Chapter 613: Gaixia’s Great Victory! Conquer the Chu Land!

"To rule the world together with all the people and nobles?"

Xiang Yu looked at Zhao Lang, was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but said,

"what are you saying?"

How can the common people be on an equal footing with the royal family?

The same goes for other people. They can't understand those ignorant people who can be tempted by a little profit and like to fight among themselves!

How can you be on an equal footing with the royal family! ?

Zhao Lang didn't explain much this time. What he wanted was not to teach Xiang Yu how to govern the world.

Absolute power represents absolute obligations, that is, absolute responsibilities.

Once a feudal dynasty reaches its end, the only choice is to change dynasties and change dynasties.

The role of the royal family in it is to fight with the noble ministers and be scolded by the people.

The emperor is still tired to death, what's the point of this?

Therefore, decentralization is a must.

Of course, when decentralizing power, Zhao Lang does not intend to use the traditional constitutional monarchy.

There is no corresponding educational foundation now. If he dares to let go like this, Da Qin will not survive in the long run.

It's not that time yet.

I will discuss these things in detail with my father when the time comes.

Now, let’s deal with Xiang Yu’s matters first.

Zhao Lang showed a smile at this time, shook his head slightly, and said calmly,

"Ayu, I will let you cross the river, but after crossing the river, I want you to leave Da Qin with the nobles and people of Chu who are unwilling to obey."

"Anyone left behind who is half-hearted will face the thunder of Great Qin!"

Xiang Yu opened his eyes suddenly, stared at Zhao Lang, and said,

"You really want to let me go!"

"Aren't you afraid that I will come back?"

Zhao Lang smiled at this time and said,

"Of course you will come back. We are now enemies of the country and the family."

He and his father can be regarded as destroying the Chu State twice, and Xiang Yu's uncle also died in the hands of the Qin army.

Hearing Zhao Lang's words, Xiang Yu was stunned for a moment, and the others even looked at each other.

Knowing that others will take revenge, let them go?

Isn’t this the danger of raising tigers?

But before Xiang Yu could ask again, Zhao Lang said again,

"But, Ayu, you have to think clearly."

"This time you have used all the strength of the Chu Kingdom to support more than 500,000 troops, recruit more than a hundred generals, and countless nobles."

"You still lost."

"Next time you come for revenge, you must remember to be stronger."

"So, I suggest you go to Baiyue first. Of course, you cannot go to the places that our Qin army has conquered."

"After I go to Baiyue, I will lay down a base first and develop well for a few years."

"There is a little shortage of supplies over there, but it's no problem. You can buy it with me. It doesn't matter if you don't have money. Ore, raw materials, and gold will all work."

"When there are more people, we can slowly expand to the surrounding area."

Soon, Zhao Lang quickly planned the development direction for Xiang Yu.

As soon as he said this, the people around him were no longer shocked and looked at Zhao Lang as if they were looking at a madman.

How can anyone give advice to his enemy to avenge himself?

And provide people with material support?

Only Fan Zeng, who was on the side, trembled when he heard this. He couldn't bear it anymore and said,

"Zhao Lang! You are so vicious!"

"you..."

Fan Zeng still wanted to speak, but the slave blocked his mouth with a piece of rag. He originally didn't want to be so rude to the old man in front of his master.

Zhao Lang didn't seem to hear this, but looked at Xiang Yu with a smile.

Just as Xiang Yu was frowning, thinking about the key point.

Suddenly, an extremely excited voice came from the side,

"Brother Lang, are you using the same method to deal with Fusu and the others?"

"Let this bastard leave Da Qin with all the hidden dangers, and then go to the surrounding areas to lay a solid foundation for us!"

"We can still rely on them to do business! This evil guy doesn't need us to do anything!"

"This is a great move!"

The people around him were stunned for a moment after hearing Hu Hai's words.

Xiang Yu looked at Zhao Lang with a complicated expression!

Only Hu Hai still asked Zhao Lang excitedly,

"Brother Lang! Am I right? Have I made progress?"

Zhao Lang blinked and then replied dryly,

"There is indeed progress."

"Just remember to keep your voice down next time."

He didn't expect that Hu Hai would actually understand his plan because of how he cheated Fusu last time.

At this time Xiang Yu's voice came again,

"Is this your plan?"

His thoughts were exposed, but Zhao Lang didn't feel a trace of shame, but replied generously,

"Not bad, do you dare to take it?"

Xiang Yu's expression changed for a while before he said harshly,

"Okay, but I have a request!"

"You must return all my people to me!"

Listening to Xiang Yu's requests, everyone felt that they were a bit outrageous, so Zhao Lang just let him go.

How dare a defeated general make so many demands!

But the next moment, they felt it was even more outrageous, because Zhao Lang nodded directly and said,

"good."

