Chapter 296: The Return of the King

On the second day of the Qin army's night escape, the Wei army, which was trapped in the barren mountains, chose to surrender unconditionally. In front of the dragoons of the Zhao State, they took off their armor, put down their swords and guns, and then lined up in a long line and walked down the mountain in turn.

Stepping on the thick snow, Yan Hu, the general of the Wei State, had infinite sadness in his heart, and at the same time had a few decompositions. He was very glad that he had made the right choice at that time, gave up resistance, and quietly waited and watched. This saved the lives of the remaining members of the Wei army. If you choose to help the people of Qin with a bad thought, then there is no doubt that the current end will be miserable.

In front of Zhao Guolongcheng, even a figure like Shang Yunbai returned without an inch. Not to mention anything else! When he thought of this, Yan Hu didn't seem to feel so embarrassed about his defeat a few days ago.

The snow in the sky was blowing and falling on the armor, although it was not as windy. However, these Wei soldiers who had taken off their armor felt the cold and seemed to be unbearable. Most of them were cold and hungry, trembling ready for an unknown fate.

There's really no way! The remnants of the army, which had been cut off from all sources of supply, seemed to have no other way to survive than to surrender. In the current situation, even without the order of King Wei, they would probably have made such a choice in the end. The taste of being trapped in the barren mountains was not pleasant, and God seemed to deliberately aggravate their suffering, after a night of cold and snow, the Wei people even the only remaining fighting spirit in their hearts was disappeared without a trace.

These surrendered Wei soldiers were temporarily placed in the original Qin army camp under the strict guard of the dragoons. The camp left behind after Shang Yunbai's withdrawal was intact. Now is the right time to settle the surrendered Wei people. They were ordered to wait here in peace, but they didn't know what they were waiting for.

By the time everything was arranged, it was already a few days away. The snow has long since stopped. Regardless of the inconvenience caused by other aspects, this first snow of the winter is very good for farming. In addition to the benefits of mountains and rivers, Zhao has thousands of miles of fertile land. Seeing this scene of Ruixue Zhaofeng Year, the hearts of Zhao Guoren from top to bottom were very relieved.

Fei Yi, the minister of state who stayed in Longcheng and was responsible for everything, was naturally in the same mood as everyone. A smile finally appeared on his face after many days of sorrow. Whether it is the great military victory or this timely snow, it indicates the strong rise of Zhao, and there is no force that can stop it.

"Your Excellency, so many Wei people stay outside the city, supporting them with nothing to do, spending money and food every day, and you also need to take care of their warmth, so you can't treat them too badly...... Alas! Our Zhao Guo is too generous! What to do with them, didn't the king have the latest orders to come back? ”

Compared with the happy smiles of the prime minister and the others, the senior doctor Zizhong frowned and looked reluctant. This important minister in charge of financial power, as the strength of Zhao State becomes stronger and stronger, he is now more and more concerned about the power in his hands. Since King Zhao trusted him so much, of course he couldn't live up to his trust. Because Zizhong, who started as a big businessman, understands a truth very well, the bigger the family business, the more you need to be careful about your calculations! The so-called good steel should be used on the blade, and if you want to help the king realize the grand cause in his chest, you must always take care of the treasury for him, and you can't make any unnecessary waste!

Minister Fei Yi has been dealing with this doctor for decades, and he knows his thoughts clearly. If in the past, the two of them often fought for power, but now, he doesn't care about these things at all. Since everyone's ultimate goal is to serve King Zhao, what's the point of fighting around? However, he still felt secretly ridiculous about Zizhong's inseparable businessman nature. This old fox is a good hand at collecting money, but when it comes to vision, it is still far behind! Perhaps King Zhao had already seen him clearly, so he gave him full financial power. Zizhong looked grateful, dedicated, and eager to calculate the money for every plant, which can be seen in King Zhao's cleverness.

Fei Yi, who knew everything, smiled proudly. He pointed to the large camp outside the city, where the smell of fireworks and food could come from the snow. Obviously, the time for dinner has arrived, and the Wei people who are staying there safely have hot meals to eat.

"Doctor Shang, the Wei army is only placed here, but it costs some money, food, and cloth. Don't worry too much about that! In the future, perhaps they will be just like us, subjects loyal to the king...... Hehe! Of course, if they really have nothing to do, I've already sent someone to give the order. Let these Wei people clean up the snow near Longcheng, and every road inside and outside the city, far and near, must be cleaned. It can also be regarded as allowing them to move their muscles and bones. ”

Fei Yi, who said these words with a faint smile, seemed to have a special meaning in his words. Doctor Shang's eyes lit up, and his and many people's hearts suddenly became excited. Because, they are extremely familiar with Fei Yi, and they seem to have understood something.

