Chapter 224: How many cards do you have that I don’t know about?

In terms of mobility, cavalry without the suffix big guy can blow the chariot to pieces.
But in terms of impact force, each tall chariot driven by four horses would smash the cavalry into pieces and trample them into mud.
Two hundred years later, the king of the Spring and Autumn battlefield of the Warring States Period wantedonly vented his glory to the sky and the earth, returning to the only throne.
This time, the throne was forged with the flesh and blood of more than 10,000 Hun cavalrymen.
It was made of the most elite cavalry of the grassland nomads in the world, the king of the battlefield of this era, which should have completely defeated chariots.
The ferocious and sturdy chariots tore apart the Hun horses and smashed the Hun army formation .
The blood feast is so dazzling in the sun.
It is the pride of the Qin warriors who are undefeated in the battlefield and are as fierce as tigers and wolves.
It is a policy built by military nobility that one would be happy to hear of war and would not hesitate to sacrifice one's life. It is the best policy of this era.
It is the anger, revenge, and self-affirmation of Meng Tian, ​​the lord of Jiuyuan County.
The Xiongnu mobilized their entire army overnight and captured Jiuyuan and Yanmen counties.
One day, Meng Tian rushed there and conquered Jiuyuan and Yanmen counties with his chariot.
This era belongs to military generals, to the Qin Dynasty, to the agricultural people who aspired to rule the world and built the Great Wall in an attempt to attack the nomadic peoples.
The Qin State conquered the world through war, and when it came to war, the Qin State would not submit to anyone.
Xiongnu, Donghu, Qiang clan...
These nomadic peoples who trampled the mountains and rivers of the Central Plains with their iron hooves and caused the land of China to sink in the future were now all younger brothers. They were beaten, pinned down, ridden, and hung...
The top of Jiuyuan City.
Covered in blood, Meng Tian stroked the stone bricks of the city wall and looked at the Hun cavalry fleeing to the north.
The hatred in his eyes not only did not diminish in the slightest after he captured two counties in a row, but instead became even more intense.
The deep red blood of the Huns watered the Jiuyuan City and County.
More than ten thousand Hun heads were used to build up high positions and generous salaries.
The Qin State did not have the phrase "repay evil with kindness".
There is no such thing as an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
What the Qin State has given shall be repaid tenfold, a hundredfold, or a thousandfold.
"General, shall we chase him or not?"
Li You was trembling all over, his face turned pale , and his breath seemed very weak.
But his eyes were shining, and he was extremely excited. He stood behind Meng Tian and shouted excitedly.
No one knows why Li You, who studied Legalism with his father since childhood, has such great adaptability to military affairs. Perhaps this is talent.
Meng Tian turned his head and glanced at Li You, whose face showed a crazy look, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Li Si's son...
"No one is allowed to pursue us. Violators will be executed. Search the nearby cities with Jiuyuan and Yanmen as the center."
Why not?
Li You felt puzzled.
There were at least 10,000 Hun cavalrymen fleeing in panic. Why didn't they chase them and kill them all?
A trace of depression flashed across his eyes, and he replied in a muffled voice: "Yes!"
Li You's action surprised Meng Tian even more.
It was his first time on the battlefield and he had such performance and quickly adapted to the battlefield which was already remarkable. He was better than most of the children of military strategists who had been exposed to military tactics since childhood.
What is even more commendable is that he was able to suppress his confusion, ignore the questions, and directly follow the orders without any noble airs of a prime minister's son.
Judging from this son and his father, perhaps even the court underestimated Li Si.
The prince asked me to bring this boy out to see the world, so I might as well make a good relationship with Li Si.
"etc."
Thinking of this, Meng Tian called out to Li You, who was about to run down to pass on the message.
"exist!"
Li You acted upon hearing the order. He turned around without any delay, leaned on the handrail and waited for orders.
But obviously his body couldn't keep up with his brain. Such quick movements went against his body's instincts. He swayed twice in place before he could stand firm.
"If you have doubts, why don't you ask?"
"Military orders are as heavy as mountains. They must be carried out immediately!"
"Did your father tell you this?" Meng Tian looked up to Li Si even more.
"...I saw it in a novel." Li You blushed. He raised his eyelids and quickly glanced at Meng Tian. Then he immediately lowered his eyes and said nervously, "Is it wrong..."
