Zhao Gao returned to Xianyang Palace and told Emperor Qin the truth about the situation. It was not that he deliberately complained, but that as long as there was anything in the world that Emperor Qin wanted to pay attention to, there was nothing he didn't know about.
What's more, today's matter is not a trivial matter. How dare Zhao Gao hide it and not report it.
In the Hall of Yangxin, Emperor Qin listened to Zhao Gao's report, and the expression on his face did not change at all. He replied calmly: "I understand, the Prime Minister will figure it out."
There was no more words after that. Zhao Gao's original expectation that Emperor Qin would be furious and the Qin court would be shaken did not happen.
Logically speaking, Emperor Qin was not a man who would compromise. Even Zhao Gao couldn't figure out what he was doing now. However, he did not dare to say more, as it would appear that he had bad intentions, so he had to put down his doubts.
After a long time, Emperor Qin finally spoke: "Fusu and Hu Hai have been away for a long time. Please convey my order to the two brothers to return to Chang'an as soon as possible. Next month, I will take them to sacrifice in the ancestral temple."
Zhao Gao's pupils shrank, and then he retreated as he was told.
…
In the north, on the grassland, Fusu sat on a chariot, drew his long sword and pointed at the Hu tribe in the distance, and the 20,000 black cavalry behind him surged in like a tide, surrounding the Hu tribe.
After more than two years of being exposed to the wind and sun in the North, Fusu's originally fair face has turned slightly dark.
The Hu tribe in the distance was suddenly attacked, and sharp horns sounded immediately. The strong men in the tribe took weapons and tried to kill or drive away this group of invading "devils".
However, the Hu people with only courage did not create a miracle. Under the charge of the Qin cavalry, they fell like wheat, and it almost turned into a massacre.
Fusu just looked at it coldly. This was not the first time he led troops on an expedition, and he knew where his benevolence should be used.
When the Qin army shattered all resistance and the remaining Hu people knelt down and surrendered, Fusu's chariot slowly moved forward and ordered to the cavalry commander:
"The Hu people have offended our great Qin Tianwei. They deserve to die, but their people are innocent. Go and count all the Hu people who have attacked the Qin army with swords. They should be executed. Leave some food for the women and children and let them live."
The cavalry commander nodded slightly and ordered to continue. He had already expected this situation. He was not Fusu's first subordinate commander. His predecessors were all "retired" by Mr. Fusu because of "indiscriminate killing".
Zhongxin Hou Meng Ao.
Yes, these 20,000 troops were allocated by Meng Ao to Fusu for him to march and set up formations for training. However, Fusu didn't like military matters by nature, so he asked Meng Ao for a commander to lead the 20,000 cavalry.
There is no general in command of the border army who is not decisive in killing. When Fusu went out for the first time, he saw with his own eyes that the commander ordered to slaughter an entire tribe, men, women, old and children, and fell out with him on the spot.
.
Later, at Fusu's request, five commanders were changed one after another. Meng Ao finally became impatient and directly designated a disciple of the Meng family and told him: If Master Fusu is dissatisfied with you, he will be killed directly.
This has led to the current situation.
The messenger sent by Emperor Qin changed horses without changing people along the way, and conveyed the decree to Fusu within five days.
I saw the imperial edict saying: Set out as soon as you see the edict.
After receiving the imperial edict, Fusu immediately ordered the preparation of the army.
The little eunuch who delivered the order said with a troubled expression: "Master Fusu, His Majesty's order is for you to ignore those troops and return directly to Chang'an. You..."
I saw Fusu smiling gently at the young eunuch: "Father-in-law, don't worry, Fusu will not delay too much time. Please just wait for a moment, father-in-law."
Then, while the little eunuch was stunned, a group of five thousand light-armored cavalry gathered in less than half a quarter of an hour. What amazed him was not the speed of the cavalry's gathering, but the strong energy and blood that the entire cavalry exuded.
Power, occasionally a few flowing ones are real Qi.
Such a lineup is no less impressive than the Forbidden Army. Mr. Fusu brought 5,000 new soldiers out of Chang'an in the past, and he actually managed to accumulate such strength.
The little eunuch thought that was the end, but after waiting for dozens of breaths, Fusu didn't move and couldn't help but look at him in confusion.
Fusu smiled slightly: "Father, wait a moment, there are still some chores to do."
The young eunuch looked confused, but Fusu was right. He really didn't let him wait any longer. About forty people came to Fusu and shouted in unison: "I have seen Mr. Fusu."
These people were wearing different clothes, including blue robes, brocade robes, and Confucian robes. But in the young eunuch's perception, these were all middle-level warriors. His pupils could not help but shrink, and he did not know what he was thinking in his heart.
While greeting everyone, Fusu said to the young eunuch: "Excuse me for waiting, father-in-law. These talents are all my new disciples. They will accompany me back to Chang'an. You can leave now, please."
Of course, the young eunuch did not dare to go first, so he respectfully made a gesture of invitation to Fusu: "Master, please go first."
Fusu laughed "haha", mounted his horse without hesitation, took the lead, and headed straight for Chang'an, but there was one thought in his heart: Father, have you seen the gap between Hu Hai and me?
In southern Xinjiang, after the young eunuch read out the imperial edict, he briefly told Hu Hai what Emperor Qin wanted and urged Hu Hai to get on his way as soon as possible.
Hu Hai was also confused: "What will the wolf army do that day?"
The young eunuch said solemnly: "Your Majesty just asked the young master to return to Chang'an as soon as possible regardless of everything. As for the Sirius Army, the army is marching slowly, so please arrange the young master. There is no need to follow him."
Hu Hai did not respond, but looked at Lin Ze.
Lin Ze understood immediately, stepped forward and pulled the young eunuch aside, and secretly stuffed a stack of gold tickets into it.
The little eunuch seemed young, but his skills were good. He put the golden ticket in his arms without leaving any trace, and then said with a smile: "I have heard that Mr. Lin is doing things in a grand manner. What are your orders?"
Lin Ze smiled faintly: "My father-in-law, I'm sorry. Master Zhongshu Ling is my son's teacher. We are all a family. There is nothing we should not give you. I just want to ask one more question. Master Zhongshu Ling didn't tell you what to order."
?”
The little eunuch's face changed slightly and he coughed slightly, but did not speak. Instead, he looked around.
Lin Ze didn't know what he meant, so he immediately asked the four elders of Fang Xiandao to guard outside the tent.
When the young eunuch saw Lin Ze and Hu Hai alone in the tent, he said, "Before I leave, my godfather asked me to remind Mr. Hu Hai that the lieutenant general in the court has changed. Please return to the court as soon as possible."
Lin Ze and Hu Hai looked at each other, but Lin Ze continued to ask: "But I don't know what will happen?"
The young eunuch shook his head: "My godfather didn't tell me this, he just asked me to pass the message on to the young master."
Lin Ze couldn't help but sigh secretly: Even though he had been encouraging Hu Haiduo to get close to Zhao Gao for the past two years, although it had some effect, it was still not to the point where Zhao Gao was planning for Hu Hai.
Fortunately, Zhao Gao will also pass on some news appropriately, which is much better than before.
Haste makes waste, and this matter can only be dealt with slowly. Lin Ze can only comfort himself in this way. After all, it is still too early, and the relationship can still be developed slowly.
