Soon.

Zhao Yu, who heard the news, found Zhao Tuo impatiently, and said with disbelief: "Father, why is I on the list of retired soldiers? I clearly didn't apply, and I was placed in Huai County? This is What kind of broken place?"

"I do not want to go!"

Hearing Zhao Yu's complaint, Zhao Tuo's face remained normal.

He calmly poured himself a cup of hot water and said in a deep voice: "It's not up to you whether you go or not. The transfer of non-commissioned officers this time is the sole responsibility of His Highness's Affairs Office. I have no authority to intervene. Even if I don't want you to go, , and can’t make the decision for you.”

"It's impossible to intercede for you."

"Father." Zhao Wei was a little anxious.

He doesn't want to leave the army.

He is very aware of his abilities.

Once he left the military camp, without the protection of Zhao Tuo, he would be unable to move anywhere.

And where is Huai County?
That was the only place where a big crime happened.

And Fusu had handled cases there before.

The local officials there may have been colluding with Fusu for a long time. How could he have ended up in the past?

Zhao Wei took a sip of warm water, which smoothed up his dry mouth. He looked at Zhao Wei coldly and scolded: "What did I tell you before? Don't be so irritable when things happen. It might not be a bad thing for you to stay away from Lingnan."

"As the commander-in-chief of the army, I can only respond to this incident. How can I be selfish for you at this time?"

"Although Huai County is not as good as Yongcheng, it is still in Guanzhong, and the population is about to reach [-] households. If you work hard in Huai County and increase the population to [-] households, you will naturally be promoted to the county magistrate. , you may not be unable to enter the court in the future."

Zhao Wei's eyes were filled with disbelief.

Zhao Tuo looked at Zhao Wei with a deep look, sighed softly, and said: "This matter has been settled like this. There is no chance to change it. You don't need to waste any more words. As the commander-in-chief of the army, if I am concerned about the matter of retirement, If you don’t agree, wouldn’t it make people even more dissatisfied if word spread?”

"When the army's morale is shaken, wouldn't it be a sinner?"

Zhao Yu looked aggrieved, and said unwillingly: "Father, I really don't want to go to Huai County, I just want to serve by my father's side, and I am a lieutenant general in the army, and I didn't apply for discharge this time. Advocate, act outrageously, father, you have every reason to refuse, and even ask His Highness to reason."

"This is your highness' fault."

Zhao Tuo glanced at Zhao Wei coldly and said in a cold voice: "Don't talk nonsense here. How did His Highness ever say that he would not touch General Bi? As for the application, His Highness made it very clear that day. It was only for For reference, you don’t really take it as a basis, these things are clearly stated so clearly, you didn’t listen to them at all.”

"And it's not about you this time."

"Apart from you, Tu Lan will also be transferred away."

"Tu Lan's military achievements in the army are much more than yours. He has taken the lead many times. If I intercede for you, do I have to intercede for Tu Lan? Once this opening is made, other generals will come forward. Do I have to intercede with others?"

"Won't the army be in a mess if this continues?"

"Since His Highness has made a specific roster, we, as generals of Great Qin, can only follow it."

"I used to be too indulgent to you, so that you are a little too willful!"

Zhao Tuo reprimanded Zhao Yu in a cold voice.

Zhao Yu was full of grievances.

He had never cared about retiring from the army before, and he never thought that it would fall on him. When he heard the specific news, he was stunned.

"Go down."

"Take this time to organize yourself."

"Wait a few days to go to Huai County."

Zhao Tuo settled the matter in one go.

Zhao Yu still wanted to struggle, but seeing Zhao Tuo's cold gaze, he could only swallow it back.

When Zhao Yu walked away, Zhao Tuo's eyes darkened.

He clenched his fists tightly, but he was thinking in his heart whether he was a little too upright at the beginning. If he had really listened to Lu Jia's words and raised his own self-respect, maybe this time things would never have happened at all, even in the case of Hu Hai. After these words, some rumors can be spread, the general's heart will be completely shaken, and then the only way to enter Lingnan will be cut off.

a time.

Zhao Tuo thought a lot.

But soon, he calmed down.

Just think about these thoughts in your heart. If you really do this, I am afraid that the generals below will take the head and dedicate it to Xianyang. In the final analysis, his control over the army is not enough. Not that high.

The army sergeants and soldiers were still full of respect for the First Emperor.

As long as the First Emperor is still there, the Nanhai army will not really let him do whatever he wants.

So he actually had no choice at all.

