After the Qin army occupied the royal city of the Yue people, they entrenched themselves here for another three days.

First, it takes a little time to rescue the wounded in the night attack of the Yue people and the battle of Wangcheng, and to bury the corpses of the dead robes.

The second is to dispose of the corpse of Xiong Qi, who killed himself, so that it will not rot in the hot summer weather, so that the Qin army can be brought back to Xianyang smoothly.

As for capturing Xiong Qi alive, Zhao Tuo didn't have this idea.

Qin Wangzheng hated Xiong Qi's betrayal, and this hatred went deep into the bone marrow, so he would grit his teeth and say to Zhao Tuo: "The widow wants Xiong Qi to die!" ”

But at the same time, Xiong Qi is an old minister who has assisted Qin Wangzheng for more than ten years, and even has a blood relationship with Qin Wangzheng.

If Qin Wangzheng sees Xiong Qi again, his mood must be very complicated, and maybe after a conversation, he will be even more angry.

In this case, if Zhao Tuo captures Xiong Qi alive and lets Qin Wangzheng personally order Xiong Qi to be killed, wouldn't this add to the blockage of the king?

When you are subordinate, you must learn to share the worries of the leader.

Not to mention the thousands of miles from Yuedi back to Xianyang, most of which are the land of Chu, who knows what will happen on the road?

In case of an accident that makes the cooked duck fly, that is bad luck.

Only when a person dies is insured.

So when Xiong Qi begged for a sword to kill himself, Zhao Tuo readily agreed.

As soon as Xiong Qi died, Zhao Tuo's original promise to Qin Wangzheng was fulfilled.

He can finally return to Xianyang!

However, in order to ensure the safety of returning from Yuedi and facilitate the control of the Yue people, Zhao Tuo released the Yue King Wuyou, and took his favorite son Suchang as a hostage in the hands of the Qin army.

Soon, after Zhao Tuo dealt with the matter of the Yue people, the Qin soldiers lined up and stood on the way back.

Zhao Tuo rode on the war horse, looked back, and under the black flag fluttering in the sky, a pair of eyes were staring at him expectantly.

The war is finally over.

Fighters, homesick.

Zhao Tuo took a deep breath and said loudly: "Go back to Qin!" ”

"Return to Qin!"

The crowd shouted excitedly.

Whether it was Meng Tian, Shejian, Black Buttocks, Su Jiao, or every soldier of the Qin army, they all chanted excitedly.

Go home!

This is their greatest wish at the moment.

The long black dragon winds its way north, making its way back to its home in the far west.

……

Half a month later, Xingyang City.

The majestic Lang Central Guard surrounds the most luxurious mansion in the city.

One by one, they held their heads high, wore armor and swords, and guarded their kings.

Since the Qin army captured Shouchun, the king of Chu surrendered, and the war in Chu was decided.

Qin Wangzheng took his son Fusu out of the customs, came to Huaiyang, which was originally the capital of Chu, and received a visit from the ministers there, and inspected Chu all the way, calming the heart of Qin's pawn, and at the same time shocking the Chu people.

At that time, it happened to be Zhao Tuo's determination in Jiangdong and the news that he went south to chase Xiong Qi came back.

Qin Wangzheng originally intended to wait in Huaiyang, but unfortunately it was far away, and it took a lot of time to go back and forth.

As a king, Qin Wangzheng has too many things, even if he cares about Xiong Qi and Zhao Tuo, it is impossible to spend time here, so he chooses to leave for Xianyang.

As for Wang Jian and the generals, they still stayed in Chu and continued to pacify and conquer the places that had not yet returned to Qin.

Now Wang is passing through Xingyang and staying here for a day.

Even if it was only for one day, after Qin Wangzheng inspected the nearby geographical mountains and rivers, as well as the newly built Aocang, he did not choose to rest, but returned to his temporary residence and continued to correct and handle official business.

"King, there is a military report from Yang Duan and the general."

Zhao Gao walked in, smiled and presented a silk book from the front line, full of military information.

Qin Wangzheng took the silk book, and after reading it, he laughed: "Yang Duanhe has pacified Ludi, and now Huaibei has planted Qin flags!" ”

Zhao Gao hurriedly said: "Congratulations to the king, Huaibei has all returned to Qin, and if you want to come to Huainan to pacify, it will not take a few days." ”

Qin Wangzheng nodded, stroked his beard and said: "A few days ago, Feng Wuxuan had already led his troops to cross the river from Juchao south to seize the land of Jiangxi for the widows. The widow will also set up a county there, and put it into the hands of my Qin state. ”

"King Hexi, General Feng Dingjiang, so Chu will be in the hands of my Qin people, and there will be no more Chu country in the world!"

Zhao Gao hurriedly congratulated.

The so-called Gandi is where the Yangyue people lived in the past, adjacent to the Chu State.

After Wu Qi entered Chu, the Chu State was strong, and then "the south collected Yangyue, and the north and Chen Cai", the area controlled by the Chu people reached the end of the Ganjiang River, and built the "Limen Stopper" at the five ridges in the south, and the Baiyue of Lingnan looked at each other, which was also the southernmost place controlled by the crown belt countries.

In Zhao Gao's view, the Gan land in the south is basically inhabited by the Yue people, and there are few Chu people there, and they are all poor and weak. Attacking that place is a loss-making deal.

However, the Qin Wangzheng would never allow Chu to break away from the control of the Qin State.

Whenever this King of Qin looked at the map of the Chu State, he had only one thought in his heart.

It's mine!

It's all mine!

Even if he loses his army and consumes his strength, he will conquer all the Chu lands in the south of the Yangtze River and take them into his hands.