"Yes." Meng Tian nodded and said, "If the Qin army was like you, the Great Desert would have long been a county of Qin."
Meng Tian was a man who had served as a general of the Qin Dynasty. He was a role model and legend in the eyes of those military sons who rejected Li You.
Li You was extremely surprised and delighted to receive Meng Tian's praise. He was a hundred times a thousand times happier than receiving praise from his father.
The young man suddenly looked up, no longer pretending to be sophisticated, and asked in surprise, "Really?"
"ha!"
Meng Tian shook his head and laughed.
Still a child after all.
"Naturally true."
Meng Tian's laughter let Li You know that his performance just now was not brave enough, so he quickly restrained his smile and tried to be serious.
He raised his hands and said in a hoarse voice, imitating the description in the novel, pretending to be heroic: "Thank you, General!"
"Tian was able to defeat the enemy with chariots, which was surprising. He calculated that the Xiongnu looked down on me and were ignorant of chariots. If I leave the city and pursue them now, it would be correct.
"If there is a reputable person among the Xiongnu who can gather the remaining soldiers to ambush our army, our army's horsemanship is inferior to that of the Xiongnu, and we are in danger of being defeated. The way to fight a war is to think about defeat before thinking about victory."
"only!"
Li You is stubborn, but not stupid.
Hearing the guidance in Meng Tian's words, he was overjoyed and responded loudly.
"If you have any other questions, please tell me."
"May I ask, General, what shall we do with the captured Huns?"
Just now Meng Tian said that he would search the nearby cities, but he did not mention how to deal with the Huns if they were found.
Li You made up for some military common sense before joining the army. He knew that except for killing on the battlefield, this kind of search should use prisoners as labor and not kill anyone.
The question is to know whether the captured Huns should be kept nearby or sent back to Shangjun.
"No prisoners." Meng Tian said indifferently.
"No? How could there be no? The Huns will definitely not withdraw completely." Li You asked in surprise.
"The Qin State counts military merits based on the number of heads killed. Those who remain are the military merits of our Qin men."
"This, General." Li You took a deep breath and said, "If we do this, the next time our Great Qin soldiers are defeated by the Huns, they will not take prisoners. This..."
"So what?"
Meng Tian sneered, and the blood on his face made his smiling face so horrible that Li Youqing couldn't help but take a step back.
Meng Tian turned his head and stared at the Xiongnu cavalry who had fled so far away that they were almost out of his sight.
"You Xiongnu dogs must be angry and do not surrender. You must fight until the last man in your tribe is dead. Use your dog heads to make me, Meng Tian, ​​a marquis."
The Qin generals were never afraid of their opponents' anger. They were only afraid that their opponents would surrender too quickly, leaving them with no battles to fight and no military merits to gain.
Looking at Meng Tian, ​​who had a very high reputation in the Qin State, the blood in the young man's heart gradually surged and boiled like boiling water.
Although he came from an excellent family, he did not know the benefits of high positions and generous salaries at that time.
But he knew that the battlefield was what he wanted.
This feeling of looking down on everything, conquering and expanding, being invincible in the world, and being afraid that the opponent will surrender too early and there will be no battle to fight, is much more refreshing than reading "Han Feizi"!
"Yes!" the young man responded loudly.
Turning around, he, who had only participated in one battle, had a murderous aura in his eyes that was even more fierce than that of his father, who had been the chief justice of the Qin Dynasty for many years.
kill!
kill!
kill!
This is Li You’s idea.
This is also the thought of thousands of new Qin soldiers.
One after another, they formed a fierce and powerful army that dominated the world and was reviled by the six nations.
Found a country through war.
To support the country through war.
The strength of Qin lies in war.
Shangjun.
A fast horse came from the northwest, rushed into the city, and reported the outcome of the war to Crown Prince Ying Fusu.
Inside the county magistrate’s mansion.
Crown Prince Ying Fusu laughed loudly towards the sky, and his laughter was so loud that it spread throughout the seven northwestern counties.
The New Year has not yet arrived.
Yanmen and Jiuyuan returned to Qin territory.
Did we win?
How did they win this battle with their heavy chariots?
Li Mu, Lord Wu'an of Zhao, frowned and took the battle report from the prince and read it carefully.
Finished reading.
Li Mu's brows were deeply furrowed, with surprise and uncertainty flashing in his eyes.
Using chariots to defeat the enemy, let alone the Huns, even I have never thought of such a tactic.
