General Qin

Zhao Tuo looked at Li Xin expectantly.

It was very quiet in the tent, and there was a night wind blowing outside the tent from time to time, making the sound of "hoo hoo".

The smile on Li Xin's face disappeared, he raised his head, his eyes stared at Zhao Tuo, and the softness in his eyes left at some point.

He did not comment on Zhao Tuo's opinion, but said indifferently: "You don't want me to surprise Shouchun."

Li Xin was very smart and sensitive, and he immediately understood the true meaning of this so-called strategy.

Zhao Tuo's talk is full of hype, but the core is just to change his established strategy.

Seeing that his idea was shattered by Li Xin, Zhao Tuo did not deny it, and nodded silently.

"Although you, Zhao Tuo, agree with me, you actually agree with Meng Wu and Xin Wu's style of play. You think it is unwise for me to attack Shouchun suddenly. If I am not careful, I will be in danger of overthrowing the army. You don't want to let I will go, but you are very smart, you will not persuade me directly like Xin Wu, but want to use this roundabout way to persuade me to change."

Li Xin said lightly, with a look of disappointment in his eyes.

"Zhao Tuo, Zhao Tuo, you don't understand me after all. You people always have to consider this kind of risk, that kind of risk. But war, there are so many things to consider. Fighting opportunities are fleeting."

"In the past, Lord Wu'an led tens of thousands of troops to attack Chu. He alone went deep into the hinterland of Chu. He did not bring any food and fodder, but only plundered food and grass from the people of Chu to supply the military supplies. He destroyed the bridges behind him, burned the boats crossing the river, and broke the river. This way, the soldiers were able to defeat Yan in one fell swoop, and Ying was defeated in World War II, and the people of Chu were frightened to move their capital and flee eastward, and they made extraordinary achievements.”

"If Mr. Wu An was as fearful as you were back then, then my state of Qin is still entangled with the people of Chu in Nanjun, how can I go to the point where I am swallowing the world today."

Zhao Tuo understood.

Li Xin was completely lost in the old myth of Lord Wu'an. He accepted Bai Qi's daughter, and he had already set himself against Bai Qi. His so-called surprise attack on Shouchun was actually the same strategy that Bai Qi used to attack Chu A reprint of "Heart Tactics".

But Li Xin, can he really be compared to Bai Qi?

"Last year in Yandi, you offered the plan of intercepting and killing the west of Liaoning. All the generals thought it was too risky and rash, but I finally agreed. It was not how much I believed in your plan at that time. It was your brave spirit. I appreciate your aura, and I can see my former self in you."

Speaking of this, Li Xin shook his head and sighed softly: "Unfortunately, you are different from me after all. In this battle, since I have set up a strategy for raiding Shouchun, I will not change it. Your strategy is very good, but it is not what I want. If you want, you go back."

After finishing speaking, Li Xin lowered his head, staring at the wooden case where the military slips were stacked in a daze.

There was silence in the tent.

After a while, Li Xin raised his head and saw that Zhao Tuo still hadn't left, he couldn't help frowning and said, "Why, do you still want to persuade?"

Although the young man in front of him is very fond of him, but if he wants to take advantage of it and try to change his established strategy, then Li Xin will never indulge him, and he must give him a good reprimand.

However, beyond Li Xin's expectation, what Zhao Tuo said next surprised him.

"The general misunderstood me."

"Misunderstand?"

"The reason why I don't want the general to go to Shouchun is because someone in our army may have leaked the general's information to the Chu army. In this way, the general's trip is like going deep into the Tiger Mountain!"

Zhao Tuo gritted his teeth and opened his mouth.

Since ingenious persuasion was useless, if he, Zhao Tuo, still wanted to save Li Xin, he could only open the skylight and speak out, and directly make a bold statement to see if he could frighten Li Xin.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Li Xin's thick black eyebrows frowned.

"Are you saying that there is a traitor in my Qin army?"

Zhao Tuo nodded.

