Yiqu City.

In this city, there is a magnificent palace that looks absolutely reminiscent of words such as rich people.

This palace was built by Yiqusheng for several years to snatch wealth from the Qiang people, Wusun people, Xiongnu people and even Qin people. According to Yiqusheng's plan, it is actually just a semi-finished product.

Yiqusheng gave this palace a name called "Golden Palace".

However, the magnificent palace in Yiqusheng's heart has not been truly built, and the palace has been replaced with its owner.

Two masters.

Before, Yiqu State had 20,000 cavalry, and these 20,000 cavalry were divided into three 10,000 cavalry by Yiqu Sheng. He himself was in charge of one, and his two younger brothers were in charge of one.

In Yiqiusheng's opinion, this distribution method should be very reasonable.

However, what Yiqiusheng never expected was that on one night last year, his two younger brothers suddenly united to control all the troops in Yiqiu and launched a fierce attack on Yiqiusheng's palace city.

After a great battle, the failed Yiqusheng was forced to take his remaining soldiers and defeated generals out of the city and surrender to Li Mu in the north, and then followed Li Mu to fight against Liaodong.

"Yi Qusheng is coming back soon!" On the left side of the upper head of the Golden Palace, a man with a face similar to Yi Qusheng, but younger than Yi Qusheng said sinisterly: "And this time he also brought Li Mu!"

The person who spoke was Yi Qusheng's younger brother Yi Qubo, and the guy who looked even stronger and stronger sitting opposite Yi Qubo was Yi Qulie, another younger brother Yi Qulie.

Yi Qulie snorted when he heard this and said a little unhappy: "I told you last year that we should attack Dingxi City as soon as possible and get rid of that damn Yi Qusheng!"

Yiqu laughed and shook his head with some disdain: "Yiqulie, please use your brain! There was Li Mu in Dingxi City at that time! We all fought with Li Mu. Do you really think you are Li Mu's opponent?"

Yiqiulie groaned and said after a while: "So what should I do now?"

"What should I do?" Yiqiubo stood up and said to Yiqiulie: "I have decided that I cannot wait for death here. I will take my tribesmen to the west and look for new pastures at the foot of Yinshan Mountain and on the territory of the Qiang people!"

Yi Qulie was stunned when he heard this: "You don't want Yiqu City?"

You should know that after driving Yiqusheng away, the two of them had a open and secret struggle, just to compete for Yiqu City and a large area of ​​land near Yiqu City that Yiqu people lived in for hundreds of years.

If it weren't for the concern that Yiqusheng might have led Zhao's troops back, the two brothers would have been able to even have a dog's brain.

Now, their worries have indeed begun.

"No need!" Yiqiubo waved his hand and walked out of the palace with big strides: "As long as you want, everything in this city is yours!"

Yiqubo did it as soon as he said that day. Just in the afternoon, he took his people away from Yiqu City and handed over the huge Yiqu City to Yiqu Lie.

Yi Qulie stood on the city wall and watched Yi Qubo move away with a large army, and a look of worry slowly appeared in his eyes.

"This damn Yiqubo, he wants me to stay here to attract the attention of the people of Zhao, so that he can escape smoothly with his tribe!"

A close confidant standing beside Yiqulie said: "King, since that's the case, then let's just retreat."

Since Yi Qusheng was beaten away, Yi Qubo and Yi Qulie have each claimed to be kings.

"Retreat?" Yi Qulie sneered and said, "Where can we retreat? Don't forget that most of my subordinates are Huns. Once these Huns learn about the order to retreat, they may betray me at any time!"

As soon as this sentence was said, the confidants around Yiqiulie were suddenly panicked: "Master, since that's the case, what should we do now?"

Yi Qulie said with a sneer and said, "Although Zhao State is very powerful, don't forget that Qin State is to the south of us! If we are destroyed, the Qin State will definitely be restless, so I decided to surrender to Qin State! In this way, the Qin State will definitely help us. With Qin State's assistance, we are not unable to deal with Zhao State!"

The news that Yi Qulie planned to surrender arrived in Xianyang City on the morning of the third day.

After learning the news, King and Chu of Qin almost immediately summoned many important officials of Qin to hold meetings to discuss the matter.

"Ji, now the people of Yiqiu are preparing to surrender to me again. What do you think I should do?"

Anyone could hear the slightest excitement from the Qin King Chu.

Of course, King and Chu of Qin had reasons to be excited. You should know that since King and Chu of Qin succeeded to the throne, the land of Qin has been growing without gaining, and has become smaller every year.

On the other hand, Qin's mortal enemy, Zhao, not only became bigger and bigger every year, but also destroyed Wei and Yan, becoming more powerful than before.

