Become Stronger and Immortal By Picking Up Attributes From the Battlefield

Chapter 96 Zhao Ying: Mom, brother is living well! Zhao was shocked!

Zhao Feng was made a general.

Maybe some people are really happy for Zhao Feng, and happy for Zhao Feng's mother and sister.

For example, Wu Lizheng is a typical example.

He has no jealousy at all about this.

But some people.

Seeing that someone who usually had a worse life than him has now become the most powerful in the village, he naturally feels unspeakable jealousy in his heart.

Zhao Ying walked quickly towards her yard.

Wu Lizheng also followed closely.

For Zhao Ying, she couldn't wait to tell her mother the good news.

Zhao Ying didn't value much about authority. What she valued was being able to make her mother live a better life.

"He is the general who leads troops to fight." Zhao Ying replied with a smile. The excitement on her face showed how happy Zhao Ying was at this moment, happy for her brother.

"Your little boy Feng has become famous and has become a general."

Mrs. Zhao in the yard has already been looking forward to it.

"Over the years, our family is still grateful to Grandpa Wu for giving us three acres of land to farm. In the future, we will have more fields, and we can also collect rent from tenants, so we don't have to be so tired."

"Yinger, how is your brother?"

Zhao held the bamboo slip in her hand and said in disbelief.

"But look at the imperial records. All of my military exploits are recorded in them. Not only did I become a general, I was also granted the title of Zuo Shuchang. Do you know what level of title this is? This is a tenth-level nobleman. Our family will have thousands of acres of fertile land in the future, and when I have a son, I can inherit these lands hereditary. "

"You will enjoy the blessings from now on." Wu Lizheng said with a smile.

"Brother is still alive and well, and you will never imagine how powerful he is now." Zhao Ying said excitedly, and her pretty face turned red.

"From the Zhao family."

Ms. Zhao stood up immediately and asked with a worried look on her face.

The two siblings were taught how to read by Zhao, so naturally Zhao was also literate.

Zhao was relieved to hear that Zhao Feng was still alive.

"Then I'm afraid it will be difficult for your Zhao Feng to come back in the near future." Wu Lizheng said with a smile.

"Is there any news about when your brother will come back?" Zhao asked again.

"It's useless to say so much now. I have already broken out and made so many military exploits. Moreover, the officer who just distributed the salary also said that the current king also thinks highly of me and directly issued a royal edict. The whole army has publicized my military exploits, and I am now the youngest general in the Qin Kingdom."

"It's good that your brother is alive."

"Let girl Ying tell you, but you have to be prepared and don't be scared." Wu Lizheng said with a smile.

"And do you know how much my brother's salary is?"

Mrs. Zhao took the bamboo slip, opened it and took a closer look. Her eyes took in the words on it. When she read them all, Mrs. Zhao's face was filled with a look of astonishment.

"Uncle Wu, could it be that Feng'er has done something wrong?" Zhao asked in surprise.

"General?" Zhao was stunned, with a look of confusion and surprise on his face: "What general?"

"mother."

"mother."

"I didn't believe it at first."

Zhao Ying happily raised the bamboo slip in her hand, and then handed the bamboo slip to Zhao.

"mother."

"This is true."

Got back home.

"Did you get the wrong person?"

Zhao still looked confused, her eyes falling on Zhao Ying.

But there was not much happiness on Zhao's face. Instead, there was a worry deep in her heart: "If I had a choice, I wouldn't even let him go to the military."

"Look quickly."

"From the Zhao family."

"How can this be?"

"At that time, I can buy some better medicine for you to recuperate." Zhao Ying also said very happily.

"My brother has become the general of Great Qin." Zhao Ying said excitedly.

"Now it adds up to eight hundred stones a year."

"Feng'er has been drafted into the army for less than a year. Even if he was lucky enough to achieve some military exploits, he probably won't become a general." Zhao said inexplicably.

"mother."

"After that year, I'm afraid your brother won't be able to retreat." Zhao said disappointedly.

Originally, her biggest expectation was that Zhao Feng would serve in the army for two years and then return home to live.

But as Zhao Feng was promoted to deputy general and general, his two years of service became an empty talk.

