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

Chapter 347 Who is Han Xin? Meng Tian is shocked! Han Xin and Wang Ben lead the army to the border!

When Fusu heard what his teacher Lin Xuan said, his frown finally relaxed.

He was too worried just now and forgot a lot of details.

It was he who recommended Han Xin to his father, the emperor, who personally issued an edict appointing Han Xin as the chief general on the border.

Meng Tian really doesn't know how to make things difficult for Han Xin.

Thinking of this, Fusu smiled and said, "I haven't seen General Meng Tian for a long time."

"I really want to have a drink with General Meng Tian."

When Lin Xuan heard Fusu's words, a smile appeared on his face.

The relationship between the Meng family and Fusu is indeed very good, and it is a good thing to have the Meng family support Fusu.

On the border of Da Qin, the General’s Mansion!
In the hall, Meng Tian sat in the main seat, with several deputy generals standing on both sides.

Several deputy generals looked at Meng Tian, ​​who was looking carefully at the letter in his hand.

"Hahaha!"

Meng Tian, ​​looking at the letter, suddenly burst into laughter.

Several deputy generals in the hall looked at each other with confusion on their faces. They rarely saw General Meng Tian laugh so hard.

The last time he laughed like this was when he defeated the Huns for the second time.

"General, what good news did Lord Meng Yi write in the letter?"

Gan Chong, the first deputy general under Meng Tian, ​​looked at Meng Tian and asked the first question.

Several other deputy generals also looked at Meng Tian. They all knew the letter in General Meng Tian's hand.

It was Lord Meng Yi in Xianyang City who sent someone to deliver it at full speed.

When Meng Tian heard Gan Chong's words, he smiled and said, "We have defeated the Xiongnu twice on the border."

"The Xiongnu will not be able to attack the border cities in the short term, and there is almost no threat to the border."

"Prince Fusu requests that His Majesty allow you, the deputy generals and the soldiers who want to go home, to leave the border and return home to reunite with your families."

"Your Majesty has agreed to Prince Fusu's request and has ordered the transfer of deputy generals and soldiers from the Qin territory."

"Replacing your lieutenants and the soldiers who are going home, do you think this is a good thing?"

Meng Tian looked at several deputy generals under his command and told them what was written in Meng Yi's letter.

Gan Chong and several deputy generals were stunned when they heard Meng Tian's words.

They quickly reacted with excitement on their faces. They had been following General Meng Tian to the border.

I never met my family again, and we only exchanged letters occasionally.

Now His Majesty has issued an order allowing them to go back and reunite with their families, which is great news for them.

What’s more important is that this time they returned, it can be said that they returned in triumph.

After all, they had defeated the Huns twice on the border and were returning home victorious.

"Your Majesty and Prince Fusu are so considerate of us soldiers. It is our blessing."

"Prince Fusu cares so much about us, it really warms the hearts of the soldiers."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace and thank you, Young Master, for your request."

Several deputy generals spoke up to express their gratitude to His Majesty and Prince Fusu.

When Meng Tian saw the deputy generals with happy faces, he was also very happy.

These deputy generals have followed him in battle for many years, and now they can return home with glory and victory. As the main general, he is naturally very happy.

"General, His Majesty has issued an order to allow us, the lieutenants and soldiers, to go back and reunite with our families."

"General, will you go back to reunite with your family this time?"

Gan Chong looked at Meng Tian and asked.

"Yes, General, you haven't been reunited with your family for a long time."

"Lord Meng Yi often writes to you. I believe he misses you very much."

Several other deputy generals looked at Meng Tian and asked questions.

They were all Meng Tian's confidants, so they naturally spoke more casually when there were no outsiders around.

Hearing the concern of several confidants, Meng Tian felt warm in his heart and said, "This time, not only will you go back to reunite with your family."

"Prince Fusu also asked His Majesty to allow this general to return to Xianyang City to reunite with his family."

"Your Majesty also agreed to Prince Fusu's request and issued an order to allow this general to return to Xianyang City to reunite with his family."

As Meng Tian spoke, he felt a little excited.

He hadn't seen his younger brother Meng Yi for a long time and met Meng Fang at the border not long ago.

This made Meng Tian miss his family in Xianyang City even more.

Now he can also return to Xianyang City and meet his family. Meng Tian is very excited.

What's more, this time he returned to Xianyang City with two great victories over the Huns, which also earned enough face for the Meng family.

"It's great news that the general can go home too."

"Your Majesty and the Young Master are sympathetic to the general, and we, the deputy generals, are also very happy."

"The general is deeply trusted by His Majesty and the young master, so naturally the general's name must be mentioned when he returns home this time."

When several deputy generals heard Meng Tian say that they could also go home, their worries disappeared.

Gan Chong frowned slightly when he heard Meng Tian's words, "The general will go to Xianyang City to reunite with his family."

"It is impossible to return to the border in a short period of time. As a result, the border is missing a commander."

