The Six Arts of the Gentleman in the Bright Moon of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 626: Bingzhou does not accept rebellious ministers [Please subscribe*Please vote]

In fact, Guo Kai was just a representative pushed forward by Handan, but no one expected that what Guo Kai did was beyond their imagination and expectations.

They forced away famous generals such as Lian Po, Le Cheng, and Li Mu, and then were keen to divide up the immediate benefits, which eventually led to the arrival of the Qin army, and they were unable to resist.

"This plan!" Wang Jian took over this secret plan hidden in the deep palace of the Zhao royal family from Ying Zheng. After reading it, he felt that Zhao was doomed to die.

If the plans of King Xiaocheng of Zhao, Lord Pingyuan Zhao Sheng, the world-famous Lin Xiangru and other wise men of Zhao succeeded, then Zhao would become an ironclad and powerful vassal state.

Just imagine, if the Zhao army, which had been fighting against the Hu tribes in the grasslands for many years, marched south, could the Qin State easily capture Yanyu City? Could it capture Jingxing Pass?
They could only take the old route of the Qin State, the road from Changping to Handan, and avoid the important cities of the Zhao State.

But that would just be repeating the same mistakes.

"So, we won by luck!" Ying Zheng sighed.

I can only say that they are worthy of being King Xiaocheng of Zhao, Lin Xiangru, and Zhao Sheng!
They were famous in their respective times and are worthy of respect.

"Reward the three armies. It's time for me to return to Xianyang!" Ying Zheng threw the plan into the brazier.

Winning means everything.

Wang Jian nodded. He came here just to know the standard of the reward this time.

"General Wang, do you want to accumulate military merits and become a marquis all at once, or do you want to take it step by step?" Ying Zheng looked at Wang Jian with a smile.

Wang Jian's breathing suddenly became heavy. Ying Zheng's question meant that it was a foregone conclusion that he would become Marquis of Wu.

However, Ying Zheng was also worried that he would not be able to be given any more titles in the future, so he hoped that he could suppress himself.

As for the feudal lords, Wang Jian did not think about it because the previous feudal lord with a different surname had already died.

"I hope to be granted the title of nobility at once!" Wang Jian naturally would not make things difficult for Ying Zheng.

By virtue of his contribution in destroying Zhao, he would naturally be granted the title of nobility.

But this also means that after this time, he will have to go home and be unemployed and put on ice.

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Then reward the three armies. Add another 10% on top of the military merits."

"Yes!" Wang Jian accepted the order.

The lowest level of military merit is based on beheadings. This time they did not commit too many killings and the number of beheadings was not large, so if you really count them, there are great merits, but if you really count them carefully, there are not many small merits. The ones who benefited more are the generals who need great merits to complete their posts, from literati to officials, and from officials to ministers, rather than the lower-level soldiers.

Ying Zheng added another 10% reward on top of the military merit titles, which meant that most of the soldiers who participated in the war would be promoted, which was a real reward for the three armies.

As Wang Jian issued the reward order, the entire Qin army camp involved in the battle fell into complete carnival.

"My King for ten thousand years!"

"Great Qin Dynasty for ten thousand years!"

This is Handan tonight, joy spreads throughout the city.

Although the people of Handan felt a little jealous, they did not have the kind of anger that occurred after the Battle of Changping and the Battle of Handan, when thousands of households hung white silks.

Especially after learning about the treatment other cities received after they surrendered to Qin, the people of Handan even began to look forward to it.

Compared with other cities in Zhao State, Handan was truly prosperous. Almost all the land there was medium or upper grade. Especially when one by one the royal family members were killed, their original fiefs would be divided equally.

So, in Handan tonight, everyone has a sweet dream and a bright future.

The only one who might not have a good dream is Yan Yan.

Zhuque was very fast, so they arrived at Hongshang Pass that night.

"Why are you here?" Yan Yan was stunned when he saw Shao Siming and Yan Lingji, who were dressed elegantly. "Someone has been on the run for more than half a year. If we don't come out to look for him, are we waiting for him to go back?" Yan Lingji said calmly.

Yan Yan was embarrassed. It was impossible to reason with a woman, so...

After a sleepless night, Yan Yan walked out of the room the next day with dark circles under his eyes, holding his waist.

"Your Majesty!" Gongsun Nu and a group of Bingzhou generals had already been waiting in the conference room.

This time, their expedition was not ordered by Yan Yan, but was the result of discussions and decisions by the Beiye Royal Court.

"Young Master Jia is here?" Yan Yan nodded slightly, signaling the soldiers not to be polite, and asked.

"Hmm!" Gongsun Nu turned around and asked someone to invite Zhao Jia over.

Soon, Zhao Jia came to the hall alone.

"Prince Jia, greetings to King Bing!" Zhao Jia is worthy of being the successor who has been trained with emphasis since the reign of King Xiaocheng of Zhao. His behavior is extremely consistent with the demeanor that a prince should have.

Yan Yan looked at Zhao Jia but was slow to speak, leaving Zhao Jia just bowed his body.

Zhao Jia did not receive any return greeting from Yan Yan, so he just kept bending over and did not raise his head to peek. He maintained the same posture throughout, without any wavering or impoliteness.

"Stand up!" After a long while, Yan Yan raised his hand to let him stand up, "Come here, please give me a seat!"

"Thank you, Mr. Bing!" Zhao Jia knelt naturally in front of the table in the middle of the hall.

"The State of Zhao was destroyed. When I left, King Qian of Zhao had already been stripped of his title and executed by beheading in public!" Yan Yan said coldly.

When Zhao Jia heard Yan Yan's words, his body trembled noticeably, but he quickly regained his composure.

"As the King of Zhao, I should live and die with the State of Zhao!" Zhao Jia spoke calmly, as if the one who died was not his brother. Of course, they did not have much brotherhood.

"It's a good explanation, but your literary literacy needs to be improved. Wouldn't it be better to change it to "the king dies for the country"? " Yan Yan said with a smile.

"..." Zhao Jia obviously didn't expect that Yan Yan summoned him here to discuss literature with him.

"What about you?" Yan Yan suddenly changed the subject, murderous aura bursting out of his body.

Zhao Jia shuddered. He had only seen this kind of cold imperial power from his grandfather, and it was even more powerful than his grandfather.

"So, do you want to choose life or death?" Yan Yan withdrew his pressure.

Zhao Jia's mind raced, it seemed that everything was beyond their expectations, or rather, Bingzhou was completely different from what they expected, and Bing Jun was even more so.

“Bingzhou is not a vassal state, but the guardian of Chinese civilization.

If Zhao State is destroyed and you are willing to surrender, Bingzhou will give you a chance to survive.

However, please put aside your little thoughts, Bingzhou will not participate in the battle for the Central Plains.

If you want to gain recognition and support from Bingzhou, establish yourself as king in Dai County.

So, please go back to where you came from.

If you think you can control Dai County, I don't mind letting you catch up with Zhao Qian."

Yan Yan's voice was cold and murderous.

Zhao Jia's hair stood on end. He knew that Yan Yan was not joking. If they really made trouble in Dai County, Yan Yan would really send them to see Zhao Qian.

"So, now, tell me your choice!" Yan Yan stood up and stared at Zhao Jia.
