Chapter 251: What the Emperor Thinks
Since the emperor summoned Wei Yu first, the changes and the situation that occurred due to the nine reasons for the Donghu people must have been discussed by the two. With Wei Yu's scheming and loyalty to Great Qin, it was impossible not to inform the emperor of the consequences that would arise after his brother led the army to destroy the Xiongnu.
Why, then, did the emperor issue such an edict? If the elder brother really kills Mao Dun, the reputation of the elder brother, who is already famous all over the world, will suddenly be unmatched for a while. So how should the emperor reward his brother? And what should I give to my brother?
More importantly, the emperor has so far failed to inform the world of the rebellion of the Nanyue children. The entire Great Qin is only known to a limited number of people. If at a critical time, the emperor talked about the Mengshi people who participated in the rebellion, then whether it was his brother or the entire Mengshi clan, he would definitely fall from the clouds to the dust immediately.
At that time, how many people in the DPRK and China should jump out to attack Montessori?
Emperor, is this what you are waiting for?
Meng Yi didn't know, so Meng Yi was afraid!
Hearing Hu Hai's question, Wei Yi glanced at Meng Yi, who was silent and pale, an inexplicable color flashed in his eyes, his mouth opened and closed several times, but in the end he didn't say anything, and lowered his eyelids slightly.
The emperor's approach made him unable to understand or guess, and he understood the truth that if he said too much, he would lose. So even though he thought of what the emperor was going to kill like Meng Yi, he finally chose to watch and ignore it.
In the eyes of the ministers of the court, the rebellions in the current Great Qin are no more than grasshoppers after the autumn, and they will not be able to stumble for a few days. Even if there are hundreds of thousands of troops from South Vietnam who are ready to go north at any time, it is not enough.
And the Mengshi clan, which already had a deep relationship with Fusu, was already the most unstable factor in Daqin's henchmen at this moment. The emperor understood this, Wei Yi understood, and Feng Quji, Ying Teng and others, who knew about the affairs of South Vietnam, also understood it.
For the Meng clan, as far as Wei Yu is concerned, he has never had any bad feelings towards this family of famous generals who have been loyal to Daqin for hundreds of years, not only because there are few people in the Meng's family who are strict in the family rules and who bully others and act as evil, but more because of his admiration for the personal conduct of the two brothers Meng Tian and Meng Yi.
Everyone knows that when Hu Hai was still unconscious, if there were 300,000 elite supporters of the Jiuyuan Army at that time, then Da Qin, who was strong on the outside but weak on the inside, was afraid that no one would be able to resist it, even if Wang Li was there.
However, it is clear that the situation has changed at this point. The emperor has become wise like a god, and although the strength comparison with the Meng clan cannot be said to be completely reversed, it is an indisputable fact that Meng Tian's 300,000 Nine Yuan Army can no longer affect the survival of Great Qin as before.
Yes, Meng Tian and Meng Yi are both loyal to Emperor Qin, but there are still many Meng clansmen in the Meng clan What do they think in their hearts? From the merits of the dragon's support, there are already Meng's people fighting for it, who can guarantee that there are no such people among the Meng's people in Xianyang?
After all, Meng Tian's control of the Jiuyuan Army is said to be largely due to his personal exploits and charisma. But what really made Meng Tian know the Jiuyuan Army was the many Meng clansmen who served as generals at all levels in the Jiuyuan Army.
If Meng Tian is the trunk of the towering tree of the Mengshi clan, then many of the Mengmen people who served as generals at all levels in the Great Qin army are the root system of this uncle. Without them, Meng Tian's backbone would immediately wither and fall to the ground.
No one denied Meng Tian's prestige in the hearts of the Meng clan. But don't underestimate the consequences of greed. Could it be that the Mongol people in South Vietnam don't know that they and others will put the Mongol people who are still in Xianyang in danger, and will make the head of the Mongol clan, Meng Tian, not a human being, or even be directly killed by the current emperor?
Surely they knew, and then his intentions would be obvious. It is precisely to use this to force Meng Tian to be in a dilemma, and to deviate from the current Qin Emperor Hu Hai. They were trying to force Meng Tian to fall to the child.
As long as Meng Tian also serves Ziying, there are 300,000 elites of the Jiuyuan Army hanging above the hinterland of Great Qin, plus the hundreds of thousands of troops who defected to Ziying and the people of Baiyue Barbarians, Ziying will immediately skyrocket to seventy percent if he goes north to take Hu Hai and replace him.
And this is obviously the intention of Ziying and Zhao Guang to try so hard to win over the generals of the Meng clan.
If the Meng clan people in Jiuyuan or Xianyang also acted in the same way to persecute Meng Tian, then no one knew how Meng Tian would choose.
In the emperor's study, because of Hu Hai's successive edicts, the air was almost frozen, and no one dared to answer.
It should be from the emperor's edict, Meng Tian killed Mao Dun, and when the situation was eroded to the point of being out of control, the emperor who issued the edict naturally could not be responsible. Then the only substitutes for the dead can only be a few people in this study.
However, this relationship is too important, and even if Feng Quji and the others have the heart, they don't have the courage to take on this burden. Because they are not just one person, they have a huge family behind them.
Although Hu Hai did not take all the factors into account, the worst result was that he was already prepared in his heart.
