I’m The King

With three pillars of fragrance in his hand, Meng Tian worshipped three times in the air, and he bent and inserted it into an incense burner on the table in front of him.Behind the incense burner, there was a spiritual card standing, which was Li Xin's spiritual position.

After three prayers, Meng Tian sat down, and a table of sumptuous banquets was placed in front of the incense burner. He lifted the jug and filled the wine glasses on both sides. Meng Tian picked up the wine glass and toasted to the spiritual position: "General Li, I respect you ."

He raised his neck, drank it, put down his glass, but Meng Tian's expression was extremely complicated. "You and I have been officials in the same court for 20 years, but who knows, we have never had a meal at a table. Wine? It's a pity to want to come, but this pity will never be able to make up."

He sighed, filled the glass again and drank it dry.

Twenty years ago, when King Qin Wulie succeeded to the throne, Meng Tian was already a general, commanding a 200,000 army stationed on the border of Qin and Chu, but because he was not a close confidant of King Qin Wulie, he has always been jealous. The general who moved the nest is also unique in Da Qin's history. The reason why Qin Wulie has not touched him is only because he has deep qualifications and has never made a mistake.

However, Li Xin has sprung up in the past two decades. With the support of King Qin Wulie and the support of the old general Yingteng, Li Xin fought against the west, destroyed countless countries, and broke the name of the **** of war. Zhao Mu, Zhao Mu, one east and one west, tied the world, and Meng Tian, ​​because he was stationed on the border of Qin and Chu, faced with the mutual jealousy of Qin and Chu, and basically had no battle exploits, his reputation was gradually overshadowed by Li Xin.

It was not that Meng Tian had no grievances in his heart.If the wars launched by the Qin State were not led by the young Li Xin, but replaced by himself, I believe it would be easier to win.

But with the passage of time, Li Xin matured day by day, and he commanded more and more troops, and finally leveled him above the military rank, and the battles under his command, Meng Tian was also awe-inspiring, and he was finally extinct. He wanted to compete with Li Xin. The young Li Xin had grown into a world-famous general who he also sighed inferiorly.

But now, Li Xin, who he is also convinced, is gone forever. Li Xin is only in his early forties this year, but he is already close to his sixtieth birthday.

Meng Tian regretted that the death of Li Xin was an irreversible loss for Da Qin. Da Qin's generals had already shown signs of failure to pick up the yellow and yellow. Even if Lu Chao was good, it was a pity that he was still younger and made many mistakes, leading the army alone. It was no problem, but it was difficult to call on the entire team, and Wang Jian, which he had been optimistic about, disappeared without a trace following the defeat of his father Wang Xiao.

"Da Qin, the wind and rain are shaking!"

As a general who did not completely trust King Qin Wulie, but was able to lead hundreds of thousands of troops to stand for two decades, Meng Tian knew the political way. When he learned that Li Xin was defeated and died on the prairie. , He already understood that this time the Qin-Han war was over. The one hundred thousand Qin army he led swept the Wei State and took the main beam, but he also knew very well that this was not a manifestation of the true strength of the opposite Ye Zhen. Above, the army led by Ye Zhen is no less than him. The Central Field Army has more than 50,000 troops, the newly reorganized Wei Army has 30,000, and Zhou Changshou’s Zhao Army also has nearly 30,000, and the opponent has more than 100,000. People's strength, but they didn't take a fight with him seriously, and they often left at the touch of a touch. They actually gave him Wei Guo easily, which made him more cautious. A reasonable thing. Even if Zhao Jun might not listen to his command, the newly compiled 30,000 Wei army is basically led by Han army officers. They and Ye Zhen's own army have exceeded 80,000, which is enough. The ability to fight oneself.

Meng Tian even wondered if the other party was borrowing a knife to kill someone, first let himself occupy the country of Wei, and then they attacked and defeated himself, but where did they gain confidence?

Lure the enemy to go deeper and let yourself go deeper? Meng Tian hadn't considered this possibility before, but after taking the main beam, his army and Lu Chao's army have been integrated, and it is basically impossible.

But now, Meng Tian understands that the most deadly threat is not Ye Zhen on the opposite side, but Zhao Guo, who may come behind him. It is time to withdraw the troops, and when the troops are withdrawn, by the way, Zhao Ren who has been half down will be completely beaten down. , Has become the only choice for Qin State. As for the fat of Wei State, how much Qin State can swallow depends on the confrontation with opponents at the negotiating table.

There was a slight sound of footsteps behind him, and Meng Tian was a little surprised.When he set up this table of wine in the backyard of the Great Wei Palace, he had already ordered no one to come in without his own order. Who is this? Why did he break in so boldly? He turned his head back a little angrily, and when he saw the person coming, his face was first in a daze, and then again in a daze.

"Who am I, my steps are as light as a cat, and my son is like a tiger and a leopard, but I never tiptoe like this!" Meng Tian sat there, looking at the people, and said sarcastically.

"Meng Tian, ​​every time you meet, don't you feel uncomfortable if you don't sneer at me for a few words?" The visitor walked to Meng Tian's side angrily, and at a glance, he saw the spiritual card on the table and silently clasped his fists to the ground, before reaching out his hand. Pulling the opposite chair over, he sat on Meng Tian's side.

