"The king ordered me to return to Xianyang?"
Zhao Tuo was surprised because he knew that Qin was planning to launch a war against Chu after the autumn harvest, immediately after destroying Wei.
When the time comes, the King of Qin will continue to use these soldiers and civilians to attack Wei, and at the same time, he will order Li Xin to lead tens of thousands of elite troops from Guanzhong. In this way, the 200,000 people needed to attack Chu will be collected.
That's why Wang Ben was so generous before, and rewarded the jewels and jade treasures found in Daliang City to his Qin soldiers.
These are life-buying money, specially used to gain Shizu's heart.
Under this situation, all the troops stayed in Wei, and only Zhao Tuo was ordered to return to Xianyang, which seemed very unexpected.
"The king has given you orders. I think you have important responsibilities. You can go ahead with peace of mind. I will take care of your subordinates."
Facing Zhao Tuo's farewell, Wang Ben gently comforted him.
It wasn't until the young man in front of him walked out of the military tent and left that Wang Ben's expression became serious.
"Among the tens of thousands of troops, Zhao Tuo was the only one summoned by the king by name. This favor is really unique. It seems that I, the Wang family, are on the right track by being friendly with him. However, he has such a brilliant record at such a young age. He is of good nature and holds a high title. When he returns to Xianyang, he will definitely not be able to escape the title of Zuo Shu Zhang. If this continues, Li'er will definitely not be as good as him..."
Wang Ben thought of his son.
Starting from his father, Wang Jian, to his Wang Ben, both generations were pillar generals of the Qin State. They were candidates to be commanders in the war to destroy the country, and they could be called prominent generals.
If nothing unexpected happens, his son Wang Li will also become a general of the Qin Army in the future.
But now, in addition to the Meng brothers, Wang Li has another powerful competitor.
Zhao Tuo.
Wang Ben couldn't help but hesitate when he thought of this.
"How about asking Li'er to ask for orders to participate in the battle against Chu and follow Li Xin to the battlefield for meritorious service and promotion?"
As soon as this idea came up, Wang Ben shook his head and rejected the idea.
Chu is a great country.
Although Wang Ben defeated the Chu army last year and captured more than a dozen Chu cities, including Chen Ying, the people of Chu were frightened by the defeat.
But he has never looked down upon this country of ten thousand chariots in the south.
Eight hundred years ago, the State of Chu had a vast territory and a long history.
It is easy to defeat Chu.
It is difficult to destroy Chu!
Wang Ben had the same view as his father Wang Jian, and was not optimistic about Li Xin's attack on Chu, especially since he had been in contact with Li Xin and knew that this man's character was not a suitable candidate to attack Chu.
"This attack on Chu is a pit of fire. It would be better for me, Wang, not to participate."
Wang Ben gave up the idea of sending Wang Li to the battlefield, but he also had no intention of writing a letter to dissuade him.
After successively destroying Han, Zhao, Yan, and Wei.
The pride within the Qin State has reached an extreme level.
He went up to the government of the Qin Dynasty and became the official minister of the Manchu Dynasty.
Every Qin soldier down to the lowest level believes that there is no country in the world that can fight Qin.
neat and smart.
But withered bones in the grave.
As soon as the Qin army comes out, their country will be destroyed.
In such a proud mood, if anyone dares to raise a different opinion at this time, he or she is going against the King of Qin and the entire Qin people in the country!
This was Zhao Tuo's first feeling after bidding farewell to his subordinates and arriving in Xianyang after several days of traveling.
….
Xianyang is still that magnificent metropolis.
Xianyang Street was full of people coming and going, and everywhere Zhao Tuo passed was filled with laughter and laughter. He saw pride and complacency on the faces of every Qin person.
Many people are still talking about the Wei prisoners who were escorted to Xianyang a few days ago.
"Hey, those women in King Wei's palace are really not good-looking. They are all yellow and thin, and they look like skeletons. They are not as fat as the women in Gong Nai's house. How could King Wei do this? ah."
"Come on, big
Liang Cheng was soaked in water by General Wang for three full months. It's good that they survived until now. Do you still expect them to grow fat and strong? "
"Hehe, Nai Gong has been addicted to it in the past few years. First, he saw the beauties in the Han Palace. They were so beautiful that each one was so beautiful that it almost made me lose my soul. Then there were the beauties from Yan and Zhao, then From her figure to her appearance, she takes every step and cries, and every cry is so delicious. Although the women in the palace of Wei are a bit worse now, Nai Gong has been blessed. I just don’t know how the beauties in the palaces of King Chu and King Qi are like? "
"Just wait. In less than two years, our Qin army will be able to defeat Qi Chu and bring all the beauties, concubines, princes, princes, and grandsons in the palace to Xianyang for us to watch one by one. And their king, not a single one of them. I can’t run away.”
"That's right, our Qin army is invincible in the world, Qi Chuan can fight! Sooner or later they will be destroyed!"
Words like this filled the streets and alleys of Xianyang, not to mention all, but most Qin people were full of optimism and contempt for the current situation.
