Qin Shi: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

Chapter 499
There were many words in the edict, but Yang Ming finally focused his attention on two of them, Prime Minister Zuo and Jun Dong.

That's all for Prime Minister Zuo, it's just a military general transferred to a civil servant. Such a thing is not unusual in this era, but this Dongjun?However, Yang Ming sensed the full malice from Qin Wangzheng.

What is Dongjun?When enshrining a king, the fiefdom is often used as the title, such as Wu'an Jun, but what is this Dongjun?In the territory of Qin State, is there a county named Dong?Moreover, Concubine Yan's title in Yin Yang's family is Dongjun, but Qin Wangzheng named Yang Ming as Qin's Dongjun. Isn't this blatant malice?
"Congratulations, Prime Minister." In the hall, Yang Ming accepted the edict together with the generals under his command. Naturally, they also knew the contents. It was a happy event for a general to become a prime minister. The voices came and went.

"It's worthy of congratulations, but..." Yang Ming said, looking at several battalion lieutenants of the Tiger Guards Imperial Army, and said, "Everyone is about to return to Xianyang, and it may not be difficult to fight side by side in the future."

As Yang Ming's voice fell, the entire hall was silent. In that edict, although a large part of the chapter was a compliment to Yang Ming, there was also a hidden edge in it. It's just that the Huwei Imperial Army was transferred back to Xianyang, and the inside story of it has a lot to say.

The Dragon and Tiger Forbidden Army, the Dragon Rider Forbidden Army is the main cavalry, and the Tiger Guard Forbidden Army is the main step. The combination of infantry and cavalry is the root of the Dragon and Tiger Forbidden Army. But now the Tiger Guards are being transferred back to Xianyang. Such things are undoubtedly weakening the Tiger Guards. The combat power of the imperial army, but the soldiers and horses of the state of Qin belong to Qin Wangzheng after all, even the Dragon and Tiger Forbidden Army. Even Yang Ming can't say a myth about Qin Wangzheng's transfer order.

"Prime Minister!" The eyes of the school lieutenants of the Tiger Guard Imperial Army flickered, and they all wanted to say something. Although the Tiger Guard Imperial Army was invincible, a large part of the reason was because of Yang Ming. Xianyang, such a thing...

For a moment, the entire hall was silent. Although everyone had different thoughts, they all thought of a lot. After looking at each other, they all turned into silence in the end.

"However, this is also a good thing. If the Tiger Guards can form an army alone, your military ranks can also be promoted. If you have been under my command, I'm afraid I won't make room for you." Yang Ming said frankly With a smile, the silent atmosphere in the hall was resolved.

Starting with Yang Ming, the atmosphere in the hall returned to its proper atmosphere. After all, under the leadership of Yang Ming, they even destroyed the two countries of Zhao and Yan. With such illustrious military achievements, Yang Ming has already conferred the title of king and minister. where are they?

As soon as they thought of the generous reward they were about to receive, the dissatisfaction caused by the transfer naturally disappeared. After all, the Dragon and Tiger Forbidden Army is still the army of the Qin State. To them, Qin Wangzheng is not only the Qin King, but also the clan The leader, in terms of loyalty, naturally there is no problem at all.

In the noisy hall, there was a festive atmosphere, until the "good news" came again from the front line.

After Jicheng was captured, Yan Wangxi fled all the way to the north, and the Qin army pursued him. It has been so many days now, Yan Wangxi seems to have escaped from the Qin army's interception and pursuit, but the good news now?

"Master Guard, Li Xiaowei hastily killed Yan Wangxi for eight hundred miles, and finally captured Yan Wangxi, Yan Chunjun, General Yan Yi and others in Liaodong. Now, the country of Yan is completely destroyed." The soldier sent by Li Xin said to Yang Ming with a smile on his face. He was also one of Li Xin's light cavalry who chased King Xi of Yan, and captured King Xi of Yan and all the dignitaries of the country of Yan. Among the military merits, there is also a share that belongs to him.

But, why is the guard's response so indifferent?The soldier kneeling on one knee to give a military salute quietly raised his head, glanced at Yang Ming, and then quickly lowered his head. On Yang Ming's face, he did not see joy, but only calmness, but this The calmness only made him feel a sense of trepidation.

"Li Xin?" Yang Ming looked at the "good news" presented by the soldiers in his hands, and felt a little more angry. This Li Xin is really hard to change, and he ordered before that he only needs to intercept Yan Wangxi. The goods of those who fled are enough, there is no need to arrest Yan Wangxi and others, and let them escape into the land of Liaodong.

Because at present, Qin has no more energy to attack Liaodong, which is thousands of miles from east to west, sparsely populated, and has a harsh climate. However, it is necessary to maintain a stable and reliable force in Liaodong, because in the north of Liaodong, there are a large number of people. Hu people, if Yan's ruling system collapses in Liaodong, and Qin fails to fill the vacancy in time, the land of Liaodong will become a hunting ground for Hu people.