"Ahem!" Seeing that several people didn't speak, Hu Hai coughed lightly, and his eyes swept over Yingteng's body vaguely.
Ying Teng, who was frowning and pondering, saw the emperor's extremely clear eyes, and his body shook suddenly. The emperor asked him to make a statement first. This statement is naturally in favor, not against.
"The old minister obeys! Your Majesty! ”
Although I don't know what the little emperor is planning to do, but when the emperor has clearly signaled to himself to let himself stand up, Yingteng naturally knows how to choose, so he immediately took the lead in bowing to Hu Hai without hesitation.
Wei Yi, Feng Quji, Meng Yi and others were all shocked when they heard Ying Teng's words. Winteng is not a fool, it is impossible not to know what huge risks will be hidden behind these seemingly simple edicts, is it because the emperor has arranged it with him in advance?
Meng Yi's heart sank directly into the abyss.
"Good! Since you Aiqing have no objections, Win One immediately sent the edict of the Dragon Guard to all places with the letter eagle. Hu Hai didn't seem to see the surprise on everyone's faces at all, and as soon as Yingteng's words fell, Hu Hai had already directly ordered Yingyi to go to the edict.
At this time, anyone can see that this is the emperor singing a double reed with Zong Zheng Yingteng.
Could it be that the emperor really wanted to take the opportunity to eradicate the Montessori clan? Nobody knows.
"Your Ministers obey! Your Majesty! ”
Wei Yu, Feng Quji, and Li You had a sharp turn of thought, and bowed down at the same time.
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
Everyone agreed, and Hu Haiming's will was not anything to oppose, even if Meng Yi was unwilling in his heart, he could only respond to the order. At this moment, he can only pray that his brother can see the hidden disaster behind this matter, otherwise his brother will be in danger, and the entire Monte clan will also be in danger.
"All Aiqing have their own duties, and Zongzheng Mansion and Fengchang Mansion have discussed how to settle Donghu and the envoys to Jiuyuan to accept Donghu's annexation. The two of them worked together to prepare the grain and grass for the army to go south, as well as the baggage, and the wages for the conscription should also be properly arranged. Well, transfer Xiao He to the Taishi Mansion to assist Wei Lao Aiqing in preparing for this matter. Go ahead! ”
Hu Hai didn't seem to notice Meng Yi's abnormality at all, and after a few brief instructions, he gave an eviction order on his own. For Meng Tian and the Meng clan, Hu Hai naturally has his own plans, but this plan also depends on how Meng Tian and the Meng clan do to decide.
At this moment, no matter how much he says, it is useless, not to mention that as an emperor, there is no need to explain it to Meng Yi.
No matter what, the result will come out one day.
……
Meng Tian, who rushed to Jiuyuan City, reported a series of things that happened in Jiuyuan to Hu Hai who was far away in Xianyang as soon as possible. But he didn't do nothing, as Hu Hai thought.
Meng Tian knew from the time he knew that the more than 200,000 cavalry of Donghu wanted to join Daqin and ask for the protection of Daqin, this was a good opportunity given by God to Daqin and a good opportunity to destroy the Xiongnu.
It was obvious that Mao Dun retreated into the clouds in a panic, wanting to break through the Great Wall and escape back to the prairie from the direction of the clouds. Although Meng Tian could not order the pursuit and killing of Mao Dun before the emperor's edict, it did not mean that he would wait stupidly to watch Mao Dun escape.
Regarding the issue of Maudun and the Xiongnu, Meng Tian did not say that he did not think too much. He only knows one thing, that is, as long as the Donghu people belong to the emperor, they will definitely agree as long as their heads are not in the water, how the Xiongnu are that the emperor should consider, but the Xiongnu's Shan Yu can't let go.
Under the order of Meng Tian, more than 200,000 Donghu cavalry had been collected by Li Gang and Meng Wei, and all the horses collected by the more than 30,000 Jiuyuan soldiers were handed over to the Donghu cavalry.
Meng Tian was not at all worried that the Donghu people would be as opposed to the Huns as they had done with the Huns. With the Suzaku Army here, even if there was no Jiuyuan Army, Meng Tian was sure to rely on the 50,000 Suzaku Army to defeat the more than 200,000 cavalry of the Donghu people.
The Jiuyuan Army and the Donghu people did not know the true combat power of the Vermilion Bird Army, and only Meng Tian, who had been with the Vermilion Bird Army all the way day and night, knew the horror of the Suzaku Army equipped with saddles, stirrups, horseshoes, and sabers.
In the eyes of the Jiuyuan Army and the Donghu people, they couldn't see the saddle and stirrups on the back of the Suzaku Army's horses at all, because all the Suzaku Army horses were covered with a huge red cloth on their backs, although these cloths were somewhat hindered to the Suzaku Army to a certain extent, but this was not a big obstacle.
The effect of covering cloth can only temporarily prevent the Huns from discovering the saddle and other things on the back of the Suzaku army, but it cannot last long. Especially now that the Donghu people are about to fight side by side with the Suzaku Army, they can't keep the saddle and stirrup secret for a long time. However, even if the Donghu people learned the saddle and stirrups, the horseshoe installed on the horse's hooves would not be found at all for a while, and the war horses with saddles and stirrups but no horseshoe were only the same as the war horses with all three, but the combat power was worlds apart.
