Daqin: Selling elves at the beginning, Zulong begged me to supervise the country

Zhang San quickly walked to the entrance of the palace and saw Zhang Han standing there with an anxious look on his face.

As soon as he stepped out of the palace gate, Zhang Han greeted him.

"Eunuch Zhang."

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Zhang San asked.

"Your Majesty, is he in there?"

"I'm here."

"Eunuch Zhang, please tell me something big happened!" Zhang Han said anxiously, holding Zhang San's arm.

"Slow down, my clothes are in a mess." Zhang San couldn't help but remind him, they are serving in front of the palace and their clothes must be neat.

In order not to stain the Holy Eyes, it can be said to be a breach of etiquette in front of the palace.

Although His Majesty will not offend him for such a trivial matter, it is better for those serving in front of the palace to be more cautious.

After he reminded her like this, Zhang Han realized that his tug on Zhang San's sleeve was too intimate, and he quickly let go and apologized: "I'm sorry, Eunuch Zhang, I was in a hurry."

Zhang San waved his hand and stopped pursuing it.

"Tell me first, why are you so anxious?"

If you want to ask to see the Holy Master, you have to have a reason not to.

His Majesty is busy now. If he is disturbed by a small matter, he will not be left behind.

Zhang Han also suddenly came to power. He asked for an audience for the first time, but he obviously didn't understand.

But fortunately, his ability is good and he is loyal to His Majesty, so Zhang San is also willing to give him some advice.

If it were someone else who would wait for a long time without saying the reason for coming, and then be so fussy, he would have lost his face a long time ago.

"There are birds coming from Baiyue...no, people are coming."

"The Imperial Lieutenant sacrificed his life for the country and is now outside the palace gate."

After being reminded by Zhang San, Zhang Han finally remembered that he was in a hurry and forgot to mention the purpose of his visit.

It is not a trivial matter for a Guowei to die in battle.

Otherwise, he would not bother His Majesty at this time.

Moreover, the way the captain came back was something he had never heard of.

But considering that so many things have happened in Xianyang recently, it’s nothing surprising.

"What?" Zhang San's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and his face turned pale.

The Guowei died in battle...

This sentence contains so much information.

The war in Baiyue is what His Majesty is most concerned about right now. He did not hesitate to recruit so many Pokémon to build the canal, which shows how much His Majesty attaches great importance to it.

Now that the general is dead in battle, the war in Baiyue will definitely not be good.

I'm really afraid of what's coming.

He turned around and ran into the palace, motioning for Zhang Han to follow him. At this time, he could not care less about the lack of etiquette in front of the palace.

Zhang Han walked into the inner room and saw the First Emperor sitting in front of the desk, reading memorials.

"I am here to see you, Your Majesty."

Zhang Han's voice suddenly appeared in the palace, and the First Emperor and Li Si looked at him at the same time.

The First Emperor frowned. Since when had ministers been able to enter and exit Zhangtai Palace at will without his permission?

Li Si raised his head and glanced a little suspiciously. His Majesty rarely summoned the guards, let alone being busy now.

It was only for a moment, and he continued to work on the memorial.

To be able to climb to this position and become His Majesty's confidant, he has already learned not to listen to what he shouldn't listen to, not to see what he shouldn't see, and not to say what he shouldn't say.

Zhang San saw the First Emperor's frown and knew that this was a sign of His Majesty's anger.

Under the emperor's majesty, his legs became weak and he almost knelt down.

But there are pressing matters right now, not the time to receive punishment.

He walked quickly towards the First Emperor.

"Your Majesty, Lord Guowei died in battle."

Zhang San whispered and presented Wang Bi and Wang Yi's secret letters together.

Then he held his breath and stood respectfully aside.

The First Emperor took the letter, read it twice, his expression suddenly changed, and he stood up suddenly.

His eyes were full of murderous intent.

When Li Si heard the commotion, he stopped grading the pen and ink, slowly put it down, and raised his eyes to look at the First Emperor.

When the leader Yi Xusong died in battle and the troops were of equal strength, the [-] Qin army led by Tu Sui was almost completely annihilated without losing a single soldier.

Jie Jun is actually the only serious trouble he has seen in his life.

The key is the hound and fire breath mentioned in the secret letter.

Can this Jie Jun control beasts? ! !

"Your Majesty, my condolences." Zhang San lowered his head and said again cautiously.

He felt like he was sweating all over his body, and his hands and feet were cold.

The same goes for Zhang Han.

Neither of them understood how the captain could die in battle, and why he died so suddenly.

The First Emperor's cold gaze swept across Zhang San and Zhang Han.

Zhang San knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, "This humble minister deserves death. Please punish me."

"Get up, I don't blame you." The First Emperor sighed, "I'm just angry that Baiyue actually made Qin lose a captain."

Guowei is the highest military official in the Qin Dynasty and is in charge of all military affairs in the Qin Dynasty.

