Chapter 209 Balance

"What the Prime Minister said is correct. Since the Huns have not stationed their troops on the edge of the grassland, we just sent people to cross the grassland. After crossing the Huns' territory, we will reach the Yuezhi Kingdom to the west." Zhang Liang

I also agree with Chen Ping’s suggestion.

"Your Excellency, the Royal Envoy, even knows the location of the Yuezhi Kingdom. You are truly a knowledgeable man." Chen Ping praised, "But I don't know who the emperor wants to send to Yuezhi to join forces with his king to deal with the Huns.

Woolen cloth?"

Fusu looked at the ministers standing below and made a calculation in his mind. In terms of intelligence and eloquence, Zhang Liang was the best candidate, but he couldn't live without him. The country had not been established for long, and there were still many things that needed Zhang Liang.

, the help of Chen and the others, so Fusu immediately gave up the plan of sending these two people. Then his eyes turned to

Looking back, it was only at this time that Fusu discovered that most of his subordinates were warriors who were accustomed to fighting. When it came to being sent to other countries, there seemed to be no such talents. For a moment, he didn't know what to do.

After a long while, he said: "Let the candidate for the Yuezhi mission be left vacant for now, and we will make a decision after the news from the grassland arrives."

The ministers also understood Fusu's thoughts, so they stopped talking and started talking about other things.

Just when Fusu was worrying about who to send the envoy, Zhang Liang came to see Fusu after the court meeting. Fusu looked at him and asked: "Mr. Zhang met me alone for the purpose of the mission?"

I know that Mr. Zhang is the best candidate, but Mr. Zhang is indispensable in the country, so I have to send someone else."

Zhang Liang smiled and said: "Thank you for your appreciation, Your Majesty. Yes, I came to the palace to meet the Emperor alone this time for the purpose of sending an envoy to the Yuezhi. However, the person I recommended to go was not myself, but a friend of mine.

His name is Li Shiqi. Although he is over sixty years old and is still just a commoner, his eloquence is far superior to that of Zhang Liang. The emperor just asked him to go to Yuezhi, and I think he will definitely agree.

.”

"Li Shiqi." Fusu read the name softly. He felt it was familiar. Obviously he should be a person whose name had been left in history. Since he is a famous person in history and Zhang Liang said this again, then this Li Shiqi

Shi Qi was obviously a talented person. So Fu Su asked: "Where is this man now? Can Zifang find him and convince him to go to Yuezhi? You must know that it is thousands of miles away from Yuezhi, and it has to pass through

The Huns obstructed us greatly."

Zhang Liangdao: "This man has always been ambitious. Now that he has this opportunity to become famous all over the world and pass it on to future generations, he will definitely not let it go. And he is now at Chen Liu's home. As long as I send my family to go and pass it on, I will not miss it."

He will happily go according to the emperor's will."

Fusu frowned and said: "With such a talented person, I still want to ask him to serve me in Great Qin. Is it too hasty to do so?"

Zhang Liangdao: "This Li Shi is a person who doesn't stick to trivial matters. This is why I can make friends with him. Don't worry, Your Majesty. I expect that he will rush to Yuezhi alone after receiving the order. And this matter

It will definitely succeed if he takes action."

Fusu saw that Zhang Liang was so confident and could no longer doubt his words, so he agreed to the suggestion and personally wrote a volume of imperial edict and gave it to Zhang Liang, asking him to take the object out of the palace.

."If Li Shiqi was really that powerful, Zhang Qian's feat of conquering the Western Regions would have happened a hundred years earlier." Thinking of this, Fusu only felt the excitement of creating history, which was more exciting to him than changing history.

Excited.

Now that the people who want to go to Yuezhi have been selected, all Fusu and the others have to do is wait for the news from the grassland. But before the news comes, Fusu has ordered the southern troops who originally planned to rush to the north to send back

The original station was moved to prevent Chu

People took advantage of the situation and robbed them. A few days later, Peng Hong, the person who was responsible for the news about flying pigeons, finally received a letter from the grassland. He did not dare to neglect it, so he immediately took the letter to the palace and waited for the volume for more than ten days.

The silk book was delivered to Fusu.

It was getting late when Peng Hong entered the palace. Fusu was giving birth in casual clothes and Xiaotao was playing with her son. The little guy was getting cuter now. He was lying on the couch with his head in Fusu's arms, babbling.

Shouting, causing Fusu and Fusu to laugh from time to time

The sound came. Peng Hong stood aside quietly, but Fusu still saw him. He handed his son into Xiao Tao's hands, then walked up to Peng Hong and asked: "You must have something important to do when you come to the palace at this time."

Report to me, but is there any news from the north?"

Peng Hong nodded and said: "Your Majesty is wise, I have indeed received the letter from the grassland." As he said this, he handed a volume of silk book to Fusu's hand. Fusu hurriedly took the silk book and read it under the light.

