Qin Official

"Why this!"

Jianghei's words came out of Chen Hui's mouth, and Lu Ye was immediately frightened.

He looked troubled: "Zi Fu has been following me for more than a year. Don't you know that others can reduce blackness, but I alone can't?"

The reason why Lu Ye felt that he was not good was because of an old incident.

Five years ago, he was the governor of Linzi County, and Heifu was the governor of Jiaodong County.

The two counties were originally neighbors, but during Qin Shihuang's eastward tour, Lu Yan showed great auspiciousness, but Heifu said at the foot of Mount Tai that "human auspiciousness is the real auspiciousness", and immediately compared him to him.

It's not that he held a grudge, but later, when the various fields in Qi rebelled, Lu Yan and Hei Fu attacked each other in order to shirk responsibility, thinking that Hei Fu took the lead in attacking the Tian family in Jiaodong, which triggered a backlash.

Because he was afraid of being blamed by the court and underestimated the power of Zhutian, Lu Ye described the matter as a "group of bandits". It was difficult to extinguish the fire until it set a prairie fire, and he himself was almost killed by Tian An in Linzi.

Fortunately, Heifu and the Jiaodong soldiers arrived in time and rescued Linzi.

Afterwards, Heifu received a commendation from Qin Shihuang and rose rapidly. However, due to his failure in suppressing the rebellion, Qin Shihuang sent people to capture Lu Yan and bring him back to Xianyang, where he was ordered to be interrogated by Tingwei.

Qin Shihuang did not kill the heroes of the unification until he had no choice, and Lü Rui survived by chance. However, the former close ministers of the Qin Palace were deprived of their titles and reduced to common people...

However, it was a blessing in disguise. In those few years, Lu Ye improved his health. After Hu Hai came to power, "having a problem with the black husband" became politically correct, and Lu Ye's stain became a medal.

So when Zhang Han, Zhang Cang, Sima Xin and other "black gangs" were being wiped out, Lu Yan was rehabilitated by Hu Hai's court, and because of his official experience in Nanyang, he was appointed Nanyang Shou.

The imperial court was very confident about Lu Ye. Everyone, including himself, believed that Lu would never surrender to the enemy!

But Chen Hui felt that this was nothing at all!

He smiled and said, "I dare to ask the Lord, although you had a quarrel with Heifu back then, when Heifu's soldiers came to Linzi and heard about Tian'an's rebellion, did you stop the army and just sit back and watch the Lord die in the rebellion?"

Lu Ye had to admit: "That's not true. The Jiaodong soldiers entered the city very quickly. As late as half an hour, my head was gone."

"Let me ask the Lord again, after entering the city, did Hei Fu take revenge on the Lord?"

Lu Ye shook his head: "No, the food and clothing are still the same, and I am polite and polite. He just ignored me and then handed me over to the censor from Xianyang..."

Chen Hui spread his hands: "It seems that there is actually no personal grudge between Mr. Hei and the county prince. At most, there are some minor offenses due to official business. And I have heard that a husband who has the ambition to be a king will definitely let go of his personal grudges. Let your virtue spread throughout the world!"

"During the civil war in Qi, Guan Yiwu served as the leader of Gongzi Jiu, and almost shot and killed the young master Xiaobai, hitting him with a hook. But when the young master Xiaobai returned to Linzi, he appointed Guan Zhong again. When the party of the young master Jiu of Lu State heard the news, they Everyone said: 'If Guan Zhong is still alive, how much more can we do?' So he surrendered to Duke Huan of Qi."

"Eunuch Pi was once ordered to hunt down Prince Chong'er. Touxu once took away Chong'er's belongings and escaped. But when Chong'er returned home, he forgave the two of them and gave each of them positions to show their closeness. When the Jin people heard about it, they all said: ' If you don’t die even if you build a temple, how much more can we do?’ So he submitted to Duke Wen of Jin.”

"I think that black man can endure what ordinary people cannot endure and achieve what ordinary people cannot. He also wants to do what Qi Huan and Jin Wen did, and even has greater ambitions!"

