Chapter 196: Change of Generals

The blue-gray bricks and tiles, layer upon layer, build a solemn and solemn Qin Palace.

It was the familiar temple again.

Qin Wangzheng was wearing comfortable regular clothes, sitting on the couch, holding a scroll of slips in his hand as always, and was looking at it with his head down.

It seems that he is always thinking about national affairs.

Zhao Gao stood beside him, standing with his hands down, waiting for the king's orders at any time.

Zhao Tuo walked to the front of the hall and saw Zhao Gao inside shaking his head at him slightly.

He smiled knowingly and stood respectfully in front of the hall and waited.

In the Qin Palace, they are not allowed to enter unless they are summoned.

After a long time, King Qin raised his head and looked at the figure standing in front of the hall.

This kid has grown a little taller, and in a few years, he will be eight feet.

Qin Wangzheng's heart moved slightly, and a smile appeared on his face.

"It's Zhao Tuo, come in."

"Yui."

Zhao Tuo responded respectfully, entered the hall with his socks, stepped forward, walked to the throne of King Qin, and bowed to each other.

"Minister Zhao Tuo, meet the king."

"Hehe, Zhao Tuo, Zhao Tuo, you have done such a great thing in Wei Di and made a contribution, which really surprises the widow."

Qin Wangzheng opened his mouth, with a surge of praise in his words.

Zhao Tuo hurriedly said: "The reason why the ministers were able to achieve the slightest merit was because they relied on the great king's martial arts and wisdom to follow the destiny of heaven to defeat Wei. On the battlefield, it was General Wang who commanded well, and the soldiers used their lives, so he was able to break through and let Zhao Tuo win in Weidi."

"Wang Ben wrote a book, and said all your good words, what kind of training skills, how to use soldiers, tell the widow that you have the qualifications to become a general in the future. And now, in front of the widow, you are saying good things about Wang Ben. You people......

Qin Wangzheng smiled and shook his head.

Zhao Tuo smiled awkwardly, but silently praised Wang Ben in his heart.

General Wang, Geng Zhi!

However, in the next second, as soon as Qin Wangzheng's words came out, Zhao Tuo's face changed color.

"Since Wang Ben said that you have the qualifications to become a general, you can be regarded as the main general in that Wei Land and have won a few battles. Then the widow will come and ask you, what do you think of the upcoming battle of Vachu?"

it!

Zhao Tuo's mouth was bitter, he didn't expect that King Qin would ask him about this matter, this is a tricky question.

What do I think of the next battle of Vachu?

Naturally, I hope to replace Li Xin, let the old general Wang Jian come, and send another 600,000 people to the battlefield.

It's best to replace Changpingjun who stayed in Huaiyang.

In this way, the battle of Huachu will definitely be stable.

But Zhao Tuo didn't dare to say this, in today's situation where the whole country is arrogant, the people who can say these things are either upright loyal ministers or fools who lack a tendon in their brains.

Fools are annoying, and loyal ministers rarely end well.

Zhao Tuo squeezed out a smile on his face, and arched his hand: "The minister thinks that with the king and the Zhuqing making decisions in the court, and General Li personally commanding on the front line, with the power of the Wei State and the army to attack the divided Chu, this battle will definitely be won."

Qin Wangzheng's face turned pale, and he said, "You Zhao Tuo, pick up all the good things. The widow asked you, naturally I want to hear something useful, and you have been on the battlefield for a long time, if you have any good suggestions for this war, you can just say and listen to it, and let the widow know whether Wang Ben's words are true or false." ….

Zhao Tuo was stunned for a moment, and saw that Qin Wangzheng was asking seriously, rather than just wanting to listen to good words, so he understood that this king wanted to test what Zhao Tuo had learned on the battlefield to see if he really had the qualifications to become a general as Wang Ben said.

If the last time King Qin summoned him to ask the right question, it was the general trend and strategic direction of the world that he asked.

Now, it is to be put into practice and examine his Zhao Tuo's specific opinions on this war.

