Daqin: Prince Peerless, guarding Hangu for ten years!

Chapter 124 Defeat Zhou and return Shang to Qin!

Qin State, the capital of Xianyang, rode westward and swept through the streets of Xianyang like the wind.

"Great victory in Handan!"

"General Ying Jun led his troops to attack Handan!!!"

The high-pitched words resounded along the streets, and countless Qin people who heard the news were stunned on the spot.

"Handan was captured?"

"Handan was defeated by the army."

"Oh my god! We defeated Handan so quickly!!!"

A series of exclamations sounded from the crowd, but in an instant all the Qin people who reacted were excited.

Conquer Handan!

Handan is captured!
Even the most ordinary Qin people can understand the significance of Qin's victory over Handan City. Zhao will no longer be able to compete with Qin.

"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!"

In an instant, cheers rang out on the street. Countless people high-fived each other, raised their arms and shouted, running to tell each other with ecstasy. Countless children felt the joy of the adults. It started like a crazy horse. Have fun.

In a short period of time, the news of Handan's great victory spread like crazy in Xianyang City. More and more people heard the news and rushed out of their homes with expressions of ecstasy.

The victorious horse rushed straight to the Qin Palace with lightning speed, and the boiling cheers surged towards the direction of the Qin Palace like a frenzy.

In the Xianyang Palace, King Qin Ying Ji was discussing matters with his ministers. Suddenly, a loud noise came from outside, instantly interrupting everyone's discussion.

"What happened outside? Go and find out quickly." Ying Ji immediately became angry. When did the people of Qin become so impetuous and make such a noise in broad daylight.

"No!" The Iron Eagle warriors on duty outside the palace immediately took the order and ran away.

The ministers in the hall also frowned, and at the same time turned their heads to look outside the hall, and started whispering among themselves.

"What happened? Why are the Chinese people so excited?"

"Could it be that there was an urgent report from the border that the Yi and Di people outside the Great Wall were attacking again?"

"The timing is right, but the Yi Di outside are not a threat to our Great Qin..."

"Could it be that the Battle of Handan had another setback, and the Six Kingdoms of Shandong once again increased their troops..."

The buzzing discussion resounded in the hall. The original sound was very small, but due to the large number of people at this moment, the sound could not be covered up at all. It resounded through the hall like a tide, and was even heard by Prime Minister Fan Ju at the front. .

Fan Ju glanced at Ying Ji, whose face was as heavy as water, and immediately stood up and shouted: "Quiet!"

In an instant, everyone's discussion in the hall stopped abruptly. Everyone turned around and looked at the Prime Minister Fan Ju at the front, and at the King of Qin Ying Ji at the top.

Ying Ji took a deep breath and scanned the people below with his majestic eyes. He had almost heard the discussion of the ministers in the hall just now. He also had some guesses in his heart. He immediately looked at Fan Ju and asked:

"Prime Minister, do you think the situation in Handan has changed?"

As he spoke, Ying Ji's expression was extremely serious, and the only thing he cared about at the moment was this one thing.

Conquer Handan.

Conquer Handan!

He has almost staked everything in Qin State on this matter. If the situation in Handan changes, although it will not bring Qin State to a standstill, it will slow down the pace of Qin State's prosperity.

Without the exact news reaching his hands or in front of him, Ying Ji never had a peaceful sleep at all, and he had no mind to pay attention to other things.

At this moment, when he heard that the Chinese people outside were so excited, his already tense nerves were immediately aroused.

However, Fan Ju below heard the words and frowned and thought for a moment. He knew very well what was in Ying Ji's heart, and immediately handed over his hands and reported:

"Your Majesty, there has been no movement at all among the Six Kingdoms recently. Except for the news of Chu's defeat, which is seizing the time to prepare for war, there has been no movement at all from the rest of South Korea, Wei, and Qi. ."

"Calculate the time, it is less than a month since the general led out of Hedong to attack Handan. At this moment, the army must be attacking Handan fiercely, while resisting Qi's 30 reinforcements. With [-] troops there, the situation in Zhao must be It cannot make any waves."

After saying this, Fan Ju paused and said with a solemn look on his face:

"Only news came from Wang Zizhu recently that the Yi Di tribe outside the Great Wall seems to be uneasy recently. From time to time, scouts appear outside the Great Wall to check the situation. There are even large groups of people stationed outside the Great Wall to spy on the Great Wall guards."

As soon as these words came out, the superior Ying Ji narrowed his eyes, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and said in a cold voice: "Those who don't know whether to live or die are preparing to go south to rob our Qin country again."

"I think so too." Fan Ju immediately agreed with a stern expression, and then said: "I have dispatched soldiers and horses from counties and counties behind the Great Wall to reinforce the guards of the Great Wall. If Rong Di goes south, we will try our best to keep them out of the Great Wall. .”

As he spoke, a look of helplessness flashed across Fan Ju's face.

