Li Xin, who was drunk and hazy, returned to his room with a wine bottle in hand, and went straight to Ge You to lie down.
Although the Longxi Li family has a good status and prestige in Longxi County, none of the Longxi Li family members do not want to return to Guanzhong.
Because the current Guanzhong is the core area of Da Qin and an important base for the development of Da Qin.
The newspapers of the past year all reveal the prosperity of Guanzhong.
However, the Li clan members could only watch helplessly.
Because the Marquis of Longxi, who they are most proud of and who best represents them, has never been able to get out of the shadow of attacking Chu, and dare not return to Guanzhong, nor dare to face the elders of Guanzhong.
"Gululu"
Li Xin picked up the wine bottle and poured it into his mouth. He didn't know how much he drank. Anyway, he threw the wine bottle on the ground before he swallowed a few mouthfuls.
When I wanted to get the wine again, I found that this wine was only available at Wang Ben's place. I couldn't help but irritatedly cursed: "Damn it! I can't even enjoy the wine. Come on! Go get the wine for me!"
At this time, a young general rushed in and said in a panic: "Father, something bad is going on. Marquis Tongwu is beating drums to gather the generals. There seems to be a war!"
The speaker was Li Xin's second son, named Li Xiang, who had just joined the army and mainly ran errands for Li Xin.
"War? What war? Who called?"
Li Xin dispelled a little bit of his drunkenness and muttered a question, but he didn't take it to heart.
After all, with Wang Ben here, it's not his turn to worry.
But I heard Li Xiang say anxiously again: "Father, this gathering of generals is different from the past. You should go and have a look. If the military plane is delayed, it will be dealt with according to military law!"
Li Xin curled his lips and did not take Li Xiang's words to heart, but as the Longxi Marquis of Great Qin, although Li Xin was a little decadent, he would not forget his essential work.
I saw him shaking his head, then got up and came outside the house.
By the time he approached the combat headquarters, Li Xin's drunkenness had been dissipated and he was able to think clearly.
He is the highest military officer in Longxi County. Although he is not as good as Wang Ben in terms of title, Wang Ben is only his deputy. Wang Ben even drank with him before. If there is a war, Wang Ben cannot know it faster than him.
Therefore, Wang Ben's gathering of generals should have happened after he left Wang Ben's room.
At that time, Wang Ben seemed to have received a letter from Wang Li.
Is there an emergency military situation in Jiuyuan?
Thinking of this possibility, Li Xin had completely sobered up from the drunkenness, and immediately said to Li Xiang beside him: "Send an order to the entire army to prepare quickly and stand by where you are!"
"promise."
Li Xiang retreated as promised.
Soon, Li Xin arrived at the Longxi Combat Command with a blush on his face.
In the center of the combat headquarters is Longxi County and the sand table map outside the Longxi Great Wall.
At this moment, most of the generals had gathered on both sides of the sand table, listening to Wang Ben's strategic analysis.
The moment Li Xin approached, he asked without any nonsense, "General Wang, what happened in Jiuyuan?"
"Um?"
Wang Ben, who was analyzing the strategic deployment with the generals, was slightly stunned and asked with some confusion: "Why are you here?"
"I am the commander-in-chief of the Longxi Army. There is a war, why can't I come?"
Li Xin was angered by Wang Ben's words and couldn't help but reply angrily.
"Well"
Wang Ben's lips twitched in embarrassment, he looked around at the generals and said with a smile: "General Li misunderstood, it's not that something big happened in Jiuyuan, or there's a war in Longxi, but I think we can't just passively defend." , we should take the initiative to attack the Dayue clan and show off the power of our Qin Kingdom!"
"????"
A question mark slowly appeared on Li Xin's forehead, and he didn't seem to respond.
But Weng Zhong laughed and said, "General Li, Marquis Tongwu said he had a bold idea and wanted to discuss it with us. Anyway, we had nothing to do, so we all came here. As you know, we haven't been here for several months." It’s a war, it’s so hard.”
Look, is this human language?
Are you using war to amuse yourself emotionally?
No one will die in a war? !
When Li Xin heard Weng Zhong's words, he almost turned away in anger, but he still suppressed the anger in his heart, glared at Wang Bi, and said in a deep voice: "Marquis Tongwu, I want a precise explanation!"
"What's that? Didn't General Weng Zhong say it just now? We've been idle for a few months, it's time to do something serious!"
"That's right! Those Da Yuezhi people are so abominable. We can't give up fighting them just because they don't attack us. We must retaliate with tooth for tooth and blood for blood!"
"That's right, we must fight tooth for tooth and blood for blood!"
"Fuck you!"
As Wang Ben finished his words, all the generals echoed, expressing their hatred for the foreigners.
