The news of Zhang Han's return was not announced to the public, because his identity was too sensitive, so he only knew a few people who were in charge of the imperial court. Externally, it was propaganda that this part of the surrendered Qin army spontaneously rebelled from the Chu army, crossed the Shaoxi Mountain and returned to the Qin state.

The more than 40,000 people he brought back were quickly dismantled and reorganized into the various Qin armies, which also greatly alleviated the current situation of the Qin State's overstretched troops. Counting the previous 60,000 people, there are already 100,000 standing troops in Guanzhong, which is slightly insufficient to recover the lost territory, but it is still more than enough to retreat and defend the territory.

The Hangu Pass and the Wuguan Pass were seriously damaged by the war, so the reconstruction and repair of these two passes also became a top priority for the Qin State. In order not to affect farming, the officers of the Qin army had to personally lead the soldiers to serve as laborers, which also made these generals who were accustomed to galloping on the battlefield complain again and again.

In less than ten days, dozens of generals have already submitted the resignation to Han Xin's desk in the Xianyang Governor's Mansion, for different reasons, but the purpose is nothing more than one, to ask for a leave. There are all kinds of reasons, from the eighty old mother vomiting blood and fighting several fights to the eighteenth little lady red apricot out of the wall, which makes Han Xin have one more entertainment activity in his spare time, that is, to read with relish, which makes the old man rack his brains to come up with a thousand strange reasons.

The reply is also very simple, and it is not accurate.

The old lady vomited blood and dragged it to the palace to be treated by the imperial doctor, and his wife Hongxing came out of the wall to announce the deeds of this pair of dogs and men to the neighbors with great fanfare, contributing to enriching the spiritual entertainment activities such as after-dinner gossip of the residents in Xianyang City. As for those who said that they had backache and leg pain and couldn't sleep at night, Han Xin sent his guards to give meticulous care, from the joy of the boudoir to the washing and courtesy, all of which were recorded in detail and reported to Xianyang.

Han Xin came to this hand, and immediately made these arrogant soldiers and fierce generals dare not have the slightest idea, and one by one they all miraculously recovered, and specially called the messenger to the front to eat rice and several catties of meat in front of him, to show that he was strong and did not need to worry about the captain.

It's just that one person has become an exception, and he is staring at Han Xin's desk at the moment.

Han Xin grabbed the bamboo slip on the table and threw it at Zhao Wuji, scolding in his mouth; "You're so fucking clever that you can play tricks, please Xiu's Song Shu just sent Xianyang, and you ran over by yourself, do you think that I don't even have a chance to refuse you."

"Let me tell you Zhao Wuji, don't think that you have a little military merit, Lao Tzu can't do anything about you, you must know that leaving the army and returning to the city without permission is a capital crime, and I will cut you off like I will do it."

Zhao Wuji grinned and caught Han Xin's book that was smashed at him, and said with a flattering smile on his face; "Boss, what are you talking about, I, Zhao Wuji, don't have any other skills, I will recognize you, boss, and I believe that you will not treat us old brothers badly."

Zhao Wuji sent a high hat over, Han Xin couldn't cry or laugh a little, and it was hard to say anything, and when he saw Zhao Wuji's face suddenly sank, he said with a sad face; "Boss, think about how pitiful I am, Lao Zhao, I was rushed to Beidi County to blow the wind less than ten days after I got married, and now I am still asked to do the work of a people's husband."

Only then did Han Xin remember that what Zhao Wuji said was indeed the truth, he had been beaten for decades, and finally married his daughter-in-law at the age of twenty-seven. The woman is from a big family in Guanlong, Han Xin has seen it, and he only thinks that she looks well-behaved and sweet, no wonder Zhao Wuji remembers it so much.

Thinking about it, Zhao Wuji has really not enjoyed any happiness in the past year with his birth and death, but he has been fighting the battlefield, in a sentence of the people of Northern Xinjiang, he pins his head to the waistband of his trousers. Thinking of this, Han Xin's head couldn't help but soften, so he didn't bother to scold Zhao Wuji, he just raised his eyelids and said angrily; "Then what should you do if you go to the north, but Sima Xin and them are in the north."

