The concubine is amazing: the sturdy little princess

Chapter 142 I am the Emperor's personal deputy

At the southern border, there was a strong wind, and depression was everywhere.There are also pitifully few pedestrians on the streets of the border town.

From time to time, a pair of Zhan family troops came to patrol the city, and each soldier had a solemn look on his face.

In the city, the general's temporary residence.The hall was filled with generals in armor.

Zhan Beiqing sat at the head in a gray robe.Behind him, Yun Yi and Yun Er stood stretching out their hands.A hideous scar runs through half of Yun Yi's handsome face. At this moment, his face is cold, the hideous scar seems to open his mouth, making people afraid to look directly at it.

"My lord, Qin's army of 50 troops has been fighting every day, and their words have become more and more unpleasant. The hearts of the soldiers have become more and more impetuous," said Lieutenant General Cheng Zixi, clasping his fists.

"My lord, it's not a solution to stay behind closed doors all the time. The morale of the army is fluctuating. This is a taboo in war." Captain Zhao Gang said in a low voice.

Dozens of generals talked about it.On the other hand, Zhan Beiqing was very calm on the high seat.

"Vice General Li, what do you think?" Zhan Beiqing picked up the teacup.Take a sip.

Li Jianren, the deputy general who was named, stood up, puffed out his chest, and said quite proudly, "The general is not talented. He has been familiar with military books and knows all kinds of military arts from ancient and modern times. The general thinks that at this time, we should open the city gate and fight out." , give them a disarm. Let Qin Bing see how powerful our Wu army is."

"In case the Qin soldiers have an ambush, just wait for us to open the city gate?" Cheng Zixi snorted coldly, and said sarcastically, "Vice General Li's idea is a good one. In case the Qin soldiers have an ambush, calm down and attack when my army leaves the city." In the city, when the time comes, the position will be occupied, where will our 30 soldiers go?"

Hearing this, Li Jianren glared at Cheng Zixi fiercely, with his nostrils upturned, and argued in a rough voice, "The gate of the city is only opened for the convenience of entering and exiting. It's not like the city is unattended."

Cheng Zixi, while talking, looked at Cheng Zixi with disdain, "Or are you a dead Qin spy, sneaking in when our army is out of the city?"

"You are talking nonsense. The general is so loyal, how could he be an enemy spy?" Cheng Zixi jumped up angrily, staring at Li Jianren with red eyes.

Li Jianren snorted, "Since you are not an enemy spy, then what is there to worry about?"

Cheng Zixi's nose was almost crooked, this Li Jian was obviously a mediocre person, and his military strategy was only rhetorical.Before the prince came.Relying on his position as the deputy general appointed by His Majesty, and holding the Shangfang sword bestowed by the emperor, he sent troops at will.Send troops three times, and worship all three times. The 30 Zhan Family Army fought bravely and lost nearly [-] troops.

The day before the prince came, the wind was raging, and the ground was full of dust. It was not a suitable day for fighting.This Li Jian insisted on going to fight.He, Cheng Zixi, and several lieutenants stopped him, but Li Jianren took out Shangfang's sword on the spot, and shouted "Those who disobey the order, beheaded!"

Cheng Zixi and the others had no choice but to send troops out of the city.One hundred thousand Zhanjia troops went out of the city to face the Qin soldiers.

On that day, blood stained the open space under the city, and on that day, the corpses of the soldiers of the Zhan Family Army were piled up into a mountain, and the wind roared with screams.Then, it rained cats and dogs from the sky.

Cheng Zixi, several lieutenants and the rest of the Zhan family army knelt on the ground in the heavy rain.This is the first time the Zhan Family Army has experienced such a disastrous defeat since its establishment more than ten years ago.On that day, all the Zhan family troops saw off their dead brothers in the heavy rain.On that day, in the heavy rain, the blood of the dead soldiers of the Zhan family army flowed into rivers.

And he, Li Jianren, hid in the temporary general's mansion, and arrested a few women from good families in the street for his entertainment.

"My lord, Lieutenant General Li only knows how to use his pen." Zhao Gang sullenly looked straight at Li Jianren with sharp eyes. "Otherwise, he wouldn't have been defeated by the enemy three times."

Hearing this, Li Jianren almost jumped up, pointed at Zhao Gang and argued, "This general is His Majesty's personal deputy general. Before the general arrives, he has the right to lead his troops out of the city to meet the enemy. Besides, even the prince may not be victorious in every battle." This general only lost three battles to Qin Bing. Moreover, this general has come in and carefully studied the art of war, and has found a way to defeat the enemy. As long as the prince gives this general a chance, this general will definitely defeat Qin Bing."

"It's just three battles lost." Zhao Gang's eyes were almost red, and he shouted at Li Jianren, "The price of your three battles is the lives of [-] soldiers."

Li Jianren didn't feel that there was anything wrong at all, he puffed up his chest, "Since joining the army, you must have the determination to fight and die for Wu."

"They are determined to die, but they shouldn't die under the command of a mediocre person like you." Lieutenant General Lin Feng slapped the table and shouted angrily.

"Who do you say is mediocre?" Li Jianren narrowed his eyes and asked viciously.

"Who do you think I'm talking about?" Lin Feng sneered, "You've only read military books for a few days, and you're trying to defeat Qin Bing with the tactics in the book. Are you an idiot to call Qin Bing General Qian Sheng?"

"Lin Feng..." Li Jian stared at Lin Feng fiercely with a gloomy face, "Since you say I can't do it, then you can try to lead troops to fight."

