Daqin: I was overheard by Zulong

Chapter 174 My Candidate

"I already have someone selected." Ying Zheng smiled and nodded, his eyes couldn't help but glance over the generals in front of him.

The generals of Daqin suddenly became nervous, one or two of them stared wide-eyed, although they all had bruised noses and swollen faces, they still tried their best to show their most spiritual side, and they all believed that they had hope.

Especially Wang Ben and Li Xin stood at the front of the crowd, thinking that the next thing Ying Zheng would announce would be their names.

"I want to confer on Zhao Tuo the title of Great General Conquering the East, leading the Modao Battalion and the Cavalry Legion to attack Donghu!" Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.

"My lord, ah..." Li Xin and Wang Ben were about to thank them, but they were stunned when they heard that the names were wrong.

All the ministers present were also at a loss. After listening for a long time, they heard an unknown name. There were so many generals present, but none of them were selected, and the one selected by Ying Zheng was actually an unknown name.

Zhao Yi was even more surprised after hearing this, and his eyes when he looked at Ying Zheng were full of weirdness.

[Damn, what’s going on?How could the old guy know about Zhao Tuo? It shouldn't be. Didn't he not know Zhao Tuo? 】

[Could it be that Hei Bingtai saw Zhao Tuo and Dongfang Bubai practicing martial arts in the Prince's Mansion recently, which made the old man pay attention to Zhao Tuo, and then planned to promote him?But it won’t! 】

[I don't understand, I don't understand, what the old man is thinking, it doesn't make sense, my bodyguard has become the commander in chief, and he is going to attack Donghu, can the courtiers agree? 】

【However, if Zhao Tuo goes to fight Donghu, he can really get rid of Donghu quickly. If Wang Ben and Li Xin are really going to go, maybe it will be a year or a month before they can be defeated! 】

Hearing Ying Zheng's words, Zhang Han was the most shocked person present, because it was Ying Zheng who asked him to find Zhao Tuo at the beginning, but Zhang Han couldn't find him, but Zhang Han never thought that Ying Zheng was looking for this person just to find Zhao Tuo. Let him conquer Donghu!

Zhang Han had met Zhao Tuo, and he really couldn't understand why His Majesty was so optimistic about a guy who looked a few years younger than himself?When did Da Qin choose its commander so carelessly?
"Who is Zhao Tuo? What do you do? Why haven't you heard of it?" Someone already started asking questions.

Zhang Han heard this and had an idea, "Oh, I heard that this person is the chief guard of the Prince's Mansion. He must be dissatisfied now!"

"What?" Zhang Han's words really detonated the whole place, and the mentality of all the generals collapsed in an instant.

"A little kid with no hair, Your Majesty, are you kidding me? How is this possible!"

"The chief guard of the prince's mansion! Isn't that a child who has never been on the battlefield, how can he be the general of Zhengdong?"

"Your Majesty, you can't. How can you choose generals so hastily to conquer Donghu? Then Zhao Tuo is so virtuous and capable that he can shoulder such an important task?"

The generals were quite confused at first. After all, the name Zhao Tuo was too unfamiliar. Now that they knew that he was just a little boy, he was only the chief guard of the Prince's Mansion, and they couldn't help questioning Ying Zheng one by one.

"This Great Qin is still my world!" Ying Zheng said something quietly, and everyone present fell silent.

"I have decided that Zhao Tuo will be the general to conquer the East. He will lead the Modao Camp and the Cavalry Corps to attack Donghu. From now on, the Modao Camp and the Cavalry Corps will be merged into the Chariot and Cavalry General's Mansion. All expenses will be paid by the prince. The government is responsible."

Originally, Zhao Yi was thinking about how to get benefits from the Donghu war. After all, he said before that he would pay for the Donghu fight, but when he heard Ying Zheng's words, he suddenly became restless.

Whether it is the Modao Battalion or the Cavalry Corps, they are both gold-eating beasts. The Prince's Mansion is responsible for the daily expenses of these two armies. This is the rhythm of poverty!

[Are you kidding? What do you mean, old man?Public revenge? 】

[I didn't even reach out to you, you said you don't care, I'll go, then I'm going to lose money! 】

[If I had known this, I shouldn't have come, and let Yuhuatian chop you up! 】

Rebel!Hearing Zhao Yi's heartfelt feelings, the corners of Ying Zheng's mouth twitched violently. He originally thought of giving him some subsidies, but since he thought so, the subsidies are gone, and he will have a headache!
As soon as the courtiers heard Ying Zheng's words, they had no objection to the selection of General Zhengdong.

Everyone already knew before that the crown prince would have to spend military expenses to attack Donghu. Even though the crown prince said that he wanted to attack all the spoils after the attack on Donghu, but now His Majesty has left all the Modao camp and cavalry regiment to the crown prince, which means that the crown prince has to bear the burden. cover all expenses.

In this way, it seems logical to promote a captain of the bodyguard in the prince's residence.

Even if Wang Ben had nothing to say, everyone could see that the battle against Donghu was apparently fought by some kind of Zhao Tuo, but in fact it was fought by the prince, and Zhao Tuo was just a substitute for the prince.

"Since that's the case, then it's settled. Let's see here today. I'm tired, so go back to the palace!"

Now that what should be seen and what should be said has been said, Ying Zheng was about to return to the palace, leaving Zhao Yi stunned in place.

Ying Zheng didn't hear anything from Zhao Yi just now, and thought he had Zhao Yi under control, but he didn't know that Zhao Yi was just shocked. But after Ying Zheng and others left, his mind immediately became brighter.

"Yuhuatian, arrange it immediately. Within seven days, I need five thousand Mo knives!" Zhao Yi said surprisingly.

"Ah, Your Highness, time is so tight, what if..." Yu Huatian felt a headache.

"Whoever told you not to grow eyes, you dare to do it, this is your punishment!" Zhao Yi snorted coldly, took out a blueprint and threw it to Yuhuatian, "This is the Modao craft drawing, Let the craftsmen build it according to the picture, seven days is enough!"

Hearing Zhao Yi's words, Yu Huatian took the drawings and scanned only one of them. He immediately smiled happily, but at the end he saw an unfamiliar drawing. He couldn't help but asked: "Your Highness, this last drawing …”

"It's the accessories of horseshoe and saddle. We arrange to build them together. Whether we can win the battle with Donghu depends on these things!" Zhao Yi also worked hard to win. After all, it is better to prepare more for the battle. Yes, you can't win alone.

Feng Jie returned to his house. Feng Song and Mrs. Feng happened to be in the living room. They were shocked when they saw their master coming back with a bruised nose and a swollen face.

"Master, what's wrong with you? Why were you beaten like this? Who did it? Why are you so cruel?"

"Father, who is it? Tell me, I'll kill that bastard!"

"Is there any more law for the king? Even the imperial censor of the current dynasty dares to beat him. What kind of blind bastard is he..."

"Okay, okay, stop shouting!" Feng Jie raised his head, waved his hand and said, "Even Your Majesty was almost beaten today, so my little injury is nothing!"
