Fu Qin starts with a plan

Chapter 211 Fusu: Brother Kun may be more suitable than me!

The northern border of the Great Qin Empire, Jiuyuan City.

The howling north wind rattled the black flag on the city wall.

Compared with last year, this year's Jiuyuan City is much colder, and the snow is much earlier.

Jiuyuan County, as the border bordering the Xiongnu, goes north from the Great Wall and passes through the Yin Mountains, which is the hinterland of the Xiongnu, where there is an endless grassland.

The Huns lived on the banks of the river in this grassland.

At this time in previous years, the Xiongnu would take advantage of the heavy snow to seal the mountains and send troops south to plunder their winter supplies.

But this year has been unusually quiet.

At this time, a huge tent inside the Great Wall was already covered with thick snow.

Although it was cold and windy outside, the soldiers guarding the tents were as immobile as a mountain, with resolute faces.

It looks like he is well trained.

Compared with the cold outside the tent, the inside of the tent is much warmer.

At this moment, in the center of the tent, there was a brazier with a radius of half a meter, and a raging charcoal fire was burning inside.

Next to the brazier, there was a middle-aged man with a burly figure and a mighty face, warming himself by the fire.

"General Meng, come here today, but what news do you have?"

At this moment, the young man sitting at the head of the tent put down his pen and looked up at the middle-aged man warming himself by the fire.

The middle-aged man, surnamed Meng and named Tian, ​​was the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army of Qin.

The young man was Fusu, the eldest son who was expelled from Xianyang by the First Emperor.

Ever since Fusu returned to Jiuyuan, he has kept to himself and seldom went out.

In addition to studying the art of war every day, he also practiced calligraphy to cultivate his health. As time went by, the elegant atmosphere on his body became stronger and stronger.

This made Meng Tian very worried.

Because what the First Emperor disliked the most was the refined aura of Fusu.

Sighing, Meng Tian stood up and said to Fusu, "I received a report from an informant that the Xiongnu Lao Shanyu is dead, and his son Maodun will take his place!"

"What?" Fu Su closed the bamboo slips, smiled and said to Meng Yi, "Still worried about not being able to send troops to the Xiongnu?"

Speaking of this matter, Meng Tian couldn't help but sigh again.

"Moutun, I have met him before, he is much more ruthless than the old Shanyu, and he was a hostage in the Dayue Clan, and he knows how to endure. If he is allowed to sit on the throne, it will be a disaster for the Qin State. Not blessed."

There was a little worry in Meng Tian's tone.

Fu Su raised his hand to signal him to sit down, and then comforted him with a warm smile: "Father did not order the Northern Expedition, there should be other considerations, after all, the country has not been peaceful recently, and problems have appeared in many places."

"Is it so serious?" Meng Tian frowned and asked.

Fu Su nodded: "You have been guarding the border for ten years, and you are not very clear about the domestic situation. Now Daqin can be described as internal and external troubles, and can no longer stand the toss."

A recent letter from Meng Yi only said that Emperor Shihuang had made another eastward tour, but did not mention the domestic situation.

Listening to Fusu's talk now, Meng Tian's worry became more and more intense.

But Fusu still comforted him with a warm smile: "However, you don't have to worry too much. As long as Father is here, all problems will be fine."

Meng Yi frowned, shook his head and said: "But I always feel that Your Majesty has become different from before!"

"What's different?" Fusu tilted her head, a little puzzled.

Meng Tian took a sip of hot tea and asked back, "Did you see anything when you returned to Xianyang?"

"No."

Fu Su shook his head and sighed; "When I left, Emperor Father seemed to be seriously ill again, and he didn't have much time to communicate with me."

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something, and said bitterly: "It's all because I didn't listen to Brother Kun, which led to today's situation."

"Young master Kun?"

Meng Yi squinted his eyes, thoughtful.

This is not the first time that Fusu mentioned Zhao Kun. Every time he talked about the first emperor, Fusu would mention Zhao Kun, which made Meng Tian a little curious about the nineteenth prince.

As far as he knew, the prince whom the first emperor loved the most was Hu Hai, the son, but he had never heard of this son Kun.

Could it be that the first emperor had a new favorite?
Thinking of this, Meng Tian asked curiously: "Young Master Kun can really cure Tong Wuhou?"

Fusu smiled and nodded: "It is said that it was cured three months ago!"

"what?"

Meng Tian was surprised.

Fu Su poured him a cup of hot tea, and said proudly: "My brother Kun's ability is rarely known to people, but he is definitely the most capable among our brothers and sisters!"

"Your Majesty"

Meng Tian wanted to ask about Emperor Shi Huang's attitude, but was interrupted by Fusu: "Di Kun and Emperor Father have some misunderstandings, so Emperor Father still doesn't know about Emperor Kun's abilities."

Hearing this, Meng Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't think that son Kun could beat Fusu, if Emperor Shi Huang valued it, it meant that there was one more competitor.

This is extremely unfavorable to Fusu.

But fortunately, since the young master Kun has conflicts with the first emperor, there is no competition.

