After training in the martial arts training ground for a long time, Lu Yan has always remembered what Ren Huan said, and is ready to choose an auspicious day to visit Zhao Tuo, but before that, he has to go to Meng Yi's mansion and ask Meng Shangqing to meet him.

In addition, the one hundred and fifty soldiers led by Lu Jing already have a lot of understanding of the crossbow, and Lu Yan does not have to supervise it every day, and leaves it to Lu Jing to be responsible.

At the end of summer, after Lu Yan went down to the court, he specially changed into a regular uniform and came to Meng Yi's mansion, and it seemed that Zhao Tuo's affairs could not be delayed any longer, otherwise it would be too late to sort out the army, after all, there were less than two months to go.

The current Meng Yi is not an ordinary person, formally speaking, he is an engineering construction expert in the entire Great Qin Empire, responsible for many large projects, commonly known as the so-called imperial contractor.

After saying hello to the guards in the house, Lu Yan walked straight towards the living room, because the weather was not too hot, Meng Yi was looking at the copywriting in the living room.

Meng Yi couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw Lu Yan come in, and immediately got up to greet him, "Ziyu, I haven't seen you for many days, I miss it very much, why did you come to visit so boldly and accuse me of not being well entertained?" There was a slight joking in the words.

"Meng Shangqing is really joking, I really have a big event today, and I want to ask my brother for help." Lu Yan immediately said straight to the point.

Meng Yi immediately prepared tea in the living room and invited Lu Yan to take a seat, "Ziyu has something important, and he still needs my help, it's really rare." As he spoke, he poured a cup of warm tea for Lu Yan.

"Brother doesn't know, the land of Baiyue has not yet been calmed, the king asked me to choose a good general, in the future to conquer Baiyue in the south, now there are generals, but no one has recommended it." Lu Yan said helplessly.

Meng Yi frowned slightly, he really didn't know when he attacked Baiyue, but he was still a little good at selecting generals, "In that case, I'll help Ziyu introduce you, I don't know who the general is in your eyes?" ”

"Zhao Tuo of the Central Protector." Lu Yan said in a low voice.

As soon as the words fell, Meng Yi showed a look of disdain, Zhao Tuo knew that since the defeat of the Battle of Baiyue, he had been a central protector in the West Gate of Xianyang, and he had not done much in two or three years.

"This person is useless, Ziyu should invite someone else." Meng Yi blurted out, with a look of disdain on his face, it seems that everyone's general impression of Zhao Tuo is not very good.

"Brother, I don't care if this person is useful or not, but there is one thing that is absolutely advantageous, that is, he has been to Baiyue at the beginning, so he must be invited this time." Lu Yan hurriedly said.

Meng Yi took a sip of tea, and also felt that what Lu Yan said made sense, and when the time came, he could just give him a false job to explore the way, at least Meng Yi thought so in his heart, so he casually agreed to Lu Yan's request.

The two discussed, Meng Yi got up and changed his clothes, and then rushed to the west gate of Xianyang with Lu Yan, to be honest, Lu Yan has been in Xianyang for a few years, and rarely goes to the west gate, after all, the Xianyang palace is on the east gate, although the west gate is in the county seat of Xianyang, but it is limited and narrow, and the forbidden army is relatively idle.

However, this time, Lu Yan found that the Western Forbidden Army was almost the same as the Eastern Forbidden Army, and even looked more rigid than the East Gate, so Lu Yan had a better impression of Zhao Tuo, although he had not seen this person's appearance.

Bypassing the corner gate, it is the Governor's Mansion of the Central Protector Army, and many military attaches are almost all in the mansion, Meng Yi is Shangqing after all, so he walked towards the mansion without a report.

Among them, after the right general camp, it is the middle guard barracks, and many metropolitan officers are doing things in it, "Ziyu, the front is." Meng Yi pointed to the pavilion in front of him and said.

When the soldier saw that it was Meng Yi Shangqing, he also hurriedly ran towards the pavilion, and in less than a moment, a young man in his twenties ran over from the pavilion.

looks very delicate, quite handsome between his eyebrows, and his figure is slender, but his face is slightly solemn, "I have seen Meng Shangqing in the Xiazhong Protector Zhao Tuo." The man said very respectfully.

It turned out that this kid was Zhao Tuo, but he didn't seem to notice Lu Yan next to Meng Yi, "Well, there is also this, the national lieutenant appointed by the king." In order to avoid embarrassment, Meng Yi then said.

Zhao Tuo glanced at Lu Yan slightly, "Meet the national captain, the two of you, please." The words were very stiff, but Lu Yan didn't mind them.

In the pavilion, Meng Yi was sitting in a precarious position, not giving Zhao Tuo a good face at all, "Meng Shangqing and the national lieutenant came to know what the so-called matter?" Zhao Tuo asked with some confusion.

"I want to invite Zhao Hujun to go to Baiyue, I don't know what to do?" Lu Yan immediately said straight to the point.

Zhao Tuo picked up the teacup with some apprehension, "I'm afraid this matter is not good, I am now a member of the Central Protector Army, and it is a little inappropriate to go on the expedition with the army." ”

Hearing Zhao Tuo say this, Meng Yi finally couldn't sit still, he had a great prejudice against Zhao Tuo in his heart, but because Lu Yan was here, it was inconvenient to get angry.

"Ziyu, I'm waiting outside the door now, what do you have to talk about." Meng Yi said and walked outside, some people's first impressions are really important.

Lu Yan was about to get up to stop Meng Yi, who knew that Meng Yi had already walked out of the door, and Zhao Tuo was even more confused, "Captain, why is this Meng Shangqing like this?" ”

"Zhao Hujun, can't you see this? Presumably, in this Protector's Governor's Mansion, there are many people who don't like you and rarely talk to you, right? Lu Yan said slowly.

"How did the lieutenant know about these things?" Zhao Tuo asked curiously.

"If I don't invite Meng Shangqing to come today, I'm afraid Zhao Hujun won't see me, the Meng family has served the Great Qin Empire for more than a hundred years, so Zhao Hujun will respect him so much, why do you have such an attitude in exchange?" Lu Yan is kind and seductive.

Zhao Tuo saw that Lu Yan knew his affairs very well, and couldn't help but be a little curious, "Please also ask the national captain for advice, Zhao Mou will definitely thank you." ”

"The army of the Qin State has always been called the army of tigers and wolves, even if it encounters the talents of the four gentlemen, Li Mu, Lian Po, and Zhao Hao, it can still dominate the Central Plains, why not? One is that the Qin army makes good use of people and wins with strategy, and the other is that the Qin army is brave, with clear rewards and punishments, and is invincible and invincible. ”

"And at the beginning, Zhao Hujun also fought with the army to fight Baiyue, but he was defeated and returned, the king took 500,000 and lost tens of thousands, isn't it a great shame, and it will be abandoned by the Qin army, and now I am looking for Zhao Hujun, just to save Zhao Hujun's face, so that Zhao Hujun can win a battle and wash away the shame." Lu Yan said very seriously.

Zhao Tuo listened carefully and felt reasonable, "What Ziyu said is extremely true, and now Zhao is really confused because of the trivial matter of losing the battle, and being independent by everyone in the palace." ”

Lu Yan also nodded, looking at this look, he should have figured it out, "Zhao Hujun went deep into Baiyue and was familiar with the terrain, I walked with you, and I will definitely be able to conquer Baiyue, set up counties and counties, and be famous through the ages." ”

Zhao Tuo, who said this, was also a little moved, and hurriedly bowed to Lu Yan, "Thanks to the teachings of the national captain, I am grateful." ”
