The Southern Expedition was abandoned, and the Northern Expedition was put on the work agenda of the Qin Empire.

Qin Shi Huang is the kind of person who says he will do it right away.

Since he has set the national policy of attacking the Xiongnu in the north and subduing the homeland of Zhuxia, he will choose the commander on the spot.

At this point, there is no suspense.

Whether it is a civil servant or a military general, they all unanimously elected Shaofu Zhao Tuo.

Zhao Tuo was a famous general of the Qin State, who had defeated the Xiongnu army in Daidi and had experience in fighting against Hu.

The Qin army wants to attack the Xiongnu in the north, who else is it?

Not to mention that Zhao Shaofu just spent a lot of effort to persuade the emperor to give up the southern expedition and choose the northern expedition, making it clear that he was determined to win the position of commander.

This is Zhao Tuo's battle of the marquis, who dares to fight with him?

"I just wanted to stop the Southern Expedition, but I didn't expect that I would become the commander of the Northern Expedition. It seems that Meng Tian of this time and space is likely to be unable to get the title of China's No. 1 Warrior. ”

Zhao Tuo secretly smiled bitterly.

Under the expectations of the public, as an advocate of the Hu people in the north, he naturally could not refuse, and was appointed as the commander of the Northern Expedition on the spot.

The First Emperor gave Zhao Tuo time to hand over a strategy for the Northern Expedition later.

Zhao Tuo promised on the spot.

After the court meeting dispersed, all the ministers greeted Zhao Tuo, all with smiles in the corners of their eyes.

"Shaofu's Northern Expedition strategy is much better than going to the forests in the south to fight the Yue people, and when the time comes, my young junior of the Xin clan will be entrusted to Shaofu."

Xin Wu, a veteran with a good relationship, said with a smile.

Counting on Zhao Tuo to attack the Hu people, he would give his young generals of the Xin clan some opportunities to make meritorious contributions.

Before leaving the palace, Wang Ben also bowed his head to Zhao Tuo: "What Shaofu said is very good, the Hu people in the north are the henchmen of my Great Qin, and only when the North Hu is broken, can we go south to conquer Vietnam." ”

Some people agree with Zhao Tuo's opinion, and naturally some people feel unhappy.

For example, Tu Sui, who is very likely to become the commander of the 500,000 Qin army.

This Zhao Tuo's eldest brother, after the dispersal of the dynasty, walked out with a black face.

Zhao Tuo wanted to catch up and explain, but Tu Sui took a big step and walked with the wind.

When he left the palace gate, he got in the car and went back to his house directly, not even giving Zhao Tuo a chance to explain.

"Brother Tu, Brother Tu, I saved your life."

Zhao Tuo sighed secretly, Tu Sui led an army of 500,000 to the south, and he should have died in Yuedi, but now he was mixed up by him Zhao Tuo, although he couldn't make a merit, but his life was saved.

It's just that the previous incident in the court made Tu Sui misunderstand that Zhao Tuo was fighting for the merit of the marquis, so he deliberately didn't show mercy and proposed the Northern Expedition, which ruined his dream of being the commander of Tu Sui's 500,000 army.

Anyone has to be angry about this.

"Brother Tu is a heroic person, when the weather is over in two days, I will visit again and explain it well."

Zhao Tuo felt that there was no big problem, Tu Sui was not the kind of person who was cautious.

Relying on his own quick wit to reverse the matter of the 500,000-strong army marching south to Baiyue, Zhao Tuo was actually a little proud in his heart.

It's just that this pride, when he returned to the house, suddenly disappeared and became a trouble.

Zhao Tuo never imagined that the biggest opposition to his northern expedition against the Xiongnu was not the First Emperor, nor was it other ministers.

It's the pretty lady in his family.

"Zhao Tuo!"

"I'm pregnant with your child, and you're going to leave us to go to war!"

"You are so ruthless!"

"Woo......"

This night.

The maids and servants in the eldest princess's mansion were all trembling.

Their hostess was furious.

……

On the second day, Zhao Tuo, who hadn't slept all night, went to Shaofu with dark circles under his eyes.

There are no new major projects recently, and the few young mansions under him are enough to cope with daily government affairs.

So Zhao Tuo just walked around the official office, and after explaining the work, he went home in the respectful voice of many subordinates.

He also has a guest visiting today.

Gongzi Fusu was sent yesterday afternoon after hearing about what happened at the court meeting.

Zhao Tuo's eldest brother is handsome, polite in speech and action, and looks like a beautiful son.

It's just that between his eyebrows, there seems to be a little worry.

The first sentence after Fusu entered the mansion and sat down made Zhao Tuo's eyelids jump.

"Fusu once heard that the art of war is cloudy, although the country is big, the belligerent will die."

Zhao Tuo looked at the emperor's eldest son in front of him quoting the words in "Sima Law", and guessed the other party's intention.

