In Qin Dynasty, the hero of the bright moon dominates the world

Chapter 394 Undefeated
Sanchuan County.

The autumn wind is about to rise, and there is a chill in the air.

Standing in the tower, Lu Buwei looked at the fertile fields cut by the water in the distance, but his face was a little melancholy.

"Master Hou!"

A voice came from behind, Lu Buwei turned around, glanced at the visitor, but smiled.

"Sikong Ma, what's the matter?"

There used to be three thousand diners today, and the compilation of "Lu Shi Chunqiu" was so powerful that it shook the world;

Wen Xinhou's court is still full of guests.It's just that they all hear the voices of the six countries in Shandong, but they don't see any guests from Xianyang.

Sikong Ma was originally Lu Buwei's disciple, and he was also one of the few disciples who still followed him to the Henan fief after Lu Buwei dismissed him.

"Master Hou won."

"Is it?"

Lu Buwei stroked his beard, as if he had expected the result.

"The news from the Zhao Kingdom came. Yang Duanhe and Wang Jian joined forces to attack Handan from the north to the south. King Zhao asked for peace and ceded the nine cities of Yedi. In the name of congratulating Qin, he presented [-] war horses as a gift."

"Two thousand war horses!"

Lu Buwei smiled.Sikongma saw it, bent slightly, and bowed his hands.

"That day when tens of thousands of Qin troops entered Ye, all the disciples in the mansion said that the Qin army would be defeated in this battle. Lord Duhou thought that the Qin army would win this battle. Lord Hou predicted things like a god, but I still don't understand why Lord Hou was so sure at the beginning. ?”

You must know that neither the guests of Wenxinhou's mansion nor the visitors from the six kingdoms of Shandong are optimistic about the Qin army's attack on Zhao this time.However, the development of the matter slapped everyone in the face.

"Since the news of Zhao Shuang's envoy to the country of Yan came, the old man has already had a premonition."

"Hanyang Lord Zhao Shuang?"

Sikong Ma spoke slightly, but Lu Buwei murmured.

"After the old man left Xianyang, more than 20 horse farms in Longxi and Beidi belonged to Lord Hanyang. Now that these two thousand war horses have entered Qin Dynasty, I am afraid they will eventually fall into Zhao Shuang's hands."

Sikong Ma followed Lu Buwei, from Xianyang to this point, he naturally knew Zhao Shuang's methods.Once these two thousand war horses enter Qin, it may change the strength of the cavalry between Qin and Zhao.

"King Zhao has brought disaster on his own! But, what about Lord Hou?"

Sikong Ma's words attracted Lu Buwei's attention.

"With your talent, knowledge, and eloquence, you must have seen the current situation clearly. Why do you still follow me, an exiled person?"

There was a bit of self-mockery in Lu Buwei's words.

Ordinary people may only pay attention to the fierceness of this war, the treacherous use of troops by the Qin army, and the changes in the territory of Qin and Zhao. However, Sikong Ma has noticed that this war has changed the internal power structure of Qin.

After King Qin came to power, Lu Buwei was expelled, and the power map of foreign forces quickly disintegrated and was absorbed by all forces.The largest and most essential part of it was only used by the King of Qin, and Li Si, the representative who was once a guest of Lu Buwei, was the best example.

The remaining two most powerful parts are the family power headed by Zhao Shuang and the foreign relatives of the Chu family headed by Lord Changping.

However, the power structure above the court has basically stabilized, but not in the army.

Before King Qin came to power, Qin's army was dominated by generals from all sides.But General Meng Ao has enough prestige and ability to unify the generals.In addition, Lu Buwei has a good relationship with Meng Ao, who was born in Qi, because both of them are foreigners.Therefore, in the past ten years, the Qin army has become stronger and stronger.

With Meng Ao's death, the Meng family took root in Qin and deliberately distanced themselves from Lu Buwei.In addition, although Meng's generals came out in large numbers, it is difficult to find a general who has enough influence to convince all the generals in the Qin army, so the forces in the Qin army are actually divided.

