Ying Zheng looked at Meng Fan with a strange expression. He thought to himself," This kid is really creative."
Do you think I don't know how to value talents?
" According to my plan, after I present this saddle and stirrups to His Majesty, I'll suggest that His Majesty send troops to the north. With this saddle and stirrups, our Great Qin cavalry will definitely be able to crush the Hu cavalry." Meng Fan was excited." At that time, the northern grasslands will also be part of our Qin territory!"”
"Young friend, why do you want to use troops against the Hu?”Ying Zheng was a little confused." As far as I know, the Yue Clan, Xiongnu, and Donghu in the north have conflicts with each other. And, the Great Qin Empire is currently using troops against the Bai Yue. Wouldn't it be better to let them fight among themselves?”
Meng Fan chuckled." Old Zhao, you're short-sighted."?”
Ying Zheng was speechless.
I actually followed in Old General Wang's footsteps and was looked down upon by this kid…
"What do you mean?" Ying Zheng asked helplessly.
Although Meng Fan looked down on him, he had to admit that this kid had some unique insights.
There must be a reason for him to say that he wanted to use troops against the north.
Meng Fan said," As far as I know, there is a leader among the Xiongnu tribes called Tou Man. This Tou Man is about to unify all the Xiongnu tribes."”
"En, this one has also heard of that Man.”Ying Zheng nodded.
His Ferghana Horse was given to him by this Man.
"Old Zhao, since you know this person, you must also know that Touman has extraordinary abilities. The Xiongnu tribes will basically submit to him. It won't be long before Touman will completely unify the Xiongnu.”Meng Fan said confidently.
"So what? To the west and east of the Xiongnu were the Yue clan and Donghu.”
In Ying Zheng's opinion, even if Touman unified all the tribes of Xiongnu and became the Chanyu, he would still have to face the enemies on both sides.
Meng Fan chuckled." What if he tries to please the Yue family and Donghu like he did with the Great Qin?"”
Ying Zheng was stunned.
" Then, we'll take the opportunity to go south and invade the northern territory of Great Qin." Meng Fan continued," More than half of Great Qin's forces have already gone south to deal with the Bai Yue. If that Toman comes south now, what should we do?"”
"This…" After hearing Meng Fan's analysis, Ying Zheng didn't know how to respond.
Wang Jian frowned and said," It can't be. The conflict between the Xiongnu, Donghu, and Yue family is very big. Does that Toman have the ability to resolve the hatred between the three families?”
" There are no absolute enemies, only eternal interests," Meng Fan said seriously." Don't forget, when the Great Qin Empire was preparing to go east, we were attacked by the allied forces of the five countries!”
"If the five countries can put aside their hatred and form an alliance, why can't the northern nomads?”
Hearing Meng Fan's words, Wang Jian fell silent.
If it was really as he had analyzed…The consequences would be serious!
Right now, Great Qin's main focus was on the Yue in the south, and it did not have many troops stationed in the north.
Seeing the two remain silent, Meng Fan smiled.""So in my opinion, rather than passively waiting for the Xiongnu to invade, it's better to take the initiative to attack. Those who are not of our race will definitely have different intentions! Would you believe that the Hu had no interest in the Central Plains?”
Ying Zheng's expression finally turned solemn.
That's right, after Touman unified the Xiongnu, it was impossible for him not to covet the land of the Central Plains!
"If everything had gone smoothly, I would have found an opportunity to explain this matter to His Majesty after I became an official. If it weren't for you and Old Wang, the sweet potatoes on that mu of land would have all ripened not long ago. At that time, it would naturally attract His Majesty's attention. No matter what, I would have been granted an official and half a noble.”Thinking about how Zhao's horse had ruined half of his sweet potatoes, Meng Fan was furious.
Glaring fiercely at Ying Zheng, Meng Fan continued,"" Old Zhao, I'll say this first. When the sweet potatoes are ripe, if they really reach the yield I promised, you can't go back on your word. Plus a month's worth of food and accommodation. I've already paid for it. If you don't give it to me, don't blame me for turning hostile!"”
Ying Zheng was speechless.
"Didn't I promise you that I would ask my good friend in Xianyang to help you become an official after the agreement was completed?”Ying Zheng said helplessly.
Why does this kid keep remembering that I owe him money every day?
Meng Fan snorted." That's good!"”
" Alright, Old Wang, you can continue to teach them." After receiving Ying Zheng's affirmation, Meng Fan turned to Wang Jian." I've only made one set of saddles and stirrups. You can make do with one horse for now. I'll make another set later."”
After saying that, he returned to his own territory and continued to teach the children who were learning the laws of Qin.
Soon, it was lunchtime.
After sending the children away, the three of them returned to their rooms to rest after lunch.
After eating the diet for so many days, Ying Zheng had gradually gotten used to it.
Although the fruits and vegetables tasted bland, he felt healthier and healthier. His weight was also gradually decreasing, and his originally fat belly was also slowly shrinking.
Feeling the changes in his body, even though his heart was filled with complaints, Ying Zheng still persevered.
"Your Majesty, why don't we stop pretending and directly reveal our identities?”Wang Jian, who had closed the door, suggested to Ying Zheng impatiently.
