Chapter 143 Ying Zheng’s promise!
"You're right."
"If they dare to snatch meat from Daqin's mouth, we will make them spit it out in the same way they snatched it."
"Yan State."
"Too bold and presumptuous." Ying Zheng's voice became overbearing and cold.
Obviously.
Yan State’s actions had already made him really angry.
This is like countless Qin warriors paid the price of their lives to capture the capital of Zhao, but the State of Yan actually came to snatch the fruits of Qin's victory and take the meat from its mouth.
Not to mention Ying Zheng, no Qin warrior could tolerate it.
"I will ask the general for permission to fight against the Yan army." Zhao Feng asked immediately.
"The General will grant it."
"However, there is no rush to deal with Yan State. For the time being, we should capture the cities in Zhao Land first."
"The general will arrange it." Ying Zheng smiled slightly.
"Your Majesty."
Zhao Feng looked at Ying Zheng with a hint of tentativeness.
"If you have something to say, just say it."
"Why are you being so shy?" Ying Zheng smiled faintly.
"After defeating Zhao, I want to return home to rest and marry my wife." Zhao Feng said immediately.
After destroying Zhao.
There must be a lot of things to do in Zhao, but when he thought of his mother, Wang Yan, and his two children, Zhao Feng was eager to return home.
If he could get Ying Zheng's promise now, he could return after destroying Zhao.
Looking at Zhao Feng who looked expectant and nervous, Ying Zheng smiled slightly: "It's rare to see you so nervous, it seems that you really can't wait to go home."
"I have not been back for more than three years."
"Originally, I planned to serve for two years and then return home, but I didn't expect that plans could not keep up with the changes." Zhao Feng said with a smile.
Hearing this.
Ying Zheng smiled and said, "It seems that it was all thanks to Bao Yuan. If it weren't for him, I would have missed out on an unrivaled general of our Great Qin."
"I should also thank him. If it weren't for Bao Yuan, I might have retired from the army." Zhao Feng also smiled.
When he was in the logistics army, Zhao Feng's attitude towards the future was to return home as soon as possible, but after entering the main combat camp, Zhao Feng's mentality changed accordingly.
It is difficult for the logistics army to make a breakthrough.
Zhao Feng had never thought of reaching the pinnacle of power.
But once you enter the main combat camp, everything is naturally different.
Since there was an opportunity, Zhao Feng should fight for it. It was because of this change in his mindset that Zhao Feng was able to reach where he is today, promoted to the rank of commander-in-chief and granted the twelfth rank of nobility.
Looking at the Qin Dynasty, and even the entire world, they are the top group and have the most potential.
Ying Zheng and the other man looked at each other and smiled.
Then.
Ying Zheng added: "After the destruction of Zhao, I will allow you to return home to get married and take a rest."
"But before leaving Zhao, you must come to Xianyang first."
"Gu, I have a surprise for you."
Seeing Ying Zheng so serious yet with an expectant tone, Zhao Feng was also shocked: "Why does the King of Qin seem to want me to take another step forward? He won't promote me to the rank of general, will he?"
Although Ying Zheng did not say it explicitly.
But the word "surprise" really made Zhao Feng think about it.
Now he has become the commanding general, and the only surprise for Zhao Feng is the next step up to the rank of Captain of the Guard.
only.
Although Zhao Feng wanted to go further, his qualifications were indeed insufficient compared to many main generals in the army. His current military exploits were just to accumulate qualifications and prepare for further advancement.
"I obey your order." Zhao Feng responded immediately.
Since there was this opportunity, Zhao Feng would naturally accept it immediately. If he didn’t, he would be out of his mind.
"I will set out for Xianyang tomorrow."
"When you return to Xianyang one day, I will drink with you." Ying Zheng smiled slightly.
"It's only been a few days? Your Majesty is leaving now?" Zhao Feng was slightly surprised.
"In the end."
"I also want to visit my old place again, with a desire for revenge."
"Now that the revenge has been taken and Handan has been conquered, there is no point for me to stay here."
"Besides, I haven't found the person I'm looking for." Although Ying Zheng said that revenge had been achieved, the disappointment in his eyes was very clear when he said the last sentence.
Hearing this!
