PS: I wish you all a happy Children's Day!!!:)

Fusu walked slowly in Shangjun City. At this time, the city was full of ruins after the war. Some houses had to be demolished to deal with the enemy who attacked the city and were used as rolling logs. Some houses were also moved from outside the city.

The powerful arrows shot in were broken, but fortunately there were not many casualties among the people. However, the soldiers guarding the city suffered heavy casualties. Because the battle had just ended, the place where the wounded were placed during the war had not been completely vacated.

It was clean, but there were still many injured soldiers lying in a simple resting place on the roadside.

Looking at all this, Fusu felt that he had harmed them. Maybe they wouldn't have suffered so much if he was not around. Li Heng, who was walking beside him, saw Fusu's face and guessed what he was thinking.

: "The prince is saying that one battle will lead to the death of thousands of bones, so you don't have to take it too seriously. Hu Hai and the others are going against the grain. Even if you don't, someone will sooner or later do it."

"Yes, if I don't rebel, there will be people who will rebel." Thinking of this, Fusu felt a little better, and turned to Li Heng and said: "My order, we must try our best to help the people who have suffered losses.

We must also do our best to heal the wounded soldiers. At the same time, we must bury those who have died in battle properly. This is all we can do."

Li Heng nodded hurriedly and said: "I'll give the order right away. Prince, you haven't rested for a few days, so you'd better take a rest at the hotel."

Fusu agreed and said, "Let's have a celebration banquet today, but I won't be attending. I'll leave it to you and General Meng to express my condolences to the soldiers." After saying that, he walked towards his residence.

Fusu slept for six hours before waking up. When he woke up, he saw Xiao Tao looking at him beside the bed. "Prince, are you awake?" Xiao Tao said happily.

"Hmm." Fusu stretched his waist, "What time is it now?"

"It's almost nine o'clock now."

"What? I slept for a whole night?" Fusu asked in shock.

"Yes, the prince is really too tired." Xiao Tao smiled and handed the cloth to wipe his face into Fusu's hand.

"You'll find Li Heng and Meng Tian later, and we'll discuss the aftermath." Fusu wiped his face and said to a guard on the side. Then he turned to Xiao Tao and asked: "I've been raped in the past few days.

Are you scared?"

"Xiao Tao was not scared," Xiao Tao shook her head and said, "Xiao Tao is just worried about the prince's safety, and is afraid of you..."

"Don't worry, this prince is guarded by so many guards, what danger can there be?" As he spoke, Fusu began to do push-ups without interruption. At this time, everyone was already surprised by his weird movements.

Weird.

After a while, Meng Tian and his wife came. "Did the prince sleep well?" Meng Tian asked as soon as he came in.

"Very good. Has General Meng calculated the losses of our army and the losses of the enemy?" Fusu was not polite when he met him and went straight to the point.

"A total of 20,000 people were killed in my Shangjun County, and more than 10,000 people were seriously injured. Others are fine. The casualties in Beidi County are much smaller than those in Shangjun County, with only nearly 10,000 casualties." Meng Tian obviously has a complete understanding of the battle.

Gains and losses.

"That means we lost nearly half of our troops in this battle." Fusu said sadly.

"But the imperial court's losses were much greater than ours." Li Heng consoled him at the side, "Only more than 20,000 people in Beidi County fled back to Xianyang. As for me, I also annihilated nearly 60,000 people in the County."

"As the saying goes, if you kill 10,000 enemies, you will lose 8,000. We were able to kill only 50,000 soldiers while killing 150,000 enemies. This is already considered a great victory." Meng Tian also said.

"But we can't afford the loss. When the court sends a large army next time, we won't have so many troops to resist."

"Prince, please be at ease. After this battle, the morale of our army has been greatly boosted, and the governors from various places who were originally dissatisfied with Hu Hai may also turn to our side. At the same time, the court's 200,000 troops are already the largest that can be produced at present.

We have enough power, and at least this year we should not be able to attack us anymore." Li Heng also said.

"I hope so. Let's go to the various armies and see the sergeants." Fusu took the lead and walked out of the room, and Meng Tian quickly followed after them.

Just when Fusu and others began to reorganize the army and recover after the war, Zhao Changke led 20,000 defeated generals back to Xianyang.

At Zhao Gao's house.

"What do you want me to say about you?" Zhao Gao looked at Zhao Changke, "A hundred thousand men can't take down a city with less than 50,000 men, so you still want to be a Taiwei and command the troops of our Great Qin? I

It seems you are just talking nonsense."

"Sir, it is true that I underestimated the enemy this time and fell into Meng Tian's scheme. If I meet him again next time, I will definitely defeat him." Zhao Changke drooped his head like a defeated rooster.

"What's next? You've reduced a hundred thousand troops to only twenty thousand. Do you think the emperor will give you another chance? This time, I'm afraid dismissal from office will be a frivolous matter, and he may even kill you.

