A heavy snow has just fallen, and the sun shines on the snow, reflecting a dazzling white light.At this time, farmers, merchants, and herdsmen all stayed at home, because everything was covered with snow, and it was impossible to go to the ground, graze, or travel.But when everyone was at home, groups of cavalrymen were training on the grassland fifty miles outside Shangjun City. Following an order, all the cavalrymen rushed forward in a row of fifty cavalry. Wherever the war horses went, the snow scattered and flew like a rainbow.

Twenty platoons of cavalry rushed across the snow like mountains and seas, and what remained on the spot were the pieces of loess turned up by the horseshoes and the dead grass on it.A thousand cavalry roared past and rushed for nearly five miles before they were reined by the knights and stopped in front of a group of people.They are Fusu, Mengtian, Zhang Liang and other civil and military officials in the county.

"The horses are good horses carefully selected from tens of thousands of war horses and horses robbed from the Huns, and the people are the most elite cavalry in our army. The combination of the two is really extraordinary." Zhang Liang looked at The group of knights admired sincerely.

"It's just that the knights are wearing heavy armor. If even men and horses wear armor, I'm afraid their strength will be even higher." Meng Tian also said.

Fusu laughed and said: "And when we are on the battlefield, we don't rely on the knights' riding skills to maintain the battle line, but use chains to connect the horses together, and the knights don't have to put too much energy in controlling the battle. Immediately, the lethality will definitely be even more powerful."

"But if a man and a horse are all wearing heavy armor, can the horse stand up?" Zhang Liang was still a little worried.

"These war horses are all selected out of a hundred. Their muscles and bones are far superior to ordinary war horses, and their function is only to destroy the enemy's formation, not to fight on the battlefield for a long time. You can support it." Although Fusu had no idea, he still said confidently.

Meng Tian on the side clicked his tongue and said: "If we had this armored cavalry in our army, I'm afraid we would have killed all the Huns who will invade in the future. It's a pity that they can't fight for a long time. Otherwise, with this thousand people, we will be defeated." There is no enemy on the plain."

"Everything has its advantages and disadvantages. How can such a powerful cavalry be able to attack the enemy destructively and entangle with the enemy for a long time? I have calculated that if this cavalry is charged on the battlefield for more than a moment, it will definitely kill people and horses. They are all exhausted to death." Han Xin said, "But I am afraid that there is no army in the world that can resist their impact for a moment."

"Our secret training today should be very fruitful. It is not in vain to lead troops out in such a cold day. Let the soldiers take off their armor and go back to the city." Fusu said and led everyone to the direction of Shangjun City.At this moment, Fusu saw a confidant who was staying in Shangjun galloping towards him. He hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Why did you come here? Did something important happen in the city?"

The man hurriedly jumped off the horse and said: "Prince, someone from Xianyang City suddenly sent a letter, saying that it is a peace agreement from the imperial court."

"Where is the letter?" Fu Su felt very surprised. Although he and Hu Hai had not had conflicts in recent years, it was only because his wings were not yet fully developed and a surprise attack was unsuccessful so he did not want to provoke them. Zhao Gao is the two people in the world who want to die the most, why would they send someone to negotiate peace with him today?

"The letter was still in the hand of the envoy, and he insisted that he would hand over the letter only after seeing the prince, so the subordinate immediately came to Hucheng to look for the prince." The soldier jumped onto the horse again as he spoke.

"Did you say I'm out of the city?" Fusu looked at the cavalry behind him who was taking off his armor. He didn't want people to know that he had such a powerful secret weapon in his hand.

"I only said that the prince took his men and horses out of the city to hunt, so the envoy didn't have to ask too many questions."

"That's good. You and I will go to the city first to meet the envoy to see what he has to say." Fusu turned his head and said to Meng Tian, ​​"General Meng, you all follow behind me, and I will take Xianyang Everyone who comes here can enter the hall and then lead the army into the city, remember to let the soldiers put the armor in an inconspicuous position." After making arrangements, Fusu wanted to follow the soldiers to Shangjun, and suddenly Zhang Liang said : "Prince, let me go with you, maybe I can ask something from him."

Thinking of Zhang Liang's wise plan, Fusu readily agreed with him to enter the city first.

When Fusu came to the city, he saw a middle-aged man dressed as an official standing at the gate of the city anxiously walking up and down under the hostile eyes of the guards.Fu Su jumped off his horse, walked up to the man and said, "Who are you, and whose order did you come to see me, Fu Su?"

As soon as the man saw Fusu, he hurriedly bowed down and said: "Xiaguan Zongzheng Wang Feng has seen Prince Fusu."

Fusu knew that Zong was the official in charge of the emperor's relatives or foreign relatives, etc., but he couldn't remember who held this official position. He thought it was reappointed by Hu Hai after he took the emperor's position, so he said indifferently: "Wang Please, Zongzheng, follow me into the city and talk about it later."

