Chapter 125 King Fusu issued an edict to reward Zhao Feng!
In front of Jinyang City!
Qin army camp!
Zhao Feng held the bow and put six arrows on the black iron bow. With Zhao Feng's enormous strength, the black iron bow, which was not something that ordinary people could pull, was instantly pulled into a full moon.
Bang! The black iron bow trembled.
Six arrows turned into lightning and shot out in an instant.
Almost instantly.
Bang bang bang.
The centers of the six targets were pierced in an instant.
"It all goes back to the master's archery skills. He shot six arrows in a row, and every arrow hit its target." Tu Sui said with a smile.
"yes."
"Compared to my lord's six consecutive arrows that never missed their target, my best shot is just two consecutive arrows." Zhang Han also said with a smile.
“When you are able to step into the innate realm and your realm is sufficient, and your internal force is transformed into true energy, your strength will be even stronger.” Zhao Feng smiled.
“My lord, I have now reached the seventh level of the acquired realm, and the innate realm is not far away.” Zhang Han said excitedly.
Feeling the surging internal force in Dantian, he possessed strength far beyond that of ordinary people when it exploded.
"Practice well. The post-natal realm is only the threshold of martial arts after all."
"Try to make sure you all reach the peak of your acquired realm before we destroy Zhao this time. Then I will help you break through to your innate realm." Zhao Feng said in a deep voice.
"Thank you, Lord." Everyone bowed excitedly.
"Speaking of which."
"The other two main camps of Lantian have been attacking Jinyang for nearly half a month, but they have not yet broken into the city."
"If our Lord had attacked, the city would have been breached long ago." Tu Sui said somewhat dissatisfiedly.
Almost half a month has passed since the defeat of Lian Po.
However, despite days of fierce attacks, Jinyang City's defense remained solid and was not breached.
This naturally made Tu Sui and the others very excited.
If it were them, they would have broken into the city long ago.
This is also their confidence in their master. Whenever they follow their master to attack, they have absolute confidence and morale, and even their combat effectiveness is improved.
Although they couldn't express the feeling, it was real.
"If we are able to take the credit for conquering Jinyang this time, all the generals in the entire Lantian camp will target us in the future." Zhao Feng smiled and said to Tu Sui.
As soon as these words fell.
Tu Sui was stunned for a moment, then nodded in understanding: "That's right, our Lord led us to attack and kill all the way, expanded the territory of Qin by thousands of miles, and killed Lian Po. This is a real great achievement. I'm afraid it has already aroused the jealousy of many people. Now that we have come to Jinyang, if we let them take credit for it, I'm afraid they will really target our Lord and us."
"The Great Qin Military Merit System is all about military merit."
Zhao Feng smiled calmly: "So, there is no need to rush."
"The territory of Zhao is still very large, and it will take a long time to destroy Zhao. I will give Jinyang City to them, but the subsequent military achievements will depend on their own abilities." Zhao Feng said in a deep voice.
Although he had said before that he was concerned about being targeted by those so-called generals, would Zhao Feng be afraid?
When he was targeted by his direct generals in the past, Zhao Feng fought his way out with his own strength and even surpassed Chen Tao.
against?
It doesn't exist in front of Zhao Feng's absolute strength.
"Report."
"Jinyang City has been breached."
"The general sent the Lord to the camp to discuss matters."
Zhang Ming walked over quickly.
"Order the entire army to prepare for battle."
"Next, we will also have a war." Zhao Feng immediately said to the generals.
"promise."
Tu Sui and other generals immediately accepted the order, while Zhao Feng, surrounded by his personal guards, walked towards the general's tent.
Inside the tent! Generals Yang Duanhe and Wang Ben were waiting in the camp. Judging from their murderous aura, they had obviously just retreated from the battlefield.
"Admiral."
After Zhao Feng entered the tent, he bowed.
"Forget it." Wang Jian waved his hand.
"General Zhao."
Yang Duanhe and Wang Ben smiled and clasped their fists in return.
"Congratulations to the two generals on successfully conquering Jinyang City."
"I wonder what the outcome of the battle was?" Zhao Feng asked with a smile.
