Chapter 197: Exciting General Lu Jia
"Dr. Chen is talking about the Nanyang Prince's Tomb and Taihou Meiyi?" Lu Jia thought, "They are the two people Lu Pheasant wants to win over, and they are of little use to the Qin Dynasty."
"I would like to say that they are Gong Wei, the son of Linjiang King Gong Ao, and Huang Jizhong, the commander-in-chief of Linjiang Kingdom." Chen Ping said with a smile.
"Total Lieutenant?"
Ziying had some impression of him. His father Gong Ao was loyal to King Huai of Chu, but Gong Ao was loyal to Xiang Yu.
After Gong Ao's death, Gong Wei defected to Xiang Yu and became Liu Bang's enemy. He fought bloody battles with the Han army led by Lu Wan for more than two months, and was eventually destroyed.
"The Linjiang Kingdom is extremely lax towards Bashu now, just because Chuhuai King Zhuguo Gong Ao is still alive. If he dies, things will change in Linjiang." Chen Ping smiled evilly.
"Gong Ao is ill, but he won't die this month, right?" Li Xin questioned.
"That's why we need Huang Jizhong." Chen Ping said with a smile, "Huang Jizhong once had an old relationship with Wang Yingbu of Jiujiang. Now that Gong Ao hates Yingbu to death, it will definitely affect Huang Jizhong, and his life will definitely be difficult.
.”
Ziying understood, "Does Doctor Chen want Huang Jizhong to kill Gong Ao and make Gong Wei king as soon as possible?"
"That's right." Chen Ping nodded and turned to look at Lu Jia, "I need to go to Zhai State. It seems that this credit will be given to Prime Minister Lu."
Lu Jia frowned, he was unwilling to carry out this kind of conspiracy.
"I... still need to formulate a system for testing knights for the king, so I can't get away from it for the time being." Lu Jia declined.
Chen Ping's expression changed slightly and he said coldly, "If you ride a fast horse, you can travel to Zhai State and Linjiang many times in one month. As the prime minister, you are so evasive. I have never heard that Mr. Lu Jia has done anything.
, this prime minister seems to be a bit unworthy of his position."
"you..."
Although Lu Jia was angry, he was unable to refute. Zhang Liang relied on Zhang Liang to formulate the laws of the Qin Dynasty, and conquered Yongdi after Zhang Han surrendered. These are not achievements that can be taken away.
"As a minister, you should share your worries for the king. Why should you care too much about your own creed?" Chen Ping mocked.
"Doctor Chen!"
"Your Majesty, there is no need to dissuade you." Chen Ping said coldly with a determined look, "Prime Minister Lu came from Liu Ying, and this time he is dealing with Bashu. With such evasion, your Majesty's benevolence and righteousness can be ignored. How do all the officials in the court view Prime Minister Lu?
?”
Lu Jia's face turned red, he stood up suddenly and glared at Chen Ping, "I'm not going to Linjiang, but I can go to Jiujiang as an envoy!"
"A country of robbers? Does Prime Minister Lu have the courage?" Chen Ping said excitedly.
There was a strong smell of gunpowder in the study, and Mo Fu stared at the two of them blankly, fearing that the two literati would make a move.
"Jiujiang Wang Yingbu has a grudge against me. This trip is extremely dangerous. Besides, there is no need for Prime Minister Lu to send an envoy." Ziying advised.
"It is true that there was no need to go there in the past, but I must go in the near future." Lu Jia explained, "Han Xin will occupy Hancheng and Henan State, and will border the three powerful countries of Jiujiang, Chu State, and Western Wei. If Han Xin and Jiujiang unite,
Except for Chu, no country is their opponent. From Han Xin's perspective, it is imperative to occupy the pass. Jiujiang needs to be his opponent, not an ally, in order to restrain him."
"That's true." Ziying nodded.
There was Kuai Tong beside Han Xin. In order to let Han Xin achieve great achievements, he would rather sacrifice Li Shiqi. Han Xin turned his back on the Western Wei Dynasty and was abandoned by Xiang Yu. With Kuai Tong's suggestion, it is very likely that Han Xin could jointly declare Jiujiang in disarray.
"Zhang Er has many capable people under his command. Just let them go. There is no need for Prime Minister Lu to take any risks," Ziying said.
"Although the Linjiang Kingdom matter is a vicious plot, there is nothing difficult about it. It can be left to Changshan's disciples." Lu Jia glanced at Chen Ping, "Only I can persuade Yingbu!"
"Prime Minister Lu, you don't have to worry about me." Chen Ping said with a smile, "I will not compete for this credit."
Ziying squinted her eyes, a little worried. At this point, Chen Ping's ability was stronger than Lu Jia's.
Chen Ping basically never failed in the history books. His only failure was to persuade Sima Yan, the king of Yin, to defect to Chu. He was convinced in the first place and was promoted to captain by Xiang Yu and rewarded with twenty yi of gold.
However, Sima Xun betrayed the Chu State inexplicably, which made Xiang Yu furious. Chen Ping was afraid of being retaliated, so he abandoned his official seal and gold and ran to Liu Bang's camp.
Lu Jia could only persuade some of the city-defending generals for Liu Bang at the beginning, but failed to persuade Xiang Yu four years later.
Going to Jiujiang now is no different than sending yourself to death.
"Prime Minister Lu, don't act on your own initiative." Ziying said urgently.
"Is there anything else that needs to be discussed, Your Majesty?" Chen Ping said decisively, "If not, then go back and prepare."
Seeing Ziying shaking his head, Lu Jia left the study angrily.
"Why did Dr. Chen provoke Prime Minister Lu?" Li Xin sighed, "Prime Minister Lu turned his back on them because he was suspected by Liu Bang."
"Haha..." Chen Ping chuckled, "Now and then, not only did Lu Jia not betray the king, he also corrected some of the bad habits of Confucian scholars."
"What do you mean by this?" Li Xin asked in confusion.
Chen Ping stroked his beard and said, "Back then, Confucius refused to enter the Qin State and said, 'Don't enter a dangerous country, and don't live in a chaotic country.' Prime Minister Lu, as a Confucian scholar, dared to go to a place like Jiujiang. Isn't that a change?"
"What if Prime Minister Lu is killed by Yingbu?" Li Xin asked anxiously.
Ziying and Mo Zhen also looked at each other, waiting for Chen Ping's reply.