Zhao Wuji saw that his tone had relaxed, so he said with a smile; "What do those two grandsons have to worry about, they only know that they are cowering in the city of Fushi, and last time I deliberately took three thousand patrol horses to the city to provoke, and they hid in the city and didn't dare to let go of a fart. It's infuriating to think about it, it was the former camp of our Northern Army, but now it is occupied by these two grandsons. ”

Zhao Wuji saw that Han Xin's face showed a look of displeasure, so he hurriedly stopped and said; "Boss, if you're thinking about who to let go, I've got someone to choose from."

Han Xin looked up at him, "Who?" ”

Zhao Wuji said seriously: "Mengshi, that kid." ”

Han Xin was stunned for a moment, and said with some hesitation; "He? It's a little inappropriate, how old is he, can he afford to take on the heavy responsibility of the main general? ”

Zhao Wuji looked at Han Xin with a somewhat strange face and said; "My lord, if you say that you are younger, you are only twenty-three years old, and you have become a general and a captain above 10,000 people under my Daqin, how can people say that they are also generals, they are all eighteen, and it is not a big deal to be a general."

Han Xin was a little crying and laughing when Zhao Wuji said this, thinking about it, it seems that he is the only one who has sat in this position at his age. Although he slowly rose to the top by virtue of his military exploits, in the eyes of others, he rose as quickly as a rocket, and if he was placed in his own era in later generations, it could only be described by the words 'bull @ rushing to the sky'.

Although there was an allusion to 'Ganluo Twelve is the Prime Minister of Qin' in the past, Ganluo was only named Shangqing because of his contribution to the Qin State, and the etiquette was equivalent to that of the Xiangguo, and he was not really in charge of the Prime Minister's power. And the fate of Ganluo's little pot friend was not very good, because he was dissatisfied with the arrogant queen at that time, Ganluo's little pot friend pinched the queen's foot mischievously when he picked up the chess pieces that fell on the ground for King Qin, and as a result, he was cut off on the head of the law on the charge of great disrespect.

Therefore, Han Xin's power leaning towards the government and the opposition at a young age is also unique in the history of the Qin State and even the entire world, and it is no wonder that Zhao Wuji would say this. Han Xin thought about it carefully, and felt that Zhao Wuji's opinion was indeed feasible, although Meng Shi was young, he was courageous, and he had received a good family education since he was a child, and with such a successful father and uncle as an example, he was already at the top of the new generation of family children of the Qin people.

Anyway, there is no war in the north for the time being, so it is better to let this kid go out to hone and hone it, and he will be a tiger general in the future.

Han Xin made up his mind, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Zhao Wuji's smug look on his face, so he rolled his eyes at him and said; "You're smart, the drudgery pushed him to do it, you went back to hug your wife by yourself, and Mengshi followed you all day long and called you big brother, you don't feel embarrassed."

Zhao Wuji pretended to be upright and said; "The general's words are not right, I just care about the growth of the next generation of generals to leave them with valuable training opportunities, and besides, it is indeed what he wants to go."

Han Xin glared at him and said; "Okay, okay, fuck off, go back and hug your wife."

Zhao Wuji didn't leave immediately, but rubbed in front of Han Xin with a hippie smile and said; "I said boss, you said that we are all married one by one, when will you do things with the princess."

Han Xin was stunned, speechless for a while, but glared at Zhao Wuji and said; "It's my personal matter, it's your business."

Zhao Wuji opened his mouth and smiled, but he was not afraid but said with a smile; "Why is it none of our business, in fact, Tian Shi wants to ask this question, Wang Qi also wants to ask, and even Meng Shi's kid is also worried about it. I have seen you and the princess eyebrows go back and forth for a long time, but I just know that the boss has a tender face, and no one dares to say it. I'm different, and their friendship between the two of us is naturally incomparable, so I dare to ask. ”

Seeing that Han Xin looked a little annoyed and angry, Zhao Wuji said again; "Actually, boss, if you are the lord together, it is a good thing for us and for Daqin, the princess is the daughter of the first emperor, if you marry her, whether it is in the hearts of hundreds of officials or in the hearts of millions of Qin people, the status will go up to the next level, and the king is just living with a sigh of relief, and the bloodline of the first king has long been cut off, in case it ......."