Zhao Feng immediately said, "Who is the king looking for? I can send someone to search for him."
"You can't find it in such a huge crowd." Ying Zheng shook his head and didn't want to say anything more on this topic.
"The reason I called you here is to let you rest for a while. After all, I heard that you were in the wounded camp for a whole day and a night yesterday."
"You are a general, and the youngest and most capable general in the Qin Empire. You must not overwork yourself."
"If you are injured, even a hundred thousand troops will not be able to defeat you."
"Okay, go back and rest." Ying Zheng smiled slightly and said to Zhao Feng.
You can see.
His attitude towards Zhao Feng was very good.
See here.
Zhao Feng didn't ask any more questions.
He bowed to Ying Zheng and said, "I will take my leave."
immediately.
Zhao Feng turned and walked to the other side, while Ying Zheng still sat on the ground. The breeze blew by, and Ying Zheng seemed to be particularly enjoying this extraordinary tranquility.
After Zhao Feng took a few steps.
"Zhao Feng." Ying Zheng suddenly said.
Zhao Feng turned around suddenly and asked immediately, "What's the matter, Your Majesty?"
But it was this turn, that stunning glance back.
This immediately shocked Ying Zheng's heart: "This look... looks like Dong'er."
Ying Zheng stared at Zhao Feng, a look of shock flashing across his face.
"What else does the king have to arrange?"
Looking at Ying Zheng who suddenly stopped talking, Zhao Feng immediately asked.
Hear the sound.
Ying Zheng came back to his senses and said, "Nothing, you can go back, and let the general and the others go back as well."
"I am alone here in silence."
This moment.
Ying Zheng didn't know why he suddenly called Zhao Feng just now. He smiled and waved at Zhao Feng.
"I'll take my leave." Zhao Feng didn't say much. With a strange feeling in his heart, he turned around and left.
Wait until Zhao Feng leaves.
"well."
"Dong'er, I still miss you too much."
After a long time.
Ying Zheng sighed. He was a little surprised by the look in the eyes that was almost the same as the one from the person he was concerned about. ——Back to the grave! "Zhao Feng is back."
Wang Ben saw Zhao Feng at a glance.
"What is the important matter that the king wants you to go alone for?" Wang Jian asked immediately.
In his opinion, Ying Zheng must have some important instructions for Zhao Feng.
"He just talked to me, but didn't tell me anything."
"I tried my sword by the way." Zhao Feng replied with a smile.
"Brother-in-law, it is an honor to be able to spend so much time alone with the king."
"I'm so envious of you, big brother." Wang Ben said with a bit of jealousy.
"Are you envious of this, brother?" Zhao Feng smiled jokingly.
"Your elder brother is a loser, ignore him." Wang Jian laughed, then asked, "Does the king have anything else to say?"
"The king wants to be alone in the mountains, so let's go back first." Zhao Feng said.
"Yes." Wang Jian nodded.
"Zhao boy."
"You have to make more military achievements during this period of time." Wang Jian suddenly said to Zhao Feng meaningfully.
"father."
"Isn't my brother-in-law's military exploits enough?"
"They conquered Wu'an City, and then conquered Handan, beheaded Pang Nuan, and captured the King of Zhao."
"Who in the entire Lantian camp can compare to my brother-in-law?" Wang Ben said jealously, with indescribable envy in his eyes.
"Your brother-in-law's military achievements were earned through his own abilities."
“When we attacked Handan before, you and Yang Duanhe were both scared. If it weren’t for your brother-in-law who stepped forward, I’m afraid Handan City might not have been breached by now.” Wang Jian scolded angrily, making Wang Ben lower his head and dare not speak.
"When the king first came to Handan, he revealed some information to me."
"The king intends to let you take another step forward." Wang Jian said seriously.
Wang Ben's face changed and his eyes widened: "My brother-in-law is already a commander, and his rank is also level 12, one level higher than mine. If my brother-in-law goes one step further, won't he be a captain of the guard army?"
Even Wang Ben was shocked after hearing this.
This is really hard to imagine.
A nineteen-year-old captain of the imperial guard?
No.
By the time Zhao was truly destroyed, Zhao Feng was only twenty years old.
