Chapter 634 The Most Expensive Psychological Damages in History! The Beasts Return Home, and the World Is at Peace!
On the surging river, a large number of warships were rushing upstream.
Ying Chengjiao stood on the rear deck of the rear army wing, looking into the distance with trepidation.
"Report! The families of our soldiers have joined General Meng's troops and are sailing north along the Sishui River!"
"Report! The Qi army has returned to Linzi City. The King of Qi rewarded the army and disbanded the army. The soldiers have returned home."
"Report! The capital doctor Kuang Yong has returned to Judu and dismissed the army to preside over the autumn harvest."
"Report! Qi's foreign historian Chunyu Hu no longer continues to chase our troops and starts his return journey."
"Report..."
Military reports were constantly sent back to the wing, After hearing that the Qi army was disarmed and returning home, Ying Chengjiao finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately! Fortunately! The King of Qi is kind and never angry!"
After parting with the Qi army at the Huai River, Ying Chengjiao, feeling guilty, ordered Yang Duanhe to move the defense area to the Huai River area to prevent the Qi army from moving south, and ordered Meng Tian to lead 20,000 Zhao'an troops to retreat to Chengyang City to prevent the Qi army from moving east. Then he ordered his fleet to return at full speed to avoid being caught up by Chunyu Hu and being too embarrassed.
Now that the fleet has entered Neishi County, the Qi army has basically disbanded, and Chunyu Hu has also returned home. Ying Chengjiao is completely relieved.
Wang Jian's mouth twitched slightly: "The King of Qi can be so tolerant, this can't be explained by kindness."
"I think the king should have sent a lot of money and asked many important officials such as Qi Xiang Hou Sheng to cooperate, so that Qi could endure such anger."
"Chang'an Jun, you are really..." Wang Jian pondered for a few breaths before continuing: "Too much bullying!"
Ying Zheng had clearly agreed with Qi that Qi would give Qin enough benefits, and Ying Chengjiao would not take any soldiers from Qi.
As a result, Ying Chengjiao not only took away 50,000 soldiers from Qi, but also accelerated the fleet after receiving a message from the country, and continued to divide the troops, so that the Qi army soldiers and their families took civilian ships to the north in batches to cover up their own crimes.
To be honest, even Wang Jian felt that Ying Chengjiao was a little too shameless!
Ying Chengjiao said with a guilty conscience: "I have already told the King of Qi that I want to have a chat with him."
"But the King of Qi only sent an envoy to talk to you, and didn't tell me that he would send an envoy to talk to you."
"That alliance is between Qin and Qi. I didn't know about it and didn't participate in the signing. I want some psychological compensation for being expelled from Qi as the left prime minister."
"It's reasonable... right?"
This time, Ying Chengjiao grabbed the most urgently needed population and talents in Qin.
The meat is already in Ying Chengjiao's mouth, how can he let them run away?
Ying Chengjiao is reluctant to let them go!
Wang Jian asked speechlessly: "Now, can Chang'an Jun's psychological loss be repaired?"
Ying Chengjiao looked back at the ships and smiled brightly: "It's brand new!"
Wang Jian couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand, laughing and shaking his head.
Wang Jian really wanted to ask the King of Qi.
Your idea of using the power of Lord Chang'an to subdue the powerful families in the country and seize the royal power is good, but if you can't even subdue the powerful families in the country, how can you have the confidence to think that you can control Lord Chang'an and make him do whatever he wants?
I just don't know if the King of Qi will be satisfied with the current result!
"Master!"
The hexagram man suddenly spoke, pointing to the front and shouting: "There are messengers from the court!"
Ying Chengjiao stopped laughing immediately, and hurriedly stepped forward, nervously looking at the small boat getting closer and closer to Dayi.
Meng Yi jumped onto the big wing, smiled and bowed: "Greetings to Lord Chang'an!"
"Please accept the king's order, Lord Chang'an!"
Ying Chengjiao hurriedly bowed solemnly: "I am the son of Lord Chang'an, Chengjiao, and I will obey the king's order!"
