Chapter 433: Xianyang, was I defeated by Chang'an Jun?
The desert is filled with solitary smoke and the sun sets in Changsha.
The sun in the distance grew bigger and slowly sank into the horizon. A man, leading a horse, slowly walked into Yanmen County.
Han Ji, with white hair, walked down from the city gate tower. She had been waiting here all day since her son left inexplicably.
"It's not fun here at all. I'm going back to Xianyang tomorrow."
Han Ji pouted, but her cheeks were not as round as before.
That face full of collagen looked a little shriveled, and looked more and more like an old man.
Ying Chengjiao let out an "ah" sound, looking a little silly.
After going out and coming back, my mother seemed to be the same carefree mother as before.
In this case, he doesn't need to make a choice, because his mother has already made the choice for him.
Just like... in the previous life...
"Mom, aren't you worried about me?"
He asked in a silly voice.
"My son is the best in the world, how can those villains hurt him!"
Han Ji put her hands on her hips, looking proud.
"Extremely."
Ying Chengjiao nodded vigorously and smiled happily.
Han Ji smiled happily when she saw her son was happy, and buried her worries deep in her heart.
A mother worries when her son is away from home.
There was no real sense of relief at all; I just didn't want to put my son in a difficult position.
Since he couldn't let his son stay, he should be as at ease as possible. Otherwise, when the war started, he would be restless and might suffer misfortune that he shouldn't have.
The mother and son walked side by side.
"Mother, you have never been to the desert, have you?"
"No."
"Then I'll take you there this time."
Two lives as a human being.
How can I not tell the difference in this life from the unclear preference in the last life?
In his previous life, he insisted on going to the Magic City, but his parents told him before he left not to worry about home and to go ahead and explore if he wanted.
Han Ji's eyes flashed with surprise, but soon dimmed again.
She had been a concubine for more than ten years and a queen mother for more than ten years. Even though she was not familiar with military affairs, she knew that war was the biggest matter for a country and that one should not mess around.
From ancient times to the present, I have never heard of any famous general taking his women relatives with him when he went to war. Bai Qi didn't, Wu Qi didn't, Sun Bin didn't, Pang Juan didn't, and Sun Wu didn't either.
"Wait until my son conquers the desert, then I'll take mother to see it."
Ying Chengjiao’s thoughts drifted away.
When he settled in that prosperous and modern magical city, he wanted to take his parents, who had wasted their entire lives in a small county in the north, to travel to Shanghai during the New Year holidays.
The woman who was always greasy and smelled like fried dough sticks and buns had a kind smile on her face.
"We'll go after you're safe over there."
He calculated the cost and time of taking his parents on a trip, opened his phone and looked at his Yu'e Bao account, which showed a figure of more than 30,000 yuan.
I thought it would cost nearly 20,000 yuan to take my parents out for a trip, but I only had 10,000 yuan in my pocket. What if something went wrong?
My parents are right, let's wait until things are more stable.
"good."
He responded while scrolling through his phone.
There was a loud roar and he fell on the driver's seat, the white airbag turned red.
Until he died, my parents were never able to come to Shanghai for a trip.
When will we feel safe?
When he graduated and was about to come to Shanghai, he was penniless, with less than 7,000 yuan in his pocket. He didn't listen to his parents and never thought about settling down.
Why is it that when it’s time to take my parents on a trip, I start to listen to them and think about stability?
If he had been tough that day, like when he insisted on going to Shanghai after graduation, wouldn't there be fewer regrets?
"No, just this time."
His tone was strong.
"good."
Han Ji responded softly, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and her steps became lighter.
The world is so big, everyone wants to see it.
It's great to watch it with my son.
All the worries in her heart disappeared.
Her son has been filial since childhood. He dared to take her to the desert to fight. Naturally, he thought that this battle would not hurt her and he was sure to win.
It soon became known to everyone that Ying Chengjiao was going to take his mother with him to the battlefield.
Inside a hall, a map of the desert was hung on the wall.
Wang Liao, Wang Xi, Meng Wu, Ying Jianglu, Mi Sui and others gathered together.
There are many preparations to be made before going on an expedition, including the marching route, where ambushes might be set up, and where the Hun tribes would be stationed. All of these need to be figured out.
Such discussions have been conducted many times, with more and more people participating.
But this time something was different.
“Nonsense!”
Wang Liao, who was fat and always tried to be very tactful when giving advice, got angry as soon as he entered the room.
"Do you think fighting is a joke? The battlefield is a place where ! It's not a place for sightseeing! You take your mother to the battlefield, do you think your life is too long?"
He endured it again and again for the sake of his old friend, and followed the young man in front of him with the determination to die, and went deep into the desert alone.
But he couldn't bear the fact that Ying Chengjiao took his mother with him to the war.
The mistakes this guy made before were just problems of cognition. After experiencing several fights and chases on the battlefield, he knew that war cannot be fought that way.
By then, with the assistance of him, Wang Xi, Meng Wu and others, it may be possible for them to escape unscathed.
But now taking my mother to fight, this is a matter of attitude!
