"Therefore, I am prepared to take these five hundred and sixty thousand troops together to the Xiongnu and kill Li Li Yuanba!"

100, Madman Li Li Yuanba, slaughtering one million Xiongnu!

"What?"

"Taking five hundred and sixty thousand troops together to the Xiongnu to kill Li Li Yuanba?"

Once the words were out, Wang Ben was simply stunned!

Meng Wu and Meng Tian were equally shocked!

But without any hesitation, they bowed directly to Prince Fusu: "Prince! No! You cannot!"

Prince Fusu was angry: "Why not!"

Wang Ben swallowed his saliva:

"Li Li Yuanba, no matter how cruel, is still a Qin person and is fighting for our Qin State. How can we help foreigners kill our own Qin people?"

"Moreover, Li Li Yuanba first killed three hundred and fifty thousand rebels, then killed six hundred thousand Xiongnu people. Now, he is a hero in the hearts of many!"

Prince Fusu was angry: "He is a Qin person, it's true, but can't a cruel Qin person be killed?"

"Kill foreigners?"

"Should killing so many foreigners be something to be proud of? What about foreigners?"

"The teachings of the sages say that a monarch should govern the world with benevolence and virtue. Li Li Yuanba is so cruel, how can he be called benevolent?"

"Ying Su uses this person so heavily, how can he be a benevolent monarch?"

"Ying Su is without virtue, without the Dao, and does not listen to the teachings of the sages. I am his brother, and I feel deeply ashamed. I wrote to him, but he didn't listen to my advice. I wrote to my father, and he replied with 'scram'!"

"This person is cruel; if I don't kill him, how can I be worthy of the teachings of the sages?"

Prince Fusu said angrily.

These words directly left Wang Ben not knowing how to persuade him!

But even if he didn't know how to persuade him, he had to!

You must know that his father is now the Right General for destroying the Xiongnu.

And now, Prince Fusu wants to take five hundred thousand troops to fight Li Li Yuanba. How can this be done?

He opened his mouth, wanting to persuade him again.

But Prince Fusu waved his hand: "I have made up my mind; I must kill Li Li Yuanba and remove this scourge for the world!"

He said angrily.

And seeing his attitude so firm, Wang Ben felt his scalp go numb!

Meng Tian also felt his scalp go numb!

He admitted that he wanted to push Ying Su down and also wanted to push Prince Fusu up!

However... sending five hundred thousand troops to fight Li Li Yuanba while Li Li Yuanba is going to destroy the Xiongnu?

And, still joining forces with the Xiongnu?

Isn't this helping the Xiongnu?

Meng Tian frowned deeply. At this very moment, he wanted to persuade him, but he didn't know how to persuade him either!

And at the critical moment, Meng Wu stood out!

He was an old general after all, and his mind was very active. With just one sentence, he persuaded Prince Fusu:

"Prince, without the First Emperor's order, you cannot mobilize troops privately!"

"Ah?"

Once the words were out, Prince Fusu was stunned.

Meng Tian's eyes also lit up, and he bowed to Prince Fusu: "Prince, without the First Emperor's order, the army cannot be mobilized at will!"

He spoke, feeling especially excited at this moment!

That's right!

First Emperor's order!

If this sentence were said in front of Ying Su, Ying Su might not even pay attention to it.

He might even say that a general in the field is not bound by the orders of the sovereign!

However... this sentence had a fatal lethality to Prince Fusu!

I remember when he learned that Ying Su had rebelled, he had advised Prince Fusu to clear the monarch's side, let him eliminate Ying Su, and respectfully welcome the First Emperor, but Prince Fusu said!

"Sixth brother Ying Su rebelling is considered unfaithful and unfilial, but if I mobilize troops to Xianyang without my father's order, how would that not be unfaithful and unfilial?"

"Ah?"

"But... but... the Sixth Prince is rebelling!"

Meng Tian said anxiously.

Prince Fusu said: "Mobilizing troops privately without an order is rebellion. I will not send these troops!"

"But but..."

Meng Tian was anxious, but... no matter how he persuaded him, Prince Fusu refused to send troops!

And he stated clearly that without his father's order, he would not send troops!

This one sentence directly left Meng Tian speechless!

It directly made his idea of leading an army back to Xianyang City to push Ying Su off the throne disappear.

And now, Meng Wu's words were indeed useful!

Just after Meng Wu said this, Prince Fusu, who was originally incomparably angry and determined, instantly wilted!

"But... Father loves Li Li Yuanba so much, how could he be willing to kill Li Li Yuanba?"

He sighed.

And Meng Wu and Meng Tian were overjoyed, bowing to Prince Fusu: "Without the Emperor's order, the army cannot be mobilized at all!"

"Could it be... could it be... that we can't persuade Father?"

Prince Fusu had a headache, and at this very moment, he actually wanted to write a letter to Ying Zheng.

But this scene was stopped by Meng Wu and Meng Tian immediately: "Prince, this move is futile!"

"His Majesty cannot kill Li Li Yuanba!"

"Now, we should discuss another matter!"

"That is... whether we should send twenty thousand troops to assist Han Xin and Wang Wang Jian's army in destroying the Xiongnu!"

Once the words were out, Prince Fusu was shocked:

"What?"

"You stop me from killing Li Li Yuanba, and you also want me to send troops to destroy the Xiongnu?"

Meng Wu bowed and said: "When we were rushing from Neishi to this place, we received the Emperor's edict, asking us to act according to the situation, and if the strength is sufficient, we can fully assist Wang Wang Jian and Han Xin!"

"Now, I am worrying about this matter!"

"Whether to send troops or not!"

"Now Han Xin and Wang Wang Jian's army has arrived at the Great Wall, and it is estimated that they will start a war with the Xiongnu soon!"

"Should we reinforce them?"

Meng Wu said.

At this very moment, to be honest, he also had a headache!

Although the First Emperor's edict was not very clear, and did not explicitly propose to reinforce Wang Wang Jian and Han Xin.

However... according to his understanding of the First Emperor, the First Emperor Ying Zheng wanted to reinforce them!

Since he wanted to reinforce them, why didn't he say it directly?

Because Ying Zheng was also very conflicted; on one hand, it was the major event of destroying the Xiongnu, and on the other hand, it was the throne!

If Wang Wang Jian and Han Xin really destroyed the Xiongnu, there is no doubt that Ying Su's throne would be too stable, which is not what the First Emperor Ying Zheng wants to see!

But if he didn't send reinforcements, regardless of whether Wang Wang Jian and Han Xin failed or succeeded, it was not what Ying Zheng wanted to see. If they failed, it would damage the country; if they succeeded, it would damage his own throne.

Ying Zheng was incomparably conflicted about this matter.

Therefore, he issued such an unclear edict.

And Meng Wu was equally conflicted about this matter!

If he reinforced them, and Wang Wang Jian and Han Xin really succeeded, then this throne would have nothing to do with Prince Fusu!

The major event of destroying the Xiongnu was accomplished by Ying Su, so his throne would be too stable, and no one could shake it!

Not reinforce?