The city of Jinyang was attacked by Yang Duanhe and Wang Ben together, with each of them attacking one gate. The credit for breaking the city also belongs to the two of them.
"Now the elite soldiers are still fighting in the city, but the State of Zhao has already been defeated." Yang Duanhe said with a smile.
"I originally thought that Jinyang City was well defended and that Yan Ju was some formidable Zhao general. However, as we broke into the city, the Zhao army was defeated and Yan Ju fled with his troops. It turns out that he is not a very powerful figure." Wang Ben said with some sarcasm.
"It is a blessing for our Great Qin to have such a general." Zhao Feng said with a smile.
"That's true."
"If all the generals in Zhao State were of this level, it would be easy for my Great Qin to destroy Zhao." Wang Jian said with a smile.
"The key to this battle, in addition to the bravery of our soldiers, is that our army knew in advance the strength and defense of Jinyang City. Otherwise, it would take some time to capture it."
"Although the Zhao army guarding Jinyang is not elite, they have the advantage of numbers," said Wang Ben.
"The general summoned me here this time. It must be about military business, right?" Zhao Feng didn't want to waste time, so he looked at Wang Jian and asked.
"In addition to military affairs, there is another happy event concerning you." Wang Jian smiled and waved his hand.
"Please welcome the royal envoy."
The commander of the personal guards immediately shouted outside the tent.
After a while.
First, a group of guards entered the tent, each of them wearing armor and carrying a sword.
See this situation.
Zhao Feng was slightly stunned.
He had received the royal edict several times, so why did it feel a little different today?
Why are there guards entering the camp? It's like they're trying to arrest someone.
The next moment.
Two guards opened the tent.
A gentle, handsome young man dressed in noble clothes walked slowly into the tent, and behind him was a person Zhao Feng was particularly familiar with.
"Welcome, young master."
"Welcome Han Fei, the king's envoy."
See who's coming.
Wang Jian bowed immediately.
In terms of official rank, Fusu and Han Fei were naturally inferior to Wang Jian, and the ceremony performed by Wang Jian this time was a ceremony to welcome the royal envoy.
As for the princes of the royal family, there is actually no need to perform formalities. It depends on the individual.
Unless the prince of the royal family is named the crown prince, he must perform the duties of a subject.
"Fusu?"
"It is similar to the historical records."
"He is handsome and gentle."
"What a pity that he is a fool who has been brainwashed by Confucianism."
When Zhao Feng heard this, he immediately understood the identity of the nobleman in front of him.
“This guy is here too.”
"It seems that life in Xianyang is quite comfortable."
One look at Han Fei.
Zhao Feng couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, recalling the scene when he escorted Han Fei and this guy was tortured by him.
"No need to be polite, General."
Fusu smiled slightly and waved at Wang Jian.
"Thank you, Young Master." Wang Jian immediately stood up and smiled.
"Fusu is here, so there must be a royal decree."
"The reward from the King of Qin has arrived."
“It feels great.”
Seeing Fusu and Han Fei coming, and they were the king's envoys, Zhao Feng immediately thought: "I wonder how the King of Qin will reward me this time."
certainly.
Zhao Feng also understood.
Now he has been ranked as the chief general, and the next step is the commander of the guards, which is the general.
This is obviously impossible with Zhao Feng's current qualifications.
So Zhao Feng also knew that the King of Qin would add to his title.
The reason why the Qin Dynasty had twenty titles was not only to urge its people to kill the enemies and make meritorious services, but also to worry about the situation where there would be no more titles to be bestowed.
Therefore, the award of titles and the award of official positions are complementary.
"Which one of them is General Zhao Feng?"
Fusu walked forward and asked with a smile.
However, his eyes only took a quick glance and then fixed on Zhao Feng.
After all, Zhao Feng’s age had long been known, and one could tell the young Zhao Feng at just a glance.
"This is General Zhao Feng."
Wang Jian smiled and pointed at Zhao Feng beside him.
Zhao Feng did not hesitate, he walked forward, clasped his fists, and said calmly without any subordinate etiquette: "Greetings, Master."
