Daqin Engineers

Chapter 118

After eating almost, Ying Zheng put down the dishes and asked:

"General Wang, how is the situation lately?"

Wang Jian and Yang Duanhe quickly put down the bowls and chopsticks and swallowed the food in their mouths.

"The King!" Wang Jian replied: "Weichen has surrounded Jicheng Tuantuan, and made trebuchets, stone bombs and other siege equipment. You can..."

Not wanting that Yingzheng is not interested in listening to this, he raised his hand and shook it, interrupting Wang Jian's words:

"The widow asked about the situation of the bandits."

Wang Jian and Yang Duan were taken aback for a moment. They were clearly fighting against the country of Yan. Why did they suddenly ask about the Liu Bandit?

This thinking can jump!

But of course the two did not dare to talk too much. You answered me one sentence:

"Weichen and General Yang are responsible for the two bandits."

"I have already forced him into the forest and dare not fight."

"But the bandits are very cunning. They always take advantage of me to wait for a sneak attack. They often run into the city to cause chaos."

"Fortunately, I am waiting to use my plan to catch them all..."

Ying Zheng knew all these things, so he was still not interested in listening. He frowned and asked:

"Those bandits flee the border between Zhao and Wei?"

Wang Jian couldn't help being stunned. He had never thought about this issue before, so he could only turn his attention to Yang Duanhe.

Yang Duanhe thought for a while, nodded and replied:

"When the king said so, the Weichen remembered it."

"Most of the bandits ran along the border between Zhao and Wei, only a few were distributed to the north..."

Ying Zheng asked again:

"Have you ever interrogated those gangsters?"

"Can you find out who they are?"

Yang Duanhe had nothing to say.

The gangsters, aren't they the remnants of Zhao Guo and some people who can't survive?

At that time, it was farming farms and food protection, but also caught the gangsters, how can there be time for interrogation?

And even the trial can't find any valuable information!

So a batch was chopped off on the spot, and all the others were taken to hard labor.

After thinking about it, Yang Duanhe could only answer:

"The king forgive me, and he has never tried it."

Chief Ying sighed and put on a look of hatred for iron and steel, and said earnestly:

"You didn't even think about it, maybe they were instigated by Wei Guo or even pretended by Wei people?"

Wang and Yang opened their mouths for a long time and couldn't close each other.

What's so special about this operation?

However, this seems reasonable. Wei Guo was worried that Qin would gain a foothold in the three counties and then attack Wei, so he did everything possible to prevent the three counties from transporting grain and even mixed into the city to cause chaos.

No wonder this bandit can have such a large scale, and is still organized to cooperate with each other.

It turned out that Wei Guo was secretly playing a ghost.

Thinking of these two people hurriedly kneeling:

"The king forgive the sins, but the officials have failed to find out Wei's treacherous tricks."

Ying Zheng raised his hand and motioned for the two to get up.

Of course he wouldn't blame Wang and Yang. In fact, he didn't even think of it.

After thinking about it, Ying Zheng ordered:

"Wang Jian listened to the order, you went to the head of Prince Pill on behalf of the widow."

"And put forward the conditions of reconciliation, so that Yan Guo will send 100,000 shi of grain in three days, and one fight must be made!"

"Otherwise, Yan will be uprooted."

Wang Jian answered, and at the same time he was secretly surprised:

The king didn't report his revenge for being stabbed?

This is not like the character of the king!

And why do we have to have food instead of money?

Although Qin's army is short of food, the large amount of rations grabbed from the hands of Yan is enough for the soldiers and civilians of the three counties to survive the winter.

After some more shipments from Xianyang next year, the three counties will have a harvest.

So, wouldn't it be more convenient and faster to ask for property from Yan Guo?

But when I thought about it, Wang Jian understood:

The king is going to attack Wei with the food of Yan Kingdom!

Wei Guo is in trouble today.