." Zhao Gao said angrily.

"Brother...brother, you have to save me." As soon as Zhao Changke heard that his life was in danger, Zhao Changke wiped the ground and knelt down in front of Zhao Gao, without calling him by his clan title.

"What do you want me to say, hey." Zhao Gao looked at him and said, "Now the only people in our Zhao family who can really come into contact with the core of power in the court are you and me. If you are really killed or expelled from the court

, I can't cry alone. But don't think that I can really cover the sky with one hand in the court. Don't think that I am now inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. I put Li Si into the sky prison. In fact, I want to deal with my people.

There are still many people here. They may take advantage of this defeat to come and cause trouble for me, and now they must hand over the blame for the defeat to others."

"What do you mean, sir?" Zhao Changke looked at Zhao Gao very seriously. He was just a military commander and he had no idea about some of the battles in the court.

"Now you can only find a scapegoat. When you see the emperor tomorrow, you must be the first to accuse him of being a spy from Fusu. Just say that this failure is because he reported the general information to Fusu." Zhao Gao said expressionlessly.

"Then who is good?" Zhao Changke has no idea now and will only follow Zhao Gao's arrangements.

"Your deputy general Pang Wanyu is a ready-made one. Do you understand what I mean?"

"But there must be evidence to say that General Pang collaborated with the enemy, otherwise some people may be dissatisfied." Zhao Changke said worriedly.

"It's not easy to get evidence, I will ask someone to do it. As long as you remember, when you see the emperor tomorrow, you must insist that Pang Wanyu is a spy, which is why the army failed. Do you understand?" Zhao

Gao stared at Zhao Changke and said coldly.

"I...I understand." Zhao Changke felt like he was breaking out in a cold sweat.

Looking at Zhao Changke's leaving figure, Zhao Gao said to himself: "I can't make any mistakes now. Although Li Si is in the prison, I still can't get rid of him. It seems that he still has power in the court. I want to use it."

This is an opportunity to look for his power that I don’t know about in the court.”

After that, everything happened as Zhao Gao expected. Zhao Changke insisted in front of Hu Hai that it was Pang Wanyu who collaborated with the enemy and leaked the news that led to the failure of the battle. Moreover, someone found out that he and Fusu colluded with each other at Pang Wanyu's home.

The letter, and his personal soldiers testified that he had contact with people sent by Fusu. Everything was so impeccable, so Pang Wanyu was sentenced to death by car-breaking, and his whole family was also executed.

, as for Zhao Changke, he only got scolded a few times and fined him a year's salary. But everyone in the court knew that Pang Wanyu was just a scapegoat, just a piece of equipment used by Zhao Gao to keep Zhao Changke's car.

He is just a pawn, but they can't tell because the evidence is conclusive. If you speak for him, Zhao Gao can take the opportunity to say that you and him are in the same party, and everyone has to protect themselves wisely.

However, the failure of this battle did not wake up Hu Hai, but made his atrocities even more heinous. Because of Pang Wanyu's so-called collaboration with the enemy, he carried out another purge in the court, leaving not many people left.

There are even fewer loyal and patriotic people, because those people used to be partial to the more monarch-like Fusu. With their departure, the court has been completely controlled by a group of sycophants and Zhao Gao's confidants.

.

Hu Hai's determination to destroy Fusu would not change just because of the defeat of these two armies. That day he called Zhao Gao again. "Zhao Qing, look where we can deploy our troops to deal with it now."

Where is Fusu?"

Zhao Gao thought for a while and said: "Now that we can no longer mobilize large armies around Xianyang, we can only recruit troops from the Central Plains."

"But the Central Plains is the homeland of the Six Kingdoms. I'm afraid that once the troops and horses are mobilized, they will cause trouble again." Hu Hai said awkwardly.

"Emperor, I wonder which one of the Six Kingdoms and Fusu is the real thorn in your heart?"

"The Six Kingdoms have been destroyed for more than ten years. I think their power is not as strong as it was back then. Fusu has just raised its army and its power is growing step by step. It seems that my real biggest problem is still Fusu.

." Hu Hai said slowly, "Okay, then we will mobilize 300,000 horses from the Central Plains, and I will annihilate Fusu in one fell swoop."

"The emperor is wise, as long as he sends another 300,000 troops, it will be like Mount Tai pressing down on the top, and little Fusu will be shattered to pieces." Zhao Gao immediately flattered him.

So one after another imperial edicts were issued from Xianyang, requiring each county to send thousands or hundreds of strong men, so that they must rush to Taiyuan before December, and then use Taiyuan as a foothold to launch an attack on the county.

Anyone who is late will be punished without mercy.

So all the counties and counties in the world began to recruit troops, and all the troops rushed to Taiyuan County day and night. However, because of the last mentioned one, latecomers were to be executed, which caused the historical Chen Sheng and Wu Guang Uprising to break out more than half a year early.
