Chapter 62 From now on, Nanyang County is the land of Qin!
October 10th, the ninth year of the Qin Dynasty.
The Qin army did not adopt the standard siege formation of three towers and one tower. Instead, they surrounded Wancheng with military formations and tents.
Although Ying Chengyu promised not to attack the city within three days, he did not delay the Qin army's preparations.
The transport camp has begun to pile up earth and rocks to disconnect the Wancheng moat from the Baihe River and release the water in the moat.
The rear sergeants rolled up their sleeves and worked harder, preparing to build an earthen wall outside Wancheng to isolate Wancheng's baggage passage.
Everything makes Wancheng extremely depressed.
But what is more oppressive than Wancheng is the Qin Army's Zhongjun.
"General, the officials sent by the imperial court have begun to complain to the imperial court." Yang Hu's face was full of anxiety: "Does our army really not hand over Xicheng to the imperial court for management first?"
Ying Chengyu did not answer and asked: "Didn't the imperial court send a second batch of officials?"
Ying Chengyu and Ying Zheng agreed to send several officials loyal to Ying Zheng to take over Wancheng.
But the first batch of officials who arrived were all from the Lu Buwei or Lao Ai families.
How could Ying Chengyu accept it?
Yang Hu shook his head: "No!"
Ying Chengxuan replied decisively: "Then Xicheng will continue to be closed and officials sent by the imperial court will not be allowed to enter."
"Reporting to the imperial court, our army is fighting in the enemy's territory, and Xicheng is still in war."
"As the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, I have the obligation to leave (acting as an agent) to command Xicheng. This is a military merit. "The law is determined."
"If the princes in the court are unwilling, please fix the Qin law first!"
Yang Hu became increasingly worried: "General, your move is indeed in line with the law of military merit."
“But will this offend the imperial court?”
Of course, Ying Chengyu knew that this move would dissatisfy many ministers in the court. After all, Ying Chengyu refused the court's arrangement.
But the imperial court stopped distributing food and grass to Ying Chenglong for a long time.
Xicheng fully assumes the role of the granary of Ying Chengyu's headquarters, and the responsibility of transporting grain and grass is also borne by the young people of Xicheng.
More importantly, Xicheng was stuck on the way back to Qin under Ying Chengyu.
If Ying Chengyun fails to attack South Korea and is pushed back by the Korean army, and Xicheng closes its gates again, then there is only a dead end waiting for Ying Chengyun!
Moreover, Ying Chengyu still hoped to rely on Xicheng to resist Lao Ai's attack.
If it weren’t for the purpose of reassuring Ying Zheng and at the same time wanting Ying Zheng to feel Ying Chengxuan’s trust in him, Ying Chengxuan would not have allowed officials from Yingzheng’s group to take over Xicheng. How could it be possible? Leave this city to the enemy!
As for the officials under Lao Ai and Lu Buwei, will they be furious because of this?
This is a life-and-death struggle, not a dinner party!
What’s the point of being a little angry?
Ying Chengxuan asked: "Is this general breaking the law?"
Yang Hu was helpless: "Of course not."
Ying Chengxuan asked with a smile: "Then what are you worried about."
Yang Hu was speechless.
What Ying Chengyu did was indeed not illegal, but it may not be possible to do something that is not illegal!
It's not illegal for Zhao Ji to delay Ying Zheng's crowning. Do you think Ying Zheng will be angry?
But these words were obviously not what he should say, so he changed the topic: "South Korea has asked Zhao, Wei and Chu for help."
"King Han of Chu is observing filial piety and is unwilling to Send troops."
"But Zhao General Pang Nuan personally went to Handan to persuade King Zhao to send troops to help. With Pang Nuan's ability to control the five countries, Zhao Guo is likely to send troops! There is quite a call for a fight.”
Yang Hu frowned and explained carefully: "Four years ago, we, the Qin Dynasty, captured the Wei State's Suizao and other 20 cities and established them as Dongjun." Years ago, we, the Qin Dynasty, captured the territory of the Wei State. "
"Many generals of the Wei State intend to take this opportunity to take revenge and regain the lost territory."
"General, the situation is very unfavorable to our army. "
"If our army cannot capture Wancheng quickly, we will probably face the Three Kingdoms Alliance in the end!"
After counting, Yang Hu felt a little itchy.
In just four years, the Qin Dynasty took over one and a half counties of the Wei State. This feud became even bigger!
In Yang Hu's opinion, the probability of Wei sending troops is very high.
