Chapter 549 Such important information! Why didn’t Your Majesty tell me!
The second emperor's anger seemed to have no reason and no signs. Liu Bang, who was always trying to figure out his intentions, did not find any signs.
But thinking about it afterwards, it is reasonable and expected.
From the moment the second emperor drew his sword and killed himself to the time when the military order was fully issued, the generals were not 100% sure of what the second emperor wanted. But what the second emperor wanted them to do couldn't be more obvious.
But now that things are happening, the generals have no time to think about what is and is not. They just hope that Your Majesty will calm down and discuss the matter as it is, without causing any harm to Chi Yu.
"promise!"
They looked at each other for a few moments and suddenly shouted in unison.
There was also Han Xin's voice, and Liu Bang, who was standing with the surrendered general, bumped his arm and gave him a hint.
He knew in his heart that Liu Bang was trying to win over people, but Han Xin, who was indeed taken care of again and again, couldn't help but feel good about him. The first person with a good impression of the generals of the Qin Empire changed from Li Xin to Liu Bang.
Without Liu Bang, he would not be able to keep up with the generals' response, which sounds like nothing, but is actually very embarrassing.
Ying Chengyu put his hands on the big case, leaned forward, and his shoulders slumped slightly.
"I heard a story about killing a chicken to scare the monkeys.
"It's about a monkey charmer who wanted the monkey to perform according to instructions, but the monkey kept disobeying. The man bought a chicken in front of the monkey and tamed the chicken like a monkey. When the chicken didn't obey, he killed the chicken.
, from then on all the monkeys were disobedient.
"Tu Sui is not a chicken, and you are not monkeys.
"If I were such a person, I would not have issued a death order to the supervisors in advance, asking them to stop the soldiers before they violated discipline. If we kill people according to the "Qin Law", no one can say that I am not wrong. Isn't this power enough?
Are you standing still? Why should I stick a sword here and walk at least two thousand steps!"
The second emperor tore open his clothes and pointed at the hideous scar on his stomach that had healed and no longer bleed. His anger was palpable.
The generals were silent.
Everything the second emperor said was true. They had nothing to say. The second emperor had already proven with his actions what kind of person he was.
Most of the generals, including Meng Tian and Li Xin, were secretly happy that Tu Sui was punished.
As generals, no one likes to break the rules. Everyone abides by military orders. Tu Sui took advantage of loopholes to gain more military exploits, which has long made the generals dissatisfied.
If it weren't for the fact that these many military exploits were too little, and the generals felt that they were petty and unworthy of mentioning them, it would not have been Ying Chengyu's turn to raise the matter.
Ren Xiao, who had a good relationship with Tu Sui, originally felt aggrieved for his brother, thinking that this trivial matter would not be dealt with so seriously. Your Majesty just killed him to serve as a warning to others, because his brother was so unlucky.
When he saw the scar left by the King of Qin's sword, Ren Xiao knew that he was wrong, how wrong he was. Even the last soldier was not willing to use it to establish his authority. How could His Majesty, who cares so much about his soldiers, be willing to use a general to establish his authority?
Ren Xiao remembered the stern warnings given by the second emperor before the division of troops, and the words the second emperor had just said at first that he would only demote him to the first rank.
It's not that their Majesty didn't give him a chance, he gave it twice, but his brother never caught it once and kept taking chances. This made the second emperor furious.
Even so, Tu Sui was not demoted and dismissed from his post, and returned to Xianyang with Daliang, the 16th-class noble.
Although there will be no battles to fight in the future, at least you can be prosperous and wealthy, live a long life, and receive a salary that exceeds 99% of people in the world. Isn't this enough?
Pressing the big case with one hand, Ying Cheng was gasping for breath. The Yue girl brought a black crown robe and put it on him, fastened the buttons, and a black bird singing loudly appeared in front of the generals.
"As long as you do what I say and don't use your imagination, I won't cause trouble for you. Even if I grant you death, I will let you die clearly!"
The word "liberation" requires many characters to be read, but Qin Bing, who lives at the bottom, is full of enthusiasm and dreams.
Guided by the two rails of strict military law control and the worship of the emperor's personality, we will not derail or take detours.
But this won't work for generals.
The generals who are familiar with military literature and who stand at the top of the Qin Empire will not care about the word "liberation".
Military law cannot control them, because military law is set by them.
They were also vested interests of the Great Qin Empire and the biggest beneficiaries of the war. What they wanted was to be granted the title of Marquis and promoted to a noble rank. The Second Emperor, who was unattainable in the eyes of the common people, was also high to them, but not as high.
It's so tall that it's not difficult to meet him.
Neither of the two rails that can restrain arrogant soldiers can restrain strong men.
The only one who could suppress the powerful generals was the Second Emperor Ying Chengyu who suppressed them forcefully, which was unreasonable.
[When I am no longer on the throne, will Qin III be able to suppress these people? Will he want to suppress these people...]
Ying Chengyu shook his head and stopped thinking about this problem.
If he thought about this problem carefully, he was afraid that he would not be able to do anything.
He ordered his soldiers to fetch a map of the Central Plains and spread it on the big case, beckoning all the generals to come forward.
