Qiang Qin

News of the defeat of the Chu army in the three places spread to Xianyang City one after another. Fusu couldn't help being overjoyed when he saw the battle report submitted: "Okay, we tried our best to lure the Chu army to attack, and we also spared no effort to divert the north. All the troops were quickly transferred back to the Central Plains, and all these efforts were finally not in vain, and finally the Chu army suffered a big defeat."

"However, except for Yingchuan's route among the three routes of Chu armies, most of the other two routes of Chu armies have fled back to Chu. Now their military strength has not weakened much, and there should be nearly 8 troops." Zhang Liang But he frowned.

Fusu smiled calmly and said, "This is beyond your control. And our plan when we lured the Chu army to attack this time is to let the Chu army that attacked Yingchuan come in, and then encircle and wipe them out. As for the other two troops, we only need them to break through Hanoi and Handan, and not to support the Chu army in Yingchuan, so even if they return to Chu intact, we will not fail. What's more, after those few battles Afterwards, the two Chu armies must also be seriously injured, and they may not be able to recover for a while. And our army has won a new victory, and its morale is naturally far superior to that of the Chu army. It is time for us to send troops to fight back."

At this time, Chen Ping said cautiously: "Your Majesty, I think it's time to inform the world that the three armies of Chu have been defeated. Firstly, it will boost the morale of our army, and secondly, it will also let the people in Chu know about our Great Qin Army." It's amazing, come three times," he paused slightly at this point, "Three times can also calm the hearts of the people in Xianyang City, so that they will not make random guesses and spread some unrealistic news. I hope the emperor will allow it. "

Fusu asked with some doubts: "The first two words are still in the past, but what do you mean by An Xianyang's people's hearts?"

Chen Ping hesitated for a while before saying: "Not long after the Chu army attacked our Daqin in three directions, all the people in Xianyang City knew about it. It will attack Hangu Pass, and the great Qin's country is about to end. There are still people spreading a word, called... called..." I couldn't say it for a while.

Fusu heard that the people in the city would actually spread these words, and this is still in the capital Xianyang, so wouldn't other counties be even more powerful?Thinking of this, his complexion changed suddenly, from the excitement just now to a little worried, he opened his mouth and said, "What are they preaching? Tell me quickly, I want to hear what they can spread." Feeling anxious, Fusu also Don't call yourself "I" anymore.

Chen Ping opened his mouth, and finally said: "They spread a word, saying: 'Although Chu has three households, if Qin dies, Chu must be!" After saying this, he looked at Fusu, feeling very worried.As Fusu's time as emperor increased, his behavior became more and more dignified. Although he was still very polite to his subjects, Chen Ping was still a little afraid of him.So now that he said these words, he was a little afraid that Fusu would fly into a rage on the spot.

"Although Chu has three households, the death of Qin will lead to Chu!" Fusu repeated this sentence, no joy or anger could be seen on his face, and he said after a while, "This sentence appeared in the time of the first emperor, but look at the current state of Chu. Doesn’t it just take up that little space? And my army is about to march towards them, and in a blink of an eye, the land of Chu can be brought back to my Great Qin. So it doesn’t matter what the people are preaching, the important thing is not to let them really Lost confidence in me, Daqin."

"Yes, yes!" Chen Ping replied again and again, he was finally relieved, but he still asked: "The minister's proposal...?"

Fu Su thought for a while and then said: "Yes, I will issue an edict to the world to spread the news of this great victory to the world." Chen Ping was completely relieved when he heard this, and he hurriedly agreed to retreat go back.But Fusu remembered one thing, and suddenly asked: "Chen Qing, when did you hear the news that the people in the city rumored that my Great Qin would be destroyed by Chu?"

"It was half a month ago. At that time, we were still busy transferring soldiers from the north to the Central Plains. The three counties were in critical condition. That's why the people in the city spread such words." Chen Ping replied.

Fu Su's face suddenly darkened: "Since you already knew about this half a month ago, why didn't I find out until now?"

"This... I am just afraid that the emperor will be too worried, so I concealed the matter without authorization, and I ask the emperor to forgive me." Seeing Fusu's face suddenly turned ugly, Chen Ping couldn't help but feel a sudden change in his heart. Kneel down.

