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

Chapter 729: I am waiting for Wang Jian, what are you waiting for! Let’s play Gwent!

March 21, the 14th year of the reign of Qin Shi Huangdi.

Fukouxingdongxingkou.

A scout rode back at full speed, cupped his hands and whispered, "Report to the commander!"

"The Zhao army set up five large camps around the eastern Xingkou of Fukou Xing."

"They control Fushan, Huoyanshan, Dongpeishan and Yuanbaoshan respectively."

"The Zhao army set up its main camp in Yangyi."

"My comrades are still doing their best to conduct reconnaissance to find out the strength of Zhao's army."

The scouts under Ying Chengjiao were all old Qin soldiers from the Lantian camp, and they were considered a powerful army of the time.

But the scouts under Li Mu's command were the elite among the elite who had been trained by Li Mu for many years and had been fighting with the Huns for many years.

The scouts of the two armies clashed in an area long controlled by the State of Zhao, and it was difficult for the Qin scouts to gain an advantage.

Fortunately, the intelligence brought back by the Qin scouts was enough for Ying Chengjiao to make a basic judgment.

Ying Chengjiao looked at the Kunyu map in his hand, thinking: "With the four mountains as the basis, and Yangyi as the base."

"Standing majestically at the mouth of the valley, suppressing all directions?"

Yangyi is just a small city.

There was not even a city wall in the early years. It was not until the border between Qin and Zhao got closer and closer to Handan in recent decades that a city wall was built.

But Li Mu probably never thought about making use of the Yangyi city wall.

In Li Mu's camp layout, four camps guarded the exits at the end of Fukou Xing, and the Yangyi soldiers were stationed in the four camps, able to support the four camps and help them hold out until more reinforcements arrived.

Correspondingly, the distance between the Zhao army camp at Dongye Mountain and the Zhao army camp at Yuanbao Mountain reached one hundred and twenty miles!

Judging from the surrounding road conditions, if the Zhao army at Yuanbao Mountain wants to reach the Zhao army camp at Dongpei Mountain, it will take four days of walking and three days of rushing!

Although such a vast camp layout maximized the defense and control of key areas, it also made it difficult for the Zhao army to gather superior forces in a short period of time and deal a heavy blow to the Qin army!
Ying Chengjiao said with a sigh, "Has Lord Zhao Wuan decided to have a long-term confrontation with our army?"

"Have General Jian's troops sent back any updated military reports?"

Meng Tian immediately said, "There has been no report from the general's troops yet."

"According to the military reports so far, General Jian is still confronting the troops of Zhao Wuxiang Jun Lecheng in Jingxing."

"Although General Jian has more soldiers and horses, he has not yet taken the initiative to launch an attack."

"Commander, do you want to urge General Jian to speed up the attack?"

As he spoke, Meng Tian felt a little emotional.

Ying Chengjiao ordered Wang Jian to lead his army along Jingxing and attack Handan directly, which was a desperate strategy.

As a result, Li Mu had already ordered Le Cheng to lead his troops to station in Jingxing and intercept Wang Jian in Jingxing!

No wonder the coach values ​​Li Mu so much.

This general is truly terrifying!
Ying Chengjiao shook his head: "Don't rush General Jian."

"Lord Wuxiang of Zhao is a good general, and our Great Qin General Jian is an even greater general, and now he is leading the many to defeat the few."

"In the Battle of Jingxing, our army will surely win. It is just a matter of when."

Looking at the Zhao army camp in the direction of Huoyan Mountain, Ying Chengjiao smiled and said, "Since Zhao Wuan-jun is determined to confront me here, I will follow Zhao Wuan-jun's wishes and confront him here!"

"I want to see whether I and Daqin will collapse first."

"It was Zhao Wuan who gave up first!"

"I want to see if Zhao Wuanjun can get the fighting opportunity he wants after the Qin and Zhao armies have been confronting each other for a long time!"

I am waiting for Wang Jian.

what are you waiting for?
Since we can’t make it in time for the spring ploughing this year, why should I be afraid of a long-term confrontation with you?

