Chapter 244: Inside the City of Handan (I)
Meng Tian and his younger brother Meng Yi led 100,000 Mengjia troops to Handan and joined Qin Wang Yingzheng. However, when the army was halfway through, he received an edict from Ying Zheng, ordering Meng Tian to station the army on the border between Qin and Qi, and only let Meng Tian rush to Handan with 5,000 Mengjia cavalry.
Meng Tian probably guessed Yingzheng's thoughts, and he did this to defeat the Qi State as well, so that the entire Central Plains would become the territory of the Qin State, and the whole world would be the world of the Qin State.
Meng Tian handed over the army to Meng Li, and then set off with 5,000 cavalry. When they arrived in Handan, Yingzheng's Luan Jia also happened to arrive.
For example, if it has just been pacified today, from time to time there are still small groups of remnants of the princes who divide one side and occupy the king. However, it was at this time that Ying Zheng came to Handan, so when Meng Tian entered the city, he found that many of Ying Zheng's guards were wearing bloodstained armor, and it seemed that something must have happened on the road.
Knowing that Ying Zheng's Luan driver had not yet entered the city, Meng Tian decided not to enter the city, and set up camp outside the city with the five thousand cavalry that followed, and then he and Meng Yi went to Ying Zheng's camp in King Qin's camp together.
When they arrived at the camp, Zhao Gao, who was following Ying Zheng's side, reported to Ying Zheng, saying that Meng Tian and Meng Yi were waiting outside the camp to be summoned, and Ying Zheng quickly let them in after knowing about it.
"The two Aiqing haven't seen each other for a long time, so it's no matter how polite it is. Before Meng Tian and Meng Yi entered the big tent, Ying Zheng walked out, and when the two saw it, they bowed their heads and were stopped by Ying Zheng.
"Are you two still wondering that the widow did not receive you in King Zhao's palace, but in this military camp?" asked Ying Zheng, looking at the two brothers of the Meng family.
Meng Tian and Meng Yi glanced at each other, and then looked at Ying Zheng together.
Ying Zheng laughed, then turned around and walked towards the big tent, with Meng Tian and Meng Yi following behind.
Entering the big tent, Ying Zheng asked the brothers to sit down and said: "This time the widow came to Handan, it was nothing more than a revisit to the old land, and I didn't want to call you from the front-line army. However, along the way, the widow encountered several attacks by the remnants of the countries, but fortunately, Zhang Qing led the forbidden army to protect desperately, and the widow arrived safely outside Handan City. β
Ying Zheng looked at Zhang Han, Zhang Han had been following Ying Zheng and was responsible for Ying Zheng's safety. After Ying Zheng finished speaking, Zhang Han said to Meng Tian and Meng Yi: "When the king arrived outside the city of Handan, he originally wanted to enter the city directly, but there was a message from the garrison in the city, saying that the original son Jia of Zhao Wangqian was not dead, and he knew the news that the king was coming to Handan, so he gathered a group of dead soldiers to ambush in the city, waiting for the opportunity to assassinate. β
"That's why the widow is stationed outside the city, and when you and your Mengjia army arrive, the widow dares to enter the city with confidence. β
"Then why did the king let his ministers station the army on the border of Qi? Could it be that the king wants to attack Qi?" Meng Tian asked.
Ying Zheng nodded, and he said: "The State of Qi is the last prince of Shandong China, and it is also the most powerful prince in the past, so the widow has always been the king of Qi as an ally of the widow. But if it is decided today, after the Chu State is destroyed, there will be only one Qi country left in this world that does not belong to the widows. The king of Qi is weak by nature, with this kind of king, the country of Qi will perish sooner or later, and the widow is just letting this day come early. β
"Hey, by the way, the widow remembers that your grandfather was originally from the Qi Kingdom, doesn't he?" Ying Zheng suddenly remembered and asked Meng Tian.
