Chapter 147 Great victory of the Qin Dynasty, the old Qin people are excited and thrilled!
Attack and destroy Zhao with one shout!
The 200,000 Qin warriors lined up in front of Dai City moved, like giant killing beasts awakening.
Countless arrows and countless stones formed a murderous intent to destroy everything and poured down towards Dai City!
When these murderous intentions fall.
The Zhao army in Daicheng suffered countless casualties.
Zhao soldiers were running away with their heads in their hands everywhere, and the cries of the wounded could be heard everywhere.
The Qin army attacked, and arrows rained down upon them! This was true even in the final battle to destroy Zhao.
Wang Jian would never lose his troops due to impatience.
After the Qin army had been bombarding with arrows and catapults for nearly half an hour.
"attack!"
Wang Jian shouted loudly.
The messengers scattered around the chariot.
"First Main Battle Battalion, kill!"
Yang Duanhe gave an order.
In this battle, the main camp led by Yang Duanhe was the vanguard. The army used various siege weapons to advance towards Daicheng in an orderly manner.
The previous merit of breaking the city was taken away by Zhao Feng, so now the final battle to destroy Zhao would naturally be given to others. This was also the reason why Yang Duanhe led the troops.
This battle! Naturally, there was no suspense! Even without Zhao Feng as the vanguard, under the fierce offensive of the Qin army commanded by Yang Duanhe, the tower was gradually captured.
However, compared to Zhao Feng as the vanguard, the casualties suffered by Yang Duan and his troops were naturally much greater.
One general's success is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers.
Yang Duanhe naturally wouldn't care, and neither would Wang Jian. There are always casualties in war.
As Yang Duanhe attacked the city.
"attack!"
Zhao Feng issued an order, and the army followed Yang Duan and his army into the city.
Time lasts.
A day passed.
The Qin army swept through the entire Dai city and headed straight for the Dai city palace.
"Soldiers of the Great Zhao."
"I am incompetent and cannot protect the country with you. This is my fault."
"Today I will die with you."
"kill!"
Inside the palace.
Looking at the Qin army coming towards him, Zhao Yi roared and charged towards them with his sword.
"Protect the Great Zhao."
"Great Zhao will never be destroyed..."
The thousands of Zhao soldiers remaining in the palace also followed Zhao Yi out.
"I wonder what the reward is for killing the king?"
"The king has the luck of a country, so he should be able to explode, right?"
Inside the palace.
Looking at Zhao Yi rushing down.
Although he came after Yang Duanhe, Zhao Feng led his army with unstoppable force and was the first to reach the palace.
When Zhao Feng saw Zhao Yi, dressed in royal robes and determined to die, he naturally became interested.
"All troops, listen to my orders."
"Those who do not surrender will be killed without mercy."
Zhao Feng let out a low shout.
He charged towards Zhao Yi with a clear goal.
"Zhao Feng."
When Zhao Yi saw Zhao Feng, murderous intent appeared in his eyes.
Although he had never met Zhao Feng face to face, his portrait had already been painted and circulated in the State of Zhao and even in other countries in the world.
Following the battles against Zhao.
Defeated Wu'an and conquered Handan.
After these battle results spread throughout the world, Zhao Feng's reputation became even more resounding throughout the world. All the countries in the world regarded Zhao Feng as the next Bai Qi and a powerful enemy.
As the new king of Zhao, how could Zhao Yi not recognize this Qin general who had conquered countless cities of Zhao and killed countless Zhao people? Zhao Feng did not speak, but shook his sword and motioned Zhao Yi to come over.
"For the sake of my people."
"Today I will die with you."
Zhao Yi roared and pounced towards Zhao Feng.
The sword in his hand also stabbed out.
In such a desperate situation, there was no fight for his life. Even a skilled general would be in danger. However, his speed was as slow as a turtle in Zhao Feng's eyes.
"king."
"I have never killed anyone."
"I'll use you to start the meal today." Zhao Feng sneered and stabbed Longquan.
Phew.
The sword tip pierced directly through Zhao Yi's chest, and his whole body froze instantly.
If the king was an orthodox one, Zhao Feng would naturally not kill him. However, Zhao Yi was not an orthodox king. He became king with the support of the Zhao generals in Dai. He did not even have the royal seal of Zhao.
At the beginning of the siege, Wang Jian did not order to spare Zhao Yi's life.
Zhao Feng naturally had no scruples either.
"Great Zhao...will never perish!"
