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

Chapter 348 Han Xin gets Meng Tian's approval! Han Xin's plan!
Han Xin's words of praise for Meng Tian came from his heart, and he still had great respect for Meng Tian.

After staying on the border for many years, the Huns were unable to invade the territory of Qin.

He defeated the Huns twice, and also made great achievements during the conquest of the six kingdoms.

This made Han Xin feel a little respect for Meng Tian.

"General Han Xin, you are too polite. Only the bravery of our soldiers can defeat the Huns."

When Meng Tian heard Han Xin's words, a smile appeared on his face.

Meng Tian was very satisfied with the new commander who replaced him and was not arrogant at all.

After leaving the border, there is no need to worry that Han Xin will rely on his status as a commander to act arrogantly.

"General Han Xin, General Wang Ben, please!"

Meng Tian said this and walked in front to lead the way.

Han Xin and Wang Ben followed Meng Tian and walked towards the General's Mansion.

Deputy generals Gan Chong and others, as well as the deputy generals brought by Han Xin and Wang Ben, also gathered together to greet each other.

Take the food and replacement soldiers that have been transported, and arrange personnel to handle this matter.

Soon Meng Tian brought Han Xin and Wang Ben into the General's Mansion.

"General Han Xin, you are now the new commander of the border."

"Master, this position is for you to sit in."

Meng Tian looked at Han Xin, pointed to the main seat in the hall and asked Han Xin to sit there.

"Absolutely not. Brother Meng Tian, ​​please sit in the main seat."

Han Xin shook his head slightly when he heard Meng Tian's words. He didn't want to take over the reins as soon as he arrived.

Besides, it was just a seat, he didn't care.

"General Han Xin, just listen to General Meng Tian. You are the new commander-in-chief and this position is yours."

Wang Ben sat down and looked at Han Xin with a smile on his face.

"General Wang Ben is right."

Meng Tian sat opposite Wang Ben and gave up the position to the commander-in-chief.

Han Xin was very moved when he saw this scene. Wang Ben and Meng Tian were both famous generals with outstanding military achievements.

Although he was recommended by Prince Fusu and appointed as the chief general by His Majesty's decree.

However, Han Xin had no military achievements, which easily caused discussion in the army.

Wang Ben Meng Tian did not care about this and gave up the main seat.

Han Xin was deeply moved by this magnanimity.

Han Xin knew that only by making great achievements could he live up to these people's kindness.

Taking a deep breath, Han Xin sat in the main seat.

Seeing this scene, Meng Tian and Wang Ben smiled at each other, as the main generals on the border.

In their opinion, they must be decisive, otherwise they would be hesitant like those civil officials.

It is very likely that the opportunity to fight will be missed.

"There are only three of us here, so I will speak frankly."

"General Han Xin was recommended to Your Majesty by Prince Fusu. Prince Fusu has a good vision."

"I believe it, and my brother Meng Yi also sent me a letter."

"Meng Yi said in his letter that General Wang Jian and the Wang Ben brothers both praised General Han Xin."

"I want to know about General Han Xin's ability. This is also my responsibility as the commander-in-chief to the soldiers on the border."

"Please, General Han Xin, don't blame me for offending you."

Meng Tian looked at Han Xin and his expression turned serious.

As the commander-in-chief of the border, Meng Tian attached great importance to the selection of the new commander-in-chief.

If Wang Ben was the new commander, he would not have said what he just said.

However, the new commander was Han Xin, even with the recommendation of Prince Fusu and the praise of generals Wang Jian and Wang Ben.

Meng Tian still wanted to witness Han Xin's military capabilities in person, only then could he feel at ease to leave the border and return to Xianyang City.

If Han Xin's military ability could not gain his approval, Meng Tian would ask His Majesty to remove Han Xin from his position as commander-in-chief.

Wang Ben, who was sitting opposite Meng Tian, ​​had a helpless look on his face.

Having fought side by side with Meng Tian for many years, Wang Ben has a relatively good understanding of Meng Tian.

Meng Tian seems to have a gentle personality, but he is very principled.

Han Xin was very serious about the battlefield, and only Meng Tian recognized him.

Only then would Meng Tian agree to have Han Xin serve as the chief general. Otherwise, Meng Tian would write a letter to His Majesty to express his disagreement with having Han Xin serve as the chief general.

Wang Ben was well aware of the importance of Meng Tian in His Majesty's heart. If Meng Tian opposed His Majesty, His Majesty would most likely remove Han Xin from his post as the commander-in-chief.

When Han Xin heard Meng Tian's words, a smile appeared on his face.

He was not angry because of Meng Tian's words, on the contrary he was very happy.

In Han Xin's opinion, what Meng Tian just said was what a competent leader should think.

As a commander, you must have your own judgment and not trust a person's ability based on other people's evaluations.

If he were in Meng Tian's position, he would act the same way.