Meng Yi unfolded a roll of silk cloth and recited in a deep voice: "Order!"
"The troops of Lord Chang'an, Chengjiao, will camp five miles west of Xianyang City, bathe and mobilise the troops!"
Although this battle had many twists and turns, Ying Zheng had already given the order to Ying Chengjiao's troops to mobilise the troops.
This means that the battle was a victory overall!
Although Ying Chengjiao didn't know whether he would be hit by a few more rounds of golden hooks and jade belts, at least the military merits of the soldiers were preserved!
Ying Chengjiao's eyes suddenly lit up: "Minister, obey the order!"
Taking the king's order with both hands, Ying Chengjiao hurriedly asked: "How is the king feeling these days?"
Meng Yi paused, forced a smile and said: "Chang'an Jun has returned to Neishi County, and the king is relieved."
Meng Yi seemed to have said nothing.
But Meng Yi seemed to have said everything!
——
September 23rd.
Sunrise (5:00).
Ying Zheng slowly woke up, glanced at the still dark sky, and asked casually: "What time is it?"
Zhao Gao ordered the serving maid to enter, and replied: "Just at sunrise."
Ying Zheng was slightly startled, and immediately got up hurriedly, opened his arms and let the maid change clothes, and said with some fear: "In another hour, my brother will return with his troops."
"I never thought that I would get up so late today, and almost missed the time to welcome my brother!"
Since knowing that Ying Chengjiao quietly brought back tens of thousands of young and strong people, more than 200,000 people and thousands of talents from Qi, Ying Zheng immediately began to discuss with his ministers how to appease the King of Qi and avoid the upcoming war.
Lobbying, bribery, buying and other methods, Ying Zheng and the Qin ministers thought about it and used it all, but still didn't feel safe.
So recently Ying Zheng woke up naturally around four in the morning every day, and it was difficult for him to sleep until five in the morning like today.
Zhao Gao said in a high voice: "Your Majesty has been overworked and worried too much recently."
"Now that Chang'an Jun has entered Neishi County, Your Majesty can finally rest assured."
As long as Ying Chengjiao doesn't return to Neishi County, Ying Zheng can't rest assured, for fear that Ying Chengjiao will go to other countries to cause trouble!
After all, with the current political structure and national strength of the Qin Dynasty, if it expands its territory rapidly, it may choke itself to death!
Now that Ying Chengjiao has returned to Neishi County, it means that the beast has returned to its nest and there will be no more accidents.
Not only Ying Zheng, but also King Xi of Yan, King Jian of Qi and King Qian of Zhao can finally sleep well.
Ying Zheng couldn't help but smile: "My dear minister, what you said is very true."
"Quickly summon all the ministers and follow me to the East Gate to welcome the meritorious officials of my Qin Dynasty!"
Lanterns gradually lit up in Xianyang City, and then gathered on the main road, finally illuminating the East Gate of Xianyang City.
Until the first morning light came, the light emitted by a large number of lanterns was still eager to compete with the daylight.
But no one cared about the dispute between the lantern and the rising sun, and everyone's eyes were looking to the east.
There, a large banner first appeared in everyone's sight.
Soldiers wearing Qi army armor followed closely behind, marching towards Xianyang City in an orderly manner!
If someone who didn't know about it saw it, they would probably suspect that this was a surprise force sent by Qi to attack Xianyang City!
Even those who had known about it for a long time couldn't help but laugh and cry when they saw this scene.
Han Cang laughed when he saw this: "You are worthy of being the Lord of Chang'an. As long as you go to war, you must earn something back."
"It just so happens that it is the autumn harvest season now. If these soldiers and their families can be quickly put into the fields, they will definitely help my Great Qin harvest more food!"
Wei Liao was very troubled: "The 50,000 soldiers that Lord Chang'an brought back from Qi are actually 50,000 elite soldiers, not just the 50,000 ordinary soldiers that Lord Chang'an said!"
