Da Qin: From a disciple of Fusu to a generation of imperial masters

Chapter 337 Fusu recommends Han Xin! Han Xin meets the First Emperor!

Zhang Han was stunned when he heard Fusu's words. After a moment, he reacted and a bitter smile appeared on his face.

If Prince Fusu had not reminded him, Zhang Han would have indeed forgotten such an important thing.

He and Li Xin also drank several times, and every time Li Xin got drunk, he would mention attacking the State of Chu.

They all looked decadent. Master Fusu was right. This was indeed Li Xin's concern.

If Li Xin were to go to the border to replace Meng Tian, ​​he would become the main general of the border.

In order to make up for the disastrous defeat of Chu, it is indeed possible that Li Xin brought soldiers with him to the border.

Attacking the Huns' base camp would most likely result in the loss of the lives of the soldiers.

After all, the Xiongnu Chanyu is in his own base camp and will have many defenses.

When Ying Zheng heard Fusu's words, there was a hint of complexity on his face. Li Xin was defeated by the State of Chu.

Ying Zheng also felt very regretful. This tragic defeat not only caused a general he valued very much to suffer from mental illness.

A large number of soldiers would have been lost if General Wang Jian had not personally led the expedition.

If you want to conquer the State of Chu, you may have to pay a higher price.

Ying Zheng agreed with what Fusu had just said.

Ying Zheng did not blame Li Xin, but Li Xin couldn't get over it in his heart.

"What Fusu said makes sense. Li Xin is indeed not suitable to go to the border to replace Meng Tian as the commander."

"In that case, let Wang Ben replace Meng Tian and go to the border as the chief general."

"Wang Ben's military ability is obvious to all. He has made great contributions to my conquest of the six kingdoms. He is worthy of being called a famous general."

When Ying Zheng mentioned Wang Ben's name, there was a hint of satisfaction on his face.

Zhang Han, who was standing aside, also agreed with His Majesty's choice. General Wang Ben was the son of General Wang Jian.

The father and son conquered the six kingdoms and destroyed five of them. It was most appropriate to let General Wang Ben replace Meng Tian as the main general on the border.

When Fusu heard that the First Emperor had asked Wang Ben to replace Meng Tian, ​​he said, "I report to my father."

"It is indeed appropriate for General Wang Ben to replace General Meng Tian as the commander of the border."

"But I want to recommend someone. This person will replace General Meng Tian and ensure that the border is safe and secure."

Fusu looked at the First Emperor and expressed his thoughts.

When Zhang Han heard Fusu's words, there was a hint of surprise on his face. Prince Fusu actually personally recommended the chief general to replace Meng Tian.

He also wanted to know who Prince Fusu recommended, who was more suitable than General Wang Ben.

Ying Zheng smiled when he heard Fusu's words. He already understood that Fusu was not only asking him to let Meng Tian return to Xianyang City today.

He also wanted to use this as an excuse to recommend a candidate for the main general to himself.

Ying Zheng instantly thought of some generals of the Qin Dynasty, and wondered which general Fusu would consider more suitable than Wang Ben.

"Which general could be recommended by you, Fusu? I would like to hear it."

Ying Zheng looked at Fusu, waiting for Fusu to tell him which general it was.

"Your Majesty, the person I recommend is not a general of the Qin Dynasty."

"He is just an ordinary person from Huaiyin County. His name is Han Xin and he does not hold any official position."

"I want Han Xin to replace General Meng Tian and become the chief commander of the border."

Fusu looked at the First Emperor and said Han Xin's name.

The study room suddenly became quiet, and Zhang Han looked at Fusu with wide eyes.

He originally thought that the person recommended by Fusu was a military general of the Qin Dynasty, but he did not expect that the main general recommended by Fusu was an ordinary person from the county town who had no official position.

The border commander holds a very high official position and is able to lead border soldiers in battles.

Prince Fusu asked an ordinary person to lead the soldiers to fight, and Zhang Han even thought he had heard it wrong.

The smile on Ying Zheng's face disappeared at this time. He did not expect that the person recommended by Fusu as the commander was an ordinary person who had never been on the battlefield.

Ying Zheng did not scold Fusu, as he understood Fusu's character.

Fusu would not ignore the people of Qin just to make his confidants the top executives.

"Fusu, why do you think Han Xin can replace General Meng Tian as the commander of the border?"

"The Xiongnu suffered two major defeats and were indeed unable to attack the border."

"If Han Xin is made the commander-in-chief, the Xiongnu Chanyu will hear the news."

"We know that the new commander is a rookie with no battlefield experience and is likely to lead a large army to attack border cities."

"In this way, the border cities may be breached by the Xiongnu army."

Ying Zheng looked at Fusu and expressed his thoughts.

Fusu nodded slightly when he heard what the First Emperor said, "Father's concerns are correct."

"Let an ordinary person with no battlefield experience become the commander of the border."

