General Qin

"Your Majesty hates Xiong Qi so deeply, I really can't stand it for a moment."

Zhao Tuo, who returned to his home in the middle of the night, still flashed in his mind from time to time the angry appearance of Qin Wangzheng on the bed in the palace.

Only a few months had passed since Li Xin's defeat, and Qin Wangzheng couldn't wait to start preparing for the second battle against Chu.

The main general will be Wang Jian, which has already been confirmed.

The military strength should be the 600,000 people proposed by Wang Jian before, otherwise Qin Wangzheng would not have said such words as "throwing all the soldiers of the country".

Judging from the appearance of Qin Wangzheng and the estimated time, all parts of the Qin State should have started recruiting and counting soldiers, as well as transporting grain and fodder, and they can send troops only after the spring plowing, launching another war of destroying the country, and humiliating it with snow.

Zhao Tuo had already expressed his determination in the palace, and after returning to the mansion, he wondered whether he could be promoted to a noble again if he won the battle to destroy Chu this time?

Of course, after thinking about it for a while, Zhao Tuo threw all these thoughts out of his mind.

he is tired.

The long-term battle on the battlefield and the life-and-death crisis that appeared at any time in Chudi made Zhao Tuo exhausted physically and mentally.

Now back to Xianyang's mansion, back to the long-lost bed, Zhao Tuo couldn't hold on any longer, and fell down.

...

"Kill, second and third sons, follow me!"

"Play the drums for me!"

"Shejian, where is Shejian?"

Zhao Tuo opened his eyes suddenly, and got up from the couch in a jerk, feeling his heart pounding, and he instinctively wanted to get the armor hanging on the wooden frame next to him.

As a result of this movement, Zhao Tuo realized that he was lying between the soft quilts, looking around, this is not a tent on the battlefield, but his mansion in Xianyang.

"I'm already home."

Zhao Tuo blinked his slightly confused eyes and woke up completely.

"PTSD?"

He laughed at himself, got up and put on his clothes, opened the door and went out. The maid in the mansion had already prepared washing utensils and food for him.

They were said to be maids, but they were actually women in their thirties and forties, with quick hands and feet, but ordinary appearance.

"What time is it?"

"Back to the gentleman, it is now the middle of the day."

"Midday?"

Zhao Tuo was taken aback, he had slept for so long.

But there was nothing he could do, he was really too tired.

Although the battle against Chu was only a few months long, there were murderous opportunities everywhere on the battlefield. If he was not careful, there was a risk of annihilation of the entire army. Zhao Tuo had to be on guard all the time, fearing that because of his own mistakes, thousands of people would be killed. Everyone died together, and they didn't have a peaceful night's sleep throughout the winter. Now that they've relaxed, they can sleep until noon.

The maid reported again: "Your Majesty, some of the five senior officials and the Grand Duke said that they are the subordinates of the Gentleman in the army, and they came to the mansion to wait for the Gentleman at dawn."

Zhao Tuo nodded, presumably it was Shejian and the others.

After washing up, Zhao Tuo walked towards the lobby of the mansion.

As soon as they met, they saw Shejian, Heiyu, Xiqigu, Zhao Guang, Bai Rong and Zhang He talking and waiting for him in the hall.

Seeing Zhao Tuo coming in, everyone stood up and saluted, "I've seen the military officer."

Zhao Tuo walked to the chief seat and sat down, and said, "Now that the war is over, if you are not in the army, you don't need to be called a military officer."

Bai Rong laughed and said, "We're all used to being called military marshals, but if we don't call them for a while, we're not used to them."

But the black butt rolled his eyes, and grinned: "I know, it must be that our Zhao Zhonggener dislikes the position of military marshal for being too small. Tsk tsk, the title of Zhonggeng, if he is placed in the army, he must be a general, right? Even the captain is inferior, it seems that we have to call General Zhao, hehe."

Zhang He followed suit and said: "That is, that is, with Zhao Zhonggeng's ability, not to mention being a general, I think he can even be a general."

"Don't praise me less, be cautious in your words and deeds."

Zhao Tuo glared at the two of them, good guy, Li Xin was probably promoted by people like Heizhi and Zhang He back then.

Zhao Tuo, who often reminded himself about General Li, naturally would not be influenced by these two people. After reprimanding them, he asked Zhao Guang and Shejian, "Have all the soldiers gone back?"

