Chapter 473: Important Mission

The surrender ceremony of the state of Qi was completed. The Qin army began to send people into Linzi to take over the city defenses of Linzi, control the palace of the King of Qi, maintain order in the city, and disarm the Qi army in the city.

Compared with the scene where Yan, Wei, Chu and other countries fell to the country, the Qin army immediately escorted its monarchs and nobles, harem concubines and treasures on the road to Xianyang.

The situation in Qi is a bit more complicated, and it cannot be handled in a one-size-fits-all manner. First, although the king of Qi surrendered, most of the cities in Qi were still in the hands of local doctors and nobles, and the Qin army wanted to pacify Qi as soon as possible, so it was natural to surrender and the means should be gentle.

Therefore, now Zhao Tuo has to save enough face for these surrendered Qi ministers and nobles, and cannot treat each other as pure slaves, so as to give an example to the Qi nobles who have not yet surrendered, so that they do not have to worry about being killed or losing their wealth after surrendering, so as to help the Qin army occupy all the cities of Qi as soon as possible.

The second is that Zhao Tuo was ordered to destroy Qi this time, and the destruction of the Tian clan Qi State was just the beginning. For him, an equally important task was immediately followed.

Even in Zhao Tuo's eyes, the importance of this task was no worse than the destruction of the Tian family.

"Chentian fake, meet General Zhao." Qi Xiangtian fake, kneeling in front of Zhao Tuo at this moment, panicked, and pretended to be a servant.

Now that the State of Qi is dead, Zhao Tuo will no longer call him Xiangbang. He smiled and said: "Tian Gong, please get up, after today, you and I will both be servants of the king, and we will also be people of the same country, so there is no need to be so afraid." Zhao Tuo in front of him had a gentle voice and a kind face, not the arrogant posture of arrogance as he imagined.

Tian Fake's heart suddenly let go of most of his apprehension, he mustered up his courage, and said with a smile on his face: "If you can save your life, it is the kindness of the king and the general." It's just that I don't know what the noble envoy said before, if we can persuade Qin to surrender, we can save the wealth and nobility......" Hearing Tian Jiao mention this key point, many of the ministers of Qi who surrendered behind him also opened their eyes wide and looked at Zhao Tuo with a look of longing.

They took the initiative to surrender, in addition to what the Qin people said could save their lives, it was also an important condition for them to still retain their wealth.

Zhao Tuo smiled knowingly and said, "Of course, since I agreed, I won't break my promise." Please also rest assured, and return to the city, pack up your belongings, and gather your clan family. At that time, you can bring all your belongings and treasures, meet the king in Xianyang, and accompany Qi Jun in Guanzhong in the future, and enjoy the wealth and wealth. Hearing this, among the ministers of the Qi State, some of them turned pale and said secretly: "Wouldn't this allow our people to move to the western land, and there will be no chance to return to Qi?" There are many people who think like this, but no one dares to say it, but all of them are grateful.

After all, their lives were preserved and their wealth was retained, and Zhao Tuo did not lose his trust. As a minister of the fallen country, following King Qi Jianxi into the Xianyang Dynasty to meet the King of Qin, this is even more deserved, and there is nothing to complain about.

They were submissive to Zhao Tuo and retreated in gratitude. Wait until these ministers of Qi return to the city under the supervision of Qin pawns to collect their wealth and gather their clans.

Li Shiqi smiled and praised: "The king's edict of Vaqi is really counted in one fell swoop." Zhao Tuo nodded.

As Li Shiqi said, the edict of the Qin State is not simple. First of all, the son of Hou Sheng pleaded and forced the Qi State to gather troops to resist, and the Qin State could justifiably get the excuse of cutting Qi, which is the so-called division is famous.

When the troops entered Linzi, Zhao Tuo was able to induce many people to surrender voluntarily on the condition of preserving the lives of these Qi ministers named in the edict.

If there was no edict, Tian Jiao and many ministers of Qi would naturally have to put forward various conditions and bargain in the face of the surrender of the Qin people.

After having that edict, the first surrender condition proposed by Tian Jiao and others was to save their lives, and at this time, Zhao Tuo promised to keep their wealth and wealth, so that they would not dare to open their mouths again, and even their will to surrender would become much stronger.

After the matter was completed, let these people carry their belongings and gather the clan to enter the customs together, which not only fulfilled the promise and showed the trustworthiness of the Qin army, but also paved the way for Zhao Tuo to do a big thing next.

He wants to move the Tian Qi clan of Qi to Xianyang! Under normal circumstances, if you want to uproot the Tian Qi clan that has been entrenched in the Qi land for hundreds of years, this task is, to some extent, even more difficult than the destruction of the Qi country.

If this kind of thing is done slowly after reunification, it will be difficult to clean it up in one go due to the weak power of Qin in Shandong.