Those who retired after two years of service are the most ordinary soldiers, not elite soldiers. Even elite soldiers cannot retire, let alone a very rare general who leads the army.

"There is definitely no way back from this."

"But when Mr. Feng stabilizes, he will definitely come back to see you." Wu Lizheng said with a smile.

"mother."

"Now that my brother is fine, why are you still so depressed?"

Looking at Mrs. Zhao who looked worried, Zhao Ying said with a smile.

"It's good that your brother is fine." Mrs. Zhao just agreed, but looking at this, she was obviously very worried.

"It was so difficult for Feng'er and Ying'er to survive the whirlpool, and now Feng'er has such an opportunity and has become a general."

"I hope Feng'er won't go to that whirlpool place again in the future."

"If anyone finds out, Feng'er, Ying'er and the others will be in danger."

"If possible, it would be great if our family could live here forever and never go out." Zhao thought with a sigh in her heart.

At this time.

Wu Lizheng said: "By the way, Zhao family, you also need to prepare. That Lord Chen Fen just said that Feng Xiaozi's salary will not be paid by him, but by the county guard. Maybe the county guard will arrive tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. "

"Don't worry, Grandpa Wu, I will be ready." Zhao Ying replied immediately.

"Also, from the Zhao family."

"I want to discuss something with you." Wu Lizheng looked at Zhao with some hesitation.

Looking at Wu Lizheng's appearance, Mrs. Zhao smiled slightly: "Uncle Wu, if it hadn't been for you, our mother, daughter and Feng'er might not be alive today. Your kindness in taking in and caring for us will be our family forever. Will never forget it.”

"I said it at the beginning."

"Uncle Wu saved our lives. Feng'er and Ying'er are both your grandchildren. No matter what happens to you, our family will never refuse."

From these words, we can hear Zhao's gratitude to Wu Lizheng.

Wu Lizheng also smiled movedly and said: "It's not about other things. Your family has made a fortune. If you have a tenth-level title, you will have thousands of acres of fertile land. However, there are more than a dozen families in our village who don't even have enough land to plant. Compared with those rich Households have to pay high rents for renting. I wonder if you can make it a little cheaper and give them some fertile land for planting. At least the rents will be lower than those outside. "

"Uncle Wu."

"You don't need to discuss these matters with me. We, mother and daughter, don't understand these things at all. If there is really so much fertile land, you can just follow the arrangements." Ms. Zhao smiled slightly and didn't take it to heart at all.

"As long as you say this."

"I thank you on behalf of the needy households in the village."

Wu Lizheng said with a smile.

have to say.

This Wu Lizheng is indeed worthy of being called highly respected.

Now he is nearly sixty years old, which is considered a long life in this era. He once had three sons, but all of them died on the battlefield. His former wife was happy, but now he is alone.

Because all his sons died in battle for the country and had meritorious service, the titles and fields of the three sons were all attributed to Wu Lizheng, and they were not returned to the state until a hundred years later.

But Wu Lizheng did not hold onto the dozens of acres of land at all. Instead, he evenly distributed it to needy households in the village and those with a large population.

And he only left two or three acres of land for planting.

Even the fields planted by the Zhao family were given by Wu Lizheng.

At this age, he has no enjoyment in his heart. He has experienced too much, and now he just wants to make the poor villagers in the village live a better life.

At this moment!

There were bursts of footsteps outside the yard.

Many villagers who had always been friends with the Zhao family gathered over, and of course some came to watch the fun.

Now that the Zhao family has a general, he is a big shot in Sha Village and even in the entire Shaqiu County. Naturally, many people are trying to please him.

"Congratulations from the Zhao family."

"Your boy Zhao Feng is coming of age."

"yes."

"Your boy Zhao Feng has become a general. We are here to congratulate you."

"You won't have to live so hard in the future..."

One by one, the aunties walked into the courtyard and congratulated Mrs. Zhao.

Looking at these people, Mrs. Zhao responded to them one by one with her usual smile.

…

Xianyang, inside Zhangtai Palace!

Ying Zheng sat on the throne, and in front of him were several important ministers of the Qin Dynasty. However, these important ministers had different expressions at this moment, and each of them had memorials in their hands that were being circulated.

