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

Chapter 425: Wang Ben was shocked. Prince Fusu’s teacher is so young?

"General Wang Ben, are you feeling unwell?"

Fusu looked at Wang Ben standing in the hall and quickly greeted him.

Wang Ben reacted after hearing Fusu's words and shook his head slightly: "There is nothing wrong with Wang Ben's body."

"I just saw that the young master called this young man named Lin Xuan "teacher."

"General Han Xin also called this man sir. Wang Ben was a little shocked for a moment."

Wang Ben looked at Fusu and told the truth.

"My name is Lin Xuan. I have heard of General Wang Ben's great name for a long time. Seeing him today, I can see that he is indeed worthy of his reputation."

Lin Xuan stood up and looked at Wang Ben with a smile on his face.

Wang Ben was tall and strong but not fat. With such a body, ordinary soldiers would be unable to resist him once he charged on the battlefield.

"You are too polite, sir. I am very happy to meet you, Mr. Wang Ben, today."

Wang Ben looked at Lin Xuan and bowed.

He did not dare to look down on this young man, and Prince Fusu called him teacher.

Han Xin was such a powerful general and he respected this man very much.

Wang Ben knew in his heart that this person must be very powerful.

"General, please take a seat. Tonight's dinner is prepared by Master Fusu for you and General Han Xin."

"Thank you, sir!"

Wang Ben walked to the right side of the hall and sat down, drinking a glass of wine.

His complexion recovered a little and his mood calmed down.

Now he completely understood what his father told him today.

"It has been rumored in the court for some time that someone is helping the young master behind the scenes."

"It must be Mr. Lin Xuan, right?"

Wang Ben looked at Fusu and Lin Xuan and couldn't help but ask.

When the ministers in Xianyang City discussed this matter before, Wang Ben was also quite curious.

Prince Fusu suddenly underwent such a big change and did so many things for the Qin Dynasty.

Wang Ben was also very shocked. If there was someone helping Prince Fusu behind the scenes, he also wanted to know who that person was.

Wang Ben told his father Wang Jian about his desire to find out the mastermind behind Prince Fusu.

He was scolded by his own father, who told him not to get involved in the matter.

In order to avoid causing trouble for the Wang family, Wang Ben suddenly realized what his father said.

Prince Fusu's change offended many ministers, and these ministers did not dare to provoke Fusu.

Naturally, the target should be the master behind Prince Fusu, if he finds this master.

If other ministers knew about this expert, he would be in danger.

He had also offended Prince Fusu, which was not a good thing for the Wang family.

Wang Ben could only suppress this thought in his heart and stay away from it.

When he met Lin Xuan today, he couldn't help but ask Lin Xuan if he was the master who helped Fusu behind the scenes.

Fusu smiled when he heard Wang Ben's words, "General Wang Ben, you are right."

"Teacher is the master who has been helping me behind the scenes. This is what I am going to report to my father."

"It's all related to the teacher. The weapons and ships built by the Mohist School were all researched by the teacher and handed over to the Mohist School to build."

Fusu looked at Wang Ben and told him the truth.

Wang Ben was stunned when he heard Fusu's words. He didn't expect that Prince Fusu had so many ideas during this period.

And all the good things that were useful to Daqin were related to Lin Xuan.

"Not only that, the chief examiner of the imperial examination, Xiao He, was also recommended to Master Fusu by Mr. Lin Xuan."

"And I, the former border commander, was mentioned by Mr. Lin Xuan and Master Fusu."

"If Mr. Lin Xuan had not recommended me to Master Fusu, Han Xin would still be an idler in Huaiyin County." After Fusu finished speaking, Han Xin went on to mention himself and Xiao He.

When Wang Ben heard Han Xin's words, the wine jar in his hand fell to the ground. Wang Ben did not expect that Lin Xuan would recommend talents to Prince Fusu.

Wang Ben was very clear about the abilities of Xiao He and Han Xin.

As the chief invigilator of the imperial examination, Xiao He conducted the examination very well.

Your Majesty also often praised Xiao He, and the ministers in the court also witnessed Xiao He's abilities.

As for Han Xin, Wang Ben knew him better. This was the first time Han Xin served as a commander-in-chief without any military experience.

The Huns were defeated with the help of two types of food: potatoes and corn.

A plan was devised to drive the Huns out of the plains, and the end result was that the Huns were driven out of the plains.

There was no major crisis on the Qin border, which was enough to prove Han Xin's ability.

Lin Xuan's eyes are so sharp that he can see that two unknown people have such strong abilities.

"After listening to the words of Prince Fusu and General Han Xin, Wang Ben admired you."

"I offer a toast to you, sir!"

As Wang Ben spoke, he filled the wine jar with fine wine.

He raised the wine bottle with both hands and looked at Lin Xuan with admiration on his face.

"General Wang Ben, you are too polite!"

As Lin Xuan spoke, he raised the wine bottle with both hands like Wang Ben.

The two of them drank it all in one gulp, with a smile on their faces.

Wang Ben put down the wine jar and thought to himself, if the ministers in the court knew that the master behind Prince Fusu was so young.

He is Prince Fusu’s teacher and will definitely be very shocked.

Fusu, who was sitting in the main seat, looked at Wang Ben and Han Xin and said, "Today, the two generals asked me why I recommended General Li Xin to be the chief commander of the border."

"Other ministers were present at the time, so I did not tell you the reason."

"There are only four of us in the hall now. I can tell the two generals the reason."

"The reason why I recommended General Li Xin to be the border commander is because of Teacher Lin Xuan."

As Fusu spoke, he looked at Lin Xuan, and Wang Ben and Han Xin also looked at Lin Xuan.

The two did not expect that Li Xin, as the border commander, had a relationship with Lin Xuan.

Fusu looked at the two and continued, "I know that my father wants to transfer the two generals back to Xianyang City."

"I already have a candidate for the new commander in mind, and that's Meng Fang."

"I was planning to recommend Meng Fang to my father, and the teacher found out about it."

"I think Meng Fang is not suitable to be the commander of the border, so I recommend General Li Xin."

Fusu looked at Han Xin and Wang Ben and told them the reason.

There was a hint of doubt on Wang Ben and Han Xin's faces. They knew that Prince Fusu recommended Li Xin because of Lin Xuan.

However, Lin Xuan said that Meng Fang was not suitable to be the commander of the border, and Wang Ben and Han Xin still had some doubts.

In the border battle, Wang Ben and Han Xin had seen Meng Fang's performance.

"When conquering the six kingdoms, I fought side by side with Meng Fang."

"Meng Fang is an extremely outstanding general. I recognize his abilities even if he leaves the army."

"The last time we drove the Xiongnu out of the plains, Meng Fang was the first to lead the charge and no one could stop him. He even beheaded the Xiongnu Chanyu and made a great contribution."

"Sir, you think Meng Fang is not suitable to be the border commander. I wonder what your reason is?"

Wang Ben looked at Lin Xuan and expressed his doubts.

Han Xin nodded slightly. Although he didn't say anything, he agreed with Wang Ben's point of view.

There is no major crisis on the border now, so there is no problem for Meng Fang to go to the border to serve as the commander.
