General Qin

The Southern Expedition was abandoned, and the Northern Expedition was put on the work schedule of the Qin Empire.

Qin Shihuang was the kind of person who said he would do it, and he would do it right away.

Since he has set the national policy of attacking the Xiongnu in the north and conquering the homeland of Zhu Xia, he will choose the coach on the spot.

At this point, there is no suspense.

No matter whether it is a civil servant or a general, they all unanimously recommended the Shaofu Zhao Tuo.

Zhao Tuo was a famous general of the Qin State. He had defeated the Hun army in Daidi and had experience in fighting Hu.

The Qin army wants to attack the Xiongnu in the north, who else is there?

Not to mention that Zhao Shaofu just spent a lot of effort to persuade the emperor to give up the Southern Expedition and choose the Northern Expedition, which made it clear that he was determined to win the position of coach.

This is the battle of Zhao Tuo's feudal lord, who dares to fight with him?

"I just wanted to stop the Southern Expedition, but I didn't expect that I would become the head coach of the Northern Expedition. It seems that Meng Tian in this time and space has a high probability of not being able to get the title of China's number one warrior."

Zhao Tuo secretly smiled bitterly.

Under everyone's expectations, as an advocate of the Northern Expedition Hu people, he naturally couldn't refuse, and was appointed as the Northern Expedition coach on the spot.

The first emperor gave Zhao Tuo time to hand over a strategy for the Northern Expedition later.

Zhao Tuo agreed on the spot.

After the court was over, the ministers greeted Zhao Tuo with smiles from the corners of their eyes.

"The Shaofu's northern expedition strategy is much better than going to the southern woods to fight the Yue people. When the time comes, I, the young junior of the Xin family, will entrust it to the Shaofu."

Xin Wu, a veteran with a good relationship, said with a smile.

It is hoped that when Zhao Tuo attacked the Hu people, he would give the young generals of the Xin family some opportunities to make meritorious deeds.

Before leaving the palace, Wang Ben also nodded to Zhao Tuo: "Young Mansion's words are very good. The barbarians in the north are the confidants of my Great Qin. Only when the northern barbarians are completely destroyed can we go south to conquer the country."

Some people agree with Zhao Tuo's opinion, but naturally some people feel uncomfortable.

For example, Tu Sui, who is very likely to become the commander-in-chief of the 500,000 Qin army.

The eldest brother of Zhao Tuo walked out with a dark face after the court was over.

Zhao Tuo wanted to catch up and explain, but Tu Sui took a long stride and walked with the wind.

He got in the car and went back to the mansion directly after leaving the palace gate, without even giving Zhao Tuo a chance to explain.

"Brother Tu, Brother Tu, I saved your life."

Zhao Tuo secretly sighed, Tu Sui led an army of 500,000 troops to the south, he should have died in Yue, but now he was mixed with Zhao Tuo, although he couldn't do anything, but he managed to save his life.

It's just that what happened in the court earlier caused Tu Sui to misunderstand that Zhao Tuo was trying to win the title of Marquis, so he deliberately didn't show affection and proposed the Northern Expedition, which ruined Tu Sui's dream of being the commander of an army of 500,000 troops.

Anyone should be angry about this matter.

"Brother Tu is a heroic person. After two days, the weather will clear up. I will visit again and explain it carefully."

Zhao Tuo felt that the problem was not serious, Tu Sui was not the kind of narrow-minded person.

Relying on his quick wit, Zhao Tuo was actually a little proud of turning around the matter of the 500,000 army marching south to Baiyue.

It's just that this pride, when he returned to the mansion, suddenly disappeared, which became an annoyance.

Zhao Tuo never expected that the biggest opposition to his Northern Expedition to the Huns was not the First Emperor, nor other ministers.

It was the pretty lady in his family.

"Zhao Tuo!"

"I'm pregnant with your child, and you want to leave us to go to war!"

"You are so cruel!"

"Woo..."

this night.

The maids and servants in the eldest princess's mansion are all trembling.

Their mistress, was very angry.

...

On the second day, Zhao Tuo, who hadn't slept all night, went to the Shaofu with dark circles under his eyes.

There haven't been any new major projects recently, and the few young ministers under him are enough to handle daily government affairs.

So Zhao Tuo just walked around the official office, and after handing over the work, he returned home amidst the respectful voices of many subordinates.

He also has a visitor today.

The young master Fusu sent a greeting card after hearing about what happened at the court meeting yesterday afternoon.

Zhao Tuo's eldest brother-in-law is handsome, polite and courteous in speech and deeds, and looks like a handsome young man.

It's just that between his brows, there seems to be a bit of worry.

Fusu's first words after taking his seat in the mansion made Zhao Tuo's eyelids twitch.

"Fusu once heard that there is a saying in the art of war that no matter how big a country is, warlike ones will surely perish."

Zhao Tuo looked at the emperor's eldest son quoting the words in "Sima Fa" in front of him, and guessed the other party's intention.

