Zhao Ran, the chief concubine, retreated as instructed.

At this time, King Qin looked up at the ceiling of the handsome tent, and sighed for a long time: "I am really... ashamed of the ancestors of the Ying family..."

After a long sigh, he slowly closed his eyes.

That night, King Qin died in his commander's tent.

On September 21, the thirteenth year of Wei Zhaowu, the monarch of Qin died at the age of seventy-three.

After learning the bad news, the chief concubine Zhao Ran endured the sadness in his heart and ordered people to summon Gongsun Qi, the Marquis of Wuxin, and Wang Jian, the Marquis of Changxin. After describing the circumstances of the monarch's death, he told them: "The king is dying."

If there is a will, do not make it public, do not announce the funeral, and retreat slowly."

Gongsun Qi, the Marquis of Wuxin, and Ying Hua, the Lord of Weiyang, silently obeyed the order.

The next day, the Qin army slowly withdrew from the Western Plains of Linwei and retreated into Chongquan County.

After learning about this, King Zhao Run of Wei laughed heartily. At this time, he did not know that his father-in-law, King Qin, had passed away, and mistakenly thought that his father-in-law was finally willing to face the reality of the Qin army's defeat.

Because the Qin army retreated in an orderly manner, and their advance and retreat were orderly, Wei Wang Zhao Run and Le Yi did not give orders to pursue the victory, but ordered to reward the army to celebrate this difficult victory.

By the way, the soldiers were ordered to clean up the corpses on the Western Plains of Linwei. After all, there were as many as hundreds of thousands of corpses of the two soldiers on the battlefield. If left unchecked, a plague would occur soon.

While the Wei army was busy cleaning the battlefield, the chief concubine Zhao Ran and Weiyang Jun Ying Hua took the coffin of King Qin and returned to Xianyang day and night.

Seventy-eight days later, the eldest concubine Zhao Ran and the Weiyang lord Ying Hua returned to Xianyang to mourn the King of Qin, and immediately supported the crown prince Ying Sui to succeed him. In just a few days, everything needed for the succession ceremony was prepared.

On September 29, the thirteenth year of Wei Zhaowu, Prince Ying Sui of Qin succeeded to the throne and became the monarch of Qin.

During this period, the craftsmen of the Wei State in Xianyang City immediately sent the news back to their country and reported it to Wei King Zhao Run.

At the beginning of October, King Zhao Run of Wei learned that his father-in-law, Ying, had died. He stood blankly for a long time, feeling as if he was lost.

You must know that the King of Qin is also an elder he respects. If he had a choice, he would certainly hope to bring the King of Qin to Luoyang so that he could reunite with Ying Ying and his daughter.

The next day, when King Zhao Run of Wei told his generals the news, the generals of the Wei army were very excited. After all, Qin's ability to suppress Wei in the past was all due to King Qin's prestige in the minds of the Qin people. Now, this

The king of Qin has died, and the new king Ying Sui is obviously unable to convince the people. If we don't attack Qin now, when will we wait?

However, looking at the excited generals, Zhao Run felt inexplicably dull.

Therefore, he handed over the task of continuing to attack Qin to Sima An, appointed Sima An as the commander-in-chief, Huan Wang Zhao Xuan and Hedong Guard Wei Ji as deputy generals, Le Yi as military advisor and general, and continued to attack Qin.

And he himself led more than 20,000 Luoyang Imperial Guards back to Luoyang.

After Wei King Zhao Run left, Sima An was worried that Le Yi would be dissatisfied because he failed to get the position of coach, so he took the initiative to communicate with Le Yi: "Although His Majesty ordered me to be the commander, in fact, you are still in charge of military affairs...

"

Unexpectedly, Le Yi himself had figured it out a long time ago: "Your Majesty is worried that Le will be jealous of others because of his outstanding achievements. You will eventually understand."

Yes, the reason why Zhao Run appointed Sima An as the commander-in-chief of the crusade against Qin was actually just to protect Le Yi. After all, Le Yi had already accomplished the feat of overthrowing Qi and Yue. If Qin was overthrown again, although his merits would not outweigh him,

, but if Le Yi, as a surrendered general, has reached this point, he will inevitably be hostile to some people in Wei State.

In contrast, if Sima An was appointed as the commander-in-chief, Le Yi would also have contributed to the overthrow of Qin, but he would not be hostile to others.

In October of the thirteenth year of Wei Zhaowu, after Wei King Zhao Run led the imperial guards of Luoyang to return to the royal capital Luoyang, the Wei army on the battlefield in Hexi sent troops to attack Chongquan and Pinyang.

Gongsun, Marquis of Wuxin, fought and retreated, and finally retreated to Gaoling.

Since winter was approaching at this time, the war between Wei and Qin was temporarily suspended. Waiting until the spring of the following year, the Wei army continued to attack Qin.

In the fourteenth year of Wei Zhaowu, the Qin army was completely defeated because of the lack of food and grass. Wei generals Lian Pi defeated Yiqu, Shen and Wu Ji attacked Hanzhong, and Sima An and Le Yi attacked Gaoling.

By September of the fourteenth year of Wei Zhaowu's reign, the three Wei armies had gathered at the foot of Xianyang City, the capital of the King of Qin.