He pointed at the four areas marked on the map: Zhao, Zhang, Chu, Chu, and Qi.
"There are still four countries that are waiting to be liberated. We don't have time to fight them one by one. We have to divide our troops into three groups."
The two emperors named "Chu" and "Zhang Chu" respectively, and explained:
"These two countries are at war. When they decide the winner and the two countries become one, all they need is a group of soldiers. I will go there myself."
He glanced at the faces of the generals and asked with a smile:
"Does anyone want to follow me to fight against Chu?"
Liu Bang spoke immediately.
"Bang is willing to follow!"
General Butcher, who ran with his eldest brother, followed closely behind.
"Fan Kuai is willing to go."
Ying Chengqiao agreed.
After the two of them finished speaking, the scene fell into silence for a moment.
Meng Tian looked at Li Xin, and Ren Xiao looked at Zhao Tuo, looking searchingly at each other, both feeling reluctant.
If you want to gain military merit, you must fight a war. If you can't even win a battle, you can't win a shitty military exploit?
Of the three battlefields, the Zhao and Qi battlefields can be fought directly upon arrival. Only the Chu and Zhang Chu chosen by the second emperor have to wait, which is obviously the worst choice. Maybe the Zhao and Qi battlefields have not started yet.
, you can come back to fight for merit when the time comes.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Moreover, the second emperor was the chief general, and he could only have one deputy position at most. This credit will naturally be reduced to a higher level. You can choose which one you want to pursue.
General willing to go?
Just like when choosing a fiefdom, Wang Bi, Meng Tian and other generals are challenging the border where chaos is common. How can they make achievements in a plump and peaceful territory? They haven't reached retirement age yet!
The four local Qin generals glanced at Liu Bang.
[Only scoundrels who have little fighting ability and only want to advance are willing to go.]
He glanced at Fan Kuai again and sighed secretly.
[Why did such a fierce general follow Liu Bang so hard?]
Han Xin was very confused.
He was thinking the same thing as Meng Tian and the other four. Chu was really the worst option. He really needed to make contributions.
But his feet were constantly stepped on by Liu Bang who was standing next to him, clearly asking him to accompany the second emperor.
He remembered Liu Bang's advice to go southeast and not north, as well as the care he had given him just now, and finally made a decision.
He crossed his fists and said in a deep voice:
"Han Xin is willing to go with your Majesty!"
But the second emperor, who was willing to accept Liu Bang and Fan Kuai, was unwilling and shook his head and said:
"You can't do it. You can go to Qi State. You were once a general of Qi State and are familiar with it. You can attack Qi State with twice the result with half the effort, okay?"
All the generals were a little surprised, thinking that they would just follow the order, but only the old general Lian Po was there.
After being a retainer in Chang'an Jun's Mansion for so many years, I have already figured out Ying Chengxuan's temperament.
At this moment, His Majesty must have already made up his mind. Asking for wishes is to see if they are inconsistent. It is impossible to change without great emotion.
"promise."
Han Xin obeyed the order and was satisfied.
Between Zhao and Qi, he prefers Qi. As Ying Chengyu said, he is familiar with the country. He fully knows the military strength and generals of Qi, and it is much easier to fight than Zhao, who is almost a complete stranger.
Liu Bang breathed a sigh of relief.
[It’s better if you’re not in Zhao country.]
He always remembered that the second emperor called him Liu Bang when he first came to Pei County.
"Seeing that you all look troubled and it is difficult to choose, then I will assign it to you. If you have any questions, please speak up."
Ying Cheng was stationed in the State of Zhao.
"Meng Tian, Li Xin, and Lian Po, you three each lead 20,000 people to Zhao. Is there any problem?"
Meng Tian and Li Xin responded happily.
Wang Jian of Qi State has always been fighting, and the relationship between the Meng family and the Wang family is very delicate. The former is the family of the best generals in the Qin Dynasty, and the latter is the most famous general in the Qin Dynasty. The relationship between the two families cannot be said to be bad, but it cannot be said to be good. It is best not to run into each other.
good.
Lian Po showed a hint of excitement and responded with emotion. He had been away from Zhao for a long time.
"Ren Xiao, Zhao Tuo, you two, together with Han Xin, also lead 20,000 troops each, is that right?"
Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo had no objections and were very satisfied.
Zhao State already has three generals and only has so many battles. It is definitely not as good as Qi State which only has one Han Xin.
"Go and choose your soldiers, and leave the rest to me."
The Second Emperor tapped his fingertips on the table.
"Tomorrow we divide our troops and go out for battle."
"Your Majesty, I have a question."
Meng Tian said seriously:
"In an attack on Chu, His Majesty will naturally be the commander-in-chief. In an attack on Zhao, what about an attack on Qi?"
The issue of commander-in-chief must be clarified, which involves the issue of division of labor.
"Since I didn't say anything, it's up to you to decide."
Ying Chengyu smiled playfully.
"Whoever can convince the other generals will be the commander-in-chief.
"If no one has this prestige, then we can lead the troops to fight in different directions. There will be no deputy generals, but only the chief generals. What do you think?"
