Chapter 744 Return to Handan City! A Curse in the Name of Peace Before the Battle!

April 12, the 14th year of the reign of Emperor Qin.

Su Jiao repeatedly ordered: "Speed ​​up! How can we be called elites when we are so procrastinating!"

"Quick! Everyone run!"

Peng Yue galloped back on his horse and said solemnly: "Captain Su, you can't speed up any more!"

"Otherwise, the Type B baggage truck may overturn!"

"I know that Captain Su is anxious, but no matter how anxious he is, we can't lose the big for the small!"

Su Jiao pursed his lips and stopped ordering the army to speed up. He just slapped the horse's back hard: "Hateful!"

"I failed to fulfill your Majesty's order and betrayed your Majesty's trust!"

After half a month of survival in the wild.

Three days ago, Su Jiao finally led his subordinates out of the dense forest and explored the surrounding areas of Wu'an City at night.

Su Jiao and Gua Fu personally led the elite of the army. Adhering to the belief that they would die, they were cautious, fearful, and took great pains to avoid many scouts. They tried their best to finally reach the gate of Wu'an City.

As a result, I looked up.

Oops!

Isn’t this the military flag of my Great Qin!

He captured another scout and prepared to gather information, but he held a torch and took a closer look.

Good guy!

This person is still Su Jiao's old subordinate Paoze!

Only then did Su Jiao know that Wu'an City, which their 30,000 soldiers and horses were ready to risk their lives to capture, had already fallen into Ying Chengyu's hands.

Ying Chengyu has even completed the reorganization of his army in Wu'an City, and has led the remaining soldiers and horses to continue to rush towards Handan City.

And they, who were supposed to take on the most arduous task in this battle, actually failed to catch up with the whole battle!

Peng Yue said helplessly: "Oh~ when I report this to the coach, the coach will forgive me."

"After all, we are already trying our best to move forward, and many soldiers even fall behind because they cannot keep up with the speed of our army."

"But who would have thought that the coach would attack so fast!"

It only took half a month to climb out of the Taihang Mountains and attack the hinterland of Zhao without alerting any Zhao army scouts. This was a surprise attack that would make any general boast about it for a lifetime!

Su Jiao Sanbu really tried his best.

But no matter what, Ying Chengyu is not a human being!

Su Jiao took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Your Majesty is brave and brave, which is no reason for us to slack off."

"Now I am afraid that you only have 70,000 to 80,000 troops on your side, but Handan City is by no means as easy to capture as Wu'an City."

"Your Majesty needs me to wait!"

"Pass the order."

"Your Majesty is very good at fighting quickly. If you don't want to attack for more than half a month without even getting first-level military merit, then cheer up and keep running!"

The military exploits achieved by the Pao Ze who stayed behind in Wu'an City made Su Jiao's three Qin troops jealous until their eyes turned red.

Su Jiao's threat made Su Jiao's three Qin troops as impatient as an old man and an old lady who heard that the free eggs were about to be used up.

More importantly, they knew very well that Su Jiao did not lie to them.

With the speed at which Ying Chengyu was running in this battle, if he had arrived too late, he might not even be able to take a bite of the leftovers!

For a time, the 30,000 Qin troops gathered all their strength and continued running with torches in hand even though the night was already dark.

With the whole army's efforts, Su Jiao's three troops finally joined forces with Ying Chengyu's troops smoothly the next morning!

But when Ying Chengyu appeared in front of Su Jiao again, Su Jiao, who was chasing him all the way, subconsciously slowed down. Like a child who made a mistake, he turned over and dismounted ten feet in front of Ying Chengyu, and moved to reach Ying Chengyu. In front of Cheng Xi, he lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty! Commander Su Jiao's command of 14,968 people has come to join forces."

"Our troops delayed for too long in the Taihang Mountains and failed to capture Wu'an City and cut off the Zhao army's supply line."

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

As he spoke, Su Jiao's cheeks turned red.

It has been several years since Su Jiao followed Ying Chengyu, and after many battles, this was the first time that Su Jiao failed to fulfill Ying Chengyu's order.

How could Su Jiao not be ashamed!

Seeing Su Jiao's appearance, Ying Chengyu also turned over and dismounted, spread his arms and patted Su Jiao's back forcefully, and said warmly: "The battle situation took a sudden turn, and a fighter jet suddenly appeared, so I made a temporary change in military strategy."

