Chapter 111: Decision-making
Here it comes!
Zhao Tuo's heart was shocked, knowing that the scene he was most afraid of was about to appear.
Sure enough, as Qin Wangzheng made an inquiry, all the generals looked at Wang Qian.
After all, he is the number one general of the Qin State today, who else can he ask if he doesn't ask?
Wang Jian pondered for a long time, estimating the strength of the Chu State in his heart, and finally said the number he needed: "To destroy Chu, it must be 600,000 people."
Zhao Tuo saw that when Wang Jian said this number, Qin Wangzheng's eyebrows furrowed, but he didn't say anything.
Sure enough, King Qin was not at ease.
Zhao Tuo sighed secretly in his heart, knowing that after Changping Jun's advice just now, Qin Wangzheng had greatly reduced the difficulty of defeating Chu in his heart, and felt that it would not be possible to use so many troops to fight an internally divided Chu State.
Of course, the most important thing is that the 600,000 troops are almost going to let the Qin army come out empty.
Even Bai Qi, the king of Wu An, had never mastered such a huge army, and how could Qin Wangzheng rest assured that he handed over such a large number to Wang Qian.
Qin Wangzheng turned his head and set his eyes on Li Xin.
"General Li, if you attack Chu, how many troops do you need?"
When Zhao Tuo heard this, he hurriedly glanced at Messenger Li, hoping that he would be stable.
However, this time, Li Xin didn't look at him at all.
Ever since Li Xin's strategy of breaking Qi was denied by everyone just now, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
He looked at Qin Wangzheng's encouraging eyes, and he didn't want the king to be disappointed in him.
Li Xin glanced at Wang Jian who was not far away again, remembering that he had been suppressed in Yandi, and the breath in his heart wanted to gush out more and more.
Coupled with the strategy offered by Changping Jun just now, the difficulty of Li Xinli's attack on Chu has been reduced a lot.
In the past, Wu Anjun led tens of thousands of troops, raised Yan and Ying in one battle, burned Yiling in another battle, and humiliated the ancestors of the king of Chu in three battles.
What a high-spirited spirit, which makes people feel excited.
He Li Xin is now fighting a half-crippled Chu State, plus he is assisted by Changping Jun, to divide and disintegrate the enemy for him.
With such difficulty, why do you need 600,000 people?
Li Xin held his head high and said loudly: "If you believe in it, you can only use 200,000 people!"
Qin Wangzheng laughed, as if he was also infected by the arrogance in Li Xin's mouth, and he didn't care about Wang Jian by his side, and blurted out: "General Wang is old, why is he cowardly! General Li is brave and brave, and his words are true!"
"If there are few people who fight Chu, General Li will be the commander!"
Hearing this praise, Li Xin blushed and had a thick neck, and he bowed to the head of the Qin King on the spot, saying: "Xin is the main general, and he will live up to the love of the king, and he will return with a plan to sacrifice the king of Chu to Xianyang!"
In a short period of time, the candidates and troops of the main generals of the entire war Chu have been decided.
The reason why King Qin held this celebration banquet was not only to celebrate the merits of the heroes, but also to decide the next battle plan.
After all, the conquest of a large army is not something that can be sent immediately with a word, but requires strict preparation.
It is necessary to choose the main general, the direction of attack and the combat strength in advance, and then choose the time to send troops according to the plan, and then recruit soldiers, prepare grain transportation, and probe the enemy's intelligence......
Therefore, the king of Qin should determine everything today, and the rest of the time can be prepared step by step for logistics, and when the time comes, it will be convenient for the sword to be unsheathed and the state of ten thousand times will be destroyed.
….
In the face of King Qin's decision, among the ministers present, everyone had different reactions.
Wang Jian didn't seem to hear it, and drank by himself.
Several other generals rubbed their hands, their faces were ruddy, and if there was a battle to fight, they would have meritorious service.
Wei Yu, who was good at the art of war, knew that something was wrong, he opened his mouth, but after looking at Qin Wangzheng's high-spirited expression at the moment, he shook his head with emotion.
Kui's eyelids lifted and drooped again. His opinion is that the king is right.
Li Si and Yao Jia, who are not good at military affairs, are noncommittal about this.
Only Changping Jun looked at Li Xin with a surging smile on his face, and became more and more kind and cordial
Come.
Zhao Tuo covered his face, not wanting to see Li Xin's complacent appearance now.
This General Li is good at everything, but it is too easy to get carried away, and now that the wood is complete, Zhao Tuo is useless at this time.
However, although Zhao Tuo's heart was like ashes, Li Xin did not let him go.
I saw Li Xin standing in the palace and said to Qin Wangzheng, "If you have a letter, I hope the king will agree."
"Oh? General Lee, please."
Li Xin looked at Zhao Tuo on the side, although he was surprised why this young man was full of sadness, but he still said loudly: "I heard that the king summoned Zhao Tuo into the palace as a lang. I also ask the king to let this son go with me when he goes out on the expedition."
I......
Hearing this, Zhao Tuo was stunned.
He looked at Li Xin.
Seeing Li Xinzheng looking at him with encouragement on his face.
Li Xin held his head high, his expression was full of confidence, and he looked at Zhao Tuo's expression, as if he was saying.
Follow me, I'll take you to meritorious service!
Qin Wangzheng also looked at it and said with a smile: "Zhao Tuo, you are willing to go with General Li to attack Chu at that time."
