Chapter 127 Wang Yan comes to Sha Village! Zhao is shocked!

Chapter 127 Wang Yan comes to Sha Village! Zhao is shocked!

From Yan Dan's tone, it can be heard that he is full of hatred and fear towards Ying Zheng.

In his opinion.

Ying Zheng is a more terrifying existence than Zhao Yan.

If Zhao State was destroyed, the border between Yan State and Qin State would become even more dangerous.

"Prince."

"But now our Great Yan and Qin are allies, and Qin sent troops to save our Great Yan. If we don't pursue and attack the Zhao army now, will the King of Qin be angry?" Le Cheng said worriedly.

"Admiral."

"Ying Zheng, there is Qin State that is more terrifying than Zhao State."

"As for this so-called alliance, it was obtained by our Great Yan at the cost of our national strength. Our Great Yan does not owe Qin anything."

"Listen to me. Don't pursue them. Let the Zhao army retreat on their own. We will gradually take back the cities captured by Zhao until we restore the territory of Great Yan."

"If Zhao State is really facing destruction at that time, my Great Yan may be able to send troops into Zhao to seize the city." Yan Dan said in a deep voice, with ambition flashing in his eyes.

"Should I report this to the King?" Le Cheng was still a little hesitant.

Listening to Yan Dan's words, he always felt that he was a little too reckless.

Yan Dan frowned and looked at Le Cheng coldly: "Do as I say."

"Without my order, you must not engage in battle with the Zhao army. Just force them to leave the territory of Great Yan."

See here.

Le Cheng nodded helplessly: "I will obey your orders."

"Ying Zheng."

"You betrayed your promise and caused Great Yan to pay such a heavy price. Countless people died. I will never watch you destroy Zhao."

"One day, I will make you regret it." Yan Dan clenched his fists, feeling extremely angry.

Dai Di!

Inside the border town.

Li Mu held the royal edict that had just been received, his face looking very ugly.

"General, what's wrong?"

Deputy General Sima Shang looked at Li Mu and asked.

"The king has issued an edict, ordering me to defeat the invading Qin army within three months, otherwise my military power will be withdrawn." Li Mu put down the royal edict and said solemnly.

Sima Shang's expression suddenly changed: "How could the king do this?"

"Don't you know who Meng Wu is?"

"It is obviously impossible to defeat Mengwu within three months."

"Meng Wu has not taken the initiative to attack at all. He is fighting and retreating. He retreats when our army attacks. How can we defeat him?"

"It is obvious that the king is targeting the general." Sima Shang said in a deep voice.

"So what if I'm being targeted?"

"He is the king and I am the subject." Li Mu sighed with helplessness.

"But General, this is clearly an impossible task. It cannot be accomplished no matter what."

"Changing generals in the middle of a battle is a taboo in military strategy."

"Don't you know, Your Majesty?" Sima Shang asked angrily.

Li Mu shook his head: "Qin State uses Meng Wu to lead the army to hold back our border troops. Once our army leaves the city, the Qin army will retreat. Once we return to the city, the Qin army will attack again. This is unsolvable."

"Then what should we do?" Sima Shang looked at Li Mu.

"Attack."

"Since the king wants to attack, then let him do as he wishes."

"If Qin attacks, my border troops will fight to the bitter end with the Qin army."

"If he offends my Great Zhao, then my Great Zhao can also offend him." Although Li Mu is good at commanding troops, he also has a very rough personality.

…

Qin State!

Xianyang Palace!

Fusu and Han Fei have returned.

"I met Zhao Feng!"

Ying Zheng sat on the throne and asked while reviewing the memorials.

"Reporting to my father, I have seen him." Fusu replied.

"How do you feel?" Ying Zheng raised his head and asked Fusu.

Although Zhao Feng's military exploits were known throughout the world, Ying Zheng had never seen Zhao Feng and had only heard about him in military reports.

But Ying Zheng was also very curious about Zhao Feng.

"General Zhao has a free and easy personality, and is a bit arrogant." Fusu smiled and replied.

Although Zhao Feng's attitude towards Fusu was not very good, Fusu was also realistic and did not say anything bad.

