Chapter 196: Goodbye Su You
The transfer of Zhang Han to Shu County in the name of debasement was a matter decided by Hu Hai after several days of discussion with Meng Tian and Wei Yi.
The two counties of Bashu are not only the belly and back of Daqin, but also the two counties of Xiang and Guilin. Among the hundreds of thousands of troops in the land of Guanzhong today, there is hardly a single building ship, let alone a naval army.
And once it is really as Li Si expected, Zhao Tuo and Ziying hook up together, and they can go directly south to South Vietnam through the two counties of Bashu. In Hu Hai's secret letter to Zhang Han, it was this matter that was arranged.
If Zhao Tuo and Ziying didn't hook up together, it would naturally be better. However, Hu Hai has no confidence that they are not hooking up together. Naturally, it is necessary to prepare in advance.
Although Meng Kuo has been guarding the two counties of Bashu, he is young after all, and compared to Zhang Han, who has led the army and participated in countless battles, both experience and qualifications are not a little worse.
Zhang Han was only the vanguard of the southward movement. Later, there will be a large army going south to Bashu under various names. Fortunately, after Daqin basically pacified South Vietnam in Chengdu Cangzai in Shu County, Ren Huan and Zhao Tuo basically pacified South Vietnam, they did not provide grain to South Vietnam, and now they also have a lot of grain in stock. Although it is not much, the two counties of Bashu, which have been the country of abundance since ancient times, can still afford at least the grain and grass needed by the 200,000 army to fight.
Hu Hai naturally didn't know that now Ziying had become the Qin Emperor of Nanyue, and he also hooked up with Xiang Liang. But fortunately, Hu Hai has already begun to do it now.
Thirty miles outside Xianyang City, looking at Zhang Han and his party who were gradually disappearing, Hu Hai looked back at Meng Tian and said, "Meng Aiqing will leave tomorrow." β
In addition to Meng Tian and Wei Yi, the important ministers of the court were stunned at the same time when they heard Hu Hai's words. This Lang Zhong ordered Zhang Han to leave Xianyang just now, and then Taibao and General Meng Tian also left Xianyang? Zhang Han is going to Bashu, so where is Meng Tian? There are still twenty days to the post-book ceremony, so doesn't Meng Tian participate in the post-book ceremony?
"Your Majesty, why don't you leave Xianyang after that?"
Meng Tian hesitated when he heard Hu Hai's words. His departure from Xianyang was also agreed upon in these two days.
Hu Hai nodded when he heard Meng Tian's words and said, "It's okay." Then he said to Feng Quji, who was still confused: "Don't think about it, Aiqing, I didn't really demote Zhang Aiqing out of Xianyang, Zhang Aiqing has other priorities when he goes to Bashu."
It's just that the stakes are very important, and there is another incident with Sima Xin, so I didn't inform you Aiqing that Meng Aiqing will return to Jiuyuan after leaving Xianyang this time, and Meng Yi Aiqing, who commands the Jiuyuan Army, will come back and move to the post of Changshi. As for the post-book ceremony, I think that Meng Yi Aiqing had already arrived in Xianyang at that time. β
Hearing Hu Hai's explanation, Feng Quji, Li You and others knew it in their hearts. Obviously, now that everything in the court and China has basically escaped, the emperor is preparing for the imminent dispatch of troops to quell the chaos. Thinking of this, Feng Quji and the others couldn't help but feel excited.
The reason for this is that no matter whether Feng Quji and the others are old Qin people or outsiders, they have stayed in Daqin for decades and poured their life's hard work into Daqin, and they have long had the iron-blooded and martial style of the old Qin people in their bones.
Everyone knew that with the emperor's current age and the surname he showed, he thought that this would be the last time Great Qin would use troops in the next few years. After this time, I am afraid that they will all be old again, and they will no longer be able to experience the big war.
The years of Chengping have passed for too long, and it is really a torment for them, the old ministers who followed the first emperor through the eventful years of unifying the world.
Seeing the old men rubbing their fists and their cheeks flushed, Hu Hai felt a lot of emotions in his heart. Great Qin was able to dominate the world precisely because of this iron-blooded wind hidden in the bones of every Qin person.
"Since you have all guessed it, I will not hide it. Yes, the post-book ceremony will be the name of my Great Qin army going south to quell the chaos. I will drive the royal expedition in person, before the grain, grass, baggage and other things, these more than 20 years of Aiqing must cooperate sincerely and prepare properly. In this battle, I will decide a battle, and I will be peaceful for a hundred generations of Great Qin. β
Hu Hai said that in the end, his eyes were full of light, and he suddenly waved his hand fiercely and said loudly.
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
Looking at the young emperor with a resolute face and a slightly domineering face, Meng Tian and the others said in unison.
β¦β¦ The drought has been resolved, and the bustling Xianyang is full of people.
The heavy rain begged by the Second Emperor not only solved the drought in various parts of Guanzhong, but also seemed to relieve the hot and dry heat at the same time. After the heavy rain on July 24, there was a light rain in two places and a heavy rain on the fifth in various parts of Guanzhong, and the weather became cooler and cooler.
