Meng Tian stood at the border of the Great Wall and stared into the distance.

I don’t know how long I waited, but a black dot finally appeared in front of him. Then there were more and more black dots, and as the black dots gradually moved and approached, gradually enlarging.

Seeing this scene, Meng Tian finally breathed a sigh of relief. After so many days, the soldiers who were alone were finally back!

Fusu was not riding on the horse at this time, and the more than 8,000 Qin soldiers behind him were all walking all the way.

The war horse walking in the front was carrying several jars of jars and jars on the horse's back. Everyone looked at all solemnly.

Meng Tian also knew that those were bone colonies collected after the cremation of the fallen soldiers this time, totaling more than 5,000.

Before this, the ashes of more than 20,000 soldiers still followed the people back to the pass.

This time, the number of soldiers who came back was only 8,000, while there were more than 30,000 people going out of the frontier, and not even one-third of the people survived.

Every soldier and every surviving general has experienced all kinds of fierce battles before surviving to the end.

This is also the most heavy loss to the Qin army in recent years when facing the Hu people.

Meng Tian looked at the Qin soldiers in front of him. Before going to war, they were all young men in bright clothes and angry horses. They were all full of energy in the army, and each of them was the pride of heaven.

Now, their clothes are ragged and the blood on their clothes has been washed, they can still be vaguely distinguished under the sunlight.

Silence means that the eight thousand Qin troops are stronger and stronger. The surviving people are no longer for themselves, but for the dead, and they also have to bear the honor of the dead.

"Why do you say that you are not in robes and are in the same comrade with me? Wang Yu raised his troops and repaired my spear and shared his hatred with me!"

"Why do you say you have no clothes? You are in the same vein as me. The king of the army will be established, and I will build my spear and halberd, and I will work with you!"

"Why do you say you don't have clothes? You have the same clothes as you. The king of you will build your army and build your armor and soldiers, and walk with you!"

At some point, this war song sung on the Qin Opera land was chanted again. The generals who came to greet Meng Tian couldn't help but open their mouths and sang the war song of Qin under the influence of this atmosphere.

The people of Yan also looked at this scene silently. They did not have much sense of belonging to the Qin Dynasty, which had only been ruled for ten years. Until now, many of them still think that they are the people of Yan State.

They also knew that the Qin army who went out of the frontier this time had a great victory, but when the people in Yan saw the vessels containing the bones of the fallen soldiers in front of them, they seemed to be touched by something in their hearts.

There have been many generous and tragic people in Yanzhao since ancient times, and countless heroes and heroes!

When they saw that many of these soldiers were Qin people from Guanzhong, who were killed in the vast grasslands and fought for them, at some point, they actually felt a sense of belonging in their hearts.

These soldiers who fell to the battlefield are undoubtedly worthy of praise and respect for the people of Yan, who have always admired heroes.

Although the Qin army once broke the city and the Yan Kingdom was destroyed, now all dust returns to dust and soil.

The only thing worth remembering is these soldiers who sacrifice their lives and shed their blood.

The army slowly entered the city, and Fusu got together with Meng Tian. The general process of the matter, Fusu had already written a memorial and handed it to Meng Tian, ​​while Meng Tian immediately copied a copy and then rushed to Xianyang.

More than 20,000 Hu people did not enter the city with the Qin army, but were arranged by Meng Tian in a large camp.

At this time, the appearance of Hu people is undoubtedly a stimulus for the people who do not understand the details, and it will also intensify the conflict between the two sides.

Meng Tian also admired Fusu's skills. More than 8,000 Qin troops dared to surrender more than 20,000 Hu prisoners, and let these prisoners use them for his own use.

With such a bold approach, Meng Tian doesn't feel that there is another one in the world.

"Menghe, Yingbu, lead the soldiers down to rest." Fusu glanced lightly and ordered casually.

Meng Tian found that Fusu was a little different from before leaving the frontier. He seemed to have become more decisive and decisive. He became more capable and the young master who once seemed elegant and easy-going has now faded.

"Meng Qing, what news is there in Xianyang?"

