Qiang Qin

After Fusu sent the army away, he returned to Xianyang City with Chen Ping and Zhang Liang, but he still wanted to lead his troops to fight on the northern frontier and wipe out all the invading Huns. remove.Chen and Zhang accompanied him, and they quickly saw his thoughts. In fact, they knew Fusu's thoughts very well, and under the persuasion of them and other courtiers, Fusu finally agreed not to go to war. .Looking at Fusu's appearance at this time, both of them knew that Fusu must still be brooding over this, and in the end Zhang Liangxian said: "Is the emperor still thinking about going to the north with the army?"

Fusu forced a smile: "Yeah, it's not that I can't trust General Meng and the others, but I also want to do my best for Daqin, thinking that I am the emperor now, but I can only hide in Xianyang. I feel ashamed." He sighed again and again.

Chen Ping said on the side: "The emperor is now concerned with the safety of our Great Qin and the Central Plains. How can we take risks lightly? If there is a mistake, the peaceful situation that countless soldiers exchanged for their lives will disappear again. At that time, the world will live forever." It's about to suffer again, how can the emperor bear it? The Xiongnu barbarians are just a group of thieves who rely on force to plunder. Han Xin and Meng Tian, ​​two top generals of our Great Qin, came out, and there were more than [-] troops. Those Huns Definitely let it go.”

This statement may be used to prevaricate those kings who are completely ignorant of history and are very happy, but for Fusu, who knew that the Xiongnu would exist for hundreds of years, this statement is obviously outrageous.If the Huns were really so easy to deal with, Qin Shihuang would have wiped them out instead of just sending Meng Tian to drive them away, and then build the Great Wall.But to say this is to increase the ambition of others and destroy his own prestige, so Fusu had to argue from another angle, although he knew that this time the northern attack on the Huns was completely useless: "I remember that before my Great Qin ruled the world, the monarchs of all countries He also often personally brought troops to confront the enemy, otherwise many monarchs would not have died in battle. How come the monarchs at that time were not afraid of danger and dared to take risks?"

"..." The two of Zhang Liang were stunned at the same time, they really couldn't think of a reply to Fusu's words, because Fusu's words were justified.However, Chen Ping quickly found an explanation: "How can the emperor be compared with the monarch at that time? The monarch at that time could only govern hundreds of miles, and the generals under his command were limited. If the monarch does not go out in person, it is even more impossible to obtain The battle has been won. But now the emperor is the lord of the world, he is in charge of the safety of the world, and he has good generals. If the Xiongnu and other thieves come out, of course it will be done by the courtiers." After saying these words, Chen Ping sighed , he himself couldn't help admiring that he could find this reason to persuade the emperor.

Fusu smiled when he heard the words, he knew that these were just excuses, and there must be some reason why all the ministers agreed not to let him lead the army, so he shifted his gaze to Zhang Liang: "Zi Fang, I have a lot of trust in you, and I am not a foolish king who commits crimes because of his words, so you can tell me the reasons that even the prime minister dare not say, so that I can be convinced."

Zhang Liang was stunned for a while, then he glanced at Chen Ping, seeing the embarrassment on his face, he knew that Fusu would not give up until he knew the real reason.After weighing it for a while, he still decided to speak out their real concerns. Firstly, he believed that Fusu’s behavior was just like what he said, and he would not add crimes because of his words. Secondly, he felt that Fusu should also understand the truth. , so that he will think of this when the same thing happens in the future. "Your majesty is the emperor of our Great Qin Dynasty, and now he is the lord of the whole world. There must be no mistakes." The previous words were not different from what Chen Ping said just now. Fu Su raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhang Liang, obviously I'm a little dissatisfied with him.Zhang Liang hurriedly continued: "If the emperor goes to the border, it will be an incentive for our army, but at the same time it will put a lot of pressure on the soldiers. May I ask if the emperor has something beside these soldiers?" Mistake, even if the emperor doesn't blame them, I'm afraid they will also face my elders in Daqin. And after the emperor arrives at the border, those generals Meng, Han, etc. who could directly issue orders will first ask the emperor's opinion. At that time, the battle opportunity may be delayed because of this, and it will be very detrimental to our Great Qin's resistance to the Xiongnu. Therefore, after discussing with the prime minister and other adults, I decided to dissuade the emperor from going to the northern border. It is disrespectful for me to think about the emperor. Please also The emperor condemned me, but please understand the painstaking efforts of the ministers and others, and sit in the city of Xianyang as the backing of our army." At the end, Zhang Liang immediately got down and knelt down in front of Fusu, waiting for his fate .

Seeing Zhang Liang tell the real reason, Chen Ping was also very disturbed. Although Fusu had always been lenient to his courtiers, Chen Ping had seen Fusu mercilessly punish Li Heng, a person who betrayed him. Regarding the matter of killing, I don't know if Fusu would be angry because they kept it from him, so he also jumped off the horse and knelt down with Zhang Liang.

