Chapter 141 Chapter Four: Well-intentioned

Inside the official residence of the governor of Sanchuan County, Li You looked dignified. In front of him was a letter sent by Li Si quickly.The letter is not long, just a few numbers, saying: The thief will go west, but he can't hold on, let the thief pass by, can't help it. PS: It burns after reading, remember to remember. Li Younai, the eldest son of Li Si, was then the prefect of Sanchuan, and the prefecture of Xingyang.Sanchuan County is the gateway to the capital Xianyang, and its position as the county governor is not insignificant, but Li You still feels unsatisfied and unsatisfied.The governor of Sanchuan County can only be regarded as a local official after all, and cannot be compared with the Sangong Jiuqing.And he has been in the position of the prefect of Sanchuan County for more than ten years, and his official career has been stagnant, and he has not been promoted.He is nearly fifty years old, and if he doesn't make a breakthrough, his chances of promotion in the future will only become slimmer.

For Li You, it was both luck and misfortune to have an old man like Li Si.Fortunately, he can struggle N years less than others.Unfortunately, he can never catch up with his father, and can only live in his father's shadow forever, at the mercy of his old man.It was precisely because of his father's existence that it hindered his official career.Li Si was hesitant to transfer him to an important position in the imperial court because he was worried that he would be criticized and envied by others. After Chen Sheng's uprising, Li You was very excited. Finally, there was a battle to fight, and he was finally able to make contributions and become a general with his own strength.However, seeing that the rebel army was growing stronger, they still couldn't wait for the imperial court's order to conquer.In desperation, he could only train his soldiers diligently, repair the city defense, and prepare for a fierce battle at any time.

Now, he has received a letter from Li Si, which makes it clear that instead of letting him go into battle to kill the thieves, he is asked to implement a policy of non-resistance. Qin's homeland, let them go. Obviously, such a weird order made it difficult for Li You to understand and accept it.He is responsible for the guardianship of the empire. If he does not resist the rebels, he will not only be unable to explain to himself, but also unable to explain to his subordinates.However, this is not only the order of the father, but also the order of the prime minister, so how could he disobey it.

He didn't know what the old man was thinking, since the old man gave such an order, he must have his own far-reaching intentions.And he trusted his father. Li You threw the book into the fire, and the bamboo slips made a crackling sound and gradually turned to ashes. Sure enough, within a few days, Wu Guang led an army to attack Xingyang to the west. Li You obeyed Li Si's order and could not hold out.All the soldiers under Li You were furious and called for a fight. Officers and soldiers are cats, and rebels are mice. Mice are not afraid of cats, but cats are afraid of mice. What's wrong with the world?Li You resisted all opinions and insisted on not allowing it.

Li You couldn't hold on, and Wu Guang had no choice but to yell and scold at regular intervals.The two sides were deadlocked. Now that Xingyang was surrounded, Chen Sheng ordered Zhou Wen to be the general, led thousands of chariots, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers, passed Xingyang, went straight to Hangu Pass, and attacked the mainland of Qin in the west.Zhou Wen led the army invincible all the way, and soon arrived in Xiyi, only a hundred miles away from Xianyang. This is the first time in more than a hundred years that Qin's mainland has been attacked by war.When the news spread to Xianyang, the city was in panic, and the ministers were even more frightened. They wrote letters one after another, urging Emperor Hu Hai to come out and preside over the overall situation.

The army was overwhelming and the situation was critical. Zhao Gao and Hu Hai could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb, so they had to convene a court meeting. So far, Li Si finally achieved his goal, he finally forced Hu Hai out.He knew that Hu Hai was under Zhao Gao's control, and he had no hope of meeting Hu Hai with ordinary methods.He also had no other choice, and just now he came up with this bad strategy, using the uprising army as a military remonstrance.The so-called facts speak louder than words. Don’t you Hu Hai not believe that thieves are rampant? Then invite the thieves to your eyes and see how you can shirk it?

Although Li Si achieved his goal, he also paid a heavy price, that is, he lured wolves into the house and bet on the fate of the empire.Wouldn't it be sad and a pity that the dignified prime minister of the empire had to use such a method to meet the emperor of the empire!
