Chapter 595 Is This What Ben Will Live to Hear? Please Come on More Business Trips Like This!

June 2.

Ying Chengjiao read the military report carefully, and couldn't help smiling.

A Qi warrior who lost his left arm stood in front of Ying Chengjiao, looked at Wang Jian and others and said excitedly: "In accordance with the order of the commander-in-chief, our troops were divided into five groups, cooperating with each other to disturb the enemy's rear."

"As of May 26, our troops have successively captured Yanling City and Lingfu City, and captured ten townships and twenty-four miles."

"While fighting along the way, our troops forced the officials of seven cities, more than thirty townships, and more than a hundred miles to order the people in the area to stop farming and hold weapons to wait."

"Attacked the Chu State grain transport team six times, burning more than 200,000 stones of Chu State grain and grass."

"Killed 143 officials at all levels of the enemy, 1,918 enemy guards, and 4,187 enemy regular soldiers , and seized more than 86,000 stones of grain and 27 kilograms of gold. "

"Two thousand five hundred and seventy-two of my comrades died in the battle, and 503 were seriously injured. The injured have returned to the camp with me."

As he spoke, the warrior suddenly raised his voice: "The tyranny and rudeness of the Chu State has long aroused public resentment!"

"After my army entered Chu, people from Chu joined our army one after another. The magistrates of Yanling County and Lingfu County led their family soldiers and servants and officials and generals in the city to join our army."

"Since the battle of Yanling County, our army has successively absorbed 5,293 soldiers!"

"We have lived up to the trust of the commander-in-chief!"

Listening to the words of this warrior, the generals of the Qin and Qi armies all widened their eyes.

When they heard about Ying Chengjiao's guerrilla strategy, no one was optimistic about this strategy.

Is it so easy to fight behind enemy lines?

Internal problems such as baggage, wounded, morale, language, routes, and external difficulties such as the enemy's encirclement and suppression would easily lead to the annihilation of this army!

It was only because of Ying Chengjiao's record of victory in every battle and his tough attitude that all the generals held back their advice and pessimistically waited for the bad news of the guerrilla force.

As a result, this guerrilla force not only did not suffer all casualties as they thought, but even achieved such a victory? !

It's outrageous!

Tian Zhen couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Not only did your army fulfill the commander's order, but even the number of troops increased?!"

The warrior smiled and said: "My army has indeed increased."

"When some members of the Jing clan fought against Jing Jia Duwei, most of them would surrender after the war and then join Jing Jia Duwei's army."

"Huang Jia Duwei, Deng Jia Duwei and Ge Jia Duwei are well-known in Chu. Our army has just fought a few tough battles, and there are bandits coming down the mountain and water bandits coming out of the water, and they actively join the three Duwei's army."

"If Peng Jia Duwei was not unwilling to absorb those who surrendered, our army would definitely have more troops than it is now!"

"In addition, most of our soldiers have replaced better armor and weapons, and the reserves of arrows and food are more than before the expedition!"

Listening to the warrior's words, Tian Zhen and other generals had empty eyes, as if they were listening to some Arabian Nights.

Not only did the number of troops increase, but even the armor and weapons were replaced with new ones, and there was no shortage of baggage and food.

Are you sure that your guerrilla troops went to the rear of Chu to fight guerrillas, rather than to the rear of Qin and Qi to enjoy themselves?

How come this scene of thousands of people eating and drinking makes it seem as if the rear of Chu has become our army's home ground!

The warriors looked at Ying Chengjiao excitedly: "To be honest, before our army went to war, many of our comrades were quite pessimistic about this battle."

"If we were not short of money, we would not be willing to follow this army deep into the heart of Chu."

"However, when our army went deep into the rear of Chu, we realized the wisdom of the commander!"

"This battle, our army will win!"

Ying Chengjiao's eyes finally moved away from the battle report, and greeted all the generals with a smile: "I also congratulate our soldiers!"

"The reason why this battle was successful is that our soldiers devoted their lives."

"If it were not for the calmness and rationality of generals such as Peng Jia Duwei, and if the guerrilla troops were not the most brave warriors of our army, my strategy would not only fail to succeed, but would also harm the lives of the soldiers."

"I am so lucky to have such a wise and brave general serving me!"

Ying Chengjiao was happy from the bottom of his heart.

Peng Yue's performance far exceeded Ying Chengjiao's expectations.

Jingpo's actions were even more unexpected to Ying Chengjiao.

Although Huang Kuang, Ge Ping, and Deng Ming's performances were not as good as Peng Yue and Jingpo, the three of them fully utilized their experience of fighting against officers and soldiers when they were bandits, and also performed in a way that surprised Ying Chengjiao.

For Ying Chengjiao, this battle not only dealt a heavy blow to the rear of the Chu State, but also gained four generals worth training for the Qin State!

As long as the Qin State has enough generals who can fight, is Ying Chengjiao still afraid that he will not have the opportunity to slack off?

The Qin and Qi generals didn't know what Ying Chengjiao was thinking. They just looked at the decision-maker who made the impossible possible and excitedly bowed: "Congratulations to the commander!"

"Our army will win!"

Ying Chengjiao smiled and continued: "Although the guerrilla warfare has not yet ended, the military merits gained in this battle have already met my wishes."

"All the wounded Qi soldiers who have returned to the army will be rewarded with 150 knife coins."

"All the wounded Qin soldiers who have returned to the army, those below the rank of Gongcheng will be promoted to the first level of nobility, and those above the rank of Gongcheng, I will write a military report today to request merits for them!"

