Daqin Engineers

Shen Bing thought for a while, then replied:

"Everything is under control."

Yang Duanhe was taken aback, then nodded in praise:

"That should be the answer."

Although this is just an ordinary sentence, it has different meanings to understand different directions.

Because no one knows whether Mie Chu is "all in control" or the enemy is "all in control".

Or maybe it was just a false sentence to prevent Ying Zheng from getting angry and convicting...

So even if this word falls into the hands of the enemy, it doesn't matter, and at the same time, telling the truth to Yingzheng avoids the "crime of deceiving the emperor."

Ying Zheng was already thunderous at this time.

Of course, his anger was not directed at Yang Duanhe and Shen Bing, but at Changping Jun.

"Mr Changping dare to betray me."

"Not only betrayed me, but also burned Chen Cheng with him. It is tolerable or unbearable."

"If you let the widow catch it, you will definitely cut it out!"

But Ying Zheng knew in his heart that all of this was actually caused by him.

Because he sent Mr. Changping to Chencheng to appease Chumin, he originally wanted to force him back.

It's just that Ying Zheng didn't expect that Lord Changping had such a great ability to confuse the people of Chu and inflict heavy damage on Chen Cheng in such a short time.

Therefore, the loss of Chen Cheng's grain and grass directly affected Yang Duan and the war ahead.

But of course, Ying Zheng will not admit this mistake.

Ying Zheng thought to himself, this time the training is unfavorable, and it won't take much time to wait for a whole month of waiting for a good harvest.

It's just that Yang Duanhe's report has not been seen and I am secretly surprised.

In the past, whether it is good or bad, the marching coach should report to him on the battle situation in good time, why this time...

Ying Zheng also replied that this was Yang Duanhe who was worried about his ruling, so he sent a letter in a more gentle tone.

This letter is both a soothing and an inquiry.

To appease means to tell Yang Duanhe that he will not be blamed for this failure.

The inquiry is to know the situation of the battle.

When receiving Yang Duanhe's reply "Everything is under control", Ying Zheng couldn't help but frowned.

This is almost the same as if it was not said, but the subtext seems to be developing in a favorable direction.

Is this still a favorable direction?

Yingzheng thought about it and couldn't understand it, so he could only give up.

At this time, Zhao Gao came in and said, "Great King, Wang Jian, please see you."

Ying Zheng hurriedly responded:

"Please."

When Wang Jian was able to get in, he bowed to Yingzheng:

"Majesty, his subordinates are aging and declining. Although they want to continue to serve the king, they have more than enough energy but lack strength."

"This time I am here to resign from the post of general in order to tell the old man to return to his hometown and live his life. I hope the great king will be enlightened."

Ying Zheng was shocked:

"Why did the general say this?"

Wang Jian sighed and said:

"Majesty, Lian Po also has old age, let alone his subordinates..."

Ying Zheng waved his hand and said:

"The general is overly modest. Although you are a little old but you are in the army, you are still walking like flying, how can you be called old?"

"It's never too late to say it in a few years."

Wang Jian was a little surprised. He thought that the Yingzheng Association had simply approved his request for returning home. He didn't want to...

In the next second, Wang Jian would understand, maybe something went wrong in attacking Chu.

It's no wonder that Wang Jian didn't know that Yingzheng feared that the news of Emperor Changping's rebellion against Qin would cause the nobles of Zhao and Wei to follow suit, so he vigorously blocked the news.

Of course, this can't be blocked for a long time, but it can be blocked for a while.

Wang Jian didn't hear about it because he didn't participate in military affairs during this period.

Ying Zheng didn't say much, just waved his hand and said:

"The general should go back to recuperate. Don't tell the old man about returning home."

What else could Wang Jian say, he had to answer and then retreated.

In fact, Wang Jian's thoughts about Yingzheng were indeed guessed by Wang Jian.

Ying Zheng was thinking, if the combination of Yang Duanhe and Shen Bing couldn't take over Chu Kingdom, it would only be necessary to use Wang Jian, so at this time, where would he be willing to let Wang Jian go.

If you want to leave, you have to wait after you capture Chu Kingdom.

As for the rest of the Kingdom of Yan, the Kingdom of Dai, and the Kingdom of Qi... If other Qin generals can't take them down, then the Kingdom of Qin will be considered a vain name.

Therefore, it is really not a good time for Wang Jian to resign this time. If Yingzheng would have responded a few days earlier when the battle was going well.

The Qin army on the side of Bucheng has already begun to do it.

This was after the Chu army arrived in the city and built the walled city.

Shen Bing and Yang Duanhe had a discussion about this.

Yang Duanhe was a little impatient:

"The old man thinks that I should wait for the Chu army to counterattack when the Chu army is not firmly established."

"Otherwise, once we wait for it to build a walled city or even block the river, we will be controlled by others."

Yang Duanhe has some truths, especially the river course, if it is blocked, it will cause a lot of trouble.

But Shen Bing did not think so.

"At this time, the Chu army is extremely vigilant. If our army makes a first attack, the Chu army may find that the situation is not right."

"When the time comes, I will not be able to give it a head blow and it will even ruin my plan."

"The subordinates think that when most of their walls are built, the Chu army will breathe a sigh of relief and think about fighting for a long time."

Yang Duanhe felt reasonable, so he agreed to Shen Bing's plan and waited for a few days.

Xiang Yan also, as Shen Bing thought, was a little frightened during this period, afraid that Qin Jun would suddenly counterattack.

Although the facts told him that Qin Jun’s grain and grass were burnt only to defend, Xiang Yan still felt that something was wrong, but did not understand what went wrong.

This may be his instinct that has been battle-tested, that Qin Jun shouldn't be defeated so easily.

It wasn't until the walled city stood up in front of the defense line and the river was blocked again that Xiang Yan breathed a sigh of relief and said that it was her own illusion.

Of course, only the Bucheng section of the river was blocked.

The Chu army had more than 300,000 people in Bucheng, and their supplies had to be continuously transported along the river to Bucheng. Naturally, they couldn't block the rear river and cut off their supply lines.

That evening, Xiang Yan finished patrolling the camp as usual. When she returned to the tent, she was exhausted physically and mentally, and lay down on the bed before he could take off his armor.

During this period, Xiang Yan didn't think much about the war, and sometimes even led soldiers to battle.

In a state of mental tension and excitement, he didn't feel tired. At this time, the battle was stabilized and relaxed slightly, and bursts of tiredness and sleepiness flowed like a tide.

This caused Xiang Yan to fall asleep as soon as she lay in bed, and even snored.

However, before a stick of incense, Xiang Yan was awakened by the sound of drums. He sat up from the bed and asked loudly:

"Where is the drum sound?"

Soon I saw Uncle Xiang rushing in and reported:

"Admiral, the Qin army is here to attack."

Xiang Yan stood up quickly and ordered:

"Don't panic, the Qin army is just obstructing us waiting for the construction of fortifications, and prepare to meet the enemy!"

No wonder Xiang Yan thought so.

Because it is obvious that if the Qin Army really has the strength to counterattack, it should attack when the Chu Army Walled City is not repaired instead of waiting until now.

But what Xiang Yan didn't expect was that what he faced was precisely the Qin Jun's full counterