Chapter 761 Ying Chengjiao Is on the Loose! Put Away Your Soft-Heartedness, Yan Dan Must Die!

The attention of the monarchs and ministers of Qin was completely taken away by the news of the demise of Zhao and the fall of Handan.

So much so that they ignored an extremely critical piece of information.

After Ying Chengyu captured Handan City, he handed over the important task of guarding Handan and collecting the old Zhao city to Wang Jian.

What about Ying Chengyu himself?

Wei Liao's words exploded in the imperial study room like a thunder, causing all the officials of Great Qin to start thinking about a serious question.

Ying Chengyu leads 180,000 soldiers and horses eastwards, what exactly is his intention?

Wei Xiang spoke in a difficult voice: "Mr. Chang'an, did you lead the troops to rescue Captain Meng?"

"After all, Prince Dan of Yan is leading his troops to storm Neihuang City, and Captain Meng also needs reinforcements from Lord Chang'an."

Han Cang also smiled with strong hope: "It must be so! It must be so!"

"It is a great joy to destroy Zhao in this battle. Lord Chang'an should withdraw his troops."

However, the erratic nature of Wei Zhuang and Han Cang's words made them unable to believe it.

Wang Wan quickly shouted: "Lieutenant General Meng Lang, continue to recite the military report!"

Meng Yi looked at the end of the bamboo slips and shook his head bitterly: "The military report has been recited."

"Chang'an Jun has not said where he wants to go."

The ministers couldn't help but feel a deep sense of fear in their hearts.

The worst happened.

Ying Cheng is out of control! ! !

Ying Zheng quickly picked up the bamboo tube again and poured out three bamboo pieces threaded together.

Picking up this letter from home, which was much thinner than before, three columns of familiar handwriting caught Ying Zheng's eyes.

[To my fellow soldiers! Give me food! I'm going to kill Yan Dan! (╬￣俣)】

[Put away your womanly kindness! Yan Dan must die! Convex(〝▼plate▼)】

[My brother said it! Zhao Guo can't stop me, brother, you can't stop me either! (╬◣д◢)】

There was no pleasantries, no good-humoring, and no explanation as to why Ying Chengyu had breached Handan City without any orders.

The end of each bamboo piece was carved with an angry expression by Ying Chengyu with a knife.

The three pieces of bamboo express only one thought:

Yan Dan must die! ! !

Ying Zheng's right hand subconsciously clenched the bamboo piece tightly, his eyes full of complexity.

When Yan Dan sent assassins to assassinate Ying Zheng, the officials persuaded Ying Zheng to be patient, and Ying Zheng himself chose to be patient.

All of this is a rational consideration for the country!

However, as soon as Ying Chengxuan got the news, he attacked Zhao State with extremely aggressive tactics, and even destroyed Zhao State in one battle!

Then he led his army towards Yan State without stopping at all!

Obviously, for Ying Chengyu, the great achievement that made the officials cheer for joy was just to remove the stumbling block on the road to revenge for Ying Zheng.

Ying Chengyu did not hesitate to fight against both countries, just to kill Yan Dan and avenge Ying Zheng's assassination.

All of these are sentimental actions for Ying Zheng!

Ying Zheng knew that the advice of his ministers was the right thing to do, and Ying Chengxuan's move was a big mistake.

But who can remain unmoved when their loved ones are risking their lives for themselves? !

"This Zhuzi actually said that I have the kindness of a woman? How can I have the kindness of a woman! I am afraid that this Zhuzi is the only one in the world who thinks that I have the kindness of a woman!"

While muttering, Ying Zheng carefully stuffed the family letter into his arms and hid it close to his heart.

Then Ying Zheng raised his head, faced the worried gazes of the ministers, and said in a deep voice: "The Lord of Chang'an marches eastward to kill Yan Dan for the formation, and to avenge his assassination for me!"

"The reason why Lord Chang'an defeated Zhao this time was also to attack Yan from the east and avenge me!"

The minds of the ministers were buzzing.

During the Warring States Period, wars continued. What kind of war situation did not occur?

