Chapter 933 Countermeasures
"Wow~~"
The quiet court suddenly felt extremely panic, and Qin Shihuang stood up suddenly, "Have you ever found out about this matter clearly, who is the bandit leader?"
"I'm urgently reporting here, please take a look!" Xuanwuwei held up a bamboo tube with both hands.
"Take it quickly!" Qin Shihuang quickly calmed down after a brief shock and anger. The CRRC Mansion ordered Su Yue to run down with a pale face and send the bamboo tube in Xuanwu Guard's hand to the emperor.
The bamboo tube was quickly opened, and a volume of memorials written in hemp pulp paper inside was a handwritten letter from Jiang Heng, the governor of Kuaiji County.
"On August 25, Xiang Liang, the leader of the bandit in Wuzhong, gathered more than 2,000 people to rebel. The bandits were ready to divide enough troops to attack the county magistrate's office. During the melee, the bandits in Zhaodong, the county magistrate, were severely injured by poisonous arrows. Although I found clues, the county magistrate and the police station were properly arranged in advance, but the incident was hasty and the people were in chaos. Although more than 600 bandits were killed, Xiang Liang and others escaped, and more than 1,000 other bandits ran south..."
Jiang Heng wrote this letter in a hurry after Xiang Liang and others retreated, so there was no news about the subsequent matters. In fact, on the way to Xianyang, Xiang Liang had already captured the two counties of Wushang and Taimo, and had fought back and forth with Gao Yi and the Yue people for several consecutive times.
The three southeastern counties behind had already ignited several places, and the entire southeastern area was already in chaos.
Chen Xu, who was dozing off with his eyes closed, was also interrupted by the sudden scream of Xuanwu Guard. His face showed not the panic like other civil and military officials, but a hint of relief.
Damn it, after waiting for two months, Xiang still rebelled.
He pretended to be sick for ten days in order to spread the news that he was about to be seriously injured and died. In addition, the emperor has not returned to Xianyang yet, so once Xiang knew that he might die after being ambushed, he would definitely have some actions. Although Xiang Jing and Shui Qingrou and others did not explain these things clearly, they would definitely not do useless work based on Xiang's attributes.
When the Qinghe Marquis died and the emperor was furious, the world would inevitably be in chaos. Xiang would definitely not let go of this opportunity, because this was their purpose.
Chen Xu knew that the person who ambushed him was the Xiang family, but neither the emperor nor the civil and military officials of the court knew about it.
Although he was the Marquis of Qinghe, he could not deal with the Xiang family for no reason. Even if the Xiang family offended him in Wuzhong, he could not kill him all because of a few quarrels. This did not conform to his identity and status, nor did it meet the current dilemma of the Qin Dynasty. The emperor was very careful in treating the nobles of the six countries. This was not only to appease the people of the six countries, but also to the stability of the Qin Dynasty. As long as there was no rebellion, Qin Shihuang would not touch any nobles, because once a large number of nobles of the six countries were killed for no reason, the world would inevitably fall into fear and chaos. The dilemma of the Qin Dynasty was completely different from the Han Dynasty in later generations. Both the mentality of the civil and military officials and even the royal relatives in the court were constantly involved with the nobles of the six countries, and even the sense of blood identity.
Only by allowing these men to rebel can the emperor have the reason and determination to suppress them strongly.
Xiang's rebellion now is similar to the old lady eating arsenic, because she thinks she has lived enough.
Moreover, the Xiang family created the emperor's rebellion, and the disaster was caused by the Qin Dynasty. This was not Chen Xu's business, it was the emperor's business. Chen Xu had no need to force himself to stand up for the emperor and caused trouble for him, and there was no need to take all the responsibilities on him.
Although the domestic conflicts in the Qin Dynasty are very sharp, Qin Dada is not a second-generation ruler like Hu Hai, nor is it a riot like Zhao Gao. At present, the Qin Dynasty is extremely stable, with strong soldiers and strong horses and sufficient food. Commanders like Meng Tian and Wang Jian, who are like pillars, are all very prosperous, and the people are not forced to rebel. Therefore, no matter who jumps out to rebel, there is only a dead end in Qin Dada's hands.
Therefore, Chen Xu would not have any psychological burden on the Xiang family's rebellion. If Qin Da was panicked and made mistakes, it would be a waste of his reputation as the emperor of the ages.
Sure enough, after reading the urgent report, although Qin Shihuang was furious, he frowned slightly.
The six countries with millions of soldiers were killed one by one by one. A mere Xiang family would never let him panic.
"I will report it urgently with the two prime ministers to watch!" Qin Shihuang stroked his beard and waved his hand. As for Emperor Chen Xu, he ignored it directly. This kind of scum is not worth using Chen Xu, a big killer weapon.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Su Yue quickly gave Jiang Heng's memorial to Li Si. After reading the ten lines at a glance, Li Si passed it to Feng Quji again.
"There are bandits in Wu that rebelled and rebelled. The two prime ministers thought what should we do?"
"Your Majesty, Xiang Liang, the leader of the bandit, but it is not worth panic. What I am worried about is that because of this matter, there will be bandits in the southeastern counties such as Kuaiji, Jiujiang and other southeastern counties. Therefore, the old minister thought that he could quickly spread the vigilance in Xue County, Sishui, Nanyang, Nanjun, and Changsha, and at the same time, he spread the word that the guards of Wuling mobilized soldiers to encircle and eliminate the rebels..." Li Si quickly gave his own answer.
