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

Chapter 952: Qin Changan Jun loves peace? So do I! How can political schemes defeat fist power? The world must stop fighting!

January 24, the 16th year of the reign of Qin Shi Huang.

The branch is blocked.

Listening to Li Ke's conditions, King Xi of Yan nodded repeatedly and said, "Food? Yes! Cloth? Yes! Fine horses? Yes!"

"Is Gaoyi ginseng worth gold? Now that Great Yan has retreated to its post and is unable to conquer Dai and take back its old territory, I have always wanted to take Gaoyi's land to the east for use by Great Yan. If the Gaoyi ginseng I obtain is worth gold, it would be a great joy for Great Yan!"

"Besides this, Qin actually has nothing else to ask for?!"

King Xi of Yan grasped Li Ke's hands, and said with admiration in his eyes: "I originally thought that Qin would never send troops to help Great Yan, and I didn't even dare to try."

"It was you who thought you had a chance to persuade the Qin State and was willing to take the risk of going there as an envoy."

"I never thought that you would not only accomplish this feat, but also get Qin to send troops at such a low price!"

"I heard that you and Qin Chang'an had a fierce argument for a whole day and night, and Qin Chang'an even said yes repeatedly, and was willing to let go of the grudge between Qin and Yan."

"My dear, you are truly my right-hand man!"

Seeing that Prince Xi of Yan’s face was almost smiling like a chrysanthemum, Li Ke felt even more grateful.

Taking advantage of this golden opportunity, Lord Chang'an simply treated the State of Yan with ease and attributed all the credit to me!

Lord Chang'an, you are truly a righteous man!

Li Ke expressed his gratitude and said, "It is because of Your Majesty's trust that I was able to accomplish this feat and leave my name in history!"

"I, your Majesty, should thank you!"

Seeing the genuine gratitude on Li Ke's face, Prince Yan's admiration grew even stronger.

Which king doesn't like a minister who is capable, loyal, obedient and not greedy for credit?

King Xi of Yan held Li Ke's hand even harder and said sincerely, "I agree to Qin's conditions!"

"Please go to Xianyang again and tell the King of Qin."

"Lord Qin Chang'an deeply loves peace, and so do I!"
-
January 27th, the 16th year of the reign of Qin Shi Huang.

Hongshang Sai.

"My friends! Think about your family members and children who died in the belly of the earth dragon! Charge! Take revenge!"

"Go around to the southeast and break the formation!"

"The king's banner is coming forward, kill!!!"

The deafening shouts of killing lingered around Hongshang Pass for a long time.

More than 60,000 Dai soldiers fought bravely under the impetus of hatred, driven by anger and the personal command of Dai Wang Jia.

However, Hongshangsai was still firmly nailed on the mountains, looking down proudly at the Dai army below.

Not only did the Dai army fail to make any progress, but they also detected the traces of the Qin army's reinforcements from afar!
Mao Sui rode back to Dai Wangjia's side and said with a breathless breath: "Your Majesty!"

"The scouts who stayed behind discovered the flag of General Qin Wu a hundred miles to the north. He has about 70,000 soldiers under his command!"

"General Qin Duanhe's 100,000 Qin troops have reached 70 miles to the northeast."

"The 400,000 Qin troops under the command of Qin Deputy General Ben have reached more than 50 miles to the southeast."

"Your Majesty! The situation is extremely critical for our army!"

Although it had long been expected that the Dai army would be besieged by the main force of the Qin army.

But Mao Sui never expected that Ying Chengjiao would send 470,000 troops to surround the Dai army from all directions.

Together with the defenders of Hongshangsai, the soldiers of Hengshan County, and the city guards from surrounding cities who came to support, the Qin State actually sent 500,000 troops to besiege their mere 60,000 troops!

Dai Wangjia was also very nervous, but he still asked first: "Has Wu'an Jun broken through Lingzhi Pass?"

Mao Sui shook his head and said, "According to the previous military report from Wu'an Jun, Wu'an Jun has not yet broken through Lingzhi Pass, and it will be impossible to break through Lingzhi Pass in a short time!"

Dai Wangjia asked again: "Have you found out where Qin Changan Jun is going?"

Mao Sui still shook his head: "So far, our army has not yet discovered the movements of Qin Chang'an Jun!"

