General Qin

"Appointment as general today, assign the positions of generals in the army!"

Li Xin's general order was conveyed in the barracks and sent to the hands of many concubine elders and five great officials.

After accepting the axe and tiger talisman bestowed by Qin Wangzheng.

Li Xin justifiably obtained the command of the 200,000 Qin army.

However, he did not immediately lead the Guanzhong elite gathered in the barracks to leave the pass and join the Qin army waiting in Weidi, but stayed in the camp for several days.

The so-called soldiers must be ordered first.

If the system is established first, the scholars will not be chaotic, and if the scholars are not chaotic, the form will be clear.

The first is to arrange the ranks of the soldiers, just like when Zhao Tuo first joined the army, divide the soldiers into groups according to their places of origin, let them know their superiors, and at the same time provide them with simple training.

Because most of the recruits this time were veterans of Guanzhong, and everyone had military experience, the process was very short and took only two days to complete. After the completion of the formation, the Qin army could already carry out long-distance marches and simple formations.

In addition to organizing the lower-level soldiers, the upper-level generals must also start to appoint positions, just like when Huan Zhao appointed and dismissed the two or five hundred masters and five hundred masters under him during the crusade against Wei.

This time, the commander-in-chief of Fachu is Li Xin, and the deputy will be Meng Wu.

The remaining position of General Pi was also appointed after discussion between the Bangwei Mansion and the head coach.

General Pi Xin Wu, in his forties, was a warrior from the Xin clan, and he came from the same sect as General Xin Sheng who defeated Yan. A few years ago, he led his troops to join the Wei army and attack Chu. He is quite familiar with the situation in the lands of Wei and Chu, and was recommended by Wei Liao as a candidate for the general.

General Yang Yuan, nearly forty years old, came from the Yang family. He was a descendant of the famous general Yang Duan and he was of the same family as Yang Xiong.

Both of them are the backbone of the Qin army, so it is reasonable to be appointed as General Pi. In addition, the remaining generals of Pi will continue to be served by the original subordinates of Wang Ben, keeping the previous establishment unchanged, still stationed at Wei Di.

As for the appointment and removal of posts in the military account today, they are mainly concentrated on the two middle and senior general positions of the school lieutenant and military marquis of the Guanzhong Army.

The school lieutenant commanded one department and under the jurisdiction of the two armies, a total of ten thousand people.

The military waiters lead a song, a total of 5,000 people.

At this moment, Zhao Tuo and many colleagues received the commander's military order and were walking towards the commander's camp.

"Master Zhao Shu, you have made great achievements in defeating Yan and Wei, and you are also the title of You Shuchang. This time, you will definitely become a school lieutenant. I can congratulate you in advance."

A military general with a beard and a beard on his head cupped his hands and laughed at Zhao Tuo, and the people around him also laughed and complimented him.

"Brother Sima was joking, Zhao Tuo is young, he can be a military officer, and dare to ask for the post of captain. I think Brother Sima is heroic and heroic, and he has the arrogance of Sima Gong to destroy Shu. A school lieutenant."

Zhao Tuo responded modestly.

His name was Sima Liang, and he also came from a family of generals in the Qin State.

His ancestor was Sima Cuo, the famous general who led the battle to destroy Shu during King Qin Hui's time. Sima's family was born as a general for generations. Therefore, although Sima Liang is only in his thirties, he has already inherited the title of his ancestors. Like Zhao Tuo, he is the elder of the right concubine.

At this moment, when Zhao Tuo mentioned that he had the heroic appearance of his ancestors, Sima Liang burst out laughing, and jokingly said, "Good Zhao Tuo, you are quite good at talking and complimenting others. But do you think we don't know the relationship between you and General Li?" No way? With the arm of General Li, in this large army, how could he not be a school lieutenant."

"Yes, yes, Zhao Tuo will be the captain this time."

Everyone laughed, showing kindness to Zhao Tuo.

Few high-ranking generals at the level of Shuchang and Wu Dafu were born in the common people in the head of Guizhou. Most of them came from various generals or ancient famous clans. Therefore, most of these people can distinguish the situation and know who should be friends with each other. .

Although Zhao Tuo was young, everyone knew that this son was valued by the king, and he was Li Xin's old subordinate. Even if he didn't try to curry favor with him, he wouldn't easily offend him.

But the contradictions between people always exist in every social circle, and it is a difficult thing to eliminate. Just when the atmosphere was peaceful, an untimely voice came.

