At this moment, the war between Qin and the Allied Forces was truly over.
This war brought very heavy disasters to both sides, accompanied by bursts of pain. When the coalition forces fell into internal fighting, Meng Ao actually wanted to send troops to attack the coalition forces again, but Zhao Kuo did not.
Agree. From the beginning to the end, Zhao Kuo only wanted to repel the coalition forces, not to destroy them. When fighting the Zhao soldiers, Zhao Kuo looked at the desperate Zhao people, and the pain in his heart was indescribable.
After the coalition forces withdrew from Qin's territory, Zhao Kuo left Meng Ao behind to continue the defense. He returned to Xianyang with the main force, leaving Meng Ao here because Zhao Kuo was not sure whether the coalition forces would
After launching the attack again, the current coalition forces and the powerful enemies are now able to kill each other. Zhao Kuo has no idea what they will do. And when Zhao Kuo led the army back to Xianyang, the Qin people were completely immersed in it.
in joy.
They believe that this is their victory. This war is very strange. Both sides of the battle seem to think that they are the winners of this war. No one feels that they have lost this war. The coalition forces probably think that they have lost the war.
They burned down the Huashan granary and blocked the Qin people at Hangu Pass. This was a huge victory. The Qin people also felt that they had defeated the coalition army of nearly 200,000 people and made Lord Xinling run away with his head in his arms. They were the victors.
of the party.
And Zhao Kuo has naturally been recognized by everyone again.
The appearance of Zhao Kuo completely turned the tide of the war. The Qin people, who were almost completely defeated because of Lord Xinling's detour, ate countless small dumplings under Zhao Kuo's command, successfully disrupted the opponent's offensive, and even
They captured all the Chu people who wantonly killed prisoners in front of Hangu Pass and executed them all. Meng Ao, Wang Jian and other generals were extremely humbled by Zhao Kuo. For the first time, they understood that the war could still be carried out like this, especially
Wang Jian and Zhao Kuo simply opened a new door for him.
In addition to them, the soldiers at the bottom also respected Zhao Kuo extremely. They defeated the enemy without even reacting. Such a thing only happened when Lord Wu An was still alive. In short, Zhao Kuo
Kuo took these main forces and set off towards Xianyang, and the news that he had repelled the coalition forces spread throughout the Qin State. The people of Qin State were extremely happy, and the ministers also breathed a sigh of relief.
The most shocking thing was with Lu Buwei. In fact, Lu Buwei was already ready to negotiate peace. He didn't think that a temporary change of generals could change such a huge disadvantage. However, that was really what happened. Wu Chengjun became the general of Qin.
, and then the disadvantage turned into an advantage. Lu Buwei was stunned and could only accept this fact. The only one who was not surprised was probably Han Fei, because Han Fei knew his teacher's talent.
The more Han Fei learns, the more he comes to appreciate the teacher's unimaginable depth of knowledge. He seems to have a lot of understanding and ideas in all aspects. Han Fei feels that he can't even understand these ideas. Teacher
Han Fei was not surprised to be able to defeat Lord Xinling. Lord Xinling was on a different level than the teacher!
When Zhao Kuo arrived outside Xianyang, he saw Lu Buwei leading his ministers to greet him, but the person standing at the front was not Lu Buwei, but... Zhao Zheng, no, it was Ying Zheng.
Zhao Kuo felt that he suddenly didn't recognize his son. Zhao Zheng changed into the clothes of the Qin people, as if he was a soldier who had just walked out of the Terracotta Warriors. He used to wear Zhao people's clothes and liked to wear red.
But now, he was wearing black Qin clothes, and he seemed to be a made-up person. Zhao Kuo couldn't help but widen his eyes, and Ying Zheng also saw his father.
His father, who was dressed in military uniform, also felt strange to him.
However, such a father looks so tall and mighty.
Lu Buwei led his ministers and Zhao Zheng towards the direction of Zhao Kuo. Zhao Kuo got off the military chariot. Lu Buwei and others bowed and bowed, and Zhao Zheng did the same. After paying his respects, he stood up and said,
Said: "Father...you are in trouble." Zhao Kuo squinted his eyes and looked at this guy, but did not speak. He just raised his head and looked at Lu Buwei. Lu Buwei then accepted helplessly: "The king is seriously ill, so it should be
The prince comes to greet you."