"How can you be punished for this?"

"According to my estimation, it will take two days for your troops to arrive at Handan City."

"Did your troops come here in a hurry, day and night?"

Su Jiao raised his head and said seriously: "Because of the slow speed, the military strategy was delayed. I will be ashamed in the end."

"You are outnumbered, so the general will come to your aid at full speed!"

Peng Yue also raised his hands solemnly: "In the battle of Handan City, our troops are willing to be the vanguard!"

Ying Chengyu also patted Peng Yue's arm vigorously and laughed loudly: "Well done!"

"After a fierce battle, there are only more than 70,000 combatable troops under my general's command."

"With this army alone, I am very worried about attacking Handan."

"Now that your two troops are here to help, I will feel at ease!"

Meng Tian glanced at Ying Chengyu speechlessly.

General, that's not what you said when you caught the Zhao army in the rear and chased it wildly, biting it while chasing him!

But after hearing what Ying Chengyu said, Su Jiao, Peng Yue and the 30,000 Qin army officers felt that Ying Chengyu really needed them.

All their hard work is worth it!

Su Jiao, Peng Yue, Gua Fu and all the soldiers behind them all raised their hands: "We are willing to die for the commander!"

Ying Chengyu laughed heartily: "With your help, our army will definitely win this battle!"

Then Ying Chengyu's face turned solemn and he said in a deep voice: "Our soldiers and horses have gone through the Second World War in Yangyi and Wu'an City, and most of the soldiers and horses that are still capable of fighting were injured."

"Although the troops of Captain Su Jiao and Captain Peng Yue have been rushing for more than half a month, they are not injured in the end."

"In this battle, Captain Su Jiao and Captain Peng Yue will be the main force of our army!"

As the personal soldiers spread Ying Chengjiao's words around, the 30,000 Qin soldiers who came in a hurry could not help but straighten their backs.

Serving as the main force not only means Ying Chengjiao's trust, but also means that they will have fat military merits to enjoy!

Ying Chengjiao continued to speak: "Order!"

"The baggage camp will cook immediately."

"Captain Su Jiao and Captain Peng Yue will set up camp immediately, rest immediately after eating, and recuperate well in preparation for the war."

"No mistakes!"

The 30,000 Qin soldiers bowed without hesitation: "Yes!"

With full of excitement, the 30,000 Qin soldiers set up camp on the spot and prepared to rest.

But Peng Yue did not leave, nor did Su Jiao. He said excitedly: "Your Majesty, although I have been rushing to help, I have been riding a warhorse most of the time and am not tired."

"I request to lead the troops to attack the city!"

Ying Chengjiao shook his head: "Be patient."

"If there is a choice, I hope to resolve this Qin-Zhao war peacefully."

Ying Chengjiao no longer cares about this Qin-Zhao war, nor does he care how much this war can weaken Zhao, and he is even willing to return some territory to Zhao.

At this moment, Ying Chengjiao has only one thought in his mind.

Immediately! Right now! Right now!

Tear open a road to kill Yan Dan!

Su Jiao was stunned: "Resolve the Qin-Zhao war peacefully?"

The Qin had already penetrated Zhao's defense line and surrounded Handan City.

Do we still need to resolve the Qin-Zhao war peacefully?

But Su Jiao understood immediately: "Your Majesty, do you want to answer before the battle?"

Ying Chengjiao smiled and nodded: "That's right!"

"I only hope that my eloquent tongue can persuade Zhao to borrow Qin's passage!"

Got it!

All understood!

Su Jiao didn't know whether Ying Chengjiao's tongue was three inches long or not.

Su Jiao only knew the result of Ying Chengjiao's answer before the battle every time!

Su Jiao immediately jumped on his horse and said: "I am willing to follow your Majesty and answer with you before the battle!"

Since Su Jiao was willing, Ying Chengjiao didn't refuse.

After getting on his horse, Ying Chengjiao shouted loudly: "My soldiers, listen to my orders! Follow me to the battle!"

Leading a group of family soldiers and Su Jiao, Ying Chengjiao drove his warhorse to the west gate of Zhaowang City and shouted loudly:

"The Great Qin Chang'an Lord, the commander of the Qin army, and Prince Chengjiao, please answer the king of Zhao in front of the battle!"

