Chapter 139

"Exactly." Ying Zheng simply agreed.

Meng Mastiff became embarrassed. He originally supported Ying Zheng, but the current situation put him in a dilemma.

Even Wang Jian hesitated now. After seeing Ying Zheng, he had a lot of worries.

The generals were different, looking at Ying Zheng, they were full of anger, and they became weird.

"Originally, it was His Royal Highness, who said last time that the martial arts will not be abandoned, but this time it has brought about disarmament."

"The crown prince doesn't want to give way to veterans!"

"Prince, your move is really too ruthless."

Hearing their taunts, Ying Zheng didn't pay attention, chuckled and said, "Whether it's a disabled soldier or an old soldier, they are all useless soldiers."

As soon as these words came out, the generals became even more angry.

"Am I wrong? You kept saying that for Daqin, you bowed and refined, and died. But now it seems that your actions have seriously jeopardized Daqin's strengths." Ying Zheng said loudly.

The old face of Meng Mastiff is a bit embarrassing. The truth is what Ying Zheng said is reasonable. With some meritorious service, they claim credit and self-confidence. out.

"Prince, even so, why can't we treat veterans well?" Wang Jian was young and powerful, so he didn't respond.

"The prince asked them to plant sweet potatoes, which is already pampering them. The war is for Qin, and sweet potatoes can also be for Qin. There is no difference between the two, but when it comes to your mouth, there is a difference. point.

Veterans are old, what role can they have in the army?Could it be that they can still go to the battlefield?If you really go to the battlefield, everyone here will be a group of murderers.

Not to mention disabled soldiers.

It is indeed the best thing to grow sweet potatoes to earn some food, and to add some warmth to oneself. " Ying Zheng spoke so boldly that all the generals were speechless.

In fact, Lu Buwei is quite eloquent, but he doesn't have enough aura to stop the spittle of all generals.

"There is a saying in the book of war that it is not about the number of soldiers, but the quality. A large number of soldiers does not mean that they are strong. Such a large number of veterans will not make the army strong, but will become a burden on the army. You say to help Qin, Is it to weaken the combat effectiveness of the Qin army?" Ying Zheng said coldly.

Although Meng Mastiff admitted that what Ying Zheng said was right, but he couldn't get rid of his old face, so he had to say: "The prince is really young and doesn't understand military affairs. He is just saying nothing."

Seeing Meng Mastiff's statement, Wang Jian naturally followed up and said, "All the generals are strongly opposed to this matter. Is the prince really going to act arbitrarily?"

"Military, it's just a trail." Ying Zheng smiled lightly.

"Prince, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense. You are so contemptuous of the military. If you say you don't go, won't you make people in the world laugh at you?" Meng Mastiff said angrily.

"It's true, listening to the prince's words, it seems that he has a clear understanding of military affairs?" Wang Jian said in disbelief.

"It's over, isn't the prince trying to compete with them?" Lu Buwei was startled.

"Meng Mastiff is a great general of the Qin State, he has already fought with Bai Qi, and his military quality is extremely high." The Zhu family was startled and broke out in a cold sweat.

"What exactly does the prince want to do? If he competes with the Mongolian mastiff in military affairs, he will definitely lose." Situ Wanli is not optimistic.

"Of course, just compare with you, and you will understand." Ying Zheng said unhurriedly.

Although the Mongolian Mastiff is very angry, but the fact is that it is far-sighted, and it must be considered for the future of the Qin State, not to damage the image of the prince today, so he said: "Prince, war is a sublime knowledge. Clear. I hope the prince will not join this matter."

"At my current age, I have studied military art for many years, but I have only found a threshold, and I have not officially stepped in. The prince's words don't count." Wang Jian said in a deep voice.

"What's the problem for you? I'll screen [-] soldiers from the barracks again. You screen [-] soldiers from the barracks again. After two months, I'll show you how to draw." Ying Zheng said lightly.

Lu Buwei's mood changed drastically. Judging from Ying Zheng's appearance, he was about to go to the dark side. He thought Ying Zheng had some good tricks, but he didn't expect it to be such a trick.

