Fusu walked slowly in the city of Shangjun. At this time, the city was full of ruins after the war.In order to deal with the siege enemies, some houses had to be demolished and used as rolling logs, and some houses were shot through by powerful arrows from outside the city, but fortunately, there were not many casualties among the people.However, the soldiers defending the city suffered heavy casualties.Because the battle has just ended, the place where the wounded were placed during the war has not been completely cleared, and there are still many wounded soldiers lying in the simple resting place by the roadside.

Seeing all this, Fusu felt that he had harmed them, maybe they would not suffer so much if he was not around.Li Heng, who was walking beside him, saw Fusu's expression, and also guessed his thoughts: "Prince, as the saying goes, you won't die in one battle, so you don't have to take it too seriously. Hu Hai and the others are going against the law, even if you don't, sooner or later Someone will oppose it."

"That's right, if I don't rebel, someone will rebel." Thinking of this, Fusu felt better, and turned to Li Heng and said, "Pass my order, we must try our best to help the people suffer losses. Wounded soldiers should also try their best to heal them. At the same time, those who died in battle should be buried properly, that's all we can do."

Li Heng nodded hurriedly and said, "I'll give you an order now. Prince, you haven't rested for a few days, so let's rest in the clubhouse now."

Fusu agreed, and said: "Let's have a celebration banquet today, but I won't be there, so you and General Meng will comfort the soldiers on my behalf." After speaking, he walked towards his residence.

This time, Fusu slept for six hours before waking up, and when she woke up, she saw Xiaotao looking at her beside the bed. "Prince, are you awake?" Xiao Tao said happily.

"Hmm." Fu Su stretched his waist, "What time is it?"

"It's almost time now."

"What? I slept all night?" Fusu asked in surprise.

"Yeah, the prince is really tired." Xiaotao smiled and handed the cloth for wiping her face to Fusu.

"You can find Li Heng and Meng Tian later, we need to discuss how to deal with the aftermath." Fu Su wiped his face and said to a guard beside him.Then he turned his head and asked Xiaotao: "Have you been scared these few days?"

"Xiao Tao was not frightened," Xiao Tao shook her head and said, "Xiao Tao is only worried about the safety of the prince, and she is afraid of you..."

"Don't worry, my prince has so many guards guarding him, so what danger could he be in?" While speaking, Fusu continued to do push-ups without interruption.At this time, everyone was familiar with his strange movements.

After a while, Meng Tian and Meng Tian came. "Is the prince sleeping well?" Meng Tian asked as soon as he came in.

"Very good. Has General Meng calculated the losses of our army and the losses of the enemy?" Fusu was not polite when they met, and went straight to the point.

"A total of 2 people were killed in Shangjun, and more than 1 people were seriously injured. The others were fine. The casualties in Beidi County were much smaller than those in Shangjun, with only nearly [-] casualties." Meng Tian obviously understood the battle completely. gains and losses.

"That means we lost nearly half of our troops in this battle." Fusu said sadly.

"But the imperial court's losses are much greater than ours." Li Heng comforted, "Only more than 2 people in Beidi County fled back to Xianyang. As for our Shang County, we also wiped out nearly 6 people."

"As the saying goes, if you kill 15 enemies, you will lose [-]. We were able to kill [-] enemies and only casualty about [-] soldiers, which is considered a big victory." Meng Tian also said.

"But we can't afford to lose. When the imperial court sends another large army, we won't have so many troops to resist."

"Prince, please rest assured. After this battle, the morale of our army has been greatly boosted, and the prefects from various places who were originally dissatisfied with Hu Hai may also fall to our side. At the same time, the imperial court's 20 horses are already the largest that can be produced so far." Power is gone, at least this year, they should not be able to attack us anymore." Li Heng also said.

"I hope so. Let's go to the various armies to see the soldiers." Fu Su led the way out of the room, Meng Tian and Meng Tian quickly followed after seeing them.

Just when Fusu and the others began to reorganize the army and recover after the war, Zhao Changke returned to Xianyang with [-] defeated soldiers.

Zhao Gao's mansion.

"What do you want me to say about you?" Zhao Gao looked at Zhao Changke, "If 10 people attack a city with less than 5 people, they won't be able to take it down. You still want to be a Taiwei in charge of our Qin army? I I see you are an idiot talking about dreams."

"My lord, it is true that I underestimated the enemy this time, and fell into Meng Tian's trick. If I meet him again next time, I will definitely defeat him." Zhao Changke drooped his head like a defeated rooster.

"Is there a next time? With 10 horses, you have only 2 horses. Do you think the emperor will give you another chance? This time, I am afraid that dismissal will be light, and it may even kill you .” Zhao Gao said angrily.

"Big...Brother, you have to save me." As soon as Zhao Changke heard that his life was in danger, Zhao Changke knelt down in front of Zhao Gao, and didn't ask him to call him by the family name anymore.

