Daqin Engineers

Chapter 208

In fact, Wang Ben came after a discussion with Wang Jian in Handan.

It was when Wang Ben had just turned seventeen and changed his disciple to join the army.

He originally thought he could show his talents in the battle with his father, but after arriving in Handan, he knew that everyone was wise and Wang Jian was old enough to fight.

Wang Ben was puzzled. He knew that although his father was old, he was far from "not enough to fight."

Wang Ben also said that Wang Jian was injured, so he rushed to visit him anxiously.

I didn't want Wang Jian, but he sat down in his casual clothes and wrote on paper in a calm and relaxed manner. While writing, he muttered to himself:

"Sure enough it's a good thing."

"Wonderful!"

Wang Ben stepped forward to meet, and then asked carefully:

"Father is unwell?"

Wang Jian replied:

"Have never been unwell."

Wang Ben asked again:

"Then why..."

Wang Jian smiled:

"You want to ask, why is it not me, Wang Jian, but Yang Duanhe who led the attack on Chu?"

Wang Ben did not speak and tacitly agreed.

Wang Jian put down the brush, got up and walked a few steps, and said:

"The King, the King of Ming."

"Six nations under the world, my Wang Jian has already destroyed the third. Isn't Qin only Wang Jian available?"

"Even if the king doesn't think about it, how can the officials not look at me?"

"Qin people are martial arts, and they regard military merits as more than life. If all the people say that they are gold, they all say that the Wang family's merits are caused by the king's favoritism, and the group generals are not used by the Qin king..."

"How can my Wang family be peaceful then?"

After these words, Wang Ben could understand it. His father was worried about his high merits, and on the other hand, he was also worried that the tree might attract the wind and make people jealous.

The young and energetic Wang Ben couldn't help but ask:

"Father, considering his own safety, did he intend to give in?"

Wang Jian replied:

"If it's good for the country, what's the point of giving in? Don't you see Lin Xiangru?"

Wang Ben asked:

"Lin Xiang is like the sum of the generals, but his father retreats to avoid fighting!"

"If you ask Daqin who is better to attack Chu, you must be your father."

"Then Yang Duanhe is wise and brave, but his strategy is far from his father. How can he take on the great responsibility of Chu?"

"If Yang Duan and Mie Chu return without a major defeat, how can it be beneficial to the country?"

Wang Jian patiently listened to Wang Ben's words, and nodded while listening.

He was not angry because of Wang Ben's contradiction. In fact, he was very pleased because Wang Ben knew a lot about the war even though he was in Xianyang, and even knew that Yang Duanhe lacked strategy.

Based on this alone, Wang Jian knew that Wang Ben was not studying and talking about soldiers during this period of time.

After Wang Ben finished speaking, Wang Jian replied:

"Yang Duanhe is indeed inadequate, but with Shen Bing's help, it is not clear who will die in this battle."

"I thought that from what my father saw, I, Wang Jian, must destroy Chu's 400,000 army, and even the 400,000 army is not enough.

"But Yang Duanhe and Shen Bing...200,000 may be able to destroy Chu."

"Why isn't this good for the country?"

Wang Ben couldn't help being shocked.

Wang Ben knows that his father has always been arrogant and has never been willing to live in the battlefield. If anyone makes his father respectful, it is Li Mu of Zhao Guo.

But that's just respect, but it's not like this... Wang Jian needs 400,000 troops to destroy Chu, so Shen Bing can do it with 200,000 troops?

In this tone, he almost raised the white flag at Shen Bing's five bodies.

Seeing Wang Ben's expression, Wang Jian said:

"No wonder you don't know."

"Shen Bing has only served as deputy general within these few months."

Wang Ben replied:

"I know this person."

"But what I know is that his lieutenant of the water army defeated the Chu army's 10,000 navy army with three thousand black armies."

"However, there have been countless battles with fewer wins over the ages."

"What's more, the Shen soldiers occupy the dangerous upper reaches in the battle of Qiancheng, and the actual force is more than 5,000 people, even if it is won, it will not be considered a prize."

Wang Jian smiled and shook his head:

"You think Shen Bing is so simple?"

"Well, if you just came here and just have nowhere to work, go to Shen Bingzhi to ask for an errand!"

Wang Ben has no objection to this. He is also about to show his skills on the battlefield. As long as it is a front-line army, whether it is Mengwu or sinking soldiers, he will always come.

So Wang Ben took more than a hundred of his guards and reported that he caught up with Shen Bing's troops on Starry Night.

Bringing more than a hundred guards to the battlefield is the standard for the children of nobles.

The children of the nobles who have returned from school usually serve as five-hundred masters or two-five-hundred masters after entering the army. If the guards are 10% of the guards, they themselves can bring 50 to 100 guards.

It's just that the grassroots class has no private soldiers, just like Shen Bing, who can only wait for distribution or call on their own.

The children of the nobles have private soldiers, and the private soldiers are familiar and elite, so they naturally don't worry about using ordinary troops as their guards.

From a national perspective, the children of the nobility bring their own private soldiers into battle as a supplement to the strength of the troops and the military's combat power, of course, there is no objection.

If you are powerful and powerful, you can bring more private soldiers as your guards, such as Meng Liang's.

Shen Bing was first overjoyed when he received Wang Jian's official document. This is a good general, and Shen Bing is worried that no one can use it!

But then it will be difficult. Qin Jun is promoted with military merit, so Wang Ben can't let him be a captain as soon as he arrives!

So, is Wang Ben to be placed in the Liang Army or the Black Armour?

So Shen Bing asked people to recruit Wang Ben.

Although Wang Ben was dissatisfied with Shen Bing, he was still very thorough in etiquette. As soon as he got in, he said:

"Subordinates, see lieutenant."

"The subordinate came to serve on the order of my father, because he was worried that the deputy general was busy on official business and wanted to see him in the future."

"Hope the lieutenant will forgive me."

Shen Bing looked at Wang Ben a few more times. It was indeed a talent, and he was a tall man at the age of seventeen... The noble children had good food and started military training since they were young. People.

If this is put in modern times, the gap may not be big, but in this era, one is to cultivate since childhood and the other is to be hungry and malnourished to worry about being starved to death.

Shen Bing praised Wang Ben a few words as usual, and then asked:

"I don't know which unit you want to serve?"

Wang Ben hesitated and replied:

"As a lieutenant, his subordinates can serve in infantry and cavalry. If you like it, you prefer the cavalry."

"But the Liangjun seems to have no cavalry."

Shen Bing replied:

"That's the Black Armored Army, good vision."

Wang Benqi said:

"Isn't the black armour a navy?"

Shen Bing replied:

"The Black Armor is capable of both naval and cavalry."

Wang Ben frowned upon hearing this, and said:

"Should my subordinates be dull, if the navy and cavalry are both connected..."

"Wasn't it a waste of riding skills for the navy? It wasted water warfare for the cavalry?"

Shen Bing said in his heart, this Wang Ben is okay, challenge the authority of the boss on the first day at work?!

But Shen Bing is not such a stingy person, he asked back:

"Suitable heard that you can walk and ride?"

"Wasn't it a waste of riding skills during the battle, and wasting the skill of riding during a battle?"

Wang Ben was speechless for a while.