But Fusu was very annoyed. He was in Xianyang city, but he had no idea what the people in the city were thinking or saying. It was only through Chen Ping's accidental sentence today that he found out the truth. You have to pay attention to the attitude of the courtiers towards themselves.Although Chen Ping didn't say it was out of good intentions this time, there is no guarantee that someone will hide some things about himself like him in the future, and in the end completely isolate himself from the outside world and become a real loner, which is similar to some stupid kings in history. It's no different. "No, I can't let these things happen to me. It seems that I should do something." Thinking of this, Fu Su said to Chen Ping flatly: "Get up, I don't blame you, but I I want you to understand that this world is now my world, and I should know what the people of the world think, so I can say anything in the future, whether I am happy or angry, I will not add crimes. But if I If you know that you have concealed it, then don't blame Zhenqing."

"Yes, I obey the order." Chen Ping hurriedly agreed.Seeing Fusu's gaze on him, the other officials also bowed and said in unison: "I will follow the emperor's will."

Only then did Fusu change the subject: "Then you go and spread the news of our army's victory, so that the fear of the Chu people will naturally fade away. But these news must not only be spread in Xianyang City , other counties should also post notices, especially the counties and counties around the three counties, so that the people can feel at ease so that they can devote themselves to production. And there must be remnants of the Chu army near Yingchuan, you guys I also need to search carefully for me, don't let them go back to Chu, let alone let them talk nonsense there and disturb the hearts of the people."

"I will obey the order!" All the ministers bowed in response.Then Fusu discussed with the ministers about the reconstruction of several cities after the war. Of course, there was also the issue of resettlement of the people in the city, especially the Hanoi County, which had suffered from the plague, which was the focus.Zhang Liang suggested: "Your Majesty, according to the usual practice, if there is a plague in a certain place, then we should remove all the people in the city who have not been infected and make it vacant. After a few years, the plague will be gone. At that time Then move the people back and restore everything."

Fusu originally wanted to suggest using vinegar or something for disinfection, but then he thought about how much he has accomplished in medicine. It would be fine if he succeeded, but if he made a mistake, it would cost tens of thousands of lives, so he agreed. Following Zhang Liang's suggestion, another city was built dozens of miles away from Hanoi City to house the people.Discussing some details was very troublesome, and it was not until noon that everything was settled, and the ministers left the palace and returned to their homes.

Zhang Liang and Chen Ping had just walked out of the main hall where they were discussing affairs, and when they were about to leave the palace, a servant came up quickly: "My lords, please stay, the emperor wants you to enter the side hall to have dinner with him, There are still things to discuss."

After looking at each other, Chen Ping and the two hurriedly bowed and said: "I obey the order!" Then they followed the servant all the way to a small side hall located in the east of the palace.As soon as the two entered, they saw that Fusu was wearing a normal uniform, eating with Xiaotao and his son before the case.The furnishings here are all newly made according to the meaning of Fusu, which feels very homely, and the chairs and tables inside are all made by Fusu, not the seats and tables of this era.Although Fusu has been in this era for some time, he is still not used to kneeling every time he sits, especially when eating.So he made the household items in this side hall and used them for eating.

Seeing the two coming in, Fusu just motioned for them to sit down too, while You himself and Xiaotao were still feeding his son.Zhang Liang and Chen Ping were not used to this new style of seating, but since the emperor had signaled, they could only sit down.After feeding his son and Xiaotao took him out, Fusu smiled at the two of them, "It's all my fault that I dote on him a little too much. Now that I don't feed him, this kid refuses to eat. Let the two of you eat for a long time." Wait." He said and ordered the people to bring up the wine and dishes.

Zhang Liang saw that the food and drink were very ordinary, and he knew that although Fusu became the emperor, he didn't live a luxurious life at all, and he was very impressed.After toasting a few glasses of wine, Fu Su said: "Mr. Chen, this place is not the court, so we have to be respected by the monarch and his ministers. Just now at the court meeting, my tone was a bit harsh, and I hope you don't take it to heart."

Chen Ping was a little unhappy when he thought about it, but unexpectedly, Fusu would apologize to him, and he was only grateful for a moment, and he stood up and was about to kneel down.Fu Su hurriedly supported him and said: "Actually, I want all the ministers to understand one thing, that is, as long as I tell you what it is, I will not blame it, but if it is concealed, no matter what the reason is Thoughts are all disrespectful to me, so I will use you, one of the few people I trust the most, as an example."

A few tears flashed in Chen Ping's eyes, and he said loudly: "I know, I will report the truth to the emperor about everything in the future."

Looking at Fusu's performance, Zhang Liang was filled with emotion in his heart. Now Fusu has become more and more emperor-like, and his way of dealing with things has become more and more mature.

Fusu nodded, and said: "You sit down." After he sat back, Fusu looked at the two of them and said, "I asked you to come today because I have something to tell you first, and that is to take advantage of this time. To conquer Chu, I will personally lead the troops!"