Whenever Qin Wang Chu thinks of these things, he feels very upset. It can be said that he cannot eat well and cannot sleep well.

But now, the people of Yiqu are actually going to take the initiative to surrender.

This is the first time since Qin Wang Chu succeeded to the throne, he has seen hope of expanding the territory of Qin!

So the excitement of King Chu of Qin was taken for granted.

After the question from King Chu of Qin, no one spoke, but they all looked at the prime minister Lu Buwei first.

Lu Buwei pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "King, Yiqu is the old place of Qin. It is understandable that the king wants to take Yiqu back, but I also want to ask the king to think about it. Now Yiqu is not facing someone else, but Zhao State!"

As soon as Lu Buwei said these words, King Chu of Qin suddenly became a little unhappy.

If the relationship between King Chu of Qin and Lu Buwei when he succeeded to the throne can be described as intimate, then at this time, the relationship between King Chu of Qin and Lu Buwei is still close, but it has begun to fade slowly.

This is not because King Chu of Qin did not value feelings, but because Lu Buwei had not helped Qin to achieve much benefit in the past few years as prime minister.

There is no foreign victory, where can we get the benefits?

In Qin, the military aristocrats had a very large power. For these military aristocrats, what they most longed for was victory, but what Qin lacked was victory.

Someone must be responsible for this situation.

As a noble king, Qin King Chu naturally did not need to be responsible. Of course, the only one who could be responsible for this was Lu Buwei, the prime minister who was less than one person and more than ten thousand people.

It is precisely because of this that doubts about Lu Buwei have gradually increased in recent years, and a "downward Lu" tide is quietly surging.

King and Chu of Qin knew this situation well.

But the problem is that King Qin and Chu did not have any good solutions.

No matter how close the relationship is, a prime minister would not make Qin King Chu and the entire military aristocratic class an enemy, because that is the cornerstone of the Qin farming and war system.

Therefore, under the pressure of these military aristocrats, King and Chu of Qin had to alienate Lu Buwei.

As soon as Lu Buwei finished speaking, someone spoke on the other side.

The one who spoke was not someone else, but Lu Buwei's old rival, the Qin Censor Gangcheng Jun Cai Ze.

Cai Ze slowly spoke, "King, the ambition of Zhao State is now known to everyone in the world. Moreover, I heard that Zhao State has been moving frequently in the direction of the Central Plains recently, and it seems that it is about to start conquering other countries again. Yiqu is the northern barrier of Guanzhong. If the people of Zhao State are allowed to go to Yiqu, then the east and north sides of Guanzhong are owned by Zhao State, and Xianyang cannot be defended!"

When Lu Buwei heard this, he became unhappy and glared at Cai Ze and said, "Guang Chengjun, do you think that the current Qin Dynasty has the power to confront Zhao State?"

Cai Ze glared back without being outdone and said, "Wu Chengjun's words are wrong. Now it's not that the Qin Dynasty wants to confront Zhao, but that the Qin Dynasty is aggressive and that the Qin Dynasty has to fight back! If, according to Wu Chengjun's wishes, would he just sit down and watch Yiqu be destroyed by Zhao State, and then let Li Mu lead Zhao State's cavalry to the south and surround Xianyang City?"

Lu Buwei said angrily: "How come I don't know that Zhao State is aggressive? But now the Great Qin needs to rest and recuperate!"

Cai Ze also blew his beard and stared at him: "The Qin Dynasty has used its troops every year for decades, but why have you never seen any rest and rest? If we continue like this, I am afraid that the Qin Dynasty will really die in the hands of your rest and rest policy!"

"Okay, okay, don't argue!" King Chu of Qin interrupted the two of them impatiently: "Gang Chengjun is right. The Qin Dynasty doesn't need any rest. What the Qin needs now is a victory! I have made people find out that this time Li Mu led the troops south to only have 20,000 cavalry. I may not be able to defeat Zhao State, but I don't believe that I can't even win 20,000 cavalry! Come on, summon Wang Jian and Wei Liao into the palace!"

Lu Buwei was still talking about it, but after seeing Qin Wang Chu's face as dark as the bottom of the pot, he finally closed his mouth unwillingly.

It's not helpful to say more.

Soon, the orders of King Chu of Qin spread throughout Xianyang City and Qin State.

The generals of Qin State took Wang Jian as the main general and Wei Liao as the deputy general, and led 100,000 Qin troops to the north to aid Yiqu and fight against Li Mu!

In addition, Qin also sent envoys to the three kingdoms of Han, Chu and Qi, hoping that the three kingdoms could fulfill the agreement reached before and send troops to fight against Zhao.

After more than a year of rest and recuperation, Qin finally made another decision and once again stood on the opposite side of Zhao.
Chapter completed!
