My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?

December 15, the 17th year of Qin Wangzheng.

The north wind howled, and the ice was as cold as a knife.

Although it had not snowed in Linle in mid-December, and the river had not frozen yet, the lowest temperature had dropped below zero. The biting cold wind scraped my cheeks painfully, and it was even more aggressive to rub along the sleeves and collars to people. The copper armor pieces lost their usual smoothness, and when they came into contact with the skin, they were as sticky as if the surface was covered with a layer of paste.

The flames jumped in the basin, releasing enchanting smoke and toxic gases, while also providing a little heat in the military tent.

Ying Chengjiao's palms were sweating, and he asked solemnly: "Is Dai Wu'an Jun really in the western foot of Yinshan Mountain?"

Yao Jia nodded and said: "Yes."

"I originally thought that I could not see Dai Wu'an Jun, and I thought of many ways to test whether Dai Wu'an Jun was in the army."

"But I never thought that Dai Wu'an Jun actually came to see me in person!"

"I just determined that Dai Wu'an Jun is still in the western foot of Yinshan Mountain."

Ying Chengjiao frowned even more tightly, and asked solemnly: "Are you sure that you saw Dai Wu'an Jun himself?"

"Rather than someone else wearing Dai Wu'an Jun's armor and wearing Dai Wu'an Jun's crown, deceiving Yao Shangqing with Dai Wu'an Jun's identity?!"

Yao Jia was shocked: "A real man should not change his name or surname."

"Is there any shameless person in the world who lets others impersonate him?"

Yao Jia didn't think about it at all.

Because replacing someone else's name and letting someone else replace your own name in this era is not only an act beyond the moral bottom line, but also an act that many people can't even think of.

In Yao Jia's view, anyone who has a face can't do such a thing!

A certain prime minister surnamed Cao: Cao suspects that you are scolding Cao, and Cao has evidence!

Ying Chengjiao said as a matter of course: "A real man should be able to bend and stretch."

"What's the big deal about impersonating someone for victory?"

Yao Jia immediately searched his mind and recalled carefully. After a while, Yao Jia said in a deep voice: "I didn't think of this possibility at that time, so I didn't observe it carefully."

"But I met Dai Wu'an Jun a few years ago, and I thought I met Dai Wu'an Jun himself this time!"

After determining Li Mu's position, let alone Ying Chengjiao, even generals such as Su Jiao couldn't understand it.

The vanguard of the Qin army has arrived at the north side of Du Kang, and the troops of the seven countries including Dai, Xiongnu, and Donghu are also moving south.

Anyone with a brain can understand that a war is about to begin.

As a result, Li Mu, the highest military commander of Dai State, is still more than 2,000 miles away from the battlefield? !

Who would believe this?

Ying Chengjiao even had serious self-doubts, and looked at the generals and asked sincerely: "Do you think that the King of Dai will look down on me?"

"Or does the King of Dai think that the reason why Dai Wu'an Jun lost to me is because Dai Wu'an Jun is incompetent."

"Does the King of Dai want to choose another general to fight against me in this battle?"

It's no wonder that Ying Chengjiao asked this question. Ying Chengjiao has never had much confidence in war.

Moreover, the king has a set of evaluation criteria for generals that others can't understand.

Just as Ying Chengjiao couldn't understand why King Zhao Qian dared to replace Li Mu and let Zhao Cong fight Wang Jian in the original history, Ying Chengjiao thought that maybe King Dai Jia also had his own ideas?

If the facts are true, it would be great!

But both Yao Jia and the generals cast shocked glances at Ying Chengjiao: "Why do you have such delusions, Commander?"

Hope to be defeated by the enemy and underestimate them?

Commander, do you think that Dai Wangjia, Xiongnu Chanyu, Yan Wangxi and Zhao Wangqian are all idiots who only care about food and not fights?

Commander, what beautiful dreams are you having!

Ying Chengjiao shook his head regretfully: "I am greedy."

Zhang Liang, who has grown from a baby to a young man, said seriously: "What the commander said is not greedy."

