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

Chapter 421 Conversation between Han Xin and Wang Ben! The Imperial Edict Arrives!
"Please go back to the mansion and tell the master that my three brothers know about it."

Meng Tian looked at Fusu and expressed his thoughts.

"Don't worry, my three brothers. I will tell the teacher when I get back."

"I still have things to do, so I won't disturb you three brothers from drinking."

Fusu said this and stood up and left the hall.

He came to the Meng family to meet the three brothers today to make things clear.

"My three brothers will escort you!"

Meng Tian took Meng Yi and Meng Fang with him to see Fusu off from the mansion.

Seeing Fusu leaving in a carriage, the three of them returned to the hall again.

“I didn’t expect that the position of a border commander would have such serious consequences.”

"Fortunately, Mr. Lin Xuan opposed Master Fusu's recommendation of my third brother, otherwise our Meng family would be even more envied by those ministers."

Meng Yi drank the wine with a hint of emotion on his face.

Meng Fang nodded slightly when he heard Meng Yi's words, and a cold sweat broke out on the back of his neck when he knew the truth.

He is no longer thinking about the border commander's affairs. The Meng family is the most important to him.

"Second brother, third brother, the affairs of the mansion have always been managed by the two of you."

"You two must control your clansmen and don't cause trouble in Xianyang City."

"If any member of the clan causes trouble for the Meng family, I will expel him from the Meng family."

Meng Tian looked at Meng Yi and Meng Fang, and his expression turned serious.

Fusu's words today reminded him that if the Meng family did not want to be attacked by other ministers, they must pay more attention.

"Don't worry, big brother. My third brother and I know what to do."

Meng Yi looked at Meng Tian with a hint of confidence on his face.

He and Meng Fang have been managing the family over the years, and Meng Yi is still confident in this point.

"Now that I think about it, it's also a good thing for our Meng family that Master Fusu has the help of Mr. Lin Xuan."

"Second brother, third brother, don't forget about the wine."

"I've prepared some fine wine. Let Yun'er deliver it."

Meng Tian looked at Meng Yi and spoke.

"Don't worry, big brother. I understand!"

Meng Yi said with a smile on his face.

Daqin, the border city!
In the hall of the general's mansion, Han Xin sat in the main seat and Wang Ben sat on Han Xin's left.

The two of them were drinking fine wine with a smile on their faces.

"Brother Han Xin, since the Huns were driven out of the plains, the border has been completely quiet."

Wang Ben drank the wine with a smile on his face.

Han Xin also smiled when he heard Wang Ben's words, "It would be better if it were quieter."

"This proves that there is no war on the border, and the soldiers no longer have to go out of the city to fight the enemy."

Wang Ben nodded slightly when he heard Han Xin's words. As a military general, he naturally hoped to win the battle and make military achievements.

But it is better to avoid war if possible. After all, there will be casualties in every war.

"Brother Wang Ben, how are the city's defense arrangements?"

Han Xin looked at Wang Ben and asked.

"Brother Han Xin, don't worry, even if the Huns are driven out of the plains."

"Wang Ben has not let down his guard either. The defense of the city remains as strict as usual."

"Just reduce the number of soldiers on guard. This will allow the soldiers to have more rest and reduce food consumption."

Wang Ben looked at Han Xin and told him his arrangements.

Han Xin nodded slightly when he heard Wang Ben's words. He was very satisfied with Wang Ben's approach.

It not only keeps them alert, but also allows the soldiers to have more rest and reduces food consumption.

"It has been a while since we came to the border. Brother Han Xin must want to return to Xianyang City."

Wang Ben looked at Han Xin and a smile appeared on his face.

"This is also the first time for me to lead a general in a battle, and I really miss Xiangyang City."

"Brother Wang Ben, you have been through hundreds of battles, and I'm sure you can't forget the city of Xianyang, right?" Han Xin looked at Wang Ben with a smile on his face.

Wang Ben was stunned for a moment when he heard Han Xin's words, but he quickly reacted and said, "Brother Han Xin is right."

"Even though I have been away from Xianyang City for many battles, I still miss my family in Xianyang City."

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

"Report!"

"General, an imperial edict has been sent from Xianyang City!"

A soldier hurried into the hall holding an imperial edict.

Han Xin and Wang Ben looked at the imperial edict in the soldier's hand, and hurriedly stood up and walked to the edict.

After kneeling on one knee and clasping their fists in salute, the two stood up.

Han Xin took the imperial edict from the soldier and opened it with a serious look to read its contents.

Wang Ben stood aside and did not disturb Han Xin who was reading the imperial edict.

Wang Ben looked at Han Xin and found a smile on Han Xin's face.

This means that the imperial edict sent by His Majesty is naturally good news.

"Brother Han Xin, what did the imperial edict say?"

Wang Ben looked at Han Xin and asked.

When Han Xin heard Wang Ben's words, he turned to look at Wang Ben and said, "Just now we two mentioned Xianyang City."

"The imperial edict sent by His Majesty states that you and I should return to Xianyang City to recuperate."

"His Majesty will send a new commander to replace you and me."

"Brother Wang Ben, you and I can go home now."

Han Xin said this with a hint of excitement on his face.

Wang Ben was stunned for a moment when he heard Han Xin's words, but he quickly reacted and smiled:
"Hahaha!"

"It's really good news. I can finally go home."

As Wang Ben spoke, there was excitement on his face.

"For the good news."

"Dry!"

Han Xin and Wang Ben raised their wine cups and drank them all in one gulp.

After the two drank the wine, Wang Ben looked at Han Xin and said, "Since the imperial edict states that a new commander will be sent to the border."

"I wonder which general your majesty will send to the border to serve as the chief commander?"

After hearing what Wang Ben said, Han Xin drank another glass of wine and said, "Brother Wang Ben, why don't you guess which general the emperor will appoint as the commander?"

When Wang Ben heard Han Xin's words, he lowered his head in thought and quickly looked up at Han Xin: "Meng Tian has won several major victories in a row."

"Besides, Meng Tian originally returned to Xianyang City from the border, so His Majesty will not send Meng Tian to serve as the new commander."

"In addition to Meng Tian, ​​Zhang Han, Li Xin and other generals are also possible."

"Meng Fang is also a possibility, although Meng Fang is no longer a military commander."

"But Meng has been in the army for many years, and there is no crisis on the border."

"Meng Fang also likes the life in the army. If Meng Fang can beg Prince Fusu."

"Based on the relationship between Prince Fusu and the Meng family, I guess your majesty will appoint Meng Fang as the commander-in-chief."

Wang Ben looked at Han Xin and expressed his guess that the last time the Huns were driven out of the plains.

Wang Ben saw Meng Fang's performance. Meng Fang was still so brave even when he rushed into the Huns' lair.

The Huns couldn't get close to Meng Fang at all, and Wang Ben knew very well that Meng Fang could not forget his life in the army.

Han Xin heard Wang Ben's words and shook his head slightly: "Your Majesty did not send General Meng Tian to the border as the commander."

"Similarly, His Majesty did not send Meng Fang to the border as the commander-in-chief."

Han Xin looked at Wang Ben and rejected Wang Ben's guess.

When Wang Ben heard Han Xin's words, his face changed slightly. He was surprised that Meng Fang did not serve as the border commander.

"Since it's not Meng Tian and Meng Fang, who on earth will Your Majesty send to the border as the commander?"

Wang Ben looked at Han Xin and asked again.
