Similarly, ten years of tuntian has completely wiped out his ambitions.

After losing his mind, he changed from a general admired by thousands of people to the leader of more than 10,000 farmers, whose central wound was difficult to talk to outsiders.

Thinking about the experience of the past ten years, Zhao Rat suddenly felt that there were many tastes.

At this time, after Xiong Huai finished speaking, he saw that Zhao Rat did not respond, so he looked at him differently.

Seeing that his face trembled slightly, his eyes were slightly moist, revealing an indescribably complex color, immersed in memories.

Seeing this, Xiong Huai sighed and stopped talking.

When the army came to the military camp where the general Zhao Rat was stationed, Zhao Rat reluctantly collected his mood and took the lead in getting out of the car, leading the way for the King of Chu and welcoming the King of Chu into the barracks.

After dinner, everyone left, Xiong Huai left the general Zhao Rat alone, Xiong Huai sat on the upper seat, and Zhao Rat sat on the first place on the lower left of Xiong Huai.

Xiong Huai was silent for a moment, and then asked: "The widow let the general be stationed in Hanzhong for ten years, has the general ever had a grudge against the widow?" ”

When Zhao Rat heard this, he hurriedly replied: "King, the minister doesn't dare to complain!" ”

Xiong Huai nodded, and then sighed: "Don't dare, that is, I have a thought in my heart." ”

Zhao Rat was stunned, and immediately bowed: "King..."

"The general doesn't have to explain!" Xiong Huai stretched out a hand to interrupt Zhao Mouse's words, paused, and continued: "Even if the general has a complaint in his heart, the widow can understand that this is the widow's mistake, and he failed to let the general return to Yingdu as soon as possible." ”

Saying that, Xiong Huai spoke again: "But the widow asked the general to guard Hanzhong, and it was also a last resort. At that time, Qin Sima Coo's attack on Shu to take Ba, and after that, Sima Co has been stranded in Bashu, training soldiers in Bashu, building ships, and having the intention of cutting Chu.

Therefore, the widow took Sima Jian as the Wu county guard, and led the Hanzhong Shangyong with a general to guard against the Qin State. ”

Then, Xiong Huai looked at Zhao Rat and said: "Hanzhong is mediocre, go down the Han River, you can go directly to Yunmeng and threaten Yingdu." At the same time, Shangyong connects Deng Wan in the east, if Shangyong is captured by Qin, then Fangcheng is not owned by Chu. If Fangcheng is lost, Jianghan will have no danger to defend.

Therefore, although there is no war in Hanzhong, the place is remote, and it is difficult for reinforcements to arrive in a short time. If there is no admiral to guard here, the widow will not be able to sleep and eat. The widow let the general guard Hanzhong and lead the Shangyong, not to forget the general, but to entrust the burden of half of the Yingdu Fangcheng to the general. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Rat bowed: "The king, the minister... Minister..."

Zhao Rat opened his mouth, unable to speak.

Since the Qin State occupied Bashu, the importance of Hanzhong Shangyong is self-evident, and he knows this in his heart, so he has only been here for ten years. Otherwise, he would have resigned a few years ago.

However, what makes Zhao Rat difficult is that with his talent and status, he should not be stumbling here in Hanzhong, but should conquer the city for the king of Chu.

At the very least, the war to destroy the Yue Kingdom should not be without his position as a rat...

At this time, Xiong Huai saw that there were endless points between Zhao Mouse's words, and he knew that Zhao Rat still had some resistance in his heart.

As for Zhao Mouse's thoughts, Xiong Huai thought about it, Shangyong Hanzhong is very important to the Chu State, this has already been said, Zhao Rat is still dissatisfied with him, the king of Chu, at this time, so the only thing left to be dissatisfied is that he has not made meritorious contributions.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai said again: "I don't know what the general thinks, what does it mean to have a great contribution to the country"

Zhao Rat was stunned when he heard this, hesitated for a moment, and responded: "Raise the virtuous and make the country governed, such as the virtuous Sun Shuao, is to make great contributions to the country." In addition, it is a great achievement to conquer and win all foreign wars, and to take land and destroy the country! ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Rat once again thought of Nanzheng Bashu and Yue Guolai, and there were only endless regrets in his heart.

Once upon a time, he also had such an opportunity, but unfortunately, his fate was not good!

Xiong Huai shook his head when he heard this, and said, "The general has one less kind of merit. It is also a great achievement to guard the border passes, so that the enemy country does not dare to attack, and so that the people in the country do not have the risk of war. ”

"This..." Zhao Rat was stunned, thinking that the King of Chu was really comforting him.

Xiong Huai continued: "As a general, I am proud to be good at fighting. However, few people think that there are two kinds of good fighters, one of which is invincible and invincible, and they are well-known good fighters. The other is to live in one place, so that the country does not dare to attack, from then on the soldiers are not in danger of the sword soldiers, the people have no fear of conscription, the sword soldiers are not prosperous, the soldiers are not raised, this is also the good fighters in the hearts of the widows.

In the past, King Qi Wei once said that Qi had a son of hope and guarded the river, so that the Zhao people did not dare to go down the river to fish, and since then Qi has no trouble in the west, which is a treasure that shines for thousands of miles. Therefore, those who guard the border and can repel the invading enemy are qualified generals, and those who can make the enemy country dare not invade and cannot afford to fight are famous generals.

Now the general has lived in Hanzhong for ten years, and the Qin State has been out of the military customs and has also made trouble in Badi, but Nanzheng has not moved. This makes the widow not worry about Hanzhong, so that the widow can calmly lay out the country, which is the general's credit.

Not to mention, the general guarded Hanzhong, not only did he not need the widow to mobilize soldiers from other places to transport food to support, but in this expedition to Vietnam, the widow could also transfer food from Shangyong to think that it was a military need, isn't this the general's credit?

In the eyes of the widows, this is the general's prestige, so that the Qin State does not dare to attack! can deter people in a country, isn't this the world's famous general! ”

When Zhao Rat heard this, he immediately felt that what he had done in Hanzhong in the past ten years had not been in vain. Thinking about it, he immediately responded excitedly: "The king, the minister should not be so praised by the king!" ”

"Deserve it, the general deserves it!" Xiong Huai saw that Zhao Rat finally had emotional ups and downs, and he was immediately overjoyed.

So, he made persistent efforts and said: "General, now the situation in the Chu State, presumably the generals also know that there is no one available for the outnumbered people, and Ye Gong, who has passed the sixtieth year in a row, has also gone out of the mountain to guard Danxi again. Therefore, the widow hopes that the general will not regard himself as old and continue to guard Hanzhong for the widow. ”

"This..." Zhao Rat's heart froze.

Although he knows his own physical condition, it is really no longer good. However, the king of Chu had already rejected him twice, and now he came to persuade him in person, knowing the reason, he was emotional, and in this case, he could no longer open his mouth to refuse.

Otherwise, he himself is a hundred, but what about his descendants?

Xiong Huai saw that Zhao Rat did not refuse, and said: "In addition, the widow also hopes that the general will not resign from the post of general and accept the widow's 500 households. In addition, the widow will also order Gong Yin to expand the general's tomb, and bury the widow's side according to the system of the princes! ”

When Zhao Rat heard this, he didn't hesitate in his heart, and immediately bowed: "The minister is willing to serve the king, if the Qin army wants to capture Hanzhong, unless it steps on the corpse of the minister, it is absolutely impossible." ”

Xiong Huai saw that Zhao Rat was talking, and suddenly became full of vitality, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and he was immediately overjoyed: "Okay, that widow will entrust the land of Hanzhong to the general." ”
