The Qin army has been forced to retreat, leaving behind a large area of territory, and many of the Qianshou have also been abandoned in the lost area, and now the Shangjun in the local occupied area has no resources to guide the county's resources to serve the war, and the six or seven hundred thousand Qianshou in the Shangjun cannot become an effective population to use.

In fact, Qin's national strength weakened so much that it needed to rely on the Han in such a short period of time, and it lost Ba County, Shu County, and Hanzhong County in a very short period of time. In addition, it is also because of the continuous expansion of the army, the young and strong people of the civilian population have been diverted to lead the productive forces to dry up, and they have fallen into a vicious circle in which the territory cannot be guaranteed without the expansion of the army, and the expansion of the army makes the civilian population lose their productive forces.

Broadly speaking, wasn't the Qin army also a kind of all-encompassing effort to keep the countries in a state of high combat readiness, spending one or two hundred years slowly dragging down the productive forces of the countries, and then sweeping the countries smoothly in the Yingzheng generation?

The current situation is that all countries are exhausted by each other, and the Han State has not experienced much consumption, and it takes half a year for the Han army to destroy the Qi State and annex the Yan State after the Han army goes north, which is still an understandable range.

It's just that Meng Tian suspects that there is really no "Mandate of Heaven", the old hatred makes the countries bite the Qin State to the death, and the Qin State has to deal with the counterattack of the countries with all its might, and the result is that the forces established by Lu Zhe can be celibate. Now that the nations are almost all finished, and the Qin State does not have the strength to compete with the Han State, the world will be unified again when it sees it, and only by using the ghost and god theory that no one is sure can it be explained that the Han Dynasty Wang Zhe will be so obedient to take the world, right?

"General Meng?" The lieutenant had already called several times, but Meng Tian had not responded.

Zhang Han looked at Meng Tian's distracted expression, and his heart was a little complicated. He was also thinking that if there was no great chaos in the world and the pattern of Qin dominating the world was maintained, Fusu would be destined to become Qin II, then the Mengshi, who had been "investing" in Fusu for a long time, would have been waiting for the new emperor to ascend the throne and should have gained an extremely prominent position. What now? The Han State rose sideways, and the Montessori poured so much effort and resources into supporting Fusu, waiting for the cancellation of the name of the Qin State. As the new empire to retain the title of King of Qin, Fusu must have no real power, and Montessori's "investment" is also equivalent to a water scoop, and because of Montessori's deep Fusu brand, Montessori's situation in the new empire is estimated to not be reused.

Several Han kings Zhe's army moved to the western front, and the situation in the world was getting clearer, Zhang Han could understand the complexity of Meng Tian's heart, didn't he himself feel confused and didn't know the future prospect?

The lieutenant called a few more times, and Meng Tian finally "woke up" from his state of trance.

"Hundreds of thousands of troops, dozens of miles of defense line ......" Meng Tian's voice was a little dry. The expression is also showing hesitation.

To tell the truth, Lu Zhe directly bypassed Fusu and asked Meng Tian to withdraw his troops, which was a kind of temptation on another level, and it was Lu Zhe who asked Meng Tian "Can you be used by me".

Meng Tian is the patriarch of the Mengshi clan, and he is also the leader of many major clans and officials who follow the Mengshi clan, and reason is telling him that he should accept Lu Zhe's solicitation, after all, the situation in the world is clear, and he should think about the future of the Mengshi clan and the future of many followers. But so. He is a person who cherishes feelings, and suddenly falls into a hesitation that is difficult to choose.

For a long time, it was so long that when the lieutenant wanted to open his mouth to urge, Zhang Han couldn't help but make a sound. Meng Tian finally reacted.

"There are many things that need to be prepared for the withdrawal of the military, and it is difficult to form a deployment for a while." Meng Tian said.

The lieutenant was stunned when he heard this, and he saluted. Without saying a word, he turned around slowly, and left the tent with a sigh.

After the lieutenant left, Meng Tian's straight waist hunched slightly. It was as if it was extremely difficult to get to the steps where you could sit down, and then hold your head with both hands.

Zhang Han knew that Meng Tian had already made a choice, and Meng Tian had to consult Xianyang's Fusu before deciding whether to withdraw the army, and he also tactfully rejected Han Wangzhe's solicitation.

"You say......" Meng Tian's voice was both dry and hoarse: "Is there any point in me doing this?" ”

"......" Zhang Han didn't quite understand what Meng Tian was talking about, but he could see that Meng Tian was full of sadness and decadence.

Is it sad that Montessori has been "investing" failure? Meng Tian may have such an idea, after all, the political team is full of complexity, winning the rich and powerful, and if he loses, he will naturally face suppression and purge, and the reason has always been like this.

However, there is one thing that Zhang Han absolutely guessed wrong, in fact, in the original history, Montessori's "investment" was not successful, and the side failed in Fusu's suicide, Meng Tian was also imprisoned in Yangzhou, waiting for Meng's power in the army to be completely eliminated, Meng Tian was killed in prison.

