Qin Official

(There was a problem with my memory. The envoy from Chu State in the previous chapter was Wu She, not She Jian. This has been corrected)

After asking Ji Ying to take the three envoys from Chu, Wei and Zhao down, Hei Fu laughed:

"You want to do something evil on my stove!"

Just then, the Chu envoy Wu She said: "The world has been suffering from Qin for a long time, so Wei Gong Wuchang's first righteousness was sung for the world. The princes immediately joined the east and led the army to attack Qin. This year, Wei Gong fought in Nanyang, and Xiang Xiang When fighting against the enemy King Ben in the Guandong, it was like hunting a deer. One person would hit it, and another would shoot it, and finally enter the pass to overthrow the Qin Dynasty. When the princes from the Guandong area arrived at Xihe, they heard that Duke Wei had killed the tyrant Hu Hai. They were very happy. I hope we can still discuss it. I hope you respect Duke Wei. Be the king and reach a peace agreement to bring peace to the world..."

He even further threw out the bait: "If Lord Wei intends to become the king, the six countries are willing to hold the captured Qin Shihuang's children to make an alliance on the Luo River, kill them to establish an alliance, and present the jade seal. From then on, the old system was restored in the world, and Chu, Wei, Qi, Zhao, Han, and Yan each have their own territories, and the generals and generals who have contributed to the destruction of Qin are made marquises and kings. But Wei Gong alone controls Guanzhong, Jianghan, and Jiangdong, and he can be the lord of the world!"

Heifu was happy at that time:

"I am a Qin official who follows the First Emperor's decree, a Marquis Wu Zhong who turns the tide, and a Great Qin Regent who continues the First Emperor's legacy."

"Why do you think I have become one of the anti-Qin princes and want to be the uncle who divides the world?"

"Moreover, does Xiang Yu know about your proposal? Does he agree?"

Heifu's face changed at that time, from dark to darker:

"You killed my generals and injured our soldiers in Chongquan, rescued Zhao Gao, the sinner of the Qin Dynasty, and kidnapped the First Emperor's children, but you came here to negotiate peace with a crown on your head. Your so-called peace talks are absolutely not sincere!"

After saying this, Heifu had the three envoys arrested.

At this time, Shusun Tong, who was sitting at the west table, took the opportunity to express his position: "Your Majesty, Qin Zuo has passed away. Your merits are great and the world is watching. Therefore, the six countries are also willing to regard you as their uncle. This response from heaven and man is different." The Qi is in unison, why don't the princes follow the trend and fulfill the throne of the emperor, so as to calm the hearts of the soldiers!?"

"Shu Sun Tong."

Heifu glanced at the Confucian scholar:

"You're stupid."

"Still bad?"

This question suppressed the bold statement that Shu Sun Tong had made up for a long time that "Marquis Wu Zhong is the illegitimate son of the First Emperor", and he quickly bowed his head and did not dare to say anything.

Heifu was very sober: "The six countries are now inferior to me in terms of military strength, and they are unable to win over people's hearts. They have been fighting for a long time, and may have begun to think about retreating, so they sent envoys to lobby. If I fall into his trap and agree to peace talks and become king, I will be the king." For more than a year, the righteousness of raising troops that has been preached has been defeated by itself!"

He touched his face. He had been wearing a mask for a long time, and it seemed that it was connected to the skin underneath the face and could not be removed.

"I will turn from a great hero who turned the tide and rectified the imperial court into a traitor who conspired to usurp the throne. The old Northern Expeditionary Army will continue to be loyal to me, but the old Qin people in Guanzhong will definitely have a bad impression of me. Those old Qin officials , will also turn away from morality!"

After saying that, he waved his hand and drove Shusun Tong out.

Heifu knew very well that Nanjun alone was not enough; Guanzhong was his future base. And if the new and old Qin people cannot be brought together, it will become more difficult to fight against the Xiongnu who are raging in the north of the Great Wall and to unify the world again.

Ji Ying also came back at this time and said:

"The strategists of the Six Kingdoms are too naive. Including the surrender of soldiers and prisoners, our army can fight at least 200,000 people, but the Six Kingdoms only have only 100,000, and they are not popular in Xihe. Regardless of this great situation, why should we do it? Peace talks?”

