Qin Wangzheng was furious, and announced in public that the commander of the Qin army would be Zhao Tuo.

Wang Ben, Meng Wu and other veterans showed such looks.

This result surprised many people, but after thinking about it, it felt reasonable.

This is the king giving Zhao Tuo a chance to completely cut off from the former country.

At the same time, the envoys who had been expelled from the palace were once again expelled from the Qin palace and ordered to leave Xianyang immediately that day and return to the palace.

In the pedestrian office, the people of the representative mission were packing their bags, and the people of the mission looked sad and their eyes were full of fear.

The envoy came to see him, but was ordered by the king of Qin to get out of the Qin country, what kind of meaning was expressed, anyone can see clearly.

"Xiangbang, the king colluded with the Hu people, why didn't I know?"

Zhao Xie looked frightened, thinking of the appearance of Qin Wangzheng being angry and loudly reprimanding in the main hall, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

Zhao Jing smiled bitterly and said: "The king had no such intention, it was the Taifu Juwu of the Yan Kingdom who personally came to set up the line, he used to enter the Hu land north for the sake of the Yan Kingdom, and wanted to marry the Xiongnu Shan Yu." After Yan died, he stayed there. ”

"Now he is going south with the intention of Shan Yu, wanting to help us fight against Qin. In fact, this matter has not yet been decided, and the king is also hesitating. It's just that I didn't expect the people of the Qin State to be so powerful, and they could even find out about this matter, alas......"

After Zhao Xie listened, he sighed, and then, he remembered the voice of Qin Wangzheng that he heard from the hall when he was driven out of the hall before.

"King Qin's heart to destroy my country has been decided, listening to his words, it seems that he wants to use that Zhao Tuo as the main general!"

Zhao Jing whispered: "If it is really Zhao Tuo who is the general......"

At this point, Zhao Jing thought of Zhao Tuo's avoidance of his visit and instructed the servants in the house not to receive his gifts, and his face couldn't help but show bitterness.

"Let's go, we can't gain a foothold in Xianyang, and we will think about it in the long run after returning to the land."

……

In the Qin Palace.

After the court meeting dispersed, Zhao Tuo was called to the side hall by Qin Wangzheng.

"Zhao Jia begged for the widow on the surface, and secretly colluded with the Hu people, so the widow behaved very evilly."

"After the spring ploughing, the widow will take you as the general, go north to destroy the dynasty, and recover Liaodong by the way, how many troops do you think should be used this time?"

Qin Wangzheng didn't lie and directly asked Zhao Tuo how many people he wanted.

Zhao Tuo estimated it and said in a low voice: "The small county of the Daidi, there are only a few cities, and there are only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. But now that there is a matter of the Hu people, for the sake of safety, it is better to have 70,000 people. ”

70,000 people, both powerful combat power, enough to stabilize the country. And the number is not particularly large, so it will not cause a big burden on the national strength of the Qin State.

"Well, you are the same as the Marquis of Wucheng, but you have always sought stability. So the widow will give you seventy thousand. ”

Qin Wangzheng bowed slightly, and had no objection to this.

On the contrary, after Zhao Tuo hesitated slightly, he asked, "King, do you want to attack Liaodong?" ”

Qin Wangzheng stared at Zhao Tuo with a teasing smile on his face.

"Didn't you just say in the palace that you would destroy the ugly captives of the dynasty and sweep away Hu Yi? Liaodong is the land of Yan, although the widow destroys the society of Yan, but the land of Liaodong is not collected, and it will not be complete. Now that this place is in the hands of the Hu people, how can the widow be at peace in his heart, and just use your words to sweep away the Huyi in Liaodong. ”

Zhao Tuo sweated on his forehead.

When he said to sweep away Huyi, he obviously meant that if the Xiongnu went south to support Daiguo, he would be killed together.

The king can really draw inferences.

The land of Liaodong is the land of the Hu people in the past, because Yan Zhixian will Qin Kai break the East Hu, open up thousands of miles, and the Yan country belongs. When the Qin army destroyed the Yan State before, because of the continuous conquest of Yan Zhao, the soldiers were tired and the logistics were not continued, so there was no expedition to Liaodong.

