The defeat in the southwest continued to ferment throughout Xianyang.

In fact, on the battlefield of military battles, it is normal to have victories and defeats.

In this world, there are only a handful of generals who have won a hundred battles, and even Wang Qian, who is known as the first military general of Great Qin, has been defeated by Li Mu.

The defeat of the Qin army in the southwest, with thousands of casualties, sounds infuriating. But if it is compared with the previous Qin annihilation of the Six Kingdoms, when he was beaten by Li Mu in Zhao State, and was severely injured by Xiang Yan and Xiong Qi in Chu State, it can only be regarded as a small defeat, and it is not worth making too much noise.

But who made this matter just catch up with the triumph of the northwest, northeast and southeast, in comparison, it seems that the "dazzling" of this southwest war, plus the commander of this battle is still a "famous general" of Qin, which makes countless people look sideways.

In a short period of time, Li You's reputation spread throughout Xianyang.

Even the name of "Shuqi County Lieutenant" also suppressed Li Xin, who destroyed Donghu, and Feng Wuxue, who surrendered Dongou, can already be compared with Zhao Tuo, the martial arts marquis.

"You'er, You'er, when you were in Xianyang, I should have forcibly let you get married. Even if you die in the southwest this time, you might as well leave an heir. ”

In the mansion, Tingwei Li Si sighed.

Although he is a resolute person, he is an old father after all, and he has poured too much effort into his unsuccessful son.

In addition, he is old and attaches great importance to his descendants and descendants, and now that Li You does not know his life and death, Li Si's heart is naturally uncomfortable, especially regretting that he did not let Li You leave his blood.

Because of the relationship between the princess, Li Youdu is in his thirties and has not yet started a family, which makes Li Si sigh when he thinks of this.

"Don't be sad father, I think my brother will be fine."

Li Yu couldn't stand it, and opened his mouth to comfort: "Father, think about it, back then, my brother was attacked by Xiang Yan and Zhaoping with Li Xin, and he was almost wiped out, everyone thought that his brother was dead, and even his father was buried for him, but what was the result?" My brother hasn't escaped yet, and if there was one time, why wouldn't there be a second time? ”

"And even if my brother is defeated and there is no news, it doesn't necessarily mean that he died in battle, maybe he was captured by those Yi people? The elder brother is the son of Tingwei, the dignified lieutenant of Shu County, and I have Daqin behind him, and those Yi people may not dare to touch their brother, and they have to eat and drink well. ”

Hearing Li Yu's relief, Li Si also remembered what happened to Li Youhua Chu at the beginning.

At that time, the news that came back to Xianyang was also a great defeat of the Qin army, and Li You did not know whether he was alive or dead, which was very similar to the current scene.

"Yu'er, you're right. Whether your brother has fled back or been captured by those Yi people, it will not be useful for me to grieve here, for the sake of the present, or to ask the emperor to send troops to the southwest immediately. If Yu'er is captured by the Yi people, he may be able to exchange it back. If Yu'er dies...... Those barbarians in the southwest, they should also be damned! ”

Li Si regained his strength and walked out of the "pain of losing a child", with a gleam in his eyes.

Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and at the same time secretly complained in his heart about his brother.

"Brother knows that he is a strange person, so he should stay in Xianyang, so he has to ask for his life to go to the southwest to fight, and in the end he ended up like this, I really have no self-knowledge, alas."

……

Li Si wanted to ask the emperor to send troops to the southwest as soon as possible, but he didn't expect that at the great court meeting on the second day, someone would move faster than him.

"The people of the Southwest Yi deceived me by deception and raided my Great Qin, which led to the defeat of the Southern Expeditionary Army, the loss of thousands of people, and the fall of the Shu County Lieutenant, which is really the shame of my Great Qin. Today, there is a letter to the chief of the left, willing to lead the army to the south, sweep away the people in the southwest, and revitalize the prestige of my Great Qin. ”

The person who spoke was Taiwei Wang Ben.

Because Ren Huan's title is only the head of the left, he has no qualifications to go to the palace to discuss politics, so he asked for war through the Taiwei Mansion in charge of military affairs.

