Qin Country, Xianyang Palace
At this moment, Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei were both in charge of the Imperial Court, and all the officials were speechless. No one dared to speak before they had figured out the intentions of the two. The mood of the upper echelons was not something they dared to speculate about.
However, today was slightly different because the Great General Wang Jian, who was fighting in Zhao, was about to return. He heard that Wang Jian had led his army to occupy Ye City, Langmeng (now Yangqu, Shanxi), and Fanwu (now southwest of Lingshou, Hebei).
Although they did not attack Zhao's capital, Handan, this battle was a great victory for Qin!
The whole country celebrated. Even the dispute between Minister Lyu and the King of Qin had eased. At this moment, the two of them were happy and flushed. Those who did not know better would think that the two of them were good people.
Just as the officials in the hall were thinking, a report sounded from outside the hall." Great General Wang Jian has arrived!”
"Wang Jian!"
Upon hearing this name, Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei's eyes lit up. No matter what, he was the symbol of the glory of the State of Qin this time. He was the one who had led the soldiers of the State of Qin to attack the city at the front line, and his contribution was undeniable.
At the thought of this, the two of them smiled brightly. Lu Buwei turned to look at Wang Jian, who was tall and sturdy, walking up the stairs with steady steps, and laughed loudly.
"General Wang Jian has led my Qin army to conquer Zhao without fail. General has worked hard!”
As he spoke, he bowed to Wang Jian and his ancient eyes revealed sincerity.
This was his method to win over the hearts of the people. Wang Jian, as the most powerful general in the Qin country's military, had a huge reputation and was worth fighting for. Of course, he did indeed somewhat admire Wang Jian's battle prowess.
Seeing Lu Buwei's humble attitude, Wang Jian's eyes flickered. He knew Minister Lu's character very well. He was magnanimous and sinister at the same time. This kind of person was not easy to offend.
There was no conflict between the two of them. They nodded and addressed each other as "Minister Lu". Greeting Li and Lu Buwei walked past each other. When they reached the front of the hall, their muscular bodies suddenly knelt on one knee.
He shouted," Wang Jian led his army to attack Zhao and returned. Greetings, Your Majesty!”
His voice was like thunder, shaking the entire hall!
Even some people among the officials were frightened by this voice. They did not expect Wang Jian to have such a powerful momentum. It simply scared their guts out.
This was the might of their Qin Country's battlefield generals!
At this moment, Ying Zheng was only twenty years old. He was a handsome young man with a sharp gaze. Having been on the throne for a long time, he had a calmness that did not match his age. He was so shrewd that even Lu Buwei could not see through him.
When he heard Wang Jian's voice, not only was his expression calm, he even revealed a satisfied smile as he praised,
"General Wang Jian was able to lead the Qin army to capture such a large area of land in Zhao. As for not being able to complete the task and not being able to break through the capital of Zhao, it is not General Wang Jian's fault."
Previously, he had already received a secret letter from Wang Jian. To be able to admit Wang Jian's achievements in front of the hundred officials, and to comfort Wang Jian without hiding anything, just this point alone was not something that an ordinary person could do.
Everyone knew that although Wang Jian had conquered a large amount of Zhao's land, he had also suffered losses in Zhao.
But now that Ying Zheng had said it out loud, Wang Jian heaved a sigh of relief.
At the same time, everyone's eyes lit up, and they all praised Wang Jian's achievements this time.
"General Wang Jian was able to conquer such a large area of land in the Zhao Country and expand the territory of our Qin Country. Just this alone is a peerless achievement!”
"With so much land, not only did it increase the strength of our Qin country, but it also weakened the strength of the Zhao country. With such land, the strength of the Qin country will definitely rise to a higher level!”
"A real man should be like this. If my son can have the ambition of General Wang Jian, the entire family will feel honored!”
"General Wang Jian has made a great contribution this time. He is indeed a Great General of Great Qin and is worthy of being the main force of the army. Who else can compare to him?”
"Today, we really should have a feast to celebrate General's victory and return."
"General's prestige will surely make the people of Qin feel honored."
“......”
Undeniably, Wang Jian's exploits of opening up territory displayed his unparalleled battle prowess, and at the same time, it also brought him a good reputation.
Lu Buwei nodded silently. With Wang Jian guarding the borders of the State of Qin, his struggles in the Imperial Court would proceed smoothly.
Hearing the speech of the officials, Ying Zheng also revealed a satisfied smile as he looked at Wang Jian. This time, Wang Jian had indeed made a great contribution, a contribution that benefited the entire Qin State.
However, Wang Jian did not accept the credit with a clear conscience. His burly body stood there, and a trace of determination flashed across his sharp tiger eyes.
"Your Majesty, in fact, the reason why our army was able to achieve such a great victory this time was all because of one person. It was he who single-handedly stopped Li Mu and his 150,000 pursuers outside the Tongtian Gorge, giving our army the opportunity to establish a foothold in the west of Taihang Mountain and occupy a large area of land!”
What the hell!
The hall was originally filled with praises, but now, Wang Jian's words had caused all the officials to pause. The muscles on Ying Zheng's smiling face twitched, and a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.
Lu Buwei remained calm, but when he glanced in Wang Jian's direction, it revealed the waves in his heart.
The Imperial Court was not joking. Just who had such great ability to make Wang Jian say such words at such a moment?
Ying Zheng's voice was a little stiff." Is what General Wang Jian said true?”
Wang Jian's eyes were firm as he said," I'm not joking!”Of course, the figure of that person who made Li Mu lead 50,000 people to guard outside the Tongtian Gorge and not dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool was still lingering in his heart.
Therefore, he had to tell everyone about this matter now so that everyone would know about that person. They would know how mysterious, powerful, and terrifying that person was!
After receiving Wang Jian's affirmation, Ying Zheng and the other officials also understood the meaning behind Wang Jian's words. With a curious look in their eyes, they asked," Is there really such an extraordinary person in this world?”
Wang Jian's eyes revealed a look of recollection." At that time, we also chose the retreat route of the Tongtian Gorge by accident. However, the Zhao army pursued us relentlessly until that person appeared. He blocked 50,000 Zhao troops alone.
If it weren't for that person, our Qin army wouldn't have been able to achieve such a result. After that, we heard from the locals that that place was that person's forbidden area. The Zhao army broke his rules and was casually stopped. It wasn't intentional!”
"What?!"
The officials 'eyes widened in disbelief.
"Is there really such a strange thing in the world? Is there really a god-like figure?”
"Is it really possible to stop 50,000 Zhao troops led by Li Mu? If I were Li Mu, I definitely wouldn't give up. How did that person do it?”
"Just because of one person, my Qin country has such a result. That person's methods are beyond imagination! However, he attacked casually. He's really a monster."
"If what General Wang Jian said is true, with this person's help, our Qin country will soon dominate the world!”
"That kind of grace makes people yearn for it."
“......”
Although the praise sounded a little excited, the content was very relevant. Sitting on the throne, Ying Zheng's eyes lit up as he listened to the praises. Finally, after a long time of silence, he looked at Wang Jian with bright eyes and asked,
"Do you know that person's name?"
Wang Jian's eyes moved and revealed a look of recollection. His voice was solemn as he said," That person's name is Su Yi!”
