If there was any place suitable for Ying Zheng to live in Handan at this time, it should be the imperial palace.
But of course Ying Zheng, who is suspicious by nature, would not choose the imperial palace.
Not to mention that the place has not been searched thoroughly, and there may be hidden cells, tunnels, etc., and a few assassins suddenly jumped out. Wouldn't that be an advantage for Zhao Ren?
In addition, if Ying Zheng stays in the palace, he will undoubtedly tell everyone that he has arrived.
Ying Zheng would not be so stupid. He would rather live in a worse place but still be safe, so he still stayed in the barracks.
This time, when Wang and Yang saw Ying Zheng staring at the few objects in front of the case in a daze, they no longer thought that the king was possessed as before.
Smelling the lingering fragrance, Wang Jian immediately became greedy:
"Your Majesty, could it be that Shen Bing came up with something delicious again?"
Yang Duanhe also swallowed:
"Your Majesty, I still miss yesterday's noodles, but now this thing looks like..."
Ying Zheng replied without raising his head:
"It's certainly more delicious than those noodles."
"This thing needs to be baked with fat and stuffed with green onions, so it's called scallion pancake."
“It’s crispy on the inside and crispy on the outside, with a fragrant aroma. It’s no exaggeration to say it’s extremely delicious.”
"Do you two generals want to try it?"
Wang Jian and Yang Duanhe nodded hurriedly.
Even if he had no such intention, it would be unbearable to be described like this by Ying Zheng.
But Ying Zheng was not in a hurry. He raised his head towards the scallion pancake that was divided into several pieces and put together again, and said:
"Two generals, please look, this is our Great Qin, these are Zhao, Han, Wei..."
"Once the State of Zhao is destroyed, the State of Wei will be surrounded by our territory, Da Qin."
"I would like to know how long it will take if our army wants to capture Wei State?"
Wang Jian thought for a while and replied:
"Report to the King."
"Our army destroyed Han first and then Zhao. Especially in the battle with Zhao, we lost a lot of troops."
"However, the Zhao Kingdom has suffered from natural disasters and wars for many years. At this time, the people's morale is unstable and it is difficult to survive."
"So I think it is not appropriate to send troops to attack Wei at this time."
Ying Zheng nodded slowly in agreement.
In fact, the situation in Qin at this time is more serious than what Shen Bing said.
In order to conquer the old enemy Qin State, Zhao State, it had resorted to all its might.
Even if Shen Bing hadn't planned to kill Li Mu this time, he might have returned without success as before.
Although the capture of Zhao State opened up the road from Qin State to Yan and Qi, after years of disasters, Zhao State starved to death all over the country.
This not only failed to reduce the burden on Qin, but also created many more mouths to eat.
As a result, even Wei, which Shen Bing said was "not a concern", was unable to attack.
Although the Wei State was like a turtle in an urn, surrounded by Qin on three sides.
Ying Zheng couldn't help but say "Alas" and let out a long sigh.
He originally had a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that Wang Jian would tell him that he could conquer Wei.
At that time, we can recruit troops and food from Wei State to continue the war.
In this way, he can kill all his enemies without any scruples.
But now... with the negative answer, this only hope has been shattered.
After a moment of silence, Ying Zheng asked again:
"General Wang, how is the matter with you going?"
Wang Jian bowed his head heavily and replied:
"I am doing my best to investigate."
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, if it wasn't for the long journey, we would be able to catch them all within three days."
Needless to say, what they were tracing was to find out the noble relatives of Zhao State one by one and wait for three days to kill them.
Of course, severe punishment is inevitable...
Although the science and technology of the ancients was underdeveloped, the torture methods used to interrogate prisoners were endless, extremely cruel, creative and chilling.
As a result, those nobles will soon have an idea:
It is death anyway, so why should we suffer these sins before death?
What good will it do to yourself if you don’t recruit?
Might as well grab a few more cushions!
