Yingzheng left, and the ministers all stepped forward to congratulate Zhuge Liang one by one, and Zhuge Liang smiled and thanked him one by one.

The lord of Tiance Mansion, the official position of the second grade, now the three of Daqin are also Shang Ying, Wei Ran, and Bai Qi are the official positions of the second grade, and now there is another Zhuge Liang, how not to make people envious.

Zhang Yi, Fan Ju, Gang Chengjun and Wei Ran of the Military Machine Pavilion walked towards Zhuge Liang, and the ministers around Zhuge Liang consciously gave way to a road.

Coming to Zhuge Liang, Zhang Yi took the lead in speaking: "Congratulations to Mr. Zhuge for being appointed as the head of Tiance Mansion, and I will ask Mr. for more advice in the future." ”

Zhuge Liang said modestly: "The elder of the pavilion is serious, no one in the seven countries of the world knows that the diplomatic strategy of the elder of the pavilion of "even horizontal" is "horizontal" and "vertical". ”

Zhang Yi smiled, and then Fan Ju, Cai Ze and a few people stepped forward to congratulate them, and a few people left, Wei Ran said: "Ran knows that with Mr. Yi's talent, there will be a place in this court." ”

Zhuge Liang and Wei Ran were more familiar with each other, and they didn't speak so politely, and said with a smile: "Hou Hou has more confidence in himself than Kong Ming." ”

Wei Ran also smiled and said, "Sir, have you ever thought about setting up a banquet in the mansion tonight and entertaining the ministers?"

Zhuge Liang said: "Now that my Qin State has won a great victory, there are still many soldiers who died on the battlefield and have not returned, and their relatives and family members have washed their faces with tears, how can Kong Ming put on a banquet at such a time and feast his colleagues." ”

Wei Ran arched his hand and said, "Mr. Gaoyi." ”

At noon, in the side hall of the main hall of the cabinet office of the left wing hall of the Chaotian Palace, Zhang Yi, Fan Ju, Zhuge Liang, and Jing Jian were discussing how to exchange millions of prisoners and the six countries for the affairs of being able to minister and money.

Zhang Yi was the first to ask: "This strategy was proposed by the pavilion master, presumably the pavilion master already has a high opinion in his heart, and the three of us will listen to it." ”

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and said with a smile: "I don't dare to take it seriously, I have a little shallow opinion, and I also ask the three colleagues to criticize and correct." ”

The three of them said that they did not dare, and Zhuge Liang said without saying much: "There are 200,000 soldiers from the Six Kingdoms, 12,000 people from Yan State captured by Wang Jian Michicheng, 5,000 people from Qi State were captured by Huo Qubing Xincheng City, 7,000 people from Wei State were captured by General Sima Cuo General Wusui City, 15,000 people were captured by General Wang Ling outside Xinxing City, nearly 3,000 people died in the forest and 2,000 people were captured, 13,000 people from Yan State and 4,000 people from Chu State; General Huan Qi from Hangu Pass later captured 4,000 people who fled from the Wei State, a total of 46,000 people. Wang Qiwuguan captured 140,000 soldiers of Chu and 140,000 seriously wounded, plus 15,000 men who escorted military rations, making a total of 200,000 soldiers. ”

"As for the people's support, 250,000 in Wei, 200,000 in Qi, 200,000 in Zhao, 100,000 in Korea, 250,000 in Chu, and Yan are too far away. ”

Zhuge Liang continued: "There are countless capable ministers in the Six Kingdoms, and it is impossible for my Qin State to 'invite' all of them to the Qin State, and it is impossible for the kings of the Six Kingdoms to agree, Liang means: Qi State Guan Zhong, Zhao State Li Mu, Yan State Le Yi are the main targets, Chu State has a general Xiang Yan, but the Xiang family is loyal to the King of Chu, if it is forcibly 'invited' to Qin State, its fierceness may be self-defeating to Qin, but it is better to exchange for Chu State grain, iron tools and other things." ”