But now, Zhao Tuo carries the power of destroying Qi, relying on more than 100,000 Qin troops on his side, and threatening each other, he can use the power of thunder to do this great thing.

And Tian Jiao and other ministers of Qi and the nobles of the Qi State meekly moved westward, which set an example for the remaining Qi land and fields, which could weaken their resistance to the ground.

With a two-pronged approach, things will get things done smoothly. At this time, the Qin army completely controlled Linzi and ensured the safety of the city.

Zhao Tuo walked into the magnificent capital under the siege of Li Shiqi and the short soldiers.

"The city of Linzi is really the capital of the world, and it is the best in the sea." Zhao Tuo walked on Linzi Avenue, glanced at the appearance of this city, and sighed as he walked.

When he arrived at the palace of King Qi, he was even more surprised by the palace full of treasures and splendor.

"It's a pity that the five kingdoms invaded Qi before, Linzi fell, and most of the treasures in the Qi Palace were looted by the Yan people, otherwise the number of treasures in this palace would have increased many times." Zhao Tuo sighed, but after thinking about it, although the Yan Kingdom looted many treasures from Qi back then, but in the end, the Yan Kingdom died at the hands of the Qin army, and the treasures that the Yan people snatched from the Qi palace finally fell into the hands of the Qin people after turning around.

Zhao Tuo shook his head, it was really the right thing he said.

"Yan Zhaozhi's collection, Han Wei's management, Qi Chu's elite, several generations, plundered his people, leaning on a mountain. Once you can't have it, you lose in the meantime. "The treasures accumulated by the Six Kingdoms for hundreds of years are all owned by the Qin people to this day.

It will become the decoration of the Xianyang Palace, showing the great cause of Qin Wangzheng to dominate the world.

"Distribute part of the treasury money to the soldiers according to their merits. The treasures and playthings of the Qi Palace are all sealed in the box, and the concubines and women in the palace cannot be bullied. When the count was complete, they sent someone to escort them west. Zhao Tuo also came up from the bottom, he knew the thoughts of the lower-level soldiers, arranged all kinds of matters, and tried his best to make everyone in the army get rewarded and satisfy the morale of the army.

Walking all the way between the Qi Palace, Zhao Tuo finally stopped in front of a building that was still burning with flames. Although many people tried to extinguish the fire, the fire was still fierce in the wind.

"General, this is where the Tian clan temple is located, it is said that Tian Dan took advantage of the time when the king of Qi came out to surrender, entered it, and died of self-immolation." The air smells of burning, and the wind fills the air with smoke and dust.

Zhao Tuo sighed in his heart. Tian Dan. When the great Sima Tian Chong surrendered in Zhencheng, one of the requests made to Zhao Tuo was to let Tian Dan leave.

Tian Chong's thoughts, Zhao Tuo knew, was nothing more than to reserve a general who had been on the battlefield for the Qi State, and to reserve the last glimmer of hope for the survival of the Qi State.

He didn't care, because the general trend had already been set, and it was not something that could be changed by simply one or two people.

"The loyal ministers want to fight to the death, but the king surrenders first."

"Tian Dan burned the heavy weapons of the temple, self-immolated and died, and was martyred for the Qi country, and he was also a loyal man. After the fire is extinguished, if its body can be found, it should be buried on the side of Linzi City. Zhao Tuo sighed and ordered to go down.

He turned his head and saw a lean man walking towards him after being searched by his own short soldiers. This is the leader of the Qin State in Qi, and he has passed a lot of useful information to the Qin army.

"Chen Chi, meet General Zhao." Chen Chi bowed down with a respectful posture. Zhao Tuo nodded and said: "Get up, it is equivalent to the activities in Linzi City, passing on a lot of useful information, finding convenience for our operations, and this time I strongly persuade Tian Jiao and others to surrender, when there is a great merit, when they return to China in the future, there will be a reward." Chen Chi hurriedly said: "The general praises." As he spoke, he respectfully took out several scrolls of silk books.

"General, this is the list of the great sects of the Zhongtian clan in Linzi City that we have collected, as well as the names of the powerful nobles who are inclined to our Qin State and can support."

"Very good, this is also a great achievement." Zhao Tuo praised it, and Lishang stepped forward to take it. Zhao Tuo opened a silk book, looked at the name on it, and bowed slightly.

This is the task of the people of the Qin State in Linzi, responsible for finding out the Zhongtian clan in Linzi City, and when the great migration comes, those strong clans will be wiped out.

At the same time, some pro-Qin clans were supported to take the throne to help the Qin State control Qi land faster. It's just that before doing this, Zhao Tuo has two more important things to do.

"I should write a letter to report the news that the king of Qi in Xianyang has fallen, so that the king will be happy."

"Li Shang, pass on my military order again, and order Meng Tian, Shejian, Zhao Guang and other leading troops to carry the edict of the King of Qi to persuade them to surrender, divide the cities of Qi, and take the entire territory of Qi State!"
