Chapter 119 Feng'er is in love? Zhao is shocked!
Hearing my mother's voice.
Wang Yan turned her head weakly and said in a weak voice: "My...my daughter is fine."
"I'm glad you're okay."
"Yan'er, you have come this time." Wang said with tears in her eyes.
"How is the child?" Wang Yan asked weakly.
"Yan'er, God is taking care of you."
"A pair of children, the eldest is a boy and the second is a girl."
"A boy and a girl, twins." Wang wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said happily at this moment.
"That's...that's great." A smile appeared on Wang Yan's face, which made her feel motivated even though she was weak.
"Don't say anything. All you need to do now is to have a good rest."
"As for the two children, mother has found a wet nurse for them who can take good care of them." Wang said immediately.
Then.
She told the maid, "Take the young master and young lady to drink milk."
"Yes." Several maids responded immediately.
"Today, the young lady gave birth to twins, which is a great joy for our palace."
"Butler, everyone, look and watch." Wang shouted to the outside of the hall again.
"Yes, ma'am," the butler replied loudly.
"Also, send a letter to the master immediately and tell him that Yan'er has given birth to twins, a boy and a girl." Wang said happily.
The butler naturally agreed immediately.
The palace, inside Zhangtai Palace! "I just received news from the palace."
"The daughter of the Wang family gave birth to twins." A secret soldier from the Black Ice Platform came into the palace and knelt down to report.
"Twins?" Ying Zheng was stunned, with a strange look on his face.
In this era.
If it is an ordinary family, twins may be a blessing, but for an aristocratic family, twins are both legitimate sons, which has an impact and will affect the family's future inheritance issues.
Therefore, since ancient times, if there are aristocratic twins, or royal twins, they would try to get rid of one of them to avoid the family being damaged by fighting between brothers in the future.
As for the solution?
Either send one of the sons out of the family, or use cruel means.
There is no family affection among the royal family, and the same is true among the nobles.
"Dragon and phoenix twins."
The Black Ice Platform assassin immediately added.
Hearing this.
Ying Zheng's expression relaxed a little, "Zhao Feng is indeed very lucky. The daughter of the Wang family actually gave birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a girl."
"alright."
"Back off."
Ying Zheng waved his hand.
"promise."
The assassin retreated immediately.
"Having an heir is a good thing for Daqin."
"It is easier to control with both elders and young ones." Ying Zheng murmured.
For Ying Zheng.
Or for every king, if a person is free from all worries and does not covet beauties and gold and silver, this person is destined not to gain much power, because he cannot be controlled and he can rebel at any time.
In any country, a general leading troops abroad will inevitably have family members in the capital, who can be used as hostages.
It is also controlled by the royal power.
"Someone come here." Ying Zheng said loudly.
Zhao Gao immediately walked into the hall, bowed, and knelt in front of Ying Zheng: "Please give your orders, Your Majesty."
"Allow some nourishing medicines to be sent from the treasury to the palace and given to the royal daughter." Ying Zheng said slowly.
"I obey the order." Zhao Gao immediately took the order and withdrew.
At this time.
"Your Majesty, I request to see you."
A voice came from outside the hall.
Ying Zheng raised his eyes and said, "Come in."
Wei Liao walked quickly into the hall.
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty." Wei Liao bowed and kowtowed.
"You come here for no reason, what's the matter?" Ying Zheng smiled slightly.
"Your Majesty is wise." Wei Liao laughed, stood up straight, and then said: "Your Majesty, speaking of which, I am here to tell you a good news."
"Since it's good news, then don't keep it a secret." Ying Zheng smiled.
"Your Majesty needs to move to the map in the back hall to understand this good news." Wei Liao smiled.
“You bastard…”
Ying Zheng shook his head, and then did as Wei Liao wished, slowly stood up and walked towards the back hall.
The king and his minister came to the map of the world in the back hall.
"Go ahead." Ying Zheng put his hands behind his back and smiled faintly.
