Chapter 221 Collusion with foreign races? Great Qin, Ying Zheng is delighted!
Looking at Qing Qin in front of him.
Zhao Feng did not hesitate, dismounted from his horse, and threw the Overlord Spear in his hand at Zhang Ming.
Then he stepped forward and helped Qing Qin up.
"General Qing Qin surrendered for the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the city, which is a great virtue."
"On behalf of Great Qin, I, Zhao Feng, accept the surrender of the entire Yan army in the city."
"I would like to assure you that Great Qin will never increase killings in vain." Zhao Feng assured Qing Qin.
Hear this.
Qing Qin breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around and looked at the many generals following him in the battle.
"The whole army obeys the order." Qing Qin raised the sword in his hand and shouted loudly.
"The general will listen carefully to the general's orders."
Dozens of Yan generals paid their respects one after another.
All the Yan troops in the rear bowed and bowed.
"With the order of General Dayan, I order you to put down your weapons and take off your armor."
"Our army has surrendered."
Qing Qin spoke loudly, his voice filled with sadness and reluctance.
But it’s more of a redemptive relief.
Now they were trapped in a tight siege. If he didn't surrender, it would be an increase in casualties.
There is no way reinforcements could arrive so quickly.
The final result was that nearly 200,000 people were buried here.
After all, their morale has been shattered, and if they continue to fight, they will die.
Surrendering now will not only avoid fearful casualties, but may also give these soldiers a better future.
"I will obey the general's orders."
All the Yan army officers and soldiers behind Qing Qin shouted loudly.
next moment.
Crash.
Weapons fell to the ground one by one, and the sound of armor being removed resounded throughout the city.
This time the battle of Yuyang was also a battle for Yan's national destiny. Yan was defeated!
"General Zhao Feng."
Qing Qin turned his head and looked at Zhao Feng again.
"General Qing, please speak." Zhao Feng's tone was also very gentle.
"May I ask how Great Qin will treat these 200,000 soldiers after they surrender?" Qing Qin asked with concern.
"In the past, our Great Qin had two methods of dealing with the surrendered soldiers captured on the battlefield."
"They are all slaves and need to pay their dues and perform meritorious service."
"First, reorganize into a prisoner army and serve our Great Qin. If you kill the enemy for our Great Qin, you will be pardoned from your slave status, restored to your native place, and can return home."
"Second, reorganize it into a repair corvee. After five years of corvee service in our Great Qin Dynasty, you can be free and return to the countryside." Zhao Feng said slowly.
Hear this.
Qing Qin felt relieved and bowed to Zhao Feng: "Great Qin's treatment of surrendered soldiers is a great virtue."
Among all the countries in the world.
Perhaps only Great Qin could deal with Jiang soldiers in this way.
Other countries have only two ways to deal with surrendered soldiers.
One was redeemed by the mother country for a large sum of money.
only.
Most of the surrendered soldiers will never get the chance to be redeemed by the mother country for a large amount of money. After all, if they surrender, their lives will not be cared about by the mother country at all, unless that person is a capable minister or general.
Therefore, the only way for all countries to deal with them is to be slaves forever, sell them to the people, and be slaves forever.
And Da Qin's method of dealing with it, called Enze, was no exception.
It's also because of this method of disposal.
Zhao Feng didn't know how many people in the Great Qin court had been affected, and this was also part of the reason why he was targeted by Wang Wan and the others.
In the past, when slaves entered the Qin Dynasty, many of them flowed into the private sector. Why did they flow in?
Of course, those adults will take the credit.
"We are both from the Chinese ethnic group, how can we go too far?" Zhao Feng said with a smile.
Hear this.
Qing Qin also looked at Zhao Feng in a daze.
But then he smiled and said: "The great Yan soldiers in the city, thanks to your service, Zhao has been granted the title of general."
"I hope that in the future when Da Qin marches forward, the general will be kind to our people in Da Yan and will not cause any killings."
Finished.
Qing Qin took a step back.
Then.
He directly pulled out the sword in his hand.
Many personal guards behind Zhao Feng immediately stepped forward and stared at him eagerly.
But the next moment.
Qing Qin directly dropped the sword on his neck.
"General."
"No way."
"General..."
Seeing Qing Qin's sudden movement.
Many Yan generals behind them hurriedly shouted, showing signs of anxiety.
