coming!
Zhao Tuo was terrified, knowing that the scene he feared most was about to appear.
Sure enough, as Qin Wangzheng asked, all the generals looked at Wang Jian.
After all, he is the most famous general in Qin State today. Who else can we ask if not him?
Wang Jian pondered for a long time, estimating the power of Chu in his mind, and finally said the number he needed: "To attack Chu, we must have 600,000 people."
Zhao Tuo saw that when Wang Jian said this number, Qin Wangzheng's eyebrows wrinkled, but he didn't say anything.
As expected, King Qin was worried.
Zhao Tuo secretly sighed in his heart, knowing that after Chang Ping Jun's advice just now, Qin Wangzheng had greatly reduced the difficulty of attacking Chu. He felt that fighting a divided Chu country would not require so many troops.
Of course, the most important thing is that the 600,000 troops will almost make the Qin army leave the country empty.
Even Bai Qi, the king of Wu'an at that time, had never commanded such a huge army. How could the Qin king's government be rest assured when such a large number was handed over to Wang Jian.
Qin Wangzheng turned his head and turned his attention to Li Xin.
"General Li, if you attack Chu, how many troops will you need?"
When Zhao Tuo heard this, he quickly glanced at Li Xin, hoping that he would be calm.
However, this time, Li Xin didn't look at him at all.
Ever since Li Xin's plan to defeat Qi was rejected by everyone, he had held a breath in his heart.
He looked at Qin Wangzheng with encouraging eyes. He didn't want the king to be disappointed in him.
Li Xin glanced at Wang Jian not far away again, thinking of the various things he had been suppressed in Yandi, and the anger in his heart wanted to burst out more and more.
Coupled with the strategy offered by Lord Changping just now, it became much easier for Li Xinxin to attack Chu.
In the past, Lord Wu'an led an army of tens of thousands, defeated Yan and Ying in one battle, burned Yiling in another battle, and humiliated the ancestors of the King of Chu in three battles.
How high-spirited it is, it makes people feel excited when they hear it.
He, Li Xin, is now fighting against a half-disabled state of Chu, and is assisted by Lord Changping to divide and disintegrate the enemy for him.
With such difficulty, why do we need 600,000 people?
Li Xin held his head high and said loudly: "If Xinruo attacks Chu, it will only take 200,000 people!"
Qin Wangzheng laughed loudly, and seemed to be infected by the heroic spirit in Li Xin's mouth. He ignored Wang Jian and blurted out: "General Wang is old, how can he be cowardly! General Li is very brave, and his words are true!" "
"If a few people attack Chu, General Li will be the commander-in-chief!"
Hearing this praise, Li Xin blushed even more and kowtowed to the Chief Inspector of the King of Qin on the spot, saying: "I believe that as a general, I will live up to the great love of the king. I will definitely come back and deliver the cud to the King of Chu in Xianyang!"
In a short period of time, the selection of generals and the number of troops for the entire attack on Chu had been decided.
The reason why the King of Qin held this celebration banquet was not only to celebrate the achievements of the heroes, but also to decide the next battle plan.
After all, a large-scale military expedition cannot be dispatched immediately with just one word, but requires rigorous preparation.
It is necessary to select the general, attack direction and combat strength in advance, and then choose the time to send troops according to the plan. Then, soldiers must be recruited, food and fodder transportation must be prepared, and enemy intelligence must be probed...
Therefore, the political leaders of the King of Qin will confirm everything today, and in the remaining time, they can make logistical preparations step by step. When the time comes, they can unsheath their swords and annihilate the kingdom of ten thousand chariots.
….
Faced with King Qin's decision, the ministers present had mixed reactions.
Wang Jian didn't seem to hear, and was drinking alone.
The other generals rubbed their hands together, their faces rosy. They had battles to fight and achievements to make.
Wei Liao, who was good at the art of war, knew something was wrong. He opened his mouth, but after looking at Qin Wangzheng's high-spirited expression, he shook his head with emotion.
The eyebrow-shaped eyelids were raised, then drooped. In his opinion, everything the king said was right.
Li Si and Yao Jia were not good at military affairs and did not comment on this.
Only Mr. Changping looked at Li Xin with a faint smile on his face, becoming more and more kind and friendly.
Come.
Zhao Tuo covered his face, not wanting to see Li Xin looking so proud now.
This General Li is good at everything, but he gets carried away too easily. Now it's a done deal, and it's useless for Zhao Tuo to do anything at this time.
However, although Zhao Tuo was heartbroken, Li Xin did not let him go.
Then I saw Li Xin standing in the palace and said to Qin Wangzheng: "I have a request, and I hope the king will agree."
"Oh? Please tell me, General Li."
Li Xin looked at Zhao Tuo who was standing aside. Although he was surprised at why the young man looked so sad, he still said loudly: "Xin heard that the king summoned Zhao Tuo to join the palace as a prince. I also ask the king to let this son accompany me when he goes to war. Together."
I……
Hearing this, Zhao Tuo was stunned.
He looked at Li Xin.
He saw Li Xin looking at him with encouragement.
Li Xin held his head high, his expression full of confidence, and looked at Zhao Tuo as if he was talking.
Come with me, I will help you achieve success!
Qin Wangzheng also looked over and said with a smile: "Zhao Tuo, you are willing to go with General Li to attack Chu."
