Since that banquet decades ago, history has changed quietly.
Fan Yuqi was very famous, and of course Zhao Kuo knew about him. Zhao Kuo knew about such a person when he recited it in class in his previous life, and the reason why he remembered it deeply was because the teacher at the time asked them to discuss the assassination of Qin. Character, he accused Fan Yuqi of being a villain who defected to another country after losing the war. He gave his head because Jing Ke said that your clan was killed, please avenge them. Fan Yuqi had nowhere to go and could not refuse. , can only commit suicide.
Most people will advocate such conspiracy theories when they are young, or young, thinking that they are different from others, seeing the essence of the incident clearly, and are complacent. Gentlemen can probably hide their thoughts in their hearts, while barbarians can’t wait. He jumped out and challenged the teacher openly. The result of this was that the teacher was furious and stood up to finish the class amidst the laughter of his classmates.
Probably because of his past memories, Zhao Kuo did not have a good impression of this general, but he would not punish him for something he had not done yet. And because of the changes Zhao Kuo brought about, the general failed to encourage success. Xiu rebelled, and of course he did not suffer a disastrous defeat in the fight against Li Mu. He defected in a hurry, which made the King of Qin furious and killed his entire family. But what did not change was his character.
He had previously participated in the pro-government struggle between Lu Buwei and the King of Qin. He obviously had no talent, but he wanted to climb up through this method, and the result was very tragic. Even people like Wang Jian and Meng Ao were in the original struggle. No one dared to dance too much for fear of causing big trouble. Even those who supported Lu Buwei did not dare to easily provoke conflicts because of Zhao Kuo's existence.
But Fan Yuqi was brave. He wrote to the King of Qin many times, asking the King of Qin to treat the prime minister like his father, and even wanted to give Lu Buwei the title of Zhongfu. This is probably related to ability. Ability includes wisdom, so there is wisdom. People know when to attack and when to stop, but Fan Yuqi obviously did not have such ability, and his wholehearted advocacy of the prime minister's actions made the King of Qin hate him more and more.
Even Lu Buwei disliked him because of this, thinking that his behavior was alienating himself from the King of Qin. In this way, when the battle came to an end and the King of Qin began to rule personally, those who originally followed Lu Buwei were not punished. Han However, people like Li Si were still reused, but Fan Yuqi, who was too lively, had to face the wrath of King Qin alone, and Lu Buwei was not willing to protect him.
In this way, he was kicked out of the political core and moved to a local official. The King of Qin was not willing to give him another chance to climb up, just because he did not make any big mistakes, nor was he punished excessively. Don't worry.

Zhao Kuo didn't believe it when he heard the news from Mao Jiao that someone in Chen County was rebelling. In today's Qin State, who dares to rebel? Anyone with a brain can see that it is certain that the Qin State will be the king of the world. , no country can compete with Qin anymore, even if you tie the remaining three countries together, choosing to rebel at this time is simply a life-threatening situation, but when he heard Fan Yuqi's name Later, I suddenly felt that this might be true.
He was a little worried about Cheng Jiao. Cheng Jiao was studying in various places. He was afraid that when he came to Chen County, a scene in history would happen again. He looked at Mao Jiao in front of him. Mao Jiao could clearly feel that Zhao Kuo's breathing became... It was a lot thicker. Zhao Kuo lowered his head uneasily and asked: "How is the situation in Chen County itself?" Mao Jiao hurriedly explained: "Chen County was established less than fifteen years ago. Chen County here, It was originally the royal capital of Chu State, so the situation here is not very good."
"From time to time, Chu people fled into Chen County, and local people fled into Chu territory... During these days, there were more than a dozen major and minor rebellions in Chen County. However, after Fan Yuqi began to govern here, there were already three There has never been any turmoil in the past years... Do you suspect Fan Yuqi?" Mao Jiao's eyes widened. Although Mao Jiao suspected that someone in Chen County was treasonous, he did not mainly suspect Fan Yuqi. After all, he was the governor of the Qin State. .
The last prefect who wanted to rebel was Wang Ji during the Fan Ju period.
If this is true, then the rebellion in the south is not a trivial matter. You must know that in order to resist the possible invasion of Chu, King Qin asked the three counties of Nanyang, Nanjun, and Chenjun to gather soldiers and obey Zhao Kuo's orders to prepare for the invasion. Each of these three counties summoned 20,000 soldiers... Mao Jiao was a little panicked. He looked at Zhao Kuo and wanted Zhao Kuo to come up with a solution.
