Chapter 535: Back Road
Seven days after Miyue's death.
Ying Yuan did not bury his body, but placed it in Chenghua Palace.
A few days later.
The State of Chu sent people to express condolences.
He also sent a letter from Li Yuan, the current Prime Minister of Chu.
Inside the Xuanzheng Hall.
The central ministers in the court were all looking at the letter at this moment.
What is written above simply means that Li Yuan is willing to continue to be loyal to the Qin State.
Yu Qian was very disgusted with such people.
"Your Majesty, as far as I know, the death of Chunshen Jun Huang Xie seems to be related to Li Yuan."
"This man was once a retainer of Huang Xie. If the rumors are true, it means that Li Yuan is suspected of murdering his master."
"Moreover, Li Yuan also agreed with Xiang Yu's decision to send troops to aid Great Yan. He is using our Great Qin as a weapon."
"Such a two-faced person should be brought to ruin."
Cao Cao bowed disapprovingly and said, "Your Majesty, no matter what, Li Yuan has helped our Great Qin. He is a meritorious official to our Great Qin."
"Furthermore, with him, a prime minister, acting as our Great Qin's internal support, wouldn't it be much easier for us to destroy Chu?"
Yu Qian retorted, "Your Excellency, this is wrong. Given the strength of our Qin, do we need Li Yuan's help to destroy Chu?"
Cao Cao said in a deep voice, "Doctor Yu, have you ever fought against the Chu army? Have you ever witnessed Xiang Yu's power?"
"Now the Chu army is in Xiang Yu's hands. If we want to destroy Chu, we must first destroy the Xiang clan."
Yu Qian said, "Although Xiang Yu is famous, he is no match for Your Majesty."
Cao Cao sneered, "Could it be that Your Majesty is actually leading the army in person just to attack Chu?"
Yu Qian responded, "If Your Majesty does not lead the army in person, then how can it be that among all the generals of the Great Qin, no one dares to claim that he can defeat Xiang Yu?"
The two sides started arguing because of a disagreement.
About a quarter of an hour passed.
The hall finally became quiet.
Ying Yuan looked at Ying Chuan beside him and asked with a smile, "What do you think about the problems of the Chu State?"
The latter bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that Li Yuan should be used first and then killed."
"If we can get him to help us, the Qin State, conquer Chu, we will achieve twice the result with half the effort."
Ying Yuan smiled and asked, "What if we kill Li Yuan afterwards and people all over the world accuse us of being ruthless and destroying our own bridges?"
Ying Chuan thought for a moment and said seriously, "Li Yuan may have died in the war, just like Chunshen Jun was killed by an unknown assassin."
Ying Yuan nodded approvingly, "Your Highness is right. Let's do as Your Highness wishes."
Cao Cao bowed deeply and said, "Your Majesty, when do you plan to attack Chu?"
Ying Yuan smiled and said, "Why do I feel that you are more anxious about the attack on Chu than I am?"
Cao Cao dared not breathe, "I just want to share your majesty's worries."
Ying Yuan said earnestly, "There's no rush for the Chu Kingdom. I heard you're bringing the Shu Kingdom's general, Guan Yu, here? And you're using my name?"
Today, Shu and Qin are in an alliance.
Relying on this relationship, Cao Cao asked Liu Bei for Guan Yu in the name of Ying Yuan.
The excuse is to deepen the relationship between the two countries.
Liu Bei had no reason to refuse, nor did he dare to refuse.
Cao Cao knelt and said, "Your Majesty, this is indeed the case. I was just about to report this to Your Majesty."
Ying Yuan said calmly, "Where do you plan to place him?"
Cao Cao asked tentatively, "I wonder how the central camp is doing?"
The five major camps are stationed in the east, south, west, north and center of the Qin Dynasty.
And this central camp is actually the so-called imperial guards.
It is a private army that is only loyal to the royal family.
However, the military forces of the world, although they are said to be set up for the people of the world, are actually just minions of the royal family.
Ying Yuan pondered for a moment before slowly making a decision.
"Let Guan Yu enter the palace as the commander of the guards, to accompany Zhao Yun, Lu Bu, and the others. What do you think, Prime Minister?"
How could Cao Cao dare to refuse?
"I thank Your Majesty on behalf of Guan Yu!"
Hearing this.
Ying Yuan frowned slightly and said:
"Meng De, you are an old minister. I promoted you. Don't be foolish, or you will make it difficult for me."
Cao Cao subconsciously knew what the other party was referring to, and immediately shuddered and said:
"I understand. I overstepped my bounds."
In the past, whenever he wanted to assign someone to a position, Ying Yuan would agree with his eyes closed.
But now it's different.
Ying Yuan began to think carefully.
"Tell the Chu envoy to tell Li Yuan, no, tell Xiang Yu."
"The Qin State only recognized the Emperor of Chu, not him as the Overlord."
"If Mi Sheng is in any danger, I will not agree, and neither will the Great Qin."
I'm afraid only Ying Yuan would be so unscrupulous as to threaten Xiang Yu.
late at night.
Ying Yuan hasn't rested yet.
Instead, he was staring at dozens of slips of paper.
Written on the note were the names of the generals under Cao Cao's command.
Daji was behind him, looking at the names on the slips, feeling more and more frightened.
"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is loyal to you. Are you going to...?"
She hesitated to speak, fearing she would say the wrong thing.
Ying Yuan said nonchalantly:
"I heard earlier that the Qin army is divided into three major factions."
"One is the former subordinates of the Four Kings. The predecessors of this faction were the local armies."
"The second is the army commanded by rising stars such as Bai Qi, Yue Fei, and Huo Qubing."
"These three are the four generals and Cao Cao. Among them, Cao Cao is the most powerful."
"Although it's just a folk rumor, I know that among the generals in the court, there are too many people who are close to Meng De."
