General Qin

After the Qin army occupied the city of the Yue people, they lingered here for three days.

One is to rescue the wounded in the Yue people's night attack and the battle of Wangcheng, and to bury the dead body of Pao Ze, which will take some time.

The second is to deal with the corpse of Xiong Qi who committed suicide, so that it will not be corrupted in the hot summer weather, so that Qin Jun can bring it back to Xianyang smoothly.

As for capturing Xiong Qi alive, Zhao Tuo had no such idea.

Qin Wangzheng hated Xiong Qi's betrayal, and this hatred went deep into his bone marrow, so he would grit his teeth and say to Zhao Tuo: "I want Xiong Qi to die!"

But at the same time, Xiong Qi is an old minister who has assisted Qin Wangzheng for more than ten years, and even has a blood relationship with Qin Wangzheng. After so many years of assisting and getting along with each other, it is impossible to say that there is no relationship between the two .

If Qin Wangzheng sees Xiong Qi again, he will definitely be in a very complicated mood, and maybe he will become even more furious after a conversation.

Under such circumstances, if Zhao Tuo captures Xiong Qi alive and asks Qin Wangzheng to personally order Xiong Qi to be killed, wouldn't that be an embarrassment to the king?

As a subordinate, you must learn to share your worries for the leader.

Not to mention the thousands of miles from Yuedi back to Xianyang, most of which are in the land of Chu State, who knows what will happen on the way?

In case of an accident, let the cooked duck fly, that would be bad luck.

It is only insured if the person dies.

So when Xiong Qi begged for a sword to kill himself, Zhao Tuo readily agreed.

Once Xiong Qi died, Zhao Tuo's original promise to Qin Wangzheng was fulfilled.

He can finally return to Xianyang!

However, in order to ensure the safety of going back from Yue, and to facilitate the control of the Yue people, after Zhao Tuo released the Yue King Wuyou, he took his favorite son Zou Chang as a hostage in the hands of the Qin army.

Soon, after Zhao Tuo finished handling the matter of the Yue people, the soldiers of the Qin army lined up and stood on the way back.

Zhao Tuo rode on the horse, looked back, and saw the black flags fluttering all over the sky, and pairs of eyes were staring at him expectantly.

The war is finally over.

Soldiers, homesick.

Zhao Tuo took a deep breath and said loudly, "Back to Qin!"

"Back to Qin!"

Everyone shouted excitedly.

Whether it was Meng Tian, ​​She Jian, Hei Ji, Su Jiao, or every soldier of the Qin Army, they all shouted excitedly.

go home!

This is their greatest wish at the moment.

The long black dragon winds its way to the north, returning all the way to its far home in the west.

...

Half a month later, Xingyang City.

The mighty doctor's guard surrounded the most luxurious mansion in the city.

The doctors held their heads high and held their chests high, wearing armor and swords, guarding their king.

Since the Qin army captured Shouchun, the king of Chu surrendered, and the general situation of the war in Chu was settled.

Qin Wangzheng took his son Fusu out of the customs and came to Huaiyang, which was originally the capital of Chu, where he accepted the visit of the king and his ministers, and patrolled the Chu land all the way, calming the hearts of Qin's soldiers, and at the same time deterring the people of Chu.

At that time, it happened that Zhao Tuo settled Jiangdong and the news came back that he went south to chase Xiong Qi.

Qin Wangzheng originally intended to wait in Huaiyang, but it was a pity that the distance was getting farther and farther away, and it took a lot of time to go back and forth.

As a king, Qin Wangzheng has too many things to do, even if he cares about Xiong Qi and Zhao Tuo, it is impossible to spend time in this space, so he chooses to set off to return to Xianyang.

As for Wang Jian and the generals, they still stayed in Chu, and continued to pacify and conquer the land that had not yet returned to Qin.

Now Wang Jia is passing through Xingyang, and he will stay here for a day.

Even if it was only for one day, Qin Wangzheng did not choose to rest after inspecting the nearby geographical mountains and rivers, as well as the newly built Ao Cang, but returned to the temporary residence to continue to correct and handle official duties.

"My lord, there is a military report from Yang Duan and the general."

Zhao Gao walked in, smiling and presented a silk book from the front line full of military information.

Qin Wangzheng took the silk scroll, looked at it, and laughed loudly: "Yang Duanhe has pacified Lu, and now Huaibei has planted Qin flags everywhere!"

Zhao Gao hurriedly said: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, Huaibei has all returned to Qin, and it will take only a few days to come to Huainan to settle down."

Qin Wangzheng nodded, stroked his beard and said: "A few days ago, Feng Wuze led his troops to cross the river from Juchao to seize the land of Jiangxi for the widow. The widow will also set up counties there and bring them into the hands of my Qin State. .”

"Congratulations, Great King, General Feng has established Jiangxi, so that the Chu land will be completely in the hands of our Qin people, and there will be no Chu country in the world!"

Zhao Gao hurriedly cupped his hands in congratulations.

The so-called Jiangxi is the place where Yangyue people lived in the past, and it is adjacent to Chu State.

After Wu Qi entered Chu, the state of Chu became strong, so they "collected Yue from the south and merged with Chen Cai from the north". The area controlled by the Chu people reached the end of the Ganjiang River, and the "Limen Fortress" was built at Wuling in the south, and Baiyue in the south of the Lingnan Looking at each other, this is also the southernmost place controlled by the crown and belt countries.

From Zhao Gao's point of view, the southern part of Jiangxi is basically inhabited by Yue people, and there are not many Chu people there, and all of them are poor and weak. Attacking that place is simply a loss-making business.

However, Qin Wangzheng never allowed the land of Chu to escape from Qin's control.

