My brother is the most handsome man in the Qin Dynasty

"Han Xin?"

A man wearing a general's armor suddenly opened the tent curtain and asked with a positive expression.

"It's down."

Han Xin slowly stood up from his seat, and Yuan Ting responded with a fierce attitude, ready to take action.

Even though he acted like he didn't change his face despite the collapse of the mountain, in fact, the beat of the drum in his heart was stronger than the beat of the drum.

Just now, he said some big words that were not big words in front of the second emperor, and despised the generals of Qin Dynasty.

As soon as I returned to the tent and sat down, a cup of tea had not yet cooled down when a general came to the door. No matter what I thought, he came with bad intentions.

He regretted it a little.

The reason why Qi is so proud is that it was badly defeated by Wang Jian and was in urgent need of a strong general to regroup and save him from danger.

He did not vote for Zhang Chu or Chu, but only for Qi.

The most important point is that Qi State was in dire need of a magic needle to anchor the East China Sea, and he was just waiting for a price to sell it.

This is not the case with Qin. Qin has no shortage of generals.

After contacting the second emperor and briefly inspecting the military camp.

Han Xin discovered that most people in the Qin State did not regard the revolt of the Six Kingdoms as a crisis, but as an opportunity.

It was the emperor, not the state of Qin, who gave him the highest affirmation. The State of Qin does not need him, and General Qin will not look up to him like General Qi, and will most likely beat him.

"Brother, you are so brave!"

The visitor was not as Han Xin expected.

As soon as he heard that Han Xin identified himself, he immediately gave a thumbs up, with a look of admiration on his face, he slapped his chest hard and said:

"My name is Liu Bang. I learned that your Majesty has recruited an unprecedented general, so I came here to meet you. If you don't give up, you and I will be brothers in the future!"

Han Xin couldn't think straight for a while.

After Li Xin lost, he treated him well, didn't hold grudges, and taught him etiquette.

Liu Bang, a general he had never met before, even boasted that he wanted to become a brother with him, a surrendered general.

[The teacher said that General Qin was arrogant and domineering, his eyes were higher than his head, and he felt very trustworthy...]

General Han blinked his eyes twice and pretended when he should. He clasped his fists and shook his hands twice, and said affectionately to Liu Bang, who looked obviously older than him:

"Brother Bang!"

Even if Liu Bang looks younger than him, he will still call him brother. You can't be ignorant when you are new here. If someone is willing to take you with you, this is kindness.

He is not the big brother who rides a black tiger to cultivate immortality and Qi. When dealing with people in the human world, he cannot be too aloof.

"Brother Xin!"

Liu Bang's tears came as soon as he said it, and he hugged Han Xin's hands, as if he had met his long-lost brother, which provided full emotional value.

"To be honest, brother Xin, brother Xin and I hit it off right away. We felt like we were connected by blood when we first met! From now on, you are my brother Liu Bang! Whoever wants to trouble you is looking for trouble with me, Liu Bang!"

Han Xin: "..."

He was fortunate to have seen the Second Emperor's enthusiasm in advance. Although he was still not used to it mentally, his body was not stiff at all.

[Is this really a general? More like those busybodies in the village. ]

Through active observation, Han Xin knew that the Qin army was strictly disciplined, but Liu Bang's behavior still made him mutter. He had never seen such a general.

Every general's daily performance is a continuation of his fighting style, and vice versa. This is the use of mind attack.

Han Xin could not imagine how a general like Liu Bang, who was familiar with him, could go to the battlefield to make friends with the enemy's general and win over him?

A formulaic smile appeared on his face and he said:

"Brother is really a sweetheart."

Liu Bang laughed, much more naturally than Han Xin.

Meng Tian, ​​Li Xin, Tu Sui, Ren Xiao and other generals were all Qin generals who were born in Qin and grew up in Qin, but he was a foreigner. Even though his name was unknown, he was promoted to general after participating in the war with the Huns.

He wanted to gain a foothold in the Qin State, but he did not want to succumb to Meng Tian's group of Qin generals. Liu Bang also has principles. Although he licks, he only licks one person.

In order to match the "Song of the Great Wind" presented by His Majesty, he wanted to unite all external forces to compete with the local generals of Qin.

The Han Empire was gone, but the founding heroes of the Han Dynasty still gathered around Liu Bang and grew into a major faction independent of the local military generals of Qin.

Their power seems to be far inferior to that of the local military generals. There is only one of the four generals, and only Han Xin is ranked at the bottom.

But in fact, the long-sleeved and good-dancing Liu Bang had a harmonious relationship with the civil servants. This faction was nicknamed the Han faction by the second emperor privately for some unknown reason, and its influence was not much different.

Knowing that Han Xin did not trust him and was just doing business, Liu Bang hugged Han Xin, hugged each other, and whispered in Han Xin's ear:

"Brother Yu gave Brother Believing a greeting gift to show his sincerity. He must go southeast, not north."

The first year of the Second Emperor, April 1st.

