Da Qin: Confucianism, Dharma and Taoism

Fusu held the letters in his hands. He stood up from the couch in a daze, pacing in a restless manner.

Tired of walking, he picked up a wine pot beside him, poured a cup, and drank it directly.

Meng Tian just looked at him silently.

This was the first time Meng Tian saw Fusu like this.

In Meng Tian's memory, Prince Fusu had always been gentle and polite, with the gentle and jade-like demeanor of a Confucian.

But this was the first time he saw Prince Fusu who was so restless and drank strong liquor.

The strong smell of alcohol made Fusu's mouth uncomfortable. His hair was loose and he exhaled with a haha.

Looking at the pot of wine, he suddenly asked: "This wine was invented by Uncle Wang, right?"

Meng Tian's eyes fell on the wine pot, and he nodded slowly and said: "It seems that King Yong used some kind of distillation technology to make this "993737" strong liquor, which is very popular in the army."

"It's just that it takes a lot of grain to make this wine, so the annual output is not much, and it is only used by officers like us in the army."

Fusu sighed lightly: "Uncle Wang is really a genius, I am far inferior to him."

Meng Tian was silent for a while, and said: "Not long ago, King Yong called We, the generals in the army, went to see his new invention. "

"It is said that it was proposed by King Yong, and the descendants of the medical family personally experimented and invented something called 'penicillin'."

"It can heal wound ulcers. Using this thing can reduce the mortality rate of injured soldiers by 70% to 80%, but this thing still has side effects for the time being and cannot be used on a large scale."

"Fusu's face changed when he heard this, and he exclaimed: "There is such a magical thing."

"After staying in Shangjun for so long, Fusu is no longer ignorant of military affairs as he was in the past."He knew very well that many soldiers in the army were not killed on the spot, but died from the festering wounds of the sword."If this medicine really has such a miraculous effect, it will greatly reduce the casualties of soldiers and greatly improve the national strength."If this thing existed during the period when Qin unified the six countries, it is estimated that the six countries would be defeated more miserably, and Qin could get rid of them at a lower cost.

Of course, the six countries are nothing. The biggest loss of Qin was during the conquest of Baiyue.

If this thing had been available during the conquest of Baiyue, it is estimated that there would not have been 200,000 or 300,000 deaths.

Meng Tian seemed to be asking Fusu what to do, but as the two chatted, the topic seemed to have changed to praising Ying Wei's contribution and talent.

"Meng Tian, ​​if... I mean if, we really led 300,000 Great Wall troops south, what would happen? Tell me the actual situation."

Fusu asked hoarsely.

Meng Tian said in a deep voice: "We may be able to hide it from my adjutants and let them know about the changes at home for the time being, but this matter cannot be kept secret for long."

"If we lead an army of 300,000 and it is difficult to conquer, the soldiers will not know what is happening and will follow us at first."

"But when they know we are going to attack Xianyang, the soldiers will definitely have the first wave of unrest, and I am afraid that some of my adjutants will also betray us."

"After all, their families are in Xianyang, and we are not legitimate."

"I don't know how many soldiers will follow us by then, maybe 50,000, or maybe 100,000."

"But if we want to conquer with such a force, Xianyang City is absolutely impossible."

"Besides, with the great talent and strategy of King Yong, he will definitely mobilize Li Xin's troops in Hangu Pass. When the two sides attack, the Great Wall Corps will inevitably be defeated."

"So if you really have this idea, I advise you not to act rashly, but to find a way to contact Xianyang first and try to get some officials or generals to cooperate."

"Only in this way can we have a chance of success."

Meng Tian still had something to say, that is, if he really did this, the whole Meng family would surely die.

Fusu sighed and said, "There is one more thing you didn't tell me. If the Great Wall Corps is transferred, those Hu people will also go south."

Meng Tian nodded gently.

Fusu's expression became firm: "If so, wouldn't I become a sinner for all ages and a sinner of Qin."

"I am the eldest son of Qin and the son of the First Emperor. I can't do this."

"Meng Tian, ​​I am ready to learn from the former Lian Po of Zhao State and ask for forgiveness with a thorn stick on my back!"

Hearing Fusu's words, Meng Tian was relieved.

Although he said that he would firmly support Fusu's idea, to be honest, if Fusu really chose to resist Xianyang, he was afraid that he would regret it at that time... .........

It was hard for Meng Tian to accept that the Meng family was destroyed because of his own reasons, especially that the probability of success of what he did was so low... .........

Their Meng family had been a family of famous generals in Qin for generations, and they were aristocrats among aristocrats. There was no need to gamble.

Fusu would choose to give up the uprising and take the initiative to return to Xianyang, and Meng Tian's heart was also put down.

"In this case, I will go back to Xianyang with you."

Meng Tian knew that he and Fusu were too close. If he stayed in Shangjun, King Yong would still be wary of him.

Only when the two of them returned to Xianyang together could King Yong give up his vigilance against them.

Besides, it was already said in the edict that even if they were to go back together, Meng Tian would not dare to disobey.

After going to Xianyang, Meng Tian did not know what the outcome would be.

Perhaps he would be dismissed.

Even if he was dismissed and retired from the army, it would be better than gambling with the lives of his entire family.

At worst, he would give up this generation, and he could cultivate the next generation well to let the Meng family continue to rise.

After having the idea, Fusu and Meng Tian bothHe is a man of swift action.

The two immediately called the adjutants of the Shangjun Great Wall Corps, and Meng Tian handed over the imperial edict and tiger talisman to them.

It was not until then that the adjutants knew that such a big thing had happened in Xianyang, and even their families were controlled. They were all 5.0 scared.

Fortunately, their chief general, General Meng, did not do anything wrong, but chose the right choice.

"You don't have to worry. When I and the prince arrive in Xianyang, King Yong will definitely not do anything to your family."

"When I'm not here, the army will be handed over to Dong Zheng for command. I believe in your ability. Be sure to be careful of those Hu people and don't leave the Great Wall at will to fight with them on the grassland."

Meng Tian began to order the garrison of the Great Wall Corps.

"Yes! Please rest assured, general."

The adjutants responded loudly.

Meng Tian was indeed quite relieved, as these were his old subordinates who had followed him in battles all over the country.

Leave the army to them, and there is no need to worry too much.

After doing all this, Meng Tian personally selected a thousand soldiers to escort Fusu, and set out from Dongjun to Xianyang. .
