Zhao Sihu looked at Wang Jian suspiciously, and always felt that something was not quite right.

After coming to Daqin for so long, Zhao Si can be regarded as knowing the specific process of Li Xin's rise.

After Di Daohou Li Yao, he was born rich and noble, and his uncle was Li Mu, the god of war, and his family history was born.

Li Xin is an out-and-out second generation, whether it is inherited from power or from family.

Therefore, Li Xin's combat method is very similar to Li Mu's combat method, in fact, to put it bluntly, the roots of the two are the same, the family education inheritance is the same, and the tactics that are finally comprehended by a master will naturally end up in the same way.

Li Xin joined the army as a young man, had a background, and had a family education, and soon made a name for himself in the army, and then he was invincible.

As we all know, the first emperor liked young people.

The young and victorious Li Xin was favored by the First Emperor, and with the support of the First Emperor, the power struggle between the Shaozhuang faction and the Laocheng faction officially began.

The generals of the younger generation were headed by Li Xin, and the generals of the older generation were headed by Wang Qian.

Before the war of Chu, Li Xin did not taste a defeat, and the results were impressive, and the battle of Chu fell, the first emperor fell into hesitation.

Both Li Xin and Wang Jian claimed to have the certainty of victory.

It's just that Wang Jian wants 600,000 soldiers and horses, while Li Xin only needs 200,000 soldiers and horses.

Emperor Shi finally chose Li Xin.

The gap between 600,000 soldiers and 200,000 soldiers can be imagined.

At that time, Great Qin was committed to destroying the Six Kingdoms and unifying the world, and fighting a war was logistics.

The gap between the number of 400,000 and the logistics gap, even though Li Xin seems to be a little overbearing, but in the face of Li Xin's invincible record, the First Emperor still chose to believe it.

The Young Zhuang faction achieved a milestone victory,

So Li Xinxing divided his division into Chu, led an army of 200,000, and divided into two routes with Meng Tian's soldiers, conquered Pingyu, Mengqiu, Yanying, and Liankechu's army, and the Chu army could only run for its life.

But it was a coincidence that Changping Jun rebelled against Yingchen in the rear of the Qin army at this time, and the old Chu and the old Han nobles near Yingchen responded one after another, Li Xin's rear was in turmoil, the logistics were interrupted, Li Xin had to turn around and quell the rebellion, Xiang Yan seized the opportunity and followed for three days and three nights, so Li Xin was defeated.

Li Xin's defeat was not just due to the light of the enemy.

Because Yingchen was the territory of Qin, Changping Jun was specially sent to Yingchen by the First Emperor to appease the local people.

After this defeat, Li Xin followed Wang Jian several times to destroy the world and completely disappeared.

"Even if Li Xin loses, he only loses to Xiang Yan, will he still miss when dealing with a group of filthy people?" Wang Jian noticed Zhao Si's suspicious gaze and snorted.

"I always feel that something is not right, as far as I know, the defeat of the Chu army, His Majesty did not punish the Marquis of Longxi, why did the Marquis of Longxi disappear later?" Zhao Si looked at Wang Qian.

When Wang Jian heard this, he knew that he couldn't scare Zhao Si, so he sighed slightly and opened his mouth quietly.

"You should know that when the Marquis of Longxi was in Chu, I called it sick and returned to my hometown, right?" Wang Jian asked.

Zhao Si nodded.

Wang Jian leaned comfortably on the wheelchair, his eyes were a little embarrassed.

"At that time, Li Xin had never tasted defeat, so how could the old man have ever lost?

In terms of qualifications, he is just a rising star to me.

In terms of ability, there is at most no difference between him and me.

In terms of merit, Your Majesty is pro-government, sweeping away obstacles, I have made a lot of efforts, and I am not inferior to him in the slightest.

Among the six countries, only Chu Daye, as a general, who doesn't want to attack and destroy Chu to prove his martial arts? Wang Jian shook his head.

"So the old general was angry at the time?" Zhao Si asked.

Wang Jian just wanted to say that the situation was complicated at that time, and it was not so simple, but after thinking about it, he nodded again.

"You can say the same thing."

Later, the Marquis of Longxi was defeated...... Your Majesty killed Chang Pingjun and Chang Wenjun because of this, you should have heard of it. Wang Jian asked.

"I know, after the defeat of the Marquis of Longxi, His Majesty personally invited you to go out of the mountain." Zhao Si looked at Wang Qian.

Wang Jian was silent for a moment, but shook his head.

"In fact, after Li Xin's army was defeated, His Majesty not only did not blame him, but even planned to let him attack Chu again.

200,000 soldiers and horses are not enough, then 400,000, 400,000 soldiers and horses are not enough, then 600,000. His Majesty values Li Xin as a person. Wang Jian had a slightly strange look in his eyes.

"Then why is the Marquis of Longxi ......" Zhao Si said at the right time.

