Chapter 23 The only thing I can do is ask the king to award him a reward, so as to keep the army in good spirits.
"Ask for credit from your Majesty!"
Yang Duanhe's eyes were bright: "Now our army has conquered Wu'an, and the battle to destroy Zhao has completely taken a turn. The advantage lies with me."
"The dead soldier battalion was crippled, and the infantry casualties reached 30,000. Although it will not affect anything, this is the occasion of a great victory, and the joy of victory will cover everything."
"However, when the joy of victory fades away, the morale of the army will definitely be low. We cannot change this. We can only ask the king for a reward to rectify the morale of the army."
"Report the truth to the king about the situation among the generals and let the king make a decision."
"promise."
Nodding, Xin Sheng did not refute. The warriors of the Great Qin Dynasty fought bravely to kill the enemy. The reason why they kept going forward was because they would be rewarded if they killed the enemy and made meritorious service.
In today's army, only rewards and great victories can suppress the morale in the army that may be low due to the death of soldiers in battle.
Conquering Wu'an is only the first stop.
Next, whether we go south to encircle Handan or go north to attack Jingxing Pass, we will need a large army to fight to the death.
Before that, the problem of morale in the army must be solved, which is the key to a decisive victory for the army.
Xin Sheng left, and Yang Duanhe kept his head down and continued to deal with military affairs. He knew in his heart that the civil servants in the army lacked experience in handling big cities.
Nowadays, everything in Wu'an can only be controlled by the military. With the great reputation of the Qin warriors, they suppress it hard and wait for the officials sent by the court to take over.
Before that, he needed to ensure the stability of Wu'an so that chaos would not occur, which would affect Da Qin's acceptance of Wu'an.
Although Yang Duanhe is a new general, he has also conquered several times and has seen how veteran generals deal with captured cities.
He knew that this was the most critical and dangerous time.
The news that Wu'an City was destroyed spread like wildfire. After the news was sent out, Yang Duanhe took no care of it, neither concealing it nor adding fuel to the flames.
Wu'an is the closest to Handan, followed by Jingxing Pass, and Xianyang is the farthest. Even though the special envoy to Xianyang used the Golden Order Arrow, Handan still received the news of Wu'an's city defeat immediately.
Outside Handan City, the shogunate of the Qin Army.
"General, Yang Duan from Wu'an and the general sent a special envoy to arrive, and all the tokens will be matched."
The commander-in-chief of the Chinese army came in a hurry, breaking the silence in the shogunate. These days, Huan Jue felt a little dizzy.
Although he led soldiers from Da Qin's old camp outside the Pass, which were not as elite as the new army from Lantian Camp, these soldiers were all brave men who had experienced hundreds of battles.
He has been attacking Handan for more than half a month, but has not achieved any results. Ever since he led the army to attack Anyang and Ye, the gateways of Handan, it has been difficult to advance.
Handan, guarded by Lian Po, was like a turtle shell.
"Bring the people in!" Huan Ye raised his head and ordered, continuing to study the map.
The State of Zhao is blessed by nature.
Even though the government was absurd, the king was foolish and treacherous, there were many famous generals, including not only Li Mu who could compete with or even surpass Wang Jian, but also the veteran general Lian Po.
"Special Envoy Liu has met General Huanjue!" Liu walked into the shogunate, saluted Huanjue, and then handed the copper pipe to Huanjue: "This is the letter from General Yang Duanhe to the general."
Sima of the Chinese army took the copper pipe, looked at it and handed it to Huan Jue: "General, the mud seal is intact. It belongs to Yang Duan and General."
After taking the copper pipe, Huan Jue waved his hand: "The special envoy has worked hard all the way. Please take the special envoy down to rest."
"promise."
Sima of the Chinese army left with Liu. Yang Duanhe took a look at the mud seal. Seeing that it was intact and able to compare, he unscrewed the copper pipe.
He took out the silk book from it and took a look at it. Huanjue was happy at first, and then he became anxious. Wu'an city was defeated, which meant that the Qin army had a complete advantage.