Shejian replied: "Yesterday, the king had a feast for all the soldiers and gave out rewards. Today, he was dispatched outside the city early in the morning to distribute amulets for the soldiers, and the soldiers went back to their hometowns. There are many generals, thinking that we will lead everyone to go to the The Marquis bid farewell to thank the Marquis for his life. Zhao Guang and I felt that this was inappropriate, so we refused."

"You guys are doing great."

Zhao Tuo broke out in a cold sweat.

Thousands of soldiers bid farewell to him in Xianyang together. It sounded like a lot of face, and it was enough to be talked about by people, saying that Zhao Tuo was a good general because he could win the hearts of the soldiers.

But for a courtier, that is actually a big trouble, and it will leave endless hidden dangers for Zhao Tuo.

Fortunately, Zhao Guang and Shejian were prudent and did not let this happen, otherwise Zhao Tuo would have to worry about it again.

After talking about this matter, everyone chatted a few more words, and finally talked about farewell.

"Haha, it's been a year, and Naigong can finally go home."

"Yeah, we can finally go back."

People with families such as Hei Hip, Bai Rong, Zhao Guang, etc. were full of thoughts of going back to their hometowns, to see their relatives who were waiting for their prime ministers at home.

Wei Shejian has no family members, looks indifferent, and has no feeling about returning home, but looks at Zhao Tuo with reluctance.

Zhao Tuo's heart was moved, and he invited: "Jian, if you are interested, you can stay in my house, let's have a good time together, and learn the art of war."

Shejian was startled, the corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily, and he nodded slowly.

"Okay, A Tuo, you really prefer this Shejian, you don't even ask me to stay with you!"

Black Butt yelled in displeasure.

Zhao Tuo rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, then your black buttocks will also stay, and the three of us will be together."

Heizhi blinked, and said with a sneer: "Forget it, I'd better go back, and don't disturb you two learning the art of war, anyway, I can't learn this kind of thing."

"When I go back, I'll wait to arrange a position for me. I've heard people say that with my title of Five Doctors, I can be the Sima, Fanu, Sikong of a county, and even the captain of some places. It's not impossible. Hehe, by then, my black buttock will be a high-ranking official."

Speaking of this, the black hip couldn't help showing anticipation, quite happy.

If there is a vacancy for a corresponding position in the local area for the heavy princes of the Qin State, especially high princes like the five doctors, and they meet the qualification requirements, they will arrange appointments. Under normal circumstances, what Black Butt said is very likely to be implemented, but...

Zhao Tuo looked solemn, and said to everyone: "Don't think too much about the appointment, because the war... is coming again. Your Majesty has appointed old General Wang Jian as the commander-in-chief. He will conquer Chu again after the spring plowing."

"What!"

Everyone was shocked, because the time was so fast that it was completely unexpected.

Zhao Tuo didn't hide it, because the whole Qin State is starting to count and recruit soldiers, and all the lieutenant mansions are busy, and they will know about it when they go back. It's not a secret.

"The previous 5,000 soldiers should be exempted from military service in this battle, but generals of our level have traveled thousands of miles in Chu, and they are very familiar with Chu, so they will definitely be recruited to the battlefield. So you must prepare early , Take a good rest in the past two months and spend time with your family."

Everyone was silent.

But immediately, Heiji laughed loudly and said: "Just hit him, I'm afraid he's a bird! Naigong is going to Shouchun again to scare the King of Chu. This time, it's best to catch the King of Chu and let him go!" Naigong see if his butt is dark."

Hearing this, everyone laughed together, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.

Soon, everyone chatted about some things, and then left.

Zhao Tuo sent them out of the mansion and watched them go home one by one.

"General Wang is the head coach. The victory rate is quite high. We may avenge Pao Ze."

Shejian stood beside Zhao Tuo, whispering.

Zhao Tuo nodded, just like Shejian, he was also brooding over the battle of Surabaya.

Facing the 10,000 Chu army in Zhaoping, although he won by relying on his back-to-back fight and the ambush of the soldiers, 600 Paoze died in that battle, and with the wounded who did not carry over on the way home, it was close to 700 people.

If these people had died in battle in Pengcheng, Fuli, Qiyi and other places, perhaps Zhao Tuo and Shejian would not have been so grieved, but they happened to be at the last stop on their way home. Then a little distance, they don't have to die.

Just the last bit is always hard to let go.

"Zhaoping, you escaped in the battle of Surabaya, this time Chu will be destroyed, I see where you go."