"Have you finished reading it all?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Return to the king."

"I have finished circulating it," Wang Wan replied respectfully.

"How about General Zhao Feng's strategy?" Ying Zheng glanced around and asked.

"I think so."

"If the hidden dangers of reorganizing the reduced soldiers are too great, it is better to demote the reduced soldiers to slaves. Firstly, there is no need to pay a salary and avoid the loss of money and food in the national treasury. Secondly, the hidden dangers are too great. If it is really reorganized in this way, the national strength will be greatly reduced. There will also be a lot of losses," Wang Wan said directly.

"I think General Zhao Feng's strategy is feasible."

"Since ancient times, there have been many strategies for battlefield attacks. When we advanced to attack, Han was dead and the country no longer existed. It was transformed into Yingchuan County of our Great Qin. Strictly speaking, the soldiers surrendered by Han were also our subjects of the Great Qin. This was also what General Zhao wanted With words, we no longer have the trouble of reorganizing and lowering our troops.”

"In the past, they surrendered and rebelled again. In the final analysis, the mother country still existed, so they did not really surrender. But now that Handu has died, do they still dare to rebel? Our Daqin law will implicate his entire clan. If he dares, Then kill the chicken to scare the monkeys with the order of the whole clan.”

"Again."

"The reorganization of the surrendered soldiers is absolutely beneficial to our Great Qin. The Great Qin aims to destroy all the countries and unify the world. Every time a country is destroyed, a large number of surrendered soldiers will be collected. These surrendered soldiers who retreated from the battlefield are all very powerful. , is far better than our Da Qin retraining new soldiers, and the loss of national power is also less. "

"The reorganization strategy proposed by General Zhao is to reduce the soldiers to soldiers before they are transformed into warriors. Our Daqin only pays them a full day's food and does not need to spend a year's salary. This also avoids a huge loss of national power. "Wei Liao stood up and agreed.

Compared to conservatives like Wang Wan, Wei Liao, as a disciple of Guigu, is naturally very open-minded and innovative.

The reorganization strategy proposed by Zhao Feng was immediately recognized by him and felt feasible.

"Tingwei, tell me."

Ying Zheng did not make a direct decision and looked at Li Si again.

"Although I don't know much about military dispatch, let alone military reorganization."

"But the Shaofu comes from Guigu and is trained in military strategy. Naturally, his understanding of the army is far beyond that of people like me who live deep in the temple. So I think what the Shaofu said is reasonable." Li Si said with his fists clasped.

Say these words.

It does say a lot.

But he did not express Li Si's intention, but echoed Wei Liao's intention, and incidentally criticized Wang Wan for being a person who lives above the temple and did not understand at all.

have to say.

What Li Si said was a double entendre.

He is worthy of being a minister who hangs around the court.

Listen to what Li Si said.

A flash of dissatisfaction flashed in Wang Wan's eyes, but he did not dare to go too far in front of King Qin.

"Perhaps what the young master said is true, but it will take time for all this to be proven." Wang Wan glanced at Li Si.

And this time.

Wang Jian, who had never spoken before, spoke.

This time there was a military discussion, and Wang Jian and Meng Wu were naturally among them.

"Zhao Feng's policy, I second it."

"I have been in the army for many years, this strategy is feasible." Wang Jian expressed his attitude directly.

Hear the words.

Ying Zheng smiled slightly: "The general's words are reasonable, and Zhao Feng's strategy is indeed feasible."

"This strategy is to draw fuel from the bottom of the cauldron, and attack the heart first."

"One thing is that all Han Jiang soldiers have lost their home country. They have nowhere to escape. Their families and children are all under the control of our great Qin. If they rebel, the whole family will be executed."

"Secondly, Zhao Feng used the temptation to let the surrendered soldiers become the true warriors of our great Qin Dynasty. By killing the enemy and making meritorious deeds, they can become warriors. He gave every opportunity to surrender the soldiers. I believe that no surrendered soldier can refuse. This is also the military merit system. Another manifestation of surrender." Ying Zheng said slowly.

