Chapter 922 Qi Is Ashamed to Be the Eastern Emperor of the World! What Kind of Internationalist Humanitarian Spirit Is This!

Ying Chengyu panicked.

Really panicked!

"Commander, our troops still haven't found the Qi army to send troops!"

Listening to the scout's report, Ying Chengyu shouted: "Expand the exploration range to thirty miles!"

"Probe again and report again!"

Then Ying Chengyu looked at the generals and asked in a deep voice: "Have all of your subordinates relaxed their hold on the Qi army?"

Li Xin, Su Jiao and other generals hurriedly handed over their hands: "The last general and all his troops have obeyed the order!"

Ying Chengxuan looked at Linzi City in the distance, hated it, slapped his horse on the back and yelled: "Why haven't you sent troops yet?"

"I have done the best I can do!"

"What else will Qi do to this general!!!"

If Ying Chengyu adopted Wang Ben's marching strategy in original history and went straight from Dukang to Linzi along the coast, then Ying Chengyu would only need to besiege Qiancheng and Bochang before he could reach Linzi.

However, Ying Chengyu chose a more difficult route. He entered the battlefield from Maiqiu City and led his army over large hills and swamps. He left behind troops to besiege eight cities, including Zhai, Gaowan, Qiancheng, and Bochang. Only then did he lead his army. One hundred thousand soldiers and horses arrived in Linzi City.

Not only that, Ying Chengyu also ordered all the scouts to let go of the Qi army's messengers and scouts, so that Qi could receive the news early and make preparations.

Seeing that Zhai and Qiancheng Zhucheng were reluctant to send messengers to Linzi City, Ying Chengyu even asked his soldiers from Qi State to disguise themselves as merchants and refugees and ran to the gate of Linzi City to make a noise, saying that they had seen the Qin army's movements. .

In Ying Chengyu's view, he has really gone to the limit, and is even suspected of being a traitor to the enemy!

As a result, Ying Chengyu has already rushed outside Linzi City, but Qi State still hasn't responded at all!

Ying Chengxuan was so angry: "Now that the army under my command has arrived fifteen miles outside Linzi City, why hasn't the Qi army set out to fight!"

“It’s just that the King of Qi has a brain disease, but all the remaining generals in Qi are suffering from brain disease and are blind?”

"Come!"

"Come and fight!"

"Pooh!"

"Qi is ashamed to be the Eastern Emperor of the world!"

Standing next to Ying Cheng, Zhao Gao was in a dilemma.

He should have persuaded Ying Chengyu not to get hot-blooded and destroy them all in one battle.

But every time Ying Chengyu released water, he would explain it carefully to Zhao Gao and ask Zhao Gao to record it in detail, so Zhao Gao knew very well that Ying Chengyu really tried his best.

Now facing Ying Chengyu who was in a furious state, Zhao Gao did not dare to say a single word. He just hunched his back and curled his legs slightly to reduce his presence as much as possible.

Weak.

Pitiful.

And helpless.

But Ying Chengyu had no intention of letting Zhao Gao go.

"Lieutenant General Zhao Lang!"

Hearing Ying Chengyu's call, Zhao Gao was excited and hurriedly handed over his hands: "I'm here!"

Ying Chengyu asked sincerely: "Has Lieutenant General Zhao written down all the general orders I have issued since Lieutenant General Zhao joined our army?"

Zhao Gao quickly replied: "I have written down everything, and there is no omission!"

Ying Chengyu nodded, looked at Zhao Gao more sincerely and asked, "I think Lieutenant General Zhao can understand my pain."

"Right?"

Zhao Gao once again handed over his hand and said extremely seriously: "I understand!"

"Not only the lower officials, but also all the superior officials in the court, after seeing Lord Chang'an's arrangements and the response of Qi State, will definitely feel the pain of Lord Chang'an who is dedicated to completing the king's order, but Qi State dares not cooperate at all!"

Ying Chengyu was really trying his best to leave a way for Qi to survive.

But Qi Guo is really uncooperative!

Ying Chengyu nodded happily, looked at Zhao Gao with sincere and kind eyes and asked: "If this general is misunderstood by the ministers in the court, will Lieutenant General Zhao Lang be able to speak out and argue for me generously?"

Zhao Gao said in a broken voice full of desire for survival: "This is natural!"

"I believe that the superior officials in the court will not misunderstand Lord Chang'an."

"If the superior officials in the court really misunderstand Lord Chang'an, the lower officials will definitely fight for Lord Chang'an even if they don't give up their crowns!"

"A general who resolutely carries out the king's orders and is loyal and patriotic like Lord Chang'an should not be misunderstood and slandered!"

Ying Chengyu nodded slightly: "In that case, I am relieved."

Ying Chengyu was relieved, Zhao Gaocai finally let out a fierce breath, and then asked carefully: "I dare to ask Chang'an Lord, if our army camped outside the city to rest for a day, wouldn't the people in the world doubt that I, the Qin Dynasty, destroyed the Qi Dynasty?" Determined?"

Ying Chengyu nodded slowly as he pondered: "If I take a day off, I think everyone in the world will understand."

Zhao Gao felt happy and hurriedly asked: "What about two days' rest, or even three days' rest?"

"Our army is here for an expedition, so it is natural for us to rest outside the city for two or three days!"

If you can rest for three days, you can rest for four days. If you can rest for four days, you can rest for five days.

Zhao Gao believed that the monarchs and ministers of Qi might not be that good at fighting, but they were definitely not blind. They could not fail to see the Qin army amassed outside the city, and they would definitely recall reinforcements.

As long as it delays long enough, the Qin army can wait until Qi's Gaotang soldiers and horses return for reinforcements, or even wait until Li Mu leads the coalition forces to return for reinforcements!

