Qin Shi Huang was not surprised when he saw Li Xin asking for battle, but was a little happy: "Oh, General Li, the widow asks you, if you are asked to command the army to destroy Chu, how many soldiers and horses will be needed?" โ€

Li Xin thought for three seconds, and said heroically: "Back to the king, 200,000 troops are enough." โ€

When Qin Shi Huang heard this, he secretly praised that this Li Xin was really a young hero, with great pride, and he had cultivated him for so many years in vain, but because of the matter of cutting Chu, the stakes were very high, Qin Shi Huang did not make a decision immediately, but set his eyes on Wang Qian's face, who was white and a little restrained, and said softly: "General Wang, how many soldiers and horses do you think should be needed to attack Chu?"

After Li Xin said that 200,000 troops could destroy Chu, Wang Jian subconsciously frowned, 200,000? It's too little, Li Xin is young and vigorous in the end, it seems that he regards Chu as Han, Zhao, Wei and other countries, compared to the reaction of Wang Jian and others, although Meng Tian and Wang Ben also feel that 200,000 soldiers and horses are a little less, but they feel that even if the 200,000 army can't succeed in defeating Chu, there should still be no problem with the vitality of the Chu army being seriously injured, and if you are lucky, it is not impossible to destroy Chu directly.

To put it bluntly, Li Xinmengtian and they were all used to problems by the soldiers of Han, Zhao, Weiyan, and other countries, and destroyed a few small countries, so they thought that Lao Tzu was the first in the world, no wonder they planted a big heel in the big country of Chu, to be honest, not only Li Xinmengtian They held this idea, Qin Shihuang was also a virtue, he felt that half of the world had become his Great Qin, and unification was simply a matter of time, Chu State ...... It used to be an opponent, but now....... Isn't 200,000 people a bit much, as far as those weak brigades of the six countries, when they fought with our Qin army, they were simply crushed at the touch of a button, and they couldn't catch the prisoners, to put it mildly, 200,000 soldiers and horses were a bit of a bully, and I think 180,000 is barely fair.

Wang Jian saw that Qin Shi Huang was overjoyed when he heard Li Xin's words, and knew that Qin Shi Huang was underestimating the enemy, alas..... It's no wonder that Li Xin and the others think that 200,000 people can destroy Chu, and a person who is usually so calm will underestimate the enemy, let alone their young and vigorous generals.

At the moment, Wang Jian said with a solemn face: "Back to the king, the country of Chu is vast, the territory is vast, and the army is as many as one million, although over the years, the state of Chu has suffered repeated setbacks, but first, their overall national strength is still very considerable, even comparable to my Great Qin, second, the Chu people hate the Qin country, when the Chu army fights with our Qin army, the soldiers are not afraid of death, so according to the old minister's opinion, only 200,000 people are used to attack Chu, I am afraid that it is ........ Wang Jian originally wanted to say that the 200,000 people would definitely be defeated when they went out, and I was afraid that few would come back alive, but he felt that it was too unlucky to say this, and he would not be condemned by Qin Shi Huang, so he had to change his words and say: "The old minister thinks that it is not necessary to destroy Chu with an army of 600,000." โ€

Qin Shi Huang listened to Wang Qian's words, and did not hide the disappointment on his face, just a Chu country, actually want to use 600,000 soldiers and horses, General Wang, the widow sees that you are really old, you can actually say this kind of words that will destroy your own prestige, or General Li is bold enough, come to someone, spread the will of the widow, and seal Li Xin as the commander of the three armies, Meng Tian, Wang ...... Qin Shi Huang had made up his mind and decided to send Li Xin to lead an army of 200,000 to attack Chu, but at this moment, Wang Jian suddenly rushed to say: "King, the old minister has been fighting for many years, and there are many dark wounds on his body. โ€

Qin Shi Huang originally planned to let Meng Tian and Wang Ben go out with Li Xin on the expedition, but Wang Jian said that he had to say this, he couldn't disagree, no matter how Wang Jian had made great contributions to his Great Qin over the years, not to mention that Wang Ben was not with him to return to his hometown, sooner or later he would come back, the most important point, Wang Jian made it clear that he didn't want Wang Ben to go to the front line, he still thought that the widow would be defeated, in this case, the widow wanted him to see clearly, how Li Xin led the triumphant division back to Xianyang.

Qin Shi Huang agreed to Wang Qian's request, and rewarded him with a lot of gold, silver, jewelry and fields, which was regarded as the retirement benefit of the old cadre, and then Wang Jian did not stay, and left the hall with Wang Ben.

