The Eternal Beauty of the City of Wealth
Chapter 290 The Qin Army Arrives
After Ying Zheng destroyed the State of Qi and completed the unification of the country, he was about to order the army to move back to the capital.
Li Si came out and said, "Your Majesty, there is still one city in Qi that has not surrendered. This city is Fugui City."
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "I was just about to discuss this with you all."
"I heard that most of the nobles from the six kingdoms have fled to Fugui City. I wonder what Zixuan's intention is in taking them in?"
Li Si said, "Your Majesty, please send an envoy to Fugui City to announce the imperial edict and order Zixuan to open the city and surrender."
If Zixuan surrenders, it will prove that she is willing to submit to the Qin Dynasty. If Zixuan does not surrender, Your Majesty can send troops to attack her!"
Meng Tian also stepped out and bowed, "Your Majesty, I have heard that the wealth of Fugui City is unmatched by any other country."
"Even the wealth of the entire Great Qin is not even a fraction of the wealth of Fugui City."
"Well, I've heard about this a long time ago. I'll send an envoy to persuade them to surrender first. If that doesn't work, I'll raise an army to attack them!"
A month later, the envoy arrived in Fugui City, and Zilu ordered someone to summon him to the palace.
When the envoy saw that the person sitting on the high seat was not Zixuan, he said arrogantly:
"Who is sitting up there? Quickly get Zixuan out to receive the imperial edict!"
Zilu looked at him coldly, "I am Prince Lu, the Regent of Fugui City! Why didn't the Qin envoy show respect to me?"
The envoy sneered: "How dare you! Now Qi is destroyed!"
"Fugui City has also been incorporated into the territory of the Great Qin! You are just the lord of a mere city, how dare you claim to be king?"
"We have the King of Qin's imperial edict, ordering Zixuan to surrender the seal and open the city!"
"If the king is pleased, he may spare your lives! If you dare to disobey the king's order, I will send troops to exterminate the Zi clan!"
"Really? I'll see who dares!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zixuan walked out from the back steps: "Envoy Qin is so arrogant!"
"Who gave you the courage to yell in my council hall?"
The Qin envoy was stunned to see a young woman wearing a crown. He thought that this person must be Zixuan.
He immediately opened the imperial edict and shouted, "Zixuan, kneel down and listen to the edict!"
Zixuanli ignored him and continued to look at him with cold eyes.
Seeing that Zixuan did not kneel, the envoy shouted again: "Zixuan, why don't you kneel when you see Wang Zhao?"
"Haha! I kneel to heaven, earth, and my parents. Ying Zheng is your king, what does it have to do with me? Why should I kneel?"
"Zixuan! Qi is now destroyed! Your master, King Jian of Qi, has starved to death!"
"Fugui City used to be the territory of Qi, so it naturally became the territory of Qin! You, Zixuan, are also a minister of Qin!"
"Haha! Who would admit that my Fugui City is Qin territory? How could I submit to the King of Qin?"
"Don't even bother reading that crappy edict! Go back and tell Ying Zheng."
"My wealthy city does not belong to any country's territory. He calls himself a lonely person, and I call myself a widow!"
"From now on, don't interfere with each other! Don't try to scare me with the idea of sending troops to attack! I'm not one to be scared!"
"Zixuan! You will definitely regret your decision today!"
Zixuan glared at him, "You're not leaving yet? Come on! Beat the Qin envoy out of the palace with clubs!"
"Yes! Yes!" the guard agreed, fetched a stick, and beat the Qin envoy out.
The Qin envoy was hit by several sticks, and he grimaced in pain:
"Good boy, Xuan! Just wait! I'm going back to report to the king now!"
A month later, the envoy returned to Xianyang.
When the King of Qin and his ministers heard that Zixuan not only refused to surrender but also beat up the envoy, they were immediately furious.
Wang Jian came out and said, "Your Majesty! Zixuan is too arrogant! I am willing to lead the troops to Fugui City to exterminate the Zi clan!"
Ying Zheng slammed the table and stood up: "Approved!"
A month later, Wang Jian led 300,000 troops to the city of Fugui.
The subordinates looked at the tall city walls and couldn't help but grit their teeth:
"General! The walls of Fugui City are so tall, I'm afraid it will be difficult to attack."
Wang Jian waved his hand. "That's all right! I already knew the walls of Fugui City were high, and I've already had a ladder built."
"Set up camp today, rest tomorrow, and get up early the day after tomorrow to attack the city!"
In the Council Hall of the Fugui Palace, the ministers were discussing among themselves: "The Qin army has arrived, what should we do..."
"What are you afraid of?! We have millions of soldiers in Fugui City, and we are afraid of a mere 300,000 Qin troops..."
"Yes, yes, yes! Our king is blessed by the immortal master, and Fugui City will be safe and sound..."
Zixuan sat on the dragon throne, watching the ministers discuss, and thinking in his heart.
The Qin army of 300,000 came to attack the city. Although she was not afraid, she really didn't want these innocent soldiers to die.
We must find a win-win solution that does not harm the soldiers' lives while making them retreat voluntarily.
Zilu, who was standing aside, clasped his fists when he saw Zixuan remained silent. "Grandfather, how do you think we should resolve this matter?"
Zixuan looked down and said, "My dear ministers, do you have any good strategies for repelling the enemy?"
The military governor came out and said, "Your Majesty! Every gate of Fugui City is guarded by a million soldiers!"
"If the Qin army comes to attack the city, we can kill them all with a barrage of crossbows."
Zixuan shook his head: "I don't want the soldiers to die in vain!"
A civil official came out and said, "Your Majesty, why don't we obey the King of Qin and become his subjects?"
"Although Fugui City is tall and strong, it cannot hold out alone. I'm afraid it won't last long."
Zixuan looked at him coldly. He didn't expect that there would be surrenderists among his ministers.
No wonder, there hasn't been a war in Fugui City for more than 200 years.
These ministers have no idea about the combat effectiveness of the city defense army.
It has been so long since the last war, they certainly don't know how powerful the city defense army is.
Zilu glared at the minister angrily and said, "Surrender?"
"Haven't you heard what happened to those kings? Let's not talk about the distant past, just take King Jian of Qi for example!"
"The King of Qin promised him a fiefdom of 500 li! But didn't he starve to death when he finally got there?"
"This, this is due to my inconsiderateness. Please forgive me, Your Highness!"
Zilu waved his hand and said, "Forget it! Don't say such things again in the future!"
The minister nodded hurriedly: "Yes! I obey your command!"
Zixuan stood up and glanced at the ministers: "My dear ministers!"
"I already have a plan to repel the enemy, so don't worry!"
The ministers were delighted, knowing that the king had a plan to repel the enemy!
Who is the king? The king is an immortal god...
After the court meeting, the grandfather and grandson returned to the imperial study. Zilu asked, "Grandfather, do you have any plan to repel the enemy?"
Zixuan looked at him with a smile and put two fingers to his lips: "Shh... keep it a secret..."
That night, Zixuan teleported to the sky above the Qin army's rear granary.
Seeing that the lights below were bright and the granary was tightly guarded, teams of patrolmen walked back and forth around the granary holding torches.
I thought to myself, if I didn’t have the ability to teleport, I really wouldn’t be able to get close to here.
Thinking of this, she waved her little hand and said silently in her heart, collect!
Immediately, nearly 10 million kilograms of food and grass were stored in the space.
Because it was dark, the soldiers did not notice anything unusual.
I just felt a breeze blowing by, and everything calmed down in an instant.
