Chapter 204 Opportunity

"Now that the Chu people have destroyed Qi, Xiang Yu's strength will inevitably increase greatly. What do you think?" After receiving the secret report, Fusu summoned all the ministers to the main hall and asked them for advice.

But in fact, most people knew that what Fusu was asking was not him, but Zhang Liang, Han Xin, Meng Tian and other people who came with him to conquer Xianyang, so they were aware of current affairs and regarded themselves as invisible people and waited quietly.

Talking to those close associates of Fusu. Meng Tian has always been particular about silence. He will not express his opinions unless it is the most critical time. Perhaps this is also due to his character, so in the end everyone focused their attention on Chen

Ping, Zhang Liang and Han Xin.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Chen Ping spoke first: "Your Majesty, what you said about Xiang Yu's strength will be greatly increased is debatable. Yes, the Chu army will definitely have high morale because of the capture of Linzi, the capital of Qi.

However, I don’t think that Xiang Yu can completely take over Qi’s troops for his own use. He only captured Qi by force. The whole Qi State will definitely not be of the same mind with him. Even if he has any trouble, Qi will

People will also take advantage of the situation to rob him and drag him back. Therefore, I believe that the emperor does not need to worry too much about the affairs of the Chu region if he wants to use troops against the Xiongnu."

Fusu smiled faintly when he heard this and said nothing. He just looked at the other people. When Han Xin saw Fusu's eyes going back and forth on him, he knew that he had to say something, so he also said: "What the Prime Minister said

But that's not entirely true. The Chu people certainly don't like the Qi people, but if the Qi people choose between Chu and Qin, they will choose to go to the Chu people without hesitation. After all, I, the Qin Dynasty, destroyed Qi.

What I did was too decisive. The people of Qi will definitely remember this hatred in their hearts. If the people of Qi know that the people of Chu want to fight with me, maybe they will help the people of Chu. And Chu has Qi, where is it?

Not only do they have a lot of food that can be supplied to the Chu people, but Qi is close to the sea, and the Chu people rely on selling salt to raise some military expenses, so the Chu State's destruction of Qi State this time is not as simple as we imagined."

Zhang Liang saw that what he wanted to say had been finished by Han Xin, so he could only nod his head and said: "General Han is right. Now the strength of the Chu people cannot be underestimated. If we use the strength of the whole country to fight against the Xiongnu, the final result will be

It will definitely give the Chu people a chance, and then our country, Great Qin, will be in danger."

Fusu actually thought of this. The purpose of his questioning here was to let the ministers know that he was not unwilling to fight the Huns, but was forced by the situation. In this way, the ministers would have nothing to do.

objected. So he took advantage of the situation and asked: "But now even if we don't want to fight with the Huns, the Huns will definitely not miss this good opportunity after knowing our situation. I wonder if you have any way to deal with it?

"

Zhang Liang thought for a while, then opened his mouth and replied: "Actually, with our current strength, if we just stick to the door, do not fight with the Xiongnu, and do not want to drive them out in a battle, only half of the troops and horses are enough. We will use the other troops

We can put it in the south to prevent the Chu people from harming us. What does the emperor think?"

Han Xin agreed: "This is a good way. In this way, we can not only neutralize the Xiongnu's attack, but also avoid being taken advantage of by the Chu people, so we can protect ourselves."

But Chen Ping seemed to disagree and said: "Although what the two adults said is reasonable, have you ever thought that in this way, we, the Qin Dynasty, will be on the passive side, and the Chu State and the Xiongnu will fight whenever they want.

, this will greatly hinder the future development of our Great Qin. In my opinion, it is better to concentrate our forces to defeat one party first, and then turn our guns to deal with the other enemy."

Fusu, like Zhang Liang and Han Xin, did not think of this level. After listening to Chen Ping's words, he also felt that it was somewhat reasonable. If they were always in a passive situation of being beaten because of fear, then their future military activities would be hindered everywhere.

For a moment, all the ministers in the main hall were speechless. No one expected that in the end of the discussion, there was no way to solve this problem, and the problem became more complicated.

Seeing that everyone had no idea, Fusu had to put this matter aside for the time being and discuss other matters with the ministers. After that, everyone dispersed, and he went back to the harem to find a solution.

In Fusu's bedroom, if an outsider looked in at this time, he would definitely think that this was just an ordinary family. Fusu was sitting in front of the case, looking at the scroll of bamboo slips in his hand, and on the couch not far from him

The previous child, Zeng, who was only a few months old, was twisting and crawling forward vigorously, while Xiaotao watched with a smile as his child kept moving to prevent him from accidentally falling off the couch.