Outside Daliang City, the second emperor summoned the generals to discuss matters.

Liu Bang was the first general to arrive, and Han Xin was the second. The two were the only generals who did not live in Daliang City.

Han Xin is self-aware, and the surrendered general has no say.

Liu Bang, the ruffian general, said that he should be closer to His Majesty so that he could listen to the holy words more easily.

Discussions began at Chen time. The two emperors asked questions and the generals answered questions about trivial matters after the war, Wei people's attitude towards Qin soldiers, etc. Regarding the people's livelihood, the two emperors did not ask any questions, and the generals only focused on fighting and not on civil affairs.

The second emperor, with Xunzi's disciples following him, implemented Huang Lao's policy and personally appointed county magistrates in every county, was not worried about this.

Near noon, the questioning came to an end, and the two emperors began to divide the work and reward them.

"Zhao Tuo."

The second emperor smiled at the youngest general.

"The minister is here."

The young general didn't know what was going on, so he responded seriously.

"For meritorious service in this battle, I was promoted to the rank of fourteenth rank. I received three hundred gold, a pair of walls, and ten horses."

"No! Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Tuo was overjoyed and bowed down.

Many of the generals showed joy, and they were happiest when sharing the work. Isn't that what fighting is all about?

"You don't need to thank me. You deserve this. You must do this from now on. Great Qin will not treat everyone badly."

Ying Chengyu said seriously and called everyone by name.

Ren Xiaojue was promoted to the first rank, and he was promoted to the fifteenth rank of Jue Shao. He received two hundred gold, a jade ring, and four fine horses.

Meng Tian remembers that if his merits are not improved, he will not be rewarded.

Li Xin will not be rewarded if his merits are not promoted.

The Qin army has strict standards for military merit. The further you go, the more military merit you need. In this battle against Wei, Meng Tian and Li Xin's military exploits were similar to those of Zhao Tuo and Ren Xiao.

However, Meng Tian was the chief concubine of the 18th rank, and Li Xin was the Marquis of Guannei, the 19th rank. This level of military merit could not be promoted at all. It was far from enough.

As for the rewards, this is an unspoken rule of the Qin State that is not written in the "Qin Code". If the military merit is not enough, no promotion will be given. The reason for this is to be born in sorrow and die in peace. .

If the title is increased and rewarded, it is affirmation of the king. If the title is not upgraded and the reward is not given, it paralyzes the will.

Liu Bangjue was promoted to the seventh rank, and to the eighth rank, he was exempted from tax for one year in Xupei County.

Fan Kuai was promoted to the eighth rank, and the fifth rank was the ninth rank. He received seven hundred gold and fifty hectares of fertile land.

These two people were listed as generals based on the performance of the Xiongnu in the First World War. However, the Xiongnu War was not recognized by the Qin State. They had the name of generals but only had the title of first-class Duke.

This war proved that although the title and the rank of general still did not match, at least they were not so shabby. Liu Bang looked at Fan Kuai who couldn't help but grin. He didn't feel jealous that his title was inferior to his younger brother.

Because he knew that Fan Kuai's military merits were obtained in exchange for his life. Only one of the generals present got the merit of being the first to get there, and he got it seven times! Fan Kuai had the greatest military exploits in the war to liberate Wei.

Lian Po was promoted to the sixth level, and to the seventh level, he was awarded a hundred catties of meat per month.

The veteran was promoted from a retainer of Chang'an Jun's Mansion to a state captain. He was in the same situation as Liu Bang and Fan Kuai, and had not made any achievements. Although he was famous in the past, he had to start from the first rank when he entered the Qin Kingdom's title.

In this battle, the veteran was quite satisfactory, far less conspicuous than Fan Kuai's seven first attempts.

"Tu Sui."

The second emperor's voice was a little cold.

"Chen is here!"

Being placed at the last position, Tu Sui couldn't wait and responded excitedly, but did not hear the slight change in the second emperor's tone.

"The rank will be reduced to one rank, and it will be replaced by the rank of fourteenth rank. No reward will be given."

"……what?"

Tu Sui was at a loss and confused. His military prowess was not as good as that of Fan Kuai, but how could he be compared with Zhao Tuo and Ren Xiao? Why was he not promoted and punished?

"You killed too many people and you didn't give them a chance to surrender."

The second emperor looked into Tu Sui's eyes.

This general who was more murderous than Fan Kuai, the butcher general, frowned.

"Your Majesty, Sui Jun is acting in accordance with military orders."

Tu Sui had killed many people along the way, but he had never killed a single soldier or civilian. But when the city was breached, other generals suspended their attacks and asked all the messengers to shout for a long time, "Those who surrender will not be killed."

General Tu Sui, no, he kept attacking and only shouted once. This did not violate the military order issued by the second emperor.

The second emperor narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the generals with a smile.

"What do you think?"

The generals remained silent, and even Liu Bang lowered his head and did not speak. Not speaking was a sign of opposition.