Now Meng Tian is in a much better situation than in the original history, in which he did not even have the right to choose, and now he can still make his own choices. Moreover, in fact, even if he refused Lu Zhe's solicitation, Lu Zhe didn't want to do anything to this "No. 1 Chinese warrior".

Of course, Meng Tian didn't know what Lu Zhe thought, he only thought that he would definitely be unlucky after refusing to solicit, and the Montessori was estimated to be silent, and the situation of some clans and officials who followed the Montessori would definitely be extremely bad in the future. Therefore, after he made his choice, he seemed to be much older, and that spirit could not be maintained.

"Zhang Han," Meng Tian said very seriously, "You should have more contact with those generals and colonels of the Han army, and don't miss your future." ”

What can Zhang Han say?

Meng Tian is very serious, and he doesn't mean to talk back at all.

Although Zhang Han was transferred from Shaofu to the military for only three years, his ability to command the army in combat was very good. As the number of times he commanded the army in battles increased, he showed a kind of good general should have.

Zhang Han has only been under Meng Tian's command for a year, and Meng Tian has seen a lot of shining points from Zhang Han, thinking that Zhang Han should not make a mistake in choosing to stand in line this time, and should have a better future.

"Han Wangzhe is a very special monarch, his mind can accommodate the whole world, but his eyes are not only looking at the world, but also looking at the land farther away," Meng Tian looked at Zhang Han with a complicated face: "After the unification of China, Han Wangzhe will continue to expand outward, and he needs a lot of virtuous ministers and good generals, you ......"

Zhang Han's face looked a little better, and he began to understand what Meng Tian meant.

What does Meng Tian want to express? He was saying that Han Wangzhe would not be brutally liquidated, and the Montessori would lose the stage to express his talents, but he would not suffer a bloody purge, after all, whether it was Chu, or Qi, Yan, Wei, and Han, when these countries disappeared or were about to disappear, they had never heard Han Wangzhe raise a butcher's knife against anyone. In his opinion, Han Wangzhe is a big-minded figure, and such a king is destined to think differently from ordinary people.

The reality seems to be the same, Lu Zhe has really not raised a butcher's knife against anyone so far, and some soldiers of the defeated and surrendered countries have never been slaughtered after surrendering. In addition, no matter what the officials attached to each country had done against the Han State in advance, these officials would not be appointed by Lu Zhe at most. There is one of the most special examples, that is, Gongwei's father Gongao, Gongao once scolded Lu Zhe to the blood, but not only has Gongao not been used, isn't Gongwei still being reused now?

Judging from various signs, Zhang Han recognized Meng Tian's statement that Han Wangzhe was broad-minded, and at this time he also knew Meng Tian's inner thoughts.

Meng Tian wants to take care of the long-standing relationship with Fusu, and the reality is also destined to be silent for a while. In fact, if the brand belonging to Fusu on Meng Tian's generation is not cleared, it is difficult for Mengshi to have the possibility of becoming the commander of a certain army, so it is better to be a loyal minister, anyway, the final result is almost the same.

Fusu, who was far away in Xianyang, was moved when he received a military report from Meng Tian, and when the old Qin people and the Wang, Xu and others turned their backs, Meng Tian still remained unabandoning and refused to be wooed by Han Wangzhe, how could he not dare to move?

However, Fusu was more distressed after being moved, he had been in correspondence with Lu Zhe, and some exchanges had never been interrupted, if anyone now knew Lu Zhe's actual thoughts, then Fusu could definitely be regarded as one of them.

Lu Zhe's thinking was different from that of his time, he would purge those who posed a threat to the rule, but for those who did not threaten, he basically ignored them as long as they did not break the law.

"King Han did not abandon the idea of Mengshi, and in the future, he will appoint Meng Tian as the general of the expedition to the west, should he be informed in advance?" Fusu thought about it and decided not to tell Meng Tian.

You must know that Lu Zhe's army is different from all countries now, the structure of the army has formed a system of checks and balances on three sides, the maintenance of military salaries and the system of military schools and military judges in the army, and there is already a basis for a situation in which a general can succeed if he wants to rebel. In this way, no matter who the army is in command, if the commander wants to rebel, he must have enough financial resources, and then win over all the officers, and even more so, purge the military schools and military judges, so that there will be a basis for rebellion. However, it takes so many "formalities" to form the conditions for rebellion, how many "demons" can do this?

"Han Wangzhe is young, very young, while he is still alive, in terms of prestige and means, unless he himself is dizzy, the situation is difficult to reverse." Fusu is very sober-minded, and for various reasons, he will make such a choice: "Now I can only follow the trend......"

Soon, Fusu's handwritten letter asking Meng Tian to cooperate with the strategy of the Han State was sent to the front line of Dingyang.

Meng Tian had no doubts after receiving the letter, he didn't know what Fusu was thinking, but he really cooperated with the lieutenant and deployed the whole army to retreat.

On the other hand, there are some people who are doing things that make people feel extremely entangled...... (To be continued......)
