"Ah? General Wang Jian surrendered to the king and returned home? And the king agreed to let General Wang Jian leave here?" Li Xin, who was busy preparing for military affairs, stood up in disbelief after hearing the news.

"That's right, this is the exact news I just got. Just this morning, General Wang Jian took the tiger talisman to meet the king. At first, I thought it was General Wang Jian who was going to ask the king to ask you to go to the state of Chu. As a result...ah!" Meng Yi sighed deeply. Although the purpose of the Meng family's support from the king is to gradually replace Wang Jian's unrivaled prestige in the army, this does not hinder Meng Yi's admiration for Wang Jian, a veteran who has been dominating the battlefield for decades.

Li Xin threw the bamboo slips in his hand aside and walked to Meng Yi and said anxiously: "General Wang Jian is the pillar of my Great Qin. The reason why I Great Qin has been able to do everything in the series of battles of swallowing Han, destroying Zhao, attacking Wei and attacking Yan over the years is because General Wang Jian was planning hard behind his back! What did the king think? How could he agree to let General Wang Jian retire and return home at the critical moment of his impending attack on Chu?"

"Brother Li is careful! No matter what the king thinks, it is not something you and I can comment! Now the army's preparations for the expedition have been basically completed. If the king knows that you complain, you may not say that the king will take back the tiger talisman in your hand!!" Meng Yi first walked out of the door and looked around. After finding that there was no one, he breathed a sigh of relief and turned to preach to Li Xin.

Li Xin kicked over the incense burner placed beside him, and his face distorted slightly, shouted at Meng Yi: "What I began to plan is to lead two armies with General Wang Jian, attack Chu in two ways and finally complete the encirclement of the Chu army. You also know that it is time to send troops, but General Wang Jian is coming to retire and return home! How do you tell me to be cautious?"

Meng Yi shook his head and placed the incense burner that fell to the ground in place: "Although your plan is good, in my opinion, even if General Wang Jian did not retire this time, after receiving your transfer order, he would refuse your transfer order on the grounds of being sick. So instead of being furious here, you might as well choose a new candidate as the deputy general of the sidewalk to attack Chu this time."

Li Xin punched the pillar in the room and said irritably: "Do you think I don't know what you are saying? The plan to attack Chu was planned when I was in Yan State. General Wang Jian was already a little dissatisfied with me because of some reasons. How could I include General Wang Jian as the candidate for the branch general when I was in command of the troops?

Originally, the best candidate for the generals of the branch were your brother Meng Tian or your father Meng Wu. But when I returned to Xianyang, I learned that Meng Tian and your father Meng Wu had been sent by the king to attack Wei State with Wang Ben. But you, Meng Yi, was left in the palace by the king, and could not go to the army with the army. I had no choice but to let General Wang Jian be the commander of the army on this side. I even decided that in order to invite General Wang Jian out, even if I pleaded with a low attitude to General Wang Jian's mansion several times, I guess General Wang Jian would not refuse me because of his efforts for the Qin Dynasty.

However, now General Wang Jian has resigned and returned home! In a short period of time, how can you find someone who has the prestige to command 100,000 Qin soldiers and is also capable of completing my strategic deployment after entering Chu?"

After hearing Li Xin's words, Meng Yi learned about Li Xin's mood at this time. Now Li Xin, his brother Meng Tian and himself are the rising people who have been fully supported by the king. Compared with General Wang Jian and the veterans in his army who have followed General Wang Jian for decades to fight, they are inevitably unable to convince the public.

However, Li Xin won the battle for the head coach of Chu this time, which was nothing, but when the army was about to go to fight, he encountered General Wang Jian's revenge and return home. It is conceivable that those veterans would point their resentment to Li Xin, the person who seized the position of General Wang Jian, would definitely be extremely difficult to get the help of these veterans.

"You go and meet the king and ask if the king can mobilize some generals from the Wei State to come back." Meng Yi finally could only tell Li Xin in this way. As long as he transfers his elder brother Meng Tian or his father Meng Wu and some of their generals from the Wei State, the crisis caused by General Wang Jian's retirement and returning home will naturally be defeated.

"This is the only thing now." Li Xin nodded helplessly. As long as King Ying Zheng of Qin was willing to order one of Meng Yi's father and brother to be transferred, his plan could be implemented.

"King, General Meng Yi and General Li Xin are asking for a meeting." A black-armored soldier reported loudly outside the hall.

"Meng Yi and Li Xin? Let them go to the side hall to wait." Ying Zheng, who was reviewing the official documents, said without raising his head.

"As for the order." The black armored sharpie bowed and slowly retreated.

After a long time, Ying Zheng put down the bamboo slips in his hand, and then stood up and walked towards the side hall.

"Greetings to the king!" Meng Yi and Li Xin, who had been waiting in the side hall, saw Ying Zheng strode and hurried forward to greet him.

"Tell me, are you here because of Wang Jian?" Ying Zheng asked with a facial expression.

Li Xin and Meng Yi looked at each other before Li Xin stepped forward and said, "Although we have some relationship with General Wang Jian, we have more problems with the Southern Expedition to Chu State this time. "

"Well? What happened to the southern expedition to Chu State? Could it be that you think there are not enough troops and horses, so you are here to ask me for someone?" Ying Zheng stared at Li Xin with his eyes wide open.

Li Xin shook his head: "It's not that there are not enough troops, but that there are not enough generals."

"Absurd! I have more than a thousand generals in the Qin Dynasty. Is there no one who can use it after Wang Jian retires and returns to his hometown?" Ying Zheng slapped his desk suddenly, stood up and scolded Li Xin angrily.

ps: Hehe, I will definitely not use the historical setting to carry out the southern expedition. Lu Bu will definitely have a role. Well, I spoiled it in advance (*^__^*)
