Chapter 590 Reward Recovery Plan! What Bad Intentions Could Ying Chengyu Have?

Ying Chengyu did not answer Kuang Yong's question directly, but just led Kuang Yong and others out of the warehouse area and rode back to the military camp.

Before they even arrived at the military camp, shouts of death reached the ears of all the generals.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Kuang Yong was horrified and shouted: "Our army has no drills today! The whole army is on alert!"

Ying Chengyu waved his hand and said warmly: "No need to be nervous."

"This is our soldiers practicing on their own."

Kuang Yong looked at Ying Chengyu in disbelief: "How is that possible!"

Such uniform shouts of killing can definitely be produced by collective military formation exercises!

But Kuang Yong knew the temperament of Qi soldiers very well.

Let the soldiers of Qi fight against each other and hone their fighting skills, and they will be happy to do so.

But if they were asked to practice battlefield killing techniques in conjunction with Pao Ze, they would be extremely resistant.

How could a free ranger take the initiative to trap himself in a collective!

Moreover, the warriors in the army have already entered the stage of laziness and fishing, so they take the initiative to train more on their own?

How can it be!

However, what greeted Kuang Yong was Ying Chengxuan's gentle but firm gaze.

Kuang Yong remained silent and did not continue to argue with Ying Chengxuan. He just told his soldiers to stay alert and rush into the military camp at a faster speed.

Then, Kuang Yong actually saw an endless array of soldiers practicing in neat formations in the open space!

Kuang Yong was stunned on the spot and murmured in astonishment: "Today, it should be Xiu Mu's!"

"Warriors like Bi Yong actually take the initiative to practice?"

Tian Zhen also lost his voice and whispered: "Are these still my soldiers from Daqi!"

"After receiving such great achievements, you don't look lazy at all, but instead become more warlike?"

strangeness!

Everything in front of them made Kuang Yong and Tian Zhen feel extremely strange!

Ying Chengyu rode his horse and stood side by side with the two men. He smiled and said, "As I said, the people of Qi are brave and tenacious, but the army of Qi is weak and not good at fighting for a long time."

"In my opinion, a large part of the reason is that the Qi Army soldiers have earned enough, and the subsequent benefits are not enough to induce the Qi Army soldiers to continue fighting bravely."

"In this regard, we will have two strategies: upper and lower."

"The best policy is to reform like my country, Great Qin, and reward the officers with titles."

"The next best thing is to use various methods to recover the rewards of the soldiers as soon as possible as we are doing now."

"With empty waists, they will naturally return to the state of being happy when they hear the battle."

"Because they have enjoyed the happiness that money can bring them, the soldiers' horizons will be broadened, and their demand for money will also increase sharply."

"Soldiers will even become more warlike because of this, and the disadvantages of not enduring the war will be solved."

"This strategy will be called the reward recovery plan!"

Tian Zhen and Kuang Yong were both stunned.

The Qi army was unwilling to fight to the death because they had too much money.

Then take away all the money from Qi Jun's waist, and use more temptations to lure Qi Jun. Qi Jun will naturally return to the state of daring to fight to the death.

The way to make the Qi army dare to fight is so simple!

Tian Zhen suddenly looked at Ying Chengyu, his eyes full of admiration: "This reward recovery plan can not only solve the problem of our army's protracted war, but also help us circulate money and help the court collect more taxes."

"It will be of great benefit to the country and the army!"

"How can this be the worst policy?"

"This is the best policy!"

"This policy of Prime Minister Zuo is the best solution to the centuries-old illness of our Daqi!"

"On behalf of the great Qi, I would like to express my gratitude to the left prime minister!"

The biggest advantage of Ying Chengxuan's strategy is that not only will it not harm the interests of the powerful group, but it will actually benefit the powerful group!

This resulted in Ying Chengyu's policy being almost unimpeded and easily accepted by the entire Qi State and made a routine practice.

When he thought that the Qi army would be able to correct the shortcomings of the protracted war from now on, Tian Zhen bowed his hands in gratitude!

Kuang Yong also praised with emotion: "It's the lower official who misunderstood the left prime minister."

