In one day, at the top of Shanyang City, the flag of Wei was replaced by the flag of Qin.
Together with many soldiers and civilians in the city, they also completed the transition from Wei people to Qin people on this day.
Zhao Tuo did not neglect Wei Jiu because of his surrender.
Accepting surrender is also a technical job.
In front of many Wei soldiers and common people in the city, if he acted arrogantly and acted like a victor, he would probably instantly lose the hearts of the Wei people here.
Therefore, after Zhao Tuo got out of the car, he comforted Wei Jiu with gentle words and held Wei Jiu's hands.
"Young master can think of the common people in the city, dedicate the city in obedience to the sky, and prevent the land of Shanyang from turning into a battlefield, and save the lives of countless people. This is truly a great act of benevolence and righteousness."
Wei Jiu smiled bitterly and said: "How dare you talk about benevolence and righteousness when you are a defeated general."
Zhao Tuo smiled and said: "The defeat of the young master was not due to manpower, but also due to the timing of the day."
These few words from Zhao Tuo gave Wei Jiu enough face and immediately made him feel at ease.
When Wei Jiu saw the Qin army commander when he was young, he was shocked and feared that the other party would be domineering and bully him. Now when he saw Zhao Tuo's gentle expression and kind words, his heart immediately relaxed and he also praised: "
The military commander is like a god, and the soldiers under his command are strong and brave. He is also the strongest army in the world. Wei Jiu was defeated by the military commander, and it is not unjust."
Many Wei people in the rear were relieved when they saw that the young Qin general and his son were talking harmoniously, and no bullying occurred as they imagined. It seemed that the Qin army was not as brutal and brutal as the rumors said.
Hou Shu and the few loyal Wei people around him looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
"If the Marquis of Qin dares to bully my young master, I, Hou Shu, will risk my life not to do it, and I will let his blood splatter on the spot. Now that we treat each other with courtesy, then we can rest assured."
Under such circumstances, Zhao Tuo led his army into the city and peacefully took over the Shanyang land of Wei.
The west and south directions of Shanyang have fallen into the hands of the Qin army, to the north is Julu Ze, and to the east are the remaining small towns of the Wei State, close to the land of Qi and Chu. There are not many soldiers in these cities, so they do not pose much of a threat.
, Zhao Tuo asked his subordinate Dai Yu to lead 500 people and 500 soldiers sent by Zhao Guang to capture those cities.
"Marquis, why didn't you let me attack the city and capture the territory instead of letting Dai Yu, the surrendered general, go?" Black Butt was angrily dissatisfied.
Zhao Tuo glanced at him and said: "You broke out to defeat the enemy before and chased the enemy to the north. You have already made meritorious service, which is enough for you to be promoted. These cities are of no use to you, let alone Wei Jiu's order to add them."
Our army is approaching the city, and most of these cities will surrender without a fight. Since there is no big battle, why send a general like you?"
Hearing this, Black Butt laughed loudly and said: "If that's the case, then I won't argue with Dai Yu. He's just a top-level person. Even if he gets promoted to another level, he's nothing more than a hairpin. He's far behind Nai Gong."
Already."
Zhao Tuo was too lazy to deal with the idiot Black Butt. Now that the Wei Dynasty had just come down, he still had many things to do. In addition to sending people to report the military situation to Wang Ben, he also had to appease the morale of the army and the people, and reconcile the Qin soldiers and the Wei people.
The relationship between.
At this time, the benefit of Zhao Tuo's kindness to Wei Jiu became apparent. The Wei people in Shanyang City saw the Qin army's formidable strength, had no intention of resisting, and seemed to be very cooperative with the Qin people's management.
"Peng Zhong, you are right. When Shanyang was the state of Wei, we went to Juye Zeli to fish. When the Qin army came, we still went to Juye Zeli to fish. It seems that nothing has changed."
A group of young people, carrying their luggage and equipment, left Shanyang City and were walking on the road to Daze in the north, chatting about the recent situation as they walked.
Peng Yue was walking on the roadside and watched several carriages coming from the north. He ignored the words of those young people and was thinking.
To the north of Shanyang is the endless Juye Ze, surrounded by only a few small villages. Most of the people there are familiar to him. This convoy from the other side looks very strange. It must be people who have moved from other Wei cities.
The convoy passed by these people, or overheard their conversation, and one of the curtained carriages stopped. Seeing this, several carriages behind them also stopped one after another.
"You brave men, what you just said, did you say that Shanyang has been captured by the Qin army?"
Peng Yue looked up and saw that the person asking the question was the driver of the carriage. The man was a man dressed as a Confucian scholar. He was about thirty years old. His face was calm and he looked quite elegant.
