My brother is the most handsome man in the Qin Dynasty

The second emperor's anger seemed to have no reason, and there were no signs. Liu Bang, who was always trying to figure out his intentions, didn't 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 the military order was fully issued, the generals were not 100% sure of what the second emperor wanted. But it couldn't be more obvious what the Second Emperor wanted them to do.

But now that things are happening, the generals have no intention of thinking 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 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 had been taken care of repeatedly, couldn't help but feel good about him. The first person with a favorable impression of the generals of the Qin Empire changed from Li Xin to Liu Bang.

Without Liu Bang, he would not have been able to keep up with the generals' response, which sounded like nothing, but was 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 someone kills 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 bled. 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 what kind of person he was with his actions.

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 abided by military orders, but Tu Sui took advantage of loopholes to gain more military exploits, which had 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 it, it wouldn't be Ying Chengyu's turn to bring it up.

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 kills one person to serve as a warning to others. His brothers are so unlucky.

When he saw the scar left by King Qin's sword, Ren Xiao knew that he was wrong, very wrong. Even the last soldier is not willing to use it to establish his authority. How can His Majesty, who loves his soldiers so much, want 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 removed 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 have a salary that exceeds 99% of people in the world. Isn't this enough?

Pressing the big case with one hand, Ying Chengyu huffed and puffed. The Yue girl took a black crown robe and put it on him, buttoned 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 brains, I won't cause trouble for you. Even if I give you death, I will let you die clearly!"

The word "liberation" requires many characters to be read, and 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 that won't work for the general.

The generals who are familiar with military literature and 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 are also vested interests of the Qin Empire and the biggest beneficiaries of the war. What they want is to break the soil and become a marquis, and to be promoted to a higher position. The Second Emperor, who was unattainable in the eyes of ordinary people, was tall to them, but not that high. It was 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, can Qin III suppress these people? Do you 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 regions 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 attack them one by one, so we 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 outcome, the two countries will 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 get military merit, you must fight a war. You can't even win a battle, but you can't win a shitty military merit?

Of the three battlefields, the Zhao Kingdom battlefield and the Qi Kingdom battlefield 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 Zhao Qi has finished the battlefield and hasn't started fighting here yet, so he can come back to fight for merit at that time.

Moreover, the second emperor was the chief general above, and he could only hold a deputy position at most. His merits would naturally be reduced by a large amount. Which general with ambitions could choose to be willing to go?

Just like when choosing a fiefdom, generals Wang Bi, Meng Tian and others are challenging the border that is prone to chaos. How can we make achievements in a lush 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 are bent on advancement 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, and the care he had given him just now, and finally made a decision.

He raised his fists and said in a deep voice:

"Han Xin is willing to go with your Majesty!"

But the second emperor, who had accepted 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, he had already figured out Ying Chengxuan's temperament.

At this moment, His Majesty must have made a decision in his heart. 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, which is much easier to fight than Zhao, who is almost a complete stranger.

Liu Bang breathed a sigh of relief.

[It’s fine 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 in the State of Qi has always been fighting, and the relationship between the Meng family and the Wang family is very delicate. The former belongs to the family of the most famous generals in the Qin Dynasty, and the latter belongs to the most famous generals in the Qin Dynasty. The relationship between the two families cannot be said to be bad, but it cannot be said to be good either. It would be best if they did not run into each other.

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 okay?"

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 will divide our troops and set off for the expedition."

"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, how 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 leader.

"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 generals. What do you think?"

The eyes of all the generals were shining brightly, and each one could do better depending on his ability!

The next day, the second day of April.

The second emperor led Fan Kuai, Liu Bang, and one hundred thousand troops to march 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 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. All the generals along the way were looking for Gaoda County. In the vast land of Wei, there are still many villages that do not know the Qin army is coming, and the land of Wei has become the land of Qin.

It is precisely because of these rural areas 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 come back 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 Gu Panjian is not at all inferior.

"If father had cleaned up everything for the first time, he wouldn't have been as busy as 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 fight, would not be able to get out of Hangu! Bai Qi killed hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the trenches. The world was shocked and at the same time he 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 benevolence. 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 had been taught.

Ying Zheng used a stern tone to lecture his son, but halfway through, 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 fight. 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.

"You dare to say that, treat it like your uncle has given you the full details, and talk to your father. Regardless of other countries for the time being, the stubborn resistance of Zhao 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 A country that can be conquered in one month. Its people are tough 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 after not hearing 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, Lord Wu'an of Zhao, hero of the State of Zhao.

"Li Mu dies, Zhao Kingdom dies."

This prophecy spread throughout the Wei State, and Li Mu was extremely loved in the Wei State 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 is 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, hurried forward to greet him, and then said with some bitterness:

"Uncle, are you coming to attack Zhao too?"

[Such important information! Why didn't your Majesty say anything? ]
