Chapter 9 Unification

Seven days later, Fusu led his troops to land at the entrance of the Huai River and rode his horse towards Xianyang. Because Yingbu and Yingniang were too young and could not ride horses, Fusu specially bought a carriage in the town at the entrance of the sea for the two to ride, which made the two children even more moved.

The roads in ancient times were very rugged and bumpy, so for those who marched long distances, the expedition was a very painful task. The journey from the Huai River to Xianyang was less than 6,000 miles away. Although Fusu and others were all horse teams, it took nearly two months to enter Xianyang.

At this time, the Qin State had a clear autumn atmosphere. The fields in early October were full of golden yellow. Countless Qin farmers were busy in the fields with joy! This year, the Guanzhong Plain was harvested again, which was all thanks to the Zheng State Canal!

Fusu quietly entered Xianyang, but the omnipresent spy system and strict joint defense system in Qin State were still in the hands of the King of Qin as soon as Fusu returned to the residence. Qin Wang Zheng, who had not seen Fusu for more than two years, was very happy to hear the news and could not wait to summon Fusu immediately.

Fusu had no choice but to rest without even having to wait, so he rushed to the Nanshu study room.

"Father, mother, son Fusu, I pay tribute to you!" Fusu was still so respectful!

The queen was very happy when she saw Fusu and said first: "Wanger, get up quickly, no need to be polite!" Fusu responded and stood up with a smile.

The queen looked carefully, nodded and smiled, "I haven't seen you for more than two years. You have lost weight, but you have really grown up! It looks a bit like your father!"

King Zheng of Qin smiled unpredictably and said, "Yes, his tall figure, sharp eyes, and straight nose are like me, but his eyebrows are a little more delicate, not as majestic as me!"

The queen glared at Qin Wangzheng and smiled and said, "You will boast!"

King Zheng of Qin smiled as if he was pleased, turned to Fusu and said, "By the way, Wang'er, after General Wang returned to the capital, he said you want to stay in Chu for a trip. Where have you been in the past few months?"

Fusu smiled and said, "I have been traveling around the Chu area in Ji and Huai Shang in the past few months, checked the people's conditions and customs of Chu, and then went around the Qi country!"

King Zheng of Qin was surprised and said, "Have you gone to Qi State? Isn't that very dangerous?" Fusu smiled and said, "Although the Qi people have a million troops, the children are still seeing them as uninhabited, so why fear it!"

King Zheng of Qin was stunned when he heard this, nodded proudly and said, "Yes, Qi people are cowardly. Even if they have a large army of millions, why not be afraid of it! My son is really a big deal!"

The queen glared at Qin Wangzheng again and smiled at Fusu and said, "You have traveled so many places in the past few months. Have you gained anything?" Qin Wangzheng's expression became serious at this time, and he also wanted to hear what Fusu had seen in the past few months!

Fusu touched his nose, thought for a while, and said, "The people in Chu are simple and brave, especially Kuaiji is the most important! If you put heavy pressure on it, you will be rebelled soon! So my son suggested that the father consider it. Some of the more severe laws in our Qin State can be temporarily suspended in Chu State to avoid arousing civil rebellion!"

When Qin Wang Zheng heard this, his face changed from seriousness to severeness, and he frowned and did not speak for a while. The queen glanced at Fusu, as if she was blaming him for not knowing how to speak.

King Zheng of Qin was stunned when he heard this, obviously a little surprised: after all, his opponent who had been against Qin for hundreds of years suddenly "abandoned evil and went to good". This huge change made King Zheng of Qin a little surprised!

King Zheng of Qin suddenly stood up, paced back and forth indoors with a serious expression, and suddenly said, "When I think about it carefully, the Momen has never sent troops to stop our Qin from conquering and destroying various countries in recent years. It seems that the Momen is still aware of the current affairs and dare not go against our Qin again! But I hate private armed groups such as folk rangers the most, and all countries occupy all use heavy troops to eliminate such black sheep because it is said that 'heroes violate the ban with martial arts'! The Momen is the largest private armed group today. Regardless of whether he will harm the Qin Dynasty or not, it is a disaster, so it must be eradicated. But you can consider appropriately taking advantage of the lighter!"

