Chapter 359: Civil and Military Shuangquan Huaiguzi(1/2)

Huai Guzi is coming and finally can take revenge. Xiang Yu and others are all excited. They are ready to fight and can't wait for a moment.

This made Wang Laoshi and others wonder. Why are these people so eager to see the banished immortal? They are even more anxious than the craftsmen who worship the banished immortals the most.

However, Wang Laoshi didn't think much about it. He thought Xiang Yu was just a poor man, and now he finally had the opportunity to make progress, so he was particularly excited.

Xiang Yu and his companions planned many times, and finally felt that they should not be anxious about assassinating Huai Guzi. They had heard that Huai Guzi was extremely afraid of death, and there were always guards with high martial arts around him.

Therefore, Xiang Yu must penetrate into the Shangjun Villa and investigate it carefully before he can start. He must not be reckless and kill people when he sees them. If he fails, Huaiguzi will definitely be vigilant, and he may never have a chance again.

After making up this idea, Xiang Yu and the Xiang family members kept their honest smiles. But after they smiled for a few hours, Huai Guzi never entered the city.

Finally, Xiang Yu couldn't help it, so he found Wang Laoshi and asked, "Why haven't the exiled immortal come yet?"

Wang Laoshi was also a little puzzled and muttered, "How strange, it should be here. When I received the news just now, the exiled immortal was only ten miles away from Xianyang City. Now two hours have passed, so I should have entered the city no matter what."

Xiang Yu and others looked at each other and could only wait patiently. The honest smile was not so easy to pretend, and their faces were a little stiff.

…………

"Sir, are we going a little slow?" A craftsman said to Li Shui carefully.

Li Shui sat on the horse's back and was about to fall asleep. He said lightly: "Slow down? I think it's OK."

The craftsmen laughed dryly and stopped talking. The marching speed of the entire army is even slower than walking.

Li Xin was a little impatient next to him and said to Li Shui: "Brother Huai, my mount is a good horse that travels thousands of miles a day and eight hundred miles a day. Now I have been with you for a few hours, and the horse is about to be suffocated. What are you doing?"

Li Shui pointed to Xianyang City not far away and said with a smile: "Brother Li, Your Majesty has an order. You and I can return to the court and enter the palace at night."

Li Xin nodded and said, "Yes. Your Majesty trusts you and me very much. You can not only enter the city at night, but also enter the palace at night."

Li Shui said again: "In order to show respect for Your Majesty, you and I need to enter the palace first and then go home, right?"

Li Xin stared and said, "Yes, is there any problem with this?"

Li Shui said: "The problem is that if we march at normal speed, we will enter the palace at night. One will wake up Your Majesty and affect our rest. The other is... all the people in Xianyang City are asleep. Who knows our great achievements?"

Li Xin was stunned: "Can this still be like this?"

Li Shui said with a smile: "So, let's walk slowly. Walking faster is a march, and walking slower is a march. After a while, we will set up a tent temporarily, take a shower and change clothes for an hour, eat some food, and continue walking. It should be the best to enter Xianyang City after the sun is bright."

"I counted on my fingers. After dawn, it was the time for the court to discuss. At that time, all the civil and military officials of the court were there. We walked in with a majestic spirit. Wouldn't it shock everyone?"

Li Xin was stunned for a long time, then gave Li Shui a thumbs up: "High, it's really high."

Suddenly, Li Xin laughed: "I want to pay tribute to my sister again."

Li Shui rolled his eyes helplessly: In order to compete with Chunyu Yue, this guy has paid tribute to him more than a dozen times in a year. It is estimated that Chunyu Yue is not annoyed, and his sister is also annoyed.

The words of the banished immortal quickly spread throughout the team, and the hundreds of craftsmen whispered to each other, admiring the wisdom of the banished immortal.

The young master Gao and Shen Lun, who were guarded in the middle, were even more impressed.

This time, Li Shui took the initiative to bring Prince Gao back. The reason was that he wanted him to report to His Majesty about Xiang Liang's rebellion.

