Hearing the word "victory", the two people who were originally gloating over Zhao Feng's misfortune became a little uneasy.

Zhao Feng defended Weicheng.

To anyone with a discerning eye, it was a war that could not be defended, and it was impossible to win a battle against Wei Wuji.

But now, it seems to have changed!

"Great victory?"

Ying Zheng was a little surprised to hear this, and then stared at the messenger and said loudly: "Are you sure it was a great victory?"

"Report to the king."

"Weicheng was a great victory. This military report was personally submitted by the Sima of the Central Army of Weicheng. It was first reported by the general, and then by the general." The messenger reported loudly.

"Is it really a victory? Could it be that something happened in Wei State that made Wei Wuji withdraw his troops?" Ying Zheng thought with some speculation.

As a wise and capable King of Qin, he could not think of what the result of the Weicheng battle would be.

"Present it." Ying Zheng waved his hand.

Zhao Gao immediately walked towards the palace, held up the battle report with both hands, and then knelt beside Ying Zheng to present it.

Ying Zheng took it and opened it.

His expression suddenly became surprised.

His originally confused face also showed a touch of shock and joy.

After a while.

He finished reading the victory report.

"Hahaha."

Ying Zheng suddenly laughed.

The whole court was filled with Ying Zheng's hearty and excited laughter.

The ministers in the court all focused their eyes on Ying Zheng, and it was obvious that they all saw that this victory report was a real victory report.

"Could it be that something really happened in Weicheng?"

"Great victory?"

"Did Wei Wuji retreat?" Wang Wan thought secretly.

"If the Wei army retreated, wouldn't it be a bargain for Zhao Feng?"

"At the beginning, the king issued an edict that if Zhao Feng could hold on, he could be promoted to the chief general." Chunyu Yue felt even worse at the moment.

Zhao Feng was already arrogant. If he was promoted to the position of the chief general, he would be even more arrogant in the future. Moreover, Zhao Feng was Wang Jian's future son-in-law. Thinking of this, Chunyu Yue was even more dissatisfied.

"My king."

"Did Weicheng have any victory?" Wei Liao stood up and asked curiously.

"Weicheng, a great victory."

Ying Zheng laughed and said.

Then he waved his hand.

He handed the victory report in his hand to Zhao Gao: "Read it to the ministers."

"Yes."

Zhao Gao respectfully accepted the order.

Then he slowly stood up and looked at the officials in front of the hall.

He opened the military report.

He saw the results of the battle report at a glance.

As a eunuch, he couldn't help but be shocked for a moment after seeing it.

But he soon came back to his senses.

"Weicheng Central Army Sima Kuai Pu reported."

"Wei Wuji led an army of 200,000 to attack Weicheng. They attacked for 20 consecutive days. Under the command of General Zhao Feng, our Weicheng soldiers vowed to defend the territory of the Qin Empire to the death."

"Wei invaded with the intention of slaughtering the Qin Empire. General Zhao Feng thought that if he did not defeat the Wei army, Wei Wuji would never retreat."

"Therefore, he took a risky move and personally led a large army to force a crossing of the Wei River at Hongze, the most difficult part of the river. He reached the Wei territory, attacked the Wei army by surprise, defeated tens of thousands of Wei soldiers guarding the Wei River, and planned to seize the Weicheng of the Wei Kingdom to cut off the Wei army's food. Road, cut off the retreat of the Wei army. "

"Before Wei Wuji received the news, General Zhao Feng led 5,000 troops to the south to attack Wei Wuji's rear. Wei Wuji hurriedly withdrew his troops, and finally defeated the Wei army under the attack of the soldiers defending Weicheng. "

"General Zhao personally killed Wei Wuji's deputy general Wei Bo, who was the deputy general of the Wei army, and also a member of the Wei royal family, the younger brother of the King of Wei, and the heir of Wei Wuji. "

"This battle. "

"General Zhao led his army to defeat the Wei army, killing nearly 100,000 Wei soldiers, and our Weicheng soldiers lost no more than 40,000. "

"Great victory. "

Zhao Gao read out loudly.

After hearing this victory report.

The whole court was shocked.

"Wei Wuji, was defeated like this?"

"And he was defeated by a deputy general of my Qin State?"