"He is so young but has such abilities and military achievements. It would be strange if he was not arrogant." Ying Zheng smiled faintly.

arrogant.

This thing can be possessed by capable people, but if you don’t have the ability and are still arrogant, then you are incompetent.

"Father is right."

"From your perspective, General Zhao is extremely brave and a capable minister of the country. I believe he will make new contributions to the Qin Dynasty in the future." Fusu said with a smile.

"Mr. Han, you have met Zhao Feng before. Are you going there to have a chat this time?" Ying Zheng looked at Han Fei again.

"The reason why I asked to go this time was indeed to reminisce about the past, but this time I also completed the task assigned by the king, which was to ask General Zhao what he wanted, and General Zhao did speak."

"But I don't know whether the king is willing to grant it." Han Fei smiled.

"Would I be willing to grant it to you?" Ying Zheng became interested: "What did he ask for?"

"Blood ginseng." Han Fei said with a smile.

Upon hearing this.

Ying Zheng was also quite surprised: "He dares to speak up. This is a treasure of our Great Qin. There used to be two blood ginsengs. When the tripod of King Wu of Qin was smashed, it was with one of them that he survived, allowing King Zhaoxiang to return to the country and succeed to the throne. Now there is only one left."

"General Zhao is indeed brave enough to speak up." Han Fei agreed with a smile.

"What does he want the blood ginseng for?" Ying Zheng asked.

"General Zhao said that his mother was too exhausted after giving birth to them and was weak, so he wanted to use blood ginseng to nourish her body," Han Fei said.

Ying Zheng nodded: "He is a filial son."

"He has a heart."

"I will do my best to help him."

"Zhao Gao."

Ying Zheng said loudly.

"I'm here." Zhao Gao responded immediately.

"Pass on my imperial edict, take the blood ginseng from the treasury, send the royal guards to escort it to Shaqiu, and give it to Zhao Feng's mother." Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.

"Father."

"This is a priceless blood ginseng. Do you really want to give it to me?" Fusu said in surprise.

Originally, when Zhao Feng made this request, Fusu thought that Ying Zheng would not grant it. After all, this blood ginseng is a life-saving elixir at a critical moment and it is a treasure of the royal family. Countless ministers throughout the dynasties have asked for it, but none of them were granted.

"Blood ginseng is a dead thing."

"And Zhao Feng is of infinite value to Daqin."

"Let him be filial and loyal." Ying Zheng said slowly.

"Your Majesty is wise." Han Fei also said with admiration.

now.

Han Fei also understood the kingly spirit of Ying Zheng.

Han Fei had heard of this blood ginseng when he was in Han in the past. It was truly priceless. Even kings of other countries had sought it, but were rejected by the Qin State. But at this moment, Ying Zheng, the King of Qin, was willing to give such a treasure to a minister.

"The courage of the King of Qin is unmatched by any other king in the world."

"The king holds the power, controls his ministers, controls his capable generals, and has millions of soldiers to command."

"In this case, how can the world not be united in Qin?"

"I finally understand it."

Han Fei suddenly sighed in his heart.

"Go ahead."

Ying Zheng waved his hand at Zhao Gao.

"I obey the order." Zhao Gao immediately retreated.

"Except for the matter of Zhao Feng."

"I think the king has received the news. Jinyang has been conquered."

"My great Qin warriors can continue to advance eastwards. No matter how unwilling the King of Zhao is, he must withdraw his troops from the State of Yan this time." Han Fei said with a smile again.

"Fusu."

"If Zhao withdraws its troops from Yan this time, do you think Yan will send troops to pursue?" Ying Zheng looked at Fusu with a testing look.

Hearing this question.

Fusu also became serious, knowing that it was his father who was testing him.

After a moment of silence and thought.

"Years ago, Yan sent troops to our Great Qin to seek support. Our Great Qin sent troops to rescue Yan, and we have formed an alliance."

"If Zhao withdraws its troops from Yan, Yan will never miss the opportunity for revenge and will certainly pursue and inflict heavy damage on the Zhao army." Fusu replied loudly.

Hear this answer.

Ying Zheng shook his head in disappointment.

"Father, is what I said wrong?" Fusu was stunned and asked in confusion.

