General Qin.

Chapter 197
The blue-gray bricks and tiles are layered on top of each other, forming a solemn and solemn Qin Palace.

It was that familiar palace again.

Qin Wangzheng was wearing comfortable uniforms, sitting on the couch, holding a scroll of bamboo slips in his hand as always, looking down with his head down.

It seems that he is thinking about national affairs at all times.

Zhao Gao stood beside him with his hands down, waiting for the king's orders at any time.

Zhao Tuo walked to the front of the hall and saw Zhao Gao shaking his head slightly at him.

He smiled knowingly, and stood in front of the hall respectfully waiting.

In the Qin Palace, no one is allowed to enter without being summoned.

After a long time, Qin Wangzheng raised his head and looked at the figure standing in front of the hall.

This kid has grown a little taller again, and in a few years, he will be eight feet tall.

Qin Wangzheng's heart moved slightly, and a smile appeared on his face.

"It's Zhao Tuo, come in."

"only."

Zhao Tuo responded respectfully, entered the hall with his socks on, stepped forward, walked to Qin Wangzheng's bed, and bowed to each other.

"Sir Zhao Tuo, pay homage to the King."

"Hehe, Zhao Tuo, Zhao Tuo, the great things you have done in Weidi, and the contributions you have made have really amazed everyone."

Qin Wangzheng spoke, with a hint of praise in his words.

Zhao Tuo hurriedly said: "The reason why I can achieve the least merits is that I rely on the king's martial arts and wisdom, and follow the fate to defeat Wei. On the battlefield, it is also the general Wang who commanded well, and the soldiers used their lives, so they were invincible. Weidi is victorious."

"Wang Ben wrote a letter, saying all the good things about you, such as training soldiers skillfully, using soldiers skillfully, telling the widow that you have the qualifications to become a general in the future. And now, you are speaking good things about Wang Ben in front of the widow. You people ah……"

Qin Wangzheng smiled and shook his head.

Zhao Tuo smiled awkwardly, but silently praised Wang Ben in his heart.

General Wang, you are straightforward!
However, in the next second, as soon as Qin Wangzheng's words came out, Zhao Tuo's face changed color.

"Since Wang Ben said that you have the qualifications to become a general, you have won a few battles as a general in Weidi. The widow came to ask you, what do you think about the upcoming battle against Chu? ?”

What the hell!

Zhao Tuo was bitter. He didn't expect Qin Wangzheng to ask him about this matter. This is a tricky question.

What do I think about the upcoming battle of Chu Chu?
I naturally hope that if Li Xin is replaced, old general Wang Jian will come, and another 60 people will be sent to the battlefield.

It is best to remove Changping Jun who stayed in Huaiyang.

In this way, the battle against Chu will definitely be stable.

But Zhao Tuo didn't dare to say that. In the current situation where the whole country is proud, the people who can say these words are either honest loyal ministers or idiots without a single nerve in their minds.

Fools are annoying, and loyal ministers generally seldom end well.

Zhao Tuo squeezed a smile on his face, cupped his hands and said: "I think that there is a king and other ministers who are making decisions in the court, and General Li is personally commanding at the front. He will lead the army to destroy the prestige of Wei and attack the divided Chu. This battle will definitely be successful. win."

Qin Wangzheng's face was serious, and he said: "You Zhao Tuo, you can only pick up good things to say. When I ask you, I naturally want to hear something useful. You have been on the battlefield for a long time. Do you have any good suggestions for this attack on Chu? , you can talk about it and listen to it, and let the widow know whether Wang Ben's words are true or not."

Zhao Tuo was stunned for a moment, seeing that Qin Wangzheng was asking seriously instead of just wanting to listen to good things, he understood that the king wanted to test what Zhao Tuo had learned on the battlefield to see if he was really as Wang Ben said , has the qualifications to become a general.

If the king of Qin summoned him to ask questions last time, it was the general trend of the world and the strategic direction.

Now, it is down to the actual situation to examine Zhao Tuo's specific opinions on this war.