Li Xin asked: "Before I left Huaiyang, only Meng Wu and a group of generals who participated in the military discussion knew about my surprise attack strategy. After setting out on the road, although many generals in this army knew the purpose of this trip, but We rushed all the way, and there was no chance to pass on the news. So when you say there are traitors in the army, do you mean that some people under Meng Wu's command surrendered to the enemy?"

Li Xin's expression became serious. If it is really beneficial for a general-level person to seek refuge in Chu State, it will definitely be a big scandal, and it will have a great impact on this battle.

Zhao Tuo shook his head and said, "It's not a lieutenant general."

Li Xin was startled, and after a little thought, he came to his senses. His eyes were wide open, and a large amount of blood began to appear on his face.

"Zhao Tuo!"

Li Xin jumped up against the case, and because of the great force, all the bamboo slips and slips piled up on the case were thrown away.

He roared angrily: "Well, you Zhao Tuo, you dare to doubt the prince! You are so courageous, you know that those who made false accusations in the state of Qin will be convicted instead, you are looking for death!"

Zhao Tuo looked calm. He naturally knew that Qin Lv's punishment for false accusers was very cruel. If Mr. Changping did not rebel in the end, as long as the incident got out, Zhao Tuo would be punished for treason after the war. There will never be less punishments such as beheading in half and being split by a car. Even the title of You Shuchang can't save his life.

So when he said this just now, Zhao Tuo took a great risk. If he hadn't seen that other methods had lost their effect, he would not have said such a thing in front of Li Xin, trying to make a final recovery.

Li Xin's kindness to him is worthy of Zhao Tuo's repayment.

"Before I left, I went to Huaiyang to visit Marquis Huanjun. I happened to see a man from Chu in the city coming out of Lord Changping's mansion. His behavior was very sneaky. Especially after seeing me, he fled into the alley in panic. From the looks of it, there is definitely something wrong with this person.”

Zhao Tuo said calmly, now that they are far away from Huaiyang, no matter what they say, it is difficult to find evidence for it, and when he asked to see Huan Zhao in Huaiyang City, he did pass by Changping Lord's mansion.

Li Xin also calmed down at this moment.

"Who else saw it? Have your short soldiers seen it before?"

Zhao Tuo shook his head and said, "I only caught a glimpse, and the man ran into the alley in a panic. I'm afraid the short soldiers didn't see him."

Li Xin sneered.

"Let's not talk about whether there is such a person sneaking in and out of the Junhou's mansion. Even if there is, what does it have to do with the Junhou leaking military information? So you, Zhao Tuo, just falsely accused the Junhou without evidence."

"But Mr. Changping is the son of King Chu, and now we are fighting against Chu again, destroying the state of Chu. At this time, we must guard against it!" Zhao Tuo gritted his teeth and said, "If Mr. Changping really takes If the general's marching plan is revealed, the road ahead is a trap. The general might as well change his strategy temporarily, so that he can surprise the Chu army and avoid danger. Military struggles are a matter of life and death. Don't be afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of Just in case!"

Li Xin's eyes widened, and he scolded: "Absurd! You, Zhao Tuo, based on the fact that the prince is in the blood of the Chu state, then randomly guessed that the prince will leak military information to the people of Chu. It is absolutely ridiculous! Although the prince is the son of the king of Chu , but it is also the blood of my King Qin's family, and a Qin person who was born in Qin and grew up in Qin! The prince has been the prime minister of Qin for nearly ten years, and the king trusts him and reuses him, so how can the prince betray him? My state of Qin's thoughts!"

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

"I, Li Xin, believe in the Lord!"

Li Xin said firmly, Changping Jun's gentle and kind smile appeared in his mind.

How can such a noble elder, who is doing his best for the country, treats people kindly, and speaks like a spring breeze, be a traitor in the army.

Zhao Tuo really couldn't produce solid evidence to prove that Mr. Changping would betray him, so he could only plead with his face, and hissed: "Please believe me once, General. If Zhao Tuo makes a mistake in his judgment, Zhao Tuo is willing to suffer any punishment, General, or not?" please believe……"

"Zhao Tuo, don't say any more. I will pretend that today's incident never happened. Get out immediately."

