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

Chapter 947: This camp layout is like what I used to do! The battle situation in Daiyan has become so bad!

January 20th, the sixteenth year of the reign of Qin Shi Huangdi.

Ying Chengjiao finally led his exhausted army back to Du Kang.

When there were still twenty miles away from the Zhuocheng camp, Ying Chengjiao saw from afar the Qin army flags stretching from the sky to the ground, and several streams of dust rushing towards him!

As they got closer, a figure wrapped in smoke and dust appeared in front of Ying Chengjiao.

Led by three former Qi generals, Xue Liang, Lu Shao and Tang Ju, seven military commanders surrounded them, and middle-level generals such as the village officials, company commanders, and village officials followed closely behind. They all pulled the reins ten feet in front of Ying Chengjiao.

The horses' hooves flew, the knights bowed and shouted in unison: "We, the humble generals, are here to see the Left Prime Minister!"

"Boom!!!"

The horses' hooves slammed heavily on the ground, making a dull sound. Xue Liang and other generals dismounted in unison, bowed and saluted again: "It is the great honor of my life to be able to charge into battle beside the Left Prime Minister again!"

Xue Liang and the others practiced this set of movements and words countless times, and it was so pleasing to the eye and so passionate when they performed it.

Those who knew understood that they were defeated generals asking for surrender, while those who didn’t thought that they were old subordinates returning!

Ying Chengjiao also dismounted, smiled and bowed: "It is my honor to be able to share the same comrades with you again!"

"I have resigned from the post of Left Prime Minister of Qi for a long time. You no longer need to call me Left Prime Minister. Just call me Commander-in-Chief like other comrades."

Xue Liang smiled innocently and said, "It is my fault."

"It is true that the title of Left Prime Minister comes easily to my ears, and I cannot help but call him that."

"Please forgive me, Commander!"

Xue Liang and other former Qi generals did not really shout it out of habit, nor was it an unintentional mistake.

This was just a way for them to show their close relationship with Ying Chengjiao.

If they had not called Ying Chengjiao "Left Prime Minister" in the past, a position that also existed in the Qin Dynasty and was higher than Ying Chengjiao's current position, but had called him Li Yousi, Company Commander, Army Commander, etc., then no matter how much Ying Chengjiao reminded them, they would have "inadvertently" called Ying Chengjiao by the old name.

Fortunately, Ying Chengjiao also knew that the poor environment of the Qi military required all Qi generals to find a backer or a family to rely on in order to feel at ease. Now that they had just entered the Qin Dynasty as surrendered generals, they were even more worried and urgently needed Ying Chengjiao to rely on in order to feel a little more at ease.

Therefore, Ying Chengjiao did not delve into it and just joked: "I used to be your left prime minister, so you just call me the left prime minister."

"I will be your school commander again in the future. Will you call me school commander again?"

"If I were in the army again, you would call me the commander-in-chief."

"There are too many names that come to mind, please don't mess up your tongue!"

Ying Chengjiao's joke was not funny, but Xue Liang and other former Qi generals still laughed in support.

But as they laughed, the laughter of the Qi generals suddenly stopped.

Tang Ju asked in disbelief: "School order?"

"Do we have a chance to call the Left Prime Minister the school commander?!"

Who in the world today doesn't know that the Great Qin Military Academy is an even more terrifying institution than the former Jixia Academy?

Even the dignitaries of other countries who deeply hated the Qin Dynasty would do everything they could to get their children into the Qin Military Academy.

This is because any student who can graduate alive from the Qin Military Academy will be able to obtain a middle or low-level title or above, and can also become a loyal descendant of Ying Chengjiao. At the same time, he will be deeply trusted by Ying Zheng, and his future promotion path will be smooth and unimpeded. At the very least, he will be able to govern a region, and being granted a title of nobility or a general is not far away!

For example, Tang Ju and other defeated generals who surrendered from the old Qi and reached middle age also had the opportunity to study in the Qin Military Academy and enter the core circle of the Qin Dynasty? !
Ying Chengjiao smiled and nodded, saying, "I have already reported to my king all the plans of all my comrades joining forces with me, and I have also recommended Xue Liang, Lu Shao, Tang Ju, and Gao Shuang for admission."

"If there are other comrades who perform outstandingly in this battle, I will also be happy to recommend them."

"As the commander of the Qin Military Academy, I personally recommend students for admission. I think the king will give me some face."

After listening to Ying Chengjiao's words, Xue Liang, Lu Shao and Tang Ju's cheeks instantly turned red with excitement!

The generals, fellow villagers, and company commanders in the rear all straightened their backs, with unconcealable desire and expectation in their eyes.

If only three military generals including Xue Liang were admitted to the Qin Military Academy, then the middle-level generals such as the military commander and Xiang Liangren would not dare to hope that they would also be qualified for admission.

But Gao Shuang is just a company commander!
Since Gao Shuang, the company commander, is qualified to enroll, why can't they?
What they lack is just an opportunity to show their loyalty to the Qin Dynasty!

This time, all the former Qi generals shouted excitedly at the same time: "We are willing to die for the Qin! We are willing to die for our commander!"

Ying Chengjiao pressed his right hand downward and said in a deep voice, "Yes! I have already said this in advance."

"The Great Qin Military Academy is where we train generals for the Great Qin. Those who are afraid of death should not enter here!"

"Besides, our school does not accept all students."

"Let's go into the camp first, and I'll see how well you guys are doing in building the camp."

Xue Liang and other generals stepped back and bowed, "Commander-in-chief, please!"

Ying Chengjiao did not mount his horse, but led his generals into the camp on foot.

