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

Chapter 931 Where is Ying Chengjiao? How can you achieve great things if you associate with such a coward?

January 1, the sixteenth year of Qin Shi Huangdi’s reign.

The north gate of Wei County.

Under the heavy snow, 30,000 soldiers of the Dai State walked silently towards the military camp on the north side of Wei County.

Mao Sui, who was exhausted from the journey, dismounted and strode into the city. He bowed to Dai Wangjia and said solemnly, "Your Majesty!"

"I have led 10,000 border troops and 20,000 troops to attack Qin and return!"

Dai Wangjia forced out a rather tired smile and said, "Thank you, Prime Minister!"

"Without the help of the Prime Minister, I really don't know how to deal with the current predicament!"

Feeling the dull and depressing atmosphere around Dai Wangjia, Mao Sui asked with some concern: "But is there any change on the front line?"

Dai Wangjia nodded slightly and said, "Wu'an Jun just sent back a military report."

"Wu'an Jun confirmed that Qin Chang'an Jun has left Du Kang. The general leading the troops in Du Kang is Qin's deputy general Ben, the son of Qin's general Jian!"

Mao Sui was shocked: "Qin Chang'an Jun is really not in Du Kang!"

"In this case, Qin Chang'an Jun is probably leading his troops to sneak into our Great Dynasty territory!"

Mao Sui bowed his hands solemnly and said: "I advise you!"

"I will lead 15,000 troops to station at the western side of Lucheng, and the rest of the troops will be deployed to defend Wei County."

"Order all the border counties of our Great Dynasty to fortify their walls and clear the fields, set up additional checkpoints, and send more scouts. Every day, a messenger shall be sent to the county seat with the findings of the day. The county seat shall also send a messenger to Wei County every day with the memorials from various counties."

"In this way, if we fail to receive a memorial from a certain county, the court will know that the Qin army has come to the city of that county, and the court can immediately dispatch troops to provide assistance!"

Dai Wangjia nodded slightly, then sighed: "This advice from the Prime Minister is very good!"

"Unfortunately, not only do we need to guard against Qin Chang'an sneaking into our dynasty to order the Earth Dragon to turn over, we also need to guard against the main force of the Qin army crossing the mountains and rushing straight to Wei County!"

Mao Sui was greatly surprised and asked in disbelief: "Wu'an Jun is a good fighter and even defeated Qin's general Zhi!"

"Although Qin's deputy general Ben is the son of Qin's general Jian and has a profound family background, he has never been a commander-in-chief, let alone a great reputation."

"How can this general defeat my Great Dai Wu An Jun?!"

The Qin State had Wu'an Jun in front and Chang'an Jun in the back. Between the two killing gods there were also a number of generals such as Huan Ji and Wang Jian. This was enough to make all the countries in the world curse that the heaven and earth were biased.

And now you tell me that any deputy general from Qin State can fight against my Great Dai Wu'an Jun and defeat him?
This is unreasonable!
Fortunately, Dai Wangjia shook his head and said: "With Wuan Jun's ability, he will not be defeated by Qin's deputy general Ben."

"Of course, the coalition forces have more soldiers but fewer generals."

"Although the Qin army has few soldiers, it has many generals."

"Wu'an Jun was not afraid of Qin's deputy general Ben, but he was unable to divide his troops to fight against Qin's deputy general Ben. He had to gather his forces and retreat to the line from Wuyang City to Zhuocheng, completely abandoning the Dukang area!"

"Wu'an Jun was worried that Qin's deputy general Ben would avoid our coalition forces, so he raised an army in Du Kang and cooperated with Qin Chang'an Jun to attack Feihu Pass and attack our Wei County."

"So I sent an army to request the court to send more troops to Feihu Pass!"

Although Li Mu was constrained in this battle by the fact that he had no generals under his command, the King of Yan was prone to stabbing in the back, and the Qi army was not good at fighting.

But Li Mu, who has fought against the wind all his life, is best at finding the possibility of a comeback when his side is at a disadvantage.

After all, Li Mu had never fought a crushing battle in his life, all of them were battles where the weak defeated the strong!

So Li Mu was not worried about Wang Ben and the Qin army he led.

Li Mu was only worried about the disappeared Ying Chengjiao!
Mao Sui's brows furrowed deeply: "What Wu'an Jun advised is indeed something that we must consider."

