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

Chapter 948: Two and a half counties, can you defeat me in one second? Just do this and that and do that again, and you can destroy the country!

Su Jiao looked at Ying Chengjiao in shock and said, "The King of Yan has led the Yan army to retreat to Lingzhi Pass."

"Can the actual war situation be any worse than it is now?"

Lingzhi Pass, later called Lingci Pass, Lulong Pass and Xifengkou, was an important barrier for the Central Plains against foreign races.

Cao Cao of the Eastern Han Dynasty sent troops to Liaoxi to conquer the Wuhuan from here, Murong Jun of the Former Yan Dynasty rode his horse into the Central Plains from here, Gao Shi of the Tang Dynasty went north from here to gain merit on the Khitan battlefield, and the commander of the 29th Army, Song Zheyuan, also commanded the broadsword team to fight bloody battles here!

When the army is strong, they will send out troops to defend the border and trample the grasslands.

If the country is in decline, they will retreat and guard the frontiers, and protect the Central Plains to the death.

Although the Yan general Qin Kai had already gone north to Lingzhi Pass and conquered a vast territory for the Yan State, even if King Xi of Yan retreated to Lingzhi Pass, he could still retain two-thirds of the Yan State's territory and one-quarter of its cities.

But from the perspective of many dynasties, King Xi of Yan was driven out of the Central Plains in this battle!
Isn't this corrupt enough?

What is erosion then!
Ying Chengjiao pointed at Lingzhi Pass on the Kunyu map and said in a deep voice, "Lingzhi Pass was built by the Lingzhi Kingdom to resist the Shanrong. There are high cliffs on both sides, and the terrain is dangerous and abrupt. It seems that they rely on geographical advantages to resist the enemy."

"However, there are many high cliffs in the north, and many fortresses are as strategically located as Lingzhi Pass, but Lingzhi Pass is the only place that is fought for by military strategists."

"The important reason is that the southwest direction of Lingzhi Pass is not steep at all. Instead, there is a smooth road that leads directly to Wuzhong City, and Wuzhong City can directly lead to Ji City."

Su Jiao followed Ying Chengjiao's finger and looked at the Kunyu map carefully, and suddenly realized: "The army north of Lingzhisai will find it difficult to obtain food and grass from the north, but the army south of Lingzhisai can easily obtain food and grass from Wuzhong City."

"So Lingzhi Pass is a strong fortress against the northern barbarians, but it will be difficult to fight against the southern enemies for a long time!"

"The lands north of the Yan State's Lingzhi Pass are mostly barren, and food and grass are scarce. If more food is consumed during transportation along the way, there will be very little left, and it will be difficult for the Yan army to sustain a long-term battle here!"

The problem of food and fodder is a big problem.

Li Mu was eyeing the grain of Yan State, so it was impossible for him to give King Xi of Yan enough time to open all the granaries, take out the grain from each warehouse and escape together.

King Xi of Yan was holding out in a fortress where it was difficult to obtain baggage and food supplies when his army was short of supplies.

Even if Prince Xi of Yan could hold his ground, how long could the food and fodder in his army sustain him?

If the food and grass run out, how can King Xi of Yan continue to hold on to Lingzhi Pass!
Ying Chengjiao nodded slightly and said, "That's right."

"In addition to food and fodder, the morale of the army is also a big problem!"

"The families of the officials in the Yan State court basically live around Jicheng."

"The troops under the command of the King of Yan are mainly composed of people from Yuyang and Youbeiping counties."

"Now that Yuyang County is almost lost, only Jicheng is still holding on, and Youbeiping has fallen by more than half, the ministers and generals under the King of Yan must be uneasy, the army is unstable, and the morale is turbulent!"

Food and grass are running out, morale is in turmoil, the king is untrustworthy, the ministers are disloyal, the generals are incompetent, and the soldiers are cowardly!

Su Jiao took a breath of cold air: "It seems that this battle situation is indeed more than just corruption!"

His eyes swept from Lingzhi Pass all the way to Liaodong County, and Ying Chengjiao said with some itchiness: "This is clearly a situation of destroying the country!"

