Chapter 160: Prison Theory
"General!"
"If you take a closer look, your own veterans are all exposed, can the car move?"
"Ahem... Ahem, what is that, the subordinates didn't pay attention. β
"Forget it, that's it for you to play chess with rammers, you regret one more step, don't play as an example!"
"General!"
"What are you going to do?!"
"General, I mean...... The general is here......! β
The chess player turned around at this time, and saw that the familiar face did not react much, seeing that the opponent just now became resigned, he knew that this game could not be played, so he had to clean up the mess, and asked lightly: "Why do you have time to come to me, but what is the emperor's edict?" β
The person who came looked a little young, but he had already grown a mustache, hugged a military salute and said respectfully: "General Meng, rest assured, there is my king here to leave, and General Dingbao will not be lost." β
Meng Tian rearranged the chess pieces and asked casually, "Sit down, are you free?" What's next? β
Wang Li lifted the hem of the big hem back, sat on the futon and also began to place the chess pieces, set up the chessboard and opened the posture, the two of them were speechless for a while, only smelling the crisp snap when the children fell.
After three or five rounds of killing, Meng Tian knew that Wang Li had learned this new chess method that implied military theory with his heart, a general in charge of an army of 300,000 who was so busy that his feet did not leave the ground that he could play against a person who had nothing to do in prison all day, in addition to talent, there was also no shortage of work.
"What, you can't forget that big defeat?"
Wang Li's hand trembled, and then he unswervingly moved his chess to swallow the opponent's son: "Shame, how can I forget?" β
Meng Tian nodded, did not answer immediately, and after walking three or four more steps, he suddenly asked: "Is it that Meng's limit has arrived, and the emperor has a new edict?" β
Wang Li was very stable this time: "No. β
"So you're leaving?"
Wang Li stopped: "How did General Meng know?" β
"You said to keep me safe, but you added that as long as you are here, you can't help but think of it......"
Wang Li gritted his teeth: "A few days ago, I received a military report that Shaofu Zhang Han repelled the rebels who invaded Xianyang with 200,000 prisoners, and the thief chief Zhou Wen has been awarded the head, and his hundreds of thousands of thieves have also been wiped out......"
The mustache at the corner of Meng Tian's mouth gradually rose, and when the snow-white teeth were exposed, the look in the eyes of this Great Qin Warrior was already terrifying: "It should be, it should be, the little Bu official also wants to turn the sky, if Da Qin is attentive, why will Hangu Pass be broken?"
What's the matter, is the emperor going to transfer you to the customs to quell the rebellion now? β
Wang Li did not answer directly, but took advantage of the little time left to tell the situation: "Now that Zhang Han's army has arrived in Sanchuan, it will be able to rush to the aid of Xingyang in a few days, so the next target is ......."
The two of them had already drawn a simple map on the ground while they were talking, and with a stroke of the dead branches, a name blurted out in unison: "Chen Sheng!" β
Wang Li tapped his finger and continued: "General Meng doesn't know, now the hometown of the Six Kingdoms is very fierce, there are traitors here, here, and here, and there are rebels and thieves who are making trouble, they vainly claim that Wang has many followers, if Zhang Han goes deep alone, it is very easy for one to suffer a big loss if he is not careful......"
"Let's talk about it, what kind of people are there, Meng Mou to see if his vision has regressed."
"Here is Qi Wang Tian Dan, this person is brave and resourceful and popular with the people, when he and his brothers killed the county officials of Di County, he was very calculating."
"Qi people keep it, and they have some ability to demagogue, forget the rest, don't worry about it."
"The Wei people are entrenched here, the pseudo-king Wei is the brother of the fake king of Wei, and Wei Xiang Zhou Shi was originally a fierce general under Chen Sheng, and he has some ability."
"There is no strong army after the martial arts, and there are no cadres after Xinling, what are Chen Sheng's former subordinates to fear?"
ββ¦β¦β
Wang Li said a lot, the Qin rangers would bring back useful and useless news every day, but the rest was really not well-known, and Meng Tian was not even interested in saying more.