But there has never been a battle situation in which one overlord has just been defeated, and then another overlord is attacked without any rest!

crazy!

absurd!

Outrageous!

But when he thought again that the general leading the army was Ying Chengyu, everything started to make sense again.

There's nothing Ying Chengyu can't do if he's out of control!

Chang Yun sighed with emotion: "In order to avenge the assassination of the king, he marched all the way eastward. He did not hesitate to attack and destroy Zhao State to avenge the king."

"Mr. Chang'an's love for your Majesty can really serve as an example for the children of the royal family!"

At that time, the Lord was still worried that Lord Chang'an would threaten the king's throne.

Now it seems that the Lord’s worries back then were so ridiculous!

Yang Hu excitedly waved his right fist: "Come on! Come on!"

"The State of Yan thinks that the State of Zhao is standing between Qin and Yan. Even if the State of Yan assassinates my king, we, the Qin State, will be helpless. The State of Yan, even more so, thinks that by allying with Zhao, it will not be afraid of the State of the Qin State, and it will do shameless things to the State of the Qin State!"

"I would like to see if the State of Yan can remain as shameless as ever, now that Zhao has been destroyed and Lord Chang'an has led his troops to march eastward!"

The frustration just now disappeared and was replaced by a deep sense of joy.

I am afraid that Yan Dan and Yan Wangxi, who were hiding behind Zhao and secretly rejoicing, never dreamed that Ying Chengyu would destroy Zhao in one battle and lead his troops to attack Yan in order to avenge Ying Zheng!

Yang Hu just wished he was not in Ying Chengyu's army and couldn't avenge Ying Zheng with Ying Chengyu!

However, Wei Liao looked miserable, crying and laughing loudly as he shouted: "Your Majesty, please resign!"

Ying Zheng hurriedly stood up and walked to Wei Liao, asking anxiously: "Why is the Lieutenant like this?"

Wei Liao shook his head repeatedly and shouted sadly: "This is the fourth time that I have completely changed the strategy I formulated. Four times!"

“There were dozens of minor changes!”

"For these military strategies, I have worked hard! My hair is gray in my prime!"

"Now, the fourth set of military strategies I formulated has become useless again before it has even been implemented!"

"I am useless to the Qin Dynasty and the king."

"I resign!"

Every strategy formulated by Wei Liao focuses on the situation in the world and is related to the overall strategy of the Qin Dynasty's national destiny, including military, diplomacy, internal affairs and other aspects, involving many things and having great relevance.

Every strategy requires Wei Liao to guarantee his life, and every strategy embodies all of Wei Liao's efforts!

But it has only been a few years since Wei Liao entered Qin?

Four strategies have been completely scrapped!

Wei Liao felt that if he continued like this, he would really be exhausted to death in the Qin Dynasty.

If Wei Liao could leave his name in history for some achievement after being exhausted to death, Wei Liao would also accept it.

But unfortunately, all the efforts Wei Liao spent turned into useless work.

Who can tolerate this!

After two breaths of silence, Ying Zheng spoke faintly: "If I remember correctly."

"Was it the lieutenant who advised the prince to go to war?"

Wei Liao:...

"Pa!"

Wei Liao slapped himself hard and cursed himself: "How stupid!"

From now on, no matter who the enemy is, no matter what the situation is, if I advise Chang'an Jun to go to war again, I will be a dog!

But, the future is the future.

As the person who recommended Ying Chengjiao to go to war, Wei Liao really couldn't resign from the court just because Ying Chengjiao, whom he recommended, won victory after victory.

Sighing deeply for his receding hairline, Wei Liao bowed his hands and said solemnly: "I advise you."

"Send an order to Chang'an Jun immediately!"

"Order Chang'an Jun to relieve the siege of Commandant Meng Wu and stay there!"

"Order Shangqing Jia to enter Yan and use Chang'an Jun's troops as a threat to force the King of Yan to seek peace!"

Wei Liao's voice was a little more sad: "Your Majesty!"

"With the power of my Great Qin, it is already extremely difficult to rule the land of the former Zhao."

