Your Majesty still remembers the incident at Yanmen Pass?" Chen Xu suddenly changed to a topic that was irrelevant.

"Of course I remember why the Grand Master suddenly mentioned this?" Emperor Shin's first emperor did not turn around and looked at Chen Xu in surprise.

"At the time when the affairs of Yanmen Pass were shocked, Li Mu's two nephews Li Xiong and Li Dai broke Yanmen Pass and fought against Wucheng Marquis. If Tongwu Marquis had not arrived in time, it would have caused even greater disasters. I mentioned this because I had specially visited Yanmen Pass before returning to the capital this time and met a person who was quite knowledgeable about conquering Western countries. Perhaps it could untie His Majesty the knot in his heart!"

"Who is so knowledgeable that he can be so respected by the Taishi?" Emperor Shi's Emperor was even more surprised.

"This person's surname is Li, his name is Zuoche. He is the legitimate grandson of Li Mu, the former general of Zhao. He is nineteen years old this year!" Chen Xu answered seriously.

After a long silence, the First Emperor sighed and said: "Li Mu and Lian Po can be called the pillar of the former Zhao together. The military strategy is not inferior to that of the general, and it is even better than that of the general. It took me more than ten years to send troops to conquer Zhao. I have launched five armies in succession. If it weren't for the general's plan to disagree, I would be the first to be dragged down... Li Mu was a famous general, and it was reasonable for his juniors to be proficient in military strategy. Li Xiong and Li Dai rebelled and broke through Yanmen Pass in an instant. It was indeed beyond expectations. Li Zuoche, who was mentioned by the Grand Master, was Li Mu's grandson, and he must have obtained the true teachings of Li Mu. What is this person's extraordinary opinion about me in conquering Western countries?"

"I met Li Zuoche at that time, and I used this matter to take the exam. He said that the hard work of the expedition was a taboo in military strategists. If it was just for the revenge of the delegation, I could send a group of elite horses of thousands of people, just like the marquis of Yinshan raiding the Xiongnu court, and breaking the pass and killing the generals to warn Anxu. Moreover, the situation in the West is difficult to distinguish between the enemy and us. The Dayuezhi now occupying Daxia and also meets Anxu. This also makes Anxu feel uneasy. If Anxu raises troops to conquer the Dayuezhi, then I can take the opportunity to capture some cities and expand its power. If Anxu mobilizes troops to attack our Daqin, then the Dayuezhi will definitely be too If you don't stand by, as one goes up and down, An Liu will soon be overwhelmed. This small-scale harassment war is far more effective than a large-scale battle. During this time, our Daqin can calmly deploy the ocean, and at the same time, we will continue to increase troops to Dayuan and slowly penetrate into Western countries. The situation will inevitably change greatly in two or three years. In addition, Westerners are not good at fighting horses. Your Majesty can order the Liao King Dai King Liang to recruit horses and soldiers to participate in this war. This will not only reduce the pressure in our Daqin, but also weaken the strength of the Hunter and the Yuezhi tribes..."

"Well, what the Grand Master said is very reasonable. I do not want to fight Anxu immediately. It's just that the Qin Dynasty cannot ignore the situation in the mission. Since Li Zuoche has such knowledge, does your dearest wish to recommend him to go to the expedition to Anxu?" The First Emperor roughly guessed Chen Xu's plan.

"It is precisely because Li Zuoche stopped me at Yanmen Pass and wanted to ask me to forgive Li Xiong and Li Dai for their crimes. How dare I agree? But I cherish my talents, so I told him that I, the Qin Dynasty, has a law to repay the crimes with merits. If he is brave enough to make great contributions, it is not impossible for him to escape the crimes of Li Xiong and Li Dai. Your Majesty, my Qin Dynasty has been unified in China for ten years and has conquered Zhao for more than twenty years. There is no difference between Qin, Zhao and Han and Yan in China. The people in Zhao are fierce. The Li Mu family has an unparalleled appeal in Zhao and the Xiang family in Chu, and is deeply supported by the local people. If we take this opportunity to recover the Li family and let him serve the country, the local people will definitely obey a lot..."

Li Zuoche has been following Chen Xu to Xianyang for almost a month, but Chen Xu is busy every day and doesn't care about his family affairs. Today, he just happened to discuss Asia and Anxu. Chen Xu used this matter to persuade the First Emperor to give up the idea of ​​mobilizing the army to conquer Anxu.

Regarding Chen Xu's statement, the First Emperor hesitated for a long time and said: "In recent days, many court officials and marquis have recommended to me the Marquis of Wucheng as the commander of the army to fight against Anxi. I am also hesitating to consider that although the Marquis of Wucheng is a little naughty, he has learned martial arts and military tactics from the general and Tongwuhou since childhood. The war of destroying Donghu was dispatched in an orderly manner, and he also killed the King of Donghu and conquered the Liao Kingdom in one fell swoop..."

Emperor Qin said it very slowly. As the Emperor of Qin, he could not say these things, but when facing Chen Xu, he thought it would be better to say them. After all, although the two of them are known as kings and ministers, they are actually both teachers and friends. Moreover, under the halo of immortal disciples, Emperor Qin even felt that when facing Chen Xu, there was always an unknown pressure.

It seems that Chen Xu cannot be regarded as a minister of the Qin Dynasty, but a bystander or a guide. He is helping him manage the Qin Dynasty better regardless of reward. Just like various reforms, although he cannot understand or even understand it often, it does not prevent him from firmly supporting promotion, because all reforms have not damaged his and the royal family's interests at all. Moreover, Chen Xu has never used these reforms to gain personal gain and cultivate his own power. Everything he does is presented to the civil and military officials of the court with openness, and no one can criticize him.

