General Qin.

Chapter 212 Independent Song

"Huan Zhao had a heart attack, vomited blood and fainted?"

In the camp, when Li Xin heard the news, he slapped the chopping board in shock and stood up.

Meng Wu, Xin Wu, Yang Yuan and other generals who were discussing in the tent also showed astonishment.

He vomited blood and fainted before going to the battlefield. What kind of game is Huan Junhou playing?
These people have been in the army for 20 years, and they have never heard of such a thing. This is really an anecdote through the ages.

Zhao Tuo said with an innocent face: "Of course, we happened to meet Huan Junhou outside the camp. The Junhou hadn't seen me for a long time, so he came to ask me about the title. But before he could say a few words, Huan Junhou suddenly turned pale. Hong, then yelled, vomited blood, and fell to the ground. We were surprised, but he didn't wake up after calling him for a long time. We had to send him to the tent for medical treatment. I don't know if he has woken up now. Come."

Zhao Tuo told the truth that there were quite a few people present at the time, so there was no need to hide this matter.

Asked about your title, then vomited blood and fainted?
Hearing this, strange expressions appeared on the faces of many people.

Especially veterans such as Meng Wu and Xin Wu, looked around Zhao Tuo, and they already knew the general idea.

They have been in the army for many years, how can they not be clear about this kind of discord (jǔ yǔ).

I didn't expect that Huan's boy had such poor mental quality.

Meng Wu took a look at Zhao Tuo with a calm face, and said, "The battle against Chu is very important. Since Huan Zhao has a heart attack, he will not be able to go to the battlefield. Let him rest in Huaiyang City to recuperate. His subordinates Qu Renma re-arranged the command of the army. General Li, what do you think of this arrangement?"

Li Xin sighed.

"General Meng said, so be it. Huan Zhao is also a veteran who followed me to defeat Yan. This time, I wanted him to follow Chu Chu and make meritorious deeds. I didn't expect him to have a heart attack. I guess it was God's will, alas, I didn't know that Huan Zhao still had heart disease. After this attack on Chu, he might not be able to go to the battlefield again.

In a few words, the two decided on Huan Zhao's ownership, and re-arranged a seasoned military officer to lead the troops under Huan Zhao's command.At the same time, they considered that the war against Chu was imminent, and the new military marquis might not be able to control the soldiers within a few days, so they planned to let this army serve as a logistics escort in the rear and manage the prisoners who delivered food and fodder.

Zhao Tuo listened silently, heaving a sigh of relief. He had heard that Huan Zhao was also in the barracks, so he was going to look for Li Xin, trying to find a way to avoid him.But I didn't expect that before Zhao Tuo started to act, Huan Zhao vomited blood and fell to the ground, which was really unexpected.

And according to Li Xin, a person with heart disease like Huan Zhao will never be sent to the battlefield again. It is estimated that this person will stay behind to recuperate for the rest of his life.

The general, the lord of the army, the position is so important.

On the battlefield, the situation is changing rapidly. How can you let a person who is in danger of vomiting blood and falling to the ground at any time be a military officer? No general would dare to appoint such a subordinate. On the battlefield, you may be able to come to you at any time surprise.

"Brother Huan, Brother Huan, this is really a blessing in disguise. How can you know that it is not a blessing. This time, you have escaped the danger of defeating the Chu army, which is really enviable. I wish you a speedy recovery, Brother Huan. , if I am promoted to a title in the future, I will come to visit you again."

Zhao Tuo secretly "blessed" Huan Zhao in his heart.

He cupped his hands to Li Xin and said, "General Li, I have rectified the soldiers in the battalion, but I don't know which general to report to."

All the generals looked at him, because Zhao Tuo and Huan Zhao were recruited temporarily, and no official captain had been appointed to take charge of him, so Zhao Tuo didn't have a superior captain to take care of him.

