Chapter 95 Above the funeral

Since ancient times, famous generals are like beauties, and the world is not allowed to see gray hair.No matter how brave and invincible a general is, he will inevitably be defeated, defeated by time, defeated by death.The cruel years, with its leisurely fingers, gradually picked off the stars of the older generation of Qin.For example, Wang Yu, Gong Gong and others all died before Meng Ao.After Meng Ao's death, the young and middle-aged military officers who had been under the shadow of these veterans finally came out. Qin's iron-blooded army was destined to be led by them.The names of these young military officers can be listed as follows: Wang Jian, Huan Jue, Yang Duanhe, Qiang Yu, Xin Sheng, Wei Weijiu, Nei Shisi, and Meng Ao's son Meng Wu, etc.They have all waited for too long, longing to lead the three armies on the battlefield and show their talents.

Which of them will inherit Meng Ao's position?The truth is: everyone has hope, everyone is not sure.Their fate is not in their own hands, but in the hands of politicians who hold neither knives nor guns. As an officer, what he cares most about is naturally the combat effectiveness of his soldiers.However, the first consideration of politicians is not the combat effectiveness of the army, but who the army listens to and who commands it. Li Si had self-knowledge. He knew that even though he was also in the military, no matter what his turn, it would never be his turn to be a general.Moreover, it is not his job to lead troops to fight and charge into battle.However, he couldn't help but care about the military issue.It is foreseeable that the officials and generals who came to express their condolences will immediately turn their grief into strength as soon as the funeral is over, and start a fierce struggle for military power.

Meng Ao's death was sudden, beyond his own expectations, and beyond Li Si's expectations.Therefore, when Li Si lay in front of Meng Ao's coffin and cried loudly: General Meng Ao, you will die as soon as you say, he was really telling the truth.Li Si rubbed his temples and decided not to think about the ownership of military power for now.And at this moment, two teenagers in the corner of the mourning hall attracted his attention. Li Si saw the two teenagers, the elder was about fifteen, the younger was about thirteen, both of them were dressed in filial piety, they must be the children of the Meng family.When I found someone and asked, it turned out that he was the grandson of Meng Ao and the son of Meng Wu.The name of the brother is Meng Tian, ​​and the name of the brother is Meng Yi.Li Si walked towards Meng Tian Meng Yi, Meng Tian Meng Yi hurriedly kowtowed and saluted.Li Si received the gift, and helped him one by one.

Li Si looked at the two brothers, but saw that although they were young, they were already handsome and handsome.It is extraordinary to have a great bearing in every gesture.Li Si secretly sighed in his heart: these two sons must be the pillars of Qin in the future.Youdao is a general who will be defeated for three generations, because he kills too much, and he will suffer from his ominousness afterwards.Looking at Meng Tian and Meng Yi now, you will know that this statement is absurd. Li Si thought of his two sons with some discouragement. Compared with the two brothers of the Meng family, Li You and Li Zhan were really far apart.On this point, Li Si was very objective.However, as a father, he also has an unshirkable responsibility for his son's incompetence.He was absent from his sons for eleven years.Regardless of talent, Li You and Li Zhan were trapped in a small place like Shangcai, with a bad environment and a low level of education. Compared with the two brothers of the Meng family, they had already lost at the starting line.Li Si thought again, even if I have worked so hard to be the prime minister and become the most powerful person in the whole Qin country except for the king of Qin, if my descendants are incompetent, I can't pass on this hard-won power, but hand it over to me. If people take it away, what is the point of my struggle?It can't be said that it can only be nothing in the end.

Meng Tian and Meng Yi are like two jewels, which make Li Si's eyes bright, but make Li Si feel depressed.How wonderful it would be if I had a son like Meng Tian Meng Yi, God would be too generous to his Meng family.Li Si's disappointed expression at this time was very suitable for the atmosphere required by the funeral.
