My brother is the most handsome man in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 420 Your bragging is broken, why do you need me to fix it?

"I don't think about that much. If the prince wants to bother me more, I'm afraid he will make a mistake.

"You predicted me, I predicted your prediction, and you predicted my prediction of you. If this continues, when will it end...

"Brother Huang has a bad temper, but he should be very tolerant of the prince. The prince's talents and knowledge are enough for the prince to restrain most of his temper. As long as the prince does not rebel and seek death, his life should be safe..."

The sound became distant and quiet.

The alien black tiger followed behind, looking impatient.

The two horses in front walked so slowly that every step they took was very short, which was very uncomfortable. The black tiger felt like a human walking with his legs crossed.

The next day.

The convoy that had been parked for several days set off from Xiangxian County and rushed to Donghai County.

On the fifth day of march, the memorial from Xianyang caught up with the convoy and reached the hands of the First Emperor.

After the First Emperor finished reading, he called his younger brother into the carriage, threw the memorial, and looked unhappy.

"Before the end of the year, you insisted on going your own way and wanted to lead the army to the northern expedition to the Huns. I have said all kinds of good things and Li Mu has done thorough analysis, but to no avail. As a result, there is such a mess today. It is your turn to clean up."

Ying Chengyu picked it up and looked at it, speechless for a long time.

The situation in the northwest war was completely beyond his expectation and did not proceed according to his will at all.

Meng Tian, ​​whom he appointed, is indeed a good fighter against the Huns.

Assisted by dozens of senior generals from the Meng family who resigned and went north, with [-] cavalry, they defeated the Huns for more than [-] miles.If the Qin State recruits civilians and builds a city to the north at this moment, it will be able to expand the territory of at least three counties.

Such a merit is second only to the merit of destroying the country.If counted as military merit, it would be enough for Meng Tian to be promoted to the rank of Marquis of Guannei.

But with such high morale and fierce fighting mood, Meng Tian actually stopped fighting.

Meng Ao had ordered the generals of the Meng family to attack the Huns from the north.What Meng Tian did now was against his father's wishes.

Not only did he not fight against the Xiongnu, but he also detained all the soldiers and horses of General Ying in the border county to serve as guards in the county.Thanks to the generosity of Ying Chengxu and the nobles of the Chu family, he escorted the prince Ying Fusu.

The memorial was written by Lu Buwei. Lu Buwei did not clearly state that Meng Tian stopped the messenger, and the wording was very euphemistic.

[The third son sent several messengers, but they all got lost in the desert.Only when I personally went to Shangjun to report the matter did I know about it. 】

The two brothers Ying Zheng and Ying Chengxi understood what was going on at a glance.

It's normal to get lost in the depths of the desert.

However, there were still several people lost in Qin's territory from Jiuyuan to Shangjun, and they were all soldiers fighting in the northwest. This was not normal at all.

Ying Chengxi suddenly said:
"Brother Imperial, you said that Meng Tian did what he did, did his eldest nephew teach him to do it, or did he do it on his own initiative?"

The First Emperor thought for a moment and said:
"It's been nearly a year since I left, and I haven't even come back for the wax festival. I really can't tell what Fusu looks like now. Oh, if there is really a shadow of Fusu in this, it would be a happy event."

He smiled unconsciously, then quickly suppressed his smile, put on a very serious expression, grabbed Ying Chengxu's wrist and said:
"This time you go north, stay in Shangjun for a while and take a good look at Fusu for me. Don't let this traitor run from one extreme to another and take the wrong road again!"

A cool look flashed across his eyes.

"If this rebellious son dares to assassinate the general, he will be brought back to Xianyang, and another prince will be chosen! I am not old yet, and this world can last for decades!"

Although scenes of fathers and sons killing each other and brothers killing each other were common in the royal family during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the First Emperor would not accept it. This was his bottom line.

After speaking, the First Emperor looked at Ying Chengyu, a look of regret suddenly appeared on his face, and he couldn't hide it at all. "Oh, Afang is right. It would be great if you were my son. I don't have to worry about who will be the second Qin."

"Hey! That's too much!"

Ying Chengqiao raised his head in astonishment.

I regard you as my brother, but you actually want to be my father? !If you have the guts to say this, go and say it in front of my father’s memorial tablet!

It’s not that the First Emperor never thought about brotherhood, on the contrary, he thought about it many times.

There are two reasons for not making Ying Chengxuan the crown prince:
[-]. Ying Chengyu refused to do anything, and naturally did not love the throne.

[-]. There is not much age difference between the two brothers. Ying Chengyu is only four years younger than him.

If nothing else goes wrong, when he died, Ying Chengyu was about to die, and he would not be able to sit on the throne for a few years.When he dies and replaces the new king, it will cause another turmoil in the court situation, which is not conducive to stability. It is better to get it in place at once.

"Too much? Is it too much for you to ask Jing Ke to kill for that traitor? Such despicable methods should not appear on the king!"

The emperor, if he wants to kill his subordinates, he should do it openly and openly. What happened to the assassination?

Yingcheng smiled sheepishly.

"No, I will ask Jing Ke to stop this time."

After he is sure that the person has a way to die, he can send people to kill him secretly.He doesn't want to sit on the throne, so he doesn't have to care about worldly opinions, just feel at ease.

But Ying Fusu is really not suitable.

An emperor who kills his subjects by assassination will only show his own incompetence and cause panic among his subjects after the officials know about it. The harm far outweighs the benefits.

Regarding Ying Chengyu's rush to the northwest, the two brothers had a frank and detailed exchange - how to fight against the Xiongnu, the maximum extent to which the seven northwest counties could participate in the war, and whether the Xiongnu land would be given to General Ying or to Ying Fu after the battle. Su various matters.

After everything was said and done, the First Emperor rubbed his cheeks to calm his inner shock.

"If someone else tells me to beat the Xiongnu like this, I will definitely let him take twenty sticks to wake up. If he wants to die, I will help him without having to bring my soldiers with him.

"Reason tells me that your battle plan is almost impossible.

"I have been rational all my life, so this time I will be emotional. Don't let me down.

"I don't want to be Zhao Dan, and I don't want you to be Zhao Kuo.

"Whether you and I will become the second armchair warrior and make fun of future generations for thousands of years. Or whether we will make great achievements and be praised by future generations, it all depends on you."

The First Emperor had never heard of such a crazy battle plan.

Qingqi went deep into the desert, carrying only a few days' worth of food and grass, fighting to support the war, gathering the surrendered troops to continue fighting. This completely subverted all the military theories that the First Emperor had read.

There is no need to transport grain and grass before the three armies move, and there is no need to recruit soldiers.The most important person in a war depends on the enemy for food supply, something no one in the art of war in the past dynasties would have dared to do in their dreams.

Why can you, a lone army, penetrate deep behind enemy lines?

Why can we find the enemy before finishing the rations and still win the battle?
Why can the gathered surrender army immediately abandon the tribe that gave birth to him and fight for you?

"Actually, I don't know if it's possible. If Meng Tian doesn't do anything wrong, I really don't want to do it myself. How about you, Emperor Brother, write a letter and let Meng Tian march on the army?"

"If you don't write it, your bragging is ruined. Why do you want me to fix it?"

　Weakly ask for a monthly pass!
