Chapter 963 He Called Me a Hero, so I Marched in Front of the King! So You Guys Are Going to Play Me, Right?
March 1st, the 16th year of the Qin Dynasty.
Dark clouds surged over Daichi.
Above Xianyang, it is cloudless.
So much so that Xianyang City ushered in the rising sun earlier than Yu County.
But the rising sun was still too weak to compete with the lanterns and candles hanging all over Xianyang City.
On the east gate of Xianyang City, Ying Zheng clasped his hands behind his back and looked far into the distance.
Lu Buwei, Wei Zhuang, and Wei Liao gathered around Yingzheng, and the nine ministers of Qin Dynasty accompanied him on the right side of Yingzheng in turn. Li Ke and Mao Sui led the envoys of Yan and Dai on the left side of Yingzheng, with more than 100,000 people. The people of Xianyang stood at the feet of Ying Zheng and waited in the opposite direction under the command of the defenders.
"The earth is shaking! Our army is back!"
"Look! It's our army's great banner!"
"Have Miao'er's eyebrows been painted? Go and paint them quickly! There are only two kingdoms of Dai and Yan left in the world. In the future, there will be fewer and fewer soldiers who can destroy the country. We must let Miao'er seize this opportunity. , choose a good man!”
A large banner and the rising sun leap out of the horizon together.
The increasingly bright sunshine finally suppressed the firelight in Xianyang City, and even illuminated the bronze helmets and armors with a dazzling golden light.
The sound of neat and powerful footsteps was like war drums, making the entire Xianyang City boil!
Looking at the vanguard troops who were holding Qin Army flags but still wearing Qi Army uniforms, Ying Zheng was a little dumbfounded. He pointed his finger in the direction of the banner and laughed and cursed: "Have you ever lacked the cloth uniforms of your brother Wang?"
"Unexpectedly, the righteous soldiers who surrendered to Qin from Qi are still wearing Qi army armor. Isn't it that the king is afraid that the world will not know that we, Qin, have soldiers from Qi?!"
Han Cang couldn't stop smiling: "We will lead more than 100,000 Qi youths into Neishi County without any forced conquest."
"As expected of Lord Chang'an, who will never go out of his way once he goes on an expedition!"
"If we can get these young men, Neishi County will be able to grow more food this year!"
Wei Liao also said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Chang'an is naturally afraid that the people in the world will not know that I, the Qin Dynasty, have lost the Qi soldiers."
"Mr. Chang'an just wants everyone in the world to see with their own eyes that it is not our Great Qin that destroys Qi, but that everyone's hearts turn towards our Great Qin."
"Even if they don't change their uniforms, change their armor, and don't hand over their weapons, the Qi soldiers are still willing to follow Chang'an Lord and our Great Qin with all their heart!"
"This will not only weaken the brutal and brutal image of our Great Qin, boost our Great Qin's prestige, and set an example for other countries' soldiers, but it will also give the former Qi soldiers who return to Qin a sense of honor and responsibility, making it less likely to betray our Great Qin."
"It is truly a blessing from heaven to be able to have such a minister who can destroy the enemy's country if we advance and uphold the righteousness of retreating and serve the king!"
"I would like to congratulate the great king! I would like to congratulate the great Qin!"
Li Si glanced at Wei Liao speechlessly.
What you said are all my words!
Li Si could only immediately echo and shout: "Congratulations to the great king! Congratulations to the great Qin!"
The remaining ministers also reacted and hurriedly shouted in unison: "Congratulations to the great king! Congratulations to the great Qin!"
Listening to the shouts of the Qin ministers, Li Ke's eyes were full of strong excitement and pride. Mao Sui frowned slightly, his eyes full of concern, and Lu Buwei looked at Wei Liao, Wei Zhuang and other ministers with extremely resentful eyes. .
Congratulations to the king?
This group of traitors betrayed the conservative camp!
You will definitely be bald by the documents!
It's a pity that Lu Buwei's resentful eyes could not cool down the heated atmosphere.
Ying Zheng nodded happily and said, "What you all said is true!"
"Brother Wang's move is not only faultless, but actually meritorious!"
"Pass the widow's order!"
"The soldiers who welcome our great Qin's triumphant victory."
"Kai!"
"Woooooo~~~"
The desolate horn sound suddenly resounded through Xianyang City, and flat carts carrying musicians and dancers drove out of Xianyang City, showing their respect for the soldiers and soothing their hearts with the distant and beautiful music.
"Boom!"
The war drums beat, and the 200,000 Qin troops in Guanzhong and the more than 120,000 old Qi soldiers boosted their morale and roared with murderous intent:
"wind!"
"wind!"
"Gale!"
While shouting and shouting, three old Qi generals, Xue Liang, Tang Jiu and Lu Shao, took the lead and led their old Qi soldiers and horses to rush to the north of the east gate tower of Xianyang City. After a brief reorganization, they formed the basic infantry phalanx of Qi State and marched neatly. The pace is from north to south.
