"What the prime minister said is right, since the Huns did not put their troops on the edge of the prairie, we just sent people across the prairie, crossing the territory of the Huns and heading west to the Yuezhi Kingdom." Zhang Liang I also agree with Chen Ping's suggestion.

"Master Yushi knows the location of the Yuezhi Kingdom well, he is really a learned man." Chen Ping praised, "But I don't know who the emperor wants to send to the Yuezhi and the king to jointly deal with the Huns Woolen cloth?"

Fusu looked at the ministers standing below, and began to think in his heart. In terms of resourcefulness and eloquence, Zhang Liang was the best candidate, but he couldn't do without him. It hasn't been long since the founding of the country, and there are still many things that Zhang Liang needs to do. , Chen's help, so Fusu immediately canceled the plan to send these two people there.Then he looked back, and it wasn't until this time that Fusu realized that most of his subordinates were combat-accustomed fighters, and when it came to envoys to other countries, there seemed to be no such talents.For a moment he didn't know what to do, and after a long while he said: "Let's leave the candidate for envoy to the Yueshi at the moment, and make a decision after the news from the grassland arrives."

The officials also understood Fusu's thoughts, so they stopped talking and talked about other things instead.

While Fusu was having trouble choosing the envoy, Zhang Liang came to see Fusu after the court meeting was over.Fu Su looked at him and asked: "Mr. Zhang met me alone because of the mission? I know that Mr. Zhang is the best candidate, but Mr. Zhang is indispensable in the country, so I have to send other people to go."

Zhang Liang smiled and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your appreciation. It's true that this time I went to the palace to see the Emperor alone because of the mission of the Yueshi, but the person I went to was not me, but a friend of mine. His name is Li Shiqi. Although he is over [-] years old and is only a commoner, his eloquence is far superior to that of Zhang Liang. The emperor just asked him to go as an envoy to the Yue family. I expect he will definitely agree. "

"Li Shiqi." Fu Su read the name softly, he felt a little familiar, obviously he should be someone who left his name in history.Since he is a historical celebrity, and Zhang Liang said so again, then this Li Shiqi is obviously a talent.So Fusu asked: "Where is this man now? Can Zifang find him and persuade him to go to the Yuezhi? You must know that going to the Yuezhi is thousands of miles away, and you have to pass through the obstacles of the Huns." .”

Zhang Liangdao: "This person has always had ambitions. Now that he can become famous all over the world, he will definitely not let go of the opportunity to pass it on to future generations. And he is now in Chen Liu's home. As long as I send his family members to pass on the According to the emperor's will, he will gladly go."

Fu Su frowned and said: "Such a talented person, I still want him to work for my Great Qin. Is it too hasty to do so?"

Zhang Liangdao: "This Li Shiqi is an informal person, and this is why I can make friends with him. The emperor just rest assured, I expect that he will rush to Yuezhi alone after receiving the order, and this matter With him on the horse, success is bound to happen.”

Seeing that Zhang Liang was full of confidence, Fusu agreed to the proposal and handed it to Zhang Liang, asking him to take it out of the palace with him. . "If this Li Shiqi really has such a strong ability, then Zhang Qian's feat of traveling to the Western Regions will have happened a hundred years earlier." Thinking of this, Fusu only felt the excitement of creating history, which excited him more than changing history .

Now that the person to go to the Yuezhi has been selected, what Fusu and the others have to do next is to wait for the news from the grassland.But before the news came, Fusu had already ordered the southern army who had planned to rush to the north to send back the original station, so as to prevent the Chu people from taking advantage of the fire and looting.A few days later, Peng Hong, who was in charge of Feige's news, finally received a letter from the grassland. He didn't dare to neglect, so he immediately brought the letter into the palace, and sent the silk scroll that had been waiting for more than ten days to the palace. It's in Fusu's hand.

It was already late when Peng Hong entered the palace, Fusu was giving birth in casual clothes, and together with Xiaotao, he was playing with his son, the little guy was getting cuter now, lying on the couch with his head in Fusu's arms, babbling Shouting, Fusu and the others laughed from time to time.Peng Hong stood quietly on the side, but was still seen by Fusu, who handed his son into Xiaotao's hands, then walked up to Peng Hong and asked, "You must have something important to report to me when you come into the palace. , but is there any news from the north?"

Peng Hong nodded and said: "The emperor is wise, I have indeed received the letter from the grassland." He said and handed a scroll of silk script to Fusu.Fusu hurriedly took the silk book, and read it under the light.After a long while, he raised his head and said loudly: "Come here!" Immediately, several servants walked over quickly and asked, "What is Huang's order?"

