The Qin Dynasty perished after only two generations? My Great Qin also needs an Emperor Taizong!

Whether it was Lord Wu'an or Wang Jian and his son Wang Ben, they were both war gods in the hearts of the Qin people. How could Li Xin, a defeated general, compare to them?

It goes without saying that Lord Wu'an was not much different, and Wang Jian was certainly no less capable.

It should be noted that since Wang Jian took command of the army, whenever they gathered to discuss the news of victory, the old Qin people could only offer one extremely ordinary remark: "The Great General has won another battle."

The relatively young Wang Ben destroyed Wei in one battle and became famous in Guanzhong, and was called "Young General"... Firstly, the Wang family bloodline was on full display; secondly, it was simply because his battle tactics were magnificent, and the old Qin people felt their blood boil and were thoroughly satisfied when they heard about them, so he quickly gained fame.

As the saying goes, a skilled warrior achieves victory without seeking glory.

Wang Ben's reputation was naturally built up from a series of victories: in the raid last October, he led 10,000 cavalrymen deep into the heart of Chu, capturing ten cities in ten days; since the beginning of spring, he has led the war to destroy Wei, diverting the Yellow River to flood Daliang, a brilliant strategy that was like a snake swallowing an elephant; a month ago, he once again led his army to quell the rebellion of Han in Shangdang, while simultaneously commanding eight armies to advance in unison, with each unit moving in a complex and intertwined manner, displaying dazzling tactics that were enough to dazzle the eyes.

So when the old soldier said this, the burly man was speechless for a long time.

Immediately, everyone echoed the sentiment, and the sound of gritting teeth filled the air. Some people angrily smashed their earthenware bowls on the ground, while others silently drank their wine with red eyes...

The streets and alleys were filled with an atmosphere of resentment and sorrow.

The young master's eyes reddened, and his interest in watching the spectacle vanished. With the help of Chang Sheng and the others, he withdrew from the crowd and headed towards the Bai residence, his mind heavy with worry.

……

The news of Li Xin's defeat had a great impact on the people of Qin, so much so that the news that the King of Qin was going to build a shrine for Lord Wu'an spread relatively little in Xianyang.

Even with less publicity, the Bai residence was still bustling with visitors.

The news that the King of Qin would build a shrine for Lord Wu'an attracted the attention of many court officials, because it meant that the Bai family could once again lead troops into the court if they wished. Given Lord Wu'an Bai Qi's illustrious reputation, no one could ignore the Bai family now.

Inside the side room of the Bai family, the eight people had different expressions.

On the left side of the room, Ying Mu was the most composed. After eating and drinking her fill, she sat at the front, smiling as she slowly savored a cup of honey water. Li Zheng and Zhang Xian, who disliked crowds, were sitting beside her.

Han Shan picked up some food and put it in his bowl, then naturally sat down in the corner with the bowl in his hand.

Wang Li and Bai Yu are similar in temperament and status. When they get together, they act in a rather bold manner. They are arm in arm, competing with each other, shouting slogans and having a drinking contest. Chang Sheng, who seems to be a carefree person, is watching the show and cheering them on.

After Bai Shan finished a pot of wine, this taciturn man seemed to have found a kindred spirit. He didn't say much, but just pulled Lou Wen to sit together and drink with him.

Everyone gathered here, and it was quite lively...

"Master of the family."

Just then, a servant outside called out softly, and the room suddenly fell silent.

After a brief silence, Han Shan, who was in the corner, was the first to react. He hurriedly swallowed his rice ball and quickly pulled Chang Sheng and the other three over, whispering a few instructions to them.

The two Bai family members in the room realized what was happening and quickly put down their wine cups, getting up and walking outside.

Ying Mu first pointed at the few scattered spittles on Wang Li's face and mocked him quite unkindly before pulling Wang Li along to follow behind Bai Shan and the other two.

As for the four cavalry generals who had hurriedly finished tidying up their appearance, they still needed to keep a distance.

General Bai was still the same General Bai, but now he had changed into a casual outfit with wide sleeves and a hairpin to fix his hair on the left side of his head. He looked very energetic.

The two Bai family members, with solemn expressions, bowed and greeted their grandfather (uncle) in unison: "Greetings, Grandfather (Uncle)."

Ying Mu followed behind the two and bowed respectfully, saying "Master".

Han Shan and the other five behind him quickly bowed deeply and greeted General Bai.

Bai Zhong finally reacted. He looked at Ying Mu and nodded slightly, then looked at Wang Li and praised him in the hall: "Truly, your eyes are like torches, and your nobility is beyond words."

Wang Li bowed respectfully, "Wang Li greets General Bai!"

Bai Zhong nodded and gave a soft "hmm".

After exchanging greetings, everyone followed Bai Zhong into the back courtyard room.

Ying Mu sat on the left with Bai Zhong, while Bai Shan and Bai Yu pushed Wang Li to sit on the right before finding a seat for themselves.

Han Shan, Chang Sheng, and the others simply stood behind Ying Mu.

Bai Zhong ignored everyone else, focusing only on Wang Li. After sitting down in the chair behind him, he called out, "Wang Li."

Wang Li cupped his hands in response.

"What martial arts skills do you know?"

"Knows how to use a long spear."

Bai Zhong nodded secretly, then turned to ask Wang Li if he could wield a spear.

Wang Li naturally had no problem with this and nodded confidently.

"Good! Truly a son of a military family!" General Bai praised lightly. After asking Wang Li about his strength and skills and receiving a more accurate answer, he looked at Bai Yu and said, "Grandson, fetch the spear."

"Yes."

Bai Yu responded and left.

After Bai Yu left, he went straight to the martial arts field in the backyard. He naturally wanted to befriend and flatter Wang Li, who was also from a military family. After all, his grandfather was able to establish a shrine thanks to General Wang Ben's petition...

So he picked up an excellent gun, the shaft alone weighing twenty pounds and twelve feet long.

Even Ying Mu had to admit that he was truly shocked by this guy: Wang Li got up and walked forward, took the twelve-foot-long spear from Bai Yu's hand, turned around in his hand, and put the spear behind his back. Although it looked a bit sluggish, he still swung the spear around and started to play with it.

Ying Mu's eyes seemed to be dazzled for a moment. He shouted "Good job!" and thought to himself, "I didn't expect Ali's spear wielding to be so beautiful. Just watching this move is enough to dazzle the eyes..."

On the other side, Bai Zhong nodded secretly: "It's a pity he's a bit young; he needs to hone his skills."

In fact, in such a large family as Bai, is there no one who can wield a spear? Of course not... Bai Shan, who is skilled in archery, horsemanship, swordsmanship and spears, is far superior to Wang Li at this moment, not to mention that Bai Yu, who is also capable of breaking through enemy lines on horseback, is also skilled. So why did the old general only cheer for Wang Li?

Ultimately, General Bai wanted the Bai family descendants to remember Wang Ben's contribution to establishing a shrine for Lord Wu'an, which is why this scene unfolded.

Both Bai Shan and his companion understood the old general's intentions, so they both shouted "Good!" in unison.

Chang Sheng and the others were also surprised to see Wang Li wielding the spear so skillfully. Seeing the dazzling spear shadows, although they couldn't tell good from bad, they knew to support their young master and cheered along with Ying Mu.

Hearing the cheers around him, even Wang Li couldn't help but think to himself, "Well done!"
