Chapter 17 I will help us solve it myself (begging for monthly tickets and rewards!)

For ordinary people, candles are extremely precious. In fact, many ordinary people have never used a candle in their entire lives. However, for this noble lady, the light in the palace was just a little dim, and the clever servants lit the candles, illuminating the gorgeous and exquisite palace that ordinary people dare not even think about, as bright as day.

Suddenly, the sound of running water was heard in the hall, which seemed to be empty except for this stunning beauty. Along with the sound, a vague phantom appeared in the dim candlelight behind a vermilion pillar.

"Master, the target is dead!"

Along with this person's sudden arrival, a sinister and unpleasant voice was heard, reporting the news to the tall and slender beauty.

"Very good!" The stunning beauty heard this voice and said calmly, "Have you cleaned up the beginning and the end?"

"Please rest assured, master. We have dealt with everything. The one who came forward was the son of that fat guy. He was willing to pay 10,000 taels of gold because the target's information was inaccurate and caused the death of his father, so he wanted to kill the target to vent his anger. Now, after spending the last of his money, he has hanged himself."

"very good!"

After hearing this, the beautiful lady smiled charmingly, and as she spoke softly, her tall, slender, and well-proportioned body walked toward the inner hall. At that moment, a cold wind blew into the hall, causing the gauze hanging in the hall to ripple like water, covering her beautiful body.

…………

Fanwu.

Bang!
In the night, the wind was as sharp as a knife.

The whistling cold wind was more severe than a sword. Even the old Qin soldiers who had been trained in the bitter cold of the western frontier could not stand such a cold climate. In the huge military camp, except for the Qin soldiers on patrol, most of the soldiers gathered in the military tents to warm themselves by the fire, unwilling to leave the tents.

Handsome tent.

The treatment of the Qin army varied with status. Ordinary soldiers were lucky to have a full meal, while those with prominent status could not only eat delicious rice and meat, but even occasionally be provided with strong liquor that should never appear in the army. As a general, even when marching and fighting, he could enjoy the best treatment.

Inside the tent, there were thick and soft sheepskins, and an oil lamp was burning every few steps. On the spacious table, there was a roasted chicken, a fish, a few side dishes, a large bowl of rice, and a small pot of wine. The large amount of wine and meat exuded a fragrant aroma that made people salivate.

At this moment, the two Qin generals Yang Duanhe and Mi Gong who were staying in this luxurious tent had no intention of eating.

Yang Duanhe, with gray hair and beard, thought of the defeat. Driven by anger, he punched the table hard, making a low muffled sound, and shook the food on the table, almost spilling it all over the floor.

"Brother Yang, why are you so angry?"

Yang Duanhe and Mi Gong were both veterans with outstanding achievements in the Qin army, but Mi Gong was superior to Yang Duanhe in terms of prestige and military exploits. With snow-white hair and beard and wrinkles all over his face, Mi Gong, who looked like he could be put into a coffin at any time, was wearing a mighty armor and sitting on the commander's chair. Seeing the anger on Yang Duanhe's face, Mi Gong seemed to be unaffected by the defeat and smiled as if nothing had happened.

Yang Duanhe said hatefully: "Mr. Mi, you and I attacked from both sides, but still lost to Li Mu. You have become a stepping stone for Li Mu to move to the next level. After this battle, as long as King Zhao is not a fool, he will definitely make use of Li Mu. He will definitely replace Lian Po and become a major threat to our Great Qin!" At the end, Yang Duanhe looked worried.

Since King Wuling of Zhao introduced the Hu clothing and horse riding, Zhao State has become the first obstacle for Qin State to go east. Although, more than 20 years ago, Bai Qi, the Marquis of Wu'an, slaughtered 400,000 Zhao troops, which severely damaged Zhao State and almost made it unable to recover, Zhao State was not dead yet, and famous generals such as Lian Po and Pang Nuan continued to emerge.

Now Li Mu has emerged, whose ability in commanding troops is almost as good as that of Bai Qi, the Marquis of Wu'an. Throughout the Qin State, it is likely that only Meng Ao and Wang Jian can be his rival.

"Brother Yang, you are absolutely right." Lord Mi agreed with Yang Duanhe's point of view, "Li Mu will indeed become a major threat to our Great Qin." Halfway through his words, Lord Mi revealed a hint of sarcasm, "However, someone will help us eliminate this major threat."

Yang Duan was startled, and reacted instantly, saying in surprise: "Mr. Mi, you mean..."

Mi Gong raised his hand to interrupt Yang Duanhe's words, and smiled slightly, saying: "Lian Po led the army to attack Qi, captured Yangjin, and shocked the princes. In the early stage of the Battle of Changping, he held on with a stronghold, leaving the Qin State helpless for three years. In the end, King Xiaocheng of Zhao removed him with just a counter-espionage plot. When the Yan army invaded, he defeated the Yan army in the city of Hao, forcing Yan to cede five cities in exchange for peace, and was therefore appointed as a false prime minister and named Lord Xinping. During the reign of King Zhao Daoxiang, he was frustrated, so he fled to Wei and Chu, and then died of old age in Chu."

"The current King of Zhao is the son of King Zhao Daoxiang and a prostitute. He relies on his mother, the prostitute queen, and the treacherous Guo Kai for state affairs. Although he has just ascended the throne, he is even more incompetent than his father, King Zhao Daoxiang. One day, my Great Qin only needs to come up with a counter-espionage plan to get the King of Zhao to get rid of this great threat for us!"

"Mr. Mi is absolutely right."

Yang Duanhe thought about Lian Po's miserable end and the performance of the current King of Zhao after he ascended the throne. He secretly felt fortunate that since Duke Xiao of Qin, all the kings of the Qin State had been wise rulers; while since King Wuling of Zhao, all the kings of the Zhao State had been incompetent. He could not help but feel a little sympathy for Li Mu, who would inevitably have a miserable end in the future. He bowed to Lord Mi with a sincere heart and admired his foresight.

"Although you and I were defeated this time," Lord Mi ended the topic, "we, under the order of the king, captured tens of thousands of Zhao people. An earthquake has occurred in my Great Qin. The addition of tens of thousands of Zhao people is enough to enrich our national strength and offset the guilt of our defeat this time."

"That's right." Yang Duanhe nodded in agreement when he heard this.

The Qin army has strict military law.

Indeed, every Qin soldier could gain a prominent position by virtue of his own bravery. For example, Bai Qi, Meng Ao, Wang Xi, Wang Jian, and even Mi Gong and Yang Duanhe all climbed up step by step in this way. However, once they were defeated in battle, the punishment they faced was also huge, and there were even examples of generals being demoted to soldiers.

……

"I'm finally in! A brilliant future, here I come!"

While Yang Duanhe and Mi Gong were discussing matters, thousands of children were placed in dozens of military tents in a corner of the military camp, with an average of one tent for every hundred people. They would be taken back to Qin and placed in Xianyang and surrounding cities, so that they would grow up in the influence of Qin and become Qin people.

As for adults, they would be dispersed, with each pavilion housing at least one or two people, and at most ten people, and they would be allocated wasteland to cultivate, so that they could be assimilated into the Qin people over time. This was also the way Qin and the other six countries dealt with the common people they captured.