"A sixteen-year-old school captain has never been heard of since ancient times. Handing 10,000 horses into the hands of a child, hehe, it's really a joke. I don't believe that General Mengwu will agree to this!"

When Sima Liang heard this, he was about to refute. However, looking back, seeing the appearance of the person who spoke, he immediately showed a strange expression.

Li You.

Li You was staring at Zhao Tuo with red eyes at this moment. Originally, he only wanted to make good contributions after joining the army, and had no intention of fighting Zhao Tuo, but when he really heard someone praise Zhao Tuo, the fire of jealousy in his heart Still couldn't help burning up, the words blurted out.

When the others saw this scene, they also shut up, their eyes moved back and forth on Zhao Tuo and Li You, and some even showed excitement.

Do it!

At this tense moment, Zhao Tuo's face was calm, and he said with a faint smile: "Brother Li is really right."

Then, he turned around and walked towards the handsome tent.

Everyone was a little disappointed. They thought that Zhao Tuo was young and hot-blooded. He would immediately refute Li You's provocation and put on a big show. They didn't expect the ending to be so boring.

However, Li You's face was flushed red, looking at Zhao Tuo's back, he gritted his teeth.

Brother Li.

He actually called me Brother Li!

At that time in the palace, I was respected as Li Hujiang, and I was called a subordinate official.

Now, they are talking about Brother Li instead of honorable titles like Li Shuzhang. If the title is really high, they don't take me seriously!

Zhao Tuo didn't take Li You's provocation seriously.

At this moment, the battle of defeating Chu had already begun, and when he was on the battlefield, his life would be in danger if he was not careful. Zhao Tuo was full of thoughts on how to break the situation, so he didn't have the heart to engage in such little tricks of fighting with Li You.

"What Sima Liang said still makes sense. My title is already enough to be a captain. As long as Li Xin nods, I might really be able to become a captain this time. I just don't know Meng Wu..."

...

"Zhao Tuo is too young. Although he has the experience of being a military officer, it is not easy to command a group of ten thousand people. It must be a veteran in the battlefield. General Yang said just now that Zhao Tuo should be I am afraid that the matter of the captain still needs to be discussed."

In the handsome tent, Meng Wu said lightly.

As several school lieutenants were successively appointed, when it was the turn of the last school lieutenant, General Yang Yuan recommended Zhao Tuo, the right concubine. this proposal.

Hearing this, there was silence in the handsome tent, Li Xin sat on the chief seat, squinting his eyes at Meng Wu.

He really had the idea of ​​making Zhao Tuo the school captain, but Meng Wu was a veteran, and he was discussing friendship with Li Xin's parents, Meng Wu now vetoed it out loud, and Li Xin was also a bit difficult to handle.

The Montessori veteran was not afraid, and responded to Li Xin's gaze with his calm eyes.

Logically speaking, Li Xin had the power to decide the appointment, but when Yang Yuan's voice fell, Meng Wu expressed his opinion without waiting for Li Xin to speak, just to block the idea of ​​appointing Zhao Tuo as the school captain.

With Li Xin's personality and Zhao Tuo's sufficient title, it is very likely that he will be appointed as a school captain.

This is too risky for Meng Wu who has always been prudent.

Especially the enemy is still the huge state of Chu, let a teenage boy control thousands of soldiers, this is a joke.

Seeing that Meng Wu vetoed the proposal, General Pi Yang Yuan looked at Zhao Tuo with some embarrassment.

Zhao Tuo returned a grateful smile.

He reckoned that the reason why Yang Yuan recommended him was firstly because he wanted to make friends with Li Xin, and secondly because Yang Xiong, Zhao Tuo and the Yang family had a good relationship, and they could barely be regarded as his own. But I didn't expect to meet Meng Wu just now.

Li Xin was not angry about this. After all, Meng Wu vetoed Yang Yuan's proposal, and he didn't contradict him on the spot, and it didn't count as compromising his prestige.

He maintained the demeanor of a general, and said indifferently: "What does General Xin think about this?"

Xin Wu's eyelids twitched, but he was considered a veteran in the battlefield, and he came from a famous family, so he was not afraid of Li Xin, so he said: "The general thinks that General Meng's words are very prudent."

"General Meng."

Li Xin's eyes moved to Meng Wu again.

