"Young Master, everything is as you expected. The First Prince of the Xiongnu, Mao Dun, has really stopped.”
"Not only that, but he has also proclaimed himself Chanyu and is currently reorganizing the other tribes. I estimate that he won't be able to set off for three to five days!”
Meng Tian looked at Fu Su excitedly.
These few days, while supervising the Xiongnu captives to build dikes upstream to block the water, Meng Tian also sent out many roaming cavalry to scout around and intercept the Xiongnu roaming cavalry.
Relying on the three divine weapons, Great Qin's Cavalrymen had changed to better Xiongnu horses, and their fighting power and mobility were now above that of the Xiongnu people. When small groups of Cavalrymen fought, the Xiongnu cavalry could not escape Great Qin's pursuit at all.
This also made Meng Tian confident that Mao Dun would not dare to act rashly. He would definitely wait for the second batch of reinforcements to arrive before setting off.
"No, this Mao Dun isn't an ordinary person. If we don't take the initiative to attack, he'll definitely doubt if we're really that strong.”
"Moreover, not everyone in the Xiongnu tribes listens to Mao Dun.”
"Many people know that Tou Man and Mao Dun are not on good terms on the surface. In such a situation, some people will definitely suspect that Mao Dun deliberately lured us here and joined forces to kill Tou Man.”
" They don't know that we have such magical equipment as a topographic map. They definitely won't believe that we can find the Xiongnu royal court without anyone noticing and succeed in one go.”
"If Mao Dun continues to drag this out, he won't be able to suppress these people!”
Fu Su muttered.
"Young Master's wisdom is unfathomable!"
Meng Tian sighed in admiration.
Fu Su's speculation of the human heart had reached the extreme. He had completely controlled the Xiongnu people's reactions.
Becoming Fu Su's enemy was too terrifying.
Fu Su smiled faintly.
Ever since his intelligence reached 90, Fu Su's spirit had improved a lot. His thoughts had also become more active and clear.
The power of the system allowed the growth of his Wisdom Points to be reflected in Fu Su's body.
This also made Fu Su look forward to what kind of heaven-defying functions the Strongest Crown Prince System would have after it was officially awakened.
Before that, he would first deal with the last of the Xiongnu's forces and gain a wave of reputation!
Oh right, Xianyang City should have received the news of his victory, right?
Fu Su looked into the distance and a confident smile appeared on his face.
After dealing with the external problems, they would start to deal with Great Qin's internal problems.
This move was to blow up all those sneaky people and give them a surprise.
......
In the imperial palace of Xianyang City, Ying Zheng and the important ministers of the imperial court were having a meeting, and all of them had solemn expressions on their faces.
After years of natural disasters, Great Qin's treasury, which was already not very rich, became even emptier.
And the huge consumption of the Great Wall, the roads, and other large-scale projects were even more pressing.
Left Prime Minister Li Si had just reported a shocking piece of news.
Because of the sudden rise of the Wei River, the national treasury was almost empty.
Many of the officials panicked.
If the national treasury was empty, wouldn't they have to give out their salaries?
Li Si, Zhao Gao, and the others who were rich could survive until the Wei River receded.
Their family did not have much surplus food. They were all relying on that little salary to survive.
The atmosphere in the court instantly became strange.
At this moment, the commander of the personal guards, Zhang Han, ran to the main hall with a scroll in his hands.
"Report!"
"Your Majesty, it's urgent to travel 800 miles in Shangjun!”
Ying Zheng's heart skipped a beat.
Shangjun was an important place at the border.
Eight hundred li was urgent. Could it be that something had happened?
Could it be that the savages of the grasslands were invading again and Meng Tian could not resist them?
This was a case of a leaky house meeting with a rainy night!
Ying Zheng could not help but have an ominous premonition.
Right, his eldest son seemed to be in Shangjun too!
"Read it quickly!"
Ying Zheng urged anxiously.
"Your son, Fusu, is in charge of the border. I have long heard of the brutal actions of the Xiongnu. Today, with General Meng Tian, I will lead 10,000 troops and am willing to behead my father on horseback."
Before he could finish his first sentence, the entire court exploded.
To tell the truth, when they heard that it was urgent to travel within 800 miles of Shangjun, many people, like Ying Zheng, subconsciously thought that it was the Xiongnu who had invaded on a large scale. Meng Tian was under too much pressure and had come to ask for help.
After all, the old Qin people had fought against the grassland tribes for hundreds of years. They had fought countless times.
Zhao Gao and the others were even secretly happy.
They knew very well that Fu Su was the supervisor of the army in Shangjun.
If anything happened to Shangjun, Fu Su would definitely be implicated.
At that time, Ying Zheng would definitely be completely disappointed in Fu Su, and Huhai would become the only candidate for the position of Crown Prince.
Also, that Meng Tian was not a good person. No matter how hard he tried to rope her in, she would not accept it. Perhaps she was on Fusu's side.
It would be best if they died together.
At the very least, there would be an accident during the construction of the Great Wall. Fu Su and Meng Tian would be equally guilty.
However, no one expected that this battle report was actually the battle report of Fu Su and Meng Tian taking the initiative to attack.
Even Ying Zheng was stunned.
When did his eldest son become so bold?
That's right, I stationed 300,000 troops at the border with the intention of destroying the Xiongnu.
But I can't attack rashly like you guys!
War was not a game!
On the other side, Zhao Gao and his trusted aides looked at each other, their eyes filled with surprise.
Although the result was a little unexpected, it seemed better.
Although the troops stationed at the border had a certain amount of power to act as they pleased, it was not a light crime to start a war with the Xiongnu without permission!
If the Xiongnu people were angered and started to attack, according to Great Qin's strict laws, even Young Master Fusu would be severely punished.
Great Qin implemented a system of military merits and titles, and this was the same for the imperial clan. Those who did not have military merits could not be listed in the genealogy and could not have titles.
Once he lost his power and lost his hope of becoming the Crown Prince, Zhao Gao had plenty of ways to kill a mere Fu Su.
The long-awaited thing was about to come true. Even Zhao Gao couldn't help but feel a little smug.
Zhao Gao's henchmen immediately jumped out.
"Your Majesty, I want Young Master Fusu to be punished for using weapons!”
The remonstrant doctor, Zhao You, jumped out.
He was a distant relative of Zhao Gao, and his official position was all promoted by Zhao Gao, so he naturally listened to his words.
"Your Majesty, I want to impeach Young Master Fu Su for advancing rashly!”
"I want to impeach General Meng Tian for betraying the emperor's grace and causing Young Master Fusu to commit the crime of injustice!”
Seeing that someone was taking the lead, many of Zhao Gao's or Huhai's henchmen jumped out one after another, creating a huge commotion.
This was an opportunity that Fu Su had foolishly given him. Who knew when he would miss it!
Today, he must let His Majesty capture Young Master Fusu and make Huhai the Crown Prince.
