Chapter 204

Itching with desire!

It truly is an unbearable itch!

As a martial general, who does not wish to accomplish a few magnificent, earth-shattering deeds?

And now, in the great Qin, the six states have been destroyed, and the only foreign enemies remaining are the Baiyue and the Xiongnu!

Now that the Xiongnu are to be destroyed, which martial general does not wish to participate?

Especially since Wang Jian has already participated, it made Meng Wu even more restless.

He really wanted to fight!

But still, the same words apply: conflicted, utterly conflicted to death!

And compared to Meng Wu's conflict, Wang Ben was much more decisive: "Reinforcements, reinforcements are a must! As a Qin general, if one does not even participate in the great matter of destroying the Xiongnu, then one is unworthy of being a general!"

He shouted.

However, neither Meng Wu nor General Meng Tian paid any attention to Wang Ben!

Since Wang Jian has already participated in this battle, where Wang Ben's loyalties lie is clear even to a blind man.

Therefore, it is impossible to listen to Wang Ben's opinion on this matter.

Not only must they not listen to Wang Ben's opinion, but they must also prevent him from hearing the conversation that follows!

Meng Wu and General Meng Tian both understood this principle, so they found an excuse to send Wang Ben away.

They began to discuss this matter with the Eldest Young Master Prince Prince Fusu!

Meng Wu said, "Whether to dispatch a large army should depend on how likely Facing Ying Su is to destroy the Xiongnu!"

"If the Xiongnu can truly be destroyed, then... a large army must be dispatched for this battle!"

"If no army is dispatched, then once Facing Ying Su truly destroys the Xiongnu, his imperial position will become even more secure, which is extremely disadvantageous to the Eldest Young Master!"

"If a large army is dispatched, then... the Eldest Young Master can add a stroke to his merit against the Xiongnu!"

General Meng Tian nodded and said, "Father speaks with reason, but there is still one question: can this battle truly be won?"

"If Li Yuanba is present, then... relying on Li Yuanba's combat power, destroying the Xiongnu may be only a matter of time!"

"But now... experts from all under heaven have rushed to the Xiongnu to kill Li Yuanba. Can the Xiongnu still be successfully destroyed?"

Meng Wu said, "Therefore, what we must do now is wait and see!"

"If the experts from all under heaven succeed in killing Li Yuanba, then we need not dispatch an army, because without Li Yuanba, relying solely on Wang Jian and Han Xin's hundred thousand troops to destroy the Xiongnu is truly almost impossible!"

"Then we... will sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight?"

He spoke, looking at General Meng Tian while also looking at Prince Prince Fusu: "What is the Eldest Young Master's opinion?"

Prince Prince Fusu frowned tightly and said, "First, I do not support destroying the Xiongnu, because... the Xiongnu have nearly six million people. If the Xiongnu are destroyed, does that mean all six million people must be killed?"

"Such an act would truly harm the harmony of heaven and earth!"

"Second, I support killing Li Yuanba. If Li Yuanba dies, far fewer Xiongnu will die. The Qin and the Xiongnu have been on good terms for generations, which is a plan for long-term peace and stability!"

"As long as Li Yuanba lives, he is too damaging to the relationship between the Qin and the Xiongnu!"

"And for the sake of the Qin and the Xiongnu maintaining good relations for generations, I still insist on sending troops to assist the Xiongnu and kill Li Yuanba!"

"What?"

The moment these words were spoken, Meng Wu and General Meng Tian both felt their scalps go numb.

At this very moment, both of them had splitting headaches!

General Meng Tian thought for a long time and said, "Young Master, you have personally witnessed Li Yuanba's terrifying combat power!"

"He was able to slaughter Seeing Xiang Yu's three hundred and fifty thousand troops single-handedly, and he was also able to kill six hundred thousand Xiongnu single-handedly!"

"Under such terrifying and unparalleled combat power, I ask the Young Master: if our five hundred and sixty thousand troops kill Li Yuanba, how many will die?"

"When the Xiongnu kill Li Yuanba, it is the Xiongnu who die!"