Fusu smiled bitterly in his heart. Knowing that King Zheng of Qin had a deep prejudice against Mo Sect, he would not let Mo Sect go easily anyway. He had to say intimately: "It seems that it is impossible to complete the reform task of Mo Sect in front of King Qin's father, so he had to leave it to him before he ascended the throne!" So he spoke out: "Father, wise!"

King Qin looked at the hero sword on the case table and smiled and said, "I don't need this sword anymore. I have enough Qin sword. You have to work hard to get it, so you should keep it!" "Yes, Father!" Fusu also likes hero swords very much, but if King Qin's father forced him to ask for it, Fusu really had no choice!

King Zheng of Qin suddenly sat down, and said with a hint of embarrassment: "Wang'er, do you know that the father had appointed the old general Wang Jian as the Marquis of Pingyang the day before yesterday, and had a fief of Pingyang!" Fusu's heart moved and said respectfully: "My son knows, but General Wang is nearly 80 years old and can no longer serve the country. He has retired and returned home!"

King Zheng of Qin smiled and said, "Yes, General Wang is good to arrange it. It is just to destroy the Chu war. You will also lead the way, destroy the elite troops of Chu Xiang and Jing Qi, and conquer the capital of Chu Xinying. Such great contributions must be rewarded. But your power is already extremely powerful, and your father seems to have nothing to be rewarded, so it is very difficult!"

Fusu thought, "Yes, in the current situation, except for the father of Qin, the two highest powers in the Qin Dynasty, one is Wang Jian, and the second is me! But Wang Jian has retired from the mountains and forests and no longer compete with others. So today I am below one person, above ten thousand people, and there is no reward for the position of crown prince! But King Qin is unwilling to establish the crown prince early, so it seems very difficult!"

Fusu thought for a while and said with a smile: "Father is too worried! Let's do this, my son has two requests, and I'll just ask for permission from my father!" Qin Wang Zheng smiled and said with a smile: "Okay, Wanger can tell me!"

Fusu smiled and said, "The first thing is that my son and Wang Xia have been engaged for several years. If the general situation is basically settled today, it is time for a big wedding! So my son and I want to ask my father to give me a marriage. If you are solemn, just treat it as the first reward!"

King Zheng of Qin laughed loudly, looked at the queen, and saw that the queen was also looking at him with a smile, and nodded quickly, "Of course, Wang'er's wedding, how can the father not express his feelings? OK, father agrees!"

Fusu smiled and said, "The second thing is that the elite soldiers of the 'Wolf Fang. Pojun' were lost more than half of them in the battle to destroy Chu, and they need to be supplemented urgently! Moreover, I thought that the world was about to be pacified, so I, the Qin Dynasty, will face the strong enemy of the Huns in the grasslands in the north. The Huns came and went without a trace, and were as fierce as the wind. Without a powerful iron cavalry, I would like to expand the 'Wolf Fang. Pojun's troops to about 10,000 people, so that I can have a convenient army when dealing with the Huns in the future!"

King Zheng of Qin was stunned when he heard this, but today he was in a good mood. After thinking about it, he felt reasonable. In addition, Fusu had great achievements and had to express something, so he nodded and said, "Okay, you can go to each army to select elite soldiers and train them. I hope that this elite soldier can expand the territory of our Qin Dynasty in the future and show his power in the foreign land!" "Yes, Father!"

At this time, the queen smiled and said, "King, since Fusu can wait, it's better to set the wedding date as soon as possible and let them get married!" Qin Wang Zheng nodded and thought, "Let's do it, just set it at the beginning of winter. The Great Nuo celebration will be held during the beginning of winter to drive away evil ghosts. It's a festive day! Not bad, it's it!" Qin Wang Zheng waved his sleeves and made the final decision!