The Zhu family and Situ Wanli looked at each other and shook their heads, clearly not optimistic about Ying Zheng's future.

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar, which was even more enthusiastic than when Lu Buwei proposed disarmament.

"The general is a veteran on the battlefield, with illustrious military exploits, and the soldiers he trains are the 'tiger and wolf soldiers' selected from thousands of miles. The armies of the six kingdoms in Shandong will make a detour when they meet the general."

"Qin State is the most powerful country among the Seven Kingdoms, and the Qin Army is the number one army in the world. It is simply impossible to train soldiers stronger than Qin State from the new army."

"The prince has only won a few battles, and I have never heard that he can train soldiers. What I said today can only be treated as a joke."

"With five hundred against five thousand, it is even more difficult to defeat the general. Even if you search all over the seven countries, you can't find such a person. Even if Li Muleyi is here, he dare not say such nonsense .”

"Don't forget, the crown prince has already surpassed Lian Po, just by the difference of one to ten."

Meng Mastiff couldn't hold back his anger anymore, and immediately agreed, saying loudly: "Okay, if you lose at that time, don't mention the matter of disarmament."

"What should you do if you lose?" Ying Zheng asked.

"How could the old man lose?" Meng Mastiff said in disbelief.

"There are contingencies in everything. If you lose, agree to my terms." Ying Zheng was very confident in himself.

"Hmph! Your Royal Highness, this eventuality is impossible. The old man first learned to fight at the age of eight, and it has been 70 to [-] years now. Even if he is not gifted, he cannot easily overcome it." Meng Mastiff felt that Ying Politics is too arrogant.

"Prince, in my opinion, if you are willing to fail now, everything can be negotiated, otherwise, it will be unsightly." Wang Jianming felt that Yingzheng would definitely fail this time.

"No, thank you General Wang Jian for your kindness." Ying Zheng cupped his hands and said, this competition was exactly what he wanted, so how could he retreat now.

Seeing that Ying Zheng was so strong, King Zhuangxiang of Qin had some confidence, so he agreed: "Since both Zheng'er and the general have made peace, I will be the witness of this contest!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ying Zheng and Meng Mastiff bowed their hands in salute at the same time.

"Let's retreat!" King Qin Zhuangxiang waved his hand, and with the support of the eunuch, he returned to the palace.

He took a deep look at the back, a little sad, but also a little excited, and his emotions were very cumbersome.

After retreating from the imperial court, the military generals gathered together, obviously talking about this competition.

"This disarmament must have been initiated by the prince. Although it is reasonable, I still feel uncomfortable."

"The general fought south and north, made great achievements in battle, and is well versed in military art, while the crown prince has only fought a few battles, all under the company of Li Cunxiao. This time he actually wants to compete with the general, obviously he will lose_ gone."

"His Royal Highness has never been rotten since he entered the Qin Dynasty. It is indeed good, but a life without rottenness is too boring. Two months later, the general will give him an in-depth lesson."

Almost all the generals felt that Ying Zheng must be corrupt this time, and it was impossible to win the battle at all.

"Li Cunxiao's evaluation of the prince is very high, not flattery, but what he said from the bottom of his heart. In my opinion, we need to be cautious this time." Meng Tian has a good relationship with Li Cunxiao, and he has heard Li Cunxiao's awe of Ying Zheng many times. words.

"Meng Tian is right. Li Cunxiao's character is known to all his friends. He is an upright man, and he will not say anything flattering." Meng Yi continued.

"Since he has such a high evaluation of the prince, there must be his own reasons, and he should not be despised." Wang Ben also said in a low voice.

Wang Jian was a little cautious in nature, but this time he was full of conviction, and said loudly: "With the ability of the general, even if it is five thousand against five thousand, there is a great chance of winning. But the crown prince wants to use five hundred against five thousand. wishful thinking."

"The crown prince once said that it's not about the number of soldiers, but about the quality, but he didn't know that if there were too many ants, the elephant could be killed. In this training, if ten ants fight against one, it is impossible for the old man to lose." Meng Mastiff She has great confidence in her own power.

