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

Chapter 426 Lin Xuan explains the reason! Han Xin's weakness, Lin Xuan reminds him!

When Lin Xuan heard Wang Ben's words, he smiled: "I oppose Meng Fang being the border commander."

"It's not because of his ability. I recognize General Meng Fang's military ability."

"Once General Meng Fang takes over as the border commander, there will be no crisis on the border."

"I object because of Meng Fang's identity."

"What is Meng Fang's identity?"

Wang Ben and Han Xin looked at each other when they heard Lin Xuan's words. They didn't understand what was wrong with Meng Fang's identity.

"Meng Fang is a member of the Meng family. What could be wrong with his identity?"

Wang Ben looked at Lin Xuan with a hint of doubt on his face.

Han Xin nodded slightly, he also agreed with Wang Ben's words.

Three generations of military generals from the Meng family conquered cities and strongholds for the Qin Dynasty.

There is no need to doubt the Meng family's loyalty to the Qin Dynasty.

Lin Xuan looked at Han Xin and Wang Ben, who were puzzled, and said, "The Meng family has a very high status in Daqin."

"Your Majesty also values ​​the Meng family very much. General Meng Tian defeated the Xiongnu at the border and made great contributions."

"After returning to Xianyang City, we conquered the land of Baiyue, and won two attacks on other kingdoms and tribes."

"This has further enhanced the reputation of the Meng family. Meng Tian's younger brother, Meng Yi, is an important official in the Shangqing court of the Great Qin."

"This pair of brothers holds a pivotal position in the Qin Empire."

“If Meng Fang also becomes the commander-in-chief of the border, the status and reputation of the Meng family will rise again.”

"How will other ministers view such a dazzling Meng family?"

"If any of these ministers are jealous of the Meng family, they will definitely target the Meng family if they have the chance."

"This is why I oppose Meng Fang being appointed as the commander-in-chief. This will prevent the Meng family from being too prominent."

"A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. I'm sure both generals are aware of this truth."

Lin Xuan looked at Han Xin and Wang Ben and stated the reasons why he opposed Meng Fang serving as the border commander.

Han Xin and Wang Ben were stunned when they heard Lin Xuan's words, and the wine bottles in their hands stopped in mid-air.

Neither of them expected that the reason Lin Xuan opposed it was because of the Meng family behind Meng Fang.

Lin Xuan looked at Wang Ben and continued, "General Wang Ben, you should be the one who can best understand what I just said."

"Your father, General Wang Jian, was during the conquest of the State of Chu."

"Commanding an army of 600,000, General Wang Jian has petitioned His Majesty several times to ask for benefits."

"General Wang Jian did this to make himself less dazzling."

"Commanding an army of 600,000 and asking for benefits is also to let other ministers see that General Wang Jian is also a general who likes worldly things."

"This way, these ministers will not target General Wang Jian."

"Also, in these years, General Wang Jian has rarely met with other ministers and generals."

"It is also to make the Wang family less dazzling. General Wang Ben is right, right?"

Lin Xuan looked at Wang Ben and mentioned the old general Wang Jian.

Lin Xuan had great respect for Wang Jian, the top commander.

Needless to say, he was good at fighting and commanding large troops to win victories.

He is also a very capable person who knows how to advance and retreat. Such a general will naturally be respected by others.

When Wang Ben heard Lin Xuan mention his father Wang Jian, he understood instantly.

Why did Lin Xuan oppose Meng Fang from being the commander-in-chief? Lin Xuan did so in order to make the Meng family less dazzling so as not to arouse the jealousy of others.

The same is true for their Wang family. The Wang family's status in Daqin is no less than that of the Meng family.

His father also often reminded him and his clansmen not to cause trouble for the Wang family outside and to keep a low profile.

"Mr. Lin Xuan is right. It is us two who are ignorant."

Wang Ben and Han Xin looked at Lin Xuan and bowed.

"Those involved are confused, but those who are on the sidelines can see things more clearly. It's normal that you can't see it."

Lin Xuan looked at Wang Ben and Han Xin and comforted them. Fusu, who was sitting in the main seat, saw that Wang Ben and Han Xin's confusion was solved by his teacher.

A smile appeared on his face, he had achieved his goal for today.

The questions that Wang Ben and Han Xin wanted to know have already been answered.

"Generals, just clear up the confusion. Go ahead!"

Fusu raised his wine jar as he spoke, and Lin Xuan and the other two also raised their wine jars.

The four of them drank the wine in one gulp.

Lin Xuan put down the wine bottle, looked at Han Xin, thought for a moment and said, "I have something to remind General Han Xin."

Han Xin, who was eating delicious food, looked at Lin Xuan and sat up straight when he heard Lin Xuan's words.

"Please speak, sir. Han Xin is all ears!"

Fusu and Wang Ben also looked at Lin Xuan. They both wanted to know what Lin Xuan wanted to say to Han Xin.

Lin Xuan nodded after hearing Han Xin's words and said, "General Han Xin returned to Xianyang this time with the results of driving the Xiongnu Chanyu out of the plains."

"Now not only Xianyang City, but the entire Qin knows the general's name."

"Your Majesty has even rewarded the general with a mansion. The other ministers will be very envious and even jealous when they see this reward."

"The general is still young and has a bright future ahead of him."

"Those ministers who are jealous of the general will surely target the general."

"I hope the general can remember his status and not be too proud."

"As long as the general can do this, he has the support of His Majesty and the Prince."

"The general's future will not be a problem."

Lin Xuan looked at Han Xin and gave him some instructions.

Lin Xuan was well aware of Han Xin's pride.

When he was still in Huaiyin County, Han Xin was very proud.

Now he has become a general of the Qin Dynasty and has returned triumphantly from the border.

You will definitely become more arrogant, and as a result, when facing others, you may say or do things that are detrimental to others.

This would create enemies for Han Xin himself, which is why Han Xin was executed by Lu Zhi in history.

In addition to the fact that Han Xin might pose a threat to the Liu family, another reason was that Han Xin was too proud.

Even facing Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, he was still so arrogant.

Such arrogance is a death warrant. Lin Xuan naturally does not want what happened in history to happen again to Han Xin now.

Han Xin's face turned solemn when he heard Lin Xuan's words. Lin Xuan's words just now touched his heart.

Since driving the Huns out of the plains, Han Xin has felt even more proud.

Lin Xuan's words made him suddenly realize that he was now in Xianyang City.

Every day he has to face those ministers who are smiling but have daggers hidden behind their faces. If he offends these ministers because of his pride.

Your situation will indeed be bad.

"Thank you for your reminder, sir. Han Xin knows what to do."

Han Xin stood up, looked at Lin Xuan, and bowed.

Wang Ben, who was standing aside, looked at Lin Xuan with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

When he conquered the six kingdoms, Wang Ben was also proud of his consecutive victories.

Because of my pride, I almost made a big mistake.

It was because of his father Wang Jian's scolding that he realized that he should not be so proud.

"You are too polite, General. I am also speaking from my heart."

"The two generals have returned in triumph. We will not leave until we are drunk tonight!"

Lin Xuan, Fusu and the other two raised their wine bottles and continued to clink glasses.