"I fully agree with what General Meng Tian said just now."

"I wonder how General Meng Tian wants to know about my military capabilities?"

Han Xin looked at Meng Tian and asked.

"When your majesty conquered the six kingdoms, many battles took place."

"General Han Xin, as the commander-in-chief, must have his own understanding of these battles."

"I want to hear General Han Xin's opinion on these battles."

Meng Tian looked at Han Xin, thought for a moment, and then expressed his thoughts.

Wang Ben on the side was stunned. He didn't expect Meng Tian to ask about the war among the six nations.

The reason why Han Xin impressed him and his father Wang Jian was that his views on the war among the six kingdoms were recognized by both of them.

"Brother Meng Tian, ​​your question is really a coincidence."

"Oh?"

"Brother Wang Ben, what do you mean by this?"

There was a hint of confusion on Meng Tian's face as he looked at Wang Ben.

Wang Ben looked at Meng Tian and smiled, "This is the letter Meng Yi gave you."

"I guess it was mentioned in the court that my father and I both supported General Han Xin as the commander-in-chief."

"The reason why I and my father support General Han Xin is precisely because of his views on the war between the six countries."

"General Han Xin has his own unique understanding of the war between the six countries."

"My father said that Han Xin's appearance has added a top commander to the Qin Dynasty."

As Wang Ben spoke, there was a hint of complexity on his face.

He was also a general who had experienced many battles and had made great military achievements.

He was even praised by His Majesty and the ministers, but unfortunately Wang Ben never received praise from his father Wang Jian.

When his father praised Han Xin that day, Wang Ben felt a little jealous.

However, Wang Ben also admired Han Xin's views on the war among the six nations.

Otherwise, he would not have agreed to let Han Xin serve as the chief general and himself as the deputy chief general.

"Oh?"

"Brother Wang Ben, since you said that, I am indeed interested."

As Meng Tian spoke, there was a hint of anticipation on his face.

General Wang Jian was the banner of the Qin army. He was unstoppable in his battles against the six kingdoms and in his attacks on enemy cities.

Xiang Yan, who was also a famous general, was defeated by General Wang Jian.

General Wang Jian praised Han Xin as a top commander, and Meng Tian felt a little dissatisfied and curious.

Han Xin, who was sitting in the main seat, had a hint of embarrassment on his face as Wang Ben praised him so much in front of him.

While Han Xin was happy, he still felt a little embarrassed. Not everyone can get praise from General Wang Jian.

Wang Ben looked at Han Xin and knew that Han Xin felt a little embarrassed because of what he had said.

"General Han Xin wrote a memorial on his views on the war between the six kingdoms."

"I also asked His Majesty to keep this memorial."

"This time when I came to the border, I brought this memorial with me to study in my spare time."

"Since General Meng Tian wants to know General Han Xin's opinion on the war between the six countries."

"Look at the memorial in my hand and you will get the result."

As Wang Ben spoke, he took out a memorial from his arms.

When Meng Tian saw the memorial in Wang Ben's hand, his eyes lit up and he hurried forward to take the memorial from Wang Ben.

Returning to his seat, Meng Tian watched carefully, and the whole hall became quiet.

Only the sound of Meng Tian flipping through memorials from time to time could be heard, and about half an hour passed.

Meng Tian closed the memorial with a hint of emotion on his face.

"No wonder General Wang Jian and Brother Wang Ben recommended General Han Xin as the commander-in-chief."

"I admire General Han Xin's views on the war between the six nations very much."

As Meng Tian spoke, he looked at Han Xin with a serious expression and saluted with his fists.

"General Meng Tian is too polite. Han Xin is just a paper strategist."

Han Xin looked at Meng Tian and quickly clasped his fists in return.

"General Han Xin is too modest. Your views on the war between the six countries are definitely not just theoretical."

"You can't come up with so many details or have so many unique understandings just by talking on paper."

As Meng Tian spoke, a look of emotion appeared on his face.

Meng Tian felt that Han Xin's opinions on every war in the memorial were excellent.

According to Han Xin's opinion, many wars can indeed reduce casualties among soldiers.

Meng Tian was not a narrow-minded person, and he agreed with Han Xin's opinion.

"After reading this memorial, I believe what General Wang Jian said. Great Qin has gained another top commander."

As Meng Tian spoke, there was a hint of admiration on his face.

He was not jealous of Han Xin's military ability, on the contrary he was very happy.

Three generations of the Meng family have been loyal to the Great Qin and to Your Majesty. The stronger the Great Qin becomes, the happier Meng Tian is.

When Wang Ben heard Meng Tian's words, a smile appeared on his face.

The Wang family was also very happy to see Han Xin had such military capabilities.

His father Wang Jian also advised him not to be jealous of Han Xin and to help Han Xin secure his position as the commander-in-chief on the border.