At the last moment of his death, Zhao Yi let out an unwilling roar.
"Kill King Zhao Yi of Dai, gain 50 points in all attributes, gain 100 days of lifespan, and gain a second-level treasure chest."
"Congratulations to the host for breaking through 8,000 points in all attributes. You will be rewarded with a first-level treasure chest." A prompt appeared on the panel.
"Although he is a fake king, he also carries great fortune."
"It's the right thing to kill." Zhao Feng was delighted.
"It would be great if we could kill the King of Han and the King of Zhao."
"Maybe I can get something even richer." Zhao Feng thought secretly again.
but.
This is just a thought at the moment.
Now Han An and Zhao Yan are both imprisoned in Xianyang, and it is not easy to kill them.
"Your king is dead."
"Those who lay down their weapons and surrender will be spared death."
Zhao Feng lifted Zhao Yi's body with one hand and shouted in a stern voice.
Looking at Zhao Yi's body.
Those troops who were loyal to Zhao continued to fight until they died, while those who were afraid of death simply laid down their weapons and surrendered.
The overall situation has been decided! Outside the city!
"Your Highness, General."
"There's a war report from the city."
"General Zhao Feng has already breached the palace of Daicheng and personally killed the King of Dai, Zhao Yi."
"The city has been decided."
The commander of the personal guards came quickly to report.
"good."
Wang Jian frowned, revealing a strong sense of joy: "The State of Zhao is about to be completely destroyed."
"I congratulate the general on his achievement of destroying another country."
"Of the three generals of the Qin Dynasty, the above generals have the highest military achievements and have successively destroyed two countries."
"He will surely be honored as a general in the history books one day." The commander of the personal guards said excitedly.
"Next time we mobilize troops, my Lantian camp will not be the main attack." Wang Jian smiled faintly.
This time, Zhao will be destroyed! The Northern Frontier Camp provided support and held back the Zhao border troops.
The Hangu Camp served as support, but even though the Lantian Camp suffered heavy damage in this battle, the Hangu Camp was not used in the end.
Wait until the next war to destroy the country.
Naturally, Wang Jian would not volunteer to go to war again, as this would go against the code of conduct of a subject.
After all, he has already conquered two countries and his fame is already very great. If he were to fight again, there would certainly be great suspicion in the court.
"Pass on this general's order."
"Clear out all the Zhao troops in Daicheng."
"Those who refuse to surrender will be killed." Wang Jian said in a deep voice.
"Yes." The commander of the personal guards immediately went to pass the order.
Wait until he leaves.
Wang Jian showed a relieved smile on his face: "After killing Zhao Yi and conquering the palace of King Dai, Zhao Feng's further position should be completely settled this time."
"My son-in-law is going to be a general."
"The fourth general of the Qin Dynasty, and the youngest general in the world."
"Yan'er really has excellent vision. She found a tiger son-in-law."
At this moment, Wang Jian was naturally happy for Zhao Feng.
With this battle decided, and with Ying Zheng's previous promise, the generalship was decided.
Obviously.
At this moment, Wang Jian did not know that Ying Zheng had already announced the appointment of Zhao Feng in the court.
"Zhao Feng will be promoted to general, and he will return to Xianyang one day."
"But he has very little respect for the royal power. In the future, he will be in the court, not commanding troops outside. He should teach others more about the way of being a minister and the way of lying low."
"Otherwise I will be targeted in the court." Wang Jian thought secretly in his heart.
The Lantian camp continued to mobilize troops.
With the city of Dai being taken, within a month, the entire Dai territory will be conquered by Qin. On that day, Zhao will be completely gone! Time flies! Wei State, Daliang City!
"Your Majesty."
"The State of Zhao is destroyed."
"King Zhao Yi of Dai has been beheaded by the Qin army in the chaos, and the Zhao army in Dai has been completely wiped out." A general came to Wei Wuji and reported anxiously.
Hear the sound.
The carving knife and bamboo slips in Wei Wuji's hands fell to the ground, and a solemn look appeared on his old face.
"Finally I couldn't hold on any longer."
"Qin's momentum can no longer be stopped."
"Among the Three Jin states, only Wei remains." Wei Wuji sighed in his heart with an unspeakable sadness.
"Your Majesty."
"Once the State of Zhao is destroyed, the State of Qin will completely control the land of Zhao, and will attack the Great Wei one day."
"How should our great Wei deal with this?" asked the Wei general in a trembling voice.
"Being alone like this..."
