Chapter 172
Itching!
It was really itching!
As a military general, who doesn't want to do a few earth-shattering things?
And in Great Qin today, the Six States have been destroyed, and the only foreign enemies left are the Baiyue and the Xiongnu!
Now, the Xiongnu are being destroyed, which military general doesn't want to participate?
Especially since Wang Wang Jian has already participated, making Meng Wu even more restless.
He really wanted to fight!
But still the same sentence, conflicted, conflicted to death!
And compared to Meng Wu's conflict, Wang Ben was much more straightforward: "Reinforce, must reinforce. As a military general of Great Qin, if one doesn't even participate in the major event of destroying the Xiongnu, then one is unworthy of being a military general!"
He shouted.
However, neither Meng Wu nor Meng Tian paid any attention to Wang Ben!
Wang Wang Jian had already participated in this battle, and Wang Ben's butt was sitting where it was, even a blind person could see it clearly.
Therefore, it was impossible to listen to Wang Ben's opinion on this matter.
Not only could they not listen to Wang Ben's opinion, but they couldn't let him hear the following conversation!
Meng Wu and Meng Tian both understood this truth, so they found an excuse to send Wang Ben away.
They and the eldest son Prince Fusu began to discuss this matter!
Meng Wu said: "Whether to send a large army should depend on how likely Ying Su is to destroy the Xiongnu!"
"If he can really destroy the Xiongnu, then... this battle must send a large army!"
"If not sent, then once Ying Su really destroys the Xiongnu, Ying Su's throne will become more stable, which is extremely unfavorable to the eldest son!"
"If a large army is sent, then... the eldest son can add a stroke to the credit of destroying the Xiongnu!"
Meng Tian nodded and said: "Father's words make sense, but there is another problem, that is... can this battle really be won?"
"If there is Li Li Yuanba, then... relying on Li Li Yuanba's combat power, destroying the Xiongnu might just be a matter of time!"
"But now... all the experts in the world have rushed to the Xiongnu to kill Li Li Yuanba. Can this Xiongnu still be destroyed successfully?"
Meng Wu said: "Therefore, we must watch now!"
"If all the experts in the world succeed in killing Li Li Yuanba, then we don't need to send troops, because without Li Li Yuanba, just relying on Wang Wang Jian and Han Xin's one hundred thousand troops to destroy the Xiongnu is almost impossible!"
"Then we... just sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight?"
He said, looking at Meng Tian and Prince Fusu: "What does the eldest son think?"
Prince Fusu frowned tightly: "First of all, I don't support destroying the Xiongnu, because... the Xiongnu have nearly six million people. If we destroy the Xiongnu, does it mean these six million people will all be killed?"
"This is really harmful to the harmony of heaven!"
"Secondly, I support killing Li Li Yuanba. If Li Li Yuanba dies, the Xiongnu will have fewer people die, and Great Qin and the Xiongnu being on good terms for generations is a plan for long-term peace and stability!"
"Li Li Yuanba being alive is really too harmful to the relationship between Great Qin and the Xiongnu!"
"And for the sake of Great Qin and the Xiongnu being on good terms for generations, I still insist on sending troops to help the Xiongnu kill Li Li Yuanba!"
"What?"
Once the words were out, Meng Wu and Meng Tian felt their scalps go numb.
At this very moment, the two had a splitting headache!
Meng Tian pondered for a long time and said: "The Prince has seen Li Li Yuanba's terrifying combat power with his own eyes!"
"He can slaughter Xiang Yu's three hundred and fifty thousand troops alone, and can kill six hundred thousand Xiongnu people alone!"
"Under such terrifying and unparalleled combat power, may I ask the Prince, how many people will we have to die to kill Li Li Yuanba with our five hundred and sixty thousand people?"
"The Xiongnu kill Li Li Yuanba, and the ones who die are the Xiongnu!"
"And if we kill Li Li Yuanba, the ones who die will all be our Qin army, the most loyal troops to the eldest son!"
"Dying so many people, doesn't the eldest son feel heartache?"
"This..."
Prince Fusu was silent.
But after pondering for a long time, he still nodded: "Must kill Li Li Yuanba!"
"Why!"
"Why!"
Meng Tian and Meng Wu were both stunned!
Prince Fusu said: "All the experts in the world and five hundred and sixty thousand people are killing Li Li Yuanba together, and there are also Xiongnu people. In this case, Li Li Yuanba cannot kill so many people!"
As soon as these words came out, Meng Wu's eyes instantly lit up:
"If we can really kill Li Li Yuanba, then... Ying Su's war to destroy the Xiongnu will inevitably fail!"
"After he fails, it will cause a huge backlash; the nobles, the Baiyue, and the Xiongnu will all join forces to attack Ying Su!"
"In this way, his throne might be overthrown!"
"And once he is overthrown, then... the eldest son is the only legitimate successor!"
The more Meng Wu said, the brighter his eyes became!
And Meng Tian trembled: "Father means... to send five hundred and sixty thousand troops to kill Li Li Yuanba?"
He was shocked, swallowing hard!
Meng Wu frowned tightly, at this very moment, incomparably hesitant, incomparably struggling.
Because... this is a war with the blade turned inward!
This is a war with the blade turned inward!
After a while, he waved his hand: "Discuss this matter later, discuss this matter later!"
Meng Tian said: "Father, the wisest way now is to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight!"
"Only by sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers can we be the most secure!"
"If they succeed in killing Li Li Yuanba, we will help Han Xin and Wang Wang Jian retreat. In this way, the Xiongnu will be wary of us and will not dare to pursue!"
"If they fail to kill Li Li Yuanba, we will send troops to reinforce Han Xin and Wang Wang Jian. In this way, we will have a great credit for destroying the Xiongnu!"
While speaking, he pressed Meng Wu's arm hard!
Because... he felt that the current Meng Wu was already a bit crazy!
But this can't blame Meng Wu; it's mainly because the situation is changing too fast!
Before, they could stabilize, because everyone believed that the eldest son Prince Fusu would definitely inherit the throne!
But Ying Su's rebellion and claiming the throne broke all this!
If he just rebelled, that would be fine, but he also had a fierce man like Li Li Yuanba in his hands!
A peerless fierce man who can slaughter hundreds of thousands of troops with a move!
With such a fierce man by his side, even fierce generals like Meng Wu and Meng Tian are not enough to look at!
Even with hundreds of thousands of troops in hand, there is no sense of security at all!
This is simply more terrifying than the supreme imperial power!
It makes people even more panicked!
In panic, it is easy to make outrageous things!
This has nothing to do with loyalty or disloyalty, but concerns personal interests!
If the eldest son Prince Fusu cannot inherit the throne, for the Meng family, it is almost no less than a disaster!
At this life-and-death juncture, making any outrageous decision is human nature!
Fortunately, Meng Wu was still relatively rational. He pondered for a long time and nodded to Meng Tian: "Temporarily follow what you said, but... the army cannot be stationed in Taiyuan!"
"Must go to the Great Wall!"
"Hmm!"
"The army moves first, and I will immediately write a memorial to the First Emperor!"
After Meng Wu finished speaking, he left immediately!
A month later, the army had been transferred to the Great Wall!
Five hundred and sixty thousand troops, all stationed at the Great Wall!
This is not only a deterrent to the Xiongnu.
For Han Xin and Wang Wang Jian, it is also a deterrent!
"You say... Meng Wu's five hundred and sixty thousand troops are not in Taiyuan, but at the Great Wall. What does he want to do?"
Wang Wang Jian asked Han Xin!