Li Xin glanced at Zhao Tuo's expectant expression, understood it, and said, "Now that Huan Zhao has a heart attack, his soldiers have been transferred to the rear for that song. Your song will not be under the jurisdiction of generals and lieutenants. You Zhao Tuo Report directly to me in the future."

Great!
Zhao Tuo was overjoyed. In this way, his team was similar to the formation of the independent regiment of later generations, which can be called "independent song". It surpassed the jurisdiction of the school lieutenant and general Pi, and was directly responsible to the general Li Xin. Zhao Tuo no longer needs to be coerced by others.

Regarding Li Xin's arrangement, Meng Wu didn't say anything.

First of all, Zhao Tuo's song belongs to a patchwork of miscellaneous troops. When they go to the battlefield, they are usually used as support or partial division. It doesn't matter if there is a school captain or not.Secondly, he, Meng Wu, is not a general who doesn't care about human feelings. He rejected Zhao Tuo's post as a lieutenant before, so how could he take Li Xin's face again now.

When the generals were discussing military affairs in their tents, some short soldiers came to report.

"Mr. Changping is here?"

Li Xin was startled, and then smiled at the generals: "I wanted to go to the city to visit the prince after finishing the military affairs, but I didn't expect the prince to come in person, we will go to greet you."

"only."

Zhao Tuo agreed with the generals. Although he had a smile on his face, there was a warning sign in his heart. The good mood of having an "independent song" just now was destroyed.

Lord Changping.

He wore a four-inch-high crown on his head, a square black dress, and a purple ribbon wrapped around his waist. At first glance, he looked noble and luxurious, which was a typical dress of a Marquis of Qin.Just from his clothes, he showed his title, which was higher than everyone in the army. Even Li Xin had to bow his head in front of him.

Of course, the difference in titles can only represent the level of treatment. Lord Changping did not have the power to command and interfere with the Chu army. The Qin army only obeyed Li Xin who held the tiger talisman and the axe.

"Li Xin has seen Junhou, but he hasn't seen him for a year. Junhou has lost weight."

Li Xin bowed his hands to Lord Changping with a respectful expression.

"I have seen the prince."

Zhao Tuo also followed Meng Wu and others to salute.

However, although Zhao Tuo's head was slightly lowered, his eyes kept looking at Mr. Changping in front of him.

Mr. Changping lost weight.

As Li Xin said, Mr. Changping, who has been in Huaiyang for a year, has lost a whole circle of weight compared to when he was in Xianyang.

Mr. Changping's height is only about seven feet and five inches, and it is about 1.7 meters in later generations. Coupled with the unique Chu people's appearance, he looks very delicate.

Now that he has lost weight, his body exposed to the outside looks a bit skinny, especially with the high crown and loose royal clothes on Mr. Changping's head, which looks very funny at first glance.

An idiom popped up in Zhao Tuo's mind.

Wash the monkey and crown!

Just when Zhao Tuo's thoughts were flying wildly, Mr. Changping also spoke, still saying in that gentle voice: "It's been a long time since I've seen General Li, but he still looks the same. I'm really envious."

Li Xin said with a smile: "It is thanks to Junhou working hard for the country in Huaiyang that Li Xin can enjoy some peace in Xianyang. Junhou is really hardworking. Please record it quickly."

While chatting and laughing, the two walked towards the tent.

Lord Changping greeted Meng Wu and the others, and stopped when they walked past Zhao Tuo.

"Is this Zhao Tuo?"

Mr. Changping looked sideways. He stretched out a hand and patted Zhao Tuo's shoulder, squeezed it again, and said with a smile, "I've grown taller and stronger."

Zhao Tuo shuddered, and said with "respect" on his face: "Zhao Tuo has met the Lord."

Mr. Changping's voice is soft like that of a neighbor's uncle.

"What a boy, I haven't seen you for almost a year, and you've already put on the crown. I heard that you did a lot of great things in Weidi, and even Wei Jiu was caught. You must be Zuo Shuzhang now, right? .”