Meng Wu said calmly: "The grandson of Wu has a saying, soldiers, the great affairs of the country, the place of death and life, the way of survival, must be investigated. And the generals are also the assistants of the country. If you assist Zhou, the country will be strong, and if you assist the gap, the country will be weak. "

"At present, defeating Chu is a major event for the country, and the battlefield is a place of life and death. How important is a ten thousand people? Although Zhao Tuo has military talent, he is too young after all, and there are still Youshu in the camp There are several people with the title of long title, all of whom are veterans in the battlefield, I think it is more suitable for them to be captains than Zhao Tuo."

Hearing this, Li Xin frowned.

All the people in the tent made eye contact with each other, and Li You even showed joy, staring at Zhao Tuo gloatingly.

Zhao Tuo was dumbfounded.

Why is what Meng Wu said so familiar?

Inside and outside the words are saying that he is not stable enough and mature enough, it is best to replace it with an old future.

Isn't this the rhetoric I used when I persuaded Qin Wangzheng to change generals?

Seeing Meng Wu's objection, Zhao Tuo reckoned that he would not be a captain this time, and he was inevitably a little bit disappointed. But then, he reacted.

Isn't the situation in front of you the effect you want?

The reason why Zhao Tuo persuaded Qin Wangzheng to replace Meng Tian with Meng Wu was because he wanted this veteran to assist and restrain Li Xin!

With Meng Wu watching, let Li Xin not to underestimate the enemy and rush into the battlefield, even if Lord Changping is behind to make trouble, he will not be defeated so badly.

Thinking of this, Zhao Tuo's eyes lit up, and he became a little excited.

That's it!

General Mengwu, you did a good job!

It is to restrain Li Xin's recklessness in this way, it is to turn against the customer and suppress Li Xin to death!

In this way, not to mention the victory over Chu this time, at least the chance of survival has greatly increased.

Compared with this, the post of captain seems insignificant.

Thinking of this, Zhao Tuo stood up immediately, cupped his hands and said: "The general thinks that General Meng's words are very true. Zhao Tuo is young and has little experience in the battlefield. He still needs to learn how to use troops from the princes. The position of a lieutenant is very important. Zhao Tuo is definitely not competent, so I ask the generals to choose a good general to take over."

Following these words, everyone's eyes fell on Zhao Tuo.

Li Xin's stiff face softened.

Everyone knows that Zhao Tuo is his arm. Although Yang Yuan suggested it, it is also his own wish to appoint him as the school captain. But now he encountered Meng Wu's obstruction, if the appointment was forced, it would make Meng Wu feel uncomfortable.

Although Li Xin was proud, he didn't want to cause conflicts with his father like Meng Wu because of this kind of thing. After all, before the war started, the chief general and the deputy generals would have disagreements, which was a sure way to lose.

And if Li Xin listened to Meng Wu's dissuasion and gave up appointing Zhao Tuo, he would lose his prestige in front of the generals, making people feel that the leader of his mighty 200,000-strong army was actually taken by Meng Wu. tolerated.

Just between these two difficulties, Zhao Tuo voluntarily declined. In this way, Li Xin was given a step down. It will neither conflict with Meng Wu, nor make people feel that he is afraid of Meng Wu.

Zhao Tuo is really a caring person, he has always been so sensible and never made himself feel bad.

Li Xin looked at Zhao Tuo with gentle eyes, and even felt a little guilty in his heart.

We must make up for this kid in the future.

Meng Wu next to him also looked at Zhao Tuo with a surprised face. He has been stationed in the army all year round and has never heard of Zhao Tuo's name. After returning to Xianyang, he only knew that he was a young man who was good at doing meritorious service and was favored by the king.

When I saw him today, I knew that Zhao Tuo was really a character. If it were someone else who was rejected by him in public, I'm afraid his face would have been full of anger. How could Zhao Tuo stand up and calmly admit that he was young and inexperienced.

Regardless of whether this is Zhao Tuo's inner thoughts or not, it is enough to show his calmness and maturity.

In comparison, Meng Tian who lost his composure when he heard that he was serving as a lieutenant in the main hall seemed a little immature, not as good as this young man in terms of state of mind.

As expected of someone the king values, this son deserves attention.

Meng Wu also looked at Zhao Tuo approvingly.

"Since that's the case, Sima Liang will take up the post of school lieutenant. Zhao Tuo, it's better to be a military officer of Renqu."

