Since the rise of the Qin State in the Western Regions, this place is no longer silent.Shouyiqu, Pingshuofang, and stabilizing the surrounding areas, after several generations of struggle of the Ying family, they finally swept Liuhe and won the Central Plains.However, the wolf smoke in Mobei resumed, and the Huns peeped into Guanzhong, wanting to drink the Weihe River.How can a generation of overlords sit idly by!The overlord is waiting for a love to come to help him clean up the desert wolf.Meng Tian was appointed by heaven, he was the great general of the Qin State who shocked the Xiongnu thousands of miles in history, his name was like a thunder, and his specialty was commanding troops on the battlefield...

In Longxi in early spring, the barren hills are green, and the white-haired wind blows the wet land non-stop.The sky is high and the clouds are light, the clear sky, the vigorous eagle flutters its wings in the sky, looking down at the leisurely herds of horses, sheep and cattle under the clouds among the mountains.On the side of the snow-capped mountains, a team of dozens of horses wandered leisurely on the endless grassland. In this large-scale ranch, there lives a family of the Ying family whose main business has been horse herding for generations.The head of the clan has been appointed as a doctor by the royal family of Zhou, and he can visit the emperor of Zhou nearby every year.

From a narrow mountain road leading to the pasture in the depths of the grassland, a fast horse drove up, and the man on the horse shouted loudly from afar: "Master—" When he approached, the messenger got off the saddle and rushed to the surprised Duke Xiang In front of him, Natou saluted.Duke Xiang hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, why are you so flustered?" The envoy gasped and said, "My lord, something is wrong. There's a battle report from ahead, saying that Quanrong sent people to attack Tianzi Wangcheng. Zhongxinjun has sent someone to ask for help, begging the lord Quickly lead the men and horses to rescue the siege."

Duke Xiang was shocked when he heard this: "Ah! There is such a thing? Blow the rallying call and get ready to escort the king!" Duke Xiang hastily organized elite soldiers and strong generals to go out.Duke Xiang made a sound of prestige, led his army to charge, defeated the dog army, and then broke the siege of the emperor's city.After this emergency, Zhou Tianzi trusted Duke Xiang very much.King Houping planned to move eastward to Luoyi, but Duke Xiang escorted him all the way without saying a word.In recognition of his contribution in escorting King Ping of Zhou to the east, King Ping made Duke Xiang a prince and allowed him to establish his country in the area west of Qishan Mountain.

In the northwest of Qishan, the scenery is beautiful and the water and grass are abundant. It is very suitable for raising livestock.The Ying family lives on animal husbandry in the north. They are diligent in farming and animal husbandry, capable of conquering and fighting, and are persevering.In addition, the horses favored by the war, galloping over the top, handsome and unrestrained, became an important means of transportation for the later competition in Kyushu. In the period of Qin Xiaogong, Qin Xiaogong was thirsty for talents, and issued the "Seeking Talents Order" to the world: no matter whether it is a native of Qin or a foreigner, whoever can make the state of Qin rich and strong will be appointed as an official. As soon as the "Order of Seeking Talents" was issued, it immediately attracted many talented people.Gongsun Yang, an aristocrat of Wei State, came to Qin State alone, and was reused by Qin Xiaogong. He became Shang Yang later.Shang Yang advocated the legal system, promoted reforms, and proposed: If a country wants to be prosperous and strong, it must pay attention to agriculture, reward soldiers, and rewards with punishment.Soon, Qin moved its capital to Xianyang (northeast of today's Xianyang City), and appointed Shang Yang to reform the law, change the clan system, formulate legal codes, and strengthen the military, so that meritorious deeds will be rewarded and demerits must be punished.By emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business, the national power of Qin was strengthened, and the small country of Xirong, which was repeatedly teased and ridiculed by the countries in the Central Plains, gradually became stronger.

