The Six Arts of the Gentleman in the Bright Moon of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 657: Red Flame's Power [Subscribe*Monthly Ticket Request]

Meng Tian's military achievements were made in Bingzhou. He fought for Bingzhou, so he was rewarded. However, he did not fight for the State of Qin. Although the State of Qin recognized his talents, it did not mean that it would recognize his achievements.

So, even if Meng Tian was brought back and given the same status and identity, would the Qin people agree?

The most important thing is that since Bingzhou led the whole country to the west, Meng Tian has not received any salary from Qin, but only from Bingzhou.

This also means that Meng Tian himself has made his choice.

It's just that there were too many generals who made a name for themselves during Bingzhou's Western Expedition. The chief general of the Yulin Guard, Dian Qing, the commander of the large army, Li Ren, and Bing Jun were all too famous. Although Meng Tian also had an impressive record in that battle, he was far inferior to these people.

Therefore, the Dian Keqing who was in charge of this matter thought that Meng Tian was taking advantage of Bingzhou because he no longer received salary from Qin, so he pretended not to notice it.

Now that Meng Tian became famous for his Red Flame Cavalry, they regretted it.

Even the Dianke who was in charge of this matter became anxious.

If the king asks about this, they will all be in trouble.

Moreover, many of the Qin scholars who followed Meng Tian into Bingzhou at that time no longer received salaries from Qin, just like Meng Tian.

This made Dian Keqing and the Foreign Minister's Office even more frightened.

Eat your salary and share your worries.

Vice versa, since they no longer receive salaries from the Qin State, it means that they have completely joined Bingzhou.

Yao Jia, the foreign minister, looked at Dun Ruo, the minister of acquaintances, and both of them saw fear in each other's eyes.

This is not just one or two people, but a group of people.

Those who were selected by Qin State and sent to Bingzhou at that time were all the most outstanding scholars in Qin State.

Now less than half of the people are receiving salaries from the Qin State, which means that they have sent half of the outstanding talents of the younger generation of Qin State to Bingzhou.

As happy as I was when I had the remaining salary, I am as scared now.

"Fortunately, Meng Yi is still receiving salary from the Qin State!" Yao Jia and Dun Ruo both breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the information sent by their subordinates.

Although Meng Yi is not as outstanding as Meng Tian, ​​he is also an equally outstanding young man.

"After all, Marquis Zhongyong has made great contributions to Bingzhou, so it is normal for him to be valued by Bingzhou. However, General Meng Yi is no less valuable!" Yao Jia took the lead in changing the subject.

Ying Zheng's eyes also lit up. There was a high probability that Meng Tian would not come back, but there were only two legitimate sons in the Meng family this generation, and it was impossible to put all the eggs in one basket.

Moreover, the Meng family has been a hereditary marquis since Meng Ao, so someone has to be left to inherit the title.

"General Meng..." Ying Zheng looked at Meng Wu, thinking about how to ask Meng Wu to recall Meng Yi.

He was really scared. If he let Meng Yi stay in Bingzhou any longer, he might never be able to come back.

Meng Wu also understood what Ying Zheng meant. Meng Tian and Meng Yi went to Bingzhou in the same year, leaving him as an elderly man left behind in Qin. He must have a child to come back and inherit the family business, right?

"Someone from the Meng family will eventually come back to inherit the family business!" Meng Wu gave an affirmative answer.

If the two brothers of the Meng family ran to Bingzhou and settled down in Bingzhou, would the King of Qin suspect that the Meng family was suspected of treason?

Therefore, Meng Yi did a good job and never received any salary from Bingzhou, which was equivalent to protecting Meng Wu and Meng Tian from disaster.

As for Meng Tian's choice, Meng Wu did not blame him.

He could see the resources Bingzhou poured into Meng Tian. If Meng Tian took Bingzhou's resources without any expression, he would be criticized by the scholars. From the king to the famous generals of Bingzhou, they personally led and taught Meng Tian. If he did not repay this kind of care and teaching, how would he be different from an ungrateful person?
If any scholar received such a favor, he would repay it with a gift of grass.

