On Mount Yi, Gu Xun fell slightly behind Ying Zheng and followed him towards the top of the mountain.
Going up and down Mount Yi, the most famous one is Xiaolu Terrace on the top of the northeast side.
In the past, Confucius climbed Mount Dong and reduced Lu, and climbed Mount Tai and reduced the world.
Everyone in the world knows which mountain Taishan is, but there is still debate about which mountain Dongshan is, and Yishan is one of the "suspected mountains".
Therefore, there is also a scenic spot called "Xiaolu Terrace" on the mountain.
As for whether Confucius climbed Xiaolu here, that is another matter.
After Gu Xun frightened away the assassins of the anti-Qin forces, Ying Zheng held a ceremony to worship the heaven as usual, but he did not go down the mountain directly according to the original ceremony, but took Gu Xun to Xiaolu Terrace alone.
The location of the altar is only halfway up the mountain, which is not very high. It is still some distance away from Xiaolu Terrace at the top of the mountain.
Of course this is against the rules and etiquette, but the world is huge and Ying Zheng is the biggest, so he can do it if he says it is okay.
No one dared to touch Ying Zheng's brow after he was assassinated just now.
The monarch and his ministers walked up the fine mountain road. Ying Zheng looked at the red sun in the distance and asked:
"The Imperial Master really just arrived?"
Gu Xun grinned and replied, "It's not that timely, but it's indeed late. They have already taken action."
"I thought, it's better to wait a little longer and see what means they have."
After Ying Zheng was silent for a moment, he sneered and said, "It is indeed a good method...Does the Imperial Master know those two people?"
Gu Xun shrugged, "Your Majesty, you understand me. I never care about such issues."
Ying Zheng laughed again when he heard this, but the meaning was unclear, and then asked, "How come the Imperial Master is late?"
"Something got stuck and it delayed me for a while." Gu Xun answered vaguely.
Ying Zheng glanced sideways at Gu Xun and asked, "Is there anything else that can hold you back?"
Gu Xun smiled and explained, "I am just a mortal, and I will always be tied up by some things, Your Majesty."
"Mortal..." Ying Zheng murmured softly, his eyes a little erratic.
Gu Xun walked aside, with a smile on his face and no change in his expression. He seemed not to hear Ying Zheng's murmur at all.
After a while, Ying Zheng woke up from his daze and asked in a rather uninterested voice, "What do you think of today's events?"
Gu Xun thought for a moment and replied with a smile, "It's... it's a good thing."
"Oh?" Ying Zheng wasn't angry when he heard him say that it was a good thing that he was assassinated. He just looked at him with a slightly probing look.
"There's always something going on in Mount Yi, or Mount Tai." Gu Xun explained with a smile, "Your Majesty, you are a very tempting target."
"Besides, there seems to be another force behind today's assassination, which makes it even more difficult for them to restrain it."
"If they don't take action today, I'm afraid that the one who will be affected will be Taishan Fengchan."
"The mentality of the Imperial Master is as free and easy as ever." Ying Zheng commented after listening.
Gu Xun shrugged, "It's already happened, of course you have to look at it with caution."
Ying Zheng was noncommittal and asked instead, "The Imperial Master believes that these rebels will not act again when Mount Tai is enshrined in Zen?"
Gu Xun pursed his lips and smiled, and replied in a cold tone, "I will accompany you throughout the whole journey. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, there will never be any accidents in Mount Tai Feng Chan!"
In other words, even if they are not honest, Gu Xun will ensure that Feng Chan will not be disturbed.
Only Gu Xun in the world dared to speak such words to Ying Zheng.
At the same time, only when Gu Xun said this could Ying Zheng be willing to believe it.
Ying Zheng showed a rare real smile, "These words are like those that Gu Xun, who I know well, would say."
Gu Xun smiled and did not respond, looking forward, "Your Majesty, Xiaolutai has arrived."
It is said to be a scenic spot, but in fact it is just an open space on the top of a mountain.
After all, there is no such thing as tourism in this era. Using a name to brag is the limit. No one would go to the top of the mountain to build a large-scale construction project.
Standing on the top of the mountain, Ying Zheng looked down and had a panoramic view of the surrounding scenery, which indeed felt like a "Xiao Lu".
However, Ying Zheng's mentality did not change much.
This so-called stunning view on the mountain top was nothing more than that to him as an emperor.
Even the top of Mount Tai might not be able to give him much of a sense of shock, let alone the 'Dongshan' one?
"Climb Dongshan and Xiaolu...Does the Imperial Master feel this way?" Ying Zheng looked sideways at Gu Xun and asked calmly.
Gu Xun shook his head, "It's just a mountain, not that high. Besides... the Lu country is gone."
"Where is your Majesty?"
