The scholar beside Fu Su couldn't help but laugh when he saw this.
What the Confucian Sect saw in Young Master Fu Su was his benevolent heart.
Fu Su had always been against Qin Shi Huang's construction, which was a waste of manpower and money.
The Confucian Sect, which had been disappointed that Great Qin only respected Legalism, seemed to see hope in this Eldest Young Master.
…………
Late at night.
In the Qin army camp.
Countless torches lit up the entire camp as if it was daytime.
General Meng Tian was discussing with his generals.
"Hu ~"
The sound of hurried footsteps rang out, and the curtain was immediately pulled open. A scout rushed in and shouted.
"Report!"
"General Meng! The scouts reported that the Xiongnu at the northern border seemed to be acting strangely. The governor of the northern border requested for reinforcements in case the Xiongnu attacked!”
In the middle of the tent, Meng Tian clenched her fists, her face as black as the bottom of a pot.
"This bunch of bastards who only remember to eat but not to fight, they actually dare to go south!”
However, he also knew that now was not the time to get angry.
Taking a deep breath, Meng Tian said seriously,""Pass on my orders. Immediately gather thirty thousand soldiers and set off at night to the Northern Lands to reinforce them!”
"There's more!"
"Send someone to tell Young Master Fusu to speed up the construction of the Great Wall and connect the north with Yanmen and other counties before October.”
"Before that, if we can't finish it in time, the Xiongnu will definitely attack when the winter snow falls on the grasslands.”
However, when he heard this, an officer in the tent turned pale. He stammered for a long time before he braced himself and said,
"General Meng, Young Master Fusu has given the order again today to have all the commoners rest on the spot, including the supply troops 300 miles away. I'm afraid they won't be able to make it here tonight.”
"With this delay, I'm afraid the construction will be delayed by several days. In addition to the work that had been delayed a few days ago, it would probably be difficult to complete the project before October.”
The one who spoke was the officer who supervised the work with Fu Su during the day.
He finished the entire sentence in fear, afraid that Meng Tian would explode and kill him.
He didn't have a prominent identity like Young Master Fu Su.
The construction of the Great Wall was a national policy set by the First Emperor himself, and there was no room for delay!
A major event like the delay in construction was nothing to Fu Su.
However, if it was an ordinary officer of Great Qin, it would be a serious crime!
Everyone said that Fu Su was a rare and virtuous young master, but in his eyes, it was simply a hypocrite!
Fu Su only saw the suffering of the commoners and ignored the military orders that Great Qin's army had.
The commoners were grateful to him.
But what about Great Qin's soldiers at the border?
Should he bear the military law for Fu Su's so-called leniency?
Shouldn't a true benevolent ruler treat everyone equally?
As expected.
After hearing this explanation, Meng Tian flew into a rage.
"Bastard!"
"The Great Qin Empire has mobilized hundreds of thousands of people to build the Great Wall from the Northern Lands to Yanmen Prefecture. It's only about 200 li, but it can't be completed by ten months!”
Meng Tian's face was extremely ugly as she said angrily,""The military situation is like fire. Why are you so negligent?”
" I'm innocent. Ever since I took up my post, I've been trembling with fear and didn't dare to slack off at all. It's just that…"
"You still dare to quibble!"
"He's clearly neglecting his duty!"
Meng Tian's eyes were filled with killing intent. She said sternly," Left and right, drag this person out and behead him!”
Immediately, two bodyguards rushed over and pressed the officer to the ground.
The officer said anxiously," I have no choice. Young Master Fusu is the supervisor of the army. He insists on doing this. I can only do as he says."
Meng Tian waved her hand coldly, and her bodyguards carried the officer out.
"General Meng, you should know that ever since Young Master Fusu became the supervisor of the army, he would order the commoners to rest every few days.”
"Young Master Fu Su is the one who insisted on delaying the construction period!”
"General Meng only punished me, I am not convinced!!~~”
The officer's shouts gradually faded away until a shrill scream rang out. Soon, everything returned to silence.
Meng Tian's gaze swept across the tent. None of the generals present dared to look her in the eye.
Everyone couldn't help but mourn for the innocent officer.
Anyone with discerning eyes could see that this matter actually had little to do with him.
However, since it concerned Young Master Fusu, he could only let him bear this crime.
Even though Meng Tian was the commander of the three armies, she had no right to punish Young Master Fusu.
In all of Great Qin, only the First Emperor had the right to do so.
Meng Tian's expression was ugly, but she sighed silently in her heart.
When he thought of Fu Su's personality, even he could not help but feel helpless.
Ordinary imperial clan disciples, which one of them didn't view human lives as grass and the commoners as dirt?
However, Young Master Fu Su's personality was the complete opposite.
It was just a pity.
Such a temper would only ruin the big picture.
Meng Tian rubbed her forehead tiredly, feeling a slight pain in her head.
"Men, invite Young Master Fusu over. Tell him that I have something to discuss with him.”
At this moment, a general stepped forward and said softly.
"General Meng, the palace has sent an edict to summon Young Master Fusu back to Xianyang.
"A few hours ago, he set off on his journey.”
Meng Tian was stunned. After a while, she could not help but laugh bitterly.
"No wonder…"
"Leaving behind such a mess before leaving, it's really…giving me a headache!~”