At the east gate of Xianyang City, where the flow of people was like weaving, an ordinary one-horse carriage was slowly moving under the escort of more than ten extremely strong black-clothed men.
A jade hand like an onion slowly opened the curtain covering the car window, revealing the pretty face of a woman. The jade pretty face without a little powder, the eyebrows are picturesque, the small nose, the small ears, the small cherry lips, everything is so exquisite, and then harmoniously concentrated on a beautiful face like jade. There is not the slightest sense of abruptness.
The woman's inky eyes were always a little dazed and sad. People can't help but want to be pampered and loved.
This woman is Su You, who was picked up by Long Wei from the halfway point to Jimo.
Looking at the bustling flow of people and the familiar Xianyang city wall, and listening to the noisy and cordial Qin dialect around him, Su You was at a loss.
After two years, she finally returned to Xianyang again. From the moment he saw him, Su You knew that his attempt to escape from his sight was useless.
The world is so big, even on the way to escape, you can meet him again who should be in Xianyang Palace, is it not providence or what?
Therefore, after Hu Hai left, Su You was ready to be arrested in his heart. It's just that he didn't expect that it would take nearly half a month for him to find himself.
After seeing Long Wei, who explained his intentions, Su You didn't say anything, took the two children and the old servant who fled from Xianyang with her, and got into the carriage back to Xianyang.
Now that I'm finally in Xianyang, are you going to see him again?
Su You, a trace of dazedness and a faint hatred flashed on his face. Along the way, especially after entering Hangu Pass, she heard too many rumors about Hu Hai. Will that diligent and loving person be the one who is greedy for his surname? The god-like person who knelt down and prayed for rain under the fierce saying and finally begged for rain to alleviate the drought in Guanzhong, would he be naΓ―ve and cute?
Suyu didn't know. In her impression, he has always been like a child, the surname Ren likes himself, the surname Ren likes to be coquettish in front of his sister, and the surname Ren is a little cute. Although he and his sister are not much older than him.
However, he did keep his surname like a child.
Could it be that after becoming emperor, he will change so much? Don't they all say that he is stupid and incompetent, and his surname is so beautiful every day? Isn't he the one who ordered his husband to be killed? If it was him, how could he face himself so calmly? Or has he forgotten about himself at all?
Su Yu, I don't know.
"Girl, Xianyang Palace has arrived. I'll wait until I go to report to Your Majesty, and ask the girl to stay a little longer. The leader of Longwei, who escorted Su You all the way to Xianyang, came to the carriage and whispered to Su You, who had lost his mind.
After saying that, he nodded to the few remaining dragon guards around him, and then turned to leave.
When Ying Yi whispered to Hu Haiyu to report that Su You had arrived outside the Xianyang Palace, he had just returned to the palace from the Thirty Mile Pavilion outside Xianyang City, and was discussing with Meng Tian and Wei Yu about the southward battle of the army against the map of Daqin.
Su You, an unusually familiar and unforgettable name for Hu Hai, suddenly made Hu Hai lose his mind for a moment. Immediately, a heart thumped uncontrollably, making Hu Hai's white face flush with a strange flush.
Meng Tian and Wei Yi didn't hear anything from Hu Hai, but the change in Hu Hai's expression naturally attracted their attention.
"Your Majesty. Ministers retire first? Meng Tian expected that something must be wrong with the emperor, so he said tentatively.
Hearing Meng Tian's words, Hu Hai forcibly suppressed the restlessness in the depths of his heart, and reluctantly smiled: "Okay, that's all for today, I have some things to deal with." The two Aiqing should also go back to rest earlier, and continue tomorrow. β
"Your Ministers obey!"
Meng Tian and Wei Yu glanced at each other and bowed in unison.
When Meng Tian and Wei Yu both left, Hu Hai stood up and began to circle around the study, at this moment his heart was already in a mess, completely uncontrollable mess, he could only use this method to calm himself.
"Your Majesty!?"
I had never seen the emperor win one like this, and I was surprised to see the emperor who had always been calm and abnormally scurrying around in the huge emperor's study like a headless fly, muttering something to himself, and shouting worriedly.
"Huh?" Hearing Win Yi's words, Hu Hai, who was walking faster and faster in the study, suddenly stopped and looked at Win One blankly.
At this moment, Hu Hai's face was flushed with excitement, as if he was drunk, gasping for breath, and his clear eyes were already bloodshot in a short moment, which made Ying Yi almost think that His Majesty had fallen into evil.
"Your Majesty! I'm going to call the Imperial Doctor! Win Yi shook his head and said in a panicked voice. He thought Hu Hai was sick. And the disease came with extraordinary ferocity.
"Win one." Hu Hai didn't know what was happening to him at the moment, he only knew that he was about to go insane, and the voice in his heart had been anxiously urging him to see Su You, and even a few times he had to rush out of the door.
"Whew!" Hu Hai took several deep breaths in succession, forcibly suppressed the obsession of Hu Hai who was constantly troubled in his heart, stabilized his mind and said: "Don't worry, I'm fine, you go and bring that Su You here." β
After saying this, Hu Hai suddenly found that the obsession that had been restless in his heart suddenly quieted down.
