General Qin

As the highest military officer of Qin State, Wei Liao bluntly stated in front of Zhao Tuo that this time Li Xin's battle against Chu was not only difficult to win, but also had the possibility of failure.

This is almost bad news on the spot, which runs counter to the current political correctness of the entire Qin State. If it is spread, it may arouse the anger of the King of Qin.

But it also proved from the other side that Wei Liao had full trust in Zhao Tuo, so he said this in front of him.

In other words, the reason Wei Liao did this was because of a certain purpose.

Seeing Zhao Tuo bowed his head and remained silent.

Wei Liao said with a smile: "Look, as Li Xin's 'arm', seeing me say this, I didn't refute it on the spot. I knew that you also thought the same way in your heart. Although you are young, you are quite mature in your actions. For This time, Li Xin's attack on Chu is not optimistic."

Seeing that he was seen through, Zhao Tuo nodded and said, "The state of Chu is too big. It is bordered by the sea in the east and Baiyue in the south. Although it has been defeated repeatedly for decades, the land is still thousands of miles away, and its heritage of 800 years is still there. It is really difficult to destroy Chu with 200,000 people."

Wei Liao sighed: "If an old general is the commander and leads two hundred thousand people to attack Chu, even if it is difficult to destroy the country, I think it will be like Wang Ben when he was old, gaining many cities, or interacting with the Chu people. The stalemate is not a big problem on the whole. But in the past six months, I think that Li Xin has acted more and more rashly, and he is not a suitable candidate for the coach."

Following Wei Liao's explanation, Zhao Tuo also understood the other party's worries.

Back then, at the celebration banquet for Qin Wangzheng returning from defeating Yan, he decided on the spot to let Li Xin be the main general and lead 200,000 troops to destroy Chu.

Although Wei Liao knew something was wrong at the time, he would not speak up on the spot to damage Qin Wangzheng's face in such a celebration occasion.

Although Qin Wangzheng is the master of the world and listens to the opinions of his ministers, his character has always been domineering. Once he thinks it is feasible and makes a decision, it is difficult for others to change it.

Especially after destroying several countries in a row, his mentality became more and more arrogant, thinking that it would not be difficult to destroy Chu.

Not only the king, but even Li Si, Kui Zhuang, Yao Jia and other important ministers who are not good at military are all dazzled by successive victories, and they are all optimistic about this battle.

Later, Wang Jian retired to his hometown.

Wei Liao wisely kept his mouth shut, and while coordinating the domestic military and preparing for the attack on Chu, he observed the situation of Li Xin and the entire Qin State as the commander, hoping that his judgment was wrong.

As a result, he found that in today's Qin State, everyone from top to bottom is in a state of arrogance. Since Li Mu's death, Qin State's consecutive victories for several years have already made Qin people forget the danger of war.

In today's state of Qin, the people of Qin, from the king of Qin to the bottom, have all forgotten.

War can be defeated.

Li Xin, as the coach, is even more courageous, but reckless and warlike. As a fierce general, he is okay, but as the commander-in-chief who leads the war of destroying the country, he is far from good.

The troops conscripted are not enough to destroy Chu, the kings and generals are arrogant and arrogant, the commander is reckless and warlike, and the enemy is still a country of ten thousand chariots eight hundred years old.

As a master of the art of war, Wei Liao, after careful analysis, found that the Qin State was already showing signs of failure before it started to conquer.

He had personally approached Qin Wangzheng for advice, hoping that Qin Wangzheng would be more cautious in this war, but although the proud Qin Wangzheng said yes, the arrogance in his eyes let Wei Liao know that his advice was useless .

Zhao Tuo knew where Wei Liao's exhaustion came from.

As a lieutenant who is in charge of a country's military, he can only watch helplessly as this country is about to fight a war that is likely to fail. This feeling of knowing the outcome but being unable to save it is really tormenting.

"Even Duke Wei can't convince the king, and I, a mere general, can't do anything about it either."

Zhao Tuo spread his hands, he could feel Wei Liao's helplessness, so yesterday he only dared to work hard on the lieutenant general, and he didn't dare to mention Li Xin's matter at all.

Wei Liao said in a deep voice: "No one can persuade the king today, but Li Xin may change a thing or two. You were called 'my arm' by Li Xin, and you were named by him to attack Chu together. It can be seen that he I love you very much in my heart, if you persuade me a little bit, maybe it will be of some help. When I go to the battlefield, I hope you can assist Li Xin, act prudently, and don't act rashly."

Zhao Tuo understood.

Wei Liao wanted to talk to him today because he wanted to find a solution from Li Xin through him.

Zhao Tuo couldn't help smiling wryly when he thought of Li Xin's proud and confident appearance in the army tent during the battle of destroying Yan.

That guy is hard to deal with.

"Zhao Tuo, do your best."

Watching the boy's figure walk out of the house.

