The Counterattack of the Villains

Chapter 12 The East Wind is Coming

Juxian Tang is located not far from Gongzi Mansion, only a few blocks away. If anything happens here, you can get there within a few minutes.

On the opening day, talented people from all over the world gathered in the front courtyard of Juxian Hall. There were thousands of people. Fortunately, Juxian Hall was big enough, otherwise it would be difficult to accommodate so many people.

The vestibule of Juxian Hall is divided into left and right parts with the main road in the middle as the dividing line.

There are fewer people on the left, only a few hundred people, and it is very open and loose. These people are well-dressed and wear various accessories.

On the right, there were two to three thousand people gathered, which was relatively crowded. These people were all dressed in coarse clothes and had their hair tied up in turbans.

Fu Su took Li Mu and mingled with the crowd, listening to their discussions with his own ears, and even took the initiative to chat with others.

Fusu had no worries about his own safety. With Li Mu guarding him, who in the world could hurt him even a hair?

Furthermore, he rarely appeared in public, and none of the people who came to Xianyang from all over the world knew him.

Who would have thought that the dignified eldest son of Qin would hang out with everyone in the hall?

Suddenly, the sound of conversation coming from the door attracted Fusu's attention.

There is a registration office in front of the door. People who enter Juxian Hall need to report their identity and origin before they can enter after registration.

"I'm Xiang Liang, Wuzhong County, Kuaiji County. This is my nephew Xiang Yu."

"Where are you two from?"

"I am a descendant of the Xiang family of Chu State."

"Oh, it's the queen of your stomach, please go to the left."

"Why do you have to sit on the left and right sides? The right side is so full and the left side is so loose."

"Your Majesty, you don't know. Among the heroes who applied for the draft, they are also divided into three, six or nine grades. Nobles from the six countries and famous families. Since ancient times, the left is the most noble, the left is the top, and the right is the bottom."

"Oh, Yu'er, look, there are quite a few people from Guizhou who have come to apply for the draft. The seats on the right side are all full. Let's go over there and meet our old friends from the six countries!"

Fusu looked at Xiang Liang with a kind smile on his face, his words and deeds were approachable, and his treatment of others was like spring breeze. Xiang Liang, who was quite popular among the survivors of the Six Kingdoms, felt a sense of fear in his heart.

He tilted his head slightly and whispered to Li Mu beside him: "That Xiang Yu is just a reckless man and not worth mentioning, but this Liang is really a talent."

"If he can be used by our Great Qin, it will be a blessing to the Great Qin. It's a pity that he...sigh."

Li Mu nodded, lowered his voice and said: "If this kind of person cannot be used by me, I must kill him, otherwise he will sooner or later become a nuisance to my great Qin."

Fusu nodded slowly, obviously agreeing with this statement.

When the time comes, the door of Juxian Hall is closed, and those who missed the time are naturally not allowed to enter again.

Fusu nodded to Li Mu and found a seat to sit down. Li Mu bypassed the crowd, entered the central hall through the back door, and then walked out from the main door.

After three drum sounds, everyone at the scene stopped talking and everyone sat down.

Li Mulang said in a loud voice: "You heroes and heroes, I have a high position in the Young Master's Mansion. I would like to welcome you to the Juxian Hall."

After saying this, he clasped his fists and made a group salute, and the people in the courtyard clasped their fists in return.

Li Mu continued: "Most of you here today have special skills. Some of you are talented people from the six countries, and some are leaders in Guizhou..."

Li Mu made some opening remarks, aroused the emotions of everyone present, and finally said: "Now, let us respectfully invite Mr. Fu Su."

What everyone didn't expect was that after Li Mu finished speaking, a man stood up from the Guizhou center on the right. He walked out of the crowd and stood in the middle of the road.

"Dear heroes, thank you for coming to Juxian Hall today. It's very polite to Fusu."

He cupped his fists and made a group salute, and everyone returned the salute.

Someone from a distinguished family stood up and asked, "Young master is so noble, why are you sitting down in the hall?"

Fusu smiled slightly and said gently: "Like everyone else, I am also a member of the Juxian Hall."

"In the Juxian Hall, of course I am indistinguishable from you, so why should I care about being in the hall?"

As soon as he said this, he immediately won the favor of most people.

