This raised Fusu's admiration for Shen Bing to a new level.

At this time, a personal guard came to report:

"Young master, deputy general, Xiang Liang, the envoy of Chu State, is asking to see you."

Fusu couldn't help being puzzled for a while, as the prince of Qin, he had naturally heard of Xiang Liang, the general of Chu.

The reason why he was puzzled was because Xiang Liang, the envoy, had a peace talk with Yang Duan if he had anything to do, why did he come to see Shen Bing?

But of course Fusu couldn't refuse people at the door, so he nodded immediately and said:

"See!"

But Xiang Liang didn't know that Fusu was in the tent... Fusu was the prince of Qin, so his whereabouts should not be revealed to outsiders, but at this time, Xiang Liang bumped into him.

Before Xiang Liang saw the case, there were two young people. One of them was a boy in his teens, of course he couldn't be Shen Bing, and the other was Shen Bing...why did he still show such respect to this boy?

So at the first moment, he felt that the identity of this young man was extraordinary.

Shen Bing cupped his hands and introduced on his behalf:

"General Xiang, this is Prince Fusu of Great Qin."

With a sound of "coaxing" in his head, Xiang Liang saluted immediately:

"Xiang Liang doesn't know it's the son, so please forgive me for being rude."

Young Master Fusu raised his hand and said:

"It's okay, General Xiang is here for something important?"

Xiang Liang glanced at Shen Bing.

Shen Bing asked straight to the point:

"General Xiang came here to surrender to Qin?"

Xiang Liang bowed his hands with embarrassment on his face and said nothing, but Fu Su looked at Shen Bing in surprise for a long time and was speechless.

Shen Bing smiled and said:

"If General Xiang intends to surrender to Qin, this is a good time."

Xiang Liang didn't know that the "great opportunity" Shen Bing said referred to Fusu, so he hurriedly bowed his hands to Fusu:

"My lord, please accept Xiang Liang's respect."

"The King of Chu and the Xiang family have no intention of becoming enemies of Qin."

"If Qin and Chu can stop fighting at this point, the king of Chu would like to bow his head and become a minister, and flee Jiangdong together with Xiang."

"Young Master Wang thinks of Qin Chu's army and people, and waits for me to say a few good words in front of King Qin so as not to kill him."

Fusu had never dealt with such a major matter, and was at a loss for a moment, looking at Shen Bing with eyes asking for help.

Shen Bing did not intervene. He believed that this was also a process of Fusu's experience, and Fusu must have his own opinions, judgment and adaptability.

Fusu also understood this from Shen Bing's eyes, then forced himself to calm down, thought for a while and replied:

"It would be a good thing for Qin and Chu to cease their military operations."

"But this matter is too serious to be able to make a conclusion."

"However, Fusu can report this matter to His Majesty, and then His Majesty will make a decision!"

"If this happens, it will be a good thing for both Qin and Chu, and it is their duty to help Su!"

Chapter 287

Shen Bing didn't say much in front of Xiang Liang.

Because Shen Bing is not sure how much Xiang Liang knows... This refers to the agreement between Shen Bing and Chu Wangqi.

Shen Bing guessed that King Qi of Chu would not tell Xiang Yan about this, so of course Xiang Liang didn't know either.

Just kidding, if Chu Wangqi told Xiang Yan about this, that Xiang Yan would probably slap his head:

"Well, you thief, I wonder why the Chu army is defeated by the Qin army again and again. It turns out that you and Shen Bing have a secret relationship..."

Isn't it too long for Chu Wangqi?

And if this is said, even if Xiang Yan does not pursue the responsibility for the previous defeat, it is impossible to support Chu Wangqi and even follow him to Qin.

So Shen Bing pretended that he didn't know anything, and what he was talking about was Chu's surrender to Qin and the retention of Jiangdong's land.

After Xiang Liang left, Shen Bing told Fusu about it.

After Fusu heard this, his eyes widened in surprise, and it took him a long time before he praised:

"The deputy general has a good plan."

"There are more than one million Qin and Chu armies, but such a big battle was originally under the control of the lieutenant general."

Shen Bing replied with a smile:

"It's not about control."

"If you control it, I won't be so dangerous when I wait for Ruyin's battle."

"I led the Shenwu Army and almost wiped out the entire army!"

Fu Su nodded slightly, and then shook his head again.

Only now did he understand the danger of using troops, even if Shen Bing was so calculating and resourceful, he still had to fight with his life.

After sighing in his heart, he asked:

"Lieutenant General, how should Fusu respond at this time?"

Shen Bing replied:

"Of course I will go back to Handan and report to the king!"

"If the son can facilitate this matter, it will be a great achievement."

"But... don't take credit for yourself."

Fusu saluted Shen Bing immediately:

"Thank you, Lieutenant General, Fusu has been taught."

What Shen Bing said was true.

Fusu was only in his teens, and he had little experience in reading sage books since he was a child.

