Chapter 585 585.Wang Jian is in charge of the army
Qin State, Xianyang.
King Qin Zhao looked at everyone and asked: "My Qin State is now the time to employ people, although Li Xin let the Qin State suffer this defeat and suffer heavy losses, but he can't deny his talent." ”
Although Li Xin brought a great loss to King Qin Zhao, King Qin Zhao's love for talents is very strong, and Qin State is now the time to employ people.
Qin's strategy of eastward expansion has not changed, and if King Qin Zhao wants to devote himself to eastward expansion, he must need the talent of a general, although Li Xin was defeated by Wu Qi, but it cannot be denied that Li Xin is a general.
What's more, Li Xin lost to Wu Qi, not other mediocre generals, Wu Qi is a national warrior, and he has never tasted defeat once in his life, and Li Xin's defeat to Wu Qi is not a shameful thing.
It's just that this defeat is a bit miserable, not to mention that victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, if you don't allow your generals to fail, then these generals, who would dare to lead the army to fight?
If you can't fight, it's a dead end, then no one wants to fight for the Qin State.
What's more, Li Xin's failure in this battle was not caused by his own tactical command, but because someone on the Qin side defected, which caused Li Xin's camp to be in chaos, which eventually led to a big defeat.
Therefore, Li Xin's failure cannot be held responsible by Li Xin alone, of course, the most important thing is that King Qin Zhao likes this Li Xin, cherishes him, and feels that he is a capable person who can open up territory and expand territory for Qin.
King Qin Zhao looked at everyone and said, "The widow wants to pardon Li Xin, everyone, don't you have any opinions?" ”
Li Xin is King Qin Zhao's henchman, of course they are quick to kill one of King Qin Zhao's henchmen, but then again, if they don't support King Qin Zhao and kill Li Xin together, although this will completely isolate King Qin Zhao and make King Qin Zhao have no henchmen, they will also completely offend King Qin Zhao to death.
Although most of the government is now controlled by the Empress Dowager Xuan and their group of old ministers, how long can the Empress Dowager Xuan live? In the future, it is not to return to King Qin Zhao, and they will not have to obey King Qin Zhao's dispatch at that time.
The so-called do things to leave a line, so that they can meet in the future, this group of old ministers also knows that they can't offend King Qin Zhao.
"It's all up to the king!" The ministers fell to their knees.
King Qin Zhao saw that this group of ministers agreed to his proposal, and he was very relieved in his heart, at least this Li Xin was saved.
Although Li Xin was saved, King Qin Zhao also knew that Li Xin might not be allowed to take charge of Shuai Yin for a long time in the future.
Although King Qin Zhao was unwilling, he still wanted to hand over the handsome seal to the hands of the Wang family, the Wang family represented the Qin state's nobles, and unlike the four nobles, they were considered to be wall-riding, but if they took power, they would still be in a delicate confrontation situation for the four nobles.
After all, although the Wang family is a wall-riding faction, they also want to take charge of the power and become a pillar-level force in the Qin State.
After King Qin Zhao finished his reign, he went alone to Qin's Xianyang Prison, which had three floors, the first layer was for ordinary prisoners, the second was for death row prisoners, and the third layer was for Qin officials like Li Xin.
After King Qin Zhao walked to the third layer, he looked at those who were in power in the Qin State in the past, and the biggest mistake they made was to be enemies of Empress Dowager Xuan.
A large part of the people here are losers in the struggle for power with Empress Dowager Xuan, and if they fail, they will be punished by the losers.
As the losers, they were imprisoned in this Xianyang prison.
King Qin Zhao came to the Xianyang prison, in the cell where Li Xin was held, Li Xin saw that King Qin Zhao was coming, and he knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to die, apologize!" ”
King Qin Zhao took a deep breath: "You don't have to die, I have already saved you in the court!" ”
Li Xin was stunned when he heard it, he didn't expect that King Qin Zhao would save him from defeat in the court, how much love he had?
After Li Xin heard King Qin Zhao's words, his eyes moistened unconsciously, and he didn't know how to repay King Qin Zhao.
"Your Majesty, you cherish your ministers so much, and your ministers don't know how to repay them!" Li Xin touched his moist eyes and said.
"In the future, you can expand your territory for me and for the Qin State, and the future Qin State still needs talents like you!" King Qin Zhao looked at Li Xin and said.
"Minister, I will not live up to the king's expectations, if I am disappointed, I don't need the king to do it, I will judge it myself!" Li Xin looked at King Qin Zhao and said.
"I hope it's as you say!" After King Qin Zhao finished speaking, he turned around and left, and then the door of Li Xin's cell was opened.
And at this time, the Xianyang royal family.
"Father, Li Xin has been released!" Wang Ben looked at Wang Jian and said.
"Well, this Li Xin has to be cultivated heavily, and the future military power of the Qin State is under his control!" Wang Jian said lightly.
"Father, what virtue does this Li Xin have, how can he be in charge of the military power of my Qin army? Above this court, who doesn't know that only his father and Bai Qi are qualified to ascend to the highest title of the military generals of the Qin State 'Wu Anjun'! Wang Ben looked at Wang Jian and said.
The highest title of the military general of the Chu State is Da Sima, which is an official title and a title, while the highest title of the military general of the Qi State is the general, or the duke of the named party, and the title of the highest general of the Qin State is Wu Anjun.
However, since the state of Qin, there have only been three people who have been named Wu Anjun, but that was a long time ago, and in recent decades, they have not ascended to the position of Wu Anjun.
However, above the current court of the Qin State, all the ministers feel that the only ones who can be named Wu Anjun are Wang Jian and Bai Qi.
But now it seems that everyone thinks that this Li Xin seems to be about to ascend to the highest martial position.
"Just because he is appreciated by King Qin Zhao!" Wang Jian said to his son Wang Ben.
Regarding the title of Wu Anjun, Wang Jian actually didn't care very much, after all, he was now the first person in the military power of the Qin State.
Although he does not have the title of Wu Anjun, he exercises the duty of Wu Anjun and enjoys the power that Wu Anjun has.
"Tomorrow, where do you go to Li Xin, let him go to the army, and grant him the position of lieutenant general!" Wang Jian said to Wang Ben.
Because of Li Xin's defeat in the war against Chu, all his titles and official titles were plundered and he became a sinner.
And Wang Jian was also inspired by King Qin Zhao, and asked him to teach him so that he could become a handsome man in his own right.
"Father, I understand!" Wang Ben nodded and said to Wang Qian.
"Also, I'm going to pack up and go to the border between South Korea and Qin!" Wang Jian said to Wang Ben.
Wang Ben didn't understand what Wang Jian meant: "Why is my father going?" ”
"The Qin State is going to war with South Korea, as the ruler of the Qin State's army, shouldn't he go to the Korean border to sit in the town?" Wang Jian looked at his son Wang Ben and said.
Wang Ben was stunned: "Qin wants to start a war with Korea?" Wang Ben was a little dazed, he felt that the Qin State had just experienced a big war, and he should recuperate, so how could he attack again?
