My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?

On October 10, the ninth year of the reign of Emperor Qin.

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 baggage 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.

All of this made Wancheng extremely depressed.

But what was more depressing than Wancheng was 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 didn't answer and asked instead: "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 Chengxuan 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 court, our army is fighting in the enemy's territory, and Xicheng is still in chaos."

"As the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, I have the obligation to leave (act as an agent) to order Xicheng. This is the law of military merit."

"If the princes in the court are unwilling, please revise Qin's laws first!"

Yang Hu became increasingly worried: "General, your move is indeed in line with the law of military merit."

"But will this offend the court?"

Of course, Ying Chengyu knew that this move would dissatisfy many ministers in the court. After all, Ying Zheng rejected the court's arrangement.

But the imperial court stopped distributing food and grass to Ying Chenglong for a long time.

Xicheng fully assumed the role of the granary of Ying Chengyu's headquarters, and the responsibility of transporting grain and grass was 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 all that awaits Ying Chengyun is death!

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 also wanting Ying Zheng to feel Ying Chengyu's trust in him, Ying Chengyu wouldn't let Ying Zheng's officials take over Xicheng, so how could he possibly hand over the city to him? 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 Chengyu asked, "Is this general breaking the law?"

Yang Hu was a little helpless: "Of course not."

Ying Cheng asked with a smile: "Then what are you worried about?"

Yang Hu was speechless.

What Ying Chengyu did was indeed not illegal, but you may not be able to do anything that is not illegal!

It's not illegal for Zhao Ji to delay Ying Zheng's crowning. Do you think Ying Zheng is 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 his 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 unite the five countries, Zhao is likely to send troops!"

"There are also quite a few voices calling for war in the Wei court."

Yang Hu frowned and explained carefully: "Four years ago, we, the Qin Dynasty, captured 20 cities including Jujube from Wei State and established them as Dongjun."

"Three years ago, we, the Qin Dynasty, captured the Chaoge of the Wei State. Two years ago, we, the Great Qin Dynasty, captured the territory of the Wei State."

"Many generals of the Wei State intend to take this opportunity to avenge themselves and regain their 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 view, 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 very 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 knife from the back!

Ying Chengyu was very relaxed about this: "If the three countries of Han, Zhao and Wei really send troops, then our army will just retreat to Xicheng."

"In any case, our army has captured a city during this expedition, with more than 6,000 troops in total."

"It's hard to say that Vice General Yang and other generals will be promoted, but their existing false (acting) positions can definitely be turned into regular positions."

Yang Hu suddenly understood.

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 war, since when did he begin to expect the results of this battle?

I even fantasize about capturing the important city of Wancheng!

This is so 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!"

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 with several small objects in his hands.

Just a stone's throw away from the city gate, the leading man fell to his knees and shouted loudly:

"Nanyang County pretends to be the guardian, Teng, is willing to lead Nanyang County to surrender to Qin!"

At the same time, the Korean military flag that was originally flying on the city wall also tilted, fell, and disappeared from everyone's eyes.

From the city wall came the feeble voices of the Korean soldiers:

"I'm waiting for you!"

Yang Hu:! ! !

Surrender?

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 central army."

"Colonel Feng Ting led the front army to take over the city, and Colonel Zhou Yan led the middle army to guard the surrounding areas."

"Personal soldiers come forward with me!"

Before he finished speaking, Ying Chengyu had already clamped his horse's belly and led his troops to gallop out.

At this point, Yang Hu finally came to his senses and shouted excitedly: "Wei!"

Ten steps in front of Teng Fu, Ying Chengyu tightened the reins and turned over to dismount.

But Ying Chengyu didn't help Tengfu up, he just shouted solemnly:

"The commander-in-chief of Great Qin's Eastern Army, Prince Cheng, accepts the surrender on behalf of Great Qin!"

Tengfu's head hung lower, but the wooden plate in his hand was raised higher:

"This is the seal, letter, and order of the fake guard of Nanyang County. General Wan Wang will accept it!"

Ying Chengyu stepped forward with square steps, stood still in front of Teng Fu, bowed slightly, took the wooden plate from Teng Fu's hand with both hands, 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:

"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:

"Great Qin will be victorious!"

Amidst the deafening cheers, Ying Chengyu showed a smile and helped Teng Fu up with both hands: "Brother Teng! It's so hard for me to wait for you!"

Teng Fu forced 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!"

Teng Fu breathed a sigh of relief and took the initiative to speak: "Teng has not been serving as the false guardian of Nanyang for a long time, but he has been serving as the magistrate of Nanyang County for more than three years. He is somewhat weak in front of the county magistrates in various cities."

"If the Lord of Chang'an trusts me, please don't use weapons for now. I am willing to go to each city in person to persuade you to surrender!"

Ying Chengyu was slightly surprised: "If you can win without fighting, I will naturally be happy."

"How confident is Brother Teng?"

Tengfu showed a confident smile: "80%."

Being able to say this means that Tengfu's inner confidence may be 100%!

A bold idea couldn't help but emerge in Ying Chengyu's mind.
