Chapter 250: Meng Yi's Fear

Meng Tian can't let Mao Dun kill or capture him alive, which means that Mao Dun must be released back to the prairie and return to Wolf Juxu Mountain. It means that when Hu Hai rectifies the rebellion in Great Qin and goes north again, he will have to spend countless money and food, and sacrifice a lot of Great Qin soldiers who should not have died.

Wei Yu didn't speak again, he knew that this was no longer the time for him to give advice to the emperor. Meng Tian couldn't destroy the Xiongnu, and he agreed with Hu Hai's wishes.

But in the matter of Maudun, he was not sure what to do. If he didn't let it go, he didn't let Meng Tian lead the army to kill him, and the chain reaction it produced was not something that he could control as a prince and a national lieutenant who had no real power.

The most important thing is that Meng Tian's current titles and official positions, plus the position of the Taibao among the three dukes, whether it is a title, an official position or a fictitious title, it is no longer possible to rise.

If Meng Tian kills Mao Dun, if such a great achievement is not sealed, the emperor will first have to face the surging hearts and words of the Qin people who advocate military merits, which will inevitably arouse the dissatisfaction in the hearts of the 300,000 soldiers of the Jiuyuan army under Meng Tian; It will even make the Meng clan people in Xianyang separate from Great Qin because of this matter.

And if you want to continue to seal Meng Tian's great achievement, then how to seal Meng Tian? Of course, Wei Yu would not think of the proposal of sealing the king, after all, the prince and the king with a different surname only started from Liu Bang, and at this time, Daqin had just unified the world where the original princes were everywhere, and Wei Yu naturally would not and did not dare to think of this.

In Wei Yi's view, even if Meng Tian now obtains great military or political merits, he is already rewardable and unsealable, but it will bring endless disasters to himself and Daqin.

There was a sudden silence in the study.

"Your Majesty!"

A girl with a different magnetic surname suddenly sounded from outside the study, breaking the silence for a long time is the emperor's study, and it is Long Mei who is waiting outside the study who speaks.

"What?" Hu Hai looked at Wei Yi with low eyebrows and asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, Prime Minister Feng Cheng, Prime Minister Li Cheng, Ying Zongzheng and Meng Changshi are here."

"Xuan!"

"Whoa!"

After a while, a sound of footsteps sounded, and Feng Quji, Li You, Ying Teng, and Meng Yi appeared at the door of the study.

"Your Majesty!"

"The four Aiqing don't have to be polite! Have a seat! Hu Hai waved his hand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The four of them didn't seem to be surprised at all when they saw Wei Mi and others coming, and after bowing down to thank Hu Hai, they bowed slightly to Wei Mi, and then sat down one after another.

"Your Majesty's emperor is mighty, so that hundreds of thousands of Donghu barbarians are attached, and the period when the four barbarians are all obeyed is just around the corner, long live Your Majesty!" Before Feng Quji's ass touched the stool, he immediately got up and bowed deeply to Hu Hai, giving him an extremely loud fart.

Li You, Ying Teng, and Meng Yi heard Feng Quji's loud sycophant to the emperor, and they immediately had a black line. Even Wei Yu, who was in the presence of the old god, was twitched by Feng Quji's gray eyebrows.

Old Horseman Feng turned out to be very good at saying beautiful things.

"Long live Your Majesty!"

Feng Quji had already rushed to the front, winning the emperor's first good impression, plus the hundreds of thousands of people of the Donghu clan to join Great Qin was indeed a major event that had not happened in the hundreds of years since Great Qin established itself, a great joy. So no matter what Wei Yi, Li You, Ying Teng, and Meng Yi think, at this time, they naturally have to get up and send Hu Hai together.

Hu Hai was a little stunned by Feng Quji's sudden outcome. At this time, he realized that in fact, everyone has the potential to make sycophants, but it has not been exposed. Prime Minister Feng, who has always been known for his old-fashionedness, is a striking example.

"Okay, don't compliment me, Aiqing. Take a seat. Hu Hai said with a smile. Thousands of wears, but sycophants don't wear. Although he knew that Feng Quji was deliberately currying favor with himself, Feng Quji's words still made Hu Hai's originally anxious mood a lot better.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Everyone answered in unison. The originally dull atmosphere in the study suddenly became lively.

After all five of them sat down one by one, Hu Hai spoke: "Since the Donghu people are effectively loyal to my Great Qin's heart, how can my Great Qin refuse to leave?" Ladies and gentlemen, listen to the order. Saying that, Hu Hai stood up and said in a deep voice.

This is an edict? Isn't it yet that there is no discussion?

Although they were puzzled in their hearts, Feng Qujian and the others immediately thought that maybe the emperor had already discussed with Wei Yu, and when they heard the voice, they all got up, their faces were straight, and they responded solemnly: "The ministers will receive the order!" ”

Feng Quji's sycophant didn't make Hu Hai really fluttering, but after laughing, it made him firm up on a certain idea in his heart that he had been hesitating. At this moment, Meng Tian, the Jiuyuan Army, Wang Gan's Suzaku Army, and the more than 200,000 Donghu cavalry who fought with the Jiuyuan Army were obviously waiting for their edicts.

From Jiuyuan to Xianyang, although the speed of Xinying was very fast, it would take at least two hours, plus the time that had just been discussed with Wei Yu and waiting for Feng Quji's arrival to arrive, and now nearly three hours had passed. If you add the time from the edict to Jiuyuan, it will take at least two or even three hours.

Hu Hai believed that Meng Tian would definitely deal with the more than 200,000 cavalry of Donghu, but for the more than 100,000 Hun cavalry of Mao Dun who retreated to the clouds, Hu Hai really couldn't guess whether Meng Tian had already responded.

