[Comprehensive] Cannon fodder, do you want to counterattack?

Qin Ge finally arrived at Nan'an Teahouse this time without any guidance, and took Han Pu directly to the private room on the second floor.

The private room was very delicately furnished with Jiangnan charm, the clerk brought in a pot of tea, closed the door for him and went out.The two chatted for a while, the door was pushed open again, Qin Ge looked up, and was taken aback for a moment.

The visitor was dressed in Tsing Yi, about fifty years old, tall and strong, with piercing eyes, but his temples were covered with frost, and his face could not hide the weathered look.The man's expression was agitated, and he prostrated himself on the ground as soon as he entered the door, his voice trembling and choking: "The old servant has even met the young master before, but he is an old slave who is incompetent, and made the young master suffer so much..."

It is old tears.

Qin Ge also had a slightly sore nose, bent over to help him up, and said softly, "I remember that Uncle Lian led the caravan to Qidu? Why..."

Lian Heng got up and wiped his tears and said: "At that time, the old servant was in Qidu. After receiving the news, he immediately half-sold and half-sold the goods in his hand to a Qi merchant, and rushed over overnight. But at that time, young master He has been imprisoned in the palace. The old slave has been active for a long time, and only then did a few ministers agree to persuade the King of Qin to release him. Who knows that before the letter is approved, you will..."

He paused, and said: "This time, no matter how much money the old slave gave, no one dared to speak up. The old slave really had no choice but to buy a bunch of desperadoes to rob the prisoners. Come out, otherwise..." I also know that robbing prisoners in the capital of Qin is the end of a narrow escape.

Qin Ge led him to sit down, poured him a cup of tea, and said, "Uncle Lian has worked hard, it's my fault for making Uncle Lian work so hard."

Lian Heng hurriedly got up and said he dared not.

Qin Ge sat him down and said: "Uncle Lian, don't do this. I have no father or mother since I was a child. From childhood to adulthood, only Uncle Lian has cared for me the most. I also sincerely respect Uncle Lian as an elder."

Lian Heng sighed, and said: "Young master thinks highly of this old slave, and this old slave also tells you something from his heart. This time, young master, he is really stupid! Those people who get married are not worth it at all!"

Qin Ge smiled wryly, why didn't he know that getting married was not worth it, but at that time, the people who got married forced him, the imperial decree of the King of Chu forced him, and the second prince Yi An, whom he had secretly admired for a long time, came with him. When my mind was in a mess, I responded.

His father, Cheng Han, was the wife of the married family and was not recognized. When Cheng Han was three months old, his mother was seriously ill and knelt and died outside the married family's door in her arms. Only the married family had to let him in.Because on the one hand, he despises his identity, and on the other hand, he hates his mother for ruining the family's reputation. After Cheng Han joined the family, his life was worse than that of a decent servant.

The same son of the married family, Cheng Han is talented and has a long-term memory. He should have a bright future, but the married family said that he was born in a low family, so he was not allowed to take the imperial examination and let him take care of common affairs.Cheng Han is indeed a talent. After taking over the family business, he doubled the wealth of the family within a few years.It's a pity that the married family was not grateful, but felt that they had rewarded him with a bite of food, squandering the money he earned, and looking down on him at the same time.

When Qin Ge was born, Cheng Han was doing business in other places and couldn't make it back in time. Qin Ge's mother had a cold during confinement, and the married family refused to invite a doctor because of the bad luck of the big festival. In the end, she went alone up.

When Cheng Han returned to the mansion and learned of this, he took Qin Ge who was just full moon and left the married family to set up his own house in a fit of anger. He also took away a large number of shopkeepers and buddies.The married family has been accustomed to Cheng's extravagance over the years. Once he left, the married family's business plummeted. Seeing that it was getting worse day by day, they suddenly became anxious again.

After all, the businessman's status is low, Cheng Han can ignore himself, but he can't ignore Qin Ge's future, after suffering them for a while, he takes Qin Ge back to Lian's house, and forces them to remember Qin Ge as a direct descendant.

Later, although Cheng Han still helped his family manage the business, he no longer put so much effort into raising his only son, Qin Ge, and earning private money for his son. Finally, when Qin Ge was 11 years old, he passed away.

"Forget it, don't mention this," Lian Heng consciously lost his composure, wiped away his tears, cheered up and said, "Master, this old slave has already arranged a way out, and you will come back in three days, and then this old slave will send you back to Chu. "

Qin Ge shook her head and said, "Now is not the time."