During the reign of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, the appearance of a woman ended the fierce struggle between Qin and Yiqu Rong Kingdom that lasted for more than 350 years.She is the mother of King Zhaoxiang and the great-grandmother of Qin Shihuang, Queen Mother Xuan.The Empress Dowager Xuan was a widow in her thirties, with outstanding looks, and she took the initiative to show her favor to King Yiqu Rong. The two people's defensive and cooperative relationship lasted for more than 30 years.It was not until the thirty-fifth year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin Dynasty (272 BC), that the Queen Mother Xuan lured King Yiqurong to Ganquan Palace to kill him again, and then sent a large army to attack. Only then did the country of Yiqurong be eliminated and the troubles in the northwest frontier eliminated.In this way, Qin can safely transfer its strategic goals to the six eastern countries.After more than 160 years, through the efforts of six generations of leaders, Qin State finally rose in the forest of great powers competing with iron and blood.

History is like a magnificent river, surging and never drying up, and then the fierce Qin Shihuang ascended the throne.This is a wonderful era, a passionate era, and an exciting era.Qin Yingzheng (246 BC ~ 210 BC) was born in Handan. At the age of thirteen, Yingzheng became the king of Qin.When Qin Wang Yingzheng ascended the throne, Qin State had already annexed Ba, Shu, and Hanzhong, and set up Nanjun; east of Shangjun in the north, there were Hedong, Taiyuan, and Shangdang counties; east to Xingyang, after two weeks, Sanchuan County was placed... According to the count of ancestors A hundred years of hard work has established a political climate for Yingzheng, who hastily came to power, to win the world and a great opportunity not to be missed.Since then, Yingzheng has made far and near attacks, swept across the six countries, and wiped out the princes of the Central Plains within a few years.Yingzheng named himself the First Emperor (221 BC) and established the first unified feudal dynasty in Chinese history - the Qin Dynasty.Qin Shihuang's Yingzheng ended not only the separatism of the princes of the six countries in the simple sense, but brought an abrupt end to a loose era and created the golden age of China's feudal dynasty.

After more than ten years of annexation wars ended, the Great Qin Empire ushered in a golden age of unification, which created and established the strong survival spirit of the Chinese nation in that era.The first emperor issued an order to unify the writing, unify the weights and measures, implement the system of prefectures and counties across the country, and set up thirty-six counties to rule the world; formulate new laws and regulations to town Kyushu.At this time, while starting to develop agriculture, the First Emperor Yingzheng improved the official system and revised the law of criminal names. At the same time, he did not forget to gather the wealth of the whole country in Kyoto, build large-scale construction projects, build palaces, and repair streets.The Ji Que was built outside the Xianyang Palace, imitating the Palace of the Six Kingdoms, building the Orchid Pool, and opening the Wangyi Palace; it is planned to build a more luxurious and huge imperial palace in Lishan.Moved 100,000 wealthy households from all over the world to Xianyang to fill the capital.For a few years, the entire Great Qin Empire was full of vigor, proudly standing in Kyushu, and its power shook the world.

The Ying family has a good tradition. The ancestors are all diligent monarchs. Of course, the first emperor Yingzheng, who is full of ambition, will not neglect the government.There was nothing wrong with the government that day, but Yingzheng was very interested in calling all the civil and military officials to discuss the government affairs.He wears the emperor's crown on his head, has a ruddy complexion, wears a red flower gown with a black background, and a dragon jade belt around his waist, which makes him look more graceful and luxurious.With python boots on and fluttering sleeves, Yingzheng strolled up to Danchi to receive congratulations from all the officials.After the court ceremony, the first emperor will naturally have an edict, which is nothing more than the unification of the world, how to effectively stabilize the Great Qin State, prevent the nobles of the old country from waiting for an opportunity to rebel, and those Guizhou leaders who don't know the truth are fueling the flames...

Li Sigong was scheming and thought it was mediocrity, so he tried to figure out what the emperor was thinking, and went out to play flatteringly: "Your Majesty, why don't you visit the southern border, where is the old land of Wuyue, where the green fields are green and the flowers are blooming in early spring." At that time, His Majesty was tired of working hard and being king, so he could take advantage of this time to relax and appease the border people of the southern country, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone." Li Si's performance is catering to Yingzheng's nature, it is time to travel to Gusu, Kuaiji and other places, the beauties there are famous all over the world, you can choose some to bring back to enrich Efang.Just as Ying Zheng was about to make a decision on this matter, he heard a report from outside the court: a alchemist named Lu Sheng was going to meet the first emperor, and said that he had found the medicine of immortality.This sounds pleasing to the ear, as long as you can live forever, why worry about beautiful women.At this moment, Yingzheng was not in the mood to agree on the memorial, and was about to announce that he would come to see him, when he suddenly heard someone shouting outside the palace gate: "The border is urgent, the Huns have been harassing the border recently, plundering the people and livestock on the border of our Great Qin, and robbing the prefectures and counties. Forcing Jiuyuan City.Ying Zheng heard the urgent report, so he had to take the border urgent report sent by Zhao Gao and read it quickly.Ying Zheng was born with such a restraint ability, thinking that the technique of immortality is not urgent after all, so he asked Zhao Gaoxian to arrange that alchemist elsewhere, and it will not be announced today...