"Marquis Tongwu is in Baiyue, and the situation will be under control."

"Your Majesty, as well as the Wang family's father and son, General Meng, General Ren Xiao and other generals, it will only be a matter of time before they take over Baiyue."

Upon hearing this, the First Emperor took another deep look at Zhang San, with a complicated look on his face.

"This old slave made a mistake, please punish me, Your Majesty." Zhang San noticed that the First Emperor was looking at him and quickly shut up.

He was too worried about Your Majesty today, so it was not his turn to speak.

"Where is the person who sent the message?" The First Emperor spoke slowly after being silent for a long time.

According to the distance from Baiyue to Xianyang, Wang Ben should have died in battle shortly after Tu Sui arrived in Baiyue.

I'm still waiting for his reply there, and it seems I'm going to find a way with my husband today.

Let Guo Wei's body be returned to Xianyang for burial as soon as possible.

More importantly, Baiyue's troops must be redeployed.

Looking for Ye Chen to find a way was actually to see if he could borrow Mew or draw other Pokémon that could take people flying.

There are currently not many people in Xianyang who have drawn flying Pokémon, and the only one who can take people flying right now is Zhou Wu's Bobo, who has just evolved into a Pidgeot.

This is obviously not enough.

"Stand by at the city gate, waiting for His Majesty to leave." Zhang Han reported truthfully.

"Well, let them come in." The First Emperor nodded, then waved his hand: "You two go down."

His tone was very indifferent, without any intention of blaming him.

Zhang San and Zhang Han looked at each other and bowed to exit.

Taking advantage of Zhang San and Zhang Han's opportunity to summon him at the palace gate, the First Emperor looked down at Li Si.

"Now that you've heard it, let's take a look."

Li Si took the secret letter and read it carefully.

He was just a civil servant, and he didn't know much about war arrangements. He didn't know what the First Emperor meant.

Li Si thought about it for a long time, then coughed lightly and said, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Lieutenant sacrificed his life for the country. We cannot afford to be careless about the funeral arrangements. I am afraid that the time for the eastward tour will be postponed."

Although there was no great victory, his contribution to killing the leader of Xiou was not small, and he also had many achievements in his early years, so he should be buried properly.

Most officials will be required to attend as a sign of respect.

It would take 20 days to return to Xianyang from Baiyue quickly.

The Eastern Tour can only be postponed.

"I'm asking you, what do you think of Baiyue's military power?"

"What does your Majesty mean?"

"Zhao Tuo!" the First Emperor said in a deep voice.

Li Si is really getting better and better as he gets older. He is more cautious than Zhang San and dares to speak out.

"Zhao Tuo has his own opinions on military affairs, but he has been struggling to implement them. If he is allowed to lead the troops, the effect may be different."

"It's just that this person's ambitions are not small."

Li Si's opinion on this person can be used, but it depends on how to use it.

It is good to be ambitious, but if the ambition is too big...

Li Si saw that the First Emperor was impatient, so he stopped pretending to be stupid and expressed his thoughts.

This was military, he didn't understand it, and it was not his turn to say anything, so he had no choice but to comment on Zhao Tuo's character.

"If you are too ambitious, there will be disaster." After hearing this, the First Emperor fell into silence.He naturally knew what Li Si meant.

His views on Zhao Tuo are basically the same as Li Si's.

This is why he reused Li Si.

Li Si can always understand what he is thinking and do things that suit his wishes.

Many things that were inconvenient for him to do were justified by Li Si.

"Wang Ben is still worried about me and would rather let Zhao Tuo lead the army."

"Marquis Tongwu is not someone who doesn't care about the overall situation. With him watching, Zhao Tuo won't make any big mistakes."

The First Emperor shook his head. He still trusted the Wang family and his son. If this could reassure them, then let them go.

"Then let Ren Xiao pass."

The First Emperor glanced at the opened bamboo slips on the desk, which was the good news from Ren Xiao.

The army of the Hundreds of Vietnamese Expeditions was divided into five groups, of which 10 were led by Ren Xiao.

This army progressed smoothly and pacified the Dongou and Minyue areas.

Before he could be happy, news came back that Tu Sui had died in battle.

The Baiyue War suffered many setbacks. Although Zhao Tuo was a talented general, he had a "rebellious" character behind his head. If he was given a chance, he might have different intentions.

Moreover, Zhao Tuo had no outstanding record before, which was not enough to suppress the heroes. If he did not send people to help, he might not be popular.

It is impossible for Wang Ben to stay in Xing'an County forever.

As for the other generals who were originally in Baiyue, they were unable to coordinate the overall situation.

Now that Tu Sui died in battle, the position of general became vacant.

Under such circumstances, the position of general must be filled by someone who can convince both the soldiers and the generals.

Right now, only Ren Xiao is the most suitable.

As soon as the First Emperor made his decision, Zhang San came in with a large group of people and a flock of birds.
