Chapter 118 Wang Zhaolin is promoted to commander-in-chief! Wang Yan is about to give birth!

"Qin Army."

"How dare you directly attack me, the Wei Dynasty?"

"Do they want to start a war with me, the Wei Dynasty?"

"Attack two countries at the same time? How dare he, Qin, do it?"

King Wei's expression suddenly changed.

Although Wei Wuji was defeated, he thought that Qin was now attacking Zhao, so in the short term, he did not need to worry about Wei's safety. But now, the situation does not seem to be what he thought.

"uncle?"

King Wei turned his attention to Wei Wuji.

"Your Majesty, don't panic." Wei Wuji raised his hand, a calm look on his face.

"Bring me the map of Wei." Wei Wuji immediately shouted.

echoed.

Several Wei palace guards immediately brought over a map of Wei.

"Point out which cities the Qin army has conquered." Wei Wuji said to the urgent soldier.

"promise."

The emergency soldier immediately stood up and walked to the map.

Then point one by one with your hand.

Following the soldier's instructions, Wei Wuji's expression became more and more serious.

"The Qin army's goal is not Wei, but the State of Zhao."

Wei Wuji pointed his hand and landed on the border of Zhao State.

"Does this Qin army want to capture a road to Zhao from Wei Dynasty?" King Wei immediately understood.

"Zhao Feng is truly an outstanding person."

"How dare he have such courage and dare to use troops like this."

Wei Wuji said with a solemn expression.

The fear of Zhao Feng in his eyes has reached the extreme.

"Uncle, what should I, the Great Wei, do?"

"Can we really stop this Qin army?" King Wei asked worriedly.

He didn't know much about military affairs, so he could only pin his hopes on Wei Wuji.

"Judging from the speed of the Qin army's attack, their strength is no less than 70,000, and there may even be more."

"It's impossible for the county soldiers in those cities to stop them."

"If you want to stop the Qin army, you can only take this opportunity to send more troops to Lincheng. It is the largest city leading to Zhao State. The city defense is strong. An army of tens of thousands can stop the Qin army of a hundred thousand."

Wei Wuji scanned the map and finally settled on the most critical city leading to Zhao Kingdom.

"Uncle, you are well aware of the troops and supplies that Wei Dynasty has mobilized now."

"No matter how you arrange it, uncle, just let it go."

"If this Qin army is allowed to kill Zhao, it will be a bad thing." King Wei said solemnly.

If Wei had not had to rely on Zhao to compete with Qin, even the king of Wei would have given up those cities.

"The old minister will naturally understand what the king says."

"This Qin army must not allow him to enter Zhao, otherwise Zhao will be attacked from both sides."

"I will immediately order 50,000 troops to garrison Lincheng. I believe we will be able to block the Qin army with our defensive strength," Wei Wuji said immediately.

"Is fifty thousand troops enough?" King Wei was worried.

"The old minister was defeated in this battle, and the country's power was greatly damaged. If we want to maintain it, we can only mobilize an army of 50,000 at most. If there are more, our Wei Dynasty will truly have no foundation to protect the country." Wei Wuji sighed, his eyes filled with shame. .

This time Weicheng was defeated.

Everyone knew that Wei Wuji was defeated, and he was defeated at the hands of a young general from Qin.

A lifetime of prestige is lost in one day.

"Then let's do everything according to uncle's wishes."

"This Qin army will definitely not be able to enter Zhao." King Wei nodded immediately.

"Except for deploying troops to guard."

"The most important thing is that the State of Zhao withdraws its troops from the State of Yan and returns to aid. Only the 300,000 elites of the State of Zhao have returned to Zhao, so there is no need to worry about the State of Qin."

"The King of Zhao must be notified of the Qin army's intention to attack our Wei city and enter Zhao. I believe he will definitely think it through." Wei Wuji said solemnly.

…

Another Wei city that was conquered!

"General."

"Something has changed."

