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

Chapter 918: Several years of preparation, just to destroy Qi! If you talk about this, I won't be sleepy anymore!

Ying Chengjiao walked in front, his brain quickly thinking about the next strategic plan.

Zhao Gao followed behind, his legs weak and his heart filled with anxiety.

Although Zhao Gao knew very well that with Ying Chengjiao's status and position in the Qin Dynasty, there was no reason for him to do something like collaborating with the enemy and selling out his country.

But what if?
What if Ying Chengjiao has a mental illness?
"Meet the coach!"

A burst of uniform shouting awakened Zhao Gao, and he found himself in a military tent without knowing when. Su Jiao, Zhang Han, Ge Ping and other generals who stayed behind to guard the Yishui Great Wall were all lined up in front of him.

After Ying Chengjiao returned the greeting with a bow, he got straight to the point and said, "The merchants of Qi have all agreed to my terms."

"This strategy has been accomplished."

Suddenly, the eyes of Su Jiao and all the other generals lit up, and there was cheering in the tent.

"Lucky! Big lucky! The coach is really good at lobbying!"

"Hahaha~ From now on, our army will be able to get an extra sum of money every month! Commander! Should this money be counted as war spoils and shipped to the rear, or should our army directly... hehe, distribute it to the soldiers?"

"Unfortunately, in order to facilitate the implementation of the plan, our army cannot offer higher conditions. Otherwise, I will lead the army to seal Pingshu City again, forcing the Qi army to use merchants to transport supplies and food. In this way, I don't know how much money and food our army can earn!"

Zhao Gao: ???
Looking at the generals in the tent who were so excited, Zhao Gao felt numb.

Is it really appropriate to discuss treason and betrayal so openly in the big tent?

But Zhao Gao's worries were all gone.

With all the high-ranking generals in the army participating and Ying Chengjiao's bloodline and reputation as the foundation, Zhao Gao was no longer in danger no matter what Ying Chengjiao wanted to do.

After letting the generals cheer for a few breaths, Ying Chengjiao raised his right hand, and all the generals shut up.

Ying Chengjiao said in a deep voice: "Although this strategy has been implemented, our army's overall strategy in the future cannot be carried out according to this strategy."

"I have ordered Commander Peng Yue to stop infiltrating Qi's hinterland, and I have ordered the generals to stop stirring up trouble for Qi's people."

"The military strategy for this battle must be drastically changed!"

"So even if this strategy has been implemented, my fellow soldiers, please do not think that this strategy can earn much money and food for our army."

Su Jiao asked in confusion: "Why is this?"

"The commander-in-chief used Qi merchants and Qi military markets on the front lines to intensify the pursuit of profit among Qi soldiers, exacerbating the desire of Qi soldiers at the grassroots level to forget their principles for the sake of profit."

"Then, in the rear of Qi, I ordered the troops of Commandant Peng Yue to pretend to be ordinary people of Qi and harass the nobles of Qi. I ordered the scouts to guide the nobles of Qi to embezzle the rewards of the Qi army. The two coordinated efforts intensified the conflict between the nobles of Qi and the ordinary people of Qi, and then provoked the dissatisfaction of the Qi army soldiers on the front line towards Qi."

"Our army only needs to wait quietly, and we will see that the morale of the Qi army is unstable, the leaders are divided, and there may even be a mutiny!"

"The commander-in-chief had already been planning this strategy when he took office as the left prime minister of Qi State. I and my fellow soldiers all think that the commander-in-chief's strategy is truly brilliant."

"Now that this strategy has been successful, why would the coach give it up?"

After hearing this, Zhao Gao finally felt relieved.

As expected! I said Chang An Jun would never be a traitor to the country!

The fundamental purpose of Chang'an Jun's business with Hou Wang was to further intensify the internal conflicts in Qi!

In order to implement this strategy, Chang'an Jun had already made arrangements by using his position as the left prime minister during the Qin-Qi war to destroy Chu.

Chang'an Jun, you are worthy of being called Chang'an Jun!
Ying Chengjiao said calmly: "This strategy has no mistakes or omissions, and has never been exposed. Even if I want to adjust the military strategy, I will continue the deal with Houwang so that I can still implement this strategy when Qin and Qi fight again in the future."

"The reason why I adjusted my military strategy is that this strategy is no longer suitable for our army's current strategic goals."

