General Qin

lieutenant general.

He is the deputy of the commander-in-chief of an army, and not only has the duty of assisting the commander-in-chief. In the event of an accident, such as injury, illness or even death in battle, the chief general has the power to temporarily command other generals and command the entire army.

Now that coach Li Xin was officially appointed, it was time for Qin Wangzheng to announce the appointment of a deputy general.

In the hall, countless people looked at the Mengshi father and son standing beside Li Xin.

To be precise, they were looking at Meng Wu.

Meng Wu, the son of the former General Meng Ao.

He has fought on the battlefield for decades, and has rich experience in fighting on the battlefield. Now that he was specially recruited by Qin Wangzheng from the outside, who else can be the deputy general of Chu Chu this time?

As long as the courtiers with a bit of experience in the political field know what the next appointment will be, even Wei Liao, who has always been dark-faced, can't help nodding slightly when he sees Meng Wu's mature and stable face.

It seems that the king is not proud to the extreme, calling Meng Wu back to assist Li Xin in the expedition, this configuration is indeed more secure.

Only two people in the hall had different expressions.

One is Zhao Tuo, his eyes are turning around the faces of the Meng family and his son.

From Meng Tian's slightly smug smile and slightly raised chin, Zhao Tuo felt that Meng Tian might have been revealed that he intends to appoint him as a lieutenant general.

In this way, wouldn't Meng Tian be disappointed today?

Thinking of this, Zhao Tuo looked at Meng Tian with weird eyes.

Just as Zhao Tuo thought, Meng Tian was smiling at this moment.

He noticed that the eyes of many ministers and ministers in the court were looking at "him", which made Meng Tian even more excited, and his face was flushed with excitement.

His Majesty's trusted leader, Shi Lisi, was smiling at me.

Bang Wei Wei Liao also nodded at me.

Even the old prime minister Kai Xiang opened his squinted eyes and looked at my majestic body.

Zhao Tuo, who had just been honored as the head of the right concubine, was also looking up at me with admiration.

There is also the king, he is also looking at me and smiling, although the smile looks a little weird, it must be a smile full of encouragement.

Although I, Meng Tian, ​​am young, I am favored by the King!

Meng Tian tilted his head slightly, looking at Meng Wu next to him.

He has never told Meng Wu about the king's intention to appoint him as the deputy general of Fachu, just hoping to surprise his father in this hall.

Meng Tian proudly told his father that he wanted to use the position of Fa Chu's lieutenant general.

Your son, Meng Wu, has already been able to hold the banner of three generations of good generals of Montessori, and will definitely lead Montessori to a more brilliant future in the future.

What's wrong with this kid?

Meng Wu was slightly surprised, and noticed Meng Tian's strange expression beside him.

He was suddenly ordered to return to Xianyang this time, guessing that he was probably going to be appointed as the deputy general for this attack on Chu, and the eyes of the surrounding officials made him more sure of this. This can be regarded as a normal operation, after all, Meng Wu's qualifications are placed here, and he is more than enough to be the deputy general of Fachu.

It's just why my son looks at me like this?

Just when the father and son looked at each other strangely.

The aloof Qin Wangzheng spoke up.

"In this battle against Chu, the main commander will be General Li Xin, and the deputy general..."

Hearing this, Meng Tian already straightened his chest and raised his head, even raised half of his foot.

He just waited for the king's words to fall, and then he would walk into the hall gracefully, like Li Xin just now, in front of the ministers of court, government and ministers, and speak boldly and boldly.

Thank you, my lord. Minister Mengtian will definitely assist General Li Xin wholeheartedly, and this time he will conquer Chu, and he will surely win a big victory. The 800-year-old state of Chu will be destroyed, and the captives will be sacrificed to Xianyang!

Saying this should be quite imposing, and my father will definitely look at me in shock.

Meng Tian had a draft in his heart, when he thought of Meng Wu's surprised expression, he felt secretly refreshed, like a child who wanted to show off in front of his father.

In the next second, Qin Wangzheng's voice fell.

"The deputy will be General Meng Wu. Both General Li and General Meng are the pillars of our Qin State. I also hope that this battle can show the power of our Qin State and return the state of Chu!"