Zhao Kuo did not appreciate Lu Buwei's almost flattering move. He just nodded and then followed Lu Buwei. Zhao Zheng got into the car and set off towards Xianyang. As he walked in the car, what Zhao Kuo was asking about was the King of Qin.
Lu Buwei said helplessly: "The king's physical condition is not very good, and the imperial physician is helpless. It is also the king's decision that the prince will greet you this time."
"The king already knows the specific situation of this war..." Lu Buwei said worriedly: "I didn't dare to tell him about the war before, but the king was very angry and ordered me to tell the truth, so I will tell him the situation of the war.
, and told him about your expedition. Fortunately, he is not angry. He knows that you are leading the army and is very satisfied. However, recently, his body has become increasingly weak..."
Lu Buwei looked around, then lowered his voice, and said: "The king has summoned the prince, and entrusted the ministers of the court to take good care of the prince, and asked us to assist him..." Zhao Kuo was stunned, and then became helpless.
He let out a long sigh. It seemed that the foreigner was desperate and had already made arrangements for his funeral. In this era of very underdeveloped medical technology, basically a serious illness could sentence this person to death.
When Zhao Kuo followed Lu Buwei to Xianyang, he saw that officials from all over the country organized the people to come to greet them in an orderly manner. This was different from Zhao State. The people of Zhao State were spontaneous, but the people of Qin State were forced to come.
They were organized because they could not visit anything at will like the people of Zhao State, which was also illegal. Lu Buwei took Zhao Kuo directly into the palace, while the rest of the army wanted to return to their hometowns to complete the
This time of service.
Lu Buwei took Zhao Kuo directly to the back hall. Ying Yiren was lying on the bed, taking medicine and coughing constantly. When he saw Zhao Kuo coming, a look of emotion suddenly appeared on his face.
Smiling, he struggled to get up, but Zhao Kuo stopped him, grabbed his arm, and asked him to sit down. Ying Yiren smiled bitterly and said to Zhao Kuo: "Wu Chengjun, I really have no way to come in person."
Welcome, please forgive me..."
Zhao Kuo shook his head and said: "Please don't say that..." Ying Yiren fell silent. Suddenly, he started coughing violently again. He wiped the tears from his face and said to Zhao Kuo: "I have already
He has been enthroned as a prince... He will succeed me and take charge of the Qin State. However, he is too young. I hope you can help him and assist him... Ahem~~
"Ying Yiren coughed violently again.
Zhao Kuo looked at him and frowned tightly.
"You're going to be fine..."
"No...it won't..." Ying Yiren couldn't help but shed tears. He looked at Zhao Kuo and said painfully: "I have been running for my own hegemony. I think I
To be able to achieve the unprecedented great feat of becoming the king of the world, I didn’t expect it... It has only been three years. In three years, I have done nothing, I have accomplished nothing, my ambition... I have achieved great things!
!”
The foreigner held Zhao Kuo's hand tightly. Zhao Kuo watched the king cry continuously. He knew in his heart that the foreigner was not crying because of fear of death, let alone illness. He was probably crying for his own ambitions.
Weeping, this young man who was a hostage in Zhao had imagined countless times that he would become the king of Qin. He had thought about how vast a territory he would open up for Qin and what kind of prosperous age he would build.
However, just when he was about to show off his talents, all his expectations, all his fantasies, everything was about to disappear. A sudden illness destroyed that great ideal, which was unacceptable to foreigners.
, his eldest father lived for more than seventy years, and his father also lived for more than fifty years, and now he is not even forty years old... He is not willing to leave like this.
Zhao Kuo didn't know how to comfort him for a while, and Lu Buwei, who was far away, was in a particularly complicated mood at the moment. He never imagined that the strong King Qin would fall ill three years after he ascended the throne, or even fall ill.
He became so weak... He thought that King Qin could survive him... King Qin held Zhao Kuo's arm tightly, even trying to press the seal, but in the end, he slowly let go
.
He smiled, then raised his head and said, "I've lost my composure..."
He thought for a moment and then asked, "Can Zheng'er come and stay with me for a few days?" Zhao Kuo nodded and said, "Of course."
When Zhao Kuo was about to leave the palace, King Qin suddenly asked: "Wu Chengjun?! Can Qin rule the world?!"
"able!"
