Hu Hai

As soon as Wang Jian's words came out of his mouth, all the ministers present were surprised.

In the war of destroying the country, every battle must be won, and there is no suspense in winning. Even in the face of Zhao Guo, a country with fierce soldiers and good fighters, the loss of the Qin army is much smaller than expected. It can be said that apart from Ying Zheng's unconditional trust Besides, Wang Jian made great contributions.

Now there are only three countries left: Qi, Wei, and Chu. Why did General Wang Jian hesitate and dare not go forward?

Wang Jian pursed his lips tightly. This time, he did not show any expression that could remind people of victory, but said in a low voice, "My lord, although Chu has experienced two civil strife, its foundation has not been broken. If you want to conquer Chu in one fell swoop, , I have to use all the best soldiers and good generals of our Great Qin. I think... the method of attacking Chu and Wei at the same time is not smart enough, and if it is done, it is impossible to get any good results."

Ying Zheng's heart was originally filled with evil fire because Hu Hai was instigated by "Zhao Gao, a man from the Six Kingdoms", and he had a serious illness in his heart. He wanted to destroy the remaining three countries as soon as possible, but Wang Jian suddenly poured cold water on him. Displeased.

He snorted coldly, shook his head and said, "The older the general, the more timid he is than when he was in his prime."

As soon as Ying Zheng spoke, the originally harmonious atmosphere in the big study instantly cooled down. The ministers present looked at Ying Zheng and Wang Jian back and forth with strange expressions. What, it made the king feel dissatisfied with him.

Wang Ben looked at his father and the King of Qin, and said without thinking, "I only need [-] troops, and I can destroy Wei, without letting the troops affect the battle to destroy Chu."

Wang Jian shook his head, not only did not show the slightest joy because of the steps given by Wang Ben, but reprimanded him in a deeper voice: "Zhuzi is rude, please don't take his words to heart."

As soon as Li Xin heard Wang Ben open his mouth, he also interjected, "Your Majesty, as long as you give me 20 troops, the general will surely capture Shouchun!"

Wang Jian frowned when he heard the words, stretched out his hands to press Li Xin's shoulders to prevent him from getting up, and reprimanded him in a low voice: "How dare you say that?"

Li Xin said in high spirits: "There are only a few small cities around the country left in the Wei country, and the Yan country has raised troops again and again to rebel and change the king. There is nothing to be afraid of. The general is always a cautious person. It’s just that I’m really worrying too much this time, the internal struggle in Chu has consumed all the elites, how can there be any strength worthy of my Qin army’s elites, just to fight for them.”

After saying that, Li Xin looked at Ying Zheng again, and said eagerly: "Your Majesty, please let Li Xin lead the troops to fight, and the general will definitely live up to your Majesty's expectations!"

Ying Zheng looked at Wang Ben and Li Xin with deep eyes, but did not immediately respond to their request. Instead, he waved his hand and brushed past the matter and said, "Let's discuss the matter of attacking Chu and Wei. I'm running out of widows. You should step back first." .”

After Ying Zheng finished speaking, Wang Jian stood up and left with his hands in his hands. Wang Ben smiled apologetically at Ying Zheng, and hurriedly chased him out.

Li Xin looked back and forth between Wang Jian and King Qin who had already left, he seemed a little hesitant, but finally kowtowed again: "Please trust the general, Li Xin will surely lead an army of 20 to capture Shouchun."

Ying Zheng said a flat "Yes", and Li Xin immediately showed a smile on his face, and left briskly.

The generals who were about to participate in the battle to destroy Yan came out of the big study one after another, Yao Jia suddenly said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, South Korea is already dead, even if Han An has the heart to restore it, he doesn't have the ability, and I, Da Qin, will never give in to him. "

Yingzheng's eyes were tired, and he said with a little downcast: "I thought the country would be peaceful and the people safe, but I didn't expect that there was a hungry wolf hiding beside me."

Meng Wu is a bold man, he didn't think too much, he opened his mouth and said in a loud voice: "Where did the king do something wrong, isn't it just that the people who were wiped out have a wicked heart? There are still [-] elites in the Luoyang camp, and they will go north immediately." If it doesn’t affect the war of destroying the country, it can also deter those villains who are plotting the world all day long, and if they stop fighting, it will naturally restore the stability of the Central Plains!”

