In the afternoon, in the official residence of Xianyang.
Liu Dao and the others were already packing up and preparing to return to Xianyang tomorrow.
However, he suddenly received an imperial edict from the palace, appointing Liu Dao as Great Qin's unprecedented 'Divine Might General'.
He sent Liu Dao to the north to help Meng Tian and his Meng Family Army defend against the invasion of Donghu and the other tribes.
He asked Liu Dao to attend court tomorrow and officially accept the appointment.
In the official residence, a series of procedures were completed.
"I, Liu Dao, accept the decree."
After Liu Dao received the imperial edict, he was still a little confused. He felt that it was a little magical.
Putting aside the fact that the title of 'Divine Might General' was clearly a general with a random title.
However, the establishment of miscellaneous generals only began in the Han Dynasty and only became widespread in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
At this time, the Qin Dynasty only had the Great General and the Generals of the Front, Left, and Right. They were not permanent and were only appointed during wartime. There was no such thing as the General title of 'Divine Might General'.
Moreover, Liu Dao was doing well as a county governor.
The unlucky Prefectural Governor who had been replaced previously had no record of leading an army. Liu Dao had only led an army to exterminate bandits in the past six months, and all the credit was given to Han Xin.
No matter what, he could not understand why Liu Dao was suddenly conferred the title of Divine Might General and entrusted with the important task of resisting the invasion of the foreign races in the north.
The eunuch who came to issue the decree saw Liu Dao's stunned expression and smiled."
"General Liu, do you have any questions?”
Liu Dao saw the eunuch's expression and knew that he must know something.
"Eunuch, I do have some doubts. Could you please ask me?”
As Liu Dao spoke, he secretly stuffed an ingot of gold into the eunuch's hand.
The eunuch quickly put it away, his expression even more enthusiastic.
"General Liu, you're too polite. Let's talk to the side.”
the eunuch said with a smile.
After a long time, the eunuch left in satisfaction. Liu Dao also roughly understood what had happened.
It was the performance of Liu Dao when he killed the enemies outside Xianyang City, which was witnessed by Ying Zheng at that time.
Ying Zheng admired Liu Dao's bravery, which was why he had asked Liu Dao to lead the army to battle.
As for the Divine Might General, he was below the four generals.
It was specially set up by Ying Zheng for Liu Dao.
On the one hand, Liu Dao had no military record, so he was afraid that he would cause dissatisfaction among the others.
On the other hand, Ying Zheng had only seen Liu Dao's bravery, but had never seen his ability to lead troops, so he was still doubtful about this.
Hence, with such a level, the mission was to assist Meng Tian.
What was considered assistance? Listening to Meng Tian's orders was considered assistance, and leading troops alone to fight was also considered assistance.
Ying Zheng was hinting to Liu Dao that he should know his limits and decide what to do.
Obviously, the intention to test Liu Dao's ability was very strong.
Of course, not all of this was said by the eunuch. The other party did not know that much either. Many of them were guessed by Liu Dao.
However, Liu Dao estimated that his guess was not far off.
After the eunuch left.
Lu Su, who was at the side, quickly ran over. Beside Lu Su, there was a man in disguise. It was Han Xin.
"Husband, why is it so sudden that you have to lead the army?”
Lu Su asked anxiously and worriedly.
Liu Dao directly said,
"When I was killing bandits outside Xianyang, the First Emperor saw me. Don't worry, it's a good thing that His Majesty promoted me.”
Liu Dao comforted Lu Su, who was obviously panicking.
Lu Su was still a little worried.
"But it's a dangerous war. What if something happens? Ah Dao, take me with you.”
"Silly girl, I'm going to lead troops to battle. What are you going to do? When that time comes, I'll have to take care of you.”
"But…"
"Alright, Susu, be good. You know my ability. No one can stop me. If you go over, I'll be distracted and worried about your safety.”
In the end, under Liu Dao's advice, Lu Su could only helplessly give up on the idea of following them.
At this moment, Han Xin suddenly said,"
"My lord, why don't you let me go with you? Han Xin believes that he has some experience in leading troops in battle and can help my lord.”
Liu Dao thought for a moment and shook his head.
"Han Xin, you don't have to follow me this time. I believe in your ability, but I'm going to hide my strength this time. Don't forget our purpose. Si Water Prefecture is our foundation.”
In a short period of time, Liu Dao had already made his decision.
Although he had made a move this time, Liu Dao would definitely not let go of the opportunity to scheme for benefits.
However, there were many ways to make a contribution.
If he really wanted to use Han Xin to display his godlike ability in using troops.
He was 100% sure that Liu Dao would be transferred to a military post in the future and stay in Xianyang as a guard or a doctor, waiting for the opportunity to lead troops to war.
Although he was one of the nine ministers, his status was higher and he had an elite military force under him.
But the problem was, under Ying Zheng's watch, Liu Dao did not have the confidence to turn his soldiers into his own power without anyone noticing.
The strength of his subordinates was just rootless duckweed.
In comparison, it was much more comfortable to be the king of Si Water County.
It just so happened that Liu Dao had also guessed Ying Zheng's doubts about his ability to lead troops, so he just had to follow this direction.
This time, Liu Dao was only prepared to show the valor that Ying Zheng had already seen, a personal version of the 'ten thousand enemy' battle.
He would bring his soldiers over and make a contribution with his own strength. It would be best if his subordinates suffered heavy casualties. In any case, he would not feel bad if his soldiers were not his own, so that Ying Zheng would give up the idea of letting him lead his troops to war in the future.
Han Xin understood what Liu Dao meant and could only follow his orders.
"Han Xin, this time you will help me escort Susu back to Pei County and take good care of her.”
Liu Dao instructed Han Xin.
Han Xin quickly cupped his hands and said,"
"Yes, my lord. This subordinate swears to protect Madam and will never let Madam suffer any harm.”
……
The next morning, in the official residence of Xianyang.
Liu Daoxian sent Lu Su's group off.
"Susu, you must listen to Han Xin's arrangements on the road. Don't be willful. He's extremely talented at leading troops.”
"Husband, Susu understands.”
Lu Su reluctantly bid farewell to Liu Dao.
After sending off Lu Su and the others, Liu Dao walked towards the Imperial Palace and prepared to attend court.
Seeing that the sky had not completely lit up, Liu Dao complained in his heart,
"As expected, my decision to develop in the local area and not come to Xianyang was right. Otherwise, who would be able to stand it if I got up at this time every day to attend court?”
Liu Dao was not willing to abide by such an inhumane rule and make himself suffer.
Pei County was still better. The sky was high and the emperor was far away. He was the boss and no one could control him.
