Daily Life In Qin Dynasty

Chapter 15 Rebellion

Practice in the morning.

At noon, we went to the kitchen to have a small meal.

In the afternoon, he went to the central military tent to learn Da Qin characters from Meng Ao.

Mo Jun's life suddenly became peaceful.

Thanks to Mr. Mo, after losing this battle, the army led by Meng Ao had almost lost the ability to continue fighting. After all, more than one-third of the vanguard elites died directly.

If there was no assistance from Mr. Mo later, it is estimated that it is not impossible to lose more than half of the elite in this battle.

But because of Mo Jun's "Miracle Rejuvenation", more than 90% of the wounded were successfully treated, so now Meng Ao can still rely on the city wall to organize defense with his remaining combat power.

Once the follow-up reinforcements arrive, it is entirely possible for Meng Ao to fight back again and make meritorious deeds.

Originally a defeat with a clear winner, Mo Jun suddenly saved a glimmer of life. In a way, this time Meng Ao owed Mo Jun a favor.

Therefore.

Only Meng Ao had this attitude towards Mr. Mo.

But after all, the plan could not keep up with the changes. There was no problem with Meng Ao's plan in theory, but things were unpredictable.

Along with a piece of sudden news, the peace in the general camp was instantly broken.

"Chang'an Jun...conspired to rebel!"

Looking at the scouts in front of them, even veterans like Zhang Tang and Meng Ao couldn't help but change their expressions in shock at the news coming at an accelerated speed of eight hundred miles.

Attack Zhao this time.

Meng Ao and Zhang Tang led an army of 50,000 troops to march first, followed by 50,000 troops led by Chang'an Juncheng and Fan Yuqi stationed in Tunliu, ready to provide support at any time.

Before Meng Ao lost the battle with Li Mu, he had sent a message for reinforcements to come for support. However, he never expected that Meng Ao had waited for such a long time and failed to receive reinforcements. Instead, he received news that Lord Chang'an led his army to rebel.

"Why is this? Lord Chang'an is the king's half-brother, and the king treats him well. Why would he rebel?"

Zhang Tang's eyes widened and he couldn't understand.

The current king is young and has only been on the throne for a short period of time, so he is not yet able to control the government.

Above the imperial court, there was Prime Minister Lu who controlled the affairs of the country.

Inside the palace, the queen mother restricted the imperial power.

There were even rumors in the world that there was some improper relationship between Prime Minister Lu and the Queen Mother.

It can be said that the current situation in Xianyang is really weird and full of ups and downs. Under such a situation, Zhang Tang would not be too surprised even if someone did do something rebellious.

But this person shouldn’t be Changan Junchenglong!

The current king has a bad fate, but as the younger brother of the current king, Cheng Yu can be regarded as a rare family relationship for the current king. The two have been close since childhood and often fencing together.

The king also trusted Cheng Xi very much, and even handed over part of the military power to Cheng Xi, which can be said to be a great kindness from the king.

But with such trust, Lord Chang'an betrayed the king without mercy.

"Who knows?"

Compared to Zhang Tang's shock, Meng Ao quickly regained his composure despite his initial shock. He put his hands behind his back and said with a deep look: "Power is a kind of poison, especially if you are born in a place like the royal family, you will be tainted by this poison from an early age."

"Throughout the ages, there have been hundreds of battles over that position. Is there a legitimate reason for each one?"

"Then what should we do next?" Zhang Tang asked.

Meng Ao glanced at him.

what to do?

This is a good question, how do I know what to do?

Although according to the rules, since he knew that someone was rebelling, Meng Ao, as a minister, would naturally send troops to quell the rebellion and safeguard the royal power.

But not to mention that they are still in confrontation with Zhao State. If they send troops to quell the rebellion at this time, what should they do with the three cities they just captured?

What's more, throughout the ages, royal family rebellions have always been decided by the superiors, and the ministers have suffered.

Although this possibility is extremely small, how did Meng Ao know that this time Cheng Yu's rebellion was not due to the brotherly love between him and Ying Zheng?

After all, in the final analysis, most royal rebellions are actually just family affairs of the royal family.

It's just that the impact of this family matter is just a little bit big.

"Mo Jun, what do you think?"

While Meng Ao was deep in thought, his peripheral vision suddenly turned to someone in the corner and asked subconsciously.

Mo Jun, who felt that he had heard some terrible news, was trying to reduce his sense of presence: "······"

"My subordinate is stupid and has no idea at all."

Mo Jun said decisively.

joke.

If you have an opinion on this thing, you can’t say it!

Seeing Mr. Mo's frightened expression, Meng Ao suddenly smiled and said: "You are indeed as smart as a ghost. What you said is absolutely right. We don't need to have any opinions on this matter. We just need to wait quietly for the king's decision." Just give the order.”

After finishing speaking, Meng Ao seemed to have thought of something again, and added: "In addition, Zhang Tang, you are now mobilizing an army to go to Shangdang to strengthen surveillance. There are some things we have to guard against."

Zhang Tang quickly responded: "Yes!"

Xianyang Palace.

The atmosphere in the entire palace was audible. A group of civil servants and generals on both sides of the court were unwilling to make a sound for fear of being angered.

On the throne.

King Qin Yingzheng held a bamboo slip and looked at the news described above. His hands were veined and trembling slightly, and his face was as gloomy as water under his crown.

"You bastard, this is totally unreasonable."

After an unknown amount of time, Ying Zheng slammed the bamboo slips down and said angrily: "I trust this son so much that I gave him the command of an army of 50,000 people. This is how he treats my trust..."

At the end of the sentence, Ying Zheng's voice began to tremble slightly.

As Zhang Tang said before.

The situation in the court is strange now. Even if another person rebels, Ying Zheng may not be so angry. But it happened that the person who rebelled this time turned out to be one of the people he trusted most in Yingzheng.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. The top priority now is to send a large army to quell the rebellion as soon as possible to reduce the impact of this matter."

Naturally, ordinary ministers would not dare to offend the king at this time. After all, even if the current King of Qin is young and has not yet completely settled on the throne, not everyone can offend the authority of the king.

However, the person who spoke out this time was not an ordinary minister, but the current Qin King Zhongfu and the Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty - Lu Buwei.

Hearing Lu Buwei's advice, even if Ying Zheng was furious now, he had to calm down temporarily and listen to the advice.

A moment later.

Ying Zheng, who finally calmed down his anger, said in a deep voice: "Where is Wang Jian?"

A man with a strong build and majestic eyes walked out of the crowd, leaned down and saluted, and said, "Your Majesty, Wang Jian, is waiting for the king's order."

"I ordered you to immediately lead an army of 100,000 people and go to Tunliu to put down the rebellion."

"I obey your order."

"In addition, I will immediately send an order to General Meng Ao to send troops to assist in suppressing the rebellion. We must end the rebellion in the shortest possible time without making any mistakes."
