Chapter Ninety-Six: Talent Fault (Second Update)
Li Chen, what do you think? The First Emperor asked.
At this time, someone is bowing his head and silently chanting in his heart: "Don't call me, don't call me, don't call me......"
"Ah, what do I think?" Li Chen shook his head and looked depressed.
"This kind of murderous war is not my strong point, right?"
"I'm pretty good at that kind of human war." Li Chen looked at the First Emperor and thought with a depressed expression.
Of course, I don't dare to say it, but I am a person from the heart.
"Your Majesty, this is not appropriate for me."
"Otherwise, General Li Xin will come."
"Or General Sten." Li Chen said awkwardly.
Li Xin and Nei Shiteng, who were named, looked at Li Chen with murderous eyes, and said in their hearts: "This guy's kung fu in pulling people into the water is really good. ”
In fact, it is not that these people dare not take over the work of the southern expedition. It's just that there are no soldiers and no generals, and this battle is too embarrassing.
"I tell you to speak, and you speak." The First Emperor glared at Li Chen, and he was clearly ruthless in his heart, this guy just didn't want to offend people.
"Minister, I really don't know how to fight. The matter of Zhao Kuo, who talked about the battle of Changping on paper, is right in front of him. Li Chen said.
It's not that Li Chen shirks it, it's just that he really doesn't know anything about military affairs. Fighting this kind of thing is not something that can be played after reading a few military books, and Zhao Kuo, who talks about soldiers on paper, has become a joke for the ages.
Li Chen will not slap a swollen face and become fat, and joke with the lives of soldiers. Military affairs are like mathematics, if you can't, you won't.
"Then Aiqing, who am I sending to be responsible for the southern expedition." The First Emperor asked.
Li Chen knew that he was afraid that he would have to answer this question, so he looked at it like a general.
Li Chen secretly glanced at Li Xin, it's okay, four or fifty years old.
I secretly glanced at Nei Shi Teng again, not very good, this one is more than fifty.
No, when I looked up, I saw Wang Qian, good guy, more than eighty.
Looking at these people, Li Chen finally knew the troubles of the First Emperor. Almost all of the generals in this room were over forty years old. It turned out that there had been a talent gap in Daqin. The generals of the First Emperor's generation are slowly aging, and the rewards of the younger generation have not yet risen. The lack of green and yellow seems to be the portrayal of Daqin today.
When the Great Qin was destroyed in later generations, only the prisoner army led by Zhang Han and the Great Wall Army led by Wang Li were fighting against the rebels, which seemed to be reasonable.
"This ......"
"This ......"
Li Chen was actually a little speechless for a while, Daqin can be called a handsome general, but they are all dying and old.
And other columns, such as Zhao Tuo, Ren Huan, Zhang Han, etc., were only generals in the past, and never led an army alone. In such a national war, I am afraid that I will repeat the mistakes of the past.
Above the court, at one time fell into an awkward atmosphere, heavy and depressing.
The First Emperor wandered back and forth, already a little anxious in his heart. He was not only anxious about the war in front of him, but also anxious about the future of Great Qin.
The middle-aged generation can be handsome, and there are only two people, Meng Tian and Wang Ben. And there is no one in this young generation, and in the long run, the future of Daqin is almost bleak.
"Your Majesty, the old minister asks for war, although the minister is old, he can still shoot a three-stone hard bow." Wang Jian seemed to sense the embarrassment of the first emperor and opened his mouth to ask for battle.
"Kill chickens with a knife, the old general is slow, I ask for war." Nesten fell to one knee and shouted.
"Brother Neishi, I'll go if it's still my brother, I'm younger than you." Li Xin also opened his mouth to ask for battle.
"Chen Renhuo, Zhao Tuo, Zhang Han ......"
"Please."
The generals fell to their knees in unison and shouted.
The old Qin people are never afraid of war, and when the atmosphere is stirred up, everyone does not think about personal gains and losses.
"Ha, ha."
"My old Qin people have never been afraid of war, and what I want is this blood."
"Old General Wang Qian, you are my elder, Daqin can have today's territory, and your Wang family has made great contributions. Now, you are over eighty years old, and you should be enjoying your old age, but you are still working hard for the affairs of Daqin. ”
"General Li Xin, I remember that you have an arrow wound on your shoulder, and I am afraid that you will not even be able to lift your knife in wet weather. This Baiyue is damp and cold, how can you afford a knife and gun when you get there. ”
"General Nesten, I'm afraid you can't see the cold and damp with your leg injury, and if you go to the south, I'm afraid you won't even be able to ride a horse." The First Emperor asked one after another, and he remembered all these things in his heart.
"Your Majesty, the minister can't hold a knife, and the minister still has teeth to bite, and he can bite to death by smashing his head, and he can kill these barbarians." Li Xin knelt on the ground and shouted with tears in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten, Chenbu Station is also a must." Nesten said. In fact, Nesten led cavalry all his life and never led infantry.
"Minister, Li Xin."
"Minister, Nesten."
"Fight!"
The two shouted in unison again, and the two secretly competed with each other, one of them was louder than the other, and neither of them refused to show weakness at all.
"Minister, Zhao Tuo."
"Minister, Ren Huan."
"Minister, Zhang Han."
“……”
"Fight!"
"Fight!"
“……”
"Hah...... Ha...... Hah"
"The old man is still alive, and it's your junior's turn there." Wang Jian's hearty voice sounded in the main hall.
"Aiqing, who do you think I should send to the south to conquer Baiyue?"
The First Emperor asked again like Li Chen.
For some reason, the First Emperor had a feeling. Li Chen must know something, or Li Chen's choice must not be wrong.
It seems that the wheel of history is always rolling forward according to a certain trajectory, and this trajectory may change slightly, but the general direction must be fixed.
If you try to stop the wheels from moving forward, you will inevitably leave wheel marks on your face.
Li Chen was a little entangled, he didn't know whether he should tell the person chosen by the first emperor in the history of his previous life. In the previous life, Ren Huan and Zhao Tuo undoubtedly pacified Baiyue and added three counties to Great Qin.
Although these two people made contributions to the expansion of the territory of Great Qin, after the death of the First Emperor, it was Zhao Tuo's immobility that brought the dynasty of Great Qin to its downfall.
Lian Zhanghan's 100,000 prisoner army and Wang Li's 50,000 remnants were defeated, and Xiang Yu's army was half crippled, allowing Liu Bang's group of rabble to occupy Xianyang. If Zhao Tuo's 300,000 regular Qin troops returned to Qin, would they be able to sweep away the rebels.
To be honest, Zhao Tuo's person Li Chen is a little incomprehensible. To be reasonable, this person is the confidant of the First Emperor, and it stands to reason that he should be a hard protector of the Qin faction, but he is still in action.
"The minister thought that Ren Huan was the main general, Zhao Tuo was the deputy general, and Zhang Han was the vanguard. It is better to send these three people, lead an army of 100,000 and call another 50,000 prisoners to form an army, and send a total of 150,000 troops to conquer Baiyue. Li Chen gritted his teeth and said.
The future is still in the future, if history is still on the right track, then Ren Huan and Zhao Tuo will naturally be able to sweep away. As for Zhang Han, Li Chen wanted to see what role this person who did not appear on the battlefield of Baiyue in history could play.
"Exactly." The First Emperor barely thought before he spoke.
