"No matter who succeeds to the throne, we are all ministers and dependent on others! No matter how high we climb, our lives will be held in the hands of others. As long as the other party wants to kill us, they can kill us.
Therefore, we cannot let Fusu, who is hostile to us and indeed capable, come to power. We cannot let Hu Hai, who only knows how to eat, drink and play, but has no ability and is not hostile to us or anyone else, come to power. When the time comes, he will inevitably
If you want to rely on others, the first person you should rely on is the person who assists him in his rise to power."
"As long as you kill several other Conglong ministers, such as Li Si, who was said to have tampered with the imperial edict, abolished Fusu, and replaced Hu Hai with you, you will become the only person Hu Hai trusts. This is also true in history.
, which is also the reason why Zhao Gao wields power and refers to deer as horses. It’s not that his power is really that great, or that Hu Hai is really that stupid or blind, it’s just because Zhao Gao was the only person he trusted or even relied on at the time.”
Having said this, Zhao Gao also understood one thing, why did the phenomenon of calling a deer a horse appear in history? He had not been in contact with Hu Hai for more than a day or two. Naturally, he knew that although Hu Hai only knew about eating, drinking and having fun, he was not a fool, nor was he a fool.
I'm not blind. Not to mention having seen these two things before, I've eaten them countless times. I don't know how many deer skins, antlers, decorations and even clothes there are.
How could you not recognize a deer and a horse?
The original reason is here!
"In this case, the two of us should assist Hu Hai! When Li Si is eliminated, you will be the head of the military generals, I will be the head of the civil servants, and the two of us will control the government and the opposition. How great!"
Guo Dong shook his head. It seemed that he couldn't do it without explaining clearly. He just mentioned something, but Zhao Gao didn't notice it at all: "I just said it, what can we do even if we are ministers? We are still ministers.
The emperor trusts us, and we can dominate the government and no one dares to disobey us. But once the emperor wants to kill us, we can only wait and die! For example, He Shen has the power over the world, is as rich as the enemy, and has countless gang members. In the end, he is not copied by everyone.
Beheaded? After all, I still put my life in the hands of others!"
"But when the time comes, you will stay in the court to assist Hu Hai to dominate the world, and I will break up with you in name. I will take advantage of your tampering with the imperial edict to break away from the Qin Dynasty and gather troops to separate one side to eradicate you, who is a treacherous person or a traitor to the Qing monarch.
, or to avenge Fusu, or to restore the homeland of the Six Kingdoms, etc. Any excuse is good. When the time comes, we will gather troops and occupy the cities, states, and counties, cede territories and become kings to form our own power. Only in this way can we be completely independent and independent, and can we control our own power.
Life is in your own hands, and you and I, brothers, each have a way out."
Only then did Zhao Gao understand what Guo Dong meant. After pondering for a moment, he nodded sharply, but then he realized: "Then what should I do? You can cede territory and become king or even found a country and become emperor, but I can't!
"
Guo Dong glanced at him: "You will stay in Daqin to control the government, eliminate dissidents, frame Zhongliang, realize your dream of gaining power, and be the highest Zhao Gao you have ever said. Then if Hu Hai can assist, you will
Assist, Hu Hai cannot assist, or the broken ship of Da Qin is about to sink, so kill yourself or Hu Hai and use fake death to escape."
"If you want to stay in the Central Plains, then come to me. You can be a nine-thousand-year-old for me, hide in the dark world, manage intelligence and killer organizations, and do things like those of the East-West Second Factory and Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty."
"If you don't want to stay in the Central Plains, or if you want to be an emperor, then use Hu Hai as a banner and secretly gather a group of loyal generals and capable ministers of the Qin State to go to Europe! Others don't know how big the earth is, and they only think that there is only one place in the world.
Central Plains, you don’t know? Wouldn’t it be great to take people to Europe to build a small country? Even if you have the ability, you can change your name, surname, and identity from the beginning, and then use those who know your identity as a eunuch to fight
They were all tricked to death in the process, and in the end, Hu Hai was replaced. Even if he becomes a king, who can say anything?"
I have to say that Guo Dong's words really tempted Zhao Gao, but after thinking for a moment, he rolled his eyes: "You think I'm like you, capable and capable, even if I don't have troops, even if I don't have troops,
, with your skills, you can easily gather a group of people to attack a city, cut off the territory and become king, but I don't have that ability! And secretly gather people, how many can I gather? Ten thousand or two people? It is estimated that it is only a few thousand at most.
We're just human beings, how can we compete with others for territory?"
Ha! Is this guy quite considerate?
"What did the teacher teach you when you were in school? Don't you know that during this period, and even for a long time to come, in addition to those powerful empires that have left their names for thousands of years, the so-called countries in Europe are actually
Even a city-state has only one or two cities, and a few hundred soldiers is not a small number. One or two thousand people is a very amazing army. Don't tell me that you can't even recruit one or two thousand people? No, I will do it then.
Wouldn't it be better to mobilize a group of elite old troops from Great Qin and find two generals to follow you to Europe?"