Although this tactic can only be used once by the Hu people, it is remarkable that he can think of things that ordinary people cannot and is not bound by the fixed situations in military books.
If this boy put all his heart and soul into military affairs instead of court affairs.
In time, perhaps he will no longer be under the shepherd’s control.
After being surprised, Li Mu looked at the brazier in the house and thought of the letter that Ying Chengjiao had written to him.
As soon as the surprise disappeared from his eyes, doubt and uncertainty came.
How did the Lord know that Meng Tian could win? Did he guess the purpose of the chariot?
wrong!
Before arriving at Shangjun, the king said that Meng Tian might not be worse than Mu in fighting the Huns, and he had already predicted that Meng Tian would win the battle.
Could it be that there really is a technique to deduce the mysteries of the universe in this world?
The victory or defeat has been decided before the war even starts. How ridiculous!
"Lord Wu'an?" Ying Fusu woke Li Mu up with a strange look on his face and asked, "Is there something wrong with this battle?"
Li Mu came back to his senses, shook his head with a bad look on his face, and said, "Nothing wrong."
"What is so surprising about Wu'an Jun? Didn't my uncle say that Meng Tian could win this battle?"
Before the expedition, Ying Chengjiao told his nephew to let Meng Tian fight back and that they would surely win the battle.
Hearing Ying Fusu's words, Li Mu's expression became strange, and he frowned and asked, "You always thought Meng Tian could win?"
"Of course it is so, otherwise Fusu would not have allowed Meng Tian to go to war, let alone let Li You accompany him."
Before Meng Tian set out, did he tell this boy what the chariot was for?
Li Mu said in a deep voice: "Did you see the use of the chariots long ago, or was it Meng Tian who told you?"
"Fusu is not a student of military science. Besides, even Wu'an Jun didn't see the use of chariots, so how could Fusu know? Meng Tian didn't tell me before he set out."
Fusu smiled bitterly.
"Then how did you know?"
"Fusu, don't you want to say anything? Uncle said Meng Tian will win this battle, so he will win."
"Ridiculous!" Li Mu was furious and suddenly shouted loudly, scaring Ying Fusu.
Ying Fusu, who often went to Chang'an Junfu when he was a child, had never seen Li Mu have such great emotional fluctuations.
Oh, except for the incident in the county magistrate’s lobby the day before yesterday.
But Li Mu's rage in the county magistrate's hall that day was just an act, meant to provoke Meng Tian into battle.
Ying Fusu was an insider, otherwise how could Ying Fusu, who had learned a little bit of tyranny from the First Emperor, allow Li Mu to make the decision.
The veins on Li Mu's forehead were throbbing.
The only remaining Wu'an Jun in the world is a man of pride and arrogance. Not many people, things or events can be taken seriously by him.
It's not even acceptable to look at, let alone to enter their heart and make them angry.
But today, Li Mu became inexplicably furious because of a word from Ying Fusu.
"There is no fixed position in war, and there is no fixed shape in water. There is no absolute winner or loser in war from beginning to end! No matter how powerful Your Majesty is, how can you accurately judge the success or failure of a war thousands of miles away in Xianyang a few days before the war begins? Absurd! Absurd!"
Li Mu paced back and forth, saying the word "ridiculous" twice.
The world's best military commander had a distorted face. It was more like he was giving an eloquent speech on his lifelong learning than explaining to Ying Fusu.
Ying Fusu, who knew little about military strategy, found this very strange.
But the Crown Prince of Qin, who firmly believed his uncle's words "Ask Li Mu if you have any questions about foreign affairs", did not keep silent but asked sincerely: "What is the problem?"
"Yes! This problem is bigger than the sky!" Li Mu raised his eyebrows and said firmly.
Li Mu’s most urgent problem was the collapse of his own beliefs.
If we can know the outcome of a battle before it happens, then is there any need for military strategists who focus on warfare to exist?
This feeling is hard to explain.
Let me give you an inappropriate example.
Zhang San is very accurate in fortune-telling.
The stock god Buffett asked Zhang San to tell him about the stock market situation tomorrow.
Zhang San asked what the stock market is?
Buffett told Zhang San what the stock market is.
So Zhang San started fortune-telling and gave Buffett all the stock price increases.
The next day, Zhang San got everything right.
The stock god fell into self-doubt. What’s the use of everything I have learned over the years?
This is probably the case with Li Mu.
