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

Chapter 422: Han Xin and Wang Ben were shocked! The new border commander is Li Xin?
When Han Xin heard Wang Ben's words, he put down his wine jar and said, "The new general sent by your majesty is General Li Xin."

When Wang Ben heard Han Xin's words, the wine jar he had raised stopped in mid-air.

There was a hint of surprise on his face, but he quickly reacted, put down the wine bottle and looked at Han Xin:

"Brother Han Xin, you are not mistaken, are you? The new general sent by His Majesty is really Li Xin?"

"The imperial edict is right here. Brother Wang Ben, you will know it at a glance."

Han Xin placed the imperial edict on the table in front of Wang Ben, and Wang Ben picked up the edict.

Looking at the content above, the seven big words "Li Xin, the new border general" came into Wang Ben's eyes.

Wang Ben put down the imperial edict and looked at Han Xin: "I really didn't expect that your majesty would send General Li Xin to serve as the chief general."

Han Xin drank the wine, looked at Wang Ben who had a look of surprise on his face and said:

"General Li Xin is also a famous general of his generation and has great prestige in the army. Is there anything wrong with him being the new commander?"

Han Xin looked at Wang Ben and asked.

Wang Ben shook his head slightly when he heard Han Xin's words and said, "I am surprised that Li Xin came to the border to serve as the commander."

"It's not because of his ability. I recognize Li Xin's ability."

"But when your majesty selects a new commander, he will certainly ask Prince Fusu and other ministers for their opinions."

"Even if Prince Fusu doesn't recommend Meng Tian, ​​he will recommend Meng Fang. Prince Fusu is deeply trusted by your majesty."

"Logically, your majesty would agree to Fusu's recommendation and let Meng Fang serve as the commander."

"Now that His Majesty has appointed Li Xin as the commander-in-chief, could it be that His Majesty has ignored the candidate recommended by Prince Fusu?"

Wang Ben looked at Han Xin and expressed his thoughts.

Han Xin nodded slightly when he heard Wang Ben's words. Although he did not stay in Xianyang City for long, he was sent to the border as the commander-in-chief.

But in the process of his interaction with Wang Ben, Wang Ben told him some things happening in the court.

He also agreed with what Wang Ben had just said.

"Could it be that Prince Fusu did not recommend Meng Fang, but recommended General Li Xin instead?"

"This is the only reason that can explain why His Majesty sent Li Xin to the border as the commander-in-chief."

Han Xin looked at Wang Ben and expressed his thoughts.

Wang Ben was stunned for a moment when he heard Han Xin's words, but he quickly reacted.

He wanted to refute Han Xin's idea, but he thought Han Xin was right.

Only this reason can explain it clearly.

"When General Li Xin arrives at the border, you and I will ask him and we will know the real reason."

Han Xin looked at Wang Ben and expressed his thoughts.

Wang Ben nodded slightly when he heard Han Xin's words, and His Majesty appointed Li Xin as the commander-in-chief.

Li Xin naturally has to come to the border, and the specific situation will be known when they meet at the border.

Seven days later!

Border, at the inner city gate!

At this time, the gate of the inner city had been opened.

Han Xin and Wang Ben stood at the city gate, looking outside the city.

Yesterday, Li Xin sent spies to the border and told them that the two of them would arrive today.

When Han Xin and Wang Ben learned the news, they naturally had to prepare.

Open the gate of the inner city to welcome Li Xin's arrival.

Suddenly, thick smoke and dust appeared in front of the two of them. Seeing this scene, Han Xin and Wang Ben smiled.

There is no wind today, and the smoke and dust ahead can only be caused by the galloping war horses.

Such thick smoke and dust proves that there are quite a lot of war horses.

"Finally, General Li Xin has arrived!"

Wang Ben said this with a look of emotion on his face.

Han Xin smiled when he heard Wang Ben's words. The two of them had been looking forward to Li Xin's arrival these days.

They both also wanted to know whether Prince Fusu would recommend Li Xin as the commander-in-chief on the border.

Soon, a large number of troops appeared in front of Han Xin and Wang Ben.

Wang Ben looked at the white warhorse in front of him with a smile on his face. When Li Xin conquered the six kingdoms, he rode a white warhorse.

Only Li Xin likes such a conspicuous war horse.

After a while, a large number of cavalry stopped outside the city.

Li Xin got off the white warhorse and looked at the two people walking out of the border town.

Li Xin also had a smile on his face, "General Wang Ben, General Han Xin."

Looking at Wang Ben and Han Xin approaching, Li Xin clasped his fists and saluted.

"General Li Xin, you don't have to be polite. We are all one family!"

Han Xin helped Li Xin up with a smile on his face.

Although he and Li Xin had only met in the court, they had never spoken to each other.

But I was still very happy to see my own people at the border.

"Li Xin, you are finally here. Now that you are here, General Han Xin and I can go home."

Wang Ben patted Li Xin on the shoulder with a smile on his face.

When conquering the six kingdoms, Wang Ben also fought side by side with Li Xin.

The relationship between the two of them is also good.

However, after Li Xin was defeated in the battle against the State of Chu, he rarely talked and drank with other generals.

Wang Ben could only say that he felt regretful about this battle, as Li Xin lost to someone no one expected.

It was also because of this person that it caused quite a stir.

Prince Fusu was almost implicated.

"Your Majesty knows that the two generals are at the border and miss their families in Xianyang City."

"I was specially sent to the border as the commander-in-chief. You two will be able to see your families in Xianyang City soon."

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

"This is not the place to talk. Let's go to the General's Mansion and talk."

"The welcoming banquet is ready."

Wang Ben took Li Xin and walked into the city.

Han Xin arranged for his deputy general to place the soldiers brought by Li Xin, and also walked towards the direction of the city lord's mansion.

The three of them entered the city lord's mansion, and Han Xin and Li Xin were polite to each other.

In the end, Han Xin sat in the main seat, with Wang Ben and Li Xin sitting on both sides respectively.

"Brother Li Xin, you've had a hard time coming here. Did you encounter any danger along the way?"

After the three of them drank some wine, Wang Ben looked at Li Xin with concern.

Li Xin smiled when he heard Wang Ben's words and said, "On the way from Xianyang City to the border."

"Don't even mention the danger. I haven't encountered a single bandit."

"It is very safe in Daqin now."

"That's good!"

Wang Ben nodded slightly when he heard Li Xin's words and drank the wine in the jar again.

Han Xin glanced at Wang Ben, then at Li Xin:

"Although Han Xin and the general didn't talk much, they were both military commanders and straightforward people."

"Excuse me, Han Xin, I have some questions for Li Xinxiangjun."

When Wang Ben heard Han Xin's words, he looked at Li Xin and remembered something important.

It's Li Xin. Why did he become the new commander on the border, replacing Han Xin?

Li Xin looked at Han Xin with a smile on his face and said, "General Han Xin, you also said that everyone is straightforward."

"If you want to know anything, just tell me. Li Xin will tell you everything he knows."

Han Xin heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Li Xin's words. A smile appeared on his face and he said:

"His Majesty sent an imperial decree appointing the general as the chief commander of the border."

"General Wang Ben and I would like to know what happened in the court on the day when His Majesty appointed you as the border commander?"
