When he walked out of the side hall of Xianyang Palace, Li Xin's face was still calm, he took the sword handed by the palace guards, hung it firmly back on his waist, nodded at them again, and slowly walked down the high platform under the envious and adoring eyes of the halberd-wielding guards.

But in fact, Li Xinzhong was already agitated, and he couldn't wait to go down the stairs directly and laugh heartily!

Li Xin was only twenty-nine years old, with a figure of up to eight feet, with a handsome face with sharp edges and sharp eyebrows piercing the hairline like sharp swords, showing his brave and resolute character.

This is the personality of a young Qin general, Li Xin is a native of Guanzhong, he was born on the loess Huaili Beimang Plateau, grew up drinking the water of the Wei River, and was accompanied by bow horses since he was a child. At the age of seventeen, he became a warrior knight who could chase horses and gallop chariots, and his strength could bind the banner, draw a two-stone bow, gallop and shoot, and he could shoot skillfully before and after, left and right, and was a well-known martial young man in Huaili.

Relying on the advantages of his grandfather and father being high-ranking officials in the county, as well as this ability, the young Li Xin was elected to Xianyang as the official of Qin Wanglang.

Lang Wei is the general of the Qin State, or the children of the good family in Guanzhong, in charge of the portal, chariots and other things, the inner as the Qin king's guard, and the outside is in the army.

At the same time as Li Xin, there were Meng Tian, the eldest son of Meng Wu, and Li You, the son of Li Si. Their daily task is to wear armor and hold long beryllium in their hands, standing in all corners of Xianyang Palace, and one station is half a day. This made Li Xin, who was accustomed to blowing the wind of Weiyuan and galloping on horseback, extremely uncomfortable, and felt that he was just an ornament in this palace.

But the awl, will always stand out, that year, Longxi, Shangjun sent horses, the king of Qin ordered all Langwei to choose, on the spot on the school field to tame the horse, Li Xin picked a horse of the fiercest and wildest, after a game of people and horses, successfully tamed it.

His performance that day left a deep impression on King Qin, that is, from this day on, Li Xin began to prosper in official fortune. First, he was transferred from a palace guard to his side by the King of Qin and became a close attendant. With King Qin's appreciation, in the next two years, he was promoted from an ordinary Lang Wei to a Lang official who rarely had his age.

At that time, the king of Qin was also young, and he had just wiped out Chang Yu, who had controlled the government for many years, deposed Lü Buwei, and began to really control the country, and his eyes swept to the six kingdoms of Shandong......

King Qin has the heart of sweeping the world, encompassing the four seas, and annexing the eight wildernesses, he needs those experienced generals, and also needs a large number of young people who are as brave and enterprising as him.

In this context, Li Xin was transferred from the guard officer to the army.

The army of the Qin State is a place that pays attention to seniority and age, and those old people with gray sideburns, after Li Xin entered the army, always like to rely on the old and sell the old, and regard him as a "yellow-jawed child".

Li Xin worked hard to adapt to the environment in the army, in addition to growing a beard to make himself look more calm and mature, he also used beautiful battles to successfully shut up those conservative and wooden old generals who were half-cut into the ground.

Soon, he was promoted from commander to captain, and even in the battle to destroy Zhao, he was appointed as a general!

At that time, Wang Jian sent hundreds of thousands of people to Zhang and Ye, while Li Xin led tens of thousands of elite soldiers out of Taiyuan and Yunzhong.

This is the first time Li Xin commanded an army of more than 10,000 people, and his performance is still outstanding, out of Taiyuan Dingzhongshan, and with Wang Jian swept Julu and Hejian, but there was also a big mistake - he failed to block Zhao Gongzi Jia, so that he took hundreds of Zhao clans, fled to Daijun and Shanggu, and proclaimed himself acting king, and survived.

But two years later, in the battle to destroy Yan, Li Xin, who was also a general, did not repeat the mistakes of the past, he personally led thousands of chariots and horses, pursued Yan Wangxi and Prince Dan who escaped from Yandu, and defeated the remnants of Yan in Yanshui, forcing Yan Wangxi to kill Prince Dan and ask Qin for peace......

It was Li Xin's battle for fame, and for a time, he became the object of worship of the young people of the Qin State. When Li Xinhan, the head of Prince Dan, returned to Xianyang, tens of thousands of people lined up to cheer, and the boys walked happily beside the procession, looking at their young heroes with their heads held high.

It is said that after that, the teenagers in the entire Guanzhong, when playing on bamboo horses, no longer called themselves "under the command of General Wang", and began to be called "under the command of General Li......

People always like the legendary experience of young generals who are used to forge ahead and eventually succeed, but after getting used to it, it is easy to forget the achievements of the calm and mountain-like generals. Under the deliberate publicity of King Qin, the limelight of the young general Li Xin faintly overshadowed the posture of Wang Jian and his son.

The King of Qin also showed his respect for Li Xin, and Li Xin still remembered that after the army returned from Yandi last year, the King of Qin celebrated the achievements of the generals, but in the end he left Li Xin alone and asked him a question.

"General Li thinks, where did Qi Chu come first?"