Until he arrived at Pengcheng, Wang Li didn't introduce an unusual word, and said in a suppressed voice: "Some time ago, many thief chieftains gathered here, and I heard that the Chu people took the initiative to convene to discuss the actions that are unfavorable to my Great Qin. β
Meng Tian also put away his contempt, his eyes left the chessboard, looking at the sketch on the ground in a daze, after looking at it for a while, he looked at the chess again, and said with a long sigh: "If Daqin has a good person, it will definitely be destroyed in the hands of these people!" β
"Why did the general say that? Your Majesty was only deceived by traitors for a while, but now he has suddenly realized that Daqin is still the same Daqin, and the sharp warriors can cut through thorns and thorns at any time, and return the world to the world! β
"It's different, it's not the same......"
"What do you mean?!"
"There are only two of you and me here, you might as well say a word of heart-wrenching, Wang Li, do you really think that the current emperor can work hard?"
From the day he was imprisoned, the emperor refers to the second emperor, and His Majesty refers to the first emperor, this small detail is very clear, in his heart, there is only one Majesty who swallows mountains and rivers, but unfortunately he passed away......
No matter how much Wang Li cheered himself up, he couldn't hide his heart, knowing that Hu Hai was not a good king, he had to reply: "Your Majesty is still young, it will be better in the future, besides, the current situation is like this, what can you and I do?!" β
Meng Tian didn't continue to say that Hu Hai was not, but sighed: "Yes, the current situation is like this......
Great Qin has an enemy like Xiang Chu, even if it was Fusu Gongzi who succeeded to the throne at the beginning, I am afraid that it will still not be able to make a difference......"
How much Meng Tian admired Fusu, Wang Li knew, hearing these remarks, he couldn't help frowning: "General Meng, is this matter so serious?" β
"It's so serious, according to Meng Tian, only His Majesty's resurrection can turn the tide."
"It's ...... a big deal"
"No, it's not alarmist at all, it's my sincere words.
General Wang might as well think about it, who in the world can deliver such exquisite utensils to the hands of the people?
Didn't you? The public loser is arrogant, but even Luban's wooden kite has been lost, and the Mo family is not offensive and good at defending, how many things are there to this day? Wasn't it also defeated by Wuzhong City?
If such wonderful things as Quyuan plough and cylinder car come from the hands of those two families, I am afraid that they will either be included in the secret record of Lu Gong, or passed on by word of mouth among the inkers, how can it benefit the world in such a short period of time as now!
It's a pity that the second emperor turned a blind eye to this, and the old Qin people in Guanzhong are still working hard!
That's the difference in spirit! β
Wang Li was angry: "General Meng, Wang Moujing is a senior and can't bear to speak ill of him, if you continue to be disrespectful to Your Majesty, I won't follow it!" β
Meng Tian smiled and continued: "You know it very well in your heart, but you can't believe it, right?
Let's talk about the utensils used in the army, thistle terrestris and a small hole to protect against cavalry, do you remember how this method came about? β
"Of course the Admiral remembers! This is what General Shi learned from the Chu people by trekking through mountains and rivers to increase the prestige of our army to resist the Hu people! β
"At that time, the entire army of the dog was wiped out, why did the Chu people just let go of Shima?"
"This ......"
Meng Tian was a little disappointed, shook his head and said, "Wang Li, if your vision is limited to this, it will be a blessing or a curse to quell the rebellion, and the victory or defeat is unpredictable......
"The last general is not convinced!"
"Not convinced?! When Your Majesty was there, I asked for an army of 200,000 to quell the rebellion, and now, if you give me 400,000 people, you dare not say anything to exterminate all the traitors, do you dare to disagree?! β
"The last general has been defeated once, and he already has the experience to deal with them......"
Meng Tian didn't continue to argue with him, and instead brought up the old words: "The iron thistle terrestris and the tripping horse pit were deliberately taught by the Chu people in Jiuyuan Army, just because we are in the northern Xinjiang to always resist the Hu people, and the same is true of the horse pedal method brought back by the dog, Wang Li, do you dare to say that this is not a world of difference in spirit?"
The Chu people are very different from those grass cowards, you don't want to heal the scars and forget the pain! β
Wang Li lowered his head and was silent for a long time, and after a while, he mustered up the last trace of unwillingness in his heart and whispered: "If the situation is really as General Meng said, will my Great Qin never be able to return to the sky?" β
"The Ming Lord, the Cadres, and the Strong Army are all indispensable, so that Great Qin can repel a strong enemy."
