General Qin

"Instructions are sent to Sishui, Donghai, Jiujiang, Hengshan...the counties to arrest the traitors Xiang Sheng, Xiangzhuang, Xiang Tuo and other members of the Xiang family, and each of them offers a reward of one hundred gold."

"There is a reward of two hundred gold for Xiang Qu's son Xiang Ji."

"We also arrested the Jing clan and wanted the rebel Jing Tong, offering a reward of a thousand gold."

After Zhao Tuo obtained all the information from Xiang Xiang, he immediately issued a wanted warrant with a reward.

After the assassination, the emperor had given Zhao Tuo the overall authority over all matters. It was naturally within his power to arrest and offer rewards for these traitors.

"Although Xiang Xiang knew that Xiang Ji was sent to Jing Tong, he also heard that Jing Tong secretly contacted the survivors of the Six Kingdoms in various places. However, only Xiang Liang and Xiang Juan know the specific locations of these people. No wonder Xiang Liang By committing suicide so simply, this guy wants to save Jing Tong and Xiang Ji with his life."

Zhao Tuo curled his lips.

Jing Tong was the deputy general of Zhao Ping, Xiang Yan, Xiang Qu and others. He himself had personally led troops to fight Zhao Tuo and knew how powerful Zhao Tuo was.

Therefore, Jing Tong's colleagues have always been very secretive. They disappeared directly after the demise of Chu State and only secretly colluded with anti-Qin people from various places. There was a single line of communication between him and the Xiang family. Now that Xiang Liang and Xiang Mao died, this line was directly broken.

The world is so big, and the Qin officials' control in the east is obviously insufficient. Under such circumstances, it is naturally very difficult to catch Jingtong and others.

"Unless this guy received the news of Xiang Liang's rebellion and immediately raised the flag in response to expose himself."

Zhao Tuo had a trace of fantasy in his heart.

The next day, news did come from the counties to the east and south of Xiang Liang that someone was raising flags in response to Xiang Liang, but it was not the Jingtong that Zhao Tuo expected.

"The Shen family of Tong County, the Xu family of Xu County raised flags to respond to Xiang Liang, and there was also Ge ​​Ying, a Fuli man, who summoned local light knights to rebel. Oh, this one has been wiped out."

Zhao Tuo looked at the intelligence from various places in his hands, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Qin destroyed the six kingdoms, and the former nobles of the six kingdoms, as losers, naturally complained a lot.

Some of them were seduced by Xiang Liang's propaganda language. When they heard that the emperor had been killed and Xiang raised the flag, it was normal for them to be filled with passion and get carried away.

In Zhao Tuo's view, the so-called Shen family and Xu family were local clans that could not get on the stage. Although they took advantage of Zhao Guang's mobilization of county soldiers and the weak defense forces in various counties and cities to raise flags to rebel, they were actually just bones in the graves and could not make any big waves.

As for that Fuli man Ge Ying, it's even more funny.

It is said that this Ge Ying was an official of the Chu army in the past. After the fall of Chu, he became a fisherman and made a living by fishing. When I heard about Xiang Liang's rebellion two days ago, I became enthusiastic and contacted Fu Li, a former light knight, hoping to raise a flag to rebel and respond to Xiang Liang.

As a result, many of Fuli's local light knights had been recruited to fight the barbarians outside the Great Wall. They made great contributions to Zhao Tuo and were promoted to nobles.

After these people were promoted to nobility, they were assigned land and had the privileges of the nobility. They had been assimilated into the Qin State's military merit system. They had families, property, and houses, so naturally they could not follow Ge Ying to rebel.

Someone even reported secretly, and soon after Ge Ying summoned the young knights who wanted to rebel, he was brought to a boil by the county magistrate.

How could a group of light knights who had lost their weapons long ago be a match for the heavily armed county soldiers? These rebellious thieves were all killed. The leader of the thieves, Ge Ying, tried to escape, but was eventually shot with a crossbow and his head was chopped off. This is enclosed with the letter.

"This Ge Ying seems to be Zhuge Liang's ancestor, right?

Zhao Tuo felt that the name was very familiar. He thought of a piece of side knowledge and couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity that there is no more Kong Ming in the world."

Soon, Zhao Tuo ordered: "The heads of Ge Ying, Xiang Liang, and Xiang Juan will be sent to the Prime Minister to shock the head of Guizhou, and then sent back to Pengcheng."

"In addition, all the old and weak of the Xiang family will be counted and imprisoned, waiting for the emperor's order before dealing with them. I will personally escort Xiang Xiang and other serious offenders back to Pengcheng."

After wiping out the Xiang family, Zhao Tuo no longer wanted to stay with the Prime Minister, and his whole heart drifted to the emperor in Pengcheng.

Although the cavalry general Zhonglang who came with the cavalry to support said that the emperor's injuries were not serious, Zhao Tuo had seen the emperor bleeding and pale with his own eyes, so how could he feel relieved.

