Not long after, Li Si and Wang Jian arrived at the main hall of Zhangtai Palace at the same time.
"Meet the king!"
They both said respectfully in unison.
"You two, take a look at this report first!"
Ying Zheng raised his hand, and Zhao Gao immediately sent the bamboo slips to Wang Jian and Li Si.
After watching it for a while, Wang Jian was dumbfounded on the spot.
The content of the report was still related to Baizhong. Not only did he find out that his military exploits were fine, but his military exploits were even more powerful, once again refreshing his understanding of Baizhong.
He actually killed 109 enemies!
Wang Jian was thinking that even if he allowed so many people to stand still in front of him and let him chop them, he might get a sore hand from the chops.
Is Bai Zhong still a human?
"This is impossible!"
This was the first time Li Si learned about Bai Zhong and asked in surprise: "Your Majesty, is there anything wrong with this report?"
"The content of the report is indeed true!"
Ying Zheng said calmly.
"Even if you kill nineteen enemies, no one in the army can do it, let alone a new recruit, one hundred and nine... I think it is impossible."
Li Si still couldn't believe it and continued: "The general can't do this either!"
Wang Jian shook his head and said: "Even if I were twenty years younger and at my strongest age, I would still be far inferior to him, but this man's military exploits are real."
Meng Yi said: "Li Tingwei thinks, who among the Qin army dares to falsely claim military merit and get such a big reward? Your Majesty has ordered me to send someone to check it out. General Huan and his subordinates can all testify."
Li Si was stunned for a while. Indeed, no one dared to falsely report his military exploits so much, unless he wanted to seek death. In other words, such amazing military exploits were all true!
Not only did Wang Jian and Meng Yi believe it, but even the king said it was true. Li Si couldn't find any other reason why he didn't believe it.
"How does Tingwei think that with such military exploits, he should be knighted?"
Ying Zheng asked.
Li Si came back to his senses, bowed and said immediately: "According to military law, Bai Zhong's merit in killing the enemy and beheading the commander of the Zhao army can be awarded the highest title, but this person has only been in the army for a few months.
I’m afraid it’s inappropriate to have a knighthood that is too high.”
His thoughts were the same as Huanjue's.
I dare not give Bai Zhong a reward too high.
"It's wrong for Tingwei to say that. Since King Shang's reform, the military merit system has been the core of our Qin army."
"If rewards are not awarded according to merit, the system will be ineffective and will chill the hearts of all soldiers."
"I believe that the warriors of the Qin Dynasty are not divided into veterans and new recruits. As long as they can kill the enemy and perform meritorious service, they should be treated equally."
"Please, Your Majesty, reward me for your merits."
Wang Jian stepped forward and said.
Meng Yi echoed: "I also believe that according to meritorious deeds, Baizhong should be rewarded and given a title."
"The warriors of the Qin Dynasty should be treated equally as long as they can kill the enemy and perform meritorious service!"
"Well said, General!"
"I will grant Baizhong the title of eighth-class public chariot."
"Zhao Gao, draft a royal edict for me and send it to Huanjue's army as soon as possible."
Ying Zheng's majestic voice echoed in the hall.
Zhao Gao bowed and said: "Wei!"
He knew that this young man named Bai Zhong had already entered the King's sight. If he made a few more achievements, it would no longer be a dream to soar into the sky, and he was very envious.
——
Handan.
In the palace of Zhao State, the atmosphere was tense and depressing.
The armies of Wang Ben and Meng Wu have already attacked Fanwu, Yecheng, and even further to Handan. The news has reached Zhao Wangqian.
All the ministers in the palace were silent, not even daring to breathe hard.
Zhao Wangqian walked around, anxious, pointed at the group of ministers, and asked angrily: "What on earth are we going to do? You guys talk!"
The ministers continued to be silent.
"If you don't say anything, I will chop you all down!"
"The Qin army is about to reach Handan, but you are still here without saying a word."
"How to defend against the enemy?"
"You come and tell me!"
Zhao Wangqian pointed at a minister angrily and shouted: "If you come up with a solution, I will give you three levels in a row!"
"Your Majesty, I am in charge of Qiangu. These have nothing to do with me, and I don't have any methods!"
The minister quickly distanced himself from the relationship.
"You have no method, what use do I have for you?"
Zhao Wangqian said angrily: "Come here, drag him down and chop him down."
"Your Majesty, please spare my life..."
The minister was so frightened that he knelt down and begged.
"Your Majesty, I have an idea!"
Among the ministers, Guo Kai thought hard for a moment and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Zhao, Han and Wei are one family. If Zhao disappears, Han and Wei will definitely be destroyed by Qin. I propose that while people stick to Fanwu and Yecheng, I will ask for help."
Han Wei supports."
"Only the unity of our three countries can stop the Qin army. If any one country is destroyed, it will be a loss for the other two countries. I believe that Han and Wei will definitely agree to support."
Zhao Wangqian's eyes lit up, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.
If the three Jins came from the same family, Han and Wei would definitely not watch Zhao being destroyed.
If Zhao is gone, it will be their turn next.
"Hurry up and send someone as an envoy to Han and Wei!"
Zhao Wangqian quickly said: "Guo Kai, you are responsible for the envoy's mission. You must be quick!"
"I accept your order!"
However, Guo Kaigang responded that a soldier hurriedly walked in outside the hall.
"Your Majesty, urgent military situation!"
The soldier shouted, holding up a bamboo slip.
An attendant took the bamboo slips and sent them to Zhao Wangqian.
Before he could finish reading the above content, Zhao Wangqian threw himself to the ground hard and said fiercely: "Chili has been lost, the Qin army is attacking Yi'an, what on earth did Li Mu do in the north!"
Hearing that Chili had been lost, the officials were panicked again.
"I have said that if Chili Yi'an makes a mistake, he must be killed!"
Zhao Wangqian gritted his teeth and said: "I am sending an edict to ask Li Mu to come back and die!"
"No, Your Majesty!"
"General Li must be restrained by the Huns and unable to escape."
"If General Li dies, no one in Zhao will be able to stop the Qin army!"
A group of ministers quickly begged for mercy for Li Mu.
How could they let the king kill Li Mu, otherwise Zhao would be destroyed.
Zhao Wangqian was really angry, but thinking of Li Mu's importance, he said sternly: "If Yi'an falls again, let Li Mu come back to see me with his head in his hands!"
——
News of the war between Qin and Zhao spread quickly among the countries.
The envoys sent by Guo Kai were summoned by the two kings of Han and Wei respectively. In the end, both Han and Wei were persuaded and agreed to send troops to rescue Zhao.
These news also reached Yi'an City.
"General, the King of Han and the King of Wei have agreed to send troops."
Zhao Cong handed the latest military information to Li Mu.
Li Mu looked at it briefly for a while and said happily: "Our king is finally no longer stupid."
He asked Han and Wei to send troops to support him. As long as he could hold back the Qin army, he could immediately return reinforcements and expel all the Qin troops from the Zhao territory after he took control of Huanjue in the north.
"General, be careful what you say!"
Zhao Cong reminded.
Criticizing the monarch in private is a capital offense.
The conflict between Li Mu and Zhao Wangqian is not serious. If this sentence is spread back, the consequences will be serious.
"I know!"
Li Mu responded casually and was about to go back to the military camp when he heard the sound of war drums coming from the direction of the city tower.
"Two generals, the Qin army is coming to attack the city again!"
A soldier came over anxiously.
