Chapter 307 Xianyang Messenger
When Cai Bo walked into Chen Ying, the Qin army had just repelled the attack of the Chu army, and occasionally stone bombs with stone throwers could be found on the streets on the side of the road.
Only the city gate to the west seems quiet and there is no trace of damage.
Xicheng is connected to the Qin land. When the Chu army attacked Xicheng, it would inevitably lengthen the front line and leave flaws. Chen Ying was once the capital of the Chu State after the relocation of the Chu State. In order to prevent the Qin army from attacking, the city gates to the west were built particularly tall and sturdy.
The Chu army did not want to come to Xicheng to encounter this tough problem. Meng Tian arranged a Qin army to garrison. The Chu army wanted to take the opportunity to attack, but there was no chance.
"Chen County is much warmer than Guanzhong."
Cai Bo felt the warmth in the air, rubbed his palms, and a heat gushed out of his body.
Thinking of seeing Meng Tian at the front line soon, Cai Bo unconsciously accelerated his pace.
"Meng Tian welcomes the king's envoy!"
In the Central Military Barracks, after Meng Tian confirmed Cai Bo's identity, he led a team of personal soldiers to greet him.
"Haha, General Meng, don't be so polite, go in and talk."
Cai Bo jumped out of the car, stepped in front of Meng Tian a few steps, and blinked a few naughtyly.
Meng Bao arranged for someone to welcome Cai Bo's entourage, Meng Tian and Cai Bo walked into the command post together.
"Huh, what is this?"
When he entered the gate of the command post, the sand table in the hall immediately attracted Cai Bo's attention.
"I call this sand table, which simulates the terrain of Chen County."
Meng Tian smiled and introduced to Cai Bo.
"It's so exquisite!" Cai Bo bent down, holding the guardrail of the sand table with both hands, and exclaimed in his mouth, "With this sand table, the terrain of Chen County is obvious at a glance, but it greatly facilitates the use of troops."
Qin State attached great importance to the military merits of the nobles. The nobles' children learned military and knowledge from an early age, and were influenced by them. Cai Bo was no exception. As soon as he saw the sand table, he understood the important uses for combat.
"Just Chengjun, did you come to Chen Ying this time, but did you bring the king's will?"
After Meng Tian sat down, he did not continue to go deep into the sand table, but asked about Cai Bo's purpose of coming. He sent a messenger back to Xianyang to send a message, waiting for news from Xianyang.
Commanding the 200,000 Qin troops on the front line, Meng Tian repaid as a deputy general, which was a temporary measure, and some were injustice. Without the formal recognition of Xianyang, it turned out that the generals under Li Xin were always a little close and distant.
"I knew you were concerned about this now." Cai Bo smiled and lowered his voice, "You will be the leader of the army soon!"
"I?"
In addition to being surprised by Meng Tian's appropriate performance, he was ready to welcome Wang Jian.
Li Xin died in battle. The general who is most suitable to come out to clean up the mess is now. There is no one else except Wang Jian.
"The National Guard personally recommends you. The king felt that Qin needs to train a young general who succeeded him, so he nodded."
After the death of Gangchengjun Cai Ze, Cai Bo inherited Gangchengjun's title and served as the chief lord in the palace. During the ban, Cai Bo heard about the news of the matter in the palace.
Wei Liao supported Meng Tian as the leader of the attack on Chu, and Meng Tian was very surprised.
After introducing Wei Liao, he was successfully reused by Ying Zheng, Meng Tian and Wei Liao rarely had any contact. Wei Liao formulated the strategy of destroying the country, and always tried to destroy the six Shandong countries with the smallest casualties and the most stable way.
The smallest casualties are to ensure that the Qin army will not suffer major losses, and secondly, it cannot cause huge damage to the six Shandong countries.
Among the Qin generals, Wang Jian's use of troops best reflects Wei Liao's strategic requirements. Wang Jian was able to destroy the Qin generals, and Wei Liao played a great role in it.
Why did Wei Liao turn out to be normal this time and recommend the young Meng Tian?
"The State Guard advised the king that the losses of the destruction of Zhao, Yan, Wei and Qin troops were far lower than expected and could bear a risk."
Perhaps because he saw the question in Meng Tian's mind, Cai Bo patiently explained based on the news he heard.
"An adventure?"
Meng Tian’s thoughts were slightly moved, which was both an opportunity and an adventure.
If Chu is successfully destroyed, Meng Tian will definitely be able to become famous as a famous general and catch up with Wang Jian's pace. However, if he returns in failure, Meng Tian will bear the blame for Li Xin's defeat.
"Meng Tian, do you have confidence?" Cai Bo asked quietly, "I have not made any public order to the king yet. You still have the opportunity to express your love to the king."
Before leaving, Ying Zheng had an explanation to ask Cai Bo to confirm Meng Tian’s fighting intention first.
"I've taken over the mission of destroying Chu."
After careful consideration, Meng Tian nodded heavily.
After the tasks assigned by the leader, this time after refusing, it will probably leave the impression that he is not brave enough to take up the job. In later generations, Meng Tian had some experiences with people in the workplace. When the leader asked if he had confidence, he must say that he had.
During the month of confrontation with Xiang Yan, how to deal with Chu State? Meng Tian gradually formed a complete plan in his heart.
"Since you say that, then be prepared to accept the will of the king before the entire army."
Cai Bo looked at Meng Tian’s resolute face and felt a little fascinated. He commanded thousands of troops. He had the same idea when he was a child. Only after he actually entered the army did he realize that he was afraid of the color of blood.
The King of Qin was afraid of blood. After saying it out, the Cai family would definitely become the laughing stock of the entire Qin State. For so many years, Cai Bo stayed in the palace and refused to let go. He just went to the front line and witnessed the grand occasion of hundreds of thousands of troops with his own eyes, but still couldn't stop his mind.
"After me, Li Chao will bring 50,000 troops from Lantian Camp to reinforce you to attack Chu. But Li Chao has some complaints about you privately."
After coming back to his senses, Cai Bo gave Meng Tian a good and bad news.
"Li Xin died in Chen Ying, I am still alive, and he blames me, there is nothing he can do about this."
Meng Tian shook his head helplessly.
Li Xin's son Li Chao has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, good at riding and shooting, and is quite famous. Meng Tian once met this bright future junior in the palace.
"Li Chao once said that you did not stop Li Xin from entering Chen Ying, which made his father suffer the shame of being killed."
Li Chao is still young and does not know how to be cautious in words and actions. The words he said in private can easily spread to Cai Bo's ears.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this that Ying Zheng was more at ease to let Li Chao lead his troops to reinforce Meng Tian. Xiong Qi's betrayal did not make Ying Zheng suspicious, but the checks and balances were taken appropriately.
"I sent someone to inform Li Xin, but he didn't listen to me. What else can I do?"
Meng Tian smiled bitterly. Just because he was still alive, he became the object of Li Chao's resentment. Who is he going to provoke whom.
"I'm not worried about Li Chao's affairs. He will mature sooner or later."
Professor Li Xin, Meng Tian’s swordsmanship, can be regarded as having a teacher-student friendship. As long as Li Chao does not do too much, Meng Tian is willing to take proper care of this junior and give him the opportunity to earn military merits.
Meng Tian leaned over and moved a few steps towards Cai Bo's seat. He stared at Cai Bo's eyes with a solemn expression and slowly spoke: "I have an idea to attack and destroy Chu State. You need to make a statement to the king after returning to Xianyang......"
