After bidding farewell to Lady Zhao, Lao Ai headed straight for the camp of Qin army in Xianyang with the tiger talisman and the general seal.
Meanwhile, Concubine Yan and Liu Bai He were dressed as two soldiers and followed Lao Ai.
"Greetings, Marshal!" Chang Wenjun led a group of generals and bowed respectfully to Lao Ai.
Lao Ai chuckled and cupped his fists. I'm only temporarily acting as the general for this expedition!”
Chang Wenjun twirled his beard and grinned.""In the Yangtze River, the new generation will replace the old! I fought for decades to reach this position, but you surpassed me in just a few days! The younger generation is formidable, the younger generation is formidable!"
"Where, where! I was just lucky!" As he spoke, Lao Ai took out the Tiger Tally.
After the inspection, Chang Wenjun handed over the command of the army to Lao Ai.
"These 100,000 Qin soldiers are all elites who have been through hundreds of battles and can sweep the world!”Chang Wenjun said," Marshal Huan, it's your first time leading troops in battle, so it might be a little difficult for you to adapt. Ask General Wang Jian more about everything. He has led troops in battle for nearly twenty years and is very experienced. He will definitely be your good teacher and helpful friend!”
"Lao Ai, thank you for your reminder, First Lieutenant!”
Those who were familiar with history knew that Wang Jian was indeed a famous general. Under his leadership, the Qin army finally swept through the six countries and completed the great cause of unification.
Even without Lu Buwei and Chang Wenjun's advice, Lao Ai would still value Wang Jian.
"Marshal Ling, can we talk in private?”Chang Wenjun smiled.
Lao Ai nodded, then followed Chang Wenjun to a remote corner and dismissed his followers.
Chang Wenjun took out a letter and gently opened it. The handwriting on it was elegant and graceful. It was written by a woman.
"This is…"
"It's a letter written personally by my niece, Queen Zheng.”"She told me about your relationship and said that Chang Ping-Jun and I will cooperate with you and be your subordinates in the future!" Chang Wen-Jun said softly.”
"What? Zheng Huan reacted so quickly?"
Chang Wenjun closed the letter and bowed to Lao Ai solemnly.""Greetings, Lord!"
Lao Ai quickly helped Chang Wenjun up and said in surprise,""Old General, this, how can this be? I-I'm just a teenager!”
Chang Wenjun shook his head." In terms of friendship, you are my niece-in-law. In terms of belonging, you are my lord!" Not only me, but all the Chu people in the Qin country are your subordinates! As long as you give the order, we will all obey without fear of death!”
Chang Wenjun could not stand it, so Lao Ai had to accept it.""Alright then! I'll be your lord for the time being!"
"My lord, your ambition is no less than Ying Zheng's! If we let Ying Zheng unify the world, where would our Chu people's face go? Therefore, we will support you to seize the military and political power of the Qin country and lead the army to the east to unify the Divine Prefecture! Zheng Huan is a member of the royal family of the Chu Kingdom and has a noble bloodline. You are her husband, and your descendants are the legitimate heirs of the King of Chu! It is also because of this that we can serve you! My lord, do you understand?" Chang Wenjun said solemnly.
Damn, he wants me to help Zheng Huan!
Lao Ai thought carefully for a moment, then agreed,""I, Lao Ai, swear that Zheng Huan will be my first wife! The child between her and me will be the future emperor, the ruler of the Central Plains!”
"Thank you, Lord!" Chang Wenjun kowtowed respectfully.
Lao Ai accepted it calmly.
Taking in Chang Wenjun was equivalent to taking in the Chu Faction's forces in the Qin Kingdom, which meant that Lao Ai's strength had a qualitative breakthrough, and he had become a force that could contend with Lu Buwei.
Of course, at this moment, Lao Ai's identity as the boss of Chu Sect could not be made public yet.
Ying Zheng, a native royal family of Qin State, Lu Buwei, a member of the Zhao Faction…
These people were not to be trifled with. Only by obtaining absolute oppressive power could one openly challenge them.
"Tell Lord Changping not to worry!" " I will gradually take control of the military and political power of the State of Qin," Lao Ai said." I will completely take over the King of Qin!" At that time, it would be the day when the dragon flew into the sky and the Son of Heaven descended!”
"If that's the case, this old minister can rest assured! Although Ying Zheng is young, he is the reincarnation of a golden dragon, and his divine might is formidable. If we don't have absolute confidence, we can't clash with him directly!”
"I know!"
——————————————
After chatting with Chang Wenjun for a while, Lao Ai bid farewell to him.
Lao Ai had just returned to the camp with his followers when he bumped into Zhao Gao.
Zhao Gao was the Chief Minister and Military Supervisor, and had the privilege of supervising Lao Ai. He could report to the King of Qin directly, and he had a lot of power.
After becoming a high-ranking official, Zhao Gao's clothes had changed. The purple gold pendant was incomparably gorgeous, and his person had also changed. When he walked, his nose was facing the sky, and his posture was swaying. He was extremely arrogant.
He led a group of imperial guards and came before Lao Ai.
Zhao Gao snorted and said sarcastically,"Lao Ai, what did you say to Chang Wenjun just now?”
Lao Ai yawned and said," We were talking about the affairs of the brothels in Xianyang! Do you want to know? Ask Chang Wenjun!"
After saying that, Lao Ai led his followers past Zhao Gao and left.
Zhao Gao's face was gloomy and his expression was very ugly.
Lao Ai was a fake eunuch, but he was not. He was a real eunuch, the kind who would lose his descendants forever.
Zhao Gao really wanted to tell the King of Qin about Lao Ai's fake eunuch, but this matter involved many people, including Empress Dowager Zhao, Lu Buwei, and others. Besides, the palace had always been a taboo among the royal family. Even if he managed to overthrow Lao Ai in the end, he would still be killed by Ying Zheng.
"Brat, let's wait and see!" Zhao Gao clenched his fists and said fiercely in his heart,"I don't believe I can't catch you! When you have a whip in my hands, I'll tell you to go east, but you won't dare to go west!”
Lao Ai, Concubine Yan, and Liu Bai He returned to the entrance of the camp.
Concubine Yan was a small soldier. She brushed her hair and giggled,""Lao Ai, do you need me to assassinate Zhao Gao now? This guy seems to be jealous of you!”
"No need!" " Hmph!" Lao Ai snorted." That guy will never be able to defeat me!" I'll let him be smug for a while! He'll suffer in the future!"
"Report! The king is holding a farewell ceremony at the north gate. Marshal, please bring your troops over immediately!”A general flew over and said respectfully.
"Got it!" Lao Ai nodded, then raised his flag and summoned all the generals.
Out of the 100,000 elite soldiers, there were hundreds of Generals, and most of them were from powerful families in Great Qin. Their families were hereditary in Great Qin, and they had been Generals for generations.
Of course, one could only continue to maintain their position if they continuously made military contributions. Otherwise, according to the Qin country's military law, they would be demoted.