"You are not wrong, sir. You are just oversimplifying the relationship of the alliance," Han Fei said at this time.

"The reason why our Great Qin sent troops this time is to save Yan. If it weren't for the Great Qin's military action, Yan would have been destroyed by Zhao. Doesn't this count as an alliance in front of Yan?" Fusu still had his own ideas.

"You are too naive, sir."

"There is no such thing as an unbreakable alliance between nations."

"Before my Great Qin came to the aid of Yan, Your Majesty also signed an alliance with the King of Zhao."

"The so-called covenant is also based on the interests of the country. If there is no conflict of interest, the covenant can be concluded. If there is a conflict of interest, the covenant is just a piece of waste cloth." Han Fei smiled faintly.

Han Fei now understood Fusu's vision.

"The eldest son Fusu has been too influenced by Confucianism, and even his own vision has been affected. Although he has a kind and benevolent character, he is ultimately not a person who can be a king."

"If it is a country without internal or external troubles, he may be able to be a benevolent and stable monarch. But it is simply not enough to be a monarch who expands territory or even quells civil strife." Han Fei thought to himself.

Just from Fusu's answer, Han Fei understood Fusu's ability.

"Does the State of Yan want to tear up the alliance with our Great Qin?" Fusu frowned.

"It's not like it was torn up."

"At most, they would allow the Zhao army to withdraw from Yan State. They would not hinder them, let alone pursue them."

"After all, to the State of Yan, our Great Qin is a bigger presence than the State of Zhao is to the State of Yan."

"If the Qin State really destroys the Zhao State, the Yan State will be in unrest every day," Han Fei said.

Fusu nodded seriously, his whole face showing thought.

After a long time.

Fusu said: "Thank you for your advice, Nei Shi."

"Han Qing." Ying Zheng suddenly spoke.

"I'm here." Han Fei replied.

"I wonder what you think of Fusu's talent?" Ying Zheng asked.

"this……"

Han Fei glanced at Fusu, then said, "Your Excellency has good talent, but what you have learned is already fixed, which is different from what I have learned."

As soon as Ying Zheng asked, Han Fei, a smart man, naturally understood the meaning immediately. It was obvious that Ying Zheng wanted Han Fei to teach Fusu, but Han Fei was such a smart man that he immediately refused politely.

If he agreed to teach Fusu, he would be involved in the vortex of the struggle for the throne. Han Fei was not that stupid.

The reason why he is still alive and serves the Qin State is because of what Zhao Feng said. Doesn't he want to see what a unified China would look like?

See here.

Ying Zheng glanced at Han Fei and did not force him: "If so, it would be a pity."

"Young Master, with the guidance of Grand Tutor Chunyu Yue, I'm sure you will achieve great success in your studies." Han Fei immediately said with a smile.

…

Xianyang, Wangfu! Several months have passed since Wang Yan gave birth.

At this moment she had gotten out of bed and was still sitting in the yard.

There was a small bed next to her, with her son and daughter lying in it.

"Dabao, Erbao."

"You've been here for two months."

"In a few months you will be able to walk, and your father may come back by then."

Wang Yan was teasing her two children, with a look of maternal care on her face.

Since giving birth to a pair of children, Wang Yan has become a mother, and is no longer the same as before.

"Yan'er."

"I have found all the guards you want."

"Now can you tell me what you are going to do?" Wang walked slowly towards Wang Yan and said.

"mother."

"I'm going to Zhao Feng's hometown to meet his mother and sister." Wang Yan replied gently.

"Then mother will go with you." Wang thought for a moment and said.

"mother."

"Li'er is still at home, you should stay at home with him."

"Although Shaqiu County is not close, we have guards escorting us, and the laws of my Great Qin are strict, so this is not difficult." Wang Yan replied with a smile.

"Then when do you plan to come back?" Wang asked again.

"It depends."

"Zhao Feng hasn't been home for a long time, so I just happened to bring Dabao and Erbao to accompany his mother." Wang Yan turned her head and looked at her two children tenderly.

"Okay, okay."

"Then be careful on your way, and send someone to deliver the letter immediately after you arrive."

Wang could only nod helplessly.

