Chapter 60: Meeting Xiang Yu for the First Time
After returning to the harem, Hu Hai's face became more and more ugly. When he saw the chamberlain leading the deer in front of him, he became angry and shouted: "Wait a minute!" The chamberlain stopped and looked.
Looking at him, I don't know what the emperor wants.
Hu Hai slowly came to the deer. Looking at the deer's face, he seemed to see Zhao Gao's proud smile. He couldn't help but roared and drew out the long decorative sword from his waist, and stabbed it with one strike.
It hit the deer's heart. The deer let out a mournful cry and fell to the ground. After struggling for a few times, it died.
After killing the deer, Hu Hai's anger seemed to have calmed down a lot. He put his sword back into its scabbard and said to the chamberlain: "Send this deer to the inner kitchen. I want to eat deer meat soup today." He didn't even finish saying that.
Waiting for the waiter to reply, he turned around and left.
Zhao Gao on the other side stood up and left the hall in a swaggering manner after the emperor left, but he already had a plan in his mind. After returning to the mansion, he said to Zhao Yunchu: "In my name, please tell those officials who are close to us
Say hello to them and tell them that I want them to expel all these people from Xianyang." Then he handed him a list, and the name on it was the official who said that the deer was a deer in the hall today.
Zhao Yunchu hurriedly nodded in agreement and went down to work. Zhao Gao sat at the table and remembered the scene just now, and laughed loudly: "There are still a few people in the court who dare to go against my will. In a few days, I will
Whoever is the emperor is the emperor!"
Zhao Gao in the court had already taken over all the power, and Zhang Han in the army was also victorious. At this time, he had arrived in Taiyuan City and Bai Ban was drinking heavily. Bai Ban raised the wine baron high and said: "Bai is really good this time."
I have to express my admiration to General Zhang, but in just over a month he defeated the menacing Chen Sheng and Wu Guang. The general is really our number one general in Great Qin."
Zhang Han laughed loudly, drank the wine in one gulp, wiped the wine stains on his mouth with his hand and said: "This is due to the bravery of our Da Qin soldiers. The role of this general is not great. And General Bai is too
If you are too modest, wouldn't you also defeat Fusu's army that came to invade?"
"Haha, that's what General Zhang said. From now on, together with our two armies, we will definitely be able to clear Yu Nei and make our country of Great Qin permanent!"
"It's a good saying that the country will last forever, let's have a drink just for this." Zhang Han poured another bottle of wine into his mouth first.
After the day shift drank the wine, he asked: "I wonder which rebel army the imperial court will ask us to attack next? I really want to lead the troops in person and capture Fusu and others before me, so that my previous army will be defeated."
shame."
"There is always a chance." Zhang Han said as he filled up his glass of wine, "But now I think the goal of the imperial court should be to send you and me to destroy the newly resurgent Zhao State. So you want to deal with Fusu
They will have to wait a while longer.”
The day shift angrily poured the wine into his mouth and said: "Then let them live a comfortable life for a few more days. By the way, I think General Zhang already has a way to deal with those Zhao people. Can you reveal a few things now?"
Zhang Han smiled faintly and said: "Why should I think of any countermeasures to deal with these rabble? I just need to drive my Great Qin army to the foot of Handan City, and they will naturally open the city and surrender. If they don't know what to do, with the strength of our Great Qin army
With their combat power, it is not difficult to capture Handan City."
The white class also nodded hurriedly and said: "General Zhang is right, our army's strength is much higher than that of the Zhao people, why do we need to think about it?"
What's the plan?" After saying this, the two looked at each other and laughed, as if Handan City was already in their possession.
Fusu in Jiujiang City looked around casually. He didn't even see the people in the city being nervous at all because they had just fought. It seemed that these people in Jiujiang City still regarded the tens of thousands of people outside the city as their own.
As one of his own, Fusu could not have imagined that Chu people still had such a strong sense of belonging after more than ten years.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Fusu decided to go back to the prefect's mansion. He also wanted to hear what Yu Fulong thought of the fact that Jiujiang was occupied by the Chu people. He thought that after such a long time, the two uncles and nephews should have finished reminiscing. Come.
It was almost dinner time when we arrived at the Prefect's Mansion. Fusu felt that he was just here for a meal, and couldn't help but laugh to himself.
After entering, he saw Miss Yu and Yu Fulong still talking in the front hall, but Fusu didn't know what to do for a moment. At this time, Miss Yu also saw Fusu and called out hurriedly: "Master Zhou is here, we are talking
And you."
When Fusu heard her calling him, of course he had no choice but to go up. He could only walk into the hall and said, "I wonder what you two are talking about me?"
Miss Yu said: "I am telling my uncle that you are an official of Qin Ting and want him to find you a job in the prefect's mansion."
