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

Chapter 763: How are you? If Qin Changan doesn't come, then I will be fine!
North of Neihuang City.

Yan Dan looked at the devastated Neihuang City from afar, his eyes filled with solemnity.

Yan Dan led an army of 300,000 to attack for more than two months, and took advantage of the surprise attack, but to this day he has not been able to capture Neihuang City guarded by Meng Wu!
Although this was the normal rhythm of siege in the Warring States Period, the continuous war reports from the West made Yan Dan impatient.

A messenger rode his horse to within ten feet of Yan Dan, then dismounted, trotted forward, bowed and whispered, "Report to the commander."

"The Magistrate of Tun County refused to surrender to Great Yan."

"My commander, Gongsun Gao, asks the commander-in-chief to allow us to attack Tunshi City!"

Yan Dan frowned: "Tunshi City is unwilling to surrender to our Great Yan?!"

"Do you know why?"

Although King Xi of Yan's order had not yet been delivered, Yan Dan had already made the same judgment as King Xi of Yan.

Taking advantage of the demise of Zhao State, seize the territory that originally belonged to Zhao State!

As a result, the first city was unsuccessful.

The messenger shook his head: "I don't know!"

Another messenger followed and dismounted, bowing: "Report to the commander!"

"The magistrate of Yanghu County refused to surrender and said that as long as the King of Zhao was alive, the officials of Zhao would only obey the orders of the King of Zhao!"

After a few moments of silence, Yan Dan said with emotion: "This Yanghu County Magistrate is truly a righteous man!"

Deputy General Yan Hu could not help but say: "Prince, is there a possibility?"

"These county magistrates are unwilling to surrender just because the conditions offered by Dayan do not meet their requirements?"

Yan Dan was surprised and asked: "Now that Zhao has been destroyed, if Tunshi City does not surrender to Great Yan, will it surrender to Qin?"

"Qin and Zhao are blood enemies, but Yan and Zhao are allies after all. Surrendering to Yan should be far better than surrendering to Qin!"

After a few breaths of silence, Yan Hu said helplessly: "Although Qin and Zhao are blood enemies, it does not mean that these county magistrates all harbor deep hatred!"

Qin was Zhao's blood enemy.

But in the eyes of the Zhao people, Qin and Zhao were at least equal and were opponents of the same level.

However, in the eyes of Zhao State, Yan State was just a younger brother who was defeated in battles one after another!

Which down-and-out big brother would willingly serve as a younger brother to the little brother whom he used to beat up five times in three days?
So the people of Zhao were unwilling to surrender to Qin, but they were also unwilling to surrender to Yan!
When forced to choose a side, these former Zhao county magistrates would either choose to obey King Zhao Qian's orders for the last time, or choose the side that offered more benefits, or choose the side that they could not defeat.

Obviously, Yan Dan does not have any of these three options!

The admiration in Yan Dan's eyes turned into sneer: "What a bunch of mediocre people!"

"Inform all the messengers and the county magistrates that Great Yan will not hesitate to reward them generously with gifts, gold and beauties."

"As long as he is capable, I will promote him to a higher position!"

Yan Dan's voice became more serious: "To the county magistrates of Tunshi, Yanghu, Jipu, and Wei, I would like to give ten kilograms of gold as a gift."

"If you need anything, I will do my best to satisfy you."

"I just hope that these four cities will be brought under the rule of our army as soon as possible!"

All the messengers bowed in unison: "Yes!"

When the messengers dispersed, Yan Hun said thoughtfully, "Is the prince on guard against the Qin army in the west?"

The four cities of Tunshi, Yanghu, Jipu and Wei were not developed cities, and their wealth and grain were not much.

But these four cities formed a defensive chain on the east side of Handan City and were across the river from Neihuang City.

If Yan Dan can control these four cities, he will be able to build a solid position in the northwest of Neihuang City!

Yan Dan nodded slowly: "Qin Chang'an Jun is a great general of the time, invincible."

"Even a powerful country like Zhao had its capital breached by Qin Chang'an Jun, and the king captured."

"Faced with such a powerful enemy, it's never too much to be extra careful!"

