On the party's side, Su Zai and others received a military order from Xianyang.

First, because Wang Di's supervision of the army was ineffective, the 30,000 troops of the Qin army were completely annihilated, which almost caused irreparable losses, and recorded that Wang Di's title was reduced by one level to five doctors.

Second, in order to appreciate Wang Yu's army, he conquered Yecheng in one day, and at the same time destroyed the 20,000 army of Zhao State, and was promoted to the first level of Wang Yu's title! At the same time, Wang Yu was limited to conquer the remaining city of Shangdang within one month, and if he was unfavorable in the battle, or could not get out of the city for a long time, he would be demoted to three levels.

In the edict, there is only one sentence about the reward of the Su robbery, and the marquis of the Su army is dedicated to his duties, the monarch is very happy, and the king will reward him in the future.

The generals looked at each other, Wang Daodao was not surprised, but said: "Before the defeat of our army, the commander heard that there were remarks about the unfavorable to the commander in the court, even if the king was angry, he pulled out the old man's army, and the old man did not hesitate, this battle is bound to avenge the 30,000 men of my Great Qin." ”

"The last general is willing to go out for the general, and this battle will take Li City!"

"The last general is too, for the general!"

Su Zheng was a little puzzled, although Wang Yu's army had lost before, but on the battlefield, it has never been possible to decide the winner in a battle, in general, Wang Ji's army defeated the party, which should be a great achievement, but why the king's edict seems a little strange.

Seeing Su Zai's puzzled face, Wang Yi chuckled lightly and patted Su Zai's shoulder: "Although the military marquis has the talent to pass through the heavens and latitudes, but he has not entered the court, so the military marquis is deeply puzzled by the king's edict, but there is another hidden reason for such things. ”

Su Zai arched his hand and asked: "Please also give advice to the general!" ”

Wang Yi was silent for a while, staring at Su Zheng's eyes, and waved his hand to let the rest of the generals withdraw from the tent.

Only then did he nod and said: "The talent of the military marquis is bound to be won over by many parties in the future, but the old man has one thing to say, I hope that the military marquis will remember that this court is not as good as the army, and the military marquis must not stand in line easily!" ”

"Oh? I don't know what the general means! ”

"Now under the Shangdang County, it is not surprising that the seventeen cities belong to my Great Qin territory, and this place is bordered by Zhao State in the east and South Korea in the north, which is the strategic frontier of Great Qin's eastward expansion.

Su Zheng suddenly realized something, frowned, and looked at Wang Yi.

Wang Yi said with a smile: "Among the great generals of Great Qin, the old man is also a veteran of several dynasties, and under the great king's personal government, under the great Qin's hard work, now he occupies such an important place and opens the door to the east, it stands to reason that even if our army's losses are less than one layer, this is also a great achievement, and there is no fault in it." But the old man has always been reluctant to Lu Xiang and other veterans in the court, and he is only for the sake of my Great Qin. ”

Wang Yi said this, Su Zheng already understood, and then said: "Presumably, there are people in the court who covet the power of the new general of the town, according to the merits, even if such a feudal official does not fall on the head of the general, he will definitely be the military general on the general's side, but at this moment, as long as he grasps the reason why the general has lost 30,000 soldiers of my Great Qin for no reason, he can take advantage of this to make a difficulty, and the military to which the general belongs will offset the merits and demerits, so that the position of the general of the feudal territory will become a major bargaining chip for the forces where he is located!" ”

Seeing that Su Zheng said it clearly, Wang Yi nodded and said: "Junhou Huixin, if the old man expects it to be good, there is only one person who can influence the edict of the great king, and can also make the prince of the court and others swallow the bitter water!" ”

Su Zai smiled: "Only Lu Xiang'er! It's just that the feudal generals on the border of Shangdang County have a lot at stake, and the king may not be willing to listen to Lu Xiang, after all, this is the king's country. ”

Wang Di said: "Su Junhou, you must know that the feudal generals of Shangdang County are not as good as the Xiongnu border and the barbarian border, and my strategy of moving the capital to Xianyang is to advance eastward, and all strategies in the future will start with the Shangdang, what does it mean?" It means that the general of the Shangdang County and Town Army will be the first general of the Qin State in the future, and it is not far to say that it is my Qin State Grand Sima. ”

"Do you think that with the control of Lü's relative power, he will let such a feudal official fall to someone who is not from his faction?"