, and at the same time, her eyes glanced at Fusu from time to time, her face full of happiness. The child gradually grew up, became more lively, and moved more. Xiaotao had to always accompany him to protect him. For

Xiao Tao's life now feels like heaven, but she also knows in her heart that it won't be long before Fusu will establish a queen, and her status will be a bit embarrassing by then, so she wants to hold on to the rare happiness now.

Fusu didn't notice Xiaotao's thoughts, nor did he laugh as usual as he watched the little guy twisting and turning on the couch. Now he was not even in the mood to read the memorial in hand carefully, his heart was full of

It was the problem that had arisen at the court meeting just now. Fusu had been thinking about it for a while. He really had no memory of being attacked from both sides like this, so he changed the direction and thought about how the Chinese dynasties in the past dynasties dealt with peace and harmony.

Regarding relations with ethnic minorities, the first thing that popped into his mind was the Song Dynasty, but after thinking about it carefully, he gave up on the Song Dynasty's policy, because the Song Dynasty was always cooperated with a regime to destroy a common enemy.

The allies they cooperated with were destroyed in turn. For example, the Jin and Song Dynasties jointly destroyed the Liao Dynasty, but then the Jin Dynasty destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty. The same happened to the Southern Song Dynasty later. Moreover, the Song Dynasty has always been a weak player in foreign wars.

On the one hand, if you imitate them, you will be looking for trouble. Next, Fusu thought of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, but although the Tang Dynasty had repeatedly won external victories, Fusu could only remember Princess Wencheng's marriage to Tubo.

It is said that Fusu did not believe that it could make the two regimes reconcile. Even if it could, he would not hand over the women of his own nation to the Huns, so Fusu's foreign policy towards the Tang Dynasty was also set aside.

.Then Fusu's eyes fell on the Han Dynasty. Although the first thing that jumped out was still the marriage policy, Fusu still thought of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing's feats. The military achievements of these two generals were compared to Yue Fei's.

, Wen Tianxiang was much older, but his reputation among the people was not as great as those two, so Fusu became interested in them after learning about their deeds at that time. He believed that a soldier should serve the country by killing the enemy.

As the biggest goal, the evaluation of future generations can be left aside. The time of the Western Han Dynasty coincided with his own era, so Fusu began to think about it carefully.

"In addition to Wei Qing and Huo Qubing in the Western Han Dynasty, there was Zhang Qian who had access to the Western Regions. Zhang Qian's access to the Western Regions? The reason he went was to join hands with the Yueshi to deal with the Xiongnu. I can also act in this way. As long as the Xiongnu

There is an enemy threat behind us, so even if they send troops to attack us, they won't be able to go all out. Then I will be able to block their offensive with only half of my troops." Thinking of this, Fusu suddenly felt enlightened and stood up.

He burst out laughing. Ying Wei, who was addicted to climbing on the side, stopped when he heard his father's laughter, and looked at the man who laughed loudly with curiosity, his eyes full of doubts.

Xiang Yu, who had captured Linzi and captured the King of Qi, now felt that he had no rivals in the world. He led his army back to Kuaiji City with great ambition. The people of Chu lined the road to welcome the return of their hero.

After this battle, the criticism against Xiang Yu within the Chu State was almost extinct. The people knew very well that in this troubled time, it is better for their monarch to be someone who can protect themselves. What is orthodox and unorthodox has become irrelevant to them.

It doesn't matter anymore.

"Overlord, someone from Xianyang just sent news that the Huns and Qin are about to go to war." A soldier guarding Xiang Yu's house said immediately when he saw Xiang Yu return, his voice was very excited.

Xiang Yu's face flushed when he heard this: "I didn't expect that God would favor me so much. I just destroyed Qi State, and now I have a perfect opportunity to conquer Qin." Xiang Yu thought, but he just

He said calmly: "Go and call Generals Mr. Fan, Xiang Ta, and Long Qie. I want to discuss something with them." The soldier immediately accepted the order and left.

When the three of them arrived, Xiang Yu had already taken off his armor, finished bathing, and was waiting for them in the hall wearing a robe. This time, except Fan Zeng, the other two people followed Xiang Yu's arrangement and stayed in Kuaiji City.

, so they don’t have that kind of Zhengchen. After seeing the ceremony, the three asked: "The Overlord just came back to his house and he invited us to come. I don't know why?"

Xiang Yu asked them to sit down and told them the news he had just heard, and then said: "I think this is a great opportunity to attack the Central Plains. What do you think?"

Both Xiang He and Long Qie glanced at Fan Zeng. They both knew that they were far behind Fan Zeng in terms of intelligence. Fan Zeng said: "If this news is true, it is indeed true for me, Chu."

A huge opportunity, but we still have to wait and see. If Fusu really goes to war with the Huns, then our Chu army can take advantage of the situation and kill them. Otherwise, with our current strength, we still cannot compete with Qin." (
