Chapter 89 Le Yi, Can You Do It?
In this era, time passes very slowly, and it takes at least one month to travel from Xianyang to Linzi.
But this era was very fast, because two months passed after a round trip from Xianyang to Linzi.
Zhao He was in a very happy mood.
When a beautiful wife sits in front of her and has dinner with her, she will be in a happy mood as long as she is a man.
As the saying goes, it’s good to eat, so Zhao He always feels that his appetite has improved significantly in the past two months.
It must be said that although this little queen has just passed away, she has indeed received no less education. After marrying for two months, she managed the harem in an orderly manner and received many praises from the Queen Mother.
Although they cannot sleep in the same hall because they are obeying the temple, the young couple meet every day, so naturally they are much more familiar with each other than when they first got married.
"Is there anything wrong in the palace recently?" Zhao He had nothing to say.
The queen hesitated for a moment and said, "Go back to the king, there is nothing big in the palace. But yesterday the empress dowager went to the child and said something."
Zhao He heard the pause in the queen's tone and looked up strangely: "What's the matter?"
The queen's pretty face suddenly turned red, she lowered her head slightly, her green onion, her tender and tender fingers were tangled uneasyly, and she rubbed for a while before she said: "The Queen Mother said, "Your Majesty, it's time for the king... to be a man. After all, the Wang family needs children."
Although it was very tactful, Zhao He still understood.
Zhao He was a little surprised: "Isn't it a temple period now?"
The queen whispered: "The little boy has three dowry daughters..."
Generally speaking, when marriages between princes and countries are carried out, as long as they are princes and wife or queens, they will dowry some women.
These women are dowry items from the man. After being taken away by the man, they will naturally become wives in the palace, thus helping the woman control the harem.
On the other hand, although the matter of chasing the temple was to prevent green on his head, the beautiful wife was shaking around in front of him but not moving for three months, which was actually a bit anti-human.
What if the man feels uncomfortable and goes out to find another woman? These dowry women are the good answers to this problem.
Zhao He blinked his eyes, and couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart.
Look, in this evil feudal society, if you don’t eat it yourself, your mother and wife will urge you to eat it yourself.
Zhao He said: "Don't worry about this matter, let's talk about it until the temple is over."
Zhao He felt that this was the first time he was with his eldest wife, which was more reliable.
The queen said: "Nei."
For some reason, Zhao He seemed to hear a little joy from the queen's tone of speaking?
A woman.
After dinner, the queen naturally returned to the back hall, while Zhao He went to Xin Palace to ask for a visit to the master's father.
In Xin Palace, Zhao He met his master's father and Xiangbang Feiyi.
The master father said: "Wang'er, the Intelligence Department sent news yesterday. Now Qin Qijun has started to mobilize a large amount of supplies to the border. It seems that the war will break out after the New Year. I'll call you here today to discuss the issue of sending troops."
Zhao He was a little puzzled. Hasn’t he already agreed to send troops?
Fei Yi coughed lightly and said, "It's mainly because of this master general. The master's father wants to listen to the king's opinions."
Zhao He was slightly surprised.
It seems that what he showed in the Battle of Yique was still valued.
Zhao He said without thinking: "In this battle, Le Yi should be the main general."
The Lord's father obviously had predicted this result a long time ago, and did not show any unexpected expressions. He just asked: "Le Yi is really feasible? Wang'er, you have to know that this time there will be not only cavalry, but also a large number of infantry from Jinyang."
"Infantry?" Zhao He was really surprised now.
Most of the Shangjun of Qin State are located on the green Longdong Plateau, so what other infantry do you need?
The master father said seriously: "Since you are going to resist Qin, how can a mere 20,000 or 30,000 cavalry be enough? This time, the widowed father planned to recruit five northern counties, plus the troops of Jinyang and Shangdang, to form a unit with a number of about 70,000 to 80,000 people, and go south to attack Shangjun. After conquering Shangjun, continue to go south to the west of Qin. Hexi is the retreat for Qin to attack Hedong of Wei. As long as this retreat is threatened, Qin will definitely return. In this way, the entire goal of restraining Qin from advancing east can be achieved."
When the master father said this, he looked at Zhao He with bright eyes: "Wang'er, my wife knows that Le Yi is promoted by you. If you want him to be the master, the wife will naturally be fine. But the wife father will ask you here today, Le Yi - do you really have this talent?"
Fei Yi also said beside him: "King, if Le Yi is not talented enough and becomes the chief general, if there is a loss in the war, it will be a loss of the lives of many soldiers in Dazhao. Please think twice."
Zhao He was silent for a while and smiled: "Master, please rest assured, Master Le Yi is the chief general, there is no problem! Not only that, I can also guarantee that Le Yi will be able to win for the Great Zhao!"
The master's father glanced at Zhao He deeply and said, "Very good. Since that's the case, then let's take Le Yi as the main general."
After Zhao He left, Fei Yi was slightly worried and said, "Master, can this Le Yi... really succeed? It would be safer to regard General Niu Jian as the general."
The Lord's father laughed and said, "Fatty, as a king, you must learn the way to know people. But if you say a thousand words, you might as well let him try it yourself and promote some people to use it to see what the outcome is.
Le Yi is also a widowed father. I think there is only one who can defeat Wei Ran. Wang'er's recognition and employment this time should not be too bad."
Fei Yi shook his head slightly and said, "Wei Ran is also quite good at leading troops. It is said that he is not at odds with the Qin general Sima Cuo. The reason why Le Yi was able to defeat Wei Ran last time was probably because Wei Ran was careless and underestimated the enemy. Next time, Wei Ran may not be able to give Le Yi another chance."
The Lord's Father smiled and said, "If things are really as Fei Xiang said, then it is okay to use a failure that has nothing to do with the overall situation to teach the king some lessons."
Fei Yi was silent and sighed lightly for a while.
The truth is this, but... that is the lives of thousands of Zhao Jun.
A general has achieved success and has thousands of bones blew away, but how many innocent soldiers have died of being imprisoned because of the incompetent general?
Zhao He returned to Longtai and ordered people to summon Le Yi.
"Le Yi, I have already communicated with my master's father. When the war begins next year, as the master general, you will lead a large army from Shangjun to attack Qin!"
Le Yi was overjoyed and fell to the ground: "I thank you for yourselves!"
Zhao He smiled and helped Le Yi up and said, "This time, your task is very heavy. You must know that you are allowed to win this battle but not lose!"
Le Yi whispered loudly: "Here!"
Zhao He summoned Miao Xian and asked, "How many sets of steel armor have you made in the workshop now?"
Miao Xian said: "Three hundred sets of finished products have been completed."
"It's only three hundred?" Zhao He frowned slightly.
You know, Zhao He gathered all the elite craftsmen of Zhao State together, and hundreds of craftsmen came to make this thing.
As a result, more than two months have passed and only three hundred sets have been made?
Miao Xian said: "King, the craftsman said that steel armor is a new thing. Although he has experience in casting iron armor, many things need to be studied again, but this output will gradually increase in the future."
Zhao He shook his head and said, "Go and tell Jiangzuo that no matter what method he uses, he must build 500 sets of steel armor within two months and send it to Shangjun, otherwise I will hold him accountable!"
Miao Xian took the order and left.
Zhao He turned his head and said seriously to Le Yi: "General Le Yi, next, I will tell you the idea of fighting heavy cavalry. Of course, I have not personally verified it, so you have to listen to what I said next. After listening, you have to think about it yourself and fight according to the actual situation. You have about two months to train before the war starts next year. I hope that after the war starts next year, you can hear the news of victory from your side!"
Le Yi was equally serious and said respectfully: "Here!"
