Da Qin: From a disciple of Fusu to a generation of imperial masters

Chapter 113 Morning is coming! Ying Zheng asked the ministers for their opinions and took the initiative to attack the Xiongnu!

The next day outside Qilin Hall!

The ministers stood outside the main hall, waiting to enter the Qilin Hall.

"Have your lords heard about it? The Huns cavalry attacked the border pass again."

"I also heard the news. These Huns are really hateful and often harass the border."

"I hope the soldiers at the border can guard the border, otherwise if these Huns are allowed to enter the territory of Daqin, the people will suffer."

"Your Majesty has sent General Meng Tian to the border before. With General Meng Tian in the Huns' presence, the Huns cannot invade the Qin territory. Ministers, don't worry."

"Three generations of famous generals from the Meng family. With General Meng Tian guarding the border, it won't be a problem."

"It's just that if General Meng Tian wants to lead his soldiers and take the initiative to fight the Huns, it will be difficult to achieve it."

"The Xiongnu cavalry is very capable of fighting on horseback. The Qin cavalry is still slightly inferior to the Xiongnu cavalry."

Several ministers gathered together and whispered to each other.

They are all ministers of the DPRK and China, and what happens on the border often reaches their ears.

When other ministers heard these ministers discussing the war on the border, they all had their own thoughts in their hearts.

Chunyu Yue's face was gloomy, and he was in a very bad mood during this period.

Several of his plans were ruined, and his attempt to become the chief invigilator of the imperial examination a few days ago also failed.

In the end, the position of chief invigilator was taken by Xiao He, the chief official of the county.

For Chunyu Yue, it was a shame to lose to a county official.

In the past few days, Xiao He was often surrounded by ministers, and these ministers took the initiative to make friends with Xiao He.

Seeing this scene, Chunyu Yue felt even more angry.

Chunyu Yue knew that Fusu was responsible for all this, and Xiao He was recommended to His Majesty by Fusu.

Without Xiao He, the position of chief invigilator must belong to him.

Just now, several ministers were discussing the border war, and Chunyu Yue was even thinking about it.

If Meng Tian cannot hold the border, let the Huns rush into Da Qin.

Meng Tian will definitely be punished by His Majesty, and the Meng family will also be implicated.

The Meng family supports Fusu, so this will also have an impact on Fusu.

Unfortunately, Meng Tian's military capabilities were too powerful and the Huns were unable to invade the territory of Qin.

When Meng Yi heard the words of the ministers behind him, his heart dropped.

His brother was sent to the border by His Majesty, although Meng Yi was far away in Xianyang City.

Meng Yi also knew about several wars on the border, and Meng Yi couldn't help but worry about his brother's safety.

I was also worried that my brother would not be able to withstand the Huns' attack, but fortunately I was overthinking it.

My brother has no problem guarding the border.

Fusu, who was standing at the front, heard several ministers mention Meng Tian.

There was a look of emotion on his face. He hadn't seen General Meng Tian for a while.

Meng Tian and Meng Yi all supported him, and Fusu knew this very well.

Fusu was very happy knowing that General Meng Tian was guarding the border.

"Hundred officials enter the palace!"

Following a loud shout to summon the eunuchs, Fusu and Hu Hai entered the Qilin Hall first.

Other ministers followed the steps of Fusu and Hu Hai and entered the Qilin Hall.

Everyone entered the Qilin Hall and knelt down in their seats.

Soon the First Emperor entered the Qilin Hall wearing a black dragon robe and carrying the Emperor's Sword at his waist.

Everyone noticed that His Majesty's expression today was different from before. In the past, His Majesty always had a smile on his face when he entered the Qilin Hall.

His Majesty's face is very calm now, and everyone knows that this means that His Majesty is not in a good mood today.

The ministers were wondering, could it be that someone made His Majesty angry?

However, during this period of time, they did not hear about anyone or anything that made His Majesty angry.

