Chapter 1215: Continuing the Past and Forging the Future (105) Appeasement and Provocation

There was blood on the snow, and dozens of masked assassins' bodies were arranged in a row on the side of the road, while crossbows and other objects that were intended to be used for assassination were gathered into a pile. Looking at such a miserable scene, Fan Sui's face changed slightly, "It seems that they really don't want me to return to Xianyang, even doing such a taboo."

Fan Sui pointed out that the possession of crossbows, swords and guns is not prohibited, but weapons like crossbows, which are more difficult to guard against than bows and arrows, were also quietly brought out, showing those people's determination to want their own lives.

"Have you found out the origin of these people?" Zhuo Buqun asked, looking at one of his subordinates.

"Reply to the general, these people do not belong to the army or any yamen. They look like dead soldiers raised by some people, but no valuable things that can prove their identity were found from them." Stopped, and added: "These people don't seem to be attentive. In fact, they hide very well. We did not find out before that they were actually hiding underground. But later someone actually climbed out of the hiding place, which made us see the clues."

Zhuo Buqun nodded, "Since the action has been blown away, the assassination behind is afraid that it will continue to rush to the post. You must not relax. Maybe this is just a first round."

"I understand, general."

"Go!" Zhuo Buqun waved his hand, and a group of Black Ice Platform members disappeared in front of him like ghosts.

Fan Sui's convoy continued to start, but Fan Sui became a little silent. Zhuo Buqun thought the bloody picture stimulated the prime minister who was born in a literati. He comforted him: "Master Master, I'm afraid there is still no peace ahead. If this happens again, you don't have to get off the car to check it. In fact, the person who is taking action is not required, you can guess who it is."

Fan Sui shook his head, "You said, General Lu took action?"

Zhuo Buqun smiled and said, "It is unlikely. If General Lu sent someone, we would not have found and killed them so easily. You know. General Lu's military discipline has always been strict. His subordinates cannot have such a miss."

"I hope he has not been involved, and Hangu Pass still needs him to guard it!"

Zhuo Buqun said surprisingly: "Sir, Master Li, once everyone else goes, if those people want to find another banner, they may be General Lu. And the king is worried about this, what you want to do. The biggest obstacle is probably also from General Lu. Why do you still praise General Lu so much?"

"Lu Chao is still different from Cui Yuan." Fan Sui smiled and said, "People like Cui Yuan are all great men of our Qin State. With the current policy, they are the biggest profiters, so they are naturally unwilling to change. They don't care about the rise and fall of the country. To put it bluntly, even if our Qin Dynasty is destroyed, they will still be able to live a prosperous life by lying in front of the new master. So this is why they desperately want to kill me. Lu Chao, this person doesn't care about wealth.

Otherwise, with his power and ability, he has long become the biggest wealthy man in our Qin Dynasty over the years. Don’t forget that his father-in-law is the first wealthy family in the former Han area. But Lu Chao seems to be very strict with himself. This person’s mind is still above the strength of Qin. As long as he has this in his heart, we will have a foundation for cooperation. If Lu Chao does not participate in their assassination of me this time, I would like to have a good talk with him. If he can reach an agreement with him, he will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort."

Zhuo Buqun shook his head: "It's hard to do something different than the Tao."

"I have to give it a try."

"Shoufu Fan, you said before that if your reform caused a severe shock in the country, the Han army would take the opportunity to attack. How should we face the Qin Dynasty?" Zhuo Buqun thought about it and finally asked.

"I'm afraid it's not if, but for sure." Fan Sui said: "They will not miss this opportunity."

Zhuo Buqun looked a little nervous: "When the time comes, internal and external troubles, what should Daqin do? If you use it with one mind, I am afraid you will get nothing in the end."

"This is why I want to cooperate with General Lu." Fan Sui said: "If internal troubles are not eliminated, external wars are difficult to win. Therefore, in the next few years, our focus will be on domestic and external, and we can only adopt a defensive stance, and even take some things that seem to be insulting the national system in your opinion, such as admitting defeat to the Han Dynasty and paying tribute to the people."

"How can this be done?" Zhuo Buqun suddenly changed color.

"There is nothing wrong. A small impatience will cause chaos. Even if Gao Yuan wants us to endure the humiliation under our crotch, I will grit my teeth and bear it. I will sleep on firewood and taste gall, work hard to manage it. For the sake of the future, I can bear these infamy. Zhuo Buqun, you forgot that when our Great Qin was just a small western country, how did the kings of all dynasties endure humiliation and get to the present day step by step. If the great achievements of the ancestors of all dynasties were not laid down step by step, how could they soar to the sky? Now that the king wants to reappear the glory of the former kings, how can they not learn the perseverance of the ancestors of all dynasties?"