Young Master Gao knew that as a prince who was enfeoffed, there were too few opportunities to return to the capital. This time, Li Shui helped him get the opportunity to come back to visit his relatives, which was equivalent to recreational grace. Therefore, whenever he saw Li Shui's back, he shed tears of gratitude...

Shen Lun said to Prince Gao: "The wisdom of the exiled immortal, the sword is a coincidence, and it is surprising."

The young master Gaoshen nodded with consent.

A quarter of an hour later, the entire army temporarily rested and buried the pot to make rice. Li Shui, Li Xin, Kuaiji King, Shen Lun, and others who were about to enter the palace to meet Ying Zheng took a shower and changed into clean clothes.

In this team, there is another uneasy fat man: the giant husband.

The giant husband was brought from a distance as a prisoner. Along the way, he was frightened and as soon as he closed his eyes, his Majesty would punish him.

Therefore, the master man put all his thoughts on writing a biography for Li Shui, and tried his best to describe Li Shui as brave as possible, such as defeating more with less, and surrounding Wei and saving Zhao. He was simply shamelessly praising him.

Now the entire army stopped, Li Shui and Li Xin took a bath and changed their clothes, and the master also wanted to wash up. After all, he was a county magistrate. His Majesty would have to decide what to do after committing a crime. He should be taken into the palace by the will.

However, the craftsmen brought by Li Shui looked down on this thief, so no one likes to pay attention to him, let alone burn hot water.

Finally, the giant man walked to a small river and reached out to try the water first, which was so cold that he shuddered.

But when he thought about going to enter the palace to see the car, he gritted his teeth and entered the river, enduring his breath and flushed back and forth. When he climbed up again, his whole body was trembling with cold and almost fainted.

After finally putting on his clothes, Li Shui and Li Xin were already on the run. The giant man followed behind wet, looking like a water ghost.

At the east when the sun rises, Li Shui and Li Xin finally walked outside Xianyang City.

The city gate was wide open, and the team entered Xianyang City with their heads held high.

The sun shone on their armor and weapons, shining. Li Shui and Li Xin who were walking in the front were like gods of war. More than a hundred craftsmen following behind were like heavenly soldiers and generals.

When the people of Xianyang City saw this scene, they were all amazed: Is this the soldiers who went deep into the army and rescued the soldiers of Kuaiji King from thousands of miles away? It turns out that they are elite soldiers and powerful generals selected from thousands of miles away.

When he passed by the Exiled Immortal Tower, the craftsmen arranged by Wang Laoshi immediately rushed out and shouted to the team: "The God of War Exiled Immortal will win and return to the court. The God of War Exiled Immortal will win and return to the court."

Li Shui waved his hand modestly: "It's too silly."

Li Xin looked depressed: The God of War Exiled Immortal? Why doesn’t this guy blush himself?

…………

In the Political Consultative Hall, Ying Zheng and the court officials were discussing matters. Today, both the emperor and the officials were a little unrestrained. Because I received news yesterday that Huai Guzi and Li Shui were going back to Xianyang, why has there been no news yet?

Ying Zheng thought to himself: Could it be that Huai Guzi has any strange ideas?

Chunyu Yue thought: Li Xin has returned and made great contributions. It is not easy. It seems that my teachings on weekdays have worked.

Li Si and Wang Wan looked at each other and were both disappointed. Huai Guzi seemed to have come back a little early.

They took advantage of Li Shui's absence from Xianyang City and became Fu Yao's temporary teachers, hoping to grab Fu Yao this time. However, once the professor discovered that Fu Yao looked young, but he was very independent and difficult to be brainwashed by the two of them.

Now that Huai Guzi is back in time, their plans are completely defeated. They just want... to gain a good popularity from Fu Yao.

At this time, a little eunuch hurried in and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, good news. General Li Xin cooperated with the exiled immortals and went deep into Chu to rescue the King of Kuaiji."

Ying Zheng was a little helpless: "I have known these good news for a long time."

The little eunuch was stunned for a moment, and then continued, "Now, Li Xin and the exiled immortal have returned to the court and are waiting at the palace gate."

Ying Zheng was a little surprised and immediately said, "Please hurry up."

