Since Qin Wangzheng canceled the order to slaughter the city, more than ten days have passed in a blink of an eye, and the city of Handan is in order, and the Zhao people have really settled down, and they have their own livelihoods, at least on the surface, they are not rebelling against the rule of the Qin army.

Moreover, the military discipline of the Qin army was very strict, and the important ministers and clans of the Zhao State either died or were taken away by Zhao Jia, so the number of Haoqiang was greatly reduced, and the remaining Haoqiang was also forced by the current situation to temporarily forbear and settle down.

Since the slaughter order was canceled, it was meaningless for Qin Wangzheng to stay in Handan, so Qin Wangzheng also decided to return to Xianyang as much as possible, after all, it was not a long-term solution to bring out the entire imperial court institutions like this time. However, if you want to leave Handan and return to Xianyang, you must also make careful arrangements for the situation in Handan and the entire Zhao region. Although in the past few days, the Zhao people have finally been honest because of Hehua's miracles, but they can also be suppressed for a while, and they can't be suppressed for a lifetime, and Hehua can't live in Handan for a long time.

And at this time, the intercroppers sent by the Qin State to Daijun also returned, and reported to Qin Wangzheng that Gao Yuan had killed Zhao Jia, occupied Daijun, and established himself as Wu Anjun, leading the remnants of Li Mu to establish power in Daijun.

Although now that the Qin army has occupied the main area of the Zhao State, there are not many people left of Li Mu's remnants, and the remote and sparsely populated Daijun is not enough to pose a threat to the Qin State, but after all, the Daijun has not been subdued, and the Qin State has completely occupied the Zhao State. In addition, Qin Wangzheng also remembered that after learning the news of the arrival of the plateau general, the Taibu of the Qin State once performed divination and got a prophecy: although it descends to Zhao, it will eventually benefit Qin. In this regard, Qin Wangzheng also remembered it.

So Qin Wangzheng also immediately summoned the ministers of civil and military affairs to discuss the next countermeasures. Of course, at this level of meeting, only the two generals Wang Jian and Meng Wu are qualified to participate, and the other generals are not qualified.

After the ministers arrived, Qin Wangzheng also announced the news he had just received to the ministers, and then first asked Wang Jian: "Wang Qing, in your opinion, if you want to attack Daijun, how many men and horses do you need?" How long? ”

Wang Jian said: "At least 200,000 troops are needed, and the time is at least one year. ”

Qin Wangzheng frowned and said, "The rest of Li Mu's army is only a hundred thousand at most, and Li Mu is dead, and the dragons are leaderless, will it take so long?" So many people? ”

Wang Jian said: "King Mingjian, although Li Mu died, but has designated Gao Yuan as the successor, in the battle of Jingcheng, this person is Li Mu's right-hand man, whether it is marching and fighting, training soldiers, there are excellent performances, and this person marries Li Mu's daughter as a wife, should be able to get the support of Li Mu's old department. And Daijun is 800 miles away from Handan, more than 600 miles away from Jingcheng, that is, 400 miles away from Quyang, the road is far away, and the march and grain are not more profitable, and the plateau this person, make good use of the cavalry raid, come without a trace, go without a trace, fast as the wind, fast as electricity, can not be prevented, only by using the method of the battle of Jingcheng, build more fortresses along the way, protect the grain transportation channel, in order to ensure the supply of grain and grass for the army, so the minister proposed to need at least 200,000 horses, 100,000 for combat, 100,000 for protecting the grain transportation channel along the way, before attacking Daijun, In the early stage, it will take at least a year to repair the fortress. ”

Qin Wang Zheng said: "In other words, it takes at least a year to prepare?" in order to attack Daijun again. ”

Wang Jian said: "Yes." ”

Qin Wangzheng pondered for a moment, and then said, "What do you mean?" ”

Wang Juan immediately spoke: "My lord, the minister thinks that at present, it is not appropriate for my Qin State to send a large army to attack Daijun, nor should I send troops to attack other countries. ”

Qin Wang Zheng said: "Why is this? ”

Wang Juan said: "This battle to destroy Zhao, although successful, but the loss of my Qin State is not small, the casualties of the soldiers amounted to more than 100,000, and a large amount of food and materials were consumed, although it was not considered to exhaust all of my Qin State, but among the warehouses, there was not much left, if as General Wang said, although it was not as good as the Battle of Jingcheng, but it was no less than another war to destroy the country, with the current national strength of my Qin State, I am afraid it will be difficult to afford it, if the other six countries take the opportunity to join forces, then our Qin State is in danger, unless less than 100,000 troops, the war is only six months, You can give it a try. ”

After listening to Wang Juan's words, Qin Wangzheng pondered again.