The frontier customs urgently reported that the Xiongnu took advantage of the drought and drought in the spring to attack from all directions, causing turmoil and turmoil.Yingzheng thought to himself: The clan of the Qin State was originally also in the Western Regions, and they were called the Rongdi clan.For hundreds of years, our ancestors of the Great Qin fought fiercely with the Huns, Wuhuan, Di, Qiang, Yiqurong and other tribes for many times.Although Jianfeng pointed out that he was invincible during this period, he was also humiliated.Nowadays, building a city to resist the enemy outside the quicksand fortress begins in the midst of thousands of difficulties, and only when you expand the land thousands of miles away can you be in an invincible position.How hard-earned is my great Qin territory and grand plan today.However, the Xiongnu took advantage of our unification of the six kingdoms of the Central Plains and had no time to look west. They quietly coveted our land, occupied our Henan land, and harassed Jiuyuan, an important town in the west of Beihe. It is really hateful!Thinking of this, Ying Zheng said sternly: "The disaster of the Huns has lasted for a long time. What good strategies do you have?" Meng Yi was about to claim his interests, when Minister Yao Jia stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the Xiongnu, Wuhuan and other tribes are indeed barbarians from the West Rong, so there is nothing to worry about. Because they have lived in a cold and dry place for a long time, it is not suitable for farming, so it is not suitable for people. This place is actually a useless place abandoned by our great Qin ancestors, so we built a city and a wall to resist the Huns. I think that we only need to defend the Jitou Mountain, the old fortress of the old city, and there is no need to go to war with the Huns. .” Hearing what Yao Jia said, Ying Zheng thought it was true.The Great Qin Empire seemed to have a strong military, but they didn't know that they had been fighting in the Central Plains for many years, and had gradually neglected the quicksand and Gobi warfare methods used to deal with the armies of the Western Regions.Yingzheng didn't respond to Yao Jia's suggestion in time, because he was thinking about the alchemist, and it was common for the Huns to harass the border, so it's okay not to send troops for a while.Then he thought of retreating from the court, and said: "It seems that waiting for border reports is really normal, take a step back, what do the ministers think?" Meng Yi was so anxious that he remembered again that his friend Ren Xiao, the governor of Jiuyuan County, complained to him about the suffering of the Huns. , So he hurriedly went out to play and said: "Jiuyuan is thousands of miles away, and the borderline situation is difficult to be sure for a while. The minister Mengyi has his own play. I suggest that your majesty should drive Beishou. First, you can understand the truth, and second, you can also frighten the Huns. In order to promote the prestige of our Great Qin State. Please think twice, Your Majesty." Prime Minister Li Si thought, I am south and you want to go north, complaining about Meng Yi's troublesome things, so he said anxiously: "Your Majesty must not be tempted to hunt north. I think my Great Qin Empire is ten thousand times. Your Majesty is the Holy Emperor of the Kingdom of Heaven, how can you just walk around in the wilderness, and lose your status." Yingzheng was hesitating in his heart, when the son helped Su Qia, he said: "The prime minister's words are wrong. The father always cherishes every inch of Qin. Land. Even though the barren land is inconvenient to cultivate, the animal husbandry is definitely not bad. How can it be said that it has lost the supremacy of the great country? Yesterday, my son obtained a prophecy in front of a fortune-telling stall on a busy street, and asked my father to check it..." Zhao Gao hurriedly presented it , Yingzheng browsed quickly, and saw the letter: "The one who died in Qin, Hu Ye!" There is also a popular ballad among the Huns below: Mobei Grassland, the hometown of the clan; with my great army from the Western Regions, step into the Qin Kingdom, and drink the Weihe River! "Ah!" The First Emperor was shocked, got up angrily, and said, "Decree, I want to hunt north in person, but I want to see what the Huns can do to me! Retire." Li Si and others wanted to stop it before it was too late .The first emperor left the palace surrounded by Zhao Gao and others. At this time, the Hun Tamsun Shanyu died, and was passed down to his eldest son Zuoxian King Daihuluda, who was called