My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 449 is here! This general has no intention of attacking Helu City!

Ying Zheng is in a hurry!

Without enough time to wait for the final outcome of the negotiation, the first batch of messengers had already rushed out of Xianyang City with Ying Zheng's order!

But at the same time, the monarchs and ministers of Great Qin were discussing matters in the imperial study.

Four miles northwest of Helu City is Baiyao Mountain.

On the top of the mountain, Wang Jian stood on horseback, his eyelids trembling.

If Wang Jian remembers correctly, at the beginning of this war, Zhao and Chu were trying to use the war to force Qin to divert its young men, disrupt Qin's autumn harvest, and reduce Qin's grain reserves.

This is just a harassing war that serves politics and should end quickly after the autumn harvest.

However, the tragic defeat in the Taihang Mountains in the north and the great victory in the Dahongshan Mountains in the south suddenly brought the intensity of the war to a higher level.

Ying Chengyu's behavior of garrisoning Echeng and blocking Xiang Yan's troops' retreat forced Qin and Chu to continue fighting, which in turn forced Zhao to continue to help Chu in the north to contain Qin's forces.

The war has developed to this point, and in the anticipation of war among the three kingdoms of Qin, Zhao, and Chu, this war is still just a local war that serves political purposes and involves the enemy's national power.

As long as the king doesn't let me kill the King of Chu, even if the King of Chu stretches his neck to my sword now, I can't kill him!

"If we include the detours, interludes, etc., the battle between the two of us will have covered four thousand miles!"

Who said that he would break through Helu City and make Chu State pay the price with blood?

Look at your record of attacking the enemy's capital one after another, conquering and destroying the enemy's country, and your past victory over Shouchun City.

How could Ben have such terrible thoughts!

Yes, it’s coming!

From Xianyang City to Helu City, the Qin army almost crossed the entire China!

"You can't give up a great military exploit and a free city, right?"

"After all, the military strategy agreed before the war was to fight back the enemy and try our best to seize food and grass."

"Our army has not yet received the military order from the imperial court. How about heading north first and resting the army while waiting for the imperial court order?"

Half of the territory of Chu State has been penetrated by the Qin army!

Wang Jian sighed with emotion: "I never thought before I went on the expedition that I would be able to see Helu City in this battle!"

Obviously, Wang Jian and Xiang Yan can play the health care game in Chencheng, and then they can call it a day and go home.

"The king has never issued an order to attack the capital of Chu. Even if our troops have arrived at Helu City, we should wait for the king's order before making a decision!"

"Now the remnants of the Chu army have fled into Helu City."

"Of course, it's here!"

Look at the rebel army under your command, with their eyes red and howling in pursuit.

If you don't do something, it won't be in vain...

Moreover, Wang Jian is a famous general, and Ying Chengyu is not so arrogant that he doesn't care about Wang Jian's persuasion at all.

"Our troops have pushed back the enemy's army. We only need to seize the food and grass before we are dead. But our troops have returned to the court!"

"Our army has achieved such a great victory, your Majesty will definitely hold a banquet to celebrate our success and give us generous rewards!"

Whatever the pre-war meeting was decided, and the king's order said, that's what the general should do.

As a result, the Chu State cleverly divided its troops into two groups and managed to pull out Ying Chengyu, who was doing well in his nest!

Wang Jian really wants to ask King Chu, what are you thinking in that smart little head?

Oh, the Emperor of the Four Directions!

The capital of Chu State has come into Wang Jian's sight!

"War is a major matter, and only the king can decide it!"

Giving full play to subjective initiative depends on the occasion.

Ying Chengyu looked at Helu City with reluctance: "What the king said is absolutely true."

But now?

"Just counting the road distance, General Wang's troops have traveled more than 2,500 miles, and our troops have traveled more than 3,000 miles!"

Ying Chengyu could not feel the complex emotions contained in Wang Jian's words at all, and said with emotion: "The Chu army fled all the way towards Helu City, and the cities along the way watched the wind and fell."

It's you!

But obviously that cannot be said. Wang Jian said sincerely: "Fortunately, this battle is over."

Ying Chengyu's words seemed to have some magic power, which silenced Wang Jian.

How can the Chu army not suspect that you want to kill Benhelu City again? How dare they not try their best to return to Helu City!

And you dare to say that you had no expectations for this?

"It's not easy to get to Helu City. If I just teach the class empty-handed, I always feel that there is something missing."

The enthusiasm in Ying Chengyu's heart stagnated, and his eyes instantly dropped.

Wang Jian shook his head fiercely, with a bit of panic in his eyes.

Wang Jian almost put his hand on his forehead.

Are you satisfied now? Are you happy?

Otherwise, God knows whether it is his own subjective initiative or the executioner's subjective initiative that will be brought into play in the end!

Wang Jian could not refuse and said in a solemn voice: "The most important thing in the country is to sacrifice to the army."

and many more!

"Chasing, killing, and pushing all the way will allow me to appreciate the wind and frost of Helu City and pay homage to the hometown where Xi Shi once lived."

Wang Jian has already said similar words all the way.

"How did this battle develop to this point!"

But again, it’s coming!

The war horse under his crotch swung its tail and moved its hooves uneasily. Ying Chengyu looked at Helu City eagerly: "I have no intention of capturing Helu City."

"I just want to break Helu City to avenge the soldiers who died in this battle, make Chu State pay the due price, so that Chu State does not dare to look north to our Great Qin, and then we will withdraw our troops!"

"As the king's general said, it is indeed inconvenient for our army to attack the city before the king's order arrives."

"Of course, now that our army has arrived at the city, wouldn't it be a loss if we do nothing?"

