Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 527
"Since your Majesty left South Vietnam, he has sent hundreds of thousands of soldiers back to the countryside. It is better to recruit 20 young and strong soldiers, which should be enough to guard the land of Yan!" At this time, another minister suggested.

Since Ziying came out of South Vietnam, the army defeated and captured was at least hundreds of thousands. It should not be difficult to recruit 20 troops from it.

Because now Daqin's troops fighting outside the Chu State are only the Mengtian Army and Zhang Han Army in the north. Although the addition of 20 troops is a bit tight, it can barely bear it.

"The people are the foundation of the country, and it is not appropriate to recruit young men again after years of war!" However, Ziying immediately rejected this suggestion.

In the final analysis, the soldiers who surrendered before were all peasants who could not survive or were directly coerced into the army.

Nowadays, it is not an exaggeration to say that Daqin is riddled with holes. Farms and acres have suffered huge losses in the continuous years of war, and these released young and strong are the main productive forces to resume production as soon as possible.

Therefore, after Ziying attacked Han, Zhao, Weiyan and other countries, except for some of the captured soldiers of the four countries who were sent to South Vietnam to open up wasteland, most of them returned to their hometowns.

Therefore, recruiting troops from the people again, Ziying is not prepared to do so unless it is absolutely necessary.

After Ziying rejected the proposal to recruit troops again, it seemed that the only way left was to make peace with the Chu army temporarily.

However, Ziying at this moment does have other considerations.

Looking up at the room full of civil servants and generals, Ziying suddenly said: "Hulu, why not be afraid of them! 5 people are enough to protect Yanzhao."

When all the ministers heard Ziying's words, none of them dared to respond. What Ziying meant was that they were not going to increase the Qin army in Yanzhao land, so that the current number of infantry was less than [-] to fight against the Xiongnu's more than [-] cavalry.

With such a big gap, even if they could recruit some soldiers on the spot in Yanzhao, they couldn't stop so many cavalry.

Just when all the generals were afraid to answer, a figure suddenly walked out of the queue.

Everyone took a closer look, and it turned out that the present general of the Qin Army, Han Xin, came out.

For a period of time, Han Xin has proved his ability with a series of victories, and now no one dares to laugh and underestimate this young man.

"Your Majesty, I wish to go to Yanzhao." Han Xin said to Ziying.

"Oh, are you sure?" Ziying asked with a smile.

"Fifty thousand is enough to refuse them. If your Majesty and his ministers have a hundred thousand people, they can run rampant among the Huns!" Han Xin said confidently.

According to Han Xin, the [-] Qin army in the land of Yanzhao was able to block the attack of more than [-] cavalry from the Huns.

The seemingly arrogant declaration, but no one dared to laugh out loud at this time, even a few veterans just stared at it silently.

Because when he attacked Zhao before, Han Xin had already achieved the feat of breaking 3 Zhao troops with 20 people. At that time, everyone who laughed at him had already slapped himself in the face.

So at the moment when Han Xin said that he could block the attack of 10,000+ Hun cavalry with [-] Qin soldiers, not only did no one laugh at some generals, they even had a lot of confidence in their hearts.

And this is also the confidence in the soldiers of Daqin!

"General Han is planning to destroy Chu with all his heart, and I have someone to go north to defend against the enemy."

It is a big taboo for military strategists to change generals before the battle. So far, Han Xin has basically been in control of the war plan against Chu. Without the Bingxian sitting in charge, Ziying worried that others would not be able to control the overlord of Chu.

"Where is Li Zuoche?" After speaking, Ziying asked Wen Wu who was full of people in the room.

At this time, Li Zuoche had become Han Xin's right-hand man. Under Han Xin's recommendation, Ziying also appointed him as a general to assist Han Xin in attacking Chu.

"The minister is here!" Hearing Ziying's words, Li Zuoche responded immediately.

Seeing that Ziying had called Li Zuoche's name, all the ministers immediately started talking.

The content of the discussion is nothing more than that Li Zuoche is Zhao Guojiang's general and should not be trusted easily.Moreover, Li Zuoche didn't seem to have any combat achievements that could be taken out, and everyone had some doubts about his strength.

However, no one dared to question Ziying's words face to face. With Ziying's prestige now, he appointed an ordinary person who no one had heard of to lead the army. I am afraid that all the officials would think that this was a step that the emperor like Han Xin buried long ago. piece.