"Thanks……"

The first word has already been uttered from Meng Tian's mouth, and he raised his foot and took half a step. But immediately after, Meng Tian froze on the spot, swallowing the words that came to his throat abruptly.

Meng... Wu?

How could it be father!

Just when Meng Tian's face was full of disbelief, and his face was flushed red.

Meng Wu's tall body passed by him, and walked into the hall to thank him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Minister Meng Wu will definitely assist General Li Xin in defeating Chu and return it to the state of Chu for eight hundred years!"

Meng Wu's majestic voice resounded in his ears, and Meng Tian felt like his body was being struck by lightning, trembling unceasingly, even his legs were weak, and he was a little unsteady in standing.

"General Zhonglang?"

Beside him, a military officer noticed something was wrong with Meng Tian and asked softly.

"nothing."

Meng Tian gritted his teeth and said, his ears were turning red.

Perhaps hearing the movement behind him, Meng Wu looked back and saw Meng Tian's face flushed with excitement, even his hands were trembling, so he couldn't help frowning.

I'm not just a lieutenant general, do you need to be so excited?

He is almost thirty years old, and he is not prudent at all, and the court is so gaffe. If things go on like this, how can we carry the banner of Montessori's good general?

It seems that I have to teach well when I go back.

...

"Meng Tian."

In the depths of the Qin Palace, in a pavilion.

Qin Wangzheng leaned on the railing and looked into the distance. He couldn't help laughing when he thought of the scene of the court meeting, especially the strange expressions on the faces of Meng Tian and his son.

"Zhao Tuo's idea of ​​changing generals is indeed more secure, but in the end he wronged Meng Tian. It seems that after this attack on Chu, I have to make up for Meng Tian. Then let him go to conquer Qi. Qi is better than Jing. Chu is weaker, let Meng Tian be the general, it should be no problem."

Qin Wangzheng laughed while talking, for Meng Tian, ​​he still loves him very much, otherwise he would not ask Meng Tian if he intends to assist Li Xin in defeating Chu.

Of course, he was just asking, and didn't say any promises.

Just like when he asked Li Si if he intended to marry the royal family.

Revealing that meaning can increase the enthusiasm of the other party, and at the same time, it does not make certain promises, leaving some room for maneuver. This is the technique of controlling subordinates mastered by Qin Wangzheng.

A word from a gentleman is hard to follow.

Not to mention the mouth of the king, let alone accept it at will.

Of course, Qin Wangzheng is not an untrustworthy person. Since he can ask people, he must have that meaning. For example, Meng Tian's matter this time, if Zhao Tuo hadn't proposed a strategy of changing generals, the post of deputy general would definitely fall on Meng Tian's head, he was definitely not asking empty words.

There is also the idea of ​​marrying Li Si. If Zhao Tuo hadn't appeared, there would be no other choice for this matter.

Thinking of this, the expression on Qin Wangzheng's face became weird again.

"Zhao Tuo, Li You..."

As the king of a country and the lord of Qin Palace, how could he not know what happened in this palace.

"Li You is only a middle-class person, but his character is fair, and he also has talents that can be used. Li Si is Wang Zuozhi's talent, and he is familiar with the art of Legalism. Li Si is here to govern the country, and I think it will save me a lot of worry."

"As for Zhao Tuo, although he is young, he is extremely intelligent, and he has the vigor of a young man who wants to be a prince. I am very fond of him. He is brave but not impatient, and he is more mature in his actions. He is good at military tactics, and he will grow up to be a good general of our Qin State in the future. In addition, he also knows the skills of Gongshu and peasants. With such talents, it is not impossible for him to be the princess, but..."

Choose one of the two.

Qin Wangzheng rubbed his swollen temples.

Although he has other daughters, the other princesses are still young, and there is only one, Ying Yinman, who is about to marry and is approaching the age of marriage.

Although Li You is mediocre, Li Si is behind him. Zhao Tuo was talented and talented, but compared with Li Si, he was slightly inferior.

Qin Wangzheng thought and thought, and after an unknown amount of time, his expression calmed down.

He has decided.