Fusu was overjoyed: "Thank you, Mother Queen!" King Zheng and Queen of Qin laughed!

On the day of the winter solstice, Fusu was the first prince to hold a grand wedding in Qin Wangzheng, and the wedding was quite grand. Not only did Qin Wangzheng order the whole country to celebrate for three days, but almost all the veterans and important officials of the country were invited to attend Fusu's banquet.

On the winter solstice, the huge Qin Palace was almost covered with festive red, and the red silk fluttered in the wind, turning the originally solemn and magnificent Qin Palace into a red ocean. Qin Wangzheng also fulfilled his promise: he used a wedding ceremony with almost 10,000 Tiger Army guards Fusu to hold the wedding festive and grand! It made Fusu exclaim in his heart: There is no regret in this life!

According to the meaning of Zong Zhengfu and Qin Wang Zheng, Wang Xia was appointed as the main wife, Qi Hong, Xiaochunfeng and Huofeng were both side women. Although the experienced Qi Hong was the first among all women in daily life, due to Wang Xia's prominent life experience and the favor of the King of Qin for the Wang Jian family, the ultimate identity of the main wife fell on Wang Xia. Fortunately, Wang Xia and Fusu met the earliest, and had always had a good relationship with the sisters, so no one was dissatisfied!

The days after the wedding were comfortable and busy. Although Fusu was in great physical strength, the task was quite heavy to settle seven wives! Therefore, during the period after the wedding, Fusu almost handed over all the military affairs of "Wolf Fang and Po Jun" to Xiao He, Cao Shen, Fan Tianshi and others, and he was "corrupt" for a while!

On this day, in the green pavilion in the back garden of the mansion, the water was rippling, the autumn wind blew, and the beautiful and pleasant sound of building was echoing in the garden. Accompanied by the seven girls, Fusu was comfortably on Wang Xia's legs in the pavilion, watching Qi Hong's jade hand gently stroking on the strings!

Suddenly, a sound of light footsteps came quickly from the bamboo bridge, and said respectfully outside the pavilion: "Your Majesty, Meng Tian, ​​Meng Yi and Wang Ben, the three generals outside the palace, were asking for a meeting. I wonder if you would not see you?" Fusu was stunned: "Wang Ben and Meng Tian are back?" He hurriedly said: "Please!"

Wuya, who reported the news outside the pavilion, hurried away. Since Fusu's wedding, he not only immediately selected several beautiful palace maids from the palace and Wuxin and other five others. He also reported to the King of Qin based on the accumulated merits of Wuxin and others, and recommended the five people to serve as the Central Lang under the command of the Nine Ministers, the rank is 2,000 pounds, which is equivalent to the position of prefect of a county, and is in charge of the escort of Lingyan Pavilion, which can be regarded as the success of the five people! Xiao He and Fan Tianshi were hired by Fusu as a military aide, Cao Shen was recommended as a second lieutenant, and Fang Qi was still the head of Lingyan Pavilion!

After a while, three generals, each wearing armor and stalking towards the bamboo bridge. It was Meng Tian’s brothers and Wang Ben!

Fusu stood up and whispered to Wang Xia and others: "You all retreat for the time being!" "Yes, husband!" The seven women bowed and retreated together.

"Your Majesty!" The three generals greeted each other!

Fusu smiled and said, "Please get up, three brothers, there is no one around now, so there is no need to be so polite! Please sit down!"

The three generals smiled and sat down in the pavilion.

Fusu said strangely: "Brother, second brother, aren't you in Yannan and Chubei? Why have you all returned to the capital?"

Wang Ben smiled and said, "We both received the order of the king, asking us to return to Beijing to report our work and receive rewards, and prepare to fight together!"

Fusu nodded and said, "So that's it. Why have you decided to start a war with one another?"

Meng Tian nodded and said, "Yes, the king has sent a warning to Qi State to issue an edict. The people of Qi refused but refused. Instead, they began to mobilize troops to set up defenses on the border. So the king specially summoned us and went back to Beijing to discuss how to fight together!"

Fusu smiled, his eyes flashed, and he said leisurely: "Have you already talked to you about the combat policy?"

Wang Ben smiled and said, "Yes, the king said, I will attack Linzi from Yannan, and Meng Tian will attack Linzi from Chubei. Whoever arrives first will stay in Linzi in the future! My brother Meng Tian and I have already issued a military order in front of the king!"

Fusu was stunned and saw Wang Ben's expression of excitement, but Meng Tian looked worried and smiled, "Thinking this way, the elder brother took advantage of it: from Yannan to Linzi, the terrain is easy to attack and difficult to defend, and according to reports, the Qi army is evenly distributed on all four borders, making it easier to attack and destroy; but the second brother is a little difficult. In addition to the terrain rising and steepering, the terrain is also directed to Linzi, and it is difficult to break it!"

Wang Ben smiled embarrassedly and said, "Yes, I'm taking advantage of my brother, but because of the geographical advantage, there is no way to give in!" Hearing Wang Ben's implication, it seemed that the victory scroll was already in his grasp.

Fusu thought to himself: "Wang Ben is a man who can fight, but he is a fool in the area of ​​governance! After I conquered Wei, I asked him to manage it temporarily, but his style was simple and crude, and he could only copy the old Qin rules, which made Wei's country resentful and famine-related! Alas, if he was asked to come to Linzi first, wouldn't the people in Qi suffer again? No, wait for me to let him back and help Meng Tian!"

Fusu smiled and said, "According to my wishes, it's better for me to be more restrained. It's better not to go to Linzi first!"

"Why?" Wang Ben was a little unhappy!

Fusu's face was serious and whispered: "Han, Zhao, Wei, Yan, and Chu has been destroyed. In addition to Han, Zhao and Chu two powerful countries were destroyed by General Wang, Wei and my elder brother, and Yan State was destroyed by General Wang and his elder brother. If Brother went to Linzi first, it could be said that the six kings of Guandong were destroyed by your Wang family. It is inevitable that the five kings of Guandong were destroyed by your Wang family. It is inevitable that they would not be suspected of being very successful! The bloody and old examples in ancient times seemed to be right in front of him. General Wang took the initiative to retire because of this. Brother Wang must have not had time to return to his hometown in Pingyang. You must think twice before doing things!"

When Wang Ben heard this, he couldn't help swallowing hard, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He was not stupid, otherwise he would not have been a famous general who used military service. But he was always focused on fighting and was not as good at politics as his father Wang Jian saw yesterday, so sometimes he seemed to be stubborn! When he heard Fusu said this, Wang Ben couldn't help but say nervously: "With the will of the emperor, should I take a slow-down strategy?"

Fusu shook his head and said, "No, that's worse! The eldest brother made a military order in front of his father, but he didn't have to go forward. What would he think if the father knew about it? He would definitely think that the eldest brother was neglecting the king's order, relying on his merits and being proud of himself, and it was difficult to control it. Maybe there would be more disasters in the future!"

Wang Ben's face gradually became pale. This attack could not be done, nor could it not be done without attack. This made Wang Ben, who lacked political mind, feel embarrassed: "What should I do according to the emperor's will?"

Fusu smiled and said, "The key to this matter is not the eldest brother, but the second brother! This time, the eldest brother just rest assured to attack Linzi all the way, and I made a plan to keep it and let the second brother go to Linzi first! In this way, the eldest brother will do his best without arousing the suspicion of his father. It can be said that he will kill many things in one fell swoop!"

Wang Ben patted his head, suddenly thought about it, and said in confusion: "After I returned to Beijing, I heard from the king that you had traveled to Qi the day before yesterday. Have you already come up with a plan to destroy Qi? Then you might as well say it out, so that you can also explain your doubts for your brother!"