"Yes, General Qin Wu Zheng is leading his troops to threaten the west of our Great Dynasty. We have to defend the western line of defense!"

"If we allocate more troops to strengthen the defense of Feihu Pass, I am afraid that Wei County will be left empty!"

"I believe that the most urgent task now is to find out where Qin Chang'an is headed."

"Otherwise, our great army alone will not be able to protect our great nation's safety!"

Dai Wangjia sighed softly and said, "I also think so."

"When you and Wu'an Jun said that Qin might change its generals before the battle, I ordered all counties to send more scouts to investigate in detail."

"Yes! To this day, we still haven't found any trace of Qin Chang'an!"

At the city gate, the rulers and ministers of Dai once again fell into a dull and depressing atmosphere.

Ying Chengjiao wandered around the State of Dai like a ghost, and threatened the heart of the State of Dai like a sword that had never been unsheathed.

I can’t see it, I can’t touch it, I don’t know where it is, and I don’t know where it wants to go.

But it brought an overwhelming fear and worry to the rulers and ministers of Dai!
He suppressed his worries and forced a smile on Wang Jia's behalf, saying, "This matter is indeed serious, but we should think about it carefully."

"My dear, you have traveled over a thousand miles in just half a month. You must be exhausted."

"I have already prepared a grand banquet in the palace. You and I must not return until we are drunk!"

Mao Sui also temporarily put aside his worries and thanked him by bowing his hands: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Just when the king and his ministers were getting along, ten guards came galloping on their horses.

Seeing Dai Wangjia in his crown from afar, the leading guard shouted anxiously, "Urgent report on the Linzi spy!"

Dai Wangjia suddenly turned around and shouted, "Spread it!"

After a thorough identity check, the leading candidate quickly ran to Dai Wangjia, bowed and said repeatedly: "Your Majesty!"

"On December 20th of the second year of King Dai's reign, Qin Chang'an Jun, along with his commander Su Jiao and other brave generals, led an army of 100,000 to launch a surprise attack on the Qi capital Linzi!"

"That day, the King of Qi surrendered!"

"General He of Qi, Secretary of State Chunyu Hu of Qi and other ministers of Qi raised their own troops to protect the country, but the Qi army turned around and attacked General He's troops and annihilated them all!"

Dai Wang Jia, who had not had a good night's sleep since Li Mu set out on the Northern Expedition and had been anxious and worried every day since the Zheng County earthquake, was finally devastated by the bad news.

Dai Wangjia's vision suddenly turned dark.

Holding onto Mao Sui tightly to prevent himself from falling, Dai Wangjia, who had not yet regained his vision, shouted angrily: "What did you say?" "King Qi, surrender?!"

There was also a hint of indignation in the voice of the waiter: "Yes!"

"When the King of Qi learned that the Lord of Qin Chang'an was leading a hundred thousand troops to the city, he chose to surrender."

"When he left the city, he actually jogged all the way to Qin."

"As if he was afraid of being a little late!"

Dai Wangjia tightly grasped Mao Sui's arm and shouted in shock and anger: "King Qi, you are a coward!"

"Even if the Linzi defenders are inferior to the Qin army, the city of Linzi is strong, and we can hold the city and wait for our army to come to our rescue!"

"But the King of Qi surrendered without a fight?!"

"No wonder my father often scolds the kings."

"How can you achieve great things if you associate with such a coward?"

The former King Jia of Dai could not understand King Yan of Zhao's anger and ridicule towards Han, Wei, Chu, Yan and Qi, and even advised King Yan of Zhao many times to be careful in his words and actions so as not to damage diplomatic relations.

But now, King Jia of Dai finally understood the anger and hatred that King Yan of Zhao felt in the past.

As the King of Dai, King Jia of Dai could not interfere in the internal affairs of Qi, and had no control over whether King Jian of Qi surrendered.

But you should at least inform your allies before you surrender!

Now the coalition forces only have the Dai and Yan armies left. How can they resist the Qin army?!

King Jian of Qi's surrender without a fight not only harmed the Qi country, but also harmed the Dai and Yan countries!

"King Qi, you have done great harm to our great dynasty!"

"If our great country is destroyed, the fault will all be on the King of Qi!!!"

