After visiting Li Si and coming back, Zhao Tuo was in a much better mood.

Judging from the attitude of Li Si's performance, he has no plans to become an enemy of Zhao Tuo, at least on the surface.

As for whether the other party had other ideas inside, Zhao Tuo secretly kept an eye on it.

Han Fei has learned from the past, and he still has to beware of one or two.

"Friendship on the surface, respect and stay away."

"Hold on to the king's thighs."

"As long as the king has the king's favor and trust, no matter how they plot and deceive, there is nothing they can do with me."

Zhao Tuo set a future policy for himself, and the first point is to make meritorious contributions and be promoted, not only to improve his status, but also to gain more and more favor from Qin Wangzheng with his merits.

In the Qin State, the king is the sky.

"Wang Jian is old, and this battle should be like in history, and the winning rate is very high. I want to take advantage of this battle to make a military achievement."

Zhao Tuo thought secretly in his heart, but he did not slack off because Wang Jian was bound to win, but instead deduced the art of war with Shema in the mansion for several days.

However, in addition to the Shijian, there are also two people from Chu in Zhao Tuo's mansion.

Lu Xuan.

This person who was mistakenly arrested by the black buttocks, because of his name and identity, was left by Zhao Tuo, and entered the Qin nationality for him, and served as Zhao Tuo's attendant in the mansion.

With Zhao Tuo's current status, all kinds of process operations are a trivial matter.

Lu Juan was born in Peiyi Township, and studied with Liu Ji when he was young, although his culture is not high, he is still quite polite in his manners, and he is also influenced by Liu Ji, and he also has a heroic spirit.

He had seen the scene of Zhao Tuo being supported by thousands of soldiers in his single father; I have also heard countless times that Zhao Tuo defeated the strong with the weak and broke the army of Zuo Sima with his back to the water; Then he followed him to Xianyang City, and saw countless Qin people cheering for Zhao Tuo.

All kinds of scenes greatly shocked Lu Juan's heart.

Born in the countryside, he has never seen such heroes, nor has he ever heard of such brilliant achievements that make people's blood boil.

"Zhao Junhou's actions are no worse than those of the former Xinling Gongzi."

He could only compare what he had heard about Xinling Jun stealing talismans to save Zhao, and found that Zhao Tuo's backwater battle did not show weakness, and even made a heroic man like him feel excited.

"This is what a husband should do, gallop across the field, gallop the world, and get fame and fortune in his hands!"

"I, Lu Xuan, was born in this world, and I should travel with this person!"

Lu Juan admired Zhao Tuo very much.

At the same time, because of the betrayal of his former best friend Liu Ji, he became disgusted with Peiyi and hated Liu Ji, so he willingly completed the change of identity, fell in love with Zhao Tuo, and was willing to serve as his servant.

Zhao Tuo is also good to Lu Juan, although he is said to be an attendant, he is well clothed and fed, and he talks warmly from time to time, and treats each other with the courtesy of a "scholar", similar to a doorman.

This kind of respectful behavior made Lu Wan even more convinced.

Encouraged by Zhao Tuo, Lu Juan studied Qin language and Qin Wen carefully during this time, and was quite energetic.

Compared with Lu Xuan's smooth annexation, the situation of the other person is much more complicated.

Zhao Tuo walked and walked to the pavilion in the house, and saw that the surrounding plants and trees were in full bloom, thousands of flowers were contending, butterflies were flying, and there was a clear fragrance of plants and trees wafting in the air, which was really a beautiful spring scene.

….

A young man of about twenty was standing in the gazebo, looking at a butterfly flying in the sky in a daze.

"Zhongli hairpin, I don't know what I can live in this mansion?"

Zhao Tuo walked in and opened his mouth with a smile.

Zhong Liyi turned his head sideways, saw Zhao Tuo, and heard the title of "Zhongli Hairpin Bird" in his mouth, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Hairpin bird.