The corners of Han Xin's eyes moved slightly, and he naturally heard that Zhao Wuji was referring to something, but he said quietly: "Don't say some things nonsense, so as not to be in vain." ”

Zhao Wuji shook his head with a wry smile and said; "Your Excellency, this is just a self-deception, do you think that none of those ministers and generals have not thought about this? Although the bloodline of King Zhuangxiang and the subsequent First Emperor has been severed, the branches of the previous King Zhaoxiang and King Xiaowen are Ding Changsheng, and none of the military princes and sons of those side lines are eager to peep into the seat of King Qin. ”

Han Xin was silent for a long time, in fact, he didn't know what Zhao Wuji said, Ziying is now weak and can only barely support himself by relying on decoction. Once he healed or passed away, it would undoubtedly bring a huge shock to the Qin State, which had just experienced a life-and-death battle. If he is healed, he will not be resigned to power, and if he dies, who should inherit the throne?

Zhao Wuji saw Han Xin bowing his head and was silent, so he took the opportunity to say again; "Boss, I know that you are very affectionate, but if you don't do some things, it doesn't mean that others will treat you like this, you are not just one person now, the rich future and life of all our brothers are pressed on you, honor and disgrace are one, if you fall, none of us will have a good end."

"Where to go, I hope you make a decision early!"

Looking at the blazing Zhao Wuji, Han Xin slowly looked away, and every sentence Zhao Wuji said was so explicit and straightforward.

Zhao Wuji has followed Han Xin for two years, if you talk about bravery, he may not be as good as Meng Shi; If you talk about knowing soldiers, he is not as good as Tian Shi; If it is calm, he is naturally inferior to Wang Qi. But he has a strength, and that is that he is smart enough to always take advantage of the best opportunities and always do the same. He knew when to say what to say and what to do, and he began to choose to follow Han Xin, who had nothing at the time, without hesitation from the moment Pang Xian, until his death.

Facts have also proved that his vision is right, in just one year, with Han Xin's rocket-like rise, he has also followed the rising tide, from a mere county lieutenant to a dignified right general, and his status in the army is on par with Tian City, second only to the veteran Wang Qi, and Yu Han Xin's closeness is even better than that of the generals.

So Han Xin just glanced at him, didn't say anything, turned his head sideways and said slowly; "Forget these words with me today, and you are never allowed to say them to others, including Lao Tian."

A hint of disappointment flashed in Zhao Wuji's eyes, and he lowered his head and said, "No." ”

The disappointment in his eyes naturally couldn't escape Han Xin's eyes, Han Xin was silent for a while, and said in a deep voice; "I naturally thought about what you said, but the current situation of the Qin State is walking on thin ice, and if you are not careful, you will lose everything. I understand this truth, and Meng Jian and the others naturally understand this truth, so none of us have broken the status quo. Maybe one day what you said will come, but never now. “

"We can't afford to lose, and the old Qin people can't afford to lose, this kind of difficult situation can only be overcome by our concerted efforts, and the slightest dissent will be doomed."

"So......" Han Xin paused, "don't say this kind of thing in the future, lest the wall have ears and cause trouble." ”

Zhao Wuji nodded solemnly and said; "I see."

"Okay, you go back first, you have a good rest at home these days, I will let Meng Shi go to the north to take over your position, and you will take Meng Shi's position to take charge of the guards in the palace for the time being."

"No!"

Meng Shi really went to Beidi County happily as Zhao Wuji said, and Zhao Wuji was worshiped as Lang Zhongling to take charge of the palace guards. With Zhao Wuji's reminder, Han Xin also paid more attention to Ziying, and doubled the guards around his bedroom to prevent people with bad intentions. At the same time, many of the Ying's distant branches who were active in Xianyang City also sent people to keep an eye on them, recording their daily itinerary every day and who they had met with.