Zhao Kuo gave an extremely firm answer.
When Zhao Kuo returned home, he saw Yi Zheng holding Shan and waiting for him at the door. The news of Zhao Kuo's return had already spread, and Yi had been waiting for him. Zhao Kuo first hugged Yi and then left.
She took the little beauty in her arms. The little beauty ate her chubby hands, widened her eyes, and looked at her father curiously. Zhao Kuo smiled and looked at his daughter's face, as if all the sadness in the world was gone.
exists.
"My little beauty, have you missed me?" Zhao Kuo hugged his daughter and kissed her a few more times on the face. Then he kept playing with his daughter. Seeing him like this, Yi couldn't help but
After interrupting him, he just watched. After a long time, Zhao Kuo was still unwilling to let go of his daughter. Yi then reminded him helplessly: "Mother and Kang are still waiting for you inside..." Zhao Kuo then remembered them.
, exclaimed, and then walked into the courtyard with her daughter in her arms.
"Father!!"
Zhao Kang, who was playing in the courtyard, saw Zhao Kuo, suddenly jumped up and ran towards Zhao Kuo. Zhao Kuo leaned down carefully, for fear of throwing Shan Shan, and then there was a look on Zhao Kang's face.
After a kiss, she stood up and left... Mother Zhao stood up tremblingly and looked at her son in front of her. Mother Zhao was not young anymore, her hair was already gray, and her eyes were not very good.
Zhao Kuo looked at her, feeling vaguely sad.
"Mother~~" Zhao Kuo leaned over and bowed, and Zhao's mother helped him up with a smile. As Zhao's mother grew older, she gradually lost her original sharpness, and she became more and more kind.
She looked more gentle than before... After she helped her son up, she did not ask about the situation on the battlefield, because she knew that her son did not like the battlefield, so she took Zhao Kuo to eat and prepared food for Zhao Kuo.
Several of his favorite peaches.
Zhao Kuo held the peach. His mother usually likes to eat dates, but it seems that he has not given his mother even one date for a long time.
Zhao Kuo looked around and then asked: "Where is Zheng?"
Yi whispered: "I was picked up by the warriors of the palace, and Zhao Fu followed..." Zhao Kuo nodded and continued to eat with them.

But at this moment, Zhao Zheng stood in front of King Qin. King Qin asked everyone to leave here and summoned Zhao Zheng alone. In fact, this was not the first time he came to summon Zheng. King Qin lay weakly.
On the bed, he looked at his son beside him and said, "Zheng... I have a few things to tell you. You are not allowed to violate..." Zhao Zheng nodded, then knelt down and sat on his bed.
before.
King Qin said: "You are still young. In all matters of state, you should listen to the advice of ministers. If the ministers are not sure of their decision, they can go to Lord Wu Cheng and listen to his advice."
"I see..."
"You must let your biological mother be the queen mother... and you must not mess around."
"I see."
"You have to govern diligently and realize the great cause of becoming the king of the world..." Yiren said, but stopped talking. He looked helplessly at his son beside him and said, "I really envy you.
.. I’m envious... Why doesn’t God give me a few more years... A few years are enough...” King Qin was very unwilling, his breathing gradually became heavier, and he kept
He asked, his voice getting lower and lower.
Ying Zheng suddenly felt a little scared. He hurriedly called out and called the imperial physician Ling and others in.
However, the Imperial Physician's Order seemed to have no way to deal with this situation. They could only keep pouring medicine into King Qin. Unfortunately, these medicines only made King Qin cough and spit out the medicine. Apart from this, there was no other way.
There was no other effect. Under such circumstances, Zhao Zheng rushed to his father's side. He stretched out his hand and grabbed Yiren's hand tightly. Yiren's whole body was trembling violently.
His breathing became very difficult, and he was breathing heavily.
His eyes fell on Zheng. He seemed to want to say something, but he couldn't speak. He struggled.
"I will realize the great cause of becoming the king of the world!"
Zhao Zheng said, but Yiren was still struggling. That was not what he wanted to say.
Zhao Zheng thought for a moment and then said: "I will take good care of Zhao Ji...I will listen to the advice of the ministers..."
The stranger was still struggling, as if he was expecting something.
"Father...."
The stranger finally stopped struggling. He smiled at Zhao Zheng and closed his eyes.
