Chapter 280 Helpless Decision
Although Han Xin kept saying that he had something to say, he still couldn't say anything when he reached his lips. This made Fusu very puzzled. He couldn't help but glanced at Han Xin sideways and said, "Why are you such a mother-in-law today?"
Isn't there anything you can't say to my face? Just say it, I'm not a person who will be guilty of anything."
After Han Xin took a deep breath, he asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, how do you plan to arrange the more than 2,000 Chu soldiers who surrendered?"
Fusu chuckled and said: "What big deal do I think it is? It's just two thousand Chu troops. Since I promised Xiang Yu not to harm them, I can't break my promise. After the master returns to Xianyang, I will let them stay.
Those who want to serve our Great Qin, I can let them continue to serve as soldiers; those who do not want to, I will send them back to the Chu land and let them become common people."
"No, Your Majesty." Han Xin said urgently, "The Chu people have the greatest enmity with me, the Qin people. If these two thousand Chu troops return to their hometown, I am afraid they will not be at peace. Let alone keeping them in the army."
They won't, and even if they are willing, we can't guarantee the loyalty of these Chu people, and they will really help us, Da Qin, when something happens."
Fusu said indifferently: "When the Chu people had more than 100,000 troops under Xiang Yu, I was not afraid. I defeated them again and again. Now that I only have more than 2,000 people, how can I be the enemy of Da Qin?"
Woolen cloth?"
Han Xin solemnly said: "Your Majesty is wrong. After I, the First Emperor of Qin, destroyed the Six Kingdoms, which country would be able to become my enemy? But more than ten years later, wouldn't there still be remnants of the Six Kingdoms who come out to cause trouble? Now, don't we?
If we send these two thousand Chu troops back to the Chu land, they will definitely cultivate a new Chu army there.
When the army comes out, maybe within a few years, the Chu people will become a serious problem for our great Qin Dynasty. And when Xiang Yu committed suicide that day, I had carefully looked at the faces of the Chu people and found that they were all full of grief and indignation.
I, the Qin Dynasty, still have strong hostility, so I will seriously surrender to us."
Hearing what Han Xin said, Fusu couldn't help but think of an ancient poem: The wild fire will not burn out, but the spring breeze will blow again. I am afraid that the Chu people's hatred of Qin will become deeper and deeper, and it will not be because of this failure.
And forget it. Fusu fell into deep thought. If these two thousand Chu troops returned to their hometowns, based on their interpersonal relationships, I believe it would not take long to organize a new Chu army. By then, they would have become the stars in the prairie fire.
fire, when the time comes
He had to send a large army to quell the rebellion, and the world would never be truly peaceful, and the people would never have a good life. The most important thing is that he now has a powerful enemy, the Huns, to deal with. If the Chu people rebel and delay
If the Qin army was hindered, the battle with the Xiongnu might not go so smoothly. Thinking of this, Fusu looked at Han Xin and asked: "What do you think, General Yihan, I should do with these two thousand Chu troops?"
Should we leave them in Xianyang?"
Han Xin shook his head and said: "Although keeping these two thousand useless people in Xianyang can ensure that they will not cause trouble, we still have to pay attention to them at all times to prevent them from causing trouble in Xianyang City, so I do not agree with keeping them.
In Xianyang. In fact, if you want to prevent these Chu people from causing trouble, I have the simplest and most effective way to report it to the emperor. This is why I came to see the emperor tonight."
Fusu looked at Han Xin for a long time. He had already guessed what Han Xin was going to say. No wonder he was hesitant all the time. "I am the emperor of the Central Plains and the master of Chinese characters in the world. Since I have promised Xiang Yu not to embarrass his generals
, it should be mentioned
I can do it. But if I am really like Han Xin said, leaving these two thousand people in the world is indeed a trouble. Getting rid of them can ensure the stability of the Chu land and even the Central Plains. Should I not keep my promise and kill them?" Fu Fu?
Su kept thinking in his heart, this is indeed
It is a difficult matter to decide. If he, as an emperor, can go against the grain, then his emperor's sincerity will definitely be criticized, and how can he convince the public? That day I heard with my own ears that he agreed to spare the lives of those Chu soldiers.
There are people all over the army, it’s really
It was difficult to stop the crowd. Fusu felt very embarrassed. He stood up and began to pace slowly in the tent. Han Xin was waiting quietly on the side, waiting for Fusu to give an answer. He
Of course, I hope Fusu will acquiesce to his idea.
After a while, Fusu's frown suddenly relaxed, and he ordered: "Come here, bring me two jars of good wine. Today I will have a few drinks with General Han." Han Xin was confused.
He looked at Fusu, wondering why he suddenly asked for wine and what it had to do with the suggestion he made. But since the emperor said so, of course he could only accompany him.
After a while, the wine and several dishes to go with the wine were brought in. Fusu was not polite and filled the wine bowl in one go, then raised his hand and drank every drop of the full bowl of wine.