Fusu was stunned for a while, and then smiled: "So that's the reason. I never thought of this, and now I think that the soldiers who come to the frontier where I am will indeed spend a lot of effort to serve me. I'm afraid I really know how to fight. It seems that it is better for me not to go, so that they can deal with the Huns with all their strength." Speaking of this, Fusu couldn't help laughing when he saw the two men kneeling in front of the horse: " What's the matter with you two, I said just now that I won't add crimes because of my words, so now I will go back on my word? Don't forget that I am the emperor, you are joking. And your concerns are also right. In order to be able to win, I really do It's better not to go. Get up." After waking up the two, Fu Su said solemnly: "But I still want to remind Erwei Aiqing that if you have anything to persuade me in the future, you can only speak the truth. , don’t make any more detours, I’m not the one who doesn’t listen to advice, I just want to tell my ministers frankly. Do you remember?”

Chen and Zhang were really happy and ashamed when they heard Fusu's words, they said in unison: "The minister leads the decree, from now on we must tell the emperor directly, and we dare not hide anything."

Fu Su nodded in satisfaction: "That's right. To be a wise king, I must start by being good at accepting advice. Listening to both will make you bright, and listening to one side will make you dark. Think about Mrs. Tang..." Fu Su suddenly stopped talking at this point, I remembered that Li Shiming, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, would not appear until thousands of years later, so I couldn't say it all at once.

However, Chen and Zhang were attracted by Fusu's words, and they never noticed his slip of the tongue. After a while, Zhang Liangcai said: "If you listen to one sentence well, you will be clear, and if you listen to it, you will be dark. How can the emperor be a wise king and deeply plow the Holy Lord?" I understand it, and I bow to you." Chen Ping on the other side also agreed.

Fusu just chuckled, feeling a little embarrassed that he had stolen the famous saying of "predecessors".

The three of them talked all the way, and returned to the front of the palace without knowing it, and then parted, Fu Su went back to the palace, and Zhang Liang and Zhang Liang rushed back to their respective mansions.On this day, Fusu once again learned what he should pay attention to when he is an emperor. He decided to take the eight words he blurted out just now as his criterion for being an emperor, so that he can make fewer mistakes and become the one who can truly make Great Qin Zhongxing. A generation of Mingjun.

If he wanted to become a Ming emperor and rejuvenate the Great Qin, Fusu still had a powerful enemy to deal with, and that was the Huns who had been attacking the city in Yunzhong County.Several days have passed. Although the Huns are much stronger than before with the command of the day shift and the simple siege equipment, they are still unable to face the Yunzhong City, which has 8 or [-] troops stationed. Take it quickly.When they first invaded the Central Plains that day, they took Yanmen County in one fell swoop by relying on a surprise attack. It was because the defenders there were unprepared at first, and they were not used to the Huns with siege equipment, so they took it easily. But now The cloud is quite different.No matter what method the Huns used to attack the city, the Qin people who defended the city could always put out targeted defensive measures at the first time. In this way, the two sides started fighting on this not too tall city wall, but The result was the same as before, the Huns couldn't attack, but the Qin people who defended the city couldn't take advantage of it, so they couldn't defeat the enemy.

The constant consumption of time is nothing to the Qin people, and they can even wait for reinforcements to arrive, but it is unbearable to the Huns.After all, they didn't loot too much food and grass from other places. Seeing that even the dried meat they brought with them was about to run out, the cloud still stood there, which really discouraged the Huns.In addition, remembering that their relatives on the grassland were still waiting for him to grab the food and go back, the soldiers of the Huns became even more impatient. If they hadn't ordered that the city must be taken down because of their momentary anger, they would have changed their goals long ago. up.

The leaders of the various tribes originally wanted to follow Maodun to fight to the Central Plains to make a fortune, but these days, they only saw their own tribesmen die in battle, and the food they brought was eaten, but they couldn't make any achievements. As a result, they really couldn't follow Maodun anymore, so they came to see Maodun together on this day, asking him to give everyone an explanation, and at the same time persuaded him to give up the cloud city that had been invincible for a long time, and find another better place. A city that is easy to capture, otherwise they will take their own people away and let Maodun fight the Qin army alone.

In fact, at this time, Mao Dun had already felt remorse in his heart. It was only because of his face that he had to continue to be attacked by others. He had a feeling that riding a tiger was hard to get off, and this had something to do with his face as the Great Chanyu.Now that these leaders said so, Maodun had a step to give up the city, so he immediately agreed with the opinions of the leaders and decided to evacuate this place.

But at this moment, Bai Ban raised an objection: "Shan Yu, you can't retreat at this time..."
