General Qin

Chapter 283 The Butterfly Effect

Xianyang, Li Mansion.

"Father, then Zhao Tuo has been appointed General Pi!"

Li You walked into the room, his eyes were completely red, and his voice was trembling.

Sitting in front of the table, Li Si was tasting his favorite turtle meat soup.

Hearing Li You's words, he didn't raise his head, stretched out his hand to scoop up a spoonful of turtle soup with a dagger, blew it, put it into his mouth and tasted it, with an intoxicated look on his face.

"Sure enough, we still have to cook the soup with more than 20-year-old tortoises, and add some bluegrass that is unique to Chu, to have a little taste."

Seeing that Li You's face became more and more ugly, Li Si put down his dagger and opened his mouth leisurely.

"Zhao Tuo, as the title of Zhong Geng, is not a matter of course to serve as General Pi? What's so surprising. Didn't you say before that you don't want to fight with him, and you only go to the battlefield to make meritorious service?"

"Father, I have no intention of competing with Zhao Tuo." Li You blushed and lowered his voice. "It's just that he was appointed General Pi, and his subordinates can manage several lieutenants and military officers. What if I am under his command after entering the army? Wang Jiansu came to appreciate Zhao Tuo. What if they deliberately let me..."

"Don't worry, Wang Jian won't."

Li Si was a little speechless. It turned out that Li You was afraid that Wang Jian would deliberately assign him to Zhao Tuo, and then be punished by Zhao Tuo.

Based on Li Si's understanding of Wang Jian, it was impossible for that old general to do such a stupid thing, and even because this battle was too important, he would not set his eyes on a little Li You at all.

As for the others, it is even more impossible to intentionally offend the new Tingwei himself for such a thing.

Yes, just a few days ago, in order to make the Qin State more efficient during the war, the Qin Wangzheng appointed and dismissed all the officials and ministers.

First of all, the position of Prime Minister You was reserved for Changping Lord Xiong Qi, but because of Xiong Qi's betrayal, he no longer retained it, and the original Prime Minister Zuo Kui was promoted to Prime Minister Right.

The position of Prime Minister Zuo was filled by Wang Wan, the imperial historian.

The post of Yushi doctor was held by Feng Jie of the Feng family.

As for Ting Wei, one of the Nine Ministers, he took the initiative to claim his illness and returned home, leaving this important position to Li Si who had been waiting for a long time.

Now, after more than 20 years in Qin State, Li Si has finally climbed to the high position of Tingwei, and he is one of the people who really stand at the top of this country.

So while he was overjoyed, Li Si also took a longer-term view, and couldn't see Li You's small thoughts at all.

However, he could also understand his son's worries, and after reassuring with "patterns" and the like, he also said some practical things.

"You don't have to worry. This time, the king sent 600,000 troops, and Guanzhong only sent 200,000 troops. The rest of the troops will be recruited by counties and counties. I will inform the Bangwei Mansion and arrange you to go to the army recruited by Nanjun Ren Junhou."

Li You was defeated in the battle of Chu and suffered two levels of punishment. His current title is not even as good as when he was a general in the palace. There is only a public servant left, and he is not even eligible to wear the crown. With this title, it is fine to hold two or five hundred lords, and it can barely be justified as a military marquis.

Now it seems that Li Si wants to rely on his connections to let him continue to be a military marshal, commanding 5,000 people.

Li You was very happy when he heard it.

Give me 5,000 people, and I still have a chance to stand up!

Li Si glanced at his son, and continued: "You and I were originally from Chu, and Nanjun was originally from Chu, and the people all speak the sound of Jingchu. If you go to Nanjun to lead the army, you can gain the morale of the army with Chuyin, and it will be easier to command." Soldiers. Secondly, you don’t need to contact Zhao Tuo, so as not to affect your mood. When you go to the battlefield in the future, just do your best and fight.”

Hearing this, Li You was overjoyed at first, but then said with a gloomy expression: "Although this arrangement is good, most of those Nanjun soldiers are pawns of the underdogs, how can they compare with the elite of Guanzhong."

Li Si glared at him and said, "That depends on your military training skills. Could it be that Zhao Tuo moved thousands of miles from Chu to lead all the elites from Guanzhong?"

"As far as I know, Zhao Tuo's subordinates in Chu are made up of soldiers from all over the country. Except for a small number of people from Guanzhong, most of them are from Han, Hanoi, Shangdang, and even barbarians from Hanzhong. You lead a team from Nanjun Isn’t Chu Bing much better than him?”

Hearing this, Li You became happy again.

What my father said was true, five thousand South County soldiers are better commanded than a patchwork army.

Li Youdao: "Okay, Zhao Tuo can train soldiers, and I, Li You, can also train soldiers!"

Moreover, I want to train a strong army!

Li You was in high spirits.

Recently, he stayed in the mansion to study the art of war hard, earnestly studying various military books and strategies.

Finally comprehended the essence of Zhao Tuo's ability to win a big victory.

In addition to the surprise soldiers in the rear, that is the military spirit!

Zhao Tuo's five thousand soldiers all served him, so they were able to fight to the death without retreating, and one was worth ten.

If the army's morale is low, I'm afraid they won't be able to last for such a long time, and they will be defeated by the Chu army, let alone turn defeat into victory.

"There is a saying in the art of war: treat a soldier like a baby, so you can go to the deep stream with him; treat a soldier like a beloved son, so you can die with him."

"Whoever wins the heart of the army will win. From now on, I, Li, will definitely hold the heart of the general in my hands. At that time, the upper and lower will be one, so why worry about it!"

Li You raised his head, his eyes shone with confidence.

After researching and inquiring, he has learned a lot from Zhao Tuo.

Let the soldiers write letters to their families, and personally write the letters from home to move people with affection.

