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

Chapter 886: You can’t just grab a sheep and kill it! Nine hundred thousand tigers and wolves are leaving Guanzhong!
Ying Zheng asked slowly, "My brother, do you intend to turn this battle into a war of annihilation?"

Ying Cheng nodded and said, "Not bad."

"My goal in this battle is to kill the enemy, not to delay them, and certainly not to force them to retreat."

"I think the best outcome of this battle is to take advantage of the fact that the news of Dilong's rise to power in Dai reaches the Dai army, and then our army will take advantage of the Dai army's confusion and suddenly launch a strong attack, annihilating the troops of Dai, Qi, and Yan in one fell swoop, and slaughtering all the young and strong people of Dai, Qi, and Yan!"

"If this strategy can be implemented, our Great Qin can at least rest and recuperate for more than ten years without having to worry about foreign wars."

"Even if we fail to annihilate them, we will still slaughter and capture as many young and strong men as possible from the enemy countries, so that we can have a chance to recuperate."

"As long as we get this period of development, our Great Qin's national strength will soar! The people will also be able to win over!"

"At that time, offense and defense will be easily changed!"

In Ying Chengjiao's view, it would be better to force the enemy to retreat and no longer be able to advance, rather than letting the enemy retreat voluntarily.

The best way to achieve this goal is to destroy the enemy's manpower as much as possible!

In this regard, Bai Qi set an excellent example for Ying Chengjiao.

As long as Ying Chengjiao kills ruthlessly enough, no matter how much the enemy hates Qin, they will not be able to actively attack Qin!

Ying Zheng looked at the court officials and said, "My dear ministers, what do you think of my brother's plan?"

Wei Liao looked at Ying Chengjiao eagerly and said, "Does Lord Chang'an really think that the key to this battle is to annihilate the young and strong men of the enemy country, rather than to expand the territory?"

Ying Chengjiao said sincerely, "Captain, rest assured, I know what's going on!"

"My Great Qin is not in a hurry to expand its territory. The most important thing is to strive for opportunities for development for my Great Qin!"

Looking at Ying Chengjiao's sincere and clear big eyes, Wei Liao felt a little toothache.

Chang'an Jun's words are sincere enough, but why do I not believe it?

Oh, by the way, before every expedition, Chang'an Jun always said sincerely that he would follow the military strategy!

Forget it.

tired.

Destroy it!
Wei Liao was exhausted and bowed to Ying Zheng: "I second the motion!"

So what if I don't agree?

Although I am the chief military officer of the Qin Dynasty, I am qualified to formulate overall military strategies and change the military system.

But as long as Chang'an Jun leaves Neishi County, I will no longer have the final say on how to fight!
Seeing that Wei Liao had no different ideas, the other court officials immediately bowed and said, "I second the motion!"

Ying Zheng nodded happily, and then said in a short voice: "The matter of selecting generals and mobilizing troops for this battle can be decided by Lord Chang'an alone!"

Wei Liao: (_)
Who am I?

National Captain?

No, no, no, I am just a spectator who sneaked into the small court meeting!

He tightened the strategy book in his arms, scratched his thinning hair, and tears flowed down his face.

Ying Zheng looked at Ying Chengjiao and asked gently, "My brother, how do you think we should arrange this battle?"

Ying Chengjiao first bowed to Wei Liao, and then said in a deep voice: "I need a general who is good at fighting, has won many battles, and has a great reputation. He will lead an army of 100,000 soldiers to station at Juzhu Mountain, constantly threaten the capital of Dai State, and put pressure on Dai State."

"And be prepared to block the surprise attack of Dai's elite troops, and lead the army into Dai to threaten Dai's capital at the critical moment!"

"This mission is very important!"

Wang Jian's back was slightly hunched, and he carefully hid his burly body behind Li Si.

When Ying Chengjiao glanced at Wang Jian, he felt a little amused. Then he continued to look at Meng Wu and asked with a bow, "General Wu, are you willing to obey my orders?"

Since Wang Jian is unwilling to go to war, the most intimidating general in the Qin Dynasty besides Ying Chengjiao and Wang Jian is undoubtedly Meng Wu.