After disposing of these, Han Xin received the news of Zhang Han's death.

Zhang Han died, although it was expected, but it still made Han Xin extremely sad.

In fact, since saying goodbye to Zhang Han that day, he guessed that Zhang Han had already died in his heart, and he was only alive to guard the spirit of the dead Qin army, and from the moment he brought more than 40,000 remnants of the army back to Guanzhong, his life almost came to an end.

Two years ago, Zhang Han, who was born like a meteor, saved the fate of the Qin State, and two years later, he really fell into the wilderness like a meteor. No one remembers the previous 60 years of his life, because it was too mediocre, but everyone remembers his ups and downs in the past two years, because it was too dramatic.

Even after his death, the controversy about him continued, for hundreds, millennia, and even longer, but a touch of loess made his world quiet.

Zhang Han's temporary request was to bury him on the high mountains on both sides of Hangu Pass, and he wanted to watch the Qin army go out of Guandong to regain the lost land and fulfill his unfulfilled last wish. He didn't leave any letters to Han Xin, but just sent someone to loosen a map for him, the complete territory of the Qin Empire in its heyday.

Han Xin accepted it silently, he understood what Zhang Han meant.

He wanted to do something for Zhang Han, but found that Zhang Han's three clans had all been wiped out by Zhao Gao, and his only younger brother and young son were in the hands of Xiang Yu. Han Xin could only select a young child from his side lineage and become Zhang Han's stepson, offering incense to him to continue the offspring.

Zhang Han's death represents the end of an era in the Qin State, and he is the last general in the true sense of the Qin State. And the current Han Xin, including the generals under his command, are either foreign generals like Zhao Wuji and Tian Shi who came with the airborne, or local generals like Wang Qi, Meng Shi, and Gan Xiao who have already voted under Han Xin's account.

The state of Qin has changed quietly, and the object of military allegiance is no longer the royal family, but the group of generals centered on Han Xin, and the corresponding Meng Jian civilian group cannot command this behemoth.

Military power began to override the royal power, and people with a sensitive sense of political smell within the Qin State had already faintly smelled the breath of instability.

The Qin people have never been a soft-hearted people, and every promising lord's ascension to power is accompanied by countless bloodshed and killings.

King Huiwen, who pioneered the hegemony of the Qin State, stepped on the blood of Shang Yang to ascend to the throne, and he used the car to crack the Shang Dynasty to quell the dissatisfaction of the domestic nobles. King Zhaoxiang's ascension to the throne was based on the slaughter of his siblings to qualify for supremacy, and the first thing his great-grandson Shi Huang did after taking power was to use Chang Yu and Lü Buwei as sacrifices.

Quan Chen will never end well, either like the Tian family of Qi State to replace the Jiang family and stand on his own, or like Han, Wei, and Zhao The three families are divided.

These are not the issues that Han Shin needs to consider now, he is facing an imminent dilemma.

The Northern Army had received news, but it was news from the messengers who had come to ask for help.

While the Qin Empire was entangled in civil strife, the steppes outside the Great Wall also underwent earth-shattering changes.

The old head wolf was replaced by a young and strong wolf, and the head Mandan was killed by his once deposed crown prince Mao Dun.

After inheriting the throne of the Xiongnu Khan, Mao Dun quickly defeated the feud Donghu, and then the army pressed the border to force the Yueshi State to sign an armistice covenant, mobilized the army to the south and successively captured Jiuyuan, Yunzhong, Shanggu, the northern army that lost its own support and suffered heavy losses had to abandon all the cities of the three counties, retreated into Yanmen to gather troops to protect themselves, and at the same time sent several waves of messengers to Xianyang for help.

Because of the isolation of the news, they did not know that Zhang Han had surrendered to Xiang Yu, nor did they know that Xiang Yu's troops were coming to Xianyang City, and naturally they did not know that the Qin State had been rebuilt and the world had been divided.

The only thing they had to do was hold the city, looking west and waiting for reinforcements to arrive.

The Qin State had never left behind any army, they thought so.
