Li Liang didn't send people to report the victory to Ying Zheng until the next morning. This article is written by . . First post Ying Zheng was overjoyed and personally led his people to express condolences to the army. During this period, the veteran general Wang Ling took the initiative to ask for a battle. Everyone, including Li Liang and Ying Zheng, was shocked. Wang Ling has been in extremely poor health recently due to grief over the death of Wang Zhen. It is just the hardship of marching that may be difficult to cope with. ?????????????????? Pu Hu has a huge power in Tunliu, and he will never surrender and be captured. In addition, he has close ties with the Zhao people, so although this matter seems easy on the surface, it is actually not simple. Wang Ling has not been on an expedition for many years. This time he asked for a tassel, with the intention of avenging the king's jaw. Ying Zheng felt that something was wrong, but Wang Ling's words had already been spoken. If he refused, it would be because he was too old, which would be the biggest insult to the Qin people. So, he appointed Wang Ling as the chief general and Huan Qi and Wei as deputy generals, and sent troops to garrison in Tunliu to attack Puhu. That night Ying Zheng stayed in Li Liang¡¯s handsome tent. Li Liang and Ying Zheng were quite worried about Wang Ling. After discussing some details to assist them in marching, they talked about Wang Jian. Li Liang decided to wait until the war came to an end and personally lead Meng Wu and Meng Tian. Others, go to the frontier fortress to exchange Wang Jian back. This is the best way at present. It is just in time to prepare for the upcoming end of the main mission, and also to dilute the impact on Ying Zheng and others, so as to facilitate the historical causal impact on this world after he returns to the modern origin world. The system is very abnormal this time, and I don¡¯t know if I will leave with my wife and children. I can also run a peaceful and happy country for them in the frontier that will not be affected by the world. It¡¯s just that this departure may be the end of Ying Zheng, the disciple he has cultivated since childhood. Ying Zheng moved closer. She put her arms around his shoulders, hugged him vigorously, and said excitedly: "Master! Don't leave me, okay? Don't you want to see me unify the world and achieve unparalleled achievements that have never been seen before in the ages?" Li Liang backhanded him. He hugged him tightly and said sadly: "Master also wants to stay, but Master must leave. You have to annihilate all records about Master so that Master will not leave traces in the history books. This is destined Even if I don't teach you to do this, you will do it eventually." Ying Zheng looked at him blankly and said, "How could it be like this? No one would do it. It¡¯s time to forget the master¡¯s great achievements.¡± Li Liang calmed down, grabbed his generous shoulders and said, ¡°Since I taught you to become a talented person, I, Li Liang, have always regarded you as my son and watched you grow up. But it is precisely because of this relationship that I have to leave you. On the one hand, I have fulfilled my wish for your mother and raised her son. Chengcai." The "mother" Li Liang refers to is Zhu Ji. But from Ying Zheng's dark and misty eyes, it could be clearly seen that what he was thinking of at this moment was his biological mother, Mrs. Ni. Therefore, Li Liang made this attempt to narrow the emotional distance between Ying Zheng and Zhu Ji. failed. After a pause, he continued: "On the other hand, it is also to pursue my own life and ideals. Also, it is impossible for two saints to appear in one country. As long as I am here, I will only dilute the respect for you from the people of Qin. No. Do you want us to become in conflict with powerful ministers and powerful people like Lu Buwei? Only after I leave can you completely cut off your previous relationship with me and let go of pursuing your dreams, understand. We can no longer discuss this matter." Ying Zheng's eyes turned red, like a child admiring his father, and he leaned on his broad chest and said nothing. Three days later, Ying Zheng, Li Liang and other teachers returned to the court. The Queen Mother and Miao Du led all the civil and military officials out of the city to greet him. Looking at her expression, Zhu Ji¡¯s joy comes from the bottom of her heart, while Miao Du¡¯s is quite forced. ¡°Miao Du is not a fool, he is also a very cunning and despicable person. He naturally knew that he was excluded from the prince's political group. The next day the crown prince ascends the throne, and the Queen Mother Zhu Ji loses her power to assist the government. This is when he loses power. Li Liang once again stabilized Xianyang. He suddenly