Although he was the son of the King of Qin, Zhao Feng had nothing to be afraid of.
Thinking about that day when Meng Jia threatened me to leave Wang Yan.
Zhao Feng was puzzled and a little unhappy with Fusu. Maybe it was not Fusu who did it, but it was done by his subordinates for him.
Zhao Feng is not a person who does not bear grudges.
Seeing Zhao Feng's cold attitude, Fusu was not angry, but smiled slightly: "When I was in Xianyang, Fusu had heard of General Zhao's name for a long time."
"Zhao Feng is just a military man. You are praising me too much, young master." Zhao Feng still replied indifferently.
As soon as these words came out.
Fusu didn't know what to say. He clearly felt Zhao Feng's attitude of keeping people at a distance.
Even though he was the eldest son and came here in person, Zhao Feng didn't seem to have much enthusiasm.
“This kid.”
When Wang Jian saw this, he shook his head helplessly.
He understood Fusu's identity, so he naturally couldn't let Zhao Feng continue to be so cold to him.
He immediately stood up and asked: "My Lord, are you here to read the royal decree?"
This made Fusu come back to his senses and eased some of the embarrassment.
"That's right." Fusu nodded, then took out the royal edict from his arms.
"The King of Qin's edict!"
A loud shout.
Fusu opened the royal edict.
As soon as the king's edict came out.
All the generals and guards in the hall bowed and paid homage.
Meeting the royal edict was like meeting the king in person.
"Your Highness, I respectfully listen to your command."
All the generals in the tent bowed.
"Royal edict!"
"Qin's chief general Zhao Feng marched north to attack Wei, seizing a thousand miles of territory and dozens of cities for Qin, and opening up the road between Yingchuan and Zhao. This was a great achievement."
"After entering Zhao, he killed the Zhao general Lian Po and made great contributions."
"For these two great achievements, I will reward you with two ranks of rank."
"Your Excellency [Right]."
"All the officers and soldiers under Zhao Feng's command will be rewarded according to their merits, and all generals above the rank of captain will be promoted one level."
"General Zhao Feng, please accept the imperial edict." Fusu read aloud.
Zhao Feng immediately stepped forward and held it up with both hands: "Your Majesty, I, Zhao Feng, thank you for your grace."
Then Fusu immediately put the royal edict in Zhao Feng's hands.
"The king said so."
"He hopes that General Zhao Feng can continue his efforts and make new contributions to the Qin Dynasty. The king is looking forward to meeting General Zhao Feng in Xianyang one day." Fusu smiled slightly and said again.
"I will remember your words, Your Majesty." Zhao Feng replied.
At this time.
Han Fei also stepped forward and said with a smile: "The king also asked me to bring a message. General Zhao has made great contributions, especially in expanding the territory of Qin. The king said that if General Zhao Feng wants anything, just ask. If the king can do it, then reward him."
“Is this true or false?”
Zhao Feng's eyebrows moved and he immediately became interested.
"Your Majesty's words are of course true." Han Fei said with a smile.
"I would like to beg the king to grant me a marriage with the general's daughter." Zhao Feng said immediately.
Now Wang Yan has given birth to a pair of children for him. It is obviously not a good idea for her to give birth to children before she gets married.
But if the marriage is granted by royal decree, everything will be different, and Wang Yan will receive endless glory.
This is also what Zhao Feng thought.
Hear this.
Han Fei smiled.
Wang Jian also smiled, but on Wang Jian's face there was a look of relief that came from an old father.
He naturally knew what Zhao Feng was thinking. It was nothing more than giving his daughter a status bestowed by royal power so that Wang Yan could live a dignified life in the future.
"General Zhao, you can change the conditions." Han Fei said with a smile.
"Why?" Zhao Feng frowned. Didn't they agree to raise the issue? Why didn't they agree to such a simple condition?
"As for the marriage, the king has already promised General Wang Jian. Once the general destroys the State of Zhao, he will grant the marriage between General Zhao and the daughter of the Wang family." Han Fei said with a smile.
Hearing this.