Behind Ying Chengjiao, a group of family soldiers shouted in unison:

"The Great Qin Chang'an Lord, the commander of the Qin army, and Prince Chengjiao, please answer the king of Zhao in front of the battle!"

The sound waves mixed by hundreds of people entered Zhaowang City, and it seemed that it did not cause any waves outside the city.

But inside Zhaowang City, it had already stirred up thousands of waves!

Zhao Wangqian swallowed hard, grasped Guo Kai's sleeves with his hands, and looked at Guo Kai with fear: "Qin Chang'an Jun called me to answer questions in front of the battle."

"Prime Minister! Prime Minister!"

"What should I do?"

It is rumored that Ying Chengjiao's answer in front of the battle has the power of ghosts and gods.

Zhao Wangyan died young because of his answer in front of Ying Chengjiao.

Guo Kai and the Queen Mother of Zhao have never corrected this rumor.

How can Zhao Wangqian not panic!

Zhao Yi said in a deep voice: "Qin Chang'an Jun is a great witch in the world, and his curse of 'answering in front of the battle' has never failed."

"I think that for the sake of the king's safety, the king must not answer Qin Chang'an Jun in front of the battle."

"The prime minister can answer Qin Chang'an Jun on behalf of the king to find out what Qin Chang'an Jun really wants to do."

Zhao Wangqian grabbed Guo Kai's sleeve with more force, looking at Guo Kai eagerly and calling: "Prime Minister!!"

Guo Kai cast a murderous look at Zhao Yi.

Let me find out what Qin Chang'an Jun wants to do?

I see that you clearly want me to die!

Guo Kai decisively counterattacked: "I am in charge of defending the city. I must observe the movements of the Qin army at any time and must not act rashly."

"I think Chunping Jun can answer on my behalf!"

Zhao Yi immediately shook his head: "What virtue and ability do I have to answer on behalf of the king!"

Guo Kai and Zhao Yi argued endlessly, and neither of them was willing to answer on behalf of Zhao Wangqian in front of the battle.

Ying Chengjiao outside the city was impatient and shouted again:

"Zhao Wang started the war lightly, causing the people of the two countries to suffer."

"I am here for peace!"

"Now that I am out with my army, is Zhao Wang still stubborn?"

"I only hope that Zhao Wang will talk to me in person about the truce and quickly return peace to the two countries!"

As soon as Ying Chengjiao's sincere words came out, it was like a cold wind blowing over the top of Zhao Wangcheng.

He is coming, he is coming.

He is coming with a peaceful negotiation!

Zhao Yi murmured in a lost voice: "The last person who was answered by Qin Chang'an Jun in the name of 'peace'."

"It should be Wu'an Jun, right?"

"According to the time, Wu'an Jun had already arrived in Handan two days ago."

"Where is Wu'an Jun?"

Guo Kai answered subconsciously: "Wu'an Jun has not returned yet, and there is no news at all!"

If it was an ordinary answer before the battle, Guo Kai would have dared to respond.

But the last time Ying Chengjiao answered Zhao Guo in the name of 'peace', Li Mu disappeared and was likely dead!

The last time Ying Chengjiao answered Zhao Guo in the name of 'peace', Zhao Wang Yan died!

Although all this seems to be a coincidence, when there are too many coincidences, who can not believe it?

Even if Guo Kai had the guts to do it, he would not dare to use his life to test the authenticity!

Zhao Wangqian's face was even paler, and his hands almost tore Guo Kai's sleeves, crying out in tears: "Prime Minister!!!"

Guo Kai shuddered in his heart and said solemnly: "I think that Qin Chang'an Jun's answer before the battle is a conspiracy."

"Don't pay attention to it!"

"Colleagues, open the armory immediately, distribute weapons, recruit all the able-bodied men in the city to guard the city, and recruit all the people in the city to transport supplies to the top of the city."

"No mistakes!"

Ying Chengjiao's request to answer before the battle seemed to have never happened.

All the ministers and generals of Zhao on the top of the city bowed their hands and took the order and left.

Even Zhao Yi had no objection!

Only Ying Chengjiao's eyes outside the city became more and more confused.