"I'm sure the ministers in the court and the soldiers on the border will not agree."

"But I believe in Han Xin's ability and that he is qualified to be the commander of the border."

"Besides, Han Xin was recommended to me by my teacher Lin Xuan."

"Father, you have already met my teacher and know him well."

“There are only a few people who can be praised by the teacher.”

"Father, you have seen the ability of Xiao He, the chief examiner of the imperial examination."

"Xiao He was also recommended to me by my teacher, and I recommended him to my father."

"When the teacher recommended Han Xin to me, he said that Han Xin's military ability was not inferior to that of Generals Bai Qi and Wang Jian."

"Han Xin becoming a general of the Qin Empire will bring a top commander to the Qin Empire."

Fusu looked at the First Emperor and repeated what his teacher Lin Xuan had said to praise Han Xin.

Zhang Han, who was standing by, was very surprised at this time. He had also met Prince Fusu's teacher Lin Xuan.

Zhang Han admired this man very much. After all, he had seen the changes in Prince Fusu and the problems that His Majesty had solved.

Lin Xuan praised Han Xin as being comparable to Generals Bai Qi and Wang Jian. Such praise was too high for a military general.

The two generals that Zhang Han admired most were Bai Qi and Wang Jian. To be precise, all the generals of the Qin Dynasty admired these two generals.

The achievements of General Bai Qi and General Wang Jian are enough for them to look up to.

Zhang Han was very curious about Han Xin. He wanted to see what the person who was praised so much by Lin Xuan looked like.

When Ying Zheng heard Fusu mention Lin Xuan, he felt a little admiration in his heart.

After talking with Lin Xuan at Fusu Mansion, he fully understood how powerful this man was.

Ying Zheng believed that Han Xin must be an outstanding person since he was praised so highly by Lin Xuan.

If Han Xin was good at military affairs, he could be comparable to Wang Jian and Bai Qi.

This is good news for Daqin, after all, General Wang Jian is now old.

Generals like Wang Ben still have some gaps to go before they can become top commanders.

"Since he is recommended by your teacher Lin Xuan, I naturally have no doubts about Han Xin's military ability."

"The position of the border commander is too important. I still want to meet Han Xin in person."

"I also want to see what the person who can be praised by Lin Xuan looks like."

Ying Zheng looked at Fusu and expressed his thoughts.

When Fusu heard what the First Emperor said, a smile appeared on his face. It seemed that his father valued his teacher very much.

He just mentioned that Han Xin was recommended by his teacher, and his father no longer doubted Han Xin's ability.

"Han Xin is outside the palace. Father can ask the eunuch to summon Han Xin to the study."

"Oh?"

"You've brought everyone here. It seems you're well prepared."

When Ying Zheng heard Fusu say that Han Xin was just outside the palace, he instantly realized that Fusu had brought Han Xin to see him today.

"Someone, bring Han Xin to the study!"

"promise!"

An eunuch heard what the First Emperor said, bowed and went out of the palace.

In the palace garden, Han Xin walked along under the guidance of the eunuch. Looking at the beautiful scenery around him, Han Xin felt a little nervous.

He now felt it was very unreal, as not long ago he was still fishing in the county town to fill his stomach.

Now, not only did he come to Xianyang City to meet Prince Fusu, but today he also came to the palace to meet the Emperor of Qin.

Han Xin took a deep breath to ease his nervous mood.

"His Majesty is in the study. Don't forget to greet him when you see him."

Led by the eunuch, Han Xin came to the outside of the study.

"Han Xin understands!"

When Han Xin heard the eunuch's instructions, he bowed.

"Your Majesty, Han Xin is here!"

The eunuch straightened his clothes, looked towards the study and shouted loudly.

"Come in!"

Zhang Han's voice reached the ears of the eunuch and Han Xin, and the eunuch pushed open the door.

Han Xin straightened his clothes and walked into the study.

When Han Xin entered the study, he smelled a fragrance. This fragrance made Han Xin's tense body relax instantly.

After walking a few steps, Han Xin saw Prince Fusu standing beside him.

A strong man in armor stood on the other side of Fusu.

A middle-aged man wearing a black dragon robe and with a resolute expression sat behind a desk full of memorials.

"I, Han Xin, pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

Han Xin looked at the middle-aged man, knelt down and bowed.

He knew that the middle-aged man with a resolute face in front of him was the first emperor who unified the six kingdoms and established the Qin Empire.

Zhang Han, who was standing aside, looked at Han Xin who was kneeling on the ground.

Han Xin looked very ordinary and did not have a strong body like the military generals.

Zhang Han had a hint of doubt in his heart, wondering if this person was really as Lin Xuan described.

Can he be compared with Wang Jian and Bai Qi? Zhang Han had a little doubt in his heart.

Ying Zheng looked at Han Xin in front of him. Han Xin seemed ordinary.

Ying Zheng did feel that Han Xin had a different temperament.