"Zhao Feng is only 18 years old, but he actually defeated a veteran general like Wei Wuji?"

"The military strength of Weicheng is inferior to that of the Wei army, only half of its strength, and it is also inferior in combat power. Among the 100,000 troops, only more than 30,000 are veteran warriors who have been on the battlefield, and the remaining nearly 20,000 are new soldiers, and there are 50,000 surrendered soldiers."

"With such combat power, he can actually defeat Wei Wuji?"

"How did Zhao Feng use his troops? In the past, it was said that this boy was a fierce general, but now it seems that he is a capable general who is good at commanding troops."

...

The ministers in the court could not help but discuss, and they were all extremely shocked by the battle report.

From the King of Qin to the hundreds of ministers in the court, none of them expected such a result.

Wang Wan and Chunyu Yue, who originally wanted to add insult to injury, looked very unhappy at the moment. They had no idea that Zhao Feng would be so powerful.

"Zhao Feng is really amazing."

"Wei Wuji was defeated by him, and he was at a disadvantage."

"Qin has Zhao Feng, his potential is comparable to Bai Qi in the past." Han Fei thought to himself.

Then.

Han Fei was the first to react, and immediately raised the court hu and said loudly: "Congratulations to the king, Weicheng has been settled, Yingchuan is worry-free, Wei will definitely not be able to send troops again after this defeat, and our great Qin can increase its offensive against Zhao."

After Han Fei spoke.

The ministers of the whole court also congratulated: "We congratulate the king."

Ying Zheng smiled and said loudly: "My lords, do you still have doubts about Zhao Feng? Do you still have doubts about the prisoner army?"

Hearing this question.

Wang Wan, who had just said that he would send someone to supervise the battle, immediately lowered his head and dared not speak.

Except for him.

The courtiers who had questioned whether Zhao Feng could stop the Wei army in the court in the past also shut up.

"Zhao Feng is worthy of being the youngest and most promising general in our Great Qin."

"Even I never thought of the result of this battle."

"As strong as Wei Wuji, an old general with a great reputation in the world, actually lost to Zhao Feng."

"After this battle, everyone in the world knows that our Great Qin has another capable general with a great reputation in the world."

"This is a blessing for me and the Great Qin." Ying Zheng laughed and said.

He was also very excited at this moment.

Perhaps Ying Zheng and Wang Jian thought the same thing in their hearts. The danger of Weicheng has been resolved, and there will be no more troubles after destroying Zhao this time.

"I congratulate the king on getting such a capable general."

"Zhao Feng is so young but has such a commanding ability. The king has another capable general under his command." Li Si immediately complimented.

"It is easy to get thousands of troops, but it is hard to get a general."

"But what is hard to get is a brave general."

"And what I have now is not just a brave general, but a real capable general."

At this moment.

Ying Zheng also has a great regard for Zhao Feng.

The ministers in the court can clearly hear his regard for Zhao Feng in his words, and see Zhao Feng's infinite potential in the future.

"Congratulations to the king." The civil and military officials in the court shouted.

"Report to the king."

"In addition to the victory report from Weicheng, there is also a military report of punishment submitted by the general." The messenger said again, holding out another bamboo slip in his hand.

"Punishment?"

Ying Zheng was slightly stunned, and then waved his hand: "Show it."

Zhao Gao held up the report again.

When Ying Zheng finished reading.

The smile on his face instantly turned livid.

"Asshole."

"When the enemy army was in danger of attacking the city, they dared to disobey the order of the superior general and abandon the city."

"This act is absolutely unforgivable." Ying Zheng shouted coldly, with a look of anger.

The ministers in the hall watched anxiously, not knowing what was going on.

"Five generals of ten thousand and five generals of ten thousand."

"Eight of the generals of ten thousand strictly followed the orders set by Zhao Feng, swore to defend Weicheng, and fought to the death with the most elite Wei Wuzu of Wei State. It was precisely because of these generals who led their soldiers to fight the Wei army that Zhao Feng was able to defeat the enemy by surprise."