Dai Wangjia couldn't help but fall into deep hesitation and struggle.

Finally, Dai Wang Jia made up his mind and said, "Hold on for another three days!"

Mao Sui advised bitterly: "Your Majesty! We really can't wait any longer!"

"Nearly 500,000 Qin troops are coming from all directions, and most of them are veterans who have fought in battles for a long time."

"If the Qin army really completes the encirclement of our army, our army will be defeated without a doubt!"

How could a mere 60,000-odd soldiers, 20,000 of whom were child soldiers between the ages of twelve and fourteen, resist the nearly 500,000-strong Qin army?
Hit me on the head!

Dai Wangjia said in a deep voice: "I know that our army is incapable of fighting against the Qin army and defeating it."

"I have no intention of fighting to the death with Qin!"

"Yes! I need to buy more time for Wu'an Jun, help him break through Lingzhi Pass, and seize a place for our great dynasty to thrive!"

"Don't worry, my dear minister. I have my own plans."

"In three days, I will break camp and leave without any delay!"

Mao Sui's voice of persuasion became more sincere and earnest: "My king!"

"Most of the soldiers under Qin's deputy general Ben have been with Qin Chang'an Jun for a long time and are quite good at running and attacking."

"Don't be complacent just because Qin's deputy general Ben's front troops are still more than fifty miles away from our army."

"Qin's deputy general Ben was restoring his soldiers' strength along the way, and at the same time waiting for the movements of other Qin troops so that he could prepare for a major battle at any time. That's why he didn't order the entire army to march in a hurry. Otherwise, Qin's deputy general Ben would have arrived at Hongshang Pass long ago!"

"If Qin's deputy general Ben finds out that our army only has 60,000 soldiers, and then sends out elite troops to attack quickly, he can surprise our army in two days at most." "Your Majesty, don't forget why Qi was destroyed!"

Dai Wang Jia said in a gentle voice: "My dear minister, you can rest assured. Qi was just destroyed. How can I forget why Qi was destroyed?"

"If I can bear a little more danger, I can buy more time for Wu Anjun."

"For the country, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages!"

"I have made up my mind, my dear, there is no need to persuade me!"

How could King Jia of Dai look down upon the Qin army?

What King Jia of Dai wanted was for the Qin army to just barely catch up with the Dai army!

In this way, King Jia of Dai can borrow the sword of the Qin army to eliminate those veteran generals of the Dai army who only know Li Mu but not King Jia of Dai!

Of course, this was not because Dai Wangjia doubted Li Mu's loyalty.

It was simply because Li Mu's prestige and power were too great, and Li Mu had too many old subordinates and ministers. This time, the earth dragon turned over and swallowed up many old Zhao ministers who were loyal to Dai Wang Jia. Li Mu's defeat of the Yan army led to Li Mu's great merit in this battle, so that Dai Wang Jia's voice became smaller. In order to protect himself, Dai Wang Jia had to make some checks and balances.

Mao Sui had no idea of ​​what Dai Wangjia was thinking, and could not understand the deeper meaning of Dai Wangjia's actions, but he continued to give him earnest advice.

But just as Mao Sui was trying to persuade him again and again, a group of messengers came over the mountains and shouted, "Urgent report on the military situation of Wu'an Jun's troops!!!"

Dai Wangjia, Mao Sui, Lu Gao and other Dai monarchs and ministers all turned to look in the direction of the messenger. Dai Wangjia immediately shouted, "Send it!"

The messengers drove straight to the side of Dai Wangjia, and the captain weakly bowed and said, "Please forgive me, my legs are eroded and I can't dismount to greet you."

"Here is the report of the military of Lord Wu'an. Please read it, Your Majesty!"

Dai Wang Jia was extremely anxious. He could not wait for the eunuch to take action, so he stepped forward and took the military report from the messenger. After briefly checking the seal, he took out the military report.

With a shake of his hands, he opened the bamboo slips, and vigorous and powerful words caught Dai Wangjia's eyes.

Dai Wangjia's pupils suddenly shrank, and he cried out in a low voice: "Qin Chang'an Jun's troops have actually reached Jicheng!"

Mao Sui, Lu Gao and other ministers were all stunned and said in disbelief: "How could Qin Chang'an's troops be so fast!"

