Chapter 416 Three happy events! I'm just a civil servant, not a bastard in the wishing pond!
Listening to Ying Zheng's cheerful laughter, Wei Liao raised his hands and asked, "Dare you ask your Majesty, but is Chang'an Lord victorious?"
Listening to Wei Liao's question, it felt like listening to a question .
After all, the result of this battle has been announced by Dan Fu.
But this 'nonsense' made Ying Zheng feel even more joyful!
However, for the sake of the majesty of the king, Ying Zheng still suppressed his smile and said casually: "On September 27th, Lord Chang'an set fire to Dahong Mountain."
"More than 100,000 Chu troops were burned to the ground! "
"It's a pity that the Chu army's corpses were mostly charred, so it can't be considered the first achievement."
Wei Liao's eyes were dull and he asked in disbelief: "Chang'an Jun has burned and killed the Chu army. More than 100,000?”
“On September 27th”
"At that time, it was less than half a month before Lord Chang'an went on the expedition!"
Wei Liao really couldn't understand how Ying Chengyu achieved such results.
Calculating the distance, it would take Ying Chengyu seven or eight days to reach Dahong Mountain alone, even if the whole army was in a hurry!
Even though he has long been accustomed to the speed of Ying Chengyu's conquests, such a terrifying conquest speed still exceeded Wei Liao's expectations.
This is unreasonable!
However, Wei Liao's shock did not make Ying Zheng feel any suspicion about Ying Chengxuan's false claims of military exploits, but only made Ying Zheng's joy grow stronger.
Things that no one else can do, the king’s younger brother can do!
The humble king’s brother is mighty!
Ying Zheng suppressed the corner of his mouth with increasing force, and calmly ordered General Wang Bo to pass the report to Wei Liao: "The Chang'an Junjun report is here."
"Ai Qing, you can look at it for yourself. ”
Wei Liao ignored the etiquette and snatched the military report from Wang Bo's hand. His eyes quickly scanned the bamboo slips and he recited in a deep voice:
"I obey the king's order... Qin Chang'an Jun's son Cheng Yuyu Dahongshan is far away to pay homage to the king!"
After reading the military report, the shock in Wei Xiao's eyes did not diminish at all, but actually increased.
There was silence in the imperial study room.
Because Feng Quji and other court officials were all dumbfounded.
Appreciating the expressions of the ministers, Ying Zheng suppressed the corners of his mouth so hard that the corners of his mouth twitched.
After a few breaths, the imperial study room burst into cheers:
"Cai Caicai! What a fire! As expected of me, Lord Chang'an of Great Qin!"
" After this battle, Chu Shangzhu’s troops no longer have anything to fear!”
“Isn’t Chu claiming to be a descendant of Zhu Rong? This time let the Chu people see who is the real Zhu Rong, ha! Haha~ Lord Changan, make our country more powerful!”
Among them, Han Cang laughed the loudest.
He was worried about Da Qin's food reserves, when Ying Chengyu gave him a surprise.
If the Chu State retreats hastily because of this battle, then the pressure on Da Qin’s food and grass will be much lighter!
Although every time Ying Chengyu left Neishi County, he would cause trouble that no one could have imagined, making everyone in Great Qin uneasy.
Although Ying Chengyu repeatedly destroyed Great Qin's overall strategic plan, the Great Qin court was forced to revise its strategy many times.
Although Ying Chengyu had single-handedly made the four countries form an alliance without a treaty, started a world war, realized the lifelong wishes of many politicians, and almost put Da Qin into a dilemma where the whole world was the enemy.
But if there is a war, Ying Chengyu can really win!
All the courtiers raised their hands in excitement:
“I congratulate you, the Lord of Chang’an!”
“I congratulate you, the king!”
"I congratulate Great Qin!"
For Great Qin, this battle was definitely not as simple as burning and killing more than 100,000 Chu troops.
After this victory, Qi will become more determined to follow Qin's footsteps, and the possibility of Yan's alliance with Zhao and Chu will be minimized.
If the Qin envoys could work harder, the Yan State would probably be seduced by the Qin Army's victory, and actually join the Qin Army's camp, and follow the Qin Army to attack Zhao State.
If this is true, the balance of the war will be completely reversed!
Ying Zheng could no longer hold back the joy in his heart and laughed heartily:
“My brother, the king, is really brave!”
