Chapter 125 Peace Conference
After arranging for Wang Feng to continue to Shangjun, Hu Hai talked with the ministers about who should be sent to attack Chu once Fusu really agreed to their peace negotiation. In fact, Hu Hai and Ziying had already discussed this issue.
, the purpose of bringing it up now is just to announce it in front of the ministers. So when Hu Hai asked who was suitable to lead the army, Ziying immediately came out and said: "In accordance with the minister's opinion, we should send
General Zhang Han went to conquer the Chu Kingdom. Firstly, although the Chu Kingdom was in civil strife, it was still the most powerful among the many rebels. We must send our Qin Dynasty’s best generals to deal with them; secondly, Zhang Han
The general and many of his soldiers have been resting in Xianyang for a long time, and now it is time for him to show off his skills again and use the same methods he used to deal with Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and other rebels to destroy the Chu State."
"What Zi Ying said is what I want. I wonder if you have any other generals to choose from?" Although Hu Hai was asking all the courtiers in the palace, his eyes were directed at Zhao Gao, who was sitting in the front.
, I wonder if he will find a general he thinks he can control.
He led them out to fight against Zhang Han. The other ministers also looked at Zhao Gao. Those who were on Zhao Gao's side were of course only Zhao Gao, but there were also a small number who were loyal to the Qin royal family and were also waiting for Zhao Gao's difference.
It is easy to refute his opinions and gain the emperor's trust.
Zhao Gao did not say a word in the eyes of everyone. When everyone began to whisper, he said: "The general Zhang used by the emperor is exactly what I want to recommend to the emperor. I want to come to Xianyang City or even Daqin."
There is no one more powerful than General Zhang in the world.
He is a suitable general to go to Chu. But he alone is not enough. I suggest that two generals, Bai Ban and Wang Li, be sent as his deputies. In this way, Chu will be completely destroyed." As soon as he finished his words, many people attached to him.
The ministers expressed their agreement one after another.
Hu Hai and Zi Ying exchanged glances, and both saw confusion and defensiveness in each other's eyes. The two saw that Zhao Gao agreed to Hu Hai's ideas so easily. This was different from what Zhao Gao had always shown.
The behavior is completely different, even if he can't guess it at the moment
Looking at their intentions, one should also know that once Zhang Han is allowed to make another military exploit, Zhao Gao's power will be hit again. But this time he completely agreed with Hu Hai's opinion, and also sent two generals to
Zhang Han, this has to make Hu Hai and two people suspicious.
But since everyone agreed, Hu Hai could no longer go back on his word, so he ordered Zhang Han to be the general to attack Chu on the spot, leading 100,000 troops to attack Chu, with Bai Shi and Wang Li as deputy, waiting for Wang Feng to take Fusuna
After receiving the news from the border, we dispatched troops in the spring of the following year.
After everything was discussed, the ministers left the hall one after another, but Hu Hai still kept Ziying behind. After this period of time, relying on Zhang Han's power, Hu Hai had already conquered all the attendants in the palace who he thought were Zhao Gao's spies.
kicked him out, so now he doesn’t have to be with Zi Ying anymore
They met in secret. Of course, there may be some informants that Hu Hai cannot dig out, but the people serving him are already people he can trust. "Emperor, looking at Zhao Gao's performance today, I think it is a bit unusual.
"Ziying said after everyone left.
"I vaguely feel that Zhao Gao must have a conspiracy, but I can't think of any benefit to him from General Zhang leading the army to attack Chu."
"Could it be that Zhao Gao wants to launch a coup while General Zhang is leading his troops and the city can restrain his power?" Ziying guessed, but then he denied it, "Although Zhao Gao can cover the sky with one hand now, that's not the case.
Because he has the emperor above him, the soldiers and civilians of Da Qin are the most loyal to the emperor. Once he wants to harm the emperor, countless soldiers and civilians will definitely come out to get rid of him. But other than this reason, I really can’t think of any other reason.
There’s a reason.”
Hu Hai was also a little worried about this issue at first, but after listening to Ziying's words, he also wavered in his judgment. So he simply put the issue aside: "Forget it, now there is still time for General Li Zhang to lead troops to attack Chu.
For some time, the most important thing we need to solve now is Fusu's problem. I wonder if he will really agree to my peace proposal."
"Looking at the conditions he proposed, I feel that he has a certain degree of sincerity, otherwise he would not have proposed to make him a king and ask the court to pay his military salary." Ziying said.
"But there is one thing he missed, and that is his wife and children in Xianyang City. If he really wants to negotiate peace with me, he will definitely ask me to send his wife and children to Shangjun to reunite his wife and son.
But in this condition, he didn't even mention the safety of his wife and children, which makes people doubt his sincerity." Hu Hai said with some suspicion.
Ziying said, "Perhaps Fusu didn't mention his wife and children because he wanted to show his loyalty to the emperor. He should also know that even if he made this request, the emperor would not return his wife and children to him.
But it was the last force used to restrain him. So I think Fusu really wanted to negotiate peace with the emperor this time."