Therefore, Yang Ming deliberately allowed Yan Wangxi and others to escape into Liaodong, and sent troops to Liaodong when Qin State completely digested the land of Yanzhao. But now, with Li Xin's self-assertion, Yang Ming's original plan has changed. , Yan Wangxi and others were captured, and a power gap had already appeared in the land of Liaodong. The Qin army had to fill this gap, but it involved Yang Ming's greater energy.

Li Xin, who is greedy for merit, is simply the black sheep. It seems that he has not learned a lesson from his failure at the Great Wall in the South last year. Li Xin's biggest shortcoming is not self-control, but greed for merit is his biggest shortcoming. , useless.

"I know, order Li Xin to personally lead the army to send Yan Wangxi and others to Xianyang. If you want to reward them for meritorious service, the king will certainly not treat you badly." Yang Ming said.

But in his heart, Li Xin has already been sentenced to death. In his army, there will never be another person named Li Xin in the future. As for whether Qin Wangzheng and Wang Jian will use him, it is not up to Yang Ming to control him. thing.

Hearing Yang Ming's words, the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, and then burst into ecstasy. This time the military merits are gone, and getting rich is inevitable.

After the soldiers retreated, Yang Ming couldn't help but think of Li Mu. If there is anyone who is most suitable to fill the power gap in Liaodong at this time, it is only Li Mu. Li Mu was in charge of Zhao's northern border, and he was not only good at fighting. It was the military and government that took the lead. Whether it was dealing with government affairs, foreign wars, or dealing with ethnic issues, Li Mu was quite good at it. However, they were willing to send Li Mu and his Zhao soldiers to the bitter cold land of Liaodong. ?

Yang Ming thought about it, and for a while suppressed this idea in his heart. If Li Mu was to guard Liaodong, he would have to do some manipulations.

After a celebration banquet, according to the imperial edict of Qin Wangzheng, the Qin army began to move out one after another. It is already the middle of September. Winter in Yandi is not a good season. It is not unreasonable that Yandi is now called a place of bitter cold by the world.

After the army retreated, Yang Ming also started to set up Prime Minister Zuo's Mansion. As for the mansion, Yang Ming naturally occupied the mansion of Lord Yanchun. He could not live in Yanwang Palace, but Lord Yanchun's mansion, Yang Ming He doesn't care about occupying it, Yan country has been conquered by him, can't he enjoy it?

Moreover, Lord Yanchun's mansion is indeed quite good. As the notorious official of the Yan Kingdom, Lord Yanchun's wealth is quite huge, and he is also addicted to pleasure, so he built this mansion extremely luxuriously, although it is not as grand as Yanwang Palace , but it also occupies an entire street. In terms of exquisiteness, it is even worse than Yanwang Palace.

On September 16th, the [-]th year of Qin Wangzheng, Li Mu was led his troops back to Jicheng, and was immediately invited into the prime minister's mansion.

"This time General Li drove straight in, cut off Yanshan Mountain, and left all the essence of Yanguo in the south of Yanshan Mountain. I have already given credit to the King for this achievement, and the reward will come soon." Yang Mingdao who invited Li Mu into the study.

"A reward from the King of Qin?" Li Mu frowned. He still couldn't adapt to the change of role for a while.

"Rewards and punishments are what should be done. General Li doesn't have to worry about it. Now that the food in Yan State treasury is being sent to Zhao land in a steady stream, General Li has not sorry Zhao State." Yang Ming said.

"It seems that I can only comfort myself in this way." Li Mu said, now he can only find a reason for himself that is barely a reason.

"What does General Li think about the Liaodong incident?" Yang Ming said bluntly.

"Liaodong?" Seeing Li Mu asking himself, Li Mu was also very helpless. Li Xin intercepted and killed Yan Wangxi without authorization. He knew it, but he couldn't stop it. How about it.

For Li Xin who was determined to go his own way, Li Mu was also very helpless.

"In the land of Liaodong, there are more than [-] Yan people and [-] troops. The country of Yan is dead, and King Xi of Yan has been captured again. There has been a power gap in Liaodong. The prime minister must take over Liaodong as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the Hu people go south, the land of Liaodong It is very likely that it will be owned by Qin." Li Mu said.

"General Li is right, it's just that Liaodong has a vast territory and few people, and we have to face the threat of the barbarians, so we must be cautious about who to guard Liaodong." Yang Ming said.

It was Li Mu's silence that responded to Yang Ming. Yang Ming had already talked about this point. How could Li Mu not understand Yang Ming's intention to let him attack Liaodong and go out of Liaodong? He didn't want to go to Liaodong, not only because of Liaodong. It was a truly bitter and cold place, and it was because he really didn't have much interest in serving Qin.

He was willing to attack Yan State before, on the one hand because of Yang Ming's favor, and on the other hand, attacking Yan State could indeed solve the current dilemma Zhao people are facing, but there is no such reason for the Liaodong matter.

It's just that Li Mu still underestimated Yang Ming's determination. Yang Ming had already made a decision on the Liaodong matter, so how could Li Mu have a reason to refuse? The reason for asking so politely was just to make things easier. Just a little better.

So when Li Mu walked into the Prime Minister's Mansion, his whereabouts were no longer up to him to decide.