Now, for the first time on the battlefield as a supervisor, he has made great achievements in destroying Chu... No matter who it is, it is inevitable that everyone will be overjoyed. If it really shows up in Yingzheng, I am afraid that he will be disappointed:

"I just got carried away with joy just to participate in the extermination of Chu, how can I have the aura of a king!"

"How much merit did Wang Jian achieve? How much merit did Shen Bing achieve? None like you!"

……

Therefore, making meritorious deeds is not only not a good thing, but may also become a bad thing.

Because Yingzheng's request for Fusu is a "big king" rather than an ordinary "subject", so "having the world in mind" is much more important than meritorious service itself.

Fusu is not a fool, he immediately understood this point, so he knew what to do.

Sure enough, when Fusu returned to Handan and told Yingzheng in this way, Yingzheng was overjoyed on the surface but wanted to try Fusu's reaction:

"Well done! If Chu falls, the Central Plains will be unified."

"Jiangdong is only the land of Heze. Lord Changping is loyal and has made such great achievements. It is not an exaggeration to ask for a fiefdom."

Then Yingzheng asked Fusu again:

"My son's trip today to bring about Chu's surrender to Qin is indeed a great achievement. I don't know how to reward him?"

Fusu hastened to pay homage:

"Father, the first contribution of Chu State to surrendering Qin Dynasty belongs to Shen Bing, Fu Su is just a guide, I dare not ask for a reward."

"What's more, if this is accomplished, the Qin and Chu countries will stop fighting and save their lives from suffering. This is the best reward for Fusu!"

Ying Zheng listened quite well at first, but Fu Su added that sentence at the end, which made Ying Zheng feel a little unhappy.

What Yingzheng actually didn't like was Fusu's benevolence, or this kind of benevolence that had no bottom line.

This may be related to the fact that Ying Zheng grew up in Zhao Guo. He grew up in an environment where he was afraid that he might die at any time, so his character was naturally "profit first" and "survival of the fittest".

In the eyes of Ying Zheng, Fusu's kindness is a proper "woman's benevolence", which is an immature expression.

But thinking about it, I feel that this has to be done slowly.

After all, it was only a month after Fusu was sent to Shen Bing, such progress is quite remarkable.

It is because of Fusu's performance that Yingzheng believes that what Fusu said is from the heart... This is Fusu's character, but it is in the process of transformation.

At this point, Ying Zheng nodded in satisfaction.

In fact, what Ying Zheng didn't know was that he accidentally fell into the pit dug by Shen Bing.

In fact, Shen Bing also thought about reminding Fusu to pay attention to the issue of "benevolence", but when he thought about it, if Fusu changed too much and too fast, he would not look like Fusu, and Yingzheng inevitably became suspicious.

then……

Then Ying Zheng said to Fu Su as if he remembered something:

"By the way, the Grand Tutor has completed his mission to Qi, and he just returned to Handan yesterday."

"At the moment you are in Dongcheng, Zhao Gao will take you there."

Fu Su was taken aback for a moment, then followed Zhao Gao out of the hall in response.

After Zhao Gao left with Fusu, Ying Zheng shook his head and sighed:

"Well, you Shen Bing, you have kept even the widow in the dark."

"Mr. Changping's move is really powerful. Who would have thought that Shen Bing could design him to become the king?"

"If this plan is successful, the Chu State will be in the pocket of the widow!"

On the other hand, Zhao Gao actually knew that Ying Zheng wanted to try to help Su, to see if he would continue to follow Chun Yuyue.

So along the way, he launched a "brainwashing" offensive against Fusu:

"Your Majesty doesn't know that the Grand Tutor was sent to Qi State as an envoy, but he was rushing back and forth."

"I came and went in a hurry all the way, and after completing the mission, I rushed back without stopping."

"As soon as I got back to Handan, I was in a hurry to go to Shouchun. If I didn't know that the young master would arrive soon, the Taifu would already be on the way."

"My son has the grand master as his teacher. It is indeed the luck of the son and the great Qin!"

Fusu was confused by Zhao Gao's words.

Originally, Yingzheng's meaning was very clear. If he didn't like Shen Bing, he wouldn't send Fusu to Shouchun as a supervisor, and he wouldn't be happy to praise him after hearing the news that Chu State was about to surrender.

But why did Ying Zheng ask him to meet Chun Yuyue?

This time Zhao Gao said again...

You must know that this Zhao Gao is Ying Zheng's confidant, and he can't leave his side almost every step of the way. If there is anyone who understands Ying Zheng, it is Zhao Gao.

Did Zhao Gao mean that Ying Zheng still wanted him to travel with Chunyu Yue instead of Shen Bing?

Fusu followed Zhao Gao to Dongcheng with full of suspicion.

Chunyu Yue was waiting anxiously in the hall, and when he saw Fu Su coming in, he rushed to greet him:

"I see you, son, how about you don't come?"

Fusu replied:

"Teacher Lao, don't worry, Fusu is very good."

When Chunyu Yue heard the words, he felt relieved and said:

"That's very good. I just received the letter from the young master yesterday, and said that the young master was in trouble in Shouchun."

"Now it seems that the young master has solved the problem."

"The minister is very pleased."