Fusu walked towards where Li Mu was and said, "Fusu is not good at using empty words, so he just explains the meaning clearly."

He stood next to Li Mu, turned around, and was only half a body ahead of Li Mu, and continued: "This Juxian Hall meeting is only to recruit talents from all over the world, to plan strategies for the country, and to seek benefits for the head of Guizhou."

"There are many talents from the past six countries here. It is difficult to resolve the grudges and grudges of the past with just a few words here."

"But Fusu is willing to be honest with you and eliminate the barriers from today on. I hope you can put aside the past grudges and show your talents."

"The country will also disregard the past and grant appropriate positions based on talents. We also hope that everyone will consider the interests of all people in the world."

As soon as Fusu finished speaking, people started talking and appreciating him.

"It seems that the rumors are true. Mr. Fusu is generous, humble, broad-minded, and has the talent of an emperor."

"For a noble man, he is so approachable, which is really admirable."

Most people are very optimistic about Fusu, but those with ulterior motives, such as the Xiang family's uncles and nephews, are very afraid of him.

What Fu Su said could be said to be extremely powerful in winning over people's hearts. Not to mention the people in the head of Guizhou, there were also many people who were the remnants of the Six Kingdoms who were greatly moved.

This made some middle- and upper-class nobles in the Six Kingdoms very worried.

If most of the remaining people of the Six Nations are subdued by Fusu, then the Six Nations will fall into a dilemma with no one available, and the situation will be very bad for them.

After Fusu met with the people who came to apply, the Juxian Hall was officially established.

The family order of the Young Master's Mansion began to screen the applicants, and registered them in detail according to the skills that the applicants were good at. Those who were just cheating would naturally be eliminated.

Fusu and Li Mu left first. After registration is completed, Fusu will arrange positions based on the applicants' information.

At night, in an inn in Xianyang City.

After Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu attended the entertainment with a group of survivors from the Six Kingdoms, they returned to their rooms to discuss matters.

Not long after the two talked, there was a knock on the window. The uncle and nephew immediately stopped talking and looked at the window together.

“Tuk tuk tuk”

After a few breaths, the window was knocked again. The two looked at each other. Xiang Yu picked up the long sword and held the hilt. Xiang Liang walked to the window and asked softly: "Who?"

"It's me, Mr. Zhan Shigao of the Young Master's Mansion. I am the life and death brother of Mr. Xiang's disciple Yi Xiaochuan. I have something important to tell you."

Hearing the deliberately lowered voice outside the window, the uncle and nephew's expressions changed, with a slight look of surprise on their faces.

Xiang Liang made a gesture to Xiang Yu, and Xiang Yu immediately put the sword under the table.

Upon seeing this, Xiang Liang nodded and opened the window gently. Li Mu, dressed in black, immediately jumped into the room.

Xiang Liang looked around outside and found nothing unusual, so he closed the window.

Li Mu cupped his fists at his uncle and nephew and said, "Mr. Xiang, Brother Xiang, I have long admired your name."

The uncle and nephew returned the gift, and Xiang Liang said: "You are so polite, Mr. Gao. May I ask Mr. Gao if the scoundrel Xiaochuan is in Xianyang?"

Li Mu shook his head and said, "No, he just left Xianyang more than a month ago."

Xiang Liang frowned and said in confusion: "How could he leave at this time?"

Li Mutan reached into his arms, took out a book and handed it to Xiang Liang, saying, "Sir, you might as well take a look at this first."

"This is..." Xiang Liang took the book and opened it to check. Xiang Yu also came over.

I saw on the first page that it read: On the Jiayin day of the Wushen month in the 31st year of Qin Shihuang, Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu's uncle and nephew came in from the south gate, passed the market, and met His Majesty getting out of his car.

Xiang Yu said: "He can be replaced."

Liang covered his mouth and said: "My mother spoke nonsense, and the family will be destroyed!"

When the uncle and nephew saw this, their expressions changed greatly, and when they looked down, they broke out in cold sweat.

In this book, from the time they arrived in Xianyang, where they had been, what they had said, who they had met, and even what they had eaten were all recorded down to the last detail, down to the last detail.

Xiang Liang asked Li Mu in fear: "Gao Jun, what is this?"