"There are less than a thousand Wei troops stationed in this city. After interrogation by the general, there were originally four thousand county soldiers in this city, but they were transferred to Lincheng by a transfer order." Tu Sui respectfully faced Zhao Feng Reported.

"Obviously."

"Wei Wuji saw my intention." Zhao Feng smiled lightly, not surprised.

"Wei Wuji is planning to stop us in Lincheng?" Tu Sui immediately understood.

"Lincheng is a border town on the border between Wei and Zhao. It is also a city with high walls and thick walls."

"Wei Wuji placed the garrison there to block our army from entering Zhao." Zhao Feng said.

"Judging from the number of Wei soldiers along the way, their strength is no less than 30,000. If Wei Wuji dispatches more elites, there will really be no shortage of Wei troops stationed in Lincheng."

"I'm afraid it won't be that easy for us to step into the Kingdom of Zhao." Wei Quan said with a worried look.

"Indeed, it is not that easy to conquer Lincheng, but you must also think about one thing. Originally, it would take us two months to conquer these Wei cities, but now that Wei has withdrawn its troops from these cities, our army If we divide our forces, half a month will be enough to capture all the other cities except Lincheng."

"Take a step back and tell me."

"Even if we can't break through Lincheng or step into the Zhao Kingdom, our army has not been defeated."

"Now we are striving for victory under the premise of a big victory, rather than being radical after defeat." Zhao Feng said with a bit of a smile.

Hear these words.

The generals around him also suddenly came to their senses.

"yes."

"Even if the Wei army stationed troops to guard Lincheng, they should be the ones to worry about. We have nothing to worry about."

"If it really cannot be conquered, capturing these dozens of cities in Wei State will be a great achievement."

"The initiative lies with our generals, not with Wei."

All the generals suddenly came back to their senses.

After all.

The order they originally received was to guard Weicheng. The reason they mobilized troops against Wei at this moment was because Zhao Feng wanted to continue his achievements and there was no death order from Xianyang.

What specific results have been achieved and when will the troops stop?

Everything depends on Zhao Feng.

"Report."

"The envoy from King Xianyang has arrived."

Zhang Ming's voice came over.

"It's finally here."

"This general may be promoted to the rank of general." Tu Sui and other generals said with excitement.

"Not only can I be promoted to the rank of general, but perhaps you generals can also be promoted." Zhao Feng smiled slightly.

Hear this.

Wei Quan, Liu Wang and other generals all looked excited.

Act as a general and become a true general.

"Walk."

"Don't keep the envoy waiting for too long." Zhao Feng smiled, turned around and went down to the tower.

Head on.

A hundred imperial guards from Xianyang Palace arrived with their subordinates.

"General Zhao."

When he saw Zhao Feng, the imperial guard immediately held his fists and performed a military salute.

"Brother, we are really destined."

When Zhao Feng saw this hundred generals, he immediately smiled.

It was him who came to convey the king's edict last time, but he didn't expect it to be the same now.

"It is the honor of the last general to be able to deliver the edict to General Zhao." The hundred generals said very respectfully.

"What is the king's edict this time?" Zhao Feng smiled and got to the point.

"Edict of the King of Qin."

The generals did not hesitate and took out the royal edict from their arms.

"Your Majesty Zhao Feng, I respectfully listen to the king's edict." Zhao Feng immediately bowed.

The generals behind him also bowed one after another: "I respectfully listen to the king's edict."

"Edict of the King of Qin."

"Vice General Zhao Feng guarded Weicheng, defeated the Wei army, and defeated Wei Wuji. This is a great achievement."

"Give Zhao a rank of official promotion, to the rank of general, to enjoy the monthly salary of the general, and to enjoy the authority of the general."

"Give the Lord the right to organize five hundred personal guards."

"Also, I will give you a thousand pieces of gold, fifty thousand coins, a hundred servants, a hundred pieces of jade, a thousand pieces of fine cloth, and fifty guards."

"All rewards will be given to General Zhao's hometown."

"Gu, I hope Zhao Qing will continue his efforts and make new contributions to the Qin Dynasty."

