When people were in Qin, the advantage was mine

Chapter 8 I'm OK

……

Mengfu.

As the top military master of the Qin State, the Meng family has always been highly used by the King of Qin since Meng Ao. Especially after Bai Qi's death, King Zhao suddenly discovered that the Qin State could not find anyone who could take over. Lieutenant General Bai Qi's Meng Ao also became the helpless best choice.

Especially after King Zhuang came to power, the Meng family became the well-deserved No. 1 in the Qin military.

Of course, that was before.

The battle against Wei initiated by the Qin State at the beginning of the year, due to Meng Ao's strategic mistakes, caused the Qin army to be beaten back to Hangu Pass. After Changping, the Qin State once again faced the situation of being besieged by other countries.

Although this incident was not entirely Meng Ao's fault, this old man, who was over seventy years old, was obviously unwilling to shirk this responsibility.

"Father, Lord Luoyang has sent back the military affairs."

In front of the hospital bed, Meng Wu, as the leader of the new generation of the Meng family, looked at his father with some worry.

Since being recalled to Xianyang, Meng Ao has been bedridden. Although the late king did not blame him before his death, he instead entrusted the Meng family with important responsibilities. However, the Qin State finally recovered after Changping, but because of his mistakes, As a result, Qin State was besieged. Now the 50 troops commanded by Lord Xinling outside the pass are a huge crisis for Qin State.

"Didn't he look?" Meng Ao forced his weak body to sit up.

Before Ying Chen left Xianyang, he had already warned him that Qin was not suitable for conquest at the moment, and even if he wanted to do so, he had to do so steadily. However, the late king was anxious, and so was he.

He is already very old, and his time is short. Although the Meng family is highly valued by the King of Qin, he has never made any real achievements. He seems to have existed as a foil to Wu'an Lord Bai Qi all his life. This time he sent troops Wei Guo, he also wanted to achieve something before he died, but he was anxious.

"The person who sent the military affairs back said that Lord Luoyang was only in charge of the military affairs. These things were not his responsibility. Let Meng Ao handle it by himself. Don't leave it to him." Meng Wu replied.

"Command military affairs..." Meng Ao sighed deeply, a trace of shame flashed across his old face.

"It's me who judges the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain."

The defeat was his responsibility. As the military commander appointed by the late king before his death, Ying Chen could actually use him as a warning to others.

"Father, can Qin win this battle?" Meng Wu asked worriedly.

"If we defend, both the Qin army and the coalition forces will suffer losses. Our Qin country will not be able to move eastward for at least the next 20 years." Meng Ao's face was full of solemnity.

"What if we attack?" Meng Wu asked out of nowhere.

The Qin army currently only has 20 troops, and these 20 troops are already the limit of what Qin can do without damaging their muscles and bones. If there were more, Qin's situation would probably be worse than when the whole country was fighting against Zhao. It would be even more dangerous to start a war in Changping.

"If we attack... I'm afraid he won't want to attack." Meng Ao sighed.

"He? Mr. Luoyang?" Meng Wu asked doubtfully.

"Does father think he can win?"

Meng Ao moved to sit on the edge of the cave, "If we are defending, he may not be as good as you, but if we are attacking... no one in this world can stop him!"

Hearing this, Meng Wu's face was full of surprise. Except for the former Lord Wu An, his father had never made such comments to anyone.

"Father, are you like those in the army who have superstitious beliefs about him because of his relationship with Lord Wu An?" Meng Wu asked suspiciously.

"He is only twenty this year. I'm afraid he doesn't deserve such evaluation."

"Is ability determined by age?" Meng Ao asked. "If this is the case, then Pang Nuan of Zhao State is said to be a hundred years old. Why was he beaten by Lord Wu An until he retired and returned to his hometown?"

Meng Wu was speechless.

However, Ying Chen's achievements over the years, to be honest, in his opinion, or in the eyes of many people in the army, there is a feeling of gold plating, because he is so smooth!

Ying Chen has indeed fought a lot over the years. He is only 20 years old and has already participated in nearly twenty battles, large and small, and won them all. But just because of this weird victory, it always gives people an unreal feeling, as if He was just using his former reputation as Lord Wu An to achieve military success.