"But there were still two generals who did not respect Zhao Feng's orders and did not defend the city. Instead, when Zhao Feng was planning to defeat the enemy by surprise, they led their troops to withdraw from Weicheng, leaving 20,000 fewer soldiers left. If it were not for the desperate fight between the soldiers in the city, let alone defeating the Wei army, I am afraid that the entire Yingchuan would fall, and my Qin would be in danger." Ying Zheng shouted coldly.

The angry expression made the whole court feel depressed.

And hearing this.

Wei Zhuang's heart was uneasy.

Why did he know the situation in Weicheng and that Zhao Feng was not in Weicheng? Obviously, someone secretly reported it to him, and that person was naturally one of Chen Tao and Zhao Tuo.

"May I ask the king, which two generals dared to do this?"

"This crime is unforgivable." Li Si immediately stood up and said.

"General Chen Tao, General Zhao Tuo."

"These two did not respect the general's order and led the army out of the city. This crime is unforgivable." Ying Zheng said coldly.

After all.

The thing that Chen Tao and Zhao Tuo were most worried about still happened.

The fact that they led the army out of the city was still heard by the current king.

This will also declare that they will be in trouble. Even if they don't die, they will have no chance in the future.

The future King Wu of Nanyue, Zhao Tuo, will never appear again.

He will never have the opportunity to lead troops for the Qin Dynasty again, let alone lead hundreds of thousands of troops.

Invisibly, because of the appearance of Zhao Feng, this history has already ushered in a change.

"Disrespecting the orders of superiors and violating military regulations."

"Leaving the troops privately and abandoning the city is a serious crime."

"I beg the king to punish severely."

"But before the severe punishment, I have a confusion." Li Si said loudly.

"Speak." Ying Zheng said coldly.

Li Si's eyes turned and fell on Wei Zhuang: "Wei Xiang."

Hearing this, Wei Zhuang's heart was uneasy, but in the public eye, and the eyes of the King of Qin, Wei Zhuang could only bite the bullet and respond: "What's the matter with the court judge?"

"Wei Xiang has a lot of connections. Weicheng is thousands of miles away from Xianyang. Today, I heard from the victory report of Weicheng that General Zhao Feng risked crossing the river to launch a surprise attack. This process must be kept secret. Why did Wei Xiang know that General Zhao Feng left the city?" Li Si sneered in his heart, but his expression was extremely serious.

Obviously.

After hearing the victory report, Li Si immediately thought of what Wei Zhuang had done to Zhao Feng. How could Li Si let go of such an opportunity to suppress Wei Zhuang?

"This... this..."

At this moment, cold sweat broke out on Wei Zhuang's face.

The gaze of Ying Zheng from a high position made him feel even more uncomfortable.

"Why?"

"Is it so difficult for Prime Minister Wei to answer?"

"You were so confident in impeaching General Zhao Feng for leaving the city without permission. Who told you that it was so difficult to say it?" Li Si continued to ask.

At this time.

Han Fei also stood up: "I remember the events of that day very clearly. From the performance of Prime Minister Wei, it is clear that he has received accurate information."

If Li Si was completely for suppressing the arrogance of Wang Wan's lineage, then Han Fei was completely speaking for Zhao Feng.

Han Fei was talented and arrogant in his heart. It was difficult for him to take him seriously, but Zhao Feng was the only one.

Without Zhao Feng's guidance and living to see the prosperous age of China's unification, without Zhao Feng's reminder, Han Fei might have died. This was already regarded as a favor by Han Fei. of

Faced with the verbal crusade of the two people.

Wei Zhuang no longer knew how to answer.

At this time, Wang Wan's eyes changed and he stood up immediately: "Your Majesty."

"I heard from Prime Minister Wei about this matter."

"Then Zhao Tuo had some interactions with Prime Minister Wei, and the news about Zhao Feng was reported to Prime Minister Wei secretly by Zhao Tuo. The reason why Prime Minister Wei reported it to the court that day was because he was worried about the safety of the Qin Dynasty and was worried about something happening in Weicheng. ”

"Prime Minister Wei did not intentionally target General Zhao Feng, let alone his eyes and ears. This must be Zhao Tuo who wanted to target General Zhao Feng for his own selfish purposes." Wang Wan immediately defended Wei's statement.

And after he stood up.

Wei Zhuang also understood immediately and bowed immediately: "What the Prime Minister said is exactly what I thought. It's all because of that Zhao Tuo. I didn't know that this person was so sinister. Please forgive me."