Facing an enemy that is several times stronger, it is really reasonable for Ying Chengyu to retreat with his troops!

However, Ying Chengyu shook his head helplessly: "Have Lieutenant General Zhao ever seen me fight such a protracted battle?"

"The weakness of the Qi State is well known throughout the world. When we were supposed to destroy Chu and Zhao, we did not rest outside Shouchun City and Handan City for three days. But when it was our turn to attack Linzi, we had to rest for three days?"

"Two days of rest outside the city is the limit of what I can do. One more day will make everyone in the world doubt my determination to destroy Qi!"

At this moment, Ying Chengyu deeply felt the burden of fame.

If it weren't for Ying Cheng's habit of loving quick wins, he wouldn't have been able to arouse the suspicion of everyone in the world by resting for a few more days.

Zhao Gao nodded with some regret and said: "It doesn't matter if it takes two days, there are still 30,000 Qi troops in Linzi City, and they will definitely be able to hold on for a long time."

"In this way, our army will hopefully be able to conquer all the king's orders!"

After Ying Chengyu was silent for a few breaths, he asked with curiosity in his eyes: "How can our army hope to conquer the king's order?"

In Ying Chengyu's view, Zhao Gao clearly wrote the word "explanation" and then directly gave the answer.

What about the intermediate steps?

Zhao Gao looked stunned and said matter-of-factly: "As long as our army does not attack Linzi City before Qi's reinforcements arrive at Linzi City, Qi will be able to hold on until the main force of the coalition arrives with the support of reinforcements."

"It is natural for our army to choose to defeat when faced with the main force of the coalition forces."

"In this way, our army will naturally have all the king's orders!"

Is it difficult?

The thirst for knowledge in Ying Chengxuan's eyes grew stronger: "How can our army not attack Linzi City before the Qi army's reinforcements arrive at Linzi City, and also make the world mistakenly think that our army really wants to destroy Qi?"

"Dare you ask Lieutenant General Zhao to teach me!"

Zhao Gao was stunned: "This..."

After hearing Ying Cheng's question, Zhao Gao finally realized that this was really difficult!

Imagine that Bai Qi led Wang Jian, Wang Jian, Yang Duanhe and other powerful generals and 100,000 elite soldiers to attack a city with only 30,000 weak brigades and low morale. As a result, he could not capture it for a long time.

Who believes it?

People in the world are not fools!

Zhao Gao said apologetically: "I am a low-ranking official, Shaolin!"

Ying Chengyu sighed softly, shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter, Doctor Zhao's strategy is meaningful, just make up for the key points."

Ying Chengyu turned his eyes behind him and asked sincerely: "Do you have any good advice?"

All the generals looked at each other, speechless.

Let Yang Wengzi answer this question. He may be able to give you an answer.

But we are all brave generals who charge into battle. We really don’t know how to do it!

Ying Chengyu had no choice but to bite the bullet and offer some advice: "I thought that I might be able to go out and invite King Qi to answer the question in front of the formation!"

"Then when I was answering in front of the battle, I cursed the King of Qi angrily, making the King of Qi and the soldiers of Qi State furious."

"While the Qi army's morale is rising due to rage, I will fake defeat and retreat!"

"What do you think this strategy is like?"

All the generals suddenly looked troubled, and Su Jiao had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "General, I think it would be better to find another strategy."

"Otherwise, Qi's defeat will be a foregone conclusion!"

Ying Chengyu was slightly stunned. Although he didn't think this strategy could really help him complete Da Qin's strategic plan, it wouldn't have the opposite effect!

Ying Chengyu asked in confusion: "Why did Lieutenant Su say this?"

After hesitating for a while, Su Jiao still whispered: "According to what the prisoners said, there are many rumors among the enemy today, saying that the commander-in-chief has the curse of answering in front of the formation, and anyone who answers to the commander in front of the formation will not end well!"

Ying Chengyu's eyes suddenly widened: "Slander! This is complete slander!"

"Have I ever had the curse of Lao Shizi's answer before the battle? Mr. Dai Wu'an has spoken with me in front of the battle many times. Isn't he still alive and well?!"

Su Jiao's voice was a little lower: "Jun Dai Wuan is indeed still alive, but Lord Zhao Wuan no longer exists."

Ying Cheng was dumbfounded and speechless!

It seems, really.

But the reason why they did not end well was because they were defeated by the general, not because of the curse that Lao Shizi answered in front of the formation!

If everyone in the world misunderstands me, how can I use my persuasive power?

Ying Chengyu, who suddenly found that his career as a lobbyist was almost cut off, felt a little discouraged and let out a soft sigh: "This general will definitely correct the prejudices of the people in the world!"

"Since the general's plan to invite King Qi to answer questions in front of the formation has failed, do you have any good advice?"

The top generals of the Qin Army gathered together and worked hard for the survival of Qi State.

The internationalist humanitarian spirit shines brightly over the Qin army!

As if dazzled by the light, Qi finally responded.

"Report!" A scout galloped back with a joyous face, and shouted: "Chunyu, the foreign minister of Qi, is coming towards our army with the tiger holding the festival!"

Ying Chengqiao suddenly showed ecstasy: "Good! Very good!"

"Hahaha~ I will say that Chunyu Hu is a gentleman. He will not be fooled by the rumors in the world and dare not answer questions in front of me."

"Everyone, follow me and go to the Qi army to answer the question!"

The opportunity to fulfill the king's order and correct the prejudice has come!

As long as Chunyu Hu and I answer each other in front of the formation, I will order the whole army not to kill Chunyu Hu, and then I will say a few kind words for Chunyu Hu in the court, and arrange a position for Chunyu Hu where he can retire in peace, so that Chunyu Hu can If you can live to old age safely, this rumor will be disproven!