After Wang Ben asked Ren Huan to ask for war, the first emperor on the emperor's couch nodded slightly, glanced at the ministers in the hall and said: "Zuo Shu Chang Ren Huan asked for orders to lead troops to conquer the southwest Yi, and the secretaries can have objections. ”

The ministers in the palace looked at Zhao Tuo, the martial arts marquis who was standing in the first row of the generals, everyone knew that Ren Huan was a friend of the martial arts marquis, and now he asked to fight south, was it the order of the martial arts marquis?

Even Li Si looked at Zhao Tuo, wanting to see one or two from his expression.

Zhao Tuo faced Zhu Qing's gaze and just smiled faintly.

Everyone understood that this matter had indeed been discussed with the Marquis of Wugong.

Although there are also generals in the DPRK who are eager to seek the credit of the Southwest Yi, but now that Ren is asking for battle, and there is the support of the big man of Wugong Hou behind them, they can only press their thoughts to their hearts and bow their hands together: "The ministers have no objections." ”

"In this case, he took Zuo Shu Chang Ren Huan as the general, and ordered him to recruit soldiers and horses from the three armies of Shu, Ba, and Hanzhong to conquer the southwest Yi."

The First Emperor spoke, the flames of vengeance burning in his eyes.

He naturally knew about the fact that the Manchu Dynasty ministers raised their eyes to Zhao Tuo just now, but the First Emperor didn't care.

All the emperor wants is revenge!

If you can avenge him, you will naturally be rewarded.

If he fails, he will have to bear his wrath.

In the court, it was decided to conquer the southwest again.

But Li Si was still a little uneasy, and he personally went to visit the Zuo Shu Chang Ren Huan's mansion.

Faced with the arrival of Tingwei in person, Ren Huan was flattered and hurriedly welcomed Li Si into the mansion.

"My son is incompetent, he has lost his teacher and humiliated the country, and he has been trapped in the southwest and still does not know life and death, which is really a shame for my Daqin. However, the father and son are hard to give up, and the old man heard that General Ren was about to conquer the southwest, and asked the general to find the traces of the old man during the expedition. ”

"If he is captured by the Yiren, please ask the general to save his life, if he ...... is dead, please find his body and send it, Prime Minister Lao Futon worships! ”

As soon as he entered the mansion, Li Si's face was full of mourning, regardless of his own status and dignity, and went straight to Ren to bow down.

"The court captain can't help it! I can't help it! ”

Ren Huan was shocked, and hurriedly supported Li Si's body, not letting him bow down, and shouted in his mouth: "I, Ren Huan, have been favored by Brother Li, and this time I asked for my life to go south, just to save Brother Li, even the martial arts marquis is also concerned about Brother Li's safety, and told me to find Brother Li's traces." ”

Li Si was stunned, he didn't expect that this arrogance, and even Zhao Tuo, would be concerned about his son Li You.

In his heart, there was still a touch of warmth, and he arched his hand and said: "If this is the case, then there will be Lao Zuoshu." ”

Ren Huan said: "Although Tingwei can rest assured, no matter whether Brother Li is dead or alive, I will definitely find him and send him back to Xianyang." ”

……

The defeat of the southwest made the first emperor very annoyed, and he couldn't wait to send troops to sweep away the southwest Yi, and he was ashamed, so after Ren Hu asked for war, the matter of Daqin's re-conquest of the southwest Yi moved very quickly.

The three-way messenger galloped fast.

The soldiers and horses of Ba County and Hanzhong began to gather in Shu County, and the Shu County Guard was also re-recruiting local Shu people into the army.

This time, the emperor took Zuo Shu Chang Ren Huan as the commander, and recruited a total of 15,000 soldiers and horses from the three counties, which was twice as many as the soldiers of Li Youshu County before, and he was bound to sweep the southwest in one fell swoop, sweep away the Yiren and take revenge.

"Brother Li, if you are captured by the Yiren, I will definitely rescue you back."

"If you die, I will definitely find your body, so that you can return to Xianyang."

When Ren Huan left Xianyang, he secretly made an oath.

Back then, Li You desperately entangled the right Sima of Chu in Rushui, allowing him to make great contributions and become famous.

This kind of friendship, he must repay it!

But what Ren Huan didn't expect was that when he arrived in Shu County, he actually saw the man who was supposed to be missing.
