Chapter 105 The king orders Linsha Village! Zhao recalled the scene of that year!
"You all heard what the king's envoy said just now."
"After the New Year, new soldiers join the army."
"Five generals, please be prepared to welcome the new recruits and deal with the reorganization." Zhao Feng said to the five generals.
"General Zhao."
"Now we already have 60,000 troops in the Weicheng Army. If we add more troops, won't it be close to 80,000 or 90,000 troops?" Zhao Tuo said with some surprise.
"Since this matter is an edict issued by the king, he has his own arrangements. As a subject, I just need to obey the king's orders." Zhao Feng said calmly.
For Zhao Feng, the more soldiers under his command, the better, and the higher the attributes he can obtain through his troops.
"I understand." Zhao Tuo did not ask any more questions.
"alright."
"Generals, please make your own arrangements. If you need any help, please come to the Military Conference Hall to find me." Zhao Feng said, and walked directly towards the Military Conference Hall.
Zhang Ming led a hundred personal guards and guarded various places in the Military Council Hall.
After entering the palace.
Zhao Feng sat in the main seat as usual, and while opening a military newspaper, he ordered in his heart: "Receive the reward."
"The host is promoted to Right Chief, and is rewarded with a first-level treasure chest." A prompt appeared on the panel.
"Open the treasure chest." Zhao Feng said immediately.
Although there is only one treasure chest, Zhao Feng is still full of expectations.
"Open the first-level treasure chest and obtain a [Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom]." The panel prompts.
"Three natural cardamoms, is this considered complete?"
"A elixir that can bring the dead back to life." Although he said that, Zhao Feng was still a little disappointed.
This cardamom is useless to him!
"Do we have to save Qin Shi Huang in the future?"
But at this moment, a terrible idea suddenly came to Zhao Feng's heart.
Historically.
Qin Shihuang died of illness in Shazhou. In addition to his old age, the biggest reason was that he consumed too many elixirs, which led to heavy metal poisoning in his body.
That moment came.
If Zhao Feng had given him the cardamom, it could have saved Qin Shi Huang's life and even changed the history of the world.
The changes and constancy of history seem to be in the hands of Zhao Feng.
At the moment this thought came to Zhao Feng's mind, Zhao Feng immediately shook his head and said, "Forget it. After all, the relationship between the King of Qin and me is just that of a monarch and a minister. I earned my official position and rank by fighting for my life. Once the king's edict is issued, all of these will be taken away in an instant."
"Besides, the King of Qin's successor is too bad. I don't want to risk my life for them."
"I look down on both Fusu and Huhai."
"I'd better follow history and wait for the end of the Qin Dynasty."
"Are there any kings, princes, generals or ministers of different species?"
…
Zhao State, Handan! "Your Majesty."
"I am back alive to see you."
Inside Longtai Palace.
Guo Kai knelt on the ground, speaking with tears and snot.
At this moment, he was not wearing any fine clothes and looked like a beggar.
Zhao Yan looked at Guo Kai who had returned alive, with a look of shock on his face.
"Prime Minister, how did you come back alive?" Zhao Yan asked in a deep voice.
Although the intelligence of his Zhao State was not as good as that of Qin State, it was very clear that Qin intercepted them at Weishui and all 500 royal guards were wiped out by Qin.
However, the Qin State did not announce to the outside world which country was responsible, nor did it say it was King Wei of Zhao. It only said it was a thief.
"Your Majesty."
"I escaped from the State of Qin." Guo Kai cried loudly.
"How did you escape back? Five hundred royal guards were killed by the Qin army. How could a weak man like you survive?" Zhao Yan frowned.
Although Zhao Yan did not have much ability, he did have basic knowledge.
At this moment, he naturally suspected Guo Kai.
"Your Majesty."
"I was not with Wang Wei, but had been planning behind the scenes. After losing contact with Wang Wei, I disguised myself and begged all the way back to the Great Zhao." Guo Kai explained immediately.
Hear this explanation.
Zhao Yan nodded.
After all, this is indeed Guo Kai's character. He is good at protecting his life, and the Qin State never said that it had captured Guo Kai.