"If the enemy of our Great Qin in this battle is only Dai, then the enemy commander must be Wu'an Jun."

"But the enemy of our Great Qin in this battle is eight countries!"

"In this case, the position of the commander in this battle may indeed change."

Yan Wangxi and the Xiongnu tribes had been beaten by Li Mu, so it is impossible for them not to understand Li Mu's courage. Zhao Wangqian deposed Li Mu on the battlefield, which led to the destruction of the country. If there is another chance, he will definitely seize it. Dai Wangjia may be willing to replace Li Mu, but Dai Wangjia has not yet formed an overwhelming advantage over Li Mu in the court. This commander is not something Dai Wangjia can choose if he wants.

But the current King of Donghu, Bater, has never fought against Li Mu. Bater, who claims to be a favored son of heaven, will not easily be under Li Mu. The existence of this force makes the position of the enemy commander uncertain, and makes Ying Chengjiao's guess possible to become a reality.

Zhang Liang pointed to the north of Taiyuan County of the Qin Dynasty on the Kunyu map and said in a deep voice: "But I think that even if Dai Wuan Jun is not the commander of this battle, he must be the commander of a detachment!"

"Dai Wuan Jun will not be unaware of the importance of speed in war, and will not understand that the speed of conveying orders is directly related to the victory or defeat of the war."

"I think that since Dai Wuan Jun is still living in the western foothills of Yinshan when the war is about to start, there is only one reason!"

"Dai Wuan Jun leads a detachment, and this detachment has been stationed in the northern part of Taiyuan County!"

Ying Chengjiao looked at the Kunyu map thoughtfully and said: "Does Sergeant Zhang think that Dai Wuan Jun wants to take advantage of the fact that the main force of the Qin Dynasty is out and attack the heart of the Qin Dynasty?"

Zhang Liang bowed his hands and saluted: "That's right!"

"As we all know, the west of Taiyuan County and the north of Shang County are the heartland of the Xiongnu, with a large number of troops."

"The Xiongnu tribes were beheaded by Dai Wu'an Jun in one battle, and they dared not bend their bows and look south. They are willing to obey Dai Wu'an Jun's command."

"Therefore, I think that Dai Wu'an Jun may use the Dai army as the elite and the Xiongnu army as the main force in this battle. He wants to take advantage of the fact that the war has started and our army is unprepared to lead a small army from the northwest of Dai to bypass the Great Wall, and then go south all the way and attack our Qin Xianyang City from the Taiyuan direction!"

Zhang Liang's voice became heavier: "Once Dai Wu'an Jun's troops threaten Xianyang City, no matter how our troops are doing, they will be in disarray."

"Once Dai Wu'an Jun's troops break through Xianyang City, no matter whether our troops win or lose, the Qin will be defeated!"

Is Zhang Liang's conjecture possible?

It is very likely, and it is a possibility that is very beneficial to the enemy!

Even if Ying Chengjiao led only a small group of elite troops to rush back to support as soon as he received the news, it would take at least a month to reach Xianyang City. If the troops wanted to retain a certain degree of combat effectiveness when they returned to Xianyang City, the time to return to support would have to be extended to one and a half to two months.

Imagine that Ying Chengjiao led almost all the young and strong men of the Qin Dynasty to fight the enemy to the north of Dukang, but Li Mu led the elite cavalry troops to attack Xianyang City and execute a decapitation operation. Ying Chengjiao was unable to return to support and could only watch Ying Zheng die in Xianyang City.

That scene...

All the generals in the tent were sweating coldly under the cold wind!

Yao Jia was unwilling to accept this possibility from the bottom of his heart: "When Dai Wu'an Jun was still Zhao Wu'an Jun, he also tried to quickly attack Xianyang City, but almost caused the destruction of Zhao State, and Zhao Wu'an Jun had to lead his troops to withdraw."

"If Dai Wu'an Jun uses the same trick again, Dai State will definitely be destroyed!"

"Will Dai Wu'an Jun not have such worries?!"

