General Qin

"The six kingdoms are not destroyed, so what is the family?"

Qin Wangzheng raised his eyebrows, his eyes showed surprise.

Great words!

This remark is not weaker than the old saying, "Birth is a feudal lord, death is temple food."

Among the princes of Shandong, only the weak state of Qi and the small state of Dai are left.

However, although Qi State is weak, it was once a great country in the world, with an area of ​​thousands of miles and more than 70 cities. When the country is in danger of subjugation, it can raise hundreds of thousands of soldiers in armor.

If Qin wants to swallow it in one gulp, it will take a lot of effort. It is not yet known when the war will end.

Faced with what he revealed, Zhao Tuo can immediately accept the princess' choice as long as he wants. Saying this kind of words, it can be seen that this kid can clearly distinguish between state affairs and children's personal relationships.

Of course, it is not ruled out that Zhao Tuo has already seen his intention of probing and opened his mouth on purpose.

In any case, Qin Wangzheng expressed his satisfaction with Zhao Tuo's answer.

"The widow will never destroy Qi, so you, Zhao Tuo, will never have a family?"

Faced with King Qin's teasing, Zhao Tuo's expression remained unchanged, and he raised his head and said, "Your Majesty has the will to rule the world and embrace the whole world. How can you delay the great cause of unification because of mere Zhao Tuo. Zhao Tuo's wish is the same as it was in the hall in the past. When he told Jing Ke, he only wished that the world would be unified, and that the king would become the king of all people in the world. Only with a wise monarch like the king on the throne, can the five hundred years of chaos be truly ended, and peace be brought to all people in the world!"

Qin Wangzheng's eyes were full of splendor.

Good Zhao Tuo!

If you really know the wish of the widow!

His original hesitation about choosing Fadai has completely disappeared.

Qin Wangzheng said in a deep voice: "Since that is the case, you, Zhao Tuo, will be the chief general of the conquest. You will completely destroy the Zhao family's community for the widow!"

Without any hesitation, Zhao Tuo immediately took orders and said, "I will destroy the Zhao family and sacrifice it to the King!"

Seeing Zhao Tuo's firm attitude and hearing his decisiveness when he said that he destroyed his ancestral community, Qin Wangzheng became more and more satisfied.

"Very good, the widow will promise you today."

Qin Wangzheng said generously: "When the world is unified, the six kingdoms will be wiped out. You, Zhao Tuo, will be the widow's son-in-law!"

"The minister will sweep the world for the king!"

Zhao Tuo also responded with a promise.

After a while, Zhao Tuo left.

Qin Wangzheng stood where he was, watching Zhao Tuo's figure getting smaller and smaller.

The wind, blowing, rolled the beard under his chin and trembled slightly.

"Zhao Tuo fought very well in the battle of destroying Chu, but he never became the leader of an army. The destruction of Qi is the last battle to unify the world. It is necessary to win all the merits in one battle, so as to give the great cause of the unification of the world. Perfect ending."

"This time, Zhao Tuo will be the main general to destroy the dynasty. Let him try his hand. After the eradication of the dynasty, the widow will use him as the general to destroy Qi."

"The one who helps the widow to rule the world is my son-in-law!"

...

Xianyang City, in the Li Mansion.

Li You raised the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp, the smile on his face could no longer be restrained when he thought that he had put on the crown that could only be worn by the five senior officials.

It stands to reason that before Li You was demoted for his crimes, he reached the title of Zuo Shuchang, which was one level higher than the current five doctors.

Now he is just reverting to the fifth doctor, and he has no reason to be happy at all.

But Li You was still very happy.

"Your Majesty still loves me!"

Especially when he returned home, his always shrewd father Li Si said the same thing.

"Who do you think it means that you can be promoted to the fifth doctor this time?"

"Naturally the king!"

Li Si smiled and stroked the white beard under his chin, and said leisurely: "Before the army came back, I had inquired about your rewards and punishments. Lieutenant Bang and the lieutenant of the lord both thought that your defeat in Rushui was understandable, but After all, you lost, and considering that you captured several cities later, they agreed that you should pay for your merits and crimes, and give some money as a reward."

"The rewards and punishments are considered fair, and the old man thinks it is appropriate. But who would have thought that the rewards and punishments will be reported to the palace, so please take a look at them. Your Majesty has no opinion on the rewards and punishments of the generals. He only thinks that in the battle of Rushui, although you were defeated, you made meritorious deeds and were captured. The Right Sima of the Chu State has made a contribution to you, so he promoted you to a rank as a compliment. You said that this is not the king's favor for you, so what is the reason?"

