Chapter 735: The hostage returns to the country, Zhao State seeks its own death

At that time, Zhao State.

The 4-year-old Qin Shi Huang was a hostage and almost died here.

He was pressed hard into a water tank by two jailers. When he was on the verge of death, he suddenly entered the dream of his great-grandfather Yingji.

He walked towards the Zhangtai Palace as if he didn't recognize any of his relatives, and the great-grandfather and grandson didn't know each other.

Yingji asked him, "Whose family are you from?

"win!"

Little Ying Zheng answered clearly and concisely.

When Yingji heard that he called himself Ying, he called him forward.

Ying Zheng touched his grandfather's crown and asked, "What is this?"

"This is the crown." Yingji replied.

Then, Ying Zheng's conversation was unexpected again.

"I want one that's bigger than this one."

Generally speaking, the princes wore crowns with nine tassels, and the larger one was the emperor's crown with twelve tassels. It can be seen that young Ying Zheng showed his ambition to unify the world at a young age.

When the old King of Qin woke up, he felt that his dream had a clue to something, so he quickly summoned the fortune teller to come in and question him.

Based on the dream and astronomical phenomena, the diviner deduced that the Qin State was strong and had the potential to become an emperor.

Taishi Dan's prophecy made a hundred years ago is about to come true.

Yingji was relieved after hearing this and said joyfully, "The one who will unite the world will be the descendant of my family, the Ying family. The Qin State will conquer the world!!!"

When the old King Qin learned that this person had already been born, he was overjoyed.

At the same time, Zhao Ji mistakenly thought that Ying Zheng was dead, and walked out of the prison in a daze, holding her son. Coincidentally, Zhao Sheng came to pick up Zhao Ji and her son.

He originally planned to let Ying Zheng and his mother live in Handan so that Qin would have no excuse to attack Zhao and it could also be used in the future.

He never expected such an accident to happen, which really made him heartbroken.

Zhao Ji knelt in front of her son in despair, but when Shen Yue arrived, she found out that Ying Zheng had faked his death.

Shen Yue used cardiopulmonary resuscitation, patting his back and draining water to save the still-breathing little Ying Zheng.

In a blink of an eye, five years passed. The old King of Qin became increasingly weak. When he was dying, news of Ying Zhu and his son came.

Looking back, I have been the King of Qin for 56 years and have fought wars all my life, but I have not yet destroyed a country, let alone unified the world.

Yingji said to them, "Tell your son, and your son, and tell all the descendants of the Ying family, that the men of the Qin Dynasty should not forget to go east and rebuild the Qin Dynasty to unify the world."

The old King of Qin's lifelong wish was to unify the world.

He mentioned the dream prophecy five years ago and asked Ying Zhu if he had any children under the age of twenty.

Ying Zhu's youngest son had already grown up. Looking at all his descendants, he did not find what the little boy saw in his dream.

When the old King of Qin was disappointed, Zichu brought him good news.

"Zi Chu has a son, he should be around this age."

Yingji was very excited and asked, "Where is it?"

Zichu then talked about how Ying Zheng was born to a Zhao woman in Handan when he was a hostage in Zhao. He had no choice but to leave the mother and son in Handan.

Ying Ji became even more excited when he heard this: "Handan is in the northeast of the Great Qin State. Send someone to bring Ying Zheng back to Xianyang as soon as possible."

In the autumn of 251 BC, King Yingji of Qin, who had reigned for 56 years, died at the age of 75. He was posthumously named Zhaoxiang.

During the reign of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, the territory of Qin was greatly expanded and the national strength of Qin was enhanced.

This made Qin the most powerful country in the Warring States Period and laid a comprehensive foundation for Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng to unify the world.

The death of the so-called greatest devil in the Warring States Period was a great joy to the six states in Shandong.

"Dead, hahahaha, the old thief is dead!"

King Zhao was ecstatic when he learned of Yingji's death.

"Taking advantage of the chaos in Qin, our Zhao army will surely be able to break through Hangu Pass and march straight into Xianyang."

