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

Chapter 877: The position of the left prime minister is vacant! No matter how real a fake thing is, it will always be fake!

King Jian of Qi's resolute attitude towards war gave Mao Sui great encouragement.

Mao Sui immediately said: "Please forgive me for speaking frankly."

"Qi has the strongest and most extensive army of warriors in the world, and also has abundant money, food, armor and weapons. It is truly a powerful country in the world."

"In the past, it was with the support of Qi's elite warriors that Qin Chang'an was able to defeat Chu in one battle."

"However, Qi has been peaceful in recent years, and there have been no major wars, so the generals in the country have experienced fewer major wars."

"So the foreign ministers think that we can replace General Mu as the commander of the Qi army."

Even if he put aside the facts and praised Qi State, Mao Sui was still worried that King Jian of Qi would be unhappy.

After all, having Li Mu command the Qi army was indeed an insult to all Qi's generals, and would inevitably damage Qi's interests.

So Mao Sui quickened his pace and added: "Please rest assured, King Qi!"

"My great Dai General Mu will definitely treat the troops of Dai, Yan, and Qi equally."

"In any battle to annihilate or break the enemy's formation, our elite troops will serve as the vanguard!"

“Fan…”

But to Mao Sui's surprise, although King Jian of Qi shouted that he had never forgotten the great wish of his predecessors for unification, he was still clear-headed and able to face up to the current weakness of Qi.

Before Mao Sui finished speaking, Qi Wangjian waved his hand to interrupt him and said with a gentle smile: "I understand what Prime Minister Mao meant."

"We, the Great Qi, have fought few battles in recent years, and we have not faced the Qin army in decades. We lack experience in fighting a war with the Qin State."

"The King of Dai's intention is deeply in my heart."

"However, our Great Qi is not a vassal of Dai after all. If General Mu of Dai wants to command the troops of our Great Qi, he should agree to my request."

Mao Sui immediately saluted and said, "I respectfully obey the orders of the King of Qi!"

King Jian of Qi said solemnly: "I wish to appoint General Mu as the General of the Great Qi and the Grand Officer of the Capital!"

"Then order him to command the troops of Great Qi as the general of Great Qi!"

What King Jian of Qi did was the normal practice for two equal countries to borrow soldiers and generals from each other.

Li Mu commanded the soldiers of Dai State as the general of Dai State, and then commanded the soldiers of Qi State as the general of Qi State.

In this way, although the soldiers of Dai and Qi in the army still belonged to the two countries respectively, Li Mu had direct jurisdiction over the soldiers of both countries and had the highest decision-making power in the army.

Li Mu had the power to directly decide the merit calculation, reward and punishment judgment and even the laws and military regulations of all the soldiers of the Dai and Qi armies.

Only then will it be legitimate!
Just as Mao Sui was about to agree, he heard Tian He suddenly say, "I think this is inappropriate!"

"I am willing to abdicate and let the wise take over. Please replace General Mu as the Left Prime Minister of Great Qi, so that General Mu can mobilize the country's supplies and command the officials in each city!"

Tian He knew very well that Dai was poor and Qi would have to pay more money and food to support the logistics of the army.

Only by granting Li Mu the position of Prime Minister of Qi and allowing Li Mu the power to mobilize Qi's grain and grass can Li Mu fight this battle without any worries!
In addition, the official position given to Li Mu by Qi State was higher than that given to Li Mu by Dai State, and Li Mu was not a member of the royal family of Dai State.

Maybe Li Mu will switch to Qi because of Qi's trust!

Qi Wang Jian said reluctantly: "If this is the case, I am really ashamed of Prime Minister Tian!"

Tian Yu smiled and said, "For the sake of winning this battle, what does it matter if I suffer a little grievance?"

"If the king does not forsake me, I will follow the army as a deputy general and use my sword to smooth the road ahead for the Great Qi!"

King Jian of Qi bowed in gratitude and said, "Prime Minister Tian's kindness will be remembered in my heart! Great Qi will also remember it in the annals of history!"