"All these are just basic merits. After the military merits you have gained are verified by the military law officers, you will be rewarded separately."

"For the guerrilla soldiers who are still outside, I will also reward them according to their merits."

Anyway, the money awarded to the officers and soldiers of the Qi army was not provided by Da Qin, so Ying Chengyu would not feel sorry for him when he spent it.

As for the officers and soldiers of the Qin Army, Ying Chengyu even faced the military law officer's almost murderous gaze and offered him a first-class meritorious reward regardless of military merit.

Because in Ying Chengyu's view, they are worth it!

The warrior's eyes widened, and he held his hands in excitement: "I will take my place on behalf of everyone, thank you, coach!"

While the warriors were shouting, the hexagram master suddenly opened the tent curtain, walked quickly to Ying Chenglong's side, and whispered in a low voice: "There is someone holding the token of waiting to see you."

Ying Chengyu's eyes flashed, he supported the warrior with both hands, and said loudly: "The guerrilla troops have made great achievements, and they have also tied up the enemy's baggage line for our army."

"Deserves this reward."

"Second and third sons, let's go and rest first. After training, I will still be of great use!"

The warrior was so excited that he couldn't even speak. He just nodded repeatedly.

Ying Chengyu looked at the other generals again: "This victory of the guerrilla troops should be reported to the entire army."

"I also ask all generals to encourage our officers and men. I will reward my merits and punish my demerits. I will never treat any meritorious personnel badly!"

All Qin and Qi generals hurriedly raised their hands: "Wei!"

After handing over, all the Qin and Qi generals dispersed. Only Wang Jian still stood there with his eyes slightly closed, motionless as a mountain.

Only then did Ying Chengxuan command: "Please enter the account for those who are waiting!"

Soon, a familiar figure walked into the Chinese army tent led by Yafu.

Ying Chengqiao laughed heartily: "I heard that there are people who are waiting for me to come. I feel that I can meet my old friends today."

"really!"

"Mr. Jia, long time no see!"

Wang Jian raised his eyelids slightly and looked at the person, feeling a little curious in his heart.

Is this person the legendary Mr. Jia?

Zhuang Jia laughed and shook his head: "How can I, Mr. Jia, be a gentleman in front of a real gentleman?"

In last year's battle between Qin and Chu, Zhuang Jia and Ying Chengyu cooperated intensively.

Although the two did not meet in person many times, they did not feel strange at all when they met again after a year.

Ying Chengyu also smiled, raised his right hand, and greeted warmly: "Brother Zhuang, sit down."

"Guardian, go get a jar of good wine from this general's car!"

"Brother Zhuang is used to tasting the fine wines from the Qin Palace and the Chu Palace, and today he is here to taste the fine wines from the Qi Palace!"

Soon, the dishes and wine were served on the table.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while and paying homage to Zhuang Jia from a distance, Ying Chengxuan asked: "Brother Zhuang has come to our camp. Is he passing by?"

Zhuang Jia smiled and nodded: "Zhuang came here to steal the Qin army's intelligence."

"Pfft~~~" Wang Jian sprayed out a mist of wine from his mouth.

What did you say you were here for? !

"Ahem, cough, cough~" He coughed and wiped his mouth. Wang Jian's eyes widened, but he still waved his hands and said, "You continue, you continue."

Ying Chengyu ignored Wang Jian's gaffe, but looked at Zhuang Jia sincerely and persuaded: "Brother Zhuang, return to Qin!"

Zhuang Jia smiled: "When the King of Chu was in Qin, Zhuang served for him and won the trust of the King of Chu."

"Now that the King of Chu is in Chu, Zhuang has handed over all the candidates, intelligence and hidden clues of the King of Chu to the King of Chu, and gained the King of Chu's trust."

"Zhuang's situation is actually a bit safer than before."

After taking a deep look at Zhuang Jia, Ying Chengyu said in a deep voice: "This general will probably stay at the border for a while. Brother Zhuang, please remember that if you find anything wrong, come and find me immediately."

"As long as you arrive at my tent, I will keep you alive to accompany Marquis Wenxin!"

Zhuang Jia's heart felt warm and he held his hands solemnly: "Thank you very much!"

Ying Chengyu shook his head: "Brother Zhuang shouldn't be the one thanking me, but I should be the general thanking Brother Zhuang!"

"Brother Zhuang, just ask if you need any information."

"This general will speak his mind when he can, and he will feel free to speak frankly if there is any need for cooperation."

Zhuang Jia smiled and handed over a scroll of bamboo slips: "Here are all the things Zhuang wants to ask."

Wang Jian:? ? ?

Is this something that this general can live to hear? !

Looking at Ying Chengyu and then at Zhuang Jia, Wang Jian quietly stood up and was about to move out of the tent.

But just as Wang Jian took a small step, he heard Zhuang Jia continue: "Besides, there is another matter that I should report to Lord Chang'an."

"The King of Chu ordered Yan, the king of Zhu Shangzhu of Chu, to withdraw his troops immediately and retreat to the south of the Huaihe River."

Ying Chengyu opened the bamboo slips and looked at Zhuang Jia in surprise: "Is this happening?!"

"Doesn't that mean this battle is about to end?!"

"Ben will be going home soon!"

Ying Chengyu is so happy.

After only two months of business trip, I could go home happily with millions of stones of food.

This is so cool!

Ying Chengyu wouldn't mind doing this kind of business trip more often!

Zhuang Jia smiled noncommittally: "Chang'an Lord, why do you think King Chu ordered Zhuang to go to Xiapi?"
