Qin Wangzheng was sitting on the couch, eating a bowl of steaming noodle soup.

The noodles are soft and smooth, sprinkle the special meat sauce made by the palace chef on top and stir well.

In this cold spring season, take a bite to slip down, it is really comfortable all over, and the stomach is warm, which is much more delicious than eating corn or something.

"Manure and quyuan plough can be said to be the art of the farmer, the giant cannon is the last word of the public loser, and the battlefield military battle can also be said to be a painstaking study of the art of war. What is the explanation for this wheat eating practice? It is said that Zhao Tuo also made Keju into a football on the battlefield and made a horn and the like. ”

"Little Zhao Tuo, less than twenty years old, knows a lot of things, and I don't know who I learned from. After the world is settled, the widow will definitely dig out his details to see whose disciple he is. ”

Qin Wangzheng smiled, sucked the last mouthful of noodles into his stomach, looked at the soup in the bowl, he hesitated slightly, put down the chopstick, picked up the bowl and took a sip.

After a few moments, the maid took away the utensils.

Zhao Gaocheng, who had been prepared, sent a bunch of slips for Qin Wangzheng's approval.

He himself stood beside him with his hands down, so that when the Qin Wangzheng had ideas, he could ghostwrite orders for him, or consult some detailed legal questions.

Qin Wangzheng picked up the top slip, opened it and looked at it, the smile on his face froze.

"Li You's book?"

After reading it, Qin Wangzheng's two thick eyebrows were even tighter.

Li You took the initiative to ask for war in the above book, and was willing to work hard for the king to exterminate the small states of Daidi and work hard for the great cause of the Qin State to unify the world.

This patriotic heart and high fighting spirit made Qin Wangzheng quite praised.

Although Li You has been defeated repeatedly, in addition to luck, he also has his own command mistakes and lack of ability. But he was not discouraged by defeat, and was still full of fighting spirit and momentum, which has surpassed many people's attitude.

At least in Qin Wangzheng's opinion, Li You is stronger than Li Xin, who has not yet stepped out of the shadow of Huachu.

Qin Wangzheng glanced at Zhao Gao, who was standing respectfully on the side.

It's a pity that Li Youshuqi.

Zhao Gaojinyan's thoughts, Qin Wangzheng actually knew it, but these words were close to Yangmou, combined with Li You's three consecutive defeats, like a spike in Qin Wangzheng's heart, it must be guarded against.

But Li Youquan's patriotic heart cannot be easily attacked. And because of a rumor, Li You's future was cut off, which was too arbitrary, and he was not the master of the Holy Ming.

Qin Wangzheng thought for a moment and said, "Zhao Gao, give an order to the widow." The Nanjun Yi people rebelled, and when they attacked Chu last year, Zhuyi not only resisted and refused to pay, but also colluded with the Chu people to attack our Nanjun. Although the army is withdrawn today, it should not be spared. The fifth doctor, Li You, had a patriotic heart and ordered him to be the captain of the southern county, and the soldiers of the southern county were recruited for the widows to conquer the Yi people, and to promote Qin Wei. ”

Zhao Gao was stunned, and immediately surrendered his hand to the order, and gave an order for Qin Wangzheng.

Qin Wangzheng put down the Li Youshang book in his hand.

Look out of the hall.

Letting Li You go to Nanjun to crusade against the Yi people who rebelled against Qin last year not only reasonably avoided the matter of the Dynasty, but also a test of Li You's "number of strange".

Li Youhua Chu, always attacking the strong with the weak, suffered defeat.

Now let him fight the barbarians of Nanjun and attack the weak with the strong, this can always work, right?

……

Ever since the king and the ministers had eaten wheat at that farewell feast and praised its deliciousness.

During this time, a storm of wheat food blew in the whole Guanzhong.

With the living "billboard" of the king, the noble families rushed to buy wheat, and placed a stone mill in their homes, and at the same time found a relationship, and spent a lot of money to hire a cook who could cook wheat.

It has made wheat food a trend.

Because this is not the season when wheat is ripe, there is not much wheat in Guanzhong, resulting in a trend of wheat being out of stock in the market.

At the same time, on the black market in the shadows, the price of wheat soared, and for a time it was equivalent to corn.

The common people in Guanzhong all say that Xianyang wheat is expensive, and it is difficult to find a wheat.

At this moment, in Li's house, Li Si was holding a piece of wheat cake and nibbling on it.

Although he is old, he still has good teeth, not only likes to eat sour Huaibei oranges, but also likes to nibble on this dry and hard wheat cake in many new ways to eat wheat.

Li Si took a bite of the wheat cake, peeled off a petal of orange and stuffed it into his mouth, mixed it with chewing, and his face showed a satisfied expression.

"It's a really good wheatcake, and it fills your stomach in a small bite. You'er, in the past, Wang Ben, Meng Wu and others all said that using this thing as military food may be able to build miraculous feats during raids. If you want to go south to conquer the Yi people, may you consider this kind of food? ”

"Father, Nanjun Shaomai."

Li You replied, and said with a sad face: "I asked for my life, I had the heart to serve the country, why did the king not only not allow it, but also let me lead troops to the south to attack the Yiren?" ”

Li Si put down the cake, shook the wheat crumbs on his hand, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "You don't know how to do it, why did the king let you go to Ren Nanjun Lieutenant and let you conquer the Yi people?" This is to favor you! ”

"Pamper me, really?"

Li You was very depressed, he was ready to succumb to Zhao Tuo and make contributions to the dynasty, but he didn't know that after the book, the king gave him this strange appointment.