It seemed that important ministers had been summoned for discussion, but in fact these words had already made Ying Zheng decide and agreed to the strategy proposed by Zhao Feng.

"Your Majesty, Shengming." Wei Liao was the first to speak in agreement.

Other ministers in the palace also echoed: "Your Majesty, your Majesty."

"General."

"Pass an edict to Zhao Feng to implement this policy."

"Give him time, if he can really turn the soldiers into combat power for our Great Qin to use, I will reward him." Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.

"I accept the imperial edict," Wang Jian said immediately.

"Your Majesty." "I have something to report."

"It concerns the State of Zhao."

Wei Liao said at this time.

"Say." Ying Zheng looked at Wei Liao.

"I got some news."

"Zhao State seems to have the intention to mobilize troops against other countries. Now Zhao State's most elite border troops have moved, and Zhao State's Lian Po and Pang Nuan seem to be heading towards Handan." Wei Liao said in a deep voice.

"Zhao Yan."

Mentioning Zhao Guo, Ying Zheng thought of Zhao Yan, and could not help but show a cold look on his face.

"The position is not right, and there are constant discussions about it from top to bottom in the court and even among the people. If Zhao Yan wants to change this situation, he can only expand externally and expand his territory."

"It's not surprising that he has the intention to mobilize troops." Ying Zheng smiled lightly.

He had already seen through Zhao Yan's purpose.

"What the king said is absolutely true."

"Zhao Yan can't wait to expand his territory to prove himself at this moment, but he has this intention, but he doesn't dare to carry it out."

"Because I, Da Qin, are here, what he is most afraid of right now is me, Da Qin, and he is afraid of the king."

"If he mobilizes troops, the biggest worry is that our Great Qin will take the opportunity to launch troops against him. Therefore, Zhao Yan will not dare to launch troops before ensuring that our Great Qin will not launch troops against him." Li Si said with a smile.

"Gu, I want Zhao to mobilize troops." Ying Zheng said with a serious look on his face, looking at the ministers.

"King Zhao must be thinking the same thing at the moment. He is eager to sign a non-attack pact with me, Da Qin, in order to gain the opportunity to mobilize troops."

"I think we can send envoys to Zhao to express our intention to form an alliance and not attack." Wei Liao said immediately.

"The reason why Zhao wants to form an alliance with us, Da Qin, is to attack other countries and expand their territory. Then what reason should we give to Da Qin?" Ying Zheng looked at Wei Liao and asked.

Wei Liao bowed and said with a smile: "Yingchuan is unstable! If we spread the news to the outside world, the remnants of Han in Yingchuan will continue to cause chaos. Our Great Qin's national power will disappear and its military strength will be exhausted!"

"If we deliberately exaggerate the news that our country, Da Qin, is afraid that Zhao Guo will attack our border with Da Qin and aid Korea, this will surely make Zhao Yan lose his guard and form an alliance with our country, Da Qin."

Hear this.

Ying Zheng's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "As expected of Gu Guigu's attack plan, this is a good strategy."

"As long as we, Da Qin, show weakness, Zhao Yan will definitely fall for it."

"In the bottom of his heart, he even wants to form an alliance with our Great Qin to avoid being attacked by our Great Qin later. He first allows him to sign an alliance with other countries to attack. When the battle becomes impossible and it is impossible to retreat, our Great Qin will directly send his army to attack Zhao. , we will be able to capture many Zhao Kingdom cities.”

Hear the sound!

All the ministers also bowed to Ying Zheng, and they all understood the young king's thoughts.

"Great King Shengming."

The ministers said in unison.

"I'll leave the layout to Wei Qing."

"This matter is only in the ears of Gu and all the ministers. If it is spread to outsiders, Gu will never forgive it." Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.

"I understand," the ministers responded immediately.

And Wei Liao also happily accepted the order.

"After the rumors dissipate, we still need a capable minister to send an envoy to Zhao to seek an alliance."

"Do you have anyone to recommend?" Ying Zheng asked again.

"Start the memorial, Your Majesty."

"I recommend Yao Jia to your Majesty. His eloquence is excellent. Ever since he joined our Qin Dynasty, he has been thinking hard about serving the king. Now he finally has the opportunity. I believe he will never let the king down." Li Si immediately reported.