"Fusu doesn't understand." The prince blinked and said, "If Wu'an Jun leads the army to fight, Fusu, although he is not familiar with military affairs, will know that this battle will be won. Isn't this also knowing the outcome before the battle?"
"We are not the same!" Li Mu was very impatient and said bluntly: "You know that Mu can win because Mu kept the Xiongnu from moving for ten years, defeated Wang Jian, killed Heng Yi, and never lost a battle in his life. Meng Tian was defeated by Xiang Yan and lost Jiuyuan. What achievements did he make in his life? How can he be compared with Mu?"
Ying Fusu was somewhat unhappy, and his expression became obviously colder.
The relationship between Meng Tian and Ying Fusu is like the relationship between Meng Wu and Ying Chengjiao.
Meng Tian watched Ying Fusu grow up and was very caring towards him.
Li Mu belittled Meng Tian so much. Although Ying Fusu knew that what Li Mu said was true, he was still dissatisfied.
Li Mu saw the prince's face change, but he didn't care.
He doesn't even care about the First Emperor's change of attitude, so how could he care about his son?
"Wu'an Jun didn't think of using chariots to defeat the enemy, but Meng Tian did."
"It is true that Mu was wrong." Li Mu said what he meant without trying to save face and nodded.
Such a real Li Mu.
Ying Fusu said secretly.
He seemed to understand how his uncle, who had a bad temper, could tolerate Li Mu, who also had a bad temper.
If Li Mu said something like thinking that chariots were nothing special at this moment, Ying Fusu would not continue the conversation.
Knowing that Li Mu was a straightforward person, Ying Fusu said with a smile: "Uncle may have thought of the use of chariots."
"Before leaving Xianyang, the Lord told us to send Meng Tian to fight, and we will definitely win this battle." Li Mu squatted down and stared at the flames burning in the brazier. The flame in his chest was higher than the flame in the brazier. "The Lord is not familiar with military affairs, how did he know..."
Han Fei, who had been sitting in the lobby without saying a word, sighed, picked up his pen to write, and handed it to Li Mu after he finished writing.
"What again?" Li Mu took it impatiently.
【Just get used to it. 】
"What kind of bullshit is that? It turns out you're not talking about your Legalist school!" Li Mu retorted mercilessly.
Ying Fusu: I feel better. He is indeed Lu Zhi.
"Ha!" Han Fei uttered a single syllable, emphasizing his tone and laughing with sympathy.
He took out the unfinished "Han Feizi" from his arms and rewrote it.
He waved it twice in front of Li Mu.
What are you worried about? Even Han Feizi has been changed! Legalism has been changed!
Li Mu knew Han Fei very well and understood what Han Fei meant. He looked at Han Fei pitifully and said, "It's different. Legalists can learn by themselves by reading the Book of Law, Guanzi, and Shangjunshu."
"Oh!"
Han Fei laughed again.
Brush, brush, brush~
Writing quickly.
[The Art of War by Sun Tzu, The Art of War by Wu Zi, The Art of War by Sun Bin.]
It sounds as if you military strategists don't have any books.
"This is not a matter for military strategists at all. Military strategy is about how to win, not how to know the outcome before the battle." Li Mu said irritably: "Besides, the king is not familiar with military affairs. He leads the troops to fight relying on the advantages of weapons."
Brush, brush, brush~
Han Fei continued to write furiously.
[Since Your Majesty can defeat you with sharp weapons, why should he defeat you with military tactics? 】
Li Mu laughed, his smile full of pride.
"In the contemporary military doctrine, the shepherd is the most respected."
"Oh!"
Han Fei laughed for the third time.
This made Li Mu's forehead veins bulge, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You'd better give me a reason."
I'm telling the truth, what's so funny!
Han Fei shook the "Han Feizi" in his hand with an expressionless face.
Li Mu's angry expression froze.
Li Mu could only talk about contemporary military tactics, but Han Fei could remove the word "contemporary".
The Legalists, with Han Fei as the most respected.
Past Li Kui, Shang Yang and all the other great Legalist masters.
Han Fei, who wrote "Han Feizi", was the first of the Legalists.
The first representative figure of the Legalists mentioned in history books is Han Fei.
And this was before discussing law with Ying Chengjiao.
Han Fei lost the Legalist debate on "law" and "technique" and rewrote "Han Feizi".