"It is indeed difficult to send a large army to conquer Anxue. I agree with the strategy that the Taishi said just now. Moreover, the Taishi also planned to use Asia's work to send troops from the sea. I also think it is feasible. Li Mu's Sun Ru is only nineteen years old this year. Even though he is familiar with military books and proficient in strategies, he has never led the army after all. There are very few commanders in the court who can control the army alone. I think he can use Wucheng Marquis to command elite troops to attack the West. Li Zuoche is a general, and he will be alone for a few years to train. I wonder what the Taishi thinks?" The First Emperor still expressed his plans that he had already thought about in his explanation.

Chen Xu was slightly surprised but smiled and bowed: "Your Majesty made a decision on the military affairs matters in one sentence, and I have no objection!"

The First Emperor was stunned for a moment and then breathed a sigh of relief. After personally adding a cup of hot tea for Chen Xu, he nodded seriously and said, "The Grand Master also agrees, that's best! Since the general and the Marquis of Tongwu died, I feel that I have lost both arms. If the two generals are still there, what's the difficulty of conquering the West? Alas, it's a pity, I regret it!"

"Why should Your Majesty do this? People have good fortune and good fortune at any time, and the moon has its pace and waxing. This matter is difficult to be complete in ancient times. The death of the General and the Marquis of Wucheng is indeed regrettable, but now the Qin Dynasty has also emerged with Jingwu Hou, the Marquis of Yinshan Didao Hou, Zhang Han, Yang Xiong Ren Xiao, Zhao Tuo, many generals are all independent generals, as well as new brave men such as Jiang Buying Bu and Cao Shen. If they relax their prejudices and attract talents, there will definitely be countless people who are proficient in literature and martial arts who are willing to join the court to serve His Majesty. Although the West is far away, our Qin Dynasty has tens of millions of people. As long as we prepare to make plans and make comprehensive plans, we can attack large areas of the West in three to five years. In ten years, our Qin Dynasty will definitely unify the world!" Chen Xu quickly resolved.

"Ten years..." Emperor Qin Shi's face looked a little expectant and a little sad, "I hope that in my lifetime I can still see my Great Qin dominate the world and allow my China to achieve this unprecedented grand occasion!"

Looking at the stubborn man whose hair was gradually graying, Chen Xu felt a very painful feeling like a needle prick. Perhaps in less than a year, the emperor who unified China in front of him would die. Thinking of what Fusu said a few days ago, Chen Xu felt a sense of desolation and helplessness that reached the bottom of his heart.

Birth, old age, sickness and death, and misfortune and fortune at any time. Even if you are the emperor, no one can escape it.

Is it to fate?

Chen Xu's fingers trembled slightly, but a smile appeared on his face and gently pulled the globe and said, "Your Majesty asked me why this map was made into a ball. I said at the time that it was for the convenience of viewing. I wonder if Your Majesty still remembers it?"

"Of course I remember!" The First Emperor nodded slightly when he was restored, "Is it a deeper meaning to make the map into such a shape?"

"The world map comes from the records of the Heavenly Book. I just recorded it according to the cat and tiger. However, I may not believe it when I say it, and even I don't believe it..."

"The Grand Master's words are fine. The records in the Book of Heaven are naturally different from me. No matter what the situation is, I believe it without any worries!" The First Emperor seemed to be interested in it instantly.

"Your Majesty, according to the Book of Heaven, the world we live in is a sphere, floating in the dark universe without roots or no cause..."

"Crazy..."

"Clang"

Before Chen Xu could finish his words, Emperor Shin-Emperor stood up excitedly, and the teacup in his hand fell onto the table, and the hot tea water splashed and fell on his face.

"Your Majesty be careful~"

Several eunuchs and palace maids guarding the door exclaimed, and Chen Xu quickly stood up.

"Wait until you leave the hall to wait!" The First Emperor wiped his head and face a few times with his sleeves. After all the eunuchs and palace servants withdrew from Zichen Hall and closed the door of the hall, he looked at Chen Xu with horror. "What I said just now is too shocking. How could the world we live in be a ball? This... is completely unimaginable..."

"Your Majesty!" Chen Xu smiled bitterly and bowed, "I was as frightened and helpless as Your Majesty, but it is indeed recorded in the Book of Heaven. When I drew a world map, I first made this map meter, and then drew the prototype of the world on the cloth. Later, when I presented the map, in order to be more intuitive and clear, I brought this map meter together with Your Majesty..."

Chen Xu helped up the overturned teacup, wiped the tea on the table with his sleeves a few times and invited the First Emperor to sit down again, and then placed the globe between the two.

"I discussed with Your Majesty the sun rises east and sets west, and some ancient books such as the Mountain and Sea Classic. The sun comes out of Ganyuan and falls in the Sutra Valley. However, there has never been any record in the Book of Heaven. I have searched all the maps and never found these two places. In order to find out the correspondence between the maps contained in the Book of Heaven and the records of the Chinese heritage, I have asked the newspapers to collect a large number of different versions of the Book of Heaven and Sea Classic and ancient books for comparison and sorting, and even solicited manuscripts from folk geographers, hoping to find some clues. Now after years of research, I am becoming more and more convinced that the records of the Book of Heaven have not made any mistakes. The world we live in may be on a huge ball..."

"This... this is too incredible. Let me take a break and I feel a little dizzy..." The First Emperor rubbed his forehead and closed his eyes.