ββ¦β¦β
"Don't believe me? Then I'll give you another example! Meng Tian picked up a chess piece as he spoke, and replied: "This thing is called chess, and I don't need to say more about the implied art of war, to put it mildly, chess is more straightforward and all-pervasive than the game of black and white."
So let me ask you, the black and white game began with Emperor Yao's godson Danzhu, and now who can produce chess on a par with it, who will be?
With such characters and endless farm tools and ordnance, wouldn't it be easy to subvert the world?
Meng was in a trap, and he regretted all the time that he didn't know people well back then, and let go of my Daqin's first rival! β
Wang Li's head finally turned around, he deeply felt that the gap between himself and Meng Tian was not half a star, and his tone immediately changed to asking: "General Meng, then how should I deal with ......?"
A few days ago, the Mo family brought a message, saying that the Chu people said that the horses and horses can be used to kick Qin and Chu, but the only ones who are wary of the Hu people are not answered, do you want to take this opportunity to spy on one or two? β
"And what? Tell me about it! β
Wang Li said the words from the Mo family, and while Meng Tian had not yet entered into contemplation, he added: "General Meng, in fact, there is one thing that the general has been hiding from you, that is, what Ling Gongzi brought back is not only a horsehoe, but also an artifact called a horseshoes, which is a big matter, I have only told His Majesty about the secret music, but unfortunately there has been no response......
"Horseshoe? What? What's the use?! β
Wang Li was another spittle, and as he spoke, Meng Tian's expression became more and more serious, and in the end, almost as black as iron, he asked, "Nailing the horseshoe can make the war horse no longer afraid of long journeys?" Have you tried? β
"I tried, but in the old days horses did not have such things, and if they ran for hundreds of miles in a row, they needed to repair the horses' hooves, otherwise they would be scrapped if they ran again.
After several attempts, the war horse with the shoe nailed can go straight to Xianyang from here, going back and forth several times without any damage, which is really the important weapon of the country......"
Meng Tian lowered his head, his messy hair covering his face, making people wonder what he was feeling at this time.
Despite this, Wang Li still saw a drop of tears slipping down, and then thought of what happened to Meng Tian, and suddenly felt a little empathy.
"General Meng, as long as my king still has a breath of air, I will definitely let the general usher in the day when he will ride his horse and gallop again, and the old Qin people will never say anything!"
"Is Meng sad for personal honor and disgrace?! I think that the current emperor does not distinguish between importance and right and wrong, and treats the country's important weapon like this, how can Daqin see the future! β
Several times the secret report was played, but there was no movement like a mud cow entering the sea, Wang Li was also a little shaken, gritted his teeth and said: "General, the last general is here to ask me how to deal with the enemy, how many men and horses should I bring?" β
"How many men do you want to bring? Shouldn't it have been the emperor's order? β
"It's a different time!"
Meng Tian thought for a while, turned his head slowly, and said: "With horses and shoes, it is enough to leave 100,000 people on the border, but you must remember that the Jiuyuan Army is the foundation of the revival of Great Qin, and when you encounter the Chu people, don't be careful, be cautious and cautious!" β
"Whoa! The last general knows!
β¦β¦
What about the horseshoe and the shoe...... Do you want to be careful to guard against the Hu people according to what the Chu people say?! β
"Do you still need me to teach this? The rebels in the Central Plains are enemies, but aren't the Huns outside the border plug? Absolutely! β
"But the last general is worried that these two things are easy to imitate, and it is really impossible to prevent them!"
The Qin people could easily learn from the Chu people, and it was also easy for the Huns to discover the mystery from the prisoners of war and capture.
However, Meng Tian is Meng Tian, and after a little contemplation, the advantages and disadvantages of these two things were explained by him: "How long can you prevent it, how long can you prevent it, do your best!"
If you really can't do it, there is also a priority, for example, the horse pedal is equipped with a war horse that is extremely difficult to hide, so it is simply used generously......
I know what you're worried about, but the biggest effect of this thing is to shorten the training time of cavalry, and it should be of greater benefit to us compared to the Hu people who grow on horseback, because the Central Plains people are indeed slightly inferior to their riding skills.
As for the horseshoe...... I think it's better for you to find some henchmen to use it carefully, the Hu people are good at guerrillas, if there is this kind of sharp weapon that is not afraid of wear and tear, it will be a nightmare for thousands of miles of border walls in my Great Qin!