Even if his father hadn't said it, Wang Ben would have thought so too. The previous kings of the Qin Dynasty attached so much importance to their Wang family.

The only way for Wang Ben to repay His Majesty's kindness to their Wang family is to serve His Majesty.

Han Xin was still very moved when he heard Meng Tian's words.

Neither Wang Ben nor Meng Tian targeted him because he was the main general.

Han Xin admired His Majesty for his broad mind. He now fully understood why His Majesty was able to unify the six kingdoms.

Apart from the wisdom of His Majesty, there is no intrigue and unity among the generals.

This also made the Qin army invincible and the six countries were unable to resist at all.

"After I leave the border, the safety of the border will be handed over to General Han Xin and General Wang Ben."

"General Wang Ben, you will have to work hard. The soldiers on the border have fought many battles with the Huns, and the climate is harsh."

"This makes the border fighters more sturdy than ordinary fighters."

"You need to take more care to help General Han Xin secure his position as the commander-in-chief."

Meng Tian looked at Wang Ben and expressed his thoughts.

"Brother Meng Tian, ​​don't worry. There won't be any problem with Wang Ben's position as the commander-in-chief of General Han Xin."

"Besides, I believe in General Han Xin's ability and will soon convince the soldiers on the border."

As Wang Ben spoke, a smile appeared on his face.

When Meng Tian heard Wang Ben's words, he looked at Han Xin. He heard something wrong from Wang Ben's words.

"General Han Xin, do you have any ideas?"

Meng Tian looked at Han Xin and asked.

Han Xin glanced at Wang Ben, then looked at Meng Tian with a smile on his face: "There are only me and the two generals here."

"I did have an idea on my way to the border, an idea for the Huns."

Han Xin did not hide anything and expressed his thoughts to Meng Tian and Wang Ben.

"Against the Huns?"

"General Han Xin, tell me."

Meng Tian looked at Han Xin and motioned for Han Xin to continue.

"I am bringing a large army to the border this time, and the Xiongnu Chanyu will surely know the news."

"Once General Meng Tian leaves the border, the Xiongnu Chanyu will know that the commander-in-chief has been replaced at the border."

"My identity as the commander-in-chief will soon be known to the Xiongnu Chanyu."

"If the Xiongnu Chanyu saw that the new commander of the Qin Dynasty was a young man with no military experience,

"It is possible to think that the Qin Dynasty was proud of defeating the Xiongnu twice."

"Send someone who has no military experience as the commander-in-chief."

"In this case, the Xiongnu Chanyu will most likely come with a large army to attack the border cities."

"Once we capture it, we can not only invade the territory of Daqin, but also avenge our two defeats."

Han Xin looked at Meng Tian and Wang Ben and expressed his thoughts.

Meng Tian and Wang Ben pondered for a moment after hearing Han Xin's words. After a while, Wang Ben looked at Han Xin and said:

"General Han Xin is right. The Xiongnu Chanyu saw that the chief commander of the Qin border was replaced by a young man with no combat experience."

"It is indeed possible that he will bring the Hun army to attack the border cities for revenge."

Wang Ben agreed with Han Xin's idea just now.

"The Xiongnu Chanyu is also a smart man. The two defeats have made him alert."

"If the Xiongnu Chanyu thinks this is still a trap, he will not send a large army to attack the border cities of Daqin. At that time, General Han Xin, your idea will not be realized."

Meng Tian looked at Han Xin and expressed his thoughts.

He had fought with the Xiongnu Chanyu for so long that he had a relatively good understanding of him.

Han Xin nodded slightly when he heard Meng Tian's words, with a hint of smile on his face: "General Meng Tian is right."

"The Xiongnu Chanyu was defeated twice by General Meng Tian. He must have wondered if this was a trap."

"In that case, let's make this trap real, so that the Xiongnu Chanyu will think this is a chance for revenge."

There was a hint of coldness in Han Xin's eyes as he spoke. Passively defending the border was not his style.

This time he went to the border as the commander-in-chief. He not only had to defend the border but also had to defeat the Huns and make military achievements.

Only in this way will he not let down Lin Xuan's kindness in recommending him to Fusu, and His Majesty will be more satisfied with Prince Fusu.

Han Xin was well aware that there were still many ministers in the court who doubted his abilities.

He is now also a member supporting Prince Fusu, and the more military exploits he has made on the border.

The more recognition Prince Fusu gains in the court, the more ministers will no longer doubt his abilities.

Wang Ben and Meng Tian looked at each other, then looked at Han Xin who was sitting in the main seat.

"General Han Xin, how do you want to make the trap more realistic?"

Meng Tian looked at Han Xin and asked.

Wang Ben nodded slightly when he heard Meng Tian's words. What Meng Tian just said was exactly what he wanted to say.

He also wanted to know how Han Xin, who had just taken over as commander-in-chief, could make the trap become realistic.