"It's good to be cautious, but you can't take advantage of the victory. Now we are clearly in the rhythm of a great victory. How can we act like a woman, mother-in-law." Wang Hao smiled cheerfully and patted Wang Ben.

"Everyone, don't be impatient. There is a saying in the art of war that the underdog will win. Although we have the upper hand now, we have become a proud soldier without anyone noticing it." Meng Tian shook his head and said.

"Although the chances of winning this time are great, we still act with caution." Meng Yi's nature is usually calm.

"Meng Tian and Meng Yi are right, we should act with caution." Wang Ben has always supported Meng Tian and Meng Yi.

"You three have been with Li Cunxiao for a long time, so you have such a long time. This time we are not arrogant soldiers, but the crown prince is a proud soldier." Wang Jian corrected.

"Wang Jian is right, you guys, you have such a temperamental mother-in-law, you need to correct it, otherwise Miaoyuan will definitely become a serious problem." Wang Yan wanted to beat a few juniors.

"According to what you mean, is it possible that I will lose to the prince?" Meng Mastiff said happily, but the two grandsons were all for Yingzheng, not for him.

"Grandpa, there is no other meaning for us to discuss matters in office." Meng Tian said quickly.

"Yes! Grandpa, don't you find it strange? This time the prince is willing to agree to such a competition, he must have his own control." Meng Yi reminded.

Meng Mastiff paused for a moment, but said inattentively: "There is no control, it's nothing more than impulsiveness. The truth is that young people in the prime of life will compete like Xu, which is normal."

"Don't worry, the prince won't lose too badly this time, otherwise, it won't benefit the Qin country much." Wang Yanming felt that he would definitely win.

"The last time the Chu family relatives happened, but the bloody education, all the main officials died." Another objection was raised.

"The people of Chu were very powerful at the beginning, but since the death of Mrs. Huayang, Cheng Jiao retired first, and they were the first to decline. Mi Hong didn't know how to live or die, and wanted to rely on the method of assassination, but he was shooting himself in the foot." Meng Mastiff stroked his white beard, clearly disdainful of Mi Hong's behavior at the beginning.

"Chu people are different from us. Chu people hit eggs against rocks. They were eggs at that time, but our generals are different. They are much harder than rocks." Wang Jian laughed loudly.

"That's right! Those Chu people are a bunch of bastards, they don't have much talent, but our status is all bought with blood." Wang Yan became angry when he mentioned Chu people.

"What about the rice paper and brushes?" Meng Tian said hastily.

"That's right! Xuan paper and brushes were unknowingly excavated. The crown prince has entrusted these two things to recruit a large number of talents for Qin." Meng Yi continued.

"The prince has always been extraordinary." Wang Ben was in awe of Ying Zheng.

"Xuan paper and brush are the work of craftsmen, and have little to do with military affairs." Wang Jian said patiently, determined to train this junior.

"Even recruiting talents is something civil servants do, and has nothing to do with us military officers." Wang Yan explained.

"Yingzheng has fought a few battles from the past to the present. It's not clear if he fought well." Meng Mastiff said slowly.

……

Meng Tian kept shaking his head.

Meng Yi said softly: "As you said, the prince has only fought a few battles, but every time he moves, he really knows the art of war."

Immediately, Meng Yi was the first to express his conjecture.

The whole audience became quiet, and the crows and birds were silent. After a long time, they began to study in a low voice.

"There is indeed some truth, whether it is a book of war or not, but it illustrates an extremely important point, that is, the crown prince will never do things that are out of control." Wang Jian breathed out deeply, and his confidence was a little shaken.

"His actions seem reckless this time, but there must be reasons for him. The prince has never been the kind of person who acts on his own will." Meng Mastiff finally became cautious, half-closed his eyes, as if he was thinking.

When generals in the army see this action of the Mongolian Mastiff, they all know that the Mongolian Mastiff is facing a formidable enemy.

"In my opinion, it's better to be more careful. Don't forget what you should practice, and don't do what you shouldn't do. It's only two months, and it will pass soon." Wang Yan checked.

