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

Chapter 929: The weather is getting cold, put on more clothes! The dragon and tiger warriors of Da Qi will fight to the death!

Hou Sheng, Sun Ping and other Qi ministers were all stunned.

Although in the past, Ying Chengjiao would burn the coffin on the spot when he accepted surrender.

But for the vast majority of generals, burning the coffin does require reporting to the king for instructions.

Because the burning of the coffin meant that King Jian of Qi had died at the legal level. From now on, there would be no more King Jian of Qi in the world, only Tian Jian!

Theoretically, even Ying Zheng could not punish Tian Jian for what King Jian of Qi did, after all, they were two different people! So burning the coffin also showed that the past was written off and the Qin Dynasty would not impose any other punishment on King Jian of Qi.

Ordinary generals cannot make such a big decision!

But getting jade is different!
Take the sacrificial jade to gain the sky (the power of sacrifice), take the Kunyu map to gain the land (the ownership of the land territory), take the jade seal to gain people (the power to control the subjects). This is the power that the surrendering party must hand over, and it is also the power that the surrendering party must demand.

If any one of the three is missing, it cannot be considered unconditional surrender!

As a general who has repeatedly accepted surrender requests from enemy countries and the person most familiar with the surrender process in the world, Ying Chengjiao should not be unaware of such common sense, and should not make such a low-level mistake!
Hou Sheng was surprised and asked: "Changan Jun, what are you doing..."

Ying Chengjiao asked impatiently: "Isn't what I said clear enough?"

"Imprison yourself in Wu Palace immediately!"

Our scouts will definitely not be able to outrun the Qi reinforcements, and the Qi reinforcements will definitely arrive in Linzi City before Wang Ling!
As long as you stay in Wu Palace obediently, King Jian of Qi, who still holds the status of King of Qi and the legitimacy of the monarch, can command the reinforcements of Qi and drive our army out of Linzi!

If you don't stay in Wu Palace honestly, but organize a counterattack force, you can also take advantage of our army's "unpreparedness" and drive our army out of Linzi!

I have already prepared the opportunities and conditions for you.

Go and fight for the Qi country all your life!

"Woo woo?" King Jian of Qi, holding a jade disk in his mouth, looked up at Ying Chengjiao, his eyes filled with confusion and urgency.

Hou Sheng pulled down the skirt of Qi Wang Jian and said, "We all obey the orders of the Left Prime Minister!"

"I beg you, Lord Chang'an, to send a capable officer to escort the King of Qi back to the palace."

Before leaving, Hou Sheng had sent people back to his mansion to pack all the treasures he had accumulated over the years, and he also asked King Jian of Qi to secretly transport a batch of treasures to Hou Sheng's mansion.

And Hou Sheng's words were implicitly hinting that Ying Chengjiao should send a confidant into the city to hand over all the treasures prepared by King Jian of Qi and Hou Sheng to this confidant, and then give them to Ying Chengjiao.

But Ying Chengjiao's ideas were completely on different channels from Hou Sheng's, and he could not understand Hou Sheng's hidden meaning at all.

Ying Chengjiao waved his hand unhappily: "No need to do that."

"You can just take the King of Qi and imprison him in Wu Palace."

Hou Sheng had no choice but to take a few steps forward and lower his voice and said, "I am worried about the chaos in the city!"

"Only if Lord Chang'an sends his trusted confidants to escort him can he be safe. Maybe there will be some unexpected surprises!"

Hou Sheng gave the most obvious hint and even winked at Ying Chengjiao at the end.

Then Hou Sheng saw Ying Chengjiao's eyes suddenly light up.

There might be chaos in the city?
Isn't the whole State of Qi united in wanting to surrender?
This is really... great!

Ying Chengjiao thought for a moment and came up with a better plan. His voice suddenly became sincere and gentle: "The King of Qi is the king after all. How dare I neglect him?"

"Since there may be chaos in the city, I will personally escort the King of Qi to Wu Palace!"

Ying Chengjiao, the commander-in-chief, was ambushed in Linzi City and was seriously injured, so he had to lead his troops to retreat.

This script sounds so logical!