"It is not disloyal to celebrate Qin's surrender to Qin today."
"But in order to save the lives of the soldiers in the city, the situation is bound to be defeated, and there is no need to sacrifice."
"Yes."
"Qing Qin is not a disloyal person."
"Today I must die to apologize and repay the king's kindness."
Qing Qin looked around and said loudly.
next moment.
With determination, he slashed his neck with the sword.
Blood splattered.
Qing Qin's body also fell down weakly.
"General."
"General..."
The Yan army soldiers in the rear let out bursts of crying and howling.
Zhao Feng took a look and slowly walked to Qing Qin's side.
His hands were placed on Qing Qin's body for a moment, but at the next moment, a burst of true energy penetrated directly into Qing Qin's body, sealing Qing Qin's heart veins, ensuring that he would not bleed to death for the time being.
For such a loyal person, Zhao Feng naturally didn't want to watch him die. After all, he still had a chance to conquer him.
In the troubled times of the future.
Zhao Feng needs a lot of talents.
Although this Qing Qin did not have the ability to truly command an army like Li Mu, he was enough as a deputy general and could stand alone.
Subsequently.
Zhao Feng stood up and gave Zhang Ming a wink.
Then he said loudly: "General Qing Qin is a loyal and righteous man, which is admirable."
"Send the general's order."
"A generous burial for General Qing Qin."
Zhang Ming immediately accepted the order: "My subordinates accept the order."
Then Zhang Ming waved his hand and directly carried Qing Qin down with a few personal guards.
"Generals."
"Now that you have surrendered to our great Qin, I will not offend you."
"But the state of Yan has not yet been decided, and the laws of Qin have not been implemented. You will also be under supervision. But please rest assured, the food, clothing, housing and transportation will be controlled by the Qin army." Zhao Feng said loudly.
He looked directly at Li You: "General Li."
"The end will be here." Li You walked over quickly.
"You lead your troops to receive the surrendered soldiers outside the city and register them."
"Set up a camp to guard the soldiers." Zhao Feng said in a deep voice.
"The last general takes orders." Li You said immediately.
"Wei Quan."
Zhao Feng shouted again.
"The general is here." Wei Quan quickly rode over.
"Lead our cavalry to follow our general out of the city and continue the attack." Zhao Feng shouted coldly.
Now Yuyang City has been decided.
The warriors under his command have also rested for the night, so the opportunity to fight cannot be missed.
Next.
Zhao Feng took the lead with his cavalry and severely attacked Yan State to come to the rescue.
As for how to deal with the surrender of soldiers in Yuyang City, with Li You and Tu Sui here, there won't be many surprises.
"Report the battle in Yuyang on horseback."
"This time."
"We are going to attack Jicheng in one go." Zhao Feng said in a deep voice.
"General."
"Then Le Cheng has been captured by our army, what should we do with him?" Zhang Ming then remembered Le Cheng's existence and asked immediately.
"This Lecheng seems to be loyal, but he has no determination to celebrate Qin."
"That's it."
"Then let him die."
Zhao Feng didn't even bother to see this Le Cheng. Immediately ordered his execution.
—
Time flies!
Jicheng!
The imperial court of the State of Yan.
"Urgent report."
"The army sent by our army to reinforce Yuyang City was defeated by the Qin army and suffered heavy losses."
The emergency reporting soldier ran into the hall, knelt on the ground and reported.
"What?"
"How many days has it been?"
"Yuyang City is guarded by Yan's 300,000-strong army. How could the Qin army break through the defense and defeat the reinforcements?"
"This is impossible!"
King Yan was shocked and said.
"Your Majesty."
"Perhaps the Qin army took a detour." A minister said.
"impossible."
"Yuyang City is our hub of Yan. If the Qin army dares to take a detour, the army stationed in Yuyang City can block the Qin army at any time. Qing Qin will not just watch the Qin army cross the border." King Yan said immediately.
This time it was to garrison Yuyang City.
It can be said that King Yan has issued a death order and must rush to rescue him with all his strength.
"Report."
At this time!
Another emergency soldier rushed into the hall.
"Start the memorial, Your Majesty."
"Yuyang was captured by the Qin army and has fallen."
The urgent soldiers reported in fear. "What?"
King Yan's expression suddenly changed.
