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

Chapter 937: Where are the Qi army? Where are the Dai army? Where are my + allies? I must be dreaming!

January 8, the sixteenth year of the reign of Qin Shi Huang.

Meal time (7:00).

Wearing five layers of silk lining, heavy armor with leather sole and copper nails in the middle, and a double-layer tiger skin cloak on the outside, King Xi of Yan walked out of the royal tent holding a copper hand warmer in both hands.

The cold air blowing in his face made Prince Xi of Yan frown, and the two eunuchs hurriedly brought another tiger-skin cloak.

Prince Xi of Yan shook his head slightly and looked at a eunuch beside him. The eunuch hurriedly came forward with a handheld copper stove and served the fish soup that had been on the stove.

Taking the fish soup with one hand, King Yan sipped the milky white fish soup in small sips.

"Hiss Liu~"

"Puff puff~"

"Whoo~~~"

Spitting out the fish meat that had not been filtered clean, and pouring the warm and mellow fish soup into his stomach, King Yan happily exhaled a mouthful of satisfied white mist.

The eunuch took the soup bowl wisely and went into the big tent with other colleagues. They brought out all the leftover breakfast food of Prince Xi of Yan, including stewed mutton and braised venison. Then they heard Prince Xi of Yan's sigh.

"The days of fighting outside are really hard!"

"The King of Qi can send his crown prince to fight, the King of Qin can send his younger brother to fight, and even the King of Dai can send his old ministers to fight."

"Even though I have regained my strength, I still have to ride on the battlefield. How miserable it is!"

All the eunuchs looked at each other with their eyes and noses, pretending that they heard nothing, and continued to walk out with the food in their hands.

The old ministers of the previous dynasty who were capable of going on the expedition were sent away by the King of Yan in joy, and some were squandered, and now there is no one available.

All the royal family members of Yan State who were capable of going on the expedition died at the hands of King Xi of Yan.

Whoever interrupts this topic will die!
Fortunately, Prince Xi of Yan did not expect these eunuchs and guards to say anything, so he casually ordered, "Prepare the horses."

"Follow me to inspect the military camp!"

King Xi of Yan was not a famous general, but he was also a qualified general.

Driving his warhorse back and forth in the Yan army camp, King Xi of Yan carefully confirmed whether the middle and high-level generals had arranged the camp defense according to his will. From time to time, he would stop and greet the low-level soldiers cordially, and leave a gentle and loving smile to the low-level and grassroots soldiers to consolidate his image in the hearts of the soldiers.

But when King Xi of Yan inspected the edge of the Yan army camp, he frowned unconsciously and asked, "Have you seen the soldiers of the coalition army patrolling the camp?"

Yan An and other generals were slightly startled when they heard this, and then all looked stunned.

Ever since Zheng Anqi and other immortals were captured, Li Mu has implemented strict regulations on military camp control. When the coalition forces retreated to the northwest corner of Du Kang and the defense range was suddenly reduced, Li Mu's control over the military camp was taken to a higher level.

More than 20,000 elite soldiers of the Dai Army were organized into patrol teams, which patrolled outside each military camp day and night, and punished anyone who left the military camp without the order of General Li Mu.

All will be beheaded, immediately!
King Xi of Yan was quite dissatisfied with this, but considering that Li Mu was the commander-in-chief of the coalition after all, it would be easier for the coalition to win with unified orders. So King Xi of Yan took the lead in maintaining Li Mu's control regulations - it was definitely not because Yan had suffered two major defeats, King Xi's wrong command led to the death of tens of thousands of elite Yan troops including Qi Pao, and he secretly withheld food and grass transported by the two countries of Dai and Qi and was discovered by Li Mu, and other reasons!

On weekdays, the soldiers of the Yan army often glared at the soldiers of the Dai army who were patrolling the camp, thinking that they were using chicken feathers as a token of authority.

But now, where are the soldiers of the Dai army patrolling the camp?