Hou Sheng was slightly startled, then he happily bowed his hands and said, "I, the surrendered minister, thank you, Lord Chang'an!"

Ying Chengjiao shouted in an excited voice: "Pass on my order!"

"Commander Su Jiao led his troops to guard the southwest gate of the royal city. Commander Li Xin led his troops to line up inside the southwest gate of the royal city to be on guard. Commander..."

"Bafu, Guafu, organize your soldiers and follow me and Doctor Zhao to escort the King of Qi to Wu Palace!"

All the generals of the Qin army bowed excitedly and said, "Yes!"

Ying Chengjiao dismounted and walked quickly towards King Jian of Qi, shouting, "Where is the crown and robes of the King of Qi?"

Hou Xun hurried forward and presented the crown and robes of King Jian of Qi with both hands.

Ying Chengjiao took the crown and walked to the side of King Jian of Qi. He personally put the crown on King Jian and said in a warm voice, "It's getting cold. Put on some more clothes."

Qi Wangjian's eyes widened and he dodged immediately: "Woo woo woo!"

I will not wear this crown!

Ying Chengjiao persuaded him gently: "Although the King of Qi has surrendered, he is still the king after all."

"As a king, it is only natural for you to wear a crown!"

"Besides, the weather is cold now, and we, as foreign officials, cannot bear to see the King of Qi freeze to death in the snow!"

"Come on, come on!"

"I will personally help the King of Qi change his clothes!"

Ying Chengjiao grabbed Qi Wangjian's shoulders and pulled him back, and with his other hand he draped the crown on Qi Wangjian in a rather rough manner, completing the violent version of putting on the yellow robe!

Qi Wangjian's eyes were red, and he looked at Ying Chengjiao with a pleading look: "Wuwuwu~~~"

I only want to be a surrendered vassal, but I see that you clearly want to make me a prisoner!
Hou Sheng, Sun Ping and other Qi officials all bowed and said, "Thank you, Left Prime Minister!"

Ying Chengjiao shook his head gently: "No need to be polite."

"Let's go into the city!"

Holding the long spear tightly in his right hand and holding King Jian of Qi in his left hand, Ying Chengjiao headed towards Linzi city first.

When Ying Chengjiao stepped through the city gate, the soldiers guarding the city could no longer hold back and cheered excitedly: "We are here to meet the Left Prime Minister!"

Looking up at the Qi army defenders on the city wall, who were bending over and clasping their hands like they were cutting wheat, Ying Chengjiao's mouth twitched slightly. You guys, you really made this general suffer!

However, facing such popular sentiments, Ying Chengjiao could not disappoint them, so he could only force a smile and nod in response, "Hello, comrades!"

As he walked and returned the greetings, Ying Chengjiao's face was almost frozen with smiles.

It was not until they reached a hundred feet west of Wu Palace that the cheers of the Qi army soldiers finally dissipated.

Instead, there is a strong sense of solemnity!

"How dare the enemy general insult my king like this!" Looking at King Jian of Qi, whose clothes were in disarray and whose shoulders were pinched by Ying Chengjiao, Tian Yu shouted angrily with gritted teeth.

Chunyu Hu sighed bitterly: "If we, the ministers, were good at fighting, we would not have given Qin Chang'an Jun the opportunity to attack Linzi City."

"How could the king suffer such humiliation?"

"It is our incompetence that has put the King in such danger!"

Gripping the spear in his hand tightly, Chunyu Hu looked at Qi Wangjian with sad eyes and said, "My lord is humiliated! I shall die!"

"Chun Yu knows that we may not be able to win, but we must at least let the Qin people know that there are still people in the Great Qi who dare to die!"

"If Qin continues to humiliate our king, there will definitely be people like us in Great Qi who will fight for our king!"

Tian He held the halberd in both hands and said in a deep voice: "We are not without a chance of victory!"

Tian He walked forward slowly, roaring angrily: "Second brother!"

"Although the Qin army is strong, Qin Chang'an Jun dared to lead only a thousand soldiers to penetrate into our Linzi city!"

"This is a good opportunity to save the king, a good opportunity to support the country, and even a good opportunity to destroy the prestige of Qin!"

