After knowing the conditions of the Qin State, the six-fingered black man left. Ziyou headed towards Xianyang the next morning, it was impossible for him to fight the Nine Palaces Shendu Mountain on his own, and this matter was a matter on the rivers and lakes, and he couldn't use the army of the Qin State, so he needed to think long-term.

After fighting and cleaning up in the middle of the night, the Qin army took the water control the next morning, and Li Xindang ordered Meng Tian to lead the Golden Fire Cavalry and foot soldiers to surround Jicheng, and could not let Yan Wangxi go. And Li Xin led the army to clean up the prisoners.

Yan Wangxi just woke up from the bed of the harem concubine and heard the news that the Qin army was coming to the city, Yan Wangxi's first reaction was impossible, and he immediately wanted to kill the person who sent the letter. Why did the Qin army suddenly come to the city?

Jicheng has a natural danger of controlling water, and the last elite of Yan Kingdom is guarding the river, unless the Qin army flies over directly, this ridiculous idea has just formed in Yan Wangxi's mind, and he was awakened by the collision of armor outside the main hall.

"King, the Qin army is coming to the city, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are waiting for the king in the court!" Yan Wangxi's personal guard shouted loudly outside the main hall.

Listening to the voice of his henchman's guard, Yan Wangxi's face immediately became extremely ugly, his whole body was weak, and he collapsed on the bed, which frightened the concubines on the side and screamed in panic, and hurriedly helped Yan Wangxi up.

"What's wrong with you, King? Come on, come on, call the doctor! The concubine screamed in a panic.

Listening to the noise in his ears, Yan Wangxi immediately stretched out his hand to stop the concubine's shouting

"The widow is fine, tidy up the clothes for the widow and go to court!"

Yan Wangxi sat up from the bed again and said, under the service of the concubines and waiters, Yan Wangxi, who was dressed in robes, strode towards the outside of the main hall.

"King!" The guards came to Yan Wangxi's side and saluted.

"Well, send someone to prepare, once Jicheng has no hope, immediately open the secret passage and leave the Yanwang Palace with money and treasures." Yan Wangxi said in a low voice, when the Yan Palace was built, it took into account the preparation of being beaten to his hometown, and a secret passage was built in the Yan Palace that led directly to the outside of the city, and there was an underground palace in Liaodong, which was left by King Yan Zhao.

When King Yan Zhao, before launching a war against the Qi State, the King of Yan Zhao did not have the confidence, after all, the Qi State has been dominating for many years, although it has declined, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the King of Yan Zhao, who is not sure of the real strength of the Qi State, made a back hand in advance, and built an underground palace in the uninhabited Liaodong, saying that the palace is actually an underground fortress, and then the Yan Kings have repaired this palace to some extent, in order to prevent the Yan Kingdom from disappearing that day, and they have no place to hide.

"No!"

At this time, in the palace of the court, the ministers and magnates of the Yan State were full of panic and fear, and when they woke up, the Qin army was coming to the city, who was not afraid of this? Some ministers did not even attend the meeting, hiding at home and ready to run away.

"The king has arrived!"

After a courtesy of the monarch and the ministers, Yan Wangxi sat on the throne and looked at the ministers below who were obviously less than one-third, and there was no expression on his face that he was not sad or happy.

"Why did the Qin army come to the city so quickly? What about the palace guards? What about Yan Yi? What about Ju Wu? Didn't they confront the Qin army on the banks of the Zhishui River? Yan Wang Xi asked in a deep voice.

Manchu Dynasty civil and military, look at me, I see that no one dares to reply, looking at the ministers below who are like dumb, Yan Wangxi immediately slapped the table and roared

"Talk!? Don't you usually argue all day long? Now the question of the widow, no one dares to answer it? ”

"The Great King, based on the evidence. The soldiers who came back said that it was the general Yan Yi who surrendered to Qin and covered the Qin army to cross the river last night, so the water control was broken. The general of the Jicheng garrison stammered.

"What!? Yan Yi, he actually voted for Qin!? Yan Wangxi stood in place, he thought that the Qin army might be a strong attack, or use a strategy to break the water control, but he didn't expect that it was Yan Yi, who was trusted by him, who surrendered, and cooperated with the Qin army to cause the water control to be broken.

Looking at Yan Wangxi who was standing in place, the ministers below didn't dare to gasp, for fear that Yan Wangxi would sprinkle Yan Yi's anger of betraying Yan Yi and surrendering to Qin on his head. Although the Qin army came to the city, King Yan was still their king after all, and it was easy to want their lives.

The Jicheng guards were even more sweaty, and the whole person lowered his head very likely.

"What about Ju Wu? What about the Janissaries sent out? Yan Wangxi immediately shouted, Ju Wuhe sent out the Praetorian Guards was his last hole card.