"Ha!" Ying Zheng rolled up his sleeves and showed a real smile again, his tone was plain but with unquestionable heroism, "I have always been on the top of the mountain!"
Gu Xun remained silent after hearing this. After a moment of silence, he replied meaningfully, "Has your Majesty ever thought about a question?"
"explain!"
"If you go up the mountain, you must go down the mountain. You can't stay on the top of the mountain forever."
Ying Zheng turned back to look at Gu Xun, his eyes focused, but he did not speak.
Gu Xun looked at Ying Zheng with a smile. There was no intention of confronting him in his eyes, he just looked back calmly.
After a few breaths, Ying Zheng turned around and said, "It's time to go down the mountain."
Gu Xun stepped forward to catch up, still saying nothing.
………………
Within the foothold of the Mohist family.
"Do you think that guy would have been hiding nearby to watch the show, and finally appeared on purpose to scare everyone?" Taizhi touched his chin and raised a possibility.
Gai Nie's eyes flashed and he said nothing.
Based on his understanding of Gu Xun, this is definitely something he can do.
Master Ben stroked his beard and questioned, "There is no need for him to do this, right?"
In Master Ban's opinion, Gu Xun had no reason to allow the situation to develop into the worst possible situation.
If Ge Nie's guess is correct, this matter is basically a conspiracy planned by Zhao Gao, and Gu Xun has no reason to encourage Luo Wang's arrogance.
Gainie thought for a moment and responded, "If all this is a conspiracy, maybe... it would be a wiser choice to detonate it in advance."
"If he knew Zhao Gao's conspiracy, he should have a more appropriate way to deal with it, right?" Master Ban questioned again.
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "We know too little and are blindly guessing. There are too many possibilities." Gai Nie shook his head and did not continue to follow Master Ban's questions.
Make inferences.
Although if you want to guess, you can think of reasonable possibilities, but it's not necessary.
The snow girl interjected in a deep voice, "All our actions now are too passive."
"Alas!" Master Ben stroked his beard and sighed, "That's right, but... we don't seem to have a good way to reverse the situation."
"What do you think?" Master Ban looked at the other companions.
Thieves Zhi spread his hands, curled his lips and replied, "It's okay for me to do it, just use my brain."
The snow girl responded with silence.
She's not very good at using her brain either.
Master Ban didn't point at them either, and focused mainly on the thighs of Gai Nie and Xiaoyaozi.
Gai Nie did not express his opinion immediately. Xiaoyaozi caressed his beard and thought for a moment before speaking:
"It's better to contact the Tian family first. Maybe we can get more information."
"This matter must not be passed over in a daze."
Ge Nie followed suit and said, "Ying Zheng has just experienced an assassination. The empire is in a sensitive period. It is not appropriate to make big moves now and keep a low profile."
The combination of the two of them means - mix it up first.
It is rare that so many anti-Qin forces have gathered together. There is no need for the Mo family to be the leader now. It is better for everyone to get together, discuss and study together, so that if something happens, they can all take the blame together.
Master Ban couldn't help but grit his teeth, because the answers given by these two thighs could not change the current completely passive situation.
But he couldn't think of a more suitable plan, so he could only shake his head and give up.
………………
At the foot of Mount Yishan, Gu found Han Xin who was readjusting his defense line.
Han Xin's previous arrangements were very correct, and he easily captured a group of rebels who escaped from the mountain. He even gained more than he expected - because Gu Xun's sudden appearance scared many people.
Although I didn't catch any big fish, it was enough to make the effort worth it.
"You boy, you are very good at fooling things!" Gu Xun gave his own evaluation of Han Xin's operation.
Han Xin spread his hands and replied helplessly, "Please forgive me, sir, I really don't have enough people under my command."
If the complete Armor-Piercing Soldier was given to him, Han Xin would be able to do it...but he wouldn't be able to stop everyone.
First of all, it is really difficult for top players like Chen Heng and Tian Heng to intercept accurately.
Secondly, the general environment does not allow him to operate in this way.
Ying Zheng wants to carve stones on the mountain to praise his merits and offer sacrifices to heaven and pray. It is really not honorable for you to surround the whole mountain with soldiers at the foot of the mountain.
The most important affairs of the country are military service and sacrifice.
But under normal circumstances, Rong and Si will not be combined together, at least not in such a simple and crude way.
Gu Xun just made a joke and did not really follow the lead. He changed his tone and asked, "How does it feel to lead the armor-piercing soldiers?"
Han Xin thought for a while and replied, "I can somewhat understand why Wang Li dared to lead his troops so casually."
In the battle of Daze Mountain, Han Xin was able to create hundreds of armor-piercing troops in one fell swoop. Wang Li's own arrogance in underestimating the enemy was one of the most important reasons.