The third rank of the Qin State Knighthood.

Heaven is pitiful, he Zhong Liyi originally offered a plan to surrender, just to let the Qin army cross the river, half of the crossing and capture its main general, for the Chu State to make a great contribution.

How do you know that after being manipulated by Zhao Tuo, the deception has become a real surrender, and his various actions of Zhong Liyi have reversed

helped the Qin army cross the river.

If it weren't for his trick of surrendering, if the Qin army wanted to successfully cross the Huaishui, I am afraid it would take a lot of trouble.

The most frustrating point for Zhong Liyi is here, since this Qin general Zhao Tuo saw through his plan and successfully crossed the Huaishui, then he should cut him with a sword, this should be the normal way.

But Zhao Tuo not only did not do this, but instead took the opportunity to say that Zhong Liyi's actions were his secret communication with the Qin State, not only did he not kill him, but after returning to Xianyang, he really asked for Zhong Liyi's merits.

Helping thousands of Qin troops cross the Huai River is a very important credit.

It seems that the upper echelons of the Qin State also intended to establish Zhong Liyi as a typical example of the Chu people's pro-Qin, and rewarded him greatly, not only giving him a third-level knighthood, a hairpin bird, but also a reward of ten yi.

The most important thing is that the official Qin State will abandon Zhong Liyi's secret defection to the Ming and take the initiative to vote for Qin Eucalyptus is publicized everywhere, so that everyone in the world knows that as long as he can help the Qin army like Zhong Liyi, he will have all the title and money!

[In view of the general environment,

In this way, he Zhong Liyi is now really famous all over the world, and he is notorious between Qi and Chu, and has been scolded by countless people as "Chu Nugan".

Zhong Liyi smiled more and more bitterly, and in the face of Zhao Tuo's question, he shook his head and said, "Zhong Liyi was born in the corner of Jianghuai, and he was steep to Qindi, and it was difficult to get used to it for a while."

Zhao Tuo smiled and said, "It's okay not to get used to it, after living for a long time, you will naturally get used to it." And the land of Jianghuai is not impossible to go again. When General Wang destroys Chu this time, Chu is also Qin, and he can revisit his hometown."

Hearing this, Zhong Liyi fell silent.

In the past few days, Qin Wangzheng has officially issued an edict to attack Chu and appointed Wang Jian as the main general, wanting to pour 600,000 troops into the country, and destroy the Chu State with a shame.

Today's Qin State, except for spring ploughing, everything else is preparing for this upcoming war.

Judging from Zhong Liyi's insight, the reason why Li Xin was defeated in Chu last time was that Li Xin, the main general, made a dangerous move that caused the overturn, and secondly, Xiong Qi rebelled in Huaiyang, so the Chu State could win.

Rao is like this, and he was also defeated by this Zhao Tuo who led the army to the capital of Chu and beat Chu Di back, which can be called a shame.

Up to now, the Qin general Wang Jian is a famous general in the world, and he is known for his stability. The strength of the Qin army reached as many as 600,000, which was three times that of Li Xin's army when he attacked Chu.

In addition, it is impossible for Xiong Qi to happen again this time.

Therefore, Zhong Liyi thought that it was very likely that the state of Chu would be destroyed by Qin.

He couldn't help but sigh.

After all, he was born in Chu, and when he thought of his motherland about to fall, how could he not feel sad in his heart.

….

Zhao Tuo saw that Zhong Liyi fell into sentimentality, so he stopped speaking and silently waited for the other party to adjust his mentality.

The reason why he said those words just now was to let Zhong Liyi recognize the situation clearly.

The state of Chu is about to fall.

Zhao Tuo knew that Zhong Liyi was a smart person and not a diehard loyalist of the Chu State.

Historically, when the state of Chu fell, Zhong Liyi did not die of martyrdom.

Including later, he followed Xiang Yu to fight in the south and the north and established meritorious deeds, but when Xiang Yu Wujiang killed himself, Zhong Liyi did not accompany him.

