Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 559: Son inherits father’s legacy (please give me a monthly recommendation ticket!)

"In terms of merit, I captured the king twice, unmatched by anyone in the world, and defeated Yan, Qi, and Chu. If it weren't for my young age at that time, I would have been granted the title of Marquis of Che!"

After saying that, Li Xin laughed proudly!

Other tribesmen rushed over. These people were either relatives of Li Xin's family, or sergeants promoted from the army, or Li Xin's old troops.

Some of these people are young, some are 30 years old, and some are older, only 45 years old. Generally speaking, they are all about the same age and temperament as Li Xin.

The real power in the military is in their hands.

Under the advice of everyone, Wang Li endured his anger for a while and found that Li Xin and others were waiting for him in front, so he immediately chased after them.

When they got closer, they heard Li Xin bragging about himself in front of everyone.

These people waited until Wang Li walked in and pretended that what just happened had never happened.

Wang Li and his men could only stand on the outside, listening to their coach showing off his power.

Wang Li was naturally dissatisfied as he listened.Achievements, achievements, you are the best at bragging!

My father flooded the beams and destroyed the strongest city in the world. You, Li Xin, are just picking up the leftovers every time.

The first time Prince Dan of Yan was shot to death, it was because my father held back the main force of Yan; the second time King Chu was shot to death, it was because General Meng held back the main force of Chu.

Wang Li was angry in his heart, but he didn't show any anger on his face.

Li Xin saw Wang Li being patient with him, but for the sake of important matters, he deliberately changed the subject.

Li Xin suddenly looked back on the past and said with pride:
"When I was a young man, I was full of energy and all the arrows I fired missed."

Others heard it and immediately agreed, saying:
"The general's archery skills are unparalleled in the world!"

"The general is unparalleled!"

Naturally, Wang Li had seen Li Xin's riding and shooting skills. As for the hare in the mountain stream, Li Xin could shoot him while riding.As long as the wild geese in the sky are within shooting range, Li Xin will definitely be able to shoot them down.

Everyone was complimenting Li Xin, but Li Xin suddenly let out a long sigh.

"It's just a pity that you are not like me."

Everyone asked themselves:

"What do you mean by this, Lord?"

"When I was young, I fought all over the world. My sons were raised by women at home. Over the years, they have become submissive, timid and afraid of getting into trouble! No matter how I teach, I can't change that habit. He has not learned the essentials of my riding and shooting skills. . I am now forty-five years old, and I can only gallop on the battlefield for another ten years at most."

"Since ancient times, sons have inherited their father's legacy, but I don't think there is much hope for my son anymore. Every time I think about this, I feel sad!"

After hearing these words, everyone naturally comforted Li Xin.

"This masculinity can only be honed on the battlefield. If a prince brings his young son into the army, experiences war and tempers him, then this masculinity will come naturally."

Li Xin listened and said:
"I'm afraid that's inappropriate. He has a delicate skin and tender flesh. He can't cook, chop wood, or run. The only thing he can do is ride a horse. When he gets to the army, if he is asked to become a soldier, he will definitely become a soldier. It drags down the whole army."

Wang Li heard that there was something in Li Xin's words.

Sure enough, others echoed:
"General, you are too modest. We have all experienced your son's style, but he has become more gentle after studying. He is tall and handsome, but he actually has the demeanor of a military governor! General, why don't you bring the young son into the army? Make him a general."

After hearing this, Li Xin hurriedly shook his head and said:
"Hey - how can this be so? Although our Qin State has abolished the military merit system, promotions in the military have always been reported to Your Majesty. My son is notoriously unhelpful. If I put him in In the army, many people will be dissatisfied. The war is about to begin, so how can I temporarily let my son lead the rear army?"

Only then did Wang Li hear the connotations of their words.

It turned out that Li Xin wanted his son to be the general of the rear army.

"General, you can't say that. In the past, the prime minister's son was the supervisor of the army. Feng Jie was in charge of the rear army, supplying food and grass, and assisting the army in the rear. But he harmed you, general. According to the general's plan , last time we suddenly marched straight in, crossed the Yin Mountains, and penetrated into the heart of the enemy army, catching the Huns by surprise. But Feng Jie interfered and almost killed us."

"Feng Jie ran away in fear of the crime. He must have falsely accused the prince in Xianyang City."

Li Xin said:

"Be careful what you say! I believe in your Majesty's character, and your Majesty will definitely trust me, Li Xin. If you ignore Feng Jie, it is entirely up to your Majesty to handle it."

Li Xin didn't care about Feng Jie.

Forcing him to leave was Li Xin's original intention.

This Feng Jie is quite skillful and is always trying to trick his confidants in order to get evidence that he intends to rebel.It was too worrying to have him, the prime minister's son, by his side.

Feng Jie was too capable of causing trouble for him.

But this Feng Jie is still tender.

He, Li Xin, just showed his back a little, and he couldn't wait to make a move, and then fled away in fear of crime.

This Feng Jie, what he did, brought his father's face into disrepute.

Presumably at this time, everyone in the Feng family was surrounding Feng Jie, trying to avenge him.

Wang Li naturally didn't believe it after hearing this.

The reason why Wang Li did not side with Feng Jie was because many of his soldiers were former members of Wang Jian and Wang Li.Although these old troops are older, they are very good at military affairs.

If there is dissension among the generals in this army, it will greatly affect morale.If Wang Li joins any party in the struggle, it will intensify the motivation of the struggle, so it is better to stay out of it.