I heard Yao Jia's name.

Ying Zheng looked a little thoughtful.

My thoughts couldn't help but go back to that year.

then!

Yao Jia was once a minister of Zhao. In the name of the former King of Zhao, he united Chu, Han, and Wei to attack Qin.

Ability is indeed capable.

But after he entered the state of Qin as an envoy, he was expelled by the state of Zhao.

After entering Qin.

With his eloquence and ability, Yao Jia gained some respect from Ying Zheng, so he made him a minister and granted him a thousand households.

At that time, Yao Jia entered Qin.

Naturally, it also aroused a lot of discussion, among which the famous Han Fei even said: Liang is a great thief, Zhao is chasing his ministers.

You can see the irony of this sentence.

perhaps.

This is also why Yao Jia and Li Si poisoned Han Fei to death in history.

Han Fei's words were also a deep-seated reason that poisoned Yao Jia to death.

"As an envoy to the State of Zhao, there should be someone with a distinguished status to represent our country, Qin. It can also show that our country, Qin, is forced to seek an alliance due to the situation. I recommend Mi Qi, Lord of Changping. In terms of status, he is the father of the eldest son's mother. In terms of status, he is the father of the eldest son's mother. He is the minister of Great Qin, and it would be more appropriate for him to be sent as envoy by Lord Changping." Wang Wan stood up and suggested loudly.

Obviously.

He also wanted to fight with Li Si.

Hearing Wang Wan's words.

Ying Zheng also looked thoughtful.

Wang Wan and Li Si looked at Ying Zheng anxiously. As ministers of the Qin Dynasty, the court was now clear and under the control of the royal power. As ministers, if they wanted to continue to be prosperous, they could only rely on the king, so they could only Right to propose.

"What Xiangbang said is absolutely true."

"Going as Lord Changping will indeed make Zhao Yan believe that Da Qin is forced to seek an alliance."

After a while, Ying Zheng spoke slowly.

Hear the words.

Wang Wan immediately showed joy, while Li Si was slightly disappointed.

If this mission is successful, it will naturally be a great achievement.

"Although Lord Changping is capable, he was born in the army and is not perfect at eloquence when going on missions. Yao Jia has eloquence."

"Pass the secret edict."

"With Mi Qi as the chief envoy and Yao Jia as the deputy envoy, when the time comes when Wei Qing's layout is completed, the two beloved ministers will immediately go to Zhao as envoys." Ying Zheng said immediately.

Another village has a bright future.

Li Si, who originally thought his recommendation was useless, was also smiling at this moment.

"Great King Shengming."

Wang Wan and Li Si looked at each other and replied in unison.

"Father."

"Han Fei has been imprisoned in the imperial edict for nearly half a month. I wonder what my father will do with him?"

"My son, I have heard for a long time that Han Fei is a great talent in this world. If he can be used by our Great Qin, he will definitely strengthen our Great Qin's national power."

Fusu stood up and bowed.

As soon as these words fell.

Li Si in the hall was frightened, and his brows suddenly tightened.

"It's true."

"Fusu is wooing Han Fei."

Li Si couldn't help but squeeze his hands in his sleeves.

Li Si was very clear about the talents of his classmate.

If Han Fei is really used by Fusu, it will definitely not be a good thing for him. Another Legalist genius will be used against him?

Li Si understood Fusu's intention instantly.

"Start the memorial, Your Majesty."

"I once studied at Jixia Academy with Han Fei and studied under teacher Xunzi."

"Let me see it."

"Han Fei has always been loyal and loyal. It will definitely not be easy for him to return to the Qin Dynasty with peace of mind." Li Si stood up immediately and said with a look of helplessness and understanding of Han Fei.

"Then according to what Tingwei said, Han Fei can no longer be used by Gu?" Ying Zheng looked at Li Sidao.

Han Baiguan was escorted here together with Han Fei, but those Baiguan who are willing to submit and are capable have been assigned errands, and their children will also be taken to Da Qin as hostages.

As for those who were unwilling to submit, the senior officials were directly executed, and the family members were demoted to slaves.

But only Han Fei.

