"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"
"What else does Prime Minister Lu have to report?" King Zhuang Xiang asked when he saw Lu Buwei standing up.
Lu Buwei bowed slightly and looked at the King of Qin seriously.
"Your Majesty, General Gan Lin of the Qin-Zhao border has reported to me that his arrow injury has relapsed and he is afraid that he will no longer be able to take charge of the border military. Thus, he asked Your Majesty to send another general to guard the border and allow him to return to Xianyang to recuperate.”
"What is it? General Gan's arrow injury has returned?"
The King of Qin looked at Lu Buwei in surprise.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Lu Buwei nodded.
Hearing Lu Buwei's words, many of the officials were surprised.
Why did General Gan Lin's arrow wound suddenly relapse?
The King of Qin lowered his head and pondered for a moment before looking at Lu Buwei.
"Since General Gan Lin is no longer in charge of the border military, I will allow him to return to Xianyang to recuperate. However, the border military is of great importance. I will only be at ease if there is an experienced and loyal general in charge…"
As the King of Qin spoke, he looked around at the ministers and continued,
"I wonder which general do you think is suitable?”
Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard Qin Wang's words.
The general of the border had a large army in his hands!
Which general wouldn't want to hold such a high and powerful position? This was many times better than training a new army and being in charge of city defense.
It could be said that once he became a general of the border, his status and power in the army would skyrocket. Apart from being in the army, he would also benefit greatly in the court and other aspects.
If he were to recommend such an important position, he would definitely do the other party a huge favor!
"Your Majesty, I recommend General Li He. General Li He has experienced hundreds of battles and is calm in the face of danger. He is quite decisive. With him guarding the border, he will definitely ensure the safety of our border!”
Soon, a minister cupped his fists and said loudly.
"General Li He?" The King of Qin nodded slightly as he listened, and then he pondered.
" Your Majesty, I disagree. Although General Li He is decisive, he can't consider the big picture. If the situation at the border changes, I'm afraid General Li He won't be able to deal with it. I think the former deputy general of the Black Dragon Army, General Wei Dai, is more suitable…"
Soon, another official cupped his fists and said.
The King of Qin nodded in agreement, but he did not make a decision immediately.
"Your Majesty, I also think that General Li He is suitable. What has General Li He not experienced? Even if the situation changes, General Li He will be able to handle it with ease…"
Before the King of Qin could speak, another minister stood up to object.
For a moment, many ministers in the hall spoke up, and the court was quite lively.
It was obvious that most of them were recommending soldiers who were close or familiar with them.
The King of Qin frowned slightly as he listened to everyone's speech. As the King of Qin, how could he not know the thoughts of these ministers and generals?
"Alright!"
The King of Qin waved his hand to stop the ministers from speaking. He looked at Lu Buwei, who had remained silent after reporting, and asked,
"Prime Minister Lu, who do you think should be sent to guard this place?”
"This…"
Lu Buwei deliberately hesitated for a moment before replying slowly,
" Your Majesty, I believe that whether it's General Li He or the other generals, their talents are not much different. If they are sent to guard the border, stability will not be a problem, but…"
Lu Buwei hesitated for a moment before he said," It just so happens that General Yang has returned from the Shangdang war and has yet to take command of the military. Moreover, I was just about to report to Your Majesty what kind of military you should take command of!"”
"Why not let General Yang Chen guard the border? General Yang's strength and talent are extraordinary. His reputation has spread throughout the army and he has quite the prestige.”
Hmm?
In the Imperial Court, countless officials looked at Lu Buwei in surprise. They hadn't thought that the Prime Minister would recommend Yang Chen, a young general who had just entered the Imperial Court.
The King of Qin looked at Lu Buwei in surprise, but he was immediately overjoyed.
"Haha, Prime Minister Lu is right. Although General Yang is young, his strength and talent are indeed outstanding.”
After the King of Qin finished speaking, he turned to look at Wang He, Duke Zhuang, Meng Ao, and the other old generals.
"Old Generals, what do you think?”
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Lu is right. I also think that General Yang is suitable. Although General Yang is young, his experience in leading troops is no less than that of a veteran.”
Hearing the King of Qin's words, Wang He glanced at Lu Buwei curiously and took the lead to stand up and speak loudly.
"Good! Prime Minister Lu and Old General Wang both made sense!”
With Lu Buwei's words and Wang He's words, the King of Qin made up his mind instantly. He looked at Yang Chen and smiled.
"Where is General Yang?"
"Your subject is here!"
Yang Chen, who had been silent all this while, stood up instantly.
"General Yang, although you are new to the military, I trust you. Are you willing to go to the border and guard it?”
"I'm willing to guard the border for Great Qin!”
Yang Chen immediately said in a sonorous voice.
"Alright, from today onwards, I appoint you as the general of the Black Dragon Army. You will lead 100,000 elite soldiers of the Black Dragon Army to guard the border!”
The King of Qin was delighted when he heard this and said forcefully.
When the officials below heard this, all of them looked at Yang Chen in amazement and envy.
This was the youngest deputy general in the history of the Qin country. How long had it been since he became a deputy general!
This was his first time leading a military force, and he had actually become a general guarding a border.
This trust, this glory, it was something that made people sigh.
Soon, the court session ended. Yang Chen officially became the general of the Black Dragon Legion, responsible for guarding the border of Qin and Zhao. He rushed to the border to take up his post.
Countless ministers congratulated Yang Chen. The speed at which this young fellow advanced had exceeded their imaginations. Some of the ministers had even taken the initiative to befriend Yang Chen.
Yang Chen smiled as he dealt with them. He did not reject the officials 'intention to befriend him, but he did not appear too intimate either.
The relationship between the officials of the Imperial Court was complicated, and Yang Chen did not want to get too involved.
When the court session ended, Yang Chen went into the palace again. After secretly meeting King Zhuang Xiang, he brought some of his trusted soldiers and rushed to the border, Maling City!