"The troops under Qin Chang'an Jun, Qin General Duanhe, and Qin Deputy General Ben are all exhausted after a long battle and are unable to move quickly. How can Qin Chang'an Jun reach Jicheng now?!"

"Unless... Qin Chang'an Jun never rushed to Hongshang Pass from the beginning, but went straight to Jicheng!"

As soon as these words came out, the scene fell into silence.

If Ying Chengjiao really rushed to Jicheng as soon as he received the military report, then everything they did would be like playing the lute to a cow and would be meaningless!

After quickly reading the military report, Dai Wangjia secretly clenched the bamboo slips and said in a particularly solemn voice: "My dear ministers, there is no need to delve into when Qin Changan Jun rushed to Jicheng."

"Wu'an Jun said that Qin Chang'an Jun's vanguard troops have arrived outside Jicheng, and ordered our army's captain Xian to tell Wu'an Jun."

"Qin Chang'an couldn't bear to see the suffering of the people, so he raised an army to stop the war."

"If our army does not cease fighting before February 1st, then Qin Chang'an Jun will lead the Qin army to attack our Yuyang County."

"General Wu of Qin, General Ben of Qin, and General Duanhe of Qin will join forces to attack my troops."

"The Yan army will also march westward to form a barrier and cooperate with the Qin army to attack Wu'an Jun's troops."

"Regarding the specific matters of the truce, I will send envoys to Xianyang City before February 10 to discuss it with Qin and Yan. Otherwise, it will be regarded as our dynasty's unwillingness to stop the war!"

Lu Gao was so angry that his whole body was shaking, and he roared angrily: "Mr. Qin Changan, you are going too far!"

"Qin Chang'an Jun caused the Earth Dragon to rise in the Dai Dynasty, causing hundreds of thousands of people in our Great Dai Dynasty to be displaced and their families to be destroyed. Now, Qin Chang'an Jun says that he can't bear to see the lives of the people destroyed?"

"Pooh!!!"

Many of the ministers of the Dai State were also filled with anger, only a few ministers such as Mao Sui had no anger on their faces, only anxiety.

Ignoring the fact that his colleagues were still cursing Ying Chengjiao, Mao Sui bowed his hands and said solemnly: "I beg you to stop the fighting!"

"I know that Your Majesty is not afraid of going to war with Qin and Yan at the same time. Our great warriors are good at fighting and are not afraid of death."

"But the position of Qin Changan Jun's troops is too sensitive!"

"Once Qin Chang'an Jun's troops capture Yuyang County, my general will be cut in half. Unless Wu'an Jun's troops can break through Qin Chang'an Jun's defense line, they will not be able to come to our aid."

"At that time, even if Wu Anjun's troops could get the young and strong soldiers from Yan as soldiers, the king only had more than 60,000 soldiers under his command. It would be impossible for them to break out of the encirclement and join forces with Wu Anjun!"

"For the sake of the king's safety, I beg the king to endure the humiliation for a while and stop the war!"

Once Ying Chengjiao captures Yuyang County, the connection between the eastern and western armies of Dai State will be lost.

The only road left for Daiguo’s Western Army is a dead end!
If the person leading the Eastern Army was Dai Wang Jia and the person leading the Western Army was Li Mu, Dai Wang Jia might still hesitate.

But the person leading the Western Army was none other than King Jia of Dai!

All the checks and balances and strategies were thrown out of his mind. Dai Wangjia no longer hesitated and said with a sad sigh: "How can I sit by and watch Wu'an Jun being attacked by Qin and Yan?!"

"Pass the widow's order!"

"Order Wu Anjun's troops to cease fighting and strictly guard the existing territory!"

"I beg you to send Lord Mao as my envoy to the State of Qin."

Dai Wangjia bowed to Mao Sui and said sincerely: "The rise and fall of our great dynasty all depends on Prime Minister Mao!"

"Please ask Prime Minister Mao to fight for the interests of our generation."

"If Qin can humiliate Prime Minister Mao, I will not hesitate to put on my armor and lead the army in person!"

Mao Sui hurriedly bowed in return: "I will do my best to deal with it!"

Dai Wangjia turned around and looked at the Hongshang Pass that had been under attack for a long time. His eyes swept over the elite soldiers trained by Li Mu. Even though he was reluctant, he had to shout in a deep voice: "Pass on my order!"

"The entire army will break camp and return north immediately!"
