The Qin Palace is majestic and magnificent. In the side hall where the affairs were being discussed, King Qin Zhenggao was sitting on the throne. Prime Minister Wei Zhuang on the right, Prime Minister Wang Wan on the left, imperial censor Feng Jie, as well as court lieutenant Li Si, Shangqing Yao Jia and other important military and state ministers were sitting on both sides of the hall.
A pair of eyes, all looking at the palace door expectantly. Soon, a tall figure walked in from outside the palace.
Wang Ben. Although this former battlefield veteran has retired from the front line and assumed the position of state captain. But the temperament of a general in him is not missing at all, his steps are like the wind, and he is full of power.
As Wang Ben walked in, the eyes of everyone in the hall were bright and full of expectations. Qin Wangzheng pursed his lips tightly, pretending to be steady and reserved, but in fact, his heavy breathing exposed his excited heart.
Just now, their monarchs and ministers were discussing state affairs in the palace, and suddenly they heard a military report from General Zhao from the front line.
It was a silk letter sent back from Qidi after thousands of miles. The content of his letter is so important that nothing in Xianyang today can compare with it.
The monarchs and ministers of the Qin State couldn't bear it anymore. Wang Ben, the state captain in charge of the country's military affairs, immediately left the palace to see the messenger.
Wang Ben walked into the palace, saluted, presented a silk letter, and said in a deep voice: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, General Zhao has captured all the cities in Qi."
"There are no more cities from the Six Kingdoms in the four seas!"
"We, the State of Qin, have unified the world!" As soon as these words came out, all the officials in the palace stood up and kowtowed to the King of Qin to congratulate him.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, our great Qin Jian destroyed the six kingdoms, unified all the Xia, and created a great cause that has never been seen since ancient times!"
"The world is united!"
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, Congratulations, Your Majesty, we have no rival in the Qin Dynasty!" Excited congratulations reached the ears of Qin Wangzheng.
Qin Wangzheng opened the silk book and looked at Zhao Tuo's handwriting. He did not get up in the hall as excitedly as when he heard that King Qi Jian had surrendered.
On the contrary, Qin Wangzheng's expression was extremely calm, and even the excitement of waiting just now was gone. He closed his eyes and muttered softly.
"Unify the world." King Jian of Qi surrendered, and the entire territory of Qi was occupied by the Qin army. Within the four seas, all the cities were planted with black Qin flags.
There is only one country in the world, Qin. The great wish of the ancestors of the Qin Dynasty to unify the world was fulfilled by his Qin Dynasty!
After a brief period of calm, turbulent emotions surged out of his heart. Qin Wangzheng's blood was surging, and his face was flushed with excitement.
"I have become the only king in the world!" He murmured to himself, and the figure of a young man appeared in his mind.
Zhao Tuo. Qin Wangzheng took a deep breath and suppressed his excitement again. He glanced at the ministers in the palace and said solemnly: "Now that the state of Qi has been pacified, Zhao Tuo is ordered to hand over all matters in Qi to Tu Sui, and he will lead the army to escort the three kings to the court."
"I am waiting for him here in Xianyang!" Qin Wangzheng looked out of the palace with bright eyes. He couldn't wait to see the young man.
...It is thousands of miles from Xianyang to Linzi. The correspondence between messengers took a long time. It was already half a month later when Zhao Tuo received the formal order to be a class teacher.
However, in this half month, he had basically arranged things for Qidi. The appointment of Qin generals who stayed in Qi, the appointment of officials in charge of the attached cities, the mobilization of soldiers and horses stationed in various places, and preparations for future migration events were all completed.
Outside Linzi City, black flags were fluttering. The Qin generals and Qin soldiers gathered here had excited faces and bright eyes.
The war is finally over. They are about to return to Qin and escort the prisoners back to Xianyang, Guanzhong to enjoy their glory.
"Brother Tu, I will leave the important matter of the Qi Land Migration to you. Please take care of me, Brother Tu." Zhao Tuo said goodbye to Tu Sui with a very solemn expression.
In his opinion, the matter of relocating the Tian clan is very important. If everything goes well, Qin will be able to use this as a starting point to move all the clan nobles of the six countries to Guanzhong, which will greatly improve Qin's dominance over the hometowns of the princes, so it attaches great importance to it.