From his attitude towards Wei Liao, it can be seen that Ying Zheng relies on the latter.
"I have just received the military report from General Zhao Feng." Wei Liao said with a smile.
"The casualties in the Weicheng battle have been reported?" Ying Zheng understood immediately.
“It’s out.”
"In this battle, our Great Qin won a great victory."
"The total casualties were no more than 40,000, and nearly 100,000 Wei troops were killed." Wei Liao said with a smile.
"This is the first battle of the Criminal Army. Zhao Feng is indeed a genius. He came up with the strategy of the Criminal Army, allowing the surrendered soldiers to be reused and avoiding greater losses to our Great Qin." Ying Zheng said with a tone of praise.
"This strategy is indeed powerful."
"Although Zhao Feng has not yet become the king's true assistant, he will surely become the king's right-hand man in unifying the world in the future." Wei Liao said with a smile.
Ying Zheng smiled faintly, then turned around and his eyes fell on Wei Liao.
"You said you would give me some good news before coming to this map."
"Are you still keeping me in suspense?" Ying Zheng said.
"Your Majesty, please look."
Wei Liao smiled, walked to the map, then drew the sword at his waist and pointed at the map.
Then he clicked on several cities of the Wei State on the map, from Shangwei City to Lincheng.
"What do you mean?" Ying Zheng asked in surprise.
"These dozen cities have already belonged to our Great Qin." Wei Liao smiled.
"What?" Ying Zheng was stunned, obviously a little surprised.
But his eyes also fell on the map.
"Your Majesty."
"Although General Zhao drove back the Wei army, he did not sit idle. Instead, he led his army all the way north. These cities were captured by him for the Qin Dynasty."
"According to the time, we should reach Lincheng soon." Wei Liao said with a smile.
"Lincheng?"
Ying Zheng fixed his eyes on Lincheng on the map. This city was the border town connecting Wei and Zhao.
“This kid.”
"You may not be old, but you are quite courageous."
"He actually wants to open a road directly from Wei to Zhao." Ying Zheng laughed in surprise.
With Ying Zheng's vision, he understood Zhao Feng's intention at just one glance.
"This is also the good news I want to tell the king."
Wei Liao smiled, but his expression gradually became serious: "Through General Zhao's mobilization, Wei has been directly held back by General Zhao. Even if General Zhao cannot open up the road to Zhao, Wei is unable to send troops to Zhao to help."
"What's more, General Zhao did gain something this time."
"To hold back the State of Wei, to frighten it, and even to destroy it in the future."
"General Zhao's mobilization of troops can be said to kill two birds with one stone."
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "It seems that I still need to dispatch more food and supplies to Zhao Feng."
“Your Majesty, there is no need to transfer.”
"General Zhao reported that Shangwei City has stored food and grass for Wei Wuji's 200,000 troops for half a year. Now that they are under General Zhao's command, they can last for at least a year."
"And this is also the fundamental reason why General Zhao dared to attack Wei with such a small force." Wei Liao said with a smile.
"Zhao Feng, it's really interesting."
"But I am still a little distressed." Ying Zheng smiled, but there was a look of worry on his face.
"What is the king worried about?" Wei Liao asked puzzledly.
"At the beginning, I promised Zhao Feng that I would promote him to the rank of commander-in-chief as long as he could defend Weicheng. However, he has made extraordinary contributions, so promoting him to the rank of commander-in-chief is a bit unfair to him."
"And now he has led his army to capture more than a dozen cities in the State of Wei, expanding the territory of our Great Qin by nearly a thousand miles. This is also a great achievement."
"When the war is over, how should I reward him?" Ying Zheng said with a distressed look on his face.
Hear this.
Wei Liao smiled: "Indeed!"
"Look at the entire Qin Dynasty, and even the world."
"Who can compare with General Zhao Feng's promotion speed?"
"The 17-year-old commander, compared to Gan Luo in the past, has earned this through actual combat exploits."
Ying Zheng nodded, and became even more distressed: "So, I am even more distressed now. What if Zhao Feng really opened up the road to Wei and really entered Zhao to kill and gain merit?"
