Zhao Hanzhang nodded and said, "Tomorrow, I will pull out the two checkpoints of the Shi Army, and there will be grain and grass in them." ”

Yuan should be down.

Zhao Hanzhang instructed: "Let Wu Liang do this matter, your task is still to protect the two little princes, especially King Qin, don't let him die, and don't let him run away." ”

Yuan Li was surprised, "The envoy has a crush on King Qin?" But isn't King Yuzhang more suitable? ”

Zhao Hanzhang lifted his eyelids and glanced at him lightly.

Yuan Li was stunned and immediately bowed his head to admit his mistake.

Zhao Hanzhang retracted his gaze and did not explain the reason for choosing King Qin.

The two checkpoints left by Shi Jun were not difficult to beat, and when they finished fighting and turned around to return to Mengxian, Xun Ming followed the traces to catch up.

Zhao Hanzhang looked at Xun Ming with a cold face.

Xun Ming knelt on the ground and reported: "...... Lost tracks, went the wrong way, and missed the opportunity when they turned around and chased again. ”

Zhao Hanzhang: "On a sunny day, they fled in a hurry, and the ruts and hoof prints on the road were clear, can you go the wrong way?" ”

Xun Ming hurriedly argued: "Maybe the Shi army transferred troops to pass by a few days ago, so there are traces on the road. ”

"Can't you tell if it's a fresh mark or an old trace?"

Xun Ming lowered his head and didn't dare to argue anymore.

Zhao Hanzhang retracted his gaze lightly, paused for a moment before saying with a cold face: "Get up, when you return to Mengxian County, you will go and ask General Xun for guilt." ”

Xun Ming then remembered that he still had something important to say, and hurriedly said: "Assassin Shi, our general was seriously injured and unconscious, and he has not yet woken up. ”

Zhao Hanzhang's face became more and more cold, nodded, didn't say anything, and immediately took people back to Mengxian County.

The fires in Mengxian County have been extinguished, and even if the fire is extinguished in time, many houses are still burned down when the weather is dry.

The soldiers found many charred bodies from the houses, all of which had been burned after death.

In those days, the Shi army killed too many people, and those who survived hid everywhere before they even had time to bury their relatives, and the corpse rotted in the house.

A fire burned to the bones, and the rest of the houses that had not been burned were filled with the smell of rancidity.

When Zhao Hanzhang returned to Mengxian County, the soldiers were following Zhao Ming's order to clean up the bodies in the house, and there were still family members who survived, and the other party was interested, so they were handed over to their families for burial.

Those who had no family members, or who could not afford to bury them, were buried in corpse pits.

Ten large pits were dug in a meadow on the outskirts of the city, and next to it was a rice field that stretched away, because of drought and war, the rice fields were one in the east and one in the west, and it was clear that it was almost time to harvest, but the ears were on top, and when they touched it, half of the shells were empty.

Zhao Hanzhang watched the corpse being carried out, summoned a scribe, and asked, "Who is responsible for this?" ”

The scribe hurriedly bowed down and said, "It's Chen Changshi." ”

Zhao Hanzhang nodded and said: "Let him go to find some lime, wormwood, the whole city is splashed with wormwood water, and then sprinkle more lime, the weather is hot, whether it is soldiers or ordinary people, they are not allowed to drink raw water, go to the military doctor, and carefully prevent and control the plague." ”

The scribe responded, and after receiving the order, he ran to find Chen Changshi.

Zhao Hanzhang went directly to the county office.

Only half of the county government is in good condition, and the other half is still smoking.

Zhao Ming also moved Xun Xiu into the city, and half of the army was on guard outside the city, and only half was in the city to pacify the people and resume production.

Seeing Zhao Hanzhang, he breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly asked, "Did Zhixiong catch it?" ”

Zhao Hanzhang nodded, "I asked people to hang his head on the north city gate, and his body to hang on the south city gate." ”

Zhao Ming: ...... It doesn't have to be so cruel.

