Chapter 572: Qin Palace's decision

In the towering Qin Palace.

Qin Shi Huang knelt in front of the wooden case, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was thinking.

"Zhao Tuo broke the Yue clan this time and seized Henan for me, which is very good!"

He and the generals all said that several grasslands in northern Saibei are rich in water and soil, which can not only raise cattle and horses, but also be suitable for cultivating farmland. In this way, its land can be self-sufficient in grain production, and it can transport cattle and horses to Middle-earth, which is far better than trading with the Hu people, which is a great benefit. ”

"I want to govern a great avenue, a mountain and a valley, leading directly to the northern frontier. Therefore, the road can be called the straight road! ”

The First Emperor was satisfied.

I think the name I came up with is really simple and easy to remember, and it sounds quite classy, which is really good.

After picking the name of the straight road, he lowered his head and looked at the high-grade yellow paper in front of him.

The text on the paper is neat, but the number of words is not much, and it is also concise.

The invention of paper greatly reduced the cost of writing, but most people still maintain the habit of cherishing words like gold.

What can be said clearly in one word, never in two words.

The First Emperor scanned the contents of the paper again and nodded approvingly: "Fusu is good, and he also knows how to contribute to my Great Qin." Knowing that I wanted to build a straight road to the northern frontier, I took the initiative to ask for my life, which is a great improvement compared to before. ”

"It's good to go out, see the world with your own eyes, and do some practical things, so that the child can really grow up."

The First Emperor thought of the many hardships he had experienced before, some of which were difficult to look back on, but they were indeed very helpful to his growth.

The first emperor took the pen and moistened the ink, and approved the word "may" on the paper.

He was getting more and more satisfied with this son.

If it were the same as before, when the First Emperor started a war like this and overhauled the palace, Fusu would definitely come up and say something that would damage the people's strength and rest with the people.

Now he doesn't say a word, thinking that he can understand his own mind.

The son is like a father and understands his father.

This is what every father is happy about.

"However, the construction of the straight road is very important, and in the future, immigrants will need to pass through the real border, transport cattle and horses, and send troops to guard the frontier."

"Fusu has no political affairs, and his experience is still shallow, so it is difficult to take on the responsibility of presiding, let him be a supervisor of the army, and it is okay to observe and learn. The person in charge is elected as an experienced general. ”

The First Emperor closed his eyes, thinking about the right person.

In the end, it was fixed on a meritorious general who had just returned from Qidi to return to his life.

When the initial emperor favored a few young Lang Wei, Zhao Tuo and Wang Li were attacking Henan outside the Saiwai, Li Xin was fighting with Donghu in the recovery of Liaodong, and Li You was conquering the southwest Yi.

Now the only thing left is Meng Tian, who has just returned to Xianyang.

Meng Tian participated in the battle of the Chu Dynasty, and served as the commander of the division all the way when he attacked Qi, and then presided over military affairs in Qi for a period of time instead of Tu Sui, and he was already an experienced veteran and could be used.

"Zhao Gao, for me to draw up an edict, with the right more Meng Tian as the general, the eldest son Fusu as the prison army, and a total of 100,000 prisoners, subordinate ministers, and Qianshou servants from various counties, build a road for me, and go straight to the northern frontier."

"Yui."

Zhao Gao immediately agreed, and hurriedly laid out the paper to make a move, and ghostwrote for the first emperor.

It's just that when Zhao Gao wrote the word "Meng" under his pen, his palm trembled slightly, and his hand, which had always held the pen steadily, shook a little.

Montessori.

That was his Zhao Gao's enemy.

He dreams a lot.

I dreamed of the scene where he used to kneel in the temple, trembling, and was sentenced to death by Meng Yi.

Despair, suffocation.

That was the closest moment to death in Zhao Gao's life.

Every time Zhao Gao heard the name of the Montessori people, he felt like there were ten thousand Meng Yi crawling on his body.

"Montessori and I, never die."

Zhao Gao whispered in his heart, his face was still the same, and the hand holding the pen became calm and powerful again.

A moment later, the First Emperor stamped the edict and ordered it to be passed down to the Taiwei Mansion in charge of the matter.

After the edict was issued, the First Emperor's thoughts turned back to Zhao Tuo.