Every time he sends out troops, he leaves quickly, wins quickly, and comes back quickly, just like a game, especially after he leads the troops himself!Ying Chen doesn't feel like he's fighting, but like he's going out for a walk, just like when the young master Cheng Jiao went to Korea for a walk, and when he came back, he sealed himself as Lord Chang'an.

When Ying Chen goes to war, he always gives people the feeling that he can do whatever he wants. Anyway, all the generals who are familiar with him have this feeling.

So smooth!Ying Chen fought so smoothly!
It gives people a strong sense of unreality!It’s like it’s fake!
"I asked you to go out with him before to get a feel for it, but you always shied away, saying that the Meng family was loyal to the king. The fate of Lord Wu An in the past was still vivid in his mind. For the sake of the Meng family, you didn't dare to go, but I didn't know yet. What are you thinking about?" A trace of hatred flashed across Meng Ao's face.

"Isn't it embarrassing to let a kid who is more than ten years younger than you ride on your head? Look at what Wang Ben did? That kid followed Luoyang Jun like a follower, every time he went on an expedition. Why do you think you followed him so shamelessly? Do you think that old guy Wang Jian would let his son waste time by following an incompetent person?"

"I..." Meng Wu looked ashamed. He really couldn't bring himself to fight with a child, because it would make him look like a waste.

Meng Ao sighed deeply: "I know you all have this idea, but after so many years, it has been seven years since Lord Wu An died. If he is really just relying on Bai Qi's shadow, , do you think he can establish himself in the army so quickly?"

"Is Bai Qi's reputation really that great? Even if he is dead, can he still make those people follow him blindly and wholeheartedly?"

"The world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit!"

"If there is no profit to be made from Ying Chen, even if Lord Wu An is still here, he will not have the ability to stand in this position! The late king will not entrust an orphan to him and entrust the military of a country to him!"

"But father, he really can't understand the war!" Meng Wu was helpless. How could he not know this? However, something was really wrong with Ying Chen!That guy doesn't follow any routine at all in fighting, or that guy doesn't have any routine at all!It's like fighting randomly, so it gives people the feeling that I can do it even if I'm doing it.

"Can I understand if you can't understand?" Meng Ao retorted confidently.

"..."

Meng Wu was stunned, and Meng Ao continued: "At my age, I can't learn his weird Lao Liu tactics, but you are still young and Tian'er is still young, so can't you learn from him? ?”

"Soldiers are impermanent, and water is impermanent. I am not asking you to learn the tricks, but to learn his ideas. Otherwise, do you want to be like Zhao Kuo back then?"

Although the King of Zhao ordered Zhao Kuo to fight quickly in the Changping Battle, and Zhao Kuo did not know that the commander of the Qin army had been replaced by Bai Qi, Zhao Kuo was still the main responsible person. He was leading the army for the first time and did not realize the dangers of the battlefield. He is eager for success and does not know much about the situation in the army. He thinks that just like talking about military strategy with others at home, the army can do whatever he wants with just his words. How can it be that simple?
Ying Chen followed him to Changping when he was seven years old, and he didn't finally lead the army alone until he was 17 years old. Before that, he had watched, studied, and experienced for ten years, and with that Zhao Kuo is completely two different things.

A good fighter has no great achievements!

Don't be fooled by the superficial appearance of things.

"But, father, he doesn't even look at the military affairs of Hangu Pass, how can he fight?" Meng Wu asked puzzled.

"Isn't this obvious?" Meng Ao, who had been resting for a long time, took a deep breath and stood up from the couch.

"He has no intention of fighting the coalition forces this time!"

He sent the Hangu Pass military affairs to Ying Chen because he wanted to know whether the battle would be fought or not. If Ying Chen read the military affairs and was familiar with the situation at Hangu Pass, it would mean that he was ready to fight the coalition forces.

But now the Hangu Pass military affairs were directly thrown back by Ying Chen without even looking at it. Which general didn't even carefully understand his own situation before going to war?
He still clearly remembers Ying Chen's meticulous and meticulous calculations before the war!
So now there is only one possibility for this kind of performance. This time, the battle at Hangu Pass will not be fought at all.

But, subduing others without fighting?So what does he plan to do?Mr. Xinling is not an ordinary person...
