Ying Zheng read Zhao Mu's memorial and became even more agitated. Being suppressed by Lu Buwei, it was very difficult for him to place his own people in every position in the Imperial Court. Even the trusted subordinates left behind by his father were forced out of Xianyang to do something extremely dangerous.
However, he had not expected that in the face of Lu Buwei's deliberate lack of food, his trusted aide would turn the crisis into an opportunity and take over the granary of Xianyang.
Ying Zheng thought quickly in his mind, and soon locked onto a young man--Zhang Han.
Zhang Han was also a talent loyal to him, so he could take over the granary of Xianyang.
"Zhao Gao, quickly call Zhang Han over.”
"Draw up a decree, say that the general of the granary, Lu Qing, deliberately seized the grain of the army, removed his official position, killed his entire family, and replaced him with Zhang Han.”
Zhao Gao was stunned for a moment, but he immediately understood that it must be related to the memorial that Zhao Mu had sent over.
He quickly sent someone to inform Zhang Han and then drafted the holy decree himself.
At this moment, the Qin soldiers guarding the granary in Xianyang saw 30,000 old soldiers rolling over.
Dust flew into the air, and a baleful aura soared into the sky.
They could not help but be shocked as they stared at everything in disbelief. Someone quickly went to inform Lu Qing.
The rest of the people raised their bows and arrows shakily, aiming at the 30,000 old soldiers.
"What are you doing?"
"Could it be that they want to rebel?"
The guards shouted.
Zhao Mu raised his Azure Dragon Halberd, and the soldiers behind him immediately stopped.
Zhao Mu urged his horse forward.
"This general is the Left Shu Chang, Zhao Mu, and asked Lu Qing to come out and see me. The army has gone out, but they have not given us any rations and have even detained our deputy general.”
Zhao Mu's body was strong. His voice was like thunder, shaking the entire granary.
The soldiers guarding the granary looked at each other in confusion.
It was a serious crime to detain the provisions of an army.
How could their general do such a thing?
Moreover, they had detained the soldiers who had come to collect their rations. If the king knew about this, all of them would be punished.
Subconsciously, these soldiers put down the Qin crossbows in their hands.
Some of them even hurried to inform Lu Qing.
At this moment, Qin Ruo was behind the granary's camp. His forehead was already covered in sweat and his face was pale.
He knew that the matter had blown up. Would Minister Lyu really be willing to protect him?
That was the army led by Zuo Shu Chang, they were about to set out but their rations were seized.
Zhang Meng was also imprisoned by him.
Now that Zuo Shu Chang had led his troops to the door, what should he do?
Qin Ruo's face was blank, her mind was already completely in a mess.
He hurriedly turned around and ran towards Lu Qing's tent. Under such circumstances, he could only ask Lu Qing what to do.
Before they reached Lu Qing's tent, Lu Qing had already rushed over with his men.
"General, what should we do?" Qin Ruo asked in a panic.
Lu Qing looked at him and berated,"What are you panicking about?"
Lu Qing's calmness infected Qin Ruo, who heaved a sigh of relief.
He followed Lu Qing to the gate of the granary in Xianyang.
Outside the gate, Zhao Mu stood alone in front of the 30,000-strong army, showing off his strength.
" Hmph!" Lu Qing snorted coldly and said in a low voice," Little kid, what do you know?"”
The gate of the camp opened. Lu Qing rode forward on his horse, with 100 personal guards and Qin Ruo by his side.
At the same time, all the soldiers in the camp came out and formed a formation.
The two Qin armies actually went against each other one day.
Zhao Mu looked at Lu Qing who had arrived in front of him and said indifferently,"General Lu Qing, do you know how great your sin is for causing this situation? Can you take responsibility?"
Zhao Mu's words made Lu Qing smile slightly.
"General Zhao, I don't know why you're pushing the blame on me for your rebellion." Lu Qing said indifferently. Do you really think that no one in Great Qin can rule over you?”
As he spoke, the sound of war drums rang out from all directions. The guards of Xianyang gathered and surrounded Zhao Mu and the 30,000 old soldiers.
Zhao Mu narrowed his eyes.
He didn't think that Lu Buwei would have the guts to kill him in Xianyang.
The lack of food was just an excuse. It seemed that they wanted to plant the crime of rebellion on him.
General Heng He urged his horse forward and looked at Zhao Mu,""Zhao Mu, I have received the Prime Minister's orders. You have rebelled and committed unforgivable crimes.”
"Soldiers, if you do not want to be implicated by Zhao Mu, quickly put down your weapons. The Prime Minister will only kill the chief culprit. The rest are innocent. If you do not surrender, it will be a major crime of treason!”
Heng Cui's words caused a commotion among the old soldiers.
However, Zhao Mu still stood there. The old soldiers clamored for a while, but no one put down their weapons.
They all knew what had happened, and they absolutely did not believe that Zhao Mu wanted to rebel.
They were only here to bring the old soldier brothers back!
The old soldiers did not put down their weapons, making Heng Cui feel slightly uneasy.
The corners of Zhao Mu's mouth curled up slightly.
He was very gratified. This proved that he already had some initial prestige in the hearts of these old soldiers.
Zhao Mu looked at Heng Ke and said loudly," General Heng Ke, you said that I rebelled. May I ask if you have the King's decree?"”
Heng Tu's face darkened slightly. Zhao Mu was a trusted subordinate left behind by the former king to Ying Zheng, and Ying Zheng would naturally not give a decree to kill Zhao Mu. This time, it was Prime Minister Lu Buwei who intended to act first before reporting.
Zhao Mu laughed." You can't even take out the King's holy decree, yet you say that I'm rebelling. You're just trying to accuse me. Why do you have no excuse?"”
Seeing that Heng Cui didn't have the King of Qin's token, the old soldiers, who were originally a little nervous, immediately calmed down.
As expected, they did not trust the wrong general. This time, the morale of the old soldiers was even higher, and their fighting spirit was even stronger.
They had already decided to follow Zhao Mu and teach these guys a lesson.
Heng Ke said," Zhao Mu, don't use your glib words. The country's politics are now in the hands of the Prime Minister. If you start a rebellion, how would you have time to ask for the King of Qin's decree? The only way is to kill you first and quell the rebellion!"”
Heng Chi raised his right hand and swung it down.
The guards of Xianyang immediately took a step forward and raised their crossbows. Shocking killing intent gathered towards Zhao Mu and the others.
