Chapter 399: Fighting spirit
"The Six Kingdoms have not been destroyed, why do you want to be at home?"
Qin Wangzheng raised his eyebrows, and his eyes showed surprise.
Great!
This sentence is not weaker than the old sentence "Life should be a marquis, death should be a temple food".
Among the princes of Shandong, only the weak state of Qi remained, as well as the small state of Daidi.
But although the country of Qi is weak, it is also a big country in the world, with thousands of miles of places and more than 70 cities.
The Qin State wanted to swallow it in one gulp, but it was afraid that it would take a lot of effort, and it was not yet known when the war would end.
Zhao Tuo faced what he revealed, as long as he was willing, he could immediately choose Princess Shang. Saying such words, it can be seen that this kid can clearly distinguish between national affairs and children's private affairs.
Of course, it is not excluded that Zhao Tuo had already seen his temptation and deliberately spoke.
In any case, Qin Wangzheng was very satisfied with Zhao Tuo's answer.
"That widow doesn't destroy the Qi Kingdom, won't you Zhao Tuo never get married?"
In the face of King Qin's teasing, Zhao Tuo's face remained unchanged, and he raised his head and said: "The king has the heart to dominate the world and encompass the four seas. How could the great cause of reunification be delayed because of Zhao Tuo? Zhao Tuo's wish, as he said when facing Jing Ke in the main hall in the past, only wished that the world would be unified, and that the king would become the king of the world. Only with a wise monarch like the Great King on the throne can we truly end the 500-year turmoil and bring stability to all the people in the world! ”
Qin Wangzheng's eyes were full of brilliance.
Good Zhao Tuo!
If you really know the wishes of the widow!
His original hesitation about the choice of the Vadai was completely gone.
Qin Wangzheng said in a deep voice: "In this case, the chief general of this war will be served by you, Zhao Tuo." You want to completely destroy the Zhao family's society for the widow! ”
Zhao Tuo did not hesitate, and immediately received the order: "The minister will destroy the Zhao family to sacrifice the king!" ”
Seeing Zhao Tuo's firm attitude and hearing his decisiveness when he said that he destroyed his ancestor Sheji, Qin Wangzheng became more and more satisfied.
"Very good, the widow will make a promise today."
Qin Wangzheng said generously: "Wait until the world is unified, and the six kingdoms will be destroyed." You Zhao Tuo is the widow's son-in-law! ”
"The minister will sweep the world for the king!"
Zhao Tuo also responded with promises.
A moment later, Zhao Tuo left.
Qin Wangzheng stood in place, watching Zhao Tuo's figure get smaller and smaller.
The wind, blowing, rolled his chin and his beard trembled slightly.
"Zhao Tuo fought very well in the battle to destroy Chu, but he never became the chief general of the first army after all. The destruction of Qi is the last battle to unify the world, and it is necessary to win all the merits in one battle, and end the great cause of unifying the world with a perfect end. ”
"This time, Zhao Tuo will be the main general, let him try his hand. After the substitution is destroyed, the widow will take him as the main general of the extermination. ”
"The one who helps the widow to dominate the world is my son-in-law!"
……
Xianyang City, in the Li Mansion.
Li You raised the wine and drank it all, and the smile on his face could no longer be held back at the thought of putting on the crown that he could only wear with the title of the fifth doctor.
It stands to reason that before Li You was demoted for his crimes, he reached the title of Zuo Shu Chief, which is one level higher than the current five doctors.
He is now only recovering to the fifth doctor, and there is no reason to be happy at all.
But Li You was still very happy.
"The king is still in love with me!"
Especially when he returned home, his always shrewd father, Li Si, said the same.
"Who do you think you mean by being promoted to the rank of Fifth Doctor this time?"
"Naturally, it's the king!"
Li Si smiled and stroked the white beard under his chin, and said leisurely: "Before the army came back, I inquired about your rewards and punishments. Both the lieutenant and the lieutenant of the lord thought that your defeat at Rushui was excusable, but it was a defeat after all, and considering that you had captured several cities later, they agreed that you would be rewarded with some money for your merits and crimes. ”
"This reward and punishment is fair, and the old man thinks it is appropriate. But the rewards and punishments were reported to the palace, and the king was invited to look at them. The king has no opinion on the rewards and punishments of the generals, but thinks that you have a merit in the battle of Rushui, although you were defeated, and you have a share of credit for capturing the right Sima of Chu State, so you will be promoted to a knighthood as a reward. You say it's not the king's favor to you, but what's the reason? ”
Li You was stirred by his old father's words, and he was full of spirit, and even Zhao Tuo was no longer jealous.
