Qiang Qin

Updated: 2011-03-04

It was winter, and the temperature in Xianyang City was getting colder day by day, and fewer people came out of the city, but the Qin army who patrolled and maintained the safety of the capital did not dare to be negligent.When they walked through the middle street, they saw a fast horse galloping straight towards the palace. The strong wind caused by the horse galloping past them even blew their skirts.Several Qin soldiers hurriedly hid aside, seeing that the knight on horseback dared to gallop in the city of Xianyang, and looked dressed in conscript clothes, they knew that it was a scout from the northern frontier with news about the enemy Xiongnu. They had already seen There have been too many of them.Although ordinary people are prohibited from galloping fast in Xianyang City, those who have urgent military affairs are not included in this list.

The knight came all the way to the gate of the palace, dismounted and handed a scroll of silk books and a copper token to the soldiers who were guarding there: "There is important news from the north, and I hope that some adults can deliver this Go in and present it to the emperor."

After the few people saw the token, they knew the identity of the person who came, and someone led him to rest aside, while someone held the silk book and went to the expert.The scout who summoned the messenger can't leave now, who knows if the emperor will let him enter the palace to ask for news after reading the news.

At this time, Fusu didn't think about the situation in the north, because not long ago, he already knew about the great victory in the Yueshi capital, the Lanshi City. If they wanted to hit the Huns so hard, they couldn't attack the grassland again in a short time. What damage did the Qin army on the ground cause?And along with the good news, apart from the gratitude of the Yuezhi people, there was also Zhang Han's request for the army to return to the border town temporarily.Because the climate on the grassland is getting worse and worse, and the snow has been falling for a long time, Qin Jun can't adapt to the environment there, and wants to go back to cities such as Yunzhong to rest and wait until next spring. After opening, a new attack on the grassland was launched again.Now that he has achieved a great victory, Fusu certainly will not reject this request, and being on the grassland in winter is really unbearable, so he immediately ordered Zhang Han to bring back all the Qin troops on the grassland. Rest and recuperate in the border city, waiting for the coming year.Calculated now, these Qin troops should have returned to the Central Plains, and of course there will be no problems.So during this period of time, what Fusu cared about was only that the people in all counties and counties could survive this winter smoothly, and he didn't care about the border affairs.

So when Fusu received this silk letter, he was also very puzzled.Since it was a letter sent from the border, Fusu naturally had to read it first. After reading half of it, Fusu couldn't help showing a smile on his face. He put the letter on the table and said loudly: " Come, hurry up and summon Prime Ministers Chen, Lord Zhang, General Han, General Meng and others into the palace with me, and tell them that I have something important to talk to them."

Those servants had long been used to the emperor calling those four people into the palace whenever he had something to do, and they hurriedly agreed and went.In less than half an hour, the four of them hurried into the palace. They still had a hint of puzzlement on their faces, not knowing why the emperor suddenly asked him to enter the palace.After seeing all four of them came in, Fusu said with a smile: "Everyone must not know why I asked you to wait to come into the palace today, in fact, I have a great news to announce." He suppressed a bit while speaking. I was a little excited, "The Xiongnu's troubles that caused my Great Qin to lose troops and make people displaced have finally subsided!"

"What?" The four couldn't believe it at first, but when they realized that Fusu was definitely not joking, they all had smiles on their faces. They had been waiting for this day for a long time.Then the four of them stepped forward and knelt down at the same time: "I wait to congratulate the emperor!"

Fusu smiled and ordered the four people to stand up. He never thought about the tenacious Xiongnu people in the real history. The Xiongnu people who killed Han Gaozu Liu Bang was almost captured in Baideng Mountain and made the border unsafe for nearly a hundred years after the Han Dynasty. He actually solved it in his own hands, which couldn't help but make him excited.But Zhang Liang still hesitated, and after hesitating for a while, he asked, "How did the emperor know about this? The Huns are scattered in every corner of the grassland, how could they be wiped out?"

Fusu smiled and said: "Zifang, you are wrong. The Huns have not been destroyed, but their threat to our Central Plains no longer exists." As he spoke, he took out the silk book and asked his servants to hand it over to Zhang Yuan. In front of Liang and the others. "Zhang Han ordered the scouts to send it to the palace at a speed of six hundred miles a day. Everything I said was clearly written on it. You all have to take a look."

