General Qin

"He went to Wei Liao's residence?"

In the Qin Palace, there is a slightly dark room.

Qin Wangzheng looked at the middle-aged man standing in the room, his voice was a bit cold.

Yao Jia nodded and said, "It was Bang Wei who sent his disciple Wang Ao to take the initiative to invite him."

"Um."

Qin Wangzheng closed his eyes, thinking about something, the room was very quiet.

After a long time, Qin Wangzheng said to himself: "I probably know why Wei Liao is looking for Zhao Tuo. He advised me to attack Chu before, and I need to think carefully. He said that Li Xin is too young. With him as the commander, 200,000 troops may not be enough. Go to Chu State. Although he didn’t say it clearly, what Wei Liao said was nothing more than accusing the widow of being reckless, making mistakes, or wanting to say that the widow is arrogant. So he went to Zhao Tuo this time, it must have something to do with this matter .”

At this point, Qin Wangzheng's voice became cold.

"Yao Jia, do you also think that I have been reckless in letting Li Xin attack Chu this time?"

Yao Jia's eyelids twitched, he cupped his hands and said, "I'm not good at military affairs, so I don't know how to win or lose in an army battle."

"However, according to the information obtained by the minister, the current state of Chu is not yet stable. Although the nobles from all over the country were appeased after the usurpation of the throne, many people were dissatisfied with it. The minister has secretly communicated with our country. Under such circumstances, the brave General Li led his troops to attack it, and Lord Changping provoked the nobles of the Chu state to rebel. Such a combination of inside and outside, even if it is not possible to destroy Chu in one battle, it can still severely damage Chu. There is almost no chance of losing this battle."

"That's right, Wei Liao always said that Li Xin was rash, but isn't there a Lord Changping behind Li Xin?"

"Mr. Changping has been with Qin for nearly ten years, and he has acted steadily. With him as Prime Minister Li Xin's rear, the rear of our Qin army will be guaranteed. Even if Li Xin encounters obstacles when he conquers Chu, he can rely on Mr. Changping to slowly move forward. Stand with Chu State."

"Although General Li is young, he still has room for growth, and I look forward to it very much."

When Qin Wangzheng said this, he thought of Zhao Tuo's words in the palace the day before yesterday, so he couldn't help laughing and said: "Forget it, Bang Wei is also thinking about my Qin country, and it is always beneficial to be old-fashioned to seek the country. The widow will listen to Zhao Tuo. According to Tuo's words, let Meng Wu be Li Xin's deputy general. In this way, there are Meng Wu and Lord Changping as Li Xin's assistants. These old ministers, you can always feel at ease."

Yao Jia bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty's words are true. With such an arrangement, Bang Wei will be speechless."

"By the way, what happened to Qingyang?" Qin Wangzheng suddenly thought of it.

A smile appeared on Yao Jia's face: "Back to Your Majesty, the Qu Clan Lord of Qingyang is really unwilling to hand over the land, and has been delaying with excuses, and the King of Chu has not expressed his position yet."

"Hmph, that's the case. You continue to send people to urge Chu to hand over the land, and at the same time send people to secretly provoke Qu's people. It's best to let them do it first. In this way, our country, Qin, can hold the name of righteousness and conquer this breach of contract. country."

"Your Majesty, I think that as long as the people of Chu attack first and kill my envoy, then our Qin State will be famous for destroying its country."

A smile appeared on Yao Jia's stiff face, Qin Wangzheng's move, holding righteousness in his hands, was indeed very good.

Qin Wangzheng raised his head and looked to the south with a sneer on his face.

"A few cities to the west of Qingyang, do you want me to stop the pace of dominating the world?"

"Sad, what I want is your 800-year-old state of Chu!"

...

After Zhao Tuo came back from Wei Liao's mansion, he sent someone to submit an invitation to Li Xin's mansion, planning to visit him early the next morning.

This time, he was recalled to Xianyang by the king from Wei, except that Qin Wangzheng wanted to inspect and question him personally after hearing about his achievements.

Another reason is that since the state of Wei has perished, the battle to defeat Chu is about to be put on the agenda.

As the 'arm' that Li Xin requested by name, and also the young Qin general that Qin Wangzheng was optimistic about, Zhao Tuo naturally wanted to return to Xianyang, and after the autumn harvest, he would join Li Xin in the oath ceremony and set off from Guanzhong together.