"But it's not without a request. Let's exchange it for their body weight in gold."

"There's no way you, Mr. Xiang, can't get enough gold."

Xiang has experienced so much, so he probably only has this much foundation.

He wouldn't let the other party take away too many supplies and other things.

This is all his.

Hearing this, Xiang Yu became a little numb and nodded directly in agreement.

Zhao Lang suddenly said with a smile,

"That's it, then it's settled."

Looking at Xiang Yu with a blank expression, the people around him also understood why Fan Zeng said Zhao Lang was vicious.

These methods simply used up the potential of the Xiang family and Chu State!

The most cruel thing is that even though Xiang Yu now knows Zhao Lang's plan, he still has to follow the other party's plan!

"Then please dismount and disarm, and my ship will take you across the river."

Zhao Lang said calmly.

Xiang Yu looked at the approaching boats on the river and looked at Zhao Lang again.

"Aren't you afraid that I will regret it after crossing the river?"

Zhao Lang smiled and said,

"You are a gentleman, so of course I trust you."

Xiang Yu immediately stopped talking and began to ask his subordinates to board the ship one by one as required.

When he finally boarded the ship, he looked at Xiang Bo and others and shouted very formally,

"Uncle, Yafu, Azhuang, I will redeem you soon."

When Uncle Xiang heard this, his face turned red and he didn't dare to look at him.

Xiang Zhuang wanted to speak, but was stuffed with rags.

Soon, the big boat took people to the east of Wujiang River.

Then leave.

Xiang Yu looked at the other side of the river, with a lot of thoughts in his heart. Then he looked at the Chu army following him around, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion in his heart!

I was about to say something to encourage morale.

At this time the big ship came close again.

Then he watched Zhao Lang lead the people down.

He was stunned for a while, and after a while, he recovered and said to Zhao Lang who was not far away,

"You said you believed me."

Zhao Lang asked his heavily armed men to come down and said,

"I believe you. I didn't say I wouldn't look at you."

Xiang Yu thought for a while and found that the other party did not seem to have said this, so he fell silent immediately.

Moreover, I just made such a formal promise and said goodbye to Xiang Bo and others.

We met again in the blink of an eye, somewhat awkwardly.

Of course, Zhao Lang doesn't care about that much.

"By the way, the Xiang family's manors and so on have all been taken back by the government."

Zhao Lang said carelessly,

"My army will take over here soon, please move faster."

"By the way, remember to ask others to surrender."

Xiang Yu was silent for a while, then forced himself to calmly lead the people away.

He didn't really want to say anything more to Zhao Lang, for fear that he wouldn't be able to control himself.

Looking at Xiang Yu's back, Zhao Lang seemed to think of something at this time and said loudly,

"Ayu, remember to prepare a little more gold, Yu Ji is here too!"

As long as Ah Dai was here, Yu Ji would have been delivered to him a long time ago.

It's just that he didn't bother to threaten the opponent with this military event just now.

Of course, it’s okay to change some money.

Xiang Yu was slightly startled, his whole back trembling, as if he wanted to say something, but luckily he was dragged away by Long Ju beside him.

At this time, Zhao Lang turned around and said to the messenger,

"Tell Qing Meng what happened just now, and then send a large army across the river to take over the Chu land."

The messenger nodded, got on the boat, and galloped away in the direction of the Qin army.

At this time, it was already dawn.

Inside the Qin army camp.

Meng Yi looked at the military report sent over with a look of joy on his face.

Yesterday, the Chu army attacked at night, but the Qin army was prepared and relied on its numerical advantage to stop the opponent.

It's a pity that the leader of the thieves, Xiang Yu, managed to break through. The opponent fled back to Jiangdong, and there will probably be another fight later.

But no matter what, the Qin army can be said to have won a great victory!

And in the next game, Xiang doesn’t have much strength!

In this case, it is really possible that it is the same as what Zhao Lang said.

Before winter comes, pacify the Chu land!

This is simply a miracle!

Thinking of this, even though Meng Yi has a calm temperament, he couldn't help but say with a bit of excitement,

"Come here! Send a message to His Majesty!"

"The great victory at Gaixia! The pacification of Chu Land is right before our eyes!"

Of course, for such a great achievement, I must report the good news to His Majesty as soon as possible!

Just when the messenger was about to leave, a Qin soldier hurried in and said,

"General! Report from the rear army, His Royal Highness has not been received yet!"

Hearing this, Meng Yi was startled suddenly, and then his whole body started to tremble.

If Zhao Lang had not returned to the rear army, according to the opponent's temperament, he must have gone to surround Xiang Yu!

Although Xiang Yu has a small number of people, he is extremely brave!

just in case...

Meng Yi no longer dared to think about what would happen if something happened to Zhao Lang at this time!