"What you said is not unreasonable, so let me believe Fusu's sincerity for the time being. As long as he sincerely negotiates peace with me and thinks of submitting to me as soon as possible, I can consider letting him live in Xianyang City forever. Hahahaha!
"Having said this, Hu Hai laughed proudly. But both he and Ziying had the wrong idea. The reason Fusu didn't mention his wife and daughter was because he simply forgot that he still had a wife and children in Xianyang, because
This Fusu was not the Fusu they knew at all.
One day later, Wang Feng gritted his teeth and headed towards Shangjun again. Of course, this time there were many more people following him than last time. In addition to some ceremonial guards, there was also a large amount of food as a gift.
A reward from the superior county.
At this time, all kinds of weapons were being forged in full swing in Shangjun City. Because Ouyangke, an expert in forging weapons, was there, Fusu simply started to talk about all the weapons in his memory, and asked people to draw them.
I gave the pattern to Ouyangke and asked him to make it according to the pattern. In this era, the commonly used weapons were only long spears, daggers and sticks, and short weapons such as swords, plus bows and crossbows.
Today's battlefield weapons were invented. But Fusu created the mace, Fangtian Huaji, Daguan Dao and other weapons based on his own experience of watching movies and TV series, which made the soldiers around him look stunned.
Even though Ouyangke forged these weapons, he was still amazed. He didn't expect that Fusu could come up with so many strange weapons. But at the same time, from his perspective, he also found that these weapons were inferior to the current weapons.
The combat effectiveness of soldiers can be improved to a higher level.
In the next few days, Fusu began to select some people who were good at martial arts and clever and tried to use these new weapons. Although even Fusu himself was not very clear about the purpose of these weapons, these soldiers were obviously familiar with handling these weapons.
He was very interested in the new weapons. After trying them a few times, he was able to use them to kill soldiers who used spears and other weapons. Fusu also found some powerful people and asked them to use the maces and weapons.
Daguan Dao, these two pieces
In the hands of a few soldiers with extraordinary strength, the heavy weapons became more powerful than the original weapons. Seeing the benefits of these weapons, Fusu immediately asked Ouyangke to lead a group of newly apprenticed disciples to build them.
As a result, the cost of copper and iron has become more, and the people who mine and smelt in the mountains have become even busier. But although they are busy, they are very happy in their hearts, because they know that the more weapons they produce, the more weapons they can produce.
It means that your strength will be greater when you go to the county.
Just when this was in full swing, Wang Feng arrived with dozens of grain trucks and Hu Hai's imperial edict. In order to make Hu Hai believe in his sincerity, Fusu hurriedly went out of the city to bring Wang Feng in, and then led all the officials in the city to pick him up.
He received an imperial edict from Hu Hai. When he heard that Hu Hai named him the King of the North and sent him a large amount of food, Fusu was even more grateful. This made Wang Feng's hanging heart finally calm down.
Back in his stomach. He originally thought that Fusu would make some other difficulties. Unexpectedly, Fusu's behavior this time was completely different from last time. Not only did he hold a banquet to entertain Wang Feng and a group of envoys, but he also arranged for them to
He was treated with utmost courtesy in his palace. This made Wang Feng very sure that Fusu was sincerely negotiating peace with the imperial court. He had decided to tell the emperor about Fusu's performance this time after returning to Xianyang.
After they all fell asleep, Fusu called Meng Tian, Han Xin, Zhang Liang, and Chen Ping together to analyze the current situation. "Looking at Hu Hai's attitude now, he really wants to stabilize us first and then send a large army.
He is going to attack Chu, and he probably doesn’t have many troops at his disposal. He can no longer attack Chu and at the same time deploy heavy troops at various passes to prevent me from making a surprise attack." Fusu said.
"Yes, it seems that Hu Hai has also learned the lesson from the last time when Baiban failed to attack Chu and we occupied several counties. This time he will stabilize us first before proceeding." Meng Tian unconsciously thought of the incident last year.
"In this case, let's take advantage of their army being held back by the Chu people to attack Xianyang as quickly as possible, so that the prince can regain his throne." Han Xin also said.
Fusu looked at the few people who were willing to sacrifice everything for his throne, his eyes showed a little touch, and then said: "Now that we have reached a peace agreement with Hu Hai, I think he will launch an attack on Chudi soon."
.But we can't act too quickly, otherwise once the Qin soldiers know that Xianyang is attacked, they will definitely return to rescue them.
, only when the battle between Qin and Chu reaches a point where the winner must be decided, can we rely on the Chu people to restrain the Qin army from leaving the Chu land, and thus successfully capture Xianyang, so what we should do next
Or should we increase our own strength and wait for the war between Qin and Chu to break out? Do you think my proposal is right?"
Zhang Liang and Chen Pingping nodded in agreement, and Meng Tian added: "I have ordered spies from all over the country to pay attention to the situation in Chu. If there are changes that are beneficial to us, they will use flying pigeons to report to us."
"The next year may be the key to our success or failure," Fusu said.