Li Xin stretched out his hand and pointed at the tent door, and issued the order to evict the guests.

Zhao Tuo glanced at Li Xin, seeing his cold eyes and livid face, he knew that there was no room for change in this matter.

His persuasion failed.

Zhao Tuo got up and bowed heavily to Li Xin again.

"General, Zhao Tuo is greedy. I still have one request, and I ask the general to fulfill it."

Li Xin didn't speak.

"General, please allow me to act alone, and Zhao Tuo will repay you with all my strength."

Zhao Tuo kowtowed to the ground.

Looking at Zhao Tuo who was lying on the ground begging, Li Xin's eyes were a little wandering. In a trance, he thought of the young man in front of him in Yandi who was full of spirits and offered him a plan to intercept and kill him.

Times have changed and people's hearts have changed.

After a long time, Li Xin sighed quietly.

"Go out, you don't have to follow me to Shouchun tomorrow."

"Zhao Tuo, this is the last time. After today, you can take care of yourself."

"Thank you General."

Zhao Tuo looked up and saw that Li Xin didn't look at him, but looked sideways at the wooden frame with axes not far away.

Zhao Tuo knew that what Li Xin said just now had exhausted his friendship with him.

There was a deep rift between the two of them.

No matter what the result is, there is no going back to the past.

In the military tent, candles flickered.

Under the dim and flickering light, Li Xin's young face was shrouded in shadow, and his thin lips were tightly pressed, showing the unrest in his heart.

"I hope the general will take to heart what Zhao Tuo just said."

"Zhao Tuo, farewell."

Li Xin did not respond, his eyes were still fixed on the ax on the wooden frame.

Zhao Tuo sighed softly, turned around and walked outside the tent.

Silence returned in the military tent.

After a long time, Li Xin jumped up suddenly, grabbed the axe, raised it high, and then slammed it on the wooden frame.

The broken wood was scattered all over the place.

"Zhao Tuo!"

"Even you did that to me!"

Li Xin's eyes were red, and he let out a low growl.

"Why do you all question my strategy!"

"You Zhao Tuo are my confidants, why do you treat me like this!"

"Zhao Tuo, Meng Wu, Xin Wu... you all just wait and see. I, Li Xin, will definitely destroy the capital of Chu and capture the king of Chu on this trip, so that you can know who is right!"

"There is also the prince, I, Li Xin, believe that he will never betray Qin!"

Li Xin's whisper echoed in the tent.

Outside the tent, the night was getting dark, the stars and the moon in the sky were covered by a dark cloud, and the sky and the earth were swallowed by darkness.

Only the burning torches in the barracks still illuminate Zhao Tuo's way forward.

"Marquis Zhao."

When the short soldiers guarding the gate saw Zhao Tuo coming out, they hurriedly greeted him.

Zhao Tuo nodded, and couldn't help turning his head to look at the big tent behind him. There, most of it was shrouded in darkness.

"General Li, take care."

Zhao Tuo muttered, his eyes were a little moist.

In history, Li Xin defeated Chu, although he was defeated, but his life was not harmed, and he returned to Qin alive.

However, in today's time and space, the historical process has long been disturbed by Zhao Tuo, the battle of defeating Chu has been advanced, and Li Xin's strategy of defeating Chu has also changed.

On the battlefield, life and death are only a moment.

Every change will bring unpredictable results.

In the past when the Qin army attacked Zhao, Huan Jue, the general of the Qin State, was beheaded by Li Mu on the battlefield.

Even a general of Huanju's level is at risk of dying in battle, let alone Li Xin, a lone army that went deep into Chu.

Perhaps this farewell will never see each other again.

Thinking of this, Zhao Tuo knelt heavily on the ground again, and kowtowed to Li Xin's handsome tent in the astonished eyes of the soldiers around him.

After a while, he got up and left.

Only a group of short soldiers with astonished expressions were left, looking at each other in blank dismay.

...

Go back to your camp.

Zhao Tuo asked people to recruit two to five hundred lords under his command and five hundred lords under his direct control to come to him.