"It is said that arrogant soldiers will be defeated. The Qin State is in such a state now."
Zhao Tuo sighed secretly along the way.
He knew the direction of history and what was about to happen, but he had no ability to prevent this war from happening. He could only shake his head and walk towards the Qin Palace.
He was ordered to return to Xianyang.
The first thing Zhao Tuo had to do was not to go back to his mansion to rest, but to go to the palace to meet the supreme King of Qin.
[In view of the general environment,
Let Qin Wangzheng know that Zhao Tuo puts him first in his heart.
Only in this way can the king be happy.
Before arriving at the palace gate, the several lieutenants guarding the gate were acquaintances of Zhao Tuo when he served in the palace.
"It turns out it's Mr. Zhao... No, it's the fifth doctor who's back!"
"We have all heard about what the fifth doctor did in Wei, and we are really impressed. It would be great if we could go to the battlefield, stay with the fifth doctor, and be promoted to the rank for our meritorious service."
While everyone was checking Zhao Tuo's talisman, they chatted with him enviously.
Zhao Tuo responded with a smile: "Don't worry, all of you will have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds sooner or later. By then, all of you will be able to become five great doctors."
"Haha, then I will accept Doctor Wu's good advice."
"Fifth Doctor? Haha, let me see which Fifth Doctor you are talking about?"
A clear voice came, and everyone turned their heads and saw a middle-aged man wearing a crown and dark black clothes stepping out of the palace.
….
"I've met Mr. Meng."
All the lieutenants are busy saluting.
Zhao Tuo was stunned for a moment, this man was not a stranger.
He also bowed and cupped his hands and said, "Zhao Tuo, I have met Duke Meng."
Meng Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the majestic crown on Zhao Tuo's head. He couldn't help but sigh: "What a Zhao Tuo. In one year, he has the same title as me. I heard that you were in Wei Di a few days ago. The matter of meritorious service is really a young hero that the king values so, no wonder it can be compared to the matter of Ganluo in Hangu."
Zhao Tuo smiled awkwardly. Meng Yu was someone who knew his details very well. He bowed his head and said: "Meng Gong, I'm sorry. Zhao Tuo was lucky enough to be favored by the king. His contribution is so small that it's not worth mentioning. Only a person like Meng Gong can be worthy of mention." The pillar of the country.”
"You are really good at talking."
Meng Yu smiled and shook his head, saying: "Looking at your appearance, you should be summoned by the king. In that case, I won't delay you anymore. Come into the palace quickly."
Meng Yu said and walked out by himself.
Zhao Tuo said hurriedly: "Mr. Meng, please go slowly."
Meng Yu nodded slightly, walked a few steps, suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but look back at that particularly young face.
He secretly thought: "I heard that after the victory in Xingyang, this son was sent by Wang Ben to capture the city of Wei, and won a great victory. He also captured Lord Ningling of Wei. With such merit, he was favored by the king. This time When I return to Xianyang, I might even be promoted to a higher rank. Then I will be the concubine Zuo."
Thinking of this, Meng Yu gave up his original plan to return home.
He was going to talk to Meng Tian.
Meng Tian's title is Zuo Shu Zhang.
Meeting Meng Yu by chance was just a minor incident for Zhao Tuo.
He turned to Zhu Zhonglang and asked, "Can General Li Hu be in the palace today?"
Seeing the ambiguous smiles of the lieutenants, Zhao Tuo hurriedly explained: "It's just that I haven't seen General Li Hu for a long time, and I miss him very much."
"Hey, it's a coincidence that the fifth doctor asked. It is really General Li Hu who is on duty in the palace today."
Zhao Tuo thanked him and prepared to avoid the places where Li You often went. He didn't want to provoke him.
Just when Zhao Tuo took the inspected talisman and was about to walk to the palace, the man who handed him something whispered.
"I wonder if the fifth doctor has heard that General Li Hu has been conferred the title of Zuo Shu Chief by the king for his many years of service as a guard."
Li You.
Was he given the title of Zuo Shu Zhang?
Zhao Tuo was stunned for a moment, and after thanking the lieutenant for the reminder, he walked back to the palace, pondering in his mind.
Given a title for Su Wei's service?
The more Zhao Tuo thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was not simple.
Chief Zuo Shu, this is a high-ranking noble of the "Qing" level, and it cannot be obtained without great merit.
Even he, Zhao Tuo, commanded a battle involving thousands of people and won the victory. He captured several counties and captured an enemy prince, so he could be promoted to this title.
And he, Li You, could easily obtain such a title by staying in the Qin Palace for a few years and just patrolling the palace every day.
Why!
"Maybe it's because of Li Si."
"Sure enough, no matter how hard you work, it's not as good as having a good father. I worked my butt off on the battlefield to gain meritorious service, but he can easily climb to a high position."
Zhao Tuo was sour.
He thought that he was also from a noble family in this life, but it was a pity that his father was killed by Guo Kai before he could bring him any benefits.
well……
Zhao Tuo sighed and walked towards the depths of Qin Palace.