So no matter whether Wei Liao asked him or not, Zhao Tuo had to visit Li Xin.

On the second day, Zhao Tuo carried a lamb again and went to Li Xina's mansion not far from the Qin Palace.

Li Xin's residence.

It was a mansion that Qin Wangzheng personally rewarded him after the battle against Yan.

It occupies a vast area and is brilliantly decorated. The houses in the mansion are carved with painted railings and painted buildings, and the eaves and teeth are pecked high, which fully shows the nobility of its young masters.

Although Li Xin led the attack on Chu, only the upper-level ministers of the Qin State and some senior Qin generals knew about it. But those "sensitivity" Xianyang clans still swarmed like vultures smelling carrion.

Wang Jian retired and returned to his hometown. General Li was young and brave, and was deeply loved by the King of Qin.

Outside of Li's residence, there was a lot of traffic, and there were many noble and noble families from Xianyang who came to visit every day.

When Zhao Tuo came here, he could not help but sigh when he saw that the traces of the carriage running over in front of the mansion had penetrated into the ground.

No need to go in, just looking at the scene outside the mansion, you can know that Li Xin has been doing very well in Xianyang during this time, and he is a hot upstart that everyone wants to visit.

And unlike Zhao Tuo's blunt refusal, General Li basically never refuses these big clans who are fawning on them.

Zhao Tuo even heard that General Li took several concubines during this period.

The Gan family, the Du family, the Meng family, and even women from the Bai family all entered Li's residence one after another.

"Xunzi once said that 'things are forbidden and prosperous'. When things reach their peak, they will turn from prosperity to decline. I don't know if the mansion here will still have such a prosperous scene after the attack on Chu."

Zhao Tuo secretly sighed in his heart, for him who already knew the result, his heart has always been heavy.

Even Wang Jian, who had great achievements, resigned voluntarily, and Wei Liao, who was as famous as him, could not persuade King Qin.

Although Zhao Tuo came from later generations, it was difficult to change the overall situation. It was a war of annihilation involving hundreds of thousands of people, and it involved all aspects.

At this moment, the door of Li's residence was wide open, and Li Xin actually came out to greet him in person.

"Zhao Tuo met General Li."

"Haha, Zhao Tuo, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Come in quickly!"

Li Xin strode out, walking with the wind, which made Zhao Tuo sigh slightly. Although General Li has been fighting on the bed for a long time, his vigor is still not inferior to that of the battlefield.

When the two met, Li Xin put his arm around Zhao Tuo's shoulder boldly, and said with a smile, "It's been a long time since you saw me, you kid has grown a lot taller, it seems like you'll be as tall as me soon."

"If I can be as tall as General Li, then I will be content."

The two entered the mansion hand in hand, and the maids and servants standing in the mansion all looked curiously at the young man who was led in by General Li.

Entering the mansion together hand in hand, it is absolutely impossible for those who are not close to enjoy such treatment.

Over the past few months, I don't know how many Xianyang nobles have visited Li's mansion, but General Li has always been on top, even when the old aristocratic families such as the Gan family and the Du family visited, General Li always turned his head up and looked at people with his nostrils.

Only today, he turned down many visits, opened the door of the house for this young man alone, and joined hands to invite him, which shows how much General Li attaches importance to this young man.

"Li Xin, you are really kind to me."

Zhao Tuo also knew that Li Xin might have many problems, but to him, Zhao Tuo, he was really good.

Moreover, Li Xin's respect and favor are completely different from those of Jing Ke in the past.

The reason why Jing Ke valued Zhao Tuo was that he wanted to use Zhao Tuo's ability to help him complete the great cause of assassinating King Qin.

It is not so much a kindness as it is a transaction.

In exchange for the treatment of deputy envoys along the way, Zhao Tuo's life was exchanged.

And this transaction is coercive.

If you Zhao Tuo accept it, then follow me, Jing Ke, to complete the great cause and die together.

If you don't accept it, then in order to keep it secret, you Zhao Tuo will die on the spot.

Zhao Tuo believed that if he showed any hesitation and suspicion on the road, Jing Ke would definitely stab the dagger into Zhao Tuo's throat without hesitation.

That's why Zhao Tuo reported on Jing Ke without guilt, because he knew very well that the kindness shown by the other party was just a naked use of it.

Only fools can be fooled by it.

But now, Li Xin valued Zhao Tuo, and maybe he also hoped to borrow Zhao Tuo's reason.