Shejian, Heiyu, Xiqigu, Zhao Guang, Bai Rong, Zhang He and others all gathered in Zhao Tuo's tent.

Everyone's table is full of meat, as well as slightly cloudy wine.

"Hey, the military marquis is really kind, he even asked us to come to the tent for a drink in the middle of the night."

Black Butt giggled, and after sitting down, he picked up a roasted dog leg and gnawed it.

The rest of the people sat upright, staring at Zhao Tuo who was seated in the chief seat.

Their military marshal, with no expression on his face at the moment, could tell at a glance that he was in a bad mood, which was something they rarely saw.

No one spoke first, the tent was silent and depressing, only the sound of black butt tearing dog meat kept ringing out.

But soon, Heibutt also noticed something was wrong, he quickly stopped his mouth, put the dog leg in his hand quietly on the wooden case, rubbed his hands under the wooden case, wiped off the oil and water, followed everyone to look at Zhao Tuo.

"Sir, what happened?"

Shejian asked, he has the best relationship with Zhao Tuo, and he is not afraid of being blamed.

Zhao Tuo glanced at the generals in the tent, and said calmly: "Tomorrow our army will set off from camp and enter the hinterland of Chu State. Although there is a chance of winning, we will inevitably go deep alone. There is a danger of overthrowing the army. Can you be afraid?"

Hearing this, Heizhi laughed first, and said: "What did the military officer say? When we go to the battlefield, we are naturally prepared to die on the battlefield. The worst result is that people die and birds turn to the sky. What's so scary."

Shejian also laughed and said: "Follow the military officer, why not be afraid!"

Xi Qigu, Zhao Guang, Bai Rong, Zhang He and others looked at each other and said: "We have no fear!"

In a world of great strife, wars are frequent, enlisting in the army, fighting on the battlefield, and life and death are things that everyone has long overlooked. It is best to be alive, but if you die in battle, that is the result you have already accepted.

Zhao Tuo smiled, and asked again: "Then all the gentlemen are willing to die for me, Zhao Tuo, even if the road ahead is a dead end, I have no regrets to follow."

Hei Bi immediately replied: "Needless to say, as long as you, Zhao Junhou, say something, even if the road ahead is full of swords and spears, I, Hei Bi, dare to charge forward with open eyes!"

"I, Xiqigu, will never forget the kindness of the military marshal's support and support, and I will die as a military marshal!"

The rest of the generals also cupped their hands and said, "I am willing to die for the army!"

Shejian stood up and looked at Zhao Tuo fixedly.

He said in a deep voice: "No matter what the road ahead is, as long as you go forward, I, Shejian, will never hesitate. Even if it is a road of ten deaths and no life, I will follow you, Zhao Tuo!"

"You can do whatever you want. Don't say it's us, there are a lot of people in this battalion, as long as you Zhao Junhou has a word, five thousand people are willing to die for you!"

"Since you love Zhao Tuo, Zhao Tuo will never let you down. Even though the road ahead is dangerous, I will find a way out for you!"

"Come on, drink!"

Zhao Tuo stood up and toasted the generals.

Li Xin made his choice.

He Zhao Tuo will also make his own choice.

...

On the second day, the sun had just revealed half of its face on the distant horizon.

Outside Pingyu City, the horses began to move forward, and the wheels rolled slowly.

Li Xin left 500 soldiers to guard the city, and then he personally led 25,000 soldiers and headed eastward.

The chariots and horses were galloping, followed by the infantry, and they were going to raid the sleeping hill two hundred miles away.

Standing on his chariot, Zhao Tuo watched the banner of "Mengwu" drift away in the distance, and finally disappeared into the distance, never to be seen again.

He turned his head and looked behind him, the soldiers who had been lined up neatly, each carrying ten days' worth of food.

Those eyes that were mixed with nervousness and anticipation also fell on Zhao Tuo.

"Let's go!"

Zhao Tuo spoke.

The emperor controls the horses and drives the chariot.

The flag representing the army is flying in the air.

Five thousand soldiers walked silently, following behind the flag.

This time, they headed south.

Hundreds of miles away, the Huai River is rolling...