There is nothing I can do except swallow my anger and accept everything silently.

He was just a general who led troops for the First Emperor.

That's all.

Zhao Tuo sat on the table dejectedly.

He no longer wanted to struggle.

I really don't know how to struggle.

The only hope is that this matter can end sooner, or he can be transferred away earlier, so that the big rock hanging in his heart can be completely dropped. After all, he still has merit for Daqin. Although he had some unrealistic thoughts, but After all, they didn't really do this, and even if someone reported it, they wouldn't find much.

It just arouses suspicion.

the other side.

After the roster of non-commissioned officer transfers was completely announced, the South China Sea camp was completely boiling, and a large number of soldiers gathered together to discuss the roster, but when they saw the names of Tu Lan and Zhao Yu, they couldn't help being shocked. .

But apart from being surprised, he was even more convinced.

After all, even Zhao Tuo's son is on the roster, which is enough to prove the strength of the court this time.

at the same time.

Tu Lan, who was discussing with Yang Wengzi about the final elimination of the Ouyue and Baiyue people, was stunned when he heard the news. He hadn't thought about himself.

a time.

But he was a little at a loss.

Compared to Tu Lan's bewilderment, Yang Wengzi was quite relieved.

Since the death of his father Tu Sui in battle, Tu Lan has been holding back the fire of revenge in his heart. The originally cheerful young man has now become very gloomy. Yang Wengzi has always been worried about Tu Lan's situation, but the war in the South China Sea has not stopped. , it was not easy for him to persuade him. This time His Highness transferred Tu Lan away, which was actually a good thing for Tu Lan.

Staying away from the South China Sea may allow Tu Lan to come out.

Tu Lan showed dismay, and hesitated, "As a general in the army, he should obey the order. It's just that the third conquest of the Baiyue people is about to take place, and it may also be the last time. I can't participate in such a war, and I feel really unwilling."

Yang Wengzi said: "There is not much suspense about this war."

"Even the army will not use too much. I know you are eager for revenge, but in the past two conquests, Baiyue was defeated long ago. Only the remnant soldiers and defeated generals are still lingering. There is no need for you to be so concerned. Since your father fought After your death, your temperament changed drastically. This situation is actually not very good, and you should get out of it now."

"Yongcheng is a big county."

"In the past, it was the old capital of my Great Qin."

"You are highly valued by His Highness and appointed as the county magistrate. In the future, you should learn how to deal with local political affairs. Since the reform of the Shang Dynasty, many soldiers of the Great Qin Dynasty have been appointed as prime ministers. If you can make achievements in the local area, you may not be able to go further. achieve more than your father."

"And this time, you must not be too busy."

"After all, you have a special status." "As the son of the former general, you have a relatively unique position in the army. If you object to this matter in writing, His Highness will definitely consider it, but this will break the rules."

"No rules no standards."

"His Highness has stated clearly before that this job transfer is mandatory."

"Once changed, it becomes empty talk."

"Whether it's you or Zhao Yu, you can only set an example!"

"Never make a counterexample."

Tu Lan nodded.

It also gave up the idea of ​​going to Fusu.

Now that Tu Lan has been transferred, he will not participate in the next military affairs, so Yang Wengzi did not let Tu Lan stay, but let him go back first, and hand over the affairs of the general so that he can go to Yongcheng as soon as possible to take up his post.

When Tu Lan walked away, Yang Wengzi smiled and said, "Your Highness is indeed extraordinary."

"By taking advantage of Tu Lan's special status, Zhao Yu was also transferred away, and judging from the roster above, many of the non-commissioned officers had direct or indirect contact with Zhao Tuo. When all these non-commissioned officers are transferred away, Zhao Yu Tuo's influence in the army will be greatly reduced."

"in this way."

"The South China Sea army can also be completely stabilized."

"It's just that His Highness's growth is a bit too amazing."

"But that's a good thing."

"Judging from the current situation, His Highness seems to be dissatisfied with the court officials, but he holds high regard for the non-commissioned officers in the army. Most of my Yang family's children have entered the army for so many years. This move is not too big for me, Yang family. influence, even the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.”

"Now that Zhao Tuo's wings have almost been pruned, it's time to focus on the final military affairs. The imperial court has spent too much manpower, material and financial resources in the South China Sea, and it's time to end this war that has lasted for many years. .”

Yang Wengzi recovered his mind.

He looked again at the sheepskin map in front of him.

Doing the final pre-war preparations.