Moreover, based on Zhao Yan's understanding of Ying Zheng, if Guo Kai was really caught by Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng would definitely not let him go. Zhao Yan knew how much Ying Zheng hated himself and Guo Kai because of the hatred they had in their childhood.
Ying Zheng’s former teacher was also harmed by them.
Think of this.
Zhao Yan's suspicion of Guo Kai gradually dissipated, but for the sake of caution, Zhao Yan tried again: "After the Prime Minister went to Qin, Qin sent envoys to our Great Zhao to ask for an alliance. Prime Minister, do you think I should agree or not?"
Hearing this.
Guo Kai's face immediately showed anger and hatred: "Your Majesty, please do not agree. Qin is cunning and actively seeking an alliance must be a trick."
Seeing Guo Kai's performance, Zhao Yan's doubts were completely dispelled.
He then immediately stood up, walked to Guo Kai, and helped him up very gently.
"Thank you for your hard work, Prime Minister. You have risked your life for me. I am lucky to have a loyal minister like you." Zhao Yan said with a smile.
"But I...I have not completed the mission and also killed five hundred royal guards." Guo Kai looked ashamed.
"The Prime Minister has made a plan, and I have already received the intelligence."
"If it weren't for the coincidence on the Wei River, the Prime Minister might have already succeeded. It's not the Prime Minister's fault." Zhao Yan said with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not blaming me." Guo Kai bowed immediately, feeling relieved in his heart.
"But there was no deception in the Qin alliance."
"I have already promised the Qin envoy that I will go to Qin on a certain day to sign an alliance with Ying Zheng." Zhao Yan said with a smile.
"Your Majesty."
"The Qin State must be plotting something. Please think twice, Your Majesty. It is impossible for Ying Zheng to sign an alliance with Your Majesty for no reason." Guo Kai's face changed and he immediately said seriously.
"rest assured."
"I have already found out that many chaos broke out in the Han territory occupied by Qin. Qin's granaries were burned and military camps were destroyed. Now Ying Zheng is in a state of panic and has spared no effort to control the Han territory."
"And if we want to gain complete control, it will take at least a year and a half. If I add fuel to the fire in Han, Ying Zheng won't be able to get out of Han within two or three years." Zhao Yan sneered and said very proudly.
See here.
Guo Kai didn't say anything else.
Before he came back, he remembered clearly what Ying Zheng said. Without his edict, he was still Guo Kai and could not have any connection with the Qin Dynasty. Now that he had regained Guo Kai's trust, all he had to do was to talk less and do less. The more he did, the greater the risk of being exposed.
Guo Kai valued his life very much and would not be so stupid.
Sand Village!
A team guarded by hundreds of county soldiers headed towards Zhao Feng's home.
"The Zhao family."
"County Magistrate Yan is here."
Wu Lizheng walked to the yard of Zhao Feng's house and shouted loudly.
Such a long time has passed.
Under the construction work of craftsmen ordered by the Shaofu, the Zhao family has undergone a great transformation. Houses have been built in rows and have courtyard walls. It is the largest mansion in the entire Sha Village.
This is a mansion built at the order of the current king. The specifications are naturally worthy of a deputy general. The wood and rubble required are all of the best quality, and the ground is even paved with bluestone bricks.
This is also what authority brings.
However, at Zhao's request, the wooden house where their family of three originally lived was not demolished but remained in the mansion.
certainly.
With the construction of the mansion.
In this village with a population of only a few hundred people, the villagers have different thoughts. Some are envious, while others secretly curse. However, most of the villagers are still simple and honest. As Zhao Feng was granted a thousand acres of land due to his title, many families with large populations and insufficient land were also allocated land. The rent paid by villagers in the same village was much less than that paid by tenants outside, which naturally made the villagers grateful.
certainly.
Those who cursed in secret thought that since Zhao Feng was now rich, the Zhao family should directly give money and food to the people in the same village, so that they would be worthy of Zhao Feng's identity as a general.
Obviously, the Zhao family doesn't bother to pay attention to such people.
