My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?

Corpses and blood stained a bloody path between the south gate and the north gate of Xinzheng City.

No one was cleaning, only crows flew in in droves, expressing their gratitude for the feast with their piercing cries.

In the commander's tent in front of the Qin army, Yang Hu reported the statistical results of the military magistrates to Ying Chengyu.

"In this battle, our front army formation was cut down 2,103 levels, and 692 people were killed."

"The Chinese army defeated nine hundred and thirty-seven levels, and no one was killed."

"Nanyang's military formation kills..."

Yang Hu looked at the bamboo slips again to confirm that he had read correctly before speaking: "The formation killed 12,808 levels, and 5,391 people were killed."

After saying this, all the generals looked at Teng Fu, their eyes full of shock.

The old and weak among the Nanyang defenders had already been sent home by Ying Chengyu, and more than 10,000 people were left to cooperate with the Qin army's defenders in managing the city.

This time, only more than 41,000 Nanyang soldiers went out to fight.

In this battle alone, more than 5,000 Nanyang soldiers were killed, and their battle losses exceeded 13.1%. This was already the morale collapse line for many troops.

It was just the first round of field battle between the two armies.

As for the beating so fiercely?

Teng Fu naturally understood why these generals looked at him in such a way.

With his eyes lowered, Teng Fu gave a complex explanation in his heart: "Soldiers have lived a lifetime of hardship and don't want to suffer any more."

"So the soldiers are not afraid of death, they are just afraid that death is not worth it!"

"But our Nanyang soldiers have experienced few battles. After the Korean army's formation was chaotic, our army's formation also became chaotic. The generals and generals were not seen, and we only maintained the most basic formation of a few soldiers, which added many casualties."

"The last general also doesn't have much battle experience. He made many omissions when commanding and made many wrong commands."

"Therefore, many people died in battle!"

Tengfu also didn't want Nanyang soldiers to be so seriously injured.

But after the fight, Tengfu could no longer control the army!

Ying Chengqiu said in a warm voice: "Why is Captain Teng so unreasonable as to belittle himself?"

"To gain 7,417 levels in a field battle is already a great victory!"

"Ordinary generals can be promoted to a higher rank just by relying on this battle."

"Captain Teng's situation is special. How to reward him can only be decided by the king, but the sacrifices of the soldiers will not be in vain."

"After the first three days of the attack and the verification of military merits, I will personally award military merits to the Nanyang soldiers!"

Teng Fu solemnly raised his hands: "Thank you, General!"

Ying Chengyu looked at the captains.

"In this battle, our army's formation killed more than 15,000 Korean troops, and more than 10,000 Korean troops fled in all directions and did not return to the city."

"This battle is a great victory!"

"My general's intention is that each of the three armies of the front, middle and Nanyang armies will attack the city for one day. They will attack continuously day and night without giving the Korean army any chance to breathe."

"With this victory, we will attack Xinzheng City!"

Yang Hu advised in a low voice: "General, if this is the case, the Korean army will be exhausted, and our army will be exhausted as well."

"Once reinforcements from other countries arrive, our army may be demoralized and unable to fight."

Yang Hu's advice is very reasonable.

Siege warfare is often carried out on a monthly basis.

The siege party, as the active attacker, faces more sacrifices and the situation of exhausting troops for expedition, so the morale of the army is very important.

Ying Chengyu's style of play is not conventional.

Ying Chengyu smiled: "I have no intention of fighting for a long time."

"If reinforcements from other countries arrive, we will withdraw immediately."

"Until reinforcements from other countries arrive, the Korean court will be plagued by fear all day long!"

Tengfu understood Ying Chengyu's intention.

Ying Chengyu's aggressive attack was not for the Korean defenders to see, but for the Korean court!

Ying Chengyu is not only engaged in siege warfare, but also psychological warfare!

Tengfu didn't know if Ying Chengyu's plan would work.

But since Ying Chengyu was not messing around, Tengfu handed over his hand without saying a word: "Wei!"

Tengfu, who was a surrendered general, all agreed, and the generals of the Qin army, even for the sake of face, accepted the promise one after another:

"As you command!"

…

at the same time.

Han Qi, who was wearing ragged clothes, disheveled hair and a gray face, was summoned to Xinzheng Palace before he could go home to take a bath and change clothes.