Zhao Tuo left the matter of suppressing the rebellion in Tongxian and Xuxian counties to Zhao Guang to lead the county soldiers. He himself, together with the 500 Lang cavalry and the 200 Lang guards who came to support, escorted Xiang Xiang and other heavy criminals. Rush back to Pengcheng.

Xiaxiang is more than two hundred miles away from Pengcheng. If you travel on foot, it will take several days.

Fortunately, Zhao Tuo led the Langwei cavalry, and Xiang Xiang and other serious criminals were escorted by carriages, so they could reach Pengcheng within two days.

On the way, Zhonglang Cavalry General Feng Jing expressed his admiration for Zhao Tuo.

"Previously, the emperor ordered the prince to take charge of capturing the assassins. After the prince was ordered, he led his troops to come to the prime minister. This made us all confused and wondered what the prince's intention was."

"It wasn't until news of the Xiang family's rebellion came back to Pengcheng that the officials in the city were shocked and sighed. Unexpectedly, the monarch was so knowledgeable that he immediately contacted the Xiang family after the assassin plotted the rebellion. If the monarch hadn't made a decisive decision at the opportunity, the consequences would have been disastrous. .”

Feng Jing's face was full of admiration. In addition to Zhao Tuo's prediction in advance that Xiang was connected with the assassins, what he admired even more was Zhao Tuo's speed in defeating the enemy.

After Pengcheng received the news of Xiang's rebellion, he immediately sent the most elite Zhonglang cavalry to support them. As a result, the rebellion had been put down before these cavalry arrived.

While Feng Jing regretted that he had no chance to make meritorious deeds, he was also shocked by Zhao Tuo's speed of breaking from one thousand to three thousand.

"If my old father had the fighting speed of a martial artist, I'm afraid he would have defeated Baiyue long ago and returned to Xianyang to enjoy his blessings."

Faced with Feng Jing's praise, Zhao Tuo responded mildly.

Feng Jing is the son of Qin general Feng Wuze. He is about the same age as Zhao Tuo. He is a typical second-generation official of the Qin Dynasty.

According to the long-standing rules of the Qin State, Feng Wuze led the troops outside, and his son served as a man in the palace to act as a check.

Zhao Tuo had a good relationship with Feng Wuze. He also communicated with Feng Jing more on the road and asked some news about Feng Wuze.

When I heard that Feng Wuze couldn't eat or sleep well in the south, he asked the emperor to come back, but was rejected. He couldn't help but sigh.

"Old Feng is having a hard time!"

"He must have been with the Yue people in the south for several years."

Zhao Tuo was glad in his heart that he had changed history and would no longer go to the jungle in the south to be the king of the Yue people like in history.

In addition to Feng Wuze, Zhao Tuo also had time to care about the details of the previous assassination after quelling the Xiang rebellion.

"Brother Li, he is really..."

Zhao Tuo was moved when he heard Feng Jing describe in detail how Li You discovered the big iron cone thrown by the assassin first, and how he bravely rushed forward to cover it, blocking the big iron cone with his shoulder.

But the next words Feng Jing whispered after hesitating made Zhao Tuo suddenly change his expression.

"We discussed it privately and thought it was a bit weird."

"When Li Zhonglang was a minister, he had nothing to do. As a result, the emperor transferred him to Zhonglang and asked him to serve around him. The assassins appeared the next day. Moreover, the emperor's six carriages all had the same shape and specifications. Yes, but the assassin happened to hit that one."

"Junhou, do you think this matter will..."

Zhao Tuo swallowed hard.

He didn't want to believe this.

But whenever this happens, what Ying Yinman said before always comes to Zhao Tuo's mind.

"Fortunately, I didn't marry him back then, otherwise I might have been killed by this guy early."

Once people fall into a certain kind of thinking, they can't help but think about it.

Even if we don’t talk about the various unfortunate things that happened to Li You in this time and space, let’s focus on the original history.

In history, Li Yougong was still a princess, but the princess was later brutally killed by Hu Hai.

Li You's father Li Si and Li You's brothers were punished by Hu Hai with five punishments: tattooing on the face, cutting off the nose, and beheading the left and right legs. Finally, he was cut in half in Xianyang and the three tribes were annihilated.

Then Li You himself was defeated by Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, and was eventually beheaded by Cao Shen.

He was defeated and died.

The wife was brutally murdered.

My father and brother were sentenced to five punishments and cut in half in the city.

The Li family was wiped out by three tribes.

When Zhao Tuo made the connection like this, it was really creepy all over his body, and he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

"Hiss...Brother Li is too scary. I have to stay away from him in the future."

…

"I'm not, I didn't, it's all nonsense!"

In a mansion in Pengcheng, Li You was lying on the bed, gnashing his teeth and crying in his eyes.

The attendant who had just been forced by Li You to question the rumors in the city knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, saying: "It's all bullshit, it's all bullshit."

Li You looked blank for a long time, and then he sighed: "I asked you to say it, you don't have to do this, you can go out."

After the attendant exited the room tremblingly, Li You closed his eyes in pain.

"Is this life?"