Therefore, if the time has not passed for a minute, it means that Mao Dun will be far away from Jiuyuan by a few points, and it also means that Mao Dun's chance of escaping from Daqin will be a few points greater.

"Spread the edict to Meng Tian, the Marquis of Jiuyuan, my Great Qin accepted the attachment of the Donghu people, and ordered Meng Tian to properly settle the people who served in the Donghu; Ordered Donghu Mohuer to lead 100,000 Donghu cavalry under the command of Suzaku General Wang Gan, and ordered Suzaku General Wang Gan to lead the Suzaku Army and Mohuer 100,000 Donghu cavalry to go north from Jiuyuan City to the Xiongnu barbarian holy land Wolf Juxu Mountain, and be sure to save the Donghu people who returned to our Great Qin. The Xiongnu barbarian tribes encountered along the way were all killed and burned, and cattle and sheep were used as military food supplies.

Jiuyuan Hou Meng Tian galloped to the aid of Jiuyuan, and after a long journey for fear of physical discomfort, Jiuyuan Hou led the remaining more than 100,000 Donghu cavalry and Jiuyuan Army, chasing the Xiongnu barbarian cavalry that retreated to the direction of Yunzhong County. But the Huns alone could not stay in Maodun, and ordered Jiu Yuanhou to kill that Maodun at all costs, or capture him alive!

The edict was responsible for escorting the general of the Black Ice Platform who was transporting grain and grass to the direction of Jiuyuan, and ordered him to rush to Jiuyuan City within three days, and if there was a delay, kill! Speaking of this, Hu Hai paused and said: "Don't beat and scold the laborers, violators, kill!" ”

After saying these two killings, Hu Hai stopped and swept his gaze over Feng Quji, Li You and a few people one by one, and finally took a deep look at Wei Yu and asked, "Do you have any objections to these edicts?" ”

Hearing Hu Hai's words, Wei Yi, who was surprised and inexplicable in his heart, raised his eyes to see the emperor's eyes sweeping over him.

Wei Yi didn't know why Hu Hai changed his mind on the spur of the moment. Since the emperor knew that Meng Tian could not lead the army to destroy the Xiongnu, why did he choose to order Meng Tian to kill the Xiongnu at all costs? Doesn't he know that in this way, even if Meng Tian does not really lead the army to destroy the Xiongnu, there is no difference between leading the army to destroy the Xiongnu?

The only difference between the two methods is that one is placed on the surface and the other is placed in the dark. The emperor is not afraid, after there is nothing to reward and nothing to give to Meng Tian, will the Meng clan become a big tail?

This point, not only Hu Hai and Wei Yi thought of it, but also Feng Quji, Li You, Ying Teng, and Meng Yi, who of the four of them was not a person who had been up and down for many years and was scheming, and the four of them had already thought of this layer when they heard Ying Yi talk about the current situation in Jiuyuan on the way here.

However, unlike Yu Yu, Feng Quji and others, Meng Yi was full of fear in his heart. He knew very well what kind of results the Donghu people would have on the Xiongnu and Maotun after the subsequent chain reaction of the Donghu people's anti-water surrender to Daqin.

On the way back to Xianyang, Meng Yi once met Meng Tian on the galloping road. Although neither Meng Tian nor Meng Yi had ever had the slightest disobedience, but when the two of them were accompanied by the dragon guards sent by the emperor to escort them to "protect", the two of them just hurried for a while, and then went their separate ways, one went north and the other went south.

But after a while, Meng Tian told Meng Yi a news that shocked him and almost fainted. The son-in-law of the prince of Fusu fled to South Vietnam to establish himself as the emperor, of course, this was not enough to make Meng Yi faint in shock. What really shocked Meng Yi was that many of the Meng clansmen who served as generals at all levels in the 500,000 army that followed Ren Huan and Zhao Tuo south to pacify South Vietnam chose to serve their children.

Previously, just because of a trumped-up pretext, the emperor detained the two brothers for several months, almost trying to kill them. Now that the Meng clan people have rebelled against Daqin and want to overthrow His Majesty the current emperor, isn't it just a good excuse for those people in the court who have long looked down on the Meng clan unpleasantly?

Although the emperor trusted his two brothers as always, and even after learning the news of South Vietnam, he still sent his brother Meng Tian to Jiuyuan to lead the old headquarters of the Jiuyuan Army to guard Jiuyuan, but it also made Meng Yi more and more cautious.

People are often like this, the more unknown, the more fearful!

No one knows what is going on in the mind of the young Emperor II, who has suddenly become wise!

The annexation of the Donghu people to Great Qin this time can be said to have given Great Qin a good opportunity to eradicate the Xiongnu barbarians who had plagued the northern frontier of Great Qin for hundreds of years in one fell swoop. And Meng Tian, who happened to be in Jiuyuan, was obviously the best candidate to lead the army to destroy the Xiongnu.

Meng Yi knew very well that his brother, who was now ranked in the position of the third duke, in terms of titles and official positions, under the current official system of Great Qin, it could almost be said that there was no longer a knight to be awarded, nor could he be promoted.

Then the destruction of the Xiongnu, this God-given opportunity for Daqin, has become a clarion call for life, urging the lives of thousands of people up and down the entire Meng clan. If one is not done well, the entire Montessori clan will be wiped out.

Meng Yi believes that if he can see this, others will definitely be able to see it. The emperor couldn't see it, Meng Yi didn't know it, but the scheming Wei Yi must have seen it more deeply and thoroughly than he Meng Tian.