Zhao Tuo's heart was moved, and it was a good opportunity for him to make suggestions.

Of course, there is also a need for advice.

It is certainly not possible to say that the generals will increase the number of troops.

Li Xin is a general, leading 200,000 troops, this is

The set plan is also the troops and candidates that Qin Wangzheng needs in his mind, and it is impossible to change.

As for Changping Jun, Zhao Tuo is even more unlikely to talk about it.

Before that incident, Changping Jun was a loyal minister of the Qin State and a blood relative of the current King of Qin.

Such a character, can he Zhao Tuo slander?

As for the specific route of the march and how to arrange the command, it is a matter for the main general, and even the King of Qin will not interfere, let alone his little Zhao Tuo, who has no say in strategic planning.

So Zhao Tuo can only find another way this time.

He had a lot of thoughts, he didn't want to tell the truth and anger King Qin, but he didn't want to lose this good opportunity to make a statement.

Finally, Zhao Tuo found a blind spot.

He boldly asked, "Ministers dare to ask, I don't know who the deputy general that the king has prepared for General Li this time."

Under the commander-in-chief of the Qin army, there will generally be many generals according to the strength of the army, and the captains below will be commanded. And among these generals, there will be one who has a relatively large weight and exists as the deputy of the main general.

The reason for this is that when the chief general decides to divide the army and march, one person can lead the other generals and make corresponding deployments.

If there was no such deputy, the other generals would all be of the same rank, and their titles would be similar. Why should you accept the command of one of your peers when you divide the troops? That will inevitably lead to disputes.

Adjutant generals have more power than other generals, and their suggestions are often seriously considered by the commander-in-chief.

When Wang Jian destroyed Yan, his deputy general was Xin Sheng. But Xin Sheng and Wang Jian are both stable temperaments, and their brilliance will inevitably be snatched away by Li Xin and Qiang, but they don't seem to have a strong sense of existence.

Hearing Zhao Tuo's words, Qin Wangzheng's eagle-like eyes narrowed.

This kid asked a tricky question.

He said, "Mengtian."

Meng Tian!

Zhao Tuo gasped, it was true.

Zhonglang will be Mengtian!

He was the old leader of Zhao Tuo when he was in the Qin Palace.

The reason why Zhao Tuo was surprised was not that Meng Tian was incapable, in history, Meng Tian was more than 700 miles north of the Xiongnu, commanding hundreds of thousands of troops, and his reputation was shocked in the northern Xinjiang, and he was the premier general in the entire Qin Dynasty.

But that was later, although the current Meng Tian is familiar with military books, his father and ancestors are all famous generals. And there is a high lord who is the head of the left, and he is in the position of Zhonglang general. But he has never been on the battlefield, and his experience in battlefield battles is not even as good as Zhao Tuo.

And Meng Tian is a few years younger than Li Xin, such a person will be Li Xin's deputy general, and then go to destroy the Chu State.

This combination of exterminating Chu, Zhao Tuo's scalp was numb just thinking about it. ….

He knew that the reason why Qin Wangzheng did this was mostly to appoint a group of young and strong generals from Langguan to replace Wang Qian, Yang Duanhe, Xin Sheng and other veterans, to inject fresh blood into the Qin army, and at the same time weaken the authority of those veterans and avoid a situation in which high achievements shocked the master.

In an ordinary war, it would have been nothing, but it would have been a bit child's have to do this kind of thing when destroying Chu.

It's all because of pride.

Seeing Zhao Tuo's complexion change, Qin Wangzheng frowned and said, "What, do you think Meng Tian can't do it."

At this point, Zhao Tuo also had to rise to the challenge.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Zhao Tuo once served under General Meng Zhonglang, so he naturally knows that General Zhonglang is a natural general, and he has a family tradition of military science, and he will definitely be a famous general in the world in the future."

Qin Wangzheng nodded, Meng Tian was the general of the Shaozhuang faction that he admired the most after Li Xin, and he definitely had the ability.

But Zhao Tuo's voice changed suddenly, and he said loudly: "Danchen also heard that Wu Sun Tzu said, soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be ignored."

