"Presumptuous." Wang Li on the throne roared in a low voice. "This is an important place for discussion in the army, and you Li Guangli are yelling here."

Li Guangli also realized at this time that his behavior was indeed out of character, and when he saw that Wang Li, the marshal of the Northern Army, was glaring at him with a gloomy face, he sat down a little unwillingly, snorted heavily, and said to Wang Li; "Wang Li, I am soft-spoken, you are the commander of the Northern Army, and you will take the lead in fighting back to Xianyang, so what do you say."

Wang Li forcibly suppressed his anger, and his face was very ugly.

If Meng Tian was sitting here now, the generals would not dare to make a mistake, but unfortunately he was not Meng Tian. Although he was the deputy commander of the Northern Army before taking over the position, he only came from Xianyang three years ago, and although he had a prominent family background and good talent, he did not have much say in the border army ranked by military merits and qualifications.

Although Meng Tian treated him very politely, he was more respectful of his grandfather and father, and Wang Li himself did not have much military exploits. Therefore, as soon as he took over the position of marshal, he couldn't wait to lead the army to the north, wanting to build momentum, but the hateful thing was that the cunning head man of the Xiongnu just sent Zuo Xian Wang to the south to test Daqin, and when he saw the northern army counterattacking, he decisively retreated north, so that Wang Li returned in vain.

Wang Li slowly glanced at the more than ten generals and lieutenants under the seat with a gloomy face, Meng Tian has been in charge of the Northern Army for nearly ten years, most of these people are his henchmen, and he Wang Li only sat on the position of the commander of the Northern Army by virtue of the will of the imperial court. If the court in Xianyang is not legitimate, it means that his appointment is not legitimate. If Wang Li didn't care about Meng Tian's life and death at this time, I am afraid that these arrogant soldiers sitting down would rush up to override him, the commander of the Northern Army.

Squinted at Su Jiao and Shijian who were sitting on the side, Su Jiao sat there expressionlessly, unable to see what he was thinking. Shijian looked at himself with a smile and a faint mocking look.

Wang Xingzhong knew that as the marching Sima of the Northern Army, Meng Tian's left arm and right arm, military merits and qualifications were far superior to his own. And he is also from the Qin family, if there is no Wang Li, the deputy marshal who parachuted from Xianyang a year ago, I am afraid that the position of this handsome man will be his turn to wade into the stream. So Shijian was happy to see Wang Li's embarrassment, and as for Su Jiao, there was no threat to him Wang Li. Although he is the deputy marshal of the Northern Army, he is from a civilian background, and the position of commander of the Northern Army will not be his turn no matter what.

Therefore, Su Jiao should have a wait-and-see attitude, he can fight for it, wading in the stream, he is a child of the family, he will take care of more, and if he uses it well, he can also make him stand on his side.

It seems that the biggest problem at the moment is to appease these generals who are surging with emotions.

Wang Wei had an idea, raised his hand and pressed it down to signal everyone to be quiet, and said slowly; "The general has the grace to promote us and others, and he is the pillar of my Great Qin, so for both private and public affairs, our northern army must find a way to protect him."

When the generals heard Wang Li's words, their faces turned slightly pale, and Li Guangli also nodded; "What the marshal said is reasonable."

"It's just ......" Wang Li sighed: "If we lead the troops south without an edict, it will be tantamount to rebellion, Xianyang and Beidi, Longxi two counties still have more than 100,000 troops, when the time comes, we only need to retreat and refuse, we will have nothing to do." ”

Li Guangli snorted coldly and said disdainfully; "How can those old soldiers in Guanzhong be the opponents of my Northern Army, Dashuai, you give me 50,000 troops, I am willing to be the vanguard, and be the first to attack Xianyang."

