Chapter 17 The First Emperor's Eastern Tour
Winter has passed, and the breath of spring has inadvertently appeared in Shangjun City. Fusu, Li Heng, Meng Tian and others are patrolling one military camp after another. This is what Fusu has to do every three days after returning.
, no one knows his intentions, but in fact he just wants to expand his influence among these armies. He needs no one to question his orders when he raises his own troops.
"Prince Fusu!" Every soldier who saw them coming over saluted him energetically. Fusu had raised everyone's military pay by 30% these days, so everyone was beaming with joy.
Just as Fusu was inspecting all this with satisfaction, a man came over with a bamboo pipe: "Prince, the spies from Xianyang City have sent new news."
Fusu reached for the bamboo tube, pulled out his sword and cut it into two pieces, and then took out a silk book inside. There were a few lines written on it: The emperor has gone on a tour, fortunately, Hu Hai is accompanying him.
, Li Si, Zhao Gao, etc., as well as the general Zhang Han led the army to protect him. Now we have sent people to follow, don't think about it. Wu Lin pays homage.
When Fusu saw these words, he suddenly raised his head to look at the day. He knew that things were about to change. Then he handed the silk book to Li Heng. At this time, Li Heng was already an important person under his command.
As a counselor, he lived up to Fusu's trust in him and helped Fusu expand his prestige among the frontier troops.
"Why is the prince so excited after hearing the news?" Li Heng handed the silk book he had read to Meng Tian and looked at Fusu with a puzzled expression.
"The weather is going to change," Fusu said thoughtfully, looking at the sun covered by clouds. "General Meng doesn't know how the construction of the Great Wall is going. I haven't gone there to see it for a long time."
Hearing Fusu said that the weather was going to change, Meng Tian showed a surprised look on his face, and then replied: "Now the Great Wall is nearly completed, and it will be completed in another two or three months."
"If half of the 100,000 hard laborers are allocated, it means it can be completed in the summer?" Fusu turned to look at Meng Tian and asked.
"Why does the prince want to mobilize so many people?" Meng Tian's eyes showed alertness.
"I'm just asking casually. As long as the Great Wall can be built in the summer, the Huns from the north will not suddenly appear in front of us in autumn and winter." Fusu said lightly. Then he suddenly asked: "What about the Huns?"
Our spies are already in place, right?"
"Yes," Meng Tian said, "Not only do we have spies, but we have also prepared the things that Fei Ge will pass on."
"Very good, tell them to send news about the Xiongnu at any time. If the Xiongnu wants to use troops against me, we can be prepared." Fusu arrived happily. It turned out that after tasting the sweetness of communicating with Xianyang Feige, Fusu
Su also sent some people to the Huns to get information at any time.
Then a few people just made a cursory inspection of the military camp and then returned to Fusu's hotel.
"Xiao Tao, it seems I'm about to have a real battle." Fusu said, sitting on the chair made by himself with his eyes closed under Xiao Tao's massage.
"Ah?" Xiao Tao couldn't help but use a little more force on her hand, "Is the prince going to fight the Huns?"
"No, this time we are dealing with people who are a hundred times more cunning than the Huns. If you succeed, you will be king, if you fail, you will die without a burial place." Fusu said softly.
"It's so dangerous, Prince, it's better not to go, just let General Meng go." Xiao Tao said worriedly.
"Not this time. This is my own battle, and I have to face it. If I don't take action, it will just change from a place of death without a burial to a place of burial. And I have been preparing for more than two years. I won't
You will lose." Although Fusu's voice was soft, his tone was tough.
Xiao Tao nodded obediently: "No matter what, Xiao Tao will be by the prince's side."
"Xiao Tao..." Fusu suddenly turned around and hugged her. She was immediately at a loss and her face was even more beautiful than the peach blossoms outside.
"Prince, you, what are you?"
Fusu calmed down again after his emotions were released. He let go of his hand and said, "Just wait for me. I will definitely treat you well after I succeed."
"Xiao Tao doesn't ask for anything. As long as the prince can be happy, Xiao Tao will be satisfied."
After hearing this, Fusu hugged her in his arms again.
With the carriages and horses flying, and the flags flying to the sky, Qin Shihuang, the only monarch in the world, once again patrolled the east. Leading the way were five thousand athletes of the Qin Dynasty dressed in brocade. They all held eight-foot-long daggers and spears in their hands.
Behind them are three thousand knights, each with a long sword on his waist and a bronze crossbow on his back. They are like dragons, horses and tigers. Behind them are a thousand chariots, each with a large sword inserted into it.
The flag, blown by the spring breeze, fluttered in the wind, revealing the big Chinese character Qin embroidered on it. Then there were several huge carriages that looked exactly the same from the outside. One of them was the seat of Qin Shihuang's victory in the government.
The driver was driving, but in the other cars were Hu Hai and the ministers of the DPRK. The reason for this arrangement was to imitate the old incident of Bolangsha. In that year, it was because the assassin's hammer accidentally hit the passenger car that the emperor was not injured.
