Chapter 112 Horrible developments
Wang Ben did not have the arrogance and arrogance of a general, his posture was very low, and even his words were so polite.
"General Li" Wang Ben changed his title.
Indeed, Li Zhao was made a general by the emperor not long ago, so he was naturally a general, but this general was nothing compared to Wang Ben.
"Did we have a break before?" Wang Ben was talking about his sudden departure from Kuaiji Mountain.
Li Zhao smiled, bowed to Wang Ben, and said politely: "Young general has admired Marquis Tongwu for a long time. He longs to be Marquis Tongwu's pawn. How can there be any gap?"
"Haha! General Li has given me the reward. I only have a false reputation." When Li Zhao said this, Wang Ben felt less estranged.
"From now on, we are brothers, and I will call you Brother Li."
After some modesty, the two seemed to become familiar with each other, but Li Zhao always kept a little distance, which made Wang Ben frown again and again.
However, he was a man who had seen the world and didn't take it to heart.
"Brother Li, does he know about the Langya War?"
Li Zhao didn't show much interest. In fact, he knew the outcome of Langya without having to guess. It was just that the bandits were wiped out again, and it ended in a disastrous defeat. After all, the Qin army had reinforcements and powerful weapons, and even more weapons obtained from the bandits.
Thousands of firecrackers.
In fact, on the way out of Kuaiji Mountain, he had already told Wang Ben how to use fire guns. With Wang Ben's many years of combat experience, he would definitely be able to train a fire gun army in a very short time.
will lose.
"The bandits have been destroyed!"
"No!" Wang Ben waved his hand, deliberately trying to whet his appetite.
"No?" Li Zhao was startled, a little unexpected.
Logically speaking, with such favorable conditions, we must win. Why not? Could it be said that the Qin army was defeated? It shouldn't be!
Let alone firecrackers, just a rocket launcher will scare off the bandits.
"Yeah! I don't know why, but when our army arrived at Langya, the bandits escaped after just one round of confrontation. I ordered the deputy general to search for them for three days, but no trace of them was found."
"Escaped?" Li Zhao was surprised.
Thousands of thieves and bandits were besieging Kuaiji Mountain. Their purpose was obvious. They must have reached the point where they would not give up until they achieved their goal. Since they had such a purpose, how could they escape after just one round?
But I thought again and again, this is in line with Zhang Liang's style of not fighting hard. Of course, maybe Wang Ben used the rocket launcher immediately to scare them away.
"Exactly, thanks to the fire gun! This thing is really magical. Just light a fire and it can destroy thieves invisible. It is also a weapon of war."
Wang Ben seemed very interested and even took out a blunderbuss and gunpowder pellets.
"It's just." He frowned the next moment, "It's just that this powdery thing is in short supply. It's a pity."
Then, he looked at Li Zhao with bright eyes, "Brother Li, you are an expert in this field, do you know what this powder is?"
Li Zhao did not tell him, but asked seriously: "Do you want it?"
"Of course!" Wang Ben patted his chest and said with a smile: "If our Qin army has such an endless supply, why worry about the Xiongnu and the remnants? I wonder if Brother Li can part with it and contribute it. Of course, this is a great achievement, and I will do it."
I will report it to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will definitely credit you with the credit."
Wang Ben spoke righteously, but he didn't know that the emperor was critically ill, let alone the upcoming changes in the sand dunes.
To His Majesty? If history remains unchanged, the next His Majesty will be Hu Hai. Will Hu Hai take credit? It would be strange not to add insult to injury.
Li Zhao didn't want to talk about this issue, so he changed the topic and his expression became very serious.
"General, if His Majesty is critically ill in the sand dunes, what do you think the situation will be like?"
Wang Ben saw Li Zhao's solemnity and stopped his smile. He also became very serious. After thinking for a long time, he said: "It must be passed down to the eldest son."
This is also what most courtiers think. After all, it is obvious to all that His Majesty cultivated Fusu.
"What's the relationship between the eldest son and General Meng Tian?" Li Zhao stared at Wang Ben closely.
He wanted to find out whether this person participated in the Dune Coup and murdered Meng Tian as recorded in history.
"If the eldest son succeeds to the throne, General Meng will definitely be the prime minister." Wang Ben said without concealment, but there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes, which was caught by Li Zhao.
"I heard that your prince, General Wang Li, is the deputy general of General Meng. He has made great achievements in battle, but he has always been inferior to others. Don't you feel that you are underestimating your talents?"
This is a probing question.
Wang Ben heard this and glanced at Li Zhao meaningfully. The next moment, his eyes changed in vain, as if he was in June, extremely fierce.
"You know everything?"
The answer was a bit wrong, but Li Zhao was surprised when he heard it. What did he mean by this and what did he know? He was just asking tentatively based on what he knew from history.
"Yes, I know everything." Li Zhao was not afraid of such a wink and followed the topic.
"You didn't participate in the discussion of merit, how did you know about it?" Wang Ben became serious, holding the hilt of the sword tightly in his hand.
Li Zhao's face changed in shock, he quickly took several steps back, quickly reached into his arms with one hand and took out enough Qin Banliang.
As long as Wang Ben dares to mess around, he doesn't mind redeeming it for a big killer weapon.
At the same time, I was filled with doubts. What does this mean? Does participating in the discussion have something to do with knowing? For a moment, my mind was filled with questions.
However, Wang Ben quickly regained his composure and became enthusiastic, "Brother Li, don't be surprised. It's just your response to many years of combat. Hehe! I must have been looking for you from the Zhongche Mansion!"
"We are all brothers, there is no need to be nervous."
Li Zhao did not relax his vigilance and thought about his words. Zhao Gao came to him? What did this mean? In order to clarify, he responded: "Yes, the CRRC government has come to me."
Wang Ben heard this, slowly loosened his hand holding the sword, and breathed out softly, "Now that you know everything, I might as well make it clear. I am not interested in who succeeds, but I am very interested in whether Wang Li will bend his talents.
interest."
The meaning of these words is already obvious. If Wang Li wants to remain unyielding, Meng Tian will have to die.
Li Zhao took a deep breath and secretly said that history was indeed true. For the sake of his son, Wang Ben turned a blind eye to the Dune Coup initiated by Zhao Gao.
It can be heard from these words that Zhao Gao must have approached him and made some persuasive efforts. Needless to say, he should have agreed.
Li Zhao's brows furrowed.
But that’s not right! Zhao Gao came to Wang Ben and Li Si. Judging from historical records, it was after the death of Qin Shihuang. Qin Shihuang was not dead at this moment. How could such a thing happen?
In order to confirm what he was thinking, Li Zhao asked casually: "The CRRC government officials also approached Prime Minister Li?"
"Of course, this matter cannot be done without Prime Minister Li."
really!
Li Zhao frowned even more tightly. The development of this matter seemed to be different from history. Zhao Gao approached the two of them in advance, but that was wrong! Why did Zhao Gao do this? Did he know in advance that Qin Shihuang would die in the sand dunes?
It is impossible for someone who is not a time traveler to know that Qin Shihuang died in a sand dune.
Time traveler?
The next moment, Li Zhao's expression changed wildly, and his heart started to beat loudly.