Li Bo murmured with a sense of longing: "If we can win this battle, I can also replace Wu Anjun and gain the merit of destroying a country!"

My father is awesome!

Su Jiao put his arm around Li Bo's shoulders and said with a smile: "It's just the destruction of a country, what's the big deal?"

"Brother Li, please wait for a moment. There will be plenty of opportunities to follow the commander in destroying the country in the future!"

"I think the most commendable thing about Dai Wu'an is that he is valued so highly by the commander-in-chief!"

As early as when Su Jiao started to speak, Xue Liang and other former Qi generals were already beginning to lose track of their thinking.

After hearing what Ying Chengjiao said and the conversation between Li Bo and Su Jiao, Xue Liang and other former Qi generals were all stunned:

"what???"

Xue Liang looked at the huge map of Yan State on Kunyu Map and asked in disbelief: "Destroy, destroy the country?!"

"Can Dai State destroy Yan in one battle?!"

No, weren’t you just talking about Lingzhisai?
How come we're talking about destroying a country all of a sudden?

Destroy the country! That's destroying the country!
What a horrible and huge thing, yet how could it be so simple and easy in your mouth?

There was even a hint of excitement on his face, as if he was looking forward to a good show!

Ying Chengjiao turned to look at Xue Liang and asked doubtfully, "What else?"

Xue Liang almost danced with joy and said: "Although the two counties of Liaoxi and Liaodong to the east of Yan State's Lingzhi Pass are quite poor and exhausted, they are also the land of two counties!"

"Add to that the Youbeiping County around Lingzhisai, that's two and a half counties!"

"On the other hand, the Dai army is indeed elite, but it only has more than 100,000 soldiers, and the rear of the Dai country has long been devastated by the earth dragon turning over, and the rear is unstable."

"It is incredible that Dai could conquer Yuyang of Yan and take half of Youbeiping County in one battle with its national strength."

"How is it possible to sweep across the four counties of Yan State in one battle and destroy Yan in one fell swoop?"

All the former Qi generals had a bit of cowardice in their subconscious.

Even the Yan army was a powerful enemy in their eyes.

On the other hand, although the Dai State was also quite elite and had Dai Wu'an Jun in charge, it was ultimately a small country that was weaker than other countries in all aspects such as national strength, military strength, and population.

They could not understand and could not imagine that the State of Yan, which was more powerful than the State of Qi, would be destroyed by the State of Dai in one battle!
Ying Chengjiao blinked, picked up a wooden stick and pointed it at Ling Zhisai, saying, "Ling Zhisai can't last long. Do all of you know this?"

Xue Liang and other former Qi generals nodded with difficulty.

Ying Chengjiao explained it quite clearly, and they could understand it. Ying Chengjiao crossed Lingzhi Pass and continued eastward, saying, "If I were to replace Wu'an Jun, I would abandon the Guzhu line, break through Lingzhi Pass and march directly to Yang'an (around Chaoyang City), and then chase eastward along the way, break through Yangle (around Jinzhou), pass Yiwulü Mountain (Lü Mountain), and go straight to Xiangping (around Liaoyang)!"

"If this is the case, Yan will perish on its own!"

What what what?
Xue Liang and others' eyes could not keep up with their ears at all.

How did the small wooden stick in Ying Chengjiao's hand slide to the easternmost end of Yan State?

This is the area of ​​Liaoxi and Liaodong counties. How could you just sweep it over in a flash?
The answer?
Just write a brief summary!
Ying Chengjiao took back the stick, tapped the palm of his hand with it and said, "This is just the worst-case scenario considering the King of Yan's outstanding ability to escape."

"According to my estimation, with the ability of Wu'an Jun, it is impossible for him to allow the King of Yan to escape to the vicinity of Xiangping."

"Yiwulv Mountain should be the burial place of King Yan!"

These words hit all the former Qi generals like a heavy hammer.

The judgment just now was just the worst-case scenario? !

Xue Liang's pupils were dilated and his eyes were lifeless as he murmured, "Is it so easy to destroy a country?"