became the most powerful leader of the military, which made Ying Zheng's throne more stable. As long as Pu Hu was defeated, only the two parties of Lu and Mu would be left. However, in the past ten years, Lu Buwei has vigorously cultivated party members in various places and appointed private individuals. His strength should not be underestimated. Although Xian-Yang is the capital, it always needs the support of local counties in many aspects. The local army of the dynasty is under the charge of the county lieutenant. The county governor is only in charge of political affairs, while the county lieutenant is responsible for military affairs. Theoretically, the army is entirely under the control of the monarch. In times of emergency, the monarch issues orders to each county to dispatch troops. As for the armyThe tax was levied on a household basis and on a population basis. Every man of legal age had to serve the country for two years: one year as a regular soldier and one year as a garrison soldier. Guarding the frontier is called a standing army. But there are also professional soldiers who have become the main force of Da Qin. Because of the construction of the Zhengguo Canal, Lu Buwei gained the power to mobilize the local standing army, which also enabled him to strengthen his control over local forces. It was not until the Black Dragon was born and Ying Zheng established the Sangong and Jiuqing that Lu Buwei monopolized everything was broken. But Lu Buwei had already taken advantage of the past few years to cultivate his own team at the local level. Therefore, if chaos occurs, it will be much more difficult to deal with than Chenglong or Miaodu. So he was not afraid of Cheng Yu succeeding in seizing the throne, because at that time he could even use his banner to bring order to the chaos. It¡¯s just that he never dreamed that his opponent was Qin Shihuang, a rare and peerless overlord in Chinese history, who was probably more powerful than him. After returning to Xianyang, as usual, there was a feast to worship ancestors. The next day, Zhu Ji summoned Li Liang to Ganquan Palace. Li Liang had no other choice, so he went to see Zhu Ji. Zhu Ji received him in the side hall of the inner palace and dismissed the palace maid. Zhu Ji said solemnly: "Marquis Changxin said that he had not participated in the quelling of the riot at all. Even I, the Queen Mother, was kept in the dark. What is going on? It makes us worry for nothing. " Li Liang said calmly: "The reason why we can win this trip lies in the four words of 'surprise victory'. And the reason why we can be a surprise weapon is that we must have various tricks to confuse the enemy and make the enemy have wrong information. Because the enemy has many eyes and ears in the city. , so we have to resort to extraordinary measures. Please tell me." Zhu Ji stayed for a while and sighed: "Don't say such high-sounding words to me, okay? You and Zheng'er can hide it from anyone, but how can you lie to me? If you don't want Chang Xinhou to know, I won't tell him." Li Liang sighed and said, "The prince is growing up and is no longer the child he used to be. Unify the world. All obstacles that stand in his way will one day be removed by him. This is a necessary process for the growth of all kings. History has already made it very clear. " Zhu Ji's pretty face turned pale suddenly. Li Liang said in shock: "Master, what do you mean by these words? Will Zheng'er deal with me?" Li Liang said: "Queen Mother, will you stop him?" After Zhu Ji looked at him blankly for a while, she lowered her head and whispered. Said: "Tell Zhu Ji. Will Li Liang deal with her?" She still couldn't see clearly the direction of the current situation, and was still thinking about the precarious rights. Li Liang said depressedly: "You know why I entered Qin in the first place, why do you still ask this question. If you are, will you retreat with me?" Zhu Ji sighed softly. No words were spoken. Li Liang was stunned for a while. She was very disappointed and wanted to leave. Since she was so attached to power, let her and Lao Ai enjoy this last addiction to power. Suddenly, he knew that he had become a decisive figure who could influence the political situation of the Qin Dynasty, so Zhu Ji had no shame in asking her subordinates about his intentions. And he became the only person that Ying Zheng completely trusted. Zhu Ji¡¯s delicate body trembled slightly at this time and she raised her head. He hesitated to speak. Li Liang felt a glimmer of hope and said softly: "Does the Queen Mother have anything else to inquire about Li Liang?" Zhu Ji said sadly: "Tell me. What should I do?" Li Liang captured the meaning behind this sentence. It was because she had lost control of Miao Du that she felt regretful. ??In the final