Daqin Engineers

Chapter 289 Northland

Shen Bing just needs to wait here, he doesn't need to do anything at this point.

Whether the nobles of Chu State surrendered or did not surrender, there was not much threat to the Qin army...Under the attack of Chu Wangqi's army and the Qin army, the collapse of those nobles was only a matter of minutes.

However, Shen Bing still hoped that the nobles of Chu State would surrender, because it is impossible to retreat in any war, even if the Qin Army has a strong advantage over the Chu Army.

Before long, Shen Bing knew that he had achieved his wish...

It was when Shen Bing was discussing with Fusu how to set up a new city.

There were so many people from Chu who came to surrender that they couldn't live in a city.

Suddenly there was cheers outside the tent, and then a guard ran into the tent to report:

"Vice general, Chu Jun has surrendered, Chu Jun has surrendered!"

Shen Bing threw the brush in his hand on the table and said:

"It's so good. If Chu Jun descends, he won't need to build a new city."

Fu Su Ze arched his hands towards Shen Bing:

"Congratulations to the lieutenant for another contribution."

"No, it should be another country."

Shen Bing replied:

"Tongxi and the same, the son also contributed the most."

The two could not help but laugh at each other.

Then there is the question of receiving Chudi.

Shen Bing gave all of this to the Ministry to complete.

Although Shen Bing also wanted to ride a high-headed horse and then stepped into the city of Chu imposingly and planted the banner of Da Qin at the top of the city.

The problem is that Shen Bing is afraid of death!

Who knows if Chu Jun pretended to surrender, but actually wanted to kill him and sink his soldiers?

Or is there someone hiding in the dark with a grudge to shoot a secret arrow?

At this time, Shen Bing didn’t dare to belittle himself. After inventing many of these things and even forming an absolute advantage in productivity, Shen Bing understood that he was no lighter than Yang Duanhe in the eyes of the enemy, and he could even say Shen unceremoniously. The lieutenant soldier is more important than Yang Duan and the coach.

Therefore, his sinking soldiers will become the target of public criticism, and when the situation has not stabilized, he will do the job of receiving the city...that is obviously seeking death.

Qin Jun spent a few days walking to Dongting, during which he received more than 200,000 noble troops.

From Dongting to the south is Chu Wangqi's army.

Qin Jun stopped by the order, Yang Duanhe and Chu Wangqi simply greeted him, and then Chu Wangqi led his troops east.

They will go north to Jinling as ordered by Ying Zheng, where they will join the Xiang army and garrison.

So Chu, the most expansive country among the seven countries, came to a close.

Ying Zheng couldn't help laughing after hearing that Qin Jun had successfully taken over Dongting in Handan, and then asked Li Si:

"Prime Minister, Chu State is already down, what contribution should Shen Bing do?"

Li Si looked at Zhao Gao standing beside Yingzheng, and then replied:

"Back to the king, Shen Bing should be promoted to the first rank."

Ying Zheng nodded:

"Promoted to the first rank is Zuo concubine, and that should be a general in the army."

Li Si arched his hands:

"With the talent of Shen Bing, you can indeed be a general."

Seeing that Li Si's expression was a bit wrong, Ying Zheng couldn't help but asked in confusion:

"Does the prime minister think it's wrong?"

Li Si replied with a frightened expression:

"There are some things, the minister doesn't know whether to say or not..."

Ying Zheng said:

"speak."

Li Si replied:

"Great King, Wang Jianjun has wiped out several countries since he broke Zhao."

"Although Yang Duanhe and Shen Bing are generals and lieutenants, they belong to Wang Jian's former army after all."

"If you continue to use it to kill the swallows, I'm afraid..."

Ying Zheng couldn't help but nodded in agreement with a "oh".

From an outsider's point of view, it is that "the capable one lives" whoever has the ability will go.

However, as a great king, Yingzheng cannot do so in terms of power.

For example, Wang Jian made such a great contribution that he, the great king, felt scared... If one day Wang Jian rises to the side of the emperor, Ying Zheng can't guarantee how many old ministries will follow Wang Jian.

Therefore, Ying Zheng wanted to cut Wang Jian's power.

However, Yang Duanhe and Shen Bing belonged to Wang Jian's old tribe. Their power is not very different from Wang Jian's power. They still pose a threat to the royal power.

If they were to be more powerful... it would not be a good thing.

Another very important point is that at this time the remaining two countries are exactly the three countries, namely Dai, Yan, and Qi, which is not worth mentioning.Then there is no need to rely on such powerful figures as Yang Duanhe and Shen Bing.

This is what the idiom calls "cunning rabbit and dead dog cooking".

Ying Zheng frowned and asked:

"For the present..."

Li Si suggested:

"My lord, the Northland is the upper reaches of the Yellow River."

"Although our army is stationed, there are only a few thousand people."

"Here used to be garrisoned by Li Mu to stop the Huns."

"Now our army can't stop the Huns, and Shen Bing's sacred army..."

So Ying Zheng understood and let Yang Duanhe stationed in the south and Shen Bing stationed in the north.

This separation of north and south makes it difficult to form parties for private interests.

Ying Zheng nodded and asked:

"Then who should be the general to defeat Yan Dai?"

Li Si replied:

"The minister thought General Mengwu was right!"

Yingzheng happened to think of Mengwu too... Before Yingzheng, Yingzheng had deliberately cultivated Mengwu and used it to fight against Wang Jian, but Mengwu was unsuccessful.

The few remaining inconspicuous countries are almost given to him for upgrades, and if they can't defeat Yingzheng, there will be no way.

So Ying Zheng agreed to Li Si's plan without even thinking about it.

What Ying Zheng didn't expect was... This was actually a collusion between Zhao Gao and Li Si.

After Shen Bing was appointed by Ying Zheng as Fusu's master, Li Si and Zhao Gao felt threatened.

Shen Bing is the master of Fusu, so one day Fusu will become the king, and everyone knows who will become the prime minister.

Li Si will definitely lose power by then, and Zhao Gao... will naturally fall out of favor.

Of course, it seems too early to say this.

But there is a saying that "people who have no long-term worries must have near-worries".

As powerful ministers, they don’t think about anything else all day long, they just think about how to obtain and hold these powers firmly in their hands...

Objectively speaking, Li Si was not like this before.

Before the overall situation was determined, Li Si still had the idea of ​​unifying the Central Plains, so he tried his best to govern.

After all, this can also bring credit to Li Si, so he stepped up to the position of prime minister.

But at this time the overall situation is settled... Then there is the issue of power, so it is like a changed person with Zhao Gao.

In fact, in the final analysis, interest relations play a role.

On the other hand, Li Si and Zhao Gao think:

If Shen Bing were dispatched to the north of Tiangao Emperor, then Fusu who had been around Shen Bing would naturally be dispatched.

As a son, Fusu can almost be said to be the default heir. The further away they are, the more room they have to operate...

These ideas are correct, because they succeeded because of these layouts in history.

The problem is that they are facing Shen Bing now.

At this time, Shen Bing needed a place like the North Land.