Before Zhao Tuo could speak, Li Xin on the side laughed and said, "Your Majesty, you underestimated Zhao Tuo, he is now the title of You Shu Zhang!"

The right concubine?
Mr. Changping was startled, a look of surprise flashed in his quiet eyes.

How fast it is to be promoted from the public servant to the title of You Shuchang in one year!

He suddenly remembered that when he was in Xianyang, he once wanted to use the title of the five doctors to trick him out of his mouth.Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the opponent jumped to the title of You Shuchang with his military exploits, which is really surprising.

Zhao Tuo said modestly: "This is all the ability appreciated by the king, not just the merit of Zhao Tuo."

Seeing the young man's humble face, Changping-kun showed an encouraging smile.

"It's good not to be proud of the credit. In this battle against Chu, under the leadership of General Li, our country, Qin, will surely win. Zhao Tuo, you work hard. You may not be able to rise to a noble after this battle."

Hearing this, Li Xin showed complacency.

Meng Wu frowned slightly.

And Zhao Tuo twitched the corner of his mouth, forced a smile on his face: "Thank you for your praise, Junhou."

Lord Changping glanced at Zhao Tuo again, smiled, and followed Li Xin inside.

Zhao Tuo looked at his body wrapped in the baggy clothes, and his scalp felt numb. Even in the cool autumn, his back was covered in cold sweat.

"Definitely a big victory? Go up to a noble? I just ask you to spare our lives!"

Zhao Tuo smiled wryly in his heart, and hurriedly followed.

Now that he is the military marquis directly under Li Xin, although the number of people under his command has not changed, he has the power to discuss military affairs with the generals and lieutenants, which is a great benefit.

In the handsome tent, Li Xin, Changping Jun and others sat down respectively.

Li Xin sat at the head seat, Lord Changping sat on the right, and Meng Wu, Xin Wu, Zhao Tuo and others sat on the left.The order of the direction of the seats clearly distinguishes the high and low status.

After some politeness, let's get down to business.

"It's been a lot of hard work for the prince to take care of the logistics and transport the food and fodder for us during this great battle."

"They are all working for the King, so why bother to talk about it?"

Mr. Changping smiled gently, but that smile looked terrifying in Zhao Tuo's eyes.

According to the original plan for the battle against Chu, Li Xin and Meng Wu led troops to fight in the front, while Lord Changping sat in Huaiyang and took the lead in transporting food and fodder for the army.

It can be said that the lifeblood of the 20 army is in the hands of the prince in front of him.

Thinking of this, Zhao Tuo felt weak all over.

In the current situation, there are wolves in the front and tigers in the back. Whether it is serving as a combat force in the front or doing logistics in the rear, it is full of crises.

If there is no Lord Changping, Zhao Tuo can ask for orders to escort the grain and fodder in the rear this time, and he can successfully escape the defeat on the frontal battlefield and save his life.

But precisely because the Qin army's logistics was in the hands of Lord Changping, Zhao Tuo did not dare to ask for orders from the queen.

If he asks for orders later and is under the command of Lord Changping, who knows if he will be killed first when the other party rebels?

As for informing Li Xin of Lord Changping's rebellion in advance.

Look at Li Xin's face full of respect, will you believe me?
Moreover, Zhao Tuo couldn't produce any evidence at all. If he dared to speak nonsense, a crime of falsely accusing the prince would be enough to put Zhao Tuo in prison.

People don't need to do anything, and you may be directly in jail.

Ugh……

Just when Zhao Tuo lamented the danger of this battle in his heart.

Changping-kun has already brought up the topic of the Great War.

He smiled and asked, "The battle against Chu is about to begin. I wonder if General Li has a plan to defeat the enemy?"

The moment Zhao Tuo heard this, his whole body was terrified.

Mr. Changping, this is spying on Qin Jun's strategy of defeating Chu!