Zhao's decision to rent out the fertile land to villagers for cultivation was already a form of care for his fellow villagers.
Back to the topic.
Hear the sound.
Zhao's mother and daughter walked out of the house in confusion.
Take a look.
In addition to hundreds of county soldiers, there were also hundreds of servants, both men and women.
Walking in the front was Yan Bing, the governor of Shaqiu County.
"Greetings, County Magistrate Yan." Zhao's mother and daughter immediately stepped forward and greeted him with female etiquette.
Yan Bing quickened his pace, walked forward, and gently gave him a hand.
"There's no need to be so polite, Madam Zhao." Yan Bing said immediately with a gentle smile on his face.
"I wonder what County Magistrate Yan wants to do here?"
"Did something happen to my son?"
Zhao asked with a worried look on her face.
He naturally understood that the county magistrate in front of him must have come for no reason.
For the county magistrate to come again, something must have happened to his son again.
Zhao Ying on the side was also looking at him with a worried look on her face.
"Mrs. Zhao is overthinking."
"General Zhao is doing well in the army. He is now ordered to guard Weicheng. He is deeply trusted by the king. I came here to congratulate Madam Zhao. General Zhao has made great contributions to the Qin Dynasty again. This time, I have brought the king's envoy to read the king's edict." Yan Bing said with a smile.
Response.
Beside Yan Bing.
A general of the imperial guard came forward, holding a royal edict in his hand.
"Achieve merit?"
Zhao's mother and daughter looked at each other with some surprise.
"The King of Qin's edict!"
The hundred imperial guards held the royal edict and shouted loudly.
Response.
All the non-noble people around knelt down and said, "We respectfully listen to the king's order."
"Zhao Feng, the deputy general of the Qin Dynasty, intercepted the bandits at the Wei River and rescued the queen mother who was abducted by the bandits. He made great contributions to the country. Zhao Feng was promoted one level to the right minister, and was given 500 acres of good land, 1,000 gold coins, 10,000 coins, 100 pieces of jade, 100 slaves, and 10 elixirs."
"Since General Zhao is stationed outside, all rewards will be given to his hometown." The hundred guards read out loudly.
And this moment.
Everyone knew what great achievements Zhao Feng had made.
"OMG."
"The Zhao family kid is really amazing. He actually saved the Queen Mother, who is the mother of the current king."
"The Zhao family has really produced an outstanding person. Zhao Feng was originally a deputy general, and now he has saved the king's mother, the queen mother of our Great Qin. He has a bright future ahead of him."
“It’s incredible.”
"It's only been a short time, and Zhao Feng has accomplished great things again."
"This is such good luck..."
The villagers who were watching around couldn't help but talk about it. This incident that day was a shocking thing for all the civil and military officials in the court, not to mention the villagers.
"He actually saved the Queen Mother!"
"You will definitely receive greater attention from the king in the future, and you will have a bright future."
"It seems that I have to come to the Zhao Mansion more often in the future to take care of him." Yan Bing said to himself when he heard the content of the royal edict.
The king's envoy came and passed by Shaqiu. His title was promoted and he was granted 500 acres of land. Yan Bing naturally came with the king's envoy. He really didn't know about the military achievements Zhao Feng had made this time.
Now that he heard it, Zhao Feng meant even more to him.
He is now the prefect of Shaqiu. As long as he makes good friends with him, Zhao Feng might become one of the Nine Ministers or even a general in the future.
"Brother saved the Queen Mother?" Zhao Ying looked at Zhao in confusion.
"Queen Mother..."
Zhao murmured.
As I was thinking, a picture appeared in my mind.
A large group of men in black were chasing them madly.
The leader tore off the veil.
A murderous look appeared on his face: "Your Majesty, Fan Yuqi has come here on the orders of the Queen Mother to invite Miss Dong'er to die. Please don't blame Miss Dong'er."
"Zhao Ji." Zhao murmured, with a complicated look in her eyes.
At one point, they had not reached that point at all, but eventually things changed because of power and because they entered Xianyang.
"Mrs. Zhao."
