Chapter 468 Whetstone
Xianyang.
On the street, people gathered.
Lord Yang of Han conquered the Yuezhi and returned with his troops.
"I heard that the people in Simian look different from us, but I don't know if it's true or not?"
"I heard that Lord Hanyang brought many rare things from the west."
"I've heard that too, I've also heard that..."
In the crowd, a little girl was walking in front, and behind her was an old woman with a worried look on her face.
"Lian'er, the Prime Minister will be unhappy if you run out like this."
"What are you afraid of? Father is not at home today."
Mi Lian didn't care at all. The news that Zhao Shuang is coming back has spread throughout Xianyang City. In fact, she had always been curious about this unmasked husband.
Taking advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, she wanted to take a good look at what the man named her husband looked like.
What would I do if I had the head and eyes of a deer?
In Mi Lian's mind, thinking of this, a hint of sadness suddenly appeared in her little body.
But then, with a violent shout of harmony, Mi Lian's melancholy was interrupted.
Following Zhao Shuang were only dozens of knights and tributes to the royal family.
"What a tall horse!"
Mi Lian murmured. She had an extraordinary background and had seen many war horses, but this was the first time she had seen such a tall and handsome horse among the tributes.
The cavalry walking in front were so majestic and dazzling in the sun, but the long queue made Mi Lian a little tired of waiting.
Where is Zhao Shuang...
The motorcade went from the front to the end, but Mi Lian was not found, only the top guard.
"Why are you here? I finally found you."
A panting maid ran over with a look of panic on her face.
"The Prime Minister is coming back."
Lord Changping governs the government very strictly. Upon hearing this, both the old lady and Mi Lian looked frightened.
"Let's go back quickly."
The three of them hurried back to the mansion and entered the mansion from the backyard. Mi Lianzheng saw that the servants in the mansion were in a hurry and stopped one of them to ask.
"What's wrong?"
"The Prime Minister wants to welcome guests, so we have to go and prepare."
"What kind of guest is so important?"
"I heard he is Lord Hanyang."
Lord Hanyang?
Mi Lian's heart suddenly skipped a beat and she was ready to move. She blended in with the servants and arrived at the front mansion. Just as the door slowly opened, Lord Changping walked in with a man.
He is... Hanyang Jun Zhao Shuang?
Mi Lian looked at the handsome man who seemed to be shrouded in a halo under the sun, and her heart suddenly beat very fast.
Mi Lian was still stunned until Lord Changping, Lord Changwen and Zhao Shuang walked across the long road. After a long time, she came back to her senses after being reminded by the old lady beside her.
"Lian'er, haven't you always wanted to see Lord Hanyang?"
"I saw it, that's it."
With that said, Mi Lian trotted away proudly without looking back.
In the main room, Lord Hanyang was chatting happily with Lord Changping and Changwen, and they were drinking and drinking. For those who didn’t know, I thought they had a good relationship.
"Han Yangjun, you fought in Yuezhi and became famous all over the world. You are really a young hero!"
Chang Wenjun held up the cup with a smile and drank from the side.
"Where, there is an element of luck in it. I heard that Fan Yuqi lost the battle on the front line and disappeared?"
When Zhao Shuang said this, Lord Changping looked gloomy. How could he talk to people like this?
However, Changping-kun quickly recovered and changed into a smiling face again.
"I was about to discuss this matter with Lord Hanyang. In Fan Yuqi's battle, we, the Qin Dynasty, lost a lot of elites. Your Majesty wants to attack Zhao in the coming year. We and I elected Lord Hanyang as commander at the court meeting that day. I don't know what Lord Hanyang wants. how?"
Zhao Shuang gently shook the wine glass in his hand, with a slight smile on his face.
"To be honest, in this Great Qin, besides me, who else can take on this important responsibility now?"
Um?
When Changping Jun saw Zhao Shuang like this, he felt a little strange. Could it be that he drank too much wine or was drifting off?
"Han Yangjun said it well!" Chang Wenjun reacted first, "Such bold words and lofty ambitions deserve a drink."
"Come!"
The three of them drank together, and Zhao Shuang laughed and said loudly.
"Who is Li Mu? When I carry an army of 100,000 men, cross the Zhang River, and defeat Handan, the world will only know me as Zhao Shuang."
After all, it is the psyche of a young man that has achieved such a great victory. It seems that it is really floating!
Lord Changping and Lord Changwen looked at each other and smiled.
"I will congratulate Hanyang Jun for victory."
"In the battle to attack Zhao next year, the position of general will definitely belong to me, Zhao Shuang."
Qin Palace.
"Hanyang Jun is really the first choice for the position of general..."
"Only Lord Hanyang can turn the situation around..."
…
During the court meeting, all the courtiers of the Chu clan were dispatched, creating an atmosphere as if without Zhao Shuang, the Qin army would be hopeless.
Chang Pingjun arranged all this just to ask Zhao Shuang to stand up. A young general who has just made a great achievement must be eager to win.
And as long as he leads his army to attack Zhao, things will be much simpler after that.
After a long period of preparation, Zhao Shuang came out.
"Your Majesty, I think that in the battle to attack Zhao next year, only by electing a person with enough prestige for the position of general can we calm the morale of the army and reverse the defeat."
King Qin sat on the throne and asked softly.
"Who do you think can take on this important position?"
"I think Lord Changwen is a veteran general in the army and can take up this post."
For a time, all the courtiers belonging to the Chu clan were silent.
Chang Wenjun turned back to look at Zhao Shuang, shocked in his heart.
Zhao Shuang, you are cheating on me!
King Qin smiled and asked.
"But just now, all the officials in the court were recommending you as a general?"
"How can I take on such an important position when I am young and have poor moral character? I think that although the people's livelihood in Zhao is in decline, Li Mu is not easy to win. In the battle to attack Zhao, it is necessary to elect a stable person, so that there will be no such thing as Fan Yuqi because of his eagerness for meritorious deeds." , thus underestimating the enemy's carelessness. I believe that Lord Changwen, as a veteran minister, should be prudent and methodical, and will not make a rash advance just because he is greedy for merit."
Changping Jun narrowed his eyes and walked out with a gloomy face. At this moment, he understood that he had been tricked by Zhao Shuang.
"I believe that Lord Hanyang is not willing to take up the post of general, so we can look for new candidates. However, our elite army has suffered serious losses now. In the battle to attack Zhao, we can be more confident if we can mobilize the Anxi Town Army to return reinforcements."
"I believe that the Xiongnu are ready to move recently, and the troops on the border cannot be mobilized easily."
"Han Yangjun said so, are you going to let a new army go to attack Zhao?"
Lord Changping and Lord Hanyang, the son-in-law, started arguing in the court hall, and for a while, all the courtiers calmed down.
"Exactly!"
Zhao Shuang shouted, and Chang Pingjun was stunned. What is Zhao Shuang doing?
"I think that General Wang Jian has been training the new army for several years, and it has been very effective. If we, the Qin Dynasty, just want to attack other countries and gain the benefit of one city and one land, then an army of 200,000 is enough. But if we want to destroy the six countries and annex the world, Then two hundred thousand troops will not be enough."
With that said, Zhao Shuang bowed his hands.
"What is the Kingdom of Zhao? I believe that this battle is not about the gain or loss of a city or a place. It is a good time for our Qin Dynasty to train troops and generals. And Li Mu is the best whetstone for all generals."
When Zhao Shuang said this, all the generals in the court became excited.
"color!"
On the throne, King Qin smiled.
Lord Changping was standing by, looking at the familiar court that he had entered countless times, and suddenly it became strange.
