Chapter 443: Return to the North
Meng Yi died in the king's tent and died by Yingzheng's side.
After killing Meng Yi, Li Si was stunned, he knew that Zhao Gao would attack Meng Tian and Meng Yi, because their existence was the biggest obstacle to Hu Hai's succession to the throne. But Li Si never thought that Zhao Gao would be so decisive, as soon as Yingzheng closed his eyes on this side, Zhao Gao killed Meng Yi on that side.
"Lord Zhao, you ...... Why are you ......" Li Si asked Zhao Gao, pointing to Meng Yi's corpse.
Zhao Gao put his hands in his sleeves and put them on his chest, he looked at Meng Yi's corpse with cold eyes, "Prime Minister, now His Majesty's entire guard is ours, but only Meng Yi is not, for the safety of our lives, Meng Yi can only die." ”
Li Si shook his head, he said: "Lord Zhao understands what he means, but he is not in a hurry at this time, right?" Meng Yi still has the iron guard of the Meng family army by his side, if they know that Meng Yi is dead, they will pass the news to Meng Tian, and Meng Tian will lead the army back, then Hu Hai Gongzi still can't sit on the throne, and kill Meng Yi, Meng Tian will not let you and me go." ”
Regarding these questions that Li Si said, Zhao Gao didn't care at all. "Don't worry, Prime Minister, I, Zhao Gao, always plan and then act when I do things. Since I killed Meng Yi, I naturally won't let Meng Tian know that I have already let the iron guards around Meng Yi be disposed of, and they are still dying in front of Meng Yi. What happened in the sand dunes will definitely not reach Meng Tian's ears, and if I say this, the Prime Minister should rest assured. ”
"Since Lord Zhao has said so, then I am relieved. Now that His Majesty has died and Meng Yi is dead, what should we do next?" asked Li Si.
Zhao Gao looked at Yingzheng's corpse on the bed, and he said: "Didn't His Majesty the Emperor make a will, since the country cannot be without a monarch for a day, then of course we have to return to Xianyang City and pay for the succession of Prince Huhai." ”
"Then if Fusu and Meng Tian knew about this matter, how could they give up?" Li Si asked, "After all, this matter can't be hidden for a long time, Meng Tian has Daqin's million-strong army in his hands, and he gives an order, even if Hu Hai sits on the throne, it will not be stable." ”
"I said it all, the prime minister is not worried about this matter, since I dare to do this, I am not afraid that Meng Tian and Fusu will rebel. I only need the prime minister to write two more wills, and I promise that everything will be settled. Zhao Gao was not worried that Meng Tian would rebel and persuade Li Sidao.
Li Sishi can only listen to Zhao Gao's words now, although he has the talent to govern the country and secure the country, he is still not as good as Zhao Gao's talent for these conspiracy calculations.
Zhao Gao first asked Li Si to write a will and send it to Beijun, so that Meng Tian could return to Xianyang quickly, and only said two words in the will, that is, Yingzheng was critically ill and asked him to return to Xianyang as soon as possible. After the first will to Meng Tian was written, Zhao Gao asked Li Si to write the second will the next day, but the second will was for Fusu, which was not written to Fusu to answer Xianyang City to inherit the throne, but an edict to give Fusu death. The two decrees were divided into two days, one before the other and one after the other, and sent to the northern county.
The defeated and fleeing Hu army has basically been wiped out in all parts of northern Xinjiang, except for some who escaped from Yumen Pass and disappeared into the desolate Gobi in the Western Regions, all those who did not have time to escape were surrounded and killed by the Qin army.
The reason why he was able to kill the 600,000 troops of the Hu people in such a short period of time in such a short period of time is also a proof that Daqin's military strength is still strong, especially the hundred-battle armor-piercing army under Wang Li's command, which makes the world feel the horror of the heavy armor soldiers on the battlefield, as well as the golden fire cavalry of the Mengjia army, which is also a heavy armored cavalry, they and the hundred-battle armor-piercing army are like the sharpest spear and the most solid shield, and Daqin is like a giant holding these two powerful weapons in his hands, shocking the enemy who wants to invade him。
"What do you think again, teacher?" Fu Su asked as he walked into the room and saw Meng Tian pondering.
Meng Tian saw Fusu coming in, and hurriedly got up to greet him. "Childe is here, come, sit down. ”
After Fusu sat down, he said to Meng Tian: "This war in Northern Xinjiang can end in less than a month, and the annihilation of so many Hu people in such a short period of time is a great contribution to the teacher, and Fusu admires it." ”
"Gongzi's words made Meng Tian feel ashamed, I asked His Majesty for orders to build the Great Wall, the original intention was to resist the enemy army outside the territory of Daqin, but I didn't expect that this time the Hu people would be able to cross the Great Wall, and when they arrived at the Beijun City, they even almost took the Beijun City. This time the battle is really a bit dangerous, if we arrive one day later and let the Hu people take the northern county town, I am afraid that the outcome of the battle will be a different situation, and Gongzi and I will not be able to sit down here and talk. Meng Tian said.
