"Your Majesty, rewarding meritorious soldiers will help stabilize the morale of the army. Next, it will be a critical time to destroy Zhao. We must ensure that our combat power reaches its peak."
Li Si also spoke at this moment, towards Ying Zheng, and said: "Since Yang Duan and General have sent a partial list of those who have made military exploits, we might as well reward those below the rank of captain of a thousand."
"If you accumulate more than a thousand captains, you will wait until after the Zhao is destroyed and the troops return to the court to reward them. As long as the king orders the army, it will definitely stabilize the morale of the army."
Li Si saw the word "Zhao Shu" in the list, which broke his calm mood. He didn't expect that it was just a casual step, but it actually happened.
He is proficient in Qin law, so he naturally knows that, relying on Zhao Shu's achievements, plus the reduction of dead soldiers in the camp, at least he will be awarded a title.
Although Duke is the most common and the first level of the 20th level military merit title, this is a rare beginning for Zhao Shu.
"good."
At this moment, Ying Zheng also nodded. What Li Si and others said was more in line with his wishes. Ying Zheng knew that since Yang Duanhe requested a reward, the situation must be more critical.
With such a large number of casualties, when the atmosphere of victory dissipates, they will inevitably suffer the backlash of death.
"The Tingwei Mansion and the Guowei Mansion jointly formulate a list of awards and then submit it to me. After I read it, I will issue it to Wu'an."
"promise."
Ying Zheng's eyes fell on Feng Quji and Wang Wan, and his tone was solemn: "The government office has drawn up the civil servants who will go to Wu'an and submitted them to me together."
"At the same time, the government offices have prepared civil servants in advance and received civil servants from major counties and counties in Zhao State."
Having said this, Ying Zheng turned to Ying Xi who was standing aside: "Weiyang Lord, you immediately unite with the masters and the government to recruit students from all over the Qin Dynasty."
"Established the Great Qin Literary Academy with Xianyang, where the imperial officials would teach the art of governing the country and prepare for the next war."
"At the same time, we select capable people from the descendants of the fallen soldiers, the descendants of the great Qin nobles, the old clans of the Great Qin, and the aristocratic families for short-term training."
"promise."
Li Si and others nodded in agreement. For a moment, they also realized that the gap in Da Qin's civil servants was quite big. Even after all these years, Da Qin's government and people were consciously cultivating them, and they were still nervous.
"At the same time, release goodwill to all the scholars. If they serve in the Qin Dynasty and are recognized by the few, they can directly respect the officials without going through assessment."
"promise."
The literary affairs of the Qin Dynasty were somewhat deserted, and Ying Zheng naturally saw this, but cultivating literati was not easy.
It takes a long time for these literati to grow into great talents in governing the country. Ying Zheng had tried it before, but the effect was unsatisfactory.
…
Just when Ying Zheng and others reacted, the scouts had already arrived at the Qin Army shogunate at Jingxing Pass.
"General, Wu'an sent a special envoy to Yang Duan and General. After inspection, everything is correct."
A flash of light flashed across Wang Jian's eyes, and then he turned to Wang Ben: "Bring him in!"
"promise."
With a nod of agreement, Wang Ben turned around and left. Father and son have always treated each other as generals and subordinates in the army.
A moment later, Special Envoy Yang walked into the shogunate, saluted Wang Jian, and said: "General, I am here to deliver the information on the orders of General Yang Duanhe."
After finishing speaking, Yang handed the copper pipe to Wang Ben, and then waited for Wang Jian's instructions. Wang Ben took the copper pipe, looked at it carefully, and then said to Wang Jian: "The mud seal is intact, and Yang Duan and General
The mud seal over there can also match it."
Taking the copper pipe from Wang Ben, Wang Jian took a look at it, then turned to Yang and said, "Special envoy went all the way north and traveled through mountains and rivers. Thank you for your hard work."
"Sima of the Chinese Army, take the special envoy down to rest."
"promise."
After Yang left the shogunate, Wang Jian opened the copper tube, took out the silk book from it and looked through it.
"Yang Duan reconciled so quickly. In this battle, Zhao Guo has no chance at all." While speaking, Wang Jian handed the silk book to Wang Bi: "You also have a look."
"promise."
Compared with others, Wang Ben became famous at a young age and was born in a military family. He was in the limelight for a short time. However, Wang Jian looked down upon Wang Ben like this.
In his opinion, Wang Ben could only become an ordinary general, but he could not fully inherit his mantle. In the future, after the baptism of war, he would become a peerless general.
In this world, people are divided into three, six or nine levels. The gap between the most famous generals and ordinary generals is like a chasm.
After Wang Ben finished reading, he returned the silk book to Wang Jian and said: "General, Yang Duanhe defeated Wu'an. This is a good thing for us."
"Yang Duanhe cut off the Zhao State in the middle and split it into two. This meant that Handan's grain and grass could no longer support Jingxing Pass."
"Although Li Mu sits in Dai County and has great prestige, it cannot change the fact that Li Mu has become a lone army from now on."
"Once the news of the destruction of Wu'an City comes out, the morale of Zhao's army will be in chaos. This will be our army's opportunity."
Wang Jian was noncommittal about Wang Ben's analysis. Wang Jian knew that even though he said so, the specific operation could not be explained in a few words.
As the Wu'an Lord of Zhao State, Li Mu was not as terrifying as Bai Qi, but Wang Jian knew in his heart that in the Central Plains, all the Wu'an Lords in the past dynasties were not economical.
He had fought against Li Mu before and he lost. Therefore, Wang Jian was extremely afraid of Li Mu.
Looking at the map, Wang Jian was silent for a long time, and then gave Wang Ben a decisive order: "Go there in person and cooperate with Yang Duanhe."
"You stay in Wu'an City to ensure that Wu'an is always in the hands of our great Qin. At the same time, send an order to Yang Duan and his troops to go south to encircle Handan."
"Tell him not to worry about Jingxing Pass. As long as I am here, even if Li Mu dies, he will die at Jingxing Pass."
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Wang Ben stood still and said in a deep voice to Wang Jian: "General, take care!"
Immediately, Wang Ben left the shogunate.
Watching Wang Ben leave, Wang Jian smiled and cursed, saying: "This stinky boy..."
Wang Jian never doubted Wang Ben's ability. He just couldn't become a peerless general, but he was brave and good at fighting and his commanding ability was one of the best among the generals of the Qin army.
Unless he meets peerless military strategists like Li Mu and Bai Qi on the battlefield, no one can stop Wang Ben.
It was precisely because of his trust in Wang Ben that he asked Wang Ben to go south in person. Wang Jian knew better than anyone that once Yang Duanhe led the army south to Handan, the city of Wu'an would be empty.
If the Zhao people re-capture Wu'an City, the Qin army will suffer heavy losses, and it may even affect the development of the war.
At this point, he has laid out a dragnet and is just waiting for Zhao to be destroyed step by step. Naturally, he does not want any changes to happen.