"I believe Your Majesty has also thought about this matter. I wonder which general Your Majesty will send to serve as the commander?"

Gan Chong looked at Meng Tian and expressed his thoughts.

The other deputy generals were stunned when they heard Gan Chong’s words, but they quickly reacted and nodded slightly.

"Brother Gan is right. When the general returns to Xianyang City, there will naturally be a new commander to replace General Meng Tian."

"I think the one who should replace the general as the chief commander should be General Li Xin."

"General Zhang Han has been by your majesty's side for many years. This time it should be General Zhang Han who will replace you as the commander-in-chief of the border."

"The position of Border Commander is so important, Your Majesty will definitely send General Wang Ben as the commander."

Several deputy generals expressed their ideas for the candidate for the chief general.

Li Xin, Zhang Han, Wang Ben and others have all been mentioned. These generals were all famous generals of their generation.

As members of the army themselves, they all admire these generals very much.

After hearing Gan Chong's words, Meng Tian looked again at the new letter that Meng Yi had given him.

After reading the contents of the letter, Meng Tian's face turned stiff.

Gan Chong did not join the other deputy generals in guessing the candidate for the commander-in-chief, and his eyes were always on Meng Tian.

He noticed that General Meng Tian's expression changed after reading the letter.

Gan Chong knew in his heart that the letter written by Lord Meng Yi to General Meng Tian must be extraordinary.

"Cough cough!"

After a while, Meng Tian reacted and coughed twice, interrupting several deputy generals who were still guessing who would be the commander-in-chief.

Several deputy generals stopped talking and looked at Meng Tian.

"Meng Yi wrote down the candidate for the commander-in-chief in the letter. This time, His Majesty will not only send a new commander-in-chief."

"We have also added a position for a deputy commander. Some of you just guessed that General Wang Ben would come to the border."

"Your Majesty did issue an order for Wang Ben to come to the border."

"It's just that this time, General Wang Ben is going to the border as the deputy commander."

"Your Majesty has chosen another person as the commander-in-chief."

Meng Tian looked at several deputy generals and told them the contents of Meng Yi's letter.

Several deputy generals, including Gan Chong, were stunned when they heard that Wang Ben was only the deputy commander.

General Wang Ben's reputation in the army is in no way inferior to that of General Meng Tian.

General Wang Ben's battle record was even more outstanding.

He made many military achievements during the conquest of the six kingdoms.

Among the Qin generals, there is only one who can surpass General Wang Ben in military exploits and reputation.

There was only his father, General Wang Jian, the leader of the Qin military generals.

"General Wang Ben is so outstanding, but he is only the deputy commander. Could it be that the commander is General Wang Ben's father, General Wang Jian?"

"The commander-in-chief will definitely not be General Wang Jian, as he is already old."

"The climate at the border is harsh, and your majesty will not allow General Wang Jian to go to the border." "Except for General Wang Jian to be the chief general, I can't think of anyone who can surpass General Wang Ben to become the chief general."

Several people expressed their ideas one after another, but they couldn't figure out who the commander would be.

Meng Tian looked at the confused faces of several of his deputy generals and said, "This time, your majesty sent the main general to the border."

"His name is Han Xin. He was recommended to Your Majesty by Prince Fusu."

"Your Majesty has agreed to Prince Fusu's request and appointed Han Xin as the new commander-in-chief and Wang Ben as the deputy commander-in-chief."

Meng Tian looked at several deputy generals and said the name of the main general Han Xin.

When several deputy generals heard Meng Tian's words, they looked at each other in confusion. They had never heard of a general named Han Xin in the Qin Dynasty.

"The new commander is called Han Xin? It seems that there is no commander named Han Xin in the Qin Dynasty!"

"Whose family does Han Xin belong to?"

Several deputy generals expressed their ideas one after another.

"Don't guess, there is no general named Han Xin in the Qin Dynasty."

"This man has no military experience."

Meng Tian looked at several deputy generals and revealed Han Xin's identity.

When several deputy generals heard Meng Tian's words, their faces looked a little ugly, as they were the new commanders of the border.

He has no military experience at all. How can such a commander lead the army to fight against the Huns?
The Huns were defeated twice and had no way to attack the border of Qin in a short period of time.

If the Xiongnu's Chanyu knew that the new commander of the Qin Dynasty was a man with no military experience, he would be very disappointed.

It is very likely that he would take a gamble and use the new commander's weakness to attack the cities on the border of the Qin Dynasty.

"General, I think it is better to write a memorial to His Majesty."

"It would be safer to choose a new commander who has fought on the battlefield for many years."

Gan Chong looked at Meng Tian and expressed his thoughts.

"Brother Gan is right. The person nominated by Prince Fusu will certainly not be bad."

"It's just that Han Xin has no military experience, so it would be better for him to start as a soldier and gain experience."

"The border is related to the safety of the Qin Empire. The position of the commander is very important."