The two of them were talking and planning the way to go in the future. They had already arrived outside the prison. Holding two clean clothes in their hands, they went directly to the door of the cell where Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu's uncle and nephew were imprisoned.
This cell is said to be a cell, but it is extremely clean and tidy. It is fully equipped with tables, stools, beds, and there is nothing bad about it except for the dim light. It has never been locked, or it has never been locked.
All the cells were unlocked and relatively clean. They were allowed to come and go freely as long as they did not leave the prison. Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu were also provided with good food and wine every day.
As for leaving the prison... that was a prison break. He broke the agreement with Guo Dong and violated the rules of the game. So don't blame Guo Dong for being unkind. Then he will be stationed at the Zhetian camp outside the prison.
Those two thousand crossbowmen and three thousand ordinary archers will be very happy to teach them how to be a human being...how to be a human being in the next life!
"Master, Brother Yu!"
Hearing this, Xiang Liang put down the book in his hand and walked over with a smile: "Ziliang, are you here to see me as your teacher again?"
Guo Dong shook his head and then knelt down to Xiang Liang: "Master, my disciple is unfilial. I just found the opportunity to take you and Brother Yu away today! By the way, where is Brother Yu?"
Xiang Liang was stunned: "What do you mean when you say this?"
Guo Dong looked at Xiang Yu: "It means literally, I am here to welcome Master and Brother Yu when they leave here today!"
Zhao Gao, who was helping Guo Dong hold a piece of clothing with both hands, laughed: "Mr. Xiang, Ziliang and I did come here specifically to pick you up today. You see, the two of us are holding exactly the same thing.
His wife, Lu Pheasant, and my sister Xiaoyue have personally hand-made new clothes for your uncle and nephew, and they are waiting for you two to come home!"
Xiang Liang looked at Guo Dong up and down: "Yu'er and I can leave, but where is Xiaochuan? Where are the other brothers from Juxian Hall?"
"Mr. Xiang, you don't know that Ziliang risked his head in the imperial study today and did not hesitate to contradict His Majesty, so he took the opportunity to ask for orders to conquer the Rong Di who invaded the border, and brought you and the entire family together.
Everyone in Xiantang was rescued!"
Xiang Liang was stunned for a moment, then nodded with great satisfaction, and smiled with great relief: "Okay! Okay! Ziliang, you really did not disappoint me, and you did what you said at the beginning!"
As he spoke, he helped Guo Dong up from the ground, reached out and took the clothes Guo Dong was holding in his hand, shook them off and looked at them: "Well! Did you do a good job? Are you a teacher?"
Guo Dong nodded: "That's right. Since that day, Master, when you came here after being wronged, I went back and asked Pheasant to sew this dress for you."
"Okay, okay, come on, help me put it on and take a look! Then we go to Xiaochuan. Just in time, Yu'er went to him for a drink and should be at his place now."
Then, under the leadership of Xiang Liang, Guo Dong opened the cell doors one by one, released the core members of Juxian Hall, and apologized to each cell one after another. The group returned to the cell that had not been opened for a long time.
In the Juxian Hall at the gate, a group of people were drinking and celebrating.
Then early the next morning, Commander Xiang Liang came to the outside of Xianyang City to join Guo Dong's 13,000 elite troops. Under the personal auspices of Qin Shihuang, they swore to go out for battle. After marching all the way, they met again halfway.
After the old Juxiantang troops who were imprisoned in other prisons, and the 50,000 Meng army commander Ge Bing, who were led by Vice General Pang and later transferred their military power to Yi Xiaochuan, Guo Dong led these 70,000 troops to the area invaded by Rongdi.
's border.
"What we need now is to find a way to gather these guys who are scattered everywhere and can run faster than rabbits into one place, and then annihilate them together!"
Whether it is the Rong, Di or Xiongnu, including those later Xianbei, Turks, Khitan and other nomadic tribes, what troubles the Central Plains countries the most is not how powerful they are, but their unorganized and undisciplined looseness and
Mobility, chasing, unable to catch up with others, fighting, and cannon can't hit mosquitoes, tens of thousands of soldiers to fight three to five hundred people.
So after Xiang Liang is in charge of the overall military affairs, Zhao Gao is also keeping an eye on things in the rear. All he needs is to find a way to make those Rong Di Ju who run as fast as rabbits and are loose and everywhere like a swarm of bees.
Come together.
At that time, he doesn't believe that these bastards can run faster than his off-road vehicle, or faster than the machine gun bullets and individual grenades in his storage space?
Even if he didn't mention these cheating things, he and Xiang Yu, two powerful generals, led the troops into battle. He didn't believe that anyone in this era could stop them!
Therefore, conquering Rong and Di is both difficult and simple. For Guo Dong, he only needs to solve three problems. Not to mention defeating Rong and Di, there is no difficulty even if he destroys the entire Rong and Di.
The first is how to gather them together, the second is how to cut off their retreat in advance, and the third is how to get the heads of the Rong Di leaders.
It's a pity that the few people who were qualified to participate in his small meeting discussed it for a long time and couldn't come up with a reason, let alone an effective method.
After all, these people are all classified as generals, and the classification of counselors... does not exist.
