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

Chapter 921 Officials should report good news but not bad news! Qin Changan Jun was born in the year of the dog!
Qi Wangjian: Huh? ! !
The eyes of all the court officials of Da Qi suddenly widened and they turned their heads to look in the direction of the palace door. One could even hear the sound of bones rubbing against each other.

Qi Wang Jian was shocked and angry and asked, "Who is making noise outside the door?"

"Hurry and enter the palace!"

The guards quickly pushed open the palace door, and a company commander of the city gate guards (in charge of 200 people) crawled into the hall.

Unconsciously taking a step forward, Qi Wangjian stared at the city gate guard captain with his eyes fixed, and said in a cold voice: "It is you who is trying to shake the morale of the Great Qi army?!"

The company commander was both anxious and frightened and kept saying, "My lord! How dare I shake the morale of our Great Qi army!"

"Half an hour ago, a merchant came into the city in a panic, saying that his caravan was robbed by the Qin army more than 40 miles northwest of Linzi City, and all the goods and servants he brought were detained by the Qin army. He hopes that the Great Qi will do him justice."

"Although I thought this was just nonsense from a merchant, I still sent my guards to investigate."

"Yes! Before my guards could return, more and more people started shouting at the city gate, saying that they had encountered the Qin army, and that they were already 20 miles southwest of Linzi City!"

"I dare not take charge of such an important matter. I have to report it to the king and let him make the decision!"

Qi Wang Jian threw his sleeves and shouted in a voice that almost broke: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"There is no military report from Gaotang or Changcheng. How could the Qin army possibly reach within 20 miles of Linzi?"

Tian He nodded in agreement and said solemnly, "I admit that my soldiers are not as elite as the Qin army."

"Of course, Gaotang and the Great Wall are strongholds that our Great Qi has spent decades to build. Even the Qin army cannot let Gaotang and the Great Wall fall before a single military report can be sent back!"

"I think your Majesty is wise!"

After the initial panic, all the court officials came to their senses.

The city defenses of Gaotang and the Great Wall of our Great Qi are like an iron wall. Not to mention Yang Duanhe's troops, even if Ying Chengjiao personally controlled the earth dragon to attack, it would be impossible for the defenders of Gaotang and the Great Wall to fall without even a single military report being sent back.

Now there is no military report coming back from the front line, which shows that the border defenders have not yet engaged in battle with the Qin army.

The Qin army has not yet reached the border of our Great Qi, how could it be possible for it to penetrate deep into the heart of our Great Qi!
There is absolutely no such possibility!

There was a sound of sighing in the hall, and Hou Sheng was even more angry and ordered: "Take this general away!"

"Anyone who made noises at the city gates and saw the Qin army was arrested and thrown into prison, where they were severely tortured."

"We must find out what other tricks the Qin army has!"

The company commander's heart sank instantly.

He knew very well that officials should report good news but not bad news. Those who report good news can still gain some benefits even if the good news is not caused by the official, while those who report bad news will definitely be implicated even if they have nothing to do with the bad news.

However, for the sake of the country and to repay the emperor's kindness, the company commander still ran to Wu Palace in person as soon as possible, hoping to reduce the time spent on trivial matters such as reporting and conveying messages, so that the court could respond in the first time.

The company commander never expected that not only would he be implicated in this matter, but he would also be suspected of being a Qin army marshal and would be severely tortured!
The captain cried out in sorrow: "My Lord! My Lord! My Lord General!"

"I never lied, and I never had any dealings with the Qin army!"

"The most important thing for Da Qi today is to send out scouts to quickly investigate the Qin army's movements, so as to prevent Linzi from being attacked by the Qin army!"

"Please, Your Majesty, look carefully! Look carefully..."

Four guards stepped forward at the same time and dragged the crying captain out of the hall.

Qi Wang Jian ordered in a deep voice: "Please ask the Prime Minister to investigate this matter thoroughly!"

Hou Sheng immediately bowed and said, “Yes!”

King Jian of Qi looked around at all the courtiers in the hall and said, "The Qin army is indeed elite, but our Great Qi's Gaotang and the Great Wall are also extremely strong fortresses. My dear ministers, don't worry!"

"I beg you all to act quickly according to the military strategy we just decided on."

"In this battle, we, the Great Qi, will be united and will surely be able to..."

"Military emergency report!"

Qi Wangjian's words were interrupted again, and the sudden shout made Qi Wangjian's heart jump violently, and a bad premonition rose in his heart.

No problem! No problem!
Gaotang and the Great Wall are both fortresses, they will not be lost!
This military report must be the coalition military report, not the frontier military report!
Qi Wangjian subconsciously comforted himself, but he didn't realize that his voice was trembling: "Spread it!"

The palace door was pushed open again.

Under the anxious and worried gaze of Qi Wang Jian, Tian He and other Qi monarchs and ministers, a general wearing heavy armor and covered in blood floated into the hall with the help of two guards.

"Gao Wanzhong, ahem, Zhongfu, Zhu Dan, greet the king!"

As Zhu Dan moved, fresh blood gushed out of the wound and dripped down Zhu Dan's skirt to the ground, making Zhu Dan's face even paler.

But Zhu Dan ignored his injuries and looked at King Jian of Qi with pleading eyes and said, "The Qin army sent 20,000 troops to besiege Gaowan (around Yuancheng in Zouping today), and another army continued to march towards the capital. The exact number of troops is unknown."

"Your Majesty, I beg you to quickly prepare your army for battle!"