In fact, Wang Jian only guessed one but not the other.

Yingzheng further deepened Shen Bing's strategic thinking.

The reason why I want food from Yan country instead of money is because food is more important to Yan country at this time.

King Yan's character of greedy for life and fear of death will most likely agree to this condition.

There are also reasons why Yingzheng limited "three days" to make up 100,000 shi.

Yan Guo first lost a large amount of military rations, and now he has to hand over 100,000 shi in a short time...

That is not something that the national treasury or local storage of surplus grain can handle. There may be grain in the far border areas, but three days are not enough for transportation.

Therefore, Yan Wangxi could only search for the people's surplus food for the winter.

We must know that the country of Yan is located in the north, and the winter is extremely cold. If the people hand over the surplus food, they must starve to death in the winter.

So... it can intensify the contradiction between Yan Wangxi and the people, causing anger and resentment.

When Qin State wants to destroy Yan again, isn't it a matter of grasping it?

So this is actually killing two birds with one stone:

On the one hand, it can weaken the rule of the Yan king to make plans for the future extermination of the Yan, and on the other hand, it can supplement the Qin army's army to prepare for the attack on Wei.

After that, Ying Zheng raised his head and said, "Go on!"

Wang and Yang were about to retreat when they answered, but they were stopped by Ying Zheng soon:

"General Yang, the widow wants to ask you for someone!"

Yang Duanhe answered:

"Does the king want to sink the soldiers?"

"Weichen will bring him right away."

Yang Duan and Xin knew that Ying Zheng had been in contact with Shen Bing as a horse businessman during this period.

Although Yang Duanhe didn't give up Shen Bing, how dare he refuse to follow the big king.

Unexpectedly, Ying Zheng shook his head:

"No, although the engineer is an inexperienced genius, it is just to make the best use of it under General Yang.

"It would be a waste to be around the widow."

"What the widow wants is the husband, called..."

Speaking of Ying Zheng, he turned his attention to Zhao Gao beside him.

Zhao Gao quickly answered:

"Hey husband Chen Kui!"

Ying Zheng nodded:

"It's this guy, bring him!"

Yang Duanhe's tone of listening to Yingzheng seemed a bit unkind, and he couldn't help but secretly joy.

This Chen Kui was afraid that the dog saw that the others accidentally offended the king. Now he doesn't need to do it himself and Wang Jian can't blame himself.

When he responded, he immediately sent someone to call Chen Wei.

Where did Chen Kui know what was going on, and said that Yang Duanhe called himself because he had something to discuss, and he was immediately happy, and secretly said that this trip was finally in the eyes of the general.

So Pidianbidian followed the guards.

When I came to the tent, it was the horse merchant who had eaten food before.

When Chen Wei was in doubt, he heard Zhao Gao shout angrily:

"Dare! Don't you kneel when you see the king?"

Chen Wei was immediately so scared that the three souls disappeared from the seven souls, and she knelt on the ground and shivered. It took a while before she recovered, and immediately knocked her head like garlic:

"The king is pleased, the king is pleased!"

"The subordinates have eyes but don't know Mount Tai, I don't know if the king is here..."

Ying Zheng slowly stood up from the fire, and asked Chen Kui word by word:

"I heard that you are jealous of Shen Bingzhi for making things difficult for artillery, right?"

How dare Chen Kui deny it or be so scared that he doesn't know how to defend himself, only knowing that he repeats it over and over again:

"Subordinates are convicted, and the king forgive them..."

Ying Zheng shook his head and sighed:

"How do you know that Shen Bing is a ten thousandth."

"And jealousy can be narrow-minded, but above Shen Bing, what is the reason for this?"

"Widow is to forgive you for your disrespect, and it is hard to forgive your negligence!"

He raised his head towards Zhao Gao and said casually:

"Hit!"

Then turned around and left, as if dealing with a trivial matter.

Chen Wei behind him was pale and sat on the ground...
