Chapter 519 New Mission

There were no envoys, no officials, and only an edict sent by the imperial guards of Ying Gao’s confidant. However, such an inconspicuous edict surprised Fusu when he saw it.

It turned out that there were only a few short sentences in this edict, but the meaning was very clear. He first expressed Fusu's indelible contributions to Nanhai County and to the Qin Dynasty over the years. Then he changed the subject and asked Fusu to first hand over the guards and governance of Nanhai County to Liu Wei, who was not far away from him, and he immediately set off back to Xianyang City with his 50,000 army and his family.

"What? Master asked the young master to return to Xianyang City?"

After receiving this news, Fusu did not make any statement, but informed his wife of the news as soon as possible. After his wife expressed her questions, she also read the letter written by Ying Gao to Fusu.

"According to what the emperor said, all the people in the mansion will return to Xianyang." Fusu nodded silently. In fact, Fusu still has a deep relationship with Xianyang. After all, that was where he grew up. Although he has been reunited with his family in Nanhai County for so many years, he still missed Xianyang a little.

But suddenly, he left Nanhai County, which he had been operating for a long time, and returned to Xianyang. Fusu was still a little unacceptable emotionally. It was not that he was unwilling to do so, but that there was no buffering process. The sudden news came was always a bit unacceptable. It was already regarded by Fusu as his second hometown, and he always had to say goodbye when he left.

"Your Majesty is not suspicious of the young master, and what actions do you want to take against the young master?"

Fusu's wife was still very sensitive. She couldn't help but start to think about the bad news, especially now that Ying Gao handed over the pursuit of Hu Hai to Fusu when he left the last time, but Fusu has no results now. What Mrs. Fusu thought was undoubtedly that if Ying Gao thought that Fusu could not bring Hu Hai to justice, it was because he did it on purpose, which might not be a good thing for Fusu.

"Your Majesty is not such a person. If he is not satisfied with me, he may have already attacked me directly. He has never done anything like this since he became the emperor of the Qin Dynasty, and even before he became the emperor of the Qin Dynasty. Of course, he would not do anything like this. What's more, the Lord Majesty asked me to bring 50,000 troops from Nanhai County to Xianyang City. There must be something in this. Alas, it's useless to say more, prepare your luggage!"

At the end, Ying Gao waved his hand at his wife. Obviously, he still believed in Ying Gao very much. However, he had been in Nanhai County for so many years, but in the end he failed to retire because his other brother disappeared from his jurisdiction. This really made Fusu a little happy that he had very strict requirements for himself.

The day after Fusu received the order from Ying Gao, Liu Wei came from Guilin County. Obviously, he had also received the order from Ying Gao. Without a new county magistrate in Nanhai County, he was temporarily under his jurisdiction. After all, the people of the three counties in Lingnan are similar to all situations. It is almost the same for one person to manage one county or two counties.

As for Liu Wei, although he came to Guilin County later, he was already considered an old comrade-in-arms of Fusu. Fusu also admired Liu Wei very much. After a day, he introduced all the officials of Nanhai County to Liu Wei and informed Liu Wei of all the matters that need attention in Nanhai County. After all these were done, Fusu resolutely led the 50,000 army and all his family to leave this place where he had lived for several years.

After Fusu left, the originally nearly 300,000 troops of Nanhai County were reduced by several times and only 70,000 to 80,000. Now the command of these soldiers has fallen into Liu Wei's hands.

According to Ying Gao's order, after the three counties of Lingnan integrated the troops of Guilin and Xiang County, there were about 100,000 troops. The one hundred thousand soldiers were not responsible for the guards of the same county. All the three counties of Lingnan were a whole, and the overall defense was now handed over to Liu.

Liu Wei deeply felt that the burden on his shoulders was much heavier than before, and he was also worried about Fusu in his heart. After all, he had done a good job, but now he was suddenly called back by the emperor. It was a little difficult to understand whoever he put this matter on.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to hand over that matter to Mr. Fusu? If Mr. Fusu is dissatisfied, he may not be as dedicated as he did when he was in Nanhai County!"

While Fusu was walking back with his troops, in Ying Gao's hall, Ying Gao, Xiao He and Han Xin were discussing what they were discussing, and the matter they were discussing happened to Fusu.

"First of all, although Fusu is my brother, he is also an official of the Qin Dynasty. Looking at the people in the entire Qin Dynasty, there is really no one more suitable than Fusu. As for whether the brother has any concerns in his heart, I have to wait until he comes back..."

Obviously, when he said the last sentence, even Ying Gao had a little doubt about his actions, which made Han Xin and Xiao He look at each other in surprise. Then he shook his head helplessly. It was obvious that they were very helpless about this matter. After the two left, Ying Gao stood by the window and calmed down, then summoned his guards and ordered them to clean up Fusu's mansion and wait for Fusu's return.

When Fusu really arrived outside the gate of Xianyang City in a mess, Ying Gao was still waiting at the gate with a group of officials. Fusu and his wife, who were a little unprotected, felt much more at ease when they saw the formation.

Because Fusu had never returned to Xianyang City for a long time, many officials and some of the princes of the Qin Dynasty had already been waiting outside Fusu's mansion early. Obviously, the welcoming and seeing off was enough for Fusu to deal with it.

But before these people could see Fusu, Fusu was invited by Ying Gao to Xianyang Palace and was summoned separately.

Because they had met each other in Nanhai County before, they seemed not unfamiliar with each other. After greeting each other, Fusu first asked: "I wonder if you call us back at this time. Is there anything urgent to do if you need Fusu?"

