"If you continue to use it to defeat Yan and destroy Qi, I'm afraid..."

Ying Zheng couldn't help but nodded slightly in agreement with an "oh".

If you look at it from the perspective of an outsider, it means that "the capable live in it", and whoever has the ability will go.

But as a great king, Ying Zheng couldn't do that in terms of power.

For example, Wang Jian has made so much credit that he, a great king, is afraid... One day, if Wang Jian rises up and says he wants to clear the emperor's side, Ying Zheng can't guarantee how many old troops will follow Wang Jian.

That's why Ying Zheng wanted to cut Wang Jian's power.

However, Yang Duanhe and Shen Bing are Wang Jian's former troops. Their power is not very different from Wang Jian's power, and they will still pose a threat to the king's power.

If they let their influence grow...it would not be a good thing.

Another very important point is: at this time, the remaining two countries are exactly the Three Kingdoms, that is, Dai, Yan, and Qi, which are no longer worth mentioning.Then there is no need to rely on such powerful figures as Yang Duanhe and Shen Bing.

This is what the idiom says, "The cunning rabbit is dead and the dog is cooking".

Ying Zheng frowned and asked:

"For the sake of today..."

Lis suggested:

"Your Majesty, the northern land is the upper reaches of the Yellow River, which is of great importance."

"Although it is garrisoned by our army, there are only a few thousand people."

"This place has been garrisoned by Li Mu in the past to stop the Xiongnu."

"Now our army has no one who can stop the Huns, but Shen Bing's martial arts army..."

So Ying Zheng understood, let Yang Duanhe be stationed in the south, while Shen Bing was stationed in the north.

With the separation of the south and the north, it is not easy to form cliques for personal gain.

Ying Zheng nodded and asked:

"Then who should be the general for the crusade against Yan Dai?"

Liz replied:

"I think General Mengwu is the right fit!"

Yingzheng also thought of Mengwu... Yingzheng had intentionally cultivated Mengwu and used it to fight Wang Jian before, but Mengwu just didn't live up to it.

The remaining few unremarkable countries are almost given to him to upgrade, and if he can't beat Yingzheng, there is nothing he can do.

So Ying Zheng agreed to Li Si's plan without even thinking about it.

What Ying Zheng didn't expect was... Zhao Gao and Li Si had colluded together.

After Shen Bing was designated by Ying Zheng as Fusu's master, Li Si and Zhao Gao felt threatened.

Shen Bing is Fusu's master, so one day Fusu will become the king, and everyone knows who will become the prime minister.

At that time, Li Si will definitely lose power, and Zhao Gao... naturally will also fall out of favor.

Of course, it seems a little too early to say this now.

But there is a saying that "people who have no long-term worries must have near-term worries."

As power ministers, they don't think about anything else all day long, they just think about how to obtain and hold these powers firmly in their hands...

Objectively speaking, Li Si was not like this before.

Before the overall situation was settled, Li Si's mind was still on unifying the Central Plains, so he devoted himself to politics.

After all, this can also bring credit to Li Si, so he climbed up to the position of prime minister step by step.

But at this time the overall situation has been decided... Then there is the issue of taking power, so it is as if he has changed into a different person with Zhao Gao.

In fact, in the final analysis, the relationship of interests still plays a role.

On the other hand, it is Li Si and Zhao Gao who think:

If Shen Bing was assigned to the north where the emperor was far away, then Fusu, who had experienced by Shen Bing's side, would naturally be "assigned".

As a son, Fusu can almost be said to be the default heir, the farther away they are, the more room they have to manipulate...

These ideas are all right, because in history they succeeded because of these layouts.

The problem is that what they have to face now is Shen Bing.

At this time, Shen Bing needed a place like the Northland.

Chapter 291

Shen Bing got the order a few days later:

"The five senior officers, Shen Bingjin, became Zuo Shuzhang, and served as the general of the Northland. He immediately led the Daliang Army and the Shenwu Army to the Northland to prevent the Xiongnu from going south."

Shen Bing didn't feel that there was anything wrong with this order at first.

After all, the Northern Land in the Qin Dynasty was also the Hetao area, which has always been the frontier of competition for the northern nomadic peoples of the Central Plains countries...

On the one hand, the reason was that Meng Tian hadn't connected the Great Wall of the Northland at this time, so this place became a gap for the Huns to go south.

On the other hand, the geographical location of the Hetao area is very important. In today's words, it is:

"Hetao looks at Guanzhong in the south, and controls the top items in the world. Those who win Hetao travel the world, and those who lose Hetao lose the world. Hetao is safe, the world is safe, Hetao is chaotic, and the world is chaotic."

At this time, it has entered the end of spring, and the northern nomads will surely go south to plunder after a whole winter.

At the same time, the overall situation in the Central Plains has been determined, and the remaining three countries are no longer enough to flee. It is normal for Shen Bing to lead the Daliang Army and the Shenwu Army to the north to resist the Huns.

So Shen Bing ordered the soldiers to pack up and say goodbye to Yang Duanhe, and then rushed up against the sand and water to the north.

Of course, there is also Fusu, who follows the army as a supervisor, but at this time even Wei Xie and Wang Ben know that Fusu is actually training with Shen Bing.

If Wei Wei and Wang Ben knew, then it would not be a secret to others.

At this moment, the army's morale was greatly boosted.

First of all, a considerable part of the Daliang Army and the Shenwu Army are not the Qin Army who are "rooted and Miaohong".