"And the general, the assistant of the country. If you are a slave, the country will be strong, and if you are a slave, the country will be weak."

"With General Li Xin as the main general, this attack on Chu is naturally fine. However, if the deputy general chooses an old and serious general, it is like putting a pair of wings on the tiger, and this battle can achieve twice the result with half the effort, and it will become more and more secure."

Qin Wangzheng frowned

, Although Zhao Tuo did not say it explicitly, the meaning of his words is nothing more than that Meng Tian has not been on the battlefield, and his ability may not work, which will make this battle risky.

Let him think carefully, it is better to choose an old man to assist Zuo Li Xin.

Qin Wangzheng also considered the difficulty of destroying Chu.

Today's Chu State has long been much worse than in the past, not only internal division, but also its army's combat effectiveness has declined seriously, as evidenced by the capture of more than ten cities in Chu by Wang Ben last year.

[At present, it is the most complete and best sound for listening to books, integrating 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of timbres, and it is an artifact that supports offline reading.

Wang Ben's tens of thousands of troops can fight the Chu army to lose their armor, and he Qin Wangzheng sent 200,000 troops at a time, wouldn't it be able to scare the king of Chu and destroy Chu.

Of course, the most important reason is that Li Xin is a veteran general on the battlefield, and he has a very bright performance when he destroys Zhao and Yan, and his courage to move forward is deeply appreciated by Qin Wangzheng, and he is simply a new generation of Qin State God of War.

With such a character leading the team, King Qin's heart to destroy Chu was bursting.

It doesn't really matter who the lieutenant general of this battle is.

The reason why Qin Wangzheng chose Meng Tian was actually to hope that Li Xin would take him with him, so that Meng Tian could learn some battlefield experience and become his humerus general of Qin Wangzheng in the future.

However, Zhao Tuo's sentence "Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be ignored", is also reasonable.

Let Qin Wangzheng be slightly moved.

Yes, war is the biggest thing in a country, it is related to the life and death of a country, and it cannot be taken lightly.

Meng Tian, after all, has never been on the battlefield.

Qin Wangzheng asked casually, "Since you think it will be more secure to use the old man to assist Zuo, do you have a suitable candidate to recommend in your heart?"

Zhao Tuo nodded and said, "The minister really thinks that there is one person who is more suitable than Meng Zhonglang."

Qin Wangzheng was stunned, he asked casually, but he didn't expect Zhao Tuo to really answer.

This is completely unwise behavior.

No matter who the person in Zhao Tuo's heart is, even if it is Yang Duanhe, Xin Sheng, or even a famous general like Wang Ben, it will definitely make the Meng clan feel very unhappy.

It is equivalent to pointing at Meng Tian's nose and saying, you kid is not as good as that person.

Once it spreads, no matter how good Meng Tian's personality is, he will be offended to death, which is ridiculed in public.

This approach is not quite like Zhao Tuo's usual style of doing things.

Even Zhao Gao, who was silent on the side, couldn't help but jump his eyelids, although he hated Meng Shi in his heart because of Fan Yi's matter, he didn't dare to belittle Meng Tian in front of King Qin like this.

Did this Zhao Tuo hit his head against the wall today?

Could it be that I, Zhao Gao, saw it wrong, how could this person do such a stupid thing.

This speech will not only offend the Mengshi, but even in King Qin's heart, the evaluation of Zhao Tuo may be reduced a lot.

Qin Wangzheng's face was unhappy, but his curiosity also reached the extreme, he threw the slip that he had been holding in his hand onto the eucalyptus, tilted his head forward slightly, and asked, "Zhao Tuo, who is the person you are talking about?"

Zhao Gao closed his eyes, he felt that Zhao Tuo was really stupid today.

However, in the next second, as Zhao Tuo said the person's name, Zhao Gao's eyes widened, and he looked at the young man in front of him in a daze.

Qin Wangzheng was even more strange, smiling rather than smiling.

"You say...... Mengwu?".
