Chapter 300: Having the Ability to Use People, but Lacking the Wisdom to Recognize Them!
In the Zhangtai Palace.
Regarding the matter of Fan Yuqi receiving the news in advance and escaping, Ying Zheng was actually not as angry as he had imagined.
On the contrary, compared to Fan Yuqi, he cared more about other people.
"Mr. was right, I did indeed see a good show!"
Ying Zheng's voice was low, and his tone was somewhat complex.
Fan Yuqi and the Cheng Qiao rebellion had connections. This was learned by him from Su Xuan's mouth. There were not many people who knew about this matter. Afterward, he handed this matter to Lord Changping to handle, but as a result, such a big loophole appeared.
Fan Yuqi escaped in advance. Clearly, someone tipped him off.
If it were in the past, he would only suspect others and would absolutely not suspect Lord Changping. After all, Lord Changping's status was noble, and his relationship with him was close. It was absolutely impossible to betray him.
But now, it was not certain.
Fan Yuqi did not die. For Ying Zheng, it was indeed somewhat regrettable, but it was only regrettable. In the final analysis, the Cheng Qiao matter had passed for such a long time, and this time, not using Fan Yuqi as a general to let him attack the State of Zhao did not bring greater losses.
Fan Yuqi escaped, so he escaped. Sooner or later, he could be arrested and brought to justice.
It was just that by borrowing Fan Yuqi, he fished out a bigger fish, knowing that behind the Qin Guo, there were others hiding. For Ying Zheng, it could already be considered a gain.
Of course, as far as the result was concerned, it was not enough to make Ying Zheng happy. On the contrary, he was still somewhat uncomfortable.
In his heart, he gave birth to some vigilance toward Lord Changping.
But Ying Zheng eventually chose to endure and did not directly tear his face with Lord Changping. He asked Su Xuan again: "Mr. thinks, after Fan Yuqi leaves the Qin Guo, where will he go?"
"The State of Han has already been annihilated, and there are five states in the east of the mountains. If I speculate, Fan Yuqi is most likely to go to the State of Yan!"
"The State of Yan? Why not the State of Zhao?" Ying Zheng was somewhat puzzled.
Back then, after Cheng Qiao rebelled and failed, he fled to the State of Zhao. Fan Yuqi played a disgraceful role in the Cheng Qiao matter. He was clearly also in contact with the State of Zhao. If he really wanted to go, he should have fled to the State of Zhao, rather than the State of Yan, which had never had any intersection.
"Fan Yuqi, as a great general of the Qin Guo, apart from personal morality, still has ability. This time he fled in fear of crime, but as long as he is not stupid, he can still see the current situation clearly. After the State of Han, the next target of the Qin Guo is the State of Zhao~."
"He fled to the State of Zhao at this time. If the State of Zhao's war fails, he is very likely to be used by the State of Zhao as a tool to appease the Qin Guo's anger!"
"And the hatred between the Qin Guo and the State of Zhao is deep. Even if he is in the State of Zhao, it is estimated that he will be difficult to be relied upon heavily!"
"Therefore, it is impossible for him to go to the State of Zhao; it will only be the State of Yan."
Su Xuan talked eloquently. "As for why it would be the State of Yan, which has no connection? This naturally has to go and ask our Crown Prince of the State of Yan, Dan!"
"It actually has to do with Yan Dan?" Ying Zheng felt that the matter was becoming more and more complex, actually involving another irrelevant person.
Regarding Yan Dan, Ying Zheng was somewhat jealous. Why could the Mohists be used by Yan Dan? But apart from this, for the past year, Yan Dan had been extremely compliant in the Qin Guo and had no excessive actions, fulfilling the duties of a hostage very well. Ying Zheng also did not pay attention to him.
"Yan Dan and Fan Yuqi do not know each other, but if someone begs him, asking him to write a letter, give a token, and let the people of the State of Yan take him in, he will clearly also agree happily."
