Chapter 165: Liu Bang gave Meng Tian an idea

"You should have also noticed that there is Jinyiwei to investigate intelligence, and before the war, he also cleaned up the high-level of the Xiongnu tribe, no matter who fights this battle, it will be won, and even with the strength of Jinyiwei, all wars in the future may be like this!"

Liu Bang asked Meng Tian rhetorically: "Since no matter who fights, it is a sure victory, why doesn't Your Majesty send your most trusted general, after all, even if these people return victoriously, it is impossible for them to vote among the old nobles to find Your Majesty unhappy!" ”

From a familiar Jinyi guard, he already knew the course of this battle, not only the intelligence investigation was extremely clear, but the high-level of the Hun tribe before the war was all cleaned up by Jinyiwei, such a battle, not to mention the generals carefully selected by His Majesty, Liu Bang felt that even if he led the troops, there would be no difference.

This is obviously His Majesty sending military merits, cultivating usable manpower for himself, in order to compete with the military merit nobles of Qindi, if it is not someone who is completely trusted, why should Your Majesty give you this opportunity.

"Yes, there is no suspicion in employing people, no suspicion is needed, I am a suspect to Your Majesty now!" Meng Tian's face was full of wry smiles, but he still stood up and bowed to Liu Bang respectfully.

Although he is a Shaofu commander and a cronie promoted by His Majesty all the way from the end of the world, he has been personally accompanying Liu Bang since he came to the Great Wall, and the two get along well, but Meng Tian naturally knows that people can tell him so clearly, they definitely regard him as a friend!

"But don't worry, I asked Jinyiwei about this time about the increase in grain prices, and your Meng family did not participate in it, but together with the Wang family, all the stored grain in the family was sent to Shaofu, which can be regarded as leaving a good impression on His Majesty!"

Picking up Meng Tian's freshly baked sweet potato, Liu Bang directly broke half of it, carefully put it in his mouth, and enjoyed the sweet taste of the roasted sweet potato while snorting hot, his face was full of satisfaction.

"Thank goodness, Meng Wu is finally smart this time!" Meng Tian was immediately overjoyed, and stood up and saluted to the sky.

Since he heard that the nobles of Qin Land had united to make the price of food rise sharply, what he was most worried about was that his family was also involved, and he was not trusted by His Majesty.

Thinking carefully about what Liu Bang just said, I couldn't help but be even more firm in my heart.

He had seen the strength of Jin Yiwei, when he came to deliver the news, he was still hundreds of meters away, and he had already appeared beside him in the blink of an eye, such strength was absolutely invincible whether it was to probe the news or assassinate.

As for fighting the Huns tribe this time, knowing the location, and killing all the high-level people who could command, and bringing the forbidden army that eats three meals a day and cultivates martial arts, not to mention the command of people, even if it is commanded by a pig, it is impossible to lose this battle.

After a battle, there are nearly 100,000 slaves, more than 200,000 horses, millions of livestock in the spoils alone, and the generals who lead the troops can go down in history.

Turning around and saluting Liu Bang, he asked respectfully: "Brother Xian has been with him since His Majesty left the Qin Capital, and now he is the Shaofu Order, so it can be said that he is the first believer around His Majesty, and please show me a clear path for the Meng family, and Meng Tian will have a good reward in the future!" ”

"Your Majesty wants to clean up the old and weak before, only the real elite is left in the army, you have more than 400,000 people in the Great Wall Legion, it must be the focus of this cleanup, if I are you, I will take the Great Wall Legion back to Qin Capital as soon as His Majesty's holy decree is issued!"

Speaking of this, Liu Bang paused for a moment, looked at Meng Tian's expression, and then continued: "Then resign from the post of Minister of the Military Cabinet and ask Your Majesty to join the forbidden army!" ”

"It's different from General Wang!" Liu Bang sneered: "General Wang Lao has fought all his life, he is already rewardable, he is the first person in my Great Qin military, he can stay in the military pavilion to retire steadily, if there is something, His Majesty appoints General Wang Lao as the general, who dares to disobey in the army!" ”

"Do you have such merit and prestige?"

Meng Tian shook his head awkwardly, he could think of it himself,

This minister of the military cabinet fell on his head because of the reputation of the Meng family for several generations of wars, and now he is the chief general of the Great Wall Legion, and it has nothing to do with military merits.

"Since you don't have such prestige, but you are in the position of the minister of the military cabinet, the position is already the pinnacle of the general, if you go back this time, the only place where Your Majesty can place you is to retire in the military cabinet, after all, a minister of the military cabinet, commanding the entire military, where can you be put down?"

Liu Bang thinks that he is a close confidant of His Majesty, so he naturally wants to help His Majesty deal with some things that are inconvenient for him, and the current Great Wall Legion Meng Tian is definitely one of them.

In terms of age, Meng Tian is not much older than himself, but because of the relationship between the Meng family, he became the general of the Great Wall Army early, commanding an army of 400,000.

And this 400,000 army will definitely only have some of the most elite to join the forbidden army, if the general of the Great Wall Legion, Meng Tian, is dissatisfied in his heart and takes these hundreds of thousands of people to do something, although the strength under His Majesty's control can be easily suppressed, but it is more or less a trouble.

Of course, after he had been in contact with Meng Tian for a few days, he already knew in his heart that a smart person like Meng Tian would definitely take the Great Wall Legion back to the Qin capital as soon as he received the holy decree.

But a general who commands 400,000 troops goes back, uu reads how to place it is also a problem, if it is a veteran, it is naturally no problem to put it in the military cabinet, but Meng Tian's age is not very old, rest assured that some people in the military pavilion will definitely say that His Majesty treats heroes harshly.

But if it is put into the forbidden army, a minister of the military cabinet, who will go down to command the entire forbidden army, how can His Majesty rest assured that the most important force in his hands will be in the hands of Meng Tian.

But if Meng Tian himself wrote a letter to resign from the Minister of the Cabinet and invite himself to join the forbidden army, it would naturally be much easier for His Majesty.

For Meng Tian, joining the forbidden army is equivalent to entering His Majesty's pro-army, if he is really capable, he will naturally have a bright future in the future, and it is also an opportunity to take refuge in His Majesty's side.

"Good!" Meng Tian immediately laughed, patted Liu Bang's shoulder vigorously and said loudly: "I didn't recognize you as a friend in vain!" ”

In the short term, resigning from the Minister of the Cabinet and joining the forbidden army is tantamount to surrendering his status, but Meng Tian understands that this is definitely the only chance for him to let His Majesty know that he is loyal to the Meng family.

As long as Your Majesty trusts, the next time you have the opportunity to fight, you will be able to think of yourself, and what you lost today will come back in the blink of an eye!

glanced at Liu Bang gratefully, but didn't speak, but picked up the other half of the roasted sweet potato on the side and ate it in a big bite, sighing while eating: "The sweet potato has just come out, who came up with such a good way to eat, it's a genius!" ”

"It is said that a craftsman in the Shaofu made it!" Regarding Meng Tian's reaction, Liu Bang knew in his heart, knowing that this time he could be said to have done the other party a great favor, and Meng Tian would definitely not lose this gift, but he replied casually.

There was a sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and then a huge noise reached the ears, and the two of them threw down the roasted sweet potatoes at the same time and stood up with a look of surprise, strode out, and the forbidden army out of the Great Wall returned!