Sure enough, Fusu continued to talk eloquently: "Mr. Zhao taught Fusu before that he must recognize his own identity and position, and consider the interests of Great Qin when speaking and doing things. Fusu deeply felt that, day and night he was the son of Qin For the sake of responsibility, consider the interests of the country wholeheartedly."

"However, according to what Fusu saw, it has been less than a year since the Great Qin unified the world. The head of Guizhou in the distance has not gathered, and the survivors of the princes have not yet returned. Although Zhao Jun suggested that the father and the emperor expand the recruitment of students from the school and train more Qin officials, but The time is still short, and the newly conquered Qichu and other places still lack officials and have not been fully controlled, so there are inevitably hidden dangers."

"Mr. Zhao proposed to move the nobles of the six countries to Guanzhong to eliminate the scourge of the restoration of the six countries. Fusu thinks it is very good, and it can help us Qin to control the land of the princes. But this kind of migration is a big deal, and hundreds of thousands of people are involved at every turn. Traveling thousands of miles, it took a lot of money along the way.”

"In addition, all counties and counties in the world mobilized criminals and servants to build roads, and the Guanzhong area has imperial mausoleums and palaces of the six kingdoms. It will inevitably consume too much people's strength and make the head of Guizhou exhausted."

Speaking of this, Fusu took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Under such circumstances, is it a little too anxious for us, the Qin State, to raise an army to attack the northern barbarians again?"

it is as expected.

Zhao Tuo said: "The Hu people in the north often fight with Zhu Xia, and they have been hating each other for thousands of years. Do you know, my lord?"

Fusu nodded and said: "Fusu knows that the Northern Xiongnu and other barbarians have the heart of tigers and wolves, and they always have the intention of invading our Central Plains."

"It's just that I think it's a little urgent to attack the Hu people in the north. It should wait for my Daqin to appease the survivors of the six countries and send officials to control the various places. After a few years of recuperation, the national strength is restored, the warehouses are rich, and the soldiers think about war. Then start This war is good."

Zhao Tuo knew the purpose of Fusu's visit.

Fusu felt that the war was launched too hastily.

He smiled wryly and said, "Young Master thinks it's better for the northern expedition against Hu people to recover the homeland of Zhuxia that was occupied by them. Or is it better for someone to bring 500,000 Qin troops to the south to attack Baiyue hiding in the miasmatic mountain forest?"

"You can only choose one of the two."

Fusu's face changed slightly.

He didn't go to court, so he was not very clear about what happened in that great court meeting, but after hearing what Zhao Tuo said, he understood a little bit.

He said bitterly: "Father, must we fight?"

Zhao Tuo sighed: "Not only the emperor wants to fight, but all the generals in the Qin State want to fight. The military merit system established by Shang Jun in the past has become a hungry beast that needs to eat constantly. It will keep driving Qin The country started a war, and it was difficult to stop."

With that said, Zhao Tuo dismantled the matter and gave Fusu a detailed analysis.

Fusu was silent.

After a while, he got up and bowed to Zhao Tuo.

"I misunderstood Mr. Zhao. Compared with conquering the southern Baiyue with an army of 500,000, the Northern Expedition proposed by Mr. Zhao is indeed the best choice."

"My lord doesn't have to be like this."

Zhao Tuo turned sideways, and asked again: "Have you ever tried to persuade me, my lord?"

Fu Su shook his head and said: "No. I was afraid of offending my father, so I wanted to ask Mr. Zhao first, but now I found that my thinking was too simple. I have to thank Mr. Zhao for reminding me this time."

A look of relief flashed in Zhao Tuo's eyes.

His uncle was really different.

If it was replaced by Fusu in history, when encountering such a thing, he would definitely write a letter to persuade him, and then he would stand up to the first emperor.

The current Fusu, before knowing how to persuade him, first came to discuss with himself.

This change is enough to prove that Zhao Tuo's previous influence on him was successful. It also proves that the current Fusu regards Zhao Tuo as a family member and came to him in advance.

The two chatted for a while, and after Fusu visited his sister, he said goodbye and left.

Before he left, Zhao Tuo was still a little worried, and said: "The emperor has made a decision on this matter and will not change it. Don't persuade me at this time, my lord."

"Um."

Fusu responded, and left with a look of sadness on his face.

Zhao Tuo stood at the door, watching the carriage of Young Master Fusu drifting away, thoughtful.

In the following time, while appeasing his angry wife, Zhao Tuo looked up information and flipped through the map of the north, thinking about the strategy of this Northern Expedition.

It's just that his plan of attacking the Xiongnu in the north that he had originally thought about was disrupted by the information about the Henan land from the Taiwei's mansion.

"The Huns in Henan were driven away by Yuezhi?"

"Today's Henan land is Yueshi's territory?"

Looking at the information in his hand, Zhao Tuo was in a daze.

Don't you want to attack the Huns in the north?

Why did it change to Yuezhi's script?