Zhang Liang shook his head and said: "If Dai Wu'an Jun uses the same trick again, Ji City will be broken and Shanggu County will fall into the hands of our Great Qin!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Liang asked back: "Is Ji City important to the King of Dai?"

"The King of Dai first lived in Handan, Then he lived in Wei, and later in Ji. "

"Both Wei County and Jicheng were the last resort for the King of Dai, and both were unfamiliar territories."

"If I were the King of Dai, I would use Jicheng as bait to lure the commander-in-chief to gather troops to attack Jicheng."

"And I would lead the families of important officials to rush west as soon as Dai Wu'an Jun attacked Xianyang City, and join Dai Wu'an Jun to seize the Guanzhong area of ​​Qin, and then use the dangers of Hangu Pass and Taihang Mountains to resist the commander-in-chief's reinforcements."

"Finally, the country will be settled in Guanzhong!"

No one is more suitable for the home-changing tactic than Dai Wangjia!

Because Dai Wangjia has no feelings for Dai or Jicheng.

If Dai Wangjia is asked to choose between Xianyang City and Jicheng, Dai Wangjia will definitely roll up his bedding and run to Xianyang City that day.

Yao Jia struggled to refute: "Dai Wu'an Jun may just be still heading north to seize food."

"When I saw Dai Wu'an Jun, the swords of Dai Wu'an Jun were stained with blood, and there were piles of corpses in the distance."

"Obviously a war has just broken out!"

"If Dai Wu'an Jun was willing to lead the Xiongnu Hu bandits, why would Dai Wu'an Jun start a war on the western foot of Yinshan Mountain?!"

This time, it was Li Mu's eldest son Li Bo who shook his head and said: "What Yao Shangqing said is what Dai Wu'an Jun can do."

"But Dai Duwei Hong and Dai Duwei Xian can see the events in the Qing Dynasty, they will not be unaware of Dai Wu'an Jun If he still disobeys the king's order and refuses to return to the court for Daidi's private affairs at this time, what consequences will he face? "

"There is only one word: death!"

"Dai Duwei Hong and Dai Duwei Xian are not the kind of people who are blindly loyal to Dai Wang. They will not sit idly by and watch Dai Wu'an Jun being killed by Dai Wang."

"Even if Dai Duwei Hong and Dai Duwei Xian cannot persuade Dai Wu'an Jun, they will definitely send a message to me and ask me to consider rescuing Dai Wu'an Jun."

"However, I have not received any letters so far."

Li Bo is not sure whether Li Hong and Li Xian can see the situation in the court clearly.

But that is not important. Li Bo has already sent two letters of his analysis (Ying Chengjiao sets the tone, Zhang Rang sets the strategy, Zhang Liang is the advisor, Li Zuoche makes up for the leak, and Mrs. Han corrects the error) to the two brothers.

Li Bo believes that Li Hong and Li Xian will never sit idly by and watch Li Mu die!

Yao Jia still wanted to struggle: "That or..."

But even the eloquent Yao Jia couldn't think of any other reason.

Li Mu: Is there a possibility that I am now tied up like a pig sacrifice and have lost the right to make decisions?

Yao Jia: Even the first-class generals of Qiang Huai and Feng Wu Ze can control their subordinates like an arm, let alone Wu Anjun who can kill the general Huan Xi of the Great Qin in battle? Let's talk about business, don't make such a brainless joke!

Ying Chengjiao exhaled deeply, looked at Kunyutu with a serious look and said: "What Corporal Zhang said is reasonable."

"Except for the advice given by Corporal Zhang, I can't think of any other reason why Dai Wu'an Jun is still lingering in the western foothills of Yinshan Mountain."

Su Jiao looked at Ying Chengjiao with a heavy heart: "Commander, should our army turn to Yinshan Mountain first and destroy Dai Wu'an Jun's troops to relieve the danger of Xianyang?"

Although Ying Chengjiao can seamlessly inherit the throne even if Ying Zheng dies, the fall of Xianyang City will not cause the collapse of the Qin Empire.

But Su Jiao knows very well how much Ying Chengjiao cares about Ying Zheng.

This battle can be lost, but Ying Zheng cannot die!