"If he accomplishes some great feat, how should I reward him?"
To this.
Wei Liao was not surprised.
The official positions and even the titles of nobility in the Qin Dynasty were clearly divided into different levels. Zhao Feng was now a twelfth-level nobility and was appointed as the chief general.
Above the chief general is the commander of the guard army, also known as the general.
There are only three in the entire Qin Dynasty.
There is no way to be crowned unless one of them steps down.
But it seems impossible.
Wang Jian, Meng Wu and Huan Yi were all generals of the Qin Dynasty. They were all middle-aged, which was the time when they were at their most capable.
It might take another 10 to 20 years to get them to step down.
certainly.
There is still a chance.
That is to add another large camp, but for the current Qin Dynasty, adding another large camp would require a lot of national strength, so it will not be added in the short term.
Again.
Want to become a guard captain.
In addition to military achievements, there are many other factors that influence it.
"Your Majesty, you worry too much."
"Although General Zhao's current qualifications are not enough to be appointed as the commander of the imperial guard, his title can still be raised."
"And under the King's grace, you can also ask General Zhao what he wants."
"Based on General Zhao's current performance, he will definitely have a seat as the commander of the imperial guard in the future." Wei Liao said with a smile.
"Compared to Meng Tian and Wang Ben, Zhao Feng's performance is indeed impressive enough."
"But Wei Qing is right. I was worrying too much." Ying Zheng nodded.
"From what the king is thinking, do you really think that Zhao Feng can open up the road to Zhao State?" Wei Liao said with a smile.
Hearing this.
Ying Zheng had a smile on his face: "Who knows?"
"If he really gets through, I really look forward to what he can do for Zhao State."
Wei Liao smiled and said, "Zhao Feng's purpose of mobilizing troops this time is very obvious, and Wei Wuji can naturally see through it. Wei and Zhao are allies, and Wei Wuji will definitely not watch Zhao Feng kill his way to Zhao, so he must mobilize heavy troops to defend Lincheng and block Zhao Feng's way."
"It's difficult to break through with Zhao Feng's military strength."
"See, I think he can do it." Ying Zheng smiled.
…
Sand Village!
"The Zhao family."
"The county magistrate is here again."
Wu Lizheng shouted with a smile on his face.
"Why are you here again?"
Inside the mansion.
Zhao Ying was confused.
Zhao's expression was the same.
At this time.
Shaqiu County Magistrate Yan Bing walked into the mansion with ease, followed by a group of county soldiers and servants.
"lady."
"Ms. Zhao."
When Yan Bing arrived, he immediately clasped his fists and said.
"Your Excellency the County Magistrate." Zhao's mother and daughter also bowed.
"County Magistrate, has something happened to my son again?" Zhao asked curiously.
When Yan Bing arrived, Zhao subconsciously thought it was about her son.
Otherwise, Yan Bing would never come here in person.
"Ha ha."
"I would like to congratulate Mrs. Zhao again." Yan Bing smiled and then clasped his fists to congratulate.
"Has my brother accomplished something great again?" Zhao Ying asked with a little disbelief.
"Miss Zhao is really smart."
"General Zhao has made great contributions again." Yan Bing laughed.
"Is there another war?" Zhao Ying asked in confusion.
Living in this small village, they were naturally not well-informed. And since they knew their brother was alive and well, Zhao's mother and daughter were no longer so worried and did not go to inquire about him every day.
"My Great Qin attacks Zhao."
"Wei and Zhao were allies. After Qin attacked Zhao, Wei sent troops to attack Yingchuan, which was once the land of Han."
"General Zhao Feng is highly valued by the king and is stationed in Weicheng, the gateway to Yingchuan." Yan Bing said with a smile.
Moreover, when talking about the war in Yingchuan, he seemed very excited.
"Wei attacked Yingchuan?"
"Then my brother held on to it?" Zhao Ying followed up the conversation.
"Ha ha."
"More than just defending it."