Fusu has no intention of participating in the upcoming battle. Although he has some knowledge about military affairs, he is not proficient in it, so he will not rashly intervene. Moreover, before deciding to change the post of the army non-commissioned officer, he even specifically asked Li Xin asked whether it would affect the morale and combat effectiveness of the army, and finally got a positive answer from Li Xin.

There are normal situations.

However, soldiers in the army have been fighting for many years, and they all have a strong war weariness in their hearts.

The original passion for the war has long since disappeared.

Moreover, the imperial court has never made it clear whether it will let them go back in the end, so the morale of the army is generally low. Just because of the heavy losses before, the soldiers have more or less resentments in their hearts and need to vent them, so they are not too prepared for the third expedition. Much dissent.

But the transfer of non-commissioned officers seems to have injected a boost to the army.

Let the soldiers see a wave of hope.

In particular, some non-commissioned officers were arranged to leave in advance, which also means that there will be at least hundreds of new non-commissioned officers on top, and these people will most likely be transferred and transferred in the future. As the Qin army was familiar with Lingnan, the Baiyue people had long been unable to withstand the Qin army's offensive. If these policies continued, they would only arouse the soldiers' desire to fight and their determination to perform meritorious deeds.

It is a great boost to the morale of the army.

Also.

Wars are rewarded with military exploits.

Especially what Fusu said before, many of them are linked to titles.

If he can kill a lot of enemies in this military campaign, he may not be able to be promoted from a petty officer to a non-commissioned officer. Wouldn't it be possible to end his service period faster?

even so.

Fusu was still a little worried.

He even secretly told Li Xin that in order to ensure safety, don't care about the cost, he would rather use a strong bow to shoot a few more rounds, but also to ensure the complete victory of this military operation.

He didn't want anything unexpected to happen.

Even if you pay more.

Also do not hesitate.

Li Xin listened to Fusu's suggestion.

However, the war has not yet begun, especially as a large number of non-commissioned officers have transferred and new non-commissioned officers have taken over. Since all the people of Great Qin are soldiers, almost all Qin people must serve in the army when they reach adulthood. The quality of the army is not low, and it will not take too long to get used to it. For a long time, so in the end, the war time will be delayed for a while.

Fortunately, the climate in south of the Five Ridges is hot and humid, unlike in the north, where the climate will deteriorate rapidly.

So the length of time does not affect much.

at this time.

The county government office in Lingling.

Fusu was holding "Han Feizi" to figure it out.

After nearly a year of baptism, he has a deeper understanding of Han Feizi, and now he looks at Han Feizi again, and has different feelings and understandings.

Fusu murmured, "Han Feizi is indeed a great master."

"He sees too clearly the relationship between people."

"People benefit from each other!"

"Han Fei is right. Whether people are stupid or smart, they will make choices when making choices. There are only four words for making choices: seek advantages and avoid disadvantages."

"It's human nature."

"Wherever the benefits are, the people will return; where the reputation is, the soldiers will die!"

"The hustle and bustle of the world is all about profit coming and going."

"Everyone in the world says that it is wrong for Yang Hu of Lu State to commit rebellion, but as long as the interests are great enough, who among all the ministers in the world will not become Yang Hu?"

"Human nature is inherently evil!"

"No one is not profit-seeking, and no one is not counting!"

"For example, Bole, the world says that there are always thousands of horses, but Bole doesn't often have them. But when Bole teaches people how to match horses, if he hates that student, teach him how to recognize a thousand-mile horse. If he likes that student, teach him how to recognize a common horse. High-spirited and bright, in fact, a thousand-mile horse is rarely seen in a hundred years, but ordinary horses are often seen."

"Why is there no calculation in it?"

"Mr. Ji understood the truth a long time ago."

"It's already been explained."

"The same is true for the king and the minister."

"The monarch and the ministers have nothing to do with each other. They can cooperate because the monarch needs the intelligence of the ministers. The ministers are greedy for the monarch's rewards, so they can walk together. But whether it is a monarch or a minister, you must remember that it is harmful to yourself. And what is beneficial to the country, the minister will not do, and what is harmful to the country but beneficial to the minister, the ruler will not do."

"Between the king and his ministers."

"All we have to do is settle our respective accounts."

"Only in this way can the relationship be established and consolidated. In the end, it must be based on interests."

"This is it"

"The king harms his ministers with plans, and the ministers serve the king with plans."

"The friendship between the monarch and his ministers is a plan!"

Fusu looked at each word, and the feelings in his heart kept adding up.