"If you annex Yan land to Qin again, my Great Qin will perish in an instant!"

Listening to Wei Liao's call, many court officials nodded in agreement, but no one felt it was absurd.

All the officials of the Great Qin, including Wei Liao, seemed to have recognized a fact.

As long as Ying Chengjiao attacked Yan from the east, Yan would perish!

Ying Zheng shook his head: "My brother is so angry that he can't express it in words."

"This war may not take away territory, but my brother may not accept staying without fighting."

This is the first time that Ying Chengjiao has made such a firm, clear and unquestionable request to Ying Zheng, and his purpose is to avenge Ying Zheng.

How could Ying Zheng bear to refuse Ying Chengjiao!

Han Cang also trotted to Ying Zheng's side and hurriedly bowed: "Your Majesty! The granaries of the Qin Dynasty are all exhausted!"

"If Chang'an Jun's troops attack Yan State directly, my Qin Dynasty can only support Chang'an Jun's campaign for two months at most!"

Ying Zheng frowned slightly: "Didn't you say that Chang'an Jun could fight freely in this battle?"

Han Cang said bitterly: "Your Majesty, this is a big mistake!"

"I underestimated Chang'an Jun's ability and overestimated my ability!"

"I estimated the grain and grass based on Chang'an Jun's battle in Zhao. I really didn't think that Chang'an Jun would fight in Yan!"

Han Cang was full of relief.

After the advent of the Chang'an car, Han Cang thought that the national strength of the current Qin Dynasty was enough to support Ying Chengjiao to fight freely.

But who would have thought that Ying Chengjiao could fight all the way to Yan State without the order of "fighting freely" from the court!

If the court really passed Han Cang's advice at that time and ordered Ying Chengjiao to fight freely, who knows where Ying Chengjiao could fight in this battle!

Following Han Cang, Wang Wan, Wei Zhuang and all other court officials bowed their hands together: "I advise you to immediately order Chang'an Jun to stay in Neihuang and don't go any further!"

At this moment, the Qin Dynasty, which was praised by the world as a country of tigers and wolves, suddenly became a representative of peace.

All the war advocates who used to scream became firm peace advocates.

After a few breaths of silence, Ying Zheng spoke slowly: "I will avenge my vengeance!"

"But you cannot let my great Qin be in turmoil and the mountains and rivers unstable because of my vengeance!"

Hearing Ying Zheng's words, there was a clear exhalation in the imperial study.

Ying Zheng continued: "Pass on my order!"

"Order Shang Qing Yao Jia to immediately reenter Yan State and discuss the truce with the King of Yan."

"Order Shang Jiang Jian to focus on defending Handan and take Zhao's city walls as a minor matter. If you encounter a city that resists stubbornly, there is no need to attack it forcefully."

"Order Chang'an Jun to stay in Neihuang immediately. You can only stop the enemy in Neihuang and must not advance into Yan territory!"

"This order will be conveyed by Meng You Zhonglang Jiang himself! And Meng You Zhonglang Jiang will supervise Chang'an Jun on my behalf!"

Meng Yi bowed his hand in agreement.

Wei Liao, Wang Wan and other ministers bowed excitedly: "Your Majesty, you are wise!"

Although Ying Chengjiao had already run away, the ministers believed that Ying Zheng would be able to contain Ying Chengjiao's attack again!

However, what the ministers did not expect was that Ying Zheng continued to order: "Order the grain officials to immediately mobilize the granaries in Guandong and make every effort to supply food and grass to Chang'an Jun's troops."

"Order the troops of Li Xin, the deputy general, to immediately abandon Dai County and join forces with Chang'an Jun."

"Order Sichuan County (now Jiangsu, northern Anhui and southeastern Henan), Dang County, Huaiyang County, Yingchuan County, all able-bodied men aged 16 and above and under 50 to organize their troops and join Chang'an Jun as soon as possible!"

Wei Liao hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty!"

Ying Zheng said in a calm voice: "I can't let my brother go hungry!"

"I can't let my brother be bullied by the enemy general with a large army!"