"It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it's difficult to go from extravagance to frugality!" Zhuo Buqun sighed, "Not to mention the king, even I feel it's unbearable."

"This is our responsibility as ministers." Fan Sui lowered his eyes and said. "As the saying goes, thirty years from Hedong to Hedong, thirty years from Hedong to Hexi!"

Listening to Fan Sui's words, Zhuo Bujun lowered his head sadly, causing the once extremely arrogant Qin people to lower their heads to the Han people. It was really hard to accept love. If anyone had chosen to do so, Zhuo Buqun would rather go to the battlefield to fight to the death with them.

Fan Sui, who was about to return to the court to take charge of power, was to take the lead. No matter how the Han State provoked, Qin State could only be honest and low-key at this stage. Until the domestic reform is completed and the economy is initially restored, it can only regain the ambition to dominate the world. Now, the best way is to constantly provoke the relationship between Han and Chu and lead the Han people's goals to Chu.

When it comes to provoking disputes between Han and Chu, when he and Tan Feng were in Yingchuan, they repeatedly discussed things, thinking that the Han Dynasty's great parliamentary system was something worth using. They only needed to create some troubles on the border between Han and Chu, and those parliaments in various places would be furious. Don't underestimate the parliament, an institution that seems to have no power, but they control public opinion and public opinion. As long as the parliamentary quarrels in various places start to make trouble, the Han Dynasty government cannot show it casually. This thing was created by Gao Yuan himself. If it can be used to make Gao Yuan suffer, it will be a very pleasing thing.

Looking at Zhuo Buqun, Hei Bingtai has to do such things in the future. They are good at doing such things.

When Fan Sui was thinking about appeasement with the Han Dynasty, at Hangu Pass, Lu Chao's tens of thousands of troops were dividing into several routes and heading towards Jinyang. The war was about to break out.

Gou Xin is Gou Yi's younger brother, and his brother is the Qin general. He is the youngest at home. He is only in his early twenties this year, but he is also a general among the Qin cavalry. Originally, the scouts were not required to lead the way out, but his brother's life and death were unknown. He was anxious and wanted to arrive at Jinyang County immediately. After the army was dispatched, he took the initiative to invite Ying and led more than 100 scouts to explore the way for the army.

Scouts are a very risky job. They are the elites in the army, the strongest part of the army, but also the most casualties, because they often encounter opponents who are scouts like them, and sometimes they will step into the enemy's traps instead of the large army.

But Gou Xin didn't think about it at all. He was young and energetic, and now he was thinking about revenge for his brother. There were many rumors in the army that his brother Gou Yi must have been captured, which made Gou Yi happy and uncomfortable. What was happy was that his brother might still be alive. What was uncomfortable was that being a prisoner was not a glorious thing. Perhaps deep down, he would rather his brother die gloriously in battle, and then he would avenge his brother and chop off the enemy's head to pay tribute to his brother's heroic spirit.

"General Gou, look!" A scout suddenly shouted, and Gouxin, who was looking down and pondering, looked up, and saw a group of Han cavalry on the snow field about two miles away from them. On a rough look, the number was about twenty cavalry.

"Han army scout, come on, do them!" Gou Xin didn't think about it, and he clamped his legs and a war horse neighed for a long time, and then ran forward. While running, Gou Xin had already pulled out the saber at his waist.

As elites in the army, these scouts are good at using sabers and can also shoot on war horses.

The Han cavalry on the opposite side were not interested in fighting. When they saw the Qin cavalry that was several times more than they were rushing towards them, they fled without hesitation.

"A group of courageless cowards." Gouxin chased after him. At the moment, he was murderous and focused on avenging his brother. Even if he killed a Han man, it would be good.

Both sides chased and fled, and they went out dozens of miles in an instant. Looking at the situation ahead, Gou Xin was shocked. The dozens of Han cavalry they were chasing had stopped, but not far behind them, a large Han army camp suddenly appeared in front of them. At the moment, the drums were rumbling, the gate was wide open, and hundreds of cavalry rushed out like a righteous wind. The Han army scout who was chased by them along the way turned around and turned around, shouting and rushing towards them.

"Retreat!" Gou Xin gritted his teeth and said fiercely. Feng Shui took turns, and now it was his turn to escape.

However, it seemed that the other party did not mean to pursue them. They chased them for a while and then withdrew their troops back to the camp.
