"Brothers, Zhang Han's head has been beheaded. Let's surrender to the Qin army!" the general who defended the city shouted while planting the white flag.

The city gate has been broken. No matter how hard the Zhengzhou army resists, it is useless.

"Lord Zhou Mu is dead...surrender...surrender!"

All the soldiers were at a loss, but under the pressure of the Qin army, they finally put down their weapons and stopped resisting.

"hiss!"

Liu Wenqin followed, led his troops on horseback, and entered Zhengzhou City. Immediately! Then he led his army and marched towards the city.

"Surround everyone inside and outside the city, arrest Zhang Han's family, young and old, and put them all in jail." Liu Wenqin ordered.

"promise!"

Give orders and take orders.

Zhang Yi said: "General, please follow me into the mansion."

Zhang Yi dismounted.

Liu Wenqin paused for a moment, then dismounted and followed Zhang Yi into the mansion to take a look.

"General, does he know where Zhang Han's treasury is?" Zhang Yi asked.

Liu Wenqin said: "Isn't the treasury in charge of the government treasury?"

hehe!

Zhang Yi couldn't help laughing and shook her head, "The general doesn't know something! The government treasury is naturally where Zhengzhou's money and grain are stored, but not all of it."

"Zhengzhou has had good weather in the past few years, and crops and other crops have been quite harvested. As a state herdsman, Zhang Han naturally puts his own interests first and has secretly embezzled a lot."

oh!

A little surprise flashed across Liu Wenqin's face. He set off from Beiliang and entered Zhengzhou to capture the city. Every time he entered a city, he gained a general understanding of the lives of the people. The life of the people in Zhengzhou is not too difficult.

"How do you know, sir?"

Zhang Yi continued: "I have served under Zhang Han for two years. In order to make suggestions, I naturally know Zhang Han's secret."



"No need to say anything general, please come with me!"

Zhang Yi took the lead and led the way.

as expected! Zhang Han really had a small treasury, and Liu Wenqin led his men to plunder one million taels of silver, three hundred thousand taels of gold, and countless treasures.

With so many things, Zhang Han is quite corrupt, isn't he?

Moreover, after taking the city of Zhengzhou, the Zhengzhou treasury also captured a lot of food and grass.

really! Isn't it true that the saying "making a fortune from war" is absolutely correct? With these things, Qin's strength will be further improved.

"This attack on Zhengzhou City owes a great deal to you. I will write a letter now and submit it to the king so that he can use you again." Liu Wenqin said respectfully.

But now! Zhang Yi shook his head and said: "The king is far away in Dingzhou now, and it is too early to appoint him. The general can write a letter to write down the affairs of this place more clearly. As for serving the king. "

"I think it's a little premature, so I asked Zhang Yi to make suggestions for the general. After the commander returns to the court, it won't be too late for the general to recommend him."

this……

Liu Wenqin thought for a while and agreed, "In that case, I won't say more."

Zhang Yi asked again: "The general has now captured the city of Zhengzhou, but half of Zhengzhou has not yet been captured. I am afraid! King Chen will take advantage of it and get a piece of Zhengzhou's cake."

"The top priority is to send a general to recover half of Zhengzhou as soon as possible."

Half of Zhengzhou has dozens of cities!

"Um!"

Liu Wenqin nodded.

"Send an order to Wang Jian and order him to lead an army of ten thousand to capture the remaining cities in Zhengzhou."

"Send an order to Wang Wu and order him to lead five thousand cavalry to station directly at the border of Zhengzhou and Jingzhou to prevent soldiers and horses from Jingzhou from taking advantage of the situation."

"promise!"

Outside, he expanded his territory and attacked all the cities in Zhengzhou. Internally, the "Qin Code" was appointed to promulgate all laws, rules and regulations in the "Qin Code" as soon as possible.

Good thing! Liu Wenqin temporarily had Zhang Yi as a great helper, and he could handle these complicated and trivial matters quickly.

Five days later! Wang Jian attacked the city and captured the territory and captured any city in Zhengzhou. That’s it! The territory of Qin State once expanded after including Zhengzhou.

Dongfang Yu, who was far away in Dingzhou, also led an army to the city of Dingzhou. Tens of thousands of troops stood in order.

At the gate of Dingzhou City, Liu Xin, the state herdsman, came out of the city to greet him with hundreds of officials from Dingzhou Prefecture.

"The guilty minister Liu Xin, together with hundreds of officials from Dingzhou Prefecture, pays homage to the king. May the king be a thousand years old!"

"The king is a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"

All the officials paid homage.

"You're all free of charge!" Dongfang Yu waved his big hand slightly.

Suddenly! He got off the horse and walked straight towards Liu Xin.

Dongfang Yu approached Liu Xin, opened his arms, and was about to help Liu Xin, "Liu Zhoumu trained a good general for Gu, and from now on! Liu Kai will be the general of Great Qin."

"But! If you want to wrong Liu Zhoumu, when Gu Banshi returns to the court, please ask Liu Zhoumu to go back to Beiliang with Gu!"

Liu Xin's expression suddenly became serious.

Are you trying to imprison him?

At this moment! The seal is already in Dongfang Yu's hands. If he goes back on his word, it is no longer possible.

"The guilty minister accepts the order!" Liu Xin bowed again.

Dongfang Yu knew what was going on in Liu Xin's mind, so he leaned over his wife and whispered in his ear: "There is a lack of capable ministers to govern the country around me. I learned that Liu Zhoumu was also very talented in his early years. A talented person, so! Gu wants Liu Zhoumu to assist Gu Na!"

Dongfang Yu patted Liu Xin's arm.

Immediately! He deliberately shouted loudly: "Today, I will appoint Liu Xin as a senior official. When my class teacher returns to the court, I will accompany him back to Beiliang."

From the fourth rank official position, Wensanguan: Zhongdafu.

Although the official position of Dongfang Yu is not as high as that of Zhou Mu, the treatment given to Liu Xin by Dongfang Yu is already very good. Feidan did not convict him, but instead promised him an official position. In this world, there are very few people as wise and generous as Dongfang Yu.

Of course, he shouted the last sentence louder on purpose when he named Liu Xin the title of Zhongdafu. His main purpose is to let the people in the whole city hear it. In this way, he is 10% more sure of Dongfang Yu winning the hearts of the people.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Liu Xin thanked him.

To be honest, Liu Xin did manage Dingzhou well during his reign. Except for the poor combat effectiveness of the army, the people lived a very comfortable life. Although they only had food and clothing, at least they would not go hungry.

then! Dongfang Yu's eyes swept over the people behind him, and his mouth tilted upward, revealing an intriguing smile.

"Dingzhou nobles and officials, please follow Gu into the mansion!" Dongfang Yudan said, shockingly! Then he jumped on his horse and headed towards the city.

Tens of thousands of troops followed behind him and also entered Dingzhou City.

As for Dingzhou, Song Yi had 20,000 Dingzhou troops and Liu Xin's headquarters had 60,000 troops. A total of more than 80,000 people, but they all surrendered to Dongfang Yu. In addition to fighting a battle in Han County, Dongfang Yu entered Dingzhou without a single blow and won an army of 80,000 in vain.

certainly! Dongfang Yu will not raise such a large army.

Divide what needs to be split, and divide what needs to be divided. The purpose of the Qin army in selecting soldiers has been very clear, that is! Only if you can withstand Qin's military training system can you be qualified to become a Qin soldier.
