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

Chapter 924: Crying? Crying is also a time! Killing the heroic figure of the overlord, only then can you have the face to meet the previous kings!
Chunyu Hu wept bitterly and begged, "I beg Lord Chang'an of Qin to spare Qi a glimmer of hope, as you were once the Left Prime Minister of Qi!"

"Whatever the Qin State needs, the Qi State will grant it to you!"

"Lord Chang'an of Qin! Today, the troops of Qi are still forming an alliance with Dai and Yan."

"If Qin Chang'an Jun needs anything, the foreign ministers will immediately persuade our king to send an order to the crown prince, and let the crown prince lead our Qi army to attack Dai and Yan, and help the great Qin destroy Dai and Yan!"

"Then, I, the Great Qi, will ask you to be a minister of Qin and help the Great Qin conquer the world in one battle, and completely realize the great wish of unifying the world!"

Although the Qi army was not good at fighting, they had a large number of soldiers!
On the other hand, the Yan army had suffered severe damage, and the Dai army's rear food supply was cut off. The Qi army might not be able to attack and destroy the Dai and Yan armies, but it would not be a problem to create chaos and help Wang Ben attack and destroy the Dai and Yan armies.

Once Ying Chengjiao agrees, Qi will help Qin accomplish the great cause of unifying the world!
This condition is the bottom line for the king and his ministers of Qi.

Although this move would make Qi bear the reputation of being unfaithful and ungrateful like Yan and be reviled by the people of the world, Qi would also officially become a vassal state of Qin and lose its autonomy from then on.

But even so, the State of Qi could at least preserve its country and ancestral temple!
However, facing this humiliating condition, Ying Chengjiao was quite dissatisfied and said in a serious tone: "I find it dirty!"

Who wants the territories of Dai and Yan?

Who would be willing to take your Qi territory?
The reason why I personally led the army south is to announce to the world our Great Qin's determination to attack Dai, weaken Yan, and destroy Qi, so as to prevent the territories of Dai, Yan, and Qi from becoming the territories of our Great Qin.

If Qi State really does this, what should I do with my royal decree?
Isn't Qi State harming me?
Chunyu Hu was filled with even more despair. He was so determined that he bowed and cried, "If the King of Qin and the Lord of Qin Chang'an are still so angry with my king!"

"I am willing to unite with all the court officials to force my king to abdicate and jointly promote the third prince as the King of Qi!"

"The third young master is a disciple of Qin Chang'an Jun. He has been studying in the Qin Military Academy for a long time. He is not only loyal to the Qin State, but also bears the responsibility of a master and a disciple."

"The Third Prince is the King of Qi, so he will definitely live up to the Qin Empire in his lifetime!"

Chunyu Hu's conditions have exceeded the bottom line of Qi's monarch and ministers, and even exceeded the bottom line of the world's unspoken rules!
As a subject, Chunyu Hu's mention of usurping the throne in front of Ying Chengjiao was absolutely treasonous.

Ever since these words were spoken, King Jian of Qi, Tian Zhen and even Ying Zheng would not allow Chunyu Hu to live any longer!
Chunyu Hu will be cursed for eternity in history!
But in order to save the country of Qi, Chunyu Hu risked his life!
However, Ying Chengjiao was startled and shouted angrily: "Stop making so much noise and crying!"

If you want to die, don't do it after having a conversation with me on the battlefield!
If you die too, wouldn't the misunderstanding of me by the people of the world be further deepened?

Chun Yu Hu cried out with tears in his eyes: "Qin..."

Fearing that Chun Yu Hu would seek death again, Ying Chengjiao interrupted Chun Yu Hu and ordered in a deep voice: "Get the clepsydra and fill it with water!"

Peng Cheng immediately took out a bronze clepsydra and placed it in front of the Qin army formation and poured clean water into it.

Looking at the slowly dripping water, Ying Chengjiao looked at Chunyu Hu coldly and asked, "Crying?"

"Crying also counts as time!"

Chunyu Hu was suddenly caught in a dilemma.

If Chunyu Hu returns immediately, this lobbying will be declared a failure, Linzi City will find it difficult to hold out until the reinforcements return, and the Qi State will be in danger.

If Chunyu Hu continues to lobby, Linzi City will not have enough time to prepare. If his lobbying fails, the Qi State may be destroyed today!

The survival of the country rested entirely on Chunyu Hu's shoulders, and the heavy pressure made Chunyu Hu breathless.