Zhao Hanzhang said: "Count, how many stone soldiers are still outcast, tell them, disarm and don't kill, as long as you surrender, I will spare them and give you food and grass to return to your hometown." ”

Zhao Ming: "Are you afraid that they will scatter?" ”

Zhao Hanzhang pursed his lips and said: "Mengxian County was seriously damaged this time, and there is not one in the city, and I don't know how many years it will take to resume production." ”

It is possible to relocate people from other places in large quantities to fill them, but for those who have died, the scars will always be there.

Zhao Ming nodded and agreed.

Zhao Hanzhang asked Zhao Ming to take a look at King Qin and King Yuzhang, and arranged for them to stay by the way.

As soon as he heard that Zhao Hanzhang had found King Qin and King Yuzhang back, Zhao Ming was in good spirits, and immediately ran to see people, and then came back and said to Zhao Hanzhang: "You should immediately set up a prince and tell the world." ”

Zhao Hanzhang also had this intention, and asked him to sit down after the head sat down, "We can't delay this war any longer, let's draft the will now." ”

She said: "Set up the king of Qin as the crown prince, order the world's soldiers and horses to come to help, this time, we will destroy Shile and the Xiongnu Han Kingdom in one fell swoop." ”

"Let Qiuwu return to Chen County immediately, and order the armory workshop to increase the production of explosives......"

"Wait a minute," Zhao Ming interrupted her and asked, "King Liqin?" ”

Zhao Hanzhang nodded, "Yes, King Liqin." ”

"Why?" Zhao Ming frowned, "King Yuzhang is the younger brother of the first prince, and his age is more appropriate, I went to see it just now, and he is also very well-behaved." ”

Zhao Hanzhang's ambition is there, although she needs a "gentleman" in front, but she will definitely do things in the future, even so, why not choose a young and obedient one from the beginning?

Zhao Hanzhang said: "King Yuzhang is weak and incompetent, has no own opinions, is too young, he will listen to me, and in the same way, he will listen to others." ”

She said: "I like an obedient king, but I can understand the pros and cons, and be obedient who knows how to advance and retreat, rather than listening to everyone's words." ”

Zhao Hanzhang felt that King Qin was better than King Yuzhang.

In fact, she doesn't look down on King Qin very much.

Zhao Hanzhang said: "Uncle Ming, you misunderstood me, my goal is not to be an emperor, my goal is to realize my ambition and let the world move forward according to my vision." If there is a king who can help me achieve my ambition, why should I be burdened with it? ”

Zhao Ming listened to her quibble, snorted and said: "My son Zhao Shen, after he was born, I looked forward to him day and night to be a humble gentleman when he grew up, erudite and open-minded, I taught him hand in hand, until he was fourteen years old, he did not become a gentleman, but went to be a ranger." ”

"It's a ranger, but in a certain opinion, it's a hooligan."

Zhao Hanzhang: ......

Zhao Ming continued: "Chivalry is forbidden by martial arts, like people like you who like to solve problems with their hands, not to mention that they can't get along with gentlemen, and they don't have anything to do with intelligence. Only the incompetent can be unreasonable, and finally solve the problem by force. ”

"You see, he is my son, and I have bothered to teach him so much that he has not grown up to be what I want, and you want a king who is exactly as you envision, and that is even more whimsical than a daylift."

So, what's the use of making such a high-sounding excuse?

In the end, you will do the work of abolition.

Zhao Hanzhang was choked to death by him, resisted the urge to make a move, nodded fiercely with a slightly red face, gritted his teeth and said: "Uncle is right, that is still the king of Qin." ”

Seeing Zhao Ming frowning, Zhao Hanzhang hurriedly said: "It's good that he knows current affairs, I like children who know current affairs, and I can spend a lot less effort." ”

She wants to set up a sign to dispatch soldiers and horses from all over the world under the pretext, but she doesn't really want to raise children.

Zhao Ming thought about it, but nodded and agreed, "Okay, then establish the King of Qin." ”