Li Si explained: "Hehe, what do you think the county lieutenant is? That's a silver seal and green ribbon, a high position with a rank of 2,000 stones, and if you put it on other people, you must at least have to be the lord of the left and right chiefs to be able to hold it. The king let you make a five-doctor the captain of a county, isn't it an exceptional promotion, this is a high promotion! ”

"You used to fight Chu, weren't your subordinates the Nanjun soldiers? I guess you must have a few cronies in the army, right? ”

Li You thought of the powerful general Gong Ao in the past, as well as the black-faced hundred generals who had saved his life, and couldn't help but nod and said, "There are several." ”

"You see, the king promoted you to a high position, and let you command the old troops in the past, and then attack the weak Yiren in the south, isn't this what it means to make you make contributions? From my point of view, the king trusts you and wants you to restore the former lord of the left chief, but he is worried that it will cold the other heroes of Chu, so he let you go to Nanjun to fight. ”

"As long as you Li You do a good job in Nanjun and return from defeat, you will definitely be able to regain the title of Zuo Shuchang! You say, this is not the king's favor to you, so what? Can anyone else be treated like this? ”

"Don't think about destroying the dynasty anymore, being a general under someone else's account, how can you have your own town and control the military power of a county, do you say yes or no?"

Under Li Si's words, Li You's eyes lit up when he heard it.

"Yes, father, you are right!"

"The king must have favored me, so he promoted me to be the captain of Nanjun and conquered the Yi people, so that I could be promoted to the rank of knight again! I, Li You, will definitely not disappoint the king! ”

Seeing that his son was high-spirited, Li Si nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's good that you understand." The county shou teng of Nanan County is the general who destroyed Han in the past, the old man has dealt with him, and he wants to come to you to serve as the county lieutenant there, and he will not embarrass you. Do your best, the old man is waiting for you to triumph in Xianyang! ”

"Father, don't worry, my son will not let you down!"

Li You was in high spirits, turned around and went out, and began to prepare for the south.

Seeing his son leave full of fighting spirit, Li Si sighed softly.

What I said just now was just a word of encouragement to my son.

As an old minister, he has guessed the king's intentions.

"Don't let you be the general, I think it was the king who decided to let Zhao Tuo be the main general. If what I expected is not bad, then after Zhao Tuo's destruction of the dynasty, it is logical that he can serve as the chief general of the destruction of Qi. ”

"Young talent, as long as there are no changes in the future, this son will have a bright future."

Li Si shook his head with a sigh, because of Li You's matter, he had a little grudge against Zhao Tuo, but seeing that the other party was deeply favored by the king, he had a tendency to soar to the sky.

As a qualified veteran of officialdom, he knows what to do at this time.

"Zhao Tuo, far from being comparable to Han Fei in the past."

"My Li family, you should be good friends with him Zhao Tuo."

……

"Hey, Li You has been appointed by the king as the lieutenant of Nanjun?"

In the Shaoshang Mansion, Zhao Tuo also received the news that Li You was going south this morning, and was quite surprised.

"Didn't Zhao Gao say that the king was afraid of 'counting strange'? Why did you let Li You be the county lieutenant, it seems that Zhao Gao's strategy is not very useful. ”

Zhao Tuo smiled and shook his head, he didn't have much hostility towards Li You.

First, he has the intention of befriending Li Si, not to mention being a friend, at least he doesn't want to be an enemy of people like Li Si.

The second is that in Zhao Tuo's view, Li You is indeed too miserable, he encountered Xiang Yan's surprise attack when he first entered the battlefield, and he was defeated in three battles.

Would a victorious general hate a general?

Therefore, Li You's matter was just thought about it, and Zhao Tuo left it behind and didn't put it in his heart.

Now there was another thing before his eyes.

The king asked him to greet the envoys of the Qi State who came to meet him.

Thinking of the name of the envoy of the Qi State, Zhao Tuo's face was full of smiles.

……

Outside Hangu Pass, Sanchuan Avenue.

A huge convoy of dozens of wagons stopped near a post station, where the Qi people had to drink and eat their horses and food, and then rest before traveling.

Tian Chong walked out of the post station and looked at a bamboo forest in the distance.

"Da Sima, it is said that the Yan convoy of the Qin Dynasty in the past spent the night here. It was in that bamboo forest that Qin Wuyang, the deputy envoy of the Yan State, was killed, and Jing Ke appointed Gao Tuo as the deputy envoy, which eventually led to the failure of the plan to assassinate Qin! ”

A square-faced man in his thirties, standing beside him, sighed.

The big Sima Tian Chong also sighed: "That Jing Ke is a fool, somehow he actually listened to the words of the traitor Gao Tuo and killed Qin Wuyang. ”

"If Jing Ke takes Qin Wuyang as his deputy envoy, the two of them will join forces to make the King of Qin confer the head on the main hall, how can there be today!"

"It's a pity Qin Wuyang!"

The square-faced man also said, "That's what Da Sima said. However, because of Jing Ke's assassination, the king of Qin will not let the envoys of various countries approach, and even if we want to assassinate, there is nothing we can do. ”

Tian Chong's face changed drastically, and he immediately reprimanded.

"Tian Dan (dān) don't talk nonsense!"

"This time, my Qi country is only to offer gifts and ask for peace, and dedicate Chu Yu Jingzhao and Han Kou Han Cheng to the King of Qin to show sincerity, how can I have the heart to assassinate!"

"Historical Records: The Biography of Tian Dan": Tian Dan, Di people, so the Qi Wang Tian clan also.