"Your Excellency! Can't you make it clearer? Is it ......? ”

Someone couldn't help it, and was already asking a question in a hurry next to him. Fei Yi laughed. Actually, he didn't mean to sell off. The news he is about to announce is not a secret to the people of the world.

"The winter solstice is coming, and the king is coming back! A few days ago, after receiving his summons, the army had already set off from Daliang ....... ”

Although many people had expected it in their hearts, it was still exciting to hear such news suddenly. Suddenly, there were cheers from far and near.

"So, what should Wei do, does the king have any arrangements?"

Zizhong suppressed the excitement in his heart, he, like many people, really wanted to hear the most desired result. And Chu Jiangmian naturally never let them down. Subsequently, the words relayed from his own mouth made them all boil.

"The king has made it clear that the Wei State will cease to exist from now on! And how can what he said change? The Son of Heaven, who is far away in Zhongzhou, has issued an edict to announce it to the world. Because the king of Wei Nangong did not have talent and virtue, and lost the expectations of the people, the land of the princes of Wei was revoked and the royal family of the Great Zhou was recovered. The Son of Heaven temporarily entrusted King Zhao with the management of the ...... Hehe! Do you understand it now? ”

What does this order of the Great Zhou Tianzi represent, if anyone still doesn't understand, then he is a fool! Of course, none of the people present were stupid. At the same time as their hearts were agitated, they suddenly realized that the decision of King Zhao Qianliqin to rescue Luocheng was simply wise!

"Our king...... It's amazing! What has been done in such a short period of time, I am afraid that no one has been able to do it in the past and present. It was doubtful that he had seen every step of the way before he ascended the throne. And this step-by-step interlocking, half the effort, and finally a great success. It's very accessible! ”

The great master Zhong looked up to the sky and sighed, happy and convinced. Thinking of the young man's demeanor, all of them couldn't wait to welcome his return in person.

"When the king returns to Dragon City, he will bring the king of Wei back with him. According to what he said in his letters, the former prince was a man of great ideas...... Anyway, the old man didn't understand what Nangong Yu had in mind. On the contrary, our king is the one who really has ideas!"

Fei Yi sighed casually. These are the words from his heart. That young man who almost grew up in his eyes! It was such a surprise to him. Even if he had discovered a long time ago, Chu Jiangmian, who was known as a gentleman in the world, actually had extraordinary qualities, and his future achievements must be limitless. But he never expected that he would directly start roaring the wind and clouds with a momentum like "soaring into the sky", overlooking the whole world!

The method of "coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes" is certainly not Chu Jiangmian's originality. But it is much more difficult to achieve personal goals by this means. And like Chu Jiangmian, it is unbelievable to let the Great Zhou royal family obey him without moving, and let him take what he wants. I don't know what kind of influence he exerted on the Zhou royal family when he was in Los Angeles to reach the level he is today.

First, the land of the small princes near Zhongzhou was given to the king of Zhao. And then there is the huge territory of Wei. As for the Yan State in the north, even if the Son of Heaven has not clearly issued an edict, in fact, most of it has already been included in the territory of the Zhao State. In this way, Zhao's influence has reached the sea in the east, the grassland in the north, Zhongzhou in the south, and the border with Qin in the west. Almost half of the world is under the control of King Zhao.

Fei Yi has a wide range of knowledge. As far as he knew, since the Great Zhou Dynasty divided the princes, for hundreds of years, there has never been a prince and king with such great power! And this young man, who created such a situation, is just in his twenties. So what kind of place he will go in the future, no one dares to imagine!

The royal court ministers of Zhao State were excited, and the people of Longcheng who got the news all took action and began to prepare to welcome their great king's triumph. At the same time, there was already a lot of disturbance everywhere in the world, and the eyes of countless people were fixed on the person with supreme glory.

On Huayang Road, the snow is clear. The red sun is rising, wrapped in silver, and it is particularly enchanting. In a majestic marching procession, Chu Jiangmian, the king of Zhao, stopped his horse's hooves and took the letter with warm handwriting.

In the distance, there are already familiar mountains and rivers in Zhao Kingdom. After a farewell, this is the end of the year. When he came back, everything was the same, but nothing was the same!