This time, Zhao Tuo's Northern Expedition broke the three Yueshi clans, all of them took Henan, and captured and captured many people.

According to Zhao Tuo's military report, there were nearly one million Yue's cattle and sheep captured alone, which was huge enough to supplement the needs of the military state, so that this war would not lose money, which was naturally a great joy.

At the same time, it also proves that Zhao Tuo's Northern Expedition strategy is much more promising than the Southern Expedition to Baiyue.

Of course, all of this is due to the wise choice made by His Majesty the Great Emperor.

But the end of the war is far from over.

The complete capture of Henan is just the first stage of Qin's foreign war.

According to the original plan, after the Qin army seized Henan, there were two more strategic goals.

One is to enter Hexi, occupy the land of Yueshi, and annex the other place into Qin soil.

The other is to cross the river to the north, capture Gaoque and Beijiao, and recover the homeland of Zhao occupied by the Huns.

Now the next strategy sent by Zhao Tuo is to take advantage of the situation to go north and cross the river to attack the Xiongnu.

One reason is that the main force of the Qin army is now near Helan, close to Yinshan, which is occupied by the Huns.

Another reason, and the most important reason, is that the noblewoman of the Yue clan who surrendered offered a strategy to destroy the Huns.

The First Emperor took the letter sent by Zhao Tuo and read it again.

Compared with Fusu's concise writing, one word can be worth several words of description.

The letter sent by Zhao Tuo was a big stack, not only reporting the military intelligence report, but also describing some interesting things.

Although the first emperor disliked Zhao Tuo's writing a little too much and delayed his reading time, he still enjoyed it when he read it.

"What a skillful Yueshi woman, she can be regarded as a character. However, since it is attached to my Great Qin, and I also offer a strategy to destroy the Huns, I will not be stingy, as long as this strategy is successful, I should reward her for destroying the Huns. ”

The First Emperor said lightly, compared to the Yue clan in Hexi, he naturally wanted to eliminate the Xiongnu in the north.

He heard that the head man of the Xiongnu built a city near Yinshan, called Touman City, which showed the dominance of the Xiongnu there.

There, it was the territory occupied by King Wuling of Zhao in the past.

The Hu people built a city on the homeland of Zhuxia.

This is a great shame for the First Emperor, who is known as the lord of the world!

This is like a spike, pierced deep in the heart of the First Emperor.

If he doesn't pull out Manchester City for a day, he won't be able to sleep for a day.

He naturally supported Zhao Tuo's strategy of crossing the river to capture the Xiongnu and recapture Gaoque and other places.

"The surrendered Yueshi people, everything will be arranged by the general himself, he will use the surrendered Hu people to build a righteous army, and use Hu to control Hu, this matter can be."

"It is up to him to decide on strategic matters, and as soon as he responds to the demand, he will coordinate with the Taiwei Mansion to meet the supply as much as possible."

The First Emperor asked Zhao Gao to draft an edict again, promising all the requirements made by Zhao Tuo in the letter, and there was no intention of remote micro-manipulation for this war.

It's just that in the end, he couldn't help but add.

"Let the general be careful of betrayal, and if anyone betrays, he will be severely punished!"

As he spoke, the First Emperor's gaze fell on another page.

There, it is recorded that in order to protect the interests of his own business, the good merchant Wu Shi of Great Qin betrayed Great Qin, colluded with the Yue Clan, and leaked important military information to the Yue Clan.

Seeing the name of Wu Shilu, the First Emperor's breathing became rapid, and his eyes were a little red.

This is a person who he personally praised as a model of good business in the Qin State.

He even gave Wu Shilu the treatment of "being more than a feudal monarch".

Now, Wu Shilu has betrayed him.

Treachery......

Although Zhao Tuo saw through Wu Shilu's behavior, and used Wu Shi Lu to project intelligence to the Yue people, after Wu Shi Lu was captured, he also tried his best to cooperate with the actions of the Qin army, and finally succeeded in booby-trapping the Yue army, so that the Qin army won a big victory.

But betrayal is betrayal!

The First Emperor closed his eyes.

Faces appeared in front of his eyes.

The Empress Dowager.

Adult.

Fan Yu period.

Yan Dan.

Xiong Qi.

Wu Shi Luo.

When the First Emperor opened his eyes again.

His eyes were full of coldness.

There is a third update a little later.
