Chapter 528
The charcoal fire in the brazier is burning vigorously, baking the entire warm room warms up. If you stay in it for a long time, you will feel drowsy.
However, Bai Mo and Chen Ping, who were sitting opposite each other on the short couch, were sleepless.
"Prime Minister, Yafu has led his army to cross the river. Calculate the time. Now he should have arrived at the Lixia. In addition, the 30,000 army of Xiang Zheng, the prince of Chu, has also been killed in Lu County. The 20,000 army of Crown Yan, the prince of Yan, has also crossed the sea. The troops have arrived at the Mi County of Jiaodong County. The Qi State will definitely be finished this time."
"If Han He dares to proclaim himself emperor, he should have the awareness of becoming a public enemy." Bai Mo's expression was cold.
Today, the two hegemons of Chu and Han coexisted, forming a fragile balance, but no matter how fragile the balance was, it was order. Han He's rash proclaiming emperor completely broke this balance. Not only did Chu State unable to tolerate Han He's behavior, but Han State also could not tolerate it, so the most severe punishment must be given.
Chen Ping said again: "The current problem, what should I do after destroying Qi?"
"The State of Qi has five counties, Linzi, Jibei, Jiaodong, Xue County and Langya. After destroying Qi, they will each get one county in the five counties. This is the principle, and there is nothing to say!" Bai Mo knocked on the table and said softly, "However, no matter which county the Han Dynasty occupied, it will be an enclave far away from Guanzhong. Once something happens, it will be difficult to defend."
"Yes." Chen Ping nodded repeatedly, "This is what I am worried about."
"So, I have an immature idea, and I want to discuss it with the Grand Tutor." Bai Mo pondered and said, "Can I combine the three counties divided by Han, Han and Zhao from Qi to establish another country in the name of the King of Han? In this way, the Lianheng Alliance can add another member state, and the attack on Chu will be even more powerful."
Chen Ping's eyes lit up in an instant, and he praised: "Wonderful, wonderful, this plan is very wonderful!"
Bai Mo smiled and waved his hand, and said, "However, if you want to convince King Han, it will probably not be easy for King Zhao to give up the land in a county. We may have to pay a considerable price. Also, it is also a question for whom is the King of Qi." Bai Mo said, looking at Chen Ping and asked, "But I don't know if there is a suitable candidate for the Grand Tutor?"
When Chen Ping heard this, his heart moved slightly, and he looked back at Bai Mo with his eyes.
If you want to talk about the right candidate, there is really one who is either someone else, or Lu Tai, the Grand Marshal of the Han Dynasty!
In terms of merit, the Lu family should have been crowned kings as early as the generation of Lu Ze. However, because the Lu family was too powerful at that time, the previous king was worried about the authority and royal power of the foreign relatives, so he was not enthroned for a long time. Later, Empress Lu planned to assassinate, and Lu Ze died to save the previous king. The Lu family's power was purged for the first time. The Lu family's enthronement was left unresolved.
After that, the previous king died, and Bai Mo Daquan carried out a second round of purges on the Lu family forces.
Not long ago, Bai Mo carried out the third round of purge of the Lu family. Lu Shizhi was executed, and Lu Tai was also imprisoned. The Lu family's power in Guanzhong was almost uprooted. However, Lu Tai was Lu Tai after all, as long as he was still alive. For the Han Dynasty, it was always a huge hidden danger for Bai Mo. If Lu could be enfeoffed, it would be a good choice.
Lu Tai has a high prestige and excellent ability. If he is the King of Qi, he should be able to quickly stabilize the situation!
However, it is not just a benefit. Since the death of the previous king, Bai Mo has purged the Lu family twice, and not long ago, even Lu Shizhi was killed. It is said that he has a deep resentment. If Lu Tai really named Lu Tai as King of Qi, would Lu Tai turn to Chu? If Lu Tai really turns to Chu and join the Hezong Alliance, then Han would shoot himself in the foot.
Bai Mo knew that Chen Ping had guessed this candidate, so he asked with a smile: "Master, can it be?"
Chen Ping pondered: "If you want to say that Lu Tai is really the best candidate for the King of Qi, but the problem is..."
"Don't worry about this Grand Master." Bai Mo waved his hand and said calmly, "Although the original minister and the Lu family have deep grudges, it will never affect the choice between the two alliances of Lianheng and Lu Zong after Lu Tai becomes the King of Qi. Because Lu Tai knows very well that only when Qi joins the Lianheng Alliance, the throne of their Lu family can continue to continue."
"Well, it's not bad." Chen Ping nodded, "Lu Tai is a smart man. Xiang Zhuang enfeoffed the King of Wei. The tricks of King Bei Diao can be hidden from others, but they will definitely not be able to hide from him." After thinking about it, Chen Ping said again, "But Prime Minister, do you take some time to have a good talk with him? Not seeking to resolve grudges will at least be beneficial to the cooperation between the two countries in the future, right?"
"That's right." Bai Mo nodded, "Let's go to the Taiwei Mansion and have a good talk with him."
Chen Ping turned his eyes and asked Bai Mo: "Prime Minister, the previous agreement with Chu seems to be that Chu has Xue County and Yan has Langya County. The three counties in the north belong to Han, Han and Zhao. This should be the case?"
"No," Bai Mo nodded and said, "Does the Grand Master have any good ideas?"
Chen Ping stroked the willow beards on his chin and said in a dark voice: "Prime Minister, why not sign Lu Tai as King Ju?"
"King Ju? Isn't Ju County in Langye..." Bai Mo was stunned and immediately praised, "Mysterious, this plan of Taishi is very wonderful. He named Lu Tai as King of Ju, which has planted a rift between Ju and Yan. It is impossible for Lu Tai to join Chu and Yan to join forces. Hahaha, Taishi, this ginger is really old."
