The towering Qin Palace.
"You want to go to Wei Di?"
Qin Wangzheng looked at the young man in front of him, his eyebrows raised slightly.
Today, he is not wearing a solemn and solemn crown, but is dressed in Yanju attire, with a training crown on his head, and the clothes are large enough for him to sit comfortably on the couch.
Unobstructed by the beads on the crown, his face appeared clearly in front of Zhao Tuo.
A thirty-four-year-old man with a high nose, a full forehead, and a long beard under his chin.
Although there is no gorgeous crown to set off his status as a king, the light in Qin Wang Zheng's eyes is enough to make people tremble just as he is sitting there.
Zhao Tuo responded: "I heard that the king is attacking Wei, and I would like to ask for orders to go out and serve the king."
Qin Wangzheng sneered and said: "Zhao Tuo, how long have you been the middle man? It's been less than half a year, and you don't want to be around me so much?"
Zhao Tuo almost spit out a mouthful of old blood. Why did Qin Wangzheng's words still sound like a hint of resentment.
However, Zhao Tuo did not dare to say on the spot that the reason why I wanted to go to Wei was not because of your daughter's words.
He quickly slapped him with some flattery.
"That's absolutely not the case. Your Majesty is so heroic. I want to be by your side every moment and listen to your teachings."
Seeing that Qin Wangzheng's complexion improved due to his flattery.
Zhao Tuo immediately said: "It's just that the war in the world is still undecided and the war is about to start. It's the time for me to ride on the battlefield. I once said in the past that I would like to be a prince in life and a temple minister in death. Now I, the Qin State, have sent a large army to destroy it." Wei, I don’t want to miss this good opportunity to make contributions! "
"When you are alive, you should be a prince, and when you die, you should be the food of the temple."
When Qin Wangzheng heard this, he couldn't help but nodded slightly.
The reason why he dotes on the young man in front of him is that Zhao Tuo is indeed capable and knows that he is unprepared. Another big reason is that Zhao Tuo has the unique energy and vitality of young people.
Just like Li Xin before.
Such young men are the future of Qin!
"Can't wait for half a year? If there are no accidents in this war, Wei will be destroyed in a short time. After the autumn harvest, we will raise an army to attack Chu. At that time, you can follow Li Xin into battle." King Qin Zhengdan Dan said.
Zhao Tuo's eyelids jumped when he heard Li Xin's name.
The reason why he asked for orders to attack Wei was not only because of his relationship with the princess, but also because he wanted to see if he could change Li Xin's fate of attacking Chu.
As long as he can make a contribution in conquering Wei, he will be promoted to the rank of fifth official.
You can be qualified to become a leading captain.
Of course, this is just a qualification, not a guarantee.
In recent years, as the Qin State launched many wars of annihilation and wars, many people were continuously promoted based on military merit, which led to the depreciation of titles within the army.
The appointments of generals are generally arranged in order of title from high to low.
However, the number of generals leading the army is limited each time, while the number of nobles is increasing.
In this case, if you are unlucky and encounter a situation where there are few positions and many high-ranking officials, the fifth doctor may even be driven out to become a master of two or five hundred.
So Zhao Tuo wanted to take more credit in the battle to destroy Wei. Even if he could only advance to one level, he would be more qualified to compete with others when he attacked Chu in the future.
The battle against Chu is extremely dangerous. If you bring more troops, the result may be different.
Therefore, he faced another inquiry from Qin Wangzheng.
Zhao Tuo said firmly: "Please give me your permission, Your Majesty. I am willing to go to the battlefield."
Zhao Tuo kowtowed, his expression very sincere.
There was silence in the Qin Palace, and the atmosphere was depressing.
After a long time, King Qin sighed quietly.
"In that case, then go ahead."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Zhao Tuo was overjoyed that Qin Wangzheng really trusted him and finally agreed to his request.
Watching Zhao Tuo leave happily, Qin Wangzheng sat on the couch with a smile on his face.
Showing a faint smile.
"Is it because of her?"
…
Qin Wangzheng agreed to Zhao Tuo's request to participate in the battle against Wei. After Zhao Tuo left the palace, he went to the Bangwei Mansion to register.