A twenty-year-old captain of the imperial guard?
Who in the world can do this? This is not a civil official, but a military general who has risen to the top through military exploits. It is more difficult for him to get there than a civil official.
"Anyway."
"It's a good thing that the king thinks so highly of you."
"You must not betray the king's trust in you."
“Now that Zhao State has not been destroyed yet, what you need to do is to gain more military merits to consolidate this position. In this way, if the king really wants to promote you one day, the opposition in the court will not be so loud.” Wang Jian said in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, father-in-law."
"I understand." Zhao Feng also nodded.
What I heard from Ying Zheng before was just an ambiguous statement, but now after hearing what Wang Jian said, it is nine out of ten times true.
Just wait to destroy Zhao and return to Qin.
Zhao Feng will have a great chance to become the commander of the guard, which is the position of general.
A general in charge of a large camp.
This is a position that allows one to be on par with Wang Jian.
"If my brother-in-law really becomes a general, then my Wang family's status in the Qin court will be even higher." Wang Ben also became serious.
"The higher your position, the more you will be feared and targeted."
"If you take one step there, there will be no return." Wang Jian said seriously.
Although he holds a high position, he is extremely cautious.
"Father-in-law, don't worry about it."
"The king is above you, and he is a man of great talent and vision. He will not be manipulated so easily by villains."
"As for the future, let's take it one step at a time. There's no need to be so vigilant." Zhao Feng smiled faintly.
Now he is a collaborator of the Qin Dynasty, relying on the national fortune of the Qin Dynasty to become stronger. As for the future successor of Qin Shihuang, Zhao Feng has nothing to worry about.
Let him suppress him if he wants to. Anyway, Zhao Feng will go to the southern border in the future. If he doesn't suppress him, he can just wait step by step for the end of Qin Dynasty to come.
all in all.
Sit and watch the wind and clouds rise, and immortality condenses the world.
Return to Handan City! After coming back.
Zhao Feng still rushed into the wounded soldiers’ camp.
Zhao Feng naturally did not want to miss this opportunity to gain merit and save his brothers.
Time flies.
Ten days passed.
In Handan city.
It has been completely controlled by the Qin army.
The order affected by the war is gradually being restored.
In the wounded camp.
The wailing sounds that had occurred at the beginning had subsided. Although there were still many soldiers in the wounded camp screaming in pain due to the dressing changes, the situation had improved many times compared to ten days ago.
"We have rescued everyone who could be saved."
"There are nearly 30,000 people entering the wounded camp this time."
"Minor injuries are treated by servants changing the dressings, while serious injuries are transferred to the wounded camp. The survival rate is more than 70%."
"It's already very good." Master Chen said with a smile.
"Has the disabled list been compiled?" Zhao Feng asked Master Chen.
"The list has been submitted to the Central Army Commander." Master Chen nodded.
The army has its own rules.
The disabled soldiers will be discharged from the army. In order to allow those with ulterior motives to be discharged, they must be recognized by the military doctor of the wounded soldiers' camp.
Only in this way can you retire due to disability.
at the same time.
Disabled veterans with titles have two options: one is to receive a larger annual pension, and the other is to be arranged with a small job in their hometown.
This rule was also changed after the current King of Qin, Ying Zheng, took power, and bestowed blessings on the meritorious warriors of the Qin Dynasty.
"How does it feel to see that all the seriously injured soldiers in the wounded battalion are being treated?"
At this time.
Xia Wuqie walked over slowly, looked at Zhao Feng and asked with a smile.
"It is more satisfying to save a life than to kill one."
"The feeling of holding one's life in one's own hands can comfort the soul." Zhao Feng replied with a smile.
Xia Wuqie nodded in agreement: "This is the true heart of a doctor."
"But doctors can only save a few people. If the world were united, millions of people could be saved."
"This is the real way to save the world and all the people in the world."
Zhao Feng smiled and said, "Brother Chen, did you hear that? This is the realm of a great doctor. You must study hard."
"nonsense."
"Of course I kept my teacher's words in mind."
"And I have good news for you."
"After we succeed in defeating Zhao this time, I will be promoted to a great doctor." Master Chen said to Zhao Feng with a look of boasting on his face.