Meng Tian was not very clear about this matter, and it was Meng Yi who answered Yingzheng: "Back to the king, what the king said is right, the ancestors are indeed from the Qi country." When the grandfather of the minister followed the first king into Qin, he settled down in Qin. "Schools
Ying Zheng is also very clear about this history, he said to Meng Tian and Meng Yi: "So the widow wants to hand over the heavy responsibility of attacking the Qi State to you, you are the widow's brother, since you have followed the widow, you have always been under the command of your grandfather and father, or you are leading the army under Wang Qian." Now that Wang Jian is old, the widow has received his recital, and after allowing him to pacify the Chu State, he will be allowed to return to the fief given to him by the widow to retire. After he leaves, the military power of the Qin State will be handed over to you, so don't let down the widow's wishes. β
Ying Zheng wanted to hand over the military power of the Qin State to himself, and Meng Tian was a little surprised. Even Zhang Han and the other soldiers of the forbidden army in the tent also showed envious expressions, and even Zhao Gao's eyes had a bit of a strange color.
Ying Zheng handed over all the military power of the Qin State to Meng Tian, that is to say, Meng Tian will be the person whose status is second only to Ying Zheng above the court of the Qin State, and even Li Si of the Xiangguo can't take what he does, just like LΓΌ Buwei can't take Wang Jian at the beginning, the real status of one person under ten thousand people.
"What, were you frightened by the widow's words?" Seeing Meng Tianleng there, Ying Zheng asked with a smile.
Meng Yi patted his eldest brother's arm beside him, Meng Tian came to his senses, he knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers are still young, I'm afraid it will be difficult to take on such a big responsibility." β
Ying Zheng made Meng Tian stand up, and he said, "Then do you know whose mouth this came from?"
"Who is it?"
"It's Wang Qian, it's he who recommended to the widow, and after he leaves office, you will be in charge of the army of Qin and help the widow govern the world. He is also quite satisfied with this idea, and now your military merits are not weaker than anyone except Wang Qian, even Li Xin, Wang Ben and others, you are not inferior to them. Wait for you, Qi Guo will beat the widows, and I don't think they will be able to say anything. This seems to have been discussed between Ying Zheng and Wang Qian, and they have already made a decision on the candidate to take over the soldiers and horses of the Qin State, but they only told the parties today.
"Meng Tian, your strength is obvious to all, your martial arts are no longer under me, and you can lead troops to fight, I believe that the tiger and wolf army of my Qin State will be more brave under your leadership. Zhang Han said on the side, he and Meng Tian are also teachers and friends, and now that Meng Tian can take over the handsome seal in Wang Qian's hands, he is also very happy for Meng Tian.
Meng Yi said to his brother: "Yes, big brother, with the king and the old general supporting you, what are you afraid of?"
Seeing that everyone was willing to let him accept this position, Meng Tian knelt down and said, "Minister, Meng Tian obeys my king's orders. β
"Well, it didn't disappoint the widow. β
Along with Wang Qian's report, there was also the news that the Chu general Xiang Yan was killed in battle, Xiang Yan led 50,000 Chu troops to escape from Shouchun City, and established Changping Jun as the king in the land of Nanyue, and the country name was still Great Chu. After Wang Jian got the news, he personally led an army of 100,000 to encircle and suppress, and it took less than a month to strangle all the remnants of the Chu army led by Xiang Yan, Xiang Yan died in battle, Changping Jun was beheaded, and even Xiang Yan's eldest son Xiang Qu was captured alive by the Qin army, and then wanted to escape at night when the Qin army was not paying attention, but fell into the trap set by the Chu army to prevent the Qin army's secret agents, and was pierced in the chest by the thin bamboo in the trap and died, Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu led the scarce Chu army to escape, fled into the deep mountains and old forests and disappeared.
Meng Tian, who got the news, smashed his mouth, he still thought that he could fight Xiang Yu again, it seemed that there was no hope for the rest of his life.
On the second day, the drums and trumpets sounded in the Qin army camp, and 5,000 Mengjia soldiers rode horses on both sides of the camp gate, and the team lined up directly from the Qin army camp gate to the city gate of Handan City.
King Yingzheng of Qin was dressed in a Qin Dynasty costume and wore a crown on his head, riding on a horse with a divine horse, and Zhao Gao led the horse for him in front of him. Behind him were Meng Tian and Zhang Han, and beyond them was the forbidden army of Qin.
Under the heavy protection of his side, King Yingzheng of Qin entered Handan City, the place where he was born, and the most unforgettable place in his life. Today he is back from Yingzheng, and he is back here with the invincible army of Qin, and he wants everyone here to know that the little child who was bullied on the streets of Handan has now become the master who can control their fate, let them kneel in front of him, and beg him to spare their lives.