At this moment, Huanjue felt relieved.
"Li Xin, immediately send a special envoy to reply to Yang Duanhe. I will cooperate at any time. Everything will be based on the general's orders."
"We can persevere!"
As the deputy general, Li Xin took the silk book handed over by Huan Jue and took a look at it. He couldn't help but feel overjoyed and nodded quickly, saying: "No."
Li Xin is gone.
Huan Jue couldn't help but nodded. He knew in his heart that he was already old, and this battle was already the favor shown to him by the King of Qin.
After the war to destroy Zhao is over, he will retreat to the second line. The future will be dominated by young people.
He knew that the reason why he was the commander this time was because Li Xin was too young and vigorous, and too sharp-edged. King Qin intended to suppress Li Xin's sharpness.
This time to destroy Zhao, King Qin used all new generals, and he was the only veteran general, which illustrates the problem.
…
When the Jin Ling Jian envoys entered Xianyang, Xianyang immediately became a sensation. Everyone in the Qin Dynasty knew that every time the Jin Ling Jian envoys arrived, something big happened.
For a time, the entire Xianyang City turned its attention to Xianyang Palace, especially Zhangtai Palace. The courtiers of the Qin Dynasty packed up their clothes and waited for the summons of Qin Wangzheng.
They all know that once something big happens, King Qin's political meeting will summon them as soon as possible.
"Your Majesty, the Jinling Arrow envoy has entered Xianyang. He has arrived outside Xianyang Palace and is heading towards Zhangtai Palace." Zhao Gao looked solemn and reported to the King of Qin. His eyes were full of awe.
"The messenger of the Golden Order Arrow?" Qin Wangzheng was stunned for a moment, and then he put down the bamboo slips in his hand, his eyes as calm as water, but his thoughts were complicated.
In Da Qin, envoys of the Golden Order Arrow had special privileges. Not only were they allowed to pass by counties and counties along the way, but they also had to meet various conditions.
Merchants and nobles make way for him, and ordinary people avoid him.
At the same time, the messenger of the Golden Order Arrow has the privilege of entering the palace to meet the king, and the courtiers cannot stop him. Of course, if the king wants to stop him, the messenger of the Golden Order Arrow will have to stop.
"I ordered you to go down, no one can stop you, and prepare a small banquet at the same time."
"promise."
Nodding, Zhao Gao walked out of Zhangtai Palace. Facing this person, he was cautious and cautious.
"My lord, Qin Jiu, the envoy of the Golden Ling Arrow, pays homage to the king. The king will live for ten thousand years, and the Qin Dynasty will last ten thousand years——!" Qin Jiu, the envoy of the Golden Ling Arrow, entered the Zhangtai Palace and saluted King Qin.
The messenger of the Golden Ling Arrow came from the Black Ice Platform and was a die-hard loyalist of Qin Wangzheng and a dead soldier.
"No need to be polite, get up." After Wang's case, Ying Zheng looked calm.
"promise."
Qin Jiu stood up and faced Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, Yang Duan and General led their troops to attack Wu'an, and sent a special letter to your Majesty, asking for Your Majesty's decision."
After saying that, Qin Jiu respectfully put the copper tube he brought on the desk on one side. Zhao Gao on the side picked up the copper tube and observed it carefully: "Your Majesty, if the arrows of the Golden Order are right, so will the people."
"The mud seal on the copper pipe is intact. It is indeed from Yang Duanhe General, and it can also match the mud seal left on the king's side."
"Zhao Gao, take Qin Jiu down." Ying Zheng ordered, and then looked at Qin Jiu: "I have prepared a small banquet for you, you go down and rest first."
"Thank you so much, Your Majesty."
After the two left Zhangtai Palace, Ying Zheng unscrewed the copper pipe. Just now, Qin Jiu had already told Yang Duan that he would conquer Wu'an. Since it was a good thing, he didn't worry anymore.