After a long while, he raised his head and shouted loudly: "Here comes!" Immediately, several chamberlains walked over quickly and asked: "What are your orders from Huang Shang?"

Fusu pondered for a moment and then said: "In half an hour, you will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Taiwei Mansion, the General's Mansion and the Royal Envoy's Mansion, and call several adults to the palace, saying that I have something important to do.

Let’s discuss.” The chamberlains agreed and went down.

Peng Hong felt very strange. He didn't know why Fusu asked them to go back half an hour later. Fusu seemed to see the doubt in his mind and said with a smile: "Look, this is the time when they have just returned home."

, I have to let them rest and eat. Although the matter is important, the ministers must also have a certain amount of time to rest."

Peng Hong suddenly nodded, and at the same time he was filled with admiration. Unexpectedly, as the emperor, Fusu still treated his ministers as kindly as before, and did not change his attitude because of the change in status. Fusu suddenly seemed to remember something at this time,

He asked: "Peng Qing, have you ever had a meal?" Peng Hong shook his head, and Fusu said: "Then you will have a meal with me." After saying that, Peng Hong did not allow him to refuse and pulled him aside.

After sitting down, the waiters soon brought the wine and food.

After finishing the meal, Peng Hong was willing to die immediately for Fusu. Fusu didn't know that his ordinary actions would earn him so much gratitude from his ministers. This may be because he is still the same person in his heart.

The modern soul is in charge and does not pay too much attention to the distinction between monarch and minister.

More than half an hour later, Chen Ping and others entered the palace one after another. As soon as they saw Fusu, Zhang Liang asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, but the news from the grassland has arrived?" His question, followed by several others'

Their expressions became serious for a while, and they all looked at Fusu, waiting for him to tell what happened.

Fusu smiled and said: "Zifang is indeed a divination. I asked you to come into the palace just because I just received a letter from the north." He handed the silk book to Chen Ping and said, "Please pass it around to everyone."

Bar."

After everyone looked at it, Han Xin said: "It turns out that the people on the day shift suddenly appeared outside Modun's big tent and almost killed him. In order to deal with his more than a thousand people, Modun sent all the people there.

All my men and horses on the border have been transferred back. But is he making too much of a fuss? The enemy only has a thousand people. We can annihilate them all by sending only five thousand people, so why bother?"

Zhang Liang and Chen Ping looked at each other, both knowing that the other had guessed something. Finally, Chen Ping said: "I'm afraid things are not that simple. This time, Maodun has transferred all the troops back, and they should not be dealing with a mere thousand people."

They were the ones coming from the day shift, but they were people within the Xiongnu who were not too obedient to him. The several harassments by the day shift and the final raid on Moton's tent may have shaken Moton's status among the Xiongnu tribes. Now he needs to have

He wanted to use strong force to stabilize his position, so he transferred all his troops back. Moreover, Mao Dun should not worry about the troops of those big tribes being far away from his control."

After hearing this analysis, several other people nodded frequently, expressing their agreement with Zhang Liang's view. Fusu also said: "Zifang is right, and I think so too. So what should we do?"

Chen Ping said: "Although it seems that the Xiongnu will not use troops against our country Qin in a short time, we still have to guard against their deception, so all the soldiers in the north cannot be withdrawn, and our plan to attack Chu State is also limited."

You should move back."

Fusu agreed: "Yes, and before we unite with the Yuezhi State to jointly deal with the Xiongnu, it is better to maintain the current balanced state with the Chu State."

Although the others had two generals, Han Xin and Meng Tian, ​​they also believed that this was the safest way, so they decided to wait and see what happened. In this way, Da Qin got another period of time to recuperate.

Chu State, Kuaiji, Xiang Yu's Mansion. Xiang Yu looked at the battle report sent from the front with a look of helplessness: "Why did these Huns say they were fighting but not fighting? They just put the men and horses in a row and then went back.

We lost a great opportunity."

Fan Zeng said: "The Overlord does not need to feel sorry for this. Changes on the battlefield are always unexpected. Moreover, the Overlord should be glad that he did not send troops rashly, otherwise we would have to face the elite soldiers and generals of Great Qin alone now."

Xiang Yu sighed, still feeling regretful, but he understood in his mind that what Fan Zeng said was very reasonable. Chu's military strength was still unable to fight Qin to the death. So he asked: "Mr. Fan, what should we do next?"

What to do? Now there is no chance of fighting Qin."

After Fan Zeng pondered for a moment, he said word for word: "The only thing we can do now is to wait for an opportunity, and then give the Qin people a fatal blow."

Xiang Yu had no choice but to accept that this was not a solution.

So Chu in the south, Qin in the central plains, and the Xiongnu in the northern grasslands were in such a delicate balance. The three were unable to send troops for a while. The people could finally live a peaceful life for a few days, but this balance would
Chapter completed!