If Yang Hu knew more about the situation in the court, Yang Hu would probably become an ant on the hot pot.
Because Lao Ai is likely to send envoys to lobby Wei and Zhao, inviting them to take the initiative to send troops, and then stab Ying into a dragon's knife from the back!
Ying Chengxuan was very relaxed about this: "If the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao and Wei really send troops, then our army will return to Xicheng."
"In any case, our army has captured a city during this expedition. "It's hard to say that Vice General Yang and the other generals will be promoted, but the existing false (acting) positions can definitely be converted into regular positions."
Yang Hu suddenly became enlightened.
Yes.
This expedition is fundamentally different from ordinary expeditions. If you don't lose money, you have already made a profit.
Knowing that Ying Chengyu has never fought in a battle, since when did he begin to have extravagant expectations for the outcome of this battle?
I even fantasize about capturing the important city of Wancheng!
This is really ridiculous...
Suddenly, Yang Hu sat up straight, pressed the hilt of his sword with his right hand, and shouted in a deep voice: "Open the west gate of Wancheng!"
< br>
Following Yang Hu's words, everyone looked towards the completed West City Gate.
They thought they would see a troop of soldiers and horses coming out of Wancheng!
But what appeared in their eyes were only three men wearing Korean official robes.
Each man held a wooden plate in his hands with several small objects on it.
As soon as he walked out of the city gate, the leading man fell to his knees and shouted loudly:
"Nanyang County pretends to be a guard, Teng, is willing to lead Nanyang County to surrender to Qin!"
At the same time, the Korean military flag that was originally floating on the city wall also tilted, fell, and disappeared from everyone's eyes.
The feeble voices of the Korean soldiers came from the city wall:
“We are willing to surrender!”
Yang Hu:! ! !
Surrendered?
Did our army really capture Wancheng? !
Isn’t this a joke!
Ying Chengyu laughed heartily and shouted loudly: "Vice General Yang Hu is in charge of the Chinese Army."
"Colonel Feng Ting led the front army to prepare to take over the city, and Colonel Zhou Yan led the Chinese army to be on guard. All around.”
"The soldiers will come forward with me!"
Before he finished speaking, Ying Chengyu had already clamped his horse's belly and led his soldiers to rush out.
At this point, Yang Hu finally came to his senses and shouted excitedly: "Wei!"
Ten steps in front of Teng Fu, Ying Chengxu tightened the reins, turned over and dismounted.
But Ying Chengyu did not help Tengfu up, he just shouted solemnly:
"The commander-in-chief of the Eastern Army of the Great Qin Dynasty, the young master Cheng Xi, surrendered on behalf of the Great Qin Dynasty!"
Tengfu's head hung lower, but he raised the wooden plate in his hand higher:
"This It is the seal, letter, and order of the fake guard of Nanyang County. General Wanwang accepts it."
Ying Chengyu stepped forward, stood in front of Teng Fu, bowed slightly, and took Teng Fu with both hands! The husband held the wooden plate in his hand and said in a deep voice:
"The seal, letter and order have been accepted."
"Since then."
"Nanyang County is the land of Qin!"
The soldiers roared excitedly:
"The Great Qin will be victorious!"
The Qin troops who were still besieging the city gate in the distance didn't know what was going on, but since everyone else was shouting, they also joined in and shouted:
"The Qin Dynasty will be victorious!"
Amidst the deafening cheers, Ying Chengyu smiled and helped Teng Fu up with both hands: "Brother Teng! It's so hard for me to wait for you!"
Teng Fu forced out a smile: "I hope Lord Chang'an will take care of you in the future and don't let Nanyang Guizhou suffer."
Ying Chengyu nodded solemnly: "This must be the case!"
< br>Teng Fu breathed a sigh of relief and took the initiative to speak: "Teng has not been serving as Nanyang's false governor for a long time, but he has been serving as Nanyang County Magistrate for more than three years, and he is somewhat thin-faced in front of the county magistrates in various cities."
< br>
"If the Lord of Chang'an trusts me, please don't use weapons first. I am willing to go to each city in person to persuade you to surrender!"
Ying Chengyu was slightly surprised: "If we can win without fighting, I will naturally be happy. "
"How confident is Brother Teng?"
Teng Fu showed a confident smile: "80%."
Being able to say this means Teng Fu. The inner confidence may be 100%!
A bold idea couldn't help but emerge in Ying Chengyu's mind.
