"This…Your Majesty, I have a memorial. General Meng Tian has brought his troops back to Xianyang, and the Xiongnu already know about it. They are gathering their forces and preparing to invade our Great Qin.”
Li Si glanced at Xiao Han and turned to report to Qin Shihuang.
As expected of an old fox, he was prepared. He took out a bamboo slip from his sleeve and handed it over.
Most people would submit the bamboo slips in advance for Qin Shihuang to read. Unless it was an urgent official document, they would not report it in front of the court.
In fact, these so-called preparations for an invasion were half-truths. How could the army not assemble?
This was not the first time he had used such a method to send Meng Tian away to supervise the Great Wall so that he could wield power in the imperial court.
He had originally planned to use this move to send Meng Tian away today, so that he could return to the north to guard the Great Wall and stay away from the royal court.
He did not expect to use it on Xiao Han instead of Meng Tian.
"Sigh! Your Majesty, I will lead my troops back to the north to guard.”
In the Imperial Court, the silent Great General Meng Tian's face twitched when she heard Li Si report that the Xiongnu army was gathering to invade Great Qin.
He was an upright person and had suffered such losses many times.
For military matters, even if it was just in case, if it really happened, it would be 10,000.
No one dared to let their guard down. Otherwise, if the Xiongnu really entered the country, it would be a disaster.
Of course, compared to the infighting in the Imperial Court, he was more willing to command the 300,000 strong Meng family army to guard the north.
Hence, every time he knew that Li Si was sending him away on purpose, there was nothing he could do.
Now that Li Si wanted to use this as an excuse, he thought that he was going to be sent out of Xianyang again. He was really tired of the scheming in the court, so he spoke up.
"Yes! We can't afford to lose anything in the north. Since that's the case…"
Qin Shihuang heard that the Xiongnu in the north had some strange movements and that Meng Tian had requested to leave. He knew Meng Tian's nature and was tired of the scheming of the court. He was about to agree.
At that moment, Li Si said,""Your Majesty, this is inappropriate!"
"What's wrong?"
Qin Shihuang was a little surprised. What was wrong with Li Si today? Usually, he would definitely make Meng Tian leave with such a memorial.
However, today, he actually said that it was inappropriate for Meng Tian to leave. This was really rare.
Even Meng Tian was stunned, not understanding what Li Si was up to.
"Your Majesty, although the order to move the powerful has been gradually implemented, with so many powerful people in Xianyang, it is time for a general like Meng Tian to guard the country. Therefore, Meng Tian must not leave! Your Majesty."
Li Si saw Qin Shihuang's confusion and hurriedly stepped forward to explain.
"If that's the case, what should we do?"
Qin Shi Huang was a little troubled. Meng Tian had taken away the 100,000 troops stationed in the north. If the Xiongnu really wanted to invade, he would not be at ease without a general to guard them.
Moreover, the Xiongnu had been obstructing the construction of the Great Wall in many ways. The north had been harassed every few days and invaded every month.
If they really crossed the Great Wall, it would be terrible.
Xiao Han watched Li Si's performance as he stood in the royal court. He knew what Li Si was going to say the moment he opened his mouth.
As expected, Li Si suddenly turned to Xiao Han and said,""I heard that Mister Xiao is very talented.
Moreover, his martial arts were peerless and unparalleled in the world, and that brilliant plan to use the Hu to subdue the Hu was also proposed by Mr. Xiao.
Presumably, no one knows this plan better than him. If Mister Xiao can attack the Xiongnu in the north this time, the matter of conferring the title of Imperial Censor will naturally come to fruition, Your Majesty.”
"Letting Minister Xiao go north, this…Minister Xiao, what do you think?”
Qin Shi Huang was stunned. He did not expect Li Si to suggest Xiao Han lead the army north.
He knew that Xiao Han had excellent medical skills, superb swordsmanship, and extraordinary strategies, but he didn't know about his ability to lead troops.
After all, it was already very difficult for a person to make achievements in so many fields. Xiao Han had never led an army to war.
In the past, Zhao Kuo was an armchair strategist, but he was wiped out by his subordinate Baiqi in the battle of Changping.
He had to be cautious about this matter, so he turned to Xiao Han, wanting to see what Xiao Han had to say.
Ding! [Main storyline triggered: Attack the Xiongnu in the North!]
The option has been generated!
[Option 1: Head to the north and defeat the Xiongnu, gain control of Great Qin's army, and obtain the War God title. The morale of your soldiers will increase by 100%!] Once tamed, the loyalty would never change.
[Option 2: Stay in Xianyang, fight against Li Si, take charge of the royal court, obtain the title of Ghost Official, increase eloquence by 100%, add a confusing effect to speech, increase the credibility of speech.]
As the system notification sounded, Xiao Han directly triggered the main storyline.
He had two choices. If he chose to attack the Xiongnu in the north, it would be an opportunity to control the military.
[The System provides the title of War God, increasing the morale of the soldiers under him. The loyalty of the soldiers under him will never change.]
If he stayed in Xianyang, he would be competing with Li Si in the royal court. The system had given him a title, and his eloquence had improved. His words had a confusing effect and were convincing. To a psychology professional like him, it was like adding wings to a tiger.
It could be said that no matter which one he chose, the reward would not be a loss.
"Humph! Just choose! Let's see what you can do!"
Li Si looked at Xiao Han smugly.
His plan didn't seem like much at first, but it had a hidden trick, killing two birds with one stone.
If Xiao Han wasn't willing to go to the north, then he would be given the title of Imperial Censor after all the policies had been implemented.
The strategy of using Hu to subdue Hu was not fully implemented, so he used this to disgust Xiao Han and make him unable to stand in the imperial court.
If Xiao Han went to the north, it would be even more interesting. The Meng Army of Great Qin was the strongest, and many people had tried to get their hands on the Meng Army, but all of them had failed.
It could be said that the Meng family army had already formed the soul of the army and only recognized the Meng family as generals.
Unless Xiao Han could turn himself into a member of the Meng Family, it would be impossible for him to subdue the Meng Army.
He didn't believe that Xiao Han could reincarnate into the Meng Family again. If that happened, he would have to return with a broken feather. If he made use of this, Xiao Han could forget about getting the position of Imperial Censor.
"Haha!"
Xiao Han sneered in response to Li Si's smugness.
This Li Si was indeed someone who could become the Prime Minister. This plan was really vicious!
If an ordinary person was schemed against by him, they would never be able to turn the tables.
However, I…Hehe, wasn't it just to subdue the Meng Army? I only have the identity of Meng Yi from the Meng family.
It was impossible to tame the Meng Army, but it was not a problem for him. The Meng Army was basically a gift to him.
"Your Majesty, I'm not talented. I'm willing to lead the army north, defeat the Xiongnu, capture slaves, and contribute to Your Majesty's great project.”
Xiao Han thought through everything and chose one without hesitation.
To him, so what if his status in the imperial court was high?
When Qin Shihuang used him, he was naturally easy to talk to. If he was unhappy, he could kill him with a single sentence.
Only with military power in hand could one truly control life.
