Chapter 1168 Li Mu surrendered
Chapter 1168 Li Mu surrenders
Li Mu was silent.
He was shocked by Yinggao’s courage and ambition, and he also knew that the Central Plains countries had no chance.
Because Da Qin had a good heir.
When the king of Qin was in power, he suppressed everything, and the powerful one made people tremble. Today, the Prince of Great Qin is not inferior to the King of Qin, which means that Great Qin has at least 40 years, or even a Jiazi time to integrate the Central Plains.
One Jiazi, three generations.
When the time comes, all hatred, all grievances and hatreds will be washed away by time. From now on, people in the world will be called Qin people.
There is no more Chu people, known as Zhao people.
At this moment, Li Mu knew that whether Yinggao was belligerent or not, he didn’t have too many choices.
Submission to Da Qin has become the best way to avoid war and casualties.
However, Li Mu still wanted to test it out. If Ying Gao was a belligerent, after he surrendered to Qin, he would resign immediately, instead of being willing to be a Qin minister.
The most important thing is that, in Li Mu’s view, he has not surrendered at this moment, and he is still a general of Zhao, so it is more reasonable to ask Yinggao.
At this point, Li Mu moved towards Yinggao and said, “Your Majesty, you should know the truth that war will lead to death. Daqin has been fighting continuously for a hundred years. Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Central Plains have been in turmoil, and the people are eager to recuperate.”
“The loneliness is of course knowing, the truth is that fighting will kill you!”
Ying nodded with a high smile, then turned towards Li Mu in a low voice, and said, “However, Lord Wu An is a military general, don’t you know that a country will be in danger if it forgets to fight?”
“I, Daqin, established the country with military force, and naturally I will not give up swords and soldiers.”
“It’s just that, when the Central Plains are unified, Daqin’s military use in the future will only be aimed at foreigners, and the scale will not be too large, especially after the surrender of the Huns and Baiyue!”
Hearing Ying Gao’s explanation, Li Mu nodded, then got up and went to Ying Gao to greet the king with his courtiers: “Last general Li Mu pays a visit to the prince!”
“General waiver!”
At this moment, Yinggao did not give in, he knew that at this moment, what he represented was not himself, but the government of Qin.
Waiting for Li Mu to get up, Ying Gao turned towards Li Mu and said, “General Li Mu, the army under your command is an elite army, but apart from the frontier army, the army in the hinterland is almost a mob.”
“If someone in the army is disarmed and returns to the field, all the orphans should go down.”
“As for this army, all of them will be incorporated into the Great Qin Ruishi, and will continue to be led by generals and obey the orders of the king!”
“No.”
Li Mu nodded.
Yinggao didn’t want to bring Li Mu under his command, but he now had an army of 500,000 to 600,000 soldiers, and they were all soldiers of a hundred soldiers, and he was no longer able to support the army.
The current Daqin army has reached more than 1.5 million troops. If you add the 200,000 army under Li Mu’s command, it will reach a terrifying 1.7 million.
Once the army swept across the Central Plains, the force would reach a terrifying two million.
The population of Daqin is not enough to support such a large army.
According to Ying Gao’s estimate, when the entire Central Plains is swept across, the population of Daqin will reach 30 million, and the army will reach 2 million, which is equivalent to fifteen to one, almost equivalent to the use of military force.
And the war is over, Daqin’s most important strategy will be to consolidate China and restore the vitality of the Central Plains, not war.
Seven days later, Li Mu assembled the army, and there were only 200,000 people left.
In the shogunate, all the generals were united, and Wang Jian and Li Mu were together.
Yinggao looked at the crowd with a solemn tone, and said, “Everyone, the Zhao kingdom is destroyed, immediately send a letter to the king to inform the matter.”
“No.”
“At the same time, General Li Mu’s army has dispatched 100,000 elites, including the side riders, in addition, 50,000 pythons from Gu’s command, and 50,000 Qin Ruishi from the general’s command, a total of 200,000 troops, sit in the town. Zhao Di.”
“This army has General Li Mu as the generals, Ning Sheng and Xin Sheng as the lieutenants!”
Having said this, Ying Gao glanced over the faces of Li Mu and the others, and finally said in a deep voice, “For the remaining 100,000 frontier troops, 50,000 will be merged into the Python Army, and 50,000 will be merged into the Great Qin Ruishi!”
“In addition to the retreat of Daqin Ruishi all to Xianyang, General Wang Ben led the python army to continue to garrison Handan!”
“No.”
Li Mu was not surprised by such a situation.
If Yinggao’s army of 200,000 people were to be handed over to him, he would not feel at ease.
The Python Sparrow Army is Yinggao’s confidant, and Daqin Ruishi is the confidant of Qin Wangzheng. The border army is incorporated into it, which is also a good place.
Seeing everyone nodding, Li Mu and other subordinate generals did not object, and Ying said in a high voice, “In the name of the father, the king and the solitary man, we declare that the state of Zhao is destroyed, and the land of Zhao enters Qin.”
“No.”
A series of military orders were issued, and the entire shogunate quickly began to operate.
Li Mu and Wang Jian watched Ying Gao issue the military order, and couldn’t help but feel a lot of emotion in their hearts. Today’s Ying Gao, in every move, already has the demeanor of a peerless commander.
“Sir and Zhang Liang are temporarily serving as Gu’s special envoys, responsible for the security of Zhao’s land and some preparations. The officials sent by the imperial court are already on their way.”
At this moment, Ying Gao turned towards Fan Zeng and Zhang Liang and said, “Counting the population and land of Zhao, and drawing a detailed map of Zhao, is very useful!”
“No.”
Xianyang.
Although the news of Yinggao has not been sent out, Qin Wangzheng holds the black ice platform in his hand, and the news of the destruction of Handan city has already reached Xianyang, and the entire Qin court is staring at Daijun.
When Li Mu surrendered and Yinggao and Wang Jian integrated the army, Heibingtai sent the news to Xianyang.
“Your Majesty, there is news from Heibingtai that the prince persuaded Li Mu of Wu’an of Zhao State to surrender, Li Mu surrendered to Da Qin, and Zhao State was completely destroyed!”
Dunwei saluted Yingzheng and said, “At this moment, the prince is consolidating the army with the general in Daijun, and I believe he will return to Xianyang in a few days.”
Hearing this, Ying Zheng was overjoyed.
It’s just a long life as a monarch, and Ying Zheng has long been accustomed to being calm: “Keep an eye on the news from Zhao Di, and wait for the detailed military report from the prince!”
“No.”
Dun weakly turned around and left Zhangtai Palace, Ying Zheng got up and walked to the huge sand table of Zhangtai Palace, pulled out the Zhao Ziling flag of Dai County, and replaced it with the flag of Daqin.
Looking at the territory of Da Qin, a smile appeared on the corner of Ying Zheng’s mouth.
Now, only Chu, Qi, Wei, and Yan are left in the six kingdoms of Shandong.
With Daqin’s mighty troops, it was only a matter of time before the four kingdoms were destroyed. Daqin’s speed of destroying the country was much faster than he imagined.
Originally, Yingzheng planned to destroy the six kingdoms within ten years, but now, under the offensive of Yinggao and Wang Jian, Han and Zhao have already been destroyed, and it took only two years to destroy the two countries.
Zhao Guo is the biggest hard bone among the six countries in Shandong.
The state of Zhao was destroyed, and among the remaining states, the most troublesome was the state of Chu.
But, even so, it didn’t take eight years for Da Qin to sweep the Central Plains.