Obviously.

This move is indeed brilliant.

After hearing what Wei Zhuang said, Ying Zheng looked at the former deeply and said nothing more.

"Tingwei."

"According to Qin law, how should Chen Tao and Zhao Tuo be dealt with?" Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.

"If you do not respect the orders of superior officers and generals, you will be punished by a hundred battles, a reduction in military rank, and a reduction in title."

"You mobilized troops without authorization and almost trapped Weicheng. This is a serious crime. You should be deprived of all military positions and titles, and then be sent to a serious prison sentence." Li Si said immediately.

These two sentences completely plunged Chen Tao and Zhao Tuo into eternal destruction.

Even if they don't die, their final result is to be imprisoned for life or become slaves.

This was the price they paid for opposing Zhao Feng.

When they led the army to leave the city, Weicheng lost the defense of 20,000 fresh troops, which had a great impact. If Weicheng was broken, not only would Zhao Feng be guilty of a major crime, but the lone army would be in danger of being destroyed if it went deep.

And this is also the reason why Zhao Feng asked Kuai Pu to report alone. Without him, he would have Chen Tao and Chen Tao killed.

Zhao Feng's character is like this. Although you are not his confidants, as long as you obey your general's orders, that is enough. But this time they have the intention of tricking you, so Zhao Feng will not spare them.

If someone wants his life, no matter what the price, Zhao Feng will give it back. It is Zhao Feng's character to avenge himself.

"Just as Ting Wei said."

"Prepared imperial edict."

"Deprive Chen Tao and Zhao Tuo of all military positions and titles."

"Immediately take him to Xianyang Prison for trial." Ying Zheng said coldly.

"I accept the edict." Li Si accepted the order happily.

The fate of these two people was completely decided.

"Kai Xiang."

"This time, I won't care about you, but I don't want it to happen again."

"Your actions actually chilled the hearts of the loyal soldiers of Great Qin." Ying Zheng looked at Wei Zhuang again with a deep warning.

Wei Zhuang was shocked in his heart, but he had no words to argue and bowed directly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

If Weicheng falls, Zhao Feng will be defeated.

He will seize the opportunity to add insult to injury.

But in the end, it backfired on him.

"The merits of Zhao Feng."

"If you defeat Wei Wuji, you should be heavily rewarded."

"When Zhao Feng was guarding Weicheng, Gu made a promise to him. As long as he could defend it, Gu Jin would make him the general."

"But now he has given me such a big surprise."

"This reward should be given in advance." Ying Zheng smiled, his eyes clearly showing the joy for Zhao Feng.

"Great King Shengming."

"General Zhao has made such great contributions to the Qin Dynasty and deserves a reward."

"General Zhao can definitely take on the position of general." Han Fei immediately agreed.

"Prepared imperial edict."

"Zhao Feng has made great achievements in defeating the enemy and resolving the country's crisis. He will be promoted to one level and become the general of our Qin Dynasty, commanding an army of 100,000 people."

"Also, I will grant 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." Ying Zheng announced with authority.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty," the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty shouted.

"Your Majesty."

"This time General Zhao defeated a powerful enemy. It was not just the efforts of General Zhao alone, but also the result of the bloody battle of 100,000 soldiers."

"Before the war."

"General Zhao has already asked for orders, and now it's time for me to submit my request."

"Please, Your Majesty, agree to General Zhao's request, and more importantly, this request." Wei Liao suddenly stood up and took out a piece of cloth from his arms.

"Did Zhao Feng ask for orders?" Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, with a puzzled look on his face: "Why didn't I know?"

"This is a report from the General on behalf of General Zhao Feng, but I feel that it was not the right time before, and now the time has come."

"Please read it, Your Majesty."

Wei Liao held up the cloth in his hand.

"It just so happens that all the ministers are here. Let Wei Qing read it directly. I'll listen to Zhao Feng's request." Ying Zheng waved his hand.

"I accept the edict."

Wei Liao did not hesitate, and immediately opened the cloth with which Zhao Feng asked for orders, and said loudly: "I, Zhao Feng, ask for orders from the king. I will guard Weicheng with a hundred thousand troops. In terms of military strength and strength, there are no more elites who can truly fight." There are more than 30,000 people, except for the new soldiers, there are 50,000 surrendered soldiers."