Zhao Tuo's heart was moved, and this was a good opportunity for him to speak up.

Of course, how to make a statement is also particular.

The theory of changing generals and increasing troops is definitely not acceptable.

Li Xin is the general, leading 20 troops. This is a well-established plan, and it is also the strength and candidates that Qin Wangzheng needs in his mind. It is absolutely impossible to change.

As for Mr. Changping, it is even more impossible for Zhao Tuo to talk about it.

Before that incident happened, Lord Changping was a loyal minister of the Qin State and a blood relative of the current King Qin.

Can Zhao Tuo defame such a character?

As for the specific marching route and how to arrange the command, it is the matter of the general. Even King Qin will not interfere, let alone a little Zhao Tuo, who has no say in strategic planning.

So Zhao Tuo could only find another way this time.

He had a lot of thoughts, he didn't want to anger the King of Qin by telling the truth, and he didn't want to lose this good opportunity to speak up.

Finally, Zhao Tuo found a blind spot.

He boldly asked: "I dare to ask you, I don't know who is the lieutenant that Your Majesty is preparing for General Li this time."

Under the chief general of the Qin army, there are generally many generals who will be assigned according to the strength of the troops to command the subordinate lieutenants.And among these generals, there will be one who has a relatively large weight and will exist as the deputy of the main general.

The reason for this is that when the main general decides to divide his troops to march, one person can lead the other generals and make corresponding deployments.

Without the existence of this deputy, the other generals would be at the same level, and their titles would be similar.Why do you have to accept a command at your same level when dividing troops?That will inevitably lead to disputes.

The deputy general has more power than the other generals, and his suggestions are often seriously considered by the chief general.

When Wang Jian destroyed Yan, his deputy was Xin Sheng.But Xin Sheng, like Wang Jian, has a stable temperament, and his brilliance will inevitably be snatched away by Li Xin and Qiang Li, but it seems that his sense of existence is not strong.

Hearing Zhao Tuo's words, Qin Wangzheng narrowed his eagle-like eyes.

This kid asked a tricky question.

He said indifferently: "Meng Tian."

Meng Tian!

Zhao Tuo gasped, it was true.

Zhonglang general Meng Tian!
He was Zhao Tuo's old leader when he was a middle-aged man in the Qin Palace.

The reason why Zhao Tuo was surprised was not that Meng Tian was incapable. Historically, Meng Tian was more than [-] miles north of the Huns, and commanded hundreds of thousands of troops under his command. His prestige shook the northern border, and he was second to none in the entire Qin Dynasty. general.

But that was in the future, although the current Meng Tian is familiar with military books, his father and ancestors are all famous generals.And there is Gao Jue, the chief of Zuo Shu, who is in the position of Zhonglang general.But he has never been on the battlefield, and he doesn't even have as much experience in the battlefield as Zhao Tuo.

And Meng Tian is a few years younger than Li Xin, such a person will be Li Xin's deputy general, and then go to destroy Chu.

Zhao Tuo's scalp tingles just thinking about this combination of destroying Chu.

He knew that the reason why Qin Wangzheng did this was mostly to appoint a group of young and strong generals who were born as officials to replace Wang Jian, Yang Duanhe, Xin Sheng and other veterans, so as to inject fresh blood into the Qin army and weaken the strength of those veterans. Authoritative, to avoid the situation of high meritorious deeds.

In ordinary wars, it was nothing at all, but it was a bit of a joke to do this kind of thing when Chu was destroyed.

It's all because of pride.

Seeing Zhao Tuo's complexion change, Qin Wangzheng frowned and said, "Why, you think Meng Tian can't do it."

At this point, Zhao Tuo had to face the difficulties.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Zhao Tuo once served under General Meng Zhonglang, so he naturally knows that General Zhonglang is a natural general, and he has military knowledge passed down from his family. He will definitely be a famous general in the world in the future."

Qin Wangzheng nodded. After Li Xin, Meng Tian was the young general he admired the most, and he must have the ability.