Zhao Tuo whispered in his heart, full of murderous intentions towards that Zuo Sima of Chu State.

But then, Zhao Tuo's face showed a strange look.

Just now, Heiyu, Zhao Guang and others told him an interesting story that spread throughout Xianyang, and Heiyu almost rolled on the ground laughing when he told it.

It turned out that Li You was the chief general of the Qin army who led away 10,000 Chu troops from Zhaoping in Qiyi.

If Li You hadn't led the army to attack Qiyi, I'm afraid Zhao Tuo would have fought head-to-head with Zhaoping's 10,000 Chu troops there, and the outcome was unpredictable.

Thanks to Li You, the five thousand of them were able to come back alive.

...

"Zhao Tuo... Despicable and shameless Zhao Tuo, I almost died in Chudi because of him, and I was cut off two ranks of title after I came back! Fortunately, he has become Zhong Geng!"

Li Fuzhong.

Li You gritted his teeth, thinking about the news that the king had rewarded Zhao Tuo and others last night, the more he thought about it, the more he thought about it, the more he thought about it, he couldn't help but grabbed the wine cup on the case and threw it at the door.

As soon as Li Si entered the door, he saw something flying towards him. He wanted to dodge it, but he was too old to dodge it, and was hit by the wine pot on his left leg.

Liston screamed in pain and fell forward to the ground.

"Father... Father..."

Li You was dumbfounded on the spot, and when he realized it, he hurried over and helped his father sit aside.

After sitting down, Li Si rubbed his legs, his beard trembling with anger, glaring at Li You and said, "Zizi, how dare you hurt me."

Li You said with a crying face: "Father, I didn't mean it. I just thought about Zhao Tuo's matter and couldn't help but feel angry. I raised my glass to vent my anger, but I didn't expect to hit my father."

Hearing this, the anger in Li Si's heart was extinguished, especially when he saw Li You's skinny and sad face, he felt pity in his heart.

He said: "Don't think too much about Zhao Tuo's affairs. The battlefield is inherently dangerous. You are lucky to come back alive. Just come back alive."

Li You said indignantly: "Father, what are you talking about! Then Zhao Tuo relied on me to lure away the army of Chu Zuo Sima for him, so that he could escape successfully, otherwise he would have been annihilated by the Chu people in Qi Yep. I, Li You, will never end up like this."

"Why! Why did I lose my rank and be punished when I escaped from a near-death situation? Why did Zhao Tuo rely on me to come back alive, but he won and was promoted to rank? I am not reconciled!"

"Father, are you willing? Your son almost died because of Zhao Tuo, and Zhao Tuo stepped on your son to be promoted to Zhonggeng, and you have the same title as your father!"

"Father, you have worked hard for more than 20 years, are you willing to be the same as a child!"

Li Si narrowed his eyes.

He was not reconciled, and even felt resentment and jealousy in his heart, and he felt disgusted with Zhao Tuo.

Negative emotions are born in the heart, which is an instinct that a person cannot control, and it is also human nature.

But with this kind of emotion, how to deal with and deal with it is the time to witness a person's means.

Do you want to take revenge on Zhao Tuo?

That's what fools and reckless people do.

Today's Zhao Tuo is not comparable to the old Han Fei.

"Zhao Tuo's title was obtained by his own ability. I don't want to be reconciled. If you can fight against the odds and defeat the Chu army, then you can also be appreciated by the king, and you will be the middle class."

"Li You, instead of being jealous of others, you should think more about how to improve your own skills, so that you can make great achievements on the battlefield, instead of just running away when you encounter the enemy. On the battlefield, there are endless changes. Don't blame others."

"As for me, not only will I not be unfamiliar with Zhao Tuo because of your affairs, but I will also send someone to congratulate him."

"After all, Zhao Tuo and I still have some friendship with Jing Ke back then, so don't waste it because of you."

With that said, Li Si smiled slightly.

It's just that there is a hint of coldness in the smile.

Regarding the protagonist's age, chapter 271 has been changed to seventeen.

When Qin Wangzheng attacked Yan in the 20th year, he was fifteen years old.

Twenty-one years to destroy Wei and Li Xin to conquer Chu, both in the same year, the protagonist is sixteen years old.

Now it is the spring of the 22nd year, and he should be 17 years old, but he has neglected this point.

Then the age of the heroine, when I was fighting Wei before, it was said that it was about fifteen years old, so it should be fifteen years old this year.
