Chapter 74: The King once asked you
Hear the sound.
All the generals in the camp stood up, faced Wang Ben, and bowed respectfully.
Zhao Xuan, who had just arrived, was no exception. He immediately bowed and said, "I respectfully listen to the king's edict."
Wang Ben unfolded the imperial edict and read it loudly: "Edict of the King of Qin,"
"In the battle to destroy Han, Zhao Xuandong should be the first to do it. He attacked Han in the first battle and beheaded his general. In the battle to break the city, he beheaded his general. In the battle of surprise attack, he broke through the capital of Han and destroyed Han in one fell swoop. He even offered the magic medicine to the Qin Dynasty.
The millions of warriors of our Great Qin Dynasty are responsible for their survival."
"now."
"I consecrate Zhao Xuan to the rank of general, commanding 100,000 soldiers and horses. He will be promoted to the third rank and granted the title of Zhonggeng. He will enjoy the title of thirteenth rank and annual salary. The general is given the authority to form two thousand personal guard battalions."
"In addition, Zhao Xuantong's soldiers and horses are to guard the Korean territory and are in charge of all military aircraft in the Korean territory. They are ordered to the Lantian Camp."
"Besides this, the Lord ordered Li Teng to return to Xianyang with 50,000 generals to report on his duties and receive rewards."
Wang Ben read loudly.
Hear this.
The generals in the entire camp were stunned, and then looked at Zhao Xuan with awe.
Although they all had some guesses about the purpose of Wang Zhao's visit this time.
But none of them expected that the current king would directly appoint Zhao Xuan as the general to guard the newly pacified South Korea and take charge of all military affairs.
This honor was something they did not expect.
but.
The generals had no objections to the fact that Zhao Xuan was awarded the title of general and commanded an army of 100,000, because Zhao Xuan's contribution to the Qin Dynasty was completely worthy of it.
"I accept the edict."
Zhao Xuan and Li Teng bowed.
And at this moment.
Zhao Xuan was very excited in his heart: "Qin Shihuang, he is really Qin Shihuang. Such courage has never been seen before. I have never met him, but he dared to use me so boldly, letting me take charge of military affairs in Korea and an army of 100,000 people. This way
I will be able to cultivate my power secretly without any hindrance."
It would not be a good thing for Zhao Xuan if he was recalled to Xianyang for an audience.
Because he may be left to serve in Xianyang by Qin Shihuang. Although serving in the capital is envied by countless people, Zhao Xuan is not rare.
The battlefield can make him stronger.
Not only were there no opportunities in Xianyang, but we were also at a loss.
Under royal authority.
It will be inconvenient to do anything.
Being named a general and guarding a territory is what Zhao Xuan wants.
"Zhao Xuan, congratulations to you."
"What you said when you joined the army came true."
"You are now a general."
Wang Ben walked up to Zhao Xuan and handed the imperial edict to Zhao Xuan.
"Thank you, General Wang."
Zhao Xuan took the Wang Zhao and replied with a smile.
"Hey, don't be so polite."
"Now that you and I have the same military rank, we can be called peers." Wang Ben also replied with a smile.
"Zhao Xuan, congratulations." Li Teng also came over and said with a smile.
Li Teng did not have any dissatisfaction with the fact that he was transferred back to Xianyang to report on his duties and that military affairs were handed over to Zhao Xuan.
Returning to Xianyang and meeting the King is what Li Teng has always wanted. Now that he can achieve his wish, Li Teng is naturally very happy, and he can think that after returning to Xianyang, the current King will use him more.
"Congratulations to General Zhao."
Many generals congratulated Zhao Xuan.
Especially the four of them, Chen Song and Zhang Han, had already pledged their allegiance to Zhao Xuan. Now that Zhao Xuan was promoted to the rank of general and took charge of the army, they were more excited than any other general in the camp.
"Thank you, General Li, for your continued care."
Zhao Xuan first cupped his fists and saluted Li Teng, and then looked at the other generals: "Generals, I will be in charge of the entire army from now on. I hope you will cooperate with me."
"General, I will obey the general's orders." All the generals said in unison.
Zhao Xuanchu was the chief general, but he was not a fool. All the generals knew how powerful Zhao Xuan was, so how could they dare to disobey him.
"You all, please step back."
"I will discuss this with General Wang and General Li."
Zhao Xuan said to the generals.
"promise."
All the generals bowed and retreated from the camp.
"Brother Wang, Brother Li, it shouldn't be a big deal if I call you this, right?"
Zhao Xuan smiled, looked at the two of them and said.
"Hahaha."
"I like this title."
"We are much older than you, so you deserve the title of eldest brother."
Wang Ben immediately laughed and said.
"That's right." Li Teng immediately agreed.
"Speak of it."
"Originally, I thought I would report to Xianyang this time, but I didn't expect that the king would ask me to guard Han." Zhao Xuan said with some sigh.
This is indeed true.
"Brother Zhao, I am certainly not surprised that your achievements in destroying Korea this time have led to the title of general by the king. However, I did not expect that you would be asked to guard the territory of Korea, but this happens to be the value that the king places on you."
"Guarding one side is not only the king's trust in you, but also one's responsibility."
"You understand this." Wang Ben said seriously.
"Of course I understand."
"Brother Wang, please tell the general and the king that I, Zhao Xuan, will guard Han territory for one day and there will never be any omissions." Zhao Xuan immediately promised.
"Don't worry."
"Since the king has chosen you to guard it, it means that he believes in you."
"And speaking of it."
"When I returned to Xianyang that day, I talked with the king in Zhangtai Palace, and he asked about you specifically." Wang Ben said with a smile.
"Asked about me?"
Zhao Xuan was stunned for a moment, with a bit of surprise on his face, but also a bit of joy.
Qin Shihuang, the only emperor through the ages.
Zhao Xuan admired him very much in his heart. He was the first emperor in the history of Yan and Huang who created the unification of Yan and Huang. Even if Zhao Xuan wanted to dominate the Qin Dynasty in the future, he could not help but admire Qin Shihuang and wanted to
The impulse at first sight.
Knowing that Qin Shihuang also asked about him privately was like being named by a legendary figure, so he was naturally a little happy.
Seeing Zhao Xuan's surprised look, Wang Ben patted Zhao Xuan's shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the king has a good impression of you, otherwise he wouldn't use you so highly."
"and."
"On that day, I met the king. He also gave me a secret edict, saying that it must be handed over to you, and that you should read it alone. After reading it, burn it immediately."
Said.
Wang Ben took out a secret edict from his arms and handed it to Zhao Xuan.
"The First Emperor's secret edict? Is there something big going on?"
Zhao Xuan was shocked and immediately took the secret edict.
"alright."
"We are still here now, and we will leave for Xianyang tomorrow. If you have anything else to say or do, just do it now." Wang Ben said with a smile.
"Brother Wang."
"I am in charge of military affairs, and there should be someone else in charge of government affairs. I wonder who the king has sent to take charge of government affairs?" Zhao Xuan asked.
"Speak of it."
"There's a name you should have heard of." Wang Ben gave the lie.
"Could it be, Meng Yi?"
Zhao Xuan thought for a while and guessed.
"Hahaha."
"No wonder the king said that you are not only the most brave in the army, but also have the wisdom to stand in the court."
"Brother Zhao Xuan, you are indeed amazing." Wang Ben said immediately with a smile.