"Even if Helu City is not conquered, our army can still send troops outside the city to intimidate the King of Chu."

"Use the threat of breaking the city to force the King of Chu to cede the Jiangbei territory to me, Da Qin, and at the same time, ask the King of Chu to provide food and grass to me, Da Qin!"

"How is it?"

Wang Jian's vigilance dissipated a little, but he still shook his head: "Although Chang'an Lord's move is not to conquer the enemy's capital, it is related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and it is also related to the pattern of the world."

"How much price will your Majesty make the Chu State pay? Will our Great Qin seriously inflict heavy damage on the Chu State? What territories does the imperial court want?"

"These are not things that you and I can decide, let alone something that you and I should think about!" "Mr. Chang'an, this strategy is feasible, but you should report it to the court first before making a decision."

Wang Jian was not only the most capable general in the late Warring States period, but also the general who best understood the court, court disputes, tactics, international situations, and enemy courts in the late Warring States period.

But even so, Wang Jian will never do anything that is not in line with the character of a general, let alone cross any red lines!

Rather than seizing every opportunity, Wang Jian longed to lead the nine tribes to die together!

After Ying Chengyu pondered for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "Can't wait!"

"Now our army is in the territory of the enemy's country, and the speed of the messengers is far inferior to that in our territory of Daqin."

"It will take at least seven days for the messenger to run from Helu City to Xianyang City."

"Even if you don't count the time spent by the king to discuss with your colleagues, this trip lasted half a month!"

"Half a month is enough for the Chu State to mobilize the people and send all the remaining troops here."

Wang Jian emphasized his tone: "If you can't wait, you have to wait!"

"Such major national affairs cannot be decided by generals like you and me. Otherwise, the king will punish you and me severely after the war."

"This general will never take the initiative to attack or besiege Helu City!"

"Even if Lord Chang'an decides to besiege the city, I will only camp here and wait for the king's orders!"

"For the sake of the safety of friendly troops, please give up such delusions, Lord Chang'an!"

Looking at Wang Jian's extremely determined eyes, Ying Chengyu suddenly showed a smile: "If this general is in a tough battle, General Lao Wang will lend a helping hand to this general."

Whether Wang Jian took the initiative to participate in the attack or siege was not important to Ying Chengyu.

Wang Jian led his men to camp here, which was already the greatest support for Ying Chengyu.

After all, the King of Chu did not know that Wang Jian would not take the initiative to attack!

Wang Jian sighed helplessly: "I would like to advise Lord Chang'an again not to have such an idea."

"Of course, if the friendly forces are in a bitter battle, I will do my best to save them!"

If Ying Chengyu insists on beating him, what can Wang Jian do?

We can only follow him!

Why is Ying Chengyu the most beloved cub of Ying Zheng!

Once the Chu army leaves the city to fight, Wang Jian will immediately join the battlefield in the name of reinforcing friendly forces and rescuing Ying Chengyu!

Ying Cheng smiled and cupped his hands: "Thank you, General King!"

"The general has also written all the three times the king has persuaded me in the military newspaper."

Wang Jian nodded with satisfaction.

You are sensible!

As soon as he tightened the reins, Wang Jian shouted loudly: "Send the whole army to camp fifteen miles west of Helu City to rest!"

"Immediately summon Xianyang City and request the king's order!"

Ying Chengyu also shouted: "Send the order to the whole army, keep moving forward!"

"Order the rear army to camp ten miles west of Helu City."

"Order the transport camp to cut down large trees to build siege equipment."

"After two hours of rest, besiege the city!"
-

At the same time, Helv City.

Which house is stronger in building the capital? Let's look for workers in the palace of the King of Chu.

After more than a year, this group of craftsmen who are the best in building new palaces in the world finally transformed the Chunshen Palace into what a palace should look like.

But the atmosphere in the splendid Helv Palace was not pleasant.

Xiang Yan, with her upper body exposed and thorns on her back, knelt down in the main hall.

"In this battle, the general will go out with an army of 420,000, and the king will increase his army by 300,000 to fight Qin."

"However, the general did not trust the king and fled back to Helu City with only nine thousand soldiers and horses."

"General, you are guilty!"

"Please punish me, Your Majesty!"

After Xiang Yan's death, Jing Chou, Qu Huan and other generals, although they did not suffer any losses, fell to their knees, kowtowed and cried out sadly:

"Please punish me, Your Majesty!"

Listening to Xiang Yan's words, Zhaocen almost fainted.

"Forty-two thousand elites went out to fight, but now there are only more than 9,000 left!"

"Three hundred thousand Zhao'an bandits went out to fight, but only more than 20,000 defeated troops fled back."

“Nearly 700,000 young men were buried in foreign lands!”

"A miserable failure! A miserable failure!"

"My great Chu has lost all its essence!"

The faces of other courtiers were also full of sadness.

The defeat of 300,000 Zhao'an troops made all the efforts of many nobles come to nothing.

The annihilation of the 420,000 elite army almost emptied the standing military strength of Chu State.

What makes them even more uncomfortable is that many of their relatives and descendants also died in this battle!

In this battle, Ying Chengyu almost broke the backbone of Chu State, destroyed the younger generation of Chu State, and eliminated the possibility of Chu State launching a foreign war in the next twenty years!

Until the next generation grows up, Chu will remain in a state of constant panic.

This is a disastrous defeat that shakes the country!

If given a choice, the Chu courtiers would rather let the Qin army conquer the capital of Chu again, or even kill the King of Chu to add to the fun, than suffer such a disastrous defeat!

On the high platform, the King of Chu looked ugly.

It’s his mother’s fault!

Take it off for fun!