Zhao Feng also looked at Wang Jian with some emotion.
Then.
"So that's how it is." Zhao Feng nodded, and his frown relaxed.
"Is there anything else General Zhao wants?"
"This is a special favor bestowed by the King in appreciation of the general's military achievements for the Qin Dynasty."
"This is the only chance." Han Fei said with a smile.
"If you can really ask for anything, then..." Zhao Feng smiled, his eyes flashed: "I want the thousand-year-old blood ginseng of Daqin."
Upon hearing this.
Fusu, Wang Jian, and even Han Fei could not help but look at Zhao Feng in shock.
"The blood ginseng in the national treasury is a treasure of the Great Qin National Treasury. It has the power to bring the dead back to life. Even if a person is about to die, it can keep him alive."
"General Zhao, you really dare to speak." Han Fei said mischievously.
"What do you want to do with this blood ginseng?" Wang Jian asked curiously.
To this.
Zhao Feng naturally did not hide it: "My mother was seriously injured when she gave birth to me and my sister. She was weak and sickly. I want to use this blood ginseng to nourish her body."
certainly.
Zhao Feng also held the idea of not wasting it at this moment. As his strength increased, he already had some ideas about taking care of his mother's health, but the effect of this blood ginseng would definitely be better.
"General Zhao wants the blood ginseng out of filial piety. I will report this to the king after I return to Xianyang."
"As for whether the king will grant it or not, that depends on the king's will." Han Fei said with a smile.
"Thank you." Zhao Feng immediately clasped his fists.
"General Zhao, may I have a private chat with you?"
At this time.
Fusu suddenly opened his mouth and looked at Zhao Feng and asked.
Zhao Feng glanced at Fusu, then said calmly: "Since the eldest prince has spoken, I will wait outside the camp."
Speaking of.
Zhao Feng walked out of the tent.
Seeing this, Fusu immediately followed.
Wang Jian looked at the backs of the two people leaving the tent one after another, with a hint of deep thought in his eyes.
Outside the camp.
On a vacant lot.
Zhao Feng turned around and looked at Fusu in front of him, still unimpressed: "I wonder what's the important matter, young master?"
Fusu didn't say anything.
But suddenly he bowed to Zhao Feng and saluted with his fists clasped.
"Why is this happening, young master?" Zhao Feng glanced at him and asked calmly.
"I already know about Meng Jia's threat to General Zhao that day."
"This was not my intention, and I had no idea before he did this."
"The reason I came to Zhao this time is not only to reward the general on behalf of my father, but also to apologize to the general."
"I, Fusu, cannot and will not force a marriage to end."
Fusu raised his head and said sincerely.
See here.
Zhao Feng also understood. Just as he thought, the previous events were indeed not arranged by Fusu. After all, no matter how pedantic Fusu was, he would not do such a stupid thing.
Because that's stupidity, not pedantry.
"Let's just leave it at that."
"And the man who called himself Meng Jia was also taught a lesson by me that day."
"I hope he won't cause trouble again in the future." Zhao Feng said slowly.
Since Fusu has apologized, and he apologized as the eldest prince, Zhao Feng has no reason not to accept it. After all, he has not suffered any loss.
For Zhao Feng.
In today's era, we should just focus on getting stronger on the warships of the Qin Dynasty, and wait until the Qin Shi Huang dies in the future and the world is divided.
That was the time point that Zhao Feng had been really looking forward to. He, Zhao Feng, would definitely fight for his ambition to be king and hegemony.
Fusu!
Although he was the eldest son, he was ultimately a tragic figure in history.
"Don't worry, General Zhao."
"Meng Jia and even the Meng family will never dare to come to General Zhao again."
"And I will pass on the instructions. I will never offend the general because of this." Fusu immediately promised.
"Since the eldest master has said so, then naturally I, Zhao Feng, have nothing to worry about." Zhao Feng smiled slightly, and his tone became better.
Seeing Zhao Feng like this.
Fusu also smiled: "That's good."
"Sir, I think you have something else to say to the general."
"I still have some things to do in the army, so I'll take my leave first." Zhao Feng clasped his fists towards Fusu, turned around and walked towards his own military camp.