At that time, the Wei State still existed, but in the eyes of the King of Qin, the Great Liang was destined to become a ruin, and the Wei land had become a county under the rule of the Qin State, which was not taken into account at all.

Faced with this unexpected question, Li Xin replied after a little thought: "Chu is wide, and Qi is narrow. Chu people are brave, Qi people are timid. Please work on the easy ...... first"

He advocated starting with Qi Guo first, so that Li Xin could take the car he was more familiar with, follow the example of Le Yi's old deeds, and drive straight into Jixi and Jibei to destroy Qi in one fell swoop!

At that time, he didn't dare to treat Chu as his own meal, because the Qin army thought that to destroy Chu, I am afraid that General Wang would have to come out to do it.

Although Li Xin was confident, he was not arrogant enough to think that he could take his place.

The King of Qin was noncommittal about Li Xin's suggestion.

After that, a year later, Li Xin entered a state of rest, and he didn't even get involved in the battle to destroy Wei, but the king of Qin sent Wang Ben, the son of Wang Qian, and said with a smile: "Just a little Wei, such as a vassal of Qin, why should the two most important generals be the commanders?" If the sword of Tai'a is not out, it will be destroyed! ”

When King Qin said this, Li Xin and Wang Jian glanced at each other, but soon, their eyes were removed.

Li Xin didn't know what Wang Jian was thinking when he heard King Qin's words, he only knew that a pride rose in his heart, this was the first time that King Qin put him and Wang Jian side by side, and this was also the first time he had an expectation, expecting that it was not Wang's father and son who would attack the city and destroy the country for the king, but himself......

In May, the city of Daliang was broken, the Wei state was destroyed, and according to the previous practice, the Qin state suspended its troops and rested the people. But Li Xin's state of idleness in Xianyang City did not last long, and last month, news suddenly came: King Jing broke his promise, was unwilling to hand over the three provinces west of Qingyang in Jiangnan, and instructed Qu to kill the Qin envoy!

After learning the news, King Qin did not burst into a rage, but just smiled, saying why the king of Chu suddenly became bolder, and then calmly asked Wang Xuan, the imperial historian who was waiting on the side, how did the king of Chu Zhuang react when he asked the envoy to be killed by the Song State?

Wang Juan was proficient in the rules and regulations, and immediately replied: "The king of Chuzhuang said to the envoy Shen Zhou, Song kills you, and I will cut it down." The Song State really killed its messenger, the king of Chu Zhuang heard it, did not wear shoes, did not wear a sword, so he threw himself up, and the entourage caught up, until the front hall did send shoes, chased to the palace gate to send a sword, chased to the Puxu market in the Chu capital, and let the king of Chu take the car. So the king of Chuzhuang besieged the Song Dynasty for three years, made Song Yizi eat, broke his bones for cooking, and finally surrendered to Chu. ”

"King Jing broke the contract, hit my Nanjun, the three towns west of Qingyang are small, the national prestige of Qin is great, the wish of the great country cannot be violated, if you don't punish it, the world will despise Qin!" How can a widow be inferior to King Chuzhuang? ”

Qin Wangzheng is such a person, if he has something he wants to get, he must get it, whether it is talents from all over the world, such as Han Fei, Wei Yu, or the unique position of the Son of Heaven in this world.

If there is resentment, he will not hesitate to choose to repay. The nobles of Zhao once bullied his mother and son when Qin Wangzheng was young, and after the Qin army broke Handan, the king of Qin actually went to Handan in person, and all the nobles of Zhao who had a grudge against his mother's family, without exception, were killed! Prince Yan Dan made Jing Ke assassinate, which made King Qin break out in a cold sweat, and immediately ordered Yan to be cut down, using the ruins of Yandu and the head of Prince Yan Dan to tell the world that all those who dare to resist King Qin will end up like this!

Now the state of Chu dares to break the contract and disobey the wishes of the king of Qin, this is self-destruction!

So the king of Qin summoned Wang Jian and Li Xin and asked them a question in person:

"I want to capture Jing, and I will use geometric people to meet the generals?"

After Wang Jian pondered for a long time, he reported the number he needed to destroy Chu in his heart: "It must be 600,000 people who cannot ......."

Li Xin still remembered that when he heard this number, although the king's face did not change, his eyes had already left Wang Jian and turned to himself.

"General Li thinks that it takes soldiers to destroy Chu?"

King Qin's eyes were full of encouragement, so that Li Xin couldn't say anything that disappointed him, and Li Xin looked at Wang Jian who was standing on his right, with gray sideburns and a slightly hunched back, and felt that he didn't seem to be as tall as before. For a while, Li Xin forgot what he had cautiously mentioned about "Chu Diguang and Chu people brave", and blurted out: "It's just 200,000 people!" ”

The King of Qin seemed to be satisfied with his answer, and waved Wang Jian to retire, leaving Li Xin alone.

After Wang Jian walked out of the side hall with slightly sluggish steps, King Qin sighed softly, as if he was sad about the twilight of the veteran, and as if he was relieved to call the curtain call for the peace of a generation of famous generals.