However, Li Xin did not pay attention to the generals' agreement. Instead, his attention was attracted by the family letter in Wang Ben's hand.
Wang Ben, who was clearly having a good time with me just now, and who was clearly thinking about taking him back to Xianyang just now, why was he so motivated all of a sudden?
He knew that Wang Ben was famous for being a sneaky person, and now His Majesty was not in a hurry to expand the territory. He was also in a semi-reclusive state. He suddenly said that he wanted to fight foreigners. He must be hiding something from him!
After pondering for a moment, Li Xin showed a hint of undetectable bitterness at the corner of his mouth.
As a talented general, Li's arrogance has never been wiped out.
Suffering such a big setback during his peak period was indeed a big blow to Li Xin.
But it had been many years, and he knew it was time to let go.
Therefore, facing Wang Ben's concealment, Li Xin suddenly raised his head and laughed: "Hahaha, tooth for tooth, blood for blood, then let's follow the words of Marquis Tong Wu, dispatch troops and generals, and go out to clear out the barbarians!"
"color!"
All the generals cheered in unison.
Wang Ben took a deep look at Li Xin, couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, and at the same time squeezed the family letter in his hand.
Brat!
Dad, I will trust you this time. If you dare to lie to me, I promise to hang you up and beat you!
at the same time.
On the Great Wall of Jiuyuan County, Wang Li sneezed for no reason, then rubbed his nose, looked at Fusu on the side, and said: "Eldest Young Master, are you really not going to take care of Xianyang's affairs?"
"My heart already belongs to this grassland. I want this northern world to belong to me, Da Qin, from now on!" Fusu said majestically, looking at the blue sky and white clouds outside the Great Wall, facing the cool breeze blowing from the grassland.
Wang Li sighed helplessly, shook his head and said, "Although I don't know exactly what happened in Xianyang yet, the situation Mond told me is believed to be related to the position of the prince;
Since ancient times, the battle for the crown prince has been a battle over the fate of the country. If there is a slight mistake, the country will be destroyed and the family will be destroyed."
After saying this, he paused, looked at Fusu again, and said, "Aren't you worried that the position of prince will fall into the hands of incompetent people, leading to the collapse of the empire?"
"When my father came to Jiuyuan, his health had improved greatly. I don't believe that Brother Hao will be harmful to my father, so the matter about my father is probably just a rumor!"
Fusu smiled and shook his head: "And the prince is not the king of a country, and his influence on the empire is not as serious as you think."
"What's more, as long as my father is here, the empire will not collapse."
"But."
Wang Li cautiously added: "In case your Majesty"
"What if? What if? It's not feasible!"
Fusu had a rare angry look on his face.
Wang Li curled his lips helplessly and changed the subject: "If your Majesty's new king is not Young Master Hao, what will happen to the eldest Young Master?"
"this"
Fusu hesitated for a moment and said solemnly: "Even if I am not Brother Hao, I will try my best to assist the new king and never let the empire collapse!"
"Confused!"
Wang Li said in confusion: "The eldest son is so confused!"
"Um?"
Fusu was stunned and looked at Wang Li with some confusion: "What does General Wang mean by this?"
"Young Master Hao often says that I am not smart enough. I think the eldest master's brain is not as good as mine. Haven't you ever thought about what you would do if the new king doesn't tolerate you? What if he wants to kill you?"
"How can this be!"
Fusu said with some surprise: "We are brothers, how can we kill each other? Besides, my father has approved everything I have done, how can I raise an army against the prime minister?!"
"Why!"
Wang Li sighed, not knowing what to say.
At this time, a messenger came running towards this side, cupped his hands and said: "Elder Master Qi, General Meng summoned you and General Wang to go to the shogunate. It seems that there is an imperial edict from His Majesty!"
"Um?"
Wang Li and Fu Su looked at each other, and the latter immediately handed over his hand; "Then prepare the carriage and horses, and we will go back."
"You're welcome, eldest son!"
The messenger smiled slightly, and was very convinced by this polite eldest son, and quickly went down to prepare the carriage and horses.
After about two hours, the sky gradually became a little dark.
Fusu and Wang Licai returned to the shogunate in a carriage.
At this time, Meng Tian was sitting alone in the shogunate's yamen, reading the newspapers that had recently come from Xianyang.
From the news in the newspapers, it is not difficult to see that Xianyang is changing and thriving with each passing day.
The future of the empire is bright.
"General!"
Wang Li and Fusu came to the shogunate office and greeted Meng Tian immediately.
Meng Tian was stunned for a moment, then closed the newspaper, stood up and said with a smile:
"How is the situation outside the Great Wall? Are there any changes on the Xiongnu side? And how is the defense deployment in Jiuyuan? Is there anything that needs to be added?"