But looking at Ying Chengjiao's cold face that showed no sign of change, Chunyu Hu finally bowed and said, "What I said before was all from the bottom of my heart."

"Please think twice, Lord Qin Chang'an!"

Taking a last look at Ying Chengjiao's cold face, Chunyu Hu sighed and ran quickly towards Linzi City.

Watching Chunyu Hu running into the city gate, Ying Chengjiao's expression no longer turned cold, and he even undisguisedly breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally, I'm back."

"I just hope Chunyu Waishi will listen to me and persuade the King of Qi to organize the city defense as I said!"

"No one is allowed to spread Chunyu Waishi's words today. Anyone who disobeys my order will be executed!"

In order to save the state of Qi and to save Chunyu Hu's life.

Ying Chengjiao really put in a lot of effort!
Su Jiao, Li Xin and other generals also understood what Ying Chengjiao wanted, and they all bowed with their hands, trying not to smile: "Yes!"

Ying Chengjiao turned to look at the generals and said excitedly: "Chunyu Waishi's visit can be said to have provided a good opportunity for our army."

"Two hours later, I will pretend to be angered by Chunyu Waishi and lead only 10,000 brave warriors to attack the west gate of Linzi City."

"Our army has just traveled through mountains and rivers to reach Linzi City today. The soldiers are exhausted and unable to fight. This is understandable."

"So, once the Qi army leaves the city, we will immediately feign defeat and retreat!"

"If I lose this battle, it will definitely deal a heavy blow to the morale of our army."

"In this way, our army can rest for three to five days without causing suspicion among the people of the world!"

Gaotang is only 400 miles away from Linzi. Even if the time for the messenger to ask for help is taken into account, it is expected that they will arrive at Linzi City within ten days. This means that the Qin army only has three days to attack the city.

It is reasonable that we cannot capture Linzi City within ten days!
Zhao Gao finally saw the possibility of fulfilling Wang's order, and couldn't wait to excitedly bow: "Master, you are wise!"

Ying Chengjiao waved his hand to stop Zhao Gao and said in a deep voice: "Of course, war is no joke!"

"This strategy is effective, but it is quite dangerous!"

"Commander Su Jiao, Commander Jing Po, can I trust you two completely?"

Although Ying Chengjiao despised Qi strategically, Qi was ultimately one of the Five Hegemons of the past.

The generals of Qi were not good at fighting, but the nobles, Confucian scholars and knights of Qi were sharp warriors!
Leading only 10,000 soldiers to march outside Linzi City to undertake the mission of feigning defeat and luring the enemy was a very dangerous task, and Ying Chengjiao couldn't help but feel worried.

But Ying Chengjiao had no choice, this was the best way to complete Wang Ling, and it was the only chance that would never come back if missed!

Su Jiao and Jing Po bowed their hands loudly and said, "We are willing to die for our commander!"

If he could use his life to exchange for Ying Chengjiao's life, Su Jiao would definitely not hesitate at all, and Jingpo would only be one step faster than Su Jiao!
Ying Chengjiao nodded slightly and said solemnly: "Order!"

"Gather the best troops in the army and place them under the command of Commander Su Jiao and Commander Jing Po." "Order Commander Su Jiao and Commander Jing Po to lead the elite troops in the army to form a battle line at the front of our army."

"Once you see the three red flags leaning back simultaneously, leave the battlefield immediately and rush to the main banner to rescue me!"

"Order Lieutenant Li Xin to lead his troops to line up on the left side of the front army, and Lieutenant Xi Feng to lead his troops to line up on the right side of the front army."

"Once Commandant Su Jiao and Commandant Jing Po set out, immediately lead the army to stop the Qi army's pursuit."

"The remaining generals, lead your troops to retreat immediately to facilitate my escape, and wait for my orders at any time."

"No mistakes!"

All the Qin army generals bowed their hands and shouted solemnly: "Yes!"
-
Two quarters of an hour later, Chunyu Hu, who had changed his war horse at the city gate, finally galloped into the Wu Palace.

Ignoring the guards' obstruction and King Jian of Qi's mood, Chunyu Hu galloped all the way to the door of the hall, dismounted from his horse, and then pushed the door open with both hands.

King Jian of Qi suddenly raised his head and looked towards the palace door, and asked with a worried and expectant heart: "My dear..."

Before Qi Wangjian could finish, Chunyu Hu had already fallen to his knees, crying out in grief: "Your Majesty! Qin Chang'an Jun refused to accept my request to be a minister!"

