Chapter 58: Li Si's faction strikes again
It was night, Zhao Guang and the others climbed up from the cliff again, prepared for battle, and attacked the Chimu tribe. Zhao Guang said: "Twenty of you go to set fire. You must create chaos and burn them to the point where they are helpless. You must let them
Buried in the sea of fire!" More than twenty people quietly scattered around.
It seems to be exceptionally quiet tonight, with only the constant roaring of the wind, which seems to be blowing a wave of resentment between heaven and earth. Dozens of cavalry troops have been scattered everywhere, and they are all ready, waiting for Zhao Guang's command. Zhao Guang
He led the people to Tiemu's barracks quietly. Seeing Tiemu and the others saying something from time to time, they slowly withdrew. Pushing to a secluded place, Zhao Guang signaled to light the fire. In an instant, countless fire dragons were seen.
It flew towards the houses and pastures, and burst into flames. Many Chimu tribesmen rushed out, with firelight on their bodies, including old people, children, and many animals. They kept burning like this. They immediately started shouting everywhere.
: "Chief! It's on fire, and they came back to kill me again!!" Tiemu was furious: "Quick! Put out the fire!!"
Zhao Guang made a disturbance and immediately took the people away. When He Xiaowang came, he specifically ordered not to expose himself. Now burning them with a carbine was a bad breath. He Xiaowang and Li Longxiang stayed up all night. They saw something coming from the distance.
There was a bright fire, and I was worried that something would happen to Zhao Guang. At dawn, Zhao Guang came back in disgrace. When he saw He Xiaowang, he said: "Sir! That thief was beaten by me, Zhao Guang! Haha,,, I guess this time,
They are going to be scared out of their wits. Our old Zhao can come and go freely in their camp." Li Longxiang hammered Zhao Guang's shoulder with his hand: "You kid, the fever was so good that my husband and I were worried here all night.
." Zhao Guang touched his head with his hand and laughed.
He Xiaowang had always been worried about what would happen in Xianyang, so he was eager to establish military exploits, and almost died in the Chimu clan. Zhao Guang had carefully inquired about the Chimu clan, and found that the Chimu clan not only had a strong military, but also had high prestige in the local area.
It was basically a response to one call. If the Chimu tribe rebelled against the Qin Dynasty, it would be a serious problem. He Xiaowang was eager to annihilate the Chimu tribe, but Xianyang eventually broke out in a massive wave of anti-He Xiaowang. The court was full of Li Si and Hu Hai.
He Xiaowang, a party member, is facing an extremely severe test.
One day in court, Li Si wrote to Qin Shihuang: "Your Majesty, He Xiaowang has been searching for the elixir for so long, but so far there has been no progress. Wei Chen believes that He Xiaowang relied on the combat power of the eight hundred cavalry army, plus the five troops from the southwest.
A hundred thousand troops responded from afar, and I am worried that when everything is calmed down in the southwest, that is when He Xiaowang will raise an army to rebel, we must be on guard!" Qin Shihuang angrily reprimanded: "Does the Prime Minister mean that He Xiaowang has found the elixir and kept it for himself?
Are you still worried that He Xiaowang will rebel? The last time you wrote to He Xiaowang that he would rebel, you almost missed my important event! Why did you do this again today?!" Li Si said: "Your Majesty, although He Xiaowang did not rebel, he did not rebel.
This time is different. He has established such military exploits, has a wealthy family, and has a high prestige. It is easy to raise an army to rebel." Zhao Gao said from the side: "The emperor has something to say!" Qin Shihuang looked at him and said: "Say."
Zhao Gao said: "I am bold, Your Majesty. He Xiaowang has established a military force in the southwest. The prince of the northwest and He Xiaowang are close friends. He Xiaowang has all the military power in the country! The people only know He Xiaowang. How can they know Qin Shihuang?!"
"Li Si instructed the ministers to condemn He Xiaowang. However, Ma Yuanchi, the governor of Xianyang County, said something fair. After the food shortage in Xianyang, he had seen He Xiaowang's ability with his own eyes. Ma Yuanchi still regarded He Xiaowang.
He was very impressed. Ma Yuanchi said: "Your Majesty, I have something to say. He Xiaowang is also a general. Today, there is peace and peace in the world. Only the southwest is not. When you are upright and employing people, you must not make random suspicions, otherwise you will miss the opportunity.
What a great opportunity!" Qin Shi Huang did not say anything, but Zhao Gao's words stung him: "The world only knows He Xiao Wang, but does not know Qin Shi Huang. The military power in the world belongs to He Xiao Wang!" Qin Shi Huang did not allow anyone to get involved in the imperial power.
"
Li Si said: "Your Majesty, He Xiaowang is killing innocent people indiscriminately in the southwest. He once killed civilians and achieved military success. He has a bad record. The people in Lingnan are in dire straits! Your Majesty, here is a painting of the people in Lingnan called 'Toxic as Poison'. Please take a look.
." Li Si opened the picture: he saw that many people were being slaughtered, and in the middle there was a man raising a sword to kill. It said, "Xianyang Hexiaowang, killing without blood! Torturing the people." Qin Shihuang frowned: "This is really
Sent by the common people?!" Li Si knelt down and kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, He Xiaowang behaved like this, how can it not be punished? Your Majesty, after receiving the information from the southwest, I didn't sleep at night, and didn't think about food and tea. For our great Qin Dynasty.
Country!!" Ma Yuanchi said: "Prime Minister Li, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to say this. General He opened the Lingcan in a very short time and cleared Lingnan. He made a huge contribution. How can it be just a painting?
Are you going to deny General He?" Li Si retorted: "This is public opinion! Public opinion cannot be violated!"
This Li Si is really cunning and cunning, and his acting is so realistic. Tears welled up in his eyes as he spoke. It was like tears were free of charge. Qin Shihuang thought for a long time and felt a little shaken by He Xiaowang. After all, He Xiaowang was now looking for the elixir.
It has been more than 10 years, but there is no news. No, it will be better if this continues. Qin Shihuang has gradually developed opinions on He Xiaowang. Every time He Xiaowang discusses with him about good medicine, He Xiaowang always shirks it.
Ma Yuanchi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, He Xiaowang is an important minister of the imperial court. How can he easily believe some messages? If so, wouldn't it chill the hearts of the border officers?" Li Si is a cunning old man. He had already arranged some things.
He Xiaowang was attacked by others. However, he knew Qin Shihuang's temper well, and it was impossible to make Qin Shihuang make up his mind by attacking alone. Ma Yuanchi thought that this time he would be counterattacked by the minister. Unexpectedly, Ma Yuanchi's words turned out to be
It resonated with many people, and many who had not spoken just now were pleading for He Xiaowang. One said: "Your Majesty, General He has made countless achievements, we can't just treat General He like this!" The other said: "General He has a kind heart and good military skills.
Skilled, everyone in the army admires General He. Isn't it unfair to treat General He like this?",,,,, all of them are pleading for He Xiaowang. These are all arranged by Li Si, the more people will plead for He Xiaowang.