Sure enough, Fusu then talked eloquently: "Zhao Jun taught Fusu before that he should recognize his identity and position, and he should also consider the interests of Daqin when he speaks and acts. Fusu felt deeply, and day and night he took the identity of the prince of Qin as his responsibility, and considered the interests of the country wholeheartedly. ”

"However, according to what Fusu saw, it has been less than a year since my Great Qin unified the world, and the distant Qianshou has not been gathered, and the remnants of the princes have not yet returned to their hearts. Although Zhao Jun suggested that his father expand the enrollment of children in the school and train more Qin officials, the time was still short, and the newly conquered Qi Chu and other places still lacked officials, and they were not completely controlled, so it was inevitable that there would be hidden dangers. ”

"Zhao Jun's suggestion to relocate the nobles of the Six Kingdoms to Guanzhong in order to eliminate the scourge of the restoration of the Six Kingdoms, Fusu thinks it is very good, and it can help our Qin State control the land of the princes. However, this kind of migration is a big thing, and hundreds of thousands of people often travel thousands of miles, and it takes a lot of money along the way. ”

"In addition, the counties and counties in the world mobilized prisoners and servants to build gallop roads, and there were imperial tombs and palaces of the Six Kingdoms in the land of Guanzhong, which inevitably consumed too much people's strength and made the head of the Qiantou tired."

Speaking of this, Fu Su took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Under such circumstances, is it a little too anxious for my Qin State to raise a large army to expedition against the Hu people in the north?" ”

And so it was.

Zhao Tuo said: "The northern Hu people often fight with Zhuxia, and they have hated each other for thousands of years, can the prince know?" ”

Fusu nodded and said: "Fusu knows that the northern Xiongnu and other Huns are the hearts of tigers and wolves, and they always have the intention of invading my Central Plains. ”

"It's just that I think the matter of attacking the Hu people in the north is a little more urgent, and I should wait for my Great Qin to pacify the remnants of the Six Kingdoms and send officials to control all places. It is better to start this war only after a few years of recuperation, when the national strength is restored, when the warehouse is rich, and after the soldiers think about war. ”

Zhao Tuo knew Fusu's intention.

Fusu felt that this war was launched too quickly.

He smiled bitterly and said: "Gongzi thinks that it is the Hu people of the Northern Expedition and it is good to recover the homeland of Zhuxia that he occupies. Or is it better to let people take 500,000 Qin troops south to attack Baiyue hiding in the miasma mountains and forests? ”

"You can only choose one or the other."

Fusu's face changed slightly.

He didn't go to the court, and he wasn't particularly clear about what happened at that court, but now when he heard Zhao Tuo say this, he understood a little.

He said bitterly: "Father, must you fight?" ”

Zhao Tuo sighed: "Not only the emperor wants to fight, but the generals of the entire Qin State want to fight." In the past, the military merit system founded by Shang Jun has become a hungry beast that needs to eat constantly, and it will constantly drive the Qin State to wage war, and it is difficult to stop. ”

As he spoke, Zhao Tuo took this matter apart and gave it a detailed analysis to Fusu.

Fusu was silent.

After a while, he got up and bowed to Zhao Tuo.

"I misunderstood Zhao Jun. Compared with using an army of 500,000 to conquer the land of Baiyue in the south, Zhao Jun's northern expedition to the Hu people is indeed the best choice. ”

"Childe doesn't have to be like this."

Zhao Tuo turned sideways to avoid it, and asked again: "Has the son ever advised Jinshang?" ”

Fusu shook his head and said, "No." I'm afraid of angering my father, so I want to ask Zhao Jun first, but now I find that it's too simple for me to think, and I want to thank Zhao Jun for mentioning it this time. ”

A flash of relief flashed in Zhao Tuo's eyes.

His eldest brother is really different.

If it is replaced by Fusu in history, when this kind of thing happens, he will definitely write a book to advise, and then he will stand up with the first emperor.

Now Fusu, before knowing the advice, he first came to consult with himself.

This change is enough to prove that Zhao Tuo's previous influence on him was successful. It also proves that today's Fusu regards Zhao Tuo as a family and came to him in advance.

The two chatted for a while, and after Fusu visited his sister-in-law, he said goodbye and left.

Before he left, Zhao Tuo was still a little uneasy, and instructed: "The emperor has decided on this matter and will not change it, so don't advise the prince at this time." ”

"Hmm."

Fusu answered and left with a sad face.

Zhao Tuo stood at the door, watching Gongzi Fusu's carriage drift away, thoughtfully.

In the following time, while appeasing his angry wife, Zhao Tuo consulted information, flipped through the map of the north, and thought about the strategy of the Northern Expedition this time.

It's just that the plan he had originally thought of attacking the Xiongnu in the north was disrupted by the information about Henan from the Taiwei's mansion.

"The Huns in Henan were driven away by the Yue Clan?"

"Today's Henan land is the territory of the Yue Clan?"

Zhao Tuo looked at the information in his hand, a little dazed.

Isn't it to attack the Huns in the north?

Why did you change it to Yue's script?

Thank you for your reward, and for your votes, thank you!