Han Xin's words are undoubtedly praising the hard power of the armor-piercing soldiers - because this army is strong enough, that's why Wang Li dared to look down on the peasants so much.
Han Xin, who had led both peasant disciples and armor-piercing soldiers in hundreds of battles, said this was undoubtedly the most convincing.
"Other than that?" Gu Xun continued to ask with great interest.
Han Xin pondered for a moment and then replied, "It feels really bad when someone is holding you back."
There were two or five boys who were holding back the enemy, which was another main reason why Wang Li was defeated in the first place.
Now Han Xin also experienced it... although he was not tricked as badly as Wang Li.
"Holding you back?" Gu Xun asked with a smile, pretending not to know, "Who is holding you back?"
Han Xin looked at Gu Xun who was acting pretentious. After thinking for a moment, he didn't say Luo Wang's name directly, but replied, "Mei Sanniang."
"She seems to have deliberately let some important people go."
Seeing that Han Xin didn't fall for the trick, Gu Xun didn't continue to play tricks on him, and turned to the problem of Mei Sanniang:
"It seems you don't like this deputy very much."
Han Xin replied impatiently and bluntly, "She has a stubborn personality and does not listen to orders. She often makes decisions without permission, leaves her post without authorization, and violates the rules. And... her thoughts are very dangerous..."
"Okay, okay." Gu Xun quickly raised his hand to interrupt Han Xin, "It seems you really hate her enough."
"However, with Mei Sanniang's mind, it won't be difficult for you to deal with her, right?"
Han Xin was silent for a moment, and then replied, "No, it's not easy... A stubborn woman is very troublesome."
"Besides, she doesn't deserve it."
As a general, if you can't even deal with one of your subordinates, you are too unqualified.
But Mei Sanniang's goal is really not worth letting Han Xin spend more time on her.
Regarding Han Xin's reason, Gu Xun opened his mouth and found that he seemed unable to refute it.
Just because you can do it, doesn't mean you have to do it. You have to consider whether giving and receiving are equivalent.
"What kind of deputy do you want?" Gu Xun asked instead.
Han Xin replied without hesitation, "Anything is fine...as long as it's not Mei Sanniang."
For Han Xin, it is enough for his deputy to be obedient. As for his ability...it doesn't matter.
Originally, Zhong Limei was the best choice. He was good friends with Han Xin, and at the same time he abided by the military code and strictly followed orders and prohibitions.
It's a pity that my account has been banned temporarily.
For the answer of 'anything goes' which is no less than 'anything', Gu Xun felt a bit toothache.
"You don't have any ideas yourself?"
"Uh... I still have it, I just don't know if you support it, sir." Han Xin replied with a slight hesitation.
When Gu Xun heard this, he raised his hand and vetoed it without hesitation, "Then it goes without saying, I don't support it."
Han Xin is not a thin-skinned person. He was too embarrassed to name the candidates immediately. I am afraid they cannot be transferred to him casually.
Without a clue, Gu Xun simply said, "You can make ends meet by yourself anyway, right?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Han Xin said nothing and nodded blankly.
For him, having soldiers in hand is the most important, and everything else does not matter.
"Well." Gu Xunyi clapped his hands and said, "Then just survive for now. Anyway, we have to wait for Taishan. You will probably be idle for a long time. These problems can be solved slowly."
Han Xin looked at Gu Xun eagerly, but didn't say anything.
To be honest, Han Xin was really obsessed with the feeling of having military power in his hands after he actually took charge of the army - especially if he was not a non-professional soldier like a peasant.
But his little arms couldn't twist the machine beast. Gu Xun told him to stay idle, so he had no choice but to stay idle.
Gu Xun didn't care whether he was happy or not, and continued, "Do you think the armor-piercing soldier is suitable for you?"
Han Xin was stunned for a moment, this question was interesting.
What this means is... let me truly take charge of the armor-piercing soldier?
Without thinking too much, Han Xin replied directly, "Suitable! Whatever troops I bring are suitable!"
Because of the preconceived concept of ‘Bing Xian’, Gu Xun didn’t think Han Xin was bragging, but he confirmed it again seriously:
"Are you sure it's suitable for you? I mean very suitable for that kind of thing."
"Uh..." Seeing that Gu Xun was serious, Han Xin also thought about it seriously, and then replied, "The armor-piercing soldiers have a strong personal style, which is not in line with my style, and there are too many public losses in their equipment.
I don’t know enough about the home’s mechanical creations.”
"However, I am sure that I can display my true strength as a battle-hardened armor-piercing soldier."
"Yeah." Gu Xun snorted and nodded, but did not give any clear explanation. He just patted Han Xin on the shoulder and turned to leave.
