Chapter 746: Is It Also His Highness’s Plan to Watch His Brother Die?
Hearing Zhao Lang's words, Meng Tian was startled for a moment, then laughed and said,
"Old minister, now that he is old, he should have rested like Marquis Wu Cheng. Now General Han has become a successful man."
"The old minister invited himself to return to Xianyang to retire, and also asked His Highness the Crown Prince to spread the word."
After this war, it can be said that there will be no major war in the Northern Territory of Qin within ten years.
His military exploits have also been sealed.
Retreating at this time is the best choice.
Seeing Meng Tian directly asking to hand over military power, Zhao Lang realized that the other party had misunderstood him.
He had no intention of forcing the other party to delegate power, so he quickly explained,
"Why did General Meng say this? I..."
This time, for the first time, Meng Tian didn't wait for Zhao Lang to finish speaking. He took off his helmet with a smile, pointed at his hair and said,
"Your Highness, look at my old minister's hair, which is already gray. But now he just wants to go back to his hometown."
"Isn't it worthy of returning home with the merits of the old minister?"
Hearing this, Zhao Lang was speechless. He really couldn't speak to the other party.
From a certain perspective, it is also a good thing for the Qin army that General Meng took the initiative to resign.
His father's generation left a large number of old nobles occupying positions. .
General Meng's resignation also sent a signal to these people.
It’s time to give way.
After sighing slightly, Zhao Lang could only return the greeting and said,
"Thank you for your hard work, General Meng, but now we still need General Meng to stabilize the border troops."
Meng Tian replied cheerfully,
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely arrange the border defense before leaving it to you."
"In this way, I will take my leave first."
After saying that, he bowed again and left.
Looking at Meng Tian's leaving figure, Zhao Lang couldn't help but reveal a wry smile.
He had never thought before that even after winning a battle, he would be troubled.
Now after the Qin army's victory, all the ministries are going to be promoted.
This is also one of the motivations for the Qin troops to fight to the death.
Defending the homeland and the country is natural, but the realistic treatment cannot be neglected, otherwise, the hearts of the soldiers will be cold.
With the experience of the South, there is no problem with land and material rewards for ordinary sergeants. Anyway, there is more land now.
He even thought there were too few people.
It's just that there are a lot of people in the middle and upper classes, but it's hard to arrange them.
There is no problem with the title, as long as it is given based on military merit, but what about the travel arrangements?
Da Qin is now very stable and has its own candidates for every position.
If he goes by his experience in the history books of his previous life, he would not mind using new nobles and suppressing the old nobles.
This is what it means to have one emperor and one courtier.
But this is not his vision.
What's more, my father is still here, so the arrangement of this time is still a bit confusing.
Of course, the problem is not big. If it really doesn't work, we can only humiliate this group of people first and let them fight with the old nobles.
By the way, use them to open some channels for future students of your school.
With a rough plan in mind, Zhao Lang felt slightly relieved and prepared to continue handling military affairs.

After the war, everything was complicated. If it weren't for Meng Tian and Xiao He helping to deal with it, he wouldn't be able to do it at all.
Even so, he is still extremely busy every day. Who makes him the prince? Some things must go through his hands.
At this moment, a slightly noisy sound suddenly came from outside the camp.
"I want to see His Highness the Crown Prince...brothers too..."
However, the voice was soon suppressed. Just as Zhao Lang was about to ask questions, a big dog's voice sounded outside the camp.
"Master, the big dog wants to see you."
"come in."
Zhao Lang said quickly, looking at the big dog, big cat, and Su who came in, he suddenly said with a bit of annoyance,
"Since when did you start to behave like this?"
These young soldiers are considered his personal soldiers. Compared with others, they are relatively casual in terms of etiquette.
The big dog also curled his lips and said,
"Master, it's what the slave said. From now on, we must abide by the rules."
Zhao Lang was not too harsh on slaves, so he could only shake his head and say,
"Don't listen to him. You are all carried by me. Why do you need so many rules?"
The big cat immediately said,
"I just said that this guy is too rigid."
Only Su on the side smiled and replied,
"Master, it's actually good to have some rules."
Women always mature earlier.
Zhao Lang didn't dwell too much on this matter with a few people, and quickly asked,
"What happened outside just now?"
Upon hearing the question, the expressions of several people changed slightly, but the big dog quickly gritted his teeth and said,
"Master, there's nothing wrong. Well...we came here this time because we wanted to know when we can go back to Liaodong or Xianyang. Both places require us to go back and do some things."
However, Zhao Lang did not answer their questions, but looked at them and said,
"Have you learned to lie to me too?"
Upon hearing this, the big cat next to him couldn't help it and said,
"Master, when we just came in, we saw Da Tou at the door. He begged to see you, but the slave guy kicked him out!"
"Don't let us tell you yet, because we're afraid of spoiling your mood."
Big Cat made things clear directly.
Zhao Lang's face became slightly serious, and without any further hesitation, he quickly replied,
"You are still the same as before. Big Cat, you return to Liaodong to help make money. The production of gunpowder cannot be stopped. Big Dog, you and Su return to Xianyang. Your current task is to research and improve gunpowder."
"I'll talk about other things when I get back."
"Okay, you go ahead."
After saying that, Zhao Lang stood up and walked outside.
Several people standing in the tent couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Su suddenly frowned and said,
"Why are you talking so much? Now it's better. If you offend the slave, the master will not be happy either."
The big dog replied sternly,
"I can't stand that slave's look! I'm not afraid of him!"
Su glared at him, and then the big dog said timidly,
"We can't deceive the family master."
Su Ye sighed, she could tell that from now on, the slave's status would be higher than theirs.
And it’s not easy to offend this kind of person.
At this time, outside the prince's camp, Datou was being pulled aside by a Qin army general to scold him.
"Datou! If it weren't for the sake of the hundreds of thousands of dead and wounded soldiers, I wouldn't have held you!"
"Forcibly asking to see His Highness the Crown Prince, what do you want to do?"
Datou was already a little numb and replied,
"I just want to ask His Majesty the Crown Prince, why didn't you use such a magical weapon earlier? Are we, slaves, not human beings?"
The general of the Qin army sighed when he heard this and said,
"What's your question? This is the army's plan!"
Datou replied numbly,
"Is it also His Highness's plan to watch my brother die?"
Upon hearing this, the Qin army general said sharply,
"Big head! Being called a brother is an honor given by His Highness the Crown Prince! How dare you question me like this!"
"You don't want your life, and you don't want the pensions of those brothers who died in the battle!?"
