No one could have imagined that the Eastern Expedition would go so smoothly.
Luo State had only one Zhao city and tens of thousands of soldiers, which lasted for three years.
The states of Yan and Qi combined had thousands of miles of territory, hundreds of cities, and millions of subjects, and they could not hold on for a year and a half.
None of the ancestors of these nobles had a rough road. They had to fight against countless barbarians amidst all kinds of difficulties and dangers to create their current foundation.
If there were not kings like King Qi who died in the country, the face of the Xia nobles who had made great achievements in the past would really be lost to these unscrupulous descendants.
The nobles of Yan and Qi returned to Xianyang with the Qin army. Wang Jian was relatively friendly to them, but the Qin army was very dissatisfied with these nobles.
Especially the nobles of Qi State surrendered too quickly. Fortunately, they took the trouble to come out and got no credit at all.
Destroy people's wealth and kill their parents.
For the people of Qin, the consequences of not being able to kill people or beheadings were much more serious than cutting off their wealth.
If Wang Jian hadn't reacted quickly, the Qin people with so much resentment might have taken action against these nobles directly.
Wang Jian didn't care about the life or death of these nobles.
Even a nobleman with such a noble status as King Yan still had to tremble and walk on thin ice in front of him.
But Wang Jian always kept one thing in mind.
Qin Wang Zhengcai had the power to deal with these high-level prisoners of war.
No matter what the King of Qin did after his administration, whether he killed him, exiled him, or supported him, it had nothing to do with Wang Jian.
What Wang Jian had to do was to safely deliver these people to Qin Wangzheng.
Xianyang, Qin Palace.
The King of Qin was very high-spirited in his administration, so what would happen without King Yu and Jiuding?
The two kingdoms of Yan and Qi are descending upon the wind!
Doesn't this prove that I have destiny?
While thinking, the eunuch hurriedly walked in, leaned down and said, "Your Majesty, the general led the army back, and first sent his son to bring the treasures back and present them to you."
oh?
Qin Wangzheng immediately said: "Let him come in."
Wang Ben held a package in his arms and walked into the hall with a look of joy on his face. "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to your Majesty. I wish you long life!"
Qin Wangzheng asked Wang Ben to sit down, and then asked: "Sir, I heard that the general has a treasure to offer to me, I don't know what it is?
Is it something in your arms? "
Wang Ben's face was full of excitement and he said loudly: "Your Majesty, this is exactly what I have in my arms. I found it from the family members of the former king.
This is a treasure given to you by God! "
Qin Wangzheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he had already guessed what it was.
The most famous treasure of Zhao State - He's Bi!
It disappeared with the fall of Zhao State in the past, and no one knows where it went.
Unexpectedly, King Dai took him away quietly when he escaped. No wonder even King Zhao couldn't find him.
At this time, even Qin Wangzheng couldn't sit still and said in a deep voice: "Open it quickly and let me have a look."
Wang Ben opened the package, and a jade that exuded a superb divine light appeared in front of everyone.
Even when he saw it again, Wang Ben was still dazzled, not to mention other people, who were directly intoxicated by the beauty of the jade.
How to describe it?
It seems to be white, with countless magnificent lines growing on it, but these lines seem to be in line with the principles of heaven and earth, making people feel majestic and calm at first sight.
The most miraculous thing is that the jade bis exudes a brilliant halo from beginning to end, somewhat like a luminous pearl.
The king of Qin has a territory of thousands of miles, and his treasure house contains countless treasures.
The precious jade in it is as numerous as the sand in the river, but all of them combined are far from comparable to the He's Bi in front of me.
The difference between heaven and earth, the difference between clouds and mud is not enough to describe how different it is.
Qin Wangzheng raised the Heshi Bi high and looked at it carefully. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it.
This is a real divine object. Qin Wangzheng has too many treasures. Now he only likes the unique and extraordinary natural wonders like Heshi Bi.
Looking at the flawless jade in front of him, Qin Wangzheng suddenly said: "King Yu lost his Jiuding, but got such a divine object. This is God's compensation for me.
I want to use this piece of jade to carve a seal that can represent the Qin Dynasty. On the base, I want to carve eight big characters - 'If you are ordered by heaven, you will live forever'!
Use this object to replace the Nine Cauldrons of King Yu and carry the destiny of the Qin Dynasty to be passed down to future generations.
Sir, what do you think? "
Wang Ben has been with Wang Jian for several years, so he naturally knows what to say now.
Immediately he kowtowed and said: "King Yu cast the Nine Cauldrons to suppress the Nine Provinces, you can do it with just one seal.
Your virtues surpass those of the Three Emperors of ancient legends, your achievements surpass those of the Five Emperors, and the three kings of Xia, Shang and Zhou are far from being comparable to you.
If you receive orders from Heaven, you will live a long and prosperous life!
