It is destined to be a restless day for all Qin people in Xianyang.
Tens of thousands of Qin people gathered outside Xianyang City. They were shoulder to shoulder, looking forward to the east in anticipation.
Compared with the previous scenes when the king of Chu, his ministers, the beauties of the palace of Chu, and the important treasures of the state of Chu entered the Qin Dynasty, it was no less impressive, and even more exciting.
"The traitor is coming, I will spit on his body later!"
A gray-haired old Qin man gritted his teeth, and the words he spoke were filled with hatred.
"Of course, this thief is going to kill my brother. If it weren't possible, Nai Gong would really like to pee on the traitor's head to relieve the hatred in my heart!"
A strong man roared filial piety, waved his fists, and spat out his mouth.
On the other side, the old woman with a wooden stick said sadly: "My son was killed by a traitor in Chu Di. The old woman can't wait to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin!"
The Qin people in Guanzhong will never forget it.
Just two years ago, they were standing in the same place, waiting for the Qin general to return from Chu.
It's just that at that time, there was no laughter, no cheers and joy outside Xianyang City, but only countless people crying.
Wei Liao, Li Si and other important military and state ministers, together with hundreds of officials and ministers, dressed in mourning clothes, wailed and cried outside the city of Xianyang together with the Qin people like them.
That year, most of the tens of thousands of Guanzhong disciples who followed Li Xin out of the customs were lost in Chu.
Countless Qin people lost their sons and husbands, and countless children cried for their fathers, but received no response.
Not only Guanzhong, but the entire Qin State fell into extreme depression and pain at that moment.
In a great defeat that had not been seen in decades, most of the 200,000 Qin troops were killed in Chu. It was a national tragedy.
The biggest reason for all of this, apart from Li Xin's decision-making mistakes on the battlefield, was the betrayal of Changping Lord Xiong Qi.
traitor!
Under the deliberate guidance of the Qin government, all Qin people focused their hatred on the traitor Xiong Qi.
This man grew up on the yellow land of Guanzhong and drank the water of the Weihe River. He was favored by the King of Qin and assumed the important task of serving as the Prime Minister of the country. However, at the critical moment when Qin State destroyed Chu, he chose to betray the country that raised him and let him
Countless Qin people died in foreign lands. How could the Qin people accept such a result?
Compared with the Chu people's hope that Xiong Qi would live and lead an army to regain the Chu land.
All the Qin people just want Xiong Qi to die!
When the news of the demise of the Chu Kingdom reached Xianyang a few months ago, the people of Qin were very excited. When the king of Chu and his ministers were escorted into Xianyang, the people of Qin were very happy, but in the final analysis, the people of Qin were not truly satisfied.
Because that traitor, that Qin people’s enemy, is still alive.
Until the traitor dies, the hatred will not stop!
Now, the traitor is finally dead.
Moreover, he was captured and killed by General Zhao Tuo, who defeated the Chu army in a last-ditch battle when the Qin people were at a low point and brought hope and light to Qin.
"I heard that General Zhao defeated the traitor's army of 20,000 in the battle of Huaiyin. He then chased the traitor all the way to Jiangdong. The traitor ran to Yue, but General Zhao still pursued him until he killed him in Yue.
Finally, the hatred for us has been restored."
"Hey, I heard that all the lands that General Zhao passed along the way were conquered by our Qin State. The King of Yue who took in the rebels has offered his land to surrender. The land of Yue and the land of Wu were established as Kuaiji County by the king.
!”
"So, the entire Kuaiji County was captured by General Zhao. General Zhao opened up the territory for our Qin State. He is really a good general of our Qin State!"
While all the Qin people were talking and sighing, someone pointed into the distance and shouted excitedly: "The general is back! General Zhao is back!"
In an instant, countless people cheered and cheered outside Xianyang City, and the atmosphere reached its peak.
"The king is victorious!"
"The general is victorious!"
"General Zhao is victorious!"
…
Amid the cheers, an army that had traveled thousands of miles from the land of Chu and Yue finally returned.
On the outskirts of Xianyang, black flags were flying.
Five thousand warriors who have been tempered on the battlefield walked towards Xianyang City with neat steps and heads held high, welcoming the glory that belongs to them.
At the front of the team is a gorgeous chariot.
On the chariot, General Wang Jian was wearing an exquisite armor, with bright feathers standing high on both sides of the crest on his head.
He supported Che Shi, his eyes swept across the faces of the countless fanatical Qin people, turned to Zhao Tuo who was walking in the same car and smiled: "Did you hear that these people mentioned your voice, Zhao Tuo, compared to the mention of Zhao Tuo?"
It's much louder when I'm Wang Jian."
"The general is joking. If there is no general to strategize and decide on the strategy for this attack on Chu, how can we accomplish the great feat of destroying the country? The Qin people are only talking about it because of Xiong Qi's incident."
Zhao Tuo smiled and complimented.
This time Wang Jian returned to Xianyang to show off his victory, and in the name of Zhao Tuo's great achievements, he invited him to ride in the car. Zhao Tuo couldn't resist, so he was pulled into the car by Wang Jian.
Now that he heard that these Qin people were talking louder to him than Wang Jian, Zhao Tuo was suspected of overshadowing the guest and usurping the host, so he quickly opened his mouth to explain.