Reward soldiers with oxen and wine, buy shoes for them, and buy them with material goods.

...

What Zhao Tuo can do, Li You can do the same.

What Zhao Tuo couldn't do, Li You could do even more.

"In the past, Wu Qi served as a general, and he shared food and clothing with the lowest soldiers. He did not set up a mat when he lay down, and he did not ride on a horse when he walked. Turn heel."

"I, Li You, will imitate what Wu Qi did, and continue to do what you, Zhao Tuo, cannot do."

"In this way, the heart of the army is in my hands, and five thousand people will die for me. He Chou can't fight with his back, He Chou can't defeat a powerful enemy and make meritorious deeds!"

Li Youang raised his head, his confidence and pride returned.

...

"It's really good to have a relationship."

Zhao Tuo was very happy, not only because he had been officially appointed as the general of the Chu army.

It is also because of his relationship with Wei Liao and Wang Jian.

Arranged Shejian, Heiyu, Zhao Guang, Bai Rong and other old subordinates under his command.

When he knew that Su Jiao, who was appointed as the county lieutenant, was also included in the call-up, Zhao Tuo took Su Jiao to his side again.

In this way, when the time comes, Zhao Tuo's subordinates will be some old subordinates and his own people who are used to it. Whether it is training soldiers or fighting on the battlefield, they will feel at ease.

But now it is only in the stage of distribution and planning, preparing for the official dispatch of troops, and it will take another one or two months to officially start the war. When the spring plowing is over, everyone can gather under Zhao Tuo's command again and make meritorious deeds together.

"According to historical results, Wang Jian's attack on Chu should be stable."

"However, because of my relationship, this time has been advanced by a whole year, and the fate of many people has changed. This time, there should be no accidents, right?"

Zhao Tuo occasionally felt a little worried.

He has already realized that as he does more and more things in this era and has greater influence, more and more things will be changed by the butterfly effect he caused.

Everyone's fate has a different direction from the original history.

Occasionally, some things beyond the original history appear, which seems to be normal.

...

Between Fengpei, three rangers walked out of Fengyi, jumped on their horses, and looked towards the northeast of Qi.

A short-bearded ranger sighed: "It's a pity that Liu Ji was captured by the Qin army, otherwise we will kill him and avenge Zhang Jun and all righteous men."

The other yellow-faced ranger shook his head and said, "It's not necessarily Liu Ji who was captured by the Qin people. Isn't there a saying in Fengyi that the person named Lu Wan was captured by the Qin people?"

"It's just a child's words. Since neither Lu Wan nor Liu Ji came back, I guess the two of them were either killed on the spot by the Qin people, or they were taken away together. Otherwise, it is impossible for him to not come home for so long." Short-bearded ranger shook his head.

The yellow-faced ranger nodded and said, "That's true. After all, it was his wedding night. If he hadn't been captured or killed by the Qin people, how could he have left his bride and ran away."

"It's a pity, the bride didn't even enjoy a night of happiness, and became a widow. Naigong is really sad for her."

"Hey hey..."

Listening to what the two said, Chen Yu shook his head.

They went through Fengfei on this trip, and they inquired about Liu Ji's affairs by the way.

As far as he knew, the ranger who came to kill Liu Ji last time was all killed by Liu Ji, which is very regrettable.

Chen Yuyou personally wanted to avenge Zhang Er and those rangers.

But it is a pity that according to people in Fengyi, Liu Ji encountered Qin Jun coming here on his wedding night. The leading Qin general seemed to be the one who conquered Waihuang back then. He hated Liu Ji's treachery very much and asked Liu Ji to be arrested.

I don't know what the real result is, anyway, since that night, no one in Fengyi has seen Liu Ji again.

"Liu Ji, villain's ear. He must have died at the hands of those Qin people. Instead, it was the Qin general Zhao Tuo..."

Chen Yu narrowed his eyes, thinking of the story about Qin General Zhao Tuo that he had heard along the way.

A surprise attack on Shouchun, the capital of Chu, a thousand miles away to attack the city of Bayi, Pengcheng shot the Qu brothers to death, and defeated the Chu army by carrying the water by the Surabaya...

Every thing makes people talk about it, not to mention the people of Qin, even the people of Qi and Chu couldn't help but praise when they heard all kinds of unimaginable achievements: "Zhao Tuo, you are really a man."

"Brother died at the hands of such people, but it didn't dishonor his reputation. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will behead Zhao Tuo and avenge my brother."

Chen Yu whispered to himself, but then he put the matter in his mind and looked to the northeast

Qi State.

He is going to Qi to do something big!

Compared with this matter, Zhao Tuo and Liu Ji are not worthy.

"I assassinated the envoy of the Qin State in Qingyang, which triggered a battle between Qin and Chu. In the end, the Qin army was defeated in Huaibei. There were countless casualties. The blood of tens of thousands of Qin people is enough to pay homage to my brother."

"Compared to beheading two Lizi, this is real revenge!"

Chen Yu is very proud.

His one assassination act actually caused a bloody battle between two great powers in the world, with tens of thousands of dead bodies lying on the oars, bleeding and drifting away.

It seemed that the situation of the whole world was controlled by him, Chen Yu.

That feeling is amazing and refreshing.

But the battle between Qin and Chu was over, and it was not enough.

Because Qin general Zhao Tuo defeated the Chu army in the battle of Surabaya, Chen Yu's pleasure of revenge weakened a lot.

This is not enough.

He wants more.

The people of Qin did not shed enough blood.

He, Chen Yu, must let the people of Qin shed the last drop of blood.

Therefore, his gaze turned to Qi Guo.

Chen Yu wants to use the sword in his hand to change the situation of the world again.

"I, Chen Yu, should do the work of Zhuan Zhu and Nie Zheng..."

The third one is delivered.