The fact that he wanted to show off in front of his mother proved that he didn't take the Xiongnu seriously at all! He didn't take this war seriously!
If you underestimate the enemy to this extent, you will surely die.
Except for him, everyone else in the field is from Qin. Perhaps they are afraid to speak because of their title and power as Chang'an Jun. Then let him, a man from Wei, break the ice and wake this brat up!
"Cheng Jiao, you can't do it this way. Why do you have such an idea?"
Meng Wu almost didn't recognize his own little King of Qin anymore.
"General, this is indeed inappropriate."
Wang Xi also echoed.
Mi Sui didn't say anything, and tacit acceptance was an attitude.
Ying Jianglu didn't dare to say anything, as he had no right to speak in the arena.
He thought in his heart that his uncle told him not to underestimate the Huns, but he took Queen Dowager Han to fight. What a double standard.
Ying Chengjiao laughed and tapped the map on the wall.
"I am the commander-in-chief. My words are military orders. I will lead my mother on an expedition to the desert."
Everyone's face changed and they all opened their mouths to speak.
Ying Chengjiao knocked on the map on the wall again, and the dull sound interrupted everyone's words.
“Two roads.
"Come with me to the Northern Expedition, and I will bring my mother with me.
"If you don't want to join me in the Northern Expedition, please leave now.
"You choose."
Wang Liao was furious and left the table, leaving behind eight words.
"He is stubborn and reckless!"
Ying Chengjiao did not stop him and let Guixian, one of the top ten heroes in the world, leave first.
His eyes swept over the other people in the room.
"Who else wants to go?"
There was silence , and no one moved.
"I want to be king."
Ying Jianglu said with a smile.
He would take off his title as the Third Prince of Qin, put on the crown, and would never leave even if he died.
"The Chu clan is weak. I will not be at peace if I don't start a new clan. Even a cunning rabbit has three burrows."
Mi Sui, with his arms over his knees, sighed.
"Wu'an Jun is dead, and that old bird Meng Ao is also dead.
"Wang Xi didn't die. He hid in his own home for ten years, not caring about government affairs or military affairs, cultivating his character and taking care of his health.
"It's not to live a humiliating life for a few years, but to accompany the general in one more battle."
The veteran spoke.
He would recognize the general he recognized even if he died.
"Uncle Wu, this life is given to you."
Mengwudao.
After the death of the late king, he had never lived for the Meng family. Everything he did was from the perspective of the Meng family. He felt that he owed the late king and the young King of Qin a lot.
Today, the Meng family has brothers Meng Tian and Meng Yi as the main pillars of the family. It doesn’t matter whether Meng Wu is there or not.
"Ying Jianglu."
Ying Chengjiao nodded, and Ru Ran suddenly read out the full name of his third nephew.
"exist!"
"Would you like to be a former general?"
Front general, front army lieutenant general.
The vanguard is usually the first army to engage the enemy and is responsible for the charge.
The front general is the easier job among the five commanders of ten thousand men. You don't need to be good at commanding, just follow the orders of the main general and charge into battle.
Of course, the front general has a higher risk rate than other lieutenant generals.
"I am willing to do it! Thank you, General!"
Ying Jianglu had a look of delight on his face, and his clear, youthful voice was resounding.
He was not afraid of danger, but of having no hope. He knew that this was his uncle paving the way for him again.
If you want to be the king of the desert, you must fully control the Taotie army that can sweep away everything.
In the past, Ying Jianglu was suppressed by Meng Tian, which invisibly reduced his reputation in the Taotie Army. This time, as the former general, he was in the process of re-establishing his prestige.
Mi Sui frowned and wanted to exchange his position as lieutenant general for his nephew.
Once Ying Jianglu died, the Chu clan's prospects would all be dashed. The First Emperor could allow his third son to be king outside the Great Wall, but he would never allow Mi Sui to be king outside the Great Wall.
"Ying Jianglu, leading the vanguard, is the vanguard general of the Taotie Army."
Ying Chengjiao’s words made the final decision.
If you want to be king, you have to take risks.
Otherwise, he won't be able to be a good king and will only bring disaster upon himself.
Ying Chengjiao looked at everyone in the venue, wondering whether he should let Liu Bang, Fan Kuai and other Han group members enter the venue early.
Of the five lieutenant generals in the Taotie army, only one was vacant, the left general. But when the rear general Wang Liao ran away before he could even get warm, two more lieutenant general positions were vacant.
This time when they came to Bianjun, all members of the Han group were present.
Originally, Ying Chengjiao planned to incorporate the Han Tiantuan into the personal guard camp, and to keep them by his side personally so that the Han Tiantuan could grow quickly and be more stable.
With the two vacant lieutenant generals and the past few days of thinking, Ying Chengjiao no longer wanted to play it safe. There were no such things that were foolproof, and when would the game of safety end?
That night, Wang Liaoye met Ying Chengjiao and spent an hour trying to persuade him.
Unsuccessful.
Wang Liaopang, who was heartbroken, had a look of dejection on his face and waved his hands weakly.
"Well, I will go with you to the battle.
"Bu Wei has helped me a lot, I can't just watch you die."
