I Want To Be Qin II

In the shogunate.

All the generals arrived one by one. Unless they were generals on duty, as long as they were above the rank of captain of a thousand, they all rushed to the shogunate. This time, Ying Gao did not live in the Handan Palace in order to avoid suspicion.

After all, the victory over Handan was only a staged victory in destroying Zhao this time, not the complete destruction of Zhao. The three armies set off at the same time, and now he was the only one to achieve corresponding results.

"Although Handan City has been captured by our army, the battle to destroy Zhao has just begun. This Handan City has been occupied by our army. I originally planned to leave one to garrison and cooperate with the civil servants to take over."

"At the same time, I will personally lead the army to the direction of Wu'an in Yunzhong, and work with General Meng Tian to attack the Huzhu army."

Having said this, Ying Gao's stern eyes fell on everyone, and he said in a solemn tone: "Who wants to stay in Handan?"

There was silence in the shogunate, and no one answered. They didn't want to stay in Handan, but followed the direction of Ying Gao Wu'an. In their view, as long as Ying Gao was there, they would be invincible.

As long as you follow Ying Gao, it is a military achievement.

But if you stay in Handan, you will basically have no use for it. The city of Handan has been conquered, and the next step is to conquer the surrounding areas. It is the civil servants who take over Handan, and their generals can only ensure stability.

Seeing that no one stood up, Ying Gao couldn't help but frown. He knew what the generals were thinking, but guarding Handan was also an arduous task.

Now that the Qin Dynasty had conquered Handan and the area south of Handan, the rest of the area still belonged to the Zhao people, and he did not have the extra troops to go to various places to defeat them one by one. He wanted to assist Meng Tian in annihilating the Zhao army's effective forces.

Therefore, the general stationed in Handan not only needs a famous general who defends the city, but also a general who is decisive and capable of attacking. Compared with Yang Duanhe, Ying Gao prefers Bai Zhong.

With this thought, Ying Gao walked to the map, unsheathed the Lu Lu Sword in his hand, and the tip of the sword fell on the map, saying: "Now, our army only controls the area south of Handan, and next, Gu will lead the army to point the sword at Wu An, together with General Meng Tian, ​​eat this Zhao army."

"However, north of Handan, in the directions of Xindu, Lieren, Qujin, etc., there are still Zhao cities and Zhao troops garrisoned. However, our army does not have enough troops to occupy them all."

"Especially in the direction of Julu, the most important thing for our army now is to eliminate the effective strength of the Zhao army. As long as the main force of the Zhao army is defeated, the entire Zhao land will belong to our Daqin."

"Therefore, the Handan garrison must be a general who has been on the battlefield, can defend Handan, and can intimidate all sides."

"Handan has fallen into the hands of our army, so we cannot lose it again. Tell me, general, who is willing to guard Handan?"

At this moment, Bai Zhong and Yang Duanhe looked at each other. They knew in their hearts that since Wang Ben led the Wan Sheng Army to the north, at this stage, they were the only ones qualified and capable to guard Handan.

After thinking about this, Bai Zhong came out and said: "General Ying, I am willing to guard Handan."

Seeing Bai Zhong stand up, Ying Gao nodded and said: "I will leave you 50,000 infantry and 50,000 cavalry, and then cooperate with the civil servants to control Handan."

"At the same time, guard the treasury and cooperate with the people of the court to empty out the Zhao treasury, including Zhao's craftsmen, palace books, etc."

"promise."

Seeing Ying Gao being so cautious, Bai Zhong also nodded heavily. His father did not conquer Handan. Now that Ying Gao has conquered Handan, the destruction of Zhao is just around the corner. Bai Zhong believes that he will definitely defend Handan.

The next moment, Ying Gao's eyes fell on Yang Duanhe, and he calmly ordered: "Yang Duanhe, you will lead the cavalry of this unit, and immediately break camp and advance towards Wu'an."

"promise."

Nodding in agreement, Yang Duanhe walked out of the shogunate with great speed. Since the general order had been issued, he naturally wanted to send troops immediately and rush to Wu'an.

When Bai Zhong and Yang Duanhe walked out of the shogunate, the shogunate was suddenly quite empty. Ying Gao looked at the remaining people and said in a solemn tone: "A lot of soldiers from Zhao were captured in this battle. After dismissing the old and weak, Sick and disabled, there are still 70,000 troops left.”

"All these 70,000 people will be organized into the central army. We must disperse them all and make sure that only one Zhao army surrenders."

"Regarding this matter, when you go down, you will tell the generals at all levels, corps commanders, hundred-man generals, five-hundred-man generals, etc. If there is any abnormality in the surrender of soldiers, they will be killed on the spot."

Hearing this, the general's face was solemn. They all knew that even if 70,000 surrendered soldiers were to be incorporated into the army, the risk was still very high. Once these people got weapons, they would be in danger.

"General Ying, once these people get their weapons, they will be a threat to our soldiers, and I will not think it is appropriate." Tie Ying stood up and said to Ying Gao.

"Well, I know it's wrong."

A flash of fierceness flashed across Ying Gao's eyes, and he said in a solemn tone: "But, what can we do? Should we imitate Lord Wu An again and trap them all?"

"Now that the Zhao Kingdom is about to be destroyed, they will also be my subjects of Da Qin in the future. Too much killing will not be conducive to our Da Qin's rule of Zhao. But if they stay here, 70,000 people will affect Baizhong's guarding Handan."

"And most of these people are young men from Handan City who have just been recruited. The risk of leaving Handan is even greater."

"When our army goes to Wu'an, don't give them weapons first. During the march, we will train them. Anyone who has any dissatisfaction will be killed without mercy."

"promise."

The generals left, and only Ying Gao, Fan Zeng, and Zhang Liang, who had just returned, were left in the shogunate. The three of them were silent and did not speak to break the silence at this moment.

Especially Fan Zeng, he also knew that it was dangerous for Ying Gao to do this, and he just wanted the army to go to Wu'an. There was no other way.

If Handan City is left behind, these soldiers will be in chaos.

Even if it is a trap and killing, it cannot be carried out in Handan City.

"General Ying, when the army leaves the city, do you want to surrender these soldiers?" Fan Zeng's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he made a motion of wiping his neck.

"no need."

Ying Gao shook his head and explained to Fan Zeng and Zhang Liang, "When the Qin Dynasty annexes other countries, it will require countless manpower and material resources to organize the Central Plains. When the time comes, these people can be used."

"Killing them will not be conducive to the Qin's rule of Zhao. Lord Wu An had no choice but to do it. What's more, so many years have passed. Even if there is still hatred, it has gradually dissipated."

"At this time, another trap and killing will awaken Zhao people's hatred and memories of the past, which will not be beneficial to Great Qin."

Ying Gao rejected Fan Zeng's proposal. He knew in his heart that killing these surrendered pawns would be harmful rather than beneficial to the Qin Dynasty. The most important thing was that he had the confidence to accept this group of surrendered pawns.

"You two also go down and prepare. When the handover is completed, we will point our swords at Wu An."
