Wang Li, Zhang Han and other generals in the tent heard Hu Hai's words, and then saw Hu Hai's embarrassed look of wanting to find a crack in the ground to get into, and everyone didn't feel a trace of amusement, only full of relief.

What Hu Hai did before is no longer important in the hearts of the generals at this moment, what matters is what Hu Hai will do in the future. Shame and courage, His Majesty the Emperor has now woken up to the fact that it is not too late to make amends. That's what everyone thinks.

Although Hu Hai said a lot of speech, but everyone in the tent are senior generals of the forbidden army, this comprehension ability is still there, without waiting for Wang Li's introduction, a member of the general sitting under Wang Li first stood up, walked to the middle of the big tent and knelt on one knee and said loudly: "The former general of the forbidden army, Meng Kuo, visited Your Majesty." ”

At this time, hearing Meng Kuo's voice, Hu Hai woke up from an indescribable embarrassment, and found that the generals in the tent did not hear that they did not know the generals and were dissatisfied or despised as he thought, but solemnly began to introduce themselves to themselves.

Looking at the fanatical generals just like before entering the tent, Hu Hai knew that he was thinking too much. also felt the solemnity of the generals, and Hu Hai could also feel the ardent expectations in their hearts.

Packing up his mood, Hu Hai looked at Meng Kuo, who was still kneeling on the ground after the introduction, this was an unusually young general, with a face like a crown of jade. Hu Hai's heart suddenly moved: "General Meng is General Meng Tian's clansman?" ”

Hearing Hu Hai's question, Meng Kuo replied loudly: "Back to Your Majesty, General Meng Tian is the uncle of the subordinates. After saying this, Meng Kuo's expression moved slightly, but he didn't speak again in the end.

"Oh, sure enough, it's General Meng Tian's clansman. Good! Hu Hai said and raised his hand to signal Meng Kuo to get up, he saw the abnormality of Meng Kuo's expression, but he had his thoughts and didn't say anything.

Seeing Meng Kuo retreat to the side, an equally young general under Zhang Han immediately stood up and came to the middle of the big tent to kneel down on one knee. ”

The young general who had already come to the middle of the big tent and was about to salute said "Oh", but he didn't retreat to the banquet and stood in the big tent and said, "The subordinate forbidden army Zhonglang will pay a visit to Your Majesty. ”

Hu Hai looked at Wang Gan who was standing in the middle of the big tent, and Wang Li's shadow could be vaguely seen in his face, and he said with a half-truth: "General Wang Qian, isn't General Wang Aiqing's son?" ”

Wang Li, who was standing next to the throne of Hu Hai, heard it and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Your Majesty is very human, and Wang Qian is the subordinate dog." Between the words, he slapped Hu Hai with a big fart.

Hearing Wang Li's obvious sycophant, Hu Hai rolled his eyes helplessly and said secretly, no wonder this Wang Li was not killed by the powerful Zhao Gao like the Montessori brothers in history, just listen to this sycophant.

Hu Hai smiled: "Sure enough, the tiger father has no dogs, good!" ”

Then the remaining dozen or so generals of the forbidden army also introduced themselves one by one, Hu Hai did not find any more famous people in history from these people, but two more generals surnamed Meng among the remaining generals let him stay and observe.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, the Meng clan is really a big clan of the Qin Dynasty, all of them are in high positions at a young age, and they are not mediocre people, Meng Kuo will not talk about it, the remaining two are called Meng Li is the general of the rear army, and the other is called Meng Gan, who is only seventeen or eighteen years old, and is already in the official position of a school captain.

Hu Hai knew that it was difficult for the Qin army to be promoted to military positions, and it was necessary to have real military merits to be promoted step by step, and the children of the big clan at that time did not enjoy much family shadow, unlike the Han and Tang dynasties in later generations.

Hu Hai beckoned the generals to sit down and asked, "How many soldiers are there in Xianyang City?" "He has so many questions that he wants to know.

Wang Li got up and bowed down when he heard this, and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, there are more than 100,000 soldiers in Xianyang City, all of whom are the elite of my Great Qin. ”

Hearing this, Hu Hai finally asked a word that had not been asked, anyway, it was not a shame, and it didn't matter if there was one more time, so he said cheekily: "How many soldiers are there in the forbidden army that patrols with me?" ”

Even now that the generals in the tent no longer care much about Hu Hai's past, hearing Hu Hai's such an idiot's question, everyone can't help but pay attention, this is a forbidden army to protect your old and young life, you don't know how many people you brought out?

Feeling that the generals obviously attracted attention with a certain meaning, Hu Hai didn't see it with a thick old face, but he was scolding himself in his heart.