"Miss Zhao should have heard of Wei Wuji's name, right?" Yan Bing laughed.
"Lord Xinling of Wei, you must have heard of this." Zhao Ying nodded immediately.
The same goes for Zhao.
With her previous knowledge, how could she not have heard of Wei Wuji?
"General Zhao defeated the larger force with the smaller one, and the stronger one with the weaker one. He defeated Wei Wuji's army of 200,000 with his 100,000-man army, causing the Wei army to be badly defeated and flee in panic," Yan Bing said with great pride.
It was as if he had witnessed Zhao Feng's heroic feat of defeating the enemy on the battlefield with his own eyes.
"Wei Wuji lost to Feng'er?"
Even Zhao was surprised when she heard it.
Zhao really had a deep impression of who Wei Wuji was.
In Zhao’s memory.
Once when I was in Handan.
Young Zhao and Zhao Zheng stood on the street watching the excitement, with Zhao Zheng's teacher Shen Yue beside them.
And at this time.
The middle-aged Wei Wuji was sent as an envoy to the State of Zhao.
At that time.
Shen Yue commented on Wei Wuji.
"Zheng'er."
"After you return to Qin in the future, you must understand clearly who your enemy is and who your opponent is."
"For example, Lian Po and Li Mu of Zhao could be rivals of Qin."
"And in Wei State, the one you have to worry about is Wei Wuji. He is extremely good at commanding troops and he is also the most important person in Wei State right now. Remember to be careful." Shen Yue said to Zhao Zheng in a teaching tone.
"I will remember your words, teacher." Zhao Zheng replied seriously.
And Zhao who was standing by also remembered it.
It is at this moment.
Zhao was even more surprised this time because he thought of Shen Yue's comments and Wei Wuji's strength.
His own son actually defeated Wei Wuji, who was famous throughout the world?
How is this possible? "Didn't Madam Zhao expect this?"
"Ha ha."
"The news that General Zhao defeated Wei Wuji has now spread. Soon, the whole world will know General Zhao's name."
"Lord Xinling of Wei State was defeated by the youngest general of the Great Qin State."
"If this gets out, it will make the Qin Dynasty even more famous." Yan Bing said with a big laugh.
Perhaps this is also a sense of national pride.
“This is indeed somewhat unexpected.”
"My son can actually defeat Wei Wuji." Zhao said slowly.
"This is a royal decree."
"The king's reward to General Zhao."
"I won't read it out. Please receive the edict, madam." Yan Bing smiled and handed the royal edict directly to Zhao.
Zhao took the royal edict with both hands.
Open it and take a look.
There was a trace of astonishment on his face: "Feng'er was appointed as the commander?"
"The military merit system of the Great Qin is strict, and meritorious service will be rewarded."
"General Zhao has defeated Wei Wuji and protected the territory of our Great Qin. He will surely be rewarded handsomely by the King."
"Last year, General Zhao was the youngest deputy general of our Great Qin. Now he has become the youngest commander of the Great Qin."
"Perhaps one day in the future, General Zhao will become the supreme general of our Great Qin." Yan Bing said with a somewhat awe-inspiring tone.
In Daqin.
There are many county towns, but not many commanders. As Zhao Feng became the commander, his official rank was higher than that of the county governor, which naturally made Yan Bing more awed.
"Thank you for seeing me off, County Magistrate." Zhao came to her senses and thanked Yan Bing.
"You're welcome, ma'am."
"It is a blessing for Shaqiu County to have such a great man as General Zhao," Yan Bing replied immediately.
Then.
Wave your hand.
Just like the previous two times.
One hundred slaves and various monetary rewards were all delivered to the mansion.
"This time, in addition to the one hundred slaves, the king also gave an additional fifty guards to protect the lady."
"These ladies can make their own arrangements." Yan Bing said with a smile.
Zhao took a look and nodded: "Thank you."
As Zhao Feng made achievements step by step.