He turned his head and looked at Zhao Gao who was standing by the side of the pavilion.

"Zhao Gao, what kind of man do you think a widow's daughter should be?"

Zhao Gao was taken aback for a moment, this is the king's family business, how dare he express his opinions randomly, he can only find a word with no mistakes or omissions.

"In my humble opinion, the royal family is noble, and the man the princess mates with must be the pillar of the country."

Qin Wangzheng smiled.

"That's right, the widow's daughter should be the pillar of the country."

"Yin Man is getting older, and in the blink of an eye, he will soon reach Jia Ji's age. I just don't know if there is a pillar of the country that can match my 200,000 troops in this battle against Chu."

Qin Wangzheng sighed, but stared at Zhao Gao with a half-smile expression on his face.

Zhao Gao trembled, and said in a low voice: "Our country of Qin has a large number of talented people. If we want to come to this battle, there will be young heroes who will make great achievements and will not disappoint the king."

He understood what the king meant.

"I hope so."

Qin Wangzheng said lightly: "Come on down, let the widows be quiet."

"only."

Zhao Gao retreated respectfully.

Only then did Qin Wangzheng turn around, leaning on the railing, looking at the palace under the high platform, and the rushing Wei River flowing outside the palace city in the distance.

"Dugong Liu, in the Bin (bīn) Siguan. The chaos caused by the Weiwei, the strength and the forging, the foundation is the reason..."

Qin Wangzheng sang an ancient poem in a low voice.

After a long time, he said quietly: "In the past, Zhou Zugong Liu crossed the Jing and Wei rivers, took stones for forging, and consolidated the foundation of his Zhou people's house."

"Today, I don't know if I can find the stone I need from this battle against Chu, and use it to consolidate the foundation of my Qin country?"

"Let's take this attack on Chu as a test."

...

"The pillars of the country can match the daughter of the king."

In the mansion, Zhao Tuo glanced at the silk book in his hand, and firmly remembered the words on it.

Instead, he threw it into the specially brought brazier, and watched the silky silk turn into ashes in the flames.

This is a message from the CRRC government order.

But Zhao Tuo knew that behind this letter was probably the meaning of the king, and it was the king who told him through Zhao Gao's hand.

If he wants to honor his daughter of Qin Wangzheng, he must show outstanding achievements in this battle against Chu, prove that he is the real pillar of Qin State, and use unquestionable achievements to block all man questioning mouth.

Let Li You, Li Si, the ruling and opposition parties of the Qin State, and even the people of the world have nothing to say about Princess Zhao Tuoshang.

Zhao Tuo murmured: "It seems that the king is partial to me."

To be honest, Zhao Tuo had a great advantage over Li You in this battle against Chu.

He is the head of the right concubine, and Li You is just the head of the left concubine.

He is Li Xin's "my arm", but Li You has no close relationship with Li Xin.

No matter how you look at it, Zhao Tuo has a much greater chance of making meritorious service than Li You.

Qin Wangzheng is also using this to hint to him that you, Zhao Tuo, want to use this advantage to attack Chu this time, make more contributions, make great contributions, and compare Li You, so that you can be qualified as a princess.

Zhao Tuo is naturally very grateful, but the problem is that Li Xin defeated Chu in history, but he returned in a big defeat!

He was chased by the Chu army for three days and three nights, broke two walls, and killed seven captains.

Du Wei, the local military officer of Qin State. After being recruited into the army, he was comparable to Yiqu Junhou, with about 5,000 people under his command, and he was a middle and senior general of the Qin Army.

Even Qin generals at the level of Duwei and Junhou were killed by the Chu people seven times. It can be seen how miserable the Qin army was defeated in this attack on Chu, and the casualties of soldiers were countless. The most miserable time since the unification war was launched.

This kind of huge defeat, not to mention Zhao Tuo, even Li Xin and Meng Wu are at risk of death if they are not careful.

It would be nice to come back alive.

Still want to do meritorious service?

Still making great contributions?

"My lord, my lord, I think you are making things difficult for me, Zhao Tuo."

While Zhao Tuo was lamenting in the room, a servant came to report outside the door.

"Gentleman, someone from Mr. Fusu's house sent a letter."

