The Summoning World of the Great Qin Empire

Chapter 1217
Fusu nodded slightly: "I heard that there is something called cold melon in the Western Regions, which is very suitable for eating in the hot summer. After soldiers eat it, it can resist the hot weather."

"Isn't this the same as chili peppers, except that chili peppers can resist severe cold, while cold melons can resist heat." A girl's voice came in.

Fusu turned his head and saw the eldest princess Yingying, nodded and said, "Exactly."

"I pay homage to Your Royal Highness the Eldest Princess!" Zhou Shi hurriedly saluted, and Zhang Qian also hurriedly bowed his hands.

Fusu waved his hand, and Yingying, who had already grown well, knelt down and sat down. Fusu continued: "I haven't paid attention to this problem before, but when I was preparing for the southern expedition, I discovered a very serious problem. Lay it out in front of me."

"The army in my imperial court is already used to the climate in the north, but once it arrives in the south, the weather is hot, non-combat attrition is very large, and it is very common for soldiers to suffer from heat stroke. If this problem is not solved first, I am afraid The Southern Expedition is also a dream."

When he first faced this problem, Fusu hadn't thought of cold melon, which is what people in the market often call watermelon, but no one in the Central Plains has seen this kind of thing these days.

Now that he met Zhang Qian, Fusu thought of watermelon.

Zhang Qian's face was serious: "Students are willing to go through fire and water to find cold melons for the emperor!"

Zhou Shi cupped his hands and said, "I heard that the people of the Western Regions were defeated by the Xiongnu tribe on the grassland a few years ago. Why don't you just send the Huns to conquer the west and directly include the Western Regions into the territory of the Great Qin?"

When Zhang Qian heard this, how could he still have a chance to show his face in front of the emperor, but Zhou Shi had a high position and power, so this kind of thinking was just an underestimation in his heart.

"Almost [-]% of the cavalry of the Xiongnu are in our Great Qin Army, and the north cannot recruit manpower." Fu Su thought for a moment, and now he is not only the emperor of the Central Plains, but also the emperor of the Great Hun Empire.

"Zhang Qian, I have appointed you as the envoy of the Great Qin Dynasty to take two thousand Hun cavalry to the Western Regions. I hope that in the spring of the coming year, you can bring back the seeds of cold melons and plant them by the hot springs near Xianyang City."

"I...will live up to the holy hope!" Zhang Qian was so excited that he was shaking all over. This is simply a great opportunity to make his name in history, and anyone would seize it tightly.

The people of the Dayue Clan and the people of the Western Regions are most afraid of the Huns, who have been chased and hacked by the Huns all the time. If Fusu hadn’t been born and Maodun had defeated the Dayue Clan, he would have conquered Donghu, and by then it would have been established. The powerful Hun Empire.

"Order the Xiongnu's Qilian Mountains Department Yu Wenhua and send out manpower to go forward together!" the emperor continued.

Ever since He Sheng exploded, Yu Wenhuaji became the leader of a certain Xiongnu tribe. Later, Fusu discovered that all the tribal leaders on the grassland had been registered in the Grassland Office, and Yu Wenhuaji was also there.

So it was very easy to find Yuhuahua and its location in the Qilian Mountains. Originally, this was supposed to be the territory of the Huns Youzhuri King, but after Maodun surrendered to the Great Qin, all the Huns princes were completely abolished and changed to the title of general. Most of them served as generals under Mao Dun's command.

After all arrangements were made, the court of Qin State was free. As for Wang Mang and He Sheng, who had been arranged to go secretly to Chu State for a long time, they had already arrived at the Mangrove Forest Military Village by sea boat.

Large areas of ice floes have already begun to appear in the Bohai sea area of ​​Hulucheng in the north, and it may not take long for the sea to be completely sealed off.

The natural climate is the most terrifying opponent in this era. Anyone can only submit to his power, even the emperor is no exception.

After Jia Xu read the court's edict, he nodded slightly and said, "This is a good idea. Now I'm heading towards Daying on the north bank and Dantu Water City on the south. It's like fire and water. Sporadic conflicts often occur, but people on both sides Well restrained."

"Then when can we go south to Chu State?" Wang Mang asked directly, ignoring Jia Xu's complaints.

Jia Xu thought about it for a while: "One or two days sooner, four or five days slower; my current relationship with Chu State is not as good as before, and I need to get in touch with Wang Meng in Dantu City to ensure the safety of the two of you."

"Everything here depends on the adults." He Sheng cupped his hands and said.

"This is also a matter of my duty. Guangling City is now hoarding heavy troops, and Dantu City is also hoarding heavy troops. Not only can this person not sleep well, but Wang Meng can't sleep well either."

"Ha ha……"

After all, the three of them couldn't help laughing.

He Sheng and Wang Mang went to rest in the city lord's mansion, while Jia Xu ordered the guards to find Li Shunchen, and explained the court's plan to continue the alliance with Chu and conquer Shu.

"So the top priority now is to contact Wang Meng."

Li Shunchen raised his remaining arm, "Don't worry, my lord, the general will go here, and I promise to contact Wang Meng tomorrow morning."

"Be careful." Jia Xu nodded and said, "The relationship between me and Chu State is already like fire and water. If you are not careful, a full-scale war will break out."

"Here!"

Li Sunshin nodded and left the room.

Jia Xu stroked the beard on his chin, his face was thoughtful, but he didn't know what was going on in his heart.

Sure enough, on the second day, Li Sunshin came with bloodshot eyes.

"It's done. The southern side of Chu State asked us to send people there tonight, but the number of people should not exceed one hundred. If there are more than one hundred, we will shoot them all."

This was roughly within Jia Xu's expectations. If Chu State wanted to secretly send him as an envoy, he would do the same.

"Very good, you go and arrange the manpower, and I will inform the two envoys right away." Wang Mang nodded and said, and Li Shunchen retreated.

"The two adults are so elegant."

Jia Xu came to their room and saw that they were playing chess, she couldn't help but said with a smile.

Wang Mang and the two hurriedly stood up and saluted.

Jia Xu said: "The matter has been settled. The state of Chu asked us to cross the river tonight, and the number of people should not exceed one hundred. I have already sent Li Shunchen to arrange the manpower."

"It's not necessary." Wang Mang said with a smile: "When we went to the Kingdom of Shu back then, Master He Sheng and Meng Hu from a thousand households of Jin Yiwei came out. That's all, sir, just send a few people who are familiar with the nature of water, and wait for me to cross the river."

"This..." Jia Xu was a little bit reluctant, Wang Mang was his aide before, and the relationship between the two was good.

Wang Mang said seriously: "My lord, don't worry, I won't take my life as a matter of course."

"Okay then, you guys take a break now and leave in the middle of the night."

The two happily cupped their hands: "Here!"