King Jian of Qi's heart sank as he asked repeatedly, "Did you tell Lord Chang'an of Qin that my great Qi is willing to help the Qin army defeat the armies of Dai and Yan, and then I will use this merit to become a vassal of Qin?"

"In this way, it will be easy for Qin to unify the world!"

Chunyu Hu said bitterly: "I have already made it clear!"

"However, Qin Chang'an Jun resolutely refused to agree. This advice could not even calm Qin Chang'an Jun's anger."

"Qin Chang'an said that he would lead his army to attack Linzi in two hours!"

King Jian of Qi couldn't believe it and asked at the top of his voice: "Unify the world!"

"Will the King of Qin and the Lord of Qin Chang'an really be indifferent to the unification of the world?"

"That's unifying the world!"

This is the great wish of our great Qi kings!

If King Qi Jian was given the opportunity to unify the world, even if he died on the day of unification, he would die without regrets!
But now, King Jian of Qi has almost personally offered the opportunity to unify the world, but Ying Chengjiao is dismissive? !

In shock, King Jian of Qi even ignored the fact that Ying Chengjiao was about to launch an attack on Linzi City in two hours!
Hou Sheng sighed bitterly, "If Your Majesty had asked me to serve as a minister of Qin when I first made a remonstrance, Qin would have gladly agreed, and would have rewarded Your Majesty generously, and might even have granted Your Majesty a fiefdom of thousands of miles!"

"If Your Majesty asks me to serve as a minister of Qin when I submit my second remonstrance, Qin will agree, but I am afraid it will be difficult to grant Your Majesty another fiefdom."

"Because at that time, our Great Qi provided great assistance to Qin in unifying the world."

"But now, my king!"

"The time for Qin to unify the world is in sight. Your Majesty, if you invite me to be your minister, it will indeed help Qin, but it is just icing on the cake. How can Qin bear the anger of my Great Qi's betrayal and pay the price of a royal title in exchange for this help?"

King Qi Jian was struck by lightning. He staggered back two steps and finally sat down on the ground. Complex emotions surged at the same time, making King Qi Jian's eyes look dull and lifeless.

The unified world that he had always dreamed of but never achieved was now within reach for Ying Zheng.

The strength he had accumulated through his life-long struggle was just icing on the cake for Ying Zheng!
Chunyu Hu hurried forward to help King Jian of Qi up, and repeatedly said, "Your Majesty!"

"Qin Chang'an will lead his army to attack Linzi in two hours!"

"What should we do with Great Qi? Please give me your instructions, Your Majesty!"

Tian He said angrily: "What else can we do?"

"Since the Qin army wants to fight, then fight!"

"I am willing to offer all my family soldiers and servants to lead my soldiers to fight the Qin army to the death!"

"As long as Linzi City can hold out until the reinforcements return, Qin Chang'an will surely suffer the consequences of underestimating the enemy and advancing rashly!"

Qi Wangjian said in a bitter and desperate voice: "Hold on until the reinforcements return?"

"How can we persist?!"

"Qin Chang'an Jun only needs to order the Earth Dragon to turn over in Linzi City first, and then send 100,000 elite troops to swarm in, and our Linzi City will be conquered at any time!"

Tian He couldn't bear to see King Jian of Qi being so discouraged, so he shouted in an increasingly angry voice, "I also know that it is difficult for our army to win."

"Yes! If Qin does not accept the request for peace and to be a vassal, what else can we do?"

"The only way is to fight to the death!"

"Even if our Great Qi is destroyed, we must fight to be the overlord of Great Qi, so that we can face the kings of all generations in the underworld!"

"The war is about to begin. Your Majesty should calm down and be confident. Only then will our army have a chance of victory!"

Tian He said a lot, but King Jian of Qi didn't listen at all.

He thought of the famous kings who had lost their countries, such as King Fu Chu of Chu, King Qi of Chu, and King Qian of Zhao.

After a comprehensive comparison, King Jian of Qi spoke softly: "Go to the ancestral temple."

Tian He was delighted and asked excitedly, "Your Majesty, do you intend to go to the ancestral temple to ask for the blessing of the previous kings, and then fight a desperate battle with the Qin State?"

"I will go and gather all the generals to watch the ceremony!"

Tian He turned around immediately, but before he could take a step, he heard the sighing voice of Qi Wangjian behind him: "Take the jade for sacrifice!"