Seeing this, Han Xin hurriedly poured a glass of wine to accompany him. Unexpectedly, just as he raised the wine bowl, Fusu drank another bowl of wine. The speed was jaw-dropping.
After Han Xin had finished two bowls, Fusu had already drank half of the jar of wine, and he was lying on the table because of the rising drunkenness. Han Xin put down the wine and wanted to help him get on the bed, but at the same time he felt sorry for him.
The emperor felt it was a pity that he did not finally adopt his opinion. Unexpectedly, he helped Fusu up and he
Fusu said vaguely: "I...I've had some drinks. This wine is indeed strong enough. I must be...I'm afraid I'll sleep until noon tomorrow after being so drunk. You...you have to keep an eye on the army for me. You can't."
...Don't let anything happen." At this point, Fusu collapsed on the couch and fell asleep.
Han Xin carefully covered Fusu with the quilt, and there was a hint of admiration and a hint of understanding in his eyes. It turned out that the purpose of the drunk emperor was to make it easier for him. When Han Xin walked out of Fusu's tent, he had a look in his eyes.
He only had strong murderous intentions, so of course he would not miss this perfect opportunity.
But Fusu in the tent opened his eyes at this moment, his face full of guilt and pain. It's not that he has never killed people. After he started fighting, killing two thousand people was a trivial matter, but now he is going to be killed.
The two thousand men surrendered, and they surrendered without the power to resist. This was not something he could accept. But for the sake of the people of the world and the sake of the Qin Dynasty, he still had to acquiesce to this behavior, so he only
He could pretend to be drunk and leave everything in Han Xin's hands, but Fusu knew that the hand holding the butcher knife was actually always under his control. Full of guilt, Fusu stumbled up from the couch and picked up the knife again.
The wine jar, this time he no longer poured the wine into the bowl, but drank the wine from the jar. When the jar of wine was finished, Fusu was completely drunk and fell on the couch.
Got unconscious.
Xiang Zhuang and Xiang Ta were also detained in a small tent together with other Chu soldiers. Because there were constant patrols of Qin soldiers around, they did not talk much. Until midnight, I don’t know whether it was because of the Qin soldiers.
Afraid of the cold and no longer wanting to keep vigil, Xiang Zhuang relaxed his supervision of them. Xiang Zhuang said to Xiang Ta: "Brother, what do you think this Qin people will do to us?"
Xiang Ta shook his head blankly: "I don't know either. It seems that they want to send us back to Chu."
Xiang Zhuang said with deep hatred in his eyes: "As long as we can return to Chu, we will have a chance to avenge the overlord. I think these two thousand soldiers are also full of hatred for the Qin people. We can learn from the Yue King Gou Jian
, wait for a few years until our troops in Chu are well-prepared, and then fight back!" As he said this, he looked at the others, and everyone was as full of hatred as him, and nodded silently.
Xiang Ta said: "You must not express what you think, otherwise I am afraid that the Qin people will go back on their word and be disadvantageous to us. Remember that our flesh is on the chopping block now. Only forbearance is the way to protect ourselves."
Opportunity and blood hatred." The soldiers nodded in agreement when they heard this. Although there was no loud voice of promise before, the silence now made people feel a more powerful force, a power called hatred.
Just when everyone in the Chu army was silent, a burst of panicked shouts from the Qin soldiers suddenly came from outside the tent: "The water is breaking out! The water is breaking out! Everyone, hurry up and put out the fire!" Then there were bursts of hurried footsteps heading towards
Xiang Zhuang and Xiang Ta looked at each other and suddenly remembered that when the Qin army was stationed today, the tent of their emperor Fusu was in the middle. Could the water in question belong to Fusu?
A tent? Thinking of this, the two of them felt happy, but then they thought that there must be many guards around the emperor. Even if there was a fire, Fusu, the emperor, would definitely be rescued, and their joy suddenly disappeared.
Suddenly a bold idea flashed into Xiang Zhuang's mind, and he whispered a few words into Xiang Zhuang's ear. After Xiang Zhu hesitated for a moment, he gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.
After a while, the tent where the Chu army was imprisoned was opened, and a Chu soldier came out quietly and rushed to the middle. Perhaps it was because the Qin soldiers rushed to protect important generals and
The fire was put out, so there were no people watching around their tents. The Chu army felt that God was really helping them, and they were more confident and kept moving forward.
Then they saw a Qin army of about a hundred people in front of them, protecting a person in the middle and looking at the fire in the distance. From a distance, the person among the hundreds of people looked a bit like Fusu.
, Xiang Zhuang was even more sure of his judgment, and at the same time he was very excited. He didn't expect that the ancestors of Chu State would appear and let him see the lonely Emperor of Qin. He waved his hand, and the soldiers of Chu State who were following him
