Chapter 760

"I will pass the news to you once I have it."

Zhangsun Wuji did not tell a third person about his plan to assassinate Li Er this time; even Li Tai did not know.

In such matters, the fewer people who know, the better.

Simply utilizing Yin Hongzhi to take action did not require anyone else to know.

Chang'an City.

Li Er was completely unaware that his most trusted minister was plotting to assassinate him.

For the past few days, watching Great Qin continuously recruiting new soldiers, his mind had been a bit dazed.

Great Qin's move this time was too big!

The recruitment was endless, making people feel very anxious.

What exactly is Qin Mu thinking?

Recruiting so many soldiers at once, what exactly does he intend to do?

Li Er's mind was full of such questions.

Unknowingly, he had already come to regard Qin Mu as a peak in his life that he needed to look up to, a sun he needed to chase.

Every move Qin Mu made affected his nerves.

"Xuanling, do you think Great Qin expanding its army by a million at once could be aimed at Great Tang?"

Fang Xuanling did not dare to be careless about this question either.

He pondered for a long time before answering.

"Old Li, this possibility is not non-existent, but I think it shouldn't be primarily aimed at Great Tang."

"Oh? Why?"

Li Er thought about it over and over, but he didn't feel Great Qin had any other enemies.

Maurya Empire?

Qin Mu had already clearly told them that he would not continue to send troops from Chang'an toward Yelang.

To deal with the Maurya Empire, Qin Mu would recruit soldiers locally in Yelang.

This was the very thing that made him fearful.

To deal with a powerful nation like the Maurya Empire, they were only utilizing the Yelang people.

Then, recruiting so many soldiers in Chang'an, who else could it be for?

Fang Xuanling also had his own considerations.

"Old Li, think about it, Great Qin has already controlled the pirates. If they really wanted to strike at Great Tang, wouldn't it be better to start harassing from the coast? Xin Qiji's one hundred thousand elites are also stationed in Jiangbei. If these two major legions were to exert force together, Great Tang would be in danger of being destroyed!"

Fang Xuanling was not fear-mongering.

Li Er knew well the combat effectiveness of Great Qin's elite legions.

If they really wanted to destroy Great Tang, as long as Qin Mu led the expedition himself, with their current military strength, they would be more than capable of doing so.

"Then what else could it be for?"

Great Qin's neighboring countries, besides Great Tang to the south, also included Yelang and the Maurya Empire to the southwest. Overseas, the Wa Kingdom was suppressed by Zheng Chenggong's legion and posed no threat.

To the west, there was also Su Dingfang, who was continuously recruiting Persians to join.

The only place left vacant was the north.

Fang Xuanling said.

"North of the Gobi, there are the Dingling people and the Tungusic people. To the northeast, there are the Khitan and the Sushen. Could it be because of them?"

Li Er shook his head and said.

"The two major powers of the north, the Turks and Goguryeo, have already been wiped out.

What remains are just some small countries whose strength is not very formidable.

If they really wanted to deal with them, there would be no need to recruit so many soldiers, right?"

Fang Xuanling and Li Er looked at each other in dismay.

If they really wanted to know the answer to this question, it seemed they would only have to ask Qin Mu.