Seemingly seeing what Meng Tian was thinking, Fu Su also sighed, and said leisurely: "Actually, Brother Kun may be more suitable than me."

As soon as the words fell, Meng Tian's expression changed abruptly, he looked directly at Fusu and said, "How can the eldest son say that?"

The Meng family put all their hopes on Fusu, now that Fusu has the intention to retire, how can Meng Tian not be annoyed.

But Fusu didn't argue with Meng Tian, ​​just said indifferently: "As long as it's good for Daqin, it doesn't matter. Father sacrificed a lot for Daqin. As the eldest son of father, it doesn't matter if I sacrifice a little."

"But."

Meng Tian hesitated to speak, Fusu smiled and waved his hands: "Now is not the time to talk about these things. Although the Xiongnu is changing from old to new, we have to plan ahead."

"Huh?" Meng Tian turned his head to look at Fu Su: "What is the eldest son's plan?"

"I am going to secretly support Abelu, and slow down the time for Modu to gather the Huns."

"Why is this?"

Meng Yi frowned and asked: "Didn't Your Majesty say that there must be a war between the Huns and the Da Yue Clan?"

"The current Huns are not as powerful as the Da Yue Clan. Even if they want to fight the Da Yue Clan, they still need to gather all the tribes of the Huns, but we can't let him do that."

"Why is that?"

Fusu: "Because my Great Qin needs the countries of the Western Regions, if the Huns go to war with the Da Yuezhi, the path to the Western Regions will be cut off."

"Great Qin needs the countries of the Western Regions?"

"Brother Kun said that the countries in the Western Regions in the future will be Daqin's money bag, and the money bag must never be taken away by others."

Hearing this, Meng Tian frowned into a Sichuan character.

Not only did he feel that the first emperor had changed, but even the eldest son of the emperor in front of him had also changed.

Daqin didn't even get the Xiongnu out of the way now, so why did he focus on the Western Regions other than the Xiongnu?

purse?
Could it be that my Great Qin army is going to plunder the countries of the Western Regions?
Thinking of this, Meng Tian felt a little absurd, so he asked again: "What about Da Yueshi?"

"Now that the Huns are changing from old to new, Donghu King is restrained by Li Xin. If the Da Yue Clan suddenly launches an attack, what should we do?"

"This"

Hearing this, Fu Su showed hesitation, and after a while, he said in a deep voice: "I will immediately write to Emperor Father to let him pay attention to the Da Yue Clan's sneak attack!"

After finishing speaking, he went back to his seat, wrote vigorously, and quickly finished writing a letter, asking the soldiers to hurry up and send it to Pinyang Palace.

At the same time, outside Shangjun City.

Across the mountain is the location of the Da Yue Clan's garrison.

The Da Yue Clan was active in the Hexi Corridor and had a feud with the Xiongnu. The war between the two countries was also a battle between you and each other, and each other won or lost.

In addition to the Da Yuezhi, there are many Qiang people in the Hexi Corridor.

Although there are many Qiang people, they are not large-scale and basically operate in the form of small tribes.

The only ones who can pose a threat to Great Qin are the Great Yuezhi, the Xiongnu, and Donghu.

At this time, not far from the Great Wall of Shangjun, a cavalry was ambushing, ready to go.

Behind this cavalry is the garrison camp of Da Yuezhi, which has a large number of legions.

There are 10 people.

These Da Yuezhi cavalry, wearing costumes of five colors, represent five different tribes.

They are Guishuang, Xiumi, Shuangmi, Pangdun and Dumi.

The leader of the five tribes is called Shehou.

At this moment, the five Shehous of the Dayue Clan were sitting around the fire, talking with each other.

"This time going south, the king is a little anxious. Now that Touman has died of illness, his son Modun has won the position of Shan Yu, and this person is Modun."

Shehou of the Guishuang tribe said while looking around at the other four leaders, frowned and said: "A few years ago, Maodun was a hostage in the Dayue clan. I'm afraid they will retaliate against us!"

"Your Majesty doesn't want to make good friends with the Qin State. It is really unwise to start a war with the Qin State for mere envoys."

Hearing this, Shehou of the Dumi Department immediately asked: "Lu Jiha, are you questioning the king's decision?"

"I'm just worried about the future of Da Yuezhi!"

Lu Jiha, Shehou of the Guishuang Ministry glanced at Azhar, the Shehou of Dumi Ministry, and said solemnly: "If the Qin State forms an alliance with the Xiongnu, we will be in trouble."

"There is nothing to worry about in this situation."

Shehou of the Xiumi Department shook his head with a smile and said: "The Qin State is self-reliant and strong. They not only hate us to go south to herd horses, but also hate the Xiongnu."

"In this case, why did the king send envoys to form an alliance?"

Shehou of the Shuangmi Department asked puzzledly.

Shehou of the Ministry of Secret Secrets said with a smirk: "Naturally, we must find a suitable reason to go south!"

"King Donghu invited His Majesty to go south several times, but His Majesty refused to agree, not because he was afraid of Qin, but to tell King Donghu that if we collude with the Xiongnu, we will turn against Qin at any time."