"The prince's surrender at this time is like a golden horse bone delivered to his door. Instead of being embarrassed, he will be placed in a good position, promoted to a high position, and then publicize it in a big way, hoping that all the counties in Guandong will follow suit."

"Horse bones..."

Lu Ye was still hesitant. He used to be an equal colleague, but now he wants to expose his body and let him breathe...

He, Lu Ye, also wants to have face!

What's more, his wife and eldest son are still in Xianyang as hostages. What will they do if he surrenders here?

So Lu Ye said: "I admit that with Marquis Tongwu gone, even though the army is incompetent, it dares to fight with Heifu in the wild."

"But retreating to the pass and using dangerous fortresses to resist the enemy is what a mediocre general can do. Qin Sheji should not be destroyed. It is not easy for Heifu to enter the pass. Even if I retreat with the army and use my merits to gain the title, I will not lose my wealth and happiness... …”

Chen Hui laughed loudly: "Do you think that if you follow the generals' instructions and enter the customs, everything will be safe?"

Lu Ye's face froze: "What do you mean by this?"

Chen Hui said: "Don't forget, Junjun, even if Sima Yang and others retreat to Guanzhong, their troops will still be there and they will still be generals. The second generation will have to rely on them to guard the pass, so it will not be too difficult."

"But the commander-in-chief is different. He is ordered by the emperor to guard this land and govern the people, so he is called a guardian. If the commander-in-chief loses his land and abandons his people, is he still a commander-in-chief? For the second generation, there may be no more usefulness."

"Moreover, there is a clear text in the law of Qin. If a general with more than a thousand people goes to the north in battle, defends and surrenders, and flees from the ground, he is ordered to be called a national traitor. I dare to ask the prince, after so many years as an official, have you ever heard that the Qin Dynasty abandoned the country? Is there any surviving Sheriff?"

In the past, Fan Ju's cronies Wang Ji once served as the governor of Hedong. After the Battle of Handan, the front line was severely defeated and retreated all the way, leaving Hedong to Zhao Wei. As a result, Wang Lu, who was defeated, was fine, but Wang Ji was "abandoned". He was imprisoned for the crime, and later was accused of having liaisons with the princes, so he was beheaded, and Fan Ju was also implicated...

If it seems too old, there are also more recent examples.

Chen Hui said maliciously:

"I heard that the Sishui County Sheriff and Chen County Sheriff were both considered traitors to the country and killed because they abandoned their land and fled..."

Lu Ye shook his head: "I am different. It was the death of Marquis Tongwu of illness that caused the army to abandon Nanyang. The army cannot defend it yet, so what can I do as a county guard? The crime of this war is not the crime of defense..."

"Xianyang doesn't care whether you are guilty or not!"

Chen Hui broke his fantasy: "Is Feng guilty? Is Young Master Gao guilty?"

"Feng Jie is said to have died heroically in battle. Feng Quji was working hard all day and night in Nanyang, allocating troops and supplies for Marquis Tongwu. Wasn't it because the second emperor was responsible for the crime and his entire family died!"

"Junjun, the world has changed. No one has followed the laws and orders. The loyal elder will not survive until the end."

"If you think about it, you will know that Nanyang is a huge city with dozens of cities and millions of people. If you abandon it at any time, someone will have to bear the blame afterwards. I am afraid that in the end, after the county prince did those two things, not only will the people of Nanyang be punished for generations. Swearing, the second emperor will blame you for this abandonment of the land, and the Lu family will be exterminated!"

Lu Ye was silent, the sweeping operation in Xianyang Palace really made the frontline officers and guards worried about themselves.

Chen Hui kept up his efforts: "Even if Hu Hai suddenly becomes kind and nostalgic, even if the county prince is safe and sound, he will only live for a year and a half longer."

"Why?"

Chen Huidao said: "When the Zhou Dynasty was in its prime, there were princes such as Shen and Lu in Wan. The two countries were strong and became the emperor of Zhou. Therefore, Jingchu was afraid and did not dare to do anything. The Zhou family moved eastward, Shen and Lu were also reduced, and Chu was Destroy Shenlu, and seem to aspire to the throne in the Central Plains."