The king has so much trust in me that I must not let the king down.
Since returning home, Li You has only asked about the outside world, and has devoted himself to studying military books and summing up his experience in repeated battles.
Li You poured a bottle of wine and drank it all, turned his head to Li Si on the main seat and said, "Father, I heard that the king is going to send troops to destroy the dynasty after spring ploughing. At that time, I want to go to war and go to war again! ”
Hearing Li You say this, Li Si, who was peeling oranges and eating them, shuddered, and the oranges in his hand fell directly and rolled to the ground.
He glanced up at Li You, and said helplessly: "You'er, Dai is a small country, even if the king kills the dynasty, he will not send a large army, and there are not many merits to be desired, I don't think you need to go." It's better to stay in Xianyang for a while, and I'll see where there is a vacancy when I get there, and I'll ask for a lieutenant or an important position in the county for you, so as to accumulate some experience. ”
Li You's face turned red.
He cried out, "Father, you don't believe me! ”
Li Si shook his head and said, "I believe in you." ”
"Father, it is precisely because of the small country that I took the initiative to ask for war. You see, although I was defeated before, I was defeated at the hands of Xiang Yan, Zhaoping and Ye Sheng. I'm not ashamed of my defeat! ”
"Now that I have accumulated enough battlefield experience, if I go on an expedition to represent the country, I will definitely be able to make a contribution. I don't believe it, just the remnants, there can still be strong generals like Xiang Yan and Zhaoping! ”
Li You is full of confidence, even if he has been defeated repeatedly, as long as the king still favors him, he has infinite fighting spirit.
Li Si glanced at him and sighed, "Let's tell you the truth." I look at the meaning of the king, this time the dynasty is destroyed, it is very likely that Zhao Tuo is the main general. It is very likely that the king will let Zhao Tuo destroy Daiguo Sheji to show his loyalty. So, are you willing to succumb to Zhao Tuo? ”
Li You was stunned.
He used to be the Zhonglang household general of the Qin Palace.
Zhao Tuo is just a Zhonglang under him.
Now, he wants to let Li You be under Zhao Tuo and obey the command of Zhao Tuo.
Will he be able to accept it?
Li You took a deep breath, his face was blue and white for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Meng Tian was a Zhonglang general in the past, and he was still able to succumb to Zhao Tuo in the battle to destroy Chu. Since Meng Tian can do it, then I, Li You, can do it! ”
"Father, don't worry, Zhao Tuo's army can surpass me, if he is the main general of the destruction this time. I, Li You, willingly live under him and obey his command. ”
"Okay, if you can bend and stretch like this, you can be my Li man."
Li Si clapped his hands and praised, his eyes full of appreciation.
In his opinion, it is not terrible for a man to fail once, and it is not terrible to fail twice, but the terrible thing is that once he fails, he will completely lose confidence in himself, and he will no longer have the will and motivation to rise up, and he will be easily knocked down by failure, and such a man is the most incompetent.
Although Li You was defeated several times, it was because the enemy he encountered was stronger than him every time, and he was strong with weak attacks, and there was no shame in defeat.
On the contrary, Li You has been defeated again and again, and he is not discouraged, which makes Li Si quite appreciative.
He nodded, "Since you have great ambitions, I can't stop you. In this case, you will write to the king yourself, and express your ambitions, the king used to favor you, and now he sees that you are high-spirited and take the initiative to ask for battle, and you will be very happy to come. ”
Li Youying said: "Okay, I'll write immediately, and the king will definitely agree!" ”
Seeing his son's face full of spring breeze and high morale, Li Si remembered something.
He hesitated slightly, he didn't want to say it at this time, but he thought that Li You would be thirty next year, and he had no wife and no children. Now that the matter of Princess Shang has not been settled, I am afraid that if it drags on, I will gain nothing.
Li Si whispered: "You'er, I see that Feng Quji still has a daughter, and this year is in the age of Jiaxuan. Why don't you ask for a job at Fung's ......"
"Father. The daughter of the Feng family can be asked for by my brother, and she is a good match. ”
Before Li Si finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li You's loud voice.
Li You turned his head and whispered in his heart.
"Princess."
The transition is almost over, and the prelude to the war begins.
