Chapter 288 Sending troops
Suddenly seeing Meng Tian vomiting blood, everyone present panicked. Some officials who were closer to him stepped forward to help him, while others stood there blankly, not knowing what to do. Fusu also
He stood up from the throne and came to Meng
Tian came forward with a worried look on his face and said: "General Meng, please take care of your health first. I and other ministers will take care of the rest for you." He said loudly, "Come on, please go and invite Wang Jin to the hall." This Wang Jin is
The imperial doctor in the Fusu Palace.
After hearing Fusu's words, Meng Tian was moved and felt a little afraid to accept such a great favor. He hurriedly wanted to refuse, but because his blood kept rising, he couldn't even speak, so he could only accept it.
.After a while, Wang Jin rushed over to diagnose and treat Meng Tian and took his pulse.
After that, Wang Jin pondered for a long time before saying to Fusu: "Your Majesty, General Meng's illness is caused by years of fatigue. Coupled with the momentary excitement just now, his illness was completely induced. If you want him to recover,
, you must take good care of yourself and rest for a few months, so that General Meng can recover."
"Okay, as long as you are sure that General Meng will be fine, I can rely on you in any way." Fusu said, he could already think of the reason why Meng Tian suddenly fell ill this time. Ever since Fusu traveled here, every step he took has changed.
Went with Meng Tian, no matter what
Whether it was raising an army, capturing Xianyang, or even fighting the Chu people, everything was inseparable from Meng Tian's help. As a minister, the pressure on his shoulders was obviously heavier than his own, even though his body was very strong due to long-term battlefield experience.
I can’t stand the endless toil either.
Tired, something happened to Meng Yi again this time, which made Meng Tian worried about his brother's safety and feeling ashamed of Fusu, so he suddenly became ill. After thinking about this, Fusu also took care of Meng Tian.
I feel a little guilty. During this period of time, I have
Paying more and more attention to Zhang Liang and Han Xin, they forgot about Meng Tian, who had been following him through life and death. In order to compensate Meng Tian, Fusu had decided not to pursue Meng Yi's misstep this time, and also wanted to keep his life.
Meng Yi’s life.
At Wang Jin's order, several chamberlains came over to help Meng Tian out of the hall and sent him home. After they all left, Fusu continued the question: "Now all the northern counties are in trouble.
Under the hooves of the Huns, I don’t know who among you can share my worries.” In fact, in Fusu’s mind
Among them, the person he really wanted to send out to deal with the Huns was Meng Tian. Whether it was his calm personality or the previous great victories against the Huns, he was enough to take command. Unfortunately, it is no longer possible for Meng Tian to go north to fight against the Huns.
, so Fusu could only pick out a suitable candidate from among the others.
Han Xin immediately stood up and said: "I am willing to go. As long as I give you 50,000 horses, I will be able to expel the invading Huns from our territory in Qin."
As soon as he finished speaking, another person also said: "I am also willing to share the emperor's worries. I have not made any meritorious service since I returned to the Qin Dynasty, but the emperor treated me so kindly, which really makes me ashamed. Now I can't repay the emperor."
It's time to kill and reuse the great favor.
"When Fusu looked around, he found that the person speaking was Long Qie, a general from Chu State. What he said was true. When fighting Xiang Yu, Fusu would not let him, a general from Chu State, lead troops to deal with his own people.
So until now, he has not made any contribution to Qin.
After thinking for a while, Fusu said: "Since both of you are determined to serve our great Qin, I will let you lead the troops north together. There are now thirty-eight thousand elite soldiers who have arrived in Xianyang, plus I
Allocate 20,000 horses from Xianyang City, and you will take these 60,000 horses to the north. You must keep the Xiongnu invading enemies out of our Central Plains city. After reinforcements from other counties arrive, I will send people to support.
you."
The two people hurriedly agreed: "Here!". Seeing that everything was settled, the other officials also breathed a sigh of relief. Then Fusu discussed with them the order of men and horses and the matters of food, grass and baggage.
Just let everyone disperse.
After all the courtiers had retreated, Fusu turned around and returned to the harem. After changing into ordinary people's clothes, Tie called two soldiers and rushed to Mengtian's mansion for a visit. From here, Fusu went to Mengtian's mansion.
On the one hand, it was to comfort Meng Tian and urge the doctor to do a good job in treatment. On the other hand, it was also to get some methods to deal with the Huns from Meng Tian. After all, if we talk about
No one in the whole court can compare with Meng Tian in terms of experience in fighting the Huns. Although Han Xin and Long Qie are also good at using soldiers, they have never fought against the Huns. So although Fusu gave them a large number of soldiers
, but they didn’t really believe that they could drive out the Huns in one battle. They had to wait until all the troops arrived before doing anything.