"Li Xiang's words are reasonable, and I also think this is a safe plan. In order not to cause the rebels to gather into great trouble, I think a general and soldiers should be appointed to assist in the suppression. Within a few months, the rebels of Xiang's family will inevitably disappear!" Feng Quji also stood up and said.
"The two prime ministers have appropriate strategies, I will discuss it!" Hundreds of civil and military officials in the entire court stood up almost at the same time to post the two big bosses, and their panic quickly calmed down.
"I also agree with the suggestions of the two prime ministers. The Ministry of War will obey the order!" A slight anger rose in Qin Shihuang's eyes.
"I am here!" Wei Liao bowed his hand.
"According to the two prime ministers' wishes, the orders should be passed down quickly, and the rebellion of the Xiang thief must be quelled within three months!"
"I obey the order!" Wei Liao bowed his hand and took the order and walked out of the court.
"Which general is willing to lead troops to eliminate the rebels?" Qin Shihuang's eyes swept over a group of generals wearing brocade robes.
"I do!"
"I do!"
"I do!"
Tu Sui, Zhao Tuo, Yang Rui and the three generals stood up almost at the same time, and almost all the generals after the three were bowing together.
Qin Shihuang showed a hint of satisfaction and gratitude on his face. At present, the Qin army was full of elite soldiers and generals swept across the six countries. Many of them were still alive. A mere Xiang family and two thousand bandits would send one to take charge of the overall situation.
Qin Shihuang pondered for a moment and said, "Marquis Xiong Shan listened to the order!"
"I'm here!" Tu Sui jumped to the center of the court excitedly.
"Hold my military talisman to the Ministry of War to collect the military letter, and set out in two days. From the four counties of Neishi, Sanchuan, Nanyang and Yingchuan, they mobilized 6,000 troops to Kuaiji to eliminate the rebels, and be sure to capture and kill Xiang Liang, the bandit leader!"
"Abide by the order!" Tu Sui's excited back teeth were almost exposed.
He asked for his order to attack Lingnan, but was bloody when Wei Liao refuted. Lingnan has now been beaten by several criminals and has captured a large area. However, he is still a wooden general in Xianyang, and has nothing to do all day long to spend his time. Now Xiang's rebellion has given him a chance to get promoted and make money.
The six thousand army, together with the soldiers and generals from the counties and the five passes of Lingnan, fought together, and a mere 2,000 rebels were simply to make contributions to him.
Chen Xu did not react much to Xiang Liang's rebellion, but when he saw that the emperor actually sent Tu Sui to suppress Xiang, he felt a little inexplicably frightened.
I'm afraid this guy will die at Xiang Liang's hands.
Because the development of the Qin Dynasty was now twisted and almost distorted under his push, but some things still died like a centipede worm without being stiff, and desperately twisted to move closer to the history of later generations. Tu Sui was indeed good. He made great contributions to the Qin Dynasty's capture of Lingnan in later generations, leading 500,000 troops to capture most areas in Lingnan for four years, but in the end he died under the sneak attack of the Yue people, which also wiped out the 500,000 troops. At this point, the Qin State's vitality was greatly damaged.
Now Tu Sui has no chance to conquer Yue clan, but he has to face an opponent who is more powerful than Yue clan. Although Xiang Liang has fewer people, Xiang clans are all from generals. In addition, there are also generals like Long Qi and Zhonglimei who are not as famous as Peng Yue and Han Xin. Moreover, half a month after Xiang Liang started his army, Xiang clan has only two thousand people and has to make a big question mark. Moreover, according to the force value, Tu Sui and Xiang Liang are far apart, and they are not of the same level at all. If you are negligent, you might lose your life.
However, Chen Xu is not easy to get involved in this matter at the moment. The emperor did not ask about military issues. Moreover, he would probably be hated by Tu Sui if he blocked Tu Sui's troops.
In the following time, the emperor issued several orders, mainly to ask the three provinces and six ministries to issue orders to the southern counties to cooperate in the allocation of civil servants and food and grass.
Half an hour later, the court dispersed, and all the officials returned to the office of the office.
Because of the Xiang family's rebellion, the matter of enfeoffing a young man to guard the Yuezhi was dragged down. However, the Yuezhi was under control at present. When the officials assigned by the court and the leaders of the subjugated tribes returned to the Yuezhi, and Li Xin also led a large army to station in the Yuezhi royal court, there would be no problem with the stability of the Yuezhi.
After the emperor dispersed the court, the Ministry of War held the army and listened to Wei Liao's military planning and deployment and did not express any objection. After returning to the palace, he sat down in the Zichen Palace to continue thinking about the matter of ceasing. A guard came to report that the Hou of Qinghe requested to visit the palace.
"Please!" Qin Shihuang was stunned for a moment.
Soon Chen Xu followed the two eunuchs in, and the king and his minister sat down after a greeting.
"What's the point of your life suddenly entering the palace?" Qin Shihuang spoke after taking a few sips of hot tea.
"Your Majesty, I entered the palace today to talk about Xiang's rebellion!" Chen Xu bowed.
"I have a mere rebel, so I don't need to worry. Besides, I have not fully recovered from my arrow injury. I should rest in the mansion well. This matter is not worth my hard work. There are enough officials from the three provinces and six ministries!" The First Emperor shook his head in a little surprised.
"Although the number of thieves is not worth mentioning, can Your Majesty know who the bandit leader Xiang Liang is?" Chen Xu felt that his worries still had some truth, so after the court was dispersed for a long time, he decided to remind the emperor.
Chapter completed!