“How lucky I am to have my brother!”
< br>"Great Qin is so lucky!"
The front line has won, which is a joy.
Brother Wang won, which was a double blessing!
In both public and private matters, Ying Zheng is overjoyed!
One of the messengers handed over his hand with a discerning eye: "Your Majesty, I am happy to report even a humble position!"
Ying Zheng smiled and looked at this person: "Oh? There is one more thing. "How happy?"
Shi Chang hurriedly held up the bamboo tube with both hands: "Our team also wins!"
Ying Zheng hurriedly said: "Pass!"
Wang Bo ran down the high platform again and took the bamboo slips from the messenger.
But this time, Ying Zheng was not interested in reading it in person first. Instead, he smiled and said, "My dearest friends."
Li Si was speechless.
Should the difference in treatment be so obvious?
After Wang Bo bowed his hands and saluted, he unfolded the bamboo slips and recited in a deep voice: "My lord, General Yan Qi reports to the king!"
"On September 1st, Lord Wu'an of Zhao (Li Mu) took me to Tunliu County, and Zhao Changguo Jun (Lejian) led one hundred thousand troops to attack Jinyang City."
"On September 6, after Zhao Wuan took all the Changzhi territory, he marched westward to Zhongdu City. On September 24th, the commander of the army broke through the siege with his elite troops, and deployed his garrison troops to attack the enemy, and defeated the king of Zhao Chang. "
"In this battle, the commander of the army captured 4,600 enemy soldiers. At level 103, 3,172 people from Paoze were killed and 6,531 were seriously injured. King Zhao Chang's troops collapsed into the Taihang Mountains. "
"On September 27th, General Mo will lead his troops to Zhongdu City, and cooperate with the Zhongdu garrison to fight against Zhao Wuanjun."
"So far, we have been testing the enemy's head and captured the enemy's head level 1,300. , 1,102 people from Paoze were killed and 1,613 people were seriously injured."
"The general expected that Lord Zhao Wu'an intended to have a long-term confrontation, so he sent a partial division into Changzhi to cut off Zhao's army. ."
"Please tell me what to do next."
"On September 29th, General Huan Jue paid homage to your Majesty outside Zhongdu City."
Wei Liao stroked his beard and smiled: "General Jun is worthy of being our veteran general of the Qin Dynasty. He is calm and brave, and he is at every step of the way!"
"Colorful!"
Li Si and other courtiers also nodded and smiled: "Yes After the defeat of the partial army, he regrouped and turned defeat into victory. General Ju is worthy of being the general of our Qin Dynasty! "" Now the Lord of Chang'an has won the victory in Chu State. As long as General Tuo can maintain the confrontation with the Zhao army, it will be the same for our Great Qin Dynasty! Good thing."
"Now our army is guarding Jinyang and Pingyao. If we can recapture Changzhi, we can trap Zhao Wu'an's troops on the line of Taihang Mountain and catch the turtle in the jar! I don’t want to win!”
Huanjue's performance in this battle was quite dazzling.
However, with Ying Chengyu's record in front of him, Huanjue's record really made it impossible for the officials to praise loudly from the bottom of their hearts.
The ministers even breathed a sigh of relief.
Strategic arrangements and confrontational stalemates are calculated on a monthly basis, and battle losses on both sides are measured in thousands.
This is what war should be like!
If it weren't for the battle between Huanjue, they would have almost suspected that they hadn't gone on an expedition for too long and had become out of touch with the wars of this era!
Ying Zheng gave the final affirmation: "With General Tuo guarding our northeastern part of the Qin Dynasty, I have nothing to worry about!"
Soon Ying Zheng looked at the last messenger: "Why? "Military information?"
The messenger hurriedly handed over the bamboo slips with both hands: "General Jian, urgent military information!"
Wang Bo made another trip and said in a deep voice after opening the bamboo slips. : "My lord, General Jian Qi reports to your Majesty!"
"The Chu army is defending instead of attacking, and its morale is so high that it is difficult to defeat it quickly."
"The general also wants to continue the stalemate with the Chu army in order to find the Chu army's flaws. He implores the court to reserve food and grass for our army so that it can be easily Our army has been fighting fiercely for a long time!"