Upon hearing this, Fusu's heart moved. If he could live in Jiujiang City first, and then slowly spread the news back to Shangjun, he could find a way to turn it into his own city. Thinking of this, Fusu hurriedly raised his hands and said:
"I'm afraid this will bring trouble to Master Yu. I see that there are still Chu troops stationed outside. If they know that I am an official of the Qin court, General Yu's face will not look good." Fusu deliberately said
Retreating to advance, the bet is that this Yu Fulong is straight-tempered although not reckless.
Sure enough, after listening to Fusu's words, Yu Fulong, who was still hesitant at first, immediately made the decision: "Now I have the final say in Jiujiang County. It can be seen that Mr. Zhou is a man of both civil and military skills, so I will give you the position of chief historian."
This official position not only assists the prefect in daily affairs but also has certain military power. It can be regarded as a very powerful position. Fusu thanked him for the appointment and then raised his own question: "Sir, there are countless people outside the city now.
Thousands of people are stationed there, but the people in the city are still living peacefully, but because of this, do the people in the city still think that they are Chu people?"
"I didn't expect that the young master would be able to hit the point just by going out like this. Indeed, the people of Chu have always been the most fond of their homeland among the six kingdoms. That's why there is a secret rumor: 'Although Chu has three households, if Qin is destroyed, Chu will definitely die.'
This is also why I accepted their surrender after they besieged the city for more than ten days. In addition to fearing unnecessary casualties, the most important thing is because the Chu people here have begun to collude with people outside, and I am helpless."
As he spoke, Yu Fulong sighed again.
"I see. I wonder what your lord's plans are next?"
"It's easy for them to enter the city now, but today they sent this letter to me, asking me to allow them to send troops to the city, and they also named a few people who wanted to be given official positions.
, so I am also very troubled." After saying that, Yu Fulong handed a roll of bamboo slips to Fusu.
Fusu took it and looked at it briefly and said: "The official position they want is the key to controlling Jiujiang City. It seems that they are well prepared. Now that you are a reduced general, I am afraid there is no way to refuse."
"Yeah, I've been worrying about this matter all day today. They said they would give me three days to think about it. I really don't know what to do. If I don't follow them, the army will be everywhere and I and a group of subordinate officials will definitely become prisoners.
, I would not be willing to accept them." Yu Fulong stroked his beard undecidedly, "To be honest, I am just giving you the position of Changshi just for a moment."
Fusu looked at the list of official positions and suddenly thought of a scene in the TV series "Yongzheng Dynasty" he had watched before. Before Yongzheng ascended the throne, he did not have the command of the capital army, but his thirteenth brother gave him the list of junior officers.
In this way, Yongzheng replaced the commanders of the army and secured his position. Thinking of this, he hurriedly said: "My lord, why don't you replace all the deputies and subordinates in these official positions with your own trusted people, so that even if they say something
As long as the people below follow orders and violate them, their power is limited."
"Come on, why didn't I think of this? Young master is really talented, you have decided on this long history. Hahahaha..." The problem was solved, and Yu Fulong finally relaxed and laughed, "Here comes someone.
I am preparing a banquet to welcome my nephew and Mr. Li."
In the next few days, Fusu began to gradually become familiar with the affairs of Jiujiang County, and he lived a fulfilling life. The only thing that he could not forget was how to inform Chen Ping, Meng Tian and others of his situation thousands of miles away.
Seeing that it was getting late and the things at hand were almost done, Fusu walked out of the prefect's house. Since he became a long history, Yu Fulong found a house for him outside the prefect. Fusu had the feeling of returning home from get off work when he was an armed policeman, but that feeling was very weak and he had completely integrated into this world.
As soon as he walked out of the gate, he saw a black war horse rushing over from one end of the street. When he arrived in front of the prefect's mansion, the knight on the horse tightened the reins, and the horse's two front hooves rose into the air, and then the horse followed.
The hoof pivoted 360 degrees before the front hoof landed on the ground, and the horse's forward momentum was stopped. "Good riding skills!" Fusu praised sincerely.
The knight on horseback jumped off his horse and came to him and said, "Are you from the prefect's house?"
Fusu looked up and found that this man was eight feet tall. He only reached his cheekbones. He was tall and muscular, with a square face and a pair of bright eyes. He could be seen from his slightly aquiline nose and upturned lips.
He is a rebellious person, and he intuitively told himself that this person is not an ordinary person. Fusu nodded and said: "Yes, I am the long history of Jiujiang City. I wonder what you can do with this strong man?"
The man put his hand into his arms and took out an invitation and said: "My uncle has ordered a banquet at Hongyan Tower to invite the prefect. I'm here to deliver the invitation." As he said this, he thrust the invitation into Fusu's hand and got on his horse.
.
"May I ask who you are?" Fusu felt that this guy was a bit rude after accepting the invitation.
The man turned the horse's head and said, "My name is Xiang Yu." After saying that, a dozen horses dismounted and ran away quickly. Only Fusu was left standing at the door blankly, watching his retreating figure. (