When Wang Ben was in the main hall, he glanced at Wang Jian and asked him not to hinder his meritorious service, but Wang Jian didn't seem to see it, he still went his own way, and just walked out of the main hall Wang Ben couldn't help but ask: "Father, what were you doing in the main hall just now, you told the old man to return to his hometown, and he has no opinion, but why don't you let me go to the front line to make meritorious service." โ€

Wang Jian said leisurely: "Do you think this is an opportunity to make meritorious contributions, so do you think Li Xin will be able to return triumphantly this time?" โ€

"Why can't it, my Great Qin Iron Cavalry has swept through the six countries over the years, and it is fearsome to beat them, even if the Chu State cannot be underestimated, it is not difficult to destroy them."

Wang Jian snorted coldly and said with a blue face: "It seems that the victories over the years have really made you more and more proud and complacent, Ben'er, you have wasted your father's teaching to you over the years, don't you know that the word underestimating the enemy is a taboo for soldiers, Li Xin is proud of the enemy, this battle is bound to lose, and you can't even see this, you are really ...... Now immediately go home and copy the military book for me a hundred times, and if I don't finish copying, I won't have to eat tonight. โ€

Wang Ben saw that his father was angry, so he had to clench his fists and say, "Obey." โ€

........

After Wang Jian left, all the generals didn't care much about this little episode, in their opinion, General Wang Jian was really old, and his courage was getting smaller and smaller, how could the Chu army be compared with their invincible Qin army? Even if the Chu army is twice as large as the Qin army, the Chu army they can fight doesn't even know their mother, alas...... The hero is in the twilight, but it is a pity that the old general Wang Jian's reputation in this life was ruined in his own hands.

Qin Shi Huang looked at the crowd and continued: "Spread the edict of the widow, seal Li Xin as the commander of the three armies, Meng Tian as the deputy marshal, and after three days, order 200,000 troops and immediately attack Chu." โ€

"The last will obey."

At this moment, Meng Wu, who had not spoken, stood up and said: "King, this time the army is on the march, can you count it as a veteran?" โ€

When Meng Tian heard this, he was shocked: "Father, you are so old, how can you go out with the army, and in the battle to destroy Wei last year, you were hit by two arrows in your waist, and you haven't raised it until now, you are still ....... Shut up, it's your turn to point fingers for your father's affairs, Meng Wu said coldly.

Meng Tian shut his mouth stupidly.

Qin Shi Huang looked at Meng Wudao with an embarrassed expression: "Old General Meng, few people know that you have the heart to serve the country, but your age is too old after all." โ€

"The king, he is still able to eat a pound of meat in his eighties, and the old minister is only sixty-five this year, and he is still outstanding in his meritorious service for my Great Qin, saying that Meng Wu arched his hand to Li Xin and said: 'General Li, if the old man kills red eyes on the battlefield, you must not blame me for robbing you of your credit, haha, Li Xin hurriedly returned the salute: "The old general is really a young general, when you made contributions to my Great Qin, I was just a hairy boy, how dare I be such a big gift to the old general." โ€

Qin Shi Huang still persuaded: "Old general, if something happens to you on the front line, it will be a big blow to my Great Qin's military morale. โ€

Meng Wu smiled and said: "Don't worry, the king can rest assured, the minister knows it in his heart, besides, the veteran Rong Ma has been fighting all his life, what kind of vicious battle has not been fought, there have been several times when the old minister thought that he would die on the battlefield and go to see the ancestors of Daqin, but you see, isn't the veteran still alive." โ€

Meng Tian glanced at Qin Shi Huang and asked him not to agree, Qin Shi Huang nodded, and changed his words: "In this way, the widow is here like an old general to promise, next time you will personally lead the army to open up territory for my Great Qin, this time...... Forget it. โ€

Meng Wu sighed when he heard this, knelt on the ground and said quietly: "King, the old minister is sixty-five years old this year, indeed as you and the dog said, since the last time I was hit by an arrow, my body has been worse day by day, if the veteran of this expedition cannot participate, next time ........ The veteran really doesn't know if he will survive until that day......... Therefore, the veteran begged the king to let this war be regarded as the curtain call of the old minister. โ€

Qin Shi Huang hurriedly helped Meng Wu up, and said with a unbearable expression: "What is the old general talking about, alas...... Anyway, since this is the case, the old general Meng will go out with the army this time, Li Xin heard Qin Shi Huang's words, and felt a little uncomfortable, if Meng Wu is going on the expedition, then the position of the commander ........ I'm afraid it won't be my turn, forget it, the old general has been fighting horses all his life, so he should have fulfilled his wish for this last battle, Li Xingang wanted to stand up and give up the position of the commander to Meng Wu, and only listen to Qin Shihuang.

"However, the old general can only escort grain and grass in the rear army, you must not participate in this charge, General Li, General Meng, optimistic about General Meng, remember not to let him come nonsense.

"Wechen takes orders."

Meng Wu made another big salute to Qin Shi Huang and said, "Thank you, veteran, the king." โ€

Qin Shi Huang waved his hand, okay, everyone went down to prepare, three days later, the widow personally set up a wine for the army.

"No!!"