Li Mu said solemnly: "This is the information sent back by Fusu's spies. You have been targeted since you arrived in Xianyang."

"Although Fusu is broad-minded and generous, he is always wary of the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, especially Guweihou."

Speaking of this, he looked at Xiang Yu and said with a hint of reproach: "Brother Xiang, you are too reckless. How can you be so open-minded in Xianyang?"

"Now that all your uncle and nephew's plans have been known to Fusu, the reason why he remains calm now is because he considers the overall situation."

"When most of the remnants of the Six Nations are taken in by him and everything settles, that's when he will take action against you."

Xiang Yu opened his mouth, but in the end nothing came out. It was indeed his fault this time. He ruined his uncle's plan and put himself in a crisis. He had nothing to say.

Xiang Liang walked around the room for a few steps in surprise, then suddenly looked at Li Mu and asked, "Gao Jun, why did you tell me and the two of you?"

Li Mu looked at him and smiled: "I'm from Handan."

The uncle and nephew suddenly realized that Handan was the capital of the Zhao Kingdom. Li Mu's words were worth a thousand words.

"You are Xiaochuan's master and sworn brother, and you are also one of the few talented people among the survivors of the Six Nations. How can I watch you fall into a dead end?"

"Ogawa has gone through many things since he left the school. Now he is wholeheartedly anti-Qin."

"More than a month ago, I gave him all the wealth I had saved and the hundreds of warriors I had secretly trained, so that he could recruit troops and build up strength."

"When Ogawa gets into trouble in the future, I will be able to respond to him and provide him with all kinds of help."

Li Mu's words made the uncle and nephew overjoyed and inexplicably excited, exclaiming that this apprentice (brother) had finally made his mark.

Xiang Yu said happily: "Brother Gaoyao, do you know where Xiaochuan went?"

Li Mudao: "Yunmeng Daze, where bandits are rampant, he plans to subdue those bandits one by one, integrate them, and form a large army."

"Use Yunmengze as the foundation, spread to the surrounding areas, and slowly encroach on the Jianghan area."

Xiang Liang said happily: "Okay, Xiaochuan is courageous and has not let me down. Yu'er, we will return to Jiangdong immediately and secretly develop our power."

"When something happens tomorrow, we will coordinate with Xiaochuan and Dongxi to overthrow the Qin Dynasty in one fell swoop."

Li Mu said hurriedly: "Mr. Xiang, please don't be impatient. It's getting late now, there are guards patrolling outside, and Fusu's spies are entrenched. It's difficult to stay safe if you leave at this time."

"Now that the major events in Juxian Hall are undecided, Fusu will not attack you for the time being. I will send my confidants to prepare dry food for the horses in the south of the city tomorrow. You can leave the city in a big way."

Xiang Liang said happily: "What Mr. Gao said is reasonable, so I will rely on Mr. Gao for everything."

The next day.

Li Mu and Fusu were sorting out the roster of Juxian Hall in the study, discussing where to place these people.

A snare leader came in a hurry and said to Fusu: "Master Qi, uncle and nephew Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu suddenly left the city today. Someone seems to be waiting for them outside the city, and they have left Xianyang at this moment."

"What?" Li Mu's face darkened and he said, "But you acted carelessly, what did they notice?"

The leader immediately knelt down on one knee, lowered his head and clasped his fists, saying: "This subordinate is not doing his job well, please punish me."

Fusu, who had frowned subconsciously when he first heard the news, waved his hands and took the initiative to excuse him: "You are not to blame for this."

"Uncles and nephews from the Xiang family are extraordinary. It is rare that you were able to monitor us for so long before being noticed."

The leader said gratefully: "Young Master is merciful, and my subordinates are willing to die for you. Now I will lead people to recover these two people."

Fusu smiled and said: "That's not necessary. If they want to leave, just let them leave. Now 70% of the survivors of the Six Kingdoms have surrendered to the Qin Dynasty. I'm afraid they won't be able to cause any trouble."

"Now we know which people have ulterior motives and which ones are sincerely loyal to us. Let's withdraw them all!"

"You should step up training of new recruits and spread out this dragnet as soon as possible. Once the dragnet is spread all over the world, their movements will be under our control and they will no longer be a threat."

"promise."