Lian Heng's voice raised slightly: "Master!" He obviously disapproved of Qin Ge's waywardness.

Qin Ge smiled reassuringly, and said: "Of course I want to go back, but I can't go away in such a sneaky way." If he just left, Qin Yue only needs one order, and he can only live like a mouse in the gutter wherever he goes. boring?

Lian Heng stomped anxiously: "But son, King Qin... how could he let you go?"

Qin Ge smiled lightly and said, "I don't need him to let go either."

Lian Heng was stunned: "The King of Qin won't let go, how can he leave in an open and aboveboard manner?"

Qin Ge glanced at Han Pu, and Han Pu, who was sitting there watching the fun, had no choice but to go out to guard the gate in dismay.

Only then did Qin Ge say: "I came here today because I wanted them to inform Uncle Lian that you should come over. Since you are here, it would be the best."

Lian Heng knew that Qin Ge was going to talk about something serious, so he said solemnly: "My lord, please give me instructions."

Qin Ge hummed, and asked: "Uncle Lian travels between countries all the year round. I don't know if there is anyone from Qi who he recognizes in Qin Capital at this moment? It's better to be someone from Qi who has some weight."

"Yes," Lian Heng nodded and said, "I came to Qindu this time to walk with a few Qi merchants. They have a strong background in Daqi. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't be able to pass through the Qi state so quickly. .”

Qin Ge's eyes flickered slightly: "Did Uncle Lian come with the Qi people? Did they take the initiative to accompany you, or was it your request, Uncle Lian?"

Lian Heng said: "The old slave was in a hurry to see the young master, so why would he be troublesome? Naturally, they took the initiative."

Qin Ge smiled slightly, and said: "That would be the best. Among these Qi merchants, there should be someone who intentionally or unintentionally inquired about the West Qin from you, Uncle Lian, right?"

In this era, businessmen often only focus on one route. People like Lian Heng who are well-informed and familiar with any country are rare. If anyone wants to inquire about information, it is best to find him.

Lian Heng was surprised and said: "Young Master, how can you even think of this? But this old slave has been traveling all over the world for many years, and knows what to say and what not to say. Although he asked, I evaded it."

Qin Ge smiled and said: "Then Uncle Lian might as well get drunk one day and meet him again. There are some things you can't say when you are sober, but it's okay to say it when you're drunk."

Lian Heng immediately understood what he meant, and said sternly: "Young master, please tell me."

Qin Ge said: "As far as the West Qin is concerned, what does he ask and what do you answer... Even if you don't ask, you can talk about anything interesting. Most importantly, there are a few small things that I want to tell him. This time The grain merchants from the south had reaped a lot, and they sold more than a dozen carts of grain within a few days, and the price was not bad; the money for the cloth that the Western Qin court bought last year to make winter clothes for soldiers has not been paid off yet. Qin Du has been waiting for a few months, and he is so anxious that he is about to jump into the river; Han is full of bandits, and the caravans are afraid to pass by recently..."

Lian Heng nodded, and said: "There are all these things. Grain merchants, cloth merchants, and merchants who were robbed in Handi, I can even name them! The old slave also knows some similar to this, and also Want to talk?"

Qin Ge hummed, and said: "When he asks, just bring it up, don't say too much deliberately."

"The old slave will save it."

Qin Ge continued: "Don't forget to say one last drunken sentence: It is said that King Qin is brave, how could he be hurt by a scholar who has no strength to restrain a chicken? This King Qin is too easy to kill, right? Fortunately, King Qin is fine, otherwise This Great Qin is over..."

Lian Heng's scalp tingled when he heard it: "My lord, are you going to..."

"Uncle Lian's guess is right," Qin Ge said with a slight smile, "I just want Qin and Qi to fight, and Qi people to assassinate Qin."

Lian Heng's heart was pounding, he swallowed his saliva, and said dryly, "Well, then what?"

Qin Ge is very satisfied with Lian Heng's performance. The loyal servant left to him by his father has a little lack of strategy, but his execution ability is extremely high. Anyone who nods in response, no matter how difficult the task is, can do it the fastest. The best finish.

"After this incident, Uncle Lian will leave the capital of Qin first, so as not to get involved in this turmoil, and come back a month later." Qin Ge said: "If they succeed in the assassination, Great Qin will be in chaos, and there will be no one in charge for the time being. After a bit of planning, it is expected that they will be able to leave openly. If not, when Northern Qi invades the Central Plains, because the King of Qin is dead, Da Qin will inevitably be unable to resist in a hurry, but their foundation is still there. After shrinking the defense line, they should be able to stabilize the situation. After that, Qin If Qi and Qi confront each other in the Central Plains, the weight of Southern Chu will increase, and at that time, it should not be difficult to seek to return to Chu."