Wang Li shook his head slowly; "Li Guangli, what you think is too simple, we have no edict to raise troops to attack the capital, it is already equivalent to rebellion, if the prince of Fusu is here, it is okay, we can say that the prince of Fusu is set up by His Majesty's edict, and then rely on the prestige of the general and the prestige of our northern army, it must be easy to attack Xianyang. It's a pity that Fusu Gongzi didn't listen to the advice of the general and decided to commit suicide by order, so our northern army has no orthodoxy to stand, so how many soldiers are willing to attack Xianyang with us, even if we attack Xianyang, who can we set up? ”

Wang Li's gaze slowly swept over the faces of the generals, and his words were a little calm: "Don't mention the rebellion, don't mention it again, who dares to leak half a sentence of what has been said in the big tent today, and kill them together." ”

Seeing that most of the generals were slightly pale, they seemed to be relieved, and Wang Li's heart was tightly hung before he let go. It seems that he guessed correctly, although these generals are all Meng Tian's henchmen, they may not be willing to rebel for his future. Moreover, according to the usual practice of Great Qin, the wives and families of the generals who went out on the expedition had to stay in Xianyang, and as hostages in disguise, they had to consider their own family children if they wanted to enter Xianyang.

Li Guangli's old face was flushed, and although he was angry in his heart, he also knew that Wang Li was telling the truth, so he had to shout loudly with hatred; "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, then what do you say we should do, do you really care about the life or death of the general?"

Wang Li shook his head. "Lao Li, you are wrong, we don't do anything is the most beneficial to the general, as long as our 300,000 army is still in the north for a day, it is like a sharp sword hanging on the head of Xianyang, Li Sizhao will never dare to embarrass the general, at most he will just imprison the general."

"Curved beams." Wang Li turned his head and shouted, but Qu Liang stood up and arched his hand; "What does the marshal command?"

"You quickly lead the 30,000 troops of the front army to the south and camp on the bank of Luoshui on the border with Beidi County, if someone from Beidi County comes to ask, it will be said that it is a normal military drill of the Northern Army, remember, do not cross Luoshui and clash with the Beidi Army."

"The last general commands." Qu Liang bowed down and took the order to retreat, Wang Li took a long breath, and said: "Our move is to show Xianyang the dissatisfaction of our northern army, they will never dare to be unfavorable to the general at such a time, so as to give us a buffer time to think about countermeasures." ”

Seeing that Wang Li had resolved a potential threat of 'forcing the palace' without missing a trace, Shijian couldn't help but have some appreciation for him, nodded secretly, clapped his hands and smiled: "The handsome move is beautiful, firstly, it can protect the general, and secondly, it will not be too stiff with the new emperor." ”

Wang Li couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw that Shijian actually openly supported him, and nodded at him with a smile. Zhengse picked up the wine lord on the table and stood up, and the fourteen generals who sat down also stood up with the wine.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in the autumn of so many events, our Northern Army should be even more closely united, so that we can confront Xianyang and welcome back the general. I also hope that you can be of one heart with me, and the king will leave the first to pay respect. After speaking, he raised his head and dried up the wine in the knighthood.

"Obey the orders of the commander." All the generals shouted in unison, and they all lifted their heads together.

Wang Li returned to the tent, faintly had a headache, and rubbed his temples with his hands. I only feel tired everywhere, and I can't help but miss the brocade clothes and jade food in Xianyang, and the beautiful wife.

I don't know if I'm lucky or not. He was originally the eldest son of the Wang family, the grandson of the general Wang Qian, and the grandson of the general Wang Ben.

But Wang Li was unwilling to live under the huge glory halo of his grandfather and father all his life, so he asked the first emperor to come to the border county, wanting to catch up with his ancestors by his own strength. The First Emperor admired his idea and appointed him as Meng Tian's deputy to assist Meng Tian in commanding the war against the Xiongnu.

After coming to Beidi for more than three years, Wang Li's ambition gradually wore off, and he began to get tired of the monotonous life here, and wanted to complete the quadrennial assessment as soon as possible before requesting to be transferred back to Xianyang. Unexpectedly, God actually gave him the opportunity he dreamed of at such a time - Fusu was given death, Meng Tian was dismissed and imprisoned, and he was suddenly pushed to the front when he was originally low-key in the Northern Army.