Wei Wuji murmured, and at this moment he didn't know what to do.
"You should step down first."
Wei Wuji waved to the general in front of him.
"Yes." The general retreated respectfully.
"Alas." Wei Wuji sighed in his heart, and then took out a piece of cloth from under the table. There were only four characters of Wei written on it: "Restoration of the Nation!"
The news that Dai was conquered by Qin and Zhao Yi died spread like a flood to all parts of the world.
Naturally, this caused even greater unrest among the countries.
It was okay because they were far away, but the State of Wei was naturally on pins and needles.
Xianyang!
The messenger held the command flag and galloped towards the city gate on horseback.
The Beijing soldiers guarding the city gate immediately moved away the barricades and made way.
The messenger rushed into the city unhindered.
"My Qin army won a great victory in Zhao."
"The city of Dai was conquered by our Qin army, and the King of Dai, Zhao Yi, was beheaded by our commander, General Zhao Feng. Our army was unstoppable."
"Dai has been conquered by our Qin State, and Zhao State has been destroyed."
"A great victory... Zhao has been destroyed, and the territory has been taken over by our Great Qin."
"Great victory..."
The messenger held the command flag high and galloped towards the palace, shouting loudly.
"The State of Zhao was destroyed?"
"Is this true or not?"
"May God bless our Great Qin! The State of Zhao has perished!"
"Hahahaha, Han is gone, Zhao is gone, and the Three Jins have been destroyed by my Great Qin. Lottery, big luck."
"The seven kingdoms have been divided for hundreds of years. In less than three years, my Great Qin has successively destroyed two kingdoms. One day, my Great Qin will unify the world."
"My Great Qin warriors are the most powerful without a doubt."
"The great wish of our Qin people for generations is finally coming true. Only our Great Qin can unify the world."
"Handan was destroyed, and the State of Zhao was destroyed. General Wang committed suicide outside the city of Handan. Now he can rest in peace."
"My Great Qin has won."
"Walk."
"Today is a happy day for our Great Qin. Brothers, I invite you to have a drink at the restaurant."
"Haha, let's go together."
"It's a pity that there is no Jiuxianlou in Xianyang. The fine wine there is a real treasure. It would be great if there was fine wine from Jiuxianlou. This would be the real celebration."
"Where exactly is this Jiuxianlou located? I have heard many wine lovers talk about this Jiuxianlou, but I have never seen it in person."
"This is why you are so ignorant. Jiuxianlou is located in Yingchuan. I passed by Weishui when I was doing business before, and I happened to try it in Weicheng. It was packed with people."
"It's so delicious, I must go there someday."
"Come on, come on, stop talking, let's go celebrate the Qin Dynasty's annihilation of Zhao. As Qin men, we should celebrate the annihilation of a country."
"Yes, I also served the Qin Dynasty in the past. All the men of the Qin Dynasty should celebrate..."
…
now.
Countless people in the entire Xianyang city were extremely excited, especially the men. Such joy of expanding territory naturally made countless people excited.
This may be the ambition inherited from the bloodline of the old Qin people.
In the past, the Qin people opened up a corner of the northwest and became the strongest national force in the world. All of this was created by the Qin people. Unifying the world is not only the long-cherished wish of the Qin kings of all generations, but also the blood inheritance of all the Qin people.
In history, it was also because Hu Hai was incompetent.
As long as the king has a little bit of blood in his veins, even if the lands of the six kingdoms are lost, with the passion and bloodline of the old Qin people, they will help the king to carve out a new world.
But what about Hu Hai?
He was not only harsh on the six nations, but also on the old Qin people.
The old Qin people have lost their hearts.
Let’s get back to the topic.
The messenger galloped all the way.
Soon they rushed into the palace.
Relying on the command flag, he arrived outside the court hall unhindered.
"Your Majesty."
"A great victory for the State of Zhao."
"The city of Dai has been captured, and the land of Dai has been completely conquered by our Great Qin."
"The State of Zhao is dead."
"My Great Qin has destroyed the State of Zhao."
"Big victory!"
The messenger bowed and spoke loudly.
Hear the sound!
The whole court was shocked.
All the officials of the Qin Dynasty were shocked at first, and then each of them had an expression of ecstasy on their faces.
"We congratulate the king."
"Long live the king, long live the Qin Dynasty."
All the civil and military officials in the court bowed to Ying Zheng and shouted in unison.
Above the high position.
Ying Zheng's expression also revealed a sense of emotion.
