The two of them were stunned when they heard Fusu's words. At this time, Chen Ping was holding a piece of meat on his chopsticks. After hearing this, the chopsticks loosened and the meat fell back into the plate, draining all the soup.

It splashed out, but Chen Ping didn't feel it at all. Zhang Liang, on the other hand, had just poured a sip of wine into his mouth. Hearing this, he became nervous and coughed loudly, and the wine in his mouth also flowed out.

Fusu didn't expect that as soon as he mentioned that he wanted to fight in person, two people who had always been stable would lose their composure and looked at the two of them in confusion. Chen Ping was the first to wake up from the shock and hurriedly put his chopsticks on the table.

, said: "Your Majesty, you must not do this!" Zhang Liang also tried his best to control his coughing and advised: "Your Majesty, this matter is too risky and you should not have such thoughts."

Fusu glanced at the two of them, smiled faintly and said, "What's so risky about this? How come I didn't notice it?"

Chen Ping and Chen Ping looked at each other, and Zhang Liang spoke up: "Your Majesty is the lord of our Great Qin. If you go to the battlefield, the people of Chu will definitely try to harm you at all costs. And now we have gained the Great Qin."

Not long after, there may still be some people in the Central Plains who oppose the emperor. If the emperor leaves Xianyang now, the country may be unstable."

Fusu said: "This time our Qin army will send out 200,000 horses to attack Chu. Our troops are twice as many as the enemy's, and they are well-equipped and have brave soldiers. Is there any safer place than under the protection of 200,000 horses?"

?Surrounded by such a heavy army, if I am still injured by the Chu people, then this

How can we save my life with only 20,000 to 30,000 troops in Xianyang City? As for your fear that someone in the Central Plains will be ready to take action after I leave, I have already thought about it. Although most of the Central Plains have completely surrendered to me,

After all, there are still some people from the Six Kingdoms who miss their old country.

, Now that I am here, they only dare to do some things secretly, but the harm is not small. But if I leave Xianyang, or even leave the Central Plains and go to the south, then they will completely destroy themselves without any scruples.

Once exposed, it will be easy to get rid of them when the time comes

Much more. And there is no one in Xianyang City. I have decided that you, Chen Qing, will handle the government affairs here. Although the prince Ying Wei is still young, he can also be the prince overseeing the country. With the two of you in Xianyang

The city has its name and reality, so what is there to worry about?"

Zhang Liang didn't want to think that Fusu had already made plans for his opinions, and his rebuttal was very reasonable, so he had nothing to say for a moment and had to look at Chen Ping. But Chen Ping could only think about the emperor.

Having such trust in himself meant that he had completely entrusted the country and the country to himself. He was so moved that he forgot to persuade Cambodia for a moment. After a while, he finally thought of it.

Another key point is that Fusu plans to focus on cultivating his eldest son Ying Wei. Although Fusu only has such a son now, a king will always have many children. Now that he has made Ying Wei supervise the country, his intention is

He was going to be established as the prince. Thinking of this, Chen Ping did not dare to speak casually. After all, the affairs of the emperor were not something that a minister could casually comment on.

When Fusu saw that both of them said no more, he knew that he had completely convinced them. In order to fear that they would find other reasons, Fusu decided to strike while the iron was hot and said: "And the purpose of this expedition to Chu is

Bring the Chu Kingdom back into our hands instead of letting the Chu people

I know how powerful our Great Qin is. If we want the Chu people to really submit to me, in addition to showing our Great Qin’s military power, we must have some other means. And I went there to make the people of Chu accept us as soon as possible.

Therefore, I must go to attack Chu this time."

Seeing Fusu's resolute expression and hearing the unquestionable words from Fusu's mouth, the two of them already knew that Fusu was determined to lead the troops himself, so they could only accept this fact. But then Zhang Liang said again

: "If the emperor wants to attack Chu personally, then I will also accompany him. I hope the emperor will give me permission."

Fusu said with a smile: "Didn't I just say that I want Chen Qing to take charge of the overall situation in Xianyang City and deliver food and grass to my front line? Zhang Qing, of course you want to follow me to Chu. How can I miss you as the strategist?"

How about the talents who are thousands of miles away?" Fusu was so happy when he saw that the two of them finally agreed with his idea, he copied the words Liu Bang used to praise Zhang Liang in history.

"The emperor has praised me so much, but I can't bear it." Zhang Liang was overjoyed when he heard that Fusu spoke so highly of him. His doubts about Fusu only letting Chen Ping stay in Xianyang were forgotten.

.

At this point, Fusu no longer discussed state affairs with the two people, but began to chat with them about domestic affairs. At the same time, he frequently encouraged the two to drink, and the three monarchs and ministers left happily. When Fusu returned to the harem, he saw Xiaotao guarding the

The son was looking at him silently. "Xiao Tao, what's wrong with you?" Seeing the unhappy look on her face, Fusu couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"Your Majesty, I heard that you were going to lead troops to go on an expedition again, so I felt a little sad." Xiao Tao said softly.