Li You's heart was agitated by what his old father said, and he was full of vigor, and he was no longer even jealous of Zhao Tuo.

Your Majesty favors me so much, I must not let him down.

Since returning to the mansion, Li You didn't care about the outside world, and devoted himself to studying military books, summing up his experience in many battles, and gained a lot, and now he once again has a heroic spirit in his heart.

Li You poured a glass of wine and drank it all, then turned to Li Si who was seated in the main seat and said, "Father, I heard that the king will send troops to destroy the generation after the spring plowing. I want to call for a battle at that time, and go to the battlefield again!"

Hearing Li You's words, Li Si, who was peeling and eating oranges, trembled, and the oranges in his hand fell off and rolled onto the ground.

He looked up at Li You, and said helplessly, "Yu'er, Dai is a small country. Even if the king destroys Dai, he will not send out an army. There is not much merit in it. I don't think you need to go. It's better to be at ease." Stay in Xianyang for a while, and I will see where there are vacancies, and I will seek a captaincy or an important position in the county for you, so that I can accumulate some experience."

Li You's face flushed red.

He cried, "Father, you don't believe me!"

Li Si shook his head and said, "I believe in you."

"Father, it is because Dai is a small country that I took the initiative to ask for a fight. You see, although I was defeated before, they were all defeated by Xiang Yan, Zhaoping and Ye Sheng. Although I am defeated, I am not ashamed!"

"Now that I have accumulated enough experience on the battlefield, if I go to fight for the country, I will definitely be able to make great achievements. I just don't believe that there are still strong generals like Xiang Yan and Zhaoping!"

Li You is full of self-confidence, even if he has been defeated repeatedly, as long as the king still favors him, he will have infinite fighting spirit.

Li Si glanced at him and sighed: "Let me tell you the truth. I see what the king means. It is very likely that Zhao Tuo will be the main general for the eradication of the dynasty. It is very likely that the king will let Zhao Tuo destroy the state of the country. To show his loyalty. So, are you willing to submit to Zhao Tuo?"

Li You was stunned.

He used to be the general of Zhonglang household in Qin Palace.

Zhao Tuo was just a Zhonglang under his command.

Now, he wants Li You to be under Zhao Tuo, and to be under the command of Zhao Tuo, a child.

Can he accept it?

Li You took a deep breath, his face turned green and white, and finally he gritted his teeth and said, "Meng Tian used to be a general of Zhonglang, and he was able to submit to Zhao Tuo in the battle of destroying Chu. If Meng Tian can do it, then I, Li You, can also do it." arrive!"

"Father, don't worry, Zhao Tuo's army is more capable than mine. If he is the commander-in-chief this time, I, Li You, would rather be under him and obey his command."

"Okay, if you are so flexible, it will be my son from the Li family."

Li Si clapped his hands and praised, his eyes full of appreciation.

In his opinion, it is not terrible for a man to fail once, and it is not terrible to fail twice. What is terrible is that once he fails, he will completely lose confidence in himself, and he will no longer have the will and motivation to stand up, and he will be easily knocked down by failure. The man is the most incompetent.

Although Li You was defeated several times, it was because every time he encountered an enemy who was stronger than him, it was not shameful to defeat the strong with the weak.

On the contrary, Li You was not discouraged after repeated defeats. Li Si admired this quality.

He nodded and said: "Since you have great ambitions, I can't stop them. In this case, you can write to the king yourself to express your ambitions. The king favored you before. Now that you are full of fighting spirit and take the initiative to ask for a fight, you will think about it." very happy."

Li Youying said: "Okay, I will write the letter immediately, the king will definitely agree!"

Seeing his son's face full of spring breeze and high fighting spirit, Li Si remembered something.

He hesitated for a moment. He didn't want to say it at this time, but he thought that Li You would be thirty next year and had no wife or children yet. Now the princess Shang's matter seems to be unresolved, and if it continues to drag on, I'm afraid there will be nothing.

Li Si whispered: "Your, I think Feng Quji still has a daughter, who is in the age of Jiaji. Why don't you apply for employment with Feng's..."

"Father, the daughter of the Feng family, I can ask for it for my brother, she is a good match."

Before Li Si finished speaking, Li You interrupted him loudly.

Li You turned his head and whispered in his heart.

"Princess."

The transition is almost over, and the prelude to the war will begin.
