That night, a young general in the palace of King Qin was sitting next to Prince Chu of Qin, although he was respectful, he couldn't hide the spirit and unruliness on his face.

Zi Chu raised his glass and said to the young general: "General Li Xin is young and promising, and he is really the hope of my Great Qin in the future.

This young general is Li Xin, Li Xin has been serving in Wang Qian's army for a long time, Li Xin has been familiar with military books since childhood, and fought bravely, known as the "tiger in the army", so he is deeply loved and relied on by Wang Qian, and he must be the vanguard every time he goes out.

But recently, Li Xin and Wang Jian have often quarreled because of disagreements. With the continuous promotion of his position, Wang Jian became more and more cautious in his handling of the army, and he completely lost the murderous spirit of the year, while Li Xin was young and enterprising, so it was inevitable that there would be contradictions and frictions between the two in some military operations.

When Li Xin heard Zi Chu's praise like this, his heart was overjoyed, and he hurriedly raised his glass and said: "Thank you for the king's praise, the king is wise and martial, the last general has already heard of it, if he is favored, he will go to the soup and go to the fire, and he will not hesitate." Zi Chu laughed when he heard this: "In the future, this king will rely on the general for the matter of military armor." Zi Chu drank all the wine in the cup, and then asked: "I heard that the Southern Expedition has been stalemate recently, I don't know what the general thinks?" Li Xin was very excited when he heard this, and said indignantly: "In the matter of the Southern Expedition, it is really a great shame that my Great Qin is trapped in the land of the Southern Barbarians with 600,000 heroes. This is all due to General Wang Qian's indecisiveness in handling things, which caused our army to be reluctant to move forward and be controlled by others everywhere. The last general spoke lightly, and could only watch the war dissipate, which was really heartbreaking. ”

Zi Chu stood up from his seat and said, "General Wang Jian cherishes his reputation as an undefeated general too much, so he will advance and retreat. Even if we are undefeated in this way, it will also be extremely damaging to our Qin State. If the general can try to persuade Wang Jian to take the initiative to retire, the king will recommend the general again, and the queen mother will no longer have anything to say. Li Xin hurriedly kowtowed and said: "Thank you for the cultivation of the king, Li Xin will definitely be able to live up to expectations." Zichu hurriedly sat down and the two continued to drink and chat.

Out of the palace, Li Xin went straight to Wang Qian's mansion, Wang Jian has been dragging his illness in the palace for a few days, seeing Li Xin's arrival, thinking that Li Xin was urging him to go to the south again, so he asked coldly: "General Li has no urgent war situation to go to the south?" Li Xin shook his head when he heard this, and said, "Don't panic, the last general came this time to persuade you to throw away the hot potato of the Southern Expedition."

"Oh." Wang Jian was shocked, he never thought that this Li Xin, who was shouting every day to fight and kill, would actually open his mind today.

Li Xin continued: "Although my army has occupied a large area of land, it is all abandoned cities, which are really like chicken ribs. Moreover, the slippery army is cunning, never fighting a decisive battle with our army, hiding in the mountains and forests waiting for an opportunity to guerrilla our army, and sneaking into the grain roads in our rear, so that our army is in a dilemma. For today's plan, it is better to use this surface victory to invite credit, and then pretend to be seriously ill to resign, and the queen mother should agree, so that the reputation of the general can be preserved, and the brothers can avoid giving up their lives in vain. ”

Wang Jian thought it was true, and quickly took Li Xin's hands and said cordially: "The old man used to blame General Li, and General Li can think about the old man and the soldiers so much, the old man is deeply gratified." Li Xin kowtowed and said: "The general's great grace is unforgettable, and he was reckless a few days ago, so please forgive the general." Wang Jian hurriedly helped Li Xin up, laughed heartily, and ordered someone to clean up the banquet, so he had a drink with Li Xin.