"Really? Maybe it's because you, Zhao Tuo, defeated the Chu State Ling Yin head-on on the battlefield and forced Xiang Yan to be killed. It's a beautiful story for a young hero to defeat a veteran on the battlefield. The world loves young generals like you the most.
.”
Wang Jian spoke and looked at Zhao Tuo resentfully.
Xiang Yan, whom Wang Jian regarded as his last opponent, did not expect to be cut off by a junior, which made him feel quite regretful.
Zhao Tuo looked embarrassed.
He didn't expect that Xiang Yan was so strong. He originally just wanted to fight and test himself, but he didn't expect that the other party failed in the first battle and committed suicide by wiping his neck.
Seeing that Zhao Tuo was confused by his words.
Wang Jian laughed: "It doesn't matter if Xiang Yan is defeated by you. In this way, you can show your ability as a general, and you will be able to truly stand alone in the future. I, the general of the Qin State, have a successor, and I can go home and enjoy my blessings with peace of mind."
.”
Looking at the excited-looking crowd in front, they were shouting excitedly.
Loneliness flashed in Wang Jian's eyes.
After the Chu Kingdom was destroyed, Wang Jian was about to be promoted to the title of Marquis of Che. For a general, this was a supreme honor, but it also meant that he would leave the battlefield forever.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Wang Jian, his life as a Qin general is about to come to an end.
In the future, he will be an idle monarch in Pinyang Manor, enjoying retirement and happiness.
"But this is fine."
"Qin destroyed five kingdoms, and my king's family alone destroyed four of them."
A smile broke out on Wang Jian's face again. He looked at Zhao Tuo aside, with a hint of teasing in his eyes.
"There are still people from Qi in the six kingdoms of Shandong. It will be a matter of time before the king destroys Qi. I should warn my son not to compete for the honor of destroying Qi."
"Since ancient times, how can one father and son destroy fifty thousand chariots?"
"Let's leave it to these young people."
"The younger generation will make more meritorious deeds, and in the future he will be able to experience the fearful feeling I have, hehe."
At this time, as the Xianjie Qin army arrived on the outskirts of the city, the right prime minister Wei Zhuang, who had been waiting outside the city, came up with his ministers and officials to greet him.
Wang Jian didn't care much, so he took Zhao Tuo out of the car and greeted the officials and ministers who were waiting in the suburbs.
"The general is truly the most famous general in the world. This victory over Chu is a great achievement that is astonishing to the world. We all admire him immensely."
All the ministers came forward to congratulate him, and they were all filled with envy and admiration.
"Hahaha, this battle is not just my contribution. For example, Zhao Tuo defeated the Qi army, defeated Xiang Yan, and captured and killed the rebels. Such achievements are not bad."
Wang Jian smiled and pulled Zhao Tuo over behind him.
"Although General Zhao is young, he already has the talent of a general. The general has someone to succeed him."
The Prime Minister on the right, Wei Zhuang, praised Zhao Tuo, but turned his eyes to Wang Jian. The two looked at each other and both smiled slightly. The reason was obvious to each other.
"We also admire General Zhao's achievements very much."
"Capturing and killing the traitors and avenging our Qin country, General Zhao's contribution is only inferior to that of the superior general!"
All the ministers praised each other.
Zhao Tuo quickly returned the gift with his hands.
At this moment, not only the ministers and officials greeted him, but the Qin people who were isolated on both sides by the lieutenant's army not far away also cheered.
"General Zhao!"
"Excellent, General Zhao!"
…
Amidst the bursts of shouting, there were many women standing in the crowd holding their young sons, pointing at the young general not far away who was wearing a crown and armor.
"Did you see that, that is General Zhao who avenged your father and captured the traitor? I really hope that when you grow up and join the army, you can serve under General Zhao!"
Amidst countless praises, the entire Qin army, from generals at all levels to ordinary soldiers, thousands of people were full of joy, and they felt the great honor.
Everyone's eyes are filled with endless expectations. Because it won't be long before they show victory, and the king will give out rewards. Everyone can get gold, be rewarded, and be promoted to noble officials. How wonderful and joyful it is.
In the team, there was only one person whose face was filled with sorrow and whose eyes were full of deathly gray.
"Everyone is rewarded, but only me, Li Youwu?"
"What else can I do to see my father?"
Welcomed by the officials and officials, the Qin army returning from the battlefield walked through the crowd and began to enter Xianyang City.
At the same time, in addition to cheering for the king, the general and general Zhao.
There were also many Qin people who cursed the traitor Xiong Qi's name and spat at the vehicle carrying coffins in the Qin army, uttering curse words.
The cheers and curses mingled with each other outside Xianyang City, which gave people a strange feeling in their ears.
On the north bank of the Wei River, on the wall of the tall Qin Palace.
Qin Wangzheng stood with his hands behind his back, standing by the wall, looking at the team in the distance that had just entered Xianyang City.
Behind him, Young Master Fusu, dressed in red and black Qin clothes, was also looking into the distance.
"Who is coming back?"
Qin Wangzheng suddenly spoke.
Fusu was startled and quickly replied: "My father, the king, is a meritorious soldier of our Qin State."
"anything else?"
Qin Wangzheng turned around and his majestic eyes fell on Fusu's face.