Ying Zheng also breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Wang Jian and Yang Duanhe. Not only did Qin send scholars to Bingzhou, but Bingzhou also sent scholars to Qin. So, is there a possibility that they could also keep half of Bingzhou's scholars?
Wang Jian and Yang Duanhe also understood Ying Zheng's meaning instantly, as they were not the kind of people who would suffer losses.

But education in Bingzhou is very difficult.

"I will do my best!" Wang Jian and Yang Duanhe knew how terrible the enlightenment education in Bingzhou was that could mislead people. Although they had sent many scholars to Qin to study, in the subconscious of these scholars, they all wanted to come to Qin to learn advanced knowledge and return to serve Bingzhou.

This made it extremely difficult for the Qin State to keep them.

Yan State, Jicheng.

King Xi of Yan, Lord Yan Chun, and Fan Yuqi all fell into silence as they read the battle reports from Bingzhou.

Unlike the Qin State, which did not know the authenticity of this great victory, as a country bordering the Donghu, they could clearly know the authenticity of this victory news from the changes at the border.

Even when Bingzhou did not send out a large-scale military force, they had already stationed troops to Tu He, ready to help Bingzhou when needed.

After all, when it comes to opportunistic strategic vision, Yan State is truly unique in the world.

If Bingzhou is defeated, they will take the opportunity to lend a hand. When Bingzhou's army arrives to support them, they will be able to happily join forces with Bingzhou to share a share of the Donghu.

However, the Yan State did not expect that Bingzhou could defeat the 300,000-strong army of Donghu with only 30,000 people and behead 170,000 people in three days.

This made the State of Yan feel a little regretful.

This time Bingzhou’s car was going too fast and they couldn’t even get on the bus!
"It's such a pity that I couldn't get on this chariot to Bingzhou!" King Xi of Yan said with some lack of interest.

Yan Chunjun and Fan Yuqi were both stunned. They were shocked by the terrifying Red Flame Cavalry and thought that King Yan was disappointed that such cavalry were not from Yan. However, they did not expect that King Yan was disappointed that he could not get on the car!
But after hearing what Prince Xi of Yan said, they came to their senses and seemed to really regret not being able to get on the bus.

If they had known earlier that the Bingzhou Red Flame Cavalry had such combat power that it could defeat the 300,000-strong Donghu army, they would not have deployed troops to Tu He to support Bingzhou, but would have deployed troops to Xiangping to seize the eastern territory of Donghu and establish another county.

"Missed it!" Yan Chunjun also sighed.

"I am guilty!" Fan Yuqi directly admitted his mistake.

"Who could have thought that you have committed no crime?" King Xi of Yan did not blame Fan Yuqi.

The decision to deploy troops and slaughter He was passed by the entire Yan State, so it cannot be said that Fan Yuqi made a wrong estimate.

What's more, 300,000 people fought against 30,000, and were completely wiped out. They were cavalry at that. Who would believe it if you told others about it?
If he blames his own general for this matter, then he is not worthy of being the king of Yan.

As the king of Yan State, he actually has the most vicious vision among the princes.

It’s just that he always manages to perform the worst operations at the right time and in the right place.

Handan.

"Three hundred thousand against thirty thousand, and one hundred and seventy thousand were annihilated in three days. Do you know how to play it?"

The scholars in Handan were also in an uproar.

As the most violent and righteous scholars in the land of Yan and Zhao, they admire the strong, the use of force, and understand war best. But if 300,000 are fighting against 30,000, and they are cavalry, won't they just run away if they can't win?

This great victory made the righteous men in Zhao feel some sympathy for the Donghu.

But one thing is beyond doubt, that is, the Red Flame Cavalry became another pinnacle existence in the world and in the military after the Wei Wuzu.