Ying Teng, guarding Neishi County, said: "Longxi camp also has [-] flying cavalry, and Guanzhong camp has [-] guards and millions of old Qin people. There is no lack of soldiers if there is nothing. The king does not need to worry about General Wang Jian. In other words, the national strength of the Chu State is no way to compete with my Great Qin."

As soon as the two spoke, Dunwei, who had been in charge of the affairs of the Northland for many years, said thoughtfully: "I think that if the king wants to send someone to fight, it would be a good idea to let General Meng Tian go south. Don't be arrogant or impetuous, no matter how you deal with Han An who is undecided, or conquer Wei in one fell swoop, you can do it cheaply, so you don't need to worry about it."

Ying Zheng frowned and thought deeply, but shook his head after a long time, regretting: "Meng Tian is indeed a good candidate, but the Xiongnu have been on the verge of moving all these years, constantly accumulating strength, and expanding their land. Since the Great Qin completely wiped out Yan and Zhao, they have completely become with Great Qin." Neighbor. Great Qin may have a fierce battle with the Xiongnu in recent years. Meng Tian is the most familiar with the affairs of the Northland. He guards the gates of Jiuyuan and Yunzhong so that the widows can feel at ease. After all, the war of destroying the country is our internal affairs in China, and we can take it easy In short, outside the Yanmen Pass is the place where the Xiongnu and beasts did evil. They burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of crimes. I will never allow them to go south to invade our rivers and mountains! Anyone can go, but Meng Tian can’t move without authorization—place him in the bitter cold north Hey, it's the widow who let him down and wasted all his talents, but no matter what, Meng Tian must not be allowed to leave Jiuyuan."

At this point, no matter who the ministers present were, they couldn't help but fell silent.

The coach Wang Jian, who has been presiding over the war of destroying the country, is not optimistic about fighting against Wei and Chu at the same time, and obviously does not intend to fight; while the king Ying Zheng is obviously angered by these two countries, and wants to attack them together, let Wei and Chu know Anyway, what is needed is a general - Meng Wu is indeed a veteran general, but even he himself knows that he is not suitable to be a general, Meng Tian is available, but because the Xiongnu can't move an inch.

Who will be the general of these two armies and earn back Qin's face?

Ying Zheng looked at the ministers who fell silent, and suddenly said, "Actually, if Wang Ben is willing to lead an army to attack Wei, it's not a bad idea."

Meng Wu watched Wang Ben grow up, and when he heard Ying Zheng's words, he was afraid that he would only dispatch 5 people to Wang Ben's subordinates. He jumped up in fright, waved his hands and said in a hurry: "My lord! Don't believe Wang Ben's words. An army of [-] troops will not be able to attack Daliang City no matter what. If that's the case, Your Majesty must not listen to his nonsense."

Ying Zheng laughed when he heard the words, and said in a gentle tone: "You don't have to worry about the soldiers and horses. Li Xin only needs 20 soldiers and horses. My Great Qin elite has at least 80 troops. Since he doesn't need them, give Wang Ben some more." It doesn't matter—it's just that General Wang Jian doesn't seem to like Wang Ben at all? Wang Ben is his own son, and he has made a lot of military achievements over the years."

After listening to Ying Zheng's words, Meng Wu immediately understood that King Qin really wanted to use Wang Ben, and hurriedly said all of Wang Ben's good words: "Hey, my lord, I am not bragging for Wang Ben. He often made strange moves and knew tactics very well. Although he occasionally made some small mistakes when he was young, but those were irrelevant. Wang Ben's fighting methods are very similar to those of Lord Wu An, and he is a general."

Meng Wu said good things for Wang Ben, naturally there were objections, Wei Liao shook his head, and said with doubts: "Your Majesty, Li Xin has made great achievements many times, and there are few mistakes. Let him lead the troops to fight against the Chu Kingdom, I have nothing to say." It is true, but Wang Ben keeps winning big and making small mistakes, and he has never had the experience of commanding troops alone, nor has he heard that he has the ability to plan on the battlefield. I think that just because Wang Ben is the son of General Wang Jian, he is optimistic about him , it would be too rash—then Zhao Kuo is still Ma Fujun’s own son, so he can only talk on paper.”

Wei Liao himself is a well-known military strategist, and he personally wrote "Wei Liao Zi". Although Wei Liao has no ability to command troops, he has always had a good eye for planning and layout, and he raised objections. Meng Wu blushed for a while, but unfortunately he was not good at words, he just couldn't think of any more suitable reason to refute.