Originally the Zhao family had only three thatched huts, but now it has become a large mansion. Originally the family consisted of only Zhao's mother and daughter, but now there are more than 300 people, and so many people are there to take care of Zhao's mother and daughter.
"lady."
"I wonder if you have heard some news?" Yan Bing said suddenly with a smile.
"What news?" Zhao was stunned.
"It's about General Zhao's marriage." Yan Bing said with a smile.
"Feng'er's marriage?" Zhao looked puzzled: "Well, I haven't arranged a marriage with Feng'er yet."
"lady."
"I heard a piece of news from Xianyang."
"This is what a friend of mine in the court told me."
"General Zhao and General Wang Jian's daughter have become engaged." Yan Bing said in a tentative tone.
For this news.
When he first heard it, Yan Bing was shocked.
General!
There are only three in the Great Qin.
In the absence of a national commander, the three generals are directly under the command of the current king. They are truly in high positions and have great power, and few people in the court dare to offend them.
"General Wang Jian's daughter?"
“Is this true or false?”
"I don't know." Zhao was completely shocked.
"lady."
"This news was told to me by my close friends in the court. It is definitely not false."
"I heard."
"Originally, the current eldest son Fusu asked General Wang Jian for mercy, but the general refused because General Zhao Feng and the daughter of the Wang family were already engaged."
"If General Zhao can really marry the general's daughter, it will be of great significance to General Zhao."
"I would also like to congratulate Madam." Yan Bing said with a smile.
"I really don't know about this. We can only find out after Feng'er comes back." Zhao said in a thoughtful tone.
Her son had been away from home for two years, and Zhao knew even less about her son than Yan Bing did, so she really didn't know anything.
"Ha ha."
"It's good that Madam knows."
"When General Zhao gets married someday, I'll come and ask for a glass of wedding wine." Yan Bing smiled.
After a round of polite noise.
Yan Bing also left Zhao's house with his men.
However, Zhao's mother and daughter just stared at each other.
"Brother, you're really something."
"We didn't know about his engagement with my sister-in-law, but others knew about it." Zhao Ying said with some jealousy.
"This news is not certain yet. You will know when your brother comes home."
"And if it's true, it's a good thing." Zhao was relatively calm.
"I don't know what kind of person my sister-in-law is."
"I heard that many women from big families have bad tempers. I wonder what kind of temper the girl I found will have." Zhao Ying pouted, still feeling a little jealous.
Zhao smiled slightly, looked at her daughter's expression, and then teased: "You are worried that your brother will not love you anymore after you have a sister-in-law."
Zhao Ying blushed, then she took her mother's hand and shook it, saying coquettishly, "Mom."
…
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye.
More than half a month has passed.
Lincheng!
The flags of the Wei army were flying over the city.
It can be seen that countless Wei troops are guarding this city.
And in front of the city.
"Wind, wind, wind."
The wind roared.
Thousands of arrows were fired at once.
Tens of thousands of Qin soldiers in front of the city were holding bows and arrows and shooting at the city.
Arrows rained down.
From time to time, Wei soldiers in the city were killed by arrows. Those with shields were fine, but many without shields dodged in fear and could only pray that the arrows would not hit them.
After a while.
After all 50,000 arrows have been fired.
"withdraw."
Wei Quan let out a low shout.
Thousands of elite soldiers evacuated from the city in an orderly manner and returned to the military camp.
"Damn Qin Jun."
Looking at the retreating Qin army.
The Wei generals and soldiers on the city wall were extremely angry.
Facing Qin Jian, they had no way to deal with him.
I can only endure it passively.
The range of Qin's arrows exceeded 30% of the range of bows and arrows of other countries, and this 30% also allowed Qin to lead on the battlefield.
In the Qin army camp! Zhao Feng sat in the main seat, drinking water, very calm.
"Your Highness, General."
"Today's radiation mission has been completed."
"All 50,000 arrows have been fired." After returning to the main tent, he immediately reported to Zhao Feng.
"How many arrows are left?" Zhao Feng looked up at Tu Sui and asked.
"General."
"There are enough arrows."