Even though Wang Li has little experience, he is still a majestic Qin Wuchenghou!

Wang Li understood what Li Xin meant, but he echoed:

"Yongwuhou, let Lingzi be the rear army. We all know Lingzi's character and ability. Most importantly, if Lingzi is in charge of the rear army, the general will have nothing to worry about."

What Li Xin was waiting for was Wang Li's words.

"Wu Chenghou, but I think it's more appropriate for Wu Chenghou to be in charge of the rear army. My son is only good at talking, and he can't manage and control major affairs in the rear like this."

Wang Li is heartbroken!He didn't want to be like Feng Jie, commanding the rear army, but once he commanded the rear army, he could only stay south of Yinshan Mountain, and he could not leave the border.

If you can't get out of the gate, you can't kill the enemy. If you can't kill the enemy, you can't lead the soldiers to kill the enemy. In this way, you can't make meritorious service.

Furthermore, most of the rear troops were generals from Longxi, and they were not willing to listen to his orders.

"General, what are you talking about? I, Wang Li, am a useless person. I came here just hoping to kill the Xiongnu leader under the general's command and report the victory to Your Majesty. I don't dare to take care of the food and fodder for the governor."

"It's a pity that Marquis Wu Cheng said this. However, since Marquis Wu Cheng is unwilling, I, Li Xin, will never force Marquis Wu Cheng. This time, Marquis Wu Cheng will lead the left army. As for the rear army, I will do it reluctantly. , let my son give it a try.”

Everyone immediately agreed with Li Xin's arrangement and thought it was a wonderful arrangement.

Wang Li was angry, but he couldn't let it go.

But soon, Li Xin gave him the benefit of the doubt.

They came to the city wall on the top of Yinshan Mountain. In the fortress, Li Xin saw the captured Huns spies.

"General, what is this?"

"Wu Chenghou, I won't hide it from you. In fact, the last attack was just for the purpose of total annihilation this time. Before, Meng Tian garrisoned Jiuyuan, and the Hu people did not dare to go south. Over the years, the food they once robbed has been consumed. , the Huns can no longer hold on."

"I have obtained the information. The Huns are still fighting among themselves. The internal struggle has caused them to lose more people, horses, food and grass. I deliberately sent people to spread the news, saying that Meng Tian had been recalled to Xianyang, which made them ready to take action. Last time, I deliberately I provoked them and deliberately fled back to the Great Wall in order to lure them southward. Once they passed the Yinshan Mountains, I would encircle them in a roundabout way. They would never come back."

When Wang Li heard this plan, he was naturally amazed!

"The general has a great plan!"

But at the same time, he also realized that Feng Jie had fallen into the trap designed by Li Xin and others last time.

That Feng Jie!
Li Xin saw Wang Li's expression of realization and patted him on the shoulder.

"Young general, you still have too little experience. In the past, two generals, Wang Jian and Wang Li, were the generals who commanded me. But I saw that the two generals excused themselves because of illness and idleness, and even declined all guests. No outsiders were allowed. Visiting. What are you afraid of? The Major General must know better than me."

"Why do you want to be ministers? No matter how high your merits are, it is your destiny to be ministers. But being a minister is the hardest job in the world. And being a general is the hardest of hardships. I wonder if the young general is willing to listen to me. Li Xin said one or two."

Li Xin held the wine jue in his hand, but he brought it over and handed it to Li Xin.

Wang Li hesitated for a while and then took it.

"Please give me some advice, General."

"As a general, if you lose a battle, you will be punished by your majesty and have your head displayed to the public; but if you win a battle, a small victory is okay, but if you win a big victory for a long time, it will definitely arouse your majesty's suspicion. I am Bai Qi, Lord Wu'an of Qin State After that, every general in the Qin State was not trembling with fear. All the noble families were trembling."

"When Marquis Wu Cheng came to Jiuyuan County, he must have seen his family become the next Bai and Sima families. Does what I say make sense?"

Wang Li naturally said:
"What the general said is certainly true."

But the reason why I can go to Jiuyuan County this time is all a gift from His Majesty.Since you want to enjoy the rare dignity in the world, you have to bear the king's suspicion.

Seeing that Wang Li echoed his opinion, Li Xin didn't say anything more. It is not so easy to persuade a person to become king with him.

Or, in the middle of this, get rid of him as soon as possible.

After all, Wang Li is now the one carrying the secret.

Li Xin was drinking heartily at the table, while Wang Li looked at the wine master with a frown on his face.

"I don't know when the general plans to encircle and wipe out the Xiongnu?"

"After the autumn harvest. This time, the Huns can't wait any longer. After this battle, our territory of Qin will be able to expand to the north of Yinshan Mountain, realizing the ambition that the late emperor wanted to realize, and defeating the barbarians!"

"The general is indeed ambitious!"

Wang Li muttered inwardly, His Majesty did not order to attack the Xiongnu, but just let them come here to guard, but Li Xin's actions had already overstepped.

The second generation must know, but...

But at this moment, a person suddenly came outside and announced:

"Report——General, the Longxi shogunate has a happy event!"

Li Xin's eyes lit up, he seemed to have expected this happy event.

"I have grandchildren?"

"Come back, General! That's right, the young lady has a son."

After Li Xin got three granddaughters in succession, he finally got a grandson!
(Guess, everyone, what is this grandson’s name? Loud!)
