Chaotic Qin

"Oh my God, run away!! The whole barracks is on fire!!!" The soldiers of the Yan Army were terrified and ran around covering their faces.

Ju Xin roared loudly: "You are not allowed to run away, you must follow the law to run away before the battle... ah!"

A soldier who didn't know where came knocked Ju Xin down with a stick, and then hurried past him, rushing towards the safe south gate.

However, under the leadership of Li Mu, the Qin army blocked the two exits of the Yan army early, and whenever a Yan army ran out, they were intercepted and tied up.

The Yan army who escaped from the fire had no intention of resisting at all.

The 23 people who escaped were guarded by Qin Jun, who had only 4 people left, crouching in the corner with their heads in their arms and shivering like lambs who had just been born with no resistance.

"Where's Yao Shangqing? Has he come out?" Qin Chu led a group of soldiers to bring out the wounded Young Master Yingji from the middle of the fire. His eyes couldn't help turning around among the generals in the field, searching for Yao Jia. figure.

Li Mu directed the military medical officer to help Young Master Yingji go down for treatment and rest, then pointed to the camp behind and said, "Yao Shangqing suffered a small injury and has already gone to recuperate."

Qin Chu said nervously, "He didn't hurt his face, did he?"

If the civil servant has an injury on his face, he cannot continue to enter and leave the court!

Li Mu comforted: "Although there are some bruises on his face, Yao Shangqing did not leave a wound that cannot be healed in the future."

Hearing Li Mu's answer, Qin Chu instantly relaxed, bowed his hands gratefully, and walked towards the barracks without hesitation.

Burning the enemy camp, Li Mu won in one fell swoop.

Although Yan Wangxi fled to Liaodong with the few remaining treasures and a group of old and weak soldiers, when the map and seal of Yan Kingdom were mastered by Li Mu, the Qin army had already won a substantial victory.

Li Mu finally showed a smile on his face, waved his hand fiercely, and said loudly: "After the prisoners of war are rectified, our class will return to Qin!"

But when these words were finished, the smile on Li Mu's face suddenly disappeared without a trace.

He suddenly covered his old face with a pair of rough hands, and wept bitterly - the place he wanted to go back to was no longer the Zhao country he had fought for all his life and tried his best to maintain, and there were really very few soldiers left under him However, Xianyang, the capital of the Qin Kingdom, did not return to their homeland with glory.

"...General Li Mu." Li Xin stood quietly behind Li Mu, and did not disturb Li Mu to release his emotions.

Li Xin is a native of Qin.

He didn't understand Li Mu's grief, but this did not prevent Li Mu from waiting for the veteran to calm down slowly.

A sad smile appeared on Li Mu's face, he shook his head, and said in a low voice, "Thank you very much, I'm fine."

"General, go and rest for a while, and leave the rest to the general. The general will not cause any more trouble." Since Li Xin implicated Young Master Yingji, his whole temperament instantly leaked from the cold light of the sword Putting it in the scabbard, he became calm and steady.

Li Mu didn't hold back.

He nodded and said in a low voice: "I'll leave the aftermath to you. The old man is getting old, so go and have a rest first."

After explaining the task, Li Mu turned around and left.

Li Xin stood there watching Li Mu leave, and couldn't help frowning—why did he feel that General Li Mu seemed to have aged in an instant?

Yan Jun is not full of resistance consciousness like Zhao Jun.

After they were guarded by Qin Jun, they all seemed lifeless and muddling along. Whatever Qin Jun asked them to do, they did.

Early the next morning, Yao Jia appeared in Li Mu's handsome tent with a bruised and swollen face and sat down.

When several generals were arguing over how to deal with the 23 Yan army, he quietly listened to their conversation.

When the call to kill the Yan army became the highest point, Yao Jia finally spoke: "The lord has an order. After defeating the Yan country, the soldiers of the former Yan country are the people of our Great Qin. You must not massacre civilians."

Li Mu has never been as murderous as Bai Qi.

Therefore, when the generals under him were arguing endlessly, Li Mu never expressed his opinion.

Hearing Yao Jia's voice at this moment, he immediately said: "If Yao Shangqing has any insight, you might as well say it, so that we, warriors, can solve our current predicament."

Unlike South Korea, Yan State has a full warehouse of grain.

Although there is a lot of food in Jicheng, the amount of food is obviously not enough to feed 23 mouths all day long.

"It's time for spring plowing again, why don't we register them on the roster and send them back to their homeland, and then serve corvée in the slack season and go to Zhao to build canals—Yao Jia thought that compared to their lives, they would definitely not mind serving ten years of corvée. " Yao Jia said and laughed.

