In the summer in Yandi, although the sun shines brightly, the wind that blows from time to time still makes the Qin people from Guanzhong feel uncomfortable.
"Jicheng has been captured, and the Prince of Yan who plotted the assassination has also been captured. It's time for us to return home, right?"
"Yes, I really want to go back. I miss my newly married Xiaojun. The last time I held her was the last time. I missed her so much."
"I have been promoted to a first-class title, and I don't know if my family will be allocated a hundred acres of land. I have a grudge against my family, so don't give Naigong a hundred acres of rotten land."
The soldiers in the camp were talking to each other, sometimes looking to the west in a depressed mood.
The birds in the pond are nostalgic for the old forest, and the fish in the pond are thinking about the old abyss.
Just as Wang Jian said when he taught Li Xin, the Qin army at this time was already showing signs of fatigue.
After the war, the excitement was gone, and the excitement brought by the rewards gradually faded away.
There was a negative mood everywhere in the camp, and the soldiers were homesick.
Most of this Qin army were veterans who had been in the army when Zhao was destroyed, except for Zhao Tuo, who was a new soldier who later supported him.
They had already enlisted in the army before the destruction of Zhao, and they thought they could go home after destroying Zhao. Unexpectedly, the general's troops were stationed in Yishui, and then the prince of Yan sent assassins to assassinate them, triggering the war against Yan.
Serving as a soldier and fighting in wars, year after year.
In the past, they could still fight hard under the revenge caused by the assassins and the rewards of military merit. Now that the enemy has been destroyed and the merits have been obtained, most of them have lost their fighting spirit and all they want is to go home.
The same is true for everyone under Zhao Tuo's account.
As Juyong Fortress was taken over by the follow-up troops, Huan Zhao's troops were also recalled to Jicheng Camp.
Old subordinates such as Xiaobai, Xiqigu, and You returned to Zhao Tuo's command according to their original establishment.
"Hundred Generals. No, I feel that being called Doctor Zhao is more powerful. This is the title of a doctor. If you return to your hometown, you can at least be a local miser." Xiaobai looked at Zhao Tuo with a crown on his head with envy.
He, Xiqigu and others followed Huan Zhao as infantrymen to attack Juyong fortress. They were lucky enough that after the war, they were each assigned a head, and both were promoted to the title of Shangzao.
Both Xiqigu and Xiaobai were extremely happy. Hei Butt had fought in Gu Bo Township before and was promoted to the top. In front of them, it could be said that his nostrils were turned upward and his buttocks were looking at people.
The two of them had also been promoted to the upper echelon due to their military merit this time. They were thinking of showing off to the black butt after the war, but they didn't expect that when they met again, the other party was already wearing a crown.
"I don't want to change my black buttocks. You two little ones should be more respectful in front of Nai Gong and don't be presumptuous."
Hei Butt pointed at the trapezoidal plate crown on his head with a proud face, which made Xiao Bai and Xiqigu both angry and envious.
As expected, they still had to follow the young man to achieve quick success. The two of them kept this matter in mind silently. They made up their mind that if there is another chance in the future, they must follow Zhao Tuo's steps closely.
"Doctor..."
Listening to everyone's praise, Zhao Tuo also stretched out his hand to straighten the long single-board crown on his head.
According to the core concept of the military merit system, each level up must be reflected on the clothes, crown, and scarf.
Zhao Tuo, who holds the title of doctor, wears a long single-plate crown on his head that is slightly longer than the trapezoidal crown. It is a few centimeters longer and more conspicuous.
Of course, Zhao Tuo estimated that he would not be able to wear this long single-piece crown for long.

As long as the army commander surrenders the prisoners to Xianyang, he will be rewarded for his meritorious service. If nothing else, he will be promoted to another rank, which is a sure thing.
By that time, he will be wearing a double-plate long crown on his head, which will be longer and thicker.
Also, the side over there should have also received the land awarded, right?
The two of them combined a total of 700 acres of land. I wonder if he will be exhausted to death?
When I think of this,
Zhao Tuo had a strong desire to return to Xianyang.
"It's time to take charge of the army. The general called back all the subordinates of the surrounding generals during this period, and only assigned General Xin Sheng's department to be responsible for capturing and garrisoning the city of Yan. It seems that he wanted General Xin to stay
Yandi."
While Zhao Tuo was thinking about it, he heard that soldiers had reported that General Li had summoned him.
Not daring to delay, Zhao Tuo straightened his clothes and walked out.
