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

Chapter 338 Han Xin becomes the border commander! The morning court is coming, and Fusu has something to report!
When Han Xin heard what the First Emperor said, his face showed excitement.

The uneasy heart just now turned into an excited heart.

His views on the war among the six states were appreciated by the First Emperor.

This was a great encouragement to Han Xin, and the First Emperor recognized his ability.

"I am Han Xin, thank you for your praise, Your Majesty."

Han Xin faced the First Emperor and bowed.

The more Ying Zheng looked at Han Xin, the more satisfied he felt.

Han Xin was so young, yet he had such military ability.

Han Xin's future development is limitless. Thinking of this, Lin Xuan's figure emerged in Ying Zheng's mind.

"Lin Xuan has once again helped me get a talent. I have to thank Lin Xuan."

"I got some fine jewelry a while ago. Fusu, when you return to the mansion, take this jewelry back and give it to Lin Xuan."

"Tell Lin Xuan that this is the reward I give him to thank him for recommending Han Xin."

Ying Zheng looked at Fusu beside him and expressed his thoughts.

"I, your son, would like to thank you for your reward. I will tell you everything your father said."

Fusu said this with a smile on his face, his father had already recognized Han Xin's ability.

There was also praise and reward for the teacher, which made Fusu very happy.

"Meng Tian has returned to Xianyang City from the border. During this period of time, you, Han Xin, will replace Meng Tian as the chief general on the border."

"I believe you can be a good commander on the border and will not disappoint me and Lin Xuan and Fusu who recommended you."

Ying Zheng looked at Han Xin and decided to let Han Xin replace Meng Tian as the chief general on the border.

Zhang Han, who was standing aside, had a look of surprise on his face. He was already shocked by the emperor's praise of Han Xin just now.

The Qin Dynasty has many outstanding generals, but Your Majesty has praised very few other generals as much as he praised Han Xin.

Han Xin rose from a commoner without an official position to become a commander-in-chief on the border.

Once this news gets out, it will definitely cause a huge sensation.

Zhang Han was also a military general, and he looked at Han Xin with great envy.

When Han Xin heard what the First Emperor said, his face became stiff and his eyes widened as he stood there in a daze.

Han Xin quickly responded and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, thank you for entrusting me with this important task."

"Han Xin will definitely guard the border and prevent the Xiongnu from entering the Qin territory to repay your majesty's kindness."

Han Xin knelt on the ground with excitement on his face.

In just a few days, he went from being a commoner who fished to fill his stomach to becoming the commander of the border army.

The opportunity he had been thinking about for a long time finally came to him.

From now on, he is the commander-in-chief of the Qin border, and tens of thousands of troops must obey his orders.

Han Xin was very excited and determined to perform well.

We must not let down the recommendations of Lin Xuan and Prince Fusu, nor must we let down the important task entrusted to us by Your Majesty.

"Get up!"

"I will issue an order tomorrow morning to appoint you as the commander-in-chief of the border."

"By then, all the ministers in the court will know about this matter, and you will encounter some pressure."

"Lin Xuan is so optimistic about you. I believe that these pressures are nothing to you."

Ying Zheng looked at Han Xin and a smile appeared on his face.

Han Xin was stunned for a moment when he heard what the First Emperor said, but he quickly reacted and nodded slightly.

A commoner suddenly became the commander-in-chief of the border, and the ministers in the court knew about it.

You will inevitably be jealous of yourself and you will also encounter some resistance.

Han Xin took a deep breath and was ready to deal with it.

If he cannot withstand the pressure brought by these ministers, how can he lead tens of thousands of soldiers to guard the border?

"Your Majesty, Han Xin has no military experience after all."

"Even if Han Xin becomes the commander of the border, I am worried that the soldiers on the border will be dissatisfied with him."

"Teacher Lin Xuan believes that we should send a deputy commander to accompany Han Xin to the border."

"After Han Xin had worked with the soldiers on the border for a while, he had the dignity of a commander."

"The border is completely clean, there are no problems at all."

Fusu looked at the First Emperor and told him what his teacher Lin Xuan had told him.

Ying Zheng nodded slightly after hearing Fusu's words, "What Lin Xuan said makes sense."

"Those soldiers on the border have been fighting the Huns for years, and their style is fierce."

"A general like Meng Tian, ​​who has been through hundreds of battles and has made many outstanding achievements, can naturally calm these soldiers."

"It is indeed difficult for Han Xin to control these soldiers in a short period of time. I agree with Lin Xuan's proposal."

"Appoint a military commander as deputy commander and send him to the border with Han Xin."

"Fusu, which general do you think can serve as the deputy commander?"

Ying Zheng looked at Fusu and asked about the candidate for deputy commander.

"The deputy commander must be a military commander with prestige in the army. Teacher told me that General Wang Ben can be the deputy commander."

"General Wang Ben has made great achievements in battle, and the soldiers in the army admire him."

