The wind was a bit noisy today, making the Qin flag flutter constantly.

Wang He looked at Handan in the distance and sighed deeply.

This was his second siege of Handan, but unfortunately he still failed to capture the capital of Zhao.

He is old now, and I am afraid he won't have the chance to come here for the third time.

After this battle, Qin would have to rest for nearly five years before it could send troops abroad again.

One was to digest the acquired territories and people; the other was to prevent the six states in Shandong from joining forces again to attack Qin.

After all, although Qi and Chu sent troops out of respect for Lord Xinling, they were still far away and their main forces did not come. Otherwise, how could his Great Qin be so successful?

Lü Buwei looked at Wang He and sighed, saying, "Old General, are you unwilling to accept this?"

Wang He glanced at Lü Buwei and scolded him with a smile, "You little brat, you think you can teach me a lesson? Why should I be so unwilling? I just feel that my Great Qin is not strong enough."

Lu Buwei did not dare to refute. After all, the old man in front of him had made too many contributions and would definitely be granted a title of lord after this battle. Not to mention that Lu Buwei had not been granted the title of prime minister yet, even if he was, he would have to put on a smile if Wang He scolded him in court.

"The old general is right. But are we really so anxious to retreat? It would be a good idea to wait for two more days and wait for news."

Lu Buwei smiled and changed the subject, stepped forward and looked towards Handan, where the city walls were also full of people.

"Why wait for news? The Zhao Kingdom is so eager to agree to the conditions of the Great Qin, just to ask the Great Qin to withdraw its troops as soon as possible. I don't believe they didn't get the letter, otherwise they would have kept us busy."

Wang He sneered, turned around and was about to return to the tent.

"Although you, Lü Buwei, are a genius, you are ultimately unskilled in military affairs and have a superficial understanding of them. When you return to Xianyang, you will honestly assist the king in handling state affairs."

How could this be a compliment, or even praise? With just a few words, Lü Buwei's military power was taken away, but he couldn't deny it.

Now Wang He is powerful, and although Ying Zichu remembers Lü Buwei's contribution to his country, he also remembers that Lü Buwei is a rare talent. After offsetting the two, how much can be left?

Just wait, just wait, after Ying Zichu dies, the entire Qin Dynasty will submit to me, Lu Buwei.

On the city wall of Handan, Zhao Yan, son of King Xiaocheng of Zhao, and Le Cheng were watching the Qin soldiers retreat.

When he saw that the Qin army flag was indeed heading west, the half-grown boy breathed a sigh of relief and asked Le Cheng with some trembling:

"Le Qing, after they leave, can you hold a funeral for our father?"

King Xiaocheng of Zhao passed away yesterday.

Yesterday morning at the court, he fell asleep on the throne before he could greet the ministers. When Le Cheng went forward to check, he found that King Xiaocheng of Zhao had passed away long ago.

This news has been suppressed for fear that it would be heard by the Qin soldiers outside. Based on Le Cheng's understanding of Wang He, he would never give up this opportunity.

Moreover, Le Cheng concluded that Wang He probably knew about the defeat of the Zhao army.

As for why they did not attack the city and even agreed to Zhao's peace terms, it was probably due to two reasons.

First, the Qin State was not strong enough to annex the three kingdoms at once, so it could only settle for the second best and nibble away at the territories of the three kingdoms, using war to support war.

Secondly, it is probably that most of the 200,000 Qin soldiers outside have retreated. Otherwise, there is no way they would retreat. Wang He would definitely hold on tightly and swallow the five cities of Zhao in one fell swoop.

No matter how many reasons there were, as long as Wang He knew that King Xiaocheng of Zhao had passed away, he would never withdraw his troops.

After all, when a king dies during a war, it always has an impact, a negative impact.

"We can't announce the death. Even if we want to, we have to wait three days until General Li Mu comes back. Otherwise, the State of Zhao will be in danger." Le Cheng didn't look back. He didn't have much respect for the new king of Zhao.

After all, it was King Xiaocheng of Zhao who showed him kindness, not this kid.

Zhao Yan also knew that his prestige was not enough to intimidate Lord Xinping, so he could only swallow his anger and keep it in mind.

"Since my father has given full authority to Le Qing, I won't interfere and will return to the palace to take charge."

After Zhao Yan finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the palace, and soon he disappeared.

Le Cheng did not respond with greetings. He just stood on the city wall of Handan and watched the Qin soldiers slowly retreat.

He is in a complicated mood now, and he is confused about what to do next.

King Xiaocheng of Zhao was dead, Shi En and his men were also dead, and there was no one in the entire Zhao State who could suppress him. Even Li Mu could not compare with his prestige in the court.

It can be said that in the short few years since he joined Zhao, he has reached the highest position, no doubt about it.

The change in status made Le Cheng a little lost. Power is always the most useful thing to change a person.

In addition, the crown prince of Zhao is young and has no reputation. Most of the soldiers in Handan look up to Le Cheng. If it weren't for him, Le Cheng's power would be a little weaker. If it weren't for him, his power would be a little weaker...

Le Cheng looked up and saw the location of Qi State.

It’s lucky that the Tian family replaced the Qi family!

Ever since Meng Ao joined forces with Wang Jian, he had been charging forward. Before he even entered the Qin territory, he was stopped by a messenger who brought the news.

"You said that Prince Zheng captured 150,000 soldiers by himself?"

Meng Ao looked at the messenger kneeling down, and he couldn't believe it.

"You must know the consequences of lying about military intelligence!"

After all, such things are still shocking. Who would believe it if they didn't see it with their own eyes?

The messenger's words were so shocking that even characters in novels would not dare to say such words.
