Ying Yuan still had some impression of Ji Gang.
In his previous life, he was the first commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
He is stubborn, unruly and cunning.
He often resorted to all means to eliminate dissidents in the court.
He was eventually executed by slow slicing on the charge of "treason" by Emperor Chengzu Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, no one can say what the trick is.
Perhaps it was because Ji Gang killed too many people for Zhu Di that he suffered this misfortune.
After all, sometimes even the most wise and powerful emperor needs a few scapegoats so that he can be evaluated a little better in history books.
Letting Lai Junchen be the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and Ji Gang be the deputy commander, this lineup alone will definitely cause a huge disturbance in the court and the country.
Maybe it can directly achieve your goal.
Let the world think that you are a tyrant and a fool.
"Where is Ji Gang?"
Ying Yuan asked.
There are countless colonels in Xianyang City.
How could he possibly know where the other person was?
Lai Junchen bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Ji Gang and I are from the same hometown. I served in the same court with him in those days.
Later, because I made some minor mistakes and was punished by the late emperor, I followed Prince of Yan, Zhu Di, and served as a small auxiliary military lieutenant by his side.
Hearing this, Ying Yuan nodded.
It turned out that he was Zhu Di's man.
Without waiting for his response, Lai Junchen continued, "Although it is a bit exaggerated to be promoted from a small lieutenant to the position of deputy commander.
But I can guarantee with my life that he is absolutely capable and qualified for that position.
As long as Your Majesty issues an imperial decree, I believe that Prince of Yan Zhu Di will release the person."
At the moment, not to mention Prince of Yan Zhu Di, even the other three provincial governors did not dare to disobey Ying Yuan's orders.
What's more, Ji Gang did not seem to be valued in Zhu Di's camp.
It has been so many years, and he is still an auxiliary military captain.
Lai Junchen had a good relationship with him, so he wanted to take this opportunity to help him.
In Ying Yuan's eyes, this is nepotism.
In that case, there is no reason not to agree.
"Okay, after the national war is over, I will personally ask Zhu Di for the person.
During this period, you can first think about what other requirements you have for the construction of the Jinyiwei.
I will approve anyone who needs to be admitted to the Imperial Guard."
Ying Yuan hoped that he would appoint people based on personal connections.
If you do this, you will appear to be very stupid.
As for the actual establishment of the Jinyiwei, he expected it to be after the end of the national war.
......
Hangu Pass.
The health of Xiang Yan, the commander-in-chief of the Chu army, was deteriorating.
The Chu court had sent the best doctors, but they were still helpless.
Because of the long journey, Xiang Yan injured himself and it was difficult to recover and rescue.
The situation inside the pass is too bad.
If you want to recover completely, you have to leave here and go to Tai'an City.
But Xiang Yan couldn't leave at this critical juncture.
In the central army tent.
Xiang Yan lay on the bed, listening to the people around him reporting the movements of the Qin army.
I would cough up some blood from time to time.
Xiang Chao was very worried about his health and said quickly, "Father, you should take a good rest. I will take care of these trivial matters."
Hearing the sound, Xiang Yan suddenly started coughing violently.
Seeing this, the generals beside him stepped forward one after another and said, "Marshal..."
The sounds came one after another.
Xiang Yan is the backbone of the army.
If he fell, the morale of the Chu army would plummet.
Xiang Yan waved his hand, indicating that he was fine. After calming himself down, he slowly said, "You all should leave first. Chao'er will stay."
As soon as they finished speaking, they left one after another.
Only Xiang Chao was left.
He knelt before Xiang Yan and was about to say something when he heard the latter's angry voice, "Do you think that the things I heard were all trivial matters?"
Hearing this, Xiang Chao was at a loss and could only say, "I am worried about your health, father."
Xiang Yan shook his head and said, "I know my father's health very well. He is now incurable and cannot be cured.
As a father, I listen to the Qin army's marching deployment every day because I want to judge how many days Hangu Pass can be defended, and I also want to find a way out for you.
Cao Cao is a rare military talent in a century, and he is assisted by many counselors and generals. If one day, your father is gone, it will be difficult for you to fight against him with your ability.
Your second brother lacks ambition, and your third brother's temperament is not suitable for being a commander. As for you... your achievements in this life are limited.
As a father, I have high hopes for Yu'er. If you can return to Tai'an City alive, you must teach Yu'er well.
"I believe that before long, Yu'er will be able to stand on her own, or even become a regional hegemon. The hope of our Xiang family will rest entirely on Yu'er."
These words sounded like instructions for final arrangements.
This made Xiang Chao feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Father, Yu'er said that what he most hopes for is your personal guidance. Please take good care of your health. As long as I am here, Hangu Pass will definitely be there.
Moreover, it won't be long before the imperial army arrives, and then we can seize the opportunity to capture Xianyang City in one fell swoop..."
Before he could finish his words, Xiang Yan interrupted him, "The Qin Kingdom was not destined to perish. Your Majesty and I were wrong from the beginning, thinking that Ying Yuan was nothing but a tyrant.
After several encounters, I learned that Ying Yuan is even more wise and intelligent than our Majesty. As long as Ying Yuan lives, the Qin State will not perish.