As long as Meng Wu led an army of 100,000 to attack Juzhu Mountain, even if Meng Wu did nothing, it would be a considerable psychological pressure on the Dai State.

Fortunately, Meng Wu is not as tough as Wang Jian.

Facing Ying Chengjiao's order, Meng Wu immediately bowed and said, "I will obey your orders!"

Ying Chengjiao continued, "Qi has broken its alliance and has no shame!"

"I think we should be on guard against Qi sending heavy troops to launch a surprise attack on our Qin from Qi territory."

"I need a general who is experienced and prudent, and is good at holding on to his position, to lead an army of 100,000 to guard the safety of the southeast of Great Qin!"

"This task should be entrusted to Yang Wengzi!"

If Yang Duanhe were here, he would definitely reject Ying Chengjiao's advice.

Before the war to destroy Zhao, I was a general guarding the border between Qin and Zhao. However, as soon as the war started, I was transferred to attack the Great Wall.

Now, a great war is about to begin, and I am still a general guarding the front line. However, I am asked to guard against the State of Qi before the war even starts.

With Qi's courage, is it possible for them to send troops to attack Qin directly from Qi's territory?
No!

How can I get military merit in this battle! How can I be awarded the title of general or marquis based on my military merit?

It’s a pity that Yang Duanhe is now guarding the border in Du Kang, and his rebuttal and crying cannot be transmitted to Xianyang.

Ying Zheng directly answered on behalf of Yang Duanhe: "Yang Wengzi is an experienced and prudent general, and he will definitely obey your orders."

"I will personally write a letter to persuade Yang Wengzi to obey my orders!"

Ying Chengjiao smiled and bowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" "I still need a mature, loyal, and victorious general to guard Guanzhong for my Qin!"

"General Jian, are you willing to obey my orders?"

Wang Jian was immediately delighted, and hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "I obey your orders!"

As an old man, I finally don’t have to go out to fight!

As long as I don't go out to fight, I won't gain any military merits, let alone be promoted.

It’s so nice to stay safe while slacking off and eating melons in Xianyang City!
For a moment, Wang Jian looked at Ying Chengjiao with a little more friendliness.

Mr. Chang'an, that's very nice!
Ying Chengjiao's lips curled up slightly, and he continued, "I need a general who is brave and good at fighting, good at planning, good at quick battles, and can command a million soldiers to be my deputy general!"

"General Wang Ben, are you willing to obey my orders?"

Wang Jian: (⊙_⊙)?
Wang Ben: (°Д°)
Wang Jian's eyes seemed to be spitting fire when he looked at Ying Chengjiao.

After making trouble for me, you're going to make trouble for my son?

After tormenting my son, are you going to torment my grandson too?
Is there no one left in Daqin?
My Wang family has no grudges against Chang'an Jun, right?

Why do you want to torture my Wang family to death?

Wang Ben turned his head with a stiff neck and looked at Wang Jian.

Aung! Save me, save me, save me!

As long as I follow Lord Chang'an into battle, I will surely gain merit and be promoted to a higher rank!
Wang Jian closed his eyes in pain.

Silly son, if you don’t go to the war, your father will have to go!
You are still young and have room to grow, but I am old and I really can't take it anymore.

You should shoulder the credit for this achievement!
Wang Ben, who had nowhere to turn to, could only bow in despair: "Yes!"

Ying Chengjiao laughed loudly: "Good!"

"Very good!"

Ying Chengjiao turned around, bowed to Ying Zheng, and said in a deep voice: "I will advise you!"

"General Wu will be the commander of the detachment, General Xin Wu will be the deputy commander, and Lieutenant General Yang Hu and the Minister of Works Zhang Han... will be the commanders. They will recruit 80,000 soldiers from the three counties of Yanmen, Hengshan, and Taiyuan, and bring in 20,000 border troops, totaling 100,000 troops to guard the Juzhu Mountain line."

"General Yang Duanhe will be the commander of the detachment, General Le Xun will be the deputy general, and Lieutenant General Ren Xiao and Lieutenant General Tu Sui... will be the commanders. One hundred thousand soldiers will be recruited from Xue County, Sichuan, Jiujiang, and Huaiyang to guard the Pingyuanjin line."

