Chapter 28 Recommendations
"Chuan Huan Qi come in!"
Ying Zheng temporarily restrained his anger and said in a cold voice.
Zhao Gao hurriedly walked outside the main hall, and after a short while, the two of them walked into the main hall quickly.
Before Huan Qi approached, he saw Ying Zheng's gloomy face, and his heart sank, and he hurriedly took a few steps forward, knelt down and said: "The guilty minister sees the king, please punish the king." ”
"Why is the 100,000-strong army of outnumbered people almost wiped out? Why is the advantage gained in Chili gone? ”
Ying Zheng looked at Huan Qi and asked in a deep voice.
His cold eyes made Huan Qi dare not look directly.
"It was the fault of the criminal minister, who commanded improperly and was greedy for merit, which led to the defeat of the army."
Huan Qi told all about how he transferred to Feicheng, how Li Mu ambushed and attacked, and how he was defeated in the end, and said: "The criminal minister is willing to be punished, please punish the king!" ”
"But before the king punishes him, the guilty minister has one more thing to tell the king."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Yingzheng worriedly.
Next, he wants to take credit for Bai Zhong, hoping to have this opportunity.
"Say it!"
Ying Zheng didn't have any expression on his face, but he gave this opportunity.
The more this happened, the more frightened Huan Qi became, and he still spoke:
"The criminal can break through and escape with the last 20,000 people, all by one person!"
"This person is Bai Zhong mentioned by the criminal minister in the newspaper a few days ago."
"If the sinner had listened to his persuasion, he would not have been defeated like this."
Huan Qi talked about Bai Zhong's matter in detail again, including details such as the smell of mutton.
After hearing everything he had said, everyone in the hall looked at him in surprise.
Bai Zhong, they have more or less heard of it, and the exploits of killing one hundred and nine enemies have also spread, which can prove that his bravery is extraordinary, and according to what Huan Qi just said, it is far more than bravery.
Analyzing the battlefield situation and making suggestions, Bai Zhong, as a new recruit, is more powerful than a veteran like Huan Qi.
Li Si and the others didn't believe that recruits who had been in the army for several months could be so powerful, but Huan Qi dared to say it at this time, and it didn't look like a fake.
"General Huan, are you serious?"
Wang Juan first asked.
"Back to the king, it's all true, and the more than 20,000 people we came back alive can testify."
Huan Qi said, facing Yingzheng, and bowed deeply: "Bai Zhong is both wise and brave, brave and strategic, please reuse the king, and the criminal ministers will not dare to deceive the king." ”
"It's Bai Zhong again!"
Before today, Ying Zheng had already expressed his appreciation for Bai Zhong.
Killing one hundred and nine enemies with his own ability is unmatched in the army.
Today, I heard that Bai Zhong tried his best to turn the tide and avoid the annihilation of the 100,000-strong army, and he could also analyze all the strategies of Huan Qi and Li Mu clearly, which can be said to be like a god.
Such a general's talent is exactly what Yingzheng wants.
Thinking of so much, Fang Cai's anger at the defeat subsided a lot, and he became more and more interested in Bai Zhong.
Ying Zheng asked, "What about others?" Can you go back to Xianyang with you? ”
Huan Qi responded: "Bai Zhong is still in the Shangjun military camp!" ”
Noticing that Ying Zheng's face softened slightly, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"The king, the two generals, Wang Ben and Meng Wu, are back and ask to see them outside."
Before Ying Zheng could say anything, Zhao Gao came in from outside the hall and said.
"Quick!"
Ying Zheng said loudly.
Soon, Wang Ben's father and son, as well as Meng Wu, walked into the hall together.
"The sinners see the king."
They also confessed their sins when they came back, and seeing that Huan Qi was still kneeling on the main hall, they were naturally a little worried, and they also knelt down.
Meng Wu said again: "The minister was defeated in Yecheng and had to retreat to Hedong, please punish the king." ”
"The minister is also defeated, and he retreats first without a fight, please forgive the king!"