So it won't take long for you to be able to do all the tricks one by one.
Even if there are no relatives but there is a grudge, we will try our best to get some connections and bring it out.
Ying Zheng thought for a while, then gritted his teeth and said with great determination:
"That's all, there's no need to investigate, just let them go."
"Those people in the prison continue to be detained, and it is not difficult to provide them with meals every day."
Wang Jian looked up at Ying Zheng in confusion, suspecting that he had heard wrongly.
You must know that from a military perspective, the order of destroying the six kingdoms should have been to destroy the weaker Han and Wei first and then attack Qi.
In this way, we can fight from the west to the east and separate the strongest Chu State and Zhao State from contacting each other.
Then divide and attack them.
From the beginning, Ying Zheng desperately attacked Zhao State, which was located in the north and had very strong military strength.
The reason is that what Ying Zheng thinks about day and night is to trap and kill the enemies of Zhao State in order to fulfill his wish.
The reason why South Korea was the first to be destroyed was simply because the Qin army repeatedly attacked Zhao State and was unable to defeat it. It destroyed the entire country and brought back some blood.
But now, seeing that the great revenge has been avenged, the king actually gives up?
And he also ordered him to feed these enemies?
Yang Duanhe was also stunned. He was responsible for digging holes, so he asked:
"Your Majesty."
"The execution pit..."
Ying Zheng interrupted Yang Duanhe:
"Fill it in!"
Then he raised his head towards the scallion pancake on the table:
"Don't you want to try scallion pancakes?"
"take it!"
Wang Jian glanced at the scallion pancake and immediately replied:
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I just remembered that I came here after dinner."
"At this time, the bloating is unbearable and I can't eat anything."
Yang Duanhe was about to thank the king and step forward to enjoy the meal, but he stopped immediately when he heard Wang Jian's words.
No, this guy was discussing torture with me just now.
Why do you say you have eaten now?
It's the time now, and it's still far from dinner time.
Then Yang Duanhe suddenly remembered what Ying Zheng said and discovered that the scallion pancake on the table was a map of the Seven Kingdoms.
I couldn't help but secretly exclaim, "It's so dangerous."
If he were to eat it, he would be digging a hole to fill it.
We have to add the Nine Clans.
So he quickly raised his hands and said:
"Your Majesty, forgive me."
"Weichen has been experiencing frequent abdominal discomfort recently, and the medical staff told him not to eat too much."
"If the general hadn't mentioned it, the ministers would have almost forgotten it."
Ying Zheng smiled:
"In this case, I won't force the two generals."
Wang and Yang answered in unison:
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The two of them secretly sweated at the same time.
This is so damn difficult, Your Majesty, this is called digging a hole!
And it’s still a bottomless pit.
At this time, Ying Zheng Surong shouted: "Wang Jian."
Wang Jian hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I'm here."
Ying Zheng ordered:
"Today you call the craftsmen to build a house next to the prison."
"On the day it was completed, Zhao's ministers were asked to move into the house and not go out."
"Remember, the craftsmen of Zhao must be summoned, do you understand?"
Wang Jian replied:
"Wei Chen understands."
Wang Jian really understood.
So clever.
Using Zhao's craftsmen means using the fastest speed to tell the world that Ying Zheng has spared the lives of those nobles.
And being next to the prison means that they can be detained or even tortured at any time.
It can win over people's hearts and intimidate the nobles. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.
More importantly, this seems to be the treatment Ying Zheng received in Zhao State...
Although the nobles were alive, they listened to the cries and screams in the prison day and night, and occasionally a few were arrested and interrogated.
That is to say, they have to worry about their own safety all the time, so they are in panic all day long.
"Get down!"
Wang and Yang both bowed and left.
After Wang and Yang left, Yingzheng could no longer resist the temptation of scallion pancakes.
He grabbed the "Wei State" with one hand and the "Yan State" with the other, and ate it up from left to right...