The little eunuch agreed and turned around and went out to pass the order.

A quarter of an hour later, Li Xin and Li Shui entered the Political Consultative Hall together.

After seeing the two of them, the ministers curled their lips: This shameless person.

The two of them washed up, and this can be seen at a glance.

That's fine, the key is that there are four big characters written on Li Xin's battle robe: The benefactor of Chu.

There are four big characters written on Li Shui's battle robe: The God of War in the Great Qin.

When Ying Zheng saw this scene, he laughed silently: "You guys are..."

Li Xin bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I dare not boast. These four words are written by the people of Chu on my battle robe."

These words were indeed written by the people of Chu. It was written by Li Shui who pretended to be a thief and Li Xin pretended to be an officer and soldier, and severely tricked Song Liu. Song Liu was grateful to Li Xin and wrote it on the battle robe.

After hearing Li Xin's words, Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction: "It seems that you will lead troops into Chu to quell the war and silence the people."

Li Xin said: "Yes. Your Majesty will unify the world and the people will live and work in peace and contentment. Who doesn't want to live a good life? Xiang Liang rebelled, and the heavens were angry and resentful. Everyone longed for the king's army and wanted to see through it."

Ying Zheng was very happy and said to Li Xin: "Three thousand lonely troops will pacify Chu. He has made outstanding contributions. Li Xin, he is really the pillar of my Great Qin."

After praising this sentence, Ying Zheng gave him another ten thousand gold and a thousand hectares of good land.

The court officials were envious of the rewards, and the key was the favor. Li Xin was already deeply trusted, and this time he made immortal achievements, and he became a celebrity around Ying Zheng.

After rewarding Li Xin, Ying Zheng looked at Li Shui and asked with a smile: "The four words on your battle robe were also written by the people of Chu?"

The courtiers were snickering.

Anyone with normal IQ probably knows that Li Shui does have some tricks, but he doesn't know how to lead troops to fight. They guessed that the word "God of War" was mostly written by Li Shui. Anyway, this guy is shameless and can't do anything?

Li Shui looked at the expressions of everyone, bowed seriously to Ying Zheng, and then said, "Did these four words be written by soldiers in the army?"

Ying Zheng blurted out: "Take it serious?"

The civil and military officials in the court also stretched their necks and waited, obviously they didn't believe it.

Li Shui's face did not change and pointed to Li Xin next to him: "General Li, you can testify."

Li Xin nodded helplessly: "It was indeed written by the soldiers. It was just the guard of the King of Kuaiji, not the three thousand people led by the minister."

When Li Xin said this, his heart hurt. He always thought that these four words should belong to him. Now he actually wanted to give them to Li Shui on the spot. For some reason, Li Xin always felt that his beloved wife was taken away and he was cuckolded.

Chunyu Yue's eyes wandered over the two of them for a while, and suddenly said, "Recently, many people in Xianyang City praised the exiled immortals, saying that they were both civil and military. Could it be that the exiled immortals really know how to lead troops to fight?"

A general even asked with a smile: "How did the banished immortal arrange troops and arrange troops? How did he escort food and grass? How did he detect the enemy's situation? Can he teach it?"

Li Shui said lightly: "The army is deployed, and a general can do it. The escort of food and supplies is the matter of military personnel. As for the investigation of the enemy, those who do it are well aware of it. These are not the matter of the commander of the first army. If you understand these, you will not be able to become the God of War in the Great Qin."

The generals asked with some dissatisfaction: "How can we become the Great Qin God of War?"

Li Shui said lightly: "The God of War is good at strategizing and winning thousands of miles. Just like a skilled chess player, he jumps out of the chess game, makes a calm arrangement, and chats and laughs, the thieves are destroyed. Like you and others charge into battle, you will be brave, but you can be generals but not commanders."

The generals were all in deep thought.

Ying Zheng looked at Li Shui, and the more he looked, the more satisfied he felt. Li Shui might not be as good as Li Xin in terms of personal force. But as Li Shui said, being the head coach of the first army does not require personal courage, but a view of the overall situation. This mentality seems to be exactly what is needed to govern the world.
