Chapter 40 Wang Jian
Wang Jian took Ying Zheng's order and a surprise flashed in his eyes. Why is it so different from the rumored news? He raised his eyes from time to time to time. Seeing that Meng Tian was only seventeen or eighteen years old, standing straight, neither humble nor arrogant, his heroic spirit was introverted and faintly emerging, reminding him of Wang Ben's youth.
At this time, Wang Ben was only twenty-seven or eight years old, and he also won the title of Duke's official in Wang Jian's army. Wang Jian has been in the same position for several years, but his son Wang Ben's title has been steadily upgraded.
"Meng Ao got a good grandson." Wang Jian thought to himself, but then he thought, my Wang family is not bad either. Ben'er is brave and resourceful, and his grandson Wang Li is smart and clever.
The Wang family and the Meng family were later praised as the two major war families of the Qin Dynasty. The Qin Shihuang Mausoleum built by Ying Zheng also specially created a physical bronze statue for them. However, these two major war families did not have any contact and had a dull relationship. As an outsider, Meng Ao did not live so brightly. When Meng Wu grew up, he married a Qin woman. Meng Tian was born and raised in Qin and was considered a real Qin person. In the Qin army, there were also differences between the local forces of the outsider and the Qin people. After Shang Yang, many people from the six Shandong countries became generals.
The Meng family has truly taken root in Qin for three generations. In addition, Meng Ao is easy-going and loyal to Qin, and has not sought personal interests like some people from the six countries and won the respect of the Qin people. Wang Jian knew in his heart that the Meng family had gained the trust of the King of Qin. It was because of the trust of the King of Qin that Wang Jian could not get too close to the Meng family. Those who are capable have their own arrogance. Wang Jian is low-key and cautious, but it does not prove that he does not have his own arrogance. He believes that with his own ability, the King of Qin will always show the glory of Wang Jian.
Meng Tian didn't know what Wang Jian was thinking, but he was extremely clear about Wang Jian's ability. A good fighter had no great achievements. He was talking about a general like Wang Jian. As long as Wang Jian led his troops to fight, the monarch would have guaranteed good logistics. Even if Wang Jian did not win, he would not have a big defeat. Unlike some generals, they would either win or lose, which would make the kings in the rear frightened. Knowledge can be obtained, but wisdom can only be achieved by perception. Even if he had more experience in his previous life, Meng Tian did not think that the wisdom of using troops was comparable to Wang Jian. This time he came to receive the rebels, in addition to training a disciplined army, he also wanted to observe Wang Jian's art of using troops at a close distance.
"Meng Tian meets General Wang!" Meng Tian sincerely admires Old Man Wang. It is really amazing that the Wang father and son destroyed the five countries and could still start and end with Ying Zheng.
"I dare not take it, I dare not take it!" Wang Jian had never contacted Meng Tian. All the children of the generals were somewhat arrogant, just like his grandson Wang Li. As the saying goes, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. The Meng family's status at this time was much more glorious than Wang Jian, but Meng Tian was so humble. "You are the messenger of the king, and you can't worship it, you can't worship it!"
"Meng Tian is responsible for rectifying the rebels, but the king's will is clear. The commander of the army is still the general of the king. Meng Tian naturally has to meet the commander of the master and obey the commander of the master."
Fan Yuqi's rebellion disrupted the Qin State's plan to conquer the Eastern Zhou State. After the rebellion was quelled, Ying Zheng ordered Wang Jian to continue the original plan of conquering the Eastern Zhou State. After this incident, the contribution of the attack and destruction of the Eastern Zhou State fell on Wang Jian's head. No matter how small the Eastern Zhou State is, it is also a contribution to destroying the country. When Wang Jian returns to the country and meets Ying Zheng, with Ying Zheng's knowledge of people, Wang Jian's talent will soon be revealed.
Wang Jian's spring is coming! The Wang family will rise rapidly in the future. Perhaps because of Meng Tian's appearance, there will be no grand occasion of three marquises. However, Ying Zheng is not stingy with the rewards to his subordinates, and at least one marquis Che cannot escape.