Ying Chengjiao, who had been listening patiently to the lecture the whole night, chuckled.
"Do you think I'm joking?"
Wang Liao frowned.
"What?"
"You can't come and go as you please in the Taotie Army. Since you have given up the position of rear general, why would you come back?"
Wang Liao leaned forward, and this time his chubby body brought not gentleness but oppression.
"Do you know that the King of Qin wants me to lead the army?
“With just one battle, I became as famous as Erliang, who commanded the armies of five countries. With the word ‘first’, I surpassed all the generals and became one of the ten heroes.
"Don't play hard to get with me. This will only make me look down on you. If it weren't for my old friend asking me to do so, why would I fight for you?
"I'll ask you again,
Ying Chengjiao spoke without hesitation.
"It's the same even if I ask you ten or a hundred times. You can't lead the Taotie Army."
Wang Liao looked at Ying Chengjiao's indifferent face and finally confirmed that the boy in front of him was not speaking sarcastically but was serious.
He couldn't believe it.
Is there anyone in this world who can refuse him, Wang Liao, to lead the army?
What an arrogant boy!
"You don't need to worry about Uncle Wu. I will write a letter to tell Uncle Wu the reason. It has nothing to do with you. It's late at night and I'm a little tired. Please leave."
Wang Liao did not leave immediately, he was very confused.
"When you first met me, you were very respectful, but now you are so arrogant. Others are arrogant at first and then respectful, but you are respectful at first and then arrogant. What's the logic behind this?"
Ying Chengjiao served tea.
"It has nothing to do with you."
Serving tea and seeing off guests is part of the Wei ritual.
Wang Liao took it, drank it all, and strode away.
"If my brother were here, he would never let you go.
"Acting on impulse and following one's heart is acceptable to a boy, but not to a king."
The Yue girl turned off the lights and Ying Chengjiao went to bed.
A few days later, Li Mu rushed to Yanmen.
"How about I be the rear general?"
Ying Chengjiao kicked back to Shangjun.
"What's your business? Just stay in Shangjun."
Li Mu, who wanted to show off his skills, was very unhappy.
Before he returned to Shangjun, Wang Liao, who was still stranded in Yanmen, came to visit him and said that Deputy General Feixia wanted to see him.
The battle of Feixia was Li Mu's famous battle, and also his and Wang Liao's. In that battle, Li Mu was the main general and he was the deputy.
The concierge heard the news, went inside to report, and returned shortly afterwards.
"not see."
Wang Liao frowned, wondering whether Li Mu deliberately avoided seeing him or had forgotten that he, Wang Liao, was the deputy general of Feixia.
He stood up straight, his fat body erect.
"Please ask again, Wang Liao wants to see you."
The doorman's face suddenly froze. He didn't know who Wang Liao was, but seeing the man's demeanor change when he said his name, he guessed that he must be an important figure.
Not daring to delay, he ran all the way back to report. This time he came back even faster than last time.
The doorman, with sweat on his forehead, gave Wang Liao a displeased look.
He thought he was some important person, but it turned out he was just a noisemaker.
"The master said, 'Who is Wang Liao?'"
Wang Liao's face turned red and he walked away in shame and anger.
Inside the courtyard, the only surviving Wu'an Jun is considering going back to ask Jie Ba to think of a way to let the Lord take him to fight the Huns. How can training soldiers be as interesting as fighting a war?
As for Wang Liao, he did not forget his real name, but he only remembered his name.
The top ten heroes in the world? You are the first? Ridiculous!
It's just businessmen's flattery, do you really take it seriously?
Among the ten great military strategists in the world, there are three: Sun Bin values power, Wang Liao values predecessors, and Er Liang values descendants.
There is nothing much to say about Sun Bin and Li Mu. "Sun Bin's Art of War" is indeed well written and his battle record is also sufficient. He defeated the Wei Wuzu during their heyday and inflicted a heavy defeat on the arrogant Pang Juan. He is very strong.
But Wang Liao, Er Liang and Li Mu refused to accept the result. Who on earth could be better than me?
Erliang at least led the coalition forces of the five countries and forced Qin to close the Hangu Pass and dare not come out. Although they had more people, they still had a record.
(The sequence order was wrong in the previous chapter! This chapter returns to normal!)
Wang Liao, you only have one battle in your life: the battle of Feixia. What is there to brag about?
Military strategists rank people according to their military achievements. The idea of who is first and who is later is ridiculous.
Another two days.
A blue-eyed Hu man entered Yanmen.
"I heard that Chang'an Jun wants to attack the Xiongnu and march north to the desert, but he is still short of a rear general. I wonder if Wei Zhuang is feasible?"
The former left prime minister of the Qin Dynasty bowed.
"Prime Minister Wei, you know that Cheng Jiao will bring his mother with him to the battle this time."
The blue-eyed mixed-race Hu man nodded.
“Understood.
"I've heard that Chang'an Jun is sinister and treacherous. I don't know why you brought your mother with you today. Please come along and see for yourself!"
After a pause, the Hu Prime Minister asked the question that had been weighing on his mind for a year.
"Xianyang, I was defeated by Lord Chang'an?"