"In the first battle, my heart was empty......" Wang Jian was silent for a long time and shook his head.

"That's why Your Majesty had to ask me to go out of the mountain." Wang Jian let out a long sigh.

"After the defeat of the Chu army, the Marquis of Longxi asked for the guilt, but this defeat was not a crime of war, His Majesty did not punish him, it was the Marquis of Longxi who consciously failed His Majesty and insisted on resigning." Wang Jian fell silent.

"In that case, then I'll probably know it." Zhao Si nodded.

The First Emperor chose Li Xin, so Wang Jian was angry and chose to resign and return to his hometown to give the First Emperor eye medicine, without giving the First Emperor any face.

Therefore, Li Xin's victory was extremely important for the First Emperor.

Li Xin himself also understands this truth, young talents, soldiers marched thousands of miles, and conquered everything, but unfortunately they fell short and returned to the country in defeat.

However, even so, the First Emperor still did not blame Li Xin.

In the face of his subordinates who made him lose face, the first choice of the first emperor was not to ask for guilt but to appease.

200,000 is not enough, then 400,000, 400,000 is not enough, then 600,000!

As we all know, the First Emperor was a strong man.

Wang Jian resigned and returned to his hometown, without saving any face for the first emperor, with the character of the first emperor, unless there is no choice, there is a high probability that he will not bow his head.

The First Emperor wanted to fight for this breath, but Li Xin emptied his heart, and he couldn't fight.

The first emperor was forced to put down his body and personally invite Wang Jian out of the mountain, Wang Jian was complacent, and the bridge section of pretending to be forced to slap his face was finally completed, and Wang Qian, who had reoccupied the high ground with IQ, realized what kind of mistake he had made.

Pick the emperor to pretend to be slapped in the face, right?

Therefore, after Wang Jian agreed to lead the troops to the battle, he immediately took all kinds of countermeasures to defile himself, hoping that he would not end up with a cunning rabbit and a dead lackey.

It turned out that the First Emperor was not so stingy.

So Wang Jian succeeded, the state of Chu perished, and Wang Jian became the only existence of Great Qin.

The so-called wise self-preservation also requires the king to be able to hear the qin and know the elegance.

And after the fall of the Chu State, the First Emperor still did not give up on Li Xin.

In the process of subsequently unifying the world, Li Xin still has a lot of reuse, but unfortunately, Li Xin no longer has the confidence to lead an army alone.

Judging from the battle record, in the war to destroy Yan and Qi after the war against Chu, Li Xin still showed such indomitable and unstoppable.

It's a pity that his heart is empty, and he is bent on resigning, and the First Emperor gave him a chance after his defeat, and he was still willing to give Li Xin a long recovery period after being forced to slap him in the face by his courtiers.

But Li Xin is not the invincible and high-spirited young man after all, the first emperor may have regrets, or he may be angry, in short, he just let Li Xin disappear.

For the First Emperor, this is nothing, it is nothing more than a person who trusts him to let himself down again, he has long been used to it.

But...... That's not right.

Zhao Si looked at Wang Qian: "Then in this case, I and the Marquis of Longxi are not related, how can I invite the Marquis of Longxi?" ”

"You only said that for the sake of Your Majesty, the Marquis of Longxi must be willing to die." Wang Jian smiled.

Zhao Si nodded.

Although Li Xin failed in the battle of Chu, he was able to become a marquis in such a high-intensity war that Great Qin dominated the world, and conquered several countries, and bullied the loose and unorganized filthy people.

Well...... In this way, Dongyi's side has nothing to worry about.

It's just that for Wang Jian deliberately mentioning Li Xin, Zhao Si still has a little doubt in his heart.

He always felt that if things were so simple back then, Wang Qian, the old fox, should not be like this, it was nothing more than a king and a loser.

In the conversation with Wang Qian, Zhao Si can always feel a trace of guilt.

Leaving Wang Qian's mansion with doubts in his heart, Zhao Si still decided to go to the house of Li Xin, Marquis of Longxi.

Objectively speaking, this is also a tragic general.

His ability is absolutely undoubted, just disappearing, it is indeed a bit of a waste, although Zhao Si knows a lot of talents, but there are never too many talents.

After Zhao Si left, Wang Qian, who was sitting in a wheelchair, was left behind, and beckoned his subordinates to push him into the courtyard.

Closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

When people get old, they always miss the past, and the older they get, the clearer the memories of the past seem to become.

Of course, he felt guilty about Li Xin and even for the First Emperor.

Because, he foresaw Changpingjun's rebellion in advance.

At that time, the First Emperor was purging the forces of Great Qin's relatives, among which Chu's relatives were headed by Changping Jun and Chang Wenjun.

Who are the two?

After Lü Buwei's death, Chang Pingjun and Chang Wenjun were the number two and number three figures of Great Qin.

At the same time, it is also the royal family of the state of Chu.