But it is undeniable that the truth hidden behind the strategy is that Ying Chengjiao was afraid of fighting!
Although the world believed that Ying Chengjiao was the greatest general of the time, invincible in every battle.

Many people even claim that Ying Chengjiao is the greatest war god of all time in China, and even if Bai Qi, the Marquis of Wu'an, is resurrected, he can only be a deputy general of Ying Chengjiao.

But Ying Chengjiao never became arrogant.

He knew very well that compared with ordinary first-class generals, he only had three real advantages.

The first was the technological gap in armaments and weapons; the second was the tactics, strategy, and information gap in understanding the character of the enemy's monarch and ministers, the general direction of history, and large-scale meteorological disasters; and the third was Ying Zheng's firm trust and support for him.

But compared with the first-class generals, generals such as Wang Jian, Li Mu, and Bai Qi all have unreasonable talents!
To this day, Ying Chengjiao dare not say that he can defeat Li Mu.

The only thing Ying Chengjiao could ensure was to delay Li Mu.

This gave Wang Jian the opportunity to first annihilate Le Cheng's troops, and then join forces with Ying Chengjiao. With the combined strength of two great generals and absolute superiority in force, they defeated Li Mu!
Meng Tian smiled and nodded: "In this case, I will go and tell my comrades to relax their minds."

"Be prepared for a long battle!"

Ying Chengjiao thought for a moment and ordered, "We can't use the time of confrontation to farm, but we can't waste it either."

"I intend to open a military academy again, just like during the Qin-Chu War."

"In addition, I am planning to hold another military taju (cuju) competition!"

A war is about to start? Well, let’s play a game of Gwent!
Although Ying Chengjiao doesn’t have Gwent, he can play Cuju in the Warring States Period!

The eyes of Su Jiao, Meng Tian and other generals all lit up: "Cuju competition?"

Ying Chengqiao smiled and nodded: "Not bad."

"We have nothing to do anyway, why not hold a Cuju competition?"

"It can not only allow the soldiers to relax, but also select soldiers from the army, and train the army. It can also show that our army is not afraid of a long battle and is willing to fight a long battle."

"Why not?"

"I will personally offer one pound of gold as a prize!"

Meng Tian shouted excitedly: "Color!"

"I just don't know if I can join in the discussion."

Ying Chengjiao laughed out loud: "Of course!"

"But Captain Meng needs to work harder." "Although General Meng Ao was once a native of Qi and was quite good at Cuju, Captain Meng Tian also practiced Cuju since he was young."

"But there are many soldiers in our army who come from Qi."

"Captain Meng, be careful not to be defeated by the young general!"

While chatting and laughing, a group of Qin generals discussed the first military Cuju competition of the Qin Dynasty, without any sense of urgency that a major war was about to begin.

But a group of knights shattered the calm and relaxation that Ying Chengjiao had deliberately created.

"Where is Mr. Chang'an!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Ying Chengjiao suddenly turned his head, and then his eyes suddenly focused, and he shouted in a broken voice: "Eighth husband!"

Ba Fu turned around and saw Wang Bo leading dozens of eunuchs riding horses towards them!

During the Battle of Qinian Palace, Wang Bo had already fought under Ying Chengjiao, and was later promoted to the position of Minister because of his talents in both civil and military affairs and his trustworthy status.

But now Wang Bo appears here!

It is obvious that there have been changes in the court!
Ba Fu immediately kicked his horse's belly, rode out and met Wang Bo's troops. Then he personally led the way with the token in hand and brought Wang Bo to Ying Chengjiao.

“Your Majesty!” Wang Bo bowed tiredly, not caring about the blood flowing from his toes, and said in a forced voice: “Yan State betrayed the alliance!!!”

All the Qin generals changed color.

Meng Tian's face turned even paler, with deep worry in his eyes.

Ying Chengjiao's eyes turned cold: "No wonder I have never received the Yan Kingdom Tiger Talisman until today."

"Yan Shu!"

"Sure enough, you are going to betray our Great Qin again!"

Ying Chengjiao was a little surprised, but not shocked.

Although the people of Yan were generous and righteous, King Xi of Yan in his middle and old age was a complete villain.

No matter what shameless things such people do, it is not worth being surprised.