Several fishermen were startled, and they all bowed their hands and said, "Gentleman, Shanyang has now returned to Qin. Even our Lord Ningling surrendered to the Qin army."
"Yes, yes. Gentleman, if you want to go to Shanyang, you don't have to be afraid. The military officers of the Qin State are not bad. After entering the city, they did not rob our property or kill people indiscriminately. Life is almost the same as before."
The Confucian scholar's face was as dark as water, and he nodded and said: "Thank you so many brave men for telling me."
After saying that, he drove straight away and the convoy set off again.
Just before the motorcade left, Peng Yue passed by the car and happened to see the curtain on the side of the car being lifted up, and a pretty woman was looking out from inside.
The woman has beautiful eyebrows and fair complexion. Although she looks about thirty years old, she is quite charming.
The two happened to look at each other, and the woman suddenly turned red with embarrassment, put down the curtain, and hid in the car.
But this time, Peng Yue also saw clearly that in addition to the woman in the carriage, there was also a child of six or seven years old, who turned out to be a mother and son.
Peng Yue shook his head and drove the woman's appearance out of his mind.
Women are not what he wants.
I remembered the scene two days ago when Lord Ningling knelt in front of the city gate, kowtowing to the young Qin general and begging for surrender.
For some reason, Peng Yue, who is from Wei, not only did not feel sad when he saw that scene, but instead felt his blood boiling.
Peng Yue knew that the ambition he had always hidden deep in his heart was ignited by this scene.
This is what a man should be like!
It is so majestic to lead a large army to conquer the world, destroy cities and countries, and make all the noble princes and princes kneel at your feet!
"If we wait and see for a while, if the Qin army is worthy of serving, I, Peng Yue, should be like the Qin army commander and make meritorious deeds on the battlefield!"

Peng Yue's eyes were shining. He had heard that the middle and senior officers of the Qin Army were all common people in Guizhou who had risen from the lowest level.
If those people can do it, why can’t he, Peng Yue?
"Lord Ningling actually surrendered to the people of Qin!"
Chen Yu gritted his teeth. He did not expect that the Qin army captured the city so quickly. When he was looking for Zhang Er's wife and children, they captured the eastern border of Wei in a matter of seconds. The fall of Wei happened in the blink of an eye.
He looked back at the car, and his voice filtered through the curtains.
"Sister-in-law, since Shanyang has fallen into the hands of the Qin army, we will not enter Shanyang for supplies and go directly to the east. When we reach the border, my sister-in-law can take Ao'er to take refuge in Qi, accompanied by Huang Gong and several warriors.
It's definitely okay. I'm sorry that Chen Yu can't come with us."
Huang's plaintive voice came: "Does Mr. Chen want to go to Chu State?"
Chen Yu nodded heavily and said: "Brother Zhang and I were close friends, and he died at the hands of the Qin people. I, Chen Yu, must fight to the death with the Qin people! I am entering Chu now to borrow the power of the Chu people.
, Revenge for Brother Zhang!”
Chen Yu glanced in the direction of Shanyang with hatred, then looked to the southeast expectantly.
From there, he can enter the Fangyu land of Chu State, and then walk through Fengfei, all the way to the core of Chu State.
"General Wang's military order is here!"
About seven or eight days after occupying Shanyang City, Wang Ben's military order from Daliang Military Camp also reached Zhao Tuo.
Wang Ben first commended Zhao Tuo for his military prowess, and even more highly praised him for capturing Ningling Jun, the prince of Wei who had been fleeing. He also said that he would personally express his merits to the King of Qin for Zhao Tuo.
Then comes the specific arrangements.
"Daliang City is about to collapse."
Zhao Tuo looked at the military order in his hand and sighed.
Wang Ben told him that Daliang was about to fall, and ordered him to escort the surrendered Lord Ningling and the mid-level and senior generals of the Wei army to the military camp. As for the ordinary soldiers who surrendered, Zhao Tuo would give them a lecture and then release them.
Zhao Tuo guessed that it might have something to do with military supplies. The Qin army had fought several battles recently, and the number of captured Wei soldiers was quite large. If they were to suppress them all and use them as slaves, a lot of food would be consumed in vain.
Wang Ben must use military rations sparingly, because the battle to defeat Wei was just an appetizer.
After receiving the military order, Zhao Tuo left 500 men to guard Shanyang, and then led the rest of the army to escort Wei Jiu and the middle and senior generals of the Wei army on the road.
However, he did not go straight west to Daliang. Instead, he led his army south to Shanfu on the grounds that he had just captured Shanfu and was afraid of instability in the city.
Because Zhao Tuo remembered who the important person who lived in Shanfu was in his memory of Mohu.
"Lu Pheasant!"
"This is Liu Bang's wife. Since we are here, why should we go and see this powerful Empress Gao!"