Fortunately, the Shenwu army, since the original Heijia army suffered heavy casualties in the battle of Ruyin, a large number of cavalry troops have been replenished.

Some of these cavalry were northern goblin cavalry, including Wang Bo and Lei Hui... The former was rescued by Shen Bing from suicide, while the latter was tricked and recruited by Shen Bing.

These two were originally cavalry captains under Li Mu's command. They had followed Li Mu to fight against the Huns for many years and knew quite a lot about the tactics of the Huns and the terrain of the Northland. Of course, Shen Bing would not let them go easily.

The two of them served as two or five hundred masters under Wang Ben, and each led a thousand northern goblin cavalry.

The only thing that worries Shen Bing is that these two people often sigh and sigh when they talk about Li Mu... If one day they find out that Li Mu actually died because of Shen Bing's plan, I don't know how they will react?

In addition, how would the more than [-] northern goblins they left behind react? !

But Shen Bing couldn't care less about these things anymore. Who made Qin Jun have few cavalry and poor riding skills?

If even a 5000-man cavalry army is not enough, the Shenwu army will not be able to fight the Huns at the same time... Fighting the Huns is no joke, it will not be as easy as fighting the Chu cavalry.

So this Shenwu army of more than [-] people is more than [-] original Wei cavalry troops, [-] northern cavalry troops, and [-] Qin troops.

In other words, there were only two thousand native Qin troops.

Not to mention the Daliang army, almost all of them were soldiers from the state of Wei. After the casualties in the attack on Chu, some soldiers were even recruited from the people of the state of Chu on the spot...

This was a common practice during the Warring States period. Because these local sources of soldiers could not be fully trusted, one or two troops were usually mixed into one or two soldiers. The equipment issued was also very simple, and most of them were used as labor , so as to achieve the purpose of supporting war with war.

So Shen Bing set it down that it was a mixture of people from Wei, Qin, Chu, and Zhao.

This kind of mixed force of different countries should be difficult to manage and not trusted... because it is very likely that these troops originally belonging to other countries will rebel.

However, Fusu, son of the Qin State, is the supervisor of this army. This is because he believes in these soldiers from other countries, so it is of great benefit to boost morale.

Secondly, the soldiers knew that the son Fusu served as the supervisor of the army, so could there be less supplies and equipment?

There are also food and military pay, etc. Are they better than other armies?

Then the young master Fusu is in the team, will he not participate in too dangerous battles?

So morale was boosted again.

Again, everyone knows that young master Fusu trained with General Shen Bing.

In this way, isn't Shen Bing the Taifu?

One day the young master will help Su to become the King of Qin, so wouldn't the "Northern Soldier" that Shen Bing put down be the king's teacher?

So morale went up to a higher level.

However, Fusu was not as optimistic as they thought. He always felt that there was something wrong with this matter, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

After driving for more than half a month and entering Zhao's land, several people secretly reported to Fusu.

Then Fusu ordered the carriage to catch up with Shen Bing in front.

"General!" Fusu said anxiously: "Fusu has something to discuss with the general..."

As soon as Shen Bing heard this, he understood that the things to be discussed should not be heard by others, so he stopped the carriage and walked with Fu Su to the side of the road dozens of steps away.

Fu Su frowned and sighed, and said to Shen Bing full of apology:

"Fusu is ashamed, but this time it was Fusu who harmed the general!"

Shen Bing couldn't help but wonder:

"Why did you say that, son?"

Fusu didn't answer and asked instead:

"Do you know why Your Majesty sent his generals to the north to resist the Xiongnu at this moment?"

Shen Bing asked:

"Is there something else hidden about this matter?"

Fusu nodded and replied:

"Today there is a guest coming to report, but it was Zhao Gao and Li Sijian who made this order."

"The disciples guessed that the reason why Zhao Gao, Li Si and others made such suggestions was to keep Fusu away from the Central Plains..."

Shen Bing let out an "oh" before he understood.

Zhao Gao is Hu Hai's teacher...Although Hu Hai is only three years old at this time, Ying Zheng has ordered Zhao Gao to teach him how to hold a pen and practice calligraphy, and he will definitely take Zhao Gao as his teacher in the future.

Therefore, Zhao Gao did not want to help Su succeed to the throne.

As for Li Si... If he wants to keep his position as prime minister and the power in his hands, he can only support Hu Hai with Zhao Gao.

Although Fu Su read the books of sages and sages since he was a child, after all, he grew up in the palace, so he still has a certain understanding of the open and secret conflicts.At this time, the doorman knew what was going on as soon as he was reminded.

Shen Bing thought for a while and replied:

"My son's words are wrong."

"I can't tell whether I hurt the young master or the young master hurt me."

Fu Suqi said:

"how do I say this?"

Shen Bing replied:

"Dare to ask, my lord, when Chunyu Yue was appointed as Taifu, why didn't he have the current predicament?"

Fusu thought for a while, then said "Oh", then nodded and said:

"It's just because Li Si and Zhao Gao didn't take Taifu seriously, so they never regarded Fusu as a threat."

Shen Bing replied:

"For one thing, Chunyu Yue is already old, and when the son succeeds to the throne, he is no longer fit to be a prime minister, so..."

Fusu continued and said:

"So Fusu will still have to use Li Si as his prime minister, so Li Si won't join forces with Zhao Gao?"

Shen Bing nodded, and then said:

"The subordinates dare to speak out. In this way, we should be on guard."
