After the Yan State was defeated, apart from South Korea, which was in the hands of Ye Zhang, only the easternmost state of Qi was left.

Although Qi itself is considered a powerful country with strong economic and cultural strength, it can no longer compete with the powerful Qin on its own. It will only be a matter of time before it is annexed.

However, if it resists desperately at all costs like the Chu State, the Qin army will probably suffer a lot of losses. Although the Qin people are warlike, no one is willing to lose their lives in vain.

After some deliberation, Ying Zheng decided to avoid unnecessary losses as much as possible and to defeat the enemy without fighting was the best policy.

After several months of planning, Wang Ben and Meng Tian jointly led an army of 400,000 to the Qi border, and outflanked it from the west, south, and north, blocking all retreats and leaving no room for retreat.

Hundreds of thousands of troops kept approaching to exert pressure, and used bows and arrows to throw a letter of surrender into the city, causing panic throughout the Qi State.

Everyone knows that it is impossible for Qi to defeat Qin with its current strength. Defeat can be said to be inevitable. In this case, what is the point of fighting to the death?

At the same time, the Qin State sent agents to sneak into Linzi, bribe and win over many courtiers to instigate rebellion against it. As for those who were unwilling to surrender, they directly let the Luowang assassins remove them.

In this way, a two-pronged approach was adopted, and the civil and military ministers all wrote letters to advise, hoping that the King of Qi would put the country first and conduct peace talks.

Of course, the so-called peace talks are essentially surrender. After all, there are only two roads before us, surrender or perish.

The pampered princes naturally did not want to be buried with Qi, so this ridiculous situation occurred.

Qi Wangjian was also anxious and frightened. Naturally, he was unwilling to give up the throne, but if he resisted and did not tell what happened to the Qin State, even these ministers would object.

The current situation was a dilemma, and he didn't know how to deal with it.

Seeing that the fire was almost done, Ying Zheng personally summoned the former and issued an ultimatum. If he did not surrender within seven days, the Qin army would attack Chu.

At that time, all the princes and ministers will be executed, and if they surrender voluntarily, everyone will be exempted from punishment, and even the royal family can be preserved and live a prosperous life.

This edict can be said to be the straw that broke the camel's back. In order to save the ancestral temple, family and life, the King of Qi had no choice but to surrender.

A few days later, King Jian of Qi came out of the city to surrender and presented his royal seal. Wang Ben and Meng Tian jointly accepted the surrender of the other party on behalf of Qin. After that day, Qi became history.

In this way, the last stumbling block was cleared, and the Qin Dynasty completed the centuries-old ideals of the previous kings, making Qin the sole ruler of this land.

At this point, the world has returned to Da Qin...

At the same time, in the Korean Royal Palace in Xinzheng City, Han Fei looked at the silk book in his hand and couldn't help but sigh.

At the same time that Qi was annexed by Qin, Ying Zheng issued another edict, thinking that the alliance between Qin and South Korea did not want people to live in ruins, so they could not use troops on South Korea.

Instead, it was designated as the Daqin Special Economic Zone and renamed Yingchuan County. Han Fei, the King of Han, also became the first county governor, enjoying the power to recruit troops and autonomy.

The price that needs to be paid is to abolish the Korean national title and change the original characters to Qin Xiaozhuan.

"Brother Han really wants Han to be annexed to Qin?"

Zhang Liang on the side asked.

"There is no other way. We can't let the Qin army invade. Then millions of people will suffer."

Han Fei replied helplessly and said with a slight pause: "What's more, this country no longer belongs to the royal family. Tianyuan Trading Company is the master. Even if we don't agree, nothing can be changed."

"Is this your excuse for your cowardice?"

Wei Zhuang walked over and said with an indifferent expression.

Han Fei said apologetically: "Brother Wei Zhuang, I'm sorry to disappoint you. From now on, you will be the leader of Liusha."

He knew very well that Wei Zhuang had always wanted to help him make South Korea stronger, but now that he was in this situation, he really failed to live up to the other party's hard work.

"It's up to you whether you want to join Ying Zheng or not, but the quicksand will always be there."

After saying this, Wei Zhuang snorted and left.

Seeing this, Han Fei sighed, then looked at Zhang Liang and said, "Brother Wei Zhuang is very angry. I will need you to take more care of the quicksand issue in the future."

Now that he has taken over the post of county guard, it is natural that he is not suitable to hold the position of leader of Liusha.

Although Wei Zhuang is powerful, he alone cannot support the overall situation. Therefore, if Quicksand continues to develop and grow, it will definitely not be possible without the help of a person with intelligence, keenness and delicate mind.

Hearing this, Zhang Liang was slightly silent, then he clenched his fists and made a decision in his heart. He looked at the former and said, "Brother Han, I joined Liusha because of you, and I want to follow in your footsteps.

And now, since you have decided to withdraw, there is no need for me to stay."

Han Fei was slightly startled when he heard this. He didn't expect that the other party would have such thoughts, and then said: "Zifang, I have my own reasons for making such a decision.

You must not make arbitrary decisions based on temporary anger."

Zhang Liang replied: "It was to save us that we gathered together, but now the Korean flag and words have been replaced, and it won't be long before they disappear into the long river of history.

It doesn’t make much sense for me to continue to stay, so it’s better to find a path of my own.”

Han Fei heard the words and said softly: "Zifang, what can truly represent a country is not the royal family or the country's title, but all the people."

It is for this reason that he was willing to take over as the governor of Yingchuan County and become a nominal official of the Qin State.

"Maybe you are right, but..."

Zhang Liang felt sad. Although he understood it, he could never overcome the hurdle in his heart. The Zhang family had been prime ministers for several generations. It can be said that the country is the family.

Although South Korea was also controlled by the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce before, at least Guo Zuo was still there, but now everything seems to have collapsed, and it is really impossible to continue to hold on to the belief in the heart.

Seeing the look of determination on the other person's face, Han Fei did not continue to dissuade him. He nodded and said, "Okay, now that you have decided, I won't say more. What are your plans next?"

Hearing this, Zhang Liang replied: "In the next few days, I will hand over the matters at hand to Brother Wei Zhuang. When the situation in Liusha stabilizes, I should leave South Korea temporarily."

Han Fei's expression changed when he heard this and asked, "Have you decided where to go?"