analysis. After all, Ying Zheng is her "son". Although the relationship between the two is deteriorating, she still will not deliberately murder her son with the adulterer. "Miao Du wants to maintain power. But everyone knows that this is impossible. When Ying Zheng is in control, Miao Du will only end sadly. The Miao Du Rebellion was the last internal struggle before Qin Shi¡¯s crown ceremony, and Lu Buwei was also implicated in his defeat. Li Liang pondered for a while, knowing that if he didn't take this opportunity to speak out what was in his heart, he would never have another chance in the future. As for whether Zhu Ji is willing to listen, that is her business. He stood up and moved to Zhu Ji¡¯s table. Kneeling on one knee, he bent his head to examine her delicate and delicate face, and said calmly: "If the Queen Mother is willing to listen to my words, Li Liang, return the power to the prince as soon as possible, and take Master Fengchang back to Yongdu to live permanently. Then the conflict between the Queen Mother and the Crown Prince can be easily resolved." Zhu Ji's delicate body shook again and she whispered: "Li Liang, I" Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps coming from behind. The two of them looked at each other and saw Miao Du, who had broken in, staring at the two of them fiercely with jealous flames in his eyes. Li Liang also glared at him fiercely. If Zhu Ji hadn't been infatuated with him and her power mentality was infinitely amplified, how could she be like this? To put it another way, Zhu Ji is greedyBecause of the power, even if Li Liang kills Lao Ai now, Zhang Du and Li Du will still appear. Fortune plays a trick on man, but he has no power to recover. When he returned to the Imperial Preceptor's Palace, Li Liang's mind was still filled with Miao Du's vicious eyes. "Three feet of ice is not just a day's cold." Miao Du's jealousy towards him didn't just start today. He is the kind of person who thinks that all women in the world must fall in love with him. He only knows how to strive for, but does not know how to give. Compared with him, Lu Buwei's methods are indeed much better than him. To a certain extent, Lu Buwei, the "secondary father", is acceptable to Yingzheng, but he will never recognize Miao Du's self-proclaimed "false father". It¡¯s just this, Miao Du has already planted the seeds of death. Let Ying Zheng deal with him. History has long proven that anyone who can become the founding emperor. They must be ruthless people, and Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng, is the best among them. This time he planned to kill Cheng Yu and Du Bi. At the same time, he ordered people to eradicate Pu Hu, which shows his thoughtfulness and ruthless nature. This is of course related to his background and experiences. When he was thinking wildly, he and his bodyguard rushed into the gate of the Imperial Palace. I saw a carriage parked in the square, and several Qinqing family generals were chatting with the guards of the Imperial Palace. When they saw him arriving, they bowed respectfully. Li Liang was overjoyed. Knowing that Qin Qing was back, he was filled with overwhelming love. He jumped off his horse and ran into the house to enjoy the happy time with his wife and children. By this time, Li Liang had already poisoned Zhu Ji and Miao, leading to all kinds of feuds. Forget it all. At this moment, life is so beautiful. Ten days later, Wang Ling and Huan Qi gathered a hundred thousand troops. Attacking Tunliu, Pu Hu also rebelled against Qin and surrendered to Zhao under the banner of revenge for Cheng Xi. Wang Bi and Yang Duanhe were repeatedly repelled by Li Mu, so they switched to the defensive and managed to stabilize the eastern counties. The situation was extremely dangerous. At the same time, King Huanhui of Han died of illness, and Prince An succeeded to the throne. Han Chuang had always been friendly with Prince An, and he took the position of prime minister and became the most influential person in Korea. And Lord Long Yang also gained great power in Wei. The two countries were closely related to each other and joined forces to resist Qin, suppressing the eastward advance of the armies of Zhou Ziheng and the Meng brothers. There are still about two years left before Ying Zheng¡¯s crowning ceremony. But in this period of time, it can be said to be long or short. No one can guess what changes will occur. On this day, Tianchang Wenjun and Li Si came to visit the Imperial Preceptor Palace together. Li Liang and Teng Yi met them together, and they were all very happy to see each other. Chang Wenjun said: "Lu Buwei has just come back. The relationship between him and Miao Du has improved significantly. From time to time they go to Zui Feng Tower to drink and have fun together. They even gave the new top card Bai Yaya to Miao Du." Li Si said coldly: "Follow me. It seems that he wants to repeat the conspiracy against Cheng Xi, which is to incite Miao Du to rebel and then remove Miao Du and make himself king. Since Lu Buwei is very powerful in the local area, it is not possible. " Changping Jun continued: "But one thing is quite strange. After the Imperial Master left, the Queen Mother went to talk to the Crown Prince, and after taking the initiative to hand over part of her power, she took refuge in Yongdu. Miao Du now travels between Yongdu and Xianyang from time to time. However, some major decisions or personnel promotions still require the Queen Mother¡¯s nod.