Qin Wangzheng couldn't help but think of Zhao Tuo's pursuit of Xiong Qi in the south, shook his head and said: "The Yue people are rebellious, and Feng Wuxuan is afraid that it will take a year and a half to pacify the land of Jiangxi." Zhao Tuo pursued Xiong Qi for the widow and entered the land of Yue, inevitably clashing with the Yue people there, and wanted to catch the traitor back, I don't know how long it would take. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Gao smiled and said: "Don't worry, the king, General Zhao is a young hero of my Qin State, who can break through the 100,000 Qi army, defeat Chu Yin Xiangyan, and pacify Jiangdong It only took a few days." Such a character will not disappoint the king. ”

Qin Wangzheng glanced at Zhao Gao and said with a light smile: "What you say is good, not only forgiving the heart of the widow, but also boasting about that Zhao Tuo." It's a pity that you don't know how to fight in the army, and you don't know what is difficult about barbarians, not to mention that Xiong Qi is quite wise, and this person joins forces with the Yue people, even if the widow values him Zhao Tuo. But if he doesn't have a few months, I'm afraid he won't be able to accomplish anything. ”

"I don't know if the widow will be able to receive the news from him when he returns to Xianyang."

As he spoke, Qin Wangzheng shook his head.

At this moment, a waiter outside the door came to report: "Your lord, there is an urgent military situation from the front line, it is said to be the news of General Zhao Tuo." ”

Hearing this, Qin Wangzheng and Zhao Gao, who were still talking about Zhao Tuo just now, were stunned for a moment.

"Quick, bring it in!"

Qin Wangzheng's face flushed slightly, and he couldn't help but raise his voice.

After Zhao Gao was stunned, he immediately stepped forward to take the encrypted military intelligence report from the hand of the inner servant, and turned around to present it to Qin Wangzheng.

Qin Wangzheng took a deep breath, stretched out his hand to take it, uncovered the sealing mud, opened the silk book, and after just one glance, his eyes widened: "Zhao Tuo...... This Zhao Tuo ......"

Zhao Gao's heart moved, and he arched his hand and said: "Congratulations to the king, I think it was General Zhao who broke the Yue army and captured the traitor Xiong Qi." ”

"Xiong Qi is dead."

Qin Wangzheng whispered, his eyes first angered, and then turned into a touch of sadness.

But then, it turned into endless joy.

Qin Wangzheng slapped the silk book on the case and laughed: "What a Zhao Tuo, the widow asked him to chase Xiong Qi, he not only pacified Jiangdong for the widow, but now even the land of Yue was conquered by him, and the king of Yue was defeated by him, and begged to surrender to my Qin State, hahaha!" ”

Zhao Gao was stunned.

He originally thought that it would be good for Zhao Tuo to catch Xiong Qi, why did this kid even beat Yu Yuedi.

"Zhao Gao, what you said just now is right."

"Zhao Tuo, he will definitely not disappoint the widow!"

Qin Wangzheng's eyes were blazing, and there was irrepressible joy in his voice.

Zhao Tuo conquered Yue, and the king of Yue surrendered and surrendered.

For Qin Wangzheng, this was a surprise, enough to dilute his mixed emotions about Xiong Qi's death.

Left in the king's heart, there is only joy.

Qin Wangzheng turned his head and instructed Zhao Gao: "Zhao Tuo wants to send the traitor's body back to the capital, and order Wang Jian to send another general, taking advantage of Zhao Tuo's subjugation of the Yue people, all in the land of Yue." Merge it with Wu Land to establish Huiji County! ”

"Yui."

Zhao Gao immediately agreed.

The establishment of new counties and the increase of the empire's territory.

Qin Wangzheng felt extremely happy in his heart, and at this moment, he gained a great pleasure.

At the same time, his desire to conquer the barbarian lands soared.

Qin Wangzheng whispered: "It should be like this, the generals of the Qin State should be like him Zhao Tuo, not only to win the battle, but also to lay a big territory for the widows!" ”

"Tell Feng Wuxue, just say that Zhao Tuo has surrendered to Yue. The widow is waiting for him to take the Yue people in Gandi. ”

……

With the Qin general Zhao Tuo crossing the river from Wudi, he embarked on the road back to Qin.

He was in the land of Yue, and the news of capturing and killing Xiong Qi, the last king of Chu, also spread all over the world.

The nest north of Gandi.

On the banks of a river, a group of fishermen are discussing the "big news" that has just arrived here.

"Have you heard that the king who was supported by Ling Yin before died, and it is said that he was beheaded by Qin General Zhao Tuo!"

A young fisherman whispered.

Another person asked curiously, "Zhao Tuo?" Is it the Zhao Tuo who fought against the water, defeated Zuo Sima, and killed Ling Yin in Huaishui? ”

"Who else but him, I tell you quietly. The person who fled from Shouchun told me that Shouchun City was beaten down by Zhao Tuo, and it is said that even the gods have issued a decree and said, 'Destroy Chu Tuo'! ”

"Hey, looking at it this way, the gods are really right. This Zhao Tuo killed the king, and really destroyed the Chu State! ”

Just when a few fishermen were exclaiming, an old fisherman not far away smiled "poof", shook his head and said, "Whoever destroys Chu, hehe......"

When the fishermen heard the laughter, they looked back and saw the old fisherman's appearance, and said in surprise: "It turned out to be Fan Jun." ”

"Why is Fan Jun laughing?"

"Fan Jun" saw that everyone asked, and was about to stroke his beard to answer, but suddenly saw that the faces of these fishermen changed greatly.

"Oh no, the ranger who asked for food is here again."

"Fan Jun" frowned slightly and looked sideways.

I saw a down-and-out ranger with a big beard, striding towards this side......