"After Zhao is defeated, he will be rewarded based on his merits." The hundred generals of the Imperial Guard read loudly.

I heard this royal edict.

Zhao Feng did not hesitate and stepped forward immediately: "I, Zhao Feng, would like to thank the king for your kindness."

And all the generals behind Zhao Feng were smiling.

Especially Zhao Feng's confidants, Zhao Feng was promoted to the rank of general, and his status rose with the tide. Naturally, the same was true for them who were generals.

The hundred generals immediately placed the Wang Zhao in Zhao Feng's hands.

"Congratulations to General Zhao."

"From today on, General Zhao will be the youngest general in our country, the Qin Dynasty, and even the world."

"If General Zhao defeats Wei Wuji, the world will be shaken." The hundred generals of the Imperial Guard said with awe.

Everyone in the army knew that Zhao Feng had endless potential, but no one expected that Zhao Feng would be promoted so quickly.

"This is the protection of King Long En." Zhao Feng said politely.

"General Zhao."

"This is the edict granting power from the king."

"This edict, in addition to allowing General Zhao to control his troops and horses, also gives General Zhao the power to control 50,000 logistics troops." The Hundred Generals of the Imperial Guard took out another edict.

"I accept the edict." Zhao Feng immediately accepted the order.

Being promoted to the rank of general is a qualitative leap. Not only can he control his two lieutenants and ten thousand generals, but he can also control a logistics army of fifty thousand people.

One hundred thousand soldiers are for the main battle, and 50,000 are for the logistics army.

This is the power of the general.

"Now that I have been promoted to the rank of general, can I have two deputy generals under my command?" Zhao Feng asked with a smile.

"General Zhao has become the chief general, and he will have two deputy generals under his command. As for the candidates..." Baijiang smiled: "The king has already told me that all rewards will be based on merit."

"I wonder where the Sima of the Chinese Army is?"

The guard general glanced at it and asked loudly.

"The end will be here."

Kuai Pu came out immediately, with an expression of awe.

"The king's edict."

One hundred generals of the Imperial Guard came out with another edict.

"I respectfully listen to the king's edict." Kuai Pu immediately bowed.

"The king's edict."

"In the battle to guard Weicheng, the soldiers under General Zhao Feng fought bravely to kill the enemy, and their hard work was highly rewarded."

"It's so comforting to be alone."

"now."

"All rewards are based on merit, and the Sima of the Chinese Army is responsible for executing them."

"The candidates for deputy general under Zhao Feng will be recommended by Zhao Feng and promoted according to military merit."

"In addition, Zhao Qing's request is to provide pensions to all the prisoners and soldiers who died fighting for the Qin Dynasty. I grant it." The hundred generals of the Imperial Guard read loudly.

"I accept the imperial edict." Kuai Pu responded loudly.

"As expected of Qin Shihuang, the pension for the prisoners' soldiers has also been approved." Zhao Feng was certain in his heart.

For this request.

Fortunately, Zhao Feng dared to plead like this when facing Qin Shihuang. If he had faced those stupid kings, he would have refused.

After all, it would take a lot of money to pay out the pensions to all the prisoners who died in the war.

"Kuai Sima, please accept the imperial edict," the imperial guard said.

"I accept the imperial edict." Kuai Pu responded immediately.

"All the royal edicts have been sent, so the last general will retire first." The generals of the Imperial Guard said respectfully.

"Thank you." Zhao Feng returned the gesture with his fists clasped.

Wait for the hundred generals of the imperial guard to leave.

"Kuai Sima."

"It will be counted according to military merit."

"The four deputy generals under my command can be promoted." Zhao Feng smiled slightly.

"The generals have defended Weicheng without losing it, which is a great merit. Of course, they can be promoted. As for the promotion of titles, I will also report to the Shaofu." Kuai Pu said immediately.

"As for my deputy generals, I will recommend Tu Sui and Zhang Han."

"The two of them have good commanding ability and can definitely take on this important task." Zhao Feng said.