Yan An stepped forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, I have not found any soldiers patrolling the camp today!"

"Think carefully, I didn't seem to notice the soldiers patrolling the camp yesterday!"

King Yanxi sat up straight, his eyes filled with a bit of solemnity: "The war situation has changed! The alliance has also changed!"

"Captain An, lead your troops out of the camp to investigate!"

No matter what Li Mu's considerations were for withdrawing the patrol soldiers, he should have informed King Xi of Yan, his ally.

But until now, King Xi of Yan has not received any news.

This is enough to make King Yanxi's vigilance reach its maximum!
Yan An couldn't help but look embarrassed, and whispered: "Your Majesty, the soldiers patrolling the camp of the Dai army are all pig-brains and wolf-hearted people."

"A few days ago, a member of our army, 2500 men, went out to patrol the camp, but was beheaded on the spot by the patrol soldiers of the Deputy Army without asking right or wrong."

"I went to argue with Dai Wu'an Jun because of this, but was scolded harshly by him instead."

"I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid of destroying the dignity of Great Yan!"

The Dai army's execution of Li Mu's orders and their madness were incomprehensible to all the generals of the Yan army.

That's a group of 250 people!
The patrolling soldiers of the Dai army did not even report to the emperor, they just killed him.

More importantly, afterwards, Li Mu not only did not give any compensation to the Yan army, but instead rewarded the soldiers who patrolled the camp heavily.

Who knows if those crazy patrolling soldiers will draw their swords against Yan An just because Yan An did not get Li Mu's order to leave the camp!
The King of Yan was so angry that his eyes widened: "My dear minister, you are an important official of the Great Yan. How dare the soldiers of the Dai army harm you!"

"If the Dai army dares to harm you, I will avenge you even if it means the alliance is broken!"

"I only choose to trust Dai Wu'an Jun's ability to command the army for the sake of the great cause of conquering Qin, but I do not allow Dai Wu'an Jun to do whatever he wants!"

"My dear minister, take my letter and go to the coalition army's central camp immediately."

"I would like to ask Dai Wu'an Jun why he made the military adjustment without informing our army."

"At the same time, send our soldiers to secretly gather information and confirm the current battle situation!"

Prince Yanxi changed the subject so quickly that for a moment it was hard to tell what was really going on beneath his righteous words.

Yan An straightened his back a little, and said with a loud clasp: "Yes!"

After quickly writing a scroll of handwritten letter and handing it to Yan An to be sent to the coalition army's central camp, King Xi of Yan was still a little worried and said in a deep voice: "I want to discuss the trade between Yan and Qi with the crown prince of Qi."

"My dear ministers, please follow me!" The long-sealed gate of the Yan army camp was pushed open.

Prince Xi of Yan was the first to rush out of the camp gate, followed by generals including Yan Liu and his family soldiers.

Along the way, King Xi of Yan's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

This was because Prince Xi of Yan didn't even see a single patrolling soldier, which was in stark contrast to the situation in the previous few days!
When King Xi of Yan approached the Qi army camp, he no longer frowned, and his facial skin became particularly relaxed.

It was because Prince Xi of Yan's mouth had unconsciously opened and his eyes were wide open.

"Where is the Qi army?"

King Xi of Yan unconsciously held the horse's belly and urged the warhorse forward slowly. His round eyes moved left and right, and his pupils were filled with disbelief and incomprehension.

"What about all those Qi troops?"

"Where are the six hundred thousand Qi troops?!"

Six hundred thousand troops!
That's an army of 600,000!
Just three days ago, King Xi of Yan came here in person to discuss cooperation between Yan and Qi with Prince Tian Sheng of Qi.

The military camp that appeared before King Xi of Yan at that time was so vast that it stretched from sky to earth!

But today, what appeared before King Xi of Yan was only a snowy field covered with white snow!