But this mood quickly disappeared, and the king of Qin asked Li Xin to take three steps closer to the king and encouraged him: "General Wang, old man, why cowardly! General Li is brave and brave, and his words are true! ”

In the past ten years, as a junior and deputy, he has watched the majestic posture of the old general Wang in the rear, watched him waving the flag, and watched him make meritorious contributions and leave the reputation of destroying the country, and there was admiration, envy, and some unwillingness in his heart.

King Qin promoted him, making him, a young general less than thirty, second only to Wang Jian in status, and now, he is even more blunt to say that he has surpassed Wang Qian!

Li Xin was so excited on the spot that he said that he would definitely live up to the king's high expectations! He will bind the king to the king!

"In the matter of destroying Chu, General Li will be the main commander! The soldiers of Guanzhong and Shandong counties were recruited, and the troops were sent when the food was sufficient in the autumn. ”

After a deep talk, Li Xin left the side hall, at this moment, remembering the sentence "General Li is strong and brave", his feet are still a little fluttering......

When he walked to the gate of Xianyang Palace in this way, Li Xin met Xia Wuji, who had just sent Wang Jian back to the mansion......

……

"Imperial Doctor's Order." Li Xin was young and brave, but he was not a proud person, he knew that Xia Wuhe was the most trusted person by the King of Qin, even more than himself, so he immediately surrendered his hand to greet him......

"I've seen General Lee." After many years in the palace, as a member of the Empress Dowager Xia's clan who did not have a good relationship with the King of Qin, Xia Wuhe was able to be increasingly valued by the King of Qin many years after the death of the Empress Dowager Xia, which is enough to show that he is smart and sleek, he also got out of the car and said with a smile: "I haven't congratulated the general yet." ”

Li Xin humbled for a while, and asked in a low voice: "Imperial Doctor Order, General Wang is okay?" “

Xia Wuhe was also waiting in the palace, until the King of Qin asked Wang Jian to return first, and then let Xia Wuhe send him off and accompany Wang Jian back to the mansion.

Wei Yi once said that the King of Qin was less kind, but the King of Qin was not lucky, and he was still full of warmth for the heroes and generals, although he intended to promote Li Xin, but he was also afraid that Wang Qian's suggestions would not be used today, and this old general with great military achievements would be sick......

Xia Wuhe shook his head and sighed with emotion: "General Wang is fine, it's just that he has been in the army for decades, has experienced a hundred battles, and has suffered blade wounds, spear wounds, arrow wounds, sprains, and fall injuries, I can't count how many." When he was young, he was fine, but now he is getting older, and his body is not as good as before, so he was in the car, and said to me with a smile that since the king has a brave new general available, it is time for him to say goodbye to old age and return to Pinyang to enjoy the joy of family......"

"General Wang intends to tell the old man?"

Li Xin was surprised, but he was slightly proud in his heart, General Wang is indeed old, not only his body is not as good as before, but even his thoughts are dull, the reason why the king asked the two of them how many people they need to attack Chu is because the Qin State has used troops for three consecutive years, and wants to gather 600,000 people, so wait until next year's autumn harvest and mobilize the whole country.

Although the king's temperament had a period of forbearance, after the monopoly of power, he became more and more resolute. Decisions must be made, no matter what the cost! It's best to do it quickly and well! He doesn't like to procrastinate.

Humiliated by Jing Guo's betrayal of the alliance, how could he endure it for another two years before taking revenge?

General Wang is really dizzy from old age, and he hasn't even thought about this clearly?

The king is a general, and the dispute between the palace and the palace is general, but also the newcomer laughs, the old man cries, and the great military exploits are not only made of the enemy's bones, but also have to step on those ancestors and veterans.

Li Xin shook his head secretly, but verbally sighed for a while, and then said goodbye to Xia Wuhe, and went back to the mansion, the king of Qin will announce this appointment to the hundred officials and generals in August, which will definitely attract countless questions, questioning Li Xin's age, questioning his inexperience......

Li Xin needs to use a flawless strategy to destroy Chu and slap them in the face!

200,000 people to destroy Chu, he is not blowing big words, but has his own confidence, when Wu Anjun with tens of thousands of troops, he was able to raise Yan Ying, break Jiangling, now the state of Chu guards half of the east of the country, the king of Chu is a murderer of the name of the self-righteous and unjustifiable, Chu internal war and uncertain, just to launch a surprise war......

With young and brave generals, with the help of brave divisions, they wiped out the momentum of Wei and captured the state of Chu in one go! This is the king's intention, Li Xin felt that he had perfectly understood that the life of Lang Wei beside the king in those years was not in vain.

"Before the battle of Yique, Wu Anjun was suddenly appointed as the main general by the marquis, at that time, he was thirty years old, from a humble background, and had no outstanding achievements, but he was known to the world in a battle......"

When Li Xin stepped out of the gate of Xianyang Palace, he looked up at the towering Ji Que again, and his eyes were full of pride.

"I will destroy the eight-hundred-year-old Sheji of the Chu State, return victorious, and sacrifice Jing in front of the king here!"
