.....
A few months later, in the main hall of the Xianyang Palace in the State of Qin.
Ying Zheng sat on the highest throne, his pair of terrifying eyes staring down at the people below with a spirited look. Then, he asked slowly,""How is it going?"
Li Si raised his head, knowing that Ying Zheng was asking him a question, so he stepped forward and said," Your Majesty, everything has been settled. However, it will take some time to stir up trouble completely. Your Majesty, please give Li Si more time."
"Yes…" Ying Zheng nodded at Li Si, then said,""Ever since we took down Puyang City, my Qin army has not attacked any other places. This is so that you can rest and recuperate. Men, report to me how many soldiers have been recruited in the past few months."
As Ying Zheng's voice fell, Meng Tian, who was standing behind Li Si, also stepped forward and stood on the left side of Li Si. She opened her memorial and read it out loud,""From the reports of the various officers and soldiers, our Qin army has increased by 200,000 soldiers in the past few months. It is still increasing. If we wait a few more months, we will probably exceed 300,000 soldiers."
The ministers began to lower their heads and communicate with the people around them in low voices. They did not dare to make any big movements, only a slight movement, because they all knew Ying Zheng's character. If he was not careful, his entire family would be executed.
And what kind of concept was 200,000? Now, the entire Qin State had a terrifying 800,000 soldiers, while the weakest Wei State only had 200,000 soldiers.
In addition, there were spies from the Qin Kingdom mixed in the Wei Kingdom, causing the nobles and the royal family to start fighting openly and secretly. The number of troops that could be sent to fight was probably only 150,000, and the 150,000 troops had no hope of surviving under the iron hooves of the Qin army.
"So many?" Ying Zheng was also slightly surprised, and then said in a stern voice,"" Meng Tian, pass down my order to immediately ban the recruitment of soldiers and horses. Send the 200,000 new soldiers to the vicinity of the Wei Kingdom. You will also gather 100,000 iron knights from all over the country. When I give the order, we will immediately flatten the Wei Kingdom."
" Yes, Meng Tian is willing to fight for the king. She will go through fire and water until she dies." Meng Tian solemnly put away the memorial and retreated to the side.
Seeing that Ying Zheng was going to send the newly recruited soldiers to attack the Wei Kingdom, Li Si felt that it was a little inappropriate." Your Majesty, Li Si feels that it's not appropriate to use these new soldiers to attack the Wei Kingdom. Most of those soldiers are deserters and refugees captured by the already destroyed Han and Zhao Kingdoms. I'm afraid that if..."
Li Si's analysis was very reasonable. In a chaotic world, only human lives were worth the least. Even a centimeter could make you sell your children, let alone a slave.
What if their anti-Qin sentiment suddenly rose and they used the weapons he gave them to attack their own people? Wouldn't that be a joke to others?
"A refugee? Deserter? " Hmph!" Ying Zheng was very unhappy with Li Si's words, and scolded,"" Now, I, Ying Zheng, am the only king in the entire world. How can I accomplish my great cause and unify the six dynasties if I'm too timid?"
Facing Ying Zheng's fury, Li Si did not dare to make a single sound of resistance. He lowered his head and remained silent.
" Li Si, from today onwards, gather all kinds of experts in the martial world for me. As long as they are experts and loyal to the State of Qin, don't let them go." Ying Zheng slowly told them the most important thing in this court session. Right now, the State of Qin had to recruit top-notch experts from the martial world. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to reach out his claws into the martial world.
"What if someone refuses?" Li Si asked after a long while.
Ying Zheng's eyes flashed with a bright light as he gritted his teeth and said,""If you are unwilling, then kill him so that he won't threaten my Qin country's hegemony in the future."
..
After receiving Ying Zheng's order, Li Si began to openly set his eyes on the martial world. At the same time, one of his private generals, Xiahou Yang, was officially sent out to eliminate those disobedient martial world people at any time.
In the blink of an eye, two months had passed. The Qin army, which had been dormant for several months, began to attack Wei under the leadership of the vanguard commander Meng Tian, the follow-up commander Wang Jian, and Meng Ao.
The Wei Kingdom, which had already been greatly weakened by the spies of the Qin Kingdom, could not resist the 300,000 soldiers of the Qin Kingdom. Moreover, no matter who it was, they would be afraid of the iron hooves of the Qin Kingdom.
In less than half a month, they had taken down twenty-five cities of the Wei Kingdom, and the Wei Kingdom had declared its destruction. The other three kingdoms did not dare to say anything when they saw this. He only hoped that the Qin country would not attack him and let him live a few more decades of stable days.
Under the leadership of Ying Zheng, the Qin army had already begun to prepare for the next attack on the Yan Kingdom.
...
Handan of Zhao was one of the more prosperous cities. Although it was in a chaotic time and was occupied by Qin, merchants gathered there and the streets were noisy. The streets were crowded with people.
On the street, Ying Zheng was still dressed in the same way as before, with the Heaven's Inquisition hanging on his back, making him look very mysterious and strange. He had come here to find 'Ge Nia' who was also known as the Sword Saint.
There were two reasons why he was looking for him. First, he was here to ask about Li Ji's whereabouts. If he didn't see her, it meant that they hadn't sought Ge Nia out yet. It would be best if they happened to meet.
Secondly, he wanted to see how powerful Ge Nia was, and at the same time, assess his own potential.
Ying Zheng went around asking about the whereabouts of the Gai Residence. Ge Nia was the most famous swordsman in the world, famous throughout the six dynasties for his unique sword technique, the Hundred-step Flying Sword. He had moved to Handan for some time, and many martial arts practitioners knew him well. A young swordsman immediately pointed out the way, and he went all the way.
When he found Gai Mansion, he found that it was just a small courtyard with black tiles and white walls. It was not as grand as he had imagined. Perhaps he had lived in Xianyang Palace for too long.
The gate was not closed, and Ying Zheng walked in. A young man came up to him and said,""May I know what's the matter, hero?"
" I'm here to look for Ge Nia. Please go in and inform him," Ying Zheng hurriedly replied. The Sky Asking Sword on his back had already begun to tremble slightly. This was a situation that would only occur when he encountered the Ten Great Swords, which meant that Ge Nia was in this courtyard.
The young man was somewhat hostile towards Ying Zheng, who was still covering his face. He deliberately said," My master has gone out for some business and has not returned yet. Young hero, if you want to see my master, please come back in the future."
"Is that so?" Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes, and his tone gradually became heavier,""You're lying. Ge Nia was clearly in the room. How could he not have returned?"
A powerful aura burst out from Ying Zheng's body, and the young man was so frightened that he immediately stepped back, thinking," It seems that this person is my master's enemy. What should I do? Junior Sister is still in the room. No, I have to think of a way to lure him away.