Whenever the king of Qin looked at the map of Chu, he had only one thought in his mind.

mine!

All mine!

Even if he loses his army and exhausts his strength, he will conquer all the Chu lands in the south of the Yangtze River and bring them into his hands.

Qin Wangzheng couldn't help thinking about Zhao Tuo's pursuit of Xiong Qi in the south, he shook his head and said: "The Yue people are rebellious, it may take a year and a half for Feng Wuze to pacify the land of Jiangxi. I don't know how long it will take to clash with the Yue people there and try to capture the traitor back."

Hearing this, Zhao Gao laughed and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, General Zhao is a young hero of our state of Qin. He was able to defeat a hundred thousand Qi troops, and also defeated Chu Yin Xiangyan. It only took a few days to pacify Jiangdong. Such a character, he can't be sure. It will disappoint the king."

Qin Wangzheng glanced at Zhao Gao, smiled lightly and said, "Your words are nice to listen to. You are lenient and bragging about Zhao Tuo. It's a pity that you don't know how to fight with the barbarians, let alone Xiong Qipo With wisdom, with this person joining forces with the Yue people, even if everyone values ​​him, Zhao Tuo, but within a few months, he may not be able to make meritorious deeds."

"I don't know if I can hear from him when I return to Xianyang."

As he spoke, Qin Wangzheng shook his head.

At this moment, a waiter outside the door came to report: "My lord, there is an urgent message from the front line. It is said that it is General Zhao Tuo's news."

Hearing this, Qin Wangzheng and Zhao Gao, who were still talking about Zhao Tuo just now, were taken aback for a moment.

"Quick, present it!"

Qin Wangzheng blushed slightly, and could not help raising his voice.

After Zhao Gao was astonished, he immediately stepped forward to take the encrypted military report from the servant, and turned around to present it to Qin Wangzheng.

Qin Wangzheng took a deep breath, stretched out his hand to take it, uncovered the seal, opened the silk book, and just glanced at it, his eyes widened: "Zhao Tuo... this Zhao Tuo..."

Zhao Gao's heart moved, he cupped his hands and said: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, I guess it was General Zhao who defeated the Vietnamese army and captured the traitor Xiong Qi."

"Xiong Qi is dead."

Qin Wangzheng whispered, his eyes were first angry, and then turned into sadness.

But then, it turned into endless joy.

Qin Wangzheng slapped the silk book on the table and laughed loudly: "What a Zhao Tuo, I asked him to chase Xiong Qi. He not only pacified Jiangdong for the widow, but now he even conquered the land of Yuyue. The king of Yue Being defeated by him, he begged to surrender to Qin, hahaha!"

Zhao Gao was stunned.

He originally thought that it would be good if Zhao Tuo could catch Xiong Qi, but why did this kid even beat Yuyue.

"Zhao Gao, what you said just now is correct."

"Zhao Tuo, I will definitely not let you down!"

Qin Wangzheng's eyes were piercing, and his voice was full of uncontrollable joy.

Zhao Tuo conquered Yue, and the king of Yue begged to surrender.

For Qin Wangzheng, this was a surprise, enough to dilute his complicated emotions about Xiong Qizhi's death.

In the heart of the king, there is only joy.

Qin Wangzheng turned his head and said to Zhao Gao: "Zhao Tuo wants to send the corpse of the traitor back to the capital, so Wang Jian sent another general to take advantage of Zhao Tuo's remaining prestige of subduing the Yue people, and occupy them all in the land of Yue. Combine him with the land of Wu Merge and establish Kuaiji County!"

"only."

Zhao Gao immediately agreed.

The establishment of new counties, the increase of the territory of the empire.

It made Qin Wangzheng feel extremely happy, and at this moment, he gained a great pleasure.

At the same time, his desire to conquer barbarian lands increased sharply.

Qin Wangzheng whispered: "That's how it should be. Qin's generals should be like Zhao Tuo. They not only want to win battles, but also lay down a big territory for me!"

"Tell Feng Wuze that Zhao Tuo has surrendered to Yue. The widow is waiting for him to take down the Yue people in Jiangxi."

...

Following Qin general Zhao Tuo across the river from Wudi, he embarked on the road back to Qin.

He was in the land of Yue, and the news of the capture and killing of the last king of Chu, Xiong Qi, spread all over the place.

The nest in the north of Gandi.

By a river, a group of fishermen were discussing the "big news" that had just arrived here.

"Have you heard that the great king that Ling Yin helped to stand before died, and it is said that he was beheaded by Qin General Zhao Tuo!"

A young fisherman whispered.

Another person asked curiously: "Zhao Tuo? Is that the Zhao Tuo who fought his back, defeated Zuo Sima, and killed Ling Yin in the Huai River?"

"Who else is there besides him? I will tell you quietly. People who escaped from Shouchun told me that Shouchun City was brought down by Zhao Tuo. It is said that even the gods issued a decree, saying 'Tuo the one who destroys Chu' Woolen cloth!"

"Hiss, looking at it this way, the gods are right. This Zhao Tuo killed the king, and really destroyed the state of Chu!"

Just when several fishermen were exclaiming in surprise, an old fisherman not far away smiled "Puff", shook his head and said, "Tuo, the destroyer of Chu, hehe..."

When the fishermen heard the laughter, they looked back and saw the old fisherman's appearance. They were surprised and said, "It turned out to be Fan Jun."

"Why is Fan Jun laughing?"

"Fan Jun" was about to stroke his beard to answer when he saw the people asking questions, but suddenly saw the expressions of these fishermen changed drastically.

"Oops, the beggar ranger is here again."

"Fan Jun" frowned slightly, and looked sideways.

I saw a down-and-out ranger with a big beard striding towards this side...
