General Qin

The majestic Qin Palace.

"You want to go to Weidi?"

Qin Wangzheng looked at the young man in front of him, his sword eyebrows raised slightly.

Today's him is not wearing solemn and solemn crown clothes, but a Yanju attire, wearing a training crown, and the clothes are loose, allowing him to sit comfortably on the couch.

Without the cover of the jewels on the crown, his face clearly appeared in front of Zhao Tuo.

A thirty-four-year-old man with a high nose bridge, a full forehead, and a long beard under his jaw.

Although there was no gorgeous crown to set off his status as king, the light in Qin Wangzheng's eyes was enough to make one's heart tremble just sitting there.

Zhao Tuo replied: "I heard that the king is attacking Wei, and I would like to ask for orders to go out and serve the king."

Qin Wangzheng sneered, and said, "Zhao Tuo, how long have you been a Zhonglang? It's been less than half a year, and you don't want to stay with the widow so much?"

Zhao Tuo almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, but Qin Wangzheng's words still had a hint of resentment.

But Zhao Tuo didn't dare to say it on the spot, the reason why I want to go to Wei is not because of my daughter's words.

He hastily patted up a few asses first.

"That's absolutely not the case. Your Majesty is so heroic. I want to stand by your side every moment and listen to your teachings."

Seeing that Qin Wangzheng's complexion improved because of his flattery.

Zhao Tuo immediately said: "It's just that the war in the world is not yet determined, and the war is about to start. It's time for the minister to gallop on the battlefield. The minister once said that he would like to be a prince in life and a temple food in death." Wei, I don't want to miss this great opportunity to make contributions!"

"Life is a feudal lord, death is temple food."

When Qin Wangzheng heard this, he couldn't help nodding his head slightly.

The reason why he dotes on the young man in front of him is that Zhao Tuo is indeed capable and knows what he wants. There is also a big reason because Zhao Tuo has the unique drive and vigor of young people.

Just like Li Xin back then.

Such a young man is the future of Qin!

"Can't wait for half a year? If there are no accidents in this war, it won't be long before Wei is destroyed. After the autumn harvest, the widows will raise an army to attack Chu. At that time, you will be able to follow Li Xin into battle." Qin Wangzheng said faintly. Said.

Hearing Li Xin's name, Zhao Tuo's eyelids twitched.

The reason why he asked to kill Wei, besides the relationship with the princess, was to try to see if he could change Li Xin's fate of defeating Chu.

As long as he can make contributions in defeating Wei, he can go up one level to reach the level of five doctors.

You can be qualified to become a leading captain.

Of course, it's just a qualification, not a guarantee.

In the past few years, as the Qin State launched many wars to destroy the country, many battles continued, and many people continued to upgrade with military merits, which led to the depreciation of titles within the army.

The appointment of generals is generally arranged in descending order of title.

But each time the number of generals and schools leading the army is limited, while the number of nobles is increasing.

In this case, if one is unlucky and there are few positions but many nobles, the five doctors may even be kicked out to become a master of two or five hundred.

So Zhao Tuo wanted to make some more credits in the battle of destroying Wei, even if he could only advance to one level, he would be able to compete with others more in the future when he defeated Chu.

The battle against Chu is extremely dangerous, so if you bring more soldiers, the result may be different.

Therefore, in the face of Qin Wangzheng's questioning again.

Zhao Tuo said in a firm tone: "I also ask for the permission of the king, and I am willing to go to the battlefield."

Zhao Tuo kowtowed and bowed with a very earnest expression.

The Qin palace was silent and the atmosphere was oppressive.

After a long time, Qin Wangzheng sighed quietly.

"In that case, then you can go."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Tuo was overjoyed, Qin Wangzheng really favored him, and finally agreed to his request.

Seeing Zhao Tuo leaving happily, Qin Wangzheng sat on the couch with a faint smile on his lips.

"Is it because of her?"

...

Qin Wangzheng agreed to Zhao Tuo's request to participate in the battle against Wei, and after Zhao Tuo left the palace, he went to the Bangwei Mansion to register his name.

Zhao Tuo originally intended to take this opportunity to visit Wei Liao, who is a master of the art of war, but it is a pity that it is the busiest time in the Bangwei Mansion, and everyone from top to bottom is busy.