"I will be the commander-in-chief, General Wang Ben will be the deputy general, General Li Xin, Lieutenant General Su Jiao, Lieutenant General... will be the captains. We will select 100,000 elite soldiers from the Lantian Camp and the Liyang Camp, and recruit 600,000 soldiers along the way. Together, we will form an army of 700,000 and march forward to Du Kang to face the enemy's main force!"

Hearing Ying Chengjiao's words, Wei Liao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The military strategy formulated by Ying Chengjiao was basically derived from the military strategy formulated by Wei Liao.

However, the military strategy formulated by Wei Liao was more defensive, and he deployed his troops in relatively remote and well-defended areas such as Changzhi.

Ying Chengjiao's military strategy was more inclined towards attack and deterrence. He directly transferred Meng Wu's troops to Juzhu Mountain in the north of Daqin. As long as they crossed the two mountains of Taixi Mountain and Gaoshi Mountain, they could directly threaten the capital of Dai, Wei County. He also deployed Yang Duan and his troops on the other side of the river from Gaotang, a strong military town of Qi and one of the five capitals.

The number of troops required by Ying Chengjiao was also far higher than the number of troops required by Wei Liao, reaching an astonishing 900,000!

For the current Qin Dynasty, this is still a huge pressure.

But fortunately, with the many technologies contributed by Ying Chengjiao, the current Qin Dynasty can barely hold on even if it tightens its belt!

This made Wei Liao, whose military strategy had been destroyed, feel grateful.

Lord Chang'an could obviously completely ignore my military strategy, but he still did not deviate from the overall framework of my military strategy!
Chang'an Jun has grown up!
Ying Zheng did not agree directly, but said in a deep voice: "I think it is not necessary to recruit 600,000 soldiers along the way."

Ying Chengjiao looked up at Ying Zheng in confusion.

If we don't recruit soldiers along the way, do we have to send all the troops from Guanzhong?
There are not so many soldiers in Guanzhong!

Ying Zheng looked at the victims who had not yet dispersed and smiled: "One hundred thousand soldiers can be recruited from the surrounding areas of Zheng County!"

"With the 100,000 elite soldiers from Lantian and Liyang, my brother only needs to recruit 500,000 soldiers along the way."

Ying Chengjiao immediately said: "The areas surrounding Zheng County are all disaster victims!"

"I think that our Great Qin should give them a chance to recuperate, instead of sending them to the battlefield and slaughtering them again after they have just suffered a natural disaster!"

Ying Zheng said in a deep voice: "I know that Lord Chang'an is kind and benevolent, but for the victims, this earth dragon has almost left them with nothing."

"Even if our Great Qin provides relief, it will be difficult for them to have enough food and clothing in a short period of time. They may even lose their families or freeze to death on the road due to a small accident."

"Instead of doing that, why not let them go with my brother?"

"Merit must be earned on the battlefield. I believe my subjects will use the swords in their hands to win them a lifetime of wealth!"

For the imperial court, sending disaster victims to the battlefield could significantly reduce the amount of food and fodder needed for disaster relief, and also make the food and fodder used to provide relief to the victims worthwhile.

For the disaster victims, going to the battlefield to earn military merit is the fastest way for them to return to their original living conditions.

War is indeed cruel, but they have lost everything, so why should they be afraid of losing another life? !
An army composed of such young and strong people can often burst out with a stronger fighting will than an ordinary army, and this is one of the reasons why the Qin Dynasty would go out to fight whenever there was a major disaster.

But in Ying Zheng's heart, the more important reason was that he could see the gratitude, trust and loyalty of these disaster victims towards Ying Chengjiao!

Ying Zheng believed that even when facing immortals, these victims would form the strongest line of defense in front of Ying Chengjiao!
Facing Ying Zheng's resolute gaze, Ying Chengjiao hesitated for a moment and then solemnly bowed: "I obey your order!"

Ying Zheng laughed loudly: "Allow Chang'an Jun's advice!"

"I will wait for the triumphant return of all the soldiers!"

Ying Chengjiao, Meng Wu, Wang Ben and other generals all bowed their hands:
"We, your servants, will not let you down!"
