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

Chapter 473: I am very good at lobbying. If my lobbying fails, I am very good at killing!

Qi Wangjian looked surprised: "Borrowing troops?"

"We, Da Qi, have successively loaned 40,000 troops to Qin. Is it possible that Lord Qin Chang'an doesn't know about this?"

Ying Chengyu bowed his hands and said, "Foreign ministers have long known that Qi State is very helpful to our great Qin. Foreign ministers are very grateful."

"I, Great Qin, also understand that the State of Qi is doing its best to help Qin."

Ying Chengxuan's words sounded nice, but Qi Wangjian's expression did not change at all.

He's waiting for that 'but'!

"But." Ying Chengyu sighed helplessly: "Foreign ministers are young and energetic after all. Once they go on an expedition, they will treat the army as if it is nothing. Once they see blood, they will ignore it."

"We, the Great Qin Dynasty, only wanted to resist the soldiers and horses of Zhao and Chu and protect the autumn harvest in the territory."

"But the foreign minister was dazzled by the victory of Dahongshan. Instead of following the military strategy and sticking to the defense line, he actually dared to take the initiative to attack Chu!"

"Then, we chased him all the way from E City to Helu City, covering an area of ​​two thousand miles!"

"I think King Qi also understands that the new city needs to be heavily guarded."

"Today the Qin State is facing a war, and I have been trying my best to help since the beginning of the war."

"Even if I want to use more troops to support Qin, I am powerless!"

Even if the monarchs and ministers of the Qi State knew that Ying Chengxuan's "two thousand miles square" was false, based on the reports from the scouts, they knew very well how extensive the territory Ying Chengxuan had conquered in this battle.

People can't, at least they shouldn't be so shameless!

King Qi Jiandu was speechless by Ying Chengyu.

"In addition, the foreign minister saw many young adults cultivating the fields along the way, and also saw many adults enjoying themselves in Taigong Lake. These are all soldiers who can fight!"

"How can Qi be considered a country with few people and few people?"

You disobeyed the military strategy and boldly launched an expedition against Chu, and then conquered three territories as large as Qi's?

Combined with Ying Chengxuan's statement that once he goes on an expedition, he will treat military strategy as if it were nothing, and once he sees blood, he will ignore it...

"In order to make up for his own sins, the foreign minister has to ask King Qi for another helping hand!"

Listen to yourself what you are saying! ! !

"I think there are still a lot of soldiers and horses in Lanling Camp and other camps, and they can be lent to foreign ministers for their first use."

Is this a threat?

This is the threat!

Qi Wangjian's smile was a little more forced: "Qi and Qin are good friends, and they are even more allies."

The more he listened, the weirder his expressions became.

"The foreign minister thinks that it will not be a problem for Qi to produce another hundred thousand young men!"

"The foreign minister's expansion of the territory far exceeded what was expected before the war, and the troops prepared by our Great Qin were seriously insufficient!"

"Of course, we, Da Qi, are sparsely populated, so lending 40,000 troops and horses is the greatest support we, Da Qi, can give."

"On my way north to Linzi, my foreign ministers saw that every city in Qi had more than three thousand garrison troops. Isn't this a waste?"

Ying Chengyu waved his hand and smiled: "King Qi is really too modest!"

Starting from Echeng in the west, ending at Helu in the east, reaching Chencheng in the north, and ending at Penglize in the south, it was a territory that was twice as wide as the current territory of Qi!

"It won't be a problem to dispatch more than two thousand soldiers from each city to reinforce our army, right?"

Our Daqi does have nearly a million young men and women, but those are all our Daqi’s young men. How can you so confidently ask for 100,000 troops from my Daqi!

Da Qi is just an ally of Qin, not a vassal of Qin!

For a moment, Qi Wangjian felt suspicious.

Is the person who developed the Chang'an plow and Chang'an paper and sold them at low prices really the person in front of me?

Seeing that King Jian of Qi did not answer, Chunyu Hu quickly smiled and said: "Qi and Qin are allies, and I, Da Qi, will naturally try my best to help our allies."

