Just as Baiqi was leading the Qin army back to Xianyang City from Yanmen Prefecture, a carriage slowly drove from the border of Qi to the border of Zhao.
The person sitting in this carriage was the Minister of Zhao, Yu Qing.
At that time, it was Yu Qing who suggested that the King of Zhao not give the six cities to Qin, but to offer them to Qi, in order to unite Qi to resist Qin.
Moreover, the King of Zhao sent him to the Qi Kingdom to persuade Qi Wang Jian to send troops to attack the Qin Kingdom.
However, what Yu Qing didn't expect was that Qi Wangjian was a ruler who had no foresight and was content with the status quo.
No matter how hard Yu Qing tried to persuade him, he was even willing to offer six cities to the Qi Kingdom and request for the Qi Kingdom to send troops. However, Qi Wangjian was unwilling to send troops.
In truth, Qi Wangjian was indeed very mediocre.
However, King Qi Jian had been on the throne for a long time. From King Zhaoxiang of Qin to Ying Zheng of Qin, and finally to the fall of Qi, he had been on the throne.
What was even more ridiculous was that because the Qi Kingdom had never bordered the Qin Kingdom, the Qi Kingdom had never participated in the Qin Kingdom's attack on the Chu Kingdom, the Wei Kingdom, the Han Kingdom, the Zhao Kingdom, and other countries. They had always been a bystander.
After Ying Zheng destroyed the other kingdoms, Qi Wangjian finally followed the advice of Prime Minister Hou Sheng and surrendered to Qin. In the end, Qi Wangjian was starved to death by Ying Zheng.
It was clear how mediocre Qi Wangjian was, yet he had been in power for such a long time that almost the entire Qi Country had been destroyed in his hands.
In order to persuade Qi Wangjian to send troops, Yu Qing had racked his brains, but in the end, he was defeated. He realized that Qi Wangjian was simply too stupid.
In the end, Yu Qing knew that he couldn't do it, so he gave up and returned to Zhao.
However, he had spent quite a bit of time in Qi State this time, so he did not know what was happening in Zhao State at all.
"Milord, the sky is already dark. There seems to be a city ahead. Why don't we rest in that city for the night and continue our journey tomorrow?”
Just as Yu Qing was frowning and didn't know how to report to the King of Zhao, the coachman's voice came from outside the carriage.
"Okay, then let's rest for a night!" Yu Qing nodded.
It had been a day's journey from the border of Qi State to the border of Zhao State. He was a little tired.
"Y-Your Excellency, good, something seems to be wrong.”
The carriage suddenly stopped, and the coachman's voice rang out again.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Yu Qing pulled open the curtain of the carriage and asked the coachman.
"Sir, sir, look at that flag, flag!”The coachman pointed at the flag on the city wall and said in disbelief.
"H-how is this possible?"
Yu Qing raised his head and looked in the direction that the coachman was pointing at. He saw that the flag on the city wall was no longer the familiar flag of the Zhao Kingdom, but the unfamiliar flag of the Qin Kingdom.
His entire body could not help but tremble. He was instantly shocked and had an expression of disbelief.
"What, what's going on?" Yu Qing couldn't help but get off the carriage and walk to the city gate. He pulled a Zhao citizen who was about to enter the city and asked.
"What do you mean what happened?" The Zhao citizen asked in confusion. He still didn't understand what Yu Qing meant.
"This, why is the flag of the Qin country on the city wall?”Yu Qing hurriedly asked.
"You came back from overseas, right?"
"This city was attacked by the Qin army and has already been occupied by the Qin country.”The Zhao citizen glanced at Yu Qing and couldn't help but sigh.
"What? The Qin army has already arrived here?”After Yu Qing heard this, he was shocked.
"What's the situation in Handan City?”Yu Qing asked anxiously. He was very eager to know the current situation of Handan City.
"Handan City has long been breached by the Qin army!”The Zhao citizen said sadly.
"What? Handan City has been conquered?" Yu Qing couldn't help but be shocked.
He had only left Handan City for a short while, and it was already broken through by the Qin army.
"Then where are King Zhao and the others now?”Yu Qing asked.
Now that Handan City had fallen, it was impossible for him to return to Handan City. Therefore, he planned to ask about the whereabouts of the King of Zhao and then go directly to the King of Zhao.
"Zhao, King Zhao has also passed away.”The Zhao citizen sighed again.
"What is it? The King of Zhao has also passed away?" After Yu Qing heard this, he couldn't help but tremble. His whole body swayed and he almost fell down. Fortunately, the coachman behind him quickly caught him.
When he heard the news of King Zhao's death, his face was filled with grief.
"Not only did the King of Zhao pass away, but many of the ministers of Zhao also died.”The Zhao citizen added.
"What about Great General Lianpo of Zhao?" Yu Qing continued to ask. Now that the King of Zhao had passed away, the first person he thought of was the Great General of Zhao, Lianpo.
"Great General Lianpo has surrendered."
" What? He surrendered too?" After Yu Qing heard this, his face turned ashen. Even the Great General of Zhao, Lianpo, had surrendered. What hope did Zhao have?
"Then did the other countries send troops to support Zhao?”Yu Qing couldn't help but ask.
He knew that when the King of Zhao sent him to Qi, he also sent envoys to Wei, Chu, Han, and Yan.
Because Qi Wangjian had been unwilling to send troops for a long time, he had delayed his return until now.
"The Wei Kingdom seems to have sent Wei Wuji with 100,000 Wei troops to support them, while the Chu Kingdom seems to have sent Chun Shenjun and Huang Xie with 100,000 Chu troops to support them.”
"However, it is said that the 200,000 soldiers were all wiped out by Baiqi.”The Zhao citizen told him everything he knew.
"What is it? The 200,000 reinforcements from Wei and Chu were all wiped out by Baiqi?”Yu Qing was shocked after hearing this.
"Then do you know which cities in Zhao have not been breached by the Qin army?”Yu Qing continued to ask. He planned to first find a city that the Qin army hadn't broken through and settle down, then unite with the ambitious people of Zhao to resist Qin.。
"Yesterday, there was news that General Li Mu of Yanmen Prefecture in the northern part of the country of Zhao had also surrendered. The country of Zhao was completely destroyed!”The Zhao citizen sighed and entered the city.
He was just an ordinary citizen of the State of Zhao. No matter who ruled, their lives would still be the same.
"What is it? General Li Mu of Yanmen Prefecture also surrendered. Was the State of Zhao destroyed?”Yu Qing couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
He looked pale and haggard.
He did not expect that it had only been a short time. He had only made a trip to Qi State and then returned to Zhao State.
