"Then you can die."
Hearing Li Mu's words, Ying Zheng was instantly enraged and shouted angrily.
Although Li Mu had yet to become enemies with the Qin country, his main contribution to the Zhao country was to destroy the Xiongnu.
From the looks of it, he could still be considered a hero.
However, they were on different paths.
In Ying Zheng's eyes, there was no Qi, Chu, Yan, Zhao, Wei, or Han. There was only one country, and that was the Great Qin, which represented Huaxia.
Jun Bujian, hundreds of years ago.
These numerous countries were all separated from one country.
Zhou Country!
It was Zhou Country's enfeoffment system that created nearly a hundred small countries of all sizes in China.
Finally, after two to three hundred years of encroachment and division, the seven kingdoms were formed.
Therefore, in Ying Zheng's eyes, Lianpo and Li Mu were blindly loyal.
"Drag Li Mu down and kill him.”
Then, Ying Zheng waved his hand.
Seeing that the Emperor was going to chop off two famous generals in a row, the civil and military officials in the hall wanted to persuade him.
However, after thinking about it carefully, the decision made by the Emperor was not something they could persuade.
They could only watch as this happened.
Not long after Li Mu was dragged away, a muffled sound of a head falling to the ground came from outside the palace.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to bow to you. I only ask for your name.”
He could only watch helplessly as the two old ministers, Lianpo and Li Mu, who had once protected him, and were also the Prime Minister and the Great General of the State of Zhao, were cut down by Ying Zheng just like that.
Zhao Wangyan was frightened. He knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing.
"King Zhao, your loyal general Lianpo and Prime Minister Li Mu have already left. Why don't you go down and accompany them as well? Being a loyal and filial monarch and minister who has a beginning and an end, if word gets out, it won't be a good story.”
Ying Zheng said.
Zhao Wangyan wanted to live, but Ying Zheng would never let him go.
After all, this Zhao Wangyan had participated in the assassination attempt with the other four countries.
Ying Zheng was a man who bore grudges.
Moreover, as the King of Zhao, it was impossible for Ying Zheng to let him go.
Even if he wanted to be a good-for-nothing, he couldn't just be raised.
That would be a waste of food.
"Men, drag this Zhao Wangyan out and behead him. Let him reunite with his officials.”
After that, Ying Zheng did not wait for Zhao Wangyan to continue asking for help.
"No, please spare my life…Your Majesty, I'm willing to sacrifice everything for my life…”
Zhao Wangyan, who had been taken off by the palace guards, cried out in a hoarse voice.
Then, it stopped abruptly with a shrill scream.
Seeing his Majesty kill the King, Prime Minister, and General of Zhao, all the officials in the palace fell silent.
He usually couldn't see it, but he didn't expect His Majesty to be so murderous.
He would take people's lives and cut their heads and waists.
However, the scene of the previous king of Wei State, King Wei Anli, being killed appeared in their minds. They felt that the situation this time was very similar to the previous one.
However, compared to the last time, this time was much more ferocious.
His Majesty ordered the beheading of three enemies.
"You must not provoke His Majesty, or else there will be no way for you to survive.”
Then, these officials warned themselves.
"Meng Ao, Wang Jian, Wang He, report your battle achievements and losses to me.”
After calming down, Ying Zheng said to Meng Ao and the other two.
This way, he would reward the three of them according to their merits.
"Your Majesty, I was ordered to lead the army to attack the State of Zhao. I killed more than 147,000 people and captured more than 196,000 people. In this battle, my Qin army suffered 43,000 casualties.”
"Your Majesty, I was ordered to lead the army to attack the Han Country. I killed more than 172,000 people and captured more than 133,000 people. In this battle, our Qin Country army suffered 25,000 casualties.”
"Your Majesty, I was ordered to lead the army to attack the Yan Country. I killed more than 206,000 people and captured more than 158,000 people. In this battle, our Qin Country army suffered 31,000 casualties.”
Meng Ao, Wang He, and Wang Jian reported.
Although they had killed a lot of enemies and captured a lot of prisoners, these three armies had experienced dozens of battles on the way to attack the Yan, Han, and Zhao countries.
"In addition, our three armies and Li Xin's 50,000 troops surrounded and wiped out half of the 400,000 strong army of the Qi and Chu allied forces and captured half of them.”
Meng Ao, Wang He, and Wang Jian spoke in unison.
"However, when we attacked the Qi and Chu alliance army, we used crossbow bolts, so we couldn't tell who the battle credit belonged to.”
Meng Ao said awkwardly.
"How about this, the battle merits of the Qi and Chu alliance army will be divided equally between you soldiers.”
Ying Zheng said directly.
"Everyone, listen to the decree. Meng Ao destroyed the Zhao Country and surrounded the Qi and Chu allied forces. He has made great contributions to the Qin Country and has been promoted to a rank. He is now the Great Shu. He will be rewarded with 100,000 gold and 100 silks.”
"Everyone, listen up. Wang Jian has destroyed the Yan Country and surrounded the Qi and Chu allied forces. He has made great contributions to the Qin Country and has been promoted to the third rank. He is now the right guard and will be rewarded with 100,000 gold and 100 silks.”
"Everyone, listen to the decree. Li Xin led the army in this battle and lured the Qi and Chu allied forces. He has made great contributions to the Qin country and has been promoted to three ranks. He is now the right Shu Chang and will be rewarded with 100,000 catties and 100 bolts of silk.”
"Everyone, listen up. Wang He has destroyed the Han Country and surrounded the Qi and Chu allied forces. He has made great contributions to the Qin Country and will be rewarded with 100,000 gold and 100 silks.”
"The rest of the meritorious soldiers will be rewarded according to their merits.”
After that, Ying Zheng rewarded Meng Ao, Wang He, Wang Jian, and Li Xin, who had annihilated the three kingdoms of Yan, Han, and Zhao, and encircled the Qi and Chu allied forces.
Among them, except for Wang He, who was already a Great Shu, who had not been promoted, the others had at least been promoted by one rank.
The reason why Wang He was not promoted was because of his title. If he was promoted again, he would be the 19th title of the Qin country-the Marquis of the Pass.
The marquis inside the pass was also a marquis.
Although he is not a marquis.
There is only a name, no fief.
The number of households in the fief has the right to levy taxes according to the stipulated number of households, which can be hereditary.
After Shang Yang's reform, the Qin Country had a complete and advanced system of managing military merits and titles.
Although Wang He had worked hard and made great contributions, destroying two kingdoms, it was mainly because of Ying Zheng's strategic planning and his reliance on the net.
It wasn't enough for him to be promoted to the rank of Inner Marquis.
If he destroyed another country, it would be enough.
