A tragic funeral is indeed moving.

The king regards the minister as a sibling, and the minister regards the king as the heart; The monarch regards the minister as a dog and a horse, and the minister regards the monarch as a countryman; The king regards the minister as a mustard, and the minister regards the king as a wolf.

In this is the era.

The word affection is heavier than Mount Tai!

Everyone says that the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period collapsed in etiquette, but everyone takes morality as the foundation of their lives, and the reason why it is called the collapse of etiquette and music is just far from the era when everyone obeyed etiquette.

With the rise of Legalism and the transformation of Confucianism, the word morality has become a tool to flaunt virtue.

This is not a step backwards.

Yingcheng witnessed the loyal and courageous behavior of Li Xin, Nei Shiteng, Wen Fang, Zhang Tian and other high-ranking and powerful people, and the shock he received in his heart was something he could never forget in his life.

It also made him think more.

Governing the country is nothing more than the word propriety and law, the law cannot be too heavy, and the etiquette cannot be too light.

Life is unspeakably precious, and faith is incomprehensible in the world!

This in itself, there is a contradiction.

However.

Even though the tragic elegy is moving, the dust will eventually return to dust.

He could pay for Li Xin's unauthorized departure from his post by Li Xin, the commander of the Eastern Shoudu, but he still reprimanded Li Xin's behavior for leaving him a mess.

Li Xin left, but the commander of the eastern capital had to be selected in the fastest time.

As for the selection of the commander of the eastern defense capital, it is difficult.

In the military generals of the Qin State, although there is no clear division in rank, under the captain of the protector is the general, and below the general is the captain of the colonel, the captain of the school, but the status of this is still about seniority and merit.

Li Xin is second only to Wang Ben in terms of seniority and merit among the military generals of the Qin State, although his combat achievements are not as dazzling as Wang Ben's destruction of the Four Kingdoms, but he is also a general who destroyed the country.

Li Xin was the first group of generals to be promoted after the First Emperor ascended the throne, and participated in most of the wars in which the Qin State destroyed the Six Kingdoms.

Among them, Li Xin's battle of fame is the battle of Cutting Yan, in the atmosphere of cultivating the national policy and Qin's affairs, there is no military talent, even if the prince enters the army, he has no power to command the army.

In the Qin State, any general who led troops to fight a war climbed up step by step from the bottom, Wang Ben was no exception, and Li Xin was no exception.

It's just that if it is after the honor, his promotion path is much smoother and faster than that of other generals.

And Li Xin is one of them.

Li Xin and Li Si are either one family or none for 800 years, but they are their own ancestors and are not of the same race.

Li Xin belongs to the Li family of Longxi, and his ancestor Li Zongben was a doctor of the Wei State, and was the first batch of scholars to come down to the Qin State during the period of filial piety, and served as the county commander.

After generations of reproduction, it has long been connected with the blood of the Qin State, and by the time of Li Xin, his grandfather Li Chong, who served as the county guard of Longxi, recommended him to the First Emperor and was arranged to train in Wang Jian's army.

Later, Li Xin was young and brave, and became a lieutenant colonel of Wang Qianjun step by step, but also because of his position in Wang Qianjun, Wang Jian naturally paid a little attention to the opportunity to obtain military merits in order to support his eldest son Wang Ben.

This state lasted until Wang Ben was valued by the first emperor, and he prepared a tiger camp for him and led an army alone.

And this is also to the battle of Yan, Wang Jian no longer needs to pave the way for Wang Ben, this is the order of Li Xin as the vanguard, leading the cavalry to attack Yan, Li Xin shined in the battle of Yan, on the bank of the Yishui River, defeated the prince Dan of Yan and chased Yan Dan all the way to Jicheng, and then Wang Jian arrived in Jicheng, after breaking the city, Li Xin again led the cavalry to chase and kill Yan Wangxi and Yan Prince Dan, forcing Yan Wangxi to kill Yan Dan.