King Xi of Yan rubbed his eyes vigorously, turned his head to look at the generals behind him, pointed at the snowy field and asked: "Have you seen the Qi army?!"

Under the huge contrast, King Xi of Yan even began to suspect that he was old and his eyes were blurry!

However, the expressions of Yan Liu and other Yan generals were not much more pleased than the King of Yan.

Yan Liu replied with a trembling voice: "I, the general, have not been able to see the Qi army either."

"I think that Dai Wu'an Jun must have a new order for the Qi army. Dai Wu'an Jun has transferred the Qi army to another place without informing our army!"

This is a very reasonable explanation, but it cannot explain all the irrationalities.

King Yan heaved a sigh of relief, but the rest of his breath was still in his throat, and his face was filled with anger: "Now the three countries of Yan, Dai, and Qi have formed an alliance."

"Although Dai Wu'an Jun is the leader of the coalition forces, I am not only one of the allies, but also the king of Dayan!"

"With such a large-scale military operation, Dai Wu'an Jun didn't even tell me a word!"

"Does Lord Wu'an treat me like nothing?"

"If Dai Wu'an-jun despises our Great Yan so much, I will lead our Great Yan soldiers to withdraw from the coalition!"

"Move forward, the allied army camp!"

Suppressing his panic with anger, Prince Xi of Yan reined in his horse and galloped towards the allied camp.

But just when he had run halfway, King Xi of Yan saw Yan An leading his family soldiers galloping towards him.

"Your Majesty!"

Seeing King Xi of Yan from afar, Yan An gave a loud shout and charged forward at full speed without sparing any effort!
Yan Wangxi felt even more uneasy, and took the initiative to greet Yan An, asking in a deep voice: "But did Dai Wu'an Jun embarrass you, my dear?"

"My dear minister, you can speak frankly!"

"I will seek justice for you, my dear minister!"

Yan An, panting, reined in his horse and slowed down ten feet in front of King Yan Xi. Hearing this, he shook his head bitterly: "I really hope that Dai Wu'an Jun can embarrass me."

Yan An bowed solemnly and said anxiously: "I followed the king's order and went to the coalition army's tent, but found that the coalition army's tent had disappeared without a trace. There was no soldier left at the place where the Dai army was stationed, and there was not even a tent!"

A strong sense of absurdity enveloped King Xi of Yan's heart.

The Qi army disappeared, but the Dai army disappeared too?!

Just three days ago, there were nearly one million soldiers stationed around Fucheng.

But now, there are only more than 100,000 Yan troops left around this place? !
What about the Allies?
I have so many allies!

King Xi of Yan asked in panic, "Have you found any trace of the Dai army, or the handwritten letter left by Dai Wu'an Jun?"

Yan An shook his head bitterly and said, "I have never found any bamboo slips or silk in the place where the Dai army is stationed."

"The firewood in the stove where the coalition army's tent is located is icy cold, which shows that the Dai army has been gone for at least half a day!"

"I also sent my own soldiers to investigate around the coalition's tent, but they were unable to find any soldiers from the Dai army. Even the footprints of the Dai army's retreat were covered by the flying snow!"

"I am incompetent and failed to find the traces of the Dai army!"

A few flakes of snow fell from the sky, as cold as King Yan's heart.

It would be fine if the Qi army disappeared, but I, the current Lord Wu'an, have other arrangements for the Qi army.

It doesn't matter if the substitute army is missing. I have other arrangements for him as well.

But now, Dai Wuanjun himself has disappeared, without even leaving a handwritten letter!
King Xi of Yan even began to doubt whether the coalition forces' attack on Qin a few months ago was just a dream!

"What on earth is going on? What on earth happened?!"

An extremely terrifying guess emerged in the mind of King Xi of Yan: "Could it be that the armies of Dai and Qi have both betrayed our alliance with Great Yan?"

"Are you even planning to take advantage of the fact that my troops and those of Great Yan are not in the country to ally and attack Great Yan?!"