Touman Shanyu at that time.Touman Shanyu has a neutral personality and is good at judging from both sides. After several years of unremitting efforts, he finally stabilized his position and basically controlled the princes and nobles.In the early winter of this year, the tribes of Yuanmu in summer returned to Moxi one after another, scattered in the mountains and deserts.People and horses are bustling, the livestock are fat and strong, and the horses are cruising. It is very lively inside and outside the courtyard.King Youxian built a city in the Tengger area, robbed a large number of craftsmen and farmers, used the vast and humid land there to reclaim the fields, and assigned the Huns to learn to grow wheat, barley, and sorghum, and gained a lot.So many warehouses were built to store grain and grass.The warehouse was not full, so he ordered his men to go in and out of the border of Qin Dynasty, and plunder the not so abundant food and grass there to supplement himself. Every September, the Huns will formally hold a grand meeting to hand over humans and animals.The Dragon Court in the False Yin Mountain was even more lively. All the subordinates came to see Touman Da Chanyu with dedicated horses and livestock.Among them are the beauties presented by various tribes.For a while, the balm coagulated into the tent, and the beauty was like weaving.And none of these beauties can satisfy Touman, he is waiting for a woman who is enough to fall into his arms, that is the offering from the Xiti Huns.The Xiti Huns lived in the snow-covered plateau for a long time, near the Altai Mountain of the Sun.The climate there is humid and the water plants are abundant.Compared with the Xiongnu women in False Yin Mountain, Daxing'an Mountains, Chabu Grassland, Tengger, and Shuofang, their skin is particularly delicate and smooth, as white as snow; their noses are pointed, their eyes are green like agate, and their hair is dark yellow.Loved by the Xiongnu tribe, it is determined that they can only intermarry with the Xiongnu nobles, and have long been regarded as the most noble blood. There is a reason why King Xitixiutu has not arrived for a long time.When Tamsun Shanyu was in power, the Xiti Xiongnu lived in an important position in the southwest of Hexi, the Wusun, Di and Qiang were plotting against the law in the west, and the Da Yue clan barbarians were eyeing them in the northeast, and they were likely to be encroached by the three tribes.After ten days of delay, the Hun tribe in Xiti went through all kinds of hardships, and finally sent the beautiful Gulitan family.Touman Chanyu was both happy and excited, smiling from ear to ear. It was only at night that he found the bride, Gu Lite, crying silently under the candle.Touman Shanyu asked in amazement: "My darling, aren't you happy to marry me?" Gu Lite hurriedly shook her head: "Noble Da Shanyu, of course I am happy to marry you. I am also protected by you. My people are not so lucky. They live in fear all day long. As a daughter, how can I be your Yan family with peace of mind?" So he mentioned the dangers that the Xiongnu are currently facing. Talk to Touman.Touman Shanyu fell into deep thought.It turns out that the tribes of Wusun, Di, Qiang, and Dayue clan have grown stronger in recent years, and they do have the ambition to encroach on the Xiti Xiongnu.If Touman Chanyu wanted to lead his troops to attack these three tribes, although he could win, he would have to cross the territories of several other tribes, which would definitely cause a lot of trouble.Therefore, Touman Chanyu discussed with King Youxian and other ministers, and finally decided to let King Xitixiutu lead his troops to move south to Liusha and Yanzhi Mountain west of Beiyi Mountain, from southwest to north.This gave the Xiti Huns absolute room for movement. A few years later, the old King Xiutu died of illness, and the young King Xiutu succeeded to the throne.He is a guy who is not satisfied with the status quo. He led his troops across the Beiyi Mountains and Canyons, built good ships, crossed the Yellow River eastward, and gradually spread to the entire Henan area like a tide, and gradually gained a firm foothold.So, it turned to the south and approached Jitou Mountain.This is what the first emperor Yingzheng saw when he stood on Jitou Mountain in the twenty-seventh year of the first emperor.This is something. The first emperor wanted to hunt in the north, which was an earth-shattering event.The first emperor ordered the Qin Tianjian to watch the sky at night and divination good or bad luck; he also recruited seventy-two doctors to inquire about the relevant matters of