General Qin

Chapter 573 Qin Palace Decision

In the majestic and towering Qin Palace.

Qin Shihuang sat kneeling in front of the wooden table, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was thinking.

"It's great that Zhao Tuo defeated the Yue Clan this time and took the Henan land for me!"

"He and the generals said that the grasslands in the north of the Great Wall are rich in water and soil, not only suitable for raising cattle and horses, but also suitable for farming. The old people of the six countries can be moved to the frontier, and the fields can be reclaimed. In this way, the land can be self-sufficient in food production and can be transported. It is far better to trade cattle and horses in the middle land than to trade with barbarians, and this is a great profit."

"I want to rule a great road, cut mountains and valleys, and lead directly to the northern border. Therefore, this road can be called the straight road!"

The first emperor felt satisfied.

I feel that the name I came up with is really simple and easy to remember, and it sounds quite classy, which is really good.

After picking Zhidao's name, he lowered his head and looked at the high-grade yellow paper in front of him.

The text on the paper is very neat, but the number of words is not many, and it is also very concise.

The invention of paper has greatly reduced the cost of writing, but most people still maintain the habit of cherishing words like gold.

You can never use two words for things that can be said clearly in one word.

The First Emperor scanned the contents of the paper again, and nodded approvingly: "Fusu is good, and he knows how to help us, Great Qin. Knowing that I want to build a straight road to the northern border, he took the initiative to ask for help. Compared with before, it is a great achievement." Grow up."

"It's good to go out, see all the elephants in the world with your own eyes, and do some practical things, so that this child can really grow up."

The first emperor thought of the many hardships he had experienced before. Although some experiences were unbearable, they were really helpful to his growth.

The first emperor picked up a pen to moisten the ink, and wrote a word "ke" on the paper.

He is more and more satisfied with this son.

If it was changed to the past, when Emperor Shi Huang launched a war like this and overhauled the palace, Fusu would definitely come forward and say something like hurting the people's strength and wanting to rest with the people.

But now he doesn't mention a word, presumably he can understand his own mind.

A son is like a father and understands his father.

This is what makes every father happy.

"However, the construction of the straight road is very important. In the future, immigration to the border, transportation of cattle and horses, and sending troops to guard the frontier will all need to pass through this road."

"Fusu has never been in politics and has little experience. It is difficult for him to take on the important role of presiding over the army. It is okay to let him be a military supervisor and observe and learn. The person in charge should be elected as a good general with experience."

The First Emperor closed his eyes, thinking about the right candidate in his mind.

In the end, it was fixed on a meritorious general who had just returned from Qidi.

At the beginning, the emperor favored several young guards, Zhao Tuo and Wang Li were attacking Henan outside the Great Wall, Li Xin was fighting Donghu in recovering Liaodong, and Li You was conquering the Southwestern Yi.

The only one who is free now is Meng Tian who has just returned to Xianyang.

Meng Tian participated in the battle of defeating Chu and eradicating the dynasty, and served as the commander-in-chief during the attack on Qi, and then took over the military affairs in Qi for a period of time instead of Tu Sui. He is already an experienced veteran and can be used.

"Zhao Gao, draw up an imperial edict for me. You Geng Mengtian will be the general, and the eldest son Fusu will be the supervisor of the army. A total of 100,000 prisoners, ministers, and Qianshou will be conscripted from various counties to build a road for me, leading directly to the northern frontier of the Great Wall."

"only."

Zhao Gao immediately respectfully complied with the promise, and hurriedly laid out papers to draw up a proposal to write for the first emperor.

It's just that when Zhao Gao wrote the word "Mongolian", his palm trembled slightly, and the hand that had always held the pen steadily shook a little.

Montessori.

That is Zhao Gao's enemy.

He often dreams.

Dreamed of him kneeling in the palace, shivering, and being sentenced to death by Meng Yi.

Desperate, suffocated.

That was the moment when Zhao Gao was closest to death in his life.

Every time Zhao Gao heard the name of a Mengshi, he felt as if ten thousand Meng Yi were crawling on his body.

"Monsieur and I will never die."

Zhao Gao whispered in his heart, his face remained the same, and the hand holding the pen became calm and strong again.

After a while, Emperor Shi Huang sealed the imperial edict and ordered it to be handed down to the Taiwei Mansion who was in charge of the matter.

After issuing the edict, Emperor Shi Huang's thoughts turned back to Zhao Tuo.

During Zhao Tuo's Northern Expedition this time, the three Yue clans were smashed, and all the land in Henan was taken, and many were captured and captured.

According to Zhao Tuo's military report, the captured Yuezhi cattle and sheep alone amounted to nearly one million head, which is large enough to supplement the needs of the military and the country, so that this war will not lose money, which is naturally a great joy.

At the same time, it also proved that Zhao Tuo's Northern Expedition strategy was much more promising than the Southern Expedition to Baiyue.

Of course, all this is due to the wise decision made by His Majesty the Great Emperor.

But it is far from the end of the war.

Taking all the land in Henan is just the first stage of Qin's foreign war.

According to the original plan, after the Qin army captured Henan, there were still two strategic goals.

One is to break into Hexi, occupy the land of the Yuezhi, and annex it as the land of Qin.

The other is to cross the north, capture the Gaoque and Beijia areas, and recover the homeland of Zhao State occupied by the Huns.

Now the next strategy presented by Zhao Tuo is to take advantage of the situation to go north and cross the river to attack the Xiongnu.

One reason is that the main force of the Qin army is now near Helan, which is closer to the Yinshan Mountain occupied by the Huns.

Another reason, which is also the most important reason, is that the noble daughter of the Yue family who surrendered offered a strategy to destroy the Huns.

The first emperor took the letter from Zhao Tuo and read it again.

Compared with Fusu's concise writing style, one word can be worth several words of narrative.

The letter Zhao Tuo sent was full of eloquence. It not only reported military intelligence and battle reports, but also described some interesting things.

Although the first emperor disliked that Zhao Tuo's writing was a bit procrastinated and delayed his reading time, he still read it with great interest.

"What a cunning woman of the Yue clan. She is a character. But since she has attached herself to Great Qin and offered a strategy to defeat the Huns, I will not be stingy. As long as this strategy succeeds and destroys the Huns, she will be rewarded heavily. .”

The First Emperor said lightly, compared to the Yuezhi in Hexi, he naturally wanted to destroy the Huns in the north.

He heard that Touman Chanyu of the Huns built a city near Yinshan Mountain, named Touman City, which showed the dominance of the Huns there.

There, it was the territory occupied by King Wuling of Zhao in the past.

The Hu people built cities on the land of Zhu Xia.

This is a great shame and humiliation to the first emperor who is known as the lord of the world!

This is like a sharp thorn, deeply pierced in the heart of the first emperor.

If he doesn't lead Manchester City for a day, he can't sleep well for a day.

He naturally supported Zhao Tuo's strategy of crossing the river to capture the Xiongnu and regain Gaoque and other places.

"For the Yuezhi people who surrendered, everything will be handled by the general himself. He wants to use the surrendered Hu people to build the rebel army and use the Hu people to control the Hu people. This matter is fine."

"Strategy is up to him to decide on his own. If there is demand, he will find the Taiwei Mansion to coordinate and meet the supply as much as possible."

The first emperor asked Zhao Gao to draw up an imperial edict again, agreeing to all the requirements Zhao Tuo had put forward in the letter, and had no intention of remotely micromanaging this war.

But at the end, he couldn't help but add a sentence.

"Let the general be careful of betrayal, if anyone betrays, he must be severely punished!"

As he spoke, Shi Huang's eyes fell on another page.

There, it is recorded that in order to protect the interests of his own business, Wu Shiluo, a good merchant of the Great Qin, betrayed the Great Qin, colluded with the Yuezhi, and leaked important military information to the Yuezhi people.

Seeing Wu Zhiluo's name, Shi Huang's breath became short of breath, and his eyes turned red.

This is the person he personally commended as a model of good businessmen in the Qin State.

He even gave Wu Zhiluo the treatment of "a higher position than the emperor".

Now, Wu Zhiluo betrayed him.

betray……

Although Zhao Tuo saw through Wu Zhiluo's behavior, and used Wu Zhiluo's tricks to send intelligence to the Yuezhi people, after Wu Zhiluo was captured, he also tried his best to cooperate with the Qin army's actions, and finally succeeded in trapping and killing the Yuezhi army. Qin Jun fought a big victory.

But betrayal is betrayal!

Shi Huang closed his eyes.

Faces appeared before his eyes.

Empress Dowager.

Cheng wee.

Fan Yuqi.

Yan Dan.

Xiong Qi.

Ushiro.

When Shi Huangdi opened his eyes again.

His eyes were full of coldness.

There will be a third update later.