"Of course, we also need to be responsible for all the people of Qi!"

"The defenders of each city are the last line of defense to defend our Qi Dynasty, and they can no longer be lent out."

"And our Da Qi is different from the powerful Qin, and the people of Qi are not as good at fighting as the people of Qin."

"Mr. Chang'an saw that we have many young men in Qi, but many of them are incapable of fighting and cannot be regarded as warworthy soldiers."

"If we, Da Qi, lend them to Lord Qin Chang'an, not only will we not be able to help the Qin State, but we may actually harm the Qin State!"

Ying Chengyu frowned slightly: "Chun Yu Wai Shi's words are wrong."

"The State of Yan has agreed to continue to abide by the alliance and set out to attack the northwest of Zhao. The main force is involved in the Yan-Zhao battlefield."

"The foreign ministers went on an expedition this time and attacked all the way to Helu City, severely damaging the Chu Kingdom!"

"Where does Qi's danger come from? And why do we need so many troops to protect Qi's security?"

"Qi State has so many soldiers left to live for nothing, so it would be better for them to follow me and go north to attack Zhao. This way they can also accumulate combat experience."

Faced with Ying Chengyu's words, the officials of Qi State were speechless.

In the past ten years or so, Qi's main threat has been Chu, which has invested a large number of troops on the Qi-Chu border.

Ying Chengyu severely damaged the Chu army, which seemed to be a great benefit to Qi.

But this benefit only seems to be there!

Although Qi and Chu are no longer bordering each other, Qi no longer needs to worry about Chu's military front.

But Qin is not a bad person!

You also ask where the threat from Qi comes from?

The biggest threat to Qi State at the moment is your Qin State!

Just out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's den, nothing more than that!

It's a pity that no one dared to say these words.

Otherwise, what Qi will face will no longer be the threat of Qin, but Qin’s military front!

Seeing that the monarchs and ministers of Qi State were speechless, Ying Chengyu's voice turned solemn: "If Qi State is unwilling to help the foreign ministers, the foreign ministers can only dispatch the soldiers guarding the southeast to follow the foreign ministers to the north." "According to the scouts, Chu Shang Zhu Guoyan is recruiting troops and horses in Kuaiji County."

"Whether the Yan State of Chu Shangzhu will go west to attack our country, Qin Dynasty, or go north to capture Qi, foreign ministers don't know."

"Even if the State of Chu Shangzhu did not go north, once our Great Qin is in trouble, our Great Qin will quickly withdraw to Guanzhong and divide the Guandong territory between Zhao and Chu, leaving no room to help Qi."

"Surrounded by a pack of wolves, is the state of Qi confident that it can protect the country and survive Zuo?"

"Foreign ministers are here to borrow troops to relieve the danger of our great Qin, and even more so to relieve the danger of the future of Qi!"

After Qi Wangjian pondered for a moment, he smiled and said: "Our Da Qi is not stable internally, and we really need many soldiers to defend the city."

"Of course, Qin Chang'an Lord led his army to severely inflict heavy damage on the Chu State, avenging the blood of our Da Qi, and making our Da Qi hinterland worry-free."

"I think we can lend the 30,000 soldiers from Lanling Camp to Qin Chang'an Lord, so that we can unite Qin's alliance and attack Zhao's army together!"

"What do you think, my dear friends?"

Qi needs Qin as an ally to survive in troubled times.

Faced with the threat of Ying Chengyu, Qi Wangjian could not remain indifferent.

In desperation, Qi Wangjian could only send out 30,000 troops and horses to send Ying Chengyu away.

Chunyu Hu, Hou Sheng and other court officials immediately handed over their hands: "Your Majesty is wise!"

However, Ying Chengyu's frown deepened: "Only 30,000 soldiers?"

"King Qi, I, the Great Qin Dianke, have come as envoys and have borrowed 40,000 soldiers from Qi one after another."

"Now that the foreign minister is here in person, the King of Qi is only willing to lend 30,000 soldiers?"