Then, Ying Chengjiao's eyelids twitched slightly: "It really feels a bit familiar!"

Xue Liang asked excitedly and nervously: "Commander, have you seen similar structures before?" Ying Chengjiao nodded with a complicated look and said: "It has a bit of the charm of the military camp I set up when I was about to destroy Han!"

At that time, Ying Chengjiao had no one available under his command, so he could only send his family soldiers such as Bafu and Guafu to the sides of the generals of various departments, and steal their skills in the name of supervision. After chopping off the heads of many generals, the family soldiers temporarily served as the generals of various departments.

At that time, Ying Chengjiao himself was not familiar with military strategies and did not even know how to dig a pit toilet during a march. The only two references he had were the military books left by Fan Yuqi and what his family soldiers had learned from him.

Now the military camp built by Xue Liang and others inexplicably makes Ying Chengjiao dream back to that time.

How can a good military camp be built so badly?
However, these words were a great encouragement to Xue Liang and others.

The barracks we built actually have some of Chang'an Jun's charm!
Although he was only the Chang'an Jun during the war to destroy Han, the Chang'an Jun at that time had also destroyed a country in one battle!

Xue Liang, a burly man, looked quite shy at the moment: "To be honest with you, Commander, this military camp was built with the help of me, 2500 generals and 2500 soldiers!"

Ying Chengyu:...

Otherwise, you'd better keep it from me!
Taking a deep breath, Ying Chengjiao patted Xue Liang's arm and sincerely advised: "After you enter school, you must study hard!"

Otherwise, if you get into trouble on the battlefield in the future, don't mention your name as your master!
Xue Liang thought Ying Chengjiao was encouraging him because he had high hopes for him, so he excitedly saluted and said, "Yes!"

Ying Chengjiao nodded slightly and walked towards the center of the army. Xue Liang quickly followed behind Ying Chengjiao and asked expectantly, "Commander-in-chief, do you want to take a look at the left and right armies?"

"The left army was built with 2500 fake Zhu Ju as the leader, and the right army was built with 2500 fake Zhu Shao as the leader. Both have their own ingenuity."

Ying Chengjiao forced a smile and said, "We have been friends for a long time, so I will just watch and see."

"Of course!"

"The military situation is urgent, we must first cut off the military strategy!"

Still watching?

Please spare me!

I'm really afraid that if I cut a few more times, I'll want to chop you to death!

Xue Liang quickly agreed, "What the commander said is very true!"

"Coach, please!"

Accelerating all the way into the main tent of the central army, Lu Shao took the opportunity to spread out the Kunyu map.

Ying Chengjiao asked in a deep voice: "I have received military reports saying that your scouts have discovered that Dai Wu'an Jun is leading the Dai army to attack the State of Yan?"

Xue Liang immediately cupped his hands, and said with a guilty look on his face: "That's right!"

"Before I fled from the Dai army, I heard that Dai Wu'an Jun wanted to force us to move westward and join forces with the King of Dai to attack Daqin!"

"I believed it to be true and reported this to the commander-in-chief."

"Fortunately, the commander is wise and was not deceived by my report!"

Hearing Xue Liang's personal confirmation, Ying Chengqiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

When there was no trace of Li Mu's troops, his judgment was not wrong.

As Li Mu expected, he did not go west to attack Qin, but instead turned to attack Yan!

Since Li Mu's troops are already attacking Yan, then Dai Wang Jia's troops must be just a bait to force the Qin army to mobilize, just as Ying Chengjiao expected!

Xue Liang looked at Ying Chengjiao with admiration and said, "After receiving the order from the commander-in-chief, I will immediately dispatch all the scouts in the army to the northeast to investigate the movements of the Dai and Yan armies."

"On January 17, our scouts reported back that on January 16, we learned that Dai Wu'an Jun had set up an ambush south of Jicheng, intending to ambush and kill the King of Yan."

"However, the King of Yan had already noticed the ambush of the Dai army and fled with his army. The Dai Wu'an Jun immediately sent more than 300,000 troops to chase and kill the Yan army."

"On that day, Yan Shangqing Ke led 30,000 elite Yan troops to counterattack the former Qi soldiers in the Dai army while the Dai army was unprepared, and returned with a great victory. The morale of the Dai army plummeted, and they had to rest for a while before chasing again, which gave the King of Yan a chance to catch his breath."

Ying Cheng's eyes were stunned.

The fact that Li Ke was able to lead 30,000 Yan troops in a victorious counterattack was within Ying Chengjiao's expectations.

After all, there was too little time left for Li Mu, and he had no time to reorganize the former Qi soldiers into elite troops.

As long as Li Ke chooses the right entry point, it is not incredible to win a big victory.

What really shocked Ying Chengjiao was that Li Ke actually dared to lead only 30,000 Yan troops to launch a counterattack against the main force led by Li Mu!
Is this the same defeated general who fled shortly after the battle started outside Xibanyu?

Xue Liang continued: "Around eclipse time (7:00) on January , the King of Yan led the main force of the Yan army to Lingzhi Pass and led his people to hold out against the Dai at Lingzhi Pass."

"As of the night of January 19, Yan Xiangbang Guang is still leading the troops of Jicheng to hold on and wait for help!"

"According to our scouts, the area between Jicheng and Lingzhi Pass has been completely captured by the Dai army. Jicheng has become an isolated city!"

Su Jiao smacked his lips and said, "The situation in the war between Dai and Yan has become so corrupt?!"

Ying Chengjiao stroked his chin with his hand, scanned the Kunyu map with his eyes, and said in a solemn voice: "The actual battle situation on the front line is probably more corrupt than what the scouts reported!"
