Chapter 94 As military generals, we should follow the king's order.
After returning from Li Mu's shogunate, Zhao Shu was a little silent. It was not that he thought Li Mu was stalling for time, but that he was considering the politics of the King of Qin.
Qin Wangzheng had complicated feelings for the State of Zhao. If Qin Wangzheng were allowed to step into Handan at this time, he would probably cause a bloody storm.
Zhao Shu remembered clearly that when the Qin Dynasty was destroying the six kingdoms, the King of Qin never led a personal expedition.
Instead, he sent generals to lead the troops to fight, while he himself took charge of the situation in Xianyang.
Only after the Zhao State was destroyed, King Qin Zheng came to Handan in person for the first time.
He came not to conquer but to take revenge!
"Historical Records" records: In the 19th year...when the King of Qin arrived in Handan, Zhuchang had a grudge against his mother's family when the king was born in Zhao, and they all trapped him.
Although "Historical Records" cannot be fully believed, Zhao Shu also knows that it must be believed.
Entering the shogunate, Zhao Shu turned to Wang Jian and said: "General, Li Mu said he can surrender, but the king needs to come forward to talk to him."
"It involves hundreds of thousands of people in Dai County and 200,000 Zhao troops. He doesn't believe us!"
Hearing this, Wang Jian nodded and said in a faint tone: "Don't say it's Li Mu, even I don't believe it."
"Enable the Golden Order Arrow messenger to send the news back to Xianyang, and wait for the king's decision!"
This matter was no longer his decision, and Wang Jian did not want to get involved in it.
"General, I heard that the king has always been brooding about the old incident in Handan, and the entire Qin Dynasty is ashamed of it."
Zhao Ci's tone was low, and he said to Wang Jian: "But this time the king comes to Zhao, if he wants to persuade Li Mu to surrender, he needs to put aside his hatred..."
"If I accept the surrender of Li Mu and others and then go into Handan to kill people, I'm afraid..."
Wang Jian took a sip of herbal tea. He understood Zhao Shu's concerns, but no one could change this matter. He could only rely on Qin Wangzheng himself.
After a moment of silence, Wang Jian turned to Zhao Shu and said: "I believe in the king, and I can only believe in the king."
"As generals, we should follow the king's orders."
"promise."
At this moment, Zhao Shu's heart tightened. He knew clearly that this was Wang Jian's warning and reminder to him. As a minister, he did not need to think about the king's affairs.
.......
The envoy of Jin Lingjian galloped on his horse. Except for resting and changing horses in the official post, he did not stop day and night. Two days later, he arrived in Xianyang of the Qin Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, the Jinling Arrow envoy has entered Xianyang and is heading towards Zhangtai Palace." Zhao Gao said respectfully to King Qin Zheng.
Hearing this, Ying Zheng's eyes flashed with light, and he became extremely excited: "So fast?"
With his thoughts turning, Ying Zheng gave a decisive order: "Don't stop me. Prepare salt water, food and a place to rest for the Golden Lingjian Messenger."
"promise."
Ying Zheng knew in his heart that no matter what, since Wang Jian had activated the Golden Arrow Messenger due to Wang Jian's steady character, there must be something major that needed to be decided by him.
Can't delay.
Moreover, the only thing related to Wang Jian was the war, only the final decisive battle against Zhao.
The envoy of Jin Lingjian dismounted in front of Zhangtai Palace, handed the horse to the attendant, and then came towards Zhangtai Palace. After many inspections, he finally entered Zhangtai Palace.
"The last general, Yan Xun, has received the order from General Wang Jian to come and see the king!" Yan Xun saluted towards Ying Zheng and said firmly: "The king has been king for ten thousand years, and the Qin Dynasty has been ten thousand years -!"
"No courtesy, stay safe!" Ying Zheng's calm voice sounded, and Yan Xun quickly stood up.
Taking the water bag from Zhao Gao, Yan Xun took a few sips, then took out the copper tube and handed it to Qin Wangzheng respectfully with both hands.
Zhao Gao received Ying Zheng's signal, took the copper pipe from Yan Xun's hand, looked at it, nodded towards Ying Zheng, and then put the copper pipe on the desk.
After taking a look at the mud seal on the copper pipe, Ying Zheng said, "The special envoy has worked hard all the way. Zhao Gao takes the special envoy down to eat and rest!"
"promise."
Watching Zhao Gao take Yan Xun away, Ying Zheng just opened the copper tube, took out the silk book from it, and translated it against the inscription.
Just seeing the translated silk book, Ying Zheng's face became solemn and he raised his head: "It is said that Wei Liao, Li Si, Wang Wan, Weiyang Jun and others entered Zhangtai Palace."
"promise."
Li Mu surrendered and went to Zhao in person. This was not something he could decide alone, even if he was the King of Qin.
As a king, he has to be responsible for the entire Qin Dynasty, and after he leaves, he also needs to make arrangements for taking charge of Xianyang.
"Jun Wu'an of the State of Zhao, 200,000 elite Zhao troops..."
At this moment, Ying Zheng thought of a lot.
It is not only the issue of Li Mu's surrender, but also the issue of how to resettle Li Mu and others. If these matters are not handled well, there will be disaster.
Just one Li Mu was enough for him to go to Zhao, not to mention the 200,000 elite Zhao troops.
If Li Mu surrenders, Da Qin will be able to eat Handan, attack Yan Qi with its sword, or even destroy Wei.
Instead of needing to take a break immediately.
Almost instantly, Qin Wangzheng made a decision in his heart. He was going to seize the land of Zhao. He was also going to seize Li Mu and the 200,000 elite Zhao troops.
If they go to Zhao Di, they can get Li Mu and 200,000 elites. From Ying Zheng's point of view, this is an extremely cost-effective thing.
There, Wang Jian led nearly 500,000 Qin troops, and his safety was still guaranteed.
When Ying Zhengli had a clear idea, Li Si and others also rushed to Zhangtai Palace. When Jin Lingjian's envoy entered Xianyang, all the officials began to prepare to go to Zhangtai Palace.
Therefore, they are very fast.
Every time Jin Lingjian's envoys entered Xianyang, something big happened, and the King of Qin's political meeting summoned them immediately.
"I will pay my respects to the king. The king has lived for ten thousand years, and the Qin Dynasty has lived for ten thousand years——!" Headed by Weiyang Lord Ying Xi, the ministers saluted Ying Zheng.
"My dear friends, you don't need to be polite!" Ying Zheng looked at the arrival of the ministers, smiled, and said: "You all know the news of the arrival of the Jinling Arrow envoy."
"This is the message sent. Please pass it on, read it, and then share your thoughts."
"promise."
With a nod of agreement, the ministers took their seats respectively. Weiyang Jun Yingxi took the silk book and began to read it.
After reading it, he handed it to Wei Liao, and everyone glanced at it. Within a quarter of an hour, all the ministers had finished reading it.
At this moment, they had different thoughts in their minds and were thinking about how to talk to Ying Zheng.
"Your Majesty, the son of a rich man cannot sit down in the palace. Now is the important time for the Qin Dynasty to annex the six kingdoms. The king must not leave Xianyang lightly!"
Weiyang Lord Ying Xi was the first to speak, and said to Ying Zheng: "I believe that everything at the moment is based on the stability of the Qin Dynasty and the great cause of unification."
"Only by sitting in Xianyang and coordinating the overall situation can the Great Qin be invincible."
"I thought that the prime minister and the general Wang Jian should be fully responsible for persuading Li Mu to surrender. If this is not enough, I can also go, or even let the eldest son go."
