Qin Shi: Beginning as the first emperor's younger brother

Chapter 146 Qin Yan Attacks Zhao
The next day, early in the morning.

Inside the palace of King Zhao.

After the prostitute learned the news, the Yan State suppressed the country aggressively, intending to plot wrongdoing.

She was so anxious that she quickly summoned all the officials to discuss the matter.

General Zhao Cong, who just took office, entered the hall together with General Yan Ju.

Originally, Zhao Cong fled to a remote mountain village and lived in seclusion, for fear that after the defeat, the Zhao Kingdom would condemn him.

But I really didn't expect that not only was there no punishment, but I was also named a general.

Is this a blessing in disguise?
Li Mu spent half his life to climb up to the position, and he already got it when he was only [-] years old?
This is somewhat illusory feeling, even now, he has not reacted, and still feels that this is not realistic.

But it really happened like this.

The moment he stepped into the palace hall, he was full of spirits, and he was still thinking in his heart that it is estimated that the Zhao Kingdom in the next few decades will usher in its own era.

What about Li Mulianpo will forever become the past.

He still doesn't know yet that the Yan Kingdom has already stockpiled troops on the frontier.

He was surprised when he heard the prostitute tell the story.

Yan Guo made a move so soon?

"General, it's time for you to show your skills and bring back the shame of the Hangu Pass defeat!"

The prostitute got up and focused her eyes on him.

Zhao Cong hesitated.

He has not yet adapted to the status of a general, and he has no experience in commanding large corps in combat, and his opponent is Yandan. Combining all the circumstances, it is not easy to lead troops against Yan this time. He is really afraid of becoming Zhao including the second.

When the prostitute saw his expression, she frowned immediately, and said in a deep voice, "General! Don't you want to lead the army to resist the invasion of Yan?"

Zhao Cong didn't dare to hesitate any longer, bowed his head and said, "I accept orders!"

Seeing his appearance like this, the prostitute felt a little uneasy.

Yan State claims to have assembled an army of 30, but the number of soldiers who can actually fight the enemy is only 15.

So for Zhao Cong's trip, the queen is only willing to give him a hundred thousand troops.

After all, Zhao Guo really doesn't have many troops anymore.

The matter was urgent, Zhao Cong received the edict and immediately left the palace to dispatch troops and generals.

After the court meeting dissipated, the prostitute asked Zhao Qian to be taken away to rest, but she deliberately kept Chunping Jun.

Because there were still many guards in the hall, the latter did not do anything excessive to her.

"Your Majesty specifically asked me to value Zhao Cong, but I don't seem to have much confidence in him." The prostitute was worried.

Mr. Chunping is also not very optimistic about that Zhao Cong, "He is too young, we can't repeat Zhao Kuo's mistakes, the current Zhao country can't afford to lose."

"What do you mean?" the prostitute asked curiously.

Chunping Jun said solemnly: "Feng Lian is a great Sima, let him return to Handan from Wei State, as long as he is in charge of Zhao State, we can rest easy."

The prostitute frowned and said: "But that old guy, can we trust him?"

Jun Ping smiled and said, "This Lian Po is not like Li Mu, he knows how to advance and retreat. Back then, Lin Xiangru was very powerful in the state of Zhao, and Lian Po inadvertently offended him. He was afraid that he would plot against him afterwards, so he took the blame for it. I beg Lin Xiangru to forgive me, judging from this matter, Lian Po is not a pedantic person."

Lian Po is indeed different from Li Mu.

Even if the latter offended the king, he would not give in.

But the former will pay more attention to fame and fortune, and even fight with others because of their own interests.

But it is undeniable that both of them are very capable.

There is also a more important point, Lian Po and Guo Kai are at odds, Chunping Jun wants Lian Po to return to Zhao, in fact, he wants Lian Po to help him deal with Guo Kai after the power of Lian Po rises.

After Zhao Qian ascended the throne, he and Lian Po squeezed Guo Kai away, and then he concentrated on dealing with Lian Po, an old guy who was mostly buried in the soil, so from now on, the entire Zhao country had to listen to him.

As for Zhao Cong, he is too immature, so there is no need to worry about it.

When the former led an army of [-] to the frontier, Lian Po also received the imperial edict and was packing up his things and planning to return to Handan.

At his age, with gray hair, and being able to sit in the position of Da Sima, it is already a death without regret.

Daliang City.

Lian Po's temporary residence.

