Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Many of His Country, and the Abundance of His Things
"Northern Xinjiang Victory......"
"The great general Meng Tian Chen soldiers on Table Mountain, and the lone army lured the enemy to defeat the Huns."
"It's amazing, the empire has 10,000 infantry troops, and 30,000 Hun iron horsemen have been beheaded."
"Heroes of the Empire, outnumbered, defeated by less, defeated by weak."
"The Huns knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and the Hetao was about to recover ......"
"Shocked!! 30,000 pioneers drank hatred, and the Huns vomited blood. ”
For a while, the latest news from all over the Great Qin Empire was printed one after another, and the whole country was boiling, and sales soared again.
All eyes were on the northern frontier, and all of them paid close attention to the occupation of the northern frontier.
Xianyang Palace......
Wang Jian was lying on the Taishi chair given by His Majesty, holding a piece of imperial news in his hand, reading it with relish.
Wang Ben sat aside, also holding a flash message in his hand, and his expression was a little gloomy.
Meng Tian is as famous as himself, and now Meng Tian has made another war exploit, and the Imperial Express is reported to the world, which is world-famous.
After this battle, who in the world doesn't know you?
The reputation of himself and Meng Tian is only afraid that it will be very different.
"Ben'er, what do you think after reading it?"
Wang Jian suddenly asked out loud.
Wang Ben was pulled back into his thoughts, and paused and said: "Father, Meng Tian really lived up to His Majesty's high expectations, and after this battle, he was able to shock the world and become a well-known imperial hero." ”
"Father is not asking you this."
Wang Jian continued to hold the news without raising his head.
"The Xiongnu will be defeated, and the recovery of the Hetao is not far away."
Wang Ben smiled bitterly, it seems that it is not easy to fool the past easily.
"After Dongou returned to Shun, the war in Xiou also ended."
"Your Majesty did not mean to stop, and ordered Tu Sui to continue to go south and capture Yuyue."
"There are more and more strange artifacts in the empire, I heard that what kind of machine has been built in the arsenal?"
Wang Jian seemed to be a little forgetful and couldn't remember it for a while.
"The steam engine does not need to be propelled by manpower and can operate autonomously."
"It's really exquisite, a masterpiece of ingenuity."
Wang Ben reminded, his voice full of embarrassment.
"Yes, it's a steam engine."
"The Wang family is in a world of great disputes, if you stick to the old merits, after a hundred years as a father, where will the Wang family go?"
Wang Jian put down the news in his hand and lay on the Taishi chair, his old eyes bursting with the light of wisdom.
"Does the father want the child to lead the army?"
Although Wang Ben is already in his forties, he is still a little restrained in front of his father, and his voice is full of hope.
"There is Meng Tian in the north, and Tu Sui in the south."
"If you want to put on your armor again, how easy is it?"
"The Jizi in the southeast, the Chenguo, has always admired the Central Plains, and every year it sends envoys to meet the Son of Heaven."
"Since Zhou Tianzi was destroyed by Qin, all states have looked to the Qin Empire."
"Your Majesty sent Liu Ji to envoy Yelang, and the southwest may be a breakthrough."
"Although Li'er is very good, his achievements are limited after all, and it is difficult to support the lintel of the Wang family."
"The Montessori has won the grace of the emperor, and if the world is peaceful for a long time, the Wang family should retire with success and enjoy the peace of the prosperous world."
"However, His Majesty is eloquent and strategic, and he is not willing to accept the status quo."
"On the occasion of the empire's employment, it is the duty of our courtiers to serve His Majesty and contribute to the empire."
"You've been recuperating from your arrow wound for years, so it's time to go out for a walk."
"We can't let the people of the world only know Montessori and forget Wang's."
"You can't let Your Majesty feel that there is no successor to the Wang family, and the Montessori is the pillar of the empire."
Wang Jian thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to let his son return to military affairs.
The brothers of the Meng family are really good, and although there is no big mistake in the grandson Wang Li, there is no military exploits.
swept away the Six Kingdoms, because he was afraid of being suspicious of His Majesty, so he wanted to retire successfully, so as not to burn himself.
But our majesty is not willing to be lonely, since seeing the vast map, Wang Jian seems to have gradually regained the ambition of his youth.
It's a pity that he is already dying, and he still needs young people to fight hard in the future, and he is no longer suitable for leading troops on expeditions and making contributions to the country.
Now that he is in the position of the prince of the country, he is highly respected in the Great Qin Empire, and it is not too much to say that he is a very popular minister.
But the prosperity of the family does not depend on the merits of one person.
Rather, generation after generation, they strive to maintain the glory of the family.
As long as the family is reused by the king, it can prosper forever.
Otherwise, it will be a flash in the pan and will eventually wither.
"Father's meaning, is it for the child to play Your Majesty and lead the army to conquer the Southwest Dian Kingdom?"
Wang Ben's eyes flashed with fine light, and making contributions on the battlefield was his lifelong pursuit.
But over the years, my father has been pressing himself and not allowing himself to enter the court again.
"The country of projectiles, why bother?"
Wang Jian glanced at his son, who was a little excited, and said.
"What does Father mean?"
Wang Ben was stunned and said with some confusion.
"Outside Longxi, there is a vast fertile land, which is called the Western Regions, and its countries are numerous, and its things are abundant."
"If you can lead the troops to defeat the Yueshi people and open the passage between the empire and the states of the Western Regions, its merits are no less than that of Meng Tian's defeat of the Xiongnu."
"If the Western Regions can be expanded to Qin, the significance is far more far-reaching than Meng Tian's recovery of the Hetao area."
"Although Your Majesty has never explicitly stated that you will use troops against the states of the Western Regions, my father can clearly perceive that Your Majesty has long coveted that vast and fertile land."
Wang Jian said eloquently, obviously knowing His Majesty very well.
A hungry wolf that never gets enough to eat, can it change its nature and not crave delicious prey?
"But the northern frontier of the empire, the southern frontier is in flames, and the west will open up a battlefield again, will Your Majesty agree?"
Wang Ben thought about it and was quite puzzled.
"Then it depends on how much it costs to defeat the Yue Clan."
"If you don't work hard, you can easily defeat the Yue people and open up a passage to the Western Regions."
"Your Majesty is naturally extremely willing, but if you have to pay a painful price, even if Your Majesty has the heart, the Qin State will not be able to do it."
"It is only more than three years to dominate the world, and the six countries have surrendered millions of people, and the most important thing that Great Qin lacks at the moment is troops."
"It's just logistical supplies, which is a bit tricky."
"But these are not problems, there are 200,000 Dingxi troops in Longxi, Bashu, and Qiongdu."
"I have served my father in the court for more than 40 years, if my son has this ambition, even if my father pulls down his face, he will raise enough food and grass for you."
Wang Jian looked at his son Wang Ben, an old face, full of wrinkles, full of anticipation.
"The child will live up to His Majesty's expectations, his father's expectations, and the empire's expectations."
"In the land of Longxi, there is my Wang Ben, and there is no Yue's clan."
Wang Ben said in high spirits, he felt his blood burning, as if he had returned to the years when he led the army to conquer the Six Kingdoms.
"Very good, Your Majesty is about to return to the country, and when the time comes, you will enter the palace with your father and play to Your Majesty."
Wang Jian suddenly comforted him, and his mood instantly improved.
"The child obeys his father's command."
Wang Ben lowered his head and bowed, his eyes flashing with a strange essence.
I have waited too long for this day......