"General Tu and General Zhang are naturally qualified to be deputy generals." Kuai Pu also nodded.

The royal edict clearly stated it.

The right to recommend deputy generals was given to Zhao Feng.

This is also a kind of royal favor.

"Thank you, Sima Kuai." Zhao Feng smiled.

And the reason why Tu Sui and Zhang Han were chosen.

First, Tu Sui came from Yongcheng and was originally loyal. As a deputy general, the King of Qin would never say anything. Secondly, as for Zhang Han, Zhao Feng took him to carry out a surprise attack this time in order to win military merit for Zhang Han. Although he stayed in Weicheng this time, the military merit has been achieved.

"General Zhao."

"Now the king's edict has come, and the king has issued an edict to reward the entire army according to military merit."

"I will also go to deal with it first." Kuai Pu said.

"Kuai Sima will go first, and I will also dispatch military affairs." Zhao Feng smiled.

Wait for Kuai Pu to leave.

"General."

"Now we have become real generals of ten thousand." Wei Quan said excitedly.

"Haha, yes."

"Who could have thought of it."

"We used to be logistics troops, and the highest official position was no more than a hundred generals, but now we have become ten thousand generals."

"Following the general, we have made a name for ourselves."

"We have become real generals."

Liu Wang, Zhuang Wei and the other two were also very excited.

They really couldn't imagine that he would be in this position now.

Especially Wei Quan, he witnessed Zhao Feng's progress step by step.

Two years ago, he was still a logistics soldier, but now he has become the chief general of the main battle camp of the Qin Dynasty. If the military system is complete, he can command 150,000 people.

This is real military power!

"General, thank you very much."

"I will repay you with my life." Tu Sui also said excitedly.

Coming from Yongcheng, a commander of 5,000 guards, it seems that he has a bright future, but he has no chance to make meritorious deeds. But now he has only been in Weicheng for a short time? He has jumped two levels in official position.

"No need to say more nonsense."

"All of them are assigned to the armies. Tell all the soldiers that from today on, there will be no more prisoners in my army. Every one of them is a soldier of the Great Qin, and they will be granted military status. Soldiers who have escaped from slavery and killed the enemy will be rewarded according to the military merit system."

"All prisoners who died for the Great Qin will be paid according to the pension system of the Great Qin soldiers."

"Tu Sui and Zhang Han will be promoted to deputy generals, and the vacant Wanjiang will be replaced by meritorious captains. Everything must be reasonable."

"Go." Zhao Feng waved his hand and shouted in a powerful voice.

"I will obey your order."

The generals were very excited at this moment.

Wait for the generals to leave.

Zhao Feng glanced at the tower, found a place to sit down, and then looked at Zhang Ming.

"My lord."

Zhang Ming came over immediately.

"Now I have been promoted to the chief general, and I can recruit 500 personal guards."

"Old rules, old brother, be loyal to me."

"After I really check it, you can be appointed as my personal guards." Zhao Feng said in a deep voice.

"Yes." Zhang Ming immediately took the order and went.

Wait until Zhang Ming left.

Zhao Feng calmed down, and there was a hint of expectation in his eyes: "The position of chief general, the official seal of luck can be promoted again."

Then.

Zhao Feng called out the upgrade panel of the official seal of luck.

"Promoted to the position of chief general, with the luck of the chief general of the dynasty, do you want to upgrade the official seal of luck?" The panel appeared a prompt.

"Upgrade." Zhao Feng said immediately.

As Zhao Feng's order was issued.

On the official seal of luck, the two words [deputy general] changed to [chief general].

"Wear the official seal." Zhao Feng wore it immediately.

Immediately check the properties of the official seal of luck.

Come into view.

[Main General Seal]: Commanding the army under his command, the host can lead the charge to inspire the morale of his soldiers twice, and can increase the combat power of his soldiers twice. The host can lead his soldiers to carry corpses for burial, and can obtain 40% of the total burial soldier picking attribute.

"The attribute has doubled again."