Ying Zheng waved his hand with a smile, stopped the dispute between Meng Wu and Wei Liao, and said calmly: "Guo Wei is the same as General Wang Jian, because Wang Ben is the biological son of the general, and he is too harsh on him. The military achievements made by Wang Ben The widow has checked it out, and it is enough to become the commander-in-chief of an army. Before his reputation was not obvious, he was suppressed by the general. Now it is better to give him a chance. Anyway, there are a lot of soldiers left, and it is enough to attack the main beam."

At this point, anyone can understand Yingzheng's meaning - the king has made up his mind to let Wang Ben be the commander-in-chief to lead the army to attack the State of Wei. Still have to insist.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Meng Wu cheerfully opened his mouth to settle the matter for Ying Zheng, lest Ying Zheng change his mind.

If Wang Ben doesn't get the opportunity to be the coach now, he may not be able to accumulate such great military achievements after the war of annihilating the country is over in the future. Moreover, if there is a good thing, it is natural that the son of an old friend will come first.

Ying Zheng nodded with a smile, then put his palms on his knees, and said in a low voice: "General Mengwu, Li Xin is younger than Wang Ben. I am afraid that he will be unstable, so you will be the deputy general to assist him."

As he said that, Ying Zheng pinched the bridge of his nose, and said again: "Okay, let's all back down, I can't hold on anymore, I have to lie down."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I'm waiting to disturb Your Majesty." Li Si agreed, and pulled Wei Liao out who still had a disapproving expression. At the same time, he didn't forget to wink at the other civil servants working in the Guowei's Mansion, and led them out of the big study together. .

As soon as he left the house, Li Si said in a low voice: "Your Majesty has become more and more calm these past few years. Have you seen what happened to your Majesty? Since Wang Ben's behavior is similar to that of Lord Wu An, why not trust him once? Only Daliang is left in the Wei Kingdom. Once the capital is established, even if it cannot be attacked for a while, it will not cause too many casualties to our army. Whether it succeeds or not, let him try his best."

Wei Liao frowned and said, "How can leading an army to fight a war be compared with a country's internal affairs? If Wang Ben can't take Daliang City, the morale of Li Xin's army going to attack Chu will also be affected. This is not a trivial matter."

Ma Xing, who was silent from the beginning to the end, suddenly said at this time: "Guo Wei, you worry too much. Generals go to the battlefield not only to fight your literati's things, but also to see how to respond quickly. I think Wang Ben is terrible. One use."

Li Si smiled at Wei Liao, Wei Liao snorted, and said in a low voice: "Well, I will wait for his good news."

After finishing speaking, the three of them looked at each other and smiled, and left Xianyang Palace together.

Seeing that everyone was gone, Meng Wu bowed his hands to Ying Zheng, and said loudly: "The final general will help the king protect Li Xin and prevent him from accidents! The king must believe in Wang Ben's ability to be a general."

"Thanks for your hard work, General. No one knows how Wang Ben is." Ying Zheng nodded with a smile, got up with the big case in hand, and walked out of the big study with Meng Wu.

The king of four horses brought Yingzheng into Fusu's courtyard in a "hustle and bustle". He waved his hand to prevent the palace people from making any noise, and he pushed the door lightly and walked into the room.

In an instant, Fusu grasped the long sword beside him and sat up, taking a defensive posture. The tip of the sword pointed directly at the door, and would stab out at any time, but it was clear at a glance that the person standing by the couch was Ying Zheng, so he hurriedly dropped the long sword, He whispered: "Father."

Yingzheng bent down and picked up the long sword from the ground, inserted it into the scabbard around Fusu's waist, patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and said in a low voice, "Okay! It's not a small gain after going out to practice this time, You might be a little defensive."

Hu Hai lay on Fusu's chest all the time, and he woke up naturally when Fusu moved. Hu Hai rubbed his swollen eyes, and when he looked up, he saw Ying Zheng standing by the couch.

A smile spread across his face in an instant, he jumped over Fusu's long legs, threw himself into Ying Zheng's arms, hugged Ying Zheng's waist, and hurriedly said, "Daddy, Daddy, I was wrong!" I will never touch the important things in the big study in the future. If I want to go out, I will tell you. I will not sneak out... Also, I will not listen to people talking nonsense, thinking that you don’t want me, pretending to be sick scare you."

