Chapter 404: Court Meeting (2)

"Lun Hou Jian is here!"

The sun rose and the sky was bright. On the road to the east, a loud singing voice came from the palace gate.

The people in front of the palace gate stopped talking unconsciously, retreated, bowed slightly, and welcomed the bronze golden chariot that was slowly coming.

The four horses galloped in a brown body, without a single hair, and were sniffing loudly, making them look very handsome.

The person in the car was a little hunched, covered in silver frost, his eyes were blurred, and he was sleepy and anxious, and he looked old. However, no one dared to underestimate this old man. Although others were old, every hair on his body seemed to exude something called respectable.

This man is Wang Jian, the general with the highest military merits in Qin State, and is also the teacher of the current King of Qin.

Everyone understands that as long as Wang Jian lives to the day he rewards merits, the Wang family will inevitably be the position of Marquis.

"Gen. Wang is early!"

······

Yang Duanhe, Xin Sheng and others moved forward, protected the car and saluted Wang Jian.

When the people in the army see their old superiors, no matter how rebellious the general is, they must put away their tails and behave obediently. As soon as Wang Jian came forward, the generals of the Qin army thought in their hearts that when they were seeking credit from the king, there would be no worries that no one would speak for them.

"Meng Tian, ​​younger generation, have met General Wang."

Meng Tian once participated in the battle against Han under Wang Jian's command. With Wang Jian's qualifications, Meng Tian did not take credit and treated Wang Jian very humbly.

"There are successors of the Meng family, and the younger generation is terrifying. Qin State is very lucky and the king is very lucky."

Wang Jian stretched out his hand, Xin Sheng and Yang Duanhe came up, one left and one right, and helped Wang Jian get off the carriage, less than one step away from Meng Tian.

"Prepare to enter the palace. Since I returned to Pinyang, I haven't been to Xianyang Palace again for a long time. I've become a little unfamiliar with this journey."

Wang Jian flew past Meng Tian directly, without saying much to Meng Tian.

This old man is still a little nervous inside.

Meng Tian shook his head helplessly.

Before the battle against Chu, Wang Jian insisted that he could not destroy Chu even if he had to 600,000 yuan. Li Xin was so arrogant that he made a bold statement to destroy Chu 200,000 yuan. After weighing the pros and cons, Ying Zheng appointed Li Xin as the chief general of attacking Chu, Meng Tian as the deputy general, and led his army to attack Chu.

The Qin army won first and then lost. Li Xin was rebelled by Changpingjun and unfortunately died. Meng Tian succeeded as the chief general, stabilized the defense lines in the areas of Weixian, Chenxian and Chengfu, and dragged Xiang Yan tightly. When Xiang Yan was poor in food and grass and his morale was low, Meng Tian decisively led his army to counterattack, defeated Xiang Yan, successfully crossed the Huai River, and captured Shouying.

The news of the attack and destruction of Chu was sent back to Xianyang. Ying Zheng was happy and talked about Wang Jian. Li Xinyu's preface was correct, and he seemed to sigh that Wang Jian became less courageous as he grew older, and he was not as brave as Li Xin, and Meng Tian was brave.

Wang Jian joined the army since he was a child and led troops to fight for the rest of his life. When he was in his old age, he became known as cowardly. Wang Jian felt a little disliked Li Xin and Meng Tian. Li Xin died in battle, and the living people did not care about the dead. This dislike was finally concentrated on Meng Tian.

He teased his grandson and taught Wang Li in his spare time. Wang Jian thought that Li Xin would be defeated in attacking Chu, and Ying Zheng would compromise with him and appointed him as the general of attacking Chu. Unexpectedly, the situation of death would be revitalized by Meng Tian.

"Yang Wengzi, what did you just say to Meng Tian?"

After setting a distance from everyone behind him, Wang Jian asked softly.

"I just asked Meng Tian, ​​there will be news in the palace about merit."

In front of Wang Jian, Yang Duanhe dared not call himself an old man.

"What do Meng Tian say?" Xin Sheng asked in a low voice.