The eyes of all the generals are shining brightly. Each one relies on his own ability and nothing can be better!
The next day, the second day of April.
The second emperor led Fan Kuai and Liu Bang, commanding an army of one hundred thousand, and marched towards Chu.
Han Xin, Ren Xiao, and Zhao Tuo each led 20,000 troops and marched towards Qi.
Meng Tian, Lian Po, and Li Xin each led 20,000 troops and marched towards Zhao.
The remaining 40,000 troops were left in Wei. They were all old Qin soldiers and did not surrender. They were led by Cao Shen and Xia Houying to clean up the remaining forces of Wei.
Whether the two of them can become generals depends on this battle.
In order to blitz the Wei State, Ying Chengyu divided his troops into nine routes and led directly to Daliang. Along the way, all the generals were looking for Gaoda County. In the vast land of Wei, there were still many villages that did not know the Qin army was coming, and the land of Wei became the land of Qin.
It is precisely because of the location of these villages that the Qi army was able to enter the Wei territory without alarming the Qin army.
As soon as the news came out, everyone in the world was shocked.
Everyone knows that the Qin State is strong, but it took less than a month to conquer the Wei State. Isn't it a little too strong?
Xianyang Palace, Yizheng Hall.
The First Emperor, who returned to his hometown and took over the Qin Dynasty, looked at the recent battle reports with great relief.
"color!
"This dandy finally woke up and killed them all. That's how it should be! To be kind to other countries is to be cruel to Qin!"
Prince Ying Fusu, who had returned from the dead, sat down with him.
In just two years, the eldest son of Qin State has grown faster than in the past ten years.
The Confucian hope who was uneasy even when discussing Taoism with the First Emperor two years ago is now casual and natural in front of his father, talking and laughing freely.
Although he is not as domineering as Nai's father, he still has a sense of majesty, and he is not at all inferior when looking at him.
"If my father had cleaned up everything for the first time, he wouldn't have been as busy as my uncle."
"ignorance!"
The First Emperor snorted coldly.
"Ten years ago, the six countries had food and people. If they were united, Qin, the country that could attack us, would not be able to leave Hangu! Bai Qi killed hundreds of thousands of surrendered soldiers, and while the world was in shock, he also wanted to join the army to keep warm.
"Your eldest father has spent his whole life to eliminate the impact of the Changping War and treat people with kindness. If I kill all the nobles and fight to the death among the six countries, even if Qin can win, I will not be able to secure the world..."
Ying Fusu, who was not a prince, listened with a smile and did not refute, looking like he was being taught.
Halfway through Ying Zheng's harsh tone of voice, he suddenly realized something was wrong. This was not two years ago. How could the eldest son not understand such a simple thing?
He pointed at his eldest son, his eyes finally showed the light of a loving father, and he smiled and cursed:
"After two years of absence, I learned how to flatter Han Zi!"
Ying Fusu looked like he had been seen through and smiled calmly.
"My father is sitting in the center, and my uncle is out fighting. The prosperous times are approaching, just around the corner."
Pour a cup of Dahongpao, which tastes bitter but has a sweet aftertaste. After Ying Zheng sipped it, he sipped it twice, lowered his head and said longingly:
"Your uncle's ability to govern the world is a hundred times greater than his ability to conquer the world. It's not yet time for your uncle to show off his talents. In one year, the world will be unified. Just wait and see!"
Ying Fusu held a different opinion.
"If not a year, half a year will do."
Ying Zheng said oh.
"If you dare to say that, treat it as your uncle who has given you the full details and discussed it with your father. Regardless of other countries for the time being, Zhao's stubborn resistance will not be defeated in a few months. Don't think that Zhao and Wei came out of Jin at the same time, and treat Zhao as the same
It is a country that can be conquered in one month. Its people are fierce and have a deep hatred for Qin. It is easy to win, but it is very difficult to conquer like your uncle."
Ying Fusu poured tea for his father.
"Li Mu is back."
The First Emperor suddenly realized that he had forgotten this name since he had not heard it for a long time.
"This guy never wanted Li Mu to show up, so he's waiting here! It's so... wonderful!"
Li Mu, Zhao Wuanjun, the hero of Zhao.
"Li Mu died, and Zhao fell."
This prophecy spread throughout the Wei Kingdom, and Li Mu was extremely loved in the Wei Kingdom and was the savior.
It was not a loss to the people or the country. He did not die on the battlefield, but died at the hands of his own people. Li Mu, who had always died unjustly in the eyes of the people of Zhao, suddenly appeared. Even the First Emperor could not imagine how much appeal he would have.
Zhang River, the river at the junction of Zhao and Wei.
Meng Tian, Li Xin, and Lian Po crossed the Zhang River.
As soon as they set foot on Zhaotu, they saw a Qin army in black armor arrayed here. The leader was wearing general armor without a helmet, as if he had been waiting for a long time.
The first time he saw this general, Li Xin, who had been full of ambitions all the way, smiled brightly, hurriedly ran forward to greet him, and then said with some bitterness:
"Uncle, are you coming to attack Zhao too?"