Facing the puzzled looks of the generals, Ying Chengjiao spoke slowly, "I just received the king's order."

"Your Majesty has ordered our army to make the world believe that our army is going to attack Dai, weaken Yan, and destroy Qi!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the whole room was silent.

After a few breaths, Su Jiao stared with his round eyes and asked, "Mistakenly?"

"Instead of actually attacking Dai, weakening Yan, and destroying Qi, why do we want to make the world think that our army is going to attack Dai, weaken Yan, and destroy Qi?"

Why is this so confusing!

Ying Chengjiao nodded and said, "Yes!"

"I don't have any ideas on this. If you have any ideas, please report them to me!"

There was silence for more than ten breaths in the big tent, and then Ge Ping suddenly cupped his hands and shouted: "I think you can lead 50,000 troops to attack Qi's Rao'an City in the south to show our army's determination to destroy Qi!"

Su Jiao was speechless and immediately refuted: "What kind of prestige does Captain Ge have that can make Qi afraid?"

"Having Captain Ge lead 50,000 troops to the south of Rao'an City will only make Qi think that our army is going to cut off Qi's baggage supply again."

"I think that if we want the world to think that our army intends to destroy Qi, the only way is for the commander-in-chief to lead the army south personally."

"No matter how many troops the commander-in-chief leads south, as long as the commander-in-chief goes south, people in the world will think that our army has the intention to destroy Qi!"

Who are you?

Ge Ping?

How many people in the world today know who Ge Ping is?
In terms of deterrence, you, Ge Ping, can only be ranked in the fourth echelon at most among the current Qin generals.

If you really lead 50,000 troops south, not only will people all over the world suspect that our army has the intention to destroy Qi, they will even doubt whether you have the ability to capture Raoan City!

In Su Jiao's opinion, only Ying Chengjiao has sufficient deterrent power!
Zhang Han immediately shook his head: "No!"

"If our army wants to mislead the world into thinking that we want to destroy Qi, then we must not withdraw hastily."

"The commander-in-chief needs to stay on the Qin-Qi battlefield for at least a few months, or even half a year, before the world will truly believe that our army really wants to destroy Qi."

"However, once the commander-in-chief stays in the Qin-Qi battlefield for a long time, the armies of Dai, Qi, and Yan will be sure that the commander-in-chief is away from our main force. At that time, our army will surely face a crazy counterattack from the coalition forces!" "Our army is inferior to the enemy in strength. The reason why our army can win repeatedly is because the commander-in-chief is in command, anticipates the enemy, and commands the earth dragon. Once the commander-in-chief stays in the Qin-Qi battlefield for a long time, our army may be worried about defeat!"

In Zhang Han's opinion, Ying Chengjiao did have a very strong deterrent power, but this deterrent power should not be used for such trivial matters as camouflage strategy.

The current Qin army has no significant advantages over the coalition forces, and Ying Chengjiao has no right to act willfully.

If the commander-in-chief does not follow the main force, isn't this simply giving the enemy an opportunity to break through the main force of the Qin army?

After thinking for a moment, Su Jiao nodded in agreement: "Doctor Zhang is right!"

"Since the commander is unwilling to move, I will fight!"

"You, General..."

Strategies were proposed one after another.

But these strategies would have been severely criticized by other generals without even needing Ying Chengjiao to refute them personally.

If generals such as Su Jiao and Zhang Han were given a clear goal and asked to break the enemy's formation and capture the city or stop the enemy from defending the city, they would definitely be able to complete Ying Chengjiao's orders.

But asking them to come up with a strategy that would make people in the world mistakenly believe that they were going to attack and destroy Qi, but without actually being able to do so, was really asking too much.

After all, which serious general would think about such things?

After a long time, the generals in the tent were already thirsty and their suggestions became less and less frequent, until finally they even fell silent!

Ying Chengjiao sighed softly: "My colleagues in the court, this strategy is to fool the world!"

“It is indeed too difficult to formulate such a strategy.”

"Thank you for your concern, comrades."

Su Jiao shook his head tiredly and disappointedly, "I am not afraid of taking the trouble, I am only afraid that I have not been able to help the commander."

"I really don't know how to avoid destroying Qi while making people in the world mistakenly believe that our army intends to destroy Qi!"