But Zhao Tuo's voice suddenly changed, and he said loudly: "But I also heard that Wu Sunzi said that soldiers are important affairs of the country, the land of death and life, and the way of life and death. You must pay attention to it."

"And the general is the assistant of the country. If you assist Zhou, the country will be strong, and if you assist Zhou, the country will be weak."

"With General Li Xin as the main general, there is no problem in attacking Chu this time. But if the deputy general chooses a mature and prudent general, it is like putting a pair of wings on a tiger. safe."

Qin Wangzheng frowned. Although Zhao Tuo didn't say it clearly, what he said meant nothing more than that Meng Tian had never been on the battlefield, so his ability might not be good enough, which would make this battle risky.

Let him think carefully, it is better to choose an old man to assist Li Xin.

Qin Wangzheng also considered the difficulty of destroying Chu.

Today's Chu State is not as good as it used to be. Not only is it divided internally, but its army's combat effectiveness has also declined seriously. Last year, Wang Ben captured more than a dozen cities in Chu State. This is a clear proof.

Wang Ben's tens of thousands of troops can beat the Chu army, throwing away their helmets and armor. He Qin Wangzheng sent 20 troops at a time, wouldn't it scare the crap out of the king of Chu, and destroying Chu is a piece of cake.

Of course, the most important reason is that Li Xin is a veteran on the battlefield, and he had a very impressive performance when he destroyed Zhao and Yan. His courageous spirit won the appreciation of Qin Wangzheng, and he is simply the new generation of Qin God of War.

With such a character leading the team, Qin Wangzheng's heart to destroy Chu was overwhelming.

It doesn't really matter who the deputy general is in this battle.

The reason why Qin Wangzheng chose Meng Tian was because he hoped that Li Xin would take him with him so that Meng Tian could learn some battlefield experience and become Qin Wangzheng's humerus general in the future.

However, Zhao Tuo's sentence "Soldiers, major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, the way of survival, must be investigated", is also reasonable.

Qin Wangzheng was slightly moved.

Yes, war is the biggest matter for a country. It is related to the life and death of a country. It cannot be taken lightly. It is indeed safer to use an old man to assist Li Xin.

Meng Tian, ​​after all, has never been on the battlefield.

Qin Wangzheng asked casually: "Since you think it would be safer to use an old man as an assistant, do you have any suitable recommendation in mind?"

Zhao Tuo nodded and said, "I really think there is someone more suitable than Meng Zhonglang."

Qin Wangzheng was startled, he asked casually, but Zhao Tuo actually answered.

This is totally unwise behavior.

No matter who that person is in Zhao Tuo's heart, even if it is Yang Duanhe, Xin Sheng, or even a famous general like Wang Ben who destroyed the country, they will definitely make the Meng family feel very uncomfortable.

It is equivalent to pointing to Meng Tian's nose and saying, you are not as good as that person.

Once it gets out, no matter how good Meng Tian's personality is, he will be offended to death, which is a public ridicule.

Such an approach is not quite like Zhao Tuo's usual style of doing things.

Even Zhao Gao, who was standing silently by the side, couldn't help but his eyelids twitched. Although he hated Mengshi in his heart because of Fan Yi's incident, he didn't dare to belittle Meng Tian in front of King Qin like this.

Did Zhao Tuo bang his head against the wall today?

Could it be that I, Zhao Gao, misunderstood, how could this person do such a stupid thing.

This remark will not only offend Meng Shi, but even in King Qin's heart, the evaluation of Zhao Tuo will probably be lowered a lot.

Qin Wangzheng looked unhappy, but his curiosity reached the extreme, he threw the bamboo slips he had been holding onto the desk, tilted his head slightly forward, and asked, "Zhao Tuo, who is the person you are talking about?" who?"

Zhao Gao closed his eyes, he felt that Zhao Tuo was really stupid today.

However, in the next second, as Zhao Tuo said that person's name, Zhao Gao opened his eyes and stared blankly at the young man in front of him.

Qin Wangzheng's expression was even more strange, with a half smile but not a smile.

"You mean...Meng Wu?"