The marriage between Qin and Chu has always been a long time, after all, one is a country of tigers and wolves, and the other is a country of barbarians, both of which are not treated well by the countries of the Central Plains, and can only play by themselves, so among the Qin countries, the foreign relatives of the Chu State are extremely serious.

It was extremely unwise for the First Emperor to make a move against the state of Chu before completely clearing out the forces of his relatives, which was too hasty for Wang Qian.

And the First Emperor also made a very wrong choice.

Send Changping Jun to appease Yingchen, you must know that Yingchen is the old capital of Chu.

Let Changping Jun be a Chu royal family, and the son of King Chu Kaolie go to the old capital of Chu to appease the Chu people, which is no different from letting the rats into the rice tank.

After the first emperor made a decision, Wang Jian had a premonition of the problem.

It's just that at this time, he was not chosen by the First Emperor, and he chose to return to his hometown because of his anger.

For Wang Qian, all this should have been avoided.

It is precisely because of this that after Li Xin's defeat, he was shocked to realize that he was not as happy as he imagined.

After taking over the important task of Vachu as he wished, Wang Jian realized what kind of stupid thing he had done.

Wang Jian is not only planning troops, but also planning the country, Li Xin can only see the battlefield, while Wang Jian can see more, this is the gap between Wang Jian and Li Xin.

So after the success, with Li Xin's self-abandonment, the fall of a new star, and the first emperor's frankness, that trace of guilt often lingered in Wang Qian's mind.

Even later, Wang Jian took the initiative to persuade Li Xin on behalf of the First Emperor, but unfortunately it was not done in the end.

Some people can quickly come out of failure, and some people can't.

When people are old and dying, they always think about what can make up for those small regrets.

Putting aside the opposition of positions, Wang Jian also had to admit Li Xin's talent.

At least it's much stronger than the stupid eldest son of his own family, this is a person who can replace himself as a minister of the Pillar Country in the real sense.

Whether it's from a private point of view or from any point of view.

And the other side......

Zhao Si rode in a car, traveled for a long time, and came to the mansion of Li Xin, the Marquis of Longxi, to hand over his worship sticker.

"Shangqing? Zhao Si? Li Xin frowned slightly, slightly unfamiliar with this name.

Obviously, not everyone will always pay attention to the news in the court, especially Li Xin.

Since he retired and returned to his hometown, he has not taken the initiative to inquire about the affairs of the court for a long time, and everything that has been past is like a dream to him.

"It's the boy who returned from the sea earlier and brought back three kinds of immortal food, and our family still grows it." Li Xin's son Li Chao stood next to him and answered questions for Li Xin.

"Now this secretary is very popular, it is said that he is His Majesty's closest minister, and even the faithful minister Meng Yi is not as good as him.

Li Xin glanced at his son, was silent for a moment, and said, "Welcome!" ”

Li Chao responded and sent his subordinates to inform him.

In a moment, Zhao Si, who looked like a human dog and looked different from ordinary people, and his body was not like a mortal, had already stepped into the hall.

Li Xin was looking at Zhao Si, and Zhao Si was also looking at Li Xin.

Today's Li Xin is in his mid-teens, and he looks more calm at the age of forty, with a resolute face, relatively three-dimensional facial features, and full of sharpness, but the well-trimmed beard makes this sharpness slightly reduced, and his posture is more burly, even if he is sitting Zhao Si, he can see that he is at least a seven-foot-tall man.

It's just that the appearance and posture are only external, no matter how carefully decorated, but that trace of twilight is also very obvious.

"I've seen the Marquis of Longxi."

"I've seen Shangqing......"

After saluting each other, Zhao Si was invited to sit in the guest seat, and a maid went to fetch drinks and snacks.

Wine, feast, get acquainted with each other, after a brief introduction, Zhao Si got straight to the point and expressed his intention.

"It's not a secret, I took the liberty to visit the Marquis of Longxi today, and I really have something to ask for." Zhao Si looked at Li Xin.

Li Xin frowned, as if he was a little displeased.

"I've resigned, and Shangqing has found the wrong person." Li Xin shook his head.

"This fact is not for me, but for Your Majesty, when the wind and rain are stormy, Your Majesty has no one available, so I have to take the liberty of disturbing the Marquis of Longxi." Zhao Si backhanded a moral kidnapping.

Wang Jian said that it was very simple to deal with Li Xin, and he only needed to tell him that it was for His Majesty.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhao Si said this, Li Xin's original impatient expression disappeared, but after a slight groan, he let out a sneer.

"Your Majesty has ruled the world and destroyed the Six Kingdoms, and Daqin has the Marquis of Che in charge, sitting on millions of soldiers, why is it stormy?"

Zhao Si heard this, and a smile appeared on his face.

It seems that Li Xin, the Marquis of Longxi, has not been involved in the affairs of the court for a long time.

Well, that's better to fool.