His own decadence made Han Qi feel that every pair of eyes looking at him were full of ridicule and ridicule.

For Han Qi, who has always prided himself on being the pillar of Korea and the left prime minister of both dynasties, this was more uncomfortable than killing him directly!

"Han Qi!" On the high platform, Han Wangan shouted coldly: "Is this what you mean by honoring one's orders?"

"I trust you more than I do, so I will hand over the 50,000 elites in the city to you."

"We had a good army of 50,000 when we went on the expedition, but after just one battle, only 20,000 remnants were left and fled back to the city, not daring to fight!"

"But your opponent is just a soldier led by a traitor from Korea!"

"Han Qi, is this how you repay me!"

This is what Han Wangan is least willing to accept.

A group of soldiers who originally belonged to Korea were led by a minister who originally belonged to Korea.

Just because the king of allegiance was changed, the Korean army exploded with combat power that it was impossible to resist.

The army he supported was much braver when fighting for other kings than when fighting for him.

what does that mean?

It means that there is something wrong with him, the King of Han!

The king cannot make mistakes, the only one who is wrong is Han Qi!

Han Qi knelt on the ground, cupped his hands and shouted: "My lord, I am guilty! I am unworthy of the expectations of the king!"

"Tengfu is a traitor, and all his subordinates have surrendered!"

"Precisely because they first surrendered to Qin, they were eager to perform meritorious service for fear of being abandoned by Qin."

"I never expected that the morale of this army would be so high, so we were defeated in the first battle."

"After a battle, I have completely figured out the reality of this army. I will definitely win the next battle!"

Han Qi was unwilling to give up the military power he had obtained.

But a big defeat had exhausted Han Wangan's patience with him.

Han Wangan waved his hand irritably: "Xiang Han just suffered a huge defeat and was almost trapped outside the city. He must be exhausted physically and mentally and needs some training."

"The right prime minister Zhang Rang is responsible for this battle." Han Wangan looked at Zhang Rang solemnly: "Don't let me down!"

Zhang Rang suddenly handed over his hands: "Wei!"

Han Qi wanted to say something.

But he had just returned from defeat and had no right to speak.

After thinking for a moment, Han Qi winked at his officials, but all the officials under Han Qi's line remained silent.

The court has completely become the Zhang family's one-spoken hall!

Unless Han Wangan personally raised objections to a certain point, all the officials above the court agreed to all Zhang Rang's proposals without even asking a question.

Han Qi is waiting.

Waiting for Han Wangan to notice the serious imbalance in the court and realize that Zhang Rang's strength has become too great, Han Qi needs Han Wangan's support to return to a state of checks and balances with Zhang Rang.

But what disappointed Han Qi was that Han Wangan never gave Han Qi any support from beginning to end, and just watched helplessly as Zhang Rang took control of the court.

Half an hour later, the temporary court meeting ended.

As the left and right prime ministers, Zhang Rang and Han Qi were the first to walk out of the Han Palace.

Along the way, Han Qi didn't want to bear Zhang Rang's cynicism and deliberately turned his eyes to one side.

However, Zhang Rang didn't say a word until he walked out of the palace. After leaving the palace, he got on his horse and headed towards the city wall without even looking at Han Qi.

This indifference made Han Qi even more angry than the cynicism!

"Go back to the mansion!" With a wave of his command, Han Qi got on the carriage and led the courtiers to his mansion.

As soon as they entered the main hall, the subjects couldn't bear it and spoke one after another:

"If you had listened to our advice and formed an alliance with Qin, why would you have done this!"

"The money and food in the court were originally managed by the Zhang family. Now that the military power is controlled by the Zhang family, the Zhang family may no longer be able to contain it!"

"The Zhang family is so powerful, where does the royal power rest? It is Korea's misfortune that powerful ministers are in power!"

"Prime Minister Han, I thought we must regain military power as soon as possible!"

"It's easy to say, how to take it away?"

Faced with this problem, the subjects fell silent.

How to take it?

How can they persuade Han Wangan to hand over the military power to them again after they have already lost one battle?

Han Qi suddenly said:

"As long as the Zhang family is defeated, the king will naturally understand that it is not only our incompetence that Qin will be unable to resist!"

"At that time, military power will return to its true form!"