"Quick! Send the army to march along the river!"

Meng Yi almost shouted.

Just when the Qin army was about to take the order and leave, a messenger hurriedly walked in and said,

"Your Highness, urgent report!"

After hearing this, Meng Yi went directly to the messenger and said anxiously,

"explain!"

The messenger was startled, but he quickly explained everything about Zhao Lang to the other party.

Then he saw Meng Yi's eyes opening wider and wider as he spoke.

Until the end, even his mouth was slightly open.

Looking at the stunned Meng Yi, the messenger reminded in a low voice,

"General?"

Only then did Meng Yi come back to his senses and said with a complicated expression,

"Let Zhang Han and Han Xin follow the orders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to cross the river with their troops and take over the Chu Territory!"

"yes!"

The messenger left in a hurry.

Meng Yi stood in the camp, and after a while, he slowly came back to his senses.

He never expected that Zhao Lang would actually achieve this step!

Not to mention the pacification of the Chu Territory. I originally thought it would be done before winter, but now, in autumn and summer, it can be said that it has been achieved.

And it also reduces countless losses.

However, he did not expect that Zhao Lang drove Xiang Yu to expand the borders of Qin.

And this is a conspiracy!

If he were Xiang Yu, even if he knew that Zhao Lang was using him, he would probably jump in willingly!

Just for that glimmer of hope!

What shocked him even more was Zhao Lang's words about ruling the world together with the people.

He couldn't even understand these words!

I can only tell His Majesty everything!

Let the other party decide!

Taking out his cloth pen and ink, Meng Yi wrote down these situations one by one.

Then he handed the letter to the messenger and said,

"Send a message to Your Majesty! The land of Chu has been decided!"

Soon, the messenger took the letter and headed towards Xianyang!

A few days later, Xianyang Palace.

In the palace, Qin Shihuang was lying on the bed in a rare sight, and Mr. Qin was beside him with his eyes closed and feeling his pulse.

After he took his pulse, Zhao Gao on the side asked extremely nervously,

"Miracle doctor, how is your majesty?"

Qin Shihuang also looked at each other.

Mr. Qin said calmly,

"I'm recovering well. I'll change the medicine again."

Zhao Gao continued to ask,

"Since you have recovered well, why do you still feel tired, Your Majesty?"

Mr. Qin frowned slightly and said,

"I'm recovering well, but I'm not fine yet. I asked you to rest more. Did you listen?"

Zhao Gao suddenly became silent. His Majesty was still busy.

Qin Shihuang said nonchalantly,

"Okay, Zhao Gao, let's see the guests off."

How could he listen to the other party's nagging, but this was Zhao Lang's person, so he couldn't be too harsh.

Zhao Gao's etiquette was extremely thoughtful.

"Miracle doctor, please come with me."

After seeing off Mr. Qin, Zhao Gao returned to Qin Shihuang worriedly, gritted his teeth, and was about to persuade him.

This is something that ministers should remonstrate with.

But I heard Qin Shihuang say in advance with a bit of impatience,

"My body, I know it!"

Da Qin is at a critical moment now, how could he relax?

Zhao Gao could only sigh and said,

"Your Majesty, when His Majesty the Crown Prince has settled the Chu Territory before winter, you must have a good rest then."

Qin Shihuang returned calmly,

"Is that that easy?"

It was Zhao Lang who said that Chu should be pacified before winter.

But how is this possible?

According to the latest military report, Xiang has gathered hundreds of thousands of troops at Gaixia.

The Qin army did not have many troops this time.

I'm afraid the confrontation will take a month or two.

Just look at Pengcheng.

He calculated that Zhao Lang would not be able to break through Gaixia until winter at the earliest.

After Gaixia, what about the Jiangdong area?

Xiang has made preparations for the winter, and I'm afraid he can gather some more sergeants.

Calculating this, it will be quick to pacify the Chu land next spring.

Moreover, after the Chu land was pacified, it was necessary to appease the people and prevent the Chu land nobles from resurrecting.

That is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

If one is not done well, there will be hidden dangers.

Therefore, if we really have to wait until all this is done, three to five years will be a short time!

After all, Lang'er is still young and needs to be checked by him, so how can he rest?

Just as Qin Shihuang was making calculations for Zhao Lang, a Black Ice Guard hurried in with excitement!

The sound of running echoed throughout the palace.

Qin Shi Huang suddenly frowned, and Zhao Gao even scolded,

"As a Black Ice Guard! Why are you so reckless!"

Black Ice Guard said loudly at this time,

"Your Majesty! Urgent report from the south! Great victory at Gaixia! Conquer the Chu land!"

Hearing this, Qin Shihuang and Zhao Gao couldn't help but stand on the spot!