the tour, and he wanted to find a reason for his "northern hunting".Sure enough, one of the old doctors got his brains straightened out and said: "The first emperor obeyed the will of heaven, and he won the popularity of the people. He calmed down the sea, and everyone in the world obeyed him. Today, the barbarians have initially settled down, but the northern Rongdi didn't know what to do. He also closed his eyes and closed his ears, and did not hear the power of our celestial dynasty. The Emperor Beishou, with a great reputation, will definitely make the Huns look intimidated, begging for a way to welcome him, and paying tribute to him is a fixed number." Hearing this, the first emperor was very happy: " What the doctor said is very true, you can send thirty-six friends to accompany you on the chariot." "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!" The doctor bowed to thank him for this honor, and stepped back to one side.Only Meng Yi, Li Si and other ministers thought that this statement was a lot of exaggeration and flashy.Helpless, the First Emperor loved to listen, and he would cater to the Holy Majesty's wishes.The first emperor always liked to talk about things that cast his temper.Knowing that persuasion is useless, all the ministers know this, who is willing to take the risk of losing their heads.It doesn't matter to Meng Yi, as long as he can persuade the first emperor to go north, he can solve the crisis of his friends, and more importantly, ensure the long-term stability of northern Xinjiang. On the contrary, Li Si is different.Firstly, I am old, occupying a high position in the court, commanding the wind and rain, walking at the pinnacle of power and glory, but thinking of caring for the rest of my life; secondly, accompanying the emperor to go out on tour in peacetime, is also the result of years of hard work in the king's office. For a vacation, of course, you have to choose Jiangnan with beautiful mountains and rivers for recreation.Li Si was dissatisfied with Meng Yi who wanted to spoil a beautiful event. The route chosen by the first emperor was to go northeast from Ganquan Palace, cross Longmen, go up Ziwu Ridge, to Shangjun, then turn to the north, and finally cross the Yellow River to reach Jiuyuan. On that day, the first emperor wore a black brocade robe and gown, and a red gold tasseled emperor crown on his head.Use black flags to celebrate the festival.All black horses drive six chariots, six spare chariots, and thirty-six carts in front of the road, plus six thousand horseshoes of the tiger and cardinal army, and hundreds of ministers and accompanying eunuchs, forming a mighty A large-scale northern hunting team marched on the Longdong Plateau, which was extremely spectacular.Along the way, the imperial chariot of the first emperor was so powerful that it had already alarmed a large number of Xiti Xiongnu tribes who settled in Henan.They fled to the west of the Yellow River one after another, surrounded the city of King Xitixiutu, and declared that the Qin army was coming.King Xitixiutu was surprised and sent people across the river to find out the real situation, and found that there was no Qin army in Henan, which was strange.So the daring spies walked quietly along the empty official road, secretly followed Shihuang's Beishou brigade, walked for nearly five days and five nights, and then returned to the west foot of Beiyi Mountain, and reported to the West Tixiutu King. The matter of Shihuang's Beishou team, but reported another major matter related to the Huns, and in this matter, a caravan of merchants and the Beishou team that did go to Jiuyuan County, there are What kind of relationship, first press the table.Let’s say that Ren Xiao, the prefect of Jiuyuan County, recently encountered a very difficult incident that made him very annoyed: the Xiongnu Zuo Daguli King who was stationed opposite Jiuyuan County lost a streaky horse, and insisted that it was Ren Xiao’s. His subordinate Zhao Yuan was detained at the military horse farm.Many people wondered, and some even suspected that there were traitors inside the Qin army.Zhao Yuan firmly denied that Wuhuama was in his barracks.It wasn't until King Zuo Daguli sent troops to attack that Zhao Yuan panicked and sent for help, but the matter was hopeless.For this lovely five-flowered horse, King Zuo Daguli personally ordered his men to plunder the farmers and herdsmen in the Qin border. This matter was reported to Ren Xiao, the prefect of Jiuyuan County, who was so angry that he dismissed Zhao Yuan for investigation, and Zhao Yuan was still secretly looking for who had leaked the news about Wuhuama