Yan Hu frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled: "Prince, do you think that Qin Chang'an Jun will personally lead the troops eastward to retake the old Zhao city?"

"As the commander of the Qin army, Qin Chang'an Jun should stay in Handan City after defeating Zhao State to prevent the remaining Zhao forces from counterattacking!"

After destroying a country, tasks such as taking over enemy cities would basically be handed over to various military units.

After defeating Chu, Ying Chengjiao also assigned this task to various troops.

This is not because the coach is lazy, but because the coach needs to stay in the most important position to ensure that the victory that is hard-won will not be wasted!

However, Yan Dan said confidently: "I know Qin Chang'an Jun."

"He will definitely come!"

Then Yan Dan sighed softly: "I and Qin Chang'an Jun are close friends. I know very well how much Qin Chang'an Jun values ​​Qin Wangzheng."

"This time I sent an assassin to kill King Qin Zheng, and the Lord of Qin Chang'an will surely be furious!"

"He will definitely come to question me personally, or even break up with me and go to war with me!"

Although I am a close friend of Qin Chang'an Jun and I have received his kindness, I have never been able to have a drink and chat with him in this life.

When we met again, we were already on the battlefield and the rift had already arisen!
Sad!

What a pity!

Just as Yan Dan was feeling emotional, a scout came galloping towards him on horseback.

Without time to stop his horse, the scout bowed and shouted: "Report!"

"The Qin army's banner was discovered forty miles northwest!"

"We have found out that the Qin army has about 150,000 soldiers, and the rest of the comrades are still searching everywhere!"

Yan Hu was surprised: "Mr. Qin Chang'an actually came!"

Yan Dan shook his head regretfully: "Even though I overestimated my friend, I still didn't expect him to come so soon!"

"I think Qin Chang'an knows that I am waiting for him here!"

After a moment's silence, Yan Dan said in a deep voice: "Send the order!"

"All units stop attacking the city. Commander Yan An, Commander Yi Xun, and Commander Yan Fan will continue to besiege Neihuang City."

"Deputy General Yan Hun's troops are arrayed south of the Yellow River (the Great River)." "Commander Yan Pan..."

"The rest of the troops will follow me across the river to the north, and set up camp in battle array!"

"Each department's envoys must do their best to lobby the county magistrates. I will not hesitate to reward them with money, treasures, high positions and generous salaries!"
-
at the same time.

Sun Fox City.

Sun Jiwu, the magistrate of Yanghu County, stood on the west wall of Yanghu City in full armor, his face pale.

Ying Chengjiao stood outside the west city wall, smiling and bowing: "It's been a long time since we last met. I hope you are doing well, County Magistrate Sun!"

Sun Jiwu gnashed his teeth and said, "If Qin Chang'an doesn't come, then I will be safe!"

It’s a pity that Sun Jiwu didn’t dare to say this out loud.

The guards of Yanghu City did not dare to spread Sun Jiwu's words!

After taking a deep breath, Sun Jiwu asked solemnly: "Stop talking nonsense!"

"What is the purpose of Qin Changan's visit?!"

Ying Chengjiao said in a deep voice: "Take the order from King Zhao and take over the defense of Yanghu City!"

As he spoke, the fortune teller rode forward and held high up the royal decree written by King Qian of Zhao himself.

Sun Jiwu thought to himself that it was true, and shouted in a deep voice: "In my Great Zhao, there are only kings who died in battle, and no kings who were captured!"

"This order is not recognized by Yanghu City!"

"Although Lord Qin Chang'an has won battle after battle, our Yanghu City is also extremely strong."

"If Qin Chang'an insists on attacking Yanghu City, Yanghu City will make Qin Chang'an pay the price in blood!"

The example of the King of Chu dying while the State of Chu survived is right before his eyes. Sun Jiwu sincerely hopes to defend the territory of Zhao State, wait for the new king to ascend the throne, and revive Zhao State!
Ying Chengjiao frowned slightly: "Are you really unwilling to obey the order of King Zhao and surrender to our Great Qin?"

Sun Jiwu drew his sword and shouted in a deep voice: "Fight to the death!"