The Qin State's war to attack the six countries was over, and the Qin army's contributions were unprecedented. The generals who led troops to conquer the six countries would definitely be famous in history. Yang Duanhe and Xin Sheng, as Wang Jian's deputy general, helped Wang Jian to conquer the Three Jins, made great contributions. I don't know what kind of rewards they would receive in the end, but waiting like this, the two of them could not hold back.

"What else can Meng Tian say? He just said that the king would not treat me badly."

Thinking of Meng Tian's lack of oil and salt in his arms and secretly vigilant, Yang Duanhe felt very unhappy.

"This kid Meng Tian is so cunning, you won't be the sword envoy."

Wang Jian smiled, stepped over the palace gate, looked up at the steps of 108 levels in front of Xianyang Palace, and said intimately: What kind of title will the king give me Wang Jian?

Wang Jian was one step away from reaching the top of the 20th military title. When he was facing this highest honor of the Qin people, when he really faced it, Wang Jian's always calm heart couldn't help but ripples appeared.

Since Ying Zheng ascended the throne, Ying Zheng has never been stingy with the low-level title. During the severe drought in Guanzhong, Qianshou had a thousand stones of grain and could be awarded the first level of title. The more the five major officials, the more the title goes, the more cautious the government will give it to the title.

It is not easy to be a general of Ying Zheng, and it is not easy to be a marquis. Later, Emperor Wu of Han was in power and generals led troops to fight. He had a decent contribution and could almost all be a marquis. In the end, the enemy's internal affairs, the marquis of Guannei were all over the ground, and there were many marquises as many as dogs.

"What is General Meng thinking? Why haven't he entered yet?"

Meng Tian had just come to his senses when Li Xun's voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"General Li, have you returned to Xianyang too?"

Li Xun led the Bashulou boatman and Meng Tian to pacify the south of the Chu State, and then followed the canal and went north to Qi to transport grain. The two got along quite well.

"I'm old and can't accept my old age. The water on the boat is heavy. When it rains, my whole body hurts, especially my legs, so that it almost penetrates my bone marrow."

Li Xun tightened his deer fur tightly and smiled heartily: "This time I went back to Xianyang, the king prepared a house covering an area of ​​nearly 100 acres for me, and I will stay in Xianyang to enjoy happiness in the future. Wouldn't it be fun?"

When the two saw it was not early, they followed Wang Jian and his party and quickly walked into Xianyang Palace.

When he arrived in front of the main hall of Xianyang Palace, he climbed up the stairs. Meng Tian looked at Wang Jian, Yang Duanhe, Xin Sheng, Li Xun and others with the light from the corner of his eyes.

Since the reign of King Zhaoxiang, they have been in the Qin army and have seen the style of Wu'an Jun Bai Qi from afar. When Ying Zheng took power, he was appreciated, led the army, and made contributions to unifying the world.

Time passes like this. In the face of time, Wang Jian, Yang Duanhe and others cannot withstand the invasion of time and gradually grow old, leaving only the still brilliant dusk.

The sunset is extremely beautiful, but it is almost dusk.

After this grand ceremony, rewards on merits may be the final glory of the veterans of Qin. After the unification of Qin, the veterans succeeded and died silently in the wealthy and noble mansion, leaving no more wonderful records.

The Qin kings of all generations have been passed down from generation to generation, secretly guarding against veterans with excessive prestige. Veterans of Qin will not be in charge for a long time.

Sima Cuo guarded Bashu, and Bashu was not in chaos and integrated into Qin. When he was old, Sima Cuo returned to Xianyang to spend his old age.

Wu'an Jun Bai Qi, who was invincible in his life, became the war god of the Qin army. After his founding of the king, King Zhaoxiang left Bai Qi in Xianyang and would rather use his younger generations such as Wang Feng than Bai Qi make another contribution.

Meng Tian sighed secretly that these generals, when they meet a monarch like Ying Zheng, display their talents with all their might. They have no risk of life and naturally grow old may be the best ending.