Since then, Li Xin has been entrusted by the First Emperor, with the forward battalion led by Li Xin as the team, and Li Xin has set up a Poyan Battalion for Li Xin.

The purpose of the first emperor to set up the Poyan camp was the same as Wang Ben's tiger camp, which was a cavalry battalion.

Wang Ben's Tiger Battalion was more equipped with heavy cavalry, while Li Xin's Poyan Battalion was more lightly armoured.

Then Wang Ben attacked Wei, Li Xin and Meng Tian attacked Chu!

Wang Ben, Li Xin, and Meng Tian were the most dazzling young Zhuang faction in the Qin State at that time

Commander.

And the reason why Li Xin and Wang Ben and Meng Tian's status are different is also in this year.

Wang Ben attacked Wei, flooded the Wei capital Liang, and the king of Wei faked out of the city to beg and surrender, destroying Wei.

Li Xin attacked Chu, because Li Xin connected several cities of Chu State, and his arrogant heart gradually won, and he ventured into attack Yan Ying, although he conquered Yan Ying, but he was out of touch with Meng Tian who attacked Chu State and the city father.

And this, Yu Ziqi, who was single-mindedly strong, found an opportunity to plot against Changping Jun, the prime minister of the Qin State who went to Yan Ying to take over the city, and Changping Jun rebelled in Yan Ying, cutting off Li Xin's back road.

Li Xin had no support, and decisively turned to the northwest, wanting to join Meng Tian in the city father, but in the confrontation between the two armies, and in the hinterland of Chu State, Li Xin's back road was cut off, moved laterally, and Xiang Yan found an opportunity, and Li Xin was defeated.

Only 100,000 of the 200,000 soldiers and horses came back, the Poyan battalion was almost completely wiped out, and the seven captains died in the battle of Huachu.

And this also led to Meng Tian, who was also deep in the hinterland of Chu, forced to withdraw his troops, and the battle to attack Chu was broken.

Li Xin was defeated, and the First Emperor was not guilty of Li Xin, but said a sentence, "The general's defeat is my fault, not the general's fault!"

Therefore, on the one hand, the First Emperor regrouped and restarted Wang Jian to continue to prepare for the invasion of Chu, on the one hand, he asked Li Xin to go to Longxi to prepare for the construction of the Southern Expedition Camp, and on the other hand, he ordered Xin Sheng, who rose in the battle of Wei in Wang Ben's army, to reorganize the Poyan camp.

Subsequently.

After a year of preparation, the Poyan Battalion, the Southern Expedition Battalion, the Huben Battalion, etc., under the command of Wang Qian, broke through the Chu State and destroyed Chu.

Wang Jian was crowned a martial artist in the first battle.

However, for Li Xin, because of the previous defeat of Huachu, he has lost his qualification to become the commander-in-chief.

Even so, after that, Li Xin still followed Wang Ben to pacify Luxi and Ludong, captured Yan Wang Xi, and destroyed Qi under the leadership of Wang Ben.

The world was unified, Wang Ben was made a marquis, Meng Tian became the protector of the country, but Li Xin could only become a garrison general stationed in Longxi.

Despite this, Longxi's position in the Qin State was very important, and the First Emperor handed over Longxi to Li Xin to garrison, and still trusted Li Xin very much.

It can be said that Li Xin's military talent is no worse than that of Wang Ben and Wang Jian and others, but it is only because of the fiasco in the battle of Huachu that the brilliance of this famous general is covered up.

However, it is not difficult to see that the first emperor's faith in Li Xin is still the same, and let Li Xin and Meng Tian fight the Xiongnu.

And this.

is Li Xin's status in the Qin State, which can be compared with Li Xin's status and merits, and there are really not many generals who can rule the thirteen counties such as Handan and Hengshan.

Meng Tian has lost contact with Mobei for almost half a month.

Tu Sui is far away in Fujian.

Yang Duanhe was guarding the Linjin defense line, and was fighting a war of attrition with the Xiongnu in Hedong.