"Okay, let's do it like this." Meng Mastiff held Wang Lu's hand.

Meng Tian and Meng Yi were very happy, knowing that their efforts had succeeded, and calmed down the fever-headed hometown folks.

Wang Ben was also very happy, knowing that his father and grandfather were going to take it seriously.

If it was like that just now, it might as well capsize in the gutter.

"The old man is quite old." Wang Yan said loudly.

"What year?" Meng Mastiff asked curiously.

General Su's words quickly attracted the eyes of many generals, and the audience fell silent in an instant.

"Let these juniors go to Yingzheng's army to study. If Yingzheng can really train soldiers who can stand up to ten soldiers, then it's considered a profit. If they can't be trained, we can also make good arrangements with them so that the prince will not be allowed to fight. It's a terrible loss." Wang Yan expressed his hope.

"It's true that Ying Zheng has always had magical calculations. If you learn more from him, it will be of great benefit to your future." Meng Mastiff nodded to express peace.

"In the future, the prince will ascend the throne and become the king of Qin. If you establish a good relationship with him, there will be only benefits and no harm." Although Wang Jian was a military general, he was not a reckless man and knew the use of favors.

"My grandson is clear." Meng Tian said, cupping his hands.

"Grandpa, don't worry, I know what to do." Meng Yi blinked his big shiny eyes.

But no one dared to underestimate them, not only because they were the grandsons of General Meng Mastiff, but also because they both established a lot of achievements when the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was destroyed last time.

Wang Jian patted his son unhappy, and cursed in a low voice: "Wang Ben, do you know what to do?"

My son is good at everything, but he is a little stunned and his mind is a little out of order.

"Father, please rest assured, I know what to do." Wang Ben said with his hands in hand.

"Then what should you do?" Wang Jian asked curiously.

"Whatever Meng Tian and the others do, I will follow suit." Wang Ben said righteously.

When Wang Jian heard this, he was furious, but was stopped by Wang Yan.

I only heard Wang Yan chuckle and said: "Wang Jian, there is no need to worry, Wang Ben actually has his own reasons for doing this."

Wang Jianzheng took a moment, immediately understood the meaning of his father, and then laughed.

On the school field, Ying Zheng took Lu Buwei to screen the soldiers, but when he arrived at the school field, Lu Buwei was dumbfounded.

Those recruits looked young and looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, their eyes were darting around, and many of them were skinny.

"Damn it, I'm sure those veterans messed up and chose such soldiers for us." Lu Buwei said displeased.

"No, don't talk nonsense about things without evidence. Although the old generals don't like the policy of disarmament, they are all upright warriors, and they won't use such methods." Ying Zheng persuaded in a low voice.

The lieutenant general who was responsible for the welcome heard everything at a glance. At first he thought that Ying Zheng was just an arrogant person, but today, it seems that he is extremely stable, which is completely contrary to what the army said.

"I have met the prince!" General Pi saluted immediately.

"You are responsible for this reception?" Ying Zheng said he was not polite.

"Exactly." The captain said very little.

"Did your recruits do any moves this time, but they all look like skinny monkeys, it's so fresh." Lu Buwei groped deliberately.

"The prime minister was joking. These recruits all look like this. They are growing in stature. In a few years, they will definitely become fatter and fatter one by one." General Pi said with a smile.

"Is that so?" Lu Buwei didn't see the disguise in General Pi's expression, and was a little unwilling.

"No Wei, let's go and have a look first!" Ying Zheng ordered.

"No!" Even though Lu Buwei wanted to get involved, he didn't dare to disobey Ying Zheng's order.

General Pi took two steps forward, reached the recruits before him, and said loudly: "The prince is here, and you still haven't saluted."

The recruits immediately calmed down, saluted Ying Zheng, and said together: "The prince will never live forever."

Mingming was rehearsed in advance, so it is extremely neat.

"No courtesy." Ying Zheng said that they were no courtesy.

It was the first time for the recruits to see Ying Zheng, and they were very enthusiastic, so they began to study in low voices.