A smile squeezed out of Zhao Tuo's face, "Minister, I am willing."
At this time, what else can I say, could it be that I refused on the spot, slapped Li Xin in the face, and offended everyone.
Zhao Tuo could only smash his teeth and swallow in his stomach, and his face had to show a look of appreciation to General Li.
Qin Wangzheng smiled at the ministers in the palace and said: "Zhao Tuo once said, 'When you are born as a marquis, and when you die, you should be a temple food, and he is naturally indispensable in this war of destroying the country. After next year's spring ploughing, the army will go on an expedition, and let him follow General Li to attack Chu. The widow wants to see what he has to do in the great war."
Hearing Qin Wangzheng's words, everyone knew that his love for Zhao Tuo was overflowing, and they congratulated him one after another.
Li Si even quipped: "Zhao Gong took a trip to Yan Kingdom, and he could be promoted to seven levels in a row, and this time in the Great War of Exterminating Chu, he would not be promoted to another seven levels, and this time he came back, but he was about to run to us."
"Haha......"
And all the people in the hall laughed.
Everyone knows that the higher the title, the more difficult it is to upgrade, and it is naturally impossible for Zhao Tuo to be promoted to seven levels in a row. But Li Si said this, which also shows that everyone knows that Zhao Tuo is deeply loved by King Qin, and as long as he makes meritorious service again, he will soar to the sky sooner or later.
Even Kui, who had been slightly perfunctory and disdainful of Zhao Tuo before, was full of smiles and joked with Li Si.
The whole hall was filled with a cheerful and joyful atmosphere.
The destruction of the Chu State for 800 years seems to be an easy task.
Zhao Tuo laughed with everyone on his face, and actually scolded his mother in his heart.
Seven levels in a row?
It would be nice to be able to save your life!
….
If he remembers correctly, in history, Li Xinhua Chu suffered a great defeat, and was pursued by Xiang Yan for three days and three nights, killing seven captains of the Qin army in a row, and countless ordinary soldiers were killed and wounded.
When Zhao Tuo heard Li Xin shouting out 200,000 to fight Chu, he had already made up his mind that he would never get involved in this war.
Just stay in Xianyang and be his Lang official, Li Xin can't die anyway. When Wang Jian came out to clean up the mess, Zhao Tuo followed to rub the credit.
How do you know that the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, Li Xin tied him to the chariot again with a word, and looking at Qin Wangzheng's appearance, he also hoped that he would go to the battlefield to experience.
Alas......
Zhao Tuo's heart has mixed tastes, not a taste.
As soon as he looked up, he saw Changpingjun smiling at him.
……
At the end of the banquet, Qin Wangzheng left Li Xin and Changpingjun alone, and it seemed that there were important matters to discuss.
And all the other ministers withdrew.
Zhao Tuo saw that Wang Jian was about to walk out of the palace with a sluggish pace, and his back was full of a sense of heroic twilight.
"General."
Zhao Tuo hurriedly stepped forward to help Wang Qian.
Wang Jian turned around and saw that it was Zhao Tuo, especially when he heard the word "general" shouted in his mouth, a flash of amazement flashed in his eyes.
[Tell the truth, most.]

Qin Wangzheng's choice of Li Xin in the matter of cutting Chu also means that his era of Wang Jian is over, how can there be no trace of loss in his heart.
"It's you."
He smiled and walked out with Zhao Tuo's support.
"I'm old, and in the future, the world will be a stage for you young people."
Zhao Tuo hurriedly said: "What does the general say, with today's situation, there will always be a time to go to the battlefield again."
Wang Jian smiled but did not speak.
The two walked all the way to the outside of the hall, Wang Jian glanced at Zhao Tuo, and said with a smile: "You kid sent me here, I'm afraid you have something to ask me, right?"
"The Admiral is wise."
Zhao Tuo did not deny that he did have something to inquire about.
Among the ministers in the palace, although Wei Yu showed kindness to him, he didn't know the details after all, so he didn't dare to talk nonsense.
Although Li Si's mouth was full of kindness, Zhao Tuo knew that Li Si was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he was killed along with his disciple brothers, not to mention that he was a Zhao Tuo, so he could only stay away.
After thinking about it, it is best for Wang Qian, after all, he Zhao Tuo is a soldier under Wang Qian.
Zhao Tuo knew about the matter, there was nothing to say, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense, in case talking nonsense would cause fire.
What he wanted to ask Wang Jian was why when Changping Jun entered the palace, all the ministers in the palace behaved wrongly, and they didn't seem to want to have too much contact with Changping Jun.
Hearing this, Wang Jian squinted at Zhao Tuo.
"You kid is careful to observe, this matter ......."
Wang Jian hesitated slightly, and thought of his own incident again, I am afraid that he will return to his hometown, and there is nothing to say about this matter in the court.
"Although you are young, you are superior in wisdom and courage, and you are favored by the king, and you will definitely be in a high position in the future. But you remember, Chang Pingjun and Chang Wenjun are better to get involved less and not to make friends easily."
Even Chang Wenjun too?
Zhao Tuo couldn't help asking, "Why?"
Wang Jian said with a smile: "Because of Fusu Gongzi. If you've seen this son, you'll know it."
Zhao Tuo was stunned for a moment, thinking of the Chu clothes that Fu Su was wearing, as well as the Chu style elegance that seemed to be born with it.
