Chapter 1738: A Hundred Defeated Generals
200,000, the Ice Emperor only gave Qin Tian 200,000 soldiers and horses, plus about 350,000 defenders in Xizhou, a total of only 550,000, compared to the more than 600,000 people of the Demon Clan and the Martial King Alliance, Qin Tian is now no longer tempered.
550,000 attacking 600,000, and you have to win?
I'm afraid this request is a bit excessive.
After thinking about it, Qin Tian said directly to the Ice Emperor: "Your Majesty, you give the last general 200,000 soldiers and horses, and the last general's soldiers and horses are not as good as the demon clan and the Xizhou coalition army, if you want to win quickly, I'm afraid it will be difficult." ”
"Hahaha, I know that too. ”
The Ice Emperor smiled.
Qin Tian was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart Your sister, do you know that you are still playing with me?
The Ice Emperor said: "I am already drafting a recruitment decree, so let's do it, you lead 200,000 troops first, I have no other requirements for you, before the arrival of my reinforcements, you can defend me against the attack of the demon clan and the Xizhou army, and I will drag them down, and after I expand the army, I want them to look good!"
I see.
The Ice Emperor also knew that after the imperial capital soldiers and horses were transferred many times, the total strength of the army had been greatly reduced, which was a very big risk for the imperial capital, you know, each state has hundreds of thousands of defenders, if the imperial capital is empty, and someone rebels, then the imperial capital will definitely fall.
Therefore, the Ice Emperor activated Qin Tian, not to let Qin Tian attack the Xizhou Army, but to temporarily let Qin Tian resist the attack of the Xizhou Army and buy time for the Ice Emperor to recruit troops.
When Qin Tian heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The last general obeys the order, and the last general will not disgrace his mission and not let the Xizhou army go further!"
……
Qin Tian took the order of the Ice Emperor and went to the military department to receive the tiger talisman.
The Ice Emperor named him the general of Zhenxi, led 200,000 troops, and went to Xizhou.
At the same time, the 350,000 soldiers and horses in the original Xizhou were also dispatched by Qin Tian.
After Qin Tian returned to the Qin Mansion, he immediately began to form his own Shuai Mansion.
First of all, he asked Emperor Bing to transfer Ye Kun and Zuo Yuanhao from the eastern capital to the imperial capital and enter his staff mansion, and secondly, when Zuo Yuanhao and others rushed to the imperial capital, Qin Tian was ready to visit a second-rank general who was idle at home in the imperial capital, Xu Kuan.
"Boss, are you going to visit Xu Kuan?" Hearing Qin Tian's preparations, Xiao Zhuang was stunned.
Lin Yu was also shocked: "Ah, this Xu Kuan has a bad reputation, why are you visiting him?"
Qin Tiandao: "I am going to apply to the Ice Emperor to recruit Xu Kuan into my Shuai Mansion. ”
"I'll go!"
It seemed that he had expected Qin Tian to do this, and Xiao Zhuang and Lin Yu both stared at Qin Tian with wide eyes.
Xiao Zhuang said: "Boss, that Xu Kuan, since his debut, he hasn't won a battle, what are you recruiting him for?"
"Yes, I have heard rumors about him, he is a notoriously invincible general, it is rumored that after Xu Kuan graduated from the Imperial Capital Academy (the most famous Xiuzhen Academy in the Imperial Capital), he entered the Imperial Capital Army, and he has never won a battle, which army he goes to, which army will defeat the battle......"
Lin Yu shook his head, "This is a broom star, boss, what are you going to do with him? ”
Indeed, Qin Tian has also read Xu Kuan's resume in the past few days, after he graduated from the Imperial Capital Academy, since he became a centurion, he has fought more than 100 battles, large and small, without exception, these more than 100 battles he participated in or led his troops to fight, all of them were defeated.
"This is a man of God...... More than 100 battles, not a single victory, hehe, isn't this a broom star? Boss, let's not go to him, bad luck. Xiao Zhuang said.
Qin Tian said with a smile: "If you want to say that General Xu Kuan is a broom star, then let me ask you, since he is a broom star, why did he rise all the way to the rank of second-rank general?"
Hearing this, Xiao Zhuang and Lin Yu were stunned, as if they had really not studied this issue very carefully.
Xiao Zhuang recalled: "It seems that their family has a bit of a background, and the family is very rich or something, so it is normal for them to be promoted." ”
Qin Tian shook his head.
Lin Yu was surprised: "I know, it's because Xu Kuan's cultivation is high, I heard that his cultivation is in the middle of the Little Immortal Realm, and it is said that this cultivation is relatively high among the second-rank generals, so he is promoted with strength!"
Qin Tian smiled and shook his head.
"Isn't this?" Lin Yu saw Qin Tian shaking his head, a little puzzled, and said, "Is it because Xu Kuan graduated from the Imperial Capital Academy, and he has a lot of senior brothers and sisters in the court?"
Qin Tian shook his head again.
"What's the reason for that, Boss?"
Xiao Zhuang and Lin Yu asked at the same time.
They really couldn't think of any other reason.
Qin Tian seemed to memorize Xu Kuan's resume backwards, and said: "Xu Kuan's promotion from centurion to thousand-commander is because in a defeated battle, when the other troops were defeated, the hundred people he led were in an orderly manner, and no less than one retreated. ”
"When Commander Xu Kuan was promoted to commander, it was because in the defense of Yuncheng, although Yuncheng was captured by the barbarian troops, the troops led by Xu Kuan, in the retreat, severely damaged the pursuing barbarian troops, and killed more than 3,000 barbarians with a force of 1,000 people. ”
When Qin Tian said this, Xiao Zhuang and Lin Yu both glanced at each other, and seemed to understand a little.
But he heard Qin Tian continue: "When Xu Kuan was promoted from the commander to the general of the third grade, it was in the battle with the demon clan, in the defense of Liangcheng in Xizhou, the 10,000 people led by Xu Kuan resisted the encirclement of the demon clan's army of 50,000 people, and resisted for three months before he was defeated and retreated. You must know that the imperial capital asked Xu Kuan to resist for a month to complete the task. ”
"And when Xu Kuan was promoted from the third-rank general to the second-rank general, it was last year, in the battle with the demon invasion army, Xu Kuan led 50,000 troops, and the demon clan resisted 100,000 people at the border for a month, and the demon clan could not advance an inch. ”
After speaking, Qin Tian looked at Xiao Zhuang and the others and asked, "Second, third, now you know, why did I go to invite Xu Kuan out of the mountain?"
Xiao Zhuang and Lin Yu nodded at the same time, and said two words in unison: "Defense!"
Qin Tiandao: "Yes, I asked Xu Kuan to go out of the mountain for two reasons, the first of which is defense, looking at his resume, you will find that in his more than 100 defeats, basically, he tried his best, and failure has nothing to do with him." ”
"On the contrary, in the midst of defeat, he kept learning from his lessons and made his defense better and better, more and more indestructible, which is what he is most capable of, and which no one else can do. ”
Qin Tian looked at Xiao Zhuang and said, "Do you think, how much courage and tenacity does it take for a person who has been defeated repeatedly, a person who has the reputation of a hundred defeated generals, to be able to persist until now, regardless of the ridicule and exclusion of others?"
"This kind of talent is exactly what I, Qin Tian, are looking for!"
Qin Tian clenched his fists and said confidently.