Instead, he turned to Han Xin, hoping to survive with the help of Han Xin's protection.

Zhong Liyi is also a life-saving person.

It's just that he didn't expect Han Xin to betray him in the end, and when there was no way to live, Zhong Liyi had no choice but to kill himself.

Therefore, for Zhao Tuo, this person is a general, and there is also the possibility of subduing him, so it is not too troublesome to make this series of things, just to bring Zhong Liyi under his command.

If it was replaced by Zhang Liang's die-hard loyalty of the Six Kingdoms, Zhao Tuo would not have spent all this energy.

Zhao Tuo also believes that Zhong Liyi's cleverness will definitely be able to see his intentions.

Zhong Liyi was silent for a long time, and he looked up at the young man in front of him.

Although this person is young, he is already a famous general in the world, and his record of breaking the 10,000 Chu army in a battle against the water shocked Zhong Liyi.

He was also a man who had read military books, but he never thought that the art of war could be used like that?

It is obviously a taboo for soldiers, but the result is to win more with less, and defeat the strong with the weak.

In addition, Zhao Tuo saw through his plan, defrauded Fu Li, and Peng Cheng planned to shoot the Qu brothers to death, which also made Zhong Liyi very impressed.

In addition to admiration, Zhong Liyi has other emotions for Zhao Tuo.

Zhao Tuo clearly saw through his strategy, but he killed himself with a sword, and as a result, he not only let himself live, but also made merit for him and received money in the Qin State.

Among them, Zhong Liyi knows very well that it must be because Zhao Tuo has taken a fancy to his talent.

Zhong Liyi was only twenty years old, and not long after he came out, he was appreciated and valued by a famous general of the Qin army, and he couldn't help but feel complacent in his heart.

And after being proud, it was his gratitude to Zhao Tuo for his appreciation.

The heart of admiration, the grace of life, the feeling of appreciation......

All these things are enough to make Zhong Liyi fall in love with Zhao Tuo.

Not to mention, Zhong Liyi knew very well that he had no choice.

is famous for "Chu Nugan", in addition to taking refuge in the Qin State and joining Zhao Tuo, does he have any other choice for Zhong Liyi?

Zhong Liyi sighed, bowed to Zhao Tuo and said, "Zhong Geng is kind and affectionate, and Yi has admired Zhong Geng for a long time."

"Zhong Liyi, I am willing to serve the Zhonggen, and wait for the Zhonggen to be sent."

Zhao Tuo laughed, stepped forward, helped Zhong Liyi to his feet, and grabbed his hand.

"Since Brother Zhongli is willing to associate with me, don't be so unfamiliar, between you and me, don't be worthy of a knighthood in the future."

Zhong Li was stunned, feeling the temperature coming from Zhao Tuo's palm, he understood Zhao Tuo's intentions.

Do not distinguish between the noble and the inferior by titles.

The other party does not treat himself as an outsider.

Zhao Zhonggen actually appreciates and trusts himself so much.

Zhong Liyi became more and more grateful, and said softly, "That is the case, then Zhong Liyi has the courage to call 'Zhao Jun,'"

Zhao Tuo responded with a smile.

Zhong Liyi.

After Lu Juan, he also became his Zhao Tuo's person.

……

After taking Lu Juan and Zhong Liyi under his command in a row, Zhao Tuo was in a good mood.

His attention also turned to the national events that were in full swing.

Spring.

Spring ploughing is very important for an agrarian country.

And after the spring ploughing, it was the time when the 600,000 troops of the Qin State gathered and set off.

"Last year, he made a half-finished plough, and I don't know if he has completely built it after all this time."

"If the quyuan plough is effective, it may be able to speed up the progress of some spring ploughing."

Thinking of this, Zhao Tuo's eyes looked at the outskirts of Xianyang.

Dongjun who took off