"What do you want me to say, hey." Zhao Gao looked at him and said, "Now my Zhao family can really touch the core of power in the court, you and I, if you are really killed or expelled from the court , I will be alone. But don't think that I can really cover the sky with one hand in the court. Don't look at me now that I am under one person and above ten thousand people. I have put Li Si in the sky prison. People who actually want to deal with me There are still many people around. They may take advantage of this defeat to trouble me, and now they must hand over the guilt of defeat to others."

"Your Excellency, what do you mean?" Zhao Changke looked at Zhao Gao very seriously. He was just a general, and he didn't understand some battles in the court at all.

"Now you can only find a scapegoat. When you see the emperor tomorrow, you will be the first to accuse him of being Fusu's spy, and say that the failure this time is because he reported the general situation to Fusu." Zhao Gao said with an authentic expression.

"Then who is good?" Zhao Changke has no idea now, and will only follow Zhao Gao's arrangement.

"Pang Wanyou, the deputy general in your army, is a ready-made one. Do you understand what I mean?"

"But there must be evidence to say that General Pang colluded with the enemy, otherwise some people may not accept it." Zhao Changke said worriedly.

"It's not easy to get the evidence, I will ask someone to do it. As long as you remember, when you see the emperor tomorrow, you must insist that Pang Wanyou is a spy. That's why the army failed. Do you understand?" Zhao said. Gao stared at Zhao Changke and said coldly.

"I...I understand." Zhao Changke felt a cold sweat break out all over his body.

Looking at the back of Zhao Changke leaving, Zhao Gao said to himself: "I can't make any mistakes now. Although Li Si has entered the sky prison, I still can't get rid of him. It seems that he still has power in the court. I want to use it." This is an opportunity to find out his power that I don't know about in the court."

After that, everything happened as Zhao Gao expected.Zhao Changke insisted in front of Hu Hai that it was Pang Wanyou's collusion with the enemy who leaked the news that led to the defeat of the battle, and someone found a letter in Pang Wanyou's house that he and Fusu colluded with each other, and his personal soldiers testified. It was found that he had contact with the people sent by Fusu.Everything was so impeccable, so Pang Wanyou was sentenced to be broken into cars, and his whole family was also beheaded. As for Zhao Changke, he was only scolded and fined for one year's salary.But the people in the court knew very well that Pang Wanyou was just a scapegoat, a pawn Zhao Gao used to keep Zhao Changke's car, but they couldn't say it, because the evidence was solid, you spoke for him, Zhao Gao Gao can take the opportunity to say that you and him belong to the same party, and everyone has to play it safe.

However, the failure of this battle did not wake up Hu Hai, but made his behavior even more heinous.Because of Pang Wanyou's so-called collaboration with the enemy, he carried out another purge in the court, leaving fewer loyal and patriotic people, because those people used to be somewhat inclined to be more humane. Those who helped Su, with their departure, the court has been completely controlled by a group of flatterers and Zhao Gao's confidantes.

Hu Hai's determination to destroy Fusu would not be changed just because of the failure of these two armies. He called Zhao Gao again this day. "Zhao Qing, where do you think we can send troops to deal with Fusu now?"

Zhao Gao thought for a while and said, "There is no longer any army around Xianyang, and now we have to go to the Central Plains."

"But the Central Plains is the hometown of the Six Kingdoms. I'm afraid that once the soldiers and horses are transferred, they will make trouble again." Hu Hai said in embarrassment.

"Emperor, I don't know which one is the real worry in your heart, Liuguo or Fusu?"

"The Six Kingdoms have been wiped out for more than ten years, and their power should not be as strong as before. Fusu has just raised an army, and his power is growing step by step. It seems that my real confidant is Fusu. ” Hu Hai said slowly, “Okay, then 30 people will be dispatched from the Central Plains, and I will annihilate Fusu in one fell swoop.”

"The emperor is wise, as long as he sends another 30 troops, it will be like Mount Tai's top, and the little Fusu will be smashed to pieces." Zhao Gao immediately flattered him.

So a series of imperial edicts were issued from Xianyang, ordering each county in Zhongyuan to send out thousands or hundreds of strong men, so that they must rush to Taiyuan before December, and then use Taiyuan as a foothold to launch an attack on Shangjun. Anyone who is late will be punished.

So all counties and counties in the world began to recruit people, and people all the way rushed to Taiyuan County day and night, but because of the last mentioned one, the latecomers had to be beheaded, which led to the historical Chen Sheng Wu Guang Uprising broke out more than half a year earlier. And with the outbreak of this uprising, the remnant forces of the six countries that originally held great hatred for Daqin also stepped onto the stage of history once again. It seems that Daqin is going to perish faster than in history.