A great doctor of a country.
This is truly the pinnacle of physicians. Throughout the entire Qin Dynasty, there is only one person who truly has the title of a great physician, and that is Xia Wuqie.
Being able to be ranked as a great doctor, although he has no power, his status is no less than that of the Nine Ministers.
"After being promoted to great doctor, it seems that Brother Chen will be transferred to Xianyang soon." Zhao Feng smiled slightly.
"Hahaha."
"rest assured."
"Even if I go to Xianyang, I will definitely go there for your wedding, Brother Zhao." Master Chen said with a big laugh.
"General Zhao is not married yet?" Xia Wuqie asked, becoming interested.
"teacher."
"Brother Zhao enlisted in the army at the age of sixteen. It has been almost four years now. How can he have the chance to get married?"
"but."
"Brother Zhao has an enviable marriage."
"General Wang Jian's daughter is engaged to General Zhao, and it is said that she has given birth to a pair of children for Brother Zhao." Master Chen said with a wink.
“It’s so.”
"Then General Zhao, can I ask you for a glass of wedding wine?" Xia Wuqie asked with a smile.
"Is Doctor Xia serious?" Zhao Feng asked with a slight smile.
"What? General Zhao doesn't welcome you?" Xia Wuqie said with a smile.
"How can that be possible!"
"If Dr. Xia can come, it will be a great honor for our Zhao family."
"It's just that my hometown is far away from Xianyang, in Shaqiu County."
"The journey will be very long by then." Zhao Feng said with a smile.
"General Zhao and I hit it off right away. Now that I have the opportunity to witness General Zhao's wedding, I will naturally not miss it."
"Please inform me when General Zhao gets married in the future." Xia Wuqie said very seriously.
See here.
Zhao Feng nodded: "Sure."
"My Lord."
"General, pass the message." Zhang Ming came quickly.
"You two should leave first."
"After resting for such a long time, it's time to mobilize the troops again." Zhao Feng said to Xia Wuqie and the other man, clasping his fists.
"Brother Zhao, go get busy."
"The Injured Battalion has now passed the most difficult time, and things will be easy from now on." Master Chen replied immediately.
immediately.
Zhao Feng stepped back and left.
Handan City, the former meeting hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Wang Jian took the main seat.
All the generals from the three main camps gathered together.
Dozens of generals gathered in the hall.
"Handan City has been completely controlled."
“The main camps have also completed reorganization.”
"Ten days may not be a long time, but it has delayed us for quite a while."
"Although King Zhao Yan of Zhao has been captured by our Great Qin and returned to Xianyang with the King, the royal family and officials of Zhao have not been captured, and many have escaped."
"In particular, Zhao Yi, the former crown prince of Zhao and the head of the Zhao royal family, has now fled to Dai and has been supported by the generals of Dai to become king. He calls himself the King of Dai and now has gathered troops to defend Dai. There are also Zhao border cavalry guarding the only way to connect with Zhao."
"Besides that."
"Yan State also gathered an army of 100,000 and invaded Zhao State. In these ten days, they have captured several cities in Zhao." Wang Jian said with a serious face.
Hearing this!
All the generals clasped their fists and faced Wang Jian: "We are willing to fight."
Wang Jian raised his hand.
All the generals looked on without saying anything.
"Handan has been captured and the King of Zhao has been captured."
"The Zhao army guarding various places in Zhao territory has lost all its morale. Before we completely capture Zhao territory, we will not encounter much resistance from the Zhao army. They will either surrender directly to our Great Qin or flee to Daidi."
"For those who flee to Daidi, there is no need to stop them, let them go."
"The more people gather, the more chaotic the land will be, and the greater the blow to their morale will be."
"Our army will capture all the cities in the east of Zhao as quickly as possible, and then we will attack Dai."
"We still have 230,000 troops capable of fighting."
"We should divide the troops into three routes, and have the three main camps attack each route. As for how to dispatch the main camps, the three generals can make their own arrangements." Wang Jian said to Zhao Feng and the other two.
"I obey your command." The generals replied in unison.
all in all.
The key to Wang Jian's command was to capture Zhao territory as quickly as possible.
As for Daidi.
