The apse of the chapter platform.

Li Si sat next to him and sipped his tea, and I smiled, "How does it taste?" ”

Li Si smacked his lips and sighed: "Your Majesty's tea still has a fragrant smell when you drink it, and it is much better than the tea in the minister's mansion." ”

I beckoned: "Rare book, prepare some tea leaves for Li Xiang to take back." ”

Li Si smiled and arched his hand: "The minister didn't mean that, thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

I waved my hand, took a sip of tea, and got to the point: "Did Li Xiang notice that there was something wrong with the atmosphere in the hall today?" ”

Li Si put down the pale cyan teacup in his hand, and said with a slight squint in his eyes: "Your Majesty is talking about those generals?" ”

With Li Si's keenness, it was not surprising that this subtlety was noted, and I nodded, "Yes, those generals seem to be deliberately trying to show themselves. ”

An inexplicable smile rose at the corner of Li Si's mouth.

"The minister is trying to explain this matter to His Majesty."

"Oh?" I wondered, "Li Xiang already knew?" ”

Li Si shook his head slightly: "The minister only learned about it two days ago. The reason is very simple, the crux of the problem is Wu Zhichong. ”

I frowned and looked even more strange: "What does it have to do with Noon Chong?" He's just a small county magistrate who has just been appointed as the Inspector of the Qinnan Peninsula......"

Speaking of this, I came back to my senses a little, and wondered, "Is it the Inspector?" ”

Li Si nodded and said lightly: "Han Xin captured the Western Regions and Huxi, Wu Jian destroyed the Lianghu and Xiongnu, Wucheng Hou captured the Korean Peninsula, Nanshi captured Qindong Island, and Jingzhu pacified the Qinnan Peninsula. Except for the Korean Peninsula and Qindong Island, there are all inspectors stationed in them, does Your Majesty think those military generals have no ideas? ”

When I heard Li Si's words, I suddenly realized, and said in a deep voice: "Didn't I give them the title of military merit?" If the new land is handed over to these right generals, things like Hukar will keep appearing! ”

Li Si sighed and said helplessly: "As Your Majesty said, the military generals have meritorious service, but they lack experience in governing the people, and it is necessary to send supervision envoys." However, it is not surprising that the generals think that the inspectors will only hide behind and reap their benefits, not to mention robbing them of their credit, and will also suppress them. ”

I muttered, "Doesn't the cessation of foreign expansion exacerbate the contradictions between them?" ”

"Exactly."

The hall fell silent, and after a long time, Li Si spoke: "Your Majesty doesn't need to worry too much. ”

I raised my head: "What is the best plan for Li Xiang?" ”

Li Si stroked his gray goatee and said slowly: "Meng Tian is good at guarding, Nanshi is calm, and most of the people who have ideas about this are rising generals, such as Han Xin and Wu Jian, as for Jing Zhu and Wang Jin, they have no special advantages or obvious shortcomings, so they don't need to pay special attention." Chen suggested finding something for Han Xin and Wu Jian to do, so that they would not have time to think nonsense. ”

"Well, that makes sense." I thought about it for a moment, and a smile appeared in my eyes: "I have a plan for this matter." ”

Li Si asked curiously, "What does Your Majesty plan to do?" ”

I smiled: "You're right, aren't they idle?" Then let them go to the bandits. ”

"Huh?" Li Si thought that he had misheard, and wondered: "Now that Great Qin is stable inside and outside, the country is rich and the people are strong, where did the bandits come from?" ”

I shook my head and explained: "Li Xiang doesn't go out of Xianyang much, and those county guards and county orders are also better than less, where will they tell you this." Since that year's eastern tour, I ordered all the Guizhou capitals on the mountain to move to the bottom of the mountain, and although the effect was remarkable, there were still stubborn people hiding in the mountains, and they gradually developed into bandits. ”

My eyes gradually became fierce, and I said in a deep voice: "These bandits are different from rangers, although rangers are stubborn and will not rob ordinary leaders, but those bandits are different, killing people and stealing goods is simply commonplace!" I've heard that they even dig bones and skin them from living people to deter their heads! I hate that I can't cut them with a thousand cuts! ”

Li Si gradually frowned when he listened to my story, and snorted coldly: "Back then, the Qin State was so poor that there were no large-scale bandits, such as today, but there are these thieves who are doing evil, Your Majesty is wise, they must be eradicated!" ”

Then he said strangely: "How did Your Majesty know?" ”

I smiled and said, "I heard about it by chance." ”

Yinglan's moon tripod is really effective, and it can detect many "little things" that can't be taken into account in the clean room.

Li Si understood and didn't ask any more.

"Okay, Li Xiang is going to be busy, let the county guards and county orders return to their territories as soon as possible, and leave Han Xin, Meng Tian, and Wu Jian behind."

Li Si stood up and saluted respectfully: "The minister obeys!" ”

After Li Si left, I muttered: "Well, it's not good to let them go to suppress the bandits, and you have to think of a suitable reason......

The next day, Han Xin and the three sat down after meeting in the apse of Zhangtai.

The three of them looked at me a little strangely, wondering why everyone had left them behind.

I cleared my throat and said in a deep voice: "I want to make Meng Tian the right general of the Western Regions, Han Xin and Wu Jian, you two will stay in Xianyang." ”

The faces of the three of them changed, and Han Xin and Wu Jian glanced at each other without a trace.

Wu Jian said cautiously: "Your Majesty, but what did the minister do wrong?" ”

Han Xin knew that I was not satisfied with his unauthorized dispatch of troops to destroy the country, so he wisely did not speak.

I smiled and waved my hand, "You didn't do anything wrong, but because I want to reuse you!" ”

Han Xin raised his eyebrows and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, please command!" ”

Facing the hopeful gaze of the two, I said lightly: "I want to form two special forces!" ”

"What are Special Forces?"

"Let's keep it simple." I explained: "It's a special branch of the military that specializes in fighting behind enemy lines and decapitating operations. For example, Han Xin, you pretended to be an enemy during the battle of the Western Regions, and Wu Jian, you raided the Wolf Court on the grassland and captured the head man in one fell swoop. To put it bluntly, it is an elite squad sent for high-value targets. ”

Both of them are rookies and are good at surprise soldiers, so they reacted immediately and said happily: "I see! Thank you, Your Majesty! When does it start? ”

I smiled and said, "You go to the camp of Chaoyi......"

Thinking that the Chaoyi battalion had already drawn out a lot of elite soldiers, and any further extraction would affect the safety of Guanzhong, I hurriedly changed my words and said: "No, go to the Bashu battalion to select elite soldiers and strong generals, and each form a scout of 200 people." As for the training object, I heard that there are a lot of bandits in various parts of Daqin, and their cottages are easy to defend and difficult to attack, which is suitable for special operations, so you will target them, and after half a year, two teams of 100 special forces will be screened, and the person with the least casualties, the most strange soldiers, and the most people will be appointed as the right general of the special forces, and the rest of the person will go to the Great Wall to retire. ”

Seeing the embarrassed look on Meng Tian's face, I secretly said the wrong thing, but I was not in the habit of explaining to them now.

Wu Jian and Han Xin had a strong interest in special forces.

"Okay, that's it, General Meng will rush to the Western Regions to take up his post immediately, and the two of you will go to Bashu to select soldiers, and you can go to Tiewu to build any equipment you need."

"Obey your orders!"