"He is the crown prince Yingzheng, who was conferred the title of Ding Tianjun by King Qin Zhaoxiang, and was later conferred the title of Yingzheng, the Holy Son of Heaven by the previous kings."

"Seeing is better than hearing a hundred times. When I saw it today, His Highness the Crown Prince is indeed extraordinary. He is full of aura and has the air of an emperor."

"That's natural, our prince, but he is a genius among innate talents, and has high attainments in all aspects."

"Quiet, let's all be quiet." General Pi said loudly.

Seeing that everyone had calmed down, Ying Zheng said loudly: "My purpose for coming here today is very clear to everyone. You, and you, the one behind you, the one on the left...all follow me."

Soon, Ying Zheng ordered 500 people and brought them all back to the prince's mansion, preparing to give them special training.

"A few of these are too thin, why don't we change to the stronger ones?" Lu Buwei hesitated.

"No need, these people are basically okay, I have confidence." Ying Zheng said lightly.

Now that Yingzheng said so, Lu Buwei said yes, and said goodbye to Yingzheng at the door.

The lieutenant general was surprised, and whispered: "These recruits are extremely weak. According to common sense, they should be furious. But he just ordered 500 people so casually. Could it be that he really has control?"

Soon, Bi Qian briefly reported to Meng Mastiff what happened here.

Many generals were in the residence of the great general, and the general who had no qualifications for research, retreated after taking care of the news.

"What do you guys think?" Meng Mastiff asked with a glimpse.

"I think the prince is very confident, otherwise, everything would not just point out 500 people." Meng Tian said loudly.

"Well, I think what Meng Tian said makes sense. If he didn't have faith, he would definitely pick and choose. He probably asked us to give him another batch of recruits." Meng Yi continued.

"The prince's move is full of profound meaning." Wang Ben said very little, but this time he hit the nail on the head.

"That's right, what Wang Ben said is right, it is full of deep meaning, but I just don't know what the deep meaning is?" Wang Jian asked thoughtfully.

"Probably because he knew that he would be corrupted this time, but he wanted to use it to achieve his other goals." Wang Lu pondered.

"It's possible that the prince is deliberately provoking trouble this time, and then asked us to compete with him, but in fact he has other purposes." Meng Mastiff deeply sympathized with this.

"I actually think that the prince will definitely be able to train advanced fighters this time." Meng Yi interrupted.

"Oh? Meng Tian, ​​what do you think?" Meng Mastiff was very interesting.

"If there are other purposes, they should have discussed with us in advance, just like the last time they sent troops to the party, but this time there is no such thing, it must be controlled by the victory." Meng Tian was shocked.

"I agree with what they say." Wang Ben is older, but he is dominated by Meng Tian and Yi.

"No matter what the prince's purpose is, since he didn't tell us, let's try our best to win." Wang Yan checked.

For Wang Yan's verification, Meng Mastiff thought it was very reasonable, so he agreed: "Beware of sailing for thousands of years."

At this time, the Prince's Mansion was different from usual, it was much more lively, more than 500 men came.Although they are thin, there are actually many people, and when they become noisy, it is the same as the situation of a dish, but when they see Ying Zheng, they calm down.

Most of the ordinary people in Qin State are like this, they are familiar with the honorable deeds of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and they also know that the Crown Prince has made great contributions to the common people, even these young people have great respect for Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng found Tian Zhen and Tian Feng, and asked them to ask someone to tidy up the house, and go to the store to pick up the tables and chairs they bought in advance.Under the careful arrangement of several people, a brand new training ground was discovered.

Although the practice field in the Prince's Mansion is not big, it is well-equipped with everything that should be there.

"You go in and familiarize yourself with the situation inside. I will come to you in the morning." Ying Zheng gave a brief instruction, and then took Tian Zhen and Tian Feng away, leaving only those frail young people.

"Promise!" The prince's entrustment, these recruits naturally did not dare to disobey, and immediately agreed.

Immediately afterwards, Ying Zheng called in the younger generation of the Mo family.