Jing Jian agreed with Zhuge Liang's words very much, and continued: "What the pavilion master said is reasonable, if my Qin State's request is too much, the people of the Six Kingdoms will definitely not agree." Guan Zhong's reputation and prestige in Qi are several times better than that of the King of Qi, because of this, the King of Qi and the Empress Dowager of Qi are very jealous of him, if my Qin State proposes to let Qi State send Guan Zhong to Qin State to discuss the capture of Qi State, King Qi secretly does not know how much to thank my Qin State. ”

Zhang Yi also said: "As for Li Mu, King Zhao is a suspicious person, he only needs to release news in Zhao State that the march route of Yan Zhao's 100,000 army was revealed by Li Mu, and Qin State asked Zhao State for Li Mu again, and King Zhao categorically did not dare to refuse." ”

"As for Le Yi, I'm afraid King Yan won't agree, you must know that Le Yi is a great hero of Yan State, he led the army to break through the Qi State and attacked countless cities. If King Yan agrees, I don't know how many people's hearts will be chilled, and the people of Yan may not agree. But you have to give it a try, if you don't come, my Qin State won't lose anything. ”

Fan Ju thought of someone and said. "I heard that Li Kui of Wei was imprisoned by the King of Wei, in a sense, he is also a teacher of Shang Jun, and his talent is also extraordinary, I think he can be added. ”

"I heard that he wanted to leave the Wei State and travel all over the world, and the King of Wei was worried that he would serve other countries, so he ordered him to be imprisoned. The King of Wei of Wei is not as good as the next generation, and he is so narrow-minded, how can the world's celebrities go to him King Wei and serve for Wei. Now that all the Wei soldiers of the Wei State have been killed by Bai Qi, my Qin State wants someone from him Wei State, does he dare to disagree with the King of Wei. Jing Jian said coldly.

Several people nodded in agreement.

Fan Ju said: "In the past, the union of the six countries was slightly stronger than my Qin country, but now the union of the six countries is no longer the enemy of my Qin country, and in another twenty years, the six countries can be destroyed." ”

Zhang Yi said: "It doesn't take twenty years, ten years is enough, and what my Qin State is short of now is talent and time." ”

"So at this time, Bai Qi won it for my Qin State, the resentment of the people of the Six Kingdoms against him, and the accusations of the people of Qin State against him, compared to him, I am not as good as him. Jing Jian said with some admiration.

And the people were silent, and they began to deliberate again for several hours, and it was twilight.

The four of them set the rules and said goodbye to each other and left.

In fact, four days after Huo Qubing recaptured Xinxing City, Wei and Han received the news, then the Three Kingdoms of Zhao Chuqi, and finally the Yan Kingdom.

Wei and Han were closest to Xinxingcheng, but it would take time to mobilize a large army, although they prepared for the worst. The 30,000 troops of Wei and the 20,000 troops of Korea marched to their respective borders, but it took more than ten days to reach Xinxing City from the border of the two countries.

Twenty or thirty thousand troops are already the most troops that the two countries can call at present, if they are ambushed by the Qin army, then the two of them really have no troops to come out, not that they only have these two or thirty thousand troops left, although there are other armies, they need to be stationed in checkpoints, cities and other important places.

If you are mobilized, I am afraid that your allies today will be the enemies who will destroy your country tomorrow.

Wei and Han discussed for a long time, but before they could reach a result, they received the news that outside Hangu Pass, Bai Qi had destroyed the 300,000 troops of the Six Kingdoms, and the 600,000 troops of the Six Kingdoms who took the route of Hangu Pass were all wiped out.

Although King Han made the worst plan, when he received the news of the destruction of the 50,000 army in South Korea, he still fainted for a while, and the army that South Korea could call in addition to the checkpoint was only 70,000, and now 50,000 died in battle, how could he accept it. The same is true of the Wei State, the King of Wei fainted directly after receiving the news, and the most powerful hole card of the Wei State, Wei Wushu, was destroyed, and the King of Wei could not bear this blow at all.