He stood up slowly, a look of joy on his face, but still dignified and solemn.
Under the congratulations of all the ministers.
Ying Zheng spread his hands, with unparalleled dominance: "The destiny is with Qin!"
"The destiny lies with Qin."
"The Qin Dynasty will surely unify the world."
"Long live the king, long live the Qin Dynasty."
All the civil and military officials in the court shouted again.
"Propagate the imperial edict."
"Take all the captured princes and nobles from Zhao back to Qin."
"Take all the ministers and their families to Daqin."
"All of them were reduced to slavery and branded with slavery marks."
“After returning, the Chief Justice will make a list and give all the slaves to the meritorious officials.” Ying Zheng said in a majestic voice.
"Your Majesty is wise."
All the civil and military officials in the court shouted excitedly.
The destruction of Zhao overturned the national strength of the Qin Dynasty. All the civil and military officials in the court were credited with great contributions. As long as one served in the court, there would be a chance to receive rewards. This has always been the case.
After the destruction of Han, many court officials also received rewards from Ying Zheng.
"Your Majesty."
"This time when Zhao was destroyed, quite a few soldiers surrendered."
"These people consume a lot of food and grass every day, and we need to work out how to deal with them." Wang Wan stepped forward and said.
"Shaofu."
"How many surrendered soldiers are there in Zhao now?" Ying Zheng looked at Wei Liao.
"Return to the King."
"If all the county soldiers of Zhao are counted, the number of surrendered soldiers in the entire Zhao area is probably close to 400,000, and this does not include those deserters who escaped from the Zhao army." Wei Liao replied respectfully.
"Four hundred thousand people is indeed a bit too many." Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty."
"I think we can still treat some of the surrendered soldiers the same way we treated them before, sending them to the northern border as slaves or to other parts of our Great Qin as slaves," Wang Wan said respectfully.
"I second the motion."
"If all these slaves are reorganized, the waste will be too great. We can screen them first before reorganizing them." Wei Zhuang also said.
"What does the Chief Justice think?" Ying Zheng looked at Li Si.
"The elite soldiers of our Great Qin are strictly divided. Only after many tests can they become elite soldiers and have titles. However, the soldiers of other countries have not been strictly tested, and their quality varies."
"Indeed, they need to be screened before being reorganized into a prisoner army." Li Si replied immediately.
Although he did not get along with Wang Wan and others, this matter concerned the foundation of the country, so Li Si would naturally not be vague about it.
This may also be the reason why Ying Zheng trusted him. When it comes to state affairs, Li Si has always been serious.
"Since all the ministers have said so."
"So many surrendered soldiers naturally need to be treated with caution."
"Pass my edict to General Wang Jian, and have him order people to select the young and strong elite soldiers among the surrendered soldiers and select them to meet the standards of our Great Qin's new recruits. Those who are unqualified will be demoted to slaves and exiled to the northern border and Shu." Ying Zheng immediately issued an edict.
"Your Majesty is wise." All the ministers said in unison.
Ying Zheng raised his hand and said: "The State of Zhao has been destroyed. In addition to selecting and reorganizing the surrendered soldiers, we also need capable officials to govern Zhao."
"Your Majesty."
"Yingchuan County has been under the control of our Great Qin for more than two years. Now it has all surrendered. However, Yingchuan is too large to be governed by one county. I suggest that it can be divided into counties. The previous Han area can be divided into three counties." Han Fei stood up and proposed.
"You mentioned this before."
"It's up to you."
"Divide Yingchuan into three counties for governance. You will personally take care of the specific division." Ying Zheng said to Han Fei.
"I will obey the imperial edict and will not disgrace the king's order." Han Fei said immediately.
"Your Majesty."
"I recommended Mi Li and Meng Shu to go to Zhao to govern."
"They are definitely capable of taking on this important task." Wang Wan stepped forward immediately.
"I recommend Lord Yao Jia to go." Li Si also stood up immediately.
Han Fei was not polite at this moment and immediately stood up and said: "Since I entered the Qin Dynasty to serve the king, although I have handled a lot of government affairs for the Qin Dynasty, these are not enough to repay the king's kindness. I would like to ask for permission to go to Zhao to govern. I hope the king will grant me permission."
Hearing Han Fei's words.
Wang Wan and Li Si's eyes fell on Han Fei at the same time. They obviously did not expect Han Fei to interfere.
Not to mention them, even Ying Zheng was quite surprised.