But Heifu saw Fan Zeng's purpose clearly: "In addition to being lucky, these three people also have a mission, and that is to test!"

"These three people are here to test me. If I am satisfied with being the king of Guanzhong and being the lord of the world in name only, it will be great. The six countries will have completed the 'killing of Qin' and can leave with dignity."

"And if I refuse peace talks, then the six countries will understand my determination one day, and they can make plans in advance to twist the princes into a rope and fight to the death!"

"Then Lord..."

Ji Ying came up with an idea and said, "Why don't we pretend to agree, and when the Luoshui alliance comes, we can kill the six countries by surprise!"

"No." Heifu shook his head and said:

"Although the words of these three people are conclusive, in fact, I am afraid that they cannot represent the three kingdoms of Chu, Wei and Zhao at all. It is not even known whether Shi Yu knew about this."

"Perhaps while sending three people to delay me, they are already preparing to withdraw their troops. When I believe it is true and lead everyone to Luoshui, only to be in vain and sit back and watch others withdraw to the east of the river. Wouldn't it be embarrassing?"

He asked Ji Ying to find a map and asked:

"Where is Han Xin?"

Ji Ying said: "General Han has marched hastily to Zhai Road (Huangling County, Shaanxi) and will arrive at Shangjun in the near future. The local Baidi people reported that although the Huns were raging in the north of the Great Wall, they were so cunning that they only allowed their cavalry to plunder the north. In the clouds, even the land of Henan was not penetrated. Maodun himself gathered tens of thousands of horses on the edge of Shangjun, and while continuously transporting the plundered people to the grassland, he surrounded Fushi (Suide County, Shaanxi Province)."

Fushi is a thousand miles away from Xianyang, and seven hundred miles away from Zhaidao. It takes a few months to reach it.

Heifu only felt toothache, because Mao Dun chose the smartest way to stay away, grab and run away.

"It seems that the purpose of this wolf cub is to take advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains to rob people of their money and silk, instead of stupidly going all the way south to prevent disasters for the six countries..."

Although Heifu wanted to go north to expel the Xiongnu immediately, but compared to the six countries that were so close at hand, the Xiongnu was only an elbow and armpit problem. Relying on Shangjun, Han Xin, and Zhang Han in the north, they were enough to hold the front line of Qin Zhaowang's Great Wall and coordinate with the new Qin Central Evacuate the population to avoid greater losses.

Heifu's eyes moved southward:

"Where is the Dongmen Leopard?"

Ji Ying pointed to a small county at the foot of Huashan Mountain, two hundred miles east of Hongmen: "Ah Bao has arrived with Xinyi in Ningqin, and will soon pass through the dangers of Taolin and arrive at Hangu Pass to accept the guard of Sanchuan Zhao Bi." surrender!"

"good!"

Heifu smiled. Now that the two divisions were in place, he could open the skylight and speak frankly.

"Reject, we must clearly reject the peace talks between the six countries, and we must let the people of Guanzhong know this attitude!"

"Immediately kill Wei's envoy Guan Gao, detain Zhao's envoy Hou Gong, and only let Chu's envoy Wu She go back. Let Gaoling's 100,000 troops prepare to attack Xihe from Weibei, while letting Dongmen Bao's 30,000 People, quickly leave Hangu eastward, destroy Maojin Ferry, burn all the boats, and recover Shaanxian County (Sanmenxia, ​​Henan)!"

"I want the Six Nations Allied Forces, especially the Chu Army, to be stranded in Hebei even if they evacuate Guanzhong, and they will not be able to return home easily!"

But now, Anpu, Weiyang and others in Jiangdong have launched an attack on Chu's rear area according to the plan?

This is a grand strategy spanning thousands of miles!

Heifu also asked Shu Suntong, who was in charge of internal propaganda, to call in: "Let the news out, saying that the bandits from the Six Kingdoms colluded with the Huns and the traitor Zhao Gao to occupy Xihe, and sent envoys to see me to show off their power and intend to use the First Emperor's daughter and princess as their lord." Threatening me to withdraw from Guanzhong and make all Xianyang subjects captives!"