Fusu smiled and said, "You must not let go of the plan! If the elder brother knows it, with his honest temper, he may be exposed, but he will not be beautiful! The elder brother should just think that he doesn't know anything and attack Linzi from Yannan!"

As long as Wang Ben is a military strategy, he has always been flocking to him. Seeing that Fusu was just a silence, he felt a little itchy for a moment, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "You are here to tease me again, it's a pity that you didn't catch up with your wedding ceremony in the previous episode! We four brothers must have a good time to drink tonight!"

Meng Yi, who had not spoken, nodded and said, "Yes, brother, the second brother will set off for each other in about three days, and he should gather together!"

Fusu nodded and smiled, "Okay, yes! The three brothers will stay in Lingyan Pavilion tonight. I will not return until I am drunk!" "Okay!" The three of them laughed!

Three days later, Wang Ben and Meng Tian left Beijing and returned to Yannan and Chubei. Fusumi paid a gift bag for Meng Tian, ​​asking him to go to Chubei and then take action according to the plan!

As soon as Meng Tian arrived in northern Chu, the wind was already howling and the weather was cold. But he couldn't wait to open Fusu's treasure bag and saw a pair of white silk writing: "Brother, please order the main generals to attack the Qin soldiers from the front to attract the attention of the Qi army, and lead 20,000 elite troops to advance from water! Jimo is located in Haikou, close to Linzi. The guard Qi Zhun is a relative of this wife Qi Hong, and is also the confidant of Qi's prime minister Hou Sheng. He is timid and afraid of things and is greedy for the future. When my Qin soldiers suddenly arrive, he will surrender. Then he will persuade Hou Sheng to persuade the King of Qi to surrender. He will definitely attack Linzi from Yannan before his elder brother! There is another letter from Qi Hong in his bag that encourages Qi Zhun to surrender. I hope my brother will keep it properly!"

Meng Tian was overjoyed when he saw the plan and quickly ordered the Qin army to prepare for war while secretly building a large sea ship, which took two months to complete!

In 222 BC, the 25th year of the Qin King Zheng, early spring!

As soon as the sky cleared, Meng Tian gave an order, and the main army of the deputy general Qiang Wei led 80,000 from Chubei to Linzi in a fierce manner. He took the night to lead 20,000 elite troops from the Huaihe River to sneak into the sea, bypassing Langya Mountain and attacking Jimo!

At this time, Wang Ben had already dispatched troops to attack from Yannan to Qi for almost half a month!

However, Wang Ben led a large army down from Yannan, and was initially attacked by a large number of guerrillas composed of people from Yan and Zhao's devastated country in Yannan. He struggled for a while until he entered the border of Qi half a month later.

The army of Qi was corrupt and extremely cowardly. When the Qin army came, the officials fled first. Sometimes the highest military commander in the city was just a small commander who commanded dozens of people. So Wang Ben was almost rushing towards Linzi at the speed of trapping a city every day.

On this day, Wang Ben set up camp thirty miles north of Linzi City and sent a scattered man to start detectives in Linzi. In Wang Ben's opinion, Meng Tian's army could not have arrived in Linzi before him, after all, they could not have grown wings and flew over Qi Great Wall and Mount Tai. But who knew that soon, Meng Tian himself came back with the scattered man.

Wang Ben was shocked and said, "How did you get into Linzi so quickly? What kind of trick did the Lord give Brother Meng?"

Meng Tian laughed and said, "I had captured Linzi seven days ago!" As he said, Meng Tian told Wang Ben one by one of Fusu's strategies, and said, "In this way, I successfully attacked Jimo and immediately asked Qi Zhun to persuade Housheng to surrender, so he did not have any blood to pacify Qi State! That Qi Zhun was also named the prefect of Jiaodong County, which was really lucky!"

Wang Ben couldn't help but sigh: "Your Majesty's plan is unpredictable, and I can't wait!"
Chapter completed!