After capturing Han Fei in Da Qin, Ying Zheng never summoned him. Instead, he locked him in the imperial prison and ignored him. Perhaps it was to polish Han Fei, so that when he summoned Han Fei later, it would be a matter of course. Collect it for your own use.

"Father."

"My son feels that Han Fei is both talented and proud."

"As long as you understand it with reason and move it with emotion, you will surely be able to use it to our great Qin's advantage."

"My son is willing to send an edict on behalf of my father to persuade Han Fei to surrender. I ask my father's permission." Fusu bowed and asked directly for his orders.

When Li Si saw this, he felt anxious and immediately came out: "Your Majesty, Han Fei is my classmate and a close friend for many years. I would like to go and persuade him."

Looking at the two people in the palace who were rushing to persuade Han Fei to surrender, Ying Zheng glanced briefly. When he saw Fusu, a slight look of disgust flashed in his eyes, but it passed away in a flash.

Just for a moment.

Ying Zheng turned his attention to Li Si and said, "Tingwei, please go and take care of me."

"I accept the edict." Li Si responded immediately, scanning Wang Wan with his peripheral vision with a sense of pride.

Fusu, on the other hand, stepped aside with some disappointment.

Wang Wan glanced worriedly.

After the officials have retreated.

"Wang Wan."

"Fusu."

"Again, again and again..."

Ying Zheng stared outside the hall and uttered two names coldly, which seemed to have a profound meaning.

After Zhao Gao, who was serving on the side, heard this.

There was no change in his expression, but he was happy in his heart.

In the palace.

Fusu and Wang Wan walked side by side.

"Young master just got impatient. You must never ask the king to persuade Han Fei to surrender." Wang Wan said with a worried look on his old face.

"Why?" Fusu asked puzzled.

"Do you know what matters most to a king?" Wang Wan asked.

Fusu thought for a moment and said, "Right?"

"Exactly the right."

"And forming cliques for personal gain is considered taboo by the king."

"Han Fei is a prisoner and has not surrendered to our Great Qin. You are so enthusiastic about Han Fei and you are overdoing it."

"Although the young master is the eldest son, he is not the crown prince after all. If you mention such things, it will be full of intentions to win over Han Fei for the young master. Even if the young master thinks about it in his heart, he cannot show it in front of the king." Wang Wan said with a sigh.

"No wonder my father chose to ask Li Si to persuade him to surrender."

"I have hated my father right now." Fusu looked astonished.

"At the beginning, the old minister wanted the young master to get the help of military power and pave the way for his promotion to the crown prince in the future, so he ordered people to secretly spread the news that the king intended to marry the royal daughter to the young master. This fact was a kind of temptation for the old minister to the king, and the king did not stop it. , the people in the court were also happy to see the success, which shows that the young master is very important in the heart of the king. "

"So you don't need to worry about today's matter."

"In the future, you must be careful not to show off too much in front of the king, and you must not show off to argue."

"The royal family has no father and son, only rights."

"Young master, you must bear this in mind." Wang Wan said very seriously.

Fusu nodded, bowed and said, "Thank you, Mr. Wang, for your guidance."

"Young master, you don't need to be like this. I will do my best for you."

"Although the young master did not have the opportunity to meet Han Fei in person this time, at least the young master's grandfather got the opportunity to go to Zhao as an envoy. As long as Lord Changping makes meritorious service, the credit will belong to the young master."

"Li Si, after all, is still not as powerful as the young master in the court."

"He can't defeat us." Wang Wan said with a sneer.

And this time!

Li Si walked back slowly.

When he saw Wang Wan and Fusu talking, Li Si didn't even stop.

"Wei Ting is so proud of himself."

"The eldest son is here, and he doesn't know how to salute?"

Seeing Li Si passing by, Wang Wan frowned and said coldly.

"Why do you need to salute?"

"Although the eldest son is a young master, he is not a prince. If I want to salute, I should also salute the king and the prince."

"In terms of official rank, Mr. Fusu is not as good as me." Li Si turned around and replied with a bit of coldness.

Then he turned around and left.

Judging from this attitude, we can see how incompatible Li Si and Wang Wan are, and they don't even hide it.
