"Zhao Yun obeys the order."

 "Wei Chen is here."

 "I ordered you to lead ten thousand soldiers and go northward immediately to defeat Pingyang."

 Xu Feng immediately issued an order to Zhao Yun.

 Zhao Yun's face brightened: "No, this minister takes orders and will definitely live up to His Majesty's expectations."

 "As long as Pingyang is captured, I believe that Zhao Xie will never give up, and will definitely lead the army back."

 Xu Feng sneered.

 Pingyang is to the north of Anyi, and is the center of the half of Hedong County in the north.

 As long as the Qin army takes Pingyang again, it will basically be equivalent to mastering the entire Hedong County.

 Compared with Shangdang County and Taiyuan County, Hedong County is the richest of the three counties, and it is the essence of Wei State back then.

 In its heyday, Hedong was as prosperous as Guanzhong.

 Not bad even now.

 A large population and fertile land means that more land taxes can be collected and more soldiers can be recruited.

 That's why Zhao Xie focused on Hedong County.

 After Xu Feng sent Zhao Yun to attack Pingyang, he still stayed in Anyi to speed up the reorganization of the [-] Wei soldiers left behind by Wei Bao.

 It took a week for Xu Feng to remove more than 1 old, weak, sick and disabled from the [-] Wei soldiers, and reorganize them into [-] elite soldiers.

 A large part of these soldiers of the Wei army are veterans of the Wei army, but their morale was low because of the successive defeats of the Wei army in front.

 Xu Feng believed that as long as he led them to a victory, the [-] veterans of the Wei army would surely regain their morale and not lose to the soldiers of the Qin army.

 "Report, Your Majesty, news from the scouts.

 Zhao Jun has conquered the eldest son. "

 A week later, Xu Feng received news that the army led by Zhao Xie had captured the eldest son city of Shangdang County.

 "How come so fast?"

 Xu Feng was puzzled.

 "Reporting to Your Majesty, the Wei army who stayed behind in the eldest son city surrendered without a fight after the Zhao army arrived."

 "I see."

 Xu Feng understood immediately.

 Otherwise, Xu Feng believed that with a strong county like Changzi City, even if there were only [-] Wei troops defending the city, it would be enough to hold on for several days.

 "Calculating the time, Zhao Yun's army has been away for five days, and it should arrive in Pingyang soon."

 "My order is to leave [-] soldiers to stay in Anyi, and the rest of the troops will assemble and send troops to Pingyang tomorrow."

 Xu Feng gave the order.

 "promise."

 "Your Majesty, what should Wei Bao do? Don't leave him in Anyi City!"

 Qin Jun suggested.

 "Well, I know, I will bring Wei Bao this time.

 Pingyang was his capital before, and he is more familiar with the situation in Pingyang than we are.

 In Pingyang City, it is estimated that there are still many of his old subordinates, and it will be helpful for us to bring him along. "

 Xu Feng had already thought about it and said.

 "Your Majesty is wise."

 At the beginning of July, Xu Feng led more than 4 Qin troops (including the reorganized Wei army), left Anyi City, and rushed north to Pingyang.

 Xu Feng believes that by the time he leads the army to Pingyang, Pingyang will probably have been captured by Zhao Yun.

 And when the news of Pingyang's fall reached Zhao Xie, Zhao Xie would definitely not let it go, and would definitely lead the army to attack Pingyang.

 And Pingyang was the place Xu Feng had chosen for a decisive battle with Zhao Xie.

 Three days later, on the way Xu Feng led the army northward, as expected, he received a good news from Zhao Yun.

 "Report, Your Majesty, General Zhao has led the army to take Pingyang."

 A Qin army scout came to Xu Feng and reported.

 "Haha, I knew Zhao Yun would not disappoint me.

 Order the whole army to speed up and arrive in Pingyang as soon as possible. "

 "In addition, send someone to spread the news that Pingyang City has been captured by us to the east to the ears of Zhao Jun.

 I will wait for Zhao Xie in Pingyang! "

 Xu Feng sneered.

Chapter 154 Zhao Xie's Emperor's Dream

 154 Zhao Xie's Emperor's Dream

 [Seek to collect and subscribe! 】

 On July [-]th, after Zhao Xie, the eldest son of Shangdang County, captured the eldest son city, he rewarded the three armies in the eldest son city and celebrated for several days.

 This time, the people in the eldest son city suffered.

 Nearly 30 Zhao troops seized all the cattle, sheep and livestock in the city, and plundered the money and food of the people in the city, causing public resentment to boil.

 However, Zhao Xie didn't care about the people in the city at all. He had a big banquet in the eldest son's government office for the resentment towards Zhao Jun.

 "Your Majesty, now Shangdang County has also been defeated by Your Majesty.

 Now, the land in the king's hands is almost as large as that of Zhao and Wei combined.

 It all depends on the wise leadership of the king! "

 At the banquet, Zhao Xie's advisers began to flatter Zhao Xie.

 Because these counselors of Zhao State are very aware of their master's temperament, so they like this one.

 It is precisely because of Zhao Xie's character that he has gathered a large number of 'capable ministers and generals' who are very good at flattering and flattering.

 Now, these Zhao Jun civil servants and generals must do what they like at this kind of banquet.