Several deputy generals looked at Meng Tian and tried to dissuade him in a tactful way.

If Han Xin had not been recommended to Your Majesty by Fusu, several deputy generals would even have thought that Han Xin became the chief general through connections.

The deputy generals all admired Fusu's character. Han Xin was definitely capable, but he was not suitable to be the main general on the border now.

Meng Tian heard what the deputy generals said and said, "The deputy commander, General Wang Ben, is also heading to the border this time."

"With General Wang Ben here, there will be no problem even if Han Xin has no experience at the border."

"Meng Yi said in the letter that General Wang Jian and General Wang Ben praised Han Xin in the Qilin Hall."

"This is enough to show that Han Xin's military ability is quite good."

"What's more, Han Xin and Wang Ben have already left Xianyang City and headed for the border with their large army."

"We will probably reach the border soon, and then I will talk to Han Xin in person."

"If Han Xin is not suitable to be the commander-in-chief who is concerned about the border, I will meet with Your Majesty and mention this matter when I return to Xianyang City."

Meng Tian looked at several of his deputy generals and expressed his thoughts.

Several deputy generals nodded slightly when they heard Meng Tian's words. They were relieved that General Meng Tian attached great importance to this matter.

This is the first time that a person with no military experience is appointed as the border commander.

As deputy generals, they naturally had some doubts in their hearts.

"Report!"

"General, there is a lot of smoke and dust not far behind us."

A soldier walked into the general's mansion, looked at Meng Tian and saluted with his fists.

"Oh?"

"There's a lot of smoke and dust in the back? It must be caused by a large number of people and horses."

"At this time, a large number of troops appeared in the rear. It must be Han Xin and Wang Ben who brought a large army to the border."

"Generals, follow me to the city wall!"

Meng Tian said this and stood up and walked out of the general's mansion.

Several deputy generals turned around and followed Meng Tian out of the general's mansion.

Meng Tian and several deputy generals walked up to the rear city wall and saw thick smoke in the distance outside the city.

The soldiers on the city wall had serious expressions on their faces, their eyes looking straight ahead and preparing for battle.

Several deputy generals behind Meng Tian were also ready to draw their swords and fight at any time.

After all, a large army is attacking, so we still have to be vigilant.

Soon, Meng Tian and others standing on the city wall saw a large number of troops rushing out from the smoke and dust.

Soon these troops arrived at the foot of the city wall, and Meng Tian stood on the wall.

Wang Ben was seen, and there was a young man next to him.

Meng Tian immediately understood that this young man was Han Xin.

"Generals Han Xin and Wang Ben have arrived at the border with their troops. Quickly open the city gates and let the brothers in."

"promise!"

When Gan Chong heard Meng Tian's words, he turned around, walked down the city wall and told the soldiers guarding the city gate to open it.

"Squeak!"

The heavy city gate was slowly pushed open by the soldiers.

Han Xin and Wang Ben looked at the open city gate with a hint of smile on their tired faces.

This time, we brought a lot of food and fodder to the border in order to avoid rainy days.

Han Xin and Wang Ben led the army to the border with little rest along the way.

Now the border is right in front of us and it’s not raining.

It is also good news that there was no loss of food and fodder brought with us.

"Hahaha!"

"Brother Wang Ben, long time no see!"

Meng Tian walked out of the city gate, came in front of Wang Ben, and the two of them gave each other a big hug.

Although the Wang family and the Meng family are both military families, their relationship is still very harmonious.

When conquering the six kingdoms, Wang Ben and Meng Tian fought side by side.

The two of them have a very good relationship, so they are naturally very happy to meet each other now.

"Brother Meng Tian, ​​I believe Meng Yi has already written to you."

"The man next to me is your replacement, Han Xin."

"This is the imperial decree from His Majesty."

As Wang Ben spoke, he took out the imperial edict from his arms and handed it to Meng Tian.

"The minister accepts the order!"

Meng Tian knelt down worriedly and took the imperial edict from Wang Ben with both hands.

The deputy generals and soldiers behind Meng Tian all knelt on one knee.

After receiving the imperial edict, Meng Tian stood up, and the deputy generals and soldiers behind him slowly stood up.

Meng Tian opened the imperial edict and quickly read its contents.

After closing the imperial edict and handing it to Gan Chong behind him, Meng Tian looked at Han Xin and smiled:
"General Han Xin, thank you for your hard work!"

The deputy generals and soldiers behind Meng Tian all looked at the young man next to Wang Ben.

This young man is Han Xin, the new commander of the border.

"General Meng Tian, ​​you are too polite. If we are talking about hard work, it is you and the soldiers who have done the hard work."

“Not only against the Huns, but also against the harsh weather.”

"Under such circumstances, General Meng Tian led his soldiers to defeat the Huns twice."

"Han Xin admired the general and soldiers for making the Huns unable to attack the border!"

Han Xin dismounted and looked towards Meng Tian and bowed.