"Leading soldiers to fight well, galloping on the battlefield and quitting, and wanting to do these dark activities." Meng Tian said rudely.

Zhong Li smiled, "You have done all the things that are upright and bright. Someone has to do these dark activities. Meng Tian, ​​I have limited military talents. I can't compare with you. Naturally, I can only find another way. Otherwise, I How can you, like you, seal the house and open the palace?

Meng Tian sighed and looked at Zhong Li for a long while, "I didn't expect you to come in person!"

"There is nothing unexpected, Wang Shang's illness will not last for a few days, he wants to see you for the last time!" Zhong Li grabbed the glass in front of Meng Tian, ​​poured a glass and drank it, but his eyes were still staring at Meng Tian. .

Meng Tian smiled bitterly, "I have reached the point where I am now, and the king still doesn't believe me? In fact, as long as an edict, I will naturally go back. How can you come in person!"

"The king is really dying!" Zhong Li said sternly: "It's not that you go back to Xianyang for a stroll."

Meng Tian lowered his head and remained silent.Regardless of whether King Qin Wulie was too real or too fake, to him, the result was always the same.

"Li Xin has been Wang Shang's companion since he was a child, and he has deep feelings. Wang Shang was seriously ill, and he was hit by this, but he was only delaying the day." Zhong Li said carefully: "The king also knows my friendship with you, let me I came here to reassure you that the king didn't mean to kill you, he just hoped that you would retire."

"The new king, the emperor and the courtier, this is what it should be. What's more, the king didn't worry about me. He didn't move me before, but was worried that my influence in the army was brought out by me. The two hundred thousand army is nothing. In the first two years, General Wang Zhou Yu sent to my army, and he successively dispatched many generals in the past. That Zhou Yu was also an individual talent, presumably the king now thinks Zhou Yu I have been able to control my army on the border between Qin and Chu, but on this side, I am facing the enemy of the Han army, Ye Zhen. Speaking of it, the king still thinks that I will not betray Da Qin, knowing that above such a pass, I I will never trade Da Qin's interests for his own interests." Meng Tian raised the wine jar and took a few big mouthfuls.

"A gentleman can deceive him."

Zhong Li grinned, "The king is the king, and he is bullying you, so what can you do? Meng Tian, ​​you are also old, come down, go back to take care of your life, and Han Yi has a grandson. Kind of fun."

"You are here, can I still not leave?" Meng Tian let out a long breath: "Who will take my hand?"

"Lu Chao!"

"It's so-so!" Meng Tian nodded, "At least it won't be a bad thing."

"Lu Chao is a closed disciple of Mr. Li Ru and he is highly valued by the king."

"But he is a scholar himself. Although he is familiar with military books, he can be considered as a master of war, but when it comes to a critical juncture, it is likely to have a big problem!" Meng Tian said: "Talking about soldiers on paper is a huge gap with reality. It's a pity that Wang cut it out, otherwise let Wang cut it better."

"Wang Xiao committed suicide. Before he died, he ordered 20,000 Qin troops to surrender to the Han troops!" Zhong Li said suddenly, "This is the latest news."

Meng Tian let out a cry, looking at Zhong Li in shock, "Where is Wang Jian, where is the 30,000 army?"

"Wang Jian brought thirty thousand Qin troops into the desert!" Zhong Li said.

"This is their only way to escape." Meng Tian said: "Wang Xiao was also absolutely decisive, but he ordered the 20,000 army to come down without a fight, and the king might be very angry."

"All of the Wang's family members in Xianyang have been put to jail." Zhong Li said.

Meng Tian fell silent again, shook his head, and after a while, shook his head again, "How exactly did Li Xin die? Now that there is a detailed military report, I can't believe that Li Xin still has tens of thousands of troops. Under the circumstances, the whole army will be destroyed and you will also be trapped."

"I know that you want to know the detailed military situation, so this time I came, I also brought the detailed military report of the battle, including the report of the soldiers who fled back, and the submission of Dan Yu, and my black ice platform from others. The information inquired from the side." Zhong Li took out a large stack of scrolls from his arms and placed them in front of Meng Tian." I can’t figure out some of the circumstances, and the fourth prince can’t figure it out. You can take a look, maybe Identify some problems."

Meng Tian remained silent, and began to read these files one by one.

After half an hour passed, Meng Tian read all the files.

"But there is a problem with rain!" he said flatly.

"Do you think so too? The fourth prince and I also find it very difficult to understand."

"From the comprehensive analysis of the information you brought, Li Xin might have had a chance to come back, at least he had a chance to come back, but he categorically gave up, and went all alone. He wanted to fight tens of thousands of troops to die. Light, you have to kill Gao Yuan. Under such circumstances, how can Dan Yu lead five thousand cavalrymen to leave the battlefield? If there are these five thousand cavalrymen, he is more likely to succeed." Meng Tian said.

"So, but Yu disobeyed the military order and escaped privately!" Zhong Li's eyes instantly showed murderous aura. (To be continued)