When he stepped into Li Xin's tent, the generals had already dispersed. Only Li Xin was sitting in the tent, looking at a silk book filled with words in his hand, with a smile on his face and no longer feeling depressed as before.
.
"See General."
Zhao Tuo bowed his hands.
Li Xin smiled and said, "Don't be too polite. Do you know what this thing is?"
Zhao Tuo thought for a moment, thought of the beaming expression on Li Xin's face, and boldly guessed: "Could he be from Xianyang?"
"Hahaha, you are really smart."
"Today the general has received the military order, and the army is about to return to Xianyang. This edict is that the king personally ordered our troops to escort the princes and ministers of Yan State captured in this battle to Xianyang as prisoners!"
Speaking of this, Li Xin became very energetic.
Although he was eager to wipe out the whole country, capture Zhao Jia, and perform great feats again. But escorting the captives back to Xianyang and displaying his achievements in front of the civil and military officials of the court and the people of the city, this kind of grand event naturally made Li Xin ecstatic.
.
This is the king's personal roll call. No one can compare to this honor.
"Congratulations General!"
Zhao Tuo was also extremely happy.
Finally, I can go back.
The Qin State values practicality, so the Qin Army's operational efficiency is naturally very high.
On the day he received the military order, Wang Jian began to take charge of the division and deal with the remaining matters in Yandi.
Jicheng has just been conquered, and the five counties of Yan have not yet been captured, so naturally the entire army cannot be mobilized.
According to the usual rules, Li Xin's new soldiers should be responsible for garrisoning Yan, and the rest of the old soldiers who had participated in the attack on Zhao returned to their hometowns and rotated with each other.
But it is a pity that Li Xin's troops have made great achievements this time, and the king personally named his troops to return to the country and offer them as prisoners. This would only wrong the others.
Among the generals under Wang Jian, Xin Sheng was the most stable. Although his talents were limited, he had the essence of Wang Jian and was very practical in his work.
Therefore, Xin Sheng was left as the commander-in-chief of Yan, leading 30,000 men to garrison Jicheng.
On the one hand, he was prepared for the rebellion of the Yan people and coveted Zhao Jia from the western Dai region.
On the other hand, it is necessary to send troops outward to capture the entire Yan region step by step.
However, this matter is not difficult. The aristocracy of Yan Kingdom has been wiped out, and the few remaining small fish cannot make any big waves. With Xin Sheng's ability, it is only a matter of time to occupy those counties.
As for Yan Wangxi who fled to Liaodong, Wang Jian was worried about the obstruction of Daze and the fact that Youbeiping, Liaoxi and other counties were not all occupied, making it difficult to pursue him eastward, so he gave up the pursuit for the time being.

【Qin General】【】
According to Wang Jian's idea, it is better to occupy all the counties and counties east of Liaoze first, and after thoroughly digesting them, while ensuring the supply of grain routes, he can capture Liaodong in one fell swoop, so that there will be no mistakes.
After everything was arranged, the army broke out of camp and returned to the court.
…
North of Daze in Yandi, there is a small town with a population of less than a hundred households.
King Yan was lying on a hard old wooden couch.
His eyes were dull, looking at the dilapidated roof.
Although he escaped from the Qin army's pursuit, he also lost everything.
An elite army, ministers and nobles supporting him, and dozens of carts of goods and treasures.
And, his favorite son.
The only thing he still owns is probably the broken carriage outside and the coachman who is still loyal to him.
"In such a situation, what can I do if I go to Liaodong?"
"It's gone, there's nothing left."
"The Kingdom of Yan is dead."
He murmured, and with trembling hands took out a piece of dirty silk from his arms.
Opening the silk, there were three black pill-shaped objects inside.
This is a gift from his beloved alchemist. As long as he eats it, he can escape from the pain in front of him and feel the happiness of communicating with the fairy spirits.
He opened his mouth and swallowed one, mixing it with his saliva.
After a while, a glow appeared in front of his eyes.
In the bright light, the figure of a woman was looming.
"Goddess... Goddess, help the orphans to restore their country!"
King Yan shouted happily.
The woman smiled at him.
The sound of horse hooves came from behind her.
Countless cavalry galloped over, and their battle roars were majestic and majestic.
"Heavenly weapons, these are the heavenly weapons given to me by the goddess!"
King Yan shouted happily.
Outside the house, the terrified voices of the Yan people could be heard.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
The driver rushed into the house with a worried look on his face.