When he reached the bottom of the city gate tower, Xue Liang straddled his horse, turned his upper body to Ying Zheng, and suddenly raised his hands, shouting: "Greetings to the king!"
Behind Xue Liang, 40,000 Qi troops marched forward, shouting in unison: "Meet the king!"
When Ying Zheng saw this, he smiled and said, "My brother, I am still a child at heart after all, and I always like to do such flashy things."
"I have repeatedly advised Brother Wang not to do this, but Brother Wang said what this is..."
"A sense of ceremony!"
While laughing and talking about his troubles with Mao Sui and Li Ke, Ying Zheng unconsciously took two steps forward, raised his hands and shouted: "I have seen all the righteous men!"
Therefore, the Qi soldiers could not help showing excited smiles on their faces.
The King of Qin did not call us prisoners or surrendered soldiers, but called us righteous soldiers!
In this case, can we enjoy the preferential treatment of righteous men instead of the harsh treatment of surrendered soldiers?
For a moment, Xue Liang's old Qi soldiers straightened their waists and raised their necks higher. Their eyes were full of joy and excitement. They wished they could chop off Ying Zheng's head on the spot to add to the fun, but they could only do so. Kick the goose step louder and show their loyalty to Ying Zheng with a loud sound.
Tang Jiu's troops who followed closely behind still had a chance. They walked as neatly as if measured by a ruler and shouted excitedly: "Meet the King!"
Mao Sui took two steps forward in disbelief. Looking at the military formation under his feet, which looked horizontal, vertical, or diagonal, he was shocked and whispered: "This is really the reason." General Qi?"
When we allied with our country to attack Qin, you were timid and lazy in fighting, and ran away immediately at the slightest disobedience. Although your strength was twice that of the Yan army, your combat effectiveness was equal to that of the Yan army.
When you came under the command of my great lord Wu An, you had a strong personality and refused to obey discipline. You were reluctant to even use a weapon. If the discipline was stricter, you would become a deserter.
Now that we belong to the Qin army, you are not only willing to unify the weapons, but also unify the steps, postures, and movements. There is no laziness or unwillingness on your face, only excitement and excitement.
If you co-write, you will play my role as the eldest, right?
Ying Zheng looked at Mao Sui squarely and said seriously: "These are our soldiers of Great Qin!"
Ying Zheng seemed not to answer Mao Sui's question, but just said something to win over the hearts of the old Qi soldiers.
But Mao Sui knew that Ying Zheng had already given the answer.
They may have been weak when they were the Qi army, but now, they are the soldiers of Qin!
Mao Sui unconsciously looked outside the city and saw the man who came with Chaoyang and made all the old Qi soldiers feel like they had been given a new lease of life.
Surrounded by 200,000 Qin troops, Ying Chengyu, riding a white horse, stood out, followed closely by Meng Wu, Yang Duanhe, and Wang Ben.
Facing the gazes of the Qin monarchs and thousands of soldiers and civilians, Ying Chengyu turned over and dismounted ten feet outside the east gate of Xianyang City.
Looking up at Ying Zheng who was standing on the city gate, Ying Chengyu still maintained the seriousness of a general on his face, but a smile appeared in his eyes. He raised his hands and shouted: "Master Zong Zheng of the Great Qin Dynasty, Mr. Cheng Yu accepted the order of the king and led General Wu, General Duanhe, and General Bi to resist the invasion and defend the country with more than 900,000 soldiers!"
"On the twentieth day of the tenth month of the sixteenth year of the reign of King Qin, I defeated the enemy at the place of Dukang."
"On December 2, General Duanhe led an army of more than 138,000 people south to Pingyuanjin to attack Qi's Gaotang."
"On December 7, General Ben led more than 413,000 Paoze to launch a counterattack in the Dukang area. He captured the Dukang area in the north and captured the cities, thus protecting our Daqin border."
"On December 10, I led an army of 200,000 people south to the Qi territory. I got the Qi people to eat pots of pulp, and the Qi army bundled up their weapons and rolled their armor to meet them. Without sending a single soldier, the entire territory of Qi returned to Qin!"
"In this battle, my troops, together with General Jiangwu and General Duanhe, beheaded 317,608 enemies and captured 155,866 enemies. Paoze died in the battle. Seventy-three thousand, 81,503 were seriously injured, and the first achievement was 247,577."
"We also killed Qi Army General Chun Yuhuang and five other Qi Army generals and above, Yan Shangqing Qi Bao and other eleven people who were Yan Duwei and above, and Dai Du Wei Ma Fu Bao and other two people who were Dai Du Wei and above."
"We also captured the King of Qi, Xiang Sheng of Qi, Taishi Xun of Qi, and other 21 people of Qi State's ministers and above, and 183 officials and above, and captured the Qi army generals Xue Liang, Tang Jiu, and Lu Shao, as well as the old Qi soldiers. One hundred and twenty-two thousand one hundred and fifty-six people voluntarily surrendered to Qin!"
"Today, on the first day of March in the sixteenth year of the reign of King Qin, all orders are returned."
"Fortunately, I have fulfilled my destiny. I hope the king will be happy!"