"With General Wang Ben by Han Xin's side, I believe that Han Xin will be able to secure his position as the chief general in no time."

Fusu looked at the First Emperor and told him about Lin Xuan's idea of ​​recommending Wang Ben.

When Ying Zheng heard Fusu's words, his eyes lit up before Fusu recommended Han Xin.

Ying Zheng planned to let Wang Ben replace Meng Tian and become the chief general on the border.

Now that Wang Ben is appointed as deputy commander, there will naturally be no problem in assisting Han Xin at the border.

Ying Zheng suddenly noticed from the corner of his eye that Zhang Han had a conflicted look on his face.

"Zhang Han, this is not Qilin Palace. If you have anything to say, just say it."

Ying Zheng looked at Zhang Han who was standing beside him.

Zhang Han, who looked tangled, quickly spoke up when he heard the words of the First Emperor:

"General Wang Ben is indeed the best candidate for the deputy commander, but I am worried that General Wang Ben will not be convinced that Han Xin will become the commander."

"General Wang Ben made great contributions during the conquest of the six kingdoms. Together with his father, General Wang Jian, they destroyed five kingdoms."

"General Wang Ben has a high reputation in the army. I am worried that General Wang Ben and Han Xin will have a conflict because of this."

Zhang Han looked at the First Emperor and expressed his thoughts.

As a military general, Zhang Han understands military generals best. Most of them have a common problem.

That is, no one is willing to submit to anyone else, and General Wang Ben has made great military achievements.

His father was Wang Jian, the commander-in-chief of the Qin Dynasty. All the ministers in the court would give Wang Ben some face when they saw him.

In the army, the soldiers wanted to become generals like Wang Ben.

Now Wang Ben, who has such outstanding military achievements, becomes Han Xin's deputy who has no military experience.

Even if His Majesty issued an edict, Wang Ben might still feel dissatisfied.

This makes it more difficult for Your Majesty and Prince Fusu to ask Wang Ben to help Han Xin gain a foothold on the border.

When Han Xin heard Zhang Han's words, a bitter smile appeared on his face, although he was not an official in the Qin Dynasty.

He had some understanding of these things, and he felt that what Zhang Han said was right.

If he were Wang Ben, he would also be dissatisfied as he became the deputy of a commander who had no military experience.

Ying Zheng frowned slightly when he heard Zhang Han's words. Zhang Han's words reminded him.

It is true that there might be some complaints about Wang Ben becoming Han Xin's deputy general.

Ying Zheng noticed Fusu's indifferent expression from the corner of his eye. "Fusu, what do you think about Wang Ben's incident?"

When Zhang Han and Han Xin heard what the First Emperor said, they also looked at Fusu.

Fusu bowed and saluted when he heard the words of the First Emperor, "I report to you, Father!"

"I have also asked the teacher about what General Zhang Han mentioned just now."

"Teacher has already told me how to make Wang Ben willingly assist Han Xin."

"Oh?"

"Lin Xuan told you a way? Tell me!"

When Ying Zheng heard Fusu mention Lin Xuan, he became interested. "Teacher asked me to tell my father that the imperial edict appointing Wang Ben as the deputy commander of the border was delivered to the Wang family."

"Send Han Xin's views on the war between the six kingdoms to the Wang family."

"Let General Wang Jian and General Wang Ben, the father and son, read Han Xin's opinion."

"Generals Wang Jian and Wang Ben are both famous generals who have experienced many battles and have personally experienced the conquest of the six kingdoms."

"Having read Han Xin's views on the war between the six kingdoms, General Wang Ben will naturally not be dissatisfied with Han Xin."

Fusu looked at the First Emperor and told him the method his teacher had told him.

When Ying Zheng heard Fusu's words, his eyes lit up. He had just personally read Han Xin's views on the war among the six nations.

It was for this reason that he appointed Han Xin as the chief general on the border.

It is indeed a good idea to let the Wang father and son also understand Han Xin's opinion.

"Lin Xuan is really amazing. He solved a difficult problem so easily."

"In that case, I will send someone to deliver the imperial edict and Han Xin's views on the war between the six countries to the Wang family."

"I will issue an edict tomorrow morning to appoint Han Xin and Wang Ben as the chief and deputy commanders of the border."

Ying Zheng looked at several people and made the decision.

Outside the Qilin Hall, the ministers stood outside the hall waiting to enter the Qilin Hall.

Everyone's eyes turned to a minister, who was none other than General Wang Jian, the commander-in-chief of the Qin Dynasty.

General Wang Jian is old, and Your Majesty has ordered that he does not need to attend the morning court.

General Wang Jian came to court today, so something big must have happened.

Many ministers were nervous, not knowing what would happen at the morning court session today.

"Hundred officials enter the palace!"

Following the eunuch's loud shout, everyone slowly walked into the Qilin Hall.

Entering the Qilin Hall, everyone knelt and sat in their seats.