Feng Zai was in charge of the affairs of the Western Expeditionary Army, and after the preparation of the Western Expeditionary Army was completed, he was going westward.

Meng Wu was to be responsible for the affairs of Jiangdong and put down the rebellion of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang in Sacheon County.

As for the chief Wang Shu and Yang Feng, their status is even weaker than Li Xin, who has not become the commander of the capital, and they are not generals who can lead troops to garrison, more precisely, they are reserve commanders.

After doing the math, it turns out that there is no going to be used.

As for Wang Ji, the commander of the left capital of the east guard, and Yang Chen, the commander of the right, his qualifications are not enough, and he even wants to be Qiang, and Zhang Tang is even secondary.

As for Li You of the Sanchuan Battalion, it is inferior to Wang Ji, Yang Chen and others, but after the unification of the world, Li Si relied on his own merits to arrange Li You, Li You's military ability is not outstanding, and until now it is still a big title, belonging to the same position as the county guard and the garrison general, and the soldiers and horses led are more county soldiers.

After the first emperor made a southern tour of Jiangdong, he saw that Li You was pitiful and let Li You go to the mixed title, no matter what Li You's results were, no matter what Li You's results were, he could at least be promoted to the title of the chief of the chariot.

It's a pity that it backfired, Jiangdong did not fight, and now Li You wants to be promoted to the title, so he will see the battle of Sacheon County.

And the thirteen counties under the commander of the eastern guard, its importance does not need to be mentioned, it must be a person with impeccable status and merit to take over the military power, it must be the commander who can suppress the 400,000 soldiers and horses of the thirteen counties, and it is necessary to make Wang Ji and Yang Chen happy and convinced.

"Your Majesty, the last general thinks about it, the last general is now the commander of the western guard, and after Guanzhong is stabilized, he will inevitably go to Longxi, Yang Duan and Ren Zhongshou are the commanders, it will take several months to end the war of the Xiongnu, this post of commander of the eastern guard capital must not be vacant for so long, and it must be decided as soon as possible."

Listening to Wang Ben's words, Yingcheng wanted to roll his eyes, if it weren't for this, why would he be embarrassed here.

However, Wang Ben continued: "However, this is not without a solution, compared to the five counties in the west, the thirteen counties in the east need more stability, and only the last general will go to Handan to lead the soldiers and horses in the east."

"As for the five counties in the west, General Feng Zao can concurrently serve as a general, or he can choose another general to serve as the five counties in the west, the five counties in the west are the foundation of our Qin country, as long as Guanzhong is safe, there will be no war."

Hear the words.

Yingcheng frowned, and his first reaction was to reject Wang Ben's proposal.

It was Li Si who took the lead in speaking: "At present, whether it is the court or Guanzhong, General Wang is needed, and at this time, General Wang is going to Handan, what should Guanzhong do?"

In the appointment of military generals, whether it is Li Si or Feng Quji, they don't even have the power to suggest, they are only for staff officers, and what Li Si said at this time is also really related to the stability of Guanzhong.

And this also expressed Yingcheng's doubts, in particular, he believed that the Huben battalion was a very compatible team with Wang Ben, and Wang Ben would inevitably step down as the commander of the Huben battalion when he went to Handan.

"Summoning General Xinsheng back to the capital and sitting in Xianyang!" Wang Ben said unhurriedly: "General Xin Sheng is also a general of a hundred battles, it is enough to guard Guanzhong, and the Yingxian Rebellion has ended, and the Poyan Battalion will also be transferred back to Xianyang."

"No!" Yingcheng directly vetoed Wang Ben's proposal, and his words did not back down.

Xin Sheng, at present, his attitude is elusive, at this time, let Xin Sheng lead the Yan camp back to the capital, he can't guarantee whether he got a man-eating wolf or a loyal general.

It was something he had to think about.

From Xin Sheng's attitude towards Yingxian, it is not difficult to see that Xin Sheng still has a lot of resentment about the death of the first emperor and his succession.