"Don't worry, Mom." Wang Yan smiled obediently.

Then he lowered his head, looked at his two children and smiled, "Soon you will meet your grandmother and aunt."

Time flies! Sand Dune County, Sand Village!

For this small village, nothing happening outside seems to affect the peace of the village.

But compared to the past, Sha Village is much more prosperous now.

Many places throughout the Qin Dynasty knew the name of Zhao Feng, the name of the youngest general of the Qin Dynasty.

What’s more, Zhao Feng was born in Shaqiu County.

To the entire Dune, Zhao Feng is a celebrity.

This also attracted many outsiders to settle in Sand Hill County, especially Sand Village, which attracted many women from other places to marry there.

From ancient times to the present, there has been a saying that if one person succeeds, the whole family will benefit.

For a small place like Sha Village to have a chief general, the status of the village naturally rose.

Many people even thought that if they could get some rewards from the great man Zhao Feng, it would be enough for them to enjoy endlessly for the rest of their lives.

"Look."

"I'm right, right?"

"The county governor has come to our Sand Village again."

"This is my fifth time to come to our village. Looking at the entire dune field and the entire Daqin, which village can receive this honor? It's only our Sha Village."

"Hahaha, yeah."

"We have a great man in Sha Village. The boy from the Zhao family is now a commander-in-chief, the youngest commander-in-chief in the Qin Dynasty. He is a real high-ranking official."

"How much greater is the chief general than the hundred generals?"

"You don't even know this. A hundred generals are in charge of a hundred people, and a commander is in charge of a hundred thousand people."

"The Zhao family kid is so powerful?"

"nonsense."

"Now our entire Sha Village has benefited from the Zhao family's kindness. Every household has been allocated fertile land by the Zhao family for cultivation, and the rent is only half of what it would be outside."

“That’s great.”

"Our rent is too high, and General Zhao is too kind to your fellow villagers."

As a horse-drawn carriage escorted by a hundred county soldiers entered the village, the villagers and outsiders who had arrived could not help but start talking about it.

As villagers of the village, they were naturally proud of Zhao Feng's success and showed it off to others.

And outsiders are naturally very envious.

A general emerged from Sha Village, and not only did he gain fame among many outsiders, he also gained real benefits.

The land brought by the title benefited all the villagers. Of course, the rent had to be collected, but it was much cheaper than outside.

Zhao Mansion!

"Mrs. Zhao."

"I'm here to deliver good news again."

Yan Bing walked into the mansion with familiarity and shouted loudly.

"Mr. County Magistrate."

Zhao's mother and daughter came out and looked at Yan Bing with smiles on their faces.

After meeting each other several times, we naturally became familiar with each other.

"This is great news." Yan Bing said with a smile.

"County Magistrate Yan, please stop keeping us in suspense. What's the good news?" Zhao was no longer as reserved as before and looked much more familiar.

"Someone, bring it up." Yan Bing said loudly.

Response.

A county soldier came up to Zhao holding a brocade box.

"What is this?" Zhao looked at it in confusion.

"Mrs. Zhao, have you heard of blood ginseng?" Yan Bing smiled.

"Blood ginseng?"

Zhao's expression changed slightly, and suddenly her eyes widened: "Could it be some blood ginseng?"

"It seems that Madam Zhao knows the origin of the blood ginseng?" Yan Bing smiled.

"I come from a medical family, so how could I not know about blood ginseng?"

"This is the elixir of the living dead."

"Could there be blood ginseng in here?" Zhao asked in surprise.

Yan Bing did not hesitate and opened the brocade box directly. What came into view was a blood-red ginseng with full roots. There was a strong smell of ginseng the moment it was opened.

"This is the most precious treasure of the palace. How did it get here?" Zhao Feng was even more surprised.

"Mrs. Zhao gave birth to a good son."

"Although General Zhao is away at the battlefield, he still misses his wife."

"General Zhao said that when his wife gave birth to him and his daughter, her body was weak and her vitality was greatly damaged, so he specifically asked the king to give her this blood ginseng to nourish her."

"The value of blood ginseng needs no further explanation."

"In the past, many people wanted to obtain blood ginseng but were rejected. But now, General Zhao asked for it and the current king actually granted it to him."