"Lingzu should be over sixty years old, right?" Who knew that after Li Zuoche came out, Ziying suddenly brought the topic to Li Zuoche's grandfather.

Who doesn't know Li Zuoche's grandfather, but he was the military god of Zhao Guo back then. If Li Mu didn't exist, Qin Guo might be able to attack Zhao Guo several years earlier.

It wasn't until King Zhao fell victim to Ziying's divorce scheme that he was innocently killed, and the country of Zhao, which had lost its pillar, was destroyed by Daqin.

"If the family ancestor is alive, he should be four out of sixty now!" Li Zuoche replied calmly.

Although the answer was calm, Li Zuoche's heart was not so calm, because Ziying's words directly said that Li Mu should have passed his sixtieth year, and his tone did not seem to be talking about an ancestor.

What Li Zuoche was worried about was whether Ziying knew that his grandfather was still alive.

It is not an exaggeration to know that my grandfather said that it was the biggest obstacle to the unification of the Great Qin. If Emperor Qin knew that his grandfather was still alive, it would probably be against his grandfather.

Soon Ziying's next sentence confirmed Li Zuoche's guess.

"It's been more than ten years, General Li is fine!" Ziying said calmly as if remembering an old friend.

"The family ancestor lived in seclusion for more than ten years, and has long since ignored world affairs. First, he resisted the heavenly army for Zhao, but each is his own master. I also ask your majesty to be sympathetic to the family ancestor's old age, and be lenient." Hearing this, Li Zuoche immediately thumped Kneeling down on the ground, he said with a terrified expression: "As soon as the guilt is met, Zuo Che is willing to take his place!"

At this moment, the main hall was so quiet that one could hear a needle drop to the ground, it was a bit terrifyingly quiet.

Everyone stared at Li Zuoche who was kneeling on the ground.

"Li Mu is already alive!"

Li Mu was recognized as the God of War back then, everyone thought that Li Mu had already died, but unexpectedly this legendary figure was still alive!

And according to the emperor, Ziying should have known the news that Li Mu was alive a long time ago.

Seeing Li Zuoche's performance, Ziying immediately understood that Li Mu probably didn't inform Li Zuoche of the agreement he had with him back then.

After all, Li Zuoche was only born not long ago, so it is impossible to remember what happened that year.

"It seems that General Li didn't tell you what happened back then!" Ziying glanced at the panicked Li Zuoche and said, "In the past, the king of Zhao was incompetent and the people had no way of life. General Li was sick, but King Zhao didn't believe it.

Lonely and slightly alienated, King Zhao actually destroyed the Great Wall and ordered General Li Mu and his family to be killed.

Although I am an enemy, I also respect the righteousness of the general, so I ordered the general and his family to be rescued and placed in Raoyang, my former fiefdom.

First, I made an appointment with the general that besides the war in the Central Plains, I can go out of the mountains to help me. "

After saying this, Ziying suddenly reached into his bosom, took out half of the jade pendant and handed it to Li Zuoche, who was a little sluggish, and continued: "This is a keepsake, and the other half should be in the hands of Lingzu."

Seeing the half piece of jade pendant that Ziying took out, although Li Mu never mentioned this past to him, Li Zuoche already believed Ziying's words.

One is that Ziying is now the emperor, and there is no need to do this when he knows that Li Mu is not dead. If he wants to kill the grass and roots, he will just send someone to kill him and his family.

Second, he had actually seen the other half of this jade pendant, it was in the hands of his grandfather Li Mu, and he played with it several times when he was a child.

"Order Li Mu to be the former general of the Great Qin Dynasty, and Li Zuoche to be the deputy general to command the Yanzhao Qin army to fight against the Xiongnu!" Ziying ordered after handing the jade pendant to Li Zuoche.

It wasn't until this time that the civil and military ministers in the palace understood what had happened. It turned out that the emperor not only knew about Li Mu's death, but also that Li Mu was rescued by Ziying back then, and he subdued Li Mu back then.

In the eyes of the Daqin ministers today, Li Muchen must have surrendered to Ziying back then, and that's why he agreed to fight for Daqin.

One must know how old Ziying was, but in his early ten years, he was able to tame a famous general like Li Mu. The ability of the third emperor is really scary.

Now everyone is finally relieved, with Li Mu going north, the Xiongnu have nothing to fear.

You must know that Li Mu used to fight the Xiongnu in the three northern counties of Zhao State for more than ten years and dared not go south to herd herds, and he once resisted the Great Qin with his own strength for several years.
