Ying Zheng arrived and was greeted by everyone.
Countless soldiers and generals shouted at this time:
"Greetings, my King!!"
"Greetings, my King!!"
"Greetings, my King!!"
Hundreds of thousands of troops bowed to Ying Zheng, their vast momentum shocking.
Even the Zhao nobles fell silent and bowed their heads.
They knew that not only did they lack Ying Zheng's power, but they were also prisoners in Ying Zheng's hands.
Whether they could truly survive depended on Ying Zheng's mood.
And at this moment, the King of Zhao was even more humble.
In front of everyone, he prostrated himself on the ground and kowtowed to Ying Zheng.
"Greetings, King of Qin!"
If it were in the past, he naturally would not have done so.
He was once the King of Zhao, the most powerful in Zhao.
All the people and generals of Zhao should have submitted to his feet.
In the past, he was majestic and no one dared to provoke him.
But now, he had lost this dignity.
He was a defeated king, and even his survival was due to Qin's mercy.
Under such circumstances, he naturally had to perform well and seek to save his own life in this manner.
It had to be said that he was very smart.
If he had resisted, Ying Zheng might have been somewhat interested in him.
But now that he no longer resisted, Ying Zheng had lost all interest in him.
"What a pity, you are not your father. Otherwise, your father kneeling at my feet would have been very interesting!"
Ying Zheng had suffered a lot of bullying when he was held hostage in Zhao.
Among them, the Zhao royal family bullied him the most.
The previous King of Zhao was one of them.
However, he died too quickly, so quickly that Ying Zheng lost interest in the current King of Zhao.
Therefore, after saying a word and seeing the King of Zhao kneel on the ground without backbone, he no longer paid attention to him.
Instead, he turned to another person, Li Mu.
At this time, although Li Mu's expression was still confident, he no longer had the arrogance of the past.
He was already a minister of a fallen kingdom, how could he still be arrogant.
More importantly, he had submitted.
He did not submit to Wang Jian or King Qin Ying Zheng, but to Lin Tian.
It was Lin Tian who saved his life and defeated him, so he was convinced by Lin Tian.
When Lin Tian wanted to subdue him, he hesitated for a long time before deciding to follow Lin Tian.
However, this kind of following was only following Lin Tian alone, not pledging allegiance to Qin.
In Li Mu's opinion, his submission to Lin Tian was a personal act.
If he submitted to Qin, it would mean that the entire Zhao had submitted.
This was not what Li Mu wanted to see.
Therefore, when Li Mu saw Ying Zheng, he did not offer much flattery and maintained his demeanor as a military general.
"You are Li Mu?"
"Yes!"
"Good. Indeed, you are a talented commander. Follow General Lin Tian well in the future!"
Many people thought that when Ying Zheng asked about Li Mu, he would definitely make things difficult for him.
After all, Li Mu only submitted to Lin Tian, not to Qin.
Such submission might not be accepted by a hegemon like Ying Zheng.
He would definitely question Li Mu and make him completely submit to Qin.
Who would have thought that the situation now was completely different from what they had expected.
Ying Zheng had no intention of making things difficult for Li Mu at all.
On the contrary, Ying Zheng highly approved of Li Mu submitting to Lin Tian.
This made many people unable to understand.
Why would Ying Zheng indulge Lin Tian so much? Was this Ying Zheng's favoritism towards Lin Tian?
Those who couldn't understand could only secretly warn themselves to make friends with Lin Tian in the future.
Because they all saw that Lin Tian was a favored figure in Ying Zheng's eyes.
Even a renowned talent like Li Mu could be allowed to stay by Lin Tian's side.
Such favoritism was unimaginable.
Meng Yi became even more certain that Lin Tian was Ying Zheng's son, otherwise Ying Zheng would not have acted this way.
Regardless of what these people guessed, Ying Zheng did not pay attention to them at this time.
He looked at Handan city with great emotion.
After revisiting the old place, he entered the former King of Zhao's palace.
At this time, he sat high on the throne, with the generals below, like a new court session.
Ying Zheng did not come here just to revisit old places.
He also came to bestow rewards upon everyone.
"The main force in attacking Zhao this time was General Wang Jian. General Wang Jian commanded efficiently and marched in an orderly fashion, laboring greatly."
"Therefore, General Wang Jian is enfeoffed as the Marquis of Wucheng of Great Qin, with an annual salary of nine hundred and fifty piculs, ninety-five qing of land, and ninety-five residences. He is appointed as the Grand General of Great Qin!"
Upon hearing such a reward, everyone was in an uproar.
Everyone looked at Wang Jian with envy and admiration.
Being enfeoffed as a marquis was the highest honor for generals of Great Qin.
Countless of them had fantasized about being enfeoffed as a marquis.
But today, when one person was truly enfeoffed as a marquis before their eyes, the feeling was completely different.
Even Wang Jian himself did not expect to receive such generous rewards.
Without any hesitation, Wang Jian immediately thanked him.
Then, everyone's gaze fell on Lin Tian again.
In the attack on Zhao, besides Wang Jian, Lin Tian's merit was the greatest.
The battles he fought were like myths.
So everyone was looking forward to what kind of reward Lin Tian would receive.
At this time, Ying Zheng also had no intention of delaying.
"In this attack on Zhao, General Lin Tian was resourceful and unparalleled in his bravery and wisdom, repeatedly creating mythical battles of defeating the many with the few, and his contributions were immense."
"Therefore, General Lin Tian is enfeoffed as the Commander of Chariots, with an annual salary of eight hundred and fifty dan, eighty-five qing of land, and eighty-five residences. He is appointed as the Grand General of Great Qin's attack on Yan, with the authority to command one hundred thousand troops and station them in Yanmen Commandery, ready to attack Yan at any time!"
Upon hearing such a reward, everyone gasped again.
The so-called Commander of Chariots was the head of the officials, one level above them, and the highest rank of the officials was the Grand Commander.
More importantly, the Commander of Chariots could be appointed as a Grand General.
A Grand General under twenty years old, who would not be amazed to see such a figure?
However, just when everyone thought Lin Tian's reward was over, Ying Zheng spoke again.
"I heard that General Lin's sword is extremely sharp, but it is covered with a layer of filth that affects its beauty!"
"Therefore, I have decided to personally wipe clean the sword in General Lin's hand!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was even more surprised.
Even Lin Tian himself had never expected Ying Zheng to say such words.
One had to know that the sword in Lin Tian's hand was the Tai'a sword, a symbol of imperial power.
Once it was wiped clean, it would be equivalent to making the Tai'a sword public.
Its impact was immeasurable.
But looking at Ying Zheng's current appearance, he was determined to make this matter public.
