Qiang Qin

Updated: 2011-02-13

Early the next morning, Fusu met the person who wrote something different from others, and believed that he should use trade with the Huns instead of soldiers.He has already read the name of that person, but he can't think of such a person named Chao An in history, but because the current history has undergone tremendous changes because of himself, so Fusu is no longer superstitious What a historical figure.But when he saw that this person was only in his twenties, he was still taken aback, and even doubted whether the opinion was really put forward by this person.

When Chao An saw the aloof emperor, he also felt a little nervous. After seeing the ceremony, he stood with his hands silently and dared not speak.Fusu glanced at his reserved appearance, amused in his heart, and said: "You are that Chao Cuo? It is because you think that the idea of ​​using large soldiers to suppress the Huns, and even destroy their entire clan is not feasible?" There was also a bit of sternness, as if he was very angry at the remark.The purpose of Fusu is to see if this person is really talented, and he will not be surprised when he is questioned like this.

Chao An was stunned for a moment, but immediately replied respectfully: "Caomin is indeed Chao An from Yingchuan. Yesterday the emperor personally asked me to write my own opinion on how to deal with the Huns. Caomin is only based on facts. And writing, I hope the emperor will forgive me."

"It turns out that you also know that you are guilty, so tell me what crime you have committed?" Seeing that Chao An was able to answer his own questions very quickly, Fu Su admired it, but there was no expression on his face. Follow his words and continue to ask questions.

"The Caomin talked about the court's decision indiscriminately, thinking that the court's current behavior is inappropriate, and it is really a big mistake." Chao An knelt down while speaking, "But the Caomin's words are also for the future of my Great Qin."

"Oh? How do you say this? Tell me carefully, if you can satisfy me, I won't pursue your fault."

Chao Ang paused for a while before he spoke: "Although the current situation seems to be that we, Daqin, have the upper hand in the confrontation with the Huns, and the Huns have been greatly weakened by internal and external troubles in the past two years, It is true that there is a possibility of extermination, but in fact it is not. It is difficult for the tens of thousands of horses sent by my Daqin to completely wipe out the Huns on the grassland. If they find out, they will go far away, and when our troops leave, they will return, and then our army will be able to deal with it. This is one of them. Once the army cannot get supplies from the Huns, It is bound to fight for a long time on the grassland. Once they have the intention to retreat, the Huns will take the opportunity to pursue them. At that time, these troops will be in danger. This is the second. Even if the army returns to the Central Plains, because of the defeat in this battle, they will In the future, the Qin army will no longer have much confidence in fighting deep into the grassland. At the same time, the Huns will hate our Qin people. Not only will they not be able to destroy the Huns, but they will arouse their hatred, and the gain will not be worth the loss. This is the third. With these three points, the grassland people think that our Daqin really should not send troops to the grassland. Even if the Huns can really be wiped out, there will be other tribes in the farther north. At that time, the grassland will still be dominated by foreigners, and we Da Qin spent a lot of troops but only changed an enemy, it is really not advisable." Having said this, Chao An stopped talking and lowered his head to wait for Fu Su's words.

Hearing these words, Fusu was deeply moved. Yes, he thought things too simply because things were going well all the time. He didn't think that sending troops to the Huns would have many disadvantages.How many famous generals in history sent troops to the Huns, although many of them made great military exploits, but the Huns remained the same.And Chao Ang's last sentence reminded Fusu that the nomads in the north have always been the great enemy of the Central Plains dynasty in history. It is indeed a bit taken for granted that everything can rest in peace after the destruction of the Huns, and it can even be said that he is ashamed of himself, a person who has traveled through time.

When Fu Su felt ashamed, Chen Ping and Zhang Liang were also very ashamed. In fact, both of them understood what Chao An said, but the longer they were officials, the less they dared to be together. Fusu expressed his thoughts in front of him.The two looked at each other, and both felt that they were really old.

Fusu nodded: "What you said is somewhat reasonable. It is true that the Xiongnu cannot be wiped out with a large army from the Qin Dynasty. I am indeed a little too hasty. Then tell me how to use the trade method , so as to prevent the invasion of our Central Plains by the Huns, and prevent the people on our border from being killed by the Huns."