But more, is the appreciation of Zhao Tuo.

It's that kind of genuine appreciation.

Zhao Tuo could feel all of this.

He murmured in his heart: "The battle against Chu, I will do my best."

In Li's mansion, it is spacious and vast, and there are beautiful scenery everywhere.

Li Xin joined Zhao Tuo into the house and sat down with him.

After a while, a young girl brought water and wine.

The young girl was handsome and dressed in luxurious silk clothes, not a maidservant or servant.

Seeing Li Xin and Zhao Tuo in the room, she couldn't help but blushed, put down the water and wine, saluted and retreated.

"She is a daughter of the Bai family."

Li Xin said with a smug smile on his face.

Zhao Tuo looked at the direction where the Bai family girl was leaving, and his heart suddenly dawned on him.

Ying's surname is Bai.

It is also the descendant of the clan of Qin State, and the descendant of Gongzi Bai, the son of Duke Wu of Qin in the past.

The son Bai was enfeoffed in Pingyang, and his descendants took Bai as his surname, which was passed down from generation to generation until now.

This Bai clan was originally just an ordinary branch of the public clan, but decades ago, a warrior who shocked the world came out.

In vain.

This person has fought dozens of battles in his life without losing a single one.

Bai Qi attacked Han and Wei, was defeated by Yi Que, and beheaded 240,000 people.

Bai Qi attacked Zhao and beheaded 30,000 people in the battle of Guanglang City.

Bai Qi attacked Huayang, defeated Zhao and Wei, and beheaded 150,000 people.

Bai Qi attacked Han, pulled out nine cities, and beheaded 50,000 people.

In the Battle of Changping, Bai Qi defeated the Zhao army and beheaded 450,000 captives. The world was shocked!

Such achievements, in the words of Su Dai, a vertical and horizontal strategist, said: "Jun Wu'an conquered more than 70 cities for Qin's victory, Ding Yan, Ying, and Hanzhong in the south, and Zhao Kuo's army in the north. That's it."

Comparable to Zhou and Zhao, and compared with Taigong Wang, it can be seen how shocking the name of Lord Wu'an is in the world.

Bai Qi pushed the Bai family to the top by himself.

The son of the Bai family, countless women want to marry him.

The daughter of the Bai family, countless men want to marry her.

Li Xin is one of them.

As a general of Qin, his lifelong pursuit is to become a world famous general like Bai Qi and make great achievements throughout the world.

For Bai's woman, he naturally yearns for her.

As Qin destroyed Zhao and Yan, Li Xin shined in it. In particular, he pursued for thousands of miles, intercepted the convoy of the King of Yan, captured all the royal family of the Duke of Yan, and captured the crown prince Yan Dan with his own hands. These achievements pushed Li Xin to the top.

"General Wang is old, but General Li is strong and brave!"

Qin Wangzheng's personal praise made Li Xin float into the sky.

Li Xin felt that he was getting closer to the God of War whom he had worshiped since childhood.

Especially when the declining Bai clan personally sent a woman from the clan to Li Xin to accept with a smile.

Li Xin's mentality swelled even more.

Did you see that even Lord Wu An's daughter and grandson became my concubine, Li Xin.

He galloped on the body of the Bai family woman.

Suddenly, he felt that he was Bai Qi's heir.

He, Li Xin, will inherit Bai Qi's unfinished business and accomplish what Wu Anjun failed to do in the past.

He, Li Xin, will even surpass Bai Qi.

"Chu is five thousand miles away and holds millions of halberds. It is a great country in the world. However, Jun Wu'an raised his division to fight against Chu. He raised Yanying in the first battle, burned Yiling in the second battle, and humiliated the ancestors of the king of Chu in the third battle. The people of Chu were shocked." Fear, move east and dare not go west."

Li Xin stood up and said in a passionate voice in front of Zhao Tuo: "I, Li Xin, dare not compare with Lord Wu'an. With tens of thousands of troops, the capital of Chu can be conquered, but the state of Chu today is by no means the same as it used to be. long."

"Now, I have more soldiers than Lord Wu'an, and the Chu State today is weaker than the Chu State in the past. I also have Lord Changping as my auxiliary wing. How can we be invincible in such a battle?"

"Your Majesty ordered me to attack Chu, this is the destiny!"

The more Li Xin said, the more he exaggerated, his face flushed red.

