In 223 BC, Qin Shi Huang appointed Wang Ben as a general and led an army of 200,000 to attack Yan.

In the following year, Wang Ben, who had swept away all the resistance of Yan State, received the order of Qin Shi Huang to destroy Qi State again, and Wang Ben led the army from Yan State to the north to attack Qi State.

Wang Ben and Zhou Xin continued to wipe out all resistance in Qi, completely destroying the Qi state in 221 BC, at which point the Six Kingdoms were officially destroyed, and the Qin state established its first highly centralized state.

……

In the palace of the Qin King in Xianyang, there is a celebration banquet, one is for Wang Ben to celebrate, and the other is to celebrate the completion of the unification of Qin, and this is also the largest reward meeting of Qin.

Qin Shi Huang was in the central seat, and kneeling in the two seats below were the greatest heroes of the destruction of the Six Kingdoms, including the old general Wang Jian who had been far away from the court, Qin Shi Huang was the first to speak:

"You are all the heroes who can unify our Great Qin, and I thank you here with wine."

After that, Qin Shi Huang raised his glass and drank it, and everyone below also drank a glass of wine, and then Qin Shi Huang began to remember the hardships accumulated by the Qin State for a hundred years, so that he now has the feat of unifying the six countries.

Next is the time of reward, first of all, the reward of the general in the army, as the father and son of the Wang family, the greatest contributor to the destruction of the five countries in the six countries, Wang Jian was awarded the title of Marquis of Wu, and the official worshiped the general; Wang Ben was awarded the title of Marquis of Tongwu, and the official worshiped the general.

Then there's the other people's bounties...... In the end, Zhou Xin was awarded the right chief, and the official worshiped the right general.

……

After the celebration banquet, Zhou Xin went to the Wang family with the Wang family father and son, and after arriving at the Wang family, Wang Jian looked at Zhou Xin, the only disciple he had received, thinking that his son Wang Ben gave Zhou Xin a high evaluation, and then thinking that he was about to return to his hometown, so he asked Zhou Xin:

"Xin'er, I will ask the king to resign and return to my hometown tomorrow, if you have any other requests, I can ask the king for the last time for you."

Zhou Xin looked at the old man who was about to return to his hometown and was still worried about him, as the best old man in the world to him, he didn't want to trouble him anymore, so he replied:

"Teacher, I don't ask for anything, I just hope you can live in good health."

Wang Jian laughed twice, accepted Zhou Xin's blessing, and at the same time told Zhou Xin to get married as soon as possible, and asked Wang Ben to help find a suitable partner for him.

The next day, Wang Jian entered the palace of the Qin Dynasty to resign, and after the Qin King symbolically retained a few words, he granted Wang Qian's request, and after Wang Jian returned to his hometown, the King of Qin completely let down his guard against the Wang family.

Immediately after that, the newly unified Qin State fell into a busy situation, and the ministers in the court were arguing about the future system of the Qin State, and the following began to unify the text, weights and measures, and the official arrangements in various places.

After everything was worked out and on the right track, Qin Shi Huang was often harassed by the Xiongnu on the northern border, so he summoned several generals, including Zhou Xin, and asked who would go to the north to stabilize the northern border.

At this time, Zhou Xin knew that the opportunity had come, and he knew that there was no chance to develop his own power when he stayed in Xianyang at this time, and he did not belong to the nobles of the Six Kingdoms, and it would be difficult to get support in the future.

So they took the initiative to stand up and ask for battle, and other generals such as Meng Tian and Ren Huan knew that the main force of the Qin army was now in Baiyue, and the north was also mainly defensive, and they also knew Zhou Xin's skills, and they didn't stand up after seeing Zhou Xin ask for battle.

Qin Shi Huang was not too relieved about Zhou Xin at this time, all of Zhou Xin's previous achievements were submerged in the brilliance of Wang Jian and Wang Ben's father and son, so he didn't believe too much in Zhou Xin's leading skills, so he said:

"General Zhou, I know that you want to be loyal, but ......"

And Zhou Xin also understood that Qin Shi Huang did not agree at this time, so he directly launched the skill of lobbying tongue, and saw that Qin Shi Huang suddenly stopped talking, at this time he had an idea in his mind to tell him to believe in Zhou Xin's ability, he won Wang Qian's true biography, and his defensive ability was very strong.

And Qin Shi Huang's behavior made everyone below scratch their heads, and after a while, Qin Shi Huang seemed to have figured out something, and then said:

"General Zhou, since you have won Wu Chenghou's ability to lead the army, then the task of sitting on the northern defense line this time will be entrusted to you, I hope you will not let me down, and don't lose your teacher's face."

"The subordinates receive the order, and the ministers will definitely not live up to the expectations of the king, nor will they lose the teacher's face."

After Zhou Xin took the order, he returned to his house and began to pack his luggage, this time Zhou Xin went to the north to take up a post, and it was estimated that it would be difficult to return to Xianyang before Meng Tian officially swept the Xiongnu in 215 BC.

Three days later, Zhou Xin led an army of 50,000 from Xianyang to the north to the border, and after a month's trek, he settled in the frontline city in the north.

After Zhou Xin officially took over, he began to send people to collect information about the small tribes in the north to prepare for his future conquest of various small tribes.

Three months later, Zhou Xin looked at the information collected by everyone about all the small tribes in the vicinity, among which the small country of Tu'an aroused his interest, and after flipping through the specific information of Tu'an, he found that its strength was the largest one in the vicinity, with nearly 10,000 soldiers.

Zhou Xin couldn't help but think of Princess Yushu in the play, he didn't mind marrying such a wife, but now, it seems that she is still a 13-year-old girl, and she feels guilty when she thinks about it.

Now Zhou Xin's everything is mainly to stabilize the border, as for subduing the small tribes, wait and see, this matter is not a matter of urgency, if you want to rebel, the most basic thing is to wait for Qin Shi Huang to die and chaos everywhere before there is a chance, otherwise there is no chance of victory in the face of the powerful Qin State.

The time soon came to 218 BC, and Zhou Xin had been stationed here for three years, during which Zhou Xin successfully defeated many Xiongnu raids in the south, and the number of Xiongnu killed had reached nearly 10,000.

In this case, Zhou Xin was loved by the inhabitants of the northern land who were ravaged by the Xiongnu, and also received a reward from Qin Shi Huang, which made some small tribes around feel terrified, and some were afraid that Zhou Xin had moved away from them.

And some tried to contact Zhou Xin, wanting to bribe Zhou Xin to help them develop and grow, but Zhou Xin's temporary reply was to ignore their internal affairs.

Zhou Xin also had the idea of going to Tu'an at this time, so he led the army to the Tu'an clan, and at this time, Tu'an urgently gathered all the troops to display when he faced Zhou Xin, who was known as the "butcher", and led the troops.
