Chapter 178 Returning To Xianyang, Farewell To Wang Jian (Subscription)
When winter was approaching, Zhao Yu prepared to leave the camp and return as planned.
Because the general Wang Jian was stationed at the border gate and could not escape for a while, the first emperor’s secret letter revealed that Wang Ben, the son of Wang Jian, would come to take over Zhao Yu’s defense.
On this day, the former pawns came to report that Wang Ben’s team only needed half a day to arrive at the camp.
Zhao Yu hurriedly called Han Xin, Liu Bang and others. He had already thought about it. When returning to Xianyang this time, Han Xin and Liu Bang wanted to keep one person, not to monitor Wang Ben, but to worry that the city under construction would be dragged down by Wang Ben. , delaying the progress of the project.
“I have made up my mind, General Liu Bang and I will return to Xianyang, and General Han, you are still stationed here.” Zhao Yu said, “His Majesty’s official text only mentions my department, and we have room to maneuver.
Zhao Yu walked up to the letter from Han “Zero 30”: “General Han, you are the only one left here. You have a heavy responsibility on your shoulders, and you must not let the city’s construction be hindered.”
Han Xin had already heard about the relationship between Wang Ben and Zhao Yu. Although Wang Ben also made many military exploits, he was still a little bit worse. Compared with Zhao Yu, this man was a little narrow-minded.
“Don’t worry, Commander, with me, Han Xin, the construction of this city will not be delayed. 99
“Okay, I have a word, I will take a reassurance, then Wang Ben will be there right away, go, and go out with me to meet him.”
The construction of the city in the former place of the Xiongnu, although Zhao Yu has introduced it many times in the secret letter with the first emperor, and also mentioned it many times in the exchange of official documents, but it is only a brief overview. In terms of progress and scale, on paper His expressiveness is still far from what he has seen with his own eyes.
Wang Ben had already taken over with Zhao Yu’s courier, knowing that his deployment was ahead.
But when the mighty army crossed the Gobi and saw the city that had already laid its foundation in the distance, but was still gradually rising up amid the loud noise, he was like a scumbag who had never seen the world.
Only standing in the distance can you appreciate the majesty of the city.
Wang Ben rode on a horse, and when he saw the city from a distance, his whole body turned into a stone sculpture.
“Looking at this civil construction, the scale here is actually bigger than Xianyang City, so how did Zhao Yu do it?”
“And those strange things over there, what are they?”
Seeing the cement production equipment and iron smelting furnaces next to various ores and ironware, Wang Ben had nothing to say. He thought a lot about what to say if he met Zhao Yu along the way.
At this point, I just feel that I am out of words.
“I never imagined that Zhao Yu, who was rumored in the dynasty, was going to build a city here on such a scale, did the first emperor ever know?”
Wang Ben felt that it was necessary to write a letter to count Zhao Yu’s crimes, and to raise troops to build a city of this size, Xianyang was already short of labor, and even put the First Emperor at the end….
Wang Ben smiled coldly and slapped his horse forward.
“General Wang!” Zhao Yu stepped forward to greet him.
However, Wang Ben turned a blind eye to him, and his eyes fell on his tent. Fortunately, Li Zhishuang and Wang Mengning were both in uniform, otherwise, Zhao Yu would be punished if one marched with a female.
“Hey, General Zhao, you don’t raise your troops to the west, but you waste your time here.” Wang Ben said.
Zhao Yu was angry, but still had that smile on his face, “General Wang, let’s go to the military tent first. 99
Wang Ben recalled what he had seen and heard on the way, and asked, “General Zhao, what are those things that eat stones, and where do they come from?
Zhao Yu didn’t give Wang Ben a good look this time, and only said, “That’s not what General Wang should worry about.”
He explained the words directly, he must leave enough leeway for Han Xin, otherwise, as soon as he leaves, everything will be over.
“General Wang, this time His Majesty called me back to Xianyang, and he also explained a little, saying that the fortifications here cannot be delayed. According to His Majesty’s wishes, I asked General Han Xinhan to stay. Brother Wang, do you have anything to say? 99
Han Xin was originally Zhao Yu’s direct subordinate army, and Wang Ben was separated by a faction and had his own military status. In this way, of course, he could not command Han Xin according to his own wishes.
“Hmph, take care of yourself and see how you will face your majesty when you return to Xianyang. 35
“Hehe, Brother Wang doesn’t need to worry about it.” Zhao Yu finally came to Han Xin, and there was a sentence, with a lot of worry, that must be made clear, he called Han Xin aside and said, “Han Xin General, according to what I know about Wang Ben, this fellow will definitely enter the Yuezhi country westward, what should you do?””
Han Xin thought about it and said, “I should still focus on local construction.”
Zhao Yu was relieved and said: “If Wang Ben is in danger, you can save it or not, I’m not in front of the battle, it’s up to you…
Han Xin replied, “Don’t worry, Commander, I can introspect myself. 35
Zhao Yu smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I took Liu Bang back because I was afraid that he and Wang Ben had been in a relationship for a long time and had a hookup. This time back in Xianyang, I will fight for your general’s merits. 35
The words were all relaxed, and Han Xin naturally laughed along with him: “There is a boss.”
The two returned to the front of the army before and after, Zhao Yu told Liu Tong again, and divided him and his own troops into Han Xin’s command.
When the food was properly prepared, Zhao Yu said to Wang Ben: “This time when I return to Xianyang, I want to escort two-thirds of the slaves of the Xiongnu, and it is also for the emperor to share the worries and solve the problems.
Wang Ben’s behavior, this kind of Huns have long been killed.
But Zhao Yu was better than him in that he had to let the Huns work first, and then they were all buried in the pits.
The mighty army escorted more than 600,000 Xiongnu slaves from the desert Gobi to the southeast of Xianyang.
This road is the territory of the Qin Dynasty, and the army is not afraid of the robbery of the snitch. On the way, when encountering foreigners and people of the Qin Dynasty, Zhao Yu will also let his subordinates escort them for a while.
Li Zhishuang and Wang Mengning had been looking forward to returning to Xianyang for a long time. Before the military formation, they could smell the man’s smell on their brother Zhao Yu every day, but they couldn’t learn from each other. It was really a torment.
Seeing Xianyang approaching, Wang Mengning and Zhao Yu said, “Master, what do you think Your Majesty will reward you when you return to the city this time?
Zhao Yu thought to himself: “My official, Marquis Che, has long since entered nowhere. Could it be that the emperor will pass the throne to me?”
But on the face, Zhao Yu laughed and said to Wang Mengning: “How can we guess your majesty’s thoughts, but I think it would be good to reward me with a group of beauties.
Although she knew that Zhao Yu was joking in front of herself, Wang Mengning’s heart skipped a beat. After a while, her face turned red. In front of many marching men, she couldn’t argue, but she suffocated the little girl.
When the chariots and horses climbed the mountains and mountains, and when they returned to Xianyang several dozen miles away, Zhao Yu ordered the whole army to set up camp, and then ordered Liu Bang to be the herald, and handed a handwritten letter to the first emperor.