After some treatment by Wang Jin, Meng Tian finally stopped vomiting blood, but he was still weak and could only lean on the couch and talk to Fusu. Seeing the shame on his face, Fusu hurriedly comforted: "General Meng and
Our country, the Qin State, and I have both made great contributions. I will not do it because of Meng Yi.
I blame you for what happened. Now I only give you one will, which is to cultivate yourself well at home, and you will continue to serve me well." Then Fusu changed the topic and asked, "The same goes for the general and the Huns.
We have fought many times, but is there any way to defeat the enemy?"
Meng Tian pondered for a moment and then said: "As far as I know, the Huns rely on their fast horses and strong bows. Those Huns have been able to ride on horseback since they were young, so their riding and shooting skills are far better than those of us in the Central Plains.
People, but now we, the Qin cavalry, have horses built by the emperor.
With saddles and stirrups, the cavalry is not inferior to those of the Huns. However, the ferocity of the Huns is still not something that our soldiers and horses in the Central Plains can resist. The reason why I was able to defeat the Huns many times in the past was just the strength of the troops.
It’s just an advantage, so I, Da Qin, want to win
The Xiongnu must rely on their military strength to be several times that of the enemy and have a good strategy for using troops. Judging from the recent battle reports, the Huns' methods of taking our two cities this time are also quite powerful. Obviously, they are no longer as strong as they were back then.
Usually I only know how to be brave, but I have become able to use some strategies.
, this will make the threat to me from the Huns even greater. Therefore, I ask the emperor to ask the generals who lead the troops to defend first. As long as we defend, the Huns will be half defeated. If we attack rashly,
, my brother Meng Yi is a lesson learned from their mistakes."
Fusu knew that what Meng Tian said was very pertinent, but the Qin in his hands had just emerged from the war, and its military strength was already far inferior to that of Qin Shihuang when he sent Meng Tian to attack the Xiongnu, so it was impossible to send hundreds of thousands of troops now.
The army went to deal with the Huns, so they had to
Think of another way in other aspects. Although Fusu was not very sure about this matter, in order not to upset Meng Tian too much and affect his condition, he still nodded and said: "General Meng's words are very important to our Great Qin's defeat of the Huns."
This attack will be very helpful, you can rest peacefully and wait for the good news from the north."
At noon on the next day, the 60,000-strong army was ready to go. Fusu bid farewell to him at the north gate of Xianyang. Holding a bowl of wine in his hand, Fusu said loudly: "Soldiers, now that the Huns have invaded the border, the counties to the north of us have started fighting again.
It's time for you to show off your skills and make great achievements. I'm only here waiting for you to win.
News of your return!" He drank the wine in one gulp. When all the soldiers saw that Fusu, as the emperor, came to the city gate in person to bid farewell to him, they were very moved and shouted: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will wait for you.
The Huns who will invade in the future will kill every single one of them, so that they will not dare to invade our country again in the future!"
The army marched slowly to the beat of the war drums. All the soldiers were thinking about how to get to the north as soon as possible and kill all the Huns. They all went there with confidence. There were only two generals, Han Xin and Long Qie.
But their hearts are heavy because they know
Although the troops sent out this time seemed aggressive, in fact the Huns' military strength was not inferior to theirs. Fusu had specifically talked to them the day before and mentioned that the Huns should not be underestimated, and conveyed Meng Tian's words to them.
Two people. Although Han Xin had some doubts about his ability to lead troops,
He had great confidence, but he still admired Meng Tian, who had assisted Fusu earlier than him. Now even he said that the Huns were difficult to deal with and asked them to focus on defense. Obviously, this expedition must be a success.
It was a tough battle, so his heart was not as relaxed as it was a few days ago.
. And Long Qie is actually more nervous than Han Xin. This is his first battle after surrendering to Fusu. This is the key to whether he can gain a foothold in Qin in the future, so naturally he cannot afford to lose anything. The generals and soldiers
With two completely different moods, I embarked on the road north...
At this time, in Yunzhong County, Zhou Xing and Guo Quanzhong were discussing whether they should send troops. Several days had passed, but there were still no troops coming from Xianyang, and the news from Yanmen was
The Qin army there has no chance of breaking through. If they don't send troops to rescue them now, I'm afraid that the tens of thousands of Qin soldiers will be defeated.
The soldiers were all going to die there, which neither Zhou Xing nor Guo Quanzhong wanted to see. Zhou Xing was silent for a while and then said: "Brother Guo, if we just stay here and watch the soldiers die there,
I, Zhou Xing, will never feel at ease in my life. Even if I made no mistakes and defended Yunzhong County, I am afraid I have made a big mistake."
Guo Quanzhong knew very well that the Huns had not wiped out the Qin army for so long because they were waiting for the defenders from other places to appear, but he, like Zhou Xing, could not pass his own level. In fact, neither of them was really