"When the Wei army attacked that day, our army had 500,000 arrows stored in the city. After cleaning up the battlefield, all these arrows were transported back here. Although there are not 500,000 arrows, there are more than 300,000 arrows, which are enough for our army to use." Tu Sui replied immediately.
"These used arrows are more powerful than the unused ones."
"It's enough to make the Wei army suffer a lot." Zhao Feng sneered.
Why did Zhao Feng say so.
Then we have to talk about the Seven Day Wind.
You can say that.
When defending Weicheng, those arrows had been used and became dirty.
Although many arrowheads were replaced, more were not. If these arrows injured the enemy, there was a high probability of infection. Once infected in this era, death was almost certain.
"Tomorrow, mobilize 20,000 elite soldiers to shoot these 300,000 arrows." Zhao Feng said in a deep voice.
"General, are you planning to use arrows to suppress the enemy and attack tomorrow?" Tu Sui understood immediately.
"According to intelligence."
"The number of Wei troops defending this city is no less than 70,000."
"In addition to the county soldiers, there are also elite troops transferred from the State of Wei."
"It's difficult to break into the city head-on." Wu Yue said.
"Don't overestimate the Wei army, and don't underestimate the Qin elite soldiers under my command." Zhao Feng smiled faintly, with a sense of confidence.
"I would like to serve as the vanguard." Wei Quan stood up and asked for the order.
Look at Wei Quan who is directly taking the lead.
The other generals also came back to their senses and stood up: "I will serve you."
"This battle."
"All 60,000 of our soldiers are the vanguard."
"Tomorrow, I will lead the army to break through the city with arrows."
"Take over Lincheng in one fell swoop." Zhao Feng said in a deep voice.
"I will obey your orders."
All the generals said in unison.
"alright."
"Everyone, go down and rest."
"Let the soldiers have enough food and water."
"Tomorrow will be a real bloody battle." Zhao Feng said in a deep voice.
"Yes." The generals took their leave one after another.
"A battle tomorrow."
"As long as we capture Lincheng, we can completely open the road to Zhao State."
"We cannot be absent from the battle to destroy Zhao." Zhao Feng's eyes were filled with ambition.
At this time!
"Report."
"The general sent a letter from home." Zhang Ming walked quickly into the tent.
"Could it be that Yan'er gave birth?"
Zhao Feng immediately became excited. Even though he was usually calm when facing the killing on the battlefield, he was now trembling and nervous in his heart.
Think of this.
Zhao Feng did not dare to delay, he stood up and took the letter from Zhang Ming.
With slightly trembling hands, he opened the book.
Catch the eye.
Just one sentence.
"Yan'er has gone into labor and has given birth to twins, a boy and a girl. The first one to be born is a boy, and the second one to be born is a girl."
This is the sentence in the letter home.
Zhao Feng's eyes widened, and his hands were shaking as he held the letter from home.
"I have a successor."
"I, Zhao Feng, have an heir."
"A pair of children."
"It's really a blessing from heaven." Zhao Feng seemed extremely excited at this moment.
Two lives as a human being.
But in this life, Zhao Feng has his own descendants, his own bloodline.
People whose souls were originally rootless seem to have roots.
"Congratulations, my Lord."
Zhang Ming, who was standing by, heard this and immediately congratulated him.
"It seems that this time, it is not only for killing the enemy and making meritorious service, but also for my children. I must also charge into Zhao State and destroy Zhao as soon as possible. Only in this way can I go home quickly and marry Yan'er." Zhao Feng's heart was full of determination at this moment.
And after this moment.
There was also an unspeakable worry in Zhao Feng's eyes.
"The attributes of burying corpses and picking them up will be issued soon."
"Does the host receive the attribute?"
Just at this moment.
A prompt sounded on the panel.
Hear this.
Zhao Feng came back to his senses instantly.
"It seems."
"The bodies of Weicheng have been buried."
"I just don't know how many bodies my soldiers have buried." Zhao Feng was also looking forward to it.