He solemnly said: "But Mr. Hei is the regent of the Qin Dynasty and an official of the Qin Dynasty. He must abide by the laws of the Qin Dynasty!"

"In the laws of Qin, if a traitor takes a hostage, neither the officials nor the people are allowed to redeem the treasure and open a path for treachery! Shusun Tong, do you understand?"

Shusun Tong responded: "The six countries are like thieves who entered Xihe, my gate, burned, killed, looted, massacred households, and even kidnapped the late emperor's children, intending to use them as threats to spy on the inner house."

He spoke righteously: "But Great Qin will never bow to the bandits. They have only two choices! Either put down their armored soldiers and surrender, or they can be destroyed by Marquis Wuzhong!"

Never bow to terrorists, this is the regent's attitude. Heifu closed his eyes: "Da Shan, go ahead and do it."

Shusun Tong didn't dare to say anything else and immediately walked away.

Ji Ying came up again: "Pavilion Chief, what Wu She said during the banquet, about the eldest son Fusu..."

In order to persuade Heifu, Wu She even revealed a piece of news to him that even the six countries did not know was true or false.

"Fusu has resurrected in Haidong, occupying Liaodong and Liaoxi, and wants to return to Guanzhong. If Fusu returns to Xianyang, will you be willing to give up your power to him?"

This was really a vicious trick by a strategist. It stepped on Hei Fu's reason for raising troops, and Ji Ying couldn't help but worry.

"The eldest son is dead."

But Hei Fu looked at the dark night outside the tent and the swaying campfire and said:

"The eldest son died from the moment he left Xianyang but did not go south to join me."

"Even if he comes back alive, he is just Fusu, no longer the eldest son."

"He is no longer the successor of the First Emperor!"

Heifu turned around with a determined look:

"The regency is the system of the central government of Qin that cannot be shaken in the next ten, even twenty or thirty years."

That night in Xianyang Palace, Hei Fu told Zhang Cang his confusion. From the moment he stepped into Xianyang, he had to think further than before: What will the future system be like? How can the world be truly unified, and how can we avoid new leaders from repeating the mistakes of Qin Shi Huangdi...

As a later generation and a party member, he had his own hesitations and many bold ideas.

But once it is put into practice, it faces all kinds of troubles, power and inheritance, and many paradoxes that can make people fall into knots.

After thinking hard, Heifu could only be sure of one thing:

"The bridle of this world is already in my hands."

"This carriage carrying tens of millions of people is no longer the same one ten years ago. The old ministers of the First Emperor are dying of old age. At present, the civil and military officials of the Northern Expeditionary Army and one hundred thousand soldiers of low origin are not the same as those of the old Qin Dynasty. People together form a very important new part of it. I want to remove the rotten axle, correct the wheel, and repaint it with exquisite paint, so that the knowledgeable people in Kanto can also be included in this system..."

"So where this world goes in the future is up to me, and it can only be decided by us!"

With the success of the Northern Expedition, the situation of civilian generals and prime ministers has been completed, and it is absolutely impossible to hand over the fruits of victory to other forces.

So Heifu no longer hesitated that night, but returned to the decisiveness and coldness he had when he ordered the execution of Brother Mengtian.

But having said that, Heifu needs to have a good chat with Chen Ping. How dare he hide such a big thing?

Feeling a little hungry, Heifu asked someone to take a raw pig shoulder, put it on his head, cut a large piece with a knife, put it in his mouth, and chewed it slowly.

After a long time, Heifu stuffed the flesh between his teeth and said with a smile:

"Go tell the cook."

"The swollen shoulders are really too raw."

"You still have to warm the fire and cook it!"

…

ps: Sorry for being late, I also recommend a historical text "Picked Up a Book of the Three Kingdoms".

It is not a time-travel story. The protagonist is an indigenous spiritual emperor who has not succeeded to the throne. He just picked up a book of Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms. It is very innovative. The author is also a history major. If you are interested, you can read it.