The message in Han Fei's eyes was simple - you have never had a serious debate with the monarch, so how do you know that the monarch is not familiar with the art of war?
"Even if Your Majesty's military attainments are higher than mine, that doesn't make sense. I've said that Your Majesty's abilities are not the abilities of a military strategist. There is no record in any military book that one can know victory or defeat before the battle.
"If that's the case, we should fight when we win and avoid when we lose. How could such a thing happen in the world? Since Sun Tzu founded the military theory, there has never been such a thing..."
Brush, brush, brush~
Before Li Mu finished speaking, Han Fei began to write furiously.
As soon as he saw Han Fei take action.
Li Mu stopped talking at the right time, with annoyance in his eyes - Let me see how you can save your Majesty!
After a while, Han Fei finished writing.
[The founder of the military strategy may be Sun Wu, or Tai Gong Wang. 】
Li Mu was stunned, then he waved his fists and roared, he felt he was disrespected.
"That's a legend! It's a legend! The Taigong Art of War has never appeared in the world!"
Mu is having a serious discussion with you, and you are telling him legends?
Taigong Wang is Jiang Ziya, Jiang Wang.
Legend has it that Taigong Wang would use tortoise shells to predict every major war.
If it is auspicious, the whole army will attack, trying to win the greatest results in one battle.
If the situation is bad, then either avoid it or fight a small battle, and try to avoid any casualties to the army.
Taigong Wang had his share of victories and defeats in battle throughout his life, but overall Zhou's campaign against Shang was very smooth.
He wrote down this tactic, which was completely different from the military tactics of later generations, in "Tai Gong's Art of War".
[The Sword of Yue Girl is also a legend.]
"You are talking nonsense! How can the "Sword of Yue Girl" be compared with the "Art of War by Taigong"? "
[Drunkard, you should be humble.]
Han Fei first wrote nine words.
Li Mu's face darkened, and his dissatisfaction was clearly visible on his face.
Han Fei spent a long time writing this time.
Han Fei wrote while Li Mu read.
[You are so proud of your military skills that you look down on everyone else. You have been under the command of the Lord for so long and have not changed at all. You think you are inferior to the Lord because of his strange and lewd skills, not because of the difference in military skills.]
[Today, rather than saying that you are entangled with how the Lord knows the victory or defeat of the war, it is better to say that you, Li Mu, miscalculated the war, so you are furious. Just like Fei at the beginning, before discussing the law with the Lord, Fei was also like you. ]
Li Mu suppressed his anger and did not flare up.
Thinking back to the time before the barbecue party, Han Fei had always questioned Ying Chengjiao's decisions and expressed a lot of dissatisfaction.
After losing the debate, Han Fei, who was even more crazy than Li Mu, never behaved wildly again.
As he thought so, Han Fei did not stop writing.
[Before the Lord sent you and me to the northwest, we had a conversation, but it was interrupted by the 800-mile fast horse. When the merchant and the sweeping monk went to Han, did the Lord do this? This shows that he is worried about you. ]
[The matter of Han is to show the king the importance of the people's will and opinions. He wants the king to focus on the people instead of those meritorious nobles. The seven counties in the northwest are the achievements that the king wants to show.]
【Shang Yang's reforms made Qin strong. The slave family became a military family. The power of the monarch was centralized, which led to the unification of the Qin State and the beginning of the era of the Great Qin Empire. Your Majesty's reforms this time are far better than Shang Yang's.】
【This is a top-down reform. If it is completed, it will form an unprecedented bottom-up system. The world is not the world of one person, but the world of all people. It is a blessing for you and me to lead this grand event and be the first in the world. 】
[The Lord knows that you have the ability to conquer the Huns but does not appoint you because he wants you to lead the army to the next era and to make a further step in history. I am in charge of civil affairs, and you are in charge of military affairs. Only when we work together can we achieve great things.]
[You should know how lazy the Lord is. For you, I can use my abilities in the seven counties of the northwest. I would rather explode my abilities. Send people to the land of the Xiongnu to prevent the Xiongnu from harassing us. If you still don't wake up, it is better to write back to the Lord and lead the troops into the Xiongnu land.]
Li Mu was silent for a moment, then said in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty, I have never said so much to you."
Mu thought that this trip to the northwest was just to assist Ying Fusu and pave the way for him...