This made Ying Zheng curious about Han Xin, "Get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

When Han Xin heard what the First Emperor said, he stood up and bowed his head slightly with a respectful expression.

"I always like to be straightforward. Fusu will bring you to the palace to see me."

"You know the reason."

"Fusu and Lin Xuan both recommended you to me to replace General Meng Tian as the commander of the border."

"I am well aware of Lin Xuan's abilities. He praised you as being comparable to Generals Bai Qi and Wang Jian."

"Today I want to see your military capabilities."

Ying Zheng looked at Han Xin and went straight to the point without saying much.

The study became quiet again, and Fusu and Zhang Han stood aside without saying a word.

Fusu looked at Han Xin. He and his teacher Lin Xuan had done everything they could.

Next is Han Xin’s own performance. If Han Xin cannot satisfy his father.

He would not be able to replace Meng Tian and become the main general on the border.

When Han Xin heard what the First Emperor said, he stood there in a daze.

It took him a while to react. He knew in his heart that His Majesty was really testing him.

Han Xin glanced at Fusu out of the corner of his eye. If it weren’t for Fusu and Lin Xuan.

He is still fishing by the river in Huaiyin County to satisfy his hunger. How could he have the chance to meet the First Emperor?

Lin Xuan and Fusu did so much for him, if he failed to seize this opportunity.

Not only was Han Xin unable to give an explanation to himself, but he also let down Lin Xuan and Fusu for their help.

"Your Majesty, I have always loved studying war."

"The battles that took place when Your Majesty conquered the six kingdoms are all vividly remembered by me."

"I also have my own understanding of the war between the six countries. I would like to ask Your Majesty to take a look."

Han Xin said this and took out a memorial from his sleeve.

Ying Zheng glanced at Zhang Han beside him, and Zhang Han walked up to Han Xin.

He took the memorial, held it in both hands and placed it in front of the First Emperor.

Ying Zheng opened the memorial and read it carefully. The only sound in the study was that of Ying Zheng flipping through the memorial.

Han Xin nodded slightly, not daring to breathe, feeling very nervous.

The emperor of Daqin was looking at his understanding of the war between the six countries, and Han Xin was very nervous.

"Snapped!"

As Ying Zheng slammed the memorial shut, Fusu, Zhang Han and Han Xin all looked towards the First Emperor at the same time.

At this time, Qin Shihuang had a smile on his face, and he looked at Han Xin with satisfaction.

Zhang Han, who was standing aside, was stunned. Having been by the emperor's side for many years, he knew him quite well.

Your Majesty looked at Han Xin with great satisfaction.

In other words, Your Majesty was very satisfied with Han Xin's understanding of the war among the six nations.

Zhang Han looked at Han Xin again, it seemed that his judgment was wrong.

The fact that Han Xin can understand His Majesty with satisfaction is enough to show that he is not an ordinary person.

No wonder he could win Lin Xuan's praise. Now Zhang Han is somewhat convinced that Han Xin can be compared with Bai Qi and Wang Jian.

Fusu looked at the smile on the First Emperor's face and a smile also appeared on his face.

The First Emperor had just seen Han Xin's understanding of the war among the six nations. He had already read it yesterday.

It was because he had seen it that he had confidence in Han Xin and completely believed what his teacher said.

Today I came to the study to recommend Han Xin to my father, and let Han Xin replace General Meng Tian as the chief general on the border.

Ying Zheng looked at Han Xin and felt very satisfied.

He had already finished reading the contents of the memorial just now. Han Xin had a very detailed understanding of the war between the six countries.

Some of the decisions were consistent with what he was thinking at the time, especially the attack on the State of Chu.

Han Xin also mentioned the specific reasons for Li Xin's defeat in his memorial, which were all secrets.

It is impossible for the common people to know this, which is enough to show that Han Xin's understanding and judgment are very powerful.

There was also the war in which General Wang Jian led his troops to attack the State of Chu, and Han Xin once again gave his own understanding.

This coincides with the idea that Wang Jian had told him at the beginning, and this is definitely not something that can be achieved by just talking about it on paper.

This can only be achieved if you have a sufficient understanding of the battlefield and the soldiers.

If these thoughts were expressed to a battle-hardened general like Wang Jian, Ying Zheng would not be too surprised.

Han Xin in front of him had never been on the battlefield, but he had his own understanding based on the only information on the battlefield.

Such military capabilities are indeed impressive, no wonder Lin Xuan praised Han Xin so much.

He even said that Han Xin was comparable to Bai Qi and Wang Jian. Ying Zheng now felt that what Lin Xuan said made sense.

Ying Zheng was still very happy at this time, as the Qin Dynasty had gained such an outstanding general.

This is a good thing for Daqin.

"Han Xin, your understanding is very good. I am very happy after reading it."

"I agree with Lin Xuan's praise for you."

Ying Zheng looked at Han Xin and praised him with a smile on his face.