King Zhao vomited blood on the spot when he received the news, and scolded loudly: "Bai Qi, you butcher, butcher, ......", and then fell into a coma, Zhao State has killed 400,000 Zhao troops since the Battle of Changping, and now in the past ten years, these 100,000 troops have been all the troops that Zhao can use, and the 50,000 cavalry are still the elite trained by Li Mu to guard against the Huns.

After this war, Zhao Guo is probably comparable to the weakest South Korea, and most of these 150,000 adult men have grown up in the past ten years, and now that they are dead, the disaster of Zhao has just begun.

As for the King of Qi of the Qi Kingdom, as soon as he received the news, he ran towards the harem in a panic and asked the Empress Dowager Qi for ideas.

When King Yan heard the news, he waved his hand to the left and right, and drank alone.

Chu suffered the greatest losses, mobilized 370,000 troops, and now 220,000 were killed in battle, nearly 150,000 were captured, the king of Chu heard the news and almost did not rescue him, he had already used the north of Chu to defend Han, Qi, Wei, half of the defenders of the border of the three kingdoms and all the defenders of the Qin-Chu border, otherwise how could there be an army of 370,000.

Now that the six countries can mobilize less than 100,000 troops, the first order issued by the king of the six countries when he 'woke up' was to send envoys to Qin to sue for peace, even if it was to cede land and sue for peace.

This is also the reason why the ministers of the Qin State only discussed the matter of the million prisoners of the Six Kingdoms, and none of them were worried that the Six Nations would jointly attack the Qin State again, and the Six Nations no longer had that strength.

The envoys of the six countries have already left for Xianyang City.

The news that a total of 950,000 troops from the six countries attacked the Qin State, killed 750,000 in battle, captured 200,000 soldiers, and supported 800,000 people, finally spread throughout the Seven Kingdoms, and the world was shaken, and the undercurrents of the sons and hundreds of schools of thought surged.

For the people of the Seven Kingdoms, just as Handan City became a "crying" city back then, how could the Seven Kingdoms not be a bigger Handan City - a bigger crying city.

War brings monstrous power to the superiors, but it brings endless suffering to the people.

The dead have returned to the underworld, and the living are immersed in grief, hatred, and confusion.

The gray hair of the parents, the sobbing of the wife, and the wailing of the children are telling to whom the cruelty and injustice of the world are being told.

Ying Zheng in the study of Xianyang Palace seemed to feel the helplessness, sorrow, and resentment of the people of Qin.

Step out of the study.

He wore a flat crown on his head, a black dragon robe, dragon pattern boots on his feet, and his hands behind his back, standing in front of Xianyang Palace.

Looking at the sky quietly, he seemed to be able to see the hunting white sails hanging by the people of the Qin Kingdom, and heard the grief-stricken cries before the spiritual seat, as well as the laughter of the children outside the courtyard.

Wu Jue, who came to Xianyang Palace to find Ying Zheng, didn't know why, she could feel the inexplicable sadness emanating from Ying Zheng's body from a long distance, and seeing Ying Zheng like this, her heart was full of pain.

She quietly came behind Ying Zheng, and she didn't speak, just stood with Ying Zheng like this.

I don't know how long it took, Ying Zheng spoke, his voice was very low, with a hint of self-reproach.

"Bai Qi is not wrong, it is me who is wrong, I am too arrogant and too anxious, which caused the current situation. 270,000 soldiers, 270,000 families, I have caused millions of people to lose their sons, husbands, fathers. ”

"I keep telling myself that I am the King of Qin, I want to be cold-blooded and ruthless, I want to be unkind, but I can't do it, since I received the news, I have been blaming myself and regretting it. ”

Wu Jue hugged Ying Zheng, she could feel Ying Zheng's bitterness and Ying Zheng's tears.

"You know what? I'm so tired of pretending to be - really tired - "

Wu Jue quietly patted Ying Zheng's back, as if his wife was comforting her injured husband.

The soldiers died in a hundred battles, their parents and relatives shed tears, the wandering souls of thousands of miles returned to the underworld, and the king of Xianyang pondered.