[I have said this indirectly, but you just don't care. The Biography of Yue Fei given to you asks you to have more contact with Meng Wu. Do you think that the Lord just said it casually? ]
When Han Fei was halfway through writing, Crown Prince Ying Fusu came over and stood behind him, watching quietly.
If it were the old Ying Fusu, he would definitely not do such a thing - do not look at what is inappropriate.
Now……
I am the prince, I can watch whatever I want!
At this moment, Ying Fusu could no longer hold back and immediately said, "What exactly does my uncle want to do? He just wants me to implement a benevolent policy, but he didn't tell me the specific measures."
[As the New Year approaches, everything should be put on hold. Prince, don't be impatient, the reform will be implemented after the New Year. ]
While Han Fei was answering Ying Fusu's question, Li Mu quietly took the paper and pen and began to write.
Han Fei answered Ying Fusu's question and was very pleased to see what Li Mu had done.
This drunkard finally listened to the advice, and the success of the reform in the seven northwestern counties is just around the corner!
Li Mu was not a stutterer, so he didn't need to use paper and pen to convey what he wanted to say.
There is only one reason for writing at this moment, to write a letter.
At this moment, the only person who could write a letter to Li Mu was Ying Chengjiao.
This is either an apology to the monarch or asking about the details of the monarch's reforms.
Han Fei felt relaxed, chuckled, and leaned over to look at Li Mu's letter.
[Sir, how do you know Meng Tian will win? Jieba said you have the "Tai Gong Military Strategy", show it to me.]
Han Fei's eyes went dark and he almost fell down.
It turned out that his wrists were sore from writing and all the writing was in vain.
Brat!
It is unteachable!
I wrote so much!
Is "Tai Gong's Art of War" the key point?
That's a hook! It's a hook!
All you do is think about those trivial military matters!
You have to write a letter!
Han Fei, dizzy with anger, wrote furiously, his handwriting as wild and unrestrained as his mood.
[It’s not that I can’t work with a drunkard! Just let him go to war! ]
Xianyang.
Chang'an Jun Mansion.
Ying Chengjiao blinked as he untied the envelopes from the two legs of a carrier pigeon.
How come one pigeon brought two letters?
After reading the two letters, I was completely confused.
How do I know Meng Tian wins? I’m a time traveler.
It’s written in history books, can I tell you this?
What is Taigong's Art of War? The one Zhang Liang got?
He hasn't been born yet. If you want to see him, you have to go find the old man named Huang Shigong to pick up his shoes.
You stutter and can't work with drunkards?
You two are usually so close that you seem to be as good as one. But something happened that broke down your relationship and you're going to throw the drunkard into the war.
"I'm talking to you, but you're reading a letter?" A voice interrupted Ying Chengjiao's thoughts.
The person who pronounced it was none other than the ruler of the Qin Empire, the First Emperor Ying Zheng.
A courtyard in Chang'an Jun Mansion.
On the old tree, the originally sparse branches and leaves were tied with red, green and yellow silk, which fluttered in the wind.
It looks extremely messy in the eyes of others, but in Ying Chengjiao's eyes it is indeed two other words - festive!
In the middle of the courtyard.
A stone table.
The First Emperor, who was not wearing the crown, was as solemn as a deep pool and a steep mountain. He sat on a stone bench with a cold face as he looked at his brother who was unfolding the letter and reading it.
He reached out his right hand and touched his waist, but felt nothing.
The First Emperor then remembered that he had traveled in casual clothes and had left the Sword of the King of Qin in the Zhangtai Palace and had not brought it out.
"I've finished reading it. What did my royal brother just say?" Ying Chengjiao said as he casually crumpled up the two pieces of letter paper.
The First Emperor narrowed his eyes.
The tip of his right index finger lightly tapped the stone table in front of him.
"Put it over here. I want to see what the letter is. It is more important than my words."
"It's nothing. Li Mu and Han Fei are just sick."
Ying Chengjiao did not refuse, but answered casually and placed two paper balls in front of the First Emperor.
This guy is so straightforward, there must be no useful information in these two pieces of paper.
Unroll the first wad of paper and smooth out any wrinkles.
[It’s not that I can’t work with a drunkard! Just let him go to war! ]
Looking up at Ying Chengjiao, the First Emperor instructed him in a senior manner: "Han Fei is from the royal family of Han and is a law student. He will not get along with a general like Li Mu who is arrogant and only cares about war and is unwilling to be bound. You should not let them go together."
That's because you didn't see how passionate they were.