"Silly girl, what's so sad about this?" Fusu stepped forward and held Xia Tao lovingly in his arms, "My expedition this time is just for show, and it's not like I'm going to risk my life to kill the enemy.

, and there are still 200,000 troops accompanying me, and there must be a lot of guards around me, so what is there to worry about?"

Xiaotao glanced at Fusu and said timidly: "Your Majesty, please excuse me and concubine for being brave and say a few words. In fact, my country, Qin, is already big enough. Why does Your Majesty bother to go to Chu State? And as the Emperor, you are responsible for the people of the world. If you are

What...but what should we do? It would be better for the Emperor to stay in Xianyang City."

If someone else had said this, Fusu would have been furious at this time, but Xiaotao was just a person who cared about him and only wanted to be safe, so Fusu knew that her words were all sincere.

Fusu smiled and said: "What I am doing now is not to seize other people's land, but to recapture the land that originally belonged to our country, the people of China...the Qin Dynasty. When the First Emperor was alive, the lands of the six countries were all under the rule of my country, the Qin Dynasty.

Next, if I become the emperor but give him back to the Chu people, what will the people of Qin think of me? After my death, I will have no shame to see the First Emperor underground. So this time I must return the land of Chu to the Chu people.

Capture it back and restore the glory of the First Emperor!"

Xiaotao looked at Fusu's captivating style when he talked about taking back Chu Land, and then she realized that she had truly fallen in love with this man. Not because he was her master, not because he was the emperor.

, but because he is an ambitious and ideal man worthy of his entrustment. "Now that the emperor's mind has been set, I can only wish the emperor a speedy return with victory, and all the little peaches in the palace will work hard to learn from it.

Managed.”

Fusu hugged Xiao Tao tightly: "Xiao Tao, I promise you that I will come back soon. When I come back, I will make you my queen." The two hugged each other quietly like this.

There is no language that can describe the feelings between two people.

On the second day, the people in Xianyang City already knew that the three armies of the Chu people were defeated by the Qin army. Five days later, rumors spread throughout the Central Plains that the Chu people would be destroyed by Qin. Of course, this

This was also a strategy used by Fusu and others before the war began, in order to convince the people of Qin that the great Qin army would definitely destroy Chu, and also to make the Chu people fearful, so that they would not be able to fight the Qin army with all their strength on the battlefield.

After the news spread, Fusu told the court in front of all the ministers that he would personally lead troops to conquer Chu. At that time, many conservative ministers proposed

Among the objections, the most powerful excuse is that when Qin Shihuang destroyed the six kingdoms, he did not personally conquer the country. Now Fusu's status is even higher than that of the emperor. The son of a rich man cannot sit down in the hall, so he should not go.

But Fusu said that they were just following the old tradition and did not understand the reason, and said that he had decided on this personal expedition. Most of those ministers were originally from the Hu Hai Dynasty who had just surrendered, so naturally they did not dare to have a real relationship with the emperor.

They had a falling out, so they pinned their hopes on Zhang Liang and Chen Ping, two people who followed Fu Su all over the world.

Seeing that all the ministers were looking at them, Chen Ping and Zhang Liang could only look at each other and smile bitterly, and then fell silent. When those ministers saw that the two of them did not raise objections, they knew what Fusu was thinking.

It was decided that they could no longer influence it, so they finally agreed to Fusu's decision to go out in person.

Fusu saw that the ministers still agreed to his decision, and he was very satisfied with his way of convincing Chen Ping and Zhang Liang from the beginning. If he had not negotiated with Chen and Zhang first, but proposed it now

If he comes out, then these two people will definitely oppose his own conquest like other ministers, and in this case, the only ones he has to convince are all the ministers.

, with Zhang Liang and his ministers supporting him, they would not be as easy to persuade as they were back then. So when he saw that the ministers had no opinions, Fusu immediately issued an imperial edict to express his determination, and he ordered garrison troops from various places.

The Qin army rushed to several counties in the south within half a month. As soon as the troops and horses were ready, he set off from Xianyang and headed for Chu.

It was not until the imperial edict was issued that the expedition became an irreversible established fact that Fusu was completely relieved. In fact, there was another reason in his heart that he could not talk about, and that was that he wanted to fight Xiang Yu on the battlefield.

Last time, he used his true strength to defeat the overlord of Western Chu, thereby leaving a mark in history. Of course, he was feeling depressed after staying in the palace, which was another reason why he wanted to go on an expedition.

On the fifth day of June, under the scorching sun, Fusu left Xianyang with 30,000 Imperial Guards and headed south. The second stage of the Qin-Chu War finally arrived.
