My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 486 Meeting
Life is a casino, and every situation in a long life is also a casino.

As long as it is a casino, winning or losing will be unpredictable.

But fortunately, I will always be the one on the bank. No matter how big or small the cards are in my hand, as long as I use them well, I can increase the chance of success.

Fusu also knew very well that the current Qin State was not the one-spoken hall of the Legalists, let alone the world of the old nobles of the Qin State.

Based on Lu Buwei's years of political wisdom, coupled with Ying Zheng's early years of opening up his voice and attracting outstanding talents from all over the world, he accumulated political experience.

The current Qin State is the most authoritarian and closed era, and it is also the most democratic and open era.

The connections and resources of the Six Nations were Fusu's trump card.

Now it seems that Fusu made the right bet.

The officers and soldiers of the Qin Army are not all overheated people. Many of them are far-sighted and aware of the shortcomings of the military merit system.

Everyone left, and Meng Tian stayed alone.

"Of the generals in our army, only General Meng can invite him."

"It's just that this matter needs to be discussed in the long term and acted upon when the time comes. The generals in the tent today are just pretending to be convinced, but in fact they are very opposed to my words."

Fusu did not respond.

When you become the object of support of the anti-war people, then look at the court and see who will support the main war fighters. Fusu didn't have to guess at all.

Meng Tian was naturally puzzled.

"I heard that there was a very wise man in the state of Chu. He served as a minister under the king of Chu. The world respectfully called him Nangong."

This was what Fusu was waiting for.

"There is such a person." Meng Tian looked at Fusu's expression and couldn't help but said, "If the prince respects him, the general can invite this person for the prince."

Fusu had also dealt with many courtiers, and there were many people who were willing to agree with his words because of their own interests, but Meng Tian stood by him because of justice.

Fusu would never have to doubt that Meng Tian would be harmful to him, and Meng Tian would never think about whether the prince was taking advantage of him.

Decisions made by rulers based on the interests of the people often end up being used as tools for political power struggles.

"No matter what I do, General Meng will always be there to support me."

"No. Let's wait until the war is over." Fusu was worried.

If there are people who advocate war, there must be people who are against it.

This makes Fusu and Mengtian's relationship very dull, but they trust each other very much.

"The prince is right, of course the general will support him."

"Prince, your remarks today are really wonderful! People are the end, not the means. War exists for people, not war for the sake of war."

Because when he put forward his idea of ​​​​reforming, Fusu realized that the conflict between himself and Ying Zheng was probably going to become irreconcilable.

"Nowadays, many officers and soldiers in the army will do anything to achieve military glory. No matter how others view this matter, Meng Tian will definitely stand behind the prince and support the prince."

Meng Tian smiled and said, "Prince, this is in the military camp. When the prince said such words, only half of the people were dissatisfied with your words. This is already a great joy. If there are three ministers and nine ministers sitting in the court, there must be more I support your proposition, Prince.”

Seeing that the prince was very embarrassed and even a little painful, Meng Tian suggested, "Prince, why don't you accompany the prince to play chess today. Almost everyone in the army is playing this game now."

"But I have never met this Nangong. How can the prince say that I can only invite him if I go?"

"You will understand when we meet."

Meng Tian looked down at the ground, reluctantly accepting this errand.

"I also heard that there is a treasure land called Peixian County at the junction of Wei and Chu. There are many heroes there."

Meng Tian's eyes widened, "Pei County? This general is so ignorant." "Hey, I also heard from an expert from outside the world. He said that Pei County will be the place where emperors will emerge in the future."

Meng Tian was greatly surprised, and then immediately revealed a fierce look in his eyes, "Does the Crown Prince mean that there will be rebels in Peixian County in the future?"

"almost."

"Then why don't we strike first?"

"That's what I mean too. I have decided to go to Pei County myself."

Since it was the prince's decision, even if it was against common sense, what could he do but comply with it.

"Then when does the prince plan to leave?"

"I plan to go to Peixian County after meeting Nangong. Then return to Xianyang."

"The prince is so interested in Nangong of Chu. Does he plan to invite him to the court?"

Fusu laughed helplessly, "These worldly masters came out at the right time and settled on the right tree. The king did not appoint them, but they used the king's power to realize their ambitions."

"I don't have full confidence in letting him come to my side to help me. But if I can ask him to give me some advice and answer my confusion, I will be very satisfied."

After hearing this, Meng Tian just sighed, "The so-called courteous corporal means the prince. This Nan Gong should be in Shouchun City now. The last general will inform General Li and ask him to treat this person well in the name of the prince." "
-
The next day, the Qin army officers came to Fusu's tent again.

Feng Wuze stood up immediately, "Prince, the war is not over yet. Talking about the purpose of the war now is like discussing what color cloth should be weaved in summer in winter. I think the prince ordered the destruction of Chu State first ”

After a night of careful consideration, Feng Wuze felt that the prince was a bit unrealistic.

The prince is afraid that he has forgotten the fundamental thoughts of Qin Legalism.

Human nature is inherently evil.

Human instinct is to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. There are so many civilians in the army, who would be willing to give up easy-to-get achievements for the benefit of some unrelated people.

The prince is digging his own grave.

Everyone also stepped forward to agree.

Tu Wei was so angry that he couldn't sleep all night. How could such good military achievements just fly away?

"Yes, Prince, the most important thing is to destroy the Chu State. We can't show mercy to these Chu State troops. Once we let them go back, if the king finds out, he will definitely punish us. The Prince is so kind-hearted, how can we bear to watch them?" Are we going to be punished by the king?"

Fusu only looked at Tu Wei, "I'm afraid that with the strength of our Qin army, even if we launch an all-out encirclement and suppression campaign, we may not be able to annihilate much of the Chu army. We are now in the corner of Chu State, and there are still a large number of troops on the ground. ”

"The place where the Chu people live is all water, three parts swamp, three parts lake, three parts mountains, and one part land."

"If our Qin army wants to pursue them, I am afraid that even if we march thousands of miles, we may not be able to kill them all."

Fusu did not deny his soldiers the opportunity to make meritorious deeds.

Judging from the historical military strength of the Chu State at the end of the Qin Dynasty, when Wang Jian's 600,000-strong army destroyed the Chu State, the Chu State's troops probably just dissipated and fled everywhere. Wang Jian did not destroy the Chu State's effective strength at all.

If a 600,000-strong army can't defeat them all in a year, how far can you go if you chase 400,000 Chu troops with 300,000 soldiers and horses?

If you take someone's life for military glory, they will definitely fight you to the death.

The generals were not fools, and they could naturally tell that Fusu's words were also for their own good.

Feng Jie said to Fusu, "Since we can't catch them, letting these people go back will also be a threat to Qin."

It is a threat to Qin and disadvantageous to the prince.

Fusu also said frankly, "I'm afraid that if I launch a full-scale counterattack rashly, I will end up with a lose-lose outcome."
