My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?

February 23, the 17th year of Qin Wangzheng.

Bater is still attacking Yicheng.

But Bater's mood at this moment is very different from when he first arrived in Yicheng.

To this day, Bater's troops have been attacking the Yishui Great Wall for a full month.

However, let alone taking down the Yishui Great Wall, even the fortress of Yicheng, which is protruding from the Yishui Great Wall, still has no sign of collapse. It is even like a turtle that Bater cannot attack, and occasionally sticks his head out and bites off a piece of flesh.

In a month of siege, the number of soldiers killed in Bater's troops has reached nearly 30,000!

More importantly, the morale of the army is turbulent!

Looking at Yicheng, which is as still as a mountain under the setting sun, Bater can only say with a serious face: "Sound the gong!"

"Dangdangdang~~~"

Accompanied by the crisp sound of bronze gongs, the allied soldiers besieged around Yicheng rushed to retreat like a tide.

Just as Bater summoned all the generals to summarize the experience of today's siege, a messenger came running from the north, shouting: "Report! Urgent military information!"

Batter's heart was immediately startled, and he said solemnly: "Report!"

Looking at the scout leader running over, Bater couldn't hide his fatigue and asked: "What military information is there in the north?"

"But has any city fallen?"

The scout leader's expression was uglier than crying: "According to the news from the Yan army that controls the water."

"Zhao..."

"Has surrendered!"

A question mark appeared above Bater's head, and he hurriedly took out the Kunyu map to confirm the territory of Zhao.

Mao Sui couldn't help but exclaimed: "Zhao surrendered? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"Zhao Xiang Nangong Wen is loyal to Zhao and does not lean towards Qin."

"How could Zhao surrender!"

Mao Sui believed that he had a good grasp of Nangong Wen's mind, and sent a large amount of treasures and horses to appease Nangong Wen.

In Mao Sui's view, Nangong Wen would never surrender to Qin.

Not to mention that Nangong Wen still harbored hatred for Qin in his heart, even if Nangong Wen suppressed his hatred and wanted to surrender, he should have surrendered when Zhao was first destroyed. In this way, Nangong Wen could at least be promoted to county magistrate now, which is more cost-effective than surrendering now?

As for Zhao Wangqian's intentions? Mao Sui did not take it into consideration at all.

In Mao Sui's mind, Zhao Wangqian was still the little brat who followed Guo Kai and obeyed Guo Kai and Queen Zhao Daochang in everything. What intentions could he have?

Even if he had intentions, what's the use!

The scout handed over the bamboo tube with both hands and said solemnly: "I don't know the details."

"Here is the military report!"

Mao Sui snatched the military report, checked the seal and quickly took out the bamboo slips and unfolded them. Then his pupils were shocked: "The King of Zhao actually bypassed the interception and search of the Zhao ministers, and personally killed the Zhao Xiang Nangong Wen, and took the initiative to find Qin Chang'an Jun to surrender?!"

"How could this be? How could this be!"

"King Zhao, are you suffering from a brain disease?!"

Mao Sui never expected that the King of Zhao Qian, whom he regarded as a kid, would do such a big thing!

Bater finally had a clear understanding of Zhao's position through Kunyutu, and frowned and said: "Zhao's surrender is very disadvantageous to our army!"

Li Ke also said solemnly: "The commander is right!"

"Zhao has surrendered now, so there is no need to worry about the food and grass needed to hold on until the autumn harvest. The grain in the country can be used to support Qin Chang'an Jun's troops, and there is no need to transport it over long distances, which greatly reduces the cost."

"With this food and grass, Qin Chang'an Jun has a chance to hold on until the East China Sea thaws and ships can sail."

"By then, Qin Chang'an Jun's troops will no longer have to worry about food and grass, but our army's food supply has been blocked by the Qin army, and the food supply is worrying and cannot withstand a long-term battle!"

"Shameless King Zhao, you have harmed our coalition forces!"

Li Ke pointed out the difficult dilemma that Bater's troops will face.

Batter originally planned to cut off Ying Chengjiao's food supply and deplete Ying Chengjiao's food reserves, causing Ying Chengjiao's troops to be defeated without fighting.

But with the surrender of Zhao, Ying Chengjiao's troops not only harvested a large amount of food and grass, but also opened up a food route, and no longer had to worry about food shortages.

On the contrary, Bater's troops were trapped in a dilemma of having their food route cut off, and they might be defeated without fighting!

Bater shouted angrily: "King Zhao, you are really shameless!"

"Prime Minister Li!"

"There are still 50,000 Yan troops on the front line of water control."

"I want the King of Yan to personally lead these 50,000 troops to attack Zhao's old land."

"How long does Prime Minister Li think it will take for this army to capture Changcheng?"

Li Ke shook his head without hesitation and said: "Impossible, no matter how long it takes."

"As the Prime Minister of Yan, I know the weakness of the Yan army best."

"In recent years, the Yan army has fought many wars with the Qin army. Many important ministers of our Great Yan, such as Jiang Qu, Shang Qing Qi Pao, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers, have all died in battle, but they have never won even one victory. Even though our Great Yan Yan has more than ten times the number of Qin troops, but still cannot win. "

"Qin Chang'an Jun only needs to leave 10,000 Qin troops to defend Zhao's territory, and he can fight against 50,000 Yan troops without being defeated, or even win the battle!"

"Not to mention that the main force of Qin Chang'an Jun is not far from Zhao. Not only do I not think that these 50,000 Yan troops can seize Zhao's territory, I am even worried that Qin Chang'an Jun will swallow these 50,000 Yan troops on a whim and harm my king!"

Li Ke seemed to be not the prime minister of Yan at all. He did not consider the face of the Yan army at all. He pointed out the weakness of the Yan army mercilessly and with examples, and completely rejected Bater's idea.