Therefore, the matter of the farrier must be cautious, the battlefield meets, the horses killed in battle must cut off their hooves and bring them back, the surrounded cavalry must gallop to the aid with all their might, there is nothing to say! β
At this time, Wang Li did not look like a general with a heavy army in his hands, but stood solemnly like a child listening to a lecture, listening to a sentence, and in the end, he only nodded his head.
"If General Meng escapes from the cage, how can there be a chance for the Chu people to be murderous!"
Meng Tian didn't take this flattery, as if he was still worried about everything in the general's position, he turned his head and asked: "You immediately lead the troops south, do you know who the Second Emperor sent to take over the guard?!" β
"Beiyi!"
"Beiyi? Why have you never heard of it? Where is Su Jiao and Shima? Why don't you let the two of them guard the border? β
Wang Li's face was a little strange: "General Su and General Shi can fight well, I plan to take them to conquer the ministers, this Beiyi is still recommended by Wang himself, not assigned by His Majesty......"
"Nonsense! Do you think that a person can lead a leader without knowing the military like Zhang Han?! You are joking with the border of a country, and you have the trust of Your Majesty and Great Qin! β
As soon as Meng Tian's words fell, he saw the light at the cell door dim, and a person flashed in: "Father, am I as bad as you say?!" β
ββ¦β¦οΌοΌβ
"How are you?"
Wang Li has been trained since he came, and now he is very happy to see Meng Tian's wonderful expression, and he said with a strange smile: "Ling Gongzi is familiar with the war, and he is more familiar with the two things of horseshoes and horseshoes, so the last general has made a decision in private, and I hope that General Meng will not blame ......."
Meng Tian obviously hadn't come back to his senses yet, and frowned vigorously and said, "This is impossible!" The Meng family has long been a wanted criminal by the emperor, how can you easily change your name and get in?!
What about your mother, is she okay? You didn't suffer at the hands of the Chu people, did you? β
Meng Tian, who was worried about the reckless army to force the emperor, would rather die, so Meng Yi never showed up to see each other, but now that they have met, the father and son have a heartfelt complaint.
Hearing that his son just broke his leg again, Meng Tian was very happy; Hearing that the Chu people were doing things in an orderly manner, Meng Tian was very worried; Hearing that this group of rightful rivals had promised to help rescue the Meng Bu clan, Meng Tian's face had become very unsightly; When the son finally took out the customs clearance talisman they had forged for himself, the well-informed general figured out many joints at once.
No wonder they were able to get out from under His Majesty's nose back then! It's no wonder that nothing came of collecting information about this group of people in the first place!
Fake name, fake surname, fake origin, but with a Qin official himself is not innocent and fake, how can he be like a fish in water!
Now you actually let yourself get out with this thing?! How unreasonable! Meng Tian is not wrong, why should he be like a small night!
"This is to regard my Great Qin Law as nothing!
Meng Yi, you should have your surname Bei from today onwards! Join the thieves, my Meng family has no descendants like you!
The old man is ashamed of the first emperor and the ancestorsββ! β
"Father's ββ!"
"General Meng, don't worry, in fact, this is not a bad thing......"
Meng Tian's anger came up, but no matter who was right or wrong, he scolded with his head and face: "Shut up! You still have the face to speak for this rebel! How could General Wang Jian have a grandson like you!
Since he took this thing of the traitor, this person can't be counted as my Great Qin people, and he helped Bei Yi get the general position, what is the difference between this move and betraying Great Qin!?
Wang Li, don't forget, General Wang Ben's bones are still not cold, and he is still watching you from the sky! β
Meng Tian's evil fire has both the powerlessness of the world and the inability to stand up, and the shame of being angry with his son.
The people in the gate, those who would rather die standing than live, what about being trapped in a cage? As a general, you are destined to bleed!
Either spill on the battlefield and fight against the enemy, or become faithful and remain in the world.
Now that he persuaded himself to take a fake document and flee to Saiwai, it was actually his own son, Meng Tian only felt a bloody tear flowing in his heart, bitter and astringent, and the pain was unbearable.
"Squeak-bang!"
A door separated the two sad people, Meng Yi stood outside the prison and refused to move, Wang Li patted him on the shoulder, and said: "The matter has come to this, you and I have no way to go back, you still have to guard the border and make some merits, and come back in a while......"
ββ¦β¦β