According to the report of the soldiers who came back, Taifu found out about Yan Yi's surrender and took the soldiers to fight with Yan Yi, but at that time, the Qin army had already crossed the water, and seeing that the general trend had gone, Taifu rushed to the Qin army and was hacked to death by the Qin army's sword. As for the Praetorian Guard, they were all wiped out. The Keeper replied with his head bowed and panting, his face covered with sweat that ran down his cheeks to his chin and finally dripped onto the floor.

Hearing the news, Yan Wangxi's eyes immediately darkened, fell on the throne, looked at Yan Wangxi who fainted, the whole hall was in a mess, some people called the imperial doctor, some people took the opportunity to run away, and finally the prime minister stabilized the panicked people, on the one hand, he sent someone to send Yan Wangxi back to the harem, and on the other hand, he began to actively organize soldiers and people to defend the city.

Meng Tian looked at the tall and sturdy Jicheng, his face full of caution.

"The whole army camped on the spot, waiting for the arrival of the commander, and at the same time surrounded the entire Jicheng and checked the surroundings." Meng Tian ordered that they marched all the way, and they didn't have many siege equipment, and those cities were enough before the battle, but they were not enough in an impregnable city wall like Jicheng. Moreover, he led most of the cavalry, and it was not a wise choice to attack the city now.

Looking at the banner of the Yan army on the head of Jicheng City, Meng Tian flicked his cloak and returned to the army, and the defenders who were hurriedly organized at the head of the city immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and some of the people who were forcibly captured as strong men trembled and put down the bows and arrows in their hands, panting heavily, glad that the Qin army did not attack the city just now.

Xianyang, in the main hall of Zhangtai Palace, Ying Zheng sat on the throne, looking at the waiters of the Chu State who were meeting below, full of solemn momentum.

"Present the edict." Ying Zheng said lightly.

The waiter of the Chu State who knelt down below immediately took out the document written by Li Yuan to cede the land, Zhao Gao took the edict, and opened the document with another chamberlain and put it in front of Ying Zheng. Ying Zheng looked at the ceded city and the seal of the king of Chu written on the paperwork, Ying Zheng waved his hand, and Zhao Gao put it away.

"Have you brought a map and household register?" Ying Zheng asked.

"This is the map of the seventeen cities north of Juyang and the household registration of the people, and I also ask the King of Qin to take a look."

Taking the map handed over by Zhao Gao, Ying Zheng said after checking that it was correct

"Okay, since the King of Chu is so sincere, my Qin State is naturally willing to make a good relationship between the two countries." Ying Zheng said.

"Being able to get along with the Qin State is the blessing of my Chu State, and I still remember that when my Chu State was occupied by the Wu State and occupied the capital of Yingdu, it was Mu Gong who borrowed troops from my Chu State to help my Chu State recover successfully. Now the national thief Xiong Qihe is in charge, intending to rebel and subvert the Chu State, and it is the Qin State that sent troops to help my Chu King recover Shouchun. The grace of the Qin State, the Chu State is to remember the eternity. The envoy of the State of Chu immediately flattered and said, now that the State of Qin is powerful, the envoy of the State of Chu would like to flatter a few more words of Yingzheng.

When Ying Zheng heard the flattery of the envoy of the Chu State, he immediately burst into laughter, and the civil and military ministers of the Qin State also laughed one after another. After the court meeting ended, Ying Zheng summoned Lü Buwei, Li Si, Han Fei and Zhang Cang, and when everyone arrived, Ying Zheng told the battle situation of Yan State.

"According to the military report, Li Xin and Meng Tian have already arrived in Jicheng, but they lack siege equipment, and the battle line is too far, they are now a lone army, so the widow has decided to send another army into Yan, what do you think?" Ying Zheng asked.

Hearing Ying Zheng's words, the four of them immediately hesitated, in fact, they were not in favor of sending troops again, this year the Qin army has been fighting continuously, not to mention the consumption of national strength, just the emotions of the soldiers may have a disgust with the war, now that the Wei State is pacified, the war in the Chu State is over, there is only one battlefield left in the Yan State, the pressure of the entire Qin State has plummeted, and it is a good time to recuperate, but Li Xin has gone deep into the Yan State, if he does not send someone to respond, he will lose all the games if he is not careful.

"You can send people, but which army to send and who will lead the troops needs to be carefully discussed, the war has been going on for the past two years, although the treasury can still support another army to go on the expedition, but the soldiers also need to recuperate." Lu Buwei said.

"Father Zhong doesn't have to worry about the soldiers, the widow is ready to send the Yulin Army to the battle, in addition to receiving Li Xin, by the way, to deter the Zhao State, let Li Mu see the military might of my Qin State." Ying Zheng said.