"This is an old story of the Four Mountains. After being in the Lu Kingdom, the Junjun will know it. Now Nanyang is about to be lost, his lips are dead and his teeth are cold, and Wuguan can't last long. When Hei Fu breaks through the barrier and enters Xianyang, he will be reckoned with afterwards, and he will burn Nanyang. For the crime of food, the county prince still has to die..."

Lu Ye almost cried: "No matter what I choose, there is no way to survive?"

After some analysis, Chen Hui clearly told Governor Lu: Except for one path, all the paths lead to death.

"For the sake of the commander-in-chief, and also for the sake of the entire county, it is better to surrender to Heihui than to die for the overthrown imperial court. This is why it is appropriate to surrender Heifu, I hope the commander-in-chief will have no doubts!"

Lu Ye began to accept his fate, sat down slumped, and murmured: "As you said, Nanyang is still under the control of the army, what should I do?"

Chen Hui came up with an idea and said: "The reason why the three armies are not in chaos is entirely because they don't know that Marquis Tongwu has passed away. The county guard only needs to secretly let people spread the news secretly, and the other people will be in chaos. They will evacuate in a hurry, and they will not care about Guan Wancheng." .”

"At the same time, Hui is willing to serve as the governor's envoy and go to the south to negotiate for surrender!"

Lu Ye raised his eyes: "How can I show sincerity?"

Chen Hui had already thought about it: "It is the greatest sincerity to tell the news of the death of Marquis Tongwu, and to be willing to present Wan and send it to the Northern Army for defense."

"In addition, there are some members of the Ye clan imprisoned in Wancheng Prison. Although they are a branch of Mrs. Wu Zhonghou and their relationship has faded, I can say that they have been secretly protected by the Jun Jun, so they are lucky to be alive..."

Lu Ye raised his palm and said: "Good, then I will do as Zifu said! Let my tribesman Lu Matong, holding the pass talisman, take you Yifu out of the city."

He gritted his teeth and said: "I will give another great gift to Hei... to Marquis Wu Zhong. On the front line, in Xinye County, there is another Sima Lu Sheng, who leads the Nanyang soldiers to guard the western suburbs of Xinye. You go to the front line, and then Tell Lu Sheng for me that when the southern army goes north, they can directly switch sides."

After saying this, Lu Ye bowed to Chen Hui and said, "The life and death of my family depends on Zifu!"

…

Although Heifu's intelligence network is not so vast as to penetrate deep into the closed Wancheng, it has also touched the hinterland of Nanyang.

In mid-March, when Chen Hui was still on the road and had not yet reached Hanshui River, Ji Ying, the guard captain who was responsible for intelligence and communications, came to report to Heifu:

"Your Majesty, secret spies have reported that the enemy troops in Nanyang, in addition to tens of thousands of people on the front line, have many signs of moving camps. The scale is very large. It is not like ordinary movements. They seem to be withdrawing from Chaowuguan!"

"Withdraw troops...Abandon Nanyang?"

Heifu smelled something amiss.

But when he combined the news brought by Li Si Jiazhai last month that "Wang Ben asked to kill Zhao Gao", it caused an uproar in Xianyang. The first thing that came to mind was that there was a fire in the other party's backyard!

"Could it be that something has changed in Guanzhong?"

"Under Silly Hu Hai, Wang, Li, and Zhao are all in their own faction. The political situation has become very tense, and a small fire can explode."

As soon as the case was discussed, Heifu began to think crazily:

"Could it be that the old guy Li Si was not secretive and sent people to surrender on the front foot, only to be discovered by Zhao Gao on the back? Zhao Gao was still fighting in a corner and wanted to kill Li Si like he did in history, but Wang Ben..."

"Has he received twelve Tao gold medals? Or is he going back to Guanzhong to kill Zhao Gao and Qing Jun?"

Heifu patted his thigh: "Tongwuhou finally understands my good intentions? Why didn't you tell me earlier and let's go together? Let's go together!"