The family forces headed by Zhao Shuang and the foreign relatives of the Chu family headed by Lord Changping were represented in the army by Yang Duanhe's heavy armor army and Fan Yuqi's [-] army.

After King Qin came to power, he began to take over the military power.It's just that the situation in the army is no more complicated than that in the court, and it is related to the foundation of Qin State.

And Wang Jian was King Qin's biggest attempt.He ordered him to lead an army and train soldiers and horses in Shangdang.

It's just that the biggest role of the army is to fight wars after all.And whether he can gain military merit in battle is the most simple standard for evaluating a general.

To some extent, it is difficult to tell who is a good minister in the court; but in the army, in this world of great controversy, it is clear at a glance who is strong and who is weak.

As the war was coming to an end, while Wang Jian became famous all over the world, it also represented that King Qin, who was behind Wang Jian, tightened his military power.

However, this also means that Lu Buwei's influence in the Qin army has been completely eliminated.

In the court, in the army, in the rivers and lakes, when Lu Buwei's power is absorbed by all parties to nothing, can Lu Buwei still be at ease in this fief in the name of Marquis Wenxin?
Lu Buwei had already noticed this, and Sikong Ma could also see it.

"When I was young, I was a small bureaucrat in the state of Qin. I was appreciated by Lord Hou and became a guest. I dare not forget the kindness of knowing you, so let me accompany Lord Hou on the last journey!"

After hearing this, Lu Buwei not only didn't feel bad, but laughed out loud.

"With your knowledge and talent, you can just be a good friend. I, Lu Buwei, have come this far, and there are such people following around, so it's not in vain."

Sikongma lowered his head, but saw Lu Buwei swept away the decadence just now.At this time, instead, there is an inexplicable comfort, as if standing under the stage and watching a play.

"Zhao Shuang and Xiong Qi both hold the military power. It's just that after this battle, Zhao Shuang went one step further, and Xiong Qi's position may be unstable."

Having said that, Lu Buwei turned his head and glanced at Sikong Ma.

"What do you think of Qin's future situation?"

"Mr. Changping's ability is not as good as that of Lord Hou. He can't stand firmly in Qin. As long as the Queen Mother Huayang dies, the Chu family will have no foundation in Qin, and it will decline sooner or later. It's just that the Queen Mother Huayang is old-fashioned. Welcoming Chu women into Qin to extend the foundation of the Chu family."

Lu Buwei nodded.

"Yes, even if Lord Changping is incompetent, the eldest son of King Qin has half of Chu's blood, and the Chu family can still take root in Qin. So, what about Zhao Shuang?"

Sikong Ma smiled and shook his head slightly.

"This Lord Hanyang has not yet reached the age of the crown, but he is quite sophisticated. The family of the Qin Dynasty helped the King of Qin to govern, and there are not a few people who have made great achievements, and Zhao Shuang is one of them. However, he is not like other family heads. He took credit for being arrogant and wanted to expel Ke Qing, but instead took the initiative to distance himself from those patriarchs and maintained a good relationship with the Ke Qing forces. More importantly, he advocated doing business with the Da Yue Clan and attracted many concubines from the aristocratic families. Now he has won a big victory in Ye and gained a firm foothold in the army."

Having said that, Sikong Ma sighed.

"Zhao Shuang moved against the trend, but he was undefeated, and even survived forever. Lord Changping is not his opponent."

Lu Buwei smiled, completely forgetting about his situation, and still had a bit of the demeanor of Daqin Xiangbang pointing out the country.

"Mr. Changping thought that after I fell, his biggest opponent in the court was Zhao Shuang. But in fact, Zhao Shuang just moved according to the situation, but Xiong Qi didn't notice it at all. Xiong Qi walked this road more and more. The farther you are, the faster you will lose. And once Xiong Qi loses and the balance of power is broken, how will Zhao Shuang deal with himself?"

After finishing speaking, Lu Buwei walked forward with his hands behind his hands, and turned around with a cruel smile on his face.

"So, this play is good!"