Almost everyone in Rongdi is on horseback, and the army's southward attack comes and goes like the wind. Especially when the temperature drops sharply in winter, and when the population of Rongdi outside the Great Wall increases sharply, entire families move southward.

While robbing the Qin State of supplies for the winter, and at the same time consuming the excess population through fighting, this is the true wolf mentality.

However, the number of cavalry in the Qin State is very sparse at the moment, which is simply not enough to defend the long Great Wall defense line. The gang of Rong and Di thieves will always find a gap, and then rush into the country, burning, killing and looting.

In recent years, even though a large army was stationed on the Great Wall, even with Wang Zizhu personally guarding it, it was impossible to guard against it and blocked the large Rongdi tribe. However, there were still small groups of rangers who broke into the Great Wall.

It brought unimaginable killings to the people on the border, and even like locusts, it wreaked havoc on the farmland on the border.

When Ying Ji heard this, his anger surged, he punched the table in front of him, and said angrily: "When Prince Jun returns from victory, he will be ordered to expand the size of the Qin army's cavalry, and then defeat the northern Rong and Di bandits in one fell swoop, and seize all their territory." , destroy his bloodline."

Although the Qin State was not afraid of Rong and Di, it was still upset when facing the troops of Rong and Di who came and went like the wind.

As he spoke, Ying Ji's brows furrowed and he raised his eyes to look outside the hall again. The original noise not only did not subside, but intensified.

Ying Ji was already angry in his heart, but now he couldn't suppress it anymore. He immediately asked angrily: "What happened outside? Do you want me to go check it out in person?"

Immediately, the iron eagle warrior generals on duty outside the hall immediately turned out of the hall, and were about to go to check it out in person, when bursts of cheers came from outside the front palace.

"Great victory!"

"Great victory in Handan!"

"General Ying Jun led his army to conquer Handan!"

One after another, high-pitched roars sounded one after another. When the sound was transmitted clearly into the hall, everyone was stunned on the spot as if turned to stone, with disbelief on their faces.

Handan... is broken?
At this moment, accompanied by a burst of hurried footsteps, a knight reporting victory rushed across the square outside the palace with the victory report held high, and quickly rushed up the steps. In the eyes of everyone who was extremely shocked, he rushed in covered with dust. He entered the main hall of King Qin, passed through the open space among the ministers, and prostrated himself directly under the platform of King Qin Ying Ji.

"Your Majesty, great victory in Handan!!!"

In an instant, everyone's body trembled, and their eyes widened. They stared at the victory report in the knight's hand. They all held their breaths, and the entire hall instantly became silent.

The King of Qin, Ying Ji, who was at the head, trembled, his eyes widened instantly, and he suddenly stood up from the throne where he was sitting, trembling all over and murmuring: "Handan... is broken?"

Immediately, Ying Ji turned around and said: "Quick, give it to me quickly..." But before he finished speaking, Ying Ji had already stepped over the table in front of him, even his steps were shaking. I couldn't care less and walked to the platform myself to get the good news.

Excitement, excitement, surprise.

Various emotions emerged in Ying Ji's heart. Even though he had thought before that Ying Jun would definitely be able to defeat Handan, he never thought that this surprise would come so quickly.

In less than a month, Ying Jun led his troops to attack Handan City.

That was Handan, the capital of Zhao State, and it was Handan City that Wang Ling and Wang Lu had been attacking for three years without being able to break through...

The next second, Ying Ji fiercely reached out and grabbed the victory report in the knight's hand, and was about to tear open the red seal on it, but his trembling hands had no strength at this moment, and he couldn't pull the thread apart. He was so anxious. Ying Ji's face turned red.

"Your Majesty..." Upon seeing this, the chamberlain on the side immediately stepped forward to help, but was pulled away by Ying Ji with a palm: "Stand back."

At this time, the Prime Minister Fan Ju next to him stepped forward, stretched out his hand to steady Ying Ji's trembling hand, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, let me come. All the ministers also want to hear such a good news."

Seeing this, Ying Ji turned his head and looked at the ministers behind him. When he saw them holding their breath and stretching their necks to watch, he suddenly burst into laughter, and the tension caused by the excitement in his heart dissipated instantly. , and immediately put the good news into Fan Ju's hand, and said with a loud laugh:
"Then read it to them and let them listen carefully!"

After speaking, Ying Ji pressed the King Qin sword on his waist with one hand, straightened his body and stood on the platform, looking down at the crowd with a majestic look.

Fan Ju suppressed the excitement and nervousness in his heart, but he quickly opened the red seal on the victory report and took out the bamboo slip reporting the victory.

Inside the palm-wide box, there is actually only a large bamboo slip, with the news of victory densely written in large seal scripts on it.