¡± Li Liang was relieved that Zhu Ji was finally willing to listen to him, which made the relationship between her and Ying Zheng turn around. Teng Yi said: "What news is there about Mao Jiao?" Lord Changping snorted: "He said that Miao Du is cultivating power in Yongdu. There is something you don't know yet, Ling Qi became the city guard of Yongdu. Yongdu Because it is the location of the Imperial Ancestral Temple, it is under the jurisdiction of Miao Du. It can be said that Yongdu has fallen into his control. " Li Liang had known that Miao Du would definitely gain some capital, otherwise he would not be able to rebel. Teng Yi asked again about the battle situation between Wang Ling and Huan Qi. Li Si sighed: "The prince is also worried. Pu Hu has rebelled and the soldiers and civilians stationed in Tunliu are unable to hold out. The king and the general are helpless for a while. He is most afraid that winter is coming and it will be difficult to defend and attack, not to mention the unclear situation of Li Mu." The factors exist. " Lord Changping sighed: "I don't know if Lu Buwei did it intentionally or unintentionally. On the pretext that the Zheng Guo Canal was about to be completed, he mobilized a large number of local people to build the canal, leaving us with no more troops to mobilize. We are having a headache because of this. " Li Liang followed. They returned to the Qin Palace, met with Ying Zheng and asked to replace Wang Ling, who was in poor health, to lead the expedition to Tunliu. Wang Ling, who was working on an expedition at his age, was originally full of resentment for revenge. Now that his wish has been granted, his resentment should have dissipated a lot. Li Liang rode a fast horse to Tunliu alone. When he arrived, outside Tunliu, he happened to encounter Li Mu's unexpected troops. There was no time to change the commander, so Li Liang had no choice but to be a pawn before the war, helping Wang Ling and the others resist Li Mu. Although, Li Liang broke dozens of good bows and shot tens of thousands of Zhao soldiers.?However, the surprise attack of Li Mu, a peerless general, was very fast in blitzkrieg. He did not give Li Liang more time to shoot, and the iron hoof directly broke through the Qin army's defense. In addition, the garrison in Tunliu cooperated with Li Mu to attack front and back. The Qin army was defeated and retreated hastily, about a hundred miles southwest of Tunliu, to the Changzi City located at the end of Lushui, and suffered nearly 30,000 losses. Wang Ling's body was already excessively exhausted and his energy was exhausted. After arriving at Changzi City, Li Liang's peerless medical skills only allowed him to live for two days, giving him time to explain his posthumous affairs before passing away. There were four generals when Black Dragon was born, except Wang Jian. Meng Ao, Wang Zhan and Wang Ling all died within two years, which dealt an unprecedented serious blow to the Qin people. Now the only famous generals in Qin are Li Liang and Wang Jian. Others such as Huan Qi, Meng Wu, Meng Tian, ??Yang Duanhe and others have not yet reached the point of being independent. At this point, Qin¡¯s plan to advance eastward was completely shattered for the time being. If Li Liang hadn¡¯t defeated the combined armies of the five kingdoms and quelled the rebellions of Chengyu and Dubi, the Qin Dynasty might have followed the example of the Chu people and moved the capital to avoid disaster. There is no way to turn things around now. To restore the situation, the only way is to reorganize the army, which will take a long time. Li Mu¡¯s losses this time are not small, and it will be difficult for him to organize an attack in the short term. Li Liang's stay would be of no benefit to the war situation. Unless a large number of additional troops arrived soon, it would be difficult to achieve anything with these newly defeated troops. Therefore, according to the previous "defeat" negotiation with Ying Zheng, after arranging for Huan Qi to stick to Changzi City, Li Liang personally escorted the coffin of Wang Ling back to Xianyang.