See here.
Fusu didn't say anything else.
At least.
The misunderstanding was cleared up.
If you want to win over someone?
Fusu also realized that Zhao Feng still had some prejudice against him and kept his distance.
Moreover, Fusu could also feel that Zhao Feng had an indescribable arrogance. Even when facing him, the eldest son, Zhao Feng was not at all restrained.
"Zhao Feng."
"It's different from ordinary people."
Fusu thought with emotion in his heart.
But Fusu didn't bother about anything anymore and returned to Wang Jian's tent.
And after Zhao Feng returned to the military camp.
The generals followed immediately.
"General, what is the important matter that the general summoned you for?" Tu Sui asked curiously.
Zhao Feng glanced at the generals, and then said, "Call all the soldiers."
"The reward has arrived?" Zhang Han was very smart and asked excitedly immediately.
"Quickly gather the entire army." Tu Sui gave the order immediately.
Zhao Feng led all the generals to the reviewing platform.
Not long.
Fifty thousand soldiers stood on the parade ground.
Except for the more than 10,000 soldiers who were stationed to guard and capture the Wei city, the rest are all here.
"The whole army shall repeat what this general has said."
Zhao Feng stood on the platform and spoke loudly.
"The general's words shall be repeated by the whole army."
The soldiers on the parade ground shouted.
"Brothers."
"Today is a good day."
"Zhao Jinyang City was breached by my Lantian Camp."
"And the royal envoy from the imperial court has also arrived. The royal envoy has come to reward our army's meritorious soldiers."
"I am too lazy to read out the royal decree."
"In short, rewards will be given based on merit. Regardless of whether the soldiers who follow me into battle kill the enemy or not, their titles can be promoted by at least one level. And those who kill more enemies will have their titles promoted to a higher level." Zhao Feng said with a smile.
This bright smile was completely different from the one he had when he first met Fusu.
Zhao Feng was also relaxed in front of his comrades. In front of unfamiliar people, no matter if they were princes or nobles, or people in high positions, Zhao Feng didn't care.
Zhao Feng hated hypocrisy the most.
certainly.
What allows Zhao Feng to have this ability to ignore capital is his own strength.
Listening to Zhao Feng’s announcement.
Every soldier on the parade ground was smiling happily.
"Hahaha."
"Everyone can be promoted at least one rank, so I can be promoted two ranks this time. I killed a military marquis of Zhao State, which is a great achievement."
"You killed a military marquis, which is not bad, but I killed a captain, so I am at least a third-level noble."
"I never thought that I was a surrendered soldier. After defending Weicheng, I became a real first-class noble soldier. Now I am going to become a third-class noble soldier."
"All of this is due to the general's grace. If the general had not proposed the idea of the prisoner army, we would have remained slaves forever and would never have been able to escape slavery. All of this was brought about by the general."
"That's right."
"It is our honor to be able to follow the general and fight the enemy together in this life."
"I feel that as long as I follow the general, there will be no enemy that I cannot defeat."
"I think so too. I am not afraid of death if I follow the general to kill the enemy. I just need to follow the general and fight all the way."
"I will follow the general till death."
"I will follow the general till death..."
In excitement, the entire parade ground erupted in loud cheers, and every soldier looked at Zhao Feng with fanatical eyes.
This army already has a military soul.
And the soul of the army is Zhao Feng.
Invisible.
Zhao Feng has gone from being a logistics soldier to the soul of a main combat battalion.
For the soldiers under his command.
The original elite soldiers can make contributions and get promoted again. As for those criminal soldiers, of course there are no more criminal soldiers under Zhao Feng's command, because they have all been reborn through this war and have become the real elite soldiers of Qin.
"Except for all the officers and soldiers under my command, all those above the rank of captain will be promoted one level higher."
"Tu Sui, Zhang Han."
"Today is a day of great joy for our entire army."
"Pass on my order and ask the Fire Camp to prepare more food so that the brothers can have their fill." Zhao Feng said loudly.
"I obey your command." Tu Sui and Zhang Han replied immediately.