"It shows how much the king values ​​General Zhao." Yan Bing said with a smile.

"This is indeed a priceless treasure."

Zhao looked at the blood ginseng in front of him, and a wave of emotion emerged in his eyes.

She recognized it at a glance. It was the one inside the Qin Palace.

Because she had seen it before.

And it was his brother Zheng who brought it to him.

"Dong'er."

"Have you seen this big ginseng? It is the treasure of the royal palace. Legend has it that it can cure all diseases and even bring the dead back to life." The young Ying Zheng said in a boastful tone while holding the blood ginseng.

"Treasures are treasures, but what's the use of them?" Xia Dong'er asked puzzledly.

"When Dong'er gives birth to a big fat boy for me, she will definitely be very weak. Then I will give it to Dong'er to eat, and I will definitely be able to keep Dong'er in good health." Ying Zheng said jokingly.

Hearing this.

Xia Dong'er's pretty face turned red with embarrassment, and she turned and ran away.

"Why, Dong'er, don't you want to have a baby with me?" Ying Zheng smiled and immediately chased after her.

Thoughts turn back.

"I didn't expect that after all these twists and turns, this blood ginseng finally ended up in my hands."

"Is this fate?"

Looking at the blood ginseng in front of her, Zhao's heart was in turmoil. To her, it seemed that she had never expected to see this blood ginseng again, and at a place thousands of miles away from Xianyang.

"Anyway, congratulations to Mrs. Zhao." Yan Bing said with a smile.

"Thank you, Lord County Magistrate, for coming to see me off in person again."

Although she was familiar with him, Zhao still thanked him.

"Mrs. Zhao, that's very polite."

"It's my humble honor." Yan Bing smiled.

At this time!

"Mr. County Magistrate."

"There's a convoy coming outside."

"It seems that he is here to look for Madam Zhao."

"And judging from the guards, they all have a military aura, not ordinary merchants."

Hundreds of county soldiers walked quickly in front of Yan Bing.

"The convoy?"

Yan Bing looked puzzled.

"Mrs. Zhao."

"I wonder if General Zhao has any acquaintances outside?" Yan Bing asked.

"I knew it before, but since Feng'er joined the army, I don't know who he associated with." Zhao shook her head.

"lady."

"There is someone outside the palace who wants to see you. He claims to be from the Prince of Xianyang's Palace."

"She is the madam's daughter-in-law."

The Zhao family's housekeeper walked over quickly.

"From the Xianyang Palace?"

"Could it be that what the county governor said is true?"

Zhao Ying looked at Yan Bing with some surprise.

And at this moment.

Zhao naturally understood: "Could it be that Feng'er is really in love with Wang Jian's daughter?"

"Go out and take a look." Zhao said immediately.

Now that Zhao Feng is not at home, Zhao is naturally responsible for the operation of the entire mansion.

Seeing this, Yan Bing, who was standing by, immediately followed.

Outside the palace.

Wang Yan was wearing a black and red dress, with her hair tied up in a bun, looking like a married woman.

Although she had given birth to a pair of children for Zhao Feng, today was her first time to come to the Zhao family and meet her mother-in-law, so Wang Yan seemed a little nervous.

There was a sound of footsteps coming from inside the mansion.

Zhao walked out slowly and saw Wang Yan outside at a glance.

“So beautiful.”

"Is this my sister-in-law?"

Zhao Ying also looked over, and when she saw Wang Yan's appearance, she, as a woman herself, couldn't help but be shocked.

Because my sister-in-law grew up to be so beautiful, and she has the temperament of a lady from a noble family.

But Zhao did not confirm it immediately, because she had only heard from Yan Bing about the relationship between Zhao Feng and the daughter of the Wang family, and it was not confirmed.

And the moment when the mother and daughter saw Wang Yan.

Wang Yan naturally saw them as well.

"This should be Zhao Feng's mother."

"His mother doesn't look like an ordinary woman at all. Her temperament seems to be stronger than many wives of big families in Xianyang."

"This is clearly a lady from a wealthy family."

"This should be Zhao Feng's sister."

"This temperament doesn't look like a village woman at all, does it?"