Although Han Fei went to Qin to work, he was always in a leisurely state. He did not do more or less. He always completed his own tasks and did not fight for anything.
But everyone in the court knew that Han Fei was a man of great talent. Not to mention the political affairs of the Internal Affairs Bureau, he could easily handle even the affairs of the Nine Ministers.
But he had no merit, so it was impossible for him to go further.
Military generals compete for military merit.
Civil officials competed for governance achievements.
This is true in every era.
"The Internal History has great talent."
"Since you have asked for my order, I believe you are fully capable of governing Zhao."
"Zhao has a vast territory and a population of tens of millions, but it is still a bit tiring for the Internal Secretary to govern alone."
"I will allow you to govern Zhao."
"But we still need someone to govern Daidi..."
Ying Zheng smiled slightly and directly agreed to Han Fei's request, but he paused and did not intend to hand over the entire political affairs of Zhao to him.
"Father."
"Your son requests to govern Daidi."
Fusu suddenly stood up and asked loudly.
now.
Fusu's eyes were full of desire.
Wang Wan and Wei Zhuang on the side became anxious and used their eyes to signal Fusu frantically that he should not do this.
As the eldest son, he fell into inferiority after making this request. As the eldest son, and the person most likely to become the crown prince in everyone's eyes, what he should do is to consolidate his position and strive to make further progress.
Governing a region is the job of an official, not him as the eldest son. What he needs to do is to improve himself and operate at the center of the Qin Empire.
Ying Zheng looked at Fusu without any expression.
Then he said, "Feng Qing."
His eyes turned to Feng Jie.
There are two outstanding people in the Feng family. Feng Quji is one of the Nine Ministers, and although his younger brother Feng Jie is not one of the Nine Ministers, he also holds a high position and is appointed as the Shangqing.
"I'm here." Feng Jie responded immediately.
"I'll leave the Dai area to you to govern," Ying Zheng said majestically.
"I thank the king for his trust."
"I will not let the king down." Feng Jie immediately accepted the order.
Everyone in the court knew that the governance of the newly annexed Zhao territory was the achievement of the civil officials, and they would be promoted when they returned.
"certainly."
"Ministers recommended by the Prime Minister and the Minister of Justice can also be used."
"Mi Li, Yao Jia." Ying Zheng spoke slowly, looking around the court.
"I am here."
The two people whose names were called immediately stood out from the line of civil officials, excitement evident on their faces.
"Mi Li went to Daidi to assist Feng Qing."
"Yao Jia went to Zhao to assist Han Qing."
"Now that Zhao State has been initially established, these two places will be divided first. After Yingchuan is completely brought under the control of our Great Qin, we will then discuss the division of the counties." Ying Zheng said majestically.
"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. I swear to repay you with my life." Mi Li and the other man responded immediately.
"That's right."
Ying Zheng suddenly thought of something and a smile appeared between his brows.
Fusu immediately looked at his father expectantly.
"General Zhao Feng enlisted in the army at the age of sixteen. Now he is almost twenty years old and has not returned home once."
"When we were in Handan, I promised him that after he conquered Zhao, he would be allowed to rest."
"Tingwei, after you pass on the imperial edict, send someone to tell Zhao Feng, I will allow him to take a day off."
"But we still have to wait until all the cities in Zhao are under our control and all the surrendered soldiers are gathered together." Ying Zheng smiled at Wei Liao.
"I understand." Wei Liao smiled.
"alright."
"Do you have anything else to report? If not, let's adjourn the court." Ying Zheng asked as he glanced around the court.
As soon as these words fell.
A look of disappointment appeared on Fusu's face.
Originally he thought Ying Zheng would give him a chance.
"If my father gives me a chance, I will prove to him that I can govern Zhao with benevolence and righteousness, and that I will be more gentle than the Legalists and win more hearts of the people." Fusu thought firmly in his heart.
But even so.
Ying Zheng seemed to see through him and didn't give him any chance at all.
What is benevolence and righteousness? We have just destroyed the Zhao people. It is useless to talk about benevolence and righteousness to them now.
The way to rule must be to use severe punishments.
"No original song."
"Let's adjourn the court."
Ying Zheng waved his hand, said no more, and turned to walk towards Zhangtai Palace.
"We, the ministers, respectfully bid farewell to the king." All the ministers bowed and shouted, watching Ying Zheng leave.
Inside Zhangtai Palace, in the back hall! Ying Zheng holds the royal seal...
