"What, ordered Huang Xie to serve as general and lead the army to attack Qin?" Li Yan looked at Ji Jie with wide eyes, and Li Yuan also had the same expression.
"That's right!" Ji Jie sat down carelessly, but without a hint of joking on his face, and said, "He is eager to make meritorious deeds to express himself. Why don't Yanhou and Lord Xiangguo be beautiful as adults!"
Li Yuan's expression changed, thinking that Ji Jie was going to be a white-eyed wolf.
"Brother, please don't look at me like that!" Ji Jie said to Li Yuan, and then said to Li Yan with a smile: "I'm doing it for your own good! Think about it, the reason why Huang Xie He did not launch a rebellion because he was afraid that the civil and military generals of the Chu State would be dissatisfied and urgently needed some military merit to decorate himself!"
"Of course we know!" Li Yuan said angrily: "It seems that you also know. Why do you do it now that you know it? Isn't this just what you want?"
In contrast, Li Yan behaved more calmly than Li Yuan. Although he frowned slightly, he could not tell that he wanted to get angry.
Ji Jie continued: "Listen to me! Huang Xie needs military achievements to whitewash himself, and he knows very well that he is not the material. Although he has many capable people under his command, he still feels that he cannot afford to lose, so he must gamble. Win! In this way, he can only win by buying off the generals of the enemy country and letting them deliberately let go, and win in this way. Please pay attention, if he wins, he will gain the support of everyone in the Chu Kingdom, but what if he loses? "
Li Yan immediately said the answer: "If you lose, you will be doomed!"
"Yes!" Ji Jie jumped up from his chair and said, "Huang Xie can bribe the enemy generals to release water, but can't we bribe higher-level people to change the promised release of water into a real attack? Huang Xie doesn't Knowing this, he still thought he would win, how could he not be defeated!"
"Isn't this... a bit too risky?" Li Yuan thought to himself that this was a one-shot deal, and if it didn't go well, it would be him and Li Yan who would be forever doomed.
"Wealth can be found in danger. Has Prime Minister forgotten this sentence?" Ji Jie said with a smile: "I wonder if the empress has ever remembered what I said, which made him feel infinitely close, but he will never get what he wants. The result!"
Li Yan nodded and expressed his support for Ji Jie's approach.
Li Yuan sighed and said: "What I said is correct, but I still don't know what I'm saying. Once Huang Xie is allowed to command the army, who can withstand the charge of hundreds of thousands of Wei troops?"
"What if Huang Xie is facing the Qin army?" Ji Jie suddenly said this.
"Qin Army?" Li Yuan nodded heavily and said: "In the past few decades, the Chu Army has never truly defeated them, and neither can Huang Xie!"
In a sense, this is not a good idea. After all, it will cost the lives of tens of thousands of Chu troops. But in the power struggle, what does this mean? Especially for the Chu country with its vast land and abundant resources, as long as the king With a single order, a new army can be established immediately.
Ji Jie sat down again, crossed his legs, and said: "Whether or not to make Huang Xie a general, the king has the final say, which means that Empress Yan has the final say. Whoever he wants to fight, Empress Yan has the final say!"
The current situation of Qin State is not much better than that of Chu State. Lu Buwei is also worried about how to firmly control the military power in his own hands. He can also use the same method to send disobedient generals to the front line and create a situation for them to be bribed by Huang Xie. opportunity, and then get rid of it in one fell swoop.
The two suddenly realized that they finally understood Ji Jie's good intentions.
"Okay, after I go to court tomorrow, I will issue an order in the name of the king to make Huang Xie the general of Chu!" Li Yan said, holding a pink fist.
Li Yuan nodded, then bowed deeply to Ji Jie, and said sincerely: "Jun Zhaowen is such a good strategist. I admire you very much. If this thing can succeed, my brother and sister will definitely reward you heavily!"
"Haha, rewards are not necessary. Helping others is the foundation of happiness!" Ji Jie couldn't help singing a high-pitched tune. It must be said that he was still influenced by Li Yan. With such a beautiful woman standing in front of him, any man can't help but sing. .
At the court meeting on the second day, the ministers quarreled endlessly, but in the end Li Yan overcame all the objections and announced in public that Huang Xie, Lord Chunshen, was appointed as the general to conquer Qin, and led an army of 200,000 to march towards Bajun in Qin State.
After receiving the news, Huang Xie was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night. The tiger talisman had been covered in his hand for several months and had never been used. Now he has become a legitimate general. Let's see who dares to disobey. !
The first thing Huang Xie did when he took office was not to dispatch troops or generals, nor to place his retainers into key positions in the army. Instead, he sent Mu Chun to send a gift list to Ji Jie.
The first line of the gift note reads: One hundred thousand taels of gold!
The move was so generous that Ji Jie almost had snot in his nose. Not only did this old boy not know that this was a trap dug by the young master, but he also sent so much money. His head must have been pinched by the door!
Moreover, Mu Chun also vowed to tell Ji Jie that one hundred thousand taels of gold were packed into twelve taels of carriages and had already been shipped. They would arrive in Zhaocheng in half a month, so that he could rest assured.
This Huang Xie is so damn thoughtful!
"Haha, I won't disturb you if there's nothing else!" Mu Chun bowed before leaving and said, "My master is looking forward to cooperating with you in the future. Please report the situation in Yingdu in a timely manner." Into the hands of the master!"
"Don't worry, it will definitely happen!"
After seeing Mu Chun off, Ji Jie picked up Chen Yao, kissed her vigorously, and said, "I just received one hundred thousand taels of gold from the King of Chu's treasury. Huang Xie then sent another hundred thousand taels. I am extremely rich now! As the saying goes, Take it from the people and use it for the people. All these two hundred and fifty thousand taels of gold will be handed over to you as the starting capital to revive our business in Chu State!"
"How can we use so much!" Chen Yao took out the gift note from Ji Jie's hand, shook it and said: "One hundred thousand taels is enough. The one hundred and fifty thousand taels is for the purchase of weapons. It is against the rules to give it to me directly! "
A born businessman, this is Ji Jie's evaluation of Chen Yao. He really did not disappoint him and considered everything thoroughly.
"Okay!" Ji Jie nodded in agreement.
Huang Xie's mansion was in chaos. The three thousand guests all wanted to take this opportunity to show off their talents, and there was an endless stream of people seeking to see him.
Huang Xie met with dozens of people in a row. Seeing more and more people gathered outside, he had no choice but to call in some of his senior advisers to listen to their opinions.
Mu Chun was the first to speak: "This is a good thing, everyone is trying their best! However, I think it is not appropriate to bring too many people to this trip. It is true that things are easier to do when there are more people, but there is also a saying that more people speak Miscellaneous, if it ruins the master's important event, it will be more than worth the loss!"
Several other counselors agreed, and their opinions were very close to what Mu Chun said.
"Well, you guys have the final say on who to take with you and who not to take!" Huang Xie stood up and said with great arrogance: "I have been patient for several years, and finally it's time to show off. This time I can only win but not lose!"