Seeing Fusu's calm and majestic expression, Wang Feng couldn't help feeling a little afraid of Fusu.He was originally just a steward in Hu Hai's mansion, but after Hu Hai became the emperor, he became one of the nine ministers in the court, which made him very proud.And his acquaintance with Fusu was still in Huhai's performance when he and Fusu were fighting for the crown prince. In his opinion, Fusu was a cowardly and gentle person, but seeing him today made him realize that Fusu was also a A monarch with the arrogance of a king.In addition, seeing the hostility of the city guards towards him, Wang Feng did not dare to be careless, and followed Fusu to the lobby step by step.His actions were all in the eyes of Zhang Liang who was following behind, and he could be sure that this person was not really capable.

"The next official is entrusted by the emperor and Prime Minister Zhao to come to the prince to discuss whether the two sides can turn the conflict into a jade silk. This is a letter written by the emperor himself. Please see the emperor as a brother of the emperor. Daqin for me agreed not to be an enemy of the imperial court any more.” As soon as he entered the lobby, Wang Feng took out a roll of yellow silk from his bosom and handed it over.

Fusu took the letter, but did not open it immediately, but asked: "Hu Hai said that he wanted me not to be an enemy of the imperial court for my brother's sake. I don't know why he didn't send troops for my brother's sake that day. How about cutting me to the county?"

"This is just the emperor's impulsiveness that day, and I hope the prince will not hold grudges, and isn't the prince safe? Now that there are rebels everywhere in the world, the emperor knows that the prince is also a member of my Daqin, so naturally he must first eradicate those rebellious officials and thieves Of course, the minor festivities between the emperor and the prince are nothing compared to the major events in the world." Wang Feng said with a smile.

After hearing this, Fu Su already knew that it was Hu Hai who wanted to make peace with him because of the threats to him from the insurgents from all walks of life, so he said: "I have to think about this matter, after all, Hu Hai once sent a large army to attack I went to the county, and I led troops to conquer several counties and counties. The conflict between us cannot be resolved with a few words. Wang Zongzheng should stay in the post and rest for a night."

After Wang Feng left, Fusu opened the silk letter and read it. It was nothing more than the brotherhood between himself and Hu Hai, and Hu Hai's debt to the army sent to attack Shangjun a few days ago. It is hoped that Fusu can send troops to help him fight against the rebels in Qi, Zhao, Chu and other countries, and at the same time promise a lot of benefits to Fusu, including after defeating these countries, he will recognize Fusu's sovereignty over the current counties and counties and promise He was named Taiwei, one of the three princes, and so on.Seeing Fusu laughing again and again, he never expected that Hu Hai would send him such a letter, and he would actually say it sincerely.At this time Zhang Liang came over and said, "Prince, can I read the letter?"

Fu Su handed over the letter indifferently, Zhang Liang read it once, then closed his eyes and thought for a while and said: "Hu Hai's purpose this time is actually not to want the prince to submit to him, and to fight against those traitors together with him. He also knows that the prince will not put aside the hatred between the two sides so easily, and his purpose of sending people here this time is to let the prince stop being his enemy and send troops to attack him."

"Then what is his purpose for doing this? It is true that we have not fought each other in the past few months. Isn't it superfluous for him to do this?" Fu Su asked a little strangely.

Zhang Liang returned the letter to Fusu and said, "If my prediction is correct, this should be a sign that Hu Hai wants to use troops against others. He wants to use troops against a certain force, and he is afraid that the prince will take the opportunity to lead troops. He went to attack his rear, so he wanted to resolve the conflict with the prince. In fact, he just wanted the prince to no longer treat him as an enemy. After he got rid of the person who had to deal with it, he would definitely use troops against the prince again. "

"What Mr. Zhang said is unreasonable, but how can he be sure that I will not use troops against him after agreeing to his suggestion?"

Zhang Liang said with a smile: "This is due to the impression the prince has left on him all the time. The image of the prince's honesty and benevolence has always remained in his heart. Even if he is now an enemy of you, he still believes that the prince is based on Daqin. The world is the most important thing, once you agree to reconcile with him, you will naturally not come out and instead."

"This is an opportunity, and I have already guessed who he wants to send an army to attack. It must be Chu Guoyi, who is now internally divided." Fu Su slammed the table, "Why don't we pretend to make peace with him? When his army is exhausted to fight the Chu people, I will take advantage of the false attack to enter Xianyang, and I am worried that my strength is not enough to capture Xianyang."

"On the one hand, I also thought of a method that can make the prince's reputation great, and it will surely make the prince gain both the false and the real." Zhang Liang came to Fusu and whispered a few words to him.

"Okay, let's do it like this. Hu Hai still thinks I'm a pedantic Fusu, so I'll make him regret it!" Fusu said, looking at Zhang Liang and laughing.