"The King Rumian: On January 51, the 30st year of the throne, General Ying Jun personally led an army of 14 troops to defeat the Han, Yan, and Qi coalition forces outside Handan City. The coalition generals were Yan State General Qin Kai, Qi State General Le Xi, and South Korea General Behead all [-] people including Han Hui..."

After thinking of this, Fan Ju's hands trembled a little, his eyes widened as he looked at the bamboo slips in front of him in shock, and his voice became uncontrollably high-pitched:
"On the same day, the army broke through Handan, the capital of Zhao State, and massacred without calculation. Except for Zhao State General Lian Po and Prime Minister Zhao Sheng who escaped with the Zhao State Prince, all the Zhao soldiers in Handan City were killed, and more than 14 Zhao people were captured... Zhao Wangdan died in the city!"

It was like a thunder that exploded directly in everyone's hearts.

Boom.

Everyone inside and outside the hall who heard the news was stunned to the spot.

Quiet.

Deathly silence.

The silence in the whole hall suddenly reached the extreme. The contents of the good news echoed clearly in everyone's ears, but everyone opened their mouths and stared at Fan Ju in dumbfounded. Looking at the good news in Fan Ju's hand, their bodies began to tremble.

This?
This.

This! ! !
There were thousands of words to say in the past, but now I couldn't say anything.

Even the leader, King Qin Ying Ji, was equally shocked and froze on the spot, unable to believe his ears.

The formation killed 14 troops.

He also captured Handan City.

Even Zhao Wangdan is dead...

hiss!
Amidst the gasps from the ministers below, Ying Ji suddenly woke up, his face turned red instantly, and he roared loudly:
"it is good!"

"it is good!"

"Okay!"

Roaring with extreme excitement, the veins on Ying Ji's flushed neck bulged, and he walked down even more excitedly, snatched the good news from Fan Ju's hand, and browsed it personally.

Whoosh, whoosh—

Ying Ji's breathing became heavier instantly, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.

When he finished reading the last word, the eyes on Ying Ji's raised face were so bright that it was impossible to look directly at him. He was so excited that at the same time, the pressure of the king swept over the ministers in the palace. He raised the victory report in his hand and shouted loudly. Get up:

"This is a great victory, a great victory, a great victory!!!"

"What kind of good news is this? This is not good news at all. This is my clarion call for Da Qin to unify the world!!!"

At the end of his speech, Ying Ji couldn't restrain the ecstasy in his heart. He raised his arms and just stood in the hall and laughed.

Excitement, joy, excitement, ecstasy...

Many emotions flooded his heart, and Ying Ji smiled with tears streaming down his face, but he still didn't stop. He raised the good news in his hand and gradually shouted heartbreakingly:
"Destiny lies with me, Da Qin!!! Hahaha!!!"

With a bang, the ministers in the hall could no longer suppress the joy in their hearts. At this moment, they also high-fived and cheered regardless of their status and manners.

Won.

I won!

Qin completely defeated the six countries this time!
The next moment, cheers from the Qin people in Xianyang City came from outside the palace.

"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!"

In an instant, no one hesitated at all, and all the people raised their arms and shouted together with the soldiers inside and outside the palace.

"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!"

Deafening sounds filled the sky, and the roaring sound almost knocked over the roof of the entire hall, blurring all the sounds except for the continuous cheers of 'Wan Sheng'.

After a long time, the cry gradually became lower. Everyone's scalps were numb and their mouths were trembling, but their faces still showed excitement.

The sound of wheezing and wheezing resounded one after another in the hall, causing the temperature in the entire hall to rise a few points.

But at this moment, everyone was still not completely calm. As their chests rose and fell, surging blood swept across them, and a pair of eyes looked at Ying Ji with shining eyes.

See this scene.

Ying Ji, who was at the top, swept across the ministers and fiercely pulled out the King of Qin sword from his waist. As the cold light flashed, sonorous words resounded:
"I have said before that I will conquer the Zhou Dynasty and Shang Dynasty to defeat the destiny! Now the destiny is in our Qin Dynasty, and I will do my duty!!!"

The breaths of the ministers froze in an instant, and their hearts began to beat wildly in unison. A thought appeared in everyone's mind very clearly.

At this moment, Ying Ji slashed down with the long sword he was carrying, his eyes were stern, and his high-pitched and stern voice resounded clearly in everyone's ears:

"It is said that the six kings will make an alliance with the six kings in the Kingdom of Zhou fifteen days later. The time for Qin to dominate has arrived!!!"

"What the Six Nations want to do but dare not do, I will do it in front of them this time!!!"

"You must see clearly, I, the Qin Dynasty, want to dominate the world. Who dares to act arrogantly among the six countries!!!"

Boom.

The ministers could no longer suppress the excitement and surging in their hearts. In an instant, they all fell to their knees on the ground, their faces flushed, and they roared hoarsely:
"Defeat the Zhou Dynasty and the Shang Dynasty, and return the world to Qin!!!"
