My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 387 The prince thinks twice (please book all monthly tickets for reward!)

Meng Wu: "The Art of War says: Know yourself and your enemy and you will be victorious in any battle. The prince has already fought against Xiang Yan, and this time he fights again. Xiang Yan from the Chu State learned that our Qin State has changed its commander, and that we have all the chariots, horses, food and grass available, and the attack is fierce. It must be fully prepared.”

"I'm afraid I'm going to say something that the prince won't like to hear. Xiang Yan of Chu State will not be as careless as last time and leave room for the prince to kill him. What I want to say is that this time Qin Chu The war was actually a contest of national power between Qin and Chu, and it was a hard and fierce battle."

"The prince does not have to rush to answer this question in court. The person who really needs the answer to this question is the prince himself."

"This is the first time that the prince has led troops to attack a huge country, and the soldiers leading the enemy's soldiers have been well-trained. The enemy general is a person who puts the survival of the country first in critical moments."

"Our Qin army was defeated by the Chu army this time. Although the Qin army was proud, the Chu army Xiang Yan and the entire Chu country were united and shared the same hatred and the same enemy. They must not be ignored."

Meng Wu actually used a different method to make Fusu highly interested in the war against Chu.

Because of this battle, if it loses this time, Qin may be unable to recover.

People from the Six Kingdoms were never the only ones who criticized Qin’s system. The senior officials of Qin State know these truths better than anyone else.

Meng Wu's words immediately resonated with the conservative people in the court.

They feel that Li Xin is enough to explain the problem, and the old is still the hotter.

There are also some older people who understand very well the meaning of the saying that people's hearts are unpredictable. Some people may have thought about taking care of their father's worries before leading the army, but once they left Hangu Pass, they would make other plans.

He would rather take risks than give the opportunity to Fusu instead of Wang Jian.

The pressure this time was truly unprecedented.

It can even be said that as long as an individual is faced with the temptation of huge power, betrayal is really a normal thing.

"Wei Chen thinks that the battle ahead has been defeated, but we, Qin, still insist on the great cause of unifying the world and will never give up until we complete this mission. So Wei Chen thinks that it is not meaningful to consider this result now. If it is Wei Chen, , we have already taken ninety-nine steps, even if we take the last step, we may not be able to achieve our goal. But I still have to take this step."

It is difficult for a person to always be consistent in his thoughts before and after the event.

Thinking about the outcome of Lord Wu An, perhaps letting Prince Fusu lead the army was the most reassuring decision for the king.

If considered from a comprehensive perspective, the prince really has no military command advantage over Li Xin.

Li Si finally stood up.

Each minister had his own worries, and only a quarter of them were willing to support Fusu unconditionally, because they believed that Prince Fusu had some destiny in him; others were observing words and deeds to figure out Ying Zheng's intentions. They will never let go until Ying Zheng changes his tune.

Fusu also lowered his head and looked at the ground.

Even if the prince's troops would definitely be defeated, they would still have to go to war with Chu.

At this point, the two prime ministers in the court and even the ministers all remained silent collectively for a rare moment.

"I think that General Meng is right. Prince, please think again."

Because this time Qin Wangzheng gave them the feeling that the king was gambling.

After hearing this, all the ministers felt that what Li Si said was reasonable.

Ying Zheng listened and heard that except for Fusu himself who had confidence in him, most of the courtiers did not recognize Fusu this time.

However, it is an army of 400,000 people after all.

After retiring from the court, the officials were still discussing the prince's plan to attack Chu when they left the palace.

Someone raised an objection, "That's not right. How can I calculate it over and over again? The 400,000 troops will use 420,000 stones of food and grass in a year. Why does the prince want 700,000?"

"There will always be losses when transporting grain and grass along the way. Calculate it down. If you send 10%, there will be 10% less on the way. When you get to the army camp and set up the stove for cooking, how much will it cost. And the more food and grass there are, the more soldiers will lose. Have confidence."

"So, our Qin State is fully armed this time." As the ministers said and listened, they were all worried about Prince Fusu in their hearts.

After experiencing Li Xin, who would dare to use the young genius prince now. That’s why the king is so bold.

But at this time, news of the errand that Fusu had given Guan Fu and Yao Guang came back.

When Qin had just lost to Chu, King Jian of Qi finally succumbed to the power of Qin after repeated excuses.

Fusu's diplomatic victory not only brought a little life to the dull Qin court and gave the ministers some confidence; it also proved with a practical action that he could control the situation.

Time passed like a fleeting moment as people waited numbly and helplessly for a long time.

The depths of winter have gone, and then comes the beginning of spring.

It’s almost the New Year, and regardless of the Chu, Qin, and Qi countries, they have all stopped fighting.

Both Qin and Chu stopped military movements with a tacit understanding.

The sunshine of spring has not yet arrived, but the strong sun in these eight or nine days has melted the snow on the top of Xianyang City.

Accompanied by the jingling of carriage bells, two canopied carriages staggered through the side door, winding along the way to the gate of Hengyang Palace.

Fusu is sitting in the Cardinal's Pavilion. This time to deal with Xiang Yan, Fusu plans to give Xiang Yan a taste of some new and innovative things that transcend the times.

After Fusu left, the craftsmen in the Cardinal's Pavilion were not idle. On the premise that Fusu provided them with various new weapon patterns, the craftsmen have assembled and experimented and are now putting them into assembly line production.

It’s just that compared to the big project Fusu is currently working on, the others are not enough.

Fusu kept a dozen alchemists in the Cardinal's Pavilion, all of whom were alchemists.

Since Fusu came back, Mrs. Gantang could hear a loud bang coming from the Cardinal's Pavilion almost every day.

But Feng Wanwan didn't understand at all. She was pregnant, but the prince was busy refining elixirs all day long. One day, there was even a fire in the Cardinal's Pavilion.

She was so anxious that she panicked, but the prince acted as if nothing was wrong.

Feng Wanwan was worried that the prince was under too much pressure and was becoming world-weary, so she wanted to leave.

Feng Wanwan then said to Fusu, "There are really few concubines in the Crown Prince's womb. I intend to accept more beautiful concubines for the Crown Prince, and I'm just waiting for the Crown Prince's approval."

"Concubinage?" Fusu was not interested in this. They are all vulgar.

At this time, the eunuch came back with a message.

"Prince, Chi Wei has escorted Liang Di back."

When the eunuch spoke, his eyes were bright and he was very excited.

Fusu said, "Liangdi is just back. Look how excited you are."

"Back to the prince, Liangdi also brought back a beauty."

Fusu put down the bamboo slips in his hand, "Did I hear you correctly?"

That crazy bitch Xiong Rou would actually bring her a concubine back and leave her behind, which must have made her mad to death. She actually brought her beauty back.

"Prince, it's true. She is truly stunning in the world. As soon as the beauty got out of the car, everyone in the palace immediately gathered around to look at her."