King Zhaoxiang of Qin passed away. Upon hearing the news, King Zhao was extremely excited.

Ever since the Battle of Changping between Qin and Zhao, when Bai Qi buried and buried 40 Zhao soldiers, the State of Zhao was devastated and declined.

King Zhao wanted to take advantage of the change of power in Qin to send troops to take back all the land that Qin had seized and avenge the previous humiliation.

Zhao Sheng tried to dissuade him, saying, "Although the old King of Qin is dead, his million-strong army and powerful generals are still here. If we suddenly attack, we might cause trouble."

However, King Zhao had made up his mind and refused to listen to his uncle's advice.

Lian Po believed that this was indeed a good time to attack Qin.

King Zhao was blinded by his imagined victory.

"If Zhao can seize this opportunity and defeat Qin in one fell swoop, then our great Zhao will become the most powerful nation in the world. From then on, Qin will become like the other five nations, retreating to a corner."

But Lian Po immediately poured a basin of cold water on King Zhao.

"To defeat Qin, we need a million soldiers to attack from multiple directions, so that Qin cannot support itself from both ends. Only by maintaining sufficient strength can we break through the Qin's defenses. But Zhao does not even have a million soldiers."

The King of Zhao wanted to form an alliance with the five countries again. The previous alliances seemed to be going smoothly, but in fact, the six countries each had their own selfish motives and did not cause serious damage to Qin.

Instead, the Qin State seized the opportunity and defeated them in one blow. The coalition attack on Qin was not as good as a single country's all-out attack.

King Zhao hated Qin so much that he did not want to miss the opportunity and wanted to skin Qin's tigers and wolves before his death. He insisted on sending Lian Po to mobilize troops and food to the border between Qin and Zhao.

Lü Buwei's spies in Handan reported that Zhao State was taking advantage of Qin State's mourning to launch an offensive. He immediately came up with a countermeasure and used the Yan-made staff to make Yan State send troops.

Zhao would certainly send troops to defend against Yan, and all Qin had to do was send envoys to persuade the King of Yan, and the enemy could be repelled without losing a single soldier.

Zichu copied Lu Buwei's strategy and presented it to Ying Zhu, but Meng Ao volunteered to lead the army to fight the enemy.

But because the matter concerned the survival of the Qin State, Ying Zhu thought about it again and again.

In the end, it was decided to use Lu Buwei's strategy and appointed Lu Buwei as the prince's tutor.

Lao Lu was originally a businessman, but he had political acumen.

Now that he had ascended to an official position due to his own talent, he was so excited that he couldn't find the door when he tried to leave, and was finally taken out by the servants.

Qin envoy Yao Jia arrived in Yan State, explained his purpose, and negotiated the Qin-Yan alliance.

Yan State was already at odds with Zhao State, and Yan State's Prime Minister Li Fu followed orders and sent 60 troops to attack Zhao State.

At the same time, Lü Buwei ordered his men in Handan to spread the rumor that the Crown Prince of Qin was planning to lead 500,000 troops to join forces with Yan to attack Zhao in order to bring back his wife and children.

As expected, once the news came out, it quickly reached the ears of King Zhao.

The King of Zhao disagreed: "Lian Po is already recruiting troops, and provisions are on the way to the western border. The attack on Qin is inevitable, and my resolve will never waver."

Not long after, King Zhao received an urgent report from a spy.

It was learned that Li Fu led 40 troops to attack Hao, and Qing Qin led 20 troops to attack Dai.

These two places were important locations that King Wuling of the Han Dynasty had spent a lot of effort to obtain. If they were lost, the State of Zhao would probably be in danger.

Now that the arrow is on the string, King Zhao has no place to vent his anger and can only compromise.

He forced himself to hold back his tears and had to order Lian Po to rush to the eastern border to reinforce the troops with Le Cheng to fight against the Yan army.

King Zhao then asked Zhao Sheng to personally escort Zhao Ji and her son to Xianyang.

"Uncle, please rush to Xianyang as soon as possible to stabilize the Qin State."