"Now that King Donghu has sent us sincerity, we will naturally not turn against Qin."

"Then what did King Donghu send?" Shehou of Fat Dunbu asked curiously.

Shehou of the Secret Ministry chuckled, pulled out the sword at his waist, pointed to the sheepskin map on the carpet and said, "This place will be ours from now on!"

The other four princes looked down, and suddenly found that the location pointed by the tip of the sword turned out to be Longxi County.

"Could it be." Lu Jiha tilted his head and looked at Shehou of the Secret Ministry: "King Donghu wants to help us take Longxi County?"

"Not bad!"

Shehou of Xiumi Department nodded and said, "As long as we attack Longxi County, Donghu King's informants will open the city gate for us and help us attack the city!"

"This is the way he left for himself. Now that the situation in Liaodong is not good, he expects us to relieve the pressure there!"

"And we also need to take this opportunity to become stronger and deal with the Huns!"

Hearing this, the eyes of the four people brightened, and they drew out their swords one after another, imitating the appearance of the Marquis of the Xiumi Department, and pointed the tip of the sword at the city of Longxi County.

At this time, the Marquis of Xiumi said again in a deep voice: "This time the horse herding, except for food, iron, bronze, and women, everything else will be destroyed, especially the men, all of them will be killed!"

"it is good!"

The four of them nodded excitedly upon hearing this.

That night!

The junction of Qiang and Da Yuezhi, Didao.

Before Qin unified the six kingdoms, this position was occupied by foreign races all the year round.

It was not until Qin Xiangong destroyed Xirong that this place was set as Didao.

After Qin Shihuang unified the world, he connected the Great Wall built in this area, starting from Lintao in the west and reaching Liaodong in the east.

Lintao is an important military area leading to the Da Yuezhi and Qiang people, and there are usually large troops stationed there.

It's just that the Da Yuezhi and the Xiongnu had a bad relationship. Since the Great Wall was built, the Da Yuezhi never went south.

Therefore, Emperor Shihuang transferred this part of the army to Liaodong to participate in containing King Donghu from going south.

Now the Dayue Clan has changed its strategy, from attacking Shangjun to attacking Longxi County.

Xin Sheng's 20 troops were still on their way to the county, so they took this opportunity to attack Lintao, Longxi County.

At this time, the cold wind was bleak. Although the snow had stopped, the temperature at night was extremely cold.

The torch flickered in the faint light.

Soldiers on the city wall gathered around the torches, hoping to gain some warmth.

At that time, the Qin Dynasty did not have any products such as cotton, so most of the soldiers wore thin clothes, and they even wore sackcloth-bound straw sandals on their feet.

In such a cold weather, no one would expect someone to attack the city, so the soldiers were very relaxed.

Some were only concerned about keeping warm, and even put their weapons aside.

However, what was unexpected was that under the pass, groups of Da Yuezhi soldiers approached quietly.

These Da Yueshi soldiers were wearing furs. Although they did not have the excellent equipment of the Qin army, they were warmer than others.

Especially in this cold night, they are more flexible than Qin Jun.

When thousands of people gathered under the pass, they stagnated and began to stand still.

As time passed, the Qin army on the city wall could no longer bear the cold, and people left the city wall one after another, hid in the corner, and hugged each other to keep warm.

At this moment, under the night sky, the Da Yuezhi officer waved his arms to signal the soldiers to move.

A soldier of the Dayue clan, seeing the officer's order, immediately took out the prepared rope and tied a wooden fork that looked very strong.

Taking a deep breath, he waved the rope a few times in his hand and threw it towards the city wall.

Soon, the ropes were carried on the walls of the city wall.

Da Yuezhi soldiers climbed carefully along the rope.

During this process, they seldom made a sound, and even the sound of individual feet slipping and falling was drowned in the howling cold wind.

But there were also soldiers who couldn't help being afraid. During the fall, they uttered screams, which alarmed the Qin army on the city wall.

"Enemy attack!! Enemy attack!!"

The awakened Qin Jun shouted loudly while picking up weapons to resist.

However, on the city wall at this time, it can be seen that there are very few soldiers, and they are not opponents of the Da Yuezhi soldiers at all.

Just as the soldiers of the Dayue Clan were fighting against the Qin army on the city wall, a group of Qin people in black quietly approached the city gate, and then joined forces to open the city gate.

"Come on!!"

"Kill them all!!"

The moment the city gate was opened, a shout that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly sounded from the snow outside the city gate.

I saw countless Da Yuezhi soldiers, riding war horses and waving weapons, rushing towards the city gate.

At this moment, before Qin Jun, who was sleeping, could react, he was chopped down in a pool of blood by the cavalry of the Dayue clan who rushed in.

Inside and outside the Great Wall, flames shot up to the sky, and the sound of fighting kept coming and going.

Tens of thousands of Yuezhi troops, like locusts crossing the border, launched a bloody massacre on the villages near Lintao, including Lintao City.

For a while, floating corpses were everywhere, like hell on earth.