"Not bad."

"It's a pity that it still hasn't become a killing enemy picking attribute. If it is killing an enemy picking, it will be a real attribute surge." Zhao Feng thought with a little disappointment.

However.

With this two-fold increase in combat power, even if the logistics army gets this doubled combat power, it will be enough to match the elite.

And this attribute also belongs to Zhao Feng. As long as Zhao Feng commands the troops, his soldiers can get the increase of this luck official seal, or use the power of luck, but if Zhao Feng commands the troops, there will be no increase in combat power.

Quyang City!

After several days of bloody battles.

Inside and outside the city are soldiers from both Qin and Zhao.

Quyang, where Lian Po was stationed, was naturally an iron barrel at first, but under the attack of Wang Jian's army, the city gate was finally breached, and Lian Po led the army to evacuate.

On the city tower.

Wang Jian personally threw the Zhao flag planted on the city down the city, and then planted the Qin flag on the city tower.

"Lian Po was extremely cunning in this battle."

"Although our army captured the city, all the baggage in the city was transported away by Lian Po, and not a single soldier in the city surrendered, all of them were killed." Yang Duanhe said in a deep voice.

"Lian Po is strict in managing the army, and the soldiers under his command are naturally very convinced of him."

"It's not surprising that there are no surrendered soldiers." Wang Jian said calmly.

"We got intelligence before that Lian Po wanted to defend Quyang City, but now Lian Po has escaped."

"I wonder if the information is wrong or something?" Yang Duanhe said with some confusion.

"The answer is simple."

"King Zhao has no plans to withdraw his troops from Yan State." Wang Jian sneered and immediately found the real key to the problem.

"We have reached this point, and King Zhao still refuses to withdraw his troops."

"King Zhao is really stupid."

"It is really a pity that Lian Po serves such a king."

"How could he end up in such a situation if he was used by our Great Qin?" Yang Duanhe couldn't help but mocked.

"Report."

"Zhao Feng sent a military report."

"Please take a look at it, General."

Wang Jian's personal guard commander returned and loudly reported.

"They should be the casualties in the Battle of Weicheng." Wang Jian smiled slightly, and then said: "Read it."

"promise."

The commander of the personal guards did not hesitate and immediately opened the military report: "The last general Zhao Feng reported that the Wei army attacked our Weicheng in a battle. One hundred thousand soldiers guarded the city. Our army suffered a total of more than 43,000 casualties, including 28,000 killed. More than a thousand people were injured, and more than 15,000 were injured.”

"As for the Wei army, our army wiped out nearly 100,000 of them."

"This battle can be described as a great victory!"

Hear this number.

Wang Jian's eyes also lit up.

"It seems that I still underestimate Zhao Feng."

"Destroyed Wei Wuji with twice the inferior force, and killed nearly 100,000 of Wei Wuji's troops, with only over 40,000 casualties."

"The weak defeated the strong in this battle, which is really good." Wang Jian said with a somewhat praising tone.

In this battle, if the guards are all Qin warriors, there are no new soldiers or surrendered soldiers.

Just because there were so many casualties in defending the city, Wang Jian would never call it a great victory.

But Zhao Feng only had more than 30,000 veterans and more than 20,000 recruits under his command, and the rest were all reduced soldiers.

How can we not call it a great victory if we can achieve such a result?

"After defeating the Wei army, the last general continued to lead the attack. He killed Wei General Gongsun Xi and eight thousand Wei soldiers. He continued to march towards Wei and conquered eight Wei cities in a row..." the guard commander continued to read.

As soon as these words fell.

Wang Jian's expression changed, and he looked at the commander of the guards in a dull manner.

The same goes for Yang Duanhe on the side.

"Did Zhao Feng lead his troops to attack Wei?" Yang Duanhe said in great surprise.

"When General Zhao met General Zhao at the end of the day, he had conquered eight cities. Now that these days have passed, many more Wei cities should have been conquered." the guard commander added.