Zhao Tuo was stunned for a moment, and asked someone to fetch the letter.

Inside the sealed letter box was a piece of soft silk with a faint fragrance.

Smelling the familiar fragrance, Zhao Tuo knew that the letter was not written by Fusu, but by someone else.

Zhao Tuo smiled, opened the silk book, glanced at it, and was stunned.

There are only a few simple characters on this silk book, and the characters are so simple that anyone with a little education can understand it. But if this silk book is shown to others, even the most learned elders and Confucian scholars in this era will find it difficult to understand the meaning behind it.

"Peach Blossom Island, three test questions."

Zhao Tuo smiled, he knew what it meant.

This is a secret between Zhao Tuo and Ying Yinman.

Huang Yaoshi, the owner of Peach Blossom Island, betrothed his daughter Huang Rong to Ouyang Feng's nephew Ouyang Ke, but Huang Rong promised Guo Jing.

Huang Yaoshi set up three test questions on Peach Blossom Island, let Guo Jing and Ouyang Ke compete, the winner can worship Huang Yaoshi as his father-in-law.

Win a beauty.

The plot in that story is surprisingly similar to the situation Zhao Tuo is facing now.

"This little girl is quite good at hinting."

Zhao Tuo shook his head, the expression on his face became softer, and he looked up out of the window.

There is the direction of Qin Palace.

...

Time flies and it is almost mid-September.

With the appointment of Li Xin, the chief general of Chu, and Meng Wu, the deputy general, were issued.

The conscripted Qin army quickly assembled.

In the camp of the Qin army, the black flag fluttered, and tens of thousands of Guanzhong elites were ready to go, waiting for their commander-in-chief to go to the south to conquer the land of Jingchu.

Qin Wangzheng stood on the swearing-in platform.

He looked at Li Xin, who held his head high and was full of vigor, and Meng Wu, who stood beside Li Xin with a calm face.

And the Qin generals and Qin soldiers with their heads held high and excited faces behind them.

Li You, Xin Wu...

Zhao Tuo?

Why does this kid have a bitter face, he is about to go to the battlefield to make meritorious service, aren't you happy?

Qin Wangzheng didn't think much about it, because it was time to swear the oath.

Qin Wangzheng raised his axe in his hand and said loudly: "Sigh! Those who have six affairs, I swear to you: Jinglu insults the five elements, neglects the three righteousness, and heaven will kill him. Now I will punish Weigong from heaven! "

"Execute the punishment of the heavens and destroy the thorns!"

"Destroy the thorns and destroy the state of Chu!"

...

All the people in the audience shouted in unison, and the passionate and high-pitched voice spread all over the wilderness, making people listen to it, and the whole body was eager to burn.

After taking the oath, Qin Wangzheng ordered Li Xin to come to power, personally bestowed the axe in his hand, and gave Li Xin the tiger talisman of commanding an army of 200,000 troops.

"General Li, I will leave the matter of destroying Chu to you. When you return from victory, I will hold a banquet for you in the Xianyang Palace to celebrate your great achievements to the world!"

Li Xin knelt down and took the ax and tiger talisman bestowed by King Qin himself.

With his head held high, his eyes full of pride, he spoke loudly to the king in front of him.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I, Li Xin, will destroy the eight-hundred-year-old state of Chu and return it to my master this time. I will wipe out the treacherous captives for your Majesty, and I will rule the world!"

Happy New Year everyone!

Today is still a big chapter, wait a few days to collect some drafts, and then update the time steadily.

"Historical Records Biography of Wang Jian Baiqi": Jing Ren followed him, and without stopping for three days and three nights, he defeated Li Xin's army, entered the two walls, killed the seven captains, and the Qin army left.

"Gan Oath": The king said: "Sigh! Those who have six things, I swear to you: there is the Hu family who insulted the five elements, neglected the three righteousness, and the heaven used to kill his life. Now I am going to punish you respectfully. The left is not If you attack the left, you will not respect your orders; if you do not attack the right, you will not respect your orders; if your horse is not as upright as your horse, you will not respect your orders. If you use your life, you will reward your ancestors; .”
