Chapter 72: Han Capital has been conquered!
First sentence!
"Han has been destroyed."
Just seeing this sentence, Ying Zheng's brows lit up with joy.
The fall of the Han capital was equivalent to the demise of the Han state.
The Qin Dynasty's road to the east has been opened.
“It’s really good news.”
"It looks like South Korea is going to die."
Seeing the joy on Ying Zheng's brows, the ministers in the hall immediately understood.
Those who can stand in this hall are all important officials of the Qin Dynasty. Each of them is a shrewd person and knows how to read people's expressions.
Ying Zheng did not put down the military newspaper, but continued reading it.
And seeing this, Ying Zheng's expression became more and more surprised.
"The general who broke the city, Captain Zhao Feng, was the first to achieve the feat of breaking the city."
"Behead Han's new general Cao Yi, and behead Han's prime minister Zhang Ping."
"It's him again!"
After General Ying Zheng finished reading the newspaper, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
After the Qin army launched an attack on Han, the name that appeared most often in front of Ying Zheng was not Wang Jian, nor Li Teng, but Zhao Feng who appeared again in the military report.
He started out as a logistics officer and was later transferred to the main combat battalion.
Now it is shining again.
"It seems that my Great Qin is truly blessed by heaven, giving me such a brave general." Ying Zheng smiled in his heart and calmed his mind.
Then he looked at the ministers in front of him.
"The general reports that the capital of Han has been captured." Ying Zheng smiled slightly and said to the ministers in front of him.
The words fell.
The ministers in the hall looked at each other excitedly, and immediately bowed to Ying Zheng: "We congratulate the king."
"Han is the weakest country among all the nations."
"Over the years, our Great Qin has been encroaching on their territory, so it is no surprise that we are destroying their country now."
"Although the capital of Han has been destroyed, there is still one thing Li Teng has not told me." Ying Zheng said slowly.
The officials' expressions changed slightly.
But Wei Liao immediately stepped forward and asked tentatively: "May I ask your Majesty, is there something wrong with the King of Han?"
"Read it for yourself." Ying Zheng waved the military report in his hand, and Zhao Gao beside him immediately picked it up and presented it to Wei Liao.
The latter opened it and immediately looked closely. His expression changed from calm to a hint of surprise, and then he frowned again when he read to the end.
Ministers such as Wang Wan all focused their attention on Wei Liao.
"Your Majesty."
"Even if the King of Han really escaped from the capital of Han, he would definitely not be able to escape from the territory of Han. With the fall of the capital of Han, the area around it is full of our Great Qin elite soldiers. Even tens of thousands of soldiers and horses would not be able to fight their way out, let alone the fleeing King of Han."
"As long as General Li intensifies the search, we will be able to find the King of Han." Wei Liao said seriously.
"Since the King of Han dared to flee, he naturally thought of a way to deal with the search."
“If he is really allowed to escape, it will be a disaster for our Great Qin. If he is allowed to escape to Zhao State and the King of Zhao mobilizes troops in his name, then our Great Qin will be in turmoil when it invades Han State.” Li Si said with a serious face.
Hearing what Li Si said.
Wang Wan and others also looked serious.
"Father."
"If the King of Han flees, there will be endless disasters. I have a suggestion." Fusu stood up. Although he looked young, he was very confident.
"explain."
Ying Zheng glanced at his eldest son and revealed a sense of expectation.
Now Fusu is fourteen years old, and Ying Zheng is also focusing on his training.
"I think that the King of Han fled because of the murderous intention of our Great Qin. He may have predicted that after our Great Qin captured him, your father would kill him. He wants the King of Han to show up. As long as your father issues an edict, stating that as long as he shows up and surrenders, your father will treat him with kindness, I believe the King of Han will definitely show up." Fusu said earnestly.
unexpectedly.
After he said this.
Ying Zheng's original expectations were gone, and instead a hint of disappointment flashed across his face.
Wang Wan's expression changed and he felt a little uneasy.
“This matter.”
"The general should be able to handle the situation properly. He will capture the King of Han without my urging."
"Wei Qing, once the general has any news, you must report it to me immediately." Ying Zheng ignored Fusu and looked at Wei Liao and said.
"I understand." Wei Liao immediately accepted the order.
But at this time, seeing that his father did not adopt his strategy, Fusu was puzzled and asked: "May I ask, father, is it that my son's strategy is not working?"
"If they were the ministers and officials of Han, it would be fine to promise them favors and treat them generously, but the King of Han is the ruler of a country."
"For him, is the so-called grace of surrender comparable to the hatred of losing his country?" Ying Zheng glanced at Fusu and finally explained the reason in a teaching tone.
As soon as these words fell.
Fusu's face changed slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he bowed to Ying Zheng and said, "I understand."
Ying Zheng nodded and said nothing more: "Xiangbang."
"I'm here, old minister." Wang Wan responded immediately.
"Although Fusu has become Chunyu Yue's disciple, he still lacks in government affairs. You still need to teach him more." Ying Zheng looked at Wang Wan and said.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty."
"It is my duty to teach the eldest prince. I will do my best to teach him so that he can help the king as soon as possible." Wang Wan said immediately.
"Wei Qing."
"You also read the military newspaper."
"Zhao Feng was the first to conquer the capital of Han. He also killed Han's new general and the prime minister."
"In your opinion, how should we be promoted?" Ying Zheng looked at Wei Liao and asked.
"Return to the King."
"The merit of breaking the city is the primary merit. Those with the rank of captain or above can be promoted one level and their titles can be raised two levels, but..." Wei Liao replied respectfully.
"But what?" Ying Zheng stared at Wei Liao.
"I think it would be better to reward them according to their merits after Han is completely pacified." Wei Liao said with a smile.
"Zhao Feng?"
"Could it be Zhao Feng who transferred from the logistics army to the main combat camp?" Li Si asked with interest.
As soon as these words came out.
The eyes of others also focused on Wei Liao.
If it were other generals in the army, they might not be so remembered.
But Zhao Feng is completely different.
On that day in the court, a logistics soldier killed General Han and performed a remarkable feat. It is hard for this incident not to be remembered.
You can say that.
Zhao Feng's name has been remembered by many ministers in the court.
"It's him." Wei Liao said with a smile.
"Is Zhao Feng really so powerful?"
"Did you take the first place in breaking the city?"
After confirming that it was Queen Zhao, Li Si still found it hard to believe.
"This is the military report. It will be verified by the military merit soldiers and then by the Central Army Sima. It cannot be falsified." Wei Liao replied with a smile.
Wei Liao was very confident in the military rewards and punishments that he personally presided over.
Once the war starts, he will send many military merit soldiers in charge of counting the military merits, as well as the Sima of the central army.
"I congratulate the king."
"This child."
"He is truly a talented person." Li Si clasped his fists and congratulated Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng smiled slightly: "This boy is indeed a brave general. I see in him the shadow of a former member of my Great Qin!"
As soon as these words fell.
All the ministers focused their attention.