Zhao Tuo forced a smile on his face and said, "My lord, I am willing."
At this point, what else can be said, could it be that he refuses on the spot, slaps Li Xin in the face, and offends everyone.
Zhao Tuo could only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, while showing his gratitude to General Li for his appreciation.
Qin Wangzheng smiled at the ministers in the palace and said: "Zhao Tuo once said, 'When you are alive, you will be a prince, and when you die, you will be the food of the temple.' He will naturally be indispensable in this war to destroy the country. When the army goes out after the spring plowing next year, let him join General Li in the expedition." Chu. I want to see what contribution this boy will make in the war."
After hearing what Qin Wangzheng said, everyone knew that he loved Zhao Tuo beyond words, and congratulated him one after another.
Li Si even joked: "Zhao Gongcheng went to the Yan Kingdom once and was able to advance to the seventh level in a row. This time in the battle to destroy Chu, he must have to advance to the seventh level again. This time, he will be on top of us." .”
"Ha ha……"
Everyone in the hall laughed.
Everyone knows that the higher the title, the more difficult it is to upgrade. It is naturally impossible for Zhao Tuo to upgrade to seven levels in a row. But what Li Si said also shows that everyone knows that Zhao Tuo is deeply loved by the King of Qin. As long as he makes meritorious service again, he will soar to the sky sooner or later.
Even Wei Xiang, who had shown slight contempt for Zhao Tuo before, was smiling and started joking along with Li Si.
The whole temple was filled with a cheerful and joyful atmosphere.
The destruction of the Chu State for eight hundred years seemed to be an easy task.
Zhao Tuo smiled along with everyone, but in his heart he was cursing his mother.
Upgraded to seven levels in a row?
It would be great if you can save your life!
….
If he remembered correctly, in history, Li Xin was defeated miserably in his attack on Chu. He was pursued by Xiang Yan for three days and three nights. He killed seven captains of the Qin army in a row and suffered countless casualties among ordinary soldiers.
When Zhao Tuo heard Li Xin shouting for 200,000 to attack Chu, he had already made up his mind not to get involved in this war.
Just stay in Xianyang and be his official. Li Xin won't die anyway. When Wang Jian came out to clean up the mess, Zhao Tuo followed to take the credit.
Unexpectedly, the tree wanted to be quiet but the wind was not stopping. Li Xin tied him to the chariot again with just one word. And looking at Qin Wangzheng's appearance, he also hoped that he would go to the battlefield to practice.
well……
Zhao Tuo had mixed feelings in his heart.
He looked up and saw Lord Changping smiling at him.
…
After the banquet was over, Li Xin and Lord Changping were left alone, as they seemed to have important matters to discuss.
The rest of the officials all retreated.
Zhao Tuo saw Wang Jian walking out of the palace gate with slow steps. His back was full of a feeling of a hero in his twilight years.
"General."
Zhao Tuo hurriedly stepped forward to help Wang Jian.
Wang Jian turned around and saw Zhao Tuo. Especially when he heard the word "General" in his mouth, a flash of sadness flashed in his eyes.
[To be honest, the most

Qin Wangzheng chose Li Xin to attack Chu, which also meant that his era as Wang Jian was over. How could he not feel a little disappointed in his heart?
"So it's you."
He smiled and walked out with Zhao Tuo's help.
"I am old, and this world will be the stage for you young people in the future."
Zhao Tuo said hurriedly: "What did the general say? With the current situation in the world, there will always be a time to go to the battlefield again."
Wang Jian smiled and said nothing.
The two of them walked all the way outside the palace. Wang Jian glanced at Zhao Tuo and said with a smile: "You sent me here, maybe you have something to ask me?"
"The general is wise."
Zhao Tuo did not deny that he did have something to ask.
Among the ministers in the palace, Wei Liao showed good intentions to him, but after all, he did not know the details and did not dare to talk nonsense.
Although Li Si was full of good intentions, Zhao Tuo knew that Li Si was not an economical person. He had killed all his disciples, let alone Zhao Tuo, so he could only stay away from him.
After much thought, Wang Jian was the best. After all, Zhao Tuo was Wang Jian's soldier.
Zhao Tuo knew about the attack on Chu, and had nothing to say, and he did not dare to talk nonsense, otherwise it would be bad if he talked nonsense.
What he wanted to ask Wang Jian was why when Lord Changping entered the palace, all the ministers in the palace acted strangely and seemed unwilling to have too much contact with Lord Changping.
Hearing this, Wang Jian narrowed his eyes and glanced at Zhao Tuo.
"You, boy, are observing carefully, this matter..."
Wang Jian hesitated for a moment, then thought about what he had done. He was probably going to retire and return home. There was nothing unspeakable about the affairs of the court.
"Although you are young, your intelligence and courage are extraordinary, and you are favored by the king. You will surely be in a high position in the future. But remember, it is best not to mess around with Lord Changping and Lord Changwen, and not to make friends easily."
Even Chang Wenjun?
Zhao Tuo couldn't help but ask: "Why?"
Wang Jiandan smiled and said, "Because Mr. Fusu. If you have seen this young master, you will understand."
Zhao Tuo was stunned, remembering the Chu clothes Fu Su was wearing and the Chu style elegance that seemed to be born from him.