"If we fight according to common sense, our army will be defeated and Weicheng will definitely not be able to defend it."

"Therefore."

"As the commander-in-chief, I declare to the Prisoners Army that if anyone who fights for our Great Qin dies in battle, the officers and soldiers of the Prisoners' Army will be given the same pension as ordinary soldiers of our Great Qin."

"This invitation is for the souls of heroes who died in battle for the country."

Hear this.

Ying Zheng's eyebrows were also full of emotion.

"The criminal army is fighting for our Great Qin. If they die for our Great Qin, they should be compensated."

"Zhao Fengzhi's request is correct."

Ying Zheng agreed without any thought at all.

"Great King Shengming."

"General Zhao Feng will be very happy if he knows that the king has approved it." Wei Liao said immediately.

"Except for Zhao Feng's reward."

"And all the soldiers who guard Weicheng should also be rewarded."

"Pass the imperial edict."

"All soldiers guarding Weicheng will be rewarded according to their military merits. Let Zhao Feng negotiate with the Sima of the army on the specific matters." Ying Zheng said loudly again.

"I accept the edict." Wei Liao responded immediately.

Finished explaining.

Ying Zheng glanced at the court: "Do you still have the original memorial?"

"I have no original memorial." All civil and military officials in the dynasty said.

Today, Zhao Fengzhijie caught many people in the court off guard.

Naturally, many people who were originally active have lost their energy.

"Dismiss the dynasty."

Ying Zheng said no more and dismissed the court directly.

"I will respectfully send you off to your Majesty." The ministers shouted one after another.

Inside Zhangtai Palace!

"Pass a bottle of wine to me."

"I want to have a drink today."

After Ying Zheng sat down, he smiled happily.

"Since the king wants to have a drink, do you need a slave to summon the concubine to accompany you?" Zhao Gao immediately asked with a respectful smile.

"Drinking alone is not pleasure." Ying Zheng shook his head.

"Your Majesty received such good news today, will you go to Madam Hu's place that evening?"

"Perhaps it is God's blessing that today happens to be the 18th Young Master's tenth birthday." Zhao Gao said respectfully.

"Is today Hai'er's birthday?"

"I forgot about it." Ying Zheng said suddenly coming back to his senses.

"Now that our country, Qin Dynasty, has launched an army to attack, the king is even more busy with government affairs, so naturally he can't remember." Zhao Gaopai said with a smile.

"Prepare a birthday gift for Gu. Let's go to Hu's palace tonight and celebrate Haier's birthday." Ying Zheng said slowly.

"Slave, go and prepare immediately." Zhao Gao nodded immediately and said.

Then he bowed and slowly left Zhangtai Palace.

The palace where the Hu family resides.

"Order from CRRC has arrived."

An eunuch shouted.

In the palace.

A very beautiful woman stood up immediately after hearing this.

There is a ten-year-old child beside her.

"Hai'er, get up quickly, your teacher is here." Hu shouted immediately.

"yes."

Hu Hai stood up with a confused look and looked outside the hall.

Enter the eyes.

Zhao Gao walked in quickly.

"Master Zhao, you are here."

Mrs. Hu immediately greeted her with a smile.

She obviously relied heavily on Zhao Gao.

"Madam, there is no need to be so polite. This servant is just a servant." Seeing Hu standing up to greet her, Zhao Gao immediately pretended to be scared and said.

"Master Zhao is being polite."

"You are Hai'er's teacher, and I and I are also members of the same family." Mrs. Hu said in a flattering tone. After speaking, she looked at Hu Hai aside: "Hai'er, I haven't met your teacher yet."

"Meet the teacher."

Hu Hai bowed to Zhao Gao very respectfully.

Seeing the attitude of Hu Hai and his son, Zhao Gao was also very pleased. It was hard for him to smile outside. At this moment, he had a smile on his face. He walked forward and directly helped Hu Hai up: "Master, please get up quickly."

"Thank you, teacher." Hu Hai replied with a respectful expression.

"lady."

"Do you know what this servant is doing here?" Zhao Gao looked at Hu with a smile.