"No general has ever thought of finding ways to improve morale in the military market, but the coach has solved the puzzle!"

"Left Prime Minister, a great talent!"

But Kuang Yong had some hidden worries in his heart.

Although Ying Chengxuan is now the left prime minister of Qi State, Kuang Yong knows very well that Ying Chengxuan is just a temporary worker who was 'bought' by Qi State with grain.

As a temporary worker, would Ying Chengxuan really think so hard for Qi State, or even offer such good advice to Qi State?

Ying Chengyu hurriedly returned the gift with his hands raised: "I dare not accept such high praise from you all."

"This policy is indeed a bad one."

"The Master said: A gentleman is a metaphor for righteousness, a villain is a metaphor for benefit."

"The army will be run with heavy rewards and heavy punishments, and it will lead the entire army to focus on profit over justice. It will also encourage extravagance in the army. It may cause the entire army to compete for profits, and even forget justice when seeing profits!"

"This strategy is actually a last resort that must be used in order to win. It is definitely not a long-term strategy!"

The frowns on Qi Diaoli and other scholars' frowns relaxed.

Although Ying Chengxuan is indeed promoting the trend of focusing on profit over justice, which is contrary to Confucianism.

But as Ying Chengxuan said, Ying Chengxuan had no choice, and Ying Chengxuan also realized his mistake.

The hidden worries in Kuang Yong's heart also dissipated.

Ying Chengyu even made the shortcomings of this strategy so clear.

What bad intentions could Ying Chengyu have!

Kuang Yong suddenly raised his hand and said, "I'd like to thank you, Prime Minister!"

Qi Diaoli and other great scholars also handed over their hands with emotion: "Prime Minister Zuo, you are indeed a true gentleman!"

Ying Chengqiao smiled and returned the courtesy: "Thank you for your understanding."

"If you have time, please kindly inspect the army on my behalf, so as not to cause chaos due to the emphasis on profit over righteousness!"

The lacquer carving ceremony and other great scholars shouted arrogantly: "I have my wish, but I don't dare to ask my ears!"

All the officials and Confucian scholars scattered out in high spirits.

However, Ying Chengyu suppressed his smile and looked at Wang Jian: "The general must have clearly seen what kind of environment we are facing and the shortcomings of this strategy."

"The time left for us is running out!"

"General, I'd like to trouble you to increase the intensity of harassment and promote a decisive battle as soon as possible!"

Wang Jian:......

No!

I can't see clearly!

Who told you that Ben would be able to see through your strategy!

But facing Ying Chengyu's determined gaze, Wang Jian could only lament in his heart.

It is not a wise choice to continue pretending to be crazy when Ying Chengxuan has made a firm judgment.

Wang Jian simply stopped pretending and said with a tut, "If the State of Qi learns that the cost of inviting Lord Chang'an to become Qi's commander is so high, I'm afraid the State of Qi will never have the slightest idea of ​​inviting Lord Chang'an to become Qi's left prime minister!"

"This battle will probably be Qi's final glory~"

The interests of the military market can temporarily satisfy the appetites of Qi's nobles, and Ying Chengyu can also suppress the Qi nobles for a while with his strong tactics.

But the money in the waists of the soldiers was almost drained, and Ying Chengyu could only suppress the dignitaries of Qi for a while.

Faced with the temptation of double, tenfold or even a hundredfold benefits, there will definitely be Qi dignitaries who will risk their lives to reach into the army.

While draining the last drop of blood of the soldiers, they also drained the last drop of money from the soldiers, and even made the soldiers bear high loans even if they died fighting for the country, leaving them to be repaid by their families!

If things go on like this, frustration will hang over the entire army, and soldiers are likely to do extreme things for money.

Once someone wakes them up, the officers and soldiers in the army are likely to become very angry!

Therefore, Ying Chengyu must complete this battle before the powerful people of Qi show their fangs.

But even if Ying Chengyu can end the battle in time and escape safely, Wang Jian can be sure.