"Commander-in-chief, since the court has issued such an order, haven't your colleagues in the court given a plan to implement it in full?"

Ying Chengjiao was about to shake his head, but suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and he said thoughtfully: "You are right!"

"If this matter is really extremely difficult, the court will definitely give a complete order. If there is no complete order, the king will not issue such a royal order."

"Perhaps, I am just being too stubborn."

"The king's request is not that difficult to accomplish!"

"Our army only needs to attack Qi with the determination to destroy the country, and naturally people in the world will mistakenly believe that our army intends to destroy Qi, and this does not require any guidance from the court."

"Our army only needs to withdraw from Qi before destroying the country, and naturally they won't attack and destroy Qi. Your Majesty can even put me in jail on the pretext that I disobeyed your order, lure other countries to attack our Qin, and then secretly replace the generals at the critical moment, repeating the Battle of Changping!"

The more Su Jiao, Zhang Han and others listened, the more reasonable they felt.

If not, why didn't the court give them specific military strategies to complete this order?

It was obvious that in the eyes of the court officials in the rear, this strategic goal was not as complicated as they had just thought, and they only needed to prepare according to the idea of ​​destroying Qi.

When it comes to destroying a country, how could the court officials in the rear be qualified to formulate specific military strategies for Ying Chengjiao!

Su Jiao immediately looked at Zhao Gao and asked, "General Zhao, does the court really think so?"

Zhao Gao was stunned when suddenly asked by Su Jiao.

Zhao Gao intuitively felt that there seemed to be something wrong with Ying Chengjiao's analysis, but Zhao Gao couldn't figure out what was wrong.

After a moment of hesitation, Zhao Gao spoke slowly, "When this policy was being discussed, I was in the imperial study."

"At that time, I certainly had not heard any court official mention the need to formulate a military strategy for Chang'an Jun, nor had I heard any court official say that it would be difficult to implement such a strategy."

Zhao Gao spoke quite conservatively and only talked about his own experiences.

But Zhao Gao's words further strengthened the generals' trust in Ying Chengjiao's analysis.

Ge Ping couldn't wait to ask: "May I ask the commander?"

"If our army intends to destroy Qi, what should our army do?"

"Destroy Qi?" Ying Chengjiao suddenly became alert, his eyes shining with brilliance. He quickly scanned the Kunyu map and spoke in a broken voice, "Maiqiu (near today's Shanghe County)!"

"If our army wants to destroy Qi, Maiqiu City is the best entry point!"

"I will recall Lieutenant Li Xin, Lieutenant Qiang Huai and several other brave generals who are good at defeating the enemy with lightning strikes, leaving only a few soldiers to guard the Yishui Great Wall, and then hand over the defense of the Yishui Great Wall to Deputy General Ben."

"I will lead 200,000 troops through Yiguan back to the Qin territory, passing through Gaoyang, Hejian, and Guanjin of Qin and heading straight to the Yellow River. After crossing the river, we will rush southeast and quickly capture Maiqiu City of Qi."

"After leaving behind a steady general to blockade Maiqiu City and secure our army's food supply route, the army will continue to launch a lightning attack in the southeast direction without stopping!"

Ying Chengjiao slapped Linzi City on the Kunyu map with his right hand and shouted solemnly, "In this way, our army will be able to strike within 200 miles of Linzi City before Qi can react, and threaten Qi's capital at any time!"

“By then, even if Dai Wu’an Jun finds out that I am not in Du Kang, the Qi troops under his command will be in a state of panic. Once the Qi army, which occupies the main force of the coalition forces, becomes disorderly, Dai Wu’an Jun will be unable to take care of himself and will no longer be able to attack our Great Qin.”

"Even if Dai Wu'an Jun really attacks our Great Qin, I believe that the ability of Deputy General Wang Ben is enough to stop such a chaotic army!"

Thinking about the strategy of pretending to destroy Qi, Ying Chengjiao and his generals pondered for most of the day but could not come up with a plan.

But what if we just destroy Qi?

Then Ying Chengjiao won’t be sleepy anymore!
Generals Su Jiao, Ge Ping and others became more and more excited as they listened, and finally they all bowed their hands and shouted one after another: "We will be the vanguard!"

Zhao Gao: ???
Generals, are you sure you understand what the strategic goal of this battle is...right?