"The king's envoy is still waiting for you to receive the imperial edict."
Looking at the dazed Zhao, Yan Bing immediately reminded her with a smile.
I want to come.
Perhaps he thought that Zhao was distracted and happy because her son had made another great contribution.
Hear the sound.
Zhao came to her senses and immediately walked towards the imperial guards, holding the imperial edict in both hands, and said loudly, "I receive the edict."
"Come here, bring all the rewards that the king has bestowed on General Zhao." The hundred generals of the imperial guard shouted.
The guards immediately brought over boxes one by one.
There is gold, money, and jade inside.
certainly.
The most important thing is the arrival of a hundred servants.
When these servants arrived, they all knelt in front of Zhao.
"Mrs. Zhao."
"These one hundred servants are given by the king. They are all slaves. The power of life and death is in the hands of Madam. They are all handed over to Madam for disposal." The hundred generals of the imperial guards said respectfully.
"Thank you." Zhao nodded immediately.
"The royal decree has been conveyed. Madam Zhao, I'm taking my leave." The hundred imperial guards clasped their fists towards Zhao, then turned around and left with the imperial guards.
"Farewell, Royal Envoy."
Zhao said immediately.
After these guards have completely left.
Yan Bing immediately stepped forward and waved his hand: "Bring up the land register."
Response.
There was another big box, and like the last one, it contained bamboo slips of land deeds, but now they all belonged to the Zhao family.
"Mrs. Zhao."
"This is the land deed for 500 acres of land. Please keep it well." Yan Bing said with a smile.
"Thank you, Mr. County Magistrate, for seeing me off in person." Zhao smiled and thanked him.
"Mrs. Zhao, you're too polite."
"General Zhao is a pillar of our Great Qin. He made great contributions to our Great Qin's conquest of Han, and now he has saved the Queen Mother. It is an honor for me to be an official in General Zhao's hometown." Yan Bing smiled immediately, and there was even a flattering tone in his voice.
To this.
Zhao was naturally polite as well.
Zhao was very familiar with these official affairs. When you are powerful, everyone will try to please you, but if you lose power, those people will want to step on you.
Therefore, Zhao did not take Yan Bing's flattery seriously at all.
"Mrs. Zhao."
"I wonder if you are used to living in this village?"
Yan Bing glanced at the villagers who were watching around and then asked.
"I have lived in the village for so many years, so of course I am used to it. I wonder what the county magistrate thinks?" Zhao said with a smile.
"The past was the past, and the present is the present."
"Mrs. Zhao's status is different now. People's minds are hard to predict. Everything is uncertain."
"I also have several mansions in the county town. I will give one to Madam Zhao today. If you have any troubles in this village in the future, you can move directly to the county town to live."
"That mansion is very big, enough to accommodate hundreds of servants." Yan Bing smiled, took a bamboo slip from a confidant behind him, and handed it to Zhao without saying anything: "This is the contract for the mansion, please accept it, madam."
"My Lord County Magistrate, you cannot accept this commoner girl as your wife." Upon seeing this, Zhao immediately refused.
But when Yan Bing saw this, he simply placed the bamboo slips in front of the door of Zhao's house without giving Zhao a chance to refuse.
"Mrs. Zhao."
"This is a small gift from Yan to General Zhao."
Yan Bing smiled, and then said, "Okay, I still have some government affairs to deal with, so I'll take my leave now."
Speaking of.
Yan Bing turned around and left without giving Zhao a chance to return the land deed.
"mother."
"Brother, how come it's so easy to make meritorious service after enlisting in the army?"
"Before, you defeated Han Du and captured the King of Han. This time, you even saved the Queen Mother?"
Zhao Ying looked at Zhao blankly and said.
Ever since my brother joined the army, he seems like a different person.
"Maybe, this is fate!"
Zhao sighed, with a look of helplessness in her eyes.
Zhao Ying looked at her mother, very confused.
Why does my mother seem unhappy even though my brother has made great contributions and has now become a general?
Weicheng!
Zhao Feng didn't know about the situation at home.
now.
Looking at Tu Sui standing in front of him, Zhao Feng felt a little confused.