Everyone sat upright to avoid touching His Majesty's brow.

The First Emperor walked to his throne step by step and sat down!

"See Your Majesty!" Fusu Huhai and other ministers stood up and saluted the First Emperor.

"Be flat!"

The First Emperor looked calm and waved for everyone to get up.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After everyone bowed, they knelt down and sat down in their seats again.

The Qilin Hall instantly became quiet. Although His Majesty spoke calmly just now, many ministers could confirm that His Majesty was indeed in a bad mood today.

Ying Zheng, who was sitting on the throne, glanced at the ministers below, and paused slightly when he looked at Fusu.

Ying Zheng quickly looked away, looked at everyone and said, "Yesterday I received the battle report from General Meng Tian."

"A few days ago, the Xiongnu army attacked the border pass, and General Meng Tian led the Qin soldiers to defend it desperately."

"Under the command of General Meng Tian, ​​the soldiers guarded the pass."

"The Huns were unable to attack the pass and retreated with their army."

Ying Zheng looked at the people in Qilin Hall and told the battle report about sending Meng Tian back.

Everyone nodded slightly when they heard Ying Zheng's words. Just now some ministers outside the palace were still doubting the news.

After hearing His Majesty’s words, I believe it now.

"General Meng Tian is indeed a famous general of his generation, able to withstand the Huns' attack."

"With General Meng Tian here, the Huns cannot invade the territory of Qin."

"Your Majesty is wise and sends General Meng Tian to guard the border."

Several ministers stood up and praised Meng Tian as well as the First Emperor's wisdom.

Looking at the calm expression of the First Emperor, Li Si, who was kneeling on the ground, frowned.

General Meng Tian is guarding the border, which is good news.

Not only was His Majesty not happy, but his face was so calm. There must be other reasons for this.

Li Si's eyes suddenly looked at Fusu, and he found that Fusu was also kneeling in his seat and meditating.

Seeing this scene, Li Si nodded slightly. It seemed that Mr. Fusu had the same idea as him.

Mr. Fusu's judgment ability is much better than before.

"The reason why I am in the court today is to tell you this matter."

"I want to tell you ministers something. Blind defense will only slowly reduce the morale of the army."

"Once morale is greatly reduced, it will give the Huns an opportunity to take advantage."

"By then, the Huns will most likely break through the border defenses and enter Da Qin's territory."

"I believe that rather than blindly defending, the best decision is to take the initiative to attack."

"Taking the initiative to attack means that Qin's cavalry and the Xiongnu's cavalry are fighting head-on."

"Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say that the Huns cavalry's horses and their riding skills are also good."

"It is indeed better than Da Qin's cavalry. Once they fight head-on, Da Qin's cavalry will be at a disadvantage."

"Ministers, is there any way to enable the Qin cavalry to fight head-on with the Xiongnu cavalry without falling into a disadvantage?"

Ying Zheng looked at the ministers in Qilin Hall and stated his purpose.

When conquering the Six Kingdoms, the terrain faced by Da Qin had many passes, and the role of infantry was more important than cavalry.

But when you reach the border, there are endless plains, and the role of infantry cannot be compared with that of cavalry.

If Ying Zheng trusted the Huns' infantry more than the infantry, they would not be able to fight head-on with Da Qin's infantry.

The Huns also understood this, so the Huns' fighting methods mainly relied on cavalry.

In this way, the advantages of Da Qin's infantry could not be brought into play.

The ministers in the Qilin Hall looked at each other after hearing the First Emperor's words, but no minister stood up to express his thoughts.

They are all civil servants who dare not easily speak out their thoughts on the military.

If your Majesty thinks the way you say it is good, that's fine. If your Majesty doesn't agree, he will scold you.

"Your Majesty, I have a suggestion!"

A voice suddenly appeared in the quiet Qilin Hall, and all the ministers looked at the speaker. This person was Chun Yuyue.