Lin Feng paused, all the words were choked in his throat, unable to speak.

"We have self-knowledge and know that we are not made to be generals," Cheng Zixi said word by word.Those words were clearly satirizing Li Jian, who was a mediocre person and wanted to be a general, which made people laugh out loud.

"This general was personally appointed by His Majesty, and he holds a Shangfang sword. If Your Majesty thinks that he has no talent to lead an army, why should he be so fond of this general?" Li Jian raised his chin proudly, "I see that you are clearly jealous of Your Majesty." For the favor of this general”

"Vice General Li seems quite confident in himself," Yun Yi interjected coldly.

Li Jian was stunned for a moment, he knew that Yun Yi was Nan Wang Zhan Bei Qing's capable subordinate, and since Yun Yi spoke, it meant that Nan Wang acquiesced.He was very courageous, and he didn't dare to contradict Nanwang openly.

Li Jian's face quickly changed into a smile, and he cupped his hands and said, "The general is familiar with military books. Although he has lost a few battles, the general has learned from it. Next time, the general will definitely defeat the Qin soldiers. The general I still have confidence in my abilities.”

Below, Cheng Zixi and the others had ironic smiles on their faces.Ability, what ability?They only saw a mediocre who was quite a general, but could only boast and copy the art of war.

"Three battles and three defeats, has Vice General Li thought about how to explain to the dead Zhan Family Army brothers?" Zhan Beiqing put down his tea cup and asked coldly.

Li Jianren was slightly taken aback, clasped his fists and said, "The final general asked the prince to lead fifty thousand elite soldiers out of the city to fight against the Qin soldiers. The final general promises to defeat the Qin soldiers, so as to explain to the dead brothers."

Zhan Beiqing raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Li Jianren, and asked word by word, "How do you guarantee to defeat Qin Bing?"

Li Jianren frowned slightly, but explained patiently, "The general studied the art of war today, and summed up in detail the reasons for several failures against the enemy. The general believes that the general will definitely defeat the Qin soldiers this time."

"Why should I trust you?" Zhan Beiqing asked indifferently.There was no emotion in his words.

Li Jianren frowned, thinking in his heart, when he came, the emperor told him that he must win the battle and replace the king of Nan, when the time comes, the emperor will make him a general.A new generation of God of War in Wu Kingdom.

Li Jianren gritted his teeth, and squeezed out a difficult sentence from between his teeth, "The final general is willing to guarantee his superiors"

For a while, everyone in the hall fell silent.Cheng Zixi and the other lieutenants who followed Zhan Beiqing early in the morning exchanged some information with their eyes.

And the three lieutenants who followed Li Jianren felt a little anxious in their hearts, and secretly complained to Li Jianren that a war is a war, so why use the head of Shang as a guarantee? What if they lose again?
After Cheng Zixi and the others exchanged glances, Cheng Zixi stepped forward, "Please think twice, my lord." Cheng Zixi and the others felt that Li Jian was arrogant and arrogant, and he was not the type to lead troops to fight.But in his hand he held the Shangfang sword bestowed by the emperor. They knew that the prince must also be dissatisfied with Li Jianren, but because of the emperor, they could not touch him.So, after they discussed it, they could only remind the prince to think twice.

Zhan Beiqing laughed, "Vice General Li has the confidence to defeat Qin Bing, but this king has no confidence."

Li Jianren looked at Zhan Beiqing in a daze, "My lord, what do you mean?"

Zhan Beiqing sneered when he heard the words, and suddenly, he slapped the table with one hand, and said word by word, "You are confident, but this king dare not give you the lives of the soldiers of the Zhan family army. You are so happy, talking about military affairs on paper, it is obviously true." A mediocre person likes to be in the limelight. Three battles cost the lives of one hundred thousand soldiers from the Zhan family. You treat me as blind or foolish, and still use you as a waste?"

Li Jianren blushed for a while, then turned pale for a while, he was trembling with anger, "You, you, you"

"You what you. You are so successful, you keep telling harsh words, and you lost the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers. If you are guilty, you should be beheaded." Zhan Beiqing said coldly, "Come here, take Li Jianren down and behead him immediately."

Yun Yi and Yun Er flew over, one on the left and one on the right, held down Li Jianren, and walked out of the hall.Li Jianren struggled hard and shouted, "This general is your majesty's deputy general, you have no right to kill me. This general is your majesty's personal seal, holding Shang Fang's sword, you have no right to behead me"

"My lord, it seems a little inappropriate for you to do this." Several generals who followed Li Jianren stood up one after another to protest.

"Vice General Li was personally appointed by His Majesty, your lord, you can't touch him"

"Vice General Li holds Shang Fang's sword. Seeing the sword is like His Majesty's presence. My lord, you can't kill Vice General Li."

"Where is Shangfang's sword?" Zhan Beiqing sneered, "When you bring Shangfang's sword, you are talking to me."

When several generals heard this, they ran out of the hall one after another, one by one rushing to the place where Li Jian lived.Today, if Li Jian lost his life, it would be their turn next.They will hold on to Li Jianren's life today.Otherwise, they would not be able to speak to His Majesty.

"My lord, what if the emperor blames me?" Zhao Gang and others said worriedly.

Zhan Beiqing waved his hand, "It doesn't matter." Zhan Beifeng won't blame him.Because he only had half a year to live, Zhan Beifeng was still waiting for him to defeat Qin Bing and hand over the Zhan Family Army's talisman.
