Chapter 90 The second quarter kills Zhao

When Ying Zheng was a child, he never bowed his head to anything and never lost the confidence that "everything is under control".However, when he had become the most powerful King of Qin on this earth, he felt powerless for the first time, and fell into an insurmountable fear for the first time. In Xianyang Ganquan Palace, Empress Dowager Zhao Ji suddenly became seriously ill. The imperial doctor said that she might not last long.Looking at his mother's old and sick face, Ying Zheng felt as if a knife was piercing his heart. God, she is not yet fifty years old. Ying Zheng had to do something for his mother, he wanted her to leave with a smile on her face.In this world, what wish is there that the mother has not fulfilled?Yes, my mother still has revenge.When their mother and son lived together in Handan, they were insulted and bullied by Zhao people.It's time to make them pay.

Therefore, Ying Zheng passed down the imperial edict, expressing his strong dissatisfaction with Wang Jian's delaying tactics.The mother's days are numbered, so she must break through Handan before she dies, and send her off with the blood of her enemy. Yingzheng put personal grievances on top of the military and state affairs, and forced Wang Jian to fight quickly, which naturally made Wang Jian furious.After the anger is over, he can only obey his orders. The Qin army took the initiative to attack, and Li Muzheng couldn't wait for it.The two armies fought, and the Qin army was defeated.Wang Jian hastily withdrew his troops, closed his camp and stood firm, at the same time he sent a letter to Xianyang, saying, "Because Li Mu is still alive, Zhao Guofei is too eager to go down."

Yingzheng was furious, and Dang even wanted to change generals before the battle, so he dismissed Wang Jian as general.Li Si remonstrated, "Li Mu is a famous general in the world, the pillar of Zhao Guo. Once Li Mu goes, the death of Zhao Guo will only happen overnight. I have a plan to prevent Li Mu from being a general of Zhao. Now Yao Jia is going on an envoy to Zhao, so that he can make him die." If that's the case, everything will help." Ying Zheng turned his anger into joy, and nodded his head. A few days later in Handan, Yao Jia visited Guo Kai.Guo Kai could be called an old friend of Qin State, the two of them finished their greetings, Yao Jia suddenly offered a large sum of money, Guo Kai asked in surprise, "Why?"

Yao Jia said, "I heard that the King of Zhao wants to replace Li Mu with someone else. May you go to see the King of Zhao and dispel his intention to change the general." Guo Kai is King Zhao's most trusted minister, he thought to himself, he didn't say to change Li Mu, everyone knows that once Li Mu is changed, Zhao country will be over.If we really want to replace Li Mu, Yao Jia, as Qin's envoy, should be happy before it's too late.However, he just didn't want us to replace Li Mu, there must be something weird about it.Wouldn't it be beneficial to Qin if Li Mu wasn't replaced?I, Guo Kai, am a smart person, you Yao Jia can't fool me.

Sure enough, that night, one of Yao Jia's attendants secretly asked Guo Kai to see him. He kowtowed and bled, and said, "I am a member of Zhao. Now that my family and country are in danger, I dare not say anything. Li Mu has made peace with Qin privately and agreed on the day when Zhao will be broken." Therefore, Yao Jiafang spared no expense in begging the king to keep Li Mu's position as General Zhao, Ming Jun must investigate." In a rage, Guo Kai went up against the police.Good job Yao Jia, I knew there was another conspiracy behind you.So he rewarded his followers heavily, went to Zhao Wangqian overnight, and said, "Li Mu and Sima Shang want to oppose Zhao and vote for Qin, please make a decision."

Zhao Wangqian was shocked.Li Mu is Zhao's last barrier, and all of Zhao's elite troops are in his hands. Once Li Mu surrenders to Qin, Zhao will have no choice but to die.Zhao Wangqian hurriedly asked for advice, and Guo Kaidao said, "Your Majesty, you can quickly send an order to summon Li Mu and Sima Shang back to Handan, and take Zhao Cong and Yan Ju as their replacements to fight against the Qin army." Zhao Cong and Yan gathered in De's army, passed on the decree of King Zhao, and ordered Li Mu to hand over the talisman.Li Mu said excitedly, "The two armies are facing each other, and the safety of the country is at the mercy of one general. Even though the king ordered me, I dare not obey!"

Zhao Cong drew his sword and shouted, "Does the general want to resist the king's order?" Seeing Zhao Cong's arrogant attitude, Li Mu's disciples wanted to kill him on the spot.Li Mu stopped and sighed, "The king of Zhao suspected that I was plotting rebellion. I killed two people and refused to accept the king's order. Those who know think they are loyal, and those who don't know think they are traitors. It is suitable for slanderers to use as an excuse." So he took the military talisman and gave it to the two , Said, "please leave the state affairs to the two monarchs. Do what you do well, and don't let Zhao Guo go." After finishing speaking, he rode away without looking back.

Guo Kai was afraid of Li Mu's defection to Qin, so he sent his warriors to arrest Li Mu, and got him in a traveler's house, and when he was drunk, bound him and beheaded him.A poor generation of famous generals withered away with hatred. Hearing that Li Mu had been killed, there was a lot of mourning in the Zhao army camp, especially those frontier soldiers who had fought with Li Mu, wept bitterly.The cry spread far to the Qin camp, and Wang Jian sighed, "Li Mu will surely die. It is a pity that a famous general who has fought a hundred battles will never die on the battlefield." He ordered the army to set up a spirit for Li Mu and worship him personally.When Zhao Jun heard about it, the more he praised Wang Jian for his righteousness, the more he hated Zhao Wang for his mediocrity.

Zhao Cong and Yan Ju are no match for Wang Jian!The Qin army fought again, the Zhao army was defeated, Zhao Cong's army was defeated, and Yan Ju died.The main force of Zhao State was annihilated. In the nineteenth year of Yingzheng, Wang Jian and Qiang Yan took advantage of the victory to attack Handan and captured Zhao Wangqian alive.The State of Zhao was destroyed so far, and the Eastern princes went to the second of six. The demise of Zhao State means that Qin State has taken a breakthrough step towards the goal of unifying the world.Yingzheng came to Handan and revisited his hometown.This capital is the place where he was born and where he spent the first nine years of his life.However, he has no love for this place, only hate.Once, Handan brought him all the memories of suffering and shame.But now, he returns as a conqueror, and Handan prostrates at his feet, allowing him to take whatever he wants.

Revenge is mine, and I will repay.Where are those enemies who insulted their mother and child now?Even though some of them have died, their descendants are still there!Under the search and arrest of the Qin army all over the city, all the enemies of Yingzheng's mother and son were seized.What awaited them was the fate of being buried alive. Ying Zheng looked coldly at those familiar or unfamiliar faces, watched them scream and struggle, and watched them be buried cruelly in the dust, and his heart was filled with the pleasure of revenge.He once promised his mother that he would severely punish those who insulted and bullied them back then.

He did it. When Yingzheng was pouring out his anger in Handan, in Ganquan Palace in Xianyang, Queen Mother Zhao Ji slowly closed her dim eyes and finished her legendary life.At the last moment of her life, she missed Ying Zheng - her only concern in this world.Although Ying Zheng had taken away everything from her, including her Lao Ai, her other two sons, and Lu Buwei.However, she still loves him deeply.She, like all mothers, believed that her son was the greatest man in the world.She is different from all mothers, because her son is indeed the most amazing person in the world.