"I request the king's order to transfer to General Zhao's command. Please accept me, General Zhao."
Tu Sui bowed and said excitedly.
"You are being transferred to my command?"
Zhao Feng glanced at Tu Sui in confusion: "You were originally the commander of the Imperial Guards, a high position, but you actually want to serve under me? Is this an order from the king?"
"Reply to General Zhao."
"This is an opportunity that I have obtained by actively asking the king for help."
"After the last incident when the thieves robbed the Queen Mother, I felt that I was not capable enough, which allowed the thieves to succeed. That day, I also witnessed General Zhao's ability, so I asked to serve under General Zhao." Tu Sui said sincerely.
See this.
Zhao Feng also understood.
This Tu Sui really asked for this position on his own initiative.
"Since it is the king's order, you will serve under me. But has the king assigned you any position?" Zhao Feng said.
Tu Sui immediately took out a military order from Wang Jian, presented it with both hands, and handed it to Zhao Feng: "This is the order from the general."
Zhao Feng took it and looked at it, and immediately understood.
"Okay, when the new recruits join the army, I will organize a separate army for you." Zhao Feng said immediately.
"Thank you, General Zhao." Tu Sui replied excitedly.
Tu Sui seemed very happy to be included in the real Ruishi main combat camp.
"Since you have just arrived, I will have someone arrange a camp for you and let you meet the other generals in the army." Zhao Feng smiled slightly.
"General Zhao."
"Before that, I have a handwritten letter from General Wang Jian, who asked me to give it to you personally." Tu Sui groped in his arms and took out an unopened piece of cloth.
Zhao Feng didn't say anything and took the letter directly.
Ever since Wang Jian left Yingchuan triumphantly that day, Zhao Feng had never received any information from Wang Jian regarding Wang Yan, except for some military orders, and he also knew nothing about the arranged marriage.
It's like leaving yourself aside.
Zhao Feng also thought that today's letter might contain news about Wang Yan.
Open the handbook.
Zhao Feng had no expression on his face at first, but when he saw the first sentence, a smile appeared on his face: "My father-in-law is really awesome. Fusu and Wang Yan's marriage was cancelled, and he also mentioned me to the King of Qin."
See this.
Zhao Feng's heart also dropped.
Fusu had no chance to get his hands on his woman, so there was no need for him to snatch her away. Now he didn't need to think about his way out. He could just sit safely on the Qin warship and become stronger, improve his strength, develop his own power, and wait for the end of the Qin Dynasty.
You can watch to the end.
Zhao Feng stood up suddenly, his face full of astonishment and an indescribable joy.
"General, what's wrong?"
Tu Sui was startled when he saw Zhao Feng suddenly stand up and look extremely excited.
"No… I'm fine."
Zhao Feng suppressed the joy on his face, and then shouted to the outside of the hall: "Zhang Ming."
"My Lord."
Zhang Ming immediately walked into the hall.
"Arrange a barracks for General Tu Sui and take him to familiarize himself with the situation in the military camp." Zhao Feng said.
"promise."
Zhang Ming nodded immediately, and then said to Tu Sui: "General Tu, please."
See here.
"I will take my leave."
Tu Sui also immediately bowed and left with Zhang Ming.
There are no outsiders.
Zhao Feng picked up the handwritten letter and read it carefully. He could no longer hide the smile on his face. "Wang Yan is pregnant with my child? In just one night and a few times, she is pregnant? The vitality of my seed is really strong!"
now.
Zhao Feng couldn't help but sigh at how powerful his descendants were. Just one night of indulgence had achieved such a result. Zhao Feng even admired himself.
"Don't even mention that my father-in-law, the general, has asked for it. Even if he doesn't ask, his daughter and I have already had an affair and she is pregnant. Even if the marriage is set, the King of Qin will cancel it."
"If he knew Yan'er was pregnant, he would probably be glad that he didn't arrange a marriage for Fusu. Otherwise, it would be a joke if my child was born in his Qin royal family."
At this moment, Zhao Feng couldn't help but laugh.
This time.
