After coming out of the secret room, Ying Zheng called Sima Jie.
"A while ago, I asked you to select talents quickly. How is your progress?" Ying Zheng asked.
Since Han Fei's death, Ying Zheng has become even more eager to discover some talents. After all, there are too many things that need to be done now.
Of course Sima Jie knew what Ying Zheng was thinking, so he held up his hands and said, "Your Majesty, it is rare to find a great talent like Han Fei. I wonder if you can lower your standards?"
Seeing Sima Jie peeking at him, Ying Zheng laughed: "When did I say that I must find someone like Han Fei? As long as he is talented in Wen Lei Ju like you, I can recommend him."
Sima Jie responded, then said a few names, and then said: "Your Majesty, the Xu Fu you asked me to find last time has been here for a while, and unlike others, he specializes in medical skills and is very diligent. .”
Ying Zheng slapped his forehead, obviously forgetting about Xu Fu.
When he went to Jiayuguan last time, Ying Zheng promised Xu Wan to take care of his family. Xu Wan also specifically asked Ying Zheng to take care of his younger brother, which is Xu Fu.
Later, Ying Zheng wrote to Sima Jie, asking him to find Xu Fu and bring him to Wen Lei Ju.
After Jingjue came back last year, he immediately took his troops to Luoyi for New Year's Eve, so he completely forgot about it.
Ying Zheng said with a look of shame on his face: "Bring him here and let me see him."
Not long after, Sima Jie brought in a young man in his twenties, with an upright appearance and a gentle manner.
"Xu Fu pays homage to the king." Xu Fu bowed his hands and saluted.
"No need to be polite," Ying Zheng said, "Is your brother Xu Wan?"
"Exactly." Xu Fu replied.
"Do you like medical skills?" Ying Zheng asked.
Xu Fu said: "It is my wish to return to the king and become a doctor."
"Have you ever studied under a famous master?"
Xu Fu shook his head and said, "I just learned a little bit about rural medicine."
Ying Zheng thought for a moment and said, "I want to take you to the battlefield and study military medicine in the army. Do you want to go?"
Xu Fu asked in surprise: "Is what the king said true?"
"Haha, that can still be false." Ying Zheng said, "It seems you are willing?"
Xu Fu chuckled and said: "I asked my brother to take me to Longxi before, but he refused to say anything and insisted on asking me to study more poetry and calligraphy. But I still like to study medicine, especially those who can be used in the military. The injured.”
"Then I will take you with me this time." Ying Zheng said, "In two days I will go to Yinshan to have peace talks with the Huns' Great Chanyu. However, in the previous battle, there were many wounded soldiers in the army. This training opportunity is not small.”
Xu Fu cupped his hands and said, "Then please bring me with you, Your Majesty."
"Okay, you go report to the military medical team and we will set off in two days," Ying Zheng said.
Xu Fu thanked him and reported happily.
Ying Zheng asked Sima Jie to call over a few of the people he had recommended just now and take a look at them, and then arranged them to several counties and counties and gave them small official positions for training.
Two days later, the musical instrument made of alloy was completed.
The body of the instrument is the same size as an ordinary xylophone, with an image of a mythical beast engraved on the head of the instrument, and the strings are also high-quality products exclusively used in the palace.
The body of the piano is painted with five colorful patterns, symbolizing the five elements.
Overall, this alloy musical instrument is very gorgeous and exquisite, making it hard to put it down, but it is a little heavier in weight.
Ying Zheng quickly ordered someone to wrap it in silk cloth and put it in a special wooden box.
We can't let Nan Su see it, otherwise
Then I couldn't take it away.
After everything was sorted, Ying Zheng took 20,000 troops and headed north to Yinshan.
Because they had to catch up with Ji Fa, Ying Zheng ordered his team to speed up and regain the lost time.
Among the team of military doctors, Xu Fu seemed a little out of place.
Most of the other military doctors were older and had some experience, but he seemed a little immature.
However, Xu Fu was particularly excited to finally have the opportunity to travel with so many medical experts. He always looked for opportunities to ask others for medical advice.
Everyone saw that this young man was eager to learn and make progress, and that he was arranged by the King of Qin, so they were naturally polite to him and answered all questions.
The team took the route that Thorin and Qiang Yu had taken before, but this time, no one dared to stop them, even if Ying Zheng's men were not large in number.
On this day, we finally reached the south side of Yinshan Mountain, climbed over the mountains in front, and joined the army.
Ying Zheng sent someone to send a message to Zhao Jun and Yan Jun, saying that the King of Qin had arrived and not to accidentally hurt friendly troops.
After bypassing the Zhao army's defense line to the northwest, the Qin army came to the rear of Wang Jian's army.
Wang Jian came to greet him with Qiang Yu and Suolin, and invited Ying Zheng to the Chinese army's tent.
Ying Zheng asked: "How is the situation with the Xiongnu these days?"
Wang Jian smiled and said: "Haha, Weichen invited Touman Shanyu over for a drink and a heart-to-heart talk every three or two days. His hostility towards us has been basically eliminated. The Huns army also accepts our supplies every day. It can be said that they are full of fighting spirit." No, I’m just waiting for the king to come and let them go back.”
"Well done." Ying Zheng praised, "General Wang's control of the morale of the army can be said to have reached the extreme."
"Your Majesty has given you too much praise." Wang Jian cupped his hands and said, "Now Your Majesty will be repairing it for two days, and I will invite Touman here again."