Before setting off, he said to his son: "You don't have to go for my father on this trip. Remember, if you hear that your father died on the battlefield or in the country of Zhao, you must not go there. Go to Handan to avenge your father, and live well."

Lian Fu burst into tears, "My child obeys."

As long as it was Lian Po's words, no matter what it was, he dared not object.

Even though he knew that his father's life and death were uncertain during this trip, he didn't dare to say anything more.

When Lian Po left home, he didn't look back.

His eldest son, Lian Fu, knelt in the street.

Even after Lian Po walked away, he still didn't get up, which attracted many people watching, but he was unmoved.

His father is old, and as the eldest son in the family, he still relies on his father to earn fame and fortune, but cannot support him until he grows old. How can he be reconciled in this heart?How can I get by?

Xianyang.

Champion House.

Meng Tian sat in front of Ying Yuan, with a tall and straight figure, appearing more serious, not daring to relax.

This is the first time that Ying Yuan has come to Champion Hou's mansion after he got married.

So it's a bit restrictive.

Moreover, today is to talk about business again.

Ying Yuan was playing with the Zhenyue Sword in his hand, and it seemed that he was reluctant to let go, so he left Meng Tian aside for the time being.

At this time, Tian Zhen brought a plate of cakes that she personally made, put them on the stone table, glanced at Ying Yuan, and said with a smile: "Didn't you talk about General Meng Tian all the time these few days? Why is he here, why are you here?" On the contrary, you don't care about people?"

Before Ying Yuan could say anything, Meng Tian blurted out: "Sister-in-law, I am serious."

They have always been called brothers in the army, so they called Tian Zhen, he didn't want to appear too ostentatious.

This is also because he is afraid that Ying Yuan will secretly guess something in his heart.

After all, he was still under the command of Champion Hou some time ago, and now he has become the king's trusted general.

It is estimated that in the heart of the former, there is still some concern.

"Almost forgot the business."

Ying Yuan put the Zhenyue Sword in front of him, pushed the cakes and desserts in front of him towards Meng Tian, ​​and said with a smile: "Try this first, your sister-in-law likes to think about all kinds of food when she has nothing to do on weekdays."

"Thank you, Lord."

Meng Tian was not too polite, after all, he was somewhat hungry after sitting for a long time.

Tian Zhen didn't leave, but sat beside Ying Yuan.

Because the latter said that Meng Tian's visit today is a family feast, so there is no need to avoid anything.

Husband and wife should have nothing to say.

After all, Tian Zhen is different from other women, she is really Ying Yuan's good wife.

There are so many government matters, even Ying Yuan has to listen to her opinions.

After Meng Tian ate several cakes in a row, Ying Yuan asked, "I will lead the troops to Hangu in the future. Do you have confidence in this battle?"

The former replied solemnly: "As long as Lord Hou and the king discuss what kind of result they want, Meng Tian will surely achieve it immediately."

"it is good!"

Ying Yuan laughed loudly and said, "Qin State needs generals like you. Your talents are inferior to those of Wang Ben and Li Xin. This time you are leading the army alone. This is an opportunity that must be grasped well. This Marquis will Let Li Tong go with you, he is the vanguard, you two had a good relationship when you were in Longxi, he can help you."

Meng Tian didn't think much about it.

In fact, this is a selfish intention of Ying Yuan.

It can be expected that if the trip goes well, the credit will be guaranteed.

Meng Tian can't take all the credit for such a big contribution.

Li Tong is loyal to himself, and when encountering things, even if it is a matter of life and death, he will never hesitate.

A subordinate like this should be given more opportunities.

"This time, if possible, I will pull out some of Zhao's city gates. If there is a chance, I will simply go straight in. There is a saying that you must understand, you will be outside, and your life will not be tolerated."

Ying Yuan speaks earnestly.

Meng Tian nodded, "Your Majesty, don't worry, this trip will definitely open up the territory for Great Qin!"

Ying Yuan smiled, still reluctantly picked up the Zhenyue Sword, and after thinking for a moment, he handed the sword to Meng Tian.

The latter wondered: "This is?"

The former opened his mouth and said: "This is Li Mu's sword, named Zhenyue, and it is the sword of the princes. Although this sword is not ranked in the sword manual, it is a peerless divine sword. Today, I am the master, and I will use this sword I present it to you, and I hope that in the future, you will achieve achievements beyond Li Mu's."