It is different from the historical Yan Wangxi who led his elite troops to defend Liaodong and let the Yan people continue to keep the other place.

In this time and space, because Zhao Tuo offered a plan to intercept and kill, Li Xin swept away all the ministers and nobles of Yan State and the remnants of elite soldiers halfway, and Yan Wangxi also disappeared unknown, leaving the land of Liaodong without soldiers to defend.

Under such circumstances, Donghu, Gaoyi, Hui, Qian, and even the Koreans on the peninsula, who were originally suppressed by the Yan soldiers, all poured into Liaodong to divide and occupy that vast land again.

Historically, Wang Ben's capture of Liaodong was mainly due to the fact that Yan Wangxi and Yan Guosheji were still there, so the Qin army had the motivation to go on an expedition.

Now considering that the Yan Kingdom has died, the Hu people are unruly and untamable, and the Liaodong Road is far away. The court of the Qin State has always cared too much about the capture of Liaodong.

Even when a general proposed to attack Liaodong, the right prime minister Kui Xiang also objected, saying that it was a foolish thing to waste national strength to start a war with the Hu people just to fight for a remote and bitter cold land.

Qin Wangzheng has no words for this, who knows that he will say it at this time and the matter of the land.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder......

Zhao Tuo secretly complained in his heart.

From the sentence "it will never be complete" in the words of King Qin, it can be seen that the king's intention to attack Liaodong.

He estimated that Qin Wangzheng felt uncomfortable when he saw the lonely northeast territory on the map, and he was not in the territory of Qin.

Just like the southernmost part of the Chu State close to Baiyue, no matter how far away and poor that place is, Qin Wangzheng must hold it in his hands to have a sense of achievement.

So this time, he was ready to let Zhao Tuo take Liaodong and Daidi together, so that in the world, except for Qi, the territory of the princes would all fall into the hands of Qin.

Seeing that Zhao Tuo's expression was slightly different, Qin Wangzheng raised his eyebrows and said unhappily: "What, you Zhao Tuo is also the same as the prime minister, and you don't want to take Liaodong for the widow?" ”

Zhao Tuo hurriedly said loudly: "Since Liaodong was once Yan Tu and belonged to a part of Zhuxia, the king wants to take Liaodong, and the ministers are willing to serve their lives. Ranchen felt that after the destruction of the dynasty, it should be important to destroy Qi, if it involves Liaodong, the road is far and difficult, and it may be possible to delay the fighters who destroy Qi. ”

"And the minister thinks that the court of Qin, there is another person who is more suitable than the minister to conquer Liaodong, expel the Hu people, and guard the frontier for the king."

Qin Wangzheng frowned and said, "Who? ”

Zhao Tuo took a deep breath and replied: "General Li Xin is good at the battle of chariots and horses, his offensive is like fire, fast and thunderous, in the land of Liaodong, he will attack the Hu people with chariots and horses, and he will be invincible, and he is a good general who conquers Liaodong." And General Li has been in a slump since the attack on Chu, if the king can give him the opportunity to conquer, he may be able to regain the brave generals of the past. ”

"Lee Shin ......"

Qin Wangzheng closed his eyes.

"General Li is brave and brave, and his words are true."

That was his boastful words to Li Xin when he chose to destroy the coach of Chu.

Li Xin was the most favored and optimistic general of Qin Wangzheng.

"Go down."

Qin Wangzheng spoke calmly.

Zhao Tuo hurriedly saluted and retired.

Before he left, he looked at Qin Wangzheng's appearance of thinking and reminiscing, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

It depends on the situation, the king listened to his recommendation.

Zhao Tuo thought that after he came back this time, he went to visit Li Xin again, but the other party still didn't want to see each other.

"If you can make meritorious contributions on the battlefield, the former General Li may come back again."

……

Just in the city of Xianyang, the envoys of the acting state were repulsed on the spot, and Qin Wangzheng announced Zhao Tuo as the chief general of the Dynasty.