After reading the contents of the silk book, the faces of several people were also happy. If they were not afraid of losing their dignity in front of the king, the four of them would have laughed out loud.Chen Ping nodded again and again and said: "God bless me, Great Qin, I didn't expect that the emperor and his ministers had just discussed a plan to get rid of Maodun and make him the leader of the Huns, and he died, and he died at the hands of their own people. In this way, even if there are Huns who complain about his death, they will only think of those who killed him, not us Qin people."

"Yes, this will inevitably lead to further aggravation of the internal contradictions of the Xiongnu. Moreover, from the letter sent by General Zhang Han, it can be seen that there is actually a group of trusted men and horses alive in Mouton. If he wants to take revenge, the Xiongnu Grassland may not be able to live in peace." Meng Tian also said with a smile on his face.It has not been a day or two since he fought against the Huns, and he has a deep hatred for them. Now that he knows that they have suffered such a catastrophe, he has no choice but to make him happy.

Fusu said: "That's right. In this way, the idea we thought of taking advantage of the Huns' civil strife to restrain their further development can be achieved. Now we just need to watch the fire from the other side and see which side of the two sides is weak, and we will give it to them." With help on the one hand, the Xiongnu will always be in a situation of splitting and fighting. At that time, through these help and transactions, we can gradually form control over the Huns. In this way, we don’t need to send any troops, no With a lot of money spent and without losing many soldiers, this enemy that has plagued our Central Plains for nearly a hundred years can be eliminated. From then on, the people on our borders no longer have to worry about the enemy’s invasion. It’s a great joy.”

Several courtiers repeatedly said yes, Zhang Liang looked at Fusu, his heart was full of admiration, because the few words he mentioned just now were for the Great Qin, for the soldiers and the people, but none of them meant that he thought he would go down in history. "Perhaps this is the reason why I am willing to plan everything for the emperor wholeheartedly, because he has the people in his heart, and only such a person is worthy to rule the world!"

After Fusu was happy, he said: "But we can't forget those people who died in the battle on the grassland. I want to commend them, and I want to throw their heads and blood for these people who are my Great Qin. The good men who built a monument to let the future people know that there are heroes like them! As for the living warriors, I will reward them well and let them return to their hometowns!" At this point, he looked at Chen Ping: "Prime Minister, I have entrusted all of this to you."

Chen Ping hurriedly agreed loudly, and he was also moved by Fusu's words. Unexpectedly, the emperor did not even forget those soldiers who died in the battle. This is indeed what a wise king did.

Then Fusu discussed with the people how to take advantage of the chaos on the grassland to make a profit, and then he decided to tell the ministers the good news when he came to court tomorrow morning, and everything has been settled so far Fusu also sent the four of them out of the palace.But Fusu was also a little negligent because of his excitement, that is, since hearing the great news, Han Xin, who has always been very active, surprisingly didn't say anything. Reluctantly, except for the congratulatory words at the beginning, he just listened to everyone.

It wasn't until after leaving the palace that everyone scattered back to the residence and Han Xin was riding on the horse that his face became gloomy.Unexpectedly, the last enemy has already been defeated, so he will not have any good opportunities to make meritorious service in the future.Although his current status in the court is not low, and he is trusted by Fusu just like Zhang Liang, Meng Tian and others, but the wish in his heart is still not fulfilled. He is thinking about going further, the best In terms of military merits, he can surpass Meng Tian, ​​who has been with Fusu the longest, so that he can become under one person and above ten thousand people in the court.But now with the civil strife of the last enemy, the Huns, I am afraid that this idea of ​​​​myself will no longer be realized.Thinking of this, Han Xin couldn't help sighing a little bit disappointedly, and urged the horse to go to his mansion.

All over the court, even in the entire Central Plains, only Han Xin would have such an idea when he heard the news. When Fusu announced the news in the court hall, people all over the world rejoiced and cheered for the world. Taiping was very happy. Of course, the next method of dealing with the Huns was not announced to the world. Fusu only said that since then the Huns could no longer threaten the survival of the people in the Central Plains, and the enemy chieftain Maodun had died.

In fact, Fusu didn't know that when the news of Maodun's death spread on the grassland, there was another thing that was very beneficial to him, that is, Bai Ban and Ji Du, who had been making suggestions by Maodun's side. , The person who caused great trouble to the people of the Central Plains was also killed by the remaining soldiers under Mao Dun's command at that time.Of course, until this time, Fusu didn't know that these two people played such a role in the battle between Maodun and Daqin, so he was not more happy, but their killing was no less beneficial to Daqin than Maodun. Dayton was killed.