"The king is coming tonight?" Hu asked expectantly.

"My slave mentioned to the king that today is Master Hu Hai's birthday. The king asked my slave to prepare a birthday gift. In addition, he will also come to my wife in person in the evening." Zhao Gao said with a smile.

"Master Zhao still needs to speak."

"The king has been busy with government affairs during this period, so he went to Mi's place several times and did not come to this palace."

"If it weren't for Mr. Zhao, I don't know how long I would have to wait." Mrs. Hu said with a look of resentment.

"Madam, you may have good luck today."

"There is a general who won the battle outside, and the king was in a happy mood and said he wanted to have a drink, so this slave dared to mention it." Zhao Gao said with a smile.

"That's it." Mrs. Hu suddenly nodded.

"Speaking of which..."

Zhao Gao wanted to say something, but he looked at the slaves in the palace.

"You all go down and close the palace door." Mrs. Hu immediately understood.

"promise."

A dozen slaves immediately bowed and retreated, and the palace door was closed.

See this.

Zhao Gaocai continued: "With this great victory, I still need to remind my wife. If we seize the opportunity, we may be able to help the young master in the future."

"Master Zhao, tell me carefully, what opportunity is there?" Hu asked immediately.

"Madam, have you ever heard of Zhao Feng?" Zhao Gao asked.

"This...I have never heard of it."

"Although I have a maternal clan, it is not as good as the Mi clan." Hu shook her head.

"Zhao Feng, the youngest deputy general in Great Qin, no, he should be the chief general now."

"He is highly valued by the king."

"The future has unlimited potential, and he may become a general." Zhao Gao said very seriously.

"Master Zhao wants me to send someone to win over Zhao Feng?"

"But, can he win over him?"

"Now that you know everything, that bitch Mi must also know that with the help of Wang Wan and the others, Fusu may have an advantage." Hu said with a worried look.

"Madam, don't worry."

"This Zhao Feng may have a grudge against Wang Wan and others, and Zhao Feng is destined not to be used by them..." Zhao Gao told the whole story in the court.

After Hu Shi understood, she immediately understood: "It seems that Fusu and others have sent people to win him over, but to no avail, and even hate Zhao Feng, so they suppress him in every possible way."

"That's right."

"Fusu is already Zhao Feng's enemy. Zhao Feng is a smart man. I believe he also knows that if Fusu gets that position, he is destined to have no good days in the future." Zhao Gao smiled coldly.

"So apart from Hai'er, Zhao Feng has no choice. If he doesn't want to be liquidated by Fusu in the future, he can only help Hai'er." Hu Shi immediately understood.

"The king values ​​Zhao Feng unprecedentedly. As long as he can get Zhao Feng's help, the prince can get the military power that Fusu does not have. How can we say what will happen in the future?" Zhao Gao smiled coldly, as if he had planned everything.

"Thanks to you, otherwise I would have missed a great opportunity." Mrs. Hu nodded repeatedly.

Hu Hai, who was standing by, didn't understand what the two were saying, but squatted on the ground playing with his shoes. He was really innocent!

On the other side.

The eldest son's mansion.

"Teacher."

"Prime Minister Wang."

"I don't understand why you are targeting Zhao Feng like that?"

"In this way, wouldn't Zhao Feng stand on the opposite side of us?"

"Father values ​​him so much, but we suppress him so much. This is not a good thing." Fusu looked at Wang Wan and Chunyu Yue in confusion.

Hearing this question.

Wang Wan looked at Chunyu Yue with some resentment.

This matter was originally provoked by him.

If Chunyu Yue hadn't acted on his own, there would be no such situation.

"Sir."

"I was wrong."

"Because of the matter of the Wang family girl, I sent Meng Jia to find Zhao Feng."

"As a result, Zhao Feng did not give you any face at all and actually beat Meng Jia seriously."

Speaking of this.

Chunyu Yue was furious.

But Fusu frowned when he heard this. He was kind by nature. When he heard his teacher say this, he immediately understood the key to the problem.

"Why did the teacher send Meng Jia to find Zhao Feng?"

"Did he threaten Zhao Feng?" Fusu frowned.

Chunyu Yue said calmly: "It was not a threat, but just an admonition, but Zhao Feng did not appreciate it."
