Chapter 783 Welcome the King of Qin to His Faithful Handan! Bring Food and Drink to Welcome the King's Army!

July 12, the 14th year of the Qin Dynasty.

The diffuse morning light illuminated the Great Qin Xuandiao flag fluttering in the wind at the head of Handan City, and also illuminated the two overturned sections of the city wall that had been neglected.

Twenty thousand Qin army elites went deep into the streets and alleys of Handan City, swords unsheathed and crossbows cocked, eyes full of expectation as they stared at the closed doors, ready for battle.

One hundred thousand powerful Qin army officers and soldiers lined up outside the gate of the Western King of Handan City.

Starting from the West King's Gate of Handan City, one hundred thousand meritorious officers and soldiers of the Qin Army lined up all the way westward along the broad avenue, using flesh, blood, copper and iron to form the safest passage in the world.

Six miles west of Handan City's West Royal City, at the end of the passage.

Li Xin, Yang Duanhe, Meng Wu, Ren Xiao, Tu Sui, Su Jiao and other generals who have left their names in history gathered behind Ying Chengyu and Wang Jian, and formed a formation that would make every country and region in the world tremble. line-up.

Ying Chengyu spoke in a serious voice: "Send an order to Captain Xifeng that there must be no turmoil in Handan City."

"All nobles, regardless of their identity, will directly attack the mansion once the gate is opened. Capture first and then ask questions! If there is resistance, shoot without mercy!"

"Captain Xiao Tu is ordered to do a good job in security. All Guizhou leaders who come to welcome must check and verify again before arriving at the welcome area. Once someone who is not on the list appears, they will be captured directly! All welcoming people are only allowed to wear Anyone with a sword, crossbow, dagger, or armor will be killed on the spot!"

"The order was sent to Lieutenant Meng Nan..."

Even though Ying Chengyu had already made careful arrangements, he still couldn't help but keep adding details.

There's no way around it, Ying Zheng's Assassin Attraction Physique is really a headache.

And Handan City is a newly conquered land, so how could Ying Chengyu not be more careful!

Just as Ying Chengyu continued to rack his brains to enhance security measures, Wang Jian suddenly said: "Here he comes!"

Ying Chengyu suddenly raised his head and saw a group of knights in heavy armor leaping out of the horizon facing the rising sun.

Surprisingly, it was the police guards led by Liang Gan!

Ying Chengyu shouted excitedly: "Send the order to the whole army, cheer up this general!"

"Instruct all the generals and brave warriors from all departments to accompany me to welcome the king!"

In fact, there was no need for Ying Chengyu to give orders at all.

When the officers and soldiers of the Qin army saw the King of Qin's honor guard coming against the rising sun, their breathing became a little faster. They stood up involuntarily, with their legs together, their chests raised and their heads raised, their eyes full of joy. fanaticism!

And the soldiers of the Qin army who were selected to follow Ying Chengyu to welcome Ying Zheng were even more excited, their faces flushed, and their backs were straight even when riding on horses!

They rushed all the way to fifty feet in front of Yingzheng's chariot. Ying Chengyu took the lead in dismounting his horse, facing the five-horse cart that could be seen in the distance and shouting: "Qin Chang'an Jun, the commander of this battle, Young Master Chengyu, come with our soldiers."

"Meet the king!"

Wang Jian and other generals also immediately dismounted, and together with the soldiers who had the most outstanding achievements in this battle, they raised their hands and shouted:

"Meet the King!!"

When their voices reached the rear, more than 220,000 soldiers of the Qin army who had gone through bloody battles, destroyed the powerful Zhao, severely damaged the Yan army, and killed many people roared in unison:

"Meet the King!!!"

Frightened by this unabashed murderous intent, all the people in Handan City had to crawl at the feet of this army, and they did not even dare to breathe too heavily.

But Ying Zheng not only heard murderous intent in this cry, but also deep respect!