"alright."
"Let's go."
Zhao Feng waved his hand and didn't allow the soldiers to say anything more.
The reason for calling them together is to make them happy.
"General."
"Jinyang City has been breached. Should we mobilize our troops?" Tu Sui asked expectantly.
"Wait for the general's order."
"It should be soon." Zhao Feng smiled slightly.
"Okay." Tu Sui nodded heavily.
"It's a pity that there is no wine at the moment, otherwise we could drink to our heart's content."
"Especially the wine from our Jiuxianlou." Zhang Han said somewhat intoxicated.
But as soon as the words fell.
Tu Sui glared at him immediately: "Ahem."
Zhang Han suddenly came back to his senses and looked around worriedly. He was relieved to see that they were all his own people.
"You scared me." Zhang Han whispered.
"Don't talk nonsense. If someone finds out, it will not be good for the master." Tu Sui said seriously.
Zhang Han glanced at Zhao Feng secretly and nodded immediately: "I made a mistake in my words."
"There's nothing wrong with you, so be careful with your words when you're out there."
"If others find out, you know what to do with it." Zhao Feng glanced and said in a deep voice.
Zhang Han immediately said, "I understand."
After explaining.
Zhao Feng also asked Tu Sui and others to withdraw.
And Zhao Feng sat on the platform for selecting generals.
"Get the treasure chest." Zhao Feng couldn't wait.
"The host is promoted to level two and is rewarded with two first-level treasure chests." The panel prompted.
"Open them all." Zhao Feng said immediately.
"Open the first-level treasure chest."
"Obtained a high-quality first-grade [Three-legged Alchemy Furnace]."
"Obtain a bottle of second-level low-quality [True Qi Pill]." The panel prompted.
"I'm lucky this time."
"One is of high quality, first grade, and the other is of low quality, second grade." Zhao Feng smiled contentedly.
At this time.
"Brother Zhao is very leisurely."
A voice came from Zhao Feng's voice.
One look.
Han Fei walked over slowly.
But when he reached the entrance of the stairs, several guards blocked his way.
These are Zhao Feng’s personal guards. No matter who the target is, no one is allowed to get close without the order of the lord.
Zhao Feng turned his head and waved his hand.
The guards then made way.
"It looks like you're having a good time in Xianyang."
"They have gained a lot of weight."
Zhao Feng said with a somewhat teasing tone.
Familiar tone, familiar ridicule.
Han Fei couldn't help but glance at him, but he still sat down opposite Zhao Feng as if he were an acquaintance.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but you're still alive." Han Fei replied unhappily.
"I thought you were going to die in Xianyang. How come you are alive?"
"This is not like the original Han Fei." Zhao Feng teased again.
"This isn't a thank you."
"If you hadn't reminded me, I would have really died." Han Fei said with a smile. Although his tone was teasing, his gratitude was also obvious.
Upon hearing this.
Zhao Feng became interested and said with a smile, "Tell me, is Li Si planning to poison you, or bribe the jailer to do it to you?"
Han Fei looked at Zhao Feng strangely: "I am a little curious. You are in a foreign land, thousands of miles away from me. How did you know that Li Si wanted to kill me? And how did you know about the poisoned wine?"
"I am a god." Zhao Feng said with a smile.
"screw you."
Han Fei replied unhappily.
"Honestly."
"When I first saw the words you left me, I really didn't expect it, let alone that my former classmate wanted to kill me."
"If I hadn't been alert and pulled Li Si's enemy to scare him, I would have really died in the imperial prison..."
Han Fei did not hide anything in front of Zhao Feng and directly told him what happened in the imperial prison that day.
"You have been through the gates of hell."
"No wonder you know how to enjoy yourself and have gained weight." Zhao Feng teased again.
"screw you."
"How can I enjoy it?"
"I have been working diligently in the past year since I came to Qin," Han Fei said with a smile.
Being with Zhao Feng, Han Fei couldn't help but relax a lot and was not as stiff as he was in Xianyang.
"Are you coming to Zhao State specifically to see me this time?" Zhao Feng asked with a smile.