When Qi State fights again in the future, there is a high probability that Qi State will replicate Ying Chengyu's military market and squeeze out all the soldiers with great fanfare!

Ying Chengyu smiled softly: "How can Qi Guo see it? So what if he can't see it?"

"This general has finally found a way to run the army for Qi."

"Even though all the dignitaries of Qi can see it clearly, they still have to thank us!"

"As for the chaos caused by the weakness of the King of Qi and the greed of the people of Qi?"

"What does this have to do with me, general!"

Wang Jian and Ying Chengyu looked at each other and smiled, then changed the subject: "The State of Chu Shangzhu is by no means an easy person."

"Harassment alone may not achieve the coach's wishes."

Ying Chengyu nodded slightly: "So I have ordered Captain Mengtian to lead 80,000 troops eastward to Pengcheng!"

Wang Jian's eyes narrowed, but he still shook his head: "It's still unstable."

Ying Chengyu turned his gaze behind him: "The two to five hundred masters are Deng Ming, Ge Ping, Huang Kuang, Peng Yue, and Jingpo."

"Come forward and obey the order!"

The five people in Jingpo looked a little stunned, but they still came out immediately.

Ying Chengyu looked at the five people with a deep look, and said in a deep voice: "I have an important task to entrust to you all!"

…

Five days later.

The north wall of Xiapi City.

The messengers ran up the city wall one after another:

"Report! The main force of the Qin-Qi coalition army has passed Changcheng, and it is only thirty miles away from Xiapi City!"

"Urgent report from Pengcheng! The Qin-Qi coalition forces have sent 80,000 troops to attack Pengcheng! The Duke of Pengcheng County begs Shangzhu to send troops for reinforcements!"

"Report! The 20,000 Qin-Qi coalition troops have bypassed Xiapi City from the east and are marching towards Gaoping!"

Listening to the shouts of a famous messenger and looking at the Qin and Qi coalition forces who took the initiative to form formations and harassed them in the northwest of Xiapi City, Xiang Yan frowned deeply: "This battle has lasted so long, and the Qi army is still here. So dare to fight?"

The Qi army in front of me is completely different from the Qi army in Xiang Yan's impression!

After having been fighting for a long time and having gained a lot of military success, these Qin-Qi coalition forces still maintained a high desire to fight.

If he hadn't known that Qin would not be able to send heavy troops to reinforce Qi, Xiang Yan would have even suspected that the soldiers and horses outside Xiapi City in front of him were all elite soldiers of the Qin army!

A candidate ran up the city wall and whispered to Xiang Yan's side: "Report to Shangzhu Kingdom, my subordinates will find out."

"Qin Chang'an Jun massively renovated the military market accompanying the Qin-Qi coalition forces, and asked the King of Qi to order all the wealthy merchants in Qi to garrison in the military market. He also used the spoils from the Battle of Judu in exchange for these merchants selling houses, fields, armor, and servants at low prices. ”

After Xiang Yan thought for a moment, his eyes showed surprise: "How could Lord Qin Chang'an do such a thing of drinking poison to quench his thirst!"

Qu Huan thought thoughtfully: "Qin Chang'an Lord also knows that the Qi army cannot fight for a long time."

"Does Lord Qin Chang'an intend to use this strategy to motivate the Qi army, stimulate the Qi army's desire to fight, and then directly launch a decisive battle against our army?"

Xiang Yan tapped the bricks of the city wall with his fingers: "Qin Chang'an would not have thought of the shortcomings of this strategy, let alone the general's avoidance of war."

"Of course, what Vice General Qu said cannot be ignored."

"Instruct the entire army to be on strict alert!"

"Instruct all generals not to take the initiative to fight without orders!"

"The number of scouts will be doubled again, and the movements of the Qin and Qi coalition forces will be strictly investigated."

After a pause, Xiang Yan continued to give the order: "Ask Lieutenant General Jing Chou to lead another fifty thousand troops to reinforce Pengcheng!"

All the generals immediately raised their hands: "Wei!"

Xiang Yan took a step forward, looked towards the north, and murmured softly: "In order to win, I will not hesitate to be a shrinking old turtle!"