Zhu Dan's words hit Wu Gong like a stun bomb!
The king and his ministers of Qi were all shocked by Zhu Dan's words and froze in place. Their eyes gradually widened and their pupils slowly contracted. For a moment, they even lost the strength to speak!

After a few breaths, Qi Wangjian finally managed to squeeze out a sound from his throat: "Gao Wan?"

"Zhu Zhongfu said that the Qin army trapped us in Gaowan?!" How far is Gaotang from Linzi?
Four hundred miles.

How far is Gaowan from Linzi?
Hundreds of miles!

Just a hundred miles!

I was just imagining that the strong fortresses of Gaotang could keep the Qin army out of the country.

And now you tell me that the Qin army has penetrated within a hundred miles of Linzi? !

What made King Qi Jian tremble even more was that since the Qin army had already penetrated within a hundred miles of Linzi, the information that the Qin army had penetrated within twenty miles of Linzi had the possibility of coming true!
Zhu Dan nodded and said with difficulty: "At the beginning of yesterday evening (19:00), the Qin army avoided our scouts and attacked the north gate of Gaowan with knights. Fortunately, the city gate guards prevented the Qin army from taking the city in one battle."

"After the surprise attack failed, the Qin army immediately divided 20,000 troops to attack Gaowan, and the remaining troops continued to march southeast."

"I, Lord Gao Wan, am concerned about the safety of the country, so I have ordered you to lead a thousand elite troops to charge out of the city and report this news!"

King Jian of Qi felt a pain in his head, and his brain almost exploded!
The Qin army arrived at Gaowan yesterday, so it would not be difficult for them to reach the 20 miles around Linzi City today!

With the last glimmer of hope, King Jian of Qi asked hopefully, "Have you found out who the commander of the Qin army is?"

Zhu Dan's mouth was bitter, and he sighed softly: "My subordinate, I saw the Qin army's banner!"

Only the commander-in-chief can use the big banner.

The Qin army's banner is here, so is there any need to guess who is standing under it? !

Hou Sheng whispered in a trembling voice: "Mr. Qin Chang'an? It's Mr. Qin Chang'an?!"

"Right now, the coalition forces are fighting the Qin army in Dukang, and Lord Qin Chang'an is personally leading his army south to attack Linzi?!"

"How is this possible! This is impossible!"

"Could it be that Qin Chang'an Jun doesn't care about the safety of the main force of the Qin army?"

"This military report must be fake!"

The main forces of Qin and the coalition forces gathered in Du Kang to launch a decisive battle. The victory or defeat of this battle directly determined the victory or defeat of this war, and could even affect the survival of the four countries of Qin, Dai, Yan and Qi!
As the commander-in-chief of the Qin army, Ying Chengjiao did not stay in Du Kang and command the main battle with fear and trepidation, but instead led his troops south to attack Linzi of Qi?

Isn't Ying Chengjiao afraid that the coalition forces will break through the Yishui Great Wall and then rush forward to destroy Qin?

This is unreasonable!
More importantly, Qin Chang'an Jun was still doing business with me half a month ago, how come he wants to destroy my Da Qi after just half a month!

Chun Yuhu said bitterly: "I have been in frequent contact with Qin Chang'an Jun, and I know more about him."

"No other general would have taken such a risk."

"But if Qin Changan Jun did something like this, it would be quite reasonable."

“My fellow officers, please do not forget that after Prince Dan of Yan sent assassins to kill the King of Qin, Lord Chang’an of Qin actually proposed to cooperate with Lord Wu’an of Dai in exchange for a road to Yan.”

"After failing to do so, Qin Chang'an Jun defeated Zhao in one battle, but he did not take over Zhao's territory or wipe out the remnants of Zhao. Instead, he continued to lead his troops eastward, galloping and chasing after Yan Prince Dan, and only stopped fighting after Yan Prince Dan died!"

"Qin Chang'an Jun is a man who will do anything to achieve his goal. Anyone who slanders the King of Qin will be avenged by Qin Chang'an Jun at all costs!"

Chunyu Hu is a well-educated and cultured person.

If Chunyu Hu had no manners, he would definitely say that Qin Chang'an Jun was a dog!
If he wants to bite you, he will bite you to death even if he gets chopped all over!
King Jian of Qi was shocked and angry and shouted: "I have never sent assassins to kill the King of Qin! I have only broken the alliance, and have never done anything to cause blood feud between the two countries!"

"Lord Qin Chang'an, are you going to fight me to the death just because I broke my alliance?"

King Jian of Qi couldn’t understand, he really couldn’t understand!

Betraying an alliance is so common in this era that it is impossible to drive Ying Chengjiao crazy!
Chun Yu Hu shook his head and sighed helplessly: "It doesn't matter how the king views this matter."

"The King of Qin said that this hatred will not end until the country is destroyed. In the eyes of Qin Chang'an Jun, this hatred is a deep hatred that will not end until the country is destroyed!"

"With Qin Chang'an's personality, he can do anything for revenge!"

Ying Chengjiao now had the motivation to go south in person regardless of the consequences.

With Ying Chengjiao personally in command, it was possible that the Qin army suddenly appeared within twenty miles of Linzi City.

A thick feeling of fear and panic quietly enveloped Wugong.

The Gaotang line is indestructible.

The Great Wall is an iron wall.

Of course they do!
Both of these defense lines have been bypassed by the Qin army, and the Qi capital Linzi City is now facing Ying Chengjiao!
After repeatedly rushing to support Gaotang, the total force in Linzi City was only 30,000!
Qi Wangjian's lips trembled violently, and he looked at his ministers and asked, "My dear ministers!"

"Any good advice?!"

King Jian of Qi panicked.

Really panicked!