I am no longer worried at all.
"It looks like I have to file a report. I'm going to Xianyang to propose marriage."
"Yan'er is already pregnant with me, I want to marry her into my Zhao family in a formal ceremony." Zhao Feng thought of this again in his heart at this moment.
That's just his character. Once he does something, he will take responsibility for it.
Moreover, Wang Yan has her own children, so Zhao Feng must not abandon them.
Although Wang Yan had spent the night with him with the intention of breaking her fate, it was done and done.
Time flies! In the blink of an eye.
It was the most difficult time for the land of China, and it had truly entered a cold winter.
In the military camp, bonfires were lit in various tents. Groups of elite soldiers gathered around the bonfires to keep warm and took turns drinking wine. In this era, there were no cotton clothes, and everyone wore several layers of clothes, but they were of little use in the severe cold. Even beside the bonfires, many elite soldiers were shivering with cold.
It can be seen how cold the weather is.
If this is the case in the military camp, one can imagine what the situation is like among the common people.
Once winter comes, countless people in China will freeze to death or starve to death.
From the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties to the current situation of various countries, this problem has no solution.
The food in China is not enough for its people, and not every citizen has their own place to keep warm.
Above Weicheng!
Zhao Feng was wearing several military uniforms and a cloak, and was standing on the city wall.
Take a look.
Outside the city is a vast expanse of white snow.
"I don't know how many more people will die after this snowfall."
"Only a unified China can have the opportunity to change this situation."
“Without unification, the problems of people freezing to death and starving to death cannot be alleviated at all.” Zhao Feng sighed secretly in his heart.
Knowing history and integrating history, Zhao Feng felt more emotional in his heart.
"My Lord."
"I just received a military report from General Li from Xianyang." Zhang Ming walked to Zhao Feng and respectfully held up a military report.
"Just read it directly." Zhao Feng said.
"Twenty-five days ago, the King of Zhao went to our Great Qin in person and signed a non-aggression pact with the King. At the same time, Zhao's General Pang Nuan has secretly gone to the Zhao-Yan border, and Zhao's 300,000 troops have been dispersed along the Zhao-Yan border." Zhang Ming said.
"Is this the complete military report?" Zhao Feng turned around and asked.
"This is the complete military report, and it has never been opened before. It was sent by the general." Zhang Ming said respectfully.
"The Qin-Zhao alliance, haha, an alliance that made Zhao take it lightly."
"No wonder there were sudden chaos in various parts of our Great Qin before. I only heard the news of these chaos but never saw the chaos. It turns out that this was the king's trick to bewitch people." Zhao Feng smiled faintly and instantly understood the significance of this military report.
"My Lord."
"What does this military report mean?"
"Weicheng is not adjacent to Zhao State, but to Wei State. It seems that what happened on the Zhao-Yan border has nothing to do with us." Zhang Ming said puzzledly.
"Zhao and Wei are allies. Once Zhao launches military action against Yan, when the two are entangled, it will be the best time for my Great Qin to launch military action against Zhao. When that time comes, will Wei sit idly by?" Zhao Feng said with a smile.
Hearing this.
Zhang Ming was shocked, and then immediately asked: "Master, do you mean there will be a war?"
"When this heavy snow subsides, Zhao will surely attack Yan."
"As soon as Yan State can no longer resist, it will ask Qin for help, and the king will certainly issue an edict to mobilize the army." Zhao Feng said with certainty.
Zhao Feng knew history, so he naturally knew that there was this link in history.
The so-called non-aggression pact signed is nothing more than a piece of waste paper that can be torn up at any time and is completely useless.
"Once the Great Qin mobilizes its troops, the State of Wei will also seize the opportunity to act, and our Weicheng will be under attack from the State of Wei." Zhang Ming also understood it instantly.
"Okay, don't let this matter leak out for now."
"Let's talk about it after winter."
"When the heavy snow stops, the imperial court should have supplies of food and grass to prepare for the war." Zhao Feng smiled, his eyes revealing anticipation.
War is coming again! The Qin Dynasty's rule over China will begin again! …
