Fusu's words were like a basin of cold water, extinguishing the fire in Ying Zheng's heart.
He glared at Fusu. If he wasn't his own son, he would have wanted to have someone drag him down and whip him a few times.
"Father, my eldest brother is right. We can't be hasty about this matter." Zhao Qingrui quickly took Ying Zheng's arm to prevent his father from getting angry.
This brother is good in every way except that he is too straightforward.
Fusu was stunned for a moment, then realized that he had said something wrong, and shut up obediently.
"Okay, let's not talk about this, father. There are all kinds of gems and gold mines there. Sooner or later, you will conquer them. Now there are so many gems, what do you want to do with them?" Zhao Qingrui looked at Ying Zheng expectantly.
"Give these things to you brothers and sisters, and keep some as rewards for the harem and the former court." Ying Zheng quickly made a decision in his mind.
"Okay, I'll keep a copy and ask Censor Feng to show me the inspection book, and then give it to me as a reward." Zhao Qingrui nodded with a smile. His father had taken everything into consideration.
"As for this gold, let's make it into gold bars first. The national treasury is not rich." Looking at the gold bars, Ying Zheng said seriously.
Zhao Qingrui had no objection. The biggest use of this gold now was to cast it into gold ingots.
Gold was the currency in Daqin and had considerable purchasing power.
With this gold, we should be able to collect a large amount of food and fodder to prepare for the conquest of the Huns.
-----------------
After Li You returned to Xianyang, he met with Li Si and then took orders to march towards Shangjun with the new soldiers.
Li You was also transferred from Sanchuan County to Shangjun County, temporarily following Meng Tian's arrangements.
The army marched towards Shangjun in a mighty manner, and the Huns soon learned of the movements of the Qin army.
At this time in the Xiongnu royal court, Chanyu Tuoman was looking at the simple map on the wooden board with a frown.
Prince Maodun also looked unhappy. In the past two years, he had obtained a lot of food thanks to his relationship with Sui Shicong.
It is basically impossible to trade with Daqin now.
Now the Qin army is about to march on the border, the meaning is self-evident, and a strong sense of crisis surges in my heart.
"Father, we can't wait any longer. The Qin army will soon converge on Shangjun, which will be extremely disadvantageous to the Xiongnu."
"Moreover, with such a large army, the Qin Dynasty is coming to annihilate us." Prince Maodun said anxiously.
As Touman Chanyu grew older, his courage also diminished. Under the threat of the Qin army, he dared not make any unusual moves.
But in his opinion, this was tantamount to waiting for death.
As the number of troops in Shangjun grew, Touman Chanyu finally began to panic.
Only then did he call Prince Maodun and the nobles of the royal court over to discuss matters of self-protection.
"Does my son have any good ideas?" Touman Chanyu looked at Prince Maodun. Prince Maodun had shown his strong ability to lead troops early on, and his own strength was also quite good.
He has developed very well in recent years, and even he is a little afraid of this young and energetic son.
However, he couldn't care less about that now, he just wanted to survive.
"Only by uniting the Xiongnu, Yuezhi, Qiang and other tribes can we deal with the Qin Dynasty." Prince Maodun said calmly.
The number of soldiers from their tribes is not as large as that of the Qin Dynasty, and their equipment is not as good as that of the Qin Dynasty. They have no chance of winning this battle.
Only by uniting with those tribes can we fight against the Qin Dynasty.
"Can they really agree to this?" Touman Chanyu hesitated.
"Father, what are you hesitating about? If we don't unite, the Qin army will attack us. Do you think the Xiongnu can be a match for the Qin army?"
"Moreover, once our Xiongnu is destroyed, can other tribes be spared from war? The Great Qin will certainly not let them go." Prince Maodun frowned. It was all because his father was too short-sighted. If it were him,
A cold light flashed in Prince Maodun's eyes. Since Chanyu Tuoman was blocking his way, he might as well clear this obstacle.
With Touman Chanyu around, he couldn't command the entire Xiongnu. If he didn't take action, the entire Xiongnu would be doomed.
In order to survive, he must have absolute say.
At this moment, Prince Maodun really wanted to kill.
Touman Chanyu is old, and his decision is a burden to the Xiongnu today, dragging the entire Xiongnu to death.
"What about you? What do you think?" Touman Chanyu looked at the other nobles.
"Chanyu, perhaps we don't have to be so pessimistic. The Qin Dynasty is building the Great Wall and sending so many people here just to build the Great Wall or to intimidate us." An old noble stood up.
"Chanyu, I support Prince Maodun. The Qin Dynasty has long wanted to conquer the Xiongnu. We must be on guard."
"Yes, Chanyu, now is the critical moment for the survival of the Xiongnu. You must not be confused."
There were more people supporting Prince Maodun. As Chanyu Tuoman watched this scene, a deep look flashed in his eyes. His son had grown up and had become more powerful. His orders were no longer able to control these people.
In the end, the meeting ended in failure. Touman Chanyu saw that more and more people supported his son and his own rights were threatened.
If Maodun really did this, the entire Xiongnu would probably listen to him.
In order to prevent Prince Maodun from taking away his rights, Touman Chanyu suppressed the matter.
He returned to his tent with a gloomy face and said, "Go and call Sui Shicong and the others."
Prince Maodun called over all his trustworthy subordinates, as these people were the foundation for him to become the Chanyu.
Sui Shicong relied on continuously providing food and fodder to Prince Maodun and offering him many strategies, which made Prince Maodun temporarily trust him.
"Prince, why did you call us to the tent?" several people asked respectfully.
"My father is old and can no longer lead the Xiongnu to become stronger. There is even a danger of the Xiongnu being destroyed. I want to take his place." Prince Maodun said this calmly.
"Prince should have done so long ago. The Qin army is approaching, and the Chanyu's decision will only bring ruin to the Xiongnu. I have long wanted to send troops to overthrow the Qin." A strong man with a full beard shouted.
"That's right. The Chanyu disregarded the entire Xiongnu for his own selfish interests. It was God's will that the prince took his place."
Others quickly joined in the support, glorifying the rebellion in a high-sounding manner.
"What about you?" Prince Maodun's face remained calm, his eyes fixed on Sui Shicong.
"I will naturally obey the prince's orders." Sui Shicong said respectfully, of course I will obey your orders and find an opportunity to kill you.
We cannot allow Prince Maodun to unite with other tribes. These tribes are not as strong as ours. If they unite, it will definitely be disadvantageous to the Qin Dynasty.
"In that case, you and my personal guards will go to Donghu, explain the situation to them, and form an alliance." Prince Maodun's face was stern, and the dagger in his hand was shining coldly.