"It's Haotian who wants me to complete the task of destroying Chu that Lord Wu An failed to do in the past!"

"I, Li Xin, will destroy Chu State this time!"

Zhao Tuo was stunned on the couch, staring blankly at the impassioned and generous Li Xin in front of him.

General Li, compared to Yandi, seemed to be more confident and arrogant.

Zhao Tuo thought about it again, and it seemed normal.

People are always influenced by the environment.

In the face of endless praise and praise, even the humblest person is easily knocked down.

Let alone someone like Li Xin, who is already extremely confident.

Brilliant achievements, the praise of the king, Wang Jian's retreat, the vying for favor of the princes, and countless Qin people who regard Li Xin as a hero.

Those words of praise were enough to push Li Xin's confidence to the peak and make him lose himself completely.

The woman presented by the Bai family even gave him a feeling similar to "destiny".

Li Xin's destruction of Chu seemed to be a mission given to him by heaven.

"Zhao Tuo, I already know about your stay in Wei. You pursued Wei's army in Xingyang, defeated Wei and blamed Shan Fu. Your courageous spirit is so similar to mine!"

"Although you are young, you are really a natural born general. Therefore, I have always regarded you as my arm and confidant, so I asked you to accompany me to attack Chu in front of the king."

"Now that the king is about to unify the world, it is time for us men to make contributions and gallop across the Kyushu. This time, I will destroy the Chu State together with you!"

Li Xin was in high spirits, looking at Zhao Tuo with burning eyes.

Under those piercing gazes, Zhao Tuo, who was originally entrusted by Wei Liao, could no longer say any words of remonstrance.

Li Xin in this state, who can persuade him to be cautious?

Even if Li Shiqi, who is unparalleled in eloquence, came, it would be useless.

"Tuo, in this battle against Chu, I will definitely assist the general."

Facing Li Xin's enthusiastic eyes, Zhao Tuo could only answer with a forced smile.

Later, Li Xin talked with Zhao Tuo about the war in Wei with great interest.

He greatly appreciated Zhao Tuo's pursuit of the Wei army, but he sneered at Wang Ben's practice of flooding the beams with water in March when he besieged the city.

"With strong soldiers in hand and siege equipment like giant cannons, it is really a waste to face the dying Wei State and rely on the power of the river to attack it."

"If I come, I will pretend to be defeated with a weak army, lure the defenders of Daliang out of the city, and destroy it with one blow. Then concentrate all the cannons to attack a city wall, and attack day and night. Within a month, we will definitely be able to take Daliang! In that way, we can not only destroy Wei Sheji, but also keep Daliang City instead of letting it fall into disrepair."

"This little general Wang has really inherited the general's style of play. He is safe everywhere, but in fact it is time-consuming, food and manpower. In the end, he defeated Wei and destroyed a great city in the Central Plains. Why not let me Go for a quick attack."

Li Xin's voice was full of sarcasm, as if he didn't see Wang Ben in his eyes.

Zhao Tuo agreed submissively, facing Li Xin in this state, he didn't even dare to refute.

In the evening, Zhao Tuo finished his meal at Li Xin's mansion, and then walked out of Li's mansion in a daze.

He turned his head, and through the walls and houses, he seemed to be able to see Li Xin holding the Bai family girl in his arms, his face full of pride.

"He has regarded himself as the heir of Lord Wu An."

Zhao Tuo sighed, he didn't know if Li Xin in the original history was like this.

But in this time and space, perhaps because of Zhao Tuo's participation, the battle to destroy Yan was promoted in advance, and Li Xin intercepted and killed King Yan's convoy.

This Li Xin, whose pride and self-confidence have reached the extreme, no one can dissuade him.

No one can persuade Qin Wangzheng.

No one can persuade Li Xin.

In addition, Mr. Changping, who lived in Huaiyang and was smiling all over his face.

Thinking of this, Zhao Tuo couldn't help trembling.

He remembered when he entered the mansion, because he was moved by Li Xin's kindness to him, he said in his heart the words to help him as much as possible.

Zhao Tuo shook his head bitterly.

"This battle is dangerous and cannot be saved."

"When you're on the battlefield, it's more important to save your life!"

Two in one big chapter (4K), I finished writing Li Xin's plot in one go, and it's gone today.

I will save up my manuscripts later, and I am going to update 10,000 words tomorrow.

In the next plot, there is only one operation in Chu State and autumn harvest retting, and then you can go to war.