Tu Sui laughed and said: "I know, just go back without worries. As long as I am here, there will be no mistakes in the custody. This time, you are the one directing the attack. You asked me to handle the logistics for you. I have been bored for a long time." He's dead. It's better if you go back early now, so that I can be the person in charge here, haha." Zhao Tuo smiled and agreed. Although Tu Sui spoke rough, he was very reliable.
In this battle against Qi, Tu Sui handled the entire logistics of the Qin army. As a deputy general, he was stationed in Puyang, transporting grain and fodder, managing surrendered prisoners, and disposing of the cities north of Jishui that had surrendered to Qin. Everything was done in an orderly manner.
Things at the rear basically did not worry Zhao Tuo. This time, Zhao Tuo was able to successfully capture the entire territory of Qi. Tu Sui's efforts behind the scenes were very important.
After the two said a few more words, Zhao Tuo stepped onto the chariot and formally led his army to leave. All the Qi lands were pacified, and the Qin army returned without hindrance.
They escorted the surrendered Qi officials, nobles, concubines and beauties, as well as a large number of Qi treasures, books and classics, etc., to Puyang.
Because Qi State surrendered voluntarily, and also wanted to set an example for subsequent migrations, the Qin army had a good attitude towards these Qi nobles, allowing them to retain their property and travel by car even if they were in a hurry.
In the autumn season, the Qin army arrived in Puyang. Here, they joined Yan Wangxi and Dai Wangjia who were escorted south from Dai, as well as some noble officials from Dai.
The three kings of Qi, Yan and Dai gathered together. Coupled with the large number of Qi's nobles, concubines and beauties, as well as the carts of treasures and property, they formed a long queue.
Depart from Puyang and head towards Guanzhong along Dongjun and Sanchuan Avenues. By winter, this large-scale team arrived outside Hangu Pass.
Entering Han Valley is the Qin land in Guanzhong. In front of Xiongguan, some of the captured nobles began to cry uncontrollably.
"The millet is separated, the seedlings of the rice. They are walking slowly and slowly, and the center is shaking. Those who know me say that I am worried, and those who don't know me say that what I want. The sky is long! Who is this?" Some Qi people sang with ancient poetry.
Zhao Tuo was born into a noble family, so he knew that this poem was about a former Zhou official who visited the ruins of Zongzhou and saw the dilapidated temples and palaces, so he lamented the pain of the country's subjugation.
Inside Hangu Pass is Zongzhou's hometown. Now these people probably saw Han Gu in front of them, and couldn't help but think of the destruction of their country and the loss of the country, so they probably vented their grief in this poem.
Zhao Tuo stood on the chariot and did not ask anyone to stop these people from singing. Instead, he looked back to the east. To the east of Hangu Pass, there used to be countless princes.
But now, in the vast land of Guandong, there are no longer the kingdoms of the princes, only the black flag of the Qin people is planted all over the sea.
"Qin merged with the world, and the troubled times ended." Zhao Tuo sighed leisurely. Today is October, the twenty-sixth year of the Qin Dynasty.
October is the beginning of the year, the beginning of a new year. It is also the seventh year since he came to this world. Destroy Yan, Destroy Wei, Destroy Chu, Destroy Dai, Destroy Qi.
He personally participated in the most magnificent historical events of this era. Qin united the world and unified the four seas.
"Tang Yao, Yu Shun, Xia, Shang and Zhou, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States were chaotic." Zhao Tuo recited the dynasty song that remained in his memory.
Zongzhou was destroyed, the two kings stood side by side, King Ping moved eastward, and the Zhou Dynasty declined. Up to now, more than 550 years have passed.
Five hundred and fifty years of troubled times. Countries conquered, the big swallowed up the small, the strong bullied the weak, merged with each other, and wars continued.
Although there are generals who shine brightly, celebrities come out one after another. Countless kings, generals, and schools of thought add color to the entire troubled world.
However, countless civilians were also killed, and the common people suffered from the disaster of weapons and weapons. When Li Shiqi persuaded King Jian of Qi to surrender, he said that the country had become ruins and the people were suffering from misery. This was not just talk.
Troubled times are the stage for heroes. It is also a hell for countless people.
"I personally ended the troubled times." Zhao Tuo whispered. He led his army to destroy the Qi State, which truly ended the more than five hundred years of chaos in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
It's the end of an era, but it's also the beginning of an era. Zhao Tuo withdrew his gaze and looked ahead at Hangu Pass.
"Enter the customs."