"As long as the old man has a problem, if he can't defeat the Shangdang Yucheng within 30 days, then Lu Xiang will definitely push Meng Fu as the general of the Shangdang, and now Nei Shi Teng and other generals have thrown themselves to Lu Xiang, and Meng Tian, the grandson of Meng Fu, has more tiger and wolf qualifications, in fact, it is difficult to compare with Lu Mengshi when he invests in our military."

When Su Zai heard this, he already understood what Wang Di meant, "What the general means is that even the king will weigh which party has the more strength to take over the position of the general of the Shangdang County, according to the current situation, Lu Xiang's faction does have a great advantage." ”

Wang Yi nodded and said: "Su Zheng, if you had appeared ten years earlier, the position of the general of the Shangdang County would inevitably belong to you, but now you are still young, and you have the merit of a county, according to the Qin system, you can be promoted to the rank of lord as a doctor, but there will inevitably be people in the court who say that you have shallow qualifications and cannot compete for such a high position." Now, the only thing that makes Gong Gong happy is that even if a few of our old guys enter the ground, Daqin has you, and our military can also look at it! ”

Su Zai hurriedly said: "The general is too much to afford Su Zai, Su Zai has to be promoted to have today's achievements, however, the last general heard it before, to feel that the position of the general may not fall into the hands of our military, the king has already ordered the 30th to go down to the party Yucheng, if the general is next, within the specified time, to complete the king's instructions, then Lu Xiang's side is naturally not good, even if it is difficult, we can not be blamed for the rapid contribution, otherwise it will chill the hearts of my 100,000 Great Qin soldiers, can the king not consider it?" ”

Wang Ji said: "Having said that, but it is too difficult to go to the party Yucheng on the 30th, just say that the number of my army is limited, if the soldiers are divided into two roads, cross Licheng, as long as Licheng is not lost, we will not be considered meritorious, if Licheng is attacked by surprise, we will inevitably be disrupted, presumably, this is also Lu Xiang's work, hum!" ”

Su Zheng nodded, the remaining sixteen cities are one city in two days, even the march is quite difficult, not to mention that there is an unfathomable existence hidden in this Li city.

Su Zheng and Wang Ji stayed in the tent for two hours before Su Zheng returned to his military camp.

In Su Zheng's heart, Wang Di had a great favor to him, and the king did not reward or punish him, and he was also quite unhappy in his heart.

If he can't conquer the rest of the city within 30 days, it means that Wang Ji will be punished, and once he enters Xianyang, he must not be able to stay out of it.

As for the fight for the position of the general of the Shangdang County, Su Zheng did not dare to think at this moment, such a high position, that is the existence of at least 200,000 troops, once the eastward war is together, it is bound to lead more military horses.

If this kind of identity goes to weak countries such as South Korea and Wei, the king will not dare to slack off!

When Su Zheng was thinking about it, he picked up Sun Tzu's Art of War Nine Places on the side: "Put it in the place of death and then survive, put it in the place of death and live after it, what does this Zhao army commander want to do!" ”

At this moment, the door was pushed open with a bang.

I saw Wang Ben walking in in a hurry.

Su Zai looked at it, and the kid in his heart was getting more and more naïve!

Wang Ben said: "Big brother, I have found out clearly, the commander in Li Cheng is not a general of Zhao State, but a giant head of the army, named Sun Yun!" This person is the same person I met at the mountain peak a few days ago. ”

"What? How coincidental? Su Zai couldn't help but be stunned, you must know that he was a pseudonym Sun Yun at the beginning, and the other party was also a pseudonym Su Zai! Providence! Su Zheng couldn't help but think like this.

"You say this person is the head of the army!? The one who played chess with me? ”

"That's right! It's him, it's him, it's him! Wang Ben said.

Su Zheng suddenly realized, "I seem to know what he wants to do, this person's behavior like this may be able to conquer sixteen cities in thirty days!" ”
