Qin Wangzheng looked at the young man in front of him, his eyebrows raised slightly.
Today, he is not wearing a solemn and solemn crown. Instead, he is dressed in Yanju attire, with a training crown on his head, and the clothes are wide, allowing him to sit comfortably on the couch.
Unobstructed by the beads on his crown, his face appeared clearly in front of Zhao Tuo.
A thirty-four-year-old man in his prime, with a high nose bridge, a full forehead, and a long beard under his chin.
Although there is no gorgeous crown to set off his status as a king, the light in Qin Wang Zheng's eyes is enough to make people tremble just as he is sitting there.
Zhao Tuo responded: "I heard that the king is attacking Wei, and I would like to ask for orders to go out and serve the king."
Qin Wangzheng sneered and said: "Zhao Tuo, how long have you been the middle man? It must have been less than half a year, and you don't want to be around me so much?"
Zhao Tuo almost spit out a mouthful of old blood. Why did Qin Wangzheng's words still sound like a hint of resentment.
However, Zhao Tuo did not dare to say on the spot that the reason why I wanted to go to Wei was not because of what your daughter said.
He quickly flattered him first.
"That's absolutely not the case. Your Majesty is so heroic, and I want to be by your side every moment and listen to your teachings."
Seeing that Qin Wangzheng's complexion improved due to his flattery.
Zhao Tuo immediately said: "It's just that the war in the world is still undecided and the war is about to begin. It is the time for me to ride on the battlefield. I once said in the past that I would like to be a prince in life and a temple minister in death. Now we, the Qin State, have sent a large army to destroy him."
Wei Chen doesn’t want to miss this good opportunity to make contributions!”
"When you are alive, you should be a prince, and when you die, you should be the food of the temple."
When Qin Wangzheng heard this, he couldn't help but nodded slightly.
The reason why he dotes on the young man in front of him is not only because Zhao Tuo is indeed capable and knows his own intentions, but also because Zhao Tuo has the unique energy and vitality of young people.
Just like Li Xin back then.
Such young men are the future of Qin!
"Can't wait for half a year? If there are no accidents in this war, it won't take long to destroy Wei. After the autumn harvest, we will raise a large army to attack Chu. At that time, you can follow Li Xin into battle." King Qin Zhengdan
Dan said.
Zhao Tuo's eyelids jumped when he heard Li Xin's name.
The reason why he asked for orders to attack Wei was not only because of his relationship with the princess, but also because he wanted to see if he could change Li Xin's fate of attacking Chu.
As long as he can make a contribution in conquering Wei, he will be promoted to the rank of fifth official.
You can be qualified to become a leading captain.
Of course, this is just a qualification, not a guarantee.
In recent years, as the Qin State launched many wars of annihilation and wars, many people were continuously promoted based on their military merits, resulting in the depreciation of titles within the army.
The appointments of generals are generally arranged in order of title from high to low.
However, the number of generals leading the army is limited each time, while the number of nobles is increasing.
In this case, if you are unlucky and encounter a situation where there are few positions and many high-ranking officials, the fifth official may even be kicked out to become a 200-500 lord.
Therefore, Zhao Tuo wanted to take more credit in the battle to destroy Wei. Even if he could only advance to one level, he would be able to compete with others when he attacked Chu in the future.
The battle against Chu is extremely dangerous. If you bring more troops, the result may be different.
Therefore, he faced another inquiry from Qin Wangzheng.
Zhao Tuo said firmly: "Please give me your permission, Your Majesty. I am willing to go to the battlefield."
Zhao Tuo kowtowed, his expression very sincere.
There was silence in the Qin Palace, and the atmosphere was depressing.
After a long time, King Qin sighed quietly.
"In that case, then go ahead."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Zhao Tuo was overjoyed that Qin Wangzheng really trusted him and finally agreed to his request.
Watching Zhao Tuo leave happily, Qin Wangzheng sat on the couch with a faint smile on his lips.
"Is it because of her?"
…
Qin Wangzheng agreed to Zhao Tuo's request to participate in the battle against Wei. After Zhao Tuo left the palace, he went to the Bangwei Mansion to register his name.