Fusu shook his head, and he said: "Actually, since I arrived in Beijun, until today, I found that the Hu people are not stupid, they are just a little not proficient in strategic strategies, if they know that we have a strange book like "The Art of War", I am afraid they will be much trickier. In comparison, some of their soldiers are not even below our most heroic soldiers, which is also something we need to learn and understand, after all, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is the only way to win a hundred battles. ”
After listening to Fusu's words, Meng Tian nodded with satisfaction, and he appreciated: "What Gongzi said is very true, I originally thought that Gongzi was quite proficient in poetry and poetry, but today it seems that Gongzi is also very familiar with military affairs." ”
"Let the teacher make fun of it, as a disciple of the teacher, how can Fusu know nothing about military affairs, won't it ruin the teacher's job if it spreads?" Fusu said, and the master and apprentice both laughed in the room.
After the end of the war, Xue Bin was about to return to the border of the Xiongnu in the grassland, and Meng Tian and Fusu, as well as Han Jin, Meng Li and others went out of the city to see each other.
"General, please take care, this time Xue Bin returns to the grassland, I don't know when we will see each other. Xue Bin said goodbye to these old friends, he was sent to the grassland by Meng Tian back then, and nearly thirty years have passed until today, how many thirty years can there be in life, but I am afraid that when we meet again, many people here will probably be gone.
As Xue Bin's direct superior, Du Hui patted Xue Bin's shoulder with a smile and quipped: "You were my most proud subordinate back then, and today you are the king of Han who is the Huns, I hope you can lead the Huns to continue to reconcile with Daqin, and I hope that there will be no more wars between Daqin and the Xiongnu in the future." ”
"The general can rest assured, Xue Bin can have today thanks to the general's careful training back then, the general's words Xue Bin will take it to heart, and he will definitely warn his children and grandchildren not to be enemies of Great Qin. Xue Bin bowed down to Du Hui and said.
Meng Tian rode on the horse, nodded to Xue Bin and said, "I don't have anything to say anything superfluous, I hope to have the opportunity to see you again." Xue Bin, remember that you are still my good son of Daqin!"
When Xue Bin heard this, he burst into tears, and under the gaze of tens of thousands of Hun cavalry behind him, he bowed to Meng Tian and Fusu: "General, His Royal Highness, Xue Bin has no regrets about being a Qin person, but he still wants to be a pawn under the general in the next life!"
Sending Xue Bin away, everyone rode slowly towards the Beijun City, and just after walking far, Meng Tian's eyes suddenly turned black for a while, and then he felt his head spinning, and he fell directly from the horse.
"General!"
"Father!"
Everyone was shocked, and hurriedly helped Meng Tian up and sent him back to the county guard's mansion, and found a doctor to treat Meng Tian.
"Doctor, how is my father?" When the doctor came out of the room, everyone stepped forward and surrounded the doctor in the middle.
It was the first time that the doctor was surrounded by so many generals, and he was so frightened that he almost fainted. The doctor clasped his fists at everyone and said, "My lords, generals, and villains have already checked the general's pulse, and the general's pulse is stable, not like there is any illness." Although the general has a dark illness left over from before, this fainting is not a recurrence of the old disease. The villain thinks that the general may be overworked today, and he needs to rest and recuperate for a few days to be safe and sound, please rest assured. ”
This doctor is also a military doctor of the Mengjia Army, and everyone is still convinced of his medical skills, and everyone is relieved to see him say this.
Half an hour later, Meng Tian woke up from his coma and saw that everyone was in the room, so he got up and asked, "What's wrong with me?"
Seeing Meng Tian wake up, everyone gathered around the bed again. Meng Tianci said to his father: "Father, rest assured, Dr. Han has already treated my father, my father is just overworked, and his blood is not smooth for a while, so he fainted from the horse, and he only needs to recuperate for a few days." ”
Meng Tian snorted, and then asked, "I see, it seems that my faintness has frightened you, right?"
"The teacher suddenly fell off the horse, which really startled us, but fortunately, the teacher was in good health, and we were relieved. Fusu said, and everyone around him nodded.
Meng Tian sat on the bed, he thought for a moment, and then said: "I don't know why, riding on the horse, I suddenly felt a rapid heartbeat, and then I couldn't breathe, and then my eyes went black, and then I lay here." ”
"Fortunately, it's not your old disease that has recurred, brother, you can recuperate here in peace these days, and leave anything to us. Meng Li said.
Meng Tian nodded, and he said: "There is nothing to do in Beijun right now, it's okay, you go and prepare, and when I get well, we will leave for Xianyang." Now that Your Majesty is not in good health, it is not advisable for me and my son to be away for too long, for fear that something will happen. ”
"No. ”
After everyone left the room, Meng Tian leaned on the back behind him and closed his eyes to recuperate. He has not received the flying pigeon from Xianyang City for half a month, before he left Xianyang, he agreed with Meng Yi that he would pass a book every few days to tell him about His Majesty's recent situation, and now there is no news for more than ten days, which makes Meng Tian faintly feel a little uneasy, so he decided to wait for this illness to heal, and then return to Xianyang City immediately, and at the same time he has to make a final break with Zhao Gaoli Si and others.
