All Shen Bing has to do is wait. At this point, he doesn't need to do anything else.

Whether the Chu nobles surrendered or not, they did not pose much of a threat to the Qin army... Under the attack of Chu King Qi's army and the Qin army, the collapse of those nobles only took a matter of minutes.

However, Shen Bing still hoped that the Chu nobles would surrender, because it was impossible to retreat unscathed from any war, even if the Qin army had a strong advantage over the Chu army.

Soon Shen Bing knew that he had achieved his wish...

At that time, Shen Bing was discussing with Fusu how to build a new city.

There were so many Chu people that they could not accommodate even a single city.

At this time, there was a sudden burst of cheers outside the tent, and then a guard ran into the tent and reported:

"Vice general, the Chu army has surrendered, the Chu army has surrendered!"

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

"This is very good. If the Chu army surrenders, there will be no need to build a new city."

Fu Su raised his hands towards Shen Bing and said:

"Congratulations, Lieutenant General, for another great achievement."

"No, it should be said that it is another country."

Shen Bing replied:

"We rejoice together, and the young master also takes the greatest credit."

The two couldn't help but smile at each other.

Then there is the issue of receiving Chu Di.

Shen Bing left all this to his subordinates to complete.

Although Shen Bing also wanted to ride a tall horse and march majestically into the Chu city and plant the Qin flag at the top of the city.

The problem is that Shen Bing is afraid of death!

Who knows if the Chu army was pretending to surrender but actually wanted to kill Shen Bing?

Or is there someone with a grudge who is hiding in the dark and making secret arrows?

At this time, Shen Bing did not dare to belittle himself. After inventing many things and even forming an absolute advantage in terms of productivity, Shen Bing understood that in the eyes of the enemy, he was no less important than Yang Duanhe. He could even say that Shen Bing was not polite at all. Bing, the deputy general, is more important than Yang Duan and the coach.

Therefore, he, Shen Bing, will become the target of public criticism. If he does the thing of taking over the city when the situation is not yet stable... he is obviously seeking death.

It took the Qin army several days to march all the way to Dongting. During this period, the Qin army received a total of more than 200,000 troops from various nobles.

To the south from Dongting is the army of King Qi of Chu.

The Qin army stopped as ordered. Yang Duanhe and Chu Wang Qi simply said hello, and then Chu Wang Qi led his troops east.

They will follow Ying Zheng's orders and go north to Jinling, where they will join Xiang's army and garrison.

Thus the Chu State, the most vast country among the Seven Kingdoms, came to an end.

When Ying Zheng heard in Handan that the Qin army had successfully taken over Dongting, he couldn't help but laugh happily, and then asked Li Si:

"Prime Minister, the Chu Kingdom has fallen. What credit should Shen Bing take?"

Li Si looked at Zhao Gao who was standing next to Ying Zheng, and then replied:

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

Ying Zheng nodded:

"If you are promoted to the first level, you will become the Zuo Shuchang, and you will be the general of an army."

Li Si cupped his hands and said:

"With Shen Bing's talent, he can indeed become a general."

Ying Zheng saw something wrong with Li Si's expression, so he couldn't help but asked in confusion:

"Does the Prime Minister think it's inappropriate?"

Li Si looked panicked and replied:

"There are some things I don't know whether I should say or not..."

Ying Zheng said:

"speak."

Li Si replied:

"Your Majesty, Wang Jian's army has destroyed several countries since the defeat of Zhao."

"Although Yang Duanhe and Shen Bing are generals and deputy generals respectively, they are still Wang Jian's old troops."

"If we continue to attack Yan and destroy Qi, I'm afraid..."

Ying Zheng couldn't help but say "Oh" and nodded slightly to agree.

If you look at it from an outsider's point of view, it means that "the able ones live there" and whoever has the ability will get on.

But as a great king, Ying Zheng cannot do this in terms of power.

For example, Wang Jian has made such great achievements that even he, the king, is afraid... If one day Wang Jian rises up and says he wants to oust the emperor, Ying Zheng cannot guarantee how many of his old followers will follow Wang Jian.

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

However, Yang Duanhe and Shen Bing were Wang Jian's old subordinates. There was no big difference between their taking power and Wang Jian's taking power, and they would still pose a threat to the royal power.

If they are allowed to become more powerful... it will not be a good thing.

Another very important point is: the remaining two countries at this time are actually the Three Kingdoms, that is, Dai, Yan, and Qi, which are no longer worth mentioning. Then there is no need to rely on Yang Duanhe, Shen Bing, etc. What a powerful person.

This is what the idiom says: "The cunning rabbit dies and the lackey cooks."

Ying Zheng frowned and asked:

"For today's plan..."

Li Si suggested:

"Your Majesty, the Northland is the upper reaches of the Yellow River, which is of great importance."

"Although it is garrisoned by our troops, there are only a few thousand people there."

"This place used to be garrisoned by Li Mu to stop the Xiongnu."

"Now our army has no one who can stop the Xiongnu, and Shen Bing's divine warrior army..."

So Ying Zheng understood and asked Yang Duanhe to garrison in the south and Shen Bing to garrison in the north.

With the separation of the south and the north, it will be less easy to form cliques and pursue selfish interests.

Ying Zheng nodded and asked:

"Then who should be the general to conquer the Yan Dynasty?"

Li Si replied:

"I think General Mengwu is just right!"

Ying Zheng happened to be thinking of Meng Wu... Ying Zheng had previously intended to cultivate Meng Wu and use him to fight against Wang Jian, but Meng Wu failed to live up to his expectations.

The remaining few inconspicuous countries are almost given to him for upgrades. If he can't defeat Ying Zheng, there will be nothing he can do.

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

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

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

Shen Bing is Fusu's master. If Fusu becomes the king one day, everyone will know 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 a little too early to say this now.

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

As powerful ministers, they think about nothing 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 decided, Li Si still wanted to unify the Central Plains, so he did his best to govern.

After all, this could also bring credit to Li Si, so he climbed up to the position of prime minister step by step.

But at this time the overall situation has been decided... Then there is the issue of taking power, so he seems to be a different person and associates with Zhao Gao.

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

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

If Shen Bing is sent to the north far away from the Emperor, then Fusu, who has been trained beside Shen Bing, will naturally be "sent" as well.

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

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

The problem is that what they have to face now is Shen Bing.