Ying Zheng stood up involuntarily, opened the curtain of the car, and looked at his army with joy and satisfaction in his eyes.

Feng Quji hurriedly whispered: "Your Majesty, Handan City is newly attached and is not yet stable."

"I advise your Majesty to stay in the carriage first to avoid being taken by thieves."

Ying Zheng stepped out of the carriage and said firmly: "My soldiers are by my side."

"Even if Handan City is full of thieves, why should I be afraid?!"

Ying Le also hurriedly advised: "Please also ask the king to board the carriage and enter Handan."

"Now that all the generals are arrayed in front of you, as a king, how can you go towards your ministers?"

Ying Zheng said casually: "I am a king, so it makes sense for me to do so!"

Seeing that the other ministers wanted to persuade him again, Ying Zheng continued to move forward without looking back, and said in a deep voice: "My dear friends, there is no need to persuade them again."

"My officers and soldiers of Great Qin have gone through life and death for Great Qin and for our people, and have repeatedly defeated powerful enemies."

"It is I who should pay my respects to the soldiers, not the soldiers who should pay homage to me!"

"My dear friends, please come with us for a walk, so you can have a good look at our officers and soldiers of Great Qin!"

Ying Le murmured bitterly: "This is inconsistent with etiquette!"

Yes, that's rude.

After all, Ying Zheng is a king, how can he walk towards his ministers with both feet?

But all the officials of Great Qin felt warm in their hearts.

Because there is no division between civil servants and generals in the Great Qin court, any minister may lead an army on an expedition. The treatment that Wang Jian and others receive today may also be their treatment in the future!

Seeing that Ying Zheng was walking very resolutely, and Li Si, Feng Quji and other ministers were also following closely behind Ying Zheng, Ying Le's heart trembled: "It's easy to be incompatible with etiquette!"

"Why should I, the Qin Dynasty, be afraid of being called a barbarian by other countries!"

"Comrades, follow the king!"

Seeing Ying Zheng leading the Qin ministers approaching, Ying Chengyu was a little surprised.

This is not in the script!

But it was obviously impossible for Ying Chengyu to wait for Ying Zheng to come to him, so he also led a group of generals and moved forward quickly.

Looking at Ying Chengyu who was walking towards him faster, Ying Zheng's vision was a little blurry.

The white, tender, and small figure in the past and the bloody, strong, and majestic figure in front of him kept interweaving and merging, and finally froze into a brilliant smile.

"Big Brother!!!"

Eighteen years ago, when the two brothers first met, Ying Chengjiao called out this name in a baby voice.

At that time, Ying Zheng had just escaped from the wolf's den and entered the tiger's den. He was highly wary of everything. Facing Ying Chengjiao's call, Ying Zheng's first reaction was to quickly step back a few steps and coldly ask who the visitor was.

Recalling the past, Ying Zheng couldn't help but smile and called out in a warm voice: "Brother!"

Ying Chengjiao laughed heartily: "I never thought that my elder brother would come to Handan in person!"

"This is really a blessing for Handan!"

Looking at the strange and familiar city in front of him, Ying Zheng said with emotion: "Eighteen years ago, I thought that I would never set foot on the land of Handan again in my life, and I didn't want to set foot on the land of Handan again."

"Once I left at that time, it was a farewell forever."

"I really didn't expect that in just eighteen years! Just eighteen years later, I will enter Handan again!"

"The reason why I can enter Handan again is all thanks to my brother!"

Ying Chengjiao smiled, but didn't say much, nor did he think he needed to say much. He just stood beside Ying Zheng, stretched out his right hand, and smiled and said:

"Welcome the King of Qin to his loyal Handan!"

Ying Zheng's heart suddenly heated up, and he laughed loudly: "Brother, go with me!"

Without getting on the car, Ying Zheng walked towards Handan City with his feet.

When Ying Zheng stepped onto the passage guarded by Qin soldiers, the two groups of Qin soldiers on both sides of the passage looked at Ying Zheng with respect and curiosity, shouting at the top of their lungs: "Greetings, Great King!"