Since the Yulin army attacked the Xiongnu in the north, it has been staying in Xianyang, guarding the palace of the king of Qin, and then Buwu and Zhongli followed to the battlefield of Wei, but they only experienced a battle of Kaifeng, and there was no problem in sending them to the battlefield at this time.

"This matter still needs to be discussed with the captain before coming to a conclusion." Lu Buwei said cautiously.

Ying Zheng nodded, thinking of Wei Yi, Ying Zheng asked again

"I haven't seen the Tai Lieutenant in the last court, what is the Tai Lieutenant doing?"

"King Qiyu, the Taiwei has been on leave for more than half a month, saying that he went out of the city to hunt a month ago, and occasionally felt a cold, and he has not recovered so far." Lees replied.

"Oh? Have you felt the wind chill for more than half a month? Zhao Gao, you take Xia Wuhe to help Taiwei diagnose the pulse, Taiwei has made a lot of contributions to my Qin State, if you need any medicinal materials, you must ensure Taiwei's body. Ying Zheng commanded.

"No!"

Looking at Zhao Gaolai's figure, Lu Buwei, Li Si, Han Fei and Zhang Cang all understood in their hearts that Yingzheng was sending Xia Wuhe and Zhao Gao to test Wei Yi. Wei Yi's true thoughts, everyone present knows it, and now that Wei Yi has not been to the court for half a month, it will naturally arouse Yingzheng's suspicion. How high Wei Yu's ability to lead troops is, they have all seen it with their own eyes, and they naturally understand what kind of enemy Qin State will face in the future if Wei Yu is let go.

"What is the harvest of cotton and Champa rice?" Ying Zheng looked at Zhang Cang and asked.

When Yingzheng sent people to leave him, Zhang Cang knew what Yingzheng was going to do, and immediately replied

"Back to Dawang, after accounting, the cotton harvest has become 123,600 stones, far exceeding the expectations of the Academy of Sciences, and the yield per mu has also exceeded our expectations. The harvest of Champa rice planted in Hanzhong alone reached 1.52 million stone of grain, more than twice as much as before. ”

Hearing that the harvest of cotton and Champa rice was good, Ying Zheng also nodded with satisfaction, and then asked

"The promotion of cotton has been determined, how about Champa rice? The widow listened to the report of the Academy of Sciences before, saying that there are many restrictions on the cultivation of Champa rice, and it cannot be implemented on a large scale, right? ”

"Yes, but according to the exploration of the two disciples of the Kanyu family and the farmer's family, a suitable place for Champa rice cultivation has been identified, which is enough for promotion." Zhang Cang replied.

"Well, that's good, the teacher is not in Xianyang, and the matter of cotton and Zhancheng rice is temporarily in charge of Zicang."

"No."

"How is the codification of the new Qin law?" Ying Zheng looked at Li Si and Han Fei.

"Now eighty percent has been completed, these are all after the implementation of the test, can be promoted throughout the Qin State, as for the remaining two percent is still being tested, there are some problems, the Tingwei Mansion is being modified." Li Si arched his hand and said.

"The part that is being revised has already been experimented in the local area, and when there are no problems, it can be incorporated into the new Qin law." Han Fei added.

Just when Ying Zheng was about to express his opinion on the new Qin Law, Zhao Gao hurriedly walked into the main hall, and Zhao Gao's panicked appearance attracted everyone's sideways.

"What's going on?" Ying Zheng asked.

"King, the captain ran away, the captain's mansion was empty, and the captain hung the official seal on the beams of the house."

"What!?" Ying Zheng stood up with wide eyes.

The others were also shocked, they didn't expect Wei Yu to run away now.

At this time, outside Hangu Pass, looking at the towering pass behind him, Wei Yi breathed a sigh of relief, he had been planning to escape for half a month, and now that he had successfully escaped from Hangu Pass, even if Qin Guo reacted, it would be impossible to catch him again.

The young man behind Wei Yi was looking at the military book written by Wei Mi, and his eyes were full of curiosity. The young man was met by Wei Yu when he fled, and when he saw the young man for the first time, Wei Yu knew that the other party was a natural military strategist, and when he learned that the other party was because he couldn't get along in his hometown, he went out to travel, and Wei Yu immediately accepted the other party as an apprentice.

"Letter, how did you read the book of war?" Wei Yu asked.

"The teacher's art of war is profound, I have only learned thirty percent so far, and the rest still need practical experience to improve." Han Xin put down the military book and said.

Hearing Han Xin's words, Wei Yi gasped in his heart, in less than half a month, Han Xin learned his art of war, even if it was only on paper, this talent was already terrifying.

"I know, you are a rare genius in the military family, so today you and I will separate the master and apprentice." Wei Yu patted Han Xin's shoulder and said. Wei Yi knew what he was going to do in the future, so he didn't want to implicate Han Xin, and Han Xin was his only disciple and the heir to his mantle.