Even more panicked than hearing that the reinforcements had been routed.
The army stationed in Yuyang is his last hope.
If it really falls, and the Qin army attacks all the way, Jicheng will really have no strong city to defend.
"How could our country, Yan, be guarded by 300,000 elite troops, fall so quickly?"
"How did Qing Qin defend himself?"
King Yan on the throne asked in a solemn tone.
"Return to the king."
"General Qing Qin has committed suicide." The emergency reporting soldier reported in horror.
The words fell.
Everyone in the court was shocked.
"Why?"
"How could the general commit suicide?"
"There's no reason for this?"
"The general is guarding Yuyang. In the past, Zhao general Pang Nuan led his army to attack and could not break through."
"No matter how strong the Qin army is, it's impossible for them to conquer Yuyang in just a few days, right?"
"Did Lecheng commit treason?"
"Most likely."
"Le Cheng betrayed us, Dayan, and surrendered to Zhao. Now that Qin is attacking, Le Cheng will definitely repeat his old tricks."
"Such despicable people are really ridiculous."
"Yuyang City is the most important line of defense for our country, Dayan. Once the city is broken, our country, Dayan, will be in danger..."
The expressions of all the Yan ministers in the court changed suddenly.
The originally solemn court suddenly became noisy.
"enough!"
King Yan scolded angrily, his face turning livid.
The entire court was also enveloped in an extremely depressing energy.
"Your Majesty, please calm down." All the ministers bowed to him one after another.
"Why did Qing Qin commit suicide?" King Yan looked at the soldiers who were rushing to report, and his tone was solemn.
For Lecheng.
He may be worried, but he has great trust in Qing Qin.
If it had not really reached the point of no return, Qing Qin would definitely not commit suicide.
"Report to the king."
"The general fell into the Qin army's trick..."
The emergency reporting soldier explained what he had learned.
Hear this.
King Yan's face became even more ugly.
"The three hundred thousand troops were completely lost."
"Dayan."
"We are really going to die." King Yan sighed secretly in his heart.
But then I changed my mind.
Another unknown anger emerged in King Yan's heart.
"The traitor, all this is because of that traitor. If he hadn't assassinated the King of Qin, how could I, Dayan, have ended up in this situation."
"If Qi Chu came to help, how could we, Yan, be so isolated?" King Yan was even more angry in his heart.
This situation was entirely caused by his traitorous son.
"Your Majesty."
"Yuyang City has been captured by the Qin army, and the 300,000-strong army has been lost."
"What should I do, Dayan?"
A minister said solemnly.
"Publish the edict of the widow."
"Calling all the troops together can also be mobilized to defend Jicheng."
"Send people to Qi and Chu to ask for help, and tell them that as long as they help me, Yan, I am willing to cede twenty cities to each country." King Yan said through gritted teeth.
"Your Majesty."
"Originally, almost all of our main force in Dayan was stationed in Yuyang, and the 150,000 reinforcements sent were also defeated by the Qin army. Although many escaped, their combat power was not strong."
"Even if we all gather in Jicheng, our strength in Jicheng will only be 150,000."
"It is impossible to stop the tiger and wolf Qin army."
"Even if Qi and Chu are willing to send troops, I, Dayan, may not be able to hold on for that long."
Sima Lin stood up and said.
"Let's gather our troops first."
"As for the future, we will make a decision."
King Yan sighed.
With a kind of helplessness.
"alright."
"Let's disperse."
King Yan waved his hand feebly.
Harem.
The palace of King Yan.
"I see you, Your Majesty."
Sima Lin came to the main hall and bowed respectfully to King Yan.
"Sima Aiqing."
"If we ask Donghu to send troops, can we really stop Qin?"
Seeing Sima Lin, King Yan immediately asked with an anxious tone.
Now.
It seems that the time for national subjugation can be counted down.
King Yan finally gave up on the bottom line in his heart and wanted to collude with the foreign tribes and use the foreign tribes to protect his Yan country from destruction.
"The king knows how strong the Donghu clan is in comparison."
"As long as they are willing to send troops, Qin will be able to retreat." Sima Lin said immediately.
"The Qin army has 300,000 troops, and it is even possible to mobilize more troops. How many troops can Donghu mobilize?" King Yan immediately asked.