Ying Chengjiao had long been mentally prepared for Yan's betrayal, and had not even included the Yan army in his overall strategic considerations.

Ying Chengjiao asked solemnly, "But has the Yan army already turned against General Meng Wu and attacked his troops?"

"What is the current situation of General Meng Wu's troops?"

Meng Tian looked at Wang Bo nervously, hoping to get news that was not the worst from Wang Bo.

But Wang Bo shook his head: "I don't know."

"After learning that Yan had broken the alliance, I immediately led the eunuchs to report the news."

"By the time I left Xianyang City, General Meng Wu's troops had not yet sent back military reports."

Ying Chengjiao was somewhat surprised: "Didn't the court know that Yan had broken the alliance only after the Yan army turned against General Meng Wu's troops?"

"Could it be that Yan State has finally come clean for once and sent an envoy to inform us that Great Qin will no longer continue the alliance?"

Since you are already planning to break the alliance, why not take advantage of Qin's trust to stab Qin in the back?
This doesn’t seem like Wang Xi’s style!
After a few moments of silence, Wang Bo finally spoke angrily, "The State of Yan did send envoys to Xianyang."

"However, the envoy from Yan did not come to tell us that Great Qin would no longer continue the alliance."

"Instead, it is said that the State of Yan wants to invite you to be a vassal."

"He even offered the Kunyu map of Dukang to show his loyalty!"

"But Yan's envoys Tian Guang and Jing Ke took advantage of the king's unpreparedness and stabbed him with a dagger!"

In an instant, the expressions of the Qin generals changed drastically.

What the hell?
The envoy of Yan State openly stabbed our king with a dagger?!
Ying Chengjiao's brain began to buzz.

He knew that letting Yan Dan go would inevitably bring danger to Ying Zheng!
He knew that he should have killed Yan Dan in Xianyang City!

But Ying Chengjiao never expected that the danger would come so quickly.

According to history, shouldn't Jing Ke be sent to assassinate Ying Zheng only after the fall of Zhao State!

Why did the assassin come so quickly this time!

If Ying Chengjiao had known that Yan Dan was so anxious, he would not have gone to fight this battle.

Others did not dare to rush to the platform when Jing Ke was stabbing Ying Zheng, but Ying Chengjiao definitely ran faster than Jing Ke!

Ying Chengjiao asked in a hoarse voice: "Is the king okay?!"

Wang Bo hurriedly bowed: "My king is fine!"

"When the Yan envoy was assassinating him, the king had difficulty drawing his sword."

"Fortunately, Lord Chang'an gave the king a crossbow. The king used the crossbow to shoot and kill Yan's envoy Tian Guang, and then killed Yan's envoy Jing Ke with a sword!"

"The king is unharmed!"

The generals of the Qin Dynasty finally breathed a sigh of relief, followed by a burst of angry shouts:

"The shameless Yan State actually ordered its envoy to openly assassinate our king! Our Great Qin is an ally of Yan State! How could Yan State do such a shameless thing! From today on, who in the world dares to trust Yan's envoy! Who dares to trust Yan State!"

"If the battle between Qin and Zhao was not in full swing, I would have requested to attack Yan! One day, my great Qin would trample the Yan Kingdom and cut the King of Yan into thousands of pieces! Leave him in the military academy for all the military doctors to curse!"

"The mother of the King of Yan is a maid! Commander, when the time comes to destroy Yan, I will serve the Qin Dynasty and destroy the capital of Yan!"

Even some middle and lower-level Qin army officers and soldiers who came from Qi, the former Wei, and the former Chu could not help but shout and curse angrily!

But Ying Chengjiao said nothing.

Ying Chengjiao's eyelids drooped slightly, and his eyes were as cold as ice. The murderous aura of killing thousands of people with his own hands and destroying millions of people was revealed without any concealment!

Feeling Ying Chengjiao's strong murderous intent, the Qin generals gradually stopped their noise.

Slowly raising his head, Ying Chengjiao suppressed his vicious gaze, tried his best to control his temper and anger, and spoke word by word:
"Summon Lord Zhao Wuan."

"I will invite Lord Zhao Wuan."

"Answer before the battle!"
