Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield

Chapter 398: Chapter 176: Ying Zheng’s Plan! (Part 2)

Of course.

These surrendered soldiers from the Zhao state were originally elite troops, and they were carefully selected, so their combat strength is naturally not an issue.

The next step is to integrate them.

Let them become familiar with the battle formations and tactics of the Qin.

However.

The Zhao Border Army’s practice of wearing barbarian clothing and shooting from horseback can still be implemented.

"The three treasures of cavalry combat."

"Although I know how to make them, it’s better not to bring them out for now. Wait until the end of the Qin to discuss it."

"These are truly powerful weapons for the cavalry."

As for the Cavalry Camp, Zhao Feng naturally continued to employ the Zhao state’s tactic of wearing barbarian clothing and shooting from horseback.

As for those valuable three treasures of cavalry combat, they should be reserved for the future.

After all, bringing them out now.

By the time of the end of the Qin, they might end up benefiting those rebellious remnants of the Six States.

But Zhao Feng did not know.

King Ying Zheng of Qin had already gone to his hometown and was with his mother.

Furthermore, he was unaware.

That he was not an ordinary commoner, but the eldest imperial son of a royal family.

...

Yong City Royal Palace!

"Has Zheng’er relaxed in these past days?"

When Ying Zheng returned, he naturally came to visit Empress Dowager Huayang.

"I haven’t been this relaxed in a long time." Ying Zheng smiled slightly, a rare smile appearing on his face.

"You are busy with state affairs every day, you indeed need to take a good break."

"After all, you have so many ministers, and quite a few can shoulder heavy responsibilities," said Empress Dowager Huayang.

"Grandmother is right." Ying Zheng nodded.

Empress Dowager Huayang wanted Ying Zheng to relax, but she had no idea how delighted Ying Zheng truly was inside.

He had long wished to find Efang.

He finally succeeded.

For him, it was more delightful than defeating the states of Zhao and Han.

"In a few days, it will be Grandmother’s birthday."

"After celebrating Grandmother’s birthday, I will return to Xianyang." Ying Zheng smiled.

"Zheng’er, you are thoughtful." Empress Dowager Huayang was also quite moved.

Since becoming empress dowager, initially, Empress Dowager Huayang had some ambitions, wanting to manipulate Ying Zheng’s father, Ying Yiren, but later was exposed.

Then she was stripped of her regency rights.

Afterward.

Ying Zheng did not harbor resentment because of that, instead treating her with filial respect and regard, this also meant Empress Dowager Huayang held no further grudges in her heart, allowing the Mi Clan to support him wholeheartedly.

As time went by.

After Empress Dowager Huayang’s birthday passed, Ying Zheng also returned to Xianyang as scheduled.

During this time, he visited Shaqiu once, unbeknownst to anyone.

However.

Far away in Yunzhong City, Zhao Feng received news.

"You say the Heibing Platform people visited the mansion?" Zhao Feng asked with some surprise, looking at Ying Bu.

"Reporting to the master."

"This was reported by Yanting Wuchang, who was protecting the old madam in the Shaqiu mansion," Ying Bu replied immediately.

"What did they come for?"

"Do you know?" Zhao Feng asked.

"The Heibing Platform stayed in the mansion for one night, then left; the next day, the madam said it was related to Doctor Xia," Ying Bu explained further.

Upon hearing this.

Zhao Feng realized and nodded.

"In this case, I am not surprised."

"Doctor Xia is indeed someone very important in the eyes of the King of Qin."

"It’s only right that the King of Qin sent people to inquire at the mansion," Zhao Feng said.

"The master’s words are indeed correct."

"The people from the Heibing Platform left after staying a night and did not leave anyone behind."

However.

"The housekeeper of the mansion, as well as some others, should also be people from the Heibing Platform," Ying Bu stated.

"The Heibing Platform penetrates everywhere."

"They naturally also monitor ministers on the court."

"I hold command of an army of 300,000; it would be strange if there were no Heibing Platform people in the mansion to monitor," Zhao Feng said calmly.

He naturally understood the meaning in Ying Bu’s words, whether or not to clear out these Heibing Platform people.

"The Heibingtai Anshi in the mansion need not be concerned with, let them lie low."

"Do not take action against them," Zhao Feng instructed Ying Bu.

"Understood," Ying Bu acknowledged respectfully.

"How goes the recruitment at Yanting?" Zhao Feng asked.

"The recruitment proceeds as it always has, but the age has dropped from twelve years old to below ten."

"Yanting has also taken in many abandoned infants, along with many whose parents couldn’t raise them, adopted by us at Yanting."

"These children will see the master as their rebirth parents, they will never betray," Ying Bu stated respectfully.

"I only have one point to make."

"It’s fine to raise them from infancy, but do not seize others’ children; do not take them by force."

"Anyone who violates this order shall be put to death," Zhao Feng declared coldly.

"Understood," Ying Bu nodded immediately.

...

The Qin Capital, Xianyang!

The Morning Discussion Hall!

"Ministers pay respects to the Great King."

All the civil and military officials held their court tablets aloft and called out in unison.

Ying Zheng raised his hand, exuding authority all over.

"Thank you, Great King."

All civil and military officials called out, then took their seats.

"If you have something to report, speak up; if not, dismiss the court."

Following the usual routine, Zhao Gao shouted loudly.

"Reporting to the Great King."

"A military report has been sent from Yunzhong City by General Zhao Feng."

"Since all surrendered soldiers have entered the camp, after nearly two months, the Wu’an Military Camp has been preliminarily reorganized and is now becoming familiar with our Qin battle formations."

"General Zhao Feng reports that soon they will form effective combat strength, ready to fight for the Qin," Yu Liao reported loudly, holding his court tablet up.

Upon hearing Zhao Feng’s name.

A gentle expression appeared in Ying Zheng’s eyes.

In the past, he esteemed Zhao Feng perhaps only as an elder would value a younger generation, but now, he esteemed him as his own son.

"Zhao Feng."

"I naturally believe he will not disappoint me," Ying Zheng said with a slight smile, praising him.

"The Wu’an Military Camp is now established."

"A camp in Zhao Territory is also set for defense."

"Great King, it is time to have the Lantian Camp return," Wang Wan stepped forward, loudly proposing.

"This old minister seconds the motion."

"The Lantian Camp has guarded Zhao for so long, it should indeed return," another minister supported.