"But if we kill Li Yuanba, it will be all my Qin Army who die, the troops most loyal to the Eldest Young Master!"

"With so many deaths, does the Eldest Young Master feel no heartache?"

"This..."

Prince Prince Fusu fell silent.

But after thinking for a long time, he still nodded: "We must kill Li Yuanba!"

"Why!"

"Why indeed!"

General Meng Tian and Meng Wu were both stunned!

Prince Prince Fusu said, "Experts from all under heaven and five hundred and sixty thousand people are killing Li Yuanba together, and moreover, there are the Xiongnu people. Under these circumstances, Li Yuanba cannot kill so many people!"

Upon hearing these words, Meng Wu's eyes instantly lit up:

"If we truly succeed in killing Li Yuanba, then... Facing Ying Su's war to destroy the Xiongnu will inevitably fail!"

"After his failure, a huge backlash will occur. The nobles, the Baiyue, and the Xiongnu will all join hands to attack Facing Ying Su!"

"In this way, his imperial position might be overthrown!"

"And once he is overthrown, then... the Eldest Young Master will be the sole heir in line!"

The more Meng Wu spoke, the brighter his eyes became!

General Meng Tian, however, trembled: "Father's meaning is... to send five hundred and sixty thousand troops to kill Li Yuanba?"

He was shocked, swallowing his saliva hard!

Meng Wu, on the other hand, furrowed his brows. At this very moment, he was extremely hesitant and extremely conflicted.

Because... this is turning the blade inward!

This is a war where the blade turns inward!

After a moment, he waved his hand and said, "This matter shall be discussed again, this matter shall be discussed again!"

General Meng Tian said, "Father, the wisest course of action right now is to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight!"

"Only by sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight is the safest course of action!"

"If they succeed in killing Li Yuanba, we help Han Xin and Wang Jian retreat; thus, the Xiongnu will fear us and dare not pursue!"

"If they fail to kill Li Yuanba, we send troops to reinforce Han Xin and Wang Jian; in this way, we will share in the great merit of destroying the Xiongnu!"

As he spoke, he pressed hard on Tell Meng Wu's arm!

Because... he felt that Tell Meng Wu had become somewhat mad!

But this was not Tell Meng Wu's fault; the situation had simply changed too quickly!

Before, they could remain steady because everyone believed Young Master Prince Fusu would surely inherit the throne!

But Facing Ying Su's rebellion and proclamation as Emperor shattered all of that!

If he had merely rebelled, that would have been one thing, but he also had a fierce man like Li Yuanba in his hands!

A peerless fierce man who could slaughter hundreds of thousands of troops with a single move!

With such a fierce man by his side, even fierce generals like Tell Meng Wu and General Meng Tian were not enough to compare!

Even with hundreds of thousands of troops in hand, there was not a shred of sense of security!

This was simply more terrifying than the supreme imperial power!

It made people even more panicked!

Under panic, one easily does outrageous things!

This has nothing to do with loyalty or disloyalty; it concerns matters of vital personal interest!

If Young Master Prince Fusu cannot inherit the throne, then for the Meng family, it is almost tantamount to a calamity of drowning!

At such a life-or-death moment, making any outrageous decision is only human nature!

Fortunately, Tell Meng Wu was still somewhat rational; after pondering for a long time, he nodded to General Meng Tian: "For now, let us do as you say, but... the great army cannot be stationed at Taiyuan!"

"It must go to the Great Wall!"

"Hmm!"

"The great army moves first; I will immediately write a memorial to the throne to the First Emperor!"

After Tell Meng Wu finished speaking, he left immediately!

One month later, the great army has already been moved to the Great Wall!

Five hundred and sixty thousand troops, all stationed at the Great Wall!

This was not only a deterrent to the Xiongnu.

For Han Xin and Wang Jian, it was also a deterrent!

"You say... Tell Meng Wu's five hundred and sixty thousand troops are not at Taiyuan, but at the Great Wall; what does he want to do?"

Wang Jian asked Han Xin!