The southern county of the Qin State, Yidao (now Yidu, Hubei Province).

The new county lieutenant Li You also quickly became familiar with his position, and after installing his cronies, he set his sights on the task of his trip.

When the Qin army invaded Chu last year, the rebel Yi people who colluded with the Chu people.

"The county lieutenant, the county lieutenant of Yidao has recruited 500 soldiers, plus the 500 sharp soldiers we have brought, a total of 1,000 people are available for the county lieutenant to send. If we wait for half a month, and wait for the soldiers recruited from other counties to arrive, there should be 3,000 people. ”

The newly appointed left soldier Cao made Gong Ao and reported to the county lieutenant Li Youyu.

Li You was wearing delicate leather armor, with pointed cloth shoes on his feet, and a crown on his head that symbolized the identity of a senior military general, and his posture was very powerful.

He touched his short beard under his chin and said with a smile: "Before I came, the county guard said that spring ploughing is imminent, and it is best to put the battle of conquering the Yi people until after the spring ploughing, so as not to delay the farming work, and also let me find out the situation of the Yiren." ”

"However, the king's edict, we can delay, I told the county guard, this time I will attack the Yiren, and I will finish before the spring ploughing, so I can't wait for a moment."

"A thousand sharp soldiers, plus this Yidao county lieutenant knows the local Yi situation, it is enough for me to go to the mountains to exterminate a few small tribes of Yi people. Half a month later, two thousand soldiers from other counties arrived, plus a few small tribes that I had exterminated, and the power of the two was combined, and the rest of the Yi people would tremble and dare not fight. ”

"Then I will let him surrender and pay tribute to the king, and end the war. This can be done before the spring planting. ”

Li You looked confident, and when he saw that Gongao was still about to speak, he shook his head and said: "Don't worry, we even fought against tens of thousands of troops of the right Sima of Chu during the battle of Chu, aren't we still afraid of the barbarians in this remote place?" ”

"These Yi people have no soldiers and no armor, they are outnumbered and do not know soldiers, and their settlements are scattered all over the mountains and forests, and they will be difficult to gather in a hurry when they encounter our surprise attacks, and they can resist the soldiers of our Qin State, what are they afraid of!"

"Gong Ao, you go and prepare quickly, tonight the soldiers, tomorrow morning, we will lead the troops into the land of Yiren!"

"Yui."

Seeing that the county lieutenant had made up his mind, Gong Ao sighed and retreated.

Watching Gong Ao's figure disappear into the distance, Li You smiled faintly.

Yiren?

A group of tribes are just barbarians, and they don't even have a unified political state, and they are even inferior to the Yue people in Yue Land.

Zhao Tuo can easily subdue the Yue people, can't he Li You even clean up a few Yi people?

Early the next morning.

Thousands of armored and heavily armed Qin troops, led by the county lieutenant Li You, stepped into the mountains and forests where the Yi people were located, intending to exterminate a few tribes and deter the remaining barbarians.

At the same time, a postman was galloping on the road to Yi Road on a fast horse.

The postman's body carried a letter sent by Tingwei Lisi.

……

Time passed, spring was getting deeper, and spring plowing in various parts of the Qin State had come to an end.

With the end of spring ploughing, the grain and grass baggage began to be transferred and dispatched, and the recruited soldiers were also assembled.

Qin Wangzheng also officially issued an edict to raise troops and destroy the dynasty.

"Yan Dan, the former thief, rebelled against Qin with an assassin, and the widow fought against him with soldiers. Zhao Jia was ugly, escaped in the Daidi, the widow did not levy it, he did not think about Qin's kindness, and sent troops to help Yandan thieves, and Yu Yishui resisted Wang Shi. ”

"The people of this generation sent envoys to surrender to Qin in Xianyang, but in fact, they secretly colluded with the northern Huyi, wanting to follow the example of Shenhou in the past. Its behavior is despicable, it violates the way of heaven, and the widow will fight against it with soldiers, so as to correct the wind of the summer! ”