Li Xin said, this time, Meng Wu did not speak.

"The last general, Sima Liang, will definitely live up to the general's expectations!"

Sima Liang's face was full of excitement, and he promised loudly.

At the same time, he couldn't help looking at Zhao Tuo who was on the side, and secretly praised him in his heart.

This Zhao Tuo is a good man!

Sima Liang knew in his heart that although Meng Wu said that Zhao Tuo was no good, the real commander of the army was Li Xin, who had the ax bestowed by the king in his hand. Wu couldn't stop it either.

Now that Zhao Tuo voluntarily backed down, he ruled out the possibility of Li Xin's intervention, and made Sima Liang the last captain. Thinking about it, he was a little grateful.

All the people in the tent have different expressions.

Only Li You sneered secretly in his heart.

What a cunning boy, when he saw General Meng Wu vetoing you, he took advantage of the situation to give way, so he would not lose face, he was indeed very cunning.

At this moment, Zhao Tuo spoke again.

"General, I have something to ask at the end."

"speak."

"It was the limit for the last general to be able to train a single army in Wei in the past. If he were to train new soldiers now, he might not be capable enough. It would take a long time and delay the general's plan to attack Chu. Please also allow me to , leading the troops in Weidi."

After Zhao Tuo finished speaking, he bowed his head and pleaded for orders.

Many people in the tent showed puzzled expressions on their faces.

Especially Li You, a young general who had never been to the battlefield, even showed a sneer.

You must know that among the tens of thousands of troops of the Qin State, the Guanzhong Army is the most elite. They have fought on the battlefield for generations, and have been most influenced by Qin Fa and military meritorious deeds. After entering the battlefield, their combat effectiveness far exceeds that of soldiers in other newly conquered areas. They are truly good soldiers. .

This Zhao Tuo, who wanted the elites of the five thousand passes, actually went to ask for those miscellaneous troops in Weidi. Even if he had trained for a while, so what, could he still be compared with the elites of Guanzhong?

Is this kid stupid?

Compared with the doubts of those young generals, veteran generals such as Meng Wu and Xin Wu seemed to be moved.

This kid knows the soldiers.

The so-called battlefield, the new is not as good as the old, I want to train thousands of soldiers from not knowing each other to obeying their own orders, so that orders are prohibited. I don't know how much effort will be put in during this process. It involves various methods such as Liwei and Lishi, and it takes a lot of time to get used to it.

Now that Qin and Chu have declared war, the situation on the battlefield changes rapidly. Every soldier may be sent to fight on the battlefield at any time. How can there be so much training time for them.

At a time like this, to have a team of veterans brought out by oneself under his command is better than any elite. After all, the subordinates I have personally trained can put on whatever posture they want to put on the battlefield, and they can do whatever they say, and they are really handy to use.

"Okay, I'll be sure."

Faced with this request, Li Xin naturally agreed.

Meng Wu didn't speak, but the admiration in his eyes became more intense.

"Thank you General."

Zhao Tuo bowed his hands in thanks, with a smile on his face.

The stone in his heart finally fell.

Shejian, Heiyu, Zhao Guang, Bai Rong and other old subordinates, as well as the soldiers brought out by him will all return to his command.

Although the number is only 5,000, it is definitely more useful than 10,000 soldiers who have to start over.

In this way, he, Zhao Tuo, followed Li Xin to attack Chu, and his chances of survival would increase a lot.

Of course, what really made Zhao Tuo hopeful was the calm veteran in the camp.

General Meng Wu, it's up to you, you must restrain Li Xin!

...

After the appointment of the school lieutenants and military marquises of the various departments of the Qin Army, and the formation of the lower-level soldiers, they set off from camp.

The elite of the fifty-thousand pass, with flags unfurled, and spears and halberds like a forest, lined up in a long black dragon.

Starting from Lantian Camp, head eastward.

At the same time, the dispatch order issued by the commander-in-chief of the army was also under the fast horse, marching towards Weidi.

It will be passed on to Shejian, Heiyu and other old subordinates of Zhao Tuo...

"Warring States Strategies Family Letter": Qin sent Xin Wu to occupy Liang, and Qin and Liang joined forces to attack Chu.

There are a lot of things during the Chinese New Year, which caused the update to be unstable, sorry. After a few days of work, I must stabilize.

Thanks to Brother Cheng for the reward from the sky, and the votes of all book friends, thank you!