Fusu has already realized the benefits of being a spy. The feeling of being able to control the overall situation fascinates him.

Now he is even more determined to develop the network into an intelligence organization that covers the world.

As a result, Li Mu gained more and more power.

Since the establishment of Ji Xiantang, there was nothing that Li Mu needed to be particularly concerned about for the time being, and his life had entered a stable trajectory.

Every day he goes to court, handles the government affairs of the Young Master's Mansion, and trains more members of Luowang and Yemu.

After a period of time, he began to send people to open branches in the thirty-six counties of Daqin, develop offline, and weave Daqin intelligence network.

People who joined Juxian Hall played a role in various grassroots positions, allowing Daqin to operate more efficiently.

Now Yi Xiaochuan has gone to Yunmengze to torment, while Yu Shu is eating well in the palace, living a good life, praying for Yi Xiaochuan every day, and looking forward to the day when he returns as king.

Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu secretly trained Jiangdong soldiers in Jiangdong, and Liu Bang had completely withdrawn from the stage of history.

Meng Tian went to the north to supervise the construction of the Great Wall and the Straight Road to guard against the Huns and Rong Di. Zhao Gao, who was stirring up trouble, was no longer in the court, and the situation in Xianyang completely calmed down.

All the love, hate, and resentment in the original play seemed to have disappeared all of a sudden.

Even the three Xiaoyue sisters are contentedly living in the mansion as their official ladies. They practice martial arts and dance every day, and their lives are peaceful and fulfilling.

It was not until four years later that this peace was finally broken.

The person who is about to break the peace comes from Tu'an, Yu Shu's hometown, and is none other than Yu Shu's mother, Queen Tu'an.

No one knew the true purpose of Queen Tuan's visit, only Li Mu knew it.

Regarding this matter, not only does he not intend to interfere with it, but he will fully cooperate with it.

During the thirty-fifth year of the First Emperor of Qin, Yi Xiaochuan developed smoothly in Yunmengze, and his power gradually grew like a snowball. Now he has 50,000 troops under his command.

The Jianghan area is centered on Yun Mengze and is almost completely under his control.

Because his army originated from Jianghan, it was named "Han Army". This was his explanation to others.

He used modern military training methods as the training outline and promoted the "Yi Jin Ji Forging Bones" to the entire army. This 50,000-strong army transformed from bandits can be regarded as the best among the best, and it is enough to stand up to ten.

As for Xiang Yu, due to the geographical disadvantage, they dare not recruit troops in a big way, and so far they have only trained 8,000 soldiers from Jiangdong.

However, once an incident breaks out, under the call of the Chu aristocracy, they can mobilize an army of 100,000 at any time, so Xiang's uncle and nephew are not in a hurry at all.

They only need to train the 8,000 direct lineage soldiers and use them as the core. Even a mob of 100,000 people can exert huge combat power.

During this period, the uncles and nephews of the Xiang family did not even think about competing with Yi Xiaochuan for supremacy in the future.

In their view, Yi Xiaochuan is their apprentice and brother, basically one of their own, and they will only be happy that Yi Xiaochuan is better than them.

Yi Xiaochuan is indeed better than them, not even a little bit better.

In recent years, Li Mu took advantage of his position, especially the opportunity to develop Luowang, to deliver a lot of supplies and soldiers to Yi Xiaochuan.

Now the Qin army has what Yi Xiaochuan's Han army has, and in terms of the individual strength of the soldiers, the Han army crushes the Qin army.

In addition to supplies and armor, Li Mu also delivers night killers to Yi Xiaochuan in batches every year.

Three batches were transported in four years, totaling about 400 people. Including the original 120 people, the number of night killers in the Han army now exceeds 500.

The first batch of night killers who followed Yi Xiaochuan to Yunmengze are now generals at all levels under Yi Xiaochuan, firmly controlling the army for him.

Later groups of people were still organized by him into the Flying Tigers to conduct special operations.

These people are loyal to Yi Xiaochuan, at least on the surface.

Anyway, Yi Xiaochuan commanded them as if he were giving orders and prohibiting them, just like an arm and a finger, so they were all treated as confidants by Yi Xiaochuan.

Today's Han army is ready for everything, all it needs is the east wind.

And this east wind, Queen Tuan sent it to Yi Xiaochuan.