to the Huns.Ren Xiao said bitterly: "You are stupid! Grassland shepherds have herded for generations, and everyone has a set of skills to find the traces of livestock. Not to mention a streaky horse, even a rabbit, they can still find the traces. !" Ren Xiao was thinking of a way to repel the enemy, he sent an envoy to King Zuo Dagu Li, and promised to release his horse, but there was a condition: "It must disappear from the opposite side of Jiuyuan County immediately." King Zuo Dagu Li snorted Laughed, and said: "It's too late, old white-haired man, I don't want the five-flowered horse, I want your Jiuyuan City!" After seeing the photos, Ren Xiao's nose was almost crooked, so he had to concentrate his forces to step up The defense of Jiuyuan City.At the same time, they also organized young and strong peasants to assist the defenders in defense; organized women to weave wool, knit sweaters, wool socks, and sew leather quilts, leather boots, and felt boots; Mentioning Ren Xiao is really hard work.Because of his poor family, he couldn't afford to go to school when he was twenty years old, so he had to work as a errand in the Neishi Mansion, which lasted another twenty years.In his forties, he has become close friends with Meng Yi, who has just entered the mansion and is only nineteen years old.This Meng Yi is the brother of General Meng Tian, ​​Ren Xiao's status is so low, he is just a servant, and he became good friends with the second son of a general's family, this is unimaginable.Not only that, but Meng Yi would often bring gifts to visit Ren Xiao's mother at home, which made the old man very excited, and kept saying, "His father died early, and it was my old lady who dragged Ren Xiao down, making him even go to school. I can't get in." Meng Yi said: "It doesn't matter, you can learn it now!" Ren Xiao said dejectedly: "Who will teach me? You are at such an age!" Meng Yi said confidently: "I have a way. I'll take you to meet my teacher tomorrow..." In this way, the two of them became good friends and classmates like brothers due to the age difference. Two years later, Mr. Ren Xiaojing gave instructions, or rather, it was taught by Meng Yi with full authority. He made rapid progress. He not only learned the laws and regulations, but also learned a lot of knowledge and principles of life because of his culture.What is especially valuable is that he first learned about astronomical phenomena and geography, and even dabbled in the principles of art of war and strategy, which made him a self-taught man and was well-known in the court.At first Li Si was not convinced, so he sent Ren Xiao to a small county outside Xianyang, but he found that Ren Xiao was indeed talented enough to serve as an official, so he sent Ren Xiao to Jiuyuan to serve.However, the busiest and most annoying thing about Jiuyuan County Guard is the frontier.It seems that the Huns don't sleep during the day and night, and make trouble with you whenever they see an opportunity.Therefore, for several years, no one in Jiuyuan County was willing to rotate, so Li Si had no choice but to further promote Ren Xiao and let him do it.Ren Xiao had nothing to do with him, and he had no connections. When he went to Jiuyuan, he had to take his old mother with him, intending to take root in the frontier. This "five-flowered horse incident" is purely accidental, and it is also an event that should not have happened.King Xitixiutu occupied Henan land, and he was interested in the wet and slightly saline-alkali-eroded land near the Yellow River, which was land that could be cultivated.Therefore, no restrictive measures have been taken for the original residents there, but I hope that my tribe and slaves can learn farming from others and live a settled life.Ren Xiao was stationed on the north bank of the Yellow River. Seeing the changes on the south bank of the Yellow River, he knew that Jiuyuan County was far away in the northwestern border of Qin State.And just at this time, the "five-flowered horse incident" happened... It was later proved that this was all provocative behavior of King Zuo Daguli.King Zuo Dagu Li deliberately adopted the strategy of plundering farming without telling You Xianwang, in order to completely stir up the people of Qin to revolt, so that they could not see hope and be protected by the court, and further disintegrate the people of Qin psychologically.King Zuo Daguli also sent someone to inform King Xitixiutu, who was located west of the Kuahe River in Henan Province, to let him patrol back and forth in the Henan Province on the opposite bank, specifically to put psychological pressure on Ren Xiao in Jiuyuan