Now they have become frightened birds and dare not attack.
Now Zhao Yi and those Zhao ministers who escaped should be thinking of holding on to Dai and living in peace in a corner.
Counterattack?
They dare not.
This is what Wang Jian expected. ——Time passes! Zhao State.
A small town.
"Hahaha."
"Zhao Yan, Zhao State."
"You wanted to destroy Great Yan, but now you have been captured by Great Yan over a dozen cities. I, the prince, have expanded the territory for Great Yan." Yan Dan said with a smile.
Seeing Yan Dan so happy, the generals around him could not be happy at all.
"Prince."
"We have already captured more than a dozen cities. We can't enter any more."
"We should be encountering the Qin army ahead." Le Cheng said with a worried look on his face.
"Qin army, do they really dare to fight our army?"
"If we really encounter them, our army can stop, but the cities our army is attacking belong to our Great Yan and have nothing to do with the Qin State." Yan Dan said very proudly.
Looking at the arrogant and inflated Yan Dan, Le Cheng felt helpless.
Perhaps it was Yan Dan's arrogant character that made him come up with the plan to assassinate Qin.
Finally, Qin found an excuse and he had a legitimate reason!
"But if the Qin army attacks, what should we do?"
"With our army's combat power, there is no way we can be a match for the Qin army." Le Cheng said with great concern.
He was well aware of the combat effectiveness of his army. They could not even defeat the Zhao army, let alone the Qin army that defeated the Zhao army.
"They dare not." Yan Dan still said confidently.
Just at this moment!
Dozens of Yan cavalrymen outside the city fled back in terror. Looking at their miserable appearance, it seemed that they had encountered some major accident. They had lost their weapons and armor, and they could only return on their horses.
"Prince, something is wrong."
Le Cheng's face changed and he said hurriedly.
Yan Dan's face darkened as well, and he waved his hand: "Open the city gate quickly."
The city gates opened.
Dozens of Yan soldiers ran in in panic.
"What's going on?"
"Where are your weapons and armor?" Yan Dan asked coldly, looking at the soldier kneeling in front of him.
"Your Highness."
"Qin Jun, Qin Jun is coming."
"They captured us and asked us to hand over our armor and weapons."
"And... he also asked his subordinates to bring back a letter."
The leading centurion, with a terrified look on his face, held up a bamboo slip.
Yan Dan took it with an indifferent look on his face.
Open it and take a look.
"If you don't want to fight, immediately withdraw from all Zhao cities."
"Half an hour later, our Great Qin will attack. We will show no mercy to our enemies and kill them all."
Signed: "Great Qin's chief general, Zhao Feng."
See this.
Yan Dan's face turned pale.
"Qin general Zhao Feng, how dare he threaten this prince like this?" Yan Dan said coldly.
"Prince, who were you just talking about?" Le Cheng's face changed.
"Qin general Zhao Feng." Yan Dan said coldly.
"It turned out that he was here?"
"Prince."
"I suggest that we withdraw our troops quickly and not engage in battle with the Qin army, otherwise our army will be in danger."
"Zhao Feng."
"Bao Yuan, Lian Po, and Pang Nuan all died at his hands."
"Wei Wuji was defeated by Zhao Feng despite having an absolute advantage."
"This general is regarded as the most promising general in Qin State, and is even more brave and skilled in fighting than Bai Qi in the past."
"Handan was conquered by him." Le Cheng said solemnly.
Looking at Le Cheng like this.
Yan Dan frowned and said, "General, although you have been defeated and surrendered before, you must not lower the morale of our army like this."
"The Yan State and the Qin State can barely be considered allies."
"If his Qin army goes to war with our army, it will offend our Great Yan. This prince does not believe that Ying Zheng is so stupid."
Hearing this.
Le Cheng was angry and helpless: "Prince, our army invaded Zhao State and took meat from Qin State. We have already offended Qin State. Who is Ying Zheng? Will he tolerate it?"
"That's enough."
Yan Dan shouted coldly.
Then he waved his hand and said: "These cities of Zhao State already belong to Great Yan. This prince will never give up the cities."
"Again."
"Zhao attacked my Great Yan, and my Great Yan had a legitimate reason to take revenge."