"No." Ying Zheng said, "Invite him over now, and I will personally greet him in the front army."
Wang Jian responded and gave the order.
Ying Zheng made some arrangements, mounted the Black Fox, and led several generals to the front army position with great aura.
Not long after, a tall man appeared on the opposite side.
Touman Shanyu arrived.
Wang Jian introduced the two people to each other, and Ying Zheng politely let Tou Man into the tent.
Along the way, Touman's eyes almost never left Ying Zheng's mount.
Ying Zheng came out on the black fox this time just for the grand occasion, so he deliberately straightened his body to look more majestic.
After entering the big tent, the food and wine were ready and everyone was seated.
Touman took the lead and said: "I heard that King Qin took over the throne when he was young. When I saw him today, it turned out that a hero comes from a young age."
"Haha, each other." Ying Zheng said, "The throne of the widow is passed down from the ancestors, but it is not like Touman Shanyu who commanded the entire Xiongnu alliance at such a young age."
"Those are the foundations laid by my father." Touman said, "I just changed the name of the leader of this alliance to Shanyu."
After these days of contact with Wang Jian and others, Touman gradually learned the way of speaking in the Central Plains.
After being polite, Ying Zheng turned to the topic: "I heard that the Great Chanyu came here to resolve the dispute at the border. When I heard about it, I hurried over and made Touman Chanyu wait for a long time."
A wry smile flashed across Touman's lips, and he thought to himself: I can't wait without waiting. I really want to leave, but your people won't let me.
"There are indeed some disputes between our two countries, but they are not new in recent years." Touman said, "We Xiongnu live as nomads. We go wherever we can feed cattle and sheep, and we don't understand any rules, so this For hundreds of years, there has been constant friction with the Central Plains."
win
Zheng looked at Touman and said: "Having said that, that was before the Xiongnu formed a unified alliance. At that time, even if we defeated one tribe, another tribe would come to harass them, and no one could control them. . But now all the Xiongnu tribes respect the Great Chanyu. Should the rules from now on be changed?"
Touman has been discussing with Wang Jian these days, and has made a preliminary plan on how to turn the tribal alliance into a country.
"What King Qin said is right," Touman said. "If these tribes cannot be controlled, the Xiongnu will never be misunderstood as a whole country. The name of the Great Chanyu will only be a decoration."
Ying Zheng nodded and said: "So, the Xiongnu tribe near the border attacked our city of Great Qin without the consent of Great Chanyu. It is normal for us to teach them a lesson on behalf of Touman Chanyu. That's it. It's like if the border general under me goes to attack your tribe behind my back, I will definitely punish him instead of helping him bully your tribe."
Touman looked ashamed after hearing this.
Logically speaking, there is nothing wrong with what Ying Zheng said.
Ying Zheng continued: "But wars between countries are another matter. Among the seven heroes of the Central Plains, our Great Qin may have fought the most wars. Seizing other people's territory is common to all monarchs. Thoughts, but even if the city was captured, no one would harm the people."
"If the Great Chanyu wants to occupy the land in the Central Plains, this is a normal idea. I can open the road. You can repair it for two months, and then we can fight again on the grassland."
"And if your purpose is to loot property and massacre people, I, Ying Zheng, will fight the Huns to the end even if I use the strength of the whole country!"
Ying Zheng's words were sonorous, powerful and decisive.
Touman was suddenly stunned.
In his eyes, the kings of the Central Plains all lived in wine ponds and meat forests. Not only were they fat, but their thoughts were also occupied by wine and sex, and they had neither fighting spirit nor ambition, nor any great talent or strategy.
But the young King of Qin in front of him showed the appearance of an emperor in both his demeanor and his thinking, which made him feel a sense of sympathy.
Touman sighed and said: "Before, I allowed the tribes to invade the Central Plains, and I did have the idea of a large-scale attack. Later, after a fight, I was besieged here. At first, I was dissatisfied, thinking that I was careless and used it wrongly. Righteous King."
"But after talking to General Wang Jian later, I felt that the original robbery strategy was indeed not worth the gain and was not conducive to the development of national strength. Especially after meeting King Qin, I felt that becoming an opponent with a king like you would It’s an extremely unwise choice.”
Ying Zheng said with a smile: "As Da Chan Yu said, the lifestyles of our two countries are different, and we cannot say that our farming methods are necessarily correct. Your grasslands cannot grow food. But I, Da Qin, I am very willing to help you develop your national strength."
"Oh?" Touman asked, "How can I help?"
Ying Zheng said: "I must have heard that the Great Chanyu has heard that Jiayuguan has been owned by the Qin Dynasty, Loulan, Jingjue, and even the Dawan Kingdom are doing business with me, so why can't the Xiongnu do it? In this case, there is no need to fight. If we kill each other, we can get what each other needs fairly, so why not?"
"Really?" Touman confirmed, "Can the cloth, grain, and tools the Huns need really be exchanged for cattle and sheep?"
"Other countries dare not say that," Ying Zheng said, "but Great Qin will definitely do it."
Tou Man said with some excitement: "Okay, then I promise to King Qin that I will never offend the Qin Dynasty again in my lifetime, oh no, I will never offend the Central Plains again. The Huns are willing to be good friends with China."
Touman kept in mind that he was talking about his "lifetime", but this was enough for Ying Zheng.
