In Xianyang City, there is a foggy area.

The rain drizzles.

"Where is the king?"

Holding an umbrella in his hand, Li Si rushed to the Xianyang Palace where Ying Zheng lived, regardless of the wet shoes.

"The king is discussing affairs with General Wang and General Meng."

In the convention hall, Ying Zheng was talking.

"Two beloved ministers, this time Lao Ai rebelled and colluded with the Huns outside the pass. The left prime minister suggested that I punish the Huns?"

The Hun envoys captured by Lao Ai's mansion could not withstand the punishment and explained in detail.

"The Huns in the north established the Shanyuting. In Chinese terms, the Huns produced the imperial title." Meng Tian sorted out the information of the Huns, "The various tribes of the Huns have already had a certain degree of organization and become stronger. In the future, they may become a disaster for China."

Ying Zheng's eyes fell on the map made of cloth. Outside the Great Wall and south of the Yellow River, a large area of ​​fertile land was held in the hands of the Huns. It was like a sword hanging over his head, making people feel particularly uncomfortable.

Once the Huns broke through the direction of Shangjun, they could enter the Guanzhong Plain and threaten the capital Xianyang.

Wang Jian and Meng Wu looked at each other and saw and appreciated each other.

The young king Ying Zheng and the young general Meng Tian realized the threat of the Huns, but the time is not yet ripe for the attack on the Huns.

But Wang Jian is more cautious and will never say more things he shouldn't say.

"Where the king's sword is pointed, I will hit him." Wang Jian held his fists with his hands, sat upright, his words were strong, but he did not express his attitude.

"Weapons are major issues of the country. The king can summon ministers to hold court discussions to see what their ministers have to say." Meng Wu fought against the Huns in his early years and knew that the Huns were mainly cavalry, and they were not easy to deal with.

When Ying Zheng saw that the two generals he relied most were unwilling to go to war with the Huns, he felt a little unhappy.

Since Duke Xiaogong, Qin State has become increasingly powerful and has dominated the princes. The barbarians outside the pass dare to come and take care of the tiger's beard. Ying Zheng can't bear to face. After taking power, Ying Zheng also wanted to win a battle and increase his prestige.

"Meng Tian, ​​what do you think?"

The veteran is steadfast, young people have a strong ambition. Ying Zheng's eyes fell earnestly on Meng Tian.

Meng Tian attended this military discussion, and more of it came to listen to the study, and never thought about taking over the main people.

However, since Ying Zheng asked, Meng Tian could not pretend to be deaf and dumb. During the rise of the Qin people, almost every king was fighting with the Hu people, and Ying Zheng was familiar with the history of his ancestors. In Ying Zheng's opinion, it was not too difficult to attack the Hu people outside the pass.

"If we want to seize Henan and completely eliminate the threat from the Huns to Guanzhong, how many people can the king give to the Mo general?" Meng Tian pointed to the Hetao Plain on the map and asked.

"How many people do you need?"

"At least three hundred thousand people."

“·······”

Ying Zheng pondered and stopped talking. In this era, the army of 300,000 people was almost half of the Qin army. After seizing the Hetao Plain, in order to defend against the Huns, 300,000 people could not be unarmed at once and needed to be stationed in Hetao for a long time.

With the national strength of Qin, I am afraid I will not be able to bear it in the long run.

The 300,000 people Meng Tian said were not just guessing or copying history.

Meng Tian in history, the strategy of seizing the Hetao Plain was not known. However, when interrogating the Xiongnu prisoners, Meng Tian combined the information in his hands and estimated that there were no less than 500,000 Xiongnu people in the Hetao land.

The land of Hetao has abundant water and grass. Compared with the winter in the northern part of the desert, the winter in Hetao is not too comfortable. Here, the Huns reproduce very quickly and cattle and sheep are in herds. When the Huns learn to build cities, it will be even more difficult to deal with.

With the Huns' tactics, if they lose, they will only run away and flee back to the grassland north of the Yellow River. What Meng Tian thought was not only to regain Hetao, but also to wipe out the Huns in Hetao. Without 300,000 people, this could not be done at all.

When destroying Chu, Wang Jian insisted on 600,000 troops. It seemed that he wasted his troops, but when it was implemented, Wang Jian could defeat Chu State in one battle. The stronger the army, the more powerful the army, the better it would be to fall under the correct generals.

"You have only commanded 30,000 troops at most. I will give you 300,000 people. I will see that you will be so busy that you can't handle it at all!" Meng Wu scolded him angrily and glared at Meng Tian.

You, I have not commanded 300,000 troops yet, so you are so arrogant.

In Qin State, when a father teaches his son a lesson, his son can only be treated respectfully. Qin law clearly stipulates that if a son is unfilial, his parents can sue the government, ask the government to punish him, or even execute the unfilial son.

Meng Tian was not worried that Meng Wu would treat him like this, but in front of me, it would be better to be respectful.

"Haha, General Meng, as the saying goes, you should be better than the best!

Ying Zheng waved his hand and asked someone to put away the map, temporarily dispelling the idea of ​​going to war with the Huns. However, the seeds had been planted, and Ying Zheng did not forget the sense of oppression brought to him by the Huns.

There were more Xiongnu tribes than in the Spring and Autumn Period, but now the Huns are gradually unifying under the Shanyu court. Thinking of this, Ying Zheng felt that he should speed up the pace of unification of the world.

"King, Li Keqing is here."

After Wang Jian and Meng Wu left, Song Wu hurried forward and brought news from Li Si.

After Zhao Gao and Zhao Cheng arrested Lao Ai, Li Si was responsible for the trial. During the Lao Ai rebellion, Li Si put in a lot of effort. After returning to Xianyang, Li Si was promoted from the chief of the Prime Minister's Office to a guest minister who could participate in the court.

After a few days of sight, Li Si seemed even more radiant. After lying in so many years, he was able to truly occupy the heels in Qin and become a mouse in a huge granary.

Li Si is too passionate about power.

Meng Tian retreated aside and shook his head in his heart. In Meng Tian's opinion, Li Si was still far behind the Legal martyr Shang Yang. He acted too radically and could not be considered a truly promising politician.

"Li Aiqing, has Lao Ai confessed?" Ying Zheng raised the small tripod on the table and took a sip of fragrant tea.

"Lao Ai was recruited. When he entered the palace, the right prime minister bribed the clean middle-aged man, and was able to hide the truth and sneak into the palace smoothly." Li Si raised his hands flat and presented the bamboo slips in his hand. There was a little excitement and a little fear in his words.

Lu Buwei, who was once powerful, was afraid that he would completely fall.

After Lu Buwei became the prime minister of Qin, he raised his disciples and formed clans, but it attracted Ying Zheng's suspicion.

Li Si told himself in his heart that in the future, he must not form a clique in Qin State.

"Investigate, continue to investigate, and find out what is related to this matter!"

After scanning Lao Ai's confession, Ying Zheng slapped the table with a bang. Lu Buwei, I respect you as Zhong's father, but you are fine. Not only did I go to my mother's bed, but I also pulled up a pimp.

"I will pass on my will and immediately remove Lu Buwei from the position of the prime minister!"
