Chapter 4: Seizing military power and deceiving Liu Bang
"promise!"
"After you capture the army, first assemble it and divide it into four."
"Meng Rui, you will lead an army and be responsible for transferring the families, property, and properties of today's loyal ministers and generals to the Bashu border secretly."
"promise!"
"Li Bin, you lead an army and immediately arrest the people from Bashu and Bashu counties who are staying in Xianyang City, especially the governors and captains of Bajun and Shujun. You want to tell them their interests and orders, and order them to help us conquer the hearts of Bashu.
"If you don't comply, I will kill you and put the blame on Liu Bang."
"After this is completed, immediately go to the palace to escort my royal aunt, your biological sister, and various royal treasures to the border of Bashu secretly."
"promise!"
"Wang Chong, lead an army to guard the entrances and exits of Xianyang City to prevent anyone from being tempted to surrender and claim credit and go to Liu Bang's camp to report the news. Once discovered, they will be killed immediately."
"You need to arrange both light and dark sentries to ensure nothing goes wrong. I have the details of the arrangements here for you."
After speaking, Li Feng took out a tips bag and handed it to Wang Chong.
"promise!"
"Bai Zhan, your task is the most arduous. You need to go to Bashang, meet up with Su Du who is defending the city, and hold on to the city to wait for changes. I will give you a tip bag. When an envoy from Xianyang meets Liu Bang, you can
Can be opened."
Su Du is a fierce general, loyal and stubborn. If he sees that my bag of advice is unreasonable, he may not be willing to obey my orders easily. You two have a close relationship, so you advise him not to resist."
"No, your Majesty, don't worry."
"Gentlemen, we are facing a powerful enemy. I'm leaving it to you."
After finishing his instructions, Li Feng bowed in front of the ministers.
After returning to the palace, Li Feng went to the ancestral temple and paid homage to the previous kings of the Qin Dynasty. Looking at the portrait of the First Emperor, Li Feng had mixed feelings: "First Emperor, First Emperor, you are the ancestral dragon and created the foundation of China for thousands of generations, but you don't want the Qin Dynasty
To die unexpectedly in the second generation, you must not feel at ease even under the circumstances.
"Now, I am fortunate to be your grandson. I only hope that your dragon soul will protect me and help me rebuild the mountains and rivers and revive the Qin Dynasty?"
........
When morning court time arrived, Li Feng, wearing a black royal robe, sat majestically above the main hall, but the ministers below, except for those who attended the Meng Mansion banquet last night, no longer showed much respect.
It’s understandable that everyone is pushing against you, but it’s unforgivable!
As usual, it was the old guys who spoke first, and they made the same persuasive speeches for thousands of years.
Han Fu, the imperial censor, was the most active, as if he was the one who surrendered.
The only difference from yesterday was that today in the hall, no "loyal minister" stood up to refute him.
He just thought that everyone agreed with the surrender theory, and now he was just waiting for a word from the emperor.
In this case, Li Feng decided to let him take advantage of him and buy some time for himself.
"Lord Han's words are reasonable. I have decided to surrender to Duke Pei. However, there are still some things that need to be dealt with in the palace, and Duke Pei needs to postpone his entry into Xianyang City for a few days. I would like to send a letter to Duke Pei. I wonder if Lord Han can do it for me.
I am writing?"
"This... Your Majesty's order, I dare not disobey."
"How dare you disobey? I told you to go eat shit, will you go? I asked you to kill Liu Bang, Xiang Yu, will you go?" Li Feng could no longer complain to these sb ministers.
"Okay, here comes the person, I will serve you with pen and ink."
"Uncle Pei Gong's father, Zi Ying bows to him. Since I was the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty, people's resentment has been boiling and the people have been in trouble. Fortunately, Pei Gong led a benevolent and righteous army to save the people from fire and water. Zi Ying is ashamed and grateful...
Pei Gong is the destined emperor, and he should be blessed by nature to achieve immortal achievements. He only wishes to treat the people well and make up for Qin's mistakes...
However, I still have family matters to deal with. I hope Pei Gong will express his sincerity by granting me 10 days to deal with the internal affairs in gratitude for God's kindness in reproducing life. In order to show his sincerity, he is willing to withdraw the Overlord's army.
After 10 days, Pei Gong can march straight in without any further obstruction, and Ying should bear a thorn outside Xianyang City to plead guilty..."
Thousands of words were written eloquently, praising Liu Bang to the heavens, saying one thing after another about regret, and expressing the word sincerity vividly. The loyal ministers present burst into tears, and several ministers who were determined to surrender lowered their heads in shame.
Han Fu took such a letter and rushed towards the Bashang camp happily. He seemed to see the name of the founding hero of the new dynasty waving to him.
Li Feng also breathed a sigh of relief. The words of this thing were gorgeous, and people of this era all clapped their hands and praised it after reading it.
But in the 21st century, people with some brains will understand: "This is a fucking article of moral kidnapping."
While there is a lot of flattery in it, it also hints between the lines that Liu Bang must abide by morality and show his kingly demeanor, so he should restrain his desire to enter Xianyang, guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and give Li Feng sufficient time to prepare.
According to Li Feng's understanding of Liu Bang, this guy is still known as the Master of Benevolence and Righteousness, and he is also vigorously flaunting this thing, so this thing will most likely be used as a delaying strategy.
As for why it is the 10th?
After 10 days, I should have run away, and after 10 days, Xiang Yu will almost be here.
At the court meeting, Li Feng was showing off his acting skills, while behind the court meeting, Meng Rui and others were quietly stirring up a bloody storm.
At the Weiwei Army camp, Wang Chong had just wiped the blood from the knife edge and took off the head of General Jiang Yi. He announced to all the generals to obey the order: "Your Majesty has an order. Now I am the commander of the Weiwei Army. Anyone who dares to disobey will be killed."
No forgiveness."
The same situation is happening at the Lieutenant Army Camp.
"General Song, so you are unwilling to carry out His Majesty's will?"
"Hmph, it is absolutely impossible to seize my military power. If you push me too far, I will lead the army to defect to Pei Gong outside the city." Lieutenant General Song Shijie spoke eloquently.
"Then there's nothing more to say, kill."
Bai Zhan led his personal guards and purged from top to bottom those who dared to resist the order in the lieutenant's army.
"Those who disobey the king's orders are dead, and their families will be reviled for eternity. Do you want to be like them?"
"I don't want to, I don't want to!"
"We are soldiers of the Qin Dynasty. We live on the basis of the emperor's salary and worry about the emperor. Are you willing to follow me and save the Qin Dynasty with His Majesty?"
"Yes, yes!"
"Great Qin Dynasty for ten thousand years!"
"Great Qin Dynasty for ten thousand years!"
...........
On Bashang, in Liu Bang's military camp, Han Fu was kneeling on the ground and did not dare to move. Zhang Liang, Xiao He, Zhou Bo, Cao Shen, Fan Kuai, Xia Houying and other civil servants and generals were surrounding Peigong Liu Bang and looking at him.
It has to be said that this entrepreneurial team is full of vigor and vitality. Surrounded by the destined son Liu Bang, it does have the aura of dominating the world. Liu Bang's success in the future is by no means an accident.
When Xiao He finished reading the eloquent flattery letter, Liu Bang's smile turned crooked.
"Look, the Emperor of Qin called me uncle, but why didn't he give me his three palaces and six courtyards?"
"Hahahaha!" Everyone laughed, looking like a winner.