"Ah?" Chao An was surprised when he heard that Fusu would admit his mistake in front of all the courtiers, but he is a person with profound talents and knowledge and he is not good at eloquence. "The emperor's ability to admit mistakes is indeed a wise monarch, and the grassroots are very admired." Then he began to answer Fusu's words: "Actually, what the Huns invaded our Central Plains was only asking for food, cloth and other things in the Central Plains. If we You can send one person to the grassland to meet the Huns, and propose that Daqin is willing to openly trade goods with them on the edge of the grassland, and I think those Huns will not refuse. What's more, the Huns have never met before. After the difficult situation, I will not reject the trade idea proposed by Daqin. When the trade between the two sides is fully mature and the Huns can buy everything they want through the market, even if their vitality recovers , I don’t think those Huns are willing to use their lives to snatch ordinary things that they can get through trading. So the grassroots think that this matter will be successful, no matter what attitude the Huns have towards my Daqin now, None of them will sit back and let such an opportunity slip away from them."

Fusu nodded frequently, appreciating his opinion: "Chao Ang, you are indeed a person who knows everything about the situation in the pleasant environment, and even the situation in the grassland. It seems that the imperial court has found a talented person to start a department this time." You are an outstanding person." Speaking of this, Fusu's tone became serious: "Chao Ang listened, because you just took the scientific examination, I couldn't break the rules and make you a member of the Jiuqing, so I made you an admonishing doctor." Official position, you will report to the Secretary tomorrow, and you will take care of it in the future, but if there is any wrong move, you should raise it in front of me, and I will not blame you whether what you say is correct or not."

"Cao Min... Your Majesty... Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chao An didn't expect that what he said didn't make Fu Su angry, but gave him such a big official position. He was very excited and kowtowed repeatedly.

Fusu smiled slightly: "Go and make arrangements now, and the imperial edict will be issued tomorrow." After Chao Ang left happily, Fusu ordered his servant to continue sending the remaining candidates' papers from yesterday, and he and his people to review together.After reading several similar articles with minor differences, Fu Su said to Chen Ping and Zhang Liang: "You two go out with me for a walk, loosen your muscles and bones, it's too tiring to sit here all the time." Chen and Zhang Liang People knew that Fusu had something to discuss with them, but he didn't want other officials here to know, so he said he wanted to go for a walk, so he hurriedly agreed and walked out with Fusu.

The spring has gradually become stronger, and Fusu looked at the new shoots on the tree for a long time before saying: "Look at the expression on your Er Shicai's hearing Chao An's words, you two have already had this idea." With a silent look, Fusu continued, "I know that as the time for me to become emperor continues to lengthen, the distance between our monarchs and ministers will also continue to lengthen, dear king. But you two should know that you and Meng Tian, ​​Han Xin and others all followed me from Shangjun to Xianyang. You have always been my most trusted subjects. I hope that from now on, you will not hide what you have in mind, I said that day that I will not commit crimes because of my words."

Chen and Zhang were ashamed, they both bowed and said: "I will keep this in mind."

Fusu sighed and said, "If it weren't for this Chao An today, I am afraid that the matter of the Huns would not be settled. I would not have discovered that there is such a big gap between you and my monarch and ministers." , I really miss the time when you were able to speak freely when you were still in Shangjun." Seeing that Chen and Zhang wanted to plead guilty again, Fu Su waved his hand to stop them, "Okay, everything is over. In fact, this is also because of my You just don’t want to offend me because you’ve been too assertive recently.” After saying these few words, Fusu felt much relieved, and planned to take them back to the palace.

At this moment, Chen Ping spoke up: "I saw that the emperor valued Chao An so much, so it was okay not to leave work, but since the emperor wants us to tell the truth now, then I will speak directly. Chao An Although what he said is reasonable, it is not really a good way to solve the relationship between the Xiongnu and our country of Qin. He also just wishful thinking that trade can prevent the Huns from invading, but in fact this is just a scholar's opinion."

"How do you say that?" Fusu stopped when he heard this, and looked at Chen Ping, thinking that he was dissatisfied because he saw how he promoted Chao An.

Chen Ping didn't realize what Fusu was thinking, and replied: "The Huns love to fight by nature, and there are not too many goods from my Daqin that can be used to trade with the Huns, and the Huns' own things are even more important." There are fewer, so it is very difficult to use the law of trade to prevent the Xiongnu from invading our Central Plains."

Fusu thought about it carefully, and felt that what he said was reasonable. He had indeed neglected the current level of productivity. Now the productivity of Daqin is only enough to feed the people of his own country, and the surplus food and other things are really pitifully small. To meet the needs of the Huns. "Then according to what you mean, what should we do?"

ps: The plan can't keep up with the changes. Originally, I thought it would be over by destroying the Huns, but the book friend Yiqi Hongyi pointed out that this is unrealistic. I thought about it, so I decided not to follow the original idea, and then another Think of other ways.So this book will be serialized for a while~~~~~~