"The money that my Great Qin uses to lobby Qi must be increased, otherwise, how can the King of Qi bear this bad breath!"
Ying Zheng smiled with relief: "You are worthy of being my brother."
"So what if they were originally the people of Qi?"
"Oh! Oh! They are all my Great Qin!"
Although Ying Zheng did not support Ying Chengjiao's approach, he also took the trouble to finish Ying Chengjiao's move for a long time.
But when he really saw 50,000 Qi troops stationed outside Xianyang City, Ying Zheng couldn't help but feel relieved.
As expected of my brother, his temperament is exactly the same as mine!
With his heart getting more and more excited, Ying Zheng took a step forward and shouted loudly:
"Kai!"
"Woo woo woo~~~"
The desolate horn resounded throughout Xianyang City.
The distant chimes beat out respect for the victorious soldiers.
The east gate of Xianyang City was wide open.
A series of flat cars carrying musicians and singing girls drove out of Xianyang City, lined up on both sides of the city gate, and let the music gradually drift towards the army.
"Boom!"
The passionate sound of war drums suddenly smashed into the elegant sacrificial music, but it seemed particularly harmonious.
But the roar of Qinqiang that followed crushed everything with unstoppable murderous aura!
"Wind!"
More than 10,000 Qin soldiers who followed Ying Chengjiao to the east first rushed into everyone's eyes, and quickly formed square formations at the east gate and lined up horizontally.
"Dong Dong!"
Another round of war drums was beaten, and a shout of killing with a strong Qi and Lu accent followed.
"Wind!"
Fifty thousand soldiers wearing Qi armor marched forward quickly, and quickly formed a square behind the Qin soldiers and to the right of the East Gate.
"Dong!"
The war drums sounded three times, and the Wu dialect and Chu song accents roared loudly.
"Big wind!"
Sixty thousand righteous men from Chu crossed the Qi army at a faster speed, and formed a square behind the Qin soldiers and to the left of the East Gate.
"Dong Dong Dong Dong!"
The sound of the war drums became more and more exciting. More than 120,000 soldiers who once belonged to various countries but now belonged to the Great Qin hit the ground with the handles of their guns, or hit the shields with their swords, and shouted hoarsely:
"Great Qin!"
"Ten thousand victories!"
The same words were shouted in different accents in Qi, Lu, Wu, Yue, Qin, Han, Wei and other places.
It was very chaotic.
It was very inconsistent.
But it had a charm that made countless heroes compete for it.
That is the charm of expanding territory and making the four seas submit to it!!!
Standing on the city gate tower, Ying Zheng's heart could not help but surge with blood, and his hands could not help but hold the battlements of the city wall.
These are my soldiers!
Ying Chengjiao, riding a white horse, stood out from the crowd, followed by Wang Jian, riding a gray horse.
Under the gaze of the army and the Qin monarchs and ministers, the two men dismounted ten feet outside the east gate of Xianyang City.
Ying Chengjiao bowed his hands loudly and shouted: "On March 21, the 13th year of the reign of Qin, the Chang'an Lord, Zongzheng, and Prince Chengjiao led the king's order to enter Qi, and on April 5, the 13th year of the reign of Qin, they were given the seal of the left prime minister of Qi and led the 510,000-strong coalition army of Qin and Qi to the south to repel Chu!"
"In this battle, I will follow the king's order to drive the Chu army back to the south of the Huai River, and even capture the entire territory of Chu and destroy the Chu ancestral temple!"
"In this battle, our army captured 283,504 enemy heads , 27 people above the level of holding silk were killed in battle, 152,910 levels of merit were earned, and 124,578 enemies were captured. "
"In this battle, our army killed the King of Chu and the Prime Minister of Chu!"
"Another 86,713 righteous men voluntarily joined the army because they admired the king's reputation and were loyal to the Qin Dynasty, which strengthened the prestige of our army!"
"Today, on September 23, the 13th year of the Qin Wangzheng, all the orders were returned."
"Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission, and I hope the king will be very happy!"
