Chapter 296: The Way of Ming Jun
After Fusu sent the army away, he, Chen Ping, and Zhang Liang turned back to Xianyang City, but in his heart he still wanted to personally lead the troops to fight on the northern border and kill all the invading Huns.
Except for Chen and Zhang, who were with him, they quickly saw what he was thinking. In fact, they all understood Fusu's thoughts. It was only after the hard persuasion of them and other ministers that Fusu finally agreed not to do so.
Going out for the expedition. Looking at Fusu's appearance at this time, both of them knew that Fusu must still be worried about this. In the end, Zhang Liang was the first to speak: "Is the emperor still thinking about joining the army to fight to the north?"
Fusu smiled reluctantly: "Yes, it's not that I can't trust General Meng and the others. It's actually that I also want to do my best for our great Qin Dynasty. I think that now that I am the emperor, I can only hide in Xianyang. This really makes me
I feel so ashamed." He sighed again and again.
Chen Ping said on the side: "Your Majesty is now concerned about the safety of our Daqin and the Central Plains. How can you tread lightly on dangerous ground? If there is a mistake, the peaceful situation that countless soldiers have sacrificed their lives for will be lost again, and then all the people in the world will be lost."
We are going to suffer again, how can the emperor bear it? The Xiongnu barbarians are just a group of thieves who use force to plunder. Han Xin and Meng Tian, two first-class generals of our Qin Dynasty, have come to fight, and there are more than 100,000 troops. Those Huns
It’s bound to end here.”
This statement may be used to offend those kings who are completely ignorant of history and are overjoyed in their achievements, but for Fusu, who knew that the Huns would exist for hundreds of years, this statement is obviously outrageous. If the Huns are really so easy to deal with,
With Qin Shihuang's talent and strategy, he had wiped them out instead of just sending Meng Tian to drive them away and then build the Great Wall. But saying this would only boost others' ambitions and destroy his own prestige, so Fusu had to argue from another angle, although he knew this
The next attack on the Xiongnu in the north was completely hopeless: "I remember that before the Qin Dynasty unified the world, the monarchs of various countries often personally led their troops to fight against the enemy. Otherwise, many monarchs would not have died in battle. Why?
At that time, the monarch was not afraid of danger and dared to take risks?"
"..." Zhang Liang and Zhang Liang were stunned at the same time. They really couldn't think of a reply to Fusu's words, because Fusu's words were reasonable and well-founded. However, Chen Ping quickly found an explanation: "The Emperor and that
How can we compare it with the monarchs of that time? The monarchs at that time could only govern hundreds of miles, and the generals under his command were also limited. If the monarch did not go out in person, it would be impossible to win the battle. But now the emperor is the lord of the world, and his body is
The safety of the world is at stake, and there are countless good generals. When the Xiongnu and other traitors come out, of course it is up to the ministers to do it for them." After saying these words, Chen Ping sighed, and he couldn't help but admire himself for finding such a reason to persuade the emperor.
Already.
Fusu smiled when he heard this. He knew that these were all excuses. There must be some reasons why the ministers unanimously refused to let him lead troops, so he turned his attention to Zhang Liang: "Zifang,
I have a lot of trust in you, and I am not a foolish king who exaggerates crimes with his words. Please tell me the reasons that even the Prime Minister dare not say, so that I can be convinced."
Zhang Liang was stunned at first, and then glanced at Chen Ping. Seeing the embarrassment on his face, he knew that Fusu would not give up until he learned the real reason. After weighing it, he decided to make them real
Firstly, he believed that Fusu was as good as he said, and would not incriminate himself with his words. Secondly, he felt that Fusu should also be allowed to understand the truth, so that if the same thing happened in the future, he would think of it.
This point. "As the emperor of our Great Qin, and now the lord of the entire world, you must not let anything go wrong." The previous words were no different from what Chen Ping just said. Fusu raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhang Liang.
, obviously a little dissatisfied with him. Zhang Liang hurriedly continued: "If the emperor goes to the border, it will have an motivating effect on our army, but it will also put a lot of pressure on the soldiers. What if
The Emperor has made some mistake with these soldiers. Even if the Emperor does not accuse them, I am afraid that they will not be able to see my father in Da Qin grow old. And after the Emperor arrived at the border, those Generals Meng, General Han, etc. who could have directly issued orders
People would have asked the emperor for his opinion first, which might delay the war, which would also be very detrimental to our Qin's fight against the Xiongnu. Therefore, after discussing with the prime minister and other adults, I decided to dissuade the emperor from going to the northern border. I
In vain, I thought that it was disrespectful to punish the emperor, so I ask the emperor to punish me, but I also ask the emperor to understand the painstaking efforts of the ministers and sit in Xianyang City as a backing for our army." At the end of the sentence, Zhang Liang got off his horse and knelt down.
In front of Fusu, waiting for his fate.