After the order was handed over, Meng Tian did not rush to leave, but stayed in the Central Army camp to attend Wang Jian's military meeting.
There is a famous saying among the Jews that when doing business with anyone, you should treat it as your first time with a stranger. When Wang Jian was in a war, he would leave a word about military tactics, that is, any battle should be treated as a battle of life and death.
The Eastern Zhou Dynasty was declining, with only 30,000 soldiers in total, and there were many powerful men who were temporarily recruited. But Wang Jian did not underestimate this opponent at all. He called Yang Duanhe, Xin Sheng, Wang Ben and others to formulate a detailed military plan on how to attack the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. He was not arrogant, learned from others' strengths, and gathered ideas. He was truly a good general of the country!
However, Meng Tian did not see Li Xin who dared to fight and rush. After Li Xin left the palace, he joined Wang Jian's command. He should be the commander of Wang Ben. He made military achievements when he followed Wang Ben. Li Xin was only twenty-four years old at this time. As a soldier, he was too young, and his father was not Wang Jian. Wang Ben was different. Every time he negotiated, Wang Jian would call Wang Ben to train Wang Ben.
Wang Jian had some selfishness, which Meng Tian could understand. Compared with the retainers of the Meng family, Meng Tian was also trained by the Meng family. When Li Ka-shing held the board meeting, Li Zeju and Li Zekai attended the audience, which was the same. In any era, having a good background will be of great help, no matter which country it is in. Thinking about it, there was a bad guy who traveled through time and became a black man, and he needed real swords and guns to fight for his life, and he had become one of the few young generals in the history of the Qin State. Although his current title was not updated, he would not have so many life threatening to upgrade in the future.
Originally, Gan Luo should have defected to Lu Buwei. In order to restore the honor of the Gan family, he racked his brains to offer advice and became prime minister at the age of twelve. After joining the Meng family, Gan Luo accepted Meng Tian's accumulated suggestions, but made Meng Tian famous for his youth. Meng Tian guarded Ying Zheng and killed the assassin. When he suppressed the rebellion, he guarded the palace and barely won the title. After Meng Ao was defeated, he lost the title. If nothing unexpected happened, Meng Yi would inherit Meng Wu's title in the future, and Meng Tian could only rely on himself to fight.
Wang Jian's use of troops has an important characteristic, which is very similar to Zhukov in later generations. His soldiers must be extra on his opponents. Otherwise, although Wang Jian would not be defeated, it would be difficult to win a battle. Perhaps this is also the reason why Wang Jian's reputation was not obvious. When attacking Zhao, Yan and Chu, Wang Jian's soldiers were strong and had an absolute advantage, so it seemed natural to win. The coaches of many well-known teams were often ridiculed as a dog-tie. People often appreciated the generals who defeated the superior enemy with their disadvantages.
If Li Xin could destroy Chu for 200,000, Li Xin's reputation would definitely be higher than Wang Jian. Unfortunately, Li Xin failed.
As Wang Jian's plan gradually took shape, Meng Tian gradually understood. Wang Jian used troops and paid great attention to ensuring logistics and flanking. The Eastern Zhou Dynasty was in the cracks between many countries, including Zhao State in the north, South Korea State in the south, and Chu State in the east. One was not good and was easily attacked by flanks. After the army broke in half, it was easy to ignore each other.
"Meng Tian, how long does it take for you to train the army?" Wang Jian asked.
"Half a month." Victory is not expensive for a long time. The longer the time is, the more materials you consume will be.
"There are 80,000 troops that need training. After you complete the training, go south to Yangdi to guard against Han Chu!"
"Meng Tian takes the order!"
"Wang Ben, you lead your troops northward and guard against the Zhao army along the Yellow River area toward the south."
"Wang Ben received the order!"
"Xin Sheng, you are responsible for defending the Wei State!"
"Yang Duanhe and our generals will take the Eastern Zhou Dynasty directly!"