"Hehehe, the general has done his duty well, Fusu admires him!" Fusu smiled and saluted Mengtian.
Meng Tian also smiled and nodded, raised his hand to signal them to sit down, and called for someone to arrange dinner for them.
Seeing the food that was constantly being delivered and still steaming, Fusu and Wang Li looked at each other and felt moved in their hearts. Then Fusu said curiously: "Didn't the messenger say that my father has come to Jiuyuan with an imperial edict?" Where is the envoy who announced the decree?"
Hearing this, Meng Tian, who had been smiling just now, suddenly stopped smiling and said coldly: "I sent him to the inn!"
"ah?"
Fusu was startled and said somewhat puzzledly: "May I ask, General, what is the purpose of this move?"
"My eldest son, this special envoy has arrived a bit strangely, and I am deeply worried!" Meng Tian sighed.
"this"
Fusu hesitated for a moment, then asked: "What do you mean it's a bit strange?"
"Young Master should know that after your Majesty came to Jiuyuan, he did not follow the Eastern Patrol Team back to Xianyang, but went to the South China Sea in a light vehicle.
Some time ago, a lot of news came from the South China Sea, including Zhao Tuo and Ren Xiao's rebellion, His Majesty being imprisoned by Young Master Hao, and many other incredible news;
Although most of the old man and the young master don’t believe it, just recently, another news came that Li Si formed a temporary cabinet in Xianyang and removed Wang Wan from supervising the country. Although this move was all because of Wang Wan’s illegal behavior, I always feel that Xianyang will not be peaceful recently;
What is even more strange is that His Majesty did not take any action on this matter;
Therefore, I have some doubts about the authenticity of this edict! "
"Then, in the general's opinion, has something really happened to my father?"
A thin layer of sweat broke out on Fusu's forehead. He vaguely remembered the previous conversation with Wang Li, and couldn't help but glance at Wang Li who was silent at the side.
However, Wang Li acted as if he didn't hear anything. He only focused on the delicious food in front of him, chewing slowly without making any noise.
But I heard Meng Tian say in a deep voice: "Although I can't tell whether something has happened to your majesty, I am still worried that your majesty may be in trouble with Jiang Xiaobai."
"That's unreasonable!"
Fusu suddenly stood up with a slap on the table and said angrily: "My father is not Duke Huan of Qi! No!"
"I hope your Majesty is not."
Faced with Fusu's sudden rage, Meng Tian seemed very calm, and his calmness was a bit terrifying.
"In the general's opinion, what should we do?"
Fusu calmed down and bowed apologetically.
Meng Tian turned to look at Wang Li, who was silent, and said thoughtfully: "I have made a plan with Wang Li, but the eldest son has the final say!"
"Um?"
Fusu was stunned and couldn't help but cast his eyes on Wang Li again.
It turned out that the words Wang Li said to him on the Great Wall were not random words, but a premeditated temptation.
Did he and the general already know something that he didn't know?
It turns out that everything I have done has been approved by my father, but not by the general...
Thinking of this, Fusu's original confident look suddenly disappeared, and the familiar frustration and depression on Mengtian's face reappeared, and he sat slumped in front of the case and stopped talking.
"Snapped!"
Meng Tian came over, grabbed the case, and said seriously: "Eldest son, the country's misfortune and good fortune are definitely in front of you, please cheer up!"
"this"
After hearing this, Fusu reacted for a moment, immediately cheered up, cupped his hands towards Meng Tian and said: "General, wait a moment!"
After saying that, without saying a word, he stood up and rushed out the door.
After about a moment, he walked in again with wet hair and a wide silk robe, without the dejected look he had just before.
"Dare you ask the general for advice!"
Fusu bowed deeply to Meng Tian and sat back in his seat solemnly.
Meng Tian glanced at him without saying anything. He turned to look at Wang Li, raised his hand and said, "Wang Li, come and tell me!"
"Eldest Young Master, please look!"
When Wang Li heard this, he immediately took out a map from his arms, came to Fusu's desk, unfolded it and said: "This is the distribution map of the Xiongnu royal court in the north."
"The Hun Royal Court?"
Fusu was surprised: "Why do you have the distribution map of the Xiongnu royal court?!"
You know, the Xiongnu Royal Court is the core secret of the Xiongnu, and generally few people know about it.
Moreover, the royal courts of the Huns were not always in the same place. They would constantly change with seasonal changes, strategic intentions, etc.
This is also the reason why the Huns have existed for hundreds of years and are difficult to destroy.
After all, if you can't even take over your old nest, how can you destroy others?