"Things may not be what we thought. Maybe the Chu people defected to Chen County... It's not necessarily possible. You don't need to panic. Let me ask you, have you told others about the Chu people who crossed the river? Yes. Didn't you go question Chen Jun's people?" Mao Jiao shook his head and said: "No, I was also worried that it would alert the rebels, so I just told the matter to Xianyang, and the others didn't know about it."
"This is best." Zhao Kuo pondered for a moment and then said: "If Fan Yuqi wants to rebel, then he must collude with the Chu people. Without the help of the Chu people, he will never dare to fight with the Qin State. Confrontation, and if he wants to take Chen Jun away, now is the best opportunity, because the main force of the Qin State is outside the wall, and it will take more than a year to get them back, and it is impossible."
"First of all, we need to know whether Fan Yuqi really has such thoughts. I need your help. Please send someone to Chen County immediately to tell Fan Yuqi..." Zhao Kuo squinted his eyes and said seriously. After explaining, Mao Jiao nodded from time to time and listened to Zhao Kuo's instructions.
Chen County, Chen County. Chen County became the territory of the Qin State not long ago. Bai Qi took a detour, defeated Jingyang and Xiang Xian, captured Chen, classified it as Nanyang County, and sent people to migrate , but later Jingyang went on another expedition and took this place back, expelling the local Qin officials and people. However, Chu State certainly did not dare to move the capital again because it was too close to Qin State and too far from heaven.
Later, Meng Ao conquered this place again, and Xiang Yan sent troops to recapture it again. When Li Yuan just came to the throne, Xin Wu sent troops, and Li Yuan directly ceded this place to Qin. The two sides stopped fighting, and Qin established it here. In Chen County, due to years of wars, the flags on the top of the city were constantly changing, and Lu Buwei was too lazy to move people here. Therefore, the people living here were all Chu people, and they had a very low sense of identification with Qin.
The harsh governance of the Qin State is completely different from the loose governance of the Chu State. As a result, the local people are not very willing to live like this. The Chen land is fertile, and the people will not starve to death. They are a land of plenty, but living under the governance of the Qin State, they It was really too depressing, and the Chu State also couldn't forget its homeland, especially its old capital... This led to constant rebellions and turmoil in Chen County.
This situation is different from Nanyang and Nanjun. In Nanyang and Nanjun, there are many migrated Qin people, which can play a big role... The reason why Chenjun did not get the migrated people is because Lu Buwei believed that the area was basically protected. Can't help it, there is no geographical advantage around Chen County, with endless plains. If the Chu State launches an attack, Chen County will definitely fall in the short term. If you want to relocate the people and complete complete control of this place, you must first destroy the Chu State. .
This is the same as when Zhao allowed Wu Sui to decline.
After Zhao Kuo came to the south, he did not come to Chen County yet... Fan Yuqi stood on tiptoes, waiting for Zhao Kuo to come, with blood in his eyes... Hearing the news that Zhao Kuo was going to Nan County, Fan Yuqi was very happy, because Zhao Kuo After Kuo stayed in Nanjun for a while, he was about to come to Chenjun. He just hoped that Zhao Kuo could come quickly. However, he did not wait for Zhao Kuo, but instead he waited for the envoy from Nanjun.
This was the envoy sent by Mao Jiao, the prefect of Nanjun. He was a very young official, but his title was not low. Fan Yuqi did not dare to neglect him and hurriedly invited him to his mansion. He sat in the mansion and said, Sitting next to Qi Qi was a high-ranking official from Chen County. When this envoy from Nan County just walked in, Fan Yuqi noticed something was wrong with the young man's face, which was a bit solemn.
The young man paid homage to everyone, and then revealed his identity. The young man called him Chen Xiao, and he was Mao Jiao's assistant. After telling his identity, Chen Xiao raised his head and looked at Fan Yuqi sadly. , he said: "I am here to tell you something under the order of the prefect. Wu Chenghou came to Nanjun and felt unwell and fell ill on the bed... After consultation with the doctor, he thought that he could not get used to the soil and water of the south... .”
Hearing these words, Fan Yuqi was shocked. He stood up immediately, frowned, and asked, "What is the current situation of Marquis Wu Cheng?"
"Well, Marquis Wu Cheng insisted on coming to Chen County to meet you and ask about Chen County's situation. The eunuch couldn't stop him. However, the eunuch was worried about his health and was afraid that something unexpected would happen and couldn't explain it to Xianyang, so he sent me to ask. Your suggestion." After hearing Chen Xiao's words, Fan Yuqi's face became more solemn, and he asked: "What's your suggestion?" Chen Xiao then said: "You can come to Nanjun and visit Marquis Wucheng. , there is no need for Wu Chenghou to endure the bumps in the road."