Dai Wangjia roared with grief and anger, and a trace of crimson liquid gushed out from his throat!

Red plum blossoms fell on the white snow, and Dai Wangjia's body slowly fell down!

"Your Majesty!"

"Is the king okay?!"

"Where is the imperial physician?! Come and treat the king immediately!"

Mao Sui hugged Dai Wangjia tightly, roaring heart-wrenchingly and calling for a doctor.

But before the doctor arrived, Dai Wangjia grabbed Mao Sui's arm tightly again and ordered in a hoarse voice: "Help me up!"

Mao Sui was so happy that he cried, "Is the king okay?"

Dai Wangjia said hoarsely: "I am fine!"

Although it was still pitch black in front of his eyes, although his heart felt as if it was being grasped by someone, and although his hands and feet were ice-cold, Dai Wangjia did not dare to fall down, or even faint.

He knew very well that once he fell, the country of Dai would also fall!
Relying on Mao Sui's strength, he barely stood up straight, waved his hand, and said solemnly: "No need to gather around me."

"The King of Qi's request for surrender has directly changed the current situation in the world!"

"My dear ministers, please think about this quickly. What should our great generation do?!"

Mao Sui also knew the difference between the important and the unimportant. While supporting Dai Wangjia, he looked at the guard and asked in a deep voice: "You just said that Qin Chang'an Jun personally led 100,000 troops to the city of Linzi?"

"Is this news credible?"

The waiter hurriedly said: "It's credible!"

"After discussing with Qi Wai Shi Hu, Qin Chang'an Jun was furious and personally led 10,000 soldiers to attack the southwest gate of Linzi Wangcheng."

"When the King of Qi asked for surrender, it was Qin Chang'an Jun who personally presided over the acceptance of the surrender."

"So, not only did I see Lord Qin Chang'an with my own eyes, but most of my colleagues who sneaked into Linzi also saw Lord Qin Chang'an with their own eyes!"

Mao Sui nodded and said, "So, after leaving Du Kang, Qin Chang'an Jun did not lead his troops to sneak into our Great Dai territory, but instead led his troops to attack Linzi City!"

"For my generation, this is good news."

Zhao Wuji said in a deep voice: "The bad news is that the Qi army took the initiative to attack General He and other important officials of Qi without any orders!"

"This is enough to prove that the Qi Linzi garrison did not surrender to the Qin army at the order of the King of Qi, but surrendered voluntarily. In this way, Qin Chang'an Jun only needs to slightly reorganize the Qi Linzi garrison and use this army for his own purposes."

"Qin Chang'an conquered Linzi without a fight, not only did he not lose a single soldier, but he gained tens of thousands of soldiers!"

"More importantly, if the Qi Linzi defenders acted like this, would the soldiers Qi sent to the coalition army also act like this?"

Mao Sui glanced at Zhao Wuji speechlessly.

I know you can talk, but can't you choose the right time?

Do you have to deal a critical blow to the King when he is so weak?
If the king faints again, can you take responsibility?
Fortunately, King Jia of Dai was stronger than Mao Sui had imagined.

Grabbing Mao Sui's arm more forcefully, Dai Wangjia said in a deep voice: "We must guard against what Zongzheng is worried about!"

"I think that the reason why the Qi army took the initiative to defect to Qin might be because they trusted Qin Chang'an Jun, but more importantly, they did not trust the King of Qi!"

"Inform Wu'an Jun to be on high alert to prevent a surprise attack by the Qin army. Immediately control the army and make sure no information is passed inside or outside."

"I will immediately send lobbyists to Wu'an Jun's army to persuade the Qi army to return to our Great Dynasty!"

Since the Qi army could switch to the Qin State, it is also possible that they could switch to the Dai State.

Instead of letting the Qi army in the coalition transform into the Qin army to attack the Dai State, it is better to strike first and transform the Qi army in the coalition into the Dai army and hand it over to Li Mu for command, so as to further enhance the combat effectiveness of the Dai State!
Mao Sui was shocked and said excitedly: "If I can really persuade the Qi army to become our great generals."

"Then the King of Qi's request for surrender will bring more benefits than disadvantages to our great dynasty!"

Below Mao Sui, the crustal plates also nodded in agreement!