County.When necessary, he will also assist King Zuo Daguli in conquering Jiuyuan City. Ren Xiao, who had already received the first emperor's request for Beishou express, was about to travel 30 miles east to meet the emperor's royal driver, when suddenly it was reported that the barbarians invaded the border again, and the enemy's situation was already raging.Ren Xiao had no choice but to grit his teeth and order the troops to quickly meet the enemy and protect his family against the enemy.On the horse, Ren Xiao clasped his fists towards the east, and said with a sad expression: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I'm sorry I can't go to meet you. Drive—" The horse team raised a cloud of dust, and Ren Xiao led the team to the enemy. . The royal chariot was traveling all the way, and everywhere in Jiuyuan County, apart from the majestic and majestic Yinshan Mountain, the villages below the mountain were dilapidated, and the fields and weeds were blurred, which was unsightly.The First Emperor was not aware of Ren Xiao's situation, but at this moment he was thinking secretly in the car: Ren Xiao's ability is very poor, how can he be called a good official in the world. Meng Yi and Li Si each rode a thousand-mile horse and waited on the side of the dragon chariot.Deep in Li Si's heart, he couldn't help feeling complacent, and concluded that Ren Xiao would definitely be reprimanded by the emperor.Meng Yi remained silent, but his heart was bright.Li Si deliberately wanted to embarrass Meng Yi and sent his friend Ren Xiao to prison for questioning, so he deliberately said to the emperor: "This Ren Xiao is the same. He thinks the sky is high and the emperor is far away. It is because people’s lives are dying. It seems that many people’s homes have been locked and their houses are empty.” According to Qin’s law, there were too many escapees in this jurisdiction, and local officials could not escape responsibility. The First Emperor didn't say anything, he glanced forward, and said loudly: "Why didn't Ren Xiao come to pick him up?" Meng Yi was silent, but Li Si became more serious, and when he was about to add more fire, he saw a Qi came to report: "Your Majesty, there is no one in Jiuyuan City. The doorman said that the barbarian invaded, and Ren Taishou has led his troops to meet it." Shihuang pondered for a long time: "It seems that I have wronged Ren Xiao. Meng Yi , do you think it is possible to divide the troops to help Ren Xiao?" Although Shi Huang was arrogant, violent, and mad, he was not at all confused when it comes to major issues, and he did not lack the demeanor of a wise monarch.Meng Yi was overjoyed when he heard that: "Your Majesty is wise." After speaking, he ordered loudly: "The Huben Army obeys the order! Leave 3,000 people as guards, and the remaining 3,000 people rushed to meet the enemy and serve as reinforcements." Three thousand Tigers Ben The army was ordered to blow away like a whirlwind.The first emperor ordered the four windows of the chariot to be opened, and his feet urged him to go.At this moment, he was more anxious than anyone else.Li Siben was full of anger, and he had to keep blaming Meng Yi: "Your Majesty is the king of ten thousand chariots, and safety is more important than Mount Tai. If something goes wrong with Your Majesty, Meng Yi, you have grown a few heads..." "Prime Minister Li, in your opinion, isn't Meng Yi for my country? Isn't it true that Ren Xiao and the border guards are serving Jiuyuan?" The first emperor's words made Li Si speechless. The phoenix chariot and the dragon chariot obeyed the first emperor's order and immediately diverted to the northwest.The avenue rolls up dust, covering the sky and the sun.The Hu people's large-scale plundering this time coincided with the early spring, when everything was green and yellow, and everything was exhausted.Of course, the northern prairie has always been like this, most afraid of drought and little rain.The Huns don't have to do this kind of robbery. If there is plenty of rain and lush vegetation, who would want to be a villain?Therefore, at this time of year, there will be a large-scale robbery.Meng Yi calculated the time very accurately, with only one purpose, and that was to let Shi Huang personally feel what it was like to be robbed by the Huns.Clever courtiers are always good at seizing the opportunity. Li Si knew that Meng Yi was very resourceful, and he also knew that this matter was good, but he just felt very uncomfortable.Only he and the emperor have the final say on court affairs, and any minister's self-assertion is a provocative act to his prime minister status.
