Chapter 248

But... what about this group of people?

Meng Tian, Meng Wu, they have five hundred and sixty thousand men, just watching at Yan Sect Pass?

Is this how you guard against the Xiongnu?

You call yourselves famous generals of a generation, and this is how you do things?

The most infuriating thing is that you don't even listen to the Emperor's edict; you need to come over to help, and you refuse to accept the edict?

Chong Xin was furious, his whole body trembling and shivering.

But at this moment, he still dismounted, held the edict high, and shouted: "The Emperor's edict, the front line is in a tight spot, reinforcements are needed. Meng Tian, Meng Wu, and Prince Fusu are to immediately lead forty thousand troops to the Hulun Grassland to provide support!"

He shouted angrily, arriving at the city gate!

In normal times, they certainly wouldn't let him in!

But this is the Emperor's edict!

Even if Ying Su, this new Emperor, is not yet recognized by everyone.

But... these common soldiers still dare not provoke him!

Seeing the Emperor's edict, they opened the city gate immediately and welcomed Chong Xin!

Wang Ben ran over quickly, and the moment he saw Chong Xin, he quickly bowed: "I, Wang Ben, pay respects to the Imperial Envoy!"

"Hmm! General Wang Ben, rise quickly!"

After helping Wang Ben up, his expression became a bit kinder, and he said to Wang Ben: "Please trouble the General to inform Meng Wu, Meng Tian, and Prince Fusu that the New Emperor's personal eunuch, Chong Xin, has come to deliver the Emperor's edict. Please ask the three of them to come and accept the edict quickly!"

"This..."

Wang Ben frowned, but finally sent someone!

But... 990 just a moment later, the soldiers returned: "General Meng Tian and General Meng Wu claim to be ill, and Young Master Prince Fusu says he only accepts the Father Emperor's edict; as for others, he doesn't care!"

Chong Xin's eyes narrowed, and finally, he looked toward Wang Ben!

Wang Ben took a deep breath, and at that moment, swallowed hard!

Chong Xin nodded and said: "Please tell Meng Tian and Meng Wu again that I am the Emperor's personal eunuch, Chong Xin! I am an Imperial Envoy, and I have come with the Emperor's edict. If they do not see me, if they do not accept the edict, it is like treason!"

The messenger soldier took a deep breath and finally ran away quickly!

A moment later, the soldier returned: "General Meng Wu claims to be ill, General Meng Tian claims to be ill, and it is inconvenient to accept the edict!"

Once these words were spoken, Chong Xin's eyes immediately became ruthless: "Tell Meng Wu and Meng Tian again that this is already the Emperor's second edict. If they do not accept the order again, they will bear the consequences!"

The soldier left immediately!

A moment later, he returned and shook his head at Chong Xin!

Chong Xin said angrily: "Go again, tell them this is the Emperor's third edict. If they do not accept the order again, they will bear the consequences!"

In the blink of an eye, the soldier returned again!

Chong Xin was angry again: "Go and report again, this is the fourth edict!"

A moment later, the soldier went and returned, shaking his head at Chong Xin again!

Chong Xin gritted his teeth: "Fifth time!"

He shouted, and the soldier went again!

Just like that, back and forth, Chong Xin had the soldier report a full ten times.

Finally, the result remained the same!

Looking at the soldiers in front of him, Chong Xin began to nod: "Good, good, good! Everyone, you all saw it clearly!"

"The Emperor has issued the edict ten times, and Meng Tian and Meng Wu refuse to accept it!"

"In the laws of my Great Qin, this is already actual treason!"

"But the Emperor is benevolent and wants to give them one last chance!"

"These are the personal letters from the Emperor to Meng Wu, Meng Tian, and Prince Fusu!"

"Let them read them; I will wait here for one day!"

"After one day, if they still refuse to accept the edict, I will leave immediately!"

"Warn Meng Wu, Meng Tian, and Prince Fusu that they will bear all the consequences themselves!"

After he finished speaking, he flicked his sleeve fiercely and left directly!

Wang Ben followed closely.

Inside Yan Sect Pass!

A room!

Meng Wu, Meng Tian, and Prince Fusu were all here!