After hearing Fusu's words, Ying Gao could only smile, as if he had agreed to Fusu's guess, but then he changed into a very serious expression. It was obvious that what he wanted to say later was still very important to Daqin.

"I wonder how much my brother knows about my Great Qin attack on the Mauryan Dynasty?"

"Has the Mauryan Dynasty taken down by the Lord? Now even the monarch of the Mauryan Dynasty has been imprisoned in the prison of our Great Qin. The soldiers of the Mauryan Dynasty are unable to resist the attacks of our elite soldiers of our Great Qin. It is naturally difficult for them to restore the country. Could it be that something happened in this?"

When Fusu thought of Ying Gao asking him to come back with a 50,000 army, he felt a sudden slap in his heart. He thought that the edict issued by Ying Gao was just to stabilize the mentality of the people and officials of the Qin Dynasty, and this was not the case with the real situation of the Mauryan Dynasty?

"Brother is too worried. The Mauryan Dynasty has indeed basically fallen into the hands of my Great Qin. In addition to the small amount of territory distributed to the Xiongnu Shanyu Xiang Yu, a large amount of territory, including the capital of the Mauryan Dynasty, are already owned by my Great Qin. But can I know what the difficulties are?"

"Is it possible that the people in the Mauryan Dynasty are not easy to tame?"

"That's not the case, but brother can tell that I, Daqin, wanting to divide people to manage a dynasty that is only the same as my Daqin, is really not that many people available."

"My Lord meant that Fusu was to manage the land of the Mauryan Dynasty. This matter was absolutely impossible. The Mauryan Dynasty and the Qin Dynasty were really far apart. Once I arrived at the Mauryan Dynasty, I am afraid there would be a lot of criticism in the Qin Dynasty. It would definitely not be a good thing for you and my brothers."

When Fusu heard Ying Gao's words, he waved his hand quickly. Obviously, he knew that although his relationship with Ying Gao was still handled quite well so far, the Mauryan Dynasty was a very hot potato for him. If he really went there, people who were resistant to Qin or were dissatisfied with Ying Gao would all come to him. If that time really came, Ying Gao would not be able to just have trust in him.

"Don't worry, brother, I will naturally not put my brother on the unkind and unrighteous realm. The reason I hesitated this time is because the task assigned to my brother this time is really difficult, and it is very different from Nanhai County in any aspect. So I did not give a direct order, but asked my brother to return to Xianyang City to recuperate for a while, and by the way, look at what my brother thought. If my brother doesn't want to go, I will never force him. Do I want to return to Nanhai County or stay in Xianyang City, or do it all up to my brother to make the decision!"

Ying Gao said this, so he gave Fusu a lot of face. First of all, this matter was not only Fusu, but Ying Gao obviously hadn't announced it in the Qin court. Now they were only there. If Fusu really refused, Ying Gao would think that this thing had not happened before, and Fusu would think that it was back in Xianyang City to take a vacation, which was a very reliable statement.

"Somewhat hard? The territory of my Great Qin is so vast, so it is naturally very hard no matter where it is. Since the Lord believes in Fusu, no matter where it is, Fusu will naturally do its best. If even I can't bear the hardships, how can other officials willingly serve my Great Qin? Just tell me about this!"

In the end, Fusu's words were still somewhat unquestionable. Although Ying Gao had thought of such a result before, it was really something he didn't expect to have such loyalty to him.

"My brother doesn't know that the people in the Mauryan Dynasty are not in line with our Great Qin, and even the system is incompatible with our Great Qin. Therefore, I will not rashly send officials to the Mauryan Dynasty to manage them. If they act improperly, they will inspire rebellion among the people of the Mauryan Dynasty. I naturally do not want this to happen."

"I wonder what the Lord wants me to do..."

"Brother should know that General Han Xin and Xiongnu Shanyu Xiang Yu entered the Mauryan Dynasty by land. Before that, I sent Lu Jia from my Qin Dynasty to explore the deserted land, and then I found the entrance to the Mauryan Dynasty. Now that place has been set up by me to become a county of the Qin Dynasty, called the Western Regions. This land was originally as big as four or five counties I brought to, but because of the alliance with the Huns, I

Half of it has been distributed to Xiang Yu, and the other half has already had a lot of immigrants at this time. I have sent some well-known officials from all over the Qin Dynasty to there. In the next step, there will be some people from the Mauryan Dynasty. As the first group of people familiar with the laws and policies of our Qin Dynasty, this group of people from the Mauryan Dynasty is extremely important for our Qin Dynasty to develop on the land of the Mauryan Dynasty in the future. At present, only one county magistrate is missing in the Western Regions!"

After explaining so much, Ying Gao finally saw the picture of the last sentence. It was obvious that he found his brother back to let him be the county magistrate.

"In this way, the county magistrates of the Western Regions are really important for how the Qin Dynasty will manage the Mauryan Dynasty in the future, but the emperor really thinks I can take on this position?"

"There is no need to be anxious about the affairs of the Mauryan Dynasty. Only when the people of the Mauryan Dynasty in the Western Regions fully recognized the Great Qin, can they be put back and spread the laws and ideas of the Great Qin. At the same time, the elder brothers should also learn about the characteristics of the people of the Mauryan Dynasty in the Western Regions, and train the officials assigned to the elder brothers into qualified officials, so as to prepare for the time being to take important positions in the Mauryan Dynasty. In this matter, I really can't think of a second person besides the elder brother."

"Since the Lord trusts me, I have absolutely no reason to refuse this matter..."