Military merit is military merit. We must strictly follow the system and cannot rely on the emperor's wishes. This matter is closely related to every general and is related to his vital interests.

Today, the second emperor refused to give military merit to Tu Sui because he killed too many people. In the future, he will use other reasons to deny military merit to the generals. This cannot be ignored.

Even if they have some complaints about Tu Sui's ugly appearance, are you the only one who will take advantage of this?

Qin's military achievements were largely due to the number of enemies killed.

"I understand."

Ying Chengqiao chuckled.

"It's not my fault, I made a mistake, Tu Sui."

Tu Sui was no longer excited. Although he knew that he was right, his heart still pounded and he could only bite the bullet and said:

"The minister is here."

The second emperor said calmly:

"Promoted to the first level, to the sixteenth level, no reward."

The title of nobility is promoted by military merit. It is fixed and cannot be changed. But the reward is the emperor's own wish and there are no regulations.

"……promise."

Tu Sui responded.

Although he had received the military merit he deserved, there was no trace of joy in his heart. He suddenly had the urge to return his military merit and demote himself to the first rank.

When a general is promoted, military merit must be strictly followed, while when a general is demoted, it mostly depends on the emperor's wishes.

If he ascends today, will he descend tomorrow because his left foot goes first?

The somewhat stiff expressions on the generals' faces became natural. They didn't ask for much, they just rewarded them based on their merits.

Ying Chengyu walked up to Tu Sui, narrowed his eyes and smiled:

"Don't worry, I won't touch your title. I'm not that mean."

The murderous general, whose thoughts were seen through, shook his head hastily.

"I dare not!"

"According to the "Qin Law", I am no exception. The emperor breaks the law and the common people are equally guilty!"

Ying Chengyu's smile faded and his voice turned cold.

"The "Qin Code" stipulates that military merit cannot be withheld, but it does not ask you to kill Sui by name and fight in the war?"

Tu Sui's face turned pale and he opened his mouth to argue but didn't say anything yet.

The second emperor didn't give him a chance, pointed at the curtain, cold light shot out from his narrowed eyes, and said:

"Pack up your belongings and go back to Xianyang."

The Wei Kingdom had just been liberated, and there were still many battles to be fought. It was the time to employ people. He was transferred back to Xianyang at this time, which was undoubtedly abandoned by the second emperor.

The Six Kingdoms Rebellion is a once-in-a-lifetime war. This time, we will kill all the nobles and draw fuel from the bottom of the cauldron. There will be no recurrence. If a general stays away from this major battle, how can there be such a big battle in the future? It will be difficult to get promoted again.

Tu Sui regretted it too much and immediately begged:

"Your Majesty, Tu Sui has voluntarily demoted his rank! Demoted to two ranks!"

There are many big battles to come, and the achievements gained are enough to make up for what was lost today.

The second emperor spoke sharply.

"roll!"

Tu Sui stayed where he was, slowly walking out under the eyes of the second emperor with undisguised disgust, like a dying old man.

He was walking very slowly. He hoped that someone among the generals could speak for him, and that the Second Emperor could stop him.

He looked at Ren Xiao, with whom he had the best relationship, for help. The mature and steady Ren Xiao shook his head slightly, indicating that he could not be saved.

This general, who was second only to Lian Po in age, was firstly afraid that he would be involved, and secondly, the second emperor had given great military exploits. What he did at this moment was completely in line with the rules. It was indeed Tu Sui who got into the camp first.

Tu Sui was desperate.

Standing at the door of the big tent, holding on to the curtain, his feet seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.

"If I were you, I would beg for bones."

The second emperor's voice that he had been waiting for finally came, but it was not the language Tu Sui wanted.

"As long as I reign, I will not use you as a general, and I will also ask the third generation of Qin not to use you as a general. Do you want to wait for the fourth generation of Qin?"

The curtains trembled like the wings of mosquitoes. Tu Sui turned around and faced the second emperor who seemed to disdain to look at him with a straight face. He said regretfully:

"The guilty minister does not want to beg for bones. He will not wait for four lifetimes. The guilty minister will only wait for His Majesty. When Your Majesty calms down a little, he will give the guilty minister a chance."

After saying this, the general who killed the most people in the battle to liberate Wei waited for a moment, then walked out of the tent with a dejected look on his face, and walked out of the ranks of generals on the expedition.

Tu Sui never fought a single battle in his life. He died in depression as a 16th-class knight.

You could hear a needle drop inside the tent, and there was silence.

General Han Xin looked at his nose, his nose and his heart, and breathed out very slowly. It was the first time he saw the second emperor like this, and he was a little frightened.

"I will not withhold your military achievements. I abide by the "Qin Law". This is your bottom line at any time and I respect it.

"But you must also respect me. I believe that each of you knows what I want to do. I don't want things like the massacre to happen again.

"You can exploit loopholes, but I can exploit loopholes better than you. Anyone who doesn't act according to my wishes will never be able to fight again!"
