Shen Bing's memorial was delivered to Ying Zheng soon after.

At this time, Ying Zheng was inspecting the Hetao area... After unifying the Central Plains, Ying Zheng probably thought that this was a time for enjoyment, so he often took a group of followers to travel around.

During these days, I wanted to see how Shen Bing was doing business, so he moved to the Hetao area for inspection.

It’s okay if you don’t look at it, but you can’t help but be shocked when you look at it:

The entire Hetao is full of waterwheels and workshops, and the sound of water and hammering can be heard all the time. The farmland is crisscrossed with ditches and melons and fruits. The Hetao, which was originally a wasteland, has become a base for the production of cloth, ironware and grain.

In addition, restaurants and shops are dotted here and there, with ships, horses, vehicles and merchants coming and going in an endless stream, creating a prosperous and busy scene.

Seeing this, Ying Zheng couldn't help but sigh:

"I will also move all the rich people in the world to Xianyang. Xianyang will be the richest place."

“I don’t want to compare it with this Loop, but it pales in comparison!”

Zhao Gao took advantage of the situation and said:

"Your Majesty, Hetao is a wealthy party, but for Da Qin..."

"Why don't we move the rich people to Xianyang again?"

Ying Zheng asked rhetorically:

“What if we move the rich to Xianyang?”

"With the various workshops and farmland here, I'm afraid it won't be long before many rich people become rich again."

"Once the rich move to Xianyang, it won't take long for them to lose everything and become poor."

"Moving here and there, wouldn't it be all in vain in the end?"

Zhao Gao asked:

"Then what the emperor means is..."

Ying Zheng waved his hand and pointed at the waterwheels and workshops and said:

"Instead of moving the rich, it is better to move these waterwheels and workshops to Xianyang as they are."

"only……"

As he spoke, he sighed.

Xianyang is a water-scarce area in the west. The lack of water resources makes it difficult to achieve the scale of the Hetao area. Therefore, even if these technologies are moved there, they still cannot be compared with the Hetao area.

not to mention……

The most important thing about the Hetao area is that the Silk Road has been opened to communicate with the Western Regions. This geographical advantage is unmatched by Xianyang.

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng asked again:

"Is there any news about Shen Bing's campaign against the Huns?"

Zhao Gao replied:

"Back to the Emperor, there is no news yet."

"However, it is said that Shen Bing has a long-term plan to attack the Xiongnu from both sides. The situation in this battle is very good."

"If Shen Bing can defeat the Xiongnu, there will be Hetao in the south, the Western Region in the west, and grassland in the north...the number of soldiers will be more than a million!"

Although Zhao Gao said he was praising Shen Bing, he actually meant that Shen Bing had become a big man.

Sure enough, Ying Zheng frowned.

Although Ying Zheng believed that Shen Bing was sent by the gods to help him conquer the world, Ying Zheng, who had a double-sided personality, also disliked someone being so powerful that he could not control it.

In particular, the growth rate of Shen Bing's force is too terrifying. In just one year, they fought from Hetao to the Western Regions, and now they are joining forces to conquer the Xiongnu...

The Huns have been a serious problem for all countries in the Central Plains since ancient times. Although the Central Plains regarded them as barbarians, they could not do anything about them. All they could do was to build the Great Wall for passive defense.

However, Shen Bing not only defeated the Xiongnu several times, but also attacked them from two sides and went deep into the grassland to fight against them.

If we win, it will be an eternal achievement!

Just as he was thinking about it, a personal guard presented Shen Bing with a memorial.

With a look from Ying Zheng, Zhao Gao understood and stepped forward to take the memorial and open it.

After watching for a while, Zhao Gao was shocked and said:

"Your Majesty, Shen Bing defeated the Xiongnu and has now captured the important place of Dragon City."

"More than 50,000 enemy cavalry were killed, Maodun Chanyu was defeated and fled to Mobei, King You Xian..."

"King Youxian has returned to Qin!"

Ying Zheng didn't react for a long time.

Although he had expected good news, he always thought that what he was getting was a victory, and he was afraid that he would have to fight for several more months.

Who would have thought that this battle would end like this, and Shen Bing had achieved a decisive victory.

In this way, as Zhao Gao said, the area controlled by Shen Bing includes the Hetao, the Western Regions, and the grassland, and they are three connected areas.

These areas are much larger than the Central Plains...

At this time, the Central Plains area was mainly the Yellow River area, and the area was not large.

The grassland area of ​​the Western Regions is much larger than that of the Central Plains in terms of area, but the population is not as dense as that of the Central Plains, especially the Western Regions with large deserts.

And this is not the most terrifying thing. The terrifying thing is that Shen Bing also controls a large number of elite cavalry. If these cavalry march south... not even the Central Plains can stop them.

Doesn't that mean that even Ying Zheng's life is in Shen Bing's hands?

When he thought of this, Ying Zheng's face turned very ugly.

After taking the memorial and reading it down, Ying Zheng became more and more frightened.

Because Shen Bing's arrangement for the division of the Yueshi, King Youxian and the Western Regions showed quite strong political skills... It seemed to be a simple distribution, but in fact it made them hate each other and constrain each other.

If the distribution is like this, how can all countries escape from Shen Bing's grasp?

After thinking about it, Ying Zheng said awkwardly:

"The current plan is to transfer that Shen Bing back to Xianyang?"

When Zhao Gao heard this, he secretly said something bad.

If Shen Bing was transferred back to Xianyang, wouldn't Fusu also come back?

So he quickly said:

"Your Majesty, my subordinates think it is absolutely impossible."

"At this time, Shen Bing already has millions of troops. If we rashly transfer him back, I'm afraid he will be irritated."

"What's more, at this time, our army has just conquered Dragon City and is not yet firmly established."

"Move Shen Bing back...Modun Shanyu fights back again, won't our army's previous efforts be in vain?"

Ying Zheng thought about it and thought it was right. Now is not the time to reduce military power.

But when I thought about the power that Shen Bing controlled, I felt terrified... I originally hoped that Shen Bing would be seriously injured after the battle with the Xiongnu, but he didn't expect that the soldiers would fight more and more.

Zhao Gao didn't know what Ying Zheng was thinking, so he rolled his eyes and suggested:

"Your Majesty, for this plan, my subordinates think that we should stabilize Shen Bing."

As he spoke, he leaned close to Ying Zheng's ear and whispered in such a low voice that Ying Zheng nodded repeatedly.

Of course Shen Bing, who was in Dragon City, didn't know what Ying Zheng and Zhao Gao had planned.

In fact, it would be a lie to say that you don’t know at all. The saying that great achievements shake the master is an eternal truth. It is just right for a minister to have a medium level of power, and it becomes more and more dangerous as he goes up. Wang Jian in history also destroyed Chu. For this reason, he retired and returned to his hometown. How could he, Shen Bing, be an exception?

However, credit is not what Shen Bing wants, and sometimes he really can't help it.

For example, in this Western Region, every battle is a battle of life and death. Either you die or I die.

Of course, Shen Bing could not choose to die, but if he survived... the result would be greater credit and greater influence.

Another example is the Xiongnu, which was also a life and death battle.

Even if the arrow is on the string, it has to be fired, because the Huns are the significance of the Western Region Alliance Army.

If the Xiongnu were not defeated, the Western Region would be a piece of loose sand.