After being in the north for so long, especially leading troops out of the frontier, it completely cut off news from the mainland. Fusu naturally paid priority to the news in Xianyang at this moment, which was particularly important for him.

"This is a letter sent by my inner brother Meng Yi." Meng Tian knew Fusu would have such a question, and after handing the letter to Fusu, Meng Tian said: "There is no big change in the court. It's just over a month ago that the Huayin envoy presented a jade bi. It was a jade bi that was thrown into the river when His Majesty sacrificed to the water god for twenty years..."

Looking at the full letter, the cold sweat on Fusu's head was almost revealed. It was obviously someone who did this on purpose, intending to attack the credibility of the Qin court and the prestige of Ying Zheng.

"These remnants of the six kingdoms are really thieves!" Fusu was secretly angry.

Obviously, these remnants of the Six Kingdoms who were hidden among the people and fanning the flames made Fusu quite angry, but it was not easy to catch these people.

These people were extremely slippery, and they disappeared immediately after a little movement.

Fusu knew why this was. After leaving Luoyang, Fusu understood that the Qin Dynasty had a big problem with the grassroots rule of the six Shandong countries.

It even retaliated against the Guanzhong area, the base of Qin. For example, this time the reappearance of the sunken jade was in the Guanzhong area, which shows that the Guanzhong area has also begun to be infiltrated by the nobles of the six countries.

In the final analysis, there are too few officials at the grassroots level. In the past, Qin State was able to be invincible against the six countries in Shandong. Isn’t it because there are thousands of officials who like them who are happy at the grassroots level?

The Qin Empire, which expanded rapidly, could not remit so many personnel for a while. The six Shandong countries implemented effective jurisdiction, and Guanzhong, which was drawn, became a weak area.

"But the great fortune of Qin State, the young master's victory is too time to come!" A smile appeared on Meng Tian's lips.

Meng Tian changed his words, and his face seemed a little worried, saying, "My brother Meng Yi wrote to me and told me that Your Majesty intends to go east again."

Fusu frowned, and he also guessed some of Ying Zheng's intentions.

In history books, Fusu remembers that Ying Zheng also divined for this. In fact, divination could have been manipulated by humans.

For example, if you want to burn something on the tortoise shell, you can do some tricks on the tortoise shell first, and then pretend to be the will of the gods.

With the pretext of a god, this routine is not just that he can play Fusu. Before him, someone had already played this trick!

Otherwise, the court had already decided to lead troops to fight. Could it be that it was decided to stop the military and reconciliation because of a divination? This is obviously impossible, so there is only the only way to control the will of God!

Therefore, Fusu felt that it might be that Ying Zheng had already realized that Qin's rule in the six countries was not very stable, and he wanted to go east to deter the traitors of the six countries hidden underground.

However, this method is to treat the symptoms but not the root cause!

Even if it can achieve temporary effects, it will not be a solution if it lasts for a long time. But Fusu also understands that this is also a solution. If it cannot effectively deal with the remnants of the six kingdoms, this is the best way to delay time!

Fusu found that his father Ying Zheng was almost a perfect emperor! He could always find the most effective and advantageous way to achieve his goals.

If it weren't for the limitations of the times, Fusu would really suspect that his father was not a human but a god!

Pressing these in mind, Fusu changed the topic and said, "Meng Qing, do you have any plans next?"

Seeing that Fusu didn't say anything about this, instead asking about this, Meng Tian was so happy that he smiled and said, "I don't know what aspect is the young master referring to?"

Seeing Fusu staring at him, Meng Tian said, "The young master of this war has severely defeated the Xiongnu and Donghu. I think that in the next five years, the north should be peaceful."

"I will return to Beijing with the young master to report to His Majesty." Meng Tian's words were relaxed and freehand, saying, "I'm a little old after leaving Xianyang, and I really miss you!"

Fusu was not surprised. He had been in the court for many years, and Meng Tian guessed that His Majesty's thoughts were not difficult, and Meng Tian's free and easy letting go also made Fusu a little grateful and admired.

Not everyone can give up the power in their hands! If Meng Tian doesn’t give in, I’m afraid that both sides will be ugly next!

Fusu pondered for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking, and said, "Meng Tian, ​​I'm not talking about this."