Lian Heng nodded, as long as Qin Yue died, who would insist on keeping a proton servant?He asked again: "What if it fails?"

"If the assassination fails, war between the two countries is inevitable. Western Qin has been fighting every year for the past ten years, and has already emptied the treasury. Now it is stretched. If there are no variables, they will lose this battle before they fight, unless the King of Qin agrees. Take the initiative to give up large areas of land in Han and Wei, and concentrate your troops to fight against the enemy." Qin Ge paused, and then continued: "One of the disadvantages of Daqin is the lack of food and grass. I remember that my father has been hoarding food and horses deliberately. I have saved a lot, and Jieshi took a little to redeem it from the King of Qin to buy it for me—if Qin Yue doesn't want to take it seriously, he has no choice but to agree."

Lian Heng nodded again and again, his eyes lit up: "Old servant understands!"

"Besides that, there is one more thing that Uncle Lian needs to do." Qin Ge said, "Please Uncle Lian mobilize his staff to help me find someone."

"Who are you looking for?"

After pondering for a while, Qin Ge said slowly: "This man's surname is Liu, and he likes to call himself Liu Lang. He has a handsome and romantic life, and he likes to stay in the Qinlou Chuguan Opera Garden the most. He loves to compose music and play the piano for brothel girls, and loves to write plays for actors." , when he is happy, he will go on stage and sing a few words... He likes to be lively, you just go to find him in the busiest city."

"What happens after you find it?"

Qin Ge smiled slightly, and said, "Ask him for me when you find it. Do you still remember the appointment with Changhu? Now that I have written a big play, ask him if he dares to come and sing."

Lian Heng said: "The old slave understands."

After finishing their business, the two chatted for a few more words, leaving behind a large bag of gold, silver and jade, and then reluctantly left.

Qin Ge sent him to the door of the private room, closed the door and sat down, Han Pu pushed the door open and said, "Qin Ge, even if the Qin-Qi war is inevitable, you don't need to add another fire, right?"

Qin Ge said: "I not only lit a fire, but also poured a basin of water, why didn't you see it?"

Suddenly, Han Pu asked, "You mean assassination?"

Qin Ge hummed.If you don't use hard facts, how can you let them know that these aliens they look down on actually regard them as fat in their mouths?

Han Pu said: "But if they go to war directly, what if they don't assassinate?"

"No," Qin Ge said: "As long as the people of Qi believe that Da Qin is now strong outside the country, and the war between the two countries is inevitable, then the assassination of King Qin will become inevitable, because the benefits are too high and the risks are too small - if the assassination is successful The Qin State was in chaos, and the people of Qi could drive straight in and capture most of the Central Plains in one fell swoop. If the assassination failed, the consequence would be nothing more than a war. Anyway, they were ready to fight, right? And the King Qin’s wedding is imminent, and the best opportunity is right in front of them. Even if they guessed There may be traps, and the huge benefits that may be brought about by the death of the King of Qin cannot be resisted. When the Qi people fail to assassinate and the Qin people react, they will block the news to delay time and mobilize troops to avoid rushing to the battle. At least not at the beginning Is it a complete failure?"

Although he doesn't like Great Qin, he doesn't like Qi people even more. If the two countries confront each other, Qi has too much advantage and turns around to destroy Chu—if Chu's demise is inevitable, he would rather destroy Chu. Since Shaochu people came to Qin State, they were still people, not livestock.

Han Pu nodded.

Qin Ge said: "Don't be idle these few days. Didn't I say that there is a person in Qi who can control Wang Meng in the capital of Qin? It must be arranged personally. Only when he moves can he be found out, you help me keep an eye on him, I am very curious about this person... eh? What do you want to say?"

Han Pu said: "Have you ever thought about what to do if they succeed in the assassination? Let me tell you first, I will never protect Qin Yue or tip off the news!"

Qin Ge lowered his head to drink tea, and said lightly: "If he succeeds, then Qin Yue is incompetent, and he deserves to die. What does it have to do with you and me?"

Han Pu stared at him and said after a while, "Why do I think this is your real purpose?"

Qin Ge shrugged: "It's okay for you to think so."

Han Pu was speechless.