Fusu is the only one left in the first row, and General Wang Jian is in the first position in the second row.

Everyone sat down, and a few ministers chatted in low voices.

"Your Majesty is here!"

Hearing the eunuch's voice, everyone sat up straight.

The First Emperor was seen walking into the Qilin Hall wearing a black dragon robe, with the Emperor's sword on his waist and a smile on his face.

He walked to the dragon throne with a domineering step and sat down.

"See Your Majesty!"

"Everyone loves you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

When everyone heard what the First Emperor said, they knelt down again.

Ying Zheng sat on the dragon throne and looked at everyone in the hall. When he saw Wang Jian in the second row.

His gaze paused for a moment. It was beyond Ying Zheng's expectation that Wang Jian could come to court today.

Wang Jian also noticed the First Emperor's gaze and quickly bowed in greeting.

"My dear ministers, what do you want to report today?"

After looking at everyone, Ying Zheng's voice with a hint of dominance lingered in everyone's ears.

Everyone looked at each other, and no minister stood up to speak.

"Father, I have something to report!"

Everyone looked at the person who spoke, and it was Prince Fusu.

When they saw Fusu stand up, many ministers felt uneasy.

When Fusu reported something before, Chunyu Yue, Xu Fu, Hu Hai, Zhao Gao and others were all punished.

Some ministers thought that Fusu might impeach another minister today.

Everyone looked at Fusu, not daring to move their gaze.

"Fusu, what's the matter?"

Ying Zheng looked at Fusu with a smile on his face.

"Reporting to the Emperor, the Xiongnu on the border have defeated the cities twice and are temporarily unable to attack the border."

"There is no crisis at the border for the time being. The soldiers guarding the border have been away from home for many years."

"He fought against the Huns and made great contributions to the Qin Dynasty."

"I beg you, father, to allow these soldiers to return home and reunite with their families."

"The positions left vacant by these soldiers can be filled by selecting soldiers from Xianyang City."

Fusu looked at the First Emperor and repeated what he had said in the study.

The ministers of Xudu in the palace were relieved when they heard Fusu's words. They thought Fusu was going to impeach another minister.

Now it seems that they were overthinking it. Fusu just wanted the soldiers on the border to be reunited with their families.

"I second Master Fusu's proposal. Doing so will make the soldiers grateful for your majesty's gift."

"I second the proposal!"

"I second the proposal!"

Several more ministers stood up and agreed with Fusu's proposal.

After all, this is a good thing for the soldiers.

"I am very pleased that Fusu can understand the difficulties faced by soldiers at the border."

"Li Si, you will draft an imperial decree on my behalf. All soldiers on the border who want to reunite with their families can return home."

"The vacant positions will be filled by soldiers from Xianyang City."

Ying Zheng nodded slightly and looked at Li Si who was kneeling in the hall.

"promise!"

Li Si stood up and bowed.

"Father, General Meng Tian has been stationed at the border for many years."

"I think we should take this opportunity to let General Meng Tian return to Xianyang City and reunite with the Meng family."

Li Si sat down, and Fusu mentioned Meng Tian again.

Meng Yi, who was sitting next to Wang Jian, was stunned when he heard Fusu's words.

Meng Yi quickly reacted with excitement on his face. His brother Meng Tian had been away from Xianyang City for many years.

Not only his younger brother, but other members of the Meng family also missed their elder brother Meng Tian.

The conversations between Meng Yi and Meng Tian were also limited to letters.

But the border is far away from Xianyang City, and it takes a long time for a letter to be delivered.

The Huns were defeated for the second time and the border crisis was resolved.

Meng Yi thought about asking the Emperor to allow his brother to go to Xianyang City to recuperate for a period of time.

This idea was quickly rejected by him, as His Majesty valued the Meng family very much.

He, his brother Meng Tian, ​​and other members of the Meng family were entrusted with important tasks.

The only way for the Meng family to live up to His Majesty's trust is to do well in the tasks assigned by His Majesty.

Meng Yi could only suppress this thought in his heart.

Now that Prince Fusu mentioned this matter, Meng Yi felt very excited but also nervous.

In his heart, he hoped that His Majesty would agree to let his brother Meng Tian return to Xianyang City.

However, his brother is the commander-in-chief at the border. If he wants to return to Xianyang City from the border, a new commander-in-chief must replace his brother.

Some ministers showed a hint of surprise on their faces when they heard Fusu's words, but soon everyone regained their composure.

The Meng family supports Prince Fusu, so it is normal for Prince Fusu to want General Meng Tian to rest for some time.

"General Meng Tian has guarded the border for many years and has made great contributions. I think it is time for General Meng Tian to return to Xianyang City to recuperate and reunite with his family."

"I second the proposal!"

"I second the proposal!"

Several ministers who had just supported Fusu stood up again to support Fusu.

Meng Tian had no conflict with them when he returned to Xianyang City, so it was a good choice for him to stand up and support Prince Fusu.