Ying Chengjian looked at Qi Wangjian with cold eyes: "Foreign ministers ask themselves, they are very good at lobbying. If the foreign ministers only bring 30,000 soldiers to the north, how will the king of Qi ask our Qin envoys to regard the foreign ministers? What will the king of Qi do to the people of the world? Looking at foreign ministers?"

Ying Chengxuan slammed the wine prince on the table and asked angrily: "Does the King of Qi regard the face of a foreign minister as nothing?"

Even though King Qi Jian had been holding back for many years, his expression was still stiff and his eyes were cold after hearing Ying Chengxuan's words.

Are you saying that few people regard your face as nothing?

But why have you ever cared about my face?

I am a king!

Hou Sheng stood up quickly and said in a gentle voice: "Qin Chang'an, please calm down!"

"Who in the world doesn't know that Lord Qin Chang'an is invincible in every attack and victorious in every battle?"

"How can my king ignore Qin Changan's face?"

"It's just that our great Qi has many young and strong men, but we have few soldiers to fight."

"The borrowing of 70,000 troops one after another is just a partial force for the Qin State, but for us, Da Qi, it is already our best effort!"

First he showed weakness and pretended to be pitiful, but then he changed the subject and said, "Qin Chang'an personally sent me as envoy to Da Qi. I am very happy."

"Qin Chang'an Lord made Chang'an plows and Chang'an paper, which are of great benefit to our great Qi."

"Now Lord Qin Chang'an is asking for help. Even if we, Da Qi, are fighting for local turmoil, we will definitely lend as many soldiers as possible to fully appreciate Lord Qin Chang'an's favor to me, Da Qi."

"These 30,000 soldiers and horses are just the soldiers and horses that can be immediately merged into Qin Changanjun's command."

"After our great Qi monarchs and ministers discuss it, we will definitely be able to mobilize some more troops to help Qin Chang'an conquer Zhao!"

Qi Wangjian's eyes were lowered, and anger surged in his heart.

I haven't agreed yet, Er'an dares to make a decision on my behalf!

But Ying Chengxuan smiled: "The foreign minister said that Qin and Qi are friendly, and the foreign minister came to visit in person. There is no way Qi can only send 30,000 troops to fend off the foreign minister."

"The State of Qi is really a good ally of our Great Qin!"

Hou Sheng and other ministers all greeted him with a smile.

Ying Chengxuan continued: "The State of Qi will do its best to help the foreign ministers, and the foreign ministers will not let Qi State suffer."

"The foreign minister doesn't have much food or soldiers under his command, but the territory gained from this expedition is still a gift."

"If the State of Qi can send 100,000 troops to help the foreign ministers attack Zhao, the foreign ministers can make the decision and donate all the seventeen cities around Huaiyin to the State of Qi!"

After hearing this, Hou Sheng and other Qi officials all gasped.

For Da Qin, Huaiyin was just a burden.

The result of the court discussion was that Ying Chengxuan gave up this area and returned it to Chu State.

But for Qi State, Huaiyin has extraordinary strategic significance!

As early as decades ago, the Chu State conquered the Huaihe River and threatened the hinterland of Qi State along the way.

If Qi can capture the territory from Lanling to Huaiyin, then Qi can push the defense line forward to the Huaihe River.

Holding the Huaihe River is much more stable than holding the Lanling and Mengshan lines!

In this way, the hinterland of Qi State can rest and develop safely, and even have time to deal with Yan State and regain the lost land taken away by Yan State!

And for the ministers of Qi State, this is a big pie that can easily expand the territory and become famous in history!

Hou Sheng hurriedly asked: "Really?"

"Qin Chang'an is really willing to cede the north of Huaiyin to Da Qi?"

Ying Chengyu smiled casually: "It's just seventeen cities. How many cities? Not many."

"How can a foreign minister be someone who goes back on his word?!"

"With the foreign minister's identity and status in our great Qin, my king will not veto the foreign minister's decision."

"As soon as the troops and horses are in place, the foreign minister will immediately order our troops to withdraw and surrender the cities around Huaiyin with both hands!"
