Chapter 860

Qin Mu asked this mainly out of consideration for Wang Xuance.

His situation is quite dangerous.

But if they wait for the imperial court to order troops to be sent, it will be a bit late.

Presumably, Wang Xuance's news should have reached Yue Yun in Yelang first.

If Yue Yun understands the situation, he would first send out elites to rescue Wang Xuance, and then report to the imperial court by fast horse.

Generals abroad sometimes need to act first and report later.

Yue Fei mentioned his own son, somewhat cautiously, and his face suddenly became very serious.

"Yue Yun, that kid, actually didn't ask for instructions and sent Xue Rengui to lead a force deep into the territory of the Harsha Empire to support him.

Your subject thinks that the situation at the time certainly required acting first and reporting later. But Yue Yun's behavior still violated the military laws in the army.

Please, Your Majesty, punish him!"

Yue Fei babbled and said such self-contradictory words.

First saying his son did nothing wrong, then saying he did something wrong.

Many times, when things are taken seriously, this is the situation.

Qin Mu laughed out loud.

"Yue Fei, if you were in Yelang, in Yue Yun's position, what would you do?"

Yue Fei didn't hesitate.

"Your subject would make the same choice as Yue Yun, act first and report later!"

Qin Mu nodded.

This is the choice a truly responsible general should make. Even if it violates military regulations, one must do the right thing.

Instead, those who are always following the rules will miss the opportunity and commit a major mistake.

"Yue Fei, neither of your father and son's choices is wrong.

Since you are commanding troops abroad, you should have the power to judge the situation yourself in such an emergency and act first and report later.

What crime is there?"

Hearing that the Emperor would not punish him, Yue Fei breathed a sigh of relief.

He actually didn't want the Emperor to punish him either; performing such a scene was also out of fear of being accused of his father and son monopolizing power.

When a military general reaches the top, there will always be such troubles.

"Your Majesty, Wang Xuance accidentally captured the Great Tang Prince Li Tai in Kannauj. The Great Tang has sent another diplomatic mission to the Harsha Empire." This news made all the officials somewhat indignant.

"The Great Tang has sent another diplomatic mission to the Harsha Empire, and they were captured again; they really don't change their nature!"

"If this continues, Great Qin's prisons will be filled by Great Tang envoys!"

"Why do they keep going to the Harsha Empire? They must be harboring evil intentions!"

Qin Mu just smiled faintly.

He wasn't angry about the Great Tang's approach.

He could understand Li Er's situation.

Nowadays, the Great Tang is constrained everywhere, and in every field, it can feel Great Qin's restrictions on it.

If they don't find a way, they can only wait for death.

In the past, the Great Tang didn't look down on those foreign countries at all. Although they were constantly making peace marriages, they also despised the other party very much.

But now, any foreign country with a little strength seems to have become the Great Tang's straw to clutch at.

The Great Tang is desperately trying to grab every straw, only to find in the end that every one of them has sunk.

"Since the Harsha Empire has already been destroyed, ask the Great Tang for some ransom later and let Li Tai go."

Qin Mu had let Li Tai go once before, in Chang'an.

He didn't want to kill Li Tai, the reason being that he still wanted to use Li Tai to cause destruction within the Great Tang.

Although the Great Tang is already weaker than Great Qin, it's best if it's not too stable internally.

Always give them more fun.

"My lords, the Harsha Empire has been defeated in advance, and the subsequent control must also be tightened. Who is willing to volunteer to govern that territory?" Simply speaking of the environment, no one wants to go.

The climate of the Harsha Empire is hot, which people from the Central Plains cannot get used to.

And in the eyes of the Central Plains people, the Harsha people are also barbaric and dirty.

There is no interest in such common people either.

But, this is Great Qin.

Many officials see governing the Harsha Empire as a painful training.

All officials are willing to dedicate themselves for the Great Qin Emperor.

"Your Majesty, your subject is willing to go!"

"Your subject is also willing to go!"

"Your subject understands agriculture and is most suitable to manage the Harsha Empire."

"Your subject is good at law and will definitely be able to manage the Harsha people until they are obedient!"

For a time, the officials in the court actually started to argue.

Everyone knows that those who work for the Great Qin Emperor will definitely gain the Emperor's favor and importance.

Although it is difficult, it is also an opportunity.

In Qin Mu's heart, the best candidate is actually Wang Xuance.

However, the Harsha people are more troublesome to manage. If it were just Wang Xuance alone, I fear he would be a bit overwhelmed.

So, among the hundred officials, he selected an assistant for him.

This time, if the occupied Harsha Empire territory can be stabilized and then the entire Indian continent can be occupied.

The Great Qin Empire's territory will have surpassed any dynasty in history.

Except for the Great Tang in the south, the vast northern desert and the wilderness of the north, almost the land of this entire continent has become Great Qin territory!

This is an unprecedented great achievement in history!

At sea.

Qin Mu broke the fear of the sea that Central Plains people had throughout history and established an invincible fleet.

Zheng He has already been sent out to open up overseas trade routes.

With Zheng He's exploration of the outside world, Great Qin's business will definitely be done in every corner of the world.

And the Great Tang, which is tucked away in the south of the Yangtze River, has been tightly wrapped by Great Qin from land and sea without knowing it.

Slowly restricting the Great Tang's space.

Making the Great Tang feel like it has fallen into a dead end, the road getting narrower and narrower, but there is no way out!

This is Qin Mu's revenge on the Great Tang and Li Er.

He wants the Great Tang to know that talent is more important than noble families!

He wants the Great Tang to always live in that predicament of being at the end of its tether.

Forever regretting the mistakes it made against him!