Wang Jian came back to his senses, and the surprise on his face turned into a smile: "This kid is really bold."

"Isn't General Zhao afraid of Wei's counterattack?"

"Although the Wei State was beheaded by 100,000 troops, there are still hundreds of thousands of troops in the country. If we counterattack with all our strength, General Zhao will probably be wiped out." Yang Duanhe said worriedly.

"General Yang thinks too highly of the Wei State." Wang Jian smiled faintly: "The Wei State of today is no longer the Wei State of the past. The 200,000 troops Wei Wuji sent to attack that day was already the full strength that the Wei State could mobilize. He wanted to counterattack Zhao Feng, it’s not that simple.”

"But General Zhao entered alone. After the battle in Weicheng, he only had less than 60,000 fighting troops around him. If Wei really counterattacks and there is no backup, it will be dangerous."

"With his 60,000 troops to attack Wei, this general... I really can't imagine what General Zhao is going to do." Yang Duanhe said in surprise.

Wang Jian smiled slightly, already understanding Zhao Feng's purpose.

"Get the map." Wang Jian shouted.

echoed.

The commander of the personal guards immediately took out a map and opened it.

"Is this a city that Zhao Feng conquered?" Wang Jian pointed to the Wei city on the map.

"Exactly." The guard commander immediately nodded and replied.

"General Yang, can't you see that these cities are connected together?" Wang Jian smiled.

Yang Duanhe immediately cast his gaze and understood immediately, but his expression looked very strange: "Is it possible that General Zhao wants to open the road from Wei to Zhao with a mere 60,000 troops?"

"It's almost impossible to do."

"We can see through his purpose, and Wei Wuji can definitely see it as well."

"As long as Wei Wuji mobilizes tens of thousands of troops to guard a city, General Zhao will not be able to rush over." Yang Duanhe said firmly.

"If Zhao Feng really rushes over, it will be a blow to the Zhao State. If Zhao Feng fails to charge, at least the Wei State will be held back by him, and it will not be able to send reinforcements to the Zhao State."

"This matter is beneficial to us, Da Qin." Wang Jian said in a deep voice.

Obviously.

He supports Zhao Feng in this way.

"But..." Yang Duanhe was still a little weird.

"The king has granted Zhao Feng full authority to command the military affairs of Weicheng. Since he is so courageous, let's see what he does."

"Anyway, the Wei army has been defeated and it is impossible to do it again."

"No matter how bad the result is, it can't be any worse." Wang Jian said, with a sense of undoubt in his words.

"General, I understand." Yang Duanhe nodded.

"alright."

"Lian Po has escaped, we must not give up the pursuit."

"Let Wang Ben continue the pursuit."

"Take advantage of the victory and pursue it." Wang Jian regained his seriousness and shouted in a deep voice.

…

Xianyang!

Go to the General's Mansion!

"Ah...ah..."

Cries of pain came from Wang Yan's room.

The maids came in and out one after another, very eagerly.

Wang, on the other hand, stood outside the hall and waited, her face full of worry.

"grandmother."

"Auntie, what's wrong?" Wang Li asked very curiously, but there was also worry on his face.

"Your aunt is going to give birth to a younger brother or younger sister for you." Wang said with a concerned look on her face.

"Why does it hurt so much to give birth to a younger brother or sister?"

"I can tell that my aunt is feeling very uncomfortable." Wang Li also said worriedly.

"Yes." Wang nodded.

But this time.

Wang Li suddenly thought of something and raised his head to look at his grandmother: "Is it because my mother is not here because she gave birth to me?"

The words fell.

Wang looked down and a flash of panic flashed across her face, but she said hurriedly: "Li'er, you can't think too much."

Said.

Wang directly hugged Wang Li.

It lasted a long time.

"Wow...wow..."

There were sounds of babies crying.

"Congratulations ma'am."

"The young lady gave birth to a little boy."

A maid hurriedly ran out to report.

"As long as you are born, it will be fine."

"Is Yan'er okay?" Wang asked immediately, feeling a little relieved.