Therefore, five identical carriages were prepared this time. Even if someone wanted to do something evil, they would not know where the emperor was. Secondly, it also reflected the emperor's concern for his subordinates. It could not be that the emperor was on a tour and his officials were overworked.
Around each carriage were hundreds of Qin army elites to guard against unexpected events. Behind them were some preparations for the emperor's daily life, including clothing, living utensils, etc., all of which were guarded by dedicated personnel. Finally, there were several
Thousands of troops. The emperor's eastward tour was not only to cover the whole country, but also to show the strength of Qin's troops to the old people of the Six Kingdoms. Since they are ready to make a move, let's use the heroes from Qin's hundreds of battles to fight against them.
They gave them a warning, telling them not to do anything wrong.
Zhang Han was extremely proud as he looked around on his horse. He never imagined that he would suddenly be chosen by the emperor to accompany him on his eastern tour. This seemed to indicate one thing. He had gained the trust of the court, and it might not take long for him to become the successor to Meng Tian.
The Qin Dynasty has another great general. Thinking of this, his already straight reserve straightened up even more. But he did not dare to slack off at all, because as long as an assassin appeared in front of the emperor, it would mean that he was not doing things well, and all the consequences would be
Everything will leave him, and even his body and his family will be destroyed.
The large group of people marched eastward. After passing Hangu Pass, Zhang Han did not dare to relax at all. Because he knew that to the west of Hangu Pass was the old land of Qin, and the people there truly supported Qin Shihuang, but
Once we entered the territory of the Six Kingdoms of Shandong, it was hard to say. Although the people here knelt on the ground to welcome the emperor's car when they saw it coming, just like the people in Qin, there was no trace of dissatisfaction, but they couldn't say for sure.
There are desperate people who want to assassinate the king and kill him, hiding among them.
"Zhao Gao, go and ask where we have reached." Ying Zheng looked at the six hundred miles in his hand to rush to deliver the memorial yesterday without raising his head. Although he is outside these days, Qin Shihuang's daily handling of state affairs
The habit has not changed.
Zhao Gao hurriedly leaned to the window and asked the soldiers outside, and then whispered to the emperor: "If I get back to the emperor, I have already arrived at Pei County." His voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of disturbing the emperor's review of the memorial.
Qin Shihuang murmured quietly without saying anything else. Zhao Gao looked at Ying Zheng, who was still immersed in state affairs, but there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes that was not easy to detect, but it was immediately replaced by a respectful expression, and he gave a gentle
The emperor poured wine into his cup and stood behind him with his hands tied.
Hu Hai, who was in the other car, yawned boredly. He didn't expect that this eastward tour would be so boring. Along the way, he was not even allowed to go out, and his Aiji and concubines
He was not allowed to bring him. "I never thought that my majestic Prince Qin would be huddled in this car like a turtle and not allowed to go out. This is not an eastward patrol. It is clearly a disguised form of imprisonment." He complained,
Hu Hai poured another large glass of wine into his mouth.
But the people outside did not think so. They thought that the person in the carriage must be the most famous and powerful person in the dynasty. Many young people showed envy in their eyes. Of course, they were just
Just pure envy.
A young man named Chen Gou heard someone next to him saying: "A man should be like this. If I can be like the man in this car one day, I will be satisfied." He raised his eyes and looked at Liu Ji, who he knew.
He couldn't help but laugh at him in a low voice: "Liu Ji, you are almost fifty, and you are still imitating us young people? If you want to be like the people in this car, why don't you wait to be reincarnated and go to their family in the next life."
Liu Ji, a man in his forties with an unremarkable figure and appearance, glanced at him and said, "How can you understand the wishes in my heart?"
"What wishes do you have? You already have a lovely wife at home and are also the head of the pavilion in Surabaya. Such a life is not bad. Compared with people like us, it is already quite good." The person next to him is familiar with Liu Ji.
People also said.
After hearing what he said, Liu Ji just smiled and didn't make any more excuses.
On the other side of the kneeling crowd, a young man who was no more than 20 years old looked at the driver with a look of disdain, arrogance and hatred in his eyes: "Who is he? I will definitely replace him by then.
.”
Hearing his words, a middle-aged man in his forties quickly covered his mouth and said, "Keep your voice down, Yu'er, do you want all of my Xiang clan to be wiped out?"
Xiang Yu pushed the man's hand away and said, "Will they hear you from so far away? Uncle, you are too careful."
"Yu'er, you are still too helpless, how can you achieve great things?" The middle-aged man sighed.
As the car drove forward, two figures who were inextricably related to Da Qin in the future appeared, but they did not have the energy to do anything detrimental to Da Qin yet, so they could only envy or disdain them, but
The future is not certain. At the same time, because of Fusu's transformation, the future of Da Qin is also full of unknown variables, which directly affects these two figures who will shine on the future historical stage...