They were each looking at the letters in front of them, and for a time, they were all gloomy and said nothing!

And Meng Tian, looking at the letter in his hand, was trembling!

Because... in this letter, Ying Su's posture was truly too low.

He personally called Meng Tian elder brother, talked to him about his various heroic deeds, and finally, at the end of the letter, clearly stated the difficulties in destroying the Xiongnu, hoping that Meng Tian could lead troops over to provide support!

The content of the letter in Meng Wu's hand was similar; it was all praise for Meng Wu, his father Meng Ao, and even him, Meng Wu, and Meng Tian, saying they were all loyal officials of Great Qin, and even founding meritorious officials of Great Qin!

Without Meng Wu, Great Qin could not have unified the world!

Without Meng Tian, Great Qin could not have avoided Xiongnu harassment while unifying the world!

Meng Wu should think for the Meng family, and furthermore, at the end of the letter, he again stated the difficulties in destroying the Xiongnu, hoping that Meng Wu could lead troops over to provide support!

On the letter to Prince Fusu, Ying Su's attitude was even lower; he called him elder brother again and again, talked about their brotherhood, and finally, explained the great significance of destroying the Xiongnu again and again!

Finally, he hoped that Prince Fusu could lead troops over to kill all the Xiongnu!

"Kill all the Xiongnu?"

To be honest, the first part of the words really moved Prince Fusu!

Even... he was wondering if he was wrong to refuse the edict again and again!

But... when he saw the last line, Prince Fusu rose in a rage: "Rebellious son Ying Su, brutal Ying Su, are the Xiongnu not human? What did the Xiongnu do to him? He wants to kill all the Xiongnu?"

"What? Is it not enough for Li Li Yuanba to kill seven hundred thousand Xiongnu? He wants to kill all the Xiongnu?"

"Just for this point alone, I will not send troops!"

"When he returns from Yan Sect Pass, I will tie him up, take him to the Father Emperor, and let the Father Emperor punish him severely!"

Prince Fusu said with extreme anger.

And regarding these words, Meng Wu and Meng Tian looked at each other and shook their heads!

They all thought Prince Fusu's words were absurd!

What about the Xiongnu?

When the Xiongnu were plundering the population and supplies of the Central Plains, why didn't he say anything about the Xiongnu?

When the Xiongnu were enslaving the men of the Central Plains and treating them like pigs and dogs, why didn't he say this?

And when the Xiongnu treated the women of the Central Plains as playthings, enjoying them at night and roasting them for meat like cattle and sheep during the day, why didn't he say this?

The Xiongnu are cruel and brutal; they are simply not human!

What is wrong with destroying them?

Prince Fusu is still too benevolent, a bit too benevolent.

Although they completely disagreed with Prince Fusu's point of view, at this very moment, they still stood with Prince Fusu!

No choice!

In the entire imperial court, their Meng family had invested too much in Prince Fusu; almost the entire family's fate was staked on Prince Fusu. If Prince Fusu were finished, their Meng family would also be finished!

A new emperor, a new court; no one would be able to tolerate the old officials!

"Young Master, tell us, what should we do now?"

At this moment, Meng Wu looked toward Prince Fusu and asked!

Prince Fusu said angrily: "Do not send troops, firmly do not send troops. Even if we send troops, it would be to help the Xiongnu fight against Ying Su, but that would make us brothers kill each other, and I, Prince Fusu, absolutely do not want to see such a tragedy, so I will never send troops!"

Prince Fusu spoke.

Meng Wu and Meng Tian looked at each other again.

Before, they didn't intend to stay at Yan Sect Pass forever.

They wanted to see!

See if these Central Plains experts could kill Li Li Yuanba!

If they killed Li Li Yuanba, then the plan to destroy the Xiongnu would inevitably fail. At that time, they would cover the retreat of Han Xin's army.

After getting Han Xin over, they would take him to Xianyang City, use this incident as a fuse, and utilize the political struggle in the imperial court, as well as Ying Zheng's prestige, to overthrow Ying Su!

If they didn't kill Li Li Yuanba, then... the war to destroy the Xiongnu would likely be won, and at that time, they would rush over to share in this monstrous military merit!