As the highest military organization of the Qin State, all the overall planning of the war, the recruitment of personnel, the transportation of food and fodder, etc. were all in charge of the Bangwei Mansion, so at this moment, Wei Liao had no time at all.

Zhao Tuo could only give up and set his sights on another person.

Pinyang County.

The hometown of Wang Jian, the great concubine.

Ever since the celebration banquet, Wang Jian had an insight into Qin Wangzheng's thoughts, and took the initiative to thank his illness and return to his old age.

Qin Wangzheng agreed to Wang Jian's request to return to his hometown after politely staying a few words.

The former general of the Qin State, after taking off his armor, became extraordinarily energetic. Compared with his weak and weak appearance when he was talking and sneezing when he was in Yandi, Wang Jian now speaks with such air that he can even eat two big bowls of food.

Watching Wang Jian finish another bowl of corn and rice.

Zhao Tuo praised: "The general is so strong!"

Wang Jian laughed loudly and boasted: "You have never seen this old man when he was young. What are these things in front of you? At that time, even if it was hard to swallow rough rice, this old man could eat five big bowls in one go, hehe. "

Zhao Tuo showed an expression of admiration.

He thought of the allusion of Lian Po.

Wang Jian is very easy-going, especially now that he is old, and he has no airs.

When Zhao Tuo talked to him, it was like chatting with an old man next door, without any sense of restraint.

In addition, Wang Jian kept him for dinner and made a joke, obviously treating Zhao Tuo as a close junior.

In this way, Zhao Tuo has no scruples.

He opened his mouth and said: "The boy came to visit the general this time to inquire about something, and I would like to ask the general for advice."

Wang Jian showed such an expression that it was true, he laughed and said: "I knew it was so. You kid is not guarding the princess in the palace, but you even came to me, an old man, if you say nothing happened, I'm afraid you are lying. people."

Zhao Tuo was sweating profusely, this Wang Jian stayed in his hometown, how could he even know about his affairs in the palace.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Tuo locked on the suspect.

Wang Li!

I didn't expect this guy to be a serious person on the surface, but he turned out to be a big mouth in private.

Zhao Tuo kept it in his heart, and said with a naive smile, "What's the matter, I still miss the general's teachings very much after the last year's farewell."

"Hey, let's stop talking about this. If you have something to say, just say it directly. Could it be that you want to ask the old man about the war against Wei?" Wang Jian laughed.

Zhao Tuo shook his head.

"No, what I want to ask is about the battle against Chu."

"Fachu?"

Wang Jian was stunned for a moment, and a bright light flashed in his eyes: "That matter will be in the next year, what are you thinking about now?"

Zhao Tuo whispered: "General, with an army of 200,000, is it really possible to destroy Chu?"

Wang Jian smiled faintly. He had already expressed his attitude at the celebration banquet before, and said, "Anyway, if the old man destroys Chu, it will take 600,000 people. As for Li Xin, hehe..."

Zhao Tuo asked again: "What does the general think will be the result of General Li's attack on Chu this time?"

Wang Jian narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Chu is a big country. Although it is dilapidated now, it should not be underestimated. In addition, Chu general Xiang Yan, I met him once when I was young, so I am not a weak enemy..."

Wang Jian sighed for a while, but didn't say what he thought. Presumably he was quite taboo about this matter.

Zhao Tuo gritted his teeth and directly stated the purpose of his visit.

"Then I would like to ask the general, if our army encounters a certain situation that leads to defeat on the battlefield and is followed by General Chu..."

...

When Zhao Tuo came back from Pinyang, he already had a bottom line in his heart. Although the world is unpredictable and may not be useful at that time, compared to the original state of confusion, he has a little more hope and certainty.

Time gradually passed, as the spring plowing was over.

The imperial edict of Qin Wangzheng was issued from the Qin Palace and spread throughout the world.

"The Great King said: The king of Wei has no way, and he made an appointment to submit to Qin. He has broken the alliance and wants to attack Qin with Han and Zhao Yu."

"Order General Wang Ben to attack Wei with the troops of Huaiyang."

The battle of Qin to destroy Wei has officially begun!

"Historical Records: The Chronicle of Qin Shihuang": King Wei made an appointment to submit to Qin, and then he conspired with Han and Zhao to attack Qin, and Qin soldiers and officials punished him.