Wang Li was even more stunned when he heard this, and it took a long time to react and hurriedly said: "Eh, Your Majesty has a total of 200,000 forbidden troops accompanying the escort on this inspection, of which 50,000 in the front army are led by subordinates, 100,000 in the Chinese army are led by Zhao Gao, the former Zhonglang general, and 50,000 in the rear army are under the command of Zhang Shaofu. In addition to the miscellaneous peasants who accompanied him and were responsible for the grain and grass burden, the whole army numbered more than 500,000 people. ”

Hearing Wang Li's words, Hu Hai couldn't help but be stunned, he originally just thought that he was patrolling the forbidden army with him at most 100,000, but he didn't expect that there were 200,000 people, not counting the more than 300,000 miscellaneous servants and farmers, adding up to more than 500,000 people.

How much does it cost? Hu Hai scolded. No wonder the Nima family wants to rebel.

Seeing that Hu Hai was dumbfounded when he heard his words, Zhang Han thought that Hu Hai was suspicious, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, in fact, it is not a little, every time Your Majesty inspects a county, there will be county soldiers to escort you until you leave the county and go to the next county, so Your Majesty does not have to worry about safety." ”

Hu Hai glanced at Zhang Han speechlessly when he heard Zhang Han's words, he didn't know what to say.

After a long time, Hu Hai asked, "How many troops does my Great Qin have now?" ”

The generals in the tent were obviously a little uncomfortable with Hu Hai's army, and they realized it after a while. Wang Li thought for a while and said: "I have more than 100,000 soldiers in Daqin, of which 300,000 elites have always been led by General Meng Tian to defend Jiuyuan County to defend the Xiongnu, and General Ren Huan led 500,000 troops south to pacify the land of Baiyue, and now they are stationed in the three counties of Guiyang in the South China Sea. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Li paused and continued: "Your Majesty inspected the accompanying forbidden army of 200,000, and garrisoned Xianyang of more than 100,000. The rest are distributed in my Daqin border pass and the counties of the world. ”

Hu Hai listened to Wang Li's answer and thought quietly. The reason why he asked this question was to know how many troops he really had in his hands. Now that I count the 200,000 people I am traveling with, I will definitely not be able to run, and there are 100,000 Qin troops in Xianyang.

Although the Montessori brothers are now imprisoned, Zhao Gao is dead, and he will definitely not destroy the Great Wall and kill these two brothers. According to the original history, the Mengshi brothers would rather be killed by Zhao Gao than rebel, so the 300,000 Qin troops in Meng Tian's hands could also be controlled.

Ren Huan Hu Hai didn't know who it was, but when he heard about the conquest of Baiyue, he thought that it shouldn't be Zhao Tuo? Then he asked, "What about Zhao Tuo?" ”

Wang Li couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard Hu Hai ask Zhao Tuo, after all, Hu Hai didn't even seem to know him, how could he know Zhao Tuo? Although he wondered in his heart, he replied: "Back to Your Majesty, General Zhao Tuo is the deputy marshal of the expedition to Baiyue." ”

Wang Li explained this to Hu Hai, sure enough, there is still Zhao Tuo, but he didn't expect that Zhao Tuo was not the commander of the expedition to Baiyue, the world was in turmoil at the end of the Qin Dynasty, and the Qin Dynasty was about to fall, Zhao Tuo did not send troops to quell the chaos but led the troops to stand on his own, he still knew this.

Now that he is here, will this Zhao Tuo still lead the troops to stand on his own? If he had taken precautions to nip the sprouts of rebellion in the bud, it seemed that these 500,000 people could still be won.

Just when Hu Hai was still thinking about the biggest capital in his hand, a eunuch hurriedly came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Xianyang is coming." Ask to see Lang Zhongling Zhao Gao. ”

Hearing the eunuch's words, Hu Hai couldn't help frowning. Wang Li, who was next to him, saw Hu Hai's uncertain face, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the news of the murder of Zhao Gao and other thieves has been controlled, and the news has not come out. So ......"

Hu Hai knew what he meant, and immediately said, "Xuan." ”

After a while, a dusty sergeant entered the tent under the leadership of the eunuch. The sergeant came in and saw Hu Hai sitting in the middle of the big tent and couldn't help but be stunned, then quickly glanced around, stepped forward and bowed to the ground and said, "Your Majesty, see Your Majesty." ”

Hu Hai and the others all saw the vague sweep after the sergeant entered the tent. Seeing that Hu Hai didn't speak, Wang Li took the initiative to stand up and say, "What news about Xianyang has been transmitted to Zhao Gao. ”

The sergeant had a good eye and respectfully presented a package that he was carrying behind him. Wang Li took it and opened the package, which contained a bundle of bamboo slips, Wang Li did not open the bamboo slips, turned around and respectfully presented them to Hu Hai.

Hu Hai didn't take the bamboo slip and said, "Wang Aiqing read it to me." In fact, it was mainly Hu Hai who was worried that he didn't know the small seal on the bamboo slip.

Wang Li respectfully responded with a "whoop", opened the bamboo slip and glanced at it, and then his face changed greatly, and he exclaimed: "Your Majesty." Qi County and other places are in turmoil. ”