"Since this is the case, I will demote Tian He from his position as the left prime minister and promote him to the position of general of the Great Qi. I will order General He to accompany the army to the battle."

"The position of Left Prime Minister is vacant and waiting to be replaced by Lord Wu An!"

Mao Sui excitedly hurriedly saluted and said, "The foreign minister will send a message to the state today."

"The King of Qi sincerely invites Wu'an Jun. I believe that Wu'an Jun will be grateful and willing to share the King of Qi's worries!"

King Jian of Qi said seriously: "It is my great fortune to have Wu'an Jun share my worries!"

"I will immediately send orders to all parts of Da Qi to recruit soldiers and raise food. Once Wu Anjun receives the seal of the Prime Minister of Da Qi, we can go to war at any time!"

"Besides this, is there anything else that Da Qi needs to prepare for this battle?"

King Jian of Qi took a simple and direct approach.

Want command?

Give!
Want soldiers?
Give!
Need food?
Give!
I just want victory!

Mao Sui saw this and said without further ado, "Besides this, there is one more thing that only Qi can accomplish!"

"I wonder if the King of Qi has ever heard of the name of the Great Witch Qin Chang'an Jun?"

The smile on Qi Wangjian's face slowly faded, replaced by a solemn expression: "How could I not have heard of this?!"

"I once thought that Qin Chang'an was the greatest wizard of the time."

"But I just found out recently that Qin Chang'an is the greatest wizard in history!"

After a pause, Qi Wangjian said slowly with a solemn look in his eyes: "In fact, he may have transcended the category of witches!"

Qi Wangjian had not only heard of Ying Chengjiao's name as a great witch, but he was also a major participant in the superstitious arms race. But the more he competed and the more he understood, the more uncertain Qi Wangjian felt.

Qi State did have the largest number of wizards and alchemists, but even though King Jian of Qi had tried his best, he had yet to find even one wizard who could command an earth dragon.

That’s all.

Even though the doctors of Qi State had read through the history books, they could not find a great wizard like Ying Chengjiao who could predict the earth dragon's reversal one year in advance!
Qin Chang'an Jun, can you really still be called a witch?
Mao Sui also nodded solemnly: "If such a great witch uses witchcraft when the two armies are fighting, our army will have no power to resist."

"If there is a choice, my king will not choose to attack Qin while Qin Chang'an Jun is still alive."

"Yes! Qin Chang'an is only over 20 years old!"

"The witchcraft he performed also gradually improved from controlling fire and water at the beginning to being able to observe celestial phenomena, drive away wind and rain, and command earth dragons. No one knows what kind of witchcraft Qin Changan will master in the future!"

"Dai, Yan, and Qi cannot wait for Qin Chang'an Jun to pass away before going to war with Qin. Instead, they may have to face Qin Chang'an Jun, who has stronger witchcraft, because of waiting and delaying."

"Qin Chang'an Jun is the great enemy that all countries in the world have to face when they attack Qin!"

Thinking of Ying Chengjiao's witchcraft, Mao Sui couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

If Ying Chengjiao were over 60 years old now, the Dai Kingdom would not have the intention of initiating a war.

But this year Ying Chengjiao is only in his twenties, and he still has a long way to go in his heyday and growth period!

The Dai Kingdom’s national destiny could not even outlast Ying Chengjiao’s lifespan.

The State of Dai did not dare to give Ying Chengjiao a longer period of development.

Therefore, even if there is no wizard who can fight against Ying Chengjiao, this battle must be fought!
But if possible, Mao Sui really hoped to find a wizard who could compete with Ying Chengjiao.

Even if we can only find a wizard who can hinder Ying Chengjiao and know the effects of Ying Chengjiao's witchcraft in advance, it would be fine!
Mao Sui bowed deeply and said, "Everyone knows that Qi has many witches and sorcerers."

"I ask the King of Qi to select a great witch to fight against the Lord of Qin Chang'an!"

King Jian of Qi frowned and said, "Even when Qin Chang'an Jun repeatedly used witchcraft, I had already recruited witches and sorcerers."

"Many of them claim that they can rival Qin Chang'an Jun."

"However, according to my observation, although there are many witches and sorcerers who have applied for the job, the only one who may be able to resist the magic of Qin Chang'an Jun is probably one person who has not applied for the job!"

Mao Sui's eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked impatiently, "May I ask who it is?"

Qi Wangjian said word by word: "An Qisheng!"
-
"Anqisheng! My beloved's illness has been cured! This is all thanks to the good medicine Anqisheng gave me. I will hold a banquet at my house in three days. Anqisheng, you must come to the banquet no matter what!"

"An Qisheng! The immortal fruit you gave me last time is really effective. My child's illness has completely disappeared! I don't have your immortal skills. These are fruits picked from my own fruit trees. You must take them!"

"An Qisheng..."

In Linzi city, Zheng Anqi, wearing a loose long gown, seemed to be walking casually through the streets, but wherever he went, acquaintances would come forward to greet and thank him. Before long, Zheng Anqi's body was stuffed with all kinds of fruits and his pockets were stuffed with gold and copper coins.

Faced with these gifts, Zheng Anqi accepted them all, but when he saw a beggar, he would give all the gifts to him.

When facing everyone, Zheng Anqi wore a smile that was gentle, loving, distant, and a bit condescending. His pure white beard and hair added a bit of an immortal-like deity's demeanor with a youthful face and white hair.

But only Zheng Anqi himself knew how panicked and anxious he was!
When he was about to give the gift to the beggar again, Zheng Anqi lowered his voice and said, "Help me get rid of other people's sight, bribe the guard, and find out the secret door."

"I need to leave Linzi City as soon as possible!"

The beggar looked surprised. As he took the gift, he whispered, "There are still three months before we are scheduled to leave Linzi!"

"Communications between all parties have not been completed, and many preparations have not been made properly."

"It may not be easy to leave now!"

Zheng Anqi said without hesitation: "It's not easy, but we have to go!"

"Not only did Dai send Prime Minister Mao Sui to Qi, but after arriving in Linzi, Prime Minister Mao Sui spent several days running around the residences of Qi's important officials, and then he went straight to Wu Palace without even a rest."

"According to the current situation in the world, Dai Xiang Mao Sui must be here to seek an alliance."

"According to Qi's current situation, it is almost impossible for the King of Qi to reject Dai, and the Qi-Dai coalition is almost unstoppable."

"Then the King of Qi will definitely ask me to use witchcraft to fight against Qin Chang'an Jun!"

Zheng Anqi is not good at fortune-telling, but he has a huge network of relationships and intelligence.

By summarizing various intelligence, Zheng Anqi came to a conclusion that made him extremely panic.

The beggar blinked and said, "Isn't this a great opportunity for you to become famous?"

Zheng Anqi was so angry that he almost laughed.

Make a name for yourself?

It's better to be disgraced and die!
The witchcraft such as commanding the earth dragon to turn over, predicting the earth dragon's turning over, etc., is far beyond the power that humans can control, and can also directly affect war and killing!
As for the curse used in response to the battle, it was beyond Zheng's imagination!

Zheng is indeed more like a real witch than all the fake witches.

But in front of a real witch, Zheng will always be a fake witch!
Zheng Anqi emphasized, "No need to ask any more questions. Do it as soon as possible at any cost!"

After saying this, Zheng Anqi handed all the money he had on him to the beggar, and then walked towards the crowd with a gentle yet distant smile on his face.

But before he had walked out for long, Zheng Anqi's pupils trembled.

With his peripheral vision, he caught sight of the crowd that was beginning to evacuate not far away, and then he saw several strong men with sturdy shoulders, fierce eyes, and swords in their hands. Zheng Anqi felt bitter in his heart, "My life is over!"