This was the first time they saw Ying Zheng so closely.

And this scene will be forever engraved in their hearts!

The seeds of loyalty were also planted because of the close contact and strong sense of ritual!

Ying Zheng glanced at Ying Chengjiao and knew that this must be Ying Chengjiao's arrangement.

After glaring at Ying Chengjiao secretly, Ying Zheng turned his gaze to the soldiers on both sides.

When Ying Zheng saw the soldiers who were missing arms, hands, or even a leg but still insisted on standing on one leg, his voice became particularly gentle: "Thank you for your hard work!"

When Ying Zheng walked through the road guarded by the two groups of soldiers, the two groups of soldiers guarding the next section of the road couldn't wait but shouted in a particularly uniform and hoarse voice:

"Greetings, Great King!"

Their voices and momentum seemed to be more magnificent than the shouts of the previous two groups of comrades!

Ying Zheng kept a gentle smile on his face, looked at the wounded soldiers one by one seriously, nodded again and said in a gentle voice: "Thank you for your hard work!"

Walking forward and greeting all the way.

Under the welcome of 100,000 Qin troops, Ying Zheng led the Qin officials to walk through the six-mile passage with their feet and finally arrived outside the West King City of Handan City.

Ying Zheng, whose face was a little stiff, thought that the welcome ceremony should end here.

But what Ying Zheng didn't expect was that more than 40,000 people gathered on both sides of the gate of the West King City.

When Ying Zheng appeared in front of them, more than 40,000 people shouted in unison: "People of Handan, welcome the king!"

Ying Zheng was stunned: "People of Handan?"

"People of Handan will come to welcome me!"

Ying Zheng quickened his pace, looking back and forth at the faces of these people, and unexpectedly saw a few familiar faces!

Some of them were vendors in Handan City, some were eunuchs in the Zhao Palace, and some of them had been forgotten by Ying Zheng.

The only thing Ying Zheng would never forget was the same resentment and disgust they had when facing Ying Zheng in the past.

And today, these people were standing outside Handan City with respectful and flattering faces to welcome him!

An old man walked out of the crowd with the help of two young children, trembling towards Ying Zheng, bowing and folding his hands: "I am Zhao Biao, a native of Handan, and I pay my respects to the king!"

Looking at the old man in front of him with white hair and beard, Ying Zheng also folded his hands in return: "Hello, old man."

Zhao Biao said in a trembling but sincere voice: "The people of Handan have suffered a lot in recent years!"

"I have heard that Qin is becoming more and more prosperous. There are ways to increase production, capable ministers and generals in the middle, and a great ruler in the world!"

"I have envied Qin for a long time!"

"Today, the king's army has finally arrived. I am so happy that I will have no regrets even if I die here!"

Ying Zheng's heart was warmed again, and he smiled gently and warmly: "Old man, please don't say that!"

"Since you believe in Qin and trust me, you should take good care of yourself and see what this world will become!"

Zhao Biao nodded vigorously: "Since it is the king's order, how can I not obey it!"

"Kid!"

Taking a large wooden bowl from the child, Zhao Biao raised the bowl with trembling hands, and said sincerely and expectantly: "The king must be tired after coming from afar."

"It happened that my great-grandson hunted a deer yesterday. I took its meat and stewed it slowly for a day. Now the taste must be rich."

"I hope the king will not give up and drink this deer soup!"

Facing the expectant and uneasy eyes of all Handan people, Ying Zheng took the wooden bowl with both hands without hesitation, sniffed it closely, nodded and praised: "This soup is very delicious!"

Not smelling any irritating smell, Ying Zheng drank the soup in the bowl and laughed loudly: "This soup is very delicious!"

Seeing this, all Handan people breathed a sigh of relief, and they all bowed again without any agreement, cheering with gratitude:

"Thank you, the king, for not giving up!"