Zhao Tuo originally intended to take this opportunity to visit Wei Liao, a master of the art of war, but unfortunately it was the busiest time in Bang Wei's Mansion, and everyone was busy up and down.
As the highest military institution of the Qin State, all coordination matters regarding the war, including personnel recruitment, food and fodder transportation, etc., are under the jurisdiction of the Bangwei Mansion, so Wei Liao cannot spare any time at this moment.
Zhao Tuo could only give up and focus on another person.
Pinyang County.
The hometown of the great concubine Wang Jian.
Since the celebration banquet, Wang Jian had an insight into Qin Wangzheng's thoughts and took the initiative to thank him for his illness and return to his old age.
After a few polite words of apology, Qin Wangzheng agreed to Wang Jian's request to retire and return to his hometown.
The former Qin general became particularly energetic after having his armor and stomach removed. Compared with when he was in Yandi, where he was sneezing and talking, and his body was hunched over and weak, now Wang Jian speaks with vigor and can even eat two large bowls.
Watching Wang Jian finish another bowl of corn rice.
Zhao Tuo praised: "The general is so strong!"
Wang Jian laughed loudly and boasted: "You have never seen me when I was young. What are you seeing in front of me? At that time, even if it was rough rice that was difficult to swallow, I could eat five bowls of it in one go, hum. "
Zhao Tuo showed an expression of admiration.
He thought of the allusion to Lian Po.
Wang Jian is a very easy-going person, especially now that he is old and has no airs.
Zhao Tuo talked to him as if talking to the old man next door, without any sense of restraint.
In addition, Wang Jian allowed him to eat and made jokes, obviously treating Zhao Tuo as a close descendant.
In this way, Zhao Tuo no longer had any scruples.
He opened his mouth and said, "I came to visit the General this time. I have something to ask, and I would like to ask the General for advice."
Wang Jian showed an expression that was indeed true. He chuckled and said, "I knew it was like this. You kid is not guarding the princess in the palace, and you even made a special trip to come to me, an old man. If you say nothing is wrong, I'm afraid you are just bullying me." people."
Zhao Tuo was sweating profusely. How could Wang Jian know what happened to him in the palace when he stayed in his hometown?
After thinking about it in his mind, Zhao Tuo locked the suspect.
Wang Li!
Unexpectedly, this guy appears to be a serious person, but in private he is a big talker.
Zhao Tuo secretly remembered it in his heart and said with a naive smile: "What's the matter? After last year's farewell, I still miss the general's teachings."
"Hey, stop being like this. If you have something to say, you kid, just say it directly. Do you want to ask me about the war against Wei?" Wang Jian chuckled.
Zhao Tuo shook his head.
"No, what I want to ask is about the battle against Chu."
"Fachu?"
Wang Jian was startled for a moment, and a gleam flashed in his eyes: "That matter won't happen until after the new year. Why are you thinking about this now?"
Zhao Tuo whispered: "General, is it really possible for an army of 200,000 to destroy Chu?"
Wang Jian smiled faintly. He had already made his attitude clear at the celebration banquet before, and said, "Anyway, if I want to destroy Chu, it will take 600,000 people. As for Li Xin, hehe..."
Zhao Tuo asked again: "What does the general think will be the result of General Li's attack on Chu?"
Wang Jian narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "Chu is a big country. Although it is broken now, it cannot be underestimated. In addition, Chu general Xiang Yan, I met him once when I was young, he is not a weak enemy..."
Wang Jian sighed, but did not express his opinion. He thought he was quite taboo about this matter.
Zhao Tuo gritted his teeth and directly stated the purpose of his visit.
"Then let me ask you, General, if our army encounters a certain situation and causes a defeat on the battlefield, and is followed and pursued by General Chu..."
…
When Zhao Tuo came back from Pinyang, he already had something in mind
A bottom. Although things in the world are unpredictable and it may not be useful at that time, compared to the original confused state, he at least has a little more hope and certainty.
Time gradually passes as spring plowing is completed.
The edicts of the King of Qin were issued from the Qin Palace and spread throughout the world.
"Dawangzhi said: The king of Wei is unruly and has agreed to submit to Qin. He has betrayed the alliance and plans to attack Qin with the remnants of Han and Zhao."
"Order General Wang Ben to attack Wei with Huaiyang's army."
The war between Qin and Wei has officially begun!