At this time, Wei Yu said: "Great King, Dai County is remote to the north, the land is vast and sparsely populated, even if the rest of Li Mu's troops gain a foothold in Dai County, it is difficult to make a big deal, as long as we deploy troops on the front line of Jingcheng to prevent them from falling, it is not enough to worry." Therefore, the top priority at the moment is to cease the war and stop the war, rebuild the national strength, and stabilize the land of Han and Zhao, and maneuver around the countries so that they cannot be combined, and only after two or three years can the national strength be restored before the army can be raised again. ”

Qin Wang Zheng said: "Wei Qing, if my Qin national strength is restored, where should I use troops?" ”

Wei Yu said: "The next place to use troops is not Daijun, but Wei State. The three Jin Dynasty have come as one, and now after the destruction of Han and Zhao, the Wei State is already in the hinterland of our Qin State, and it is connected to the old land of Han and Zhao, and there is a lot of collusion with the Han and Zhao clans, so it is the heart of my Qin State. It should be destroyed as soon as possible, and in the past few years, it will not allow Wei and Qi Chu to form an alliance. ”

Qin Wangzheng nodded and said: "The Wei State should indeed be destroyed, but the capital of the Wei State, Daliang City, has a thick wall, and it is the first strong city in the world. Although it is difficult for Daijun to become a big thing, after two or three years of recuperation, I am afraid that the plateau will also accumulate a lot of strength, even if it can't change the overall situation, but it is not difficult to counterattack Zhaodi. ”

Yao Jia said: "The king, the minister has a plan, he can let the plateau die without a fight without a single soldier of my Qin State, even if the plateau does not die, he will no longer be able to fight against my Qin State." ”

Qin Wangzheng was a little surprised, and said, "Oh? What's the solution? ”

Yao Jia said: "The minister is willing to send an envoy to the Yan country, saying that the king of Yan will send troops to attack Daijun, if the Yan army wins, the plateau will be destroyed, and even if the plateau can defeat the Yan army, but with a city, and a country is the enemy, it will inevitably cost a lot of money, and the losses will be heavy, so naturally there will be no power to make trouble with us again." ”

Qin Wangzheng thought for a while and said: "This is a clever plan, but the reason for the cold lips and teeth, Yan Wangxi may not know, if the widow is the king of Yan, he will not send troops to attack the dynasty, on the contrary, he will unite with the county to resist my Great Qin, and the widow heard that the prince of Yan Dan is quite knowledgeable, and he will advise Yan Wangxi, so if Qing wants to say that Yan Wangxi is moved, I'm afraid it is not easy." ”

Yao Jia smiled slightly, and said: "The king can rest assured, the minister knows that King Yan likes his people, sheep tiger skin, ambition is great and talented, and short-sighted, but he thinks of himself, does big things but spares his life, and forgets his righteousness when he sees small profits, so as long as he is tempted to take advantage and forced to threaten, it is not difficult to convince him, Yan Prince Dan is indeed quite knowledgeable, far above Yan Wangxi, but he is only a prince, not Yan Wang, and it is not a matter of worry." ”

Qin Wangzheng nodded and said, "Okay, according to Qing's words, Qing should prepare immediately and send an envoy to Yan Kingdom." ”

Yao Jia hurriedly said: "The minister's order." ”

Later, after some discussion, everyone decided to leave Meng Wu and Xin Sheng to garrison Zhaodi, and to stay with 100,000 troops, and the other generals and troops returned to Xianyang with Qin Wangzheng. Among them, Han Teng and his troops also returned with the army.

Meng Wu is the second person second only to Wang Jian in the military of Qin, and he is the best person to garrison Zhao, and this time the battle to destroy Zhao, Han Teng is the first meritorious, it can be said that if there is no Han Teng and his army, Qin may not be able to destroy Zhao, Qin's military merits are rewarded and punished, this time Han Teng has made great contributions, naturally he will be rewarded, and through this battle, Qin Wangzheng also found that Han Teng is indeed a general, and there are many battles in the future of Qin, of course, the more such generals, the better, so Qin Wangzheng also wanted to officially include Han Teng in the military body of Qin.

In addition, this is also an example for other countries, Han Teng is the clan of South Korea, but after returning to the Qin State, he can also be reused by the Qin State, proving that the talents of other countries will be treated equally and eclectic.

After the future strategy was determined, Qin Wangzheng also felt that it was necessary to let go of a major matter, and it was no longer necessary to stay in Handan, so Qin Wangzheng also ordered to pack up and leave Handan immediately and return to Xianyang. Because it was the beginning of December at this time, if you hurry up, you can still rush back to Xianyang to spend the New Year before the New Year. Therefore, Qin Jun's movements were also very fast, and it only took three days to pack up and stop, and he could set off. And Yao Jia also prepared to send an envoy to Yan Guo in these three days, bid farewell to Qin Wangzheng, and set off for Yan Kingdom.

On the second day, Qin Wangzheng and his entourage also set off and returned to Xianyang. The people of Handan went to the street one after another, bowed on both sides of the avenue, saw off Qin Wangzheng and his party, and some people lit incense on the side of the road, and many people cried loudly.

However, the Qin army knew that the Zhao people were so aggressive, and it was not them who sent it, but Hehua alone. Although the Zhao people's hatred for the Qin State has not been eliminated, they regard Hehua as a saint and have great reverence. Not only because Hehua showed miracles, but also because Hehua stopped Qin Wangzheng's order to slaughter the city and saved the people of a city. Therefore, Zhao Ren's devotion to Hehua is indeed from the heart.

And Hehua also got out of the car, and comforted the Zhao people with kind words, telling them to keep to themselves and not to disobey the laws of the Qin State, etc., so Hehua walked out of Handan City all the way to the car again, and marched west with the Qin army.
