Back to Daqin to be Emperor

Chapter 281 Don't attack the land alone, but attack the people
Hearing Fusu's explanation, Shifu's eyes showed suspicion. For him, indeed, using silk to delay the damage of the enemy's arrows seems a bit far-fetched!

It's just that these words came from Fusu's mouth, no matter what, Shifu still believed most of them, which was due to his trust in Fusu.

"Then big brother..."

Before Shifu opened his mouth, Fusu interrupted: "Shifu, I know what you want to say, I can accept these silks this time, but next time, the money and the goods will be cleared."

"This..." Seeing Fusu's refusal, Shifu was a little puzzled.

Fusu said: "The Qin army is the sharp weapon of the Great Qin. If you donate these goods for free, the court will look at you! Why don't you understand such a simple and easy-to-understand principle?"

Fusu's words awakened Shifu. Indeed, if Shifu continues to do so and gives away in vain, it is indeed a dead end. Daqin's army must not be controlled by a businessman, even if the businessman has no such intentions.

"Secondly, Shifu, I will keep you in Luoyang to do great things. You can expand your merchant business with peace of mind. Your caravan is the best. It can be seen everywhere in this world. That is the best."

"Now you use the money you earned to buy these things for the Qin army. Wouldn't it be a big deal for me?"

Hearing Fusu's words, Shifu was a little moved. He never thought that in Fusu's heart, he and his caravan would occupy such an important position.

"Shifu, you should have read the bamboo slips I gave you that day. You can ask someone to take this bamboo slip in your hand and go to Shu County to find Sima Chang and Jiujiang County to find Wu Rui. After they see it, they will find it for you." what is needed."

"There is tea in Shu County, and rhubarb in Jiujiang County. They are all scarce items in the frontier fortress. If you can transport them here, you will be able to make great profits."

Inadvertently, Fusu pointed out a way for Shifu to make a fortune.

Fusu finally warned: "It's just that this matter cannot be extended..."

Before Fusu finished speaking, Shi Fu nodded repeatedly. Although he didn't know much about the affairs of the court, he also knew that once this matter was put on the table, Fusu would definitely fall into a very passive position.

After all, it is inevitable that people will criticize that the dignified eldest son of the Qin Dynasty is hooking up with a businessman.

While the two were discussing, a soldier came and said, "Young Master, General Meng Tian wants to see you."

Hearing this, Shifu resigned very knowingly and stepped aside.

And Fusu also got on his horse and went straight to Fushi City.

Two days ago, Fusu also went to find Meng Tian himself, but at that time, Meng Tian was lying on the bed, unconscious, with no blood on his face.

Fusu also asked the military doctor, but no matter who it was, they kept silent about it.

Fu Su immediately understood that Meng Tian was afraid that the news of his serious illness would be leaked out. Once this news got out, it might cause some people to have different thoughts.

At this moment, as soon as he heard that Meng Tian wanted to see him, Fu Su naturally rushed there without stopping.

Fu Su went straight in, saw Meng Tian was about to get up, Fu Su hurriedly stepped forward to help him.

Meng Tian said: "Young master, I'm sick and haven't saluted. I hope you won't be offended."

"What is the general talking about? The general has served the Great Qin for several years, and he has worked hard. Without the general, the disaster of the barbarians would have spread to the interior, and countless people's families were ruined. Why care about mere etiquette?"

Seeing this, Meng Tian was no longer polite, glanced at the other people in the room, Meng Tian said: "You all go out, I have important military matters to discuss with the young master in detail."

Seeing everyone retreating, Meng Tian said: "Young Master, you must have read the minister's report?"

Fu Su nodded, and said: "After I came to Fushi, I also read the previous report sent to Xianyang, and I also agree with the general's judgment. The Hu people may have the intention of going south to invade this year."

Meng Tian said: "It's just that the situation seems to have changed a little bit now."

"Now it's almost July, but the Hu people have not moved for a long time. This month, the number of Hu people's harassment and investigation of the border has also decreased significantly. It seems that the Hu people are a little hesitant about going south."

"On the day the young master arrives, I was supposed to go to meet him in person, but when Wu Luo came, I didn't have time to meet the young master in the future."

Meng Tian immediately told about the situation of that day, upon hearing this, Fusu's face also revealed a look of sudden enlightenment.

"...In this way, Wu Luo is also not very clear about the Xiongnu's movements?"

Meng Tian nodded and said: "Thinking about it, in the past few years, I have already scared the barbarians so much that I dare not move easily."

Speaking of this, Fu Su couldn't help laughing, the name Meng Tian must have already reached the point of thundering ears among the barbarians.

Mentioning this name, I am afraid that the barbarians will tremble three points, this is the name of a person, the shadow of a tree.

Therefore, the Hu people were actually not very willing about the choice of going south. Who would run into the 30 soldiers of the heavily armed Qin Dynasty?
That's really the last one to die, not even a scum left!
Fu Su pondered for a while, then suddenly looked at Meng Tian, ​​and said, "Meng Qing, do you still remember Li Mu?"

"Famous general of the Zhao Kingdom?" Mentioning Li Mu, Meng Tian couldn't help being a little dazed, and then he couldn't help showing emotion, saying: "That day Wu Chenghou led the troops to attack Zhao, but he couldn't attack Zhao for a long time. Later, when Wu Chenghou returned to Xianyang, he asked to go Countermeasures, except for Li Mu, our Qin army defeated Zhao army in one fell swoop and destroyed Zhao country."

"Speaking of which, if Li Mu doesn't die, it's not that easy for my Qin army to destroy Zhao. It's just a pity that King Zhao destroyed the Great Wall himself."

Meng Tian's words also showed regret, even though Qin Zhao was once an enemy country, but a general like Li Mu finally died under counter-measures, it can't help but make people feel pity.

Such a hero is also worthy of the respect of every leader of the army.

Fusu said: "Back then, Li Mu defended Zhao's borders and lost dozens of battles in a row, and finally attracted the Xiongnu to go south. Li Mu led the army to defeat them in one fell swoop. Meng Qing, what do you think?"

Hearing what Fusu said, Meng Tian also somewhat guessed what Fusu meant: "My lord, do you mean to lure the snake out of the hole?"

Fusu nodded and said: "As the saying goes, don't be afraid of being stolen by thieves, but be afraid of being missed by thieves. Whether it is equipment or supplies, our Qin army is far better than the Hu people. If we can wipe out most of the Hu people in one fell swoop, the frontier will be destroyed. Within a few years, there will be no barbarian offenders."

"At the time of King Zhaoxiang, Prime Minister Fan Sui once said that it is not necessary to attack the land alone but attack the people. I think that Fan Sui's strategy is the most appropriate to use here."

"Don't just attack the land and attack the people?" Meng Tian heard the words and savored it carefully. Indeed, this is indeed the best way to deal with the barbarians.

Hu people on the prairie always fight like the wind, if the situation is a little bit wrong, they will withdraw immediately, and they never stick to the grassland, this is really the biggest trouble for Meng Tian.