When Wang Li was still immersed in contemplation, he was interrupted by the shouts of the soldiers outside the tent, frowned, and said with some displeasure; "Come in."

"What's the matter?"

"Tell Dashuai, when you left, a man and a woman came to the door and asked to see Dashuai, and the woman also said that she was Dashuai's niece."

"Niece?" Wang Li was stunned for a moment, then his eyes showed an incredible look, and he hurriedly asked his soldiers: "Where are they?" ”

"The villain made his own decisions, let them stay and wait for the marshal to return to the camp to meet again."

Wang Li hurriedly urged: "Bring it quickly." ”

"No."

Not long after the soldiers went down, they saw two young people, a man and a woman, being brought up, and it was Han Xin and Ying Ke.

After bidding farewell to Liu Bang, Han Xin and Ying Ke went west to Dangjun, and then north to Hanoi, Shangdang, Handan, and Taiyuan counties, which lasted nearly a month, and finally arrived at Shangjun Fushi.

As soon as Ying Ke saw Wang Li, the grievances and inner torture he had suffered in the past two months suddenly came up, tears couldn't stop falling, and the cry rushed into Wang Li's arms.

"Uncle, woo, I thought I would never see you again." Win grabbed Wang Li's shirt with all his strength, and cried silently.

"My father is dead, I heard them say that the eldest brother also committed suicide, and said that you are not in the skin, and Ke'er still thinks that you don't want me anymore."

Wang Li gently patted Ying Ke's back, let her tears wet her clothes, and said with relief; "Ke'er, it's okay, isn't my uncle here? It's okay, it's okay. ”

After Ying Ke sobbed for a while, the crying gradually stopped, Wang Li gently straightened her body, looked at her original white jade flawless face was full of tears, and her face was much haggard, so she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with some distress, and asked; "Ke'er, tell my uncle, why didn't you appear in Xianyang and in Fushi?"

Win wiped away his tears with his sleeves, sniffled and intermittently talked about what he saw under the bed that day, Wang Li's face changed greatly after hearing this, and he said angrily; "Okay, you Zhao Gao, you actually want to rob my Great Qin, and Li Si, hmph, I always thought that he was loyal to Great Qin, but I didn't expect to be such a treacherous person."

Win Ke nodded, and sobbed and pleaded; "Uncle, now Ke'er is a relative you can rely on, you must avenge your father and eldest brother."

Wang Li replied in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Ke'er, with your uncle here, I will definitely be able to take care of you, and I won't let you suffer any more grievances." Wang Li glanced at Han Xin on the side again, he didn't shy away from him when he saw that he could talk about winning, so he guessed that Han Xin must also know the inside story.

Wang Li looked at Han Xin, and hurriedly took Han Xin's hand and introduced him to Wang Li, and specially said that he was able to come to Fushi with his whole body, which was completely Han Xin's help. Wang Li nodded, looked at Han Xin up and down, and saw that he was heroic and extraordinary, and couldn't help but feel a little good in his heart, so he smiled and said: "This little brother, thank you for taking care of Ke'er along the way, I can try my best to meet your requirements." ”

Han Xin hurriedly stepped forward and bowed; "Dashuai, I didn't help the princess because I saw injustice, so Han Xin didn't dare to ask Dashuai to give me any reward. It's just that I have always wanted to join Congrong, but I have no way to serve the country, and I hope that the marshal can accept Han Xin as a pawn in the Northern Army. ”

"Oh?" Wang Li saw that Han Xin didn't want to be rewarded, but only wanted to join the Northern Army, and couldn't help but feel a little strange, so he said with a smile; "The standards for accepting people in my northern army are also very strict, and you must be proficient in riding and archery, have you done it, little brother?"

Han Xin nodded, and as soon as he looked up and saw several geese flying by in the sky, he calculated from his heart and pulled out his feather arrows and bowed.

"I heard that the summer geese are plump, and the handsome should not have lunch yet, so I might as well shoot one to add a game to the handsome's lunch."