More than a thousand defenders of Yanghu City shouted in unison: "Fight to the death!!!"

Ying Chengjiao's expression turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Pass on my order."

"siege!"

Ying Chengjiao was now focused on advancing eastward and had no time to pay attention to Yanghu City. He simply left more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to besiege Yanghu City to prevent the Yanghu defenders from harassing Ying Chengjiao's baggage line, and then left the city to Wang Jian to deal with.

However, when Sun Jiwu saw the Qin soldiers walking out of the army formation holding copper hoes, his pupils suddenly shrank.

After swallowing hard, Sun Jiwu struggled for a few breaths, and finally sheathed his sword, shouting dejectedly: "General, I surrender!"

Ying Chengyu:? ? ?

Ying Chengjiao turned around and looked back in confusion: "Yanghu City, are you willing to surrender?"

Sun Jiwu nodded bitterly: "Yanghu City is willing to surrender!"

Looking at the shocked eyes of his comrades around him, Sun Jiwu sighed softly: "You guys don't want to taste your own urine anymore, do you?"

Sun Jiwu didn't know whether Ying Chengjiao could really drive earth dragons as those deserters said.

But Sun Jiwu truly suffered from the pain of Ying Chengjiao's words causing a severe drought!
Two years ago, Ying Chengjiao’s troops surrounded Yanghu City. Then there was a severe drought in the country. There was not a drop of water in Yanghu City. The defenders of Yanghu City finally had to drink urine to hold on!

Now it seems that Ying Chengjiao is about to besiege the city again. What should the defenders of Yanghu City do if Ying Chengjiao causes a severe drought in Yanghu City next?
Am I going to survive by relying on my own urine again?

Even if Sun Jiwu could persevere with his firm belief, how could the county soldiers be willing to suffer such torture for a country that no longer exists!
"Dang Cang~Dang~"

Weapons were thrown on the ground, and even the west gate of Yanghu City was opened by the gate guards.

Looking at the open city gate, Ying Chengjiao was a little unresponsive for a moment.

Didn’t General Ben fail in his lobbying?

How come the general suddenly succeeded in lobbying again?

very strange!

However, my lobbying ability is still so trustworthy!

Sun Jiwu walked out of the city gate with complicated eyes, and bowed to Ying Chengjiao: "Yanghu City respectfully welcomes Lord Chang'an!"

Ying Chengjiao smiled and cupped his hands: "Thank you, Magistrate Sun!"

"Now is the time when Great Qin is in need of talents. County Magistrate Sun has taken the initiative to submit to Great Qin. Great Qin will definitely make use of him!"

Sun Jiwu forced a smile: "Thank you, Chang'an Jun!"

As long as I can never see you again in this life, I will be satisfied!

Seeing Sun Jiwu's reluctant expression, Ying Chengjiao didn't bother to be polite and directly ordered: "My soldiers are all exhausted."

"Please ask Magistrate Sun to open the granary so that our army can take food."

Sun Jiwu immediately cupped his hands and said, "Of course."

Ying Chengjiao asked again: "Does Magistrate Sun know the military situation in Neihuang?"

Sun Jiwu said without hesitation: "The Yan army is still attacking Neihuang City, and Neihuang City is still holding on."

"As far as I know, the commander of the Yan army is Yan's crown prince Dan, who has been lobbying for the cities of Great Zhao to be under the rule of Yan."

Ying Chengjiao's eyes flickered: "Is this true?!"

"The shamelessness of Yan State is truly beyond my imagination!"

My Great Qin conquered the country, and you, the Yan State, came out to steal the territory without saying a word?
This is the thief!
Yan and Zhao were originally allies. Now that Zhao was destroyed, Yan did not think about restoring Zhao, but instead became the first to plunder Yan's territory?
This is injustice!
Sun Jiwu nodded and said, "It is true."

"Yan State also lobbied Sun."

Ying Chengjiao smiled and asked, "Why didn't Magistrate Sun surrender to Yan but to Qin?"

Sun Jiwu subconsciously showed some disdain: "Yan State is not worthy."

"The King of Yan is even less worthy!"

Ying Chengjiao laughed heartily: "What an unworthy one!"