This is the most sincere compliment to you. I would like to congratulate the great Qin Dynasty, and I would like to congratulate you for thousands of years! "
This extremely sincere flattery instantly made Qin Wangzheng feel happy.
Qin Wangzheng always believed that he was a unique person in the world, a person who was born to dominate the world.
Hearing this, he burst out laughing immediately, "Well said.
The general is a pillar of the Qin Dynasty. Your talents are not inferior to your father.
After the general returns to Xianyang, I will choose a noble girl of good character among the Ying clan for you to marry. "
Wang Ben was stunned. The unexpected joy came so suddenly. What he didn't get for his meritorious service on the battlefield, he got it with a few flattery words.
He couldn't help but think of what his father once said to him, "One thing that soldiers must remember is not to use their achievements on the battlefield to become an official.
Relying on military merit to reach the top is a thorn in the king's side and a thorn in the flesh. Unless he is a monarch like Luo, he will definitely face death in the end.
Military merit is used to leave a name in history. If you want to rise to the top, you still have to be a close minister of the monarch.
The king's power is unlimited, and a little leakage is enough to make any minister eat a lot. "
Now Wang Ben really feels it.
Fighting to the death on the battlefield.
If you lose, you will either die in battle or return to your country to be punished.
If you win, you will still be suspected by the king, you will not be rewarded, and you will be sentenced to death.
How can I be as comfortable as I am now, where I can get the daughter of my dream clan with just a few words.
The only pity is that the princesses of Qin Wangzheng are still too young, and the eldest one has not yet reached the age of hairpins.
If only we could wait two more years, one of the princesses would reach adulthood.
Why?
Wang Ben suddenly thought that he could wait another two years.
Immediately he knelt down and said: "Your Majesty's holy grace, I have nothing to repay.
But the six kingdoms have not yet been pacified, and the king's great cause has not yet been accomplished.
How can I take off my armor now?
This is not what a loyal warrior should do.
Please also ask the king to grant a marriage to my minister after destroying Chu! "
Qin Wangzheng was in a really good mood now, and immediately agreed, "We are searching for people who are good at carving from all over the world. I want to make a seal that is ingenious and beautiful."
When Wang Ben left, Qin Wangzheng played with the Heshi Bi in his hand and looked at the Kanyu map hanging on the wall, where was the outline of the entire Zhuxia.
Most of them have been occupied by Qin State. When the maps of Yan State and Qi State are completed, only the Jiangdong land of Chu State will be left.
Chu State cannot overthrow the world, this is certain, and unification of the world is already a matter of countdown.
The current Qin Wangzheng's mind is all about how to declare his destiny to the world after unifying the world without King Yu Jiuding.
A jade seal carved from a sacred object like He's Bi would indeed become a legend, but this alone is not enough.
The common people of the world cannot see it, and even the nobles and ministers cannot see it. How can they be frightened?
big!
Big is beautiful!
Qin Wangzheng had some ideas.
I am the master of ten thousand chariots, but the Qin palace is so small. How can I be worthy of my status?
All the beauties from the six countries gathered in Xianyang, and there was probably no place to live in the palace.
The road in the world is so uneven, how can I spread my orders to all places?
After Wang Jian returned to Xianyang, he learned from Wang Ben that the King of Qin's political leaders had granted marriage to the Wang family.
Wang Jian said nothing, changed into court clothes and entered the Qin Palace, "Your Majesty!"
Qin Wangzheng smiled and said: "After Yan surrendered to Qi, five of the six kings in the world have been captured by you.
Such achievements are probably rare since ancient times, right? "
Wang Jian directly covered his face with his hands, "Your Majesty, please stop teasing me.
The State of Yan was afraid of your reputation and directly killed the general, who was naturally a local dog and a chicken.
Qi surrendered without a fight, especially because your virtue is known to the world.
I borrowed your reputation and virtue, but added my own achievements.
Isn’t this the most humbling thing?
I also heard Quanzi say that you gave him a marriage.
My kindness is as deep as the ocean, and I really don’t know how to repay you. "
Qin Wangzheng smiled brightly, and Qi surrendered without a fight. This was of course because Qin was invincible and had little to do with the general Wang Jian.
What king wouldn't like the pleasure of sitting five thousand miles away and defeating others without fighting?
Qin Wangzheng laughed loudly and said: "If you want to repay me, then lead your troops to attack Chu.
Chu and Yan Qi are different countries, and I am afraid they will not surrender so easily.
Moreover, among the countries, Chu State is the strongest. If you want to overthrow Chu State, you still have to put some effort into it. "
Wang Jian nodded and said: "You are right. If Chu State had not been politically dim and unable to gather strength, it would not be as weak as it is now.
The troops needed to attack Chu cannot be less than those needed to attack Luo. "
The Qin army returned to various parts of the Qin State to start repairs and cultivate the land.
Two years later, Wang Jian personally led an army of 600,000 to attack Chu.
