The Qin army who followed behind saw the "mess" on the city wall, and naturally thought that this was their contribution, and each and every one of them raised their weapons and cheered.
The scout ran to Ji Jie and reported the victory: "Report to the general, the bandit leader Lin Dawei and his remnants fled. In this battle, more than a thousand enemies were wiped out. Because we found a new cemetery in the west of the city, and the burials should be those who died yesterday." Bandits, there are gradually a thousand new graves!"
"Send someone to count the number of graves so that you can report your merits to the King of Qin. This is all the result of the concerted efforts of all the soldiers!" Ji Jie ordered.
The surrounding Qin soldiers heard it clearly, and they began to shout: "The general is mighty, the general is mighty!"
Mr. Weiwei, if I hadn't discussed this with Lin Dawei in advance, all of you would have died under the city wall, or you wouldn't even be able to find a trace of the mob.
Then, a group of common people, led by an old man, held condolences in their hands to celebrate the "recovery" of Dongjun City on behalf of the people in the city!
These people were also arranged by Lin Dawei.
In this way, the civil unrest in Dongjun that lasted for several years was successfully "quelled" by Ji Jie. The bandits suffered heavy casualties and it would be difficult to recover within "a few years". No matter what others thought, the secretary who accompanied the team was like this anyway. recorded it, and planned to submit the original text directly to the King of Qin.
Mei Duo didn't know when he appeared behind Ji Jie, poked his stomach with his finger, and said meaningfully: "So this is how we win the battle. Brother Jie, I really admire you!"
Ji Jie blushed and said angrily: "That's right! Soldiers are also deceitful, haven't you heard of it?"
"This, it really doesn't happen!"
"Well!"
It's understandable that he took his time when he sent out troops, but he shouldn't be so slow when he returned home. Ji Jie ordered the entire army to advance at full speed. No one complained about this, and everyone was in a hurry to return to Xianyang to receive the reward.
Ying Zheng was very happy when he received the battle report of the restoration of Dongjun. This was his first victory after ascending to the throne. How could he not be excited?
"Jun Zhaowen really lived up to expectations!" Ying Zheng said happily: "With a thousand troops, we defeated an enemy several times our size. I must reward him well!"
Lu Buwei smiled bitterly and thought that this guy must be very lucky. Not only did he escape the killers I sent, he also successfully solved the civil uprising!
Little did he know that the assassin he sent was smitten before he could take action, and by chance, he was killed by Ji Jie.
Killer, this is how the word should be interpreted, which is quite sad.
"I must personally welcome Zhaowen Jun's triumphant return!" Ying Zheng made a decision: "Report the movements of the army at any time so that I can be prepared!"
Lu Buwei was not willing to be defeated by Ji Jie like this. In the past few days, he had secretly interrogated several people from the Qin family and would never let them go until they got the benefits they wanted.
In Lu Buwei's view, the Qin family is a big fat piece of meat. When King Qinzhuang was alive, he knew that this piece of meat could not be eaten in his mouth no matter what. Since it had nothing to do with him, he chose to side with Qin Qing for bribery. People's hearts are different now. The new king has ascended the throne, and all military and political power is in his hands. How can we not take advantage of this opportunity to make a profit!
"Prime Minister, Ji Jie traveled one hundred and two miles in one day!" Sima Jing whispered behind Lu Buwei: "At this rate, he will return to Xianyang in four days!"
"That is to say, we still have four days!" Lu Buwei frowned slightly and said, "Follow me back home in a while, and we will discuss what we need to do next. We are determined not to let him come back alive!"
"As you command!"
There were many masters in the world, such as Cao Qiudao, the sword master of Qi State, who was extremely skilled in using a sword. However, Qi State was thousands of miles away from Qin State, and even if they hired masters like Cao Qiudao, they would not have time to take action.
Sima Jing recommended a Qin master to Lu Buwei. This man's name was Song Yang. He had been working in Yangquan Jun's mansion before. He was a depressed person. After the fall of Yangquan Jun, he was kicked out. Now he has trouble eating.
"Oh, with such a talent, why doesn't Mr. Yangquan reuse him?" Lu Buwei asked.
Sima Jing replied: "This Songyang relies on his martial arts skills and does not take the people around Yangquan Jun seriously. He has conflicts with a few people who can talk to Yangquan Jun. These people often appear in front of the master. It’s amazing if you can be reused if you say bad things about him!”
"Haha, it turns out that's the case, God is really helping me!" Lu Buwei said with a smile: "Go find Songyang and tell him that as long as you can kill Ji Jie, I will ensure that he enjoys endless glory and wealth!"
"yes!"
Not only Sima Jing was paying attention to Songyang, but the people of Qinqing were also paying attention to him. After he was expelled from Yangquan Jun's Mansion, they planned to take him under his command.
That afternoon, when the people sent by Qin Qing were about to talk to Song Yang, Sima Jing walked up to him first, called him to a deserted place, and offered him generous terms.
All this was seen by Qin Qing's people and they immediately reported it.
Qin Qing slapped the table angrily and gritted his teeth and said, "Well, Lu Buwei, here comes someone. Please notify Zhao Wenjun immediately and ask him to be more careful along the way. Send someone else to follow Songyang to find an opportunity to strike first." Did him!"
Several men in black fisted her and then filed out.
Song Yang was indeed a master. He easily got rid of the people sent by Qin Qing to follow him and disappeared.
Ji Jie received Qin Qing's letter and said with a smile to Mei Duo beside him: "The trees are really quiet but the wind is not stopping. We are going to be in trouble again! Since it is Prime Minister Lu who takes action, we have to take action." If the order continues, someone will do harm to me. If I die, all the rewards from this battle will be in vain, and all the officers and soldiers will be punished, and my children and grandchildren will never be able to serve as officials!"
"Why do you say that?" Mei Duo didn't understand his intention.
"Hehe!" Ji Jie said with a bad smile: "I want to turn Lu Buwei's conspiracy into a conspiracy known to the world, so that he can't hide! Although most of the people following us are old, weak, sick and disabled, no matter how bad they are, There are nearly a thousand, a thousand pairs of eyes staring at me, what kind of assassin can succeed?"
"I understand, you have found yourself a bunch of free bodyguards, right?" Mei Duo asked with a smile.
"Yes, that's it!" Ji Jie nodded.
As soon as the order was conveyed, all the soldiers were filled with indignation. After finally winning a battle, everyone had to rely on the rewards after returning. Who wants to watch the cooked duck fly into someone else's pot!
"Who is so outrageous as to want to take advantage of the general?"
"They must be jealous of their talents and cannot see others receiving rewards for their meritorious service!"
"We must not let their conspiracy succeed. We must protect the general's safety!"
"Yes, we won't sleep from tonight, but we want to see what kind of assassin can attack under our noses!"
"That's it, count me in!"
"Count me in too!"
Ji Jie's goal has been achieved, but this isn't the end yet. Tomorrow he will reveal some shocking information. Lu Buwei, wait and see!