Zhao Tuo originally intended to take this opportunity to visit Wei Liao, a master in the art of war, but unfortunately it was the busiest time in Bang Wei's Mansion, and everyone was busy up and down.
As the highest military organization of the Qin State, all coordination matters regarding the war, recruitment of personnel, transportation of grain and fodder, etc. were under the charge of the Bangwei Mansion, so Wei Liao could not spare any time at this moment.
Zhao Tuo could only give up and focus on another person.
Pinyang County.
The hometown of the great concubine Wang Jian.
Since the celebration banquet, Wang Jian had an insight into Qin Wangzheng's thoughts and took the initiative to thank him for his illness and return to his old age.
After a few polite words of apology, Qin Wangzheng agreed to Wang Jian's request to retire and return to his hometown.
This former general of the Qin State became particularly energetic after having his armor and stomach removed. Compared to when he was sneezing and hunched over in Yan, Wang Jian now speaks with great vigor and even
I can eat two big bowls at a time.
Watching Wang Jian finish another bowl of corn rice.
Zhao Tuo praised: "The general is so strong!"
Wang Jian laughed loudly and boasted: "You have never seen me when I was young. What are you seeing in front of me? At that time, even if it was rough rice that was difficult to swallow, I could eat five bowls of it in one go, hum.
"
Zhao Tuo showed an expression of admiration.
He thought of the allusion to Lian Po.
Wang Jian is a very easy-going person, especially now that he is old and has no airs.
Zhao Tuo talked to him as if talking to the old man next door, without any sense of restraint.
In addition, Wang Jian invited him to dinner and made jokes, obviously treating Zhao Tuo as a close descendant.
In this way, Zhao Tuo no longer had any scruples.
He opened his mouth and said: "The boy came to visit the General this time. He has something to ask, and he also asked the General for advice."
Wang Jian showed an expression that was indeed true. He chuckled and said: "I knew it was like this. You kid is not guarding the princess in the palace, and you made a special trip to come to me, an old man. If you say nothing is wrong, I'm afraid you are just bullying me."
people."
Zhao Tuo was sweating profusely. How could Wang Jian know what happened to him in the palace when he stayed in his hometown?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After thinking about it in his mind, Zhao Tuo locked the suspect.
Wang Li!
Unexpectedly, this guy appears to be a serious person, but in private he is a big talker.
Zhao Tuo secretly remembered it in his heart and said with a naive smile: "What's the matter? After saying goodbye last year, I still miss the general's teachings."
"Hey, stop being like this. If you have something to say, you kid, just say it directly. Do you want to ask me about the war against Wei?" Wang Jian laughed.
Zhao Tuo shook his head.
"No, what I want to ask is about the battle against Chu."
"Fachu?"
Wang Jian was startled for a moment, and a gleam flashed in his eyes: "That matter won't happen until after the new year. Why are you thinking about this now?"
Zhao Tuo whispered: "General, is it really possible for an army of 200,000 to destroy Chu?"
Wang Jian smiled indifferently. He had already expressed his attitude at the celebration banquet before, and said: "Anyway, if I want to destroy Chu, it will take 600,000 people. As for Li Xin, hehe..."
Zhao Tuo asked again: "What does the general think will be the result of General Li's attack on Chu?"
Wang Jian narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "Chu is a big country. Although it is dilapidated now, it cannot be underestimated. In addition, Chu general Xiang Yan, I met him once when I was young, he is not a weak enemy..."
Wang Jian sighed, but did not express his opinion. He thought he was quite taboo about this matter.
Zhao Tuo gritted his teeth and directly stated the purpose of his visit.
"Then let me ask you, General, if our army encounters a certain situation and causes a defeat on the battlefield, and is followed and pursued by General Chu..."
…
When Zhao Tuo came back from Pinyang, he already had a idea in his mind. Although things in the world are unpredictable and may not be useful at that time, compared to the original confused state, he at least had a little more hope and certainty.
Time gradually passes as spring plowing is completed.
The imperial edicts of the King of Qin were issued from the Qin Palace and spread throughout the world.
"Dawangzhi said: The king of Wei is unruly and has agreed to submit to Qin. He has betrayed the alliance and wants to make an alliance with Han and Zhao's remnants to attack Qin."
"Order General Wang Ben to attack Wei with Huaiyang's army."