"Follow me and fight to the death!"

Chunyu Hu and more than 20 important officials, more than 100 officials, and hundreds of children of the great families in Linzi led more than 8,000 family soldiers, servants, and retainers from various mansions and roared in unison:

"Fight to the death! Fight to the death!"

Listening to the deafening shouts and looking at the family soldiers and servants rushing towards him, Ying Chengjiao couldn't suppress the smile: "Is this the riot in the city that the Prime Minister mentioned?!"

Unexpectedly!

Not all the people in Qi are good-for-nothings, there are still some capable people!
Hou Sheng was about to go crazy, and he kept bowing and saying, "This chaos has nothing to do with me, the surrendered minister! It has nothing to do with my king! We know nothing about this chaos!"

"The leader is Tian He, the general of Qi. I will go and persuade him to surrender!"

Ying Chengjiao waved his hand and said in a terse voice: "No need!"

"It is a good opportunity to sacrifice the lives of these traitors to our army's banner!"

"House soldiers, listen to my orders!"

"Follow me..."

However, before Ying Chengjiao finished his performance, a burst of excited roars completely suppressed Ying Chengjiao's voice.

"Protect the Left Prime Minister!!!"

Ying Chengjiao looked back in shock and saw Gao Shuang running towards him with a mountain axe in his hand. In the blink of an eye, he ran to Ying Chengjiao's side.

Without stopping, Gao Shuang turned to Ying Chengjiao and gave him a silly smile, saying loudly: "Left Prime Minister, I am late for your escort! Please forgive me!"

"I will kill all the invading enemies for you, Commander!"

Ying Chengyu:...

Oh no!
I didn't ask you to come and protect me!

I have not confiscated your weapons only to give you the strength to fight again, not to let you destroy my plan!
But Ying Chengjiao no longer had the chance to speak.

Following Gao Shuang, Tian Dan rode up on horseback, holding his spear in hand, and shouted angrily, "I am Tian Dan, a general under the commander-in-chief! Who dares to hurt my commander-in-chief?"

With the help of the speed of his warhorse, Tian Dan passed Gao Shuang and stabbed the soldiers under Tian He's command with the spear in his hand mercilessly!
Tian He was furious when he saw this and shouted, "Tian Dan! You are unworthy of being a member of the royal family!"

A long spear pierced Tian Dan's left arm, leaving his battle robe stained with blood.

But Tian Dan did not retreat, and screamed like a mad demon, "Don't worry about my injuries!"

"Soldiers! Fight to the death!"

Bi Yong quickly came to Tian Dan's side and roared proudly: "Where are the Dragon and Tiger Warriors?"

"Form a formation! Move forward! Fight to the death!"

Bi Yong, Tian Heng... a series of familiar figures rushed forward from Ying Chengjiao's side, only slowing down slightly and shouting out their names loudly when passing by Ying Chengjiao.

In a blink of an eye, thousands of Qi soldiers rushed towards Tian He's troops, making the originally wide main road of the royal city seem quite crowded.

They were running forward breathless and had not yet formed a battle formation. As soon as they came into contact with Tian He's troops, they suffered considerable casualties.

But no one took even a step back!
Bi Yong and dozens of other Dragon and Tiger warriors were at the forefront, struggling to hold the battle line.

After being injured, generals such as Tian Dan and Tian Heng retreated to the second line and commanded the various troops to form a battle formation on the spot. After the formation was completed, they quickly recruited dragon and tiger warriors as the vanguard and launched a fearless and fierce attack!

They didn't care about sacrifice or death, because behind them, there were at least 20,000 Qi troops on the way!

Tian He, who was surrounded, roared in despair and anger: "You are all ashamed to eat the grain of our Great Qi!"

Ying Chengjiao was also confused, and murmured in a lost voice: "You guys are using your fearless energy in the wrong place!!!"

When it's time to be fearless and courageous, you should surrender on the spot.

When you should be behaving yourself, you spontaneously start a fight to the death?
Do you have a grudge against me?
Suddenly, Ying Chengjiao's heart trembled, and he hurriedly shouted: "We must save Chunyu Waishi's life!!!"