Ying Zheng was indeed a little tired at first, but when the youngest son nestled in his arms and acted like a baby with him in a soft and clear voice, Ying Zheng's fatigue disappeared instantly.

He rubbed Hu Hai's head a few times, and said deliberately: "Oh? Pretending to be sick? It seems that the widow was worried about you for nothing last night."

"No, Dad, I was really sick last night." Hu Hai shook his head hurriedly, his big black and white eyes were full of anxiety, and he hurriedly said, "I just wanted to pretend to be sick. Um, um, this is called... By the way, it's called trickery! I know Dad loves me, so I dare to do this!"

As Hu Hai spoke, he put his face into Ying Zheng's arms and rubbed it against him. Ying Zheng smiled when he heard the words, and hugged him up. Seeing his ruddy face, he sighed helplessly, and slapped Hu Hai's ass hard.

Suddenly, he frowned, touched Hu Hai carefully from head to toe, and then looked at Fu Su and asked, "When the spring began, Hu Hai was still covered in flesh, why is he now a skinny one?" bone?"

Hu Hai turned his head and gave Fusu a look, preventing him from telling about his hungry stomach. Immediately, Hu Hai broke free from Ying Zheng's embrace, tried to straighten out his thin chest, and slapped his chest until it made a "puffing" sound. He raised his chin proudly and said: "Father, I have grown a lot taller. I used to gain weight, but now I have grown taller."

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng compared Hu Hai with himself, and his frowning brows melted into a smile.

He pinched Hu Hai's meatless face and shook it, and then said: "You can't forget to grow meat even if you grow taller. I will give you an extra dish today, eat up all the meat in it!"

"Well, I must eat hard, so I can grow meat for my father! How happy I am for my father!" Hu Hai nodded vigorously, as if he had accepted some difficult task.

But Fusu frowned tightly - Hu Hai couldn't eat the large piece of roasted meat, it would make him roll on the floor with his stomach in pain.

He glanced at Hu Hai, but just happened to see Hu Hai turning his back to him with begging eyes, Fu Su's heart softened, he pursed his lips and swallowed what he was about to say, looking at Hu Hai with an extremely helpless expression.

"Okay, I'm still messing around with the widow. Do you still want to eat meat? You have to drink soup and medicine these days, and you can't eat fat, sweet and thick flavors. Honestly, the widow will watch you drink porridge together. Eat meat." Ying Zheng grabbed Hu Hai and pressed him into the bed, touched his forehead worriedly, and seeing that the temperature had indeed dropped, he finally showed a relieved look, and said in a low voice, "The widow will return to the palace and squint for a while. Fu Su, Take good care of Hu Hai. The widow will come back after noon."

After explaining his words, Ying Zheng left in a hurry.

Seeing his father leaving, Hu Hai bit his lips and smiled at Fusu, and said in a low voice, "Brother, thank you for helping me hide it, I can't worry Dad anymore—this must be my last I lied to Dad once."

Fusu rubbed Hu Hai's curly hair, hugged him into his arms and lay down again, sighed softly: "You are so sensible once in a while, why people get angry with you. Go to sleep, the father said to come over at noon, I must want to watch you eat, and I'm afraid that you will eat indiscriminately, so don't reveal yourself."

Hu Hai nodded and said, "Well, brother, I understand."

After finishing speaking, he leaned on Fusu's shoulder and arched his head, then pulled Fusu's outer robe and said: "The embroidery is too hard, it's too tight."

Fusu followed the good example, took off his outer robe, lay down next to Hu Hai, pressed his little head into his arms, and whispered into Hu Hai's ear, "I'm not going to be sick anymore, go to bed quickly."

Hu Hai said "hmm", closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time, then suddenly said: "Before when I was sick, my father would watch over me until dawn, but this time he is not here in the morning, did he cause trouble for Zhao Gao?"

Fusu opened his eyes suddenly, he didn't expect Hu Hai to have such a keen sense of smell on this matter.

Fu Su covered Hu Hai's mouth, and said in a low voice, "Don't talk nonsense about this matter to your father. What makes him unhappy is not that Zhao Gao asked you to use bitter tricks, but that there may be other things involved in it."

Hu Hai nodded half-understood, and leaned further into Fusu's arms: "Brother, I won't casually mention this to Father."

He smiled contentedly, and said proudly: "I'm not afraid of the sky falling, I have a dad and a big brother!"