Chen Ping waved his hand and said, "By the way, there is another thing. Anyi sent a letter saying that a group of bandits on the Taihang Mountains attacked the Yanchi, looted the Feng family's salt field, and set fire to the granary at the entrance of the Yanchi. The Feng family threatened to the outside world that they had hoarded the more than two million stones of grain used to make wine there, and they also burned all the food they had stored there."
"Are you burned more than two million stones of food? Is it still a bandit?" Bai Mo sneered, "Do you believe it?"
"This is simply a trick." Chen Ping said coldly, "Before this group of bandits took action, the more than two million stones of grain stored at the entrance of the Yanchi were secretly transported away by the people of the Ebony Cliff. Although the action of the Ebony Cliff is very secret, it can't be hidden from our Black Ice Platform. Unfortunately, Han Xin was confused by the witch of the Feng family and did not believe it at all."
Bai Mo said in a deep voice: "Taoshi, do you know where that batch of grain was transported?"
Chen Ping nodded and said, "According to the information from the Black Ice Platform, this batch of grain was transported into the depths of the Taihang Mountains, but I believe that there is only a transit there, and the final destination of this batch of grain must be Ao Cang!"
Bai Mo pondered: "Can you send someone to cut off this batch of food? Or burn it in a fire?"
"I'm afraid it won't work." Chen Ping smiled bitterly, "The infiltration of Ebony Cliff to South Korea and Zhao State is extremely serious. When they transported grain from the mouth of Yanchi to Taihang Mountain, I wanted to cut off a batch of grain and arrest them to alert the King of Han, but the Feng and Ebony Cliff made a raid, losing a lot of good players."
"That's all." Bai Mo said helplessly. "The most urgent task is to destroy all the two, and then divide them!" After a pause, Bai Mo said again, "Although Xiang Zhuang agreed to divide all the two and set up the sphere of influence, he did not obediently abide by the agreement. Maybe something will happen. We must prepare for the future and take precautions early."

There was heavy snow in Luoyang. The thick snow covered the messy streets. Xindu finally looked less dirty and messy. The dignitaries, nobles, nobles, nobles and ordinary people who moved to Luoyang also took to the streets, piled up snowmen and played snowball fights. Luoyang had not yet built the arena, and there was a lack of entertainment.
Walking in the snowy suburbs of Luoyang, Xiangzhuang is also in a very good mood.
A group of half-sized children rushed from a distance, and before the Tianlang Guard, who was protecting them, came forward to drive them away, they turned into a nearby woods. Suddenly, a group of birds foraging in the forest were startled and flew into the distance, on the water surface of Luoshui in the distance. Someone was chiseling ice and fishing.
Bailixian Da Lengtian still shook his head and fur fan, saying, "King, Luoyang has regained its vitality."
Xiang Zhuang nodded happily. As the food hidden in the Taihang Mountains was transported to Ao Cang in batches, the food shortage that enveloped the people of Luoyang disappeared. Whether it was a dignitary, nobles, nobles, or ordinary people, there was no need to worry about food, and the monarch could breathe a sigh of relief.
A fast horse galloped from a distance and handed over an urgent letter to Jin Xiang.
Jin Xiang read the letter. Then he went forward to report to Xiang Zhuang: "The prince, the prince has entered Lu County, but the Han, Han and Zhao coalition forces have advanced to Lixia, and the Yan army has also attacked Mi County."
"Haha, okay." Xiang Zhuang smiled. "The State of Qi is in trouble."
Baili Xian also said: "There is a way that the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will urge it. The piles out of the shore, and the current will rush it. With the national strength and military strength of the Great Chu, the king dares to be emperor. Han He dares to be emperor, which is purely seeking death. Now the army of the six countries is advancing together. Unless Han Xin comes alive, the Qi State will be finished."
Bi Shu said: "The question now is, which company will go to Linzi first?"
"Yes." Baili Xian shook his feather fan and thoughtfully, "Going to Linzi first can not only win the Qin King's jade seal, but also gain the upper hand in future negotiations. After all, the division of the five families is just a verbal agreement. Whether it is the Han, Han, Zhao coalition, our Chu army, Yan army, and Northern Diao army, I am afraid that they will not really abide by it."
Xiang Zhuang looked back at Bi Shu and asked, "Learn swordsmanship, do you think the prince can do it?"
This time, the prince led the army to attack Qi, which was highly recommended by Bi Shu. Originally, Xiang Zhuang wanted to use Bi Shu as the general and the prince as the deputy general. To put it bluntly, let the prince follow the experience and experience the battle formation. However, Bi Shu strongly recommended the prince to lead the army, and also recommended another young general, Gao Lang.
Xiang Zhuang was actually not optimistic about the prince Xiang Zheng, but as the teacher who taught the prince's strategy of military strategy, Bi Shu must have a reason since he even recognized the prince, so he responded with a try-and-see attitude. No matter what, cultivating the prince is related to the future of Chu, and it must not be ignored.
Bi Shu smiled and said, "Master, I have confidence in the crown prince."
"Learn the sword, you're auspicious word." Xiang Zhuang raised his hands and looked at the vast snow fields in the northeast direction, and said leisurely, "I hope that boy did not read the Bingshu into his anus."

ps: The updates are unstable these days because the rumor is that the creditors there have sued that the mother-in-law's sister and wife's aunt were implicated and also avoided my house. They said that they should make clear every payment for the years, the reasons for the money in the bank card, including the swordsman's remuneration for the past seven or eight years, so as not to be unclear when the police come to the door, and be regarded as the "dirty money" given by the mother-in-law. They also discussed selling the house to pay off her debts. The family has been in chaos these days, so everyone will forgive me. (To be continued)