Ying Chengjiao thought to himself and responded, "Ah, right, right."
...I should always carry the Qin King's Sword with me!
The First Emperor snorted coldly and his expression became even worse.
Since the first letter was a complaint, he thought the second letter was the same and became less interested.
But now that I have it, I might as well open it.
The First Emperor casually opened the second paper ball, not bothering to smooth out the wrinkles, and just looked at it with its wrinkled surface.
[Sir, how do you know Meng Tian will win? Jieba said you have the "Tai Gong Military Strategy", show it to me.]
His eyes suddenly narrowed, and the First Emperor spread out the letter, smoothed it out, and read it word by word.
He raised his head, his eyes gleaming, and asked, "The letter said Meng Tian would win. What did he win?"
The First Emperor's focus was completely different from that of Ying Chengjiao.
"We have won the battle against the Xiongnu, so we should have taken back Yanmen and Jiuyuan. We should be able to get there before the New Year with an 800-mile express horse. There's no rush."
Ying Chengjiao said it casually.
The First Emperor was annoyed when he heard this.
How can this not be urgent?
How can this war not be urgent?
Those are two counties, not two counties!
There are only thirty-six counties in the world!
Bang!
The First Emperor slammed the stone table in anger, his palms becoming numb and painful without him noticing, and he pointed at Ying Chengjiao and scolded him.
"Speak to me nicely, you brat! Did you take down Yanmen and Jiuyuan?"
The letter paper is in your hand, and you ask me?
Ying Chengjiao was helpless, and spread his hands and said, "I don't know either, the letter didn't say."
The First Emperor was furious. He read the letter written by Li Mu over and over again, trying to find out from the lines whether Jiuyuan and Yanmen had been recovered.
But there are only a few words in total, and no matter how much the First Emperor translated it, he could not suddenly add more words.
The infuriated First Emperor shouted angrily, "When Li Mu was in Zhao, he blocked my way and prevented Wang Jian from advancing an inch, killing his deputy general Heng Yi. He was so heroic back then. Look at him now, now that he's in your house, he's just as lazy and drunk as you!"
"Hey!" Ying Chengjiao stretched out his palm and raised it to the First Emperor, tilted his head and widened his eyes and said, "It's up to me to be undisciplined, and it has nothing to do with me to be a heavy drinker. I don't get drunk every day."
Bang!
The First Emperor slapped the letter paper.
The palm of the hand collided with the table through the letter paper, and the sound was still very loud.
"How dare you deny it! If you hadn't been distilling some extremely strong liquor, even if it was the strongest Chu King's liquor in the world, Li Mu wouldn't have gotten so drunk!"
This seems to make sense...
Putting his hand down awkwardly, Ying Chengjiao said awkwardly, "Well, my royal brother, please continue."
The First Emperor fiddled with Li Mu's letter, extremely angry.
"Look, look, you can't even grasp the key points now. You just glossed over the most important battles, but asked about the "Tai Gong Military Strategy". I doubt whether Li Mu, under your guidance, still has the power he had in the past!"
I don't know if he's powerful or not, but his temper hasn't changed at all...
Ying Chengjiao complained in his heart but didn't dare to respond. He didn't want to listen to the First Emperor's words.
But the First Emperor had already found him at Chang'an Jun Mansion, so could he just refuse to listen if he didn't want to?
"You can only deliver trivial matters through pigeon communication. The important information is hidden in the gossip. I might as well hand over the secret guards and the information to my mother!"
I no longer want the secret guards. It's annoying to have them following me sometimes.
Besides, this carrier pigeon is not your information. The carrier pigeon from Xianyang hasn’t flown over yet.
"Okay, okay! Give it to her, give it all to her!" Ying Chengjiao nodded repeatedly.
Seeing Ying Chengjiao's desperate look, the First Emperor became furious.
He had just eliminated Zhao Ji's men to clear the obstacles for Ying Chengjiao, so how could he provide Zhao Ji with secret guards at this time?
In Xianyang, the Dark Guards can be said to be the largest hidden force, in charge of the dark side of the Qin Empire.
"Don't play dumb with me, you little brat. Answer my questions! How could Wang Xi be under your control? How come those generals of the Meng family obey your orders? How much power do your subordinates control that I don't know? Does the Great Qin belong to me or to you, Ying Chengjiao?"
The First Emperor had a cold voice and a cold face.