"Although Donghu's population is not as large as my own, Dayan, his entire clan has soldiers. As long as there is a war, Donghu can easily mobilize an army of four to five million people."
"Now the Donghu clan is stronger than the Xiongnu." Sima Lin said immediately.
"Then what price must be paid to allow Donghu to send troops?" King Yan asked immediately.
"This... minister once went to Donghu and met King Donghu."
"If you want him to send troops, you may have to cede territory." Sima Lin tentatively said.
Hear this!
King Yan stood up without any hesitation and walked to Sima Lin.
"Sima Aiqing."
"I order you to secretly go to Donghu Kingdom and negotiate with King Donghu on my behalf. No matter what the cost, as long as it is within my tolerance, I, Dayan, will agree to it."
"certainly."
"All conditions are in place for me, Dayan, to defeat the Qin army." King Yan said immediately.
Hear this.
A flash of joy flashed in Sima Lin's eyes, but he suppressed it in an instant. An excited expression appeared on his face, and he bowed to King Yan: "Thank you for your trust, your Majesty. I will never let you down."
"but."
"Since the king has decided to ask Donghu for help."
"The 70,000 border troops stationed at the border can also be transferred to Jicheng for defense to obtain a longer defense time." Sima Lin suggested.
To this.
After King Yan pondered for a moment, he nodded immediately: "You are right."
"Returning these troops can make the capital safer, and reinforcements from the East can be mobilized faster in the future."
"I will give you an order. You ask the generals guarding the border to quickly send their troops back to Jicheng to aid."
Sima Lin immediately accepted the order: "I accept the imperial edict."
After Sima Lin retreated.
King Yan's eyes flashed with a look of struggle.
"The ancestors of the Great Yan Dynasty."
"Now that the country is about to perish, I really have no choice."
"If it weren't for protecting the country, I would never collude with foreigners."
"I don't want to be a prisoner of Qin, and I don't want to be slaughtered by Qin."
"As long as the country can survive, I am willing to pay any price." King Yan thought in his heart as if he was encouraging himself.
He could even think of what kind of infamy he would bear in the future when Donghu's army marched south to the Yan Empress, for colluding with foreign tribes, being a traitor to the Chinese tribe, and even being infamous for thousands of years.
But King Yan didn't care.
As long as the country can survive and the royal power is still in hand, then it is all worth it.
Turn your eyes!
Da Qin, Xianyang City.
On the throne, Ying Zheng looked at the battle report in his hand with a warm smile on his face.
"Zhao Gao."
After reading it, Ying Zheng handed the battle report to Zhao Gao standing aside.
"promise."
Zhao Gao respectfully held up the battle report, turned around, faced the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and said loudly: "Sima Kuaipu of the Central Army of Wu'an Camp is here to report!"
"A few days ago."
"The troops from the Wu'an camp are approaching Yuyang."
"General Yan celebrates the Qin Dynasty, General Yan Lecheng leads an army of 300,000 to guard this city."
"After thinking about it, the general thought that although the city could be broken by a strong attack, the Wu'an camp would suffer heavy losses, so he sent people into the city to win over General Yan Lecheng."
"In reality, it's all in the name of winning over, and the basis is trickery."
"Le Cheng pretended to surrender, and hoped that the inside and outside would cooperate with each other to open the city and surrender. In fact, he pretended to open the city and lured our troops into the city to ambush them."
"When the general sent people to win over Le Cheng, he understood Le Cheng's intentions and took advantage of his plan. He directly sent the main battle battalion of his cavalry into Yuyang East City and charged all the way."
"During the charge, the general personally led the army to attack the west city of Yuyang and destroyed the city in one fell swoop."
"After three days of fierce fighting, we successfully captured the outer city of Yuyang and besieged the remaining Yan army in the inner city of Yuyang."
"Besieging the Yan army, the general ordered to use a psychological strategy to break the morale of the Yan army. The fourth man, General Qing Qin of Yan, led his army to surrender. After the surrender, Qing Qin committed suicide in front of the general. The general ordered a grand burial."
"Beheading and capturing more than 300,000 Yan troops with minimal losses."
"Great victory in Yuyang."
Zhao Gao's voice spread throughout the court.
The results of this battle were announced.
The entire court was also silent.
Everyone was shocked by this result.
Ying Zheng was very satisfied with this situation. He glanced at it and felt quite pleased.