Meng Tian looked at Fusu in confusion, obviously not knowing what Fusu was still thinking.

Fusu sorted out the words a little and said, "Meng Qing also said just now that there will be no war in the north within five years. In my opinion, I want to retire some of the Qin army."

"Retired?" Meng Tian was very confused.

In this era, as a general, there is obviously no concept. Generally speaking, if you join the army, you will be dead until you die!

Unless it is a battlefield war that leads to physical disability, they will retire and return home, or they will be injured or sick, and there will be various problems that will cause the soldiers to retire.

And for high-level generals, it is even more profession! After I become a master, my son may also take over my profession.

Fusu explained a little, and finally said, "Mengqing, I think there are wounded people in the army, those who have not been married and have been married and have been in the Qin army for five years, and those who have been married and have been over 30 years old, even if they have no titles, they will be given back the silver and sent home."

Fusu simply discussed several standards with Meng Tian. In short, a considerable number of elderly and unqualified people among the generals, as well as some unmarried and children, were eliminated.

The purpose of removing the elderly is to streamline the Qin army and enhance the combat effectiveness of the Qin army. The purpose of letting people who have not been married and children go home is to train the next generation for the Qin army for a long time.

Only when the Qin army continues to replenish fresh blood can it remain strong!

And this is also the fundamental solution that Fusu gave to Ying Zheng! These soldiers who returned home did not just do a farmer’s business!

If this is the case, it would be too wasteful and it would be a bit of a waste of money!

To be precise, for these people, farming can only be regarded as a side job! The main business is to help the Qin court enrich the grassroots forces and consolidate the Qin court's rule over the grassroots.

These soldiers have no problem with loyalty and are all the most hard-core supporters of the Ying family.

With such a group of people scattered throughout the Guanzhong countryside, it can be said that the problems at the grassroots level of Qin State are not much greater!

But the problem that makes people feel a little troublesome is how to train these people!

Fighting war and dealing with things in the countryside are completely different things! It is necessary to come out with someone who has a full understanding of the countryside and can come up with effective ways to do things.

But after searching Fusu's memory carefully, he couldn't find such a talent. Perhaps Xiao He was a more suitable candidate, but Xiao He rejected him twice, which made Fusu a little embarrassed!

After thinking for a long time, Fusu decided to continue doing this even if he had to bite the bullet!

Can living people still be suffocated to death? Without Butcher Zhang, he will eat a pig with hair? Fusu doesn't believe this evil.

It is imperative to let some people return home in the army. This can also effectively solve the problem of tendency of the clans in the army. When soldiers are dispersed to the grassroots level, it can be said that the forces of these clans are completely dispersed. These soldiers were originally attached to the generals, but now they have to change their direction and rely on the court.

Before Fusu left the frontier, he had already written to Ying Zheng to talk about this matter, and he also asked Ying Zheng to plan this matter. Now for so long, Fusu thought that Ying Zheng should have done it almost!

Meng Tian pondered for a moment, his mind turned several times, and he had already thought clearly about the interests of the matter, and was also a little amazed at Fusu's trick to remove the firewood from the bottom of the pot.

However, it was no longer interesting to his Meng family!

He returned to Beijing to report his work. It can be foreseen that he would be idle in Xianyang for a long time. Even if there was a war, Wang Li would be enough to deal with it.

Therefore, although the military changes to what it is, it has not had much impact on the Meng family.

To take a step back, Meng Tian believes that Fusu's strategy is also wonderful and will play a decisive role in the collapse of some forces in the army.

After four or five years of training, the additional recruits can completely grow into an elite army that is put into the battlefield. In this way, the Qin army's combat power has not lost much, but the gains are many.

The only person who needs to give an opinion on this matter is probably Wang Li!

Fusu's move undoubtedly brought the Qin army into a period of weakness in a short period of time, and it took time to slowly recuperate and recover.

This is really not good news for Wang Li!

Fusu also looked at Meng Tian nervously, obviously wanting to finalize the matter with Meng Tian. Now Meng Tian is still the commander of the Qin army in the north, and only when Meng Tian supports him can this matter be implemented.
Chapter completed!