"To a certain extent, Yan Dan is actually very similar to Han Fei!"
Su Xuan evaluated Yan Dan.
As for where they were similar, Su Xuan did not say.
Ying Zheng also did not ask much, just secretly remembered these words of Su Xuan in his heart.
In fact, Su Xuan had one more sentence he did not say, that was, Yan Dan was not only similar to Han Fei, but also similar to Lord Changping, Xiong Qi. The three of them were essentially about the same.
They were all people who could do anything for their old country.
The only difference was that Han Fei's state had already been annihilated, and his fate seemed to have been rewritten.
What remained were only Yan Dan and Lord Changping.
In order to preserve the State of Yan and the State of Chu, they were still struggling hard.
After chatting about Fan Yuqi, Su Xuan asked Ying Zheng another question. "Fan Yuqi has fled in fear of crime. Has Your Majesty decided who to use as a general to crusade against the State of Zhao?"
"How about Li Xin?"
Ying Zheng had clearly also pondered this question during this period, so he gave a candidate.
Hearing the candidate Ying Zheng gave, Su Xuan was genuinely speechless.
How should he say it?
Ying Zheng had the ability to use people, but unfortunately, his ability to recognize people was truly not very good.
Zhao Gao and Li Si were a bit better. Historically, after he passed away, they began to reveal their ambitions. While Fan Yuqi, Lord Changping, and Li Xin revealed their problems while he was still alive.
Fan Yuqi was completely a person who grew on a rebellious bone.
He was once a guest of Lu Buwei and was relied upon heavily by Lu Buwei, serving as a general of the Qin Guo. As a result, because he hated Lu Buwei for stealing the country by taking a concubine, he instigated Cheng Qiao to rebel. Seeing that Cheng Qiao's rebellion could not succeed, he decisively betrayed Cheng Qiao and, with the help of his relationship with Lu Buwei, managed to get rid of the charges.
After Cheng Qiao was brought to justice, he continued to work under Lu Buwei. After Lu Buwei fell from power, he offered his services to Ying Zheng and was once relied upon heavily by Ying Zheng.
If Su Xuan had not pointed out that he had a problem, he would have accepted Ying Zheng's order to raise troops to attack the State of Zhao, and then be defeated by the Zhao general Li Mu. The 100,000-strong Qin army would be annihilated, and Li Mu would also harvest the greatest victory against the Qin Guo. After the defeat, Fan Yuqi not only had no feeling of shame, but on the contrary, fled in fear of crime and ran to the State of Yan.
After Ying Zheng executed his whole family, he not only did not think it was his own fault but also thought the Qin King was inhumane, so he assisted Yan Dan in carrying out an assassination.
In his life, only the final act of cutting his own throat could be said to have a bit of backbone. The rest of the things were truly contemptible.
Aside from Fan Yuqi, Lord Changping Jun Xiong Qi, who had a Mo Ni relationship with the King of Qin, delivered a backstab to Ying Zheng at a critical moment, causing the entire two-hundred-thousand-strong army led by Li Xin to invade Chu to be wiped out, and also betraying the trust of Ying Zheng.
By comparison, although Li Xin also had various shortcomings, he had never thought of betraying. Even if the attack on the State of Chu failed, that was because he fell into someone else's trick.
Right now, the candidate Ying Zheng gave, on the whole, was much better than Fan Yuqi.
But Su Xuan thought about it and still vetoed Ying Zheng's proposal, mainly because Lord Changping, Xiong Qi, had already given birth to a different heart at this time. Who knew if he would make any trouble if Li Xin was allowed to attack the State of Zhao.
"I suggest letting General Wang Jian lead the troops to attack the State of Zhao!"
Su Xuan's reply was very simple. If asked, it was Wang Jian. Who told Wang Jian to be more steady and never fight a battle without certainty? He was also the one among the many generals of the Qin Guo who would not have problems.
