My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 411: Real Poverty (I wonder who can understand this chapter title)

Early the next morning, the sun shone on the ground, dispersing the fog that passed through the forest, and Funiu Mountain loomed in the distance.

Dew still hangs on the branches and leaves, the sound of tinkling river water can be heard in the distance, and the smoke from the military tent has risen gently.

The soldiers had already started to get up early for drills, and the flags in the military camp were fluttering quietly in the breeze.

Outside the camp, Fusu was patrolling the camp in armor, followed by Wang Bi, Meng Tian and others.

Every time an army arrives, a captain will stand up leading the captain.

Fusu could only select a part of the 400,000-strong army for inspection today.

There are three thousand people in the honor guard for this trip.

All of them are equipped with long swords and crossbows, and their hair buns are all tilted to the left. The closer they are to Fusu, the more extraordinary and handsome they are. Such an honor guard naturally highlights Fusu's identity.

The reason why he carefully prepared extravagant scenes and personally visited the camp was to boost his image in the minds of the army's sergeants.

Then a slight resonance broke out among the soldiers.

"Nonsense, that's because the prince is the king's eldest son."

"You don't understand this. A father and son are going into battle. Your Majesty is in the palace, and he is sending an army of 400,000 people out to fight. I don't trust whoever I choose. It's better to let my own son go into battle."

"Hey - I don't think so."

Everyone looked at the soldier in surprise.

At the end of the line, a few people couldn't help but whisper.

They are all upright and vigorous men, and they are not close to women. Their courage has been sharpened by the cold wind, bitter rain, and bloody battlefield in this foreign place.

"The king has so many capable generals under his command, why did he choose the prince? He looks younger than us. Can such a person command an army of 400,000 to fight against Chu?"

As Ren Xiao said this, he turned around and yelled at the brothers behind him, "Brothers, what do you think of the wine the prince gave you yesterday?"

"That's right."

"I think so."

With so many people gathered together, not to mention shouting slogans that make people's hearts beat. Even if they don't say anything and just ride by on horseback, they feel majestic.

Ren Xiao saw that Fusu was in a good mood today, so he took the opportunity to say, "The prince gave wine to all the soldiers yesterday. All the officers and soldiers in the army are grateful to the prince."

Fusu rode a horse and walked at the front of the team. Wang Ben, Ren Xiao and others accompanied Fusu and seemed to be chatting and laughing.

The soldier narrowed his eyes, looked at Fusu from a distance, and said seriously, "I don't think so. I think it's because the king thinks the prince is handsome."

"it is good!"

"So what do you think?"

"It makes sense!"
-
At the front of the team, the generals were surrounding Fusu.

The soldiers in the army all burst out with the same voice.

"You said that the king has so many sons, why does he prefer the prince the most? He always gives the most important tasks to the prince."

The soldiers were waiting in full formation. All the Qin soldiers had their buns tilted to the left and their skin was dark and yellow. Because Qin had sufficient food, all the soldiers were strong.

The wave of sound was like arrows shot from all directions, hitting Fusu's ears.

Fusu just smelled the sweet smell of grass in the air, and he knew that these people didn't get a drop of wine yesterday, let alone taste it.

Fusu just smiled at the soldiers.

Just when Ren Xiao was feeling happy, he heard Fusu say, "When patrolling the camp, we look at the soldiers. I'm afraid the soldiers don't know that they are not happy eating and drinking. If you want to give wine, you must give it to everyone." In the hands of one person. If you want to listen to the voices of the soldiers, you must listen to the truth."

Everyone's expressions trembled, and they didn't dare to vent their anger.

Ren Xiao's expression suddenly turned grim. Fusu didn't say much during the rest of the journey.

When they returned to the big tent, Ren Xiao and others were all broken into a cold sweat.

Fusu got off the carriage, handed the riding whip into Feng Jing's hand, and said to everyone, "The ones in this army that bear the greatest risk of death are the siege echelons and the assault squads; they work the hardest but rarely get any military merit." It is the patrol guards who work hard every day to ensure the defense and safety of the entire army. It is the common people at the bottom."

"These three types of people should be the most deserving of rewards. The wine given yesterday will be divided according to yesterday's method, and the wine given today will naturally be divided according to today's method."

Everyone was solemn and respectful, stood with hands down, and followed Fusu.

This bowl of wine can be a big or small matter. It all depends on what Fusu means.

"Zhang Cang——"

Zhang Cang heard the sound and immediately emerged from the team without knowing where he was. He walked to Fusu with broken steps.

"Meet the prince."

"I'll leave it to you to give the wine this time."

Before Zhang Cang could answer, he felt a chill running down his spine, and dozens of pairs of eyes were staring at him.

Zhang Cang wiped a handful of sweat from his forehead. The prince, isn't this bringing all the trouble to his head?

However, Zhang Cang was not afraid, and he still accepted the task very stubbornly.

"Because of the prince's trust, I will distribute the wine given by the prince to everyone's hands fairly."

All the generals looked at Zhang Cang and laughed.

Meng Tian had heard of Zhang Cang's name a long time ago. It was said that the prince liked him very much and allowed him to enter the Hengyang Palace without reporting.

"The last general has always heard of Zhang Yushi, and seeing him today is indeed extraordinary. He has an extraordinary posture and a majestic appearance. No wonder the prince likes him."

Zhang Cang was said to be quite embarrassed by Meng Tian, ​​why did he tell so many truths in front of so many people.

"This Yu Shi Cang is a strange person. He once studied under the famous Xun Qing."

When these generals heard Xun Qing's words, they immediately felt something.

They asked each other, "How do I remember that Wei Ting also studied under Xun Qing?"

"No."

"So, Zhang Yushi can be regarded as Tingwei's junior brother."

Everyone was talking around Zhang Cang.

As everyone knows, Fusu raised Zhang Cang's worth in the army with just these words.

Having Tingwei Li Si, a man with real power, serve as Zhang Cang's background, which is better than his thousands-word introduction to Zhang Cang in front of the ministers.

First, Zhang Cang and Li Si come from the same family. Provoking Zhang Cang is not only a loss of face to him, but also a loss of face to Li Si.

Secondly, Zhang Cang and Li Si were taught by the same person, and they were Fusu's junior uncles. His talent may not be inferior to Li Si's. Considering Li Si's talent, Zhang Cang's future is limitless.

For a soldier to become a captain of an army, he must rely on his courage; but to become a captain of an army, he needs the ability to be flexible and command decisively.

But to become a general, you must understand people's strategies.

The generals who accompanied Fusu had more than a hundred clever minds in total. They understood what Fusu hinted at them, and they understood what he didn't hint at.

All the generals surrounded Zhang Cang and praised him in various ways.

Only then did Zhang Cang understand Fusu's intentions. The prince was setting up a platform for him to facilitate his future work in the army.