Yao Jia and this group of generals never thought about different things.

What the general is worried about is that the Yan army will once again rely on their numbers to cause chaos, but what Yao Jia cares about is how many people are missing for the project that the lord is going to preside over!

Yao Jia has always been a smart person with vision.

He has long seen clearly that the ruler of the country does not want the people to bear heavy taxes, nor does he want them to serve heavy corvee.

Otherwise, given the unstoppable aura of Great Qin, the lord would not still live in the Xianyang Palace built by previous generations of lords at this time, and never build a more magnificent palace.

How could a lord who put all his heart and soul into building water conservancy projects and seeking the well-being of the people hoped to destroy so many young and strong labor force by brutal means in the process of his conquest of the Chinese land?

The lord of the country must hope to save the lives of these people and do something worth doing.

Yao Jia did not hesitate to propose to the generals present the method of redeeming their lives with corvee.

He stared closely at the generals present, waiting for their answers.

Most of the generals present were not thoughtful enough, and Yao Jia had been trusted by the lord for many years, they looked at each other a few times, and they all agreed with this method.

Li Mu even said directly: "Then this matter will be managed by Yao Shangqing. The lord told us to hurry back to the country, I am afraid there is something to be done by us, and please Yao Shangqing to spend more time here."

Yao Jia laughed nonchalantly, put his hands down to deal with these complicated matters and said, "Thank you General Li Mu for your trust, Yao Jia will handle this matter well, but I need some helpers who can write, I don't know if the general can provide some. "

Counting the identities of 23 people is not an easy task.

No matter how capable Yao Jia was, he couldn't handle so much content by himself.

"General Qin Chu has about fifty literate soldiers under him. If Yao Shangqing doesn't mind, you can send him some people." Li Mu said with a smile.

Li Mu had long planned to keep Qin Chu together.

In this way, not only can Qin Chu help Yao Jia count the prisoners of war, but also allow Qin Chu to give some color to the soldiers who are cautious but not convinced by him, and convince them all.

"Thank you, General." Yao Jia showed a joyful smile and happily agreed to the matter.

Although the war in Yan State continued to fight back and forth, it ended earlier than the battle in Wei State, which kept waiting for the foundation of Daliang City to be soaked by the river.

Therefore, Li Mu, who had a long journey, and Wang Jian, who had a relatively short journey, led the army back to Xianyang City on the same day.

Qin Zichu took Yingzheng to the gate of the city early in the morning to wait for their return.

The sun shone warmly on Qin Zichu's face, and the solemn and solemn crown completely absorbed the heat of the sun, making Qin Zichu drowsy——Because Fan Sui was going to retire and return to his hometown, the situation in the court was a little shaken, Qin Zichu and Zhang Li went together Experienced the embarrassment from the courtiers.

Only when they are completely subdued can the entire Qin State truly let Qin Zichu do his best.

In order to give them a good look in court, Qin Zichu was always busy late at night.

"If you're sleepy, lean on my shoulder and sleep for a while." Ying Zheng frowned and pressed Qin Zichu on his shoulder.

He tightly covered Qin Zichu's eyes with his broad palms, preventing a ray of sunlight from leaking into his eyes.

The corner of Qin Zichu's mouth curled up into a faint smile, and he simply turned his body sideways, and his whole body was nestled into Ying Zheng's arms.

He rubbed the tip of his nose against Ying Zheng's cheek, smiled lazily, and then said in a low voice, "Then I'll sleep for a while, remember to wake me up when the two generals come over."

Ying Zheng gave a faint "hmm", looked at Qin Zichu's exhausted appearance, and suddenly said, "Zi Chu, if you feel hard work, abdicate."

Having known each other for many years, Qin Zichu certainly understood that Ying Zheng didn't say this to completely regain power from him.

But after thinking about it for a while, Qin Zichu still finds Ying Zheng's proposal very exciting—it is really a good choice to hand over the position of King Qin to Ying Zheng.

Qin Zichu smiled and said: "Okay, why don't we talk about it together when we reward the officials. I'm really tired of fighting with others, and I also want to sleep well, so I don't have to be woken up by the palace slaves every day. Go up to court to handle government affairs."

Seeing his coquettish expression, Ying Zheng couldn't help but raised his sleeve robe to cover the two of them, and took the initiative to move over to kiss Qin Zichu's lips, and said in a low voice, "Yes, I also want to be able to hug each other one morning. I am fascinated by you who are still in a daze and haven’t woken up, rather than facing the quilt with only residual warmth.”