Wang Ben seemed to have expected it, and said again: "The second method is that the last general will go to replace Yang Duanhe and the general to suppress the Xiongnu rebellion, and Yang Duanhe and the general will immediately go to Handan to lead the eastern guards of the soldiers and horses."

"The western guards are under the command of General Xin Sheng."

"Xiayang is not far from Xianyang, and the last general will be able to take care of Xianyang."

"Besides, the last general can't think of any other way to solve the current predicament."

Li Si and Feng Quji, and Meng Yi were silent, neither objecting nor agreeing.

But compared to the rest of the methods, this is the most feasible method at the moment.

Right now.

As long as Wang Ben does not leave Guanzhong and sits in Guanzhong, the overall situation in the world can basically be stabilized.

If Wang Ben went to Handan, he would be far away from the center and become a garrison general, Xianyang would have no one to sit, and there would be no one in the Taiwei Mansion who could command the world's soldiers and horses.

If they are asked to order those generals who have outstanding military achievements and are even arrogant, there may be some kind of chaos.

And Wang Shu and Yang Feng are not to mention.

Only when Wang Ben sits in the Taiwei Mansion and gives orders to the soldiers and horses of all counties in the world can he have a certain weight.

This is not comparable to the edict of the Emperor II.

If you want the generals of the central court to come out and vacant the Taiwei Mansion, this requires the Second Emperor to have enough prestige in the army.

"Changing generals?" Yingcheng frowned, and Wang Bencai told him bitterly about the disadvantages of changing generals in battle.

Now, Wang Ben is so grandiose in proposing a change of general.

You must know that the current Hedong, Yang Duanhe Pingyang Heights east of Xiayang and north of Fenshui, are engaged in a tug-of-war with the Xiongnu with the help of mountainous terrain.

It can be said that this greatly reduced the loss of Hedong and did not let Hedong erode.

Yang Duanhe designed to lure the Xiongnu to attack Pingyang City, and after the Xiongnu entered Pingyang, he ordered Taiyuan Li Ku, Shangdang Qiwu, and Gongzi Ronglu, who came from Cangwu thousands of miles away, to besiege Pingyang City, blockade Fenshui, and will

The Xiongnu soldiers and horses blocked the area of Pingyang.

Instead, Yang Duanhe let go of a large area of mountains north of Fenshui, leaving the Xiongnu to cross the Yellow River from Xiayang to invade Guanzhong.

The current Yang Duanhe was not in a hurry to encircle and destroy the Xiongnu, but used the mountainous terrain to disturb the Xiongnu, making the Xiongnu tired of coping.

This plan can be said to be very successful, as long as the grain and grass looted by the Xiongnu in Pingyang City are exhausted, the Xiongnu will die.

At present, a long tug-of-war is going on in the Pingyang area, but according to the implementation of this law, the pacification of the Xiongnu is just around the corner.

At this time, Yang Duanhe was called to Handan, which inevitably made Yang Duanhe have opinions.

The Xiongnu are menacing, this is an opportunity for Yang Duan and this veteran of the same era as Wang Jian to become a marquis.

"Your Majesty, there is no definite strategy according to the time, and the change of generals in battle is not eternal, but it can be changed because of the incompetence of the main general, it can be changed because the enemy is good at the elders, it can be changed because the main general is good at fighting, it can be changed because of the terrain, and it can also be changed because of the needs of the court." But it was Wang Ben, who explained very confidently:

"There is no conclusive conclusion, but only two points need to be maintained, and the person who is being replaced will obey it, and the person who will change the general is militarily talented and enough to calm the morale of the army."

"If these two conditions are met, the natural exchange will not be damaged."

"The last general can guarantee that General Yang will not have the slightest complaint about the change of generals."

Yingcheng frowned again and asked, "How confident is General Wang?"

Wang Ben paused slightly, and said in a shocking voice: "The leader of the military family is none other than Yang Duanhe."
