447 Zhaoqi returns to the division, Bai Qi restores the soil
Outside Shouchun City, snow was covered with snow, and the army led by Zhaoqi was slowly entering the city.
Looking at Shouchun City in front of him, Zhao Qi's face was very complicated.
After all, Zhaoqi is the most powerful person in Shouchun City. Of course, the rumors that the King of Chu who was killed by Zhaoqi had long been submitted by Zhaoqi's subordinates.
Zhao Qi can be said to be speechless about this rumor.
Of course Zhao Qi knew that he was wronged, but the problem was that Zhao Qi himself could not be cleaned!
Could it be that the three wives he sent in were traitors in Zhao? Isn’t this confirming Zhao Qi’s identity as a “traitor” in secretly communicating Zhao’s state, that would never work.
But the three ladies can't be found yet. If they catch someone, they can still make a confession at will. If they can't catch someone, there will be no way.
After thinking about it, Zhao Qi had to find three female prisoners from the prison to kill them, and then announced to the public that the three wives were deceived by the traitor of Jingyang and assassinated the king. This was a conspiracy from the Jing family. As for whether the people of the Unchao Kingdom believe it or not, it is not something Zhao Qi can handle now.
The people of Qin have arrived. No matter what Qin came for, Zhao Qi knew that his war should be over.
Defeating Jingyang would cost Zhao Qi a considerable price, and the result would be that Zhao Qi would be vulnerable to the Qin people.
Zhao Qi's plan is very simple. The most important thing is to control the Wuyue area around Shouchun and the eastward area, and to pull up an army that truly belongs to him and can protect himself.
As for the part of the old Yingdu Jianghan Plain that the Qin people were attacking in the west, I will not want it for the time being. Anyway, Jingyang's territory is next to the Jianghan Plain. If the Qin army still plans to advance eastward, let them bite the dog.
Zhao Qi didn't know why Qin suddenly attacked the King of Chu at this time, but he still sent an envoy to Chengdu. If possible, Zhao Qi didn't mind paying some price for the Qin people to help him eliminate Jingyang, and then see if he could reap the benefits of the fisherman.
As for Zhao State, which is even more northerly... To be honest, Zhao Qi has no time to take into account Zhao State's ideas now, if Zhao State really calls Jingyang, there will be no way out.
However, after thinking about it, Jingyang still sent an envoy to Handan to send gifts and show goodwill. There was no way to do so.
On a small hill several miles away, several figures were watching Zhao Qi's army enter the city from afar. The leader was Ling Zhuxian, an eunuch from Zhao Qi who had "thought about day and night" these days.
Tangxian gently brushed away the snowflakes falling on his clothes, turned around and looked at the three women in front of him who were still wearing thick clothes, but still couldn't hide their slim figure and charming beauty.
"You have done a good job. I have reported to the King. Your family in Da Zhao will receive the King's kindness for your great contributions. They will completely eliminate the identity of the prisoner of sin and gain a considerable amount of wealth and land."
The three women all showed joy when they heard this and thanked Wangxian.
Tangxian chuckled and said, "You don't need to thank me. If you want to thank me, just thank the king and your own efforts. Now that the matter is over, what are your plans? Even though, the king has already instructed me to meet your requirements as much as possible."
The three women looked at each other. After a brief silence, the oldest Mrs. Zhao said: "I am now a person who returns to the eunuch, and I am not afraid to return home. I also ask the eunuch to give me a way out."
Miao Xian seemed to have thought of this answer a long time ago and smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then you can follow me back to the headquarters. In the future, more women will join the Foreign Intelligence Department. You three can be instructors. As long as you abide by the confidentiality regulations, you can get married and have children normally. How about it?"
The three women showed joy on their faces and said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you for the eunuchs."
Miao Xian laughed and said, "Okay, let's go, it's time to go back to Handan."
A moment later, a carriage headed north in the snow and ice.
Thousands of miles west, the old capital is old.
Bai Qi stood on the chariot and looked at Yingdu in front of him with some trance.
This is Bai Qi's second time here, but his mood is completely different from the last time.
The last time he captured Yingdu and burned Yiling, Bai Qi was full of energy, and Qin State had the highest territory in history, and unprecedented hegemony seemed to be right in front of him.
However, as Zhao State advanced westward, Guanzhong fell, and the counterattack failed, everything turned into a bubble.
Today, Qin is just a country that hides in a corner of Bashu and Han, and survives under the power of Zhao's military.
Bai Qi had seen the heavy artillery of Zhao State and had personally experienced the power of the heavy artillery.
As long as Zhao State has thunder and heavy artillery, no matter whether the Qin State leads the troops, it will be no different if it is Bai Qi, Meng Ao or anyone else.
So Bai Qi chose to resign.
But in the end, he was moved by Wei Ran.
As Wei Ran said, perhaps the outcome of the war will not change at all, but at least... the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty can kill fewer people.
A Qin general rode his horse and reported to Bai Qi: "General, the warehouse has been controlled by our army, and there are 30,000 stones of food in it!"
Bai Qi was slightly stunned, with an unexpected expression on his face: "So many?"
The general of Qin smiled and said, "Yes, general. According to the confession of the Chu officials captured by the last general, the King of Chu has always wanted to move back to Yingdu, so the taxes paid on the Jianghan Plain in the past two years have been stored here directly. In addition to food, we have also found two thousand Chu army armor, 30,000 arrows and 300 crossbows, and other materials are still being further counted."
Bai Qi was silent for a while and smiled very rarely: "It's very good, you guys continue. By the way, you must let the soldiers pay attention to preventing the cold. Do you understand?"
"Here!"
After the general left, Bai Qi continued to look up at the ruins of the Yingdu Palace of Chu State in front of him.
It can be seen that the ruins have been repaired one after another, and many craftsmen can see the tools abandoned by the place in many places. However, judging from the pitiful construction scale, the restoration of the siege has obviously progressed quite slowly.
After a long time, Bai Qi turned around and issued another order to the generals in front of him.