There was some hesitation on Fan Yuqi's face, and he said with a wry smile: "I think so too, but now that Chen County is busy with affairs, it's hard for me to leave." He sighed again and said helplessly: " The reason why Marquis Wu Cheng wants to see me is because of the people of Chen County. If I leave the affairs of Chen County to visit him, he will definitely not be happy."
Chen Xiao nodded and said: "What you said makes sense...Wuchenghou also has the same idea. He insists on coming to Chen County. Can you write a letter to let Wuchenghou rest in peace and recuperate? What about coming to Chen County later? We really can't stop him. He is in a hurry to travel... I think if you can tell him some good news about Chen County, he can feel at ease, recover from his illness, and come to Chen County again. county."
Fan Yuqi said seriously: "Wu Chenghou is a wise man in the world, how could I deceive him? I happen to know a famous doctor. When he comes to Chen County, I will send a famous doctor to treat him well. You don't have to Worry!" Chen Xiao's eyes lit up, and he said: "That's fine, since you can arrange these things, then I feel at ease. Please allow me to go back and report to the prefect, and we will send someone to escort Wu Chenghou to Chen County. , please be prepared to welcome it."
"Okay!" Fan Yuqi couldn't help shouting.
Chen Xiao then left here. He hurriedly drove towards Nanjun, sizing up the situation here all the way. After he left, Fan Yuqi hurriedly summoned his confidants, and Fan Yuqi said to them seriously : "The matter is about to succeed. When Marquis Wu Cheng arrives, we will take him to the Chu State. As long as Marquis Wucheng is in our hands, Qin will never dare to take action..."
"The King of Chu said that whoever can bring Marquis Wu Cheng to the Chu Kingdom will be given the position of Ling Yin, and he will be rewarded with the land that Chun Shen Lord in the south used to own as a feudal lord of the Chu Kingdom." Fan Yuqi smiled. Standing up, he said: "The big thing can be done." Everyone in office also laughed. This was an excellent opportunity. When Fan Yuqi first came to Chu State, Chu State was already in contact with him. At first I just asked him to do some small favors.
Later, when the Qin State sent troops outside the fortress, the southern part of the country was empty, and Zhao Kuo wanted to come here again. General Xiang Yan of the Chu State came up with a crazy plan to take Zhao Kuo hostage, attack Qin State's southern city in one fell swoop, and expand the Chu State. Of course, King Chu was very happy when he heard about it. King Chu had always wanted to regain his homeland. This was of course the best opportunity. With Zhao Kuo's influence and the emptiness of Qin State, this matter was very important. There's something going on.
After learning about Zhao Kuo's arrival, Fan Yuqi hurriedly wrote a letter and informed the Chu people of the news.
Xiang Yan, who had been mobilizing troops and pretending to be intimidating his opponents, secretly gathered his soldiers and headed to the Juyang area not far from Chen County. Xiang Yan was very cautious and made almost no noise. He was here Sixty thousand soldiers were stationed, and there were 50,000 soldiers well prepared in Shouchun. He was quietly waiting for news from Chen Jun. As soon as Zhao Kuo arrived at Chen Jun, he would immediately send troops to join forces with Fan Yuqi to capture Chen Jun. County, troops came to Nanyang, Nanjun and other places.
A conspiracy against Zhao Kuo appeared in the south, and the enemy had made all preparations and was waiting for him to come. Fan Yuqi took advantage of the dissatisfaction of the people in Chen County with the Qin system to draw divisions and carefully promoted some confidants. And he gathered a lot of Chu people around him. As long as Zhao Kuo came to Chen County, he would kill the local Qin officials, control the army as quickly as possible, and then greet Xiang Yan's army. In that case, there would be ten people. Tens of thousands of troops came to the southern counties. Without Zhao Kuo, Nanyang and Nanjun were no match at all.
Fan Yuqi, who believed that he was not reused in the Qin State, gambled again, just like when the King of Qin fought with Lu Buwei.
Chen Xiao returned to Nanjun, met with Zhao Kuo, and told him that the governor of Chenjun wanted to kidnap Zhao Kuo to rebel.
ps: I’m really sorry for last night. I originally wanted to write the third update last night, but the more I wrote, the more uncomfortable I became. My waist ached, my head hurt, and I felt dizzy. I felt like I would die suddenly at the computer desk if I continued writing... If you start the next book, you must first save a manuscript of 500,000 words, otherwise it will be too tiring.