Li Xin looked at Xue Liang puzzledly and asked, "Is it difficult to destroy a country?"

Su Jiao said with emotion: "It is not difficult to destroy a country, but it is really difficult to ask other countries not to be destroyed!"

As soon as Su Jiao said this, Xi Feng, Meng Nan and other veterans who had fought with Ying Chengjiao for a long time all nodded in agreement with deep understanding.

Therefore, all the generals of Qi said: …

Look at what you are saying!

Suddenly I felt like we were dogs sneaking into a pack of wolves!
Just when the generals of Qi were doubting their lives, a shrill cry suddenly sounded from the big tent.

"The Yan State cannot be destroyed!!!"

The eyes of Xue Liang and his generals regained their spirit.

As expected, we said that destroying Yan would never be so easy.

Ying Chengjiao was also startled by this shout. He turned around and saw Zhao Gao standing next to the Kunyu map with red eyes. He looked at Ying Chengjiao with pleading eyes and said, "Lord Chang'an, our army will fight in this battle..."

Zhao Gao glanced at Xue Liang and the others, and immediately changed his words: "The king's order is to attack Dai, weaken Yan, and destroy Qi."

"Instead of attacking Dai, destroying Yan, and destroying Qi!"

"The State of Yan cannot be destroyed!"

Seeing Zhao Gao's trembling appearance, the look that had just risen in Xue Liang's eyes quickly petrified.

So this is the reason you are saying that the State of Yan cannot perish?
This is the Yan State that was able to chase and attack the Qi State, but in the end, its life and death depended on the words of the King of Qin? !
Su Jiao frowned and said, "What Doctor Zhao said is too unreasonable."

"This battle is not about our army destroying Yan, but about the Dai army destroying Yan."

"What does the Dai army have to do with our army if they destroy Yan?"

"Will the Dai army be blamed on our army in the end for disobeying our king's order?"

Zhao Gao was speechless for a moment.

It seems, that’s right!

What does the demise of Yan State have to do with our Great Qin?
Even if the State of Yan is destroyed, its territory will not fall into the hands of our Great Qin!
Ying Chengjiao nodded and said, "Captain Su is right. Even if the Dai army really destroys Yan, it has nothing to do with our army."

"Yes, what General Zhao said is true. The State of Yan cannot be destroyed!"

The thought of watching the show faded away, Ying Chengjiao looked at the Kunyu map and said in a deep voice: "In my opinion, Dai Wuan Jun is indeed a famous general, a brave general, and a great general!"

"In this battle, Wu Anjun led the coalition forces of the three countries, which put great pressure on me."

“If Dai can really destroy Yan in one battle and capture all of Yan’s young and strong men, then when Qin and Dai fight again, Dai Wu’an Jun will surely lead a large army to fight and become a formidable enemy for our Great Qin!”

Therefore, all the generals of Qi were confused again, especially Xue Liang, who looked at Ying Chengjiao with a look full of incomprehension.

Xibanyu was still blocked by rocks and cliffs, and the subsequent impact of the earth dragon's rise in the dynasty had not yet ended. One of the allied states that attacked Qin was destroyed by a surprise attack.

Now, head coach, you say that Dai Wuanjun has caused you a lot of pressure. Can he still be a strong rival of yours in the future?

Is he worthy of replacing Wu'an Jun?

Ying Chengjiao continued, "What worries me most is the King of Dai!"

"The King of Dai is good at disguising himself, forbearing, shameless, unfaithful, unkind and immoral, has excellent acting skills, and is bold and careful."

"You are truly a heroic lord!"

The corners of the mouths of Zhao Gao, Su Jiao and other ministers and generals twitched slightly.

Commander, are you sure you are praising the King of Dai?

Ying Chengjiao's voice turned deep: "We, the Great Qin, must not give the King of Dai and the Lord of Dai Wu'an the opportunity to develop as much as they want."

"We must nip the Dai Kingdom's hope of prosperity in the bud!"

"Send a message to Li Ke, the Minister of Yan."

"Ben's going to need him!"