Seeing Zhang Liang telling all the real reasons, Chen Ping felt very uneasy. Although Fusu had always been very lenient to his ministers, Chen Ping had seen Fusu mercilessly punish Li Heng, the man who betrayed him.
He didn't know whether Fusu would be angry because they kept the news from him, so he jumped off his horse and knelt down with Zhang Liang.
Fusu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "So that's the reason. I never thought of this. Now that I think about it, if I were there, the soldiers at the border would indeed spend a lot of effort to serve me. When the time comes,
I'm afraid that they really won't be interested in fighting. It seems that I'd better not go, so that they can deal with the Huns with all their strength." At this point, Fusu saw the two men kneeling in front of the horse and couldn't help laughing: "
What's wrong with you two? I said just now that I won't incriminate myself with my words. Could it be that I'm going to go back on my words now? Don't forget that I am the emperor, and you are not joking. And your concerns are right. In order to win, I
It's really better not to go. You guys get up." After waking up the two of them, Fusu said solemnly: "But I still want to give my second beloved Qing a warning. If you have anything to do with me in the future, just tell me.
Xu Shiyan, don’t beat around the bush anymore, I’m not the kind of person who can’t listen to advice, I just want to be honest with my ministers. Do you remember?”
Chen and Zhang were really happy and ashamed when they heard Fusu's words. They said in unison: "I have received the decree and will tell the emperor frankly from now on. I will not dare to hide anything anymore."
Fusu nodded with satisfaction: "That's right. If I want to be a wise king, I must start by being good at accepting advice. If you listen to both sides, you will be enlightened, and if you listen to one side, you will be dark. Think about Mrs. Tang..." Fusu suddenly stopped at this point,
I remembered that Tang Taizong Li Shiming would not appear until thousands of years later, so I couldn't just say it out loud at once.
However, Chen and Zhang were attracted by Fusu's words and did not notice his slip of the tongue at all. After a while, Zhang Liangcai said: "If you listen to both sides of a good sentence, you will be enlightened, and if you listen to one part of it, you will be dark. Your Majesty will teach you how to be a wise king and cultivate the Holy Lord deeply."
I understand it from my heart, and I surrender." Chen Ping on the other side also clicked his tongue and said yes.
Fusu just laughed, feeling a little embarrassed that he had stolen the famous sayings of his "predecessors".
The three of them talked all the way and returned to the palace before they knew it. Then they parted. Fusu went back to the palace, while Zhang Liang and Zhang Liang hurried back to their respective mansions. On this day, Fusu once again knew why.
The emperor should pay attention to things. He decided to take the eight words he blurted out just now as the criteria for his emperor, so that he could make fewer mistakes and become a wise emperor who could truly revive the Qin Dynasty.
If he wants to become a wise king and revive the Qin Dynasty, Fusu still has a powerful enemy to deal with, that is, the Huns who have been attacking the city in Yunzhong County. Several days have passed, although the Huns have a day shift command
With the help of those simple siege equipment, they are much stronger than before, but facing the Yunzhong City with 70,000 to 80,000 troops garrisoned, they still cannot capture it quickly. When they first invaded the Central Plains that day, they relied on
Yanmen County was captured in one fell swoop in a surprise attack. It was because the defenders there were unprepared at first and were not used to the Huns having siege equipment, so they were easily taken down by them. But now Yunzhong is in trouble.
The same. No matter what method the Huns used to attack the city, the Qin people who defended the city could always put forward targeted defensive measures at the first time. In this way, the two sides started fighting one after another on the wall that was not too tall.
, but the result was the same as before. The Huns could not attack, but the Qin people who defended the city could not take advantage and could not defeat the enemy.
The constant consumption of time was nothing to the Qin people, and they could even use it to wait for reinforcements to arrive, but it was unbearable for the Huns. After all, they did not plunder too much food and grass from other places.
Even the dried meat he brought with him was almost exhausted, but the cloud was still standing there, which really discouraged the Huns. In addition, thinking that his relatives on the grassland were still waiting for him to grab the food and go back, the Huns
The soldiers were even more impatient. If Maodun hadn't ordered the city to be captured out of anger, they would have changed their goals long ago.
The leaders of each tribe originally thought of following Mao Dun to the Central Plains to make a fortune. Unexpectedly, these days they have only seen men and horses from their own tribes die in battle, and the food they brought was eaten, but they have not been able to achieve anything.
As a result, they could no longer follow Mao Dun, so they came to see Mao Dun together on this day, asking him to give everyone an explanation, and at the same time, they also advised him to give up Yunzhong City, which had been unable to be conquered for a long time, and find another more powerful one.
A city that is easy to capture, otherwise they would take their own people and leave, leaving Maodun to fight the Qin army alone.
In fact, Mao Dun also felt regret at this time. It was only because of his own face that he had to continue to let people attack the city. He felt like he was riding a tiger and it was difficult to get off. This was related to his face as the Great Chanyu. Now these heads
What the people said made Maodun think about giving up the city, so he immediately agreed with the opinions of the leaders and decided to evacuate this place.