"On September 26th, General Jian went to Chencheng to pay homage to the king!"
Listening to Wang Bo's voice, the last soldier's face turned red. .
The other two colleagues came to announce the good news, but he was the only one who came to collect food and grass!
So embarrassing!
Han Cang was furious: "Eight months! Only eight months!"
"There won't be one more!"
"Really It’s gone!”
He is just a civil servant, not the bastard in the wishing pond!
Wang Jian said that if you want to have a long-term confrontation, you can have a long-term confrontation?
Han Cang really can’t produce food!
Ying Zheng comforted him with a helpless and gentle voice: "Han Shangqing, there is no need to be anxious."
"Since General Jian has made such a judgment, it is natural that General Jian has reasons."
< br>“What we have to do is to give the frontline generals the greatest trust and support!”
"My dear friends, let us discuss what our Great Qin should do next!"
Han Cang stepped forward without hesitation and handed over his hands: "I advise you that after Lord Chang'an has wiped out Chu Shangzhu's troops, Move the Lord of Chang'an to the direction of Chencheng."
"And order the Lord of Chang'an to join forces with General Jian's troops, with Lord Chang'an as the commander, and attack the Chu region quickly."
"Send envoys at the same time! Go to Chu to lobby the King of Chu and persuade him to retreat!"
Which one is better in blitz warfare? Found a dragon in Chang'an Township!
Faced with Wang Jian's request for more food and grass, Han Cang decisively sold his benefactor.
However, from Han Cang's point of view, his behavior was not considered selling out.
Han Cang believes that Ying Chengyu can definitely bring another victory to Great Qin.
Ying Chengyu might have to thank him after hearing this!
However, Ying Zheng directly vetoed Han Cang's proposal: "I am sitting in Xianyang with all my dear friends and do not know the situation on the front line."
"How can we force the frontline generals to change their tactics!"
"Don't urge Chang'an Lord and General Jian to fight quickly!"
"However, I sent an envoy to the Chu State to lobby the King of Chu to withdraw the army. We can discuss it again."
Han Cang reluctantly stepped back, and Wei Xiao stepped forward and handed over his hand: "I think that with the victory of Dahongshan, there is no need to worry about the Yan army."
"Can order. General Meng Wu attacked Zhao, firstly to further force Zhao and at the same time to provide temptation to Yan.”
"The second is to feed the enemy to relieve the pressure on the baggage."
The ministers came to remonstrate and discussed endlessly.
But after repeated discussions, we could not come up with a better solution.
After all, no one can make more food.
The enemy troops will not retreat on their own.
Fortunately, if the Mengwu Department, which is farthest along the baggage line, can solve part of the food and grass problem on its own, Qin's food and grass pressure can also be alleviated to a certain extent.
In the end, Ying Zheng could only give an order: "Order!"
"Assemble General Mengwu to attack Zhao Neihuang!"
"Send envoys to the State of Yan to The King of Yan explained the interests and asked the King of Yan to abide by the covenant. "
"Send an envoy to Chu to discuss the matter of truce."
The Qin court did everything it could.
Next, we can only see if one of these four battlefields can take the lead in opening up the situation!
——
Just as the monarchs and ministers of Qin were discussing their next move, several scouts rushed into the Chu army's tent.
“Vice General Jing is back!”
"Lieutenant Xiang is back too!"
"But..."
Hearing the scout's message, Xiang Yan even forgot to put on his cloak, hurriedly rushed out of the tent, got on his horse, and headed towards He sped away in Xiang Rong's direction.
Finally, Xiang Yan saw his eldest son.
The son who used to be tall, strong, handsome, and confident, and whom Xiang Yan was proud of, is now disheveled, with blood-stained robes, smoke and fire, and even his thin beard has been burned. He was completely naked, and the war horse under his crotch was nowhere to be seen. He was using his halberd as a crutch to lead more than twenty generals wearing armor towards him.
In an instant, Xiang Yan's eyes turned red and her voice became hoarse:
"Rong'er!"
Hearing a familiar voice from afar, Xiang Yan was as exhausted as a walking zombie. Rong slowly raised his head, his blurred eyes looked in the direction of Xiang Yan, and slowly focused.
When he saw Xiang Yan's figure clearly, Xiang Rong couldn't bear it anymore and burst into tears:
"Ah Weng!"