 Sure enough, Zhao Xie had a smile on his face after hearing the flattery from his adviser, and he was very happy with this flattery.

 "Chang Aiqing, you have contributed a lot to this battle, and this king will remember it."

 Zhao Xie said with a smile to this sycophant.

 "Thank you, Your Majesty, I swear to follow Your Majesty to the death."

 The counselor surnamed Chang, after hearing what Zhao Xie said, was overjoyed, knowing that his flattery had worked, he saluted.

 Soon, the actions of this counselor surnamed Chang attracted the envy of a group of Zhao army counselors and generals around him.

 The other Zhao Guo counselors and generals all regretted in their hearts, why didn't they be the first to stand up and flatter this.

 Then, not to be outdone, someone stood up and said to Zhao Xie, "Yes, Master Chang is absolutely right.

 With the current achievements of the king, the territory in his hands at this time, and the 30 army under the king's command, it is completely possible to follow the example of Tyranny and confer the title of emperor.

 Even the foolish emperor of Tyranny Qin could be an emperor, and it is only natural for a great king to be an emperor. "

 This new counselor proposed directly to Zhao Xie that he be called the emperor instead of just being a king.

 Sure enough, this new counselor's proposal directly hit Zhao Xie's inner thoughts, and Zhao Xie's eyes lit up: "Continue talking."

 As soon as the new counselor heard Zhao Xie let him continue, he understood that Zhao Xie was interested in his proposal.

 "Your Majesty, there is a First Emperor in Qin, who unified the six kingdoms.

 Wei Chen believes that in order to reunify China, it must be the king.

 It is in line with your true identity that the king proclaims himself emperor.

 At that time, Zhao State will unify the world, and the king will be the first emperor of Zhao State. "

 "Haha, well said, watch and reward!"

 The counselor's words just scratched the itch in Zhao Xie's heart, and he directly rewarded this person with a hundred taels of gold, which made many people around him jealous.

 It has to be said that Zhao Xie at this time has long thought about the title of 'Emperor'.

 No matter how you feel, the Wang No. is a grade lower than the 'Emperor' No.

 The name of the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty can be said to be loud enough to last forever.

 For Zhao Xie, a great king who likes to make great achievements and likes to make public, proclaiming himself emperor is a huge temptation for him.

 He didn't dare to do it before, but now with the passing of this year, he has more and more troops under his command and more and more territories.

 Zhao Xie didn't even care about Xiang Yu anymore, so it's no problem to proclaim himself emperor now.

 The Zhao Guo counselor, who was rewarded with gold, was very excited at this time, and he saluted directly, and shouted loudly: "Thank you, Your Majesty.

 My minister respectfully invites the king to choose an auspicious day to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor. "

 "The ministers respectfully invite the king to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor."

 The counselors and generals of other Zhao countries around shouted in unison at this time.

 "Hahaha!"

 Zhao Xie laughed out loud, feeling very happy.

 "Chang Aiqing, do you think it is more appropriate for this king to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor?"

 Zhao Xie turned his head and asked about his favored minister.

 "Your Majesty, I feel that it is better for your Majesty to become emperor sooner rather than later, and the best location is in Jinyang.

 Moreover, the majesty's ascension to the throne and proclaiming himself emperor must be done in a grand manner, so that people in the world will know how wise the majesty is. "

 "Well, Chang Aiqing is right.

 In this case, after the king returns to Jinyang this time, the enthronement ceremony will be held this autumn.

 The preparations for this king's enthronement ceremony will be handed over to Chang Aiqing. "

 Zhao Xie was very satisfied, and agreed to the proposal of his advisers, determined to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor in autumn after leading the army back to Jinyang.

 "Your Majesty Yingming!"

 Then, as soon as Zhao Xie was in a good mood, he drank a lot of wine, and then generously began to reward the officials, rewarding money, food, livestock, etc. that he couldn't count in his hand.

 The money, food, and livestock that Zhao Xie rewarded his subordinates were all taken back by Zhao Jun from the people in the eldest son city.

 This celebration banquet lasted until midnight. After eating and drinking enough, these Zhao army advisers and generals went back drunk one by one.

 This celebration lasted for two days in Zhao Jun's eldest son city.

 Two days later, Zhao Xie was about to lead the army back to Taiyuan County, but before leaving, he refused to let him search the city of the eldest son.

 Zhao Xie is now ready to lead the army back to Jinyang and become emperor.

 "Report, report to the king, just received the definite news that the Qin army captured Pingyang four days ago."

 A scout of the Zhao army sent such bad news when Zhao Xie led the army and had just left the eldest son city.

 "What? Pingyang was captured by the Qin army?

 This king let the Qin army go on a horse in Anyi City, and the tyrant Qin Emperor who didn't know what to do, dared to attack this king's Pingyang City.

 This is simply not taking this king seriously!

 Order the whole army to divert to the west, and the king will not return to Jinyang for the time being, but go to Pingyang.

 After this king destroys this ignorant Qin army, he will return to Jinyang to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor. "

 After Zhao Xie heard the news, he was immediately angry and gave an order to divert the army.

 Then, under the leadership of Zhao Xie, the nearly 30 Zhao troops rushed to Pingyang City.

 "My lord, this time I'm going to Pingyang, try not to attack the city.