Wei Liao sighed deeply, spread his legs, and no longer maintained the posture of being a captain of a country, but sat comfortably like he liked when he was young.

His eyes were in a trance, thinking of the appearance of Qin Wangzheng for the first time since Daliang first entered the Qin Kingdom.

When Qin Wangzheng first met Wei Liao and listened to his words, he knew that Wei Liao was a great talent in the world. He respected Wei Liao very much and often asked him. The same clothes and diet, wearing silk clothes and luxurious clothes, eating delicacies from mountains and seas, traveling on imperial horses and public transportation.

Such a posture, compared with the stupid appearance of the monarchs of the six countries, can be described as a clear current in the world, and can be called a wise monarch.

But Wei Liao was not confused by Qin Wangzheng's posture, he had made his own judgment on this respectful and corporal king in private.

"The king of Qin is a man, with accurate bee, long eyes, yīng, jackal voice, little kindness but a tiger-wolf heart, easy to make appointments, and easy to eat people when he is successful. I am a commoner, but I often see myself as myself. . Sincerely let the king of Qin achieve his ambitions in the world, and the world will be captured. You can't play with Jiuyou."

Wei Liao murmured, repeating his comments back then.

At that time, he knew that Qin Wangzheng was not a long-term friend, so he secretly prepared to leave Qin.

As a result, Qin Wangzheng found out about this matter, ordered someone to force him back, and treated Wei Liao with more humility.

"The widow has the ambition to unify the world and sweep the hearts of the six countries. I also ask the gentleman to be the captain of the state of Qin and take charge of the military affairs. The widow must obey my husband's words. I hope that the husband will not abandon the widow."

Qin Wangzheng's earnest voice still echoed in Wei Liao's ears.

At that time, Wei Liao didn't know whether he was moved by Qin Wangzheng's sincere attitude or attracted by Qin Guobangwei's position. He wanted to show what he had learned, so he stayed and served as Qin Guobangwei.

Wei Liao entered Qin, assisted Qin Wangzheng in reforming Qin's military system, and inherited and carried forward Lu Buwei's "Theory of Righteous Soldiers", which made Qin's war against the six countries more smooth, and now it has swallowed up more than half of the four countries. world.

Today's Qin State is no longer the Western country where Qin Wangzheng just came to power and the political situation was unstable.

Today's Qin Wangzheng is no longer the king who humbly asked for advice and respected the corporals.

"It's easy to get out of others, but it's easy to eat people when you are successful."

Today's Qin Wangzheng is just like what Wei Liao said in the past. After destroying several countries, he has already shown signs of arrogance and arrogance, and he can no longer listen to Wei Liao's good words.

If the whole world belongs to Qin, Qin Wangzheng will become the only king in the world.

In that world, who else can disobey the will of this king.

All the people in the world will become his subjects.

"King Qin is arrogant and doesn't listen to my words, so he can't stay here for long."

Thinking of this, Wei Liao felt exhausted all over his body. After so many years, he was actually tired too.

He remembered the time when he drank, sang, and danced with his friends in the Lilu wine shop in Daliang City.

He missed the familiar mountains, forests, ponds, water, soil and scenery in Weidi, and even the smiles of those women among Weidi's daughters-in-law.

As people get older, they will miss their homeland more and more.

Wei Liao looked up to the east, which was the direction of Daliang.

"Man Yu looks at the flow with his eyes, hoping to see when it will turn back. Birds fly back to their hometown, and a fox will die when it dies."

He murmured the words of "sorrow" that Doctor Sanlu said when he was exiled.

The Kingdom of Wei is gone, and Daliang is gone, but that piece of land is still Wei Liao's real hometown.

He called out to the house: "Wang Ao."

"The disciple is here."

Wang Ao walked in.

Wei Liao glanced at the familiar furnishings in the room, and sighed quietly: "I have the heart to leave Qin. After this attack on Chu, no matter the victory or defeat, I want to leave the post of Captain of the State. Are you willing to follow?"

Wang Ao cupped his hands and said, "Wherever the master goes, the disciple will go there."

Wei Liao smiled and said, "Good."

"Historical Records: The Chronicles of Qin Shihuang": Wei Liao, a native of Daliang, came... The king of Qin followed his plan. Liao said: "The king of Qin is a man with accurate bees, long eyes, twittering birds, jackals' voices, little kindness but a tiger-wolf heart, easy to get out of others, easy to eat people when he is successful. I am a commoner, but I see that I always go down to myself. Sincerely let the king of Qin achieve his ambitions in the world, and all the world will be captives. You can't go with Jiuyou." Nai died. Qin Wangjue, Gu Zhi, thought Qin Guowei, and died using his strategy.

According to the novelist's words ("Records of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty"): After Wei Liao's success, he and his disciple Wang Ao fled overnight.

Judging from the description in "Historical Records", with Wei Liao's character, the possibility of Li Qin is still relatively high.