Expect the Yan army to fight Qin Chang'an Jun head-on and take Changcheng?

The Yan army is a bunch of trash, and it can't be relied on at all, this is what the prime minister said!

Battelle asked in shock: "Only ten thousand Qin troops can defeat the Yan army?"

"How could the Yan army be so exhausted!"

"Isn't Prime Minister Li just talking nonsense to evade military orders?!"

From Battelle's perspective, although the Yan army was not considered elite and was far inferior to the Dai army, its performance in siege battles was far better than that of the Donghu troops.

With such troops and horses, against the Qin army with a strength advantage of five times, not only could they not win, but they might even lose?

Li Ke asked back: "Otherwise, why did my country, Dayan, lose consecutive battles and its territory was suddenly reduced?"

"Why has our army been unable to succeed in attacking Yicheng?"

What he said made Battle speechless!

As the Prime Minister of the Yan State, Li Ke had devalued himself to such an extent that he even lost his face. Battelle really could not and dared not hand over the life of the entire army to the Yan Army. He could only ask instead: "You virtuous people, do you have any good advice?" ?”

This was the first time that Battelle called Mao Sui, Li Ke and other generals virtuous!

However, now that the matter has come to this, who can give good advice?

Touman Shanyu said seriously: "The general will think that the war situation has developed to this point, and the place of Dukang is no longer important."

"The general admonishes us to change the direction of attack and defense."

"Guard the south of Dukang and attack the north of Dukang!"

"At the same time, please ask King Dai and King Yan to lead their troops to attack Lord Qin Chang'an's headquarters from the north, form a north-south pincer attack with our army as soon as possible, and attack Lord Qin Chang'an's headquarters fiercely!"

Li Ke immediately refuted: "No!"

"Qin is good at fighting in the field, but Hu and the Tungus warriors are good at attacking and fighting in the field."

"The land of Dukang is only two hundred miles wide, which is not enough to help our army fully deploy. All the soldiers and horses will be piled up in one place, and there will be no depth to turn around, let alone attack the land of Tengzhuan."

"If our army attacks the Qin army in the Dukang area, our advantage will be wasted."

"Are we going to let the Tungus warriors line up in a row and fight the Qin army head-on?"

What Li Ke said is a problem that the coalition must face.

If a decisive battle is held in the land of Dukang, it will be tantamount to tying the feet of the Xiongnu and Donghu soldiers and horses, and then allowing them to confront Qin head-on.

How can I beat him?

Barter nodded in agreement: "What Xiang Li said makes sense!"

"Does Mr. Li have any good advice regarding the current situation of our army?"

Li Ke said in a deep voice: "Now Zhuocheng is still in the hands of our army."

"The general admonishes our army to go to Zhuocheng, go to Wuyang, and enter the Dai territory."

"The land of Dai is vast and flat, and the north is the grassland. It is an excellent land suitable for our army!"

Touman Shanyu repeatedly refuted: "Absolutely not!"

"According to Ben Shanyu's investigation, if you want to enter Daidi from Wuyang City, you can only go west through Puyinxing, then go to Laicheng or go north to Feihuxing."

"Although Puyinxing is relatively wide, its narrowest point is still only more than ten feet."

"If our army penetrates deep into Puyinxing and is intercepted by the Qin army, our army will suffer a disastrous defeat!"

Li Ke smiled and looked at Battelle and cupped his hands: "The mountains and forests are difficult for Hu and Huaxia."

"That's why Touman Chanyu is worried about this."

“But for the Tunguska warriors, it’s like coming to the plains.”

"If the Qin army really dares to attack our army near Puyinxing, it may be an unexpected surprise for our army!"

Li Ke spoke the truth.

For the Donghu people who grew up in the mountains and forests of Northeast China, entering the Taihang Mountains is like going home!

On the other hand, the crossbows of the Qin army were difficult to deploy in the mountains and forests, and it was even more difficult to form military formations and exert the power of the battle formations.

If Ying Chengyu and Battelle really go to war in the Taihang Mountains, it is still unclear who will win and who will lose!

After thinking for a moment, Battle solemnly said: "This is a very good policy by Prime Minister Li!"

Touman Shanyu opened his mouth to speak, but in the end he suppressed his impulse and cupped his hands and said: "The Taihang Mountains and Forests are really difficult for us, the warriors of the Hu State, to navigate."

"The last general gave advice, and the last general personally led the Hu warriors to the north."

"Even if we can't fight the main force of the Qin army, we can at least draw in the enemy's forces for our army."

Battle looked at Touman Shanyu hesitantly and said: "This will be detrimental to Hu Guoda!"

Battle didn't believe that Touman Shanyu would be so selfless!

Touman Chanyu looked at Battle sincerely and said: "In case the general dies in battle, please take care of the general's son!"

For a while, Battelle couldn't think of any disadvantages to Man Shanyu's move to the coalition. Moreover, if the Xiongnu could involve and block Qin Chang'anjun's troops, it would also allow Battelle's troops to cross the Taihang Mountains and enter Daidi more safely. .

Therefore, even though Battelle was hesitant, he still made a sincere promise: "I will live up to my expectations!"

"If Touman Chanyu really dies in battle, you, I, the king, will protect him!"

"Until you can ride your horse and gallop, anyone who is an enemy of Hu will be an enemy of Tunguska!"

Touman Shanyu hit his heart with his right fist with a grateful look on his face: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Touman Shanyu reined in his horse and retreated. His face was full of fearless death, but he was relieved in his heart.

Barter didn't know what Touman Shanyu was thinking, so he solemnly shouted: "Pass this king's order!"

"All the ministries set up camp and assemble the army."

"Make food before sunrise tomorrow. When the sun rises, you will go north to Zhuocheng with me!"