Wang Ben learned that Li Mu had come to Fanwu, and there were 300,000 troops gathered outside Fanwu City, and the gap was too great to think that he was not an opponent, and the first thing he thought of was to retreat and save the main force of the army.
It is true that the first to retreat without a fight.
"Hurry up, two of you!"
"Han Wei aided Zhao, none of us could have imagined that the responsibility for this defeat is not on you."
Ying Zheng's defeat of Fanwu and Yecheng did not have the anger of Yi'an and Feicheng.
Whether it was Wang Ben or Meng Wu, they all knew that they would retreat in time and save the main force, but Huan Qi was a little worse.
"Thank you, King!"
They understand that their problem is not big.
Huan Qi is very envious, but he is to blame, he is so badly defeated, he does not blame others, only himself.
Wang Ben said again: "Great King, the minister wants to recommend one person, with this person, the Great Qin army will only be defeated in the future, and it is impossible to defeat again." ”
"Wang Qing also wants to recommend capable people, is there another general in the army?"
Ying Zhengda was interested and asked, "Who is this person?" ”
Wang Ben said: "His name is Bai Zhong, and he once told my son Wang Li that if Li Mu is recalled to Handan, Fanwu will be defeated. ”
It's Bai Zhong again!
Everyone was shocked.
Just now Huan Qi mentioned Bai Zhong's prediction of Fanwu, but Huan Qi didn't know much, so he didn't elaborate.
Now the person recommended by Wang Ben is also Bai Zhong.
If all is true, this recruit, who has been in the army for several months, is about to soar.
"Accurate!"
Ying Zheng said lightly.
Wang Li first bowed, and then told Bai Zhong's affairs in detail, some of which coincided with what Huan Qi said.
However, what he said, as well as Bai Zhong's single-handedly breaking into the encirclement of the Zhao army, almost killing Li Mu, and he was able to escape with his whole body.
Hearing this, even Wang Jian was surprised.
As the commander, Li Mu definitely has a lot of cavalry around him.
Bai Zhong's force is so powerful!
Wang Jian reminded worriedly: "Wang Li, don't talk nonsense. ”
Wang Li's words may affect their Wang family, and he is worried that it will cause trouble.
"King, the ministers are not talking nonsense, they are all telling the truth."
Wang Li immediately explained.
"Good!"
Ying Zheng already believed it in his heart, and he didn't seem to care about the defeat anymore, so he stood up and said: "Zhao Gao, draft the royal edict for the widow again, seal Bai Zhong as the tenth rank of the left chief, and summon him to Xianyang, and wait for me to inspect it, no problem, the military position will be determined separately, Zhao Gao, you go for a trip, you must be fast!" ”
If he could be sure that Bai Zhong's ability was fine, he would definitely reuse it, and even turn Bai Zhong into a second Wu Anjun.
Ying Zheng has always felt that Bai Qi's sorrow is just that he was born in the wrong era.
If it was in the era when he was in power, he would definitely not die, if Bai Zhong had the potential to become Bai Qi, or even better than Bai Qi, he would do everything to cultivate and sweep away the six eastern countries for Great Qin.
"Yui!"
Zhao Gao responded.
Meng Wu said: "King, Han Wei aided Zhao, should we ......?"
He was about to say that he would seek revenge on Han Wei, otherwise it would be difficult to swallow this breath.
"Wait for Bai Zhong to come to Xianyang, and then discuss this matter!"
Ying Zheng interrupted Meng Wu's words, and said: "As for Huan Qi, Yi'an has been defeated, Chili has merit, and the recommendation is also meritorious, you will be sentenced according to the law in this matter, although Meng Wu and Wang Ben were defeated, but the reason is not you, cut the third class." ”
Tingwei is Li Si, stepped forward and said, "Only." ”
"Thank you, King!"
Meng Wu and Wang Ben bowed at the same time.
Cutting the third rank of the knight, that is, the title has dropped by three levels, and the force of punishment is not too great, and they don't think there is anything.
When Huan Qi heard that there was merit, he secretly thought that there should be no capital crime.
Perhaps the sin of defeat can be offset with titles and money.
This is the best result.