Fu Su pondered for a moment before saying: "In half an hour, you will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Taiwei's Mansion, the General's Mansion and the Royal Envoy's Mansion, and call all the adults to the palace, and say that I have something important to do. Consult with each other." The servants agreed and went down.

Peng Hong felt very strange, he didn't know why Fusu asked them to go back half an hour later, Fusu seemed to see the question in his heart, and said with a smile: "Look at this time is when they just returned home. , I have to let them rest and have a meal. Although the matter is important, the courtiers should have a certain time to rest."

Only then did Peng Hong suddenly nodded, and at the same time he was filled with admiration. Unexpectedly, as the emperor, Fusu still treated his subjects as kindly as before, and did not change his attitude because of the change of status.At this time, Fu Su suddenly seemed to remember something, and asked: "Peng Qing, have you ever eaten?" Peng Hong shook his head, and Fu Su said: "Then you can eat with me." After Peng Hongci pulled him away, he sat down next to him, and after a while the waiters brought out the food and wine.

After a meal, even if Peng Hong died immediately to help Su, he would be willing.Fusu didn't know that this ordinary behavior of his would earn such great gratitude from his subjects. This may be because in his bones, the modern soul was still in charge, and he didn't pay too much attention to the difference between the monarch and his subjects.

More than half an hour later, Chen Ping and others entered the palace one after another. As soon as they saw Fusu, Zhang Liang asked with a smile, "Your Majesty, is there news from the grassland?" Their faces were also solemn, they all looked at Fusu and waited for him to tell the story.

Fu Su smiled and said: "Zifang is indeed a fortune teller. I asked you to come into the palace because I just received a letter from the north." Then he handed the silk book to Chen Ping, "Everyone pass it on for a look. Bar."

After several people read it, Han Dao said, "It turned out that it was because people from the day shift suddenly appeared outside Maodun's big tent and almost killed him. In order to deal with his more than 1000 people, Maodun sent all the people in my house to the police station." All the troops on the border have been transferred back. But is it too much of a fuss for him to do so? The enemy only has a thousand people, and as long as 5000 people are sent to wipe them all out, why bother?"

Zhang Liang and Chen Ping looked at each other, and they both knew that the other party had already guessed something. In the end, Chen Ping said: "I'm afraid the matter is not that simple. This time, Mao Dun transferred all the horses back. It should not be the mere Qian Qian." Bai Ban and others who came here are people who are not too obedient to him in the Xiongnu. This Bai Ban’s several harassments and the final raid on Maodu’s tent may have shaken Maodu’s position among the tribes of the Xiongnu. Now he needs to have He used powerful force to stabilize his position, so he transferred all the troops back. Moreover, Mo Dun should not rest assured that the troops of those big tribes are far away from his control."

Several other people nodded frequently after hearing this analysis, expressing their agreement with Zhang Liang's opinion.Fu Su also said: "Zifang is right, I think so too, so tell me what we should do?"

Chen Pingdao: "Although it seems that the Xiongnu will not use troops against us in a short time, we still have to guard against their tricks, so all the soldiers in the north cannot be withdrawn, and our plan to attack Chu It should be moved back."

Fusu agreed: "That's right, and before we join forces with the Yuezhi Kingdom to deal with the Huns, it's better to maintain the current state of balance with the Chu Kingdom."

Although the other people had two generals, Han Xin and Meng Tian, ​​they also thought this was the safest way, so they decided to wait and see what happened.In this way, Daqin gained another period of time to recuperate.

State of Chu, Kuaiji, Xiang Yu's residence.Looking at the battle report sent from the front, Xiang Yu also had a nasty look on his face: "Why did these Huns say that they will fight and stop fighting? They just put their troops and horses around and then they all went back, which made us lose a great opportunity."

Fan Zeng said: "The Overlord doesn't have to feel sorry for this, the changes on the battlefield are always unexpected, and the Overlord should be thankful that he didn't send troops rashly, otherwise we will have to face the elite soldiers of Great Qin alone now."

Xiang Yu sighed, still not regretful, but he also understood in his heart that what Fan Zeng said was very reasonable, the current strength of Chu State is still unable to fight Qin to the death.So he asked: "Mr. Fan, what should we do next? Now there is no chance to fight Qin."

Fan Zeng pondered for a moment before saying word for word: "The only thing we can do now is to wait, wait for an opportunity, and then give the Qin people a fatal blow."

Xiang Yu could only reluctantly accept this was not a solution.

So Chu in the south, Qin in the Central Plains, and the Huns in the northern grasslands are in such a delicate balance. The three cannot send troops for a while, and the people can finally live a few days of peace, but the balance will be different. With the appearance of one person, it was gradually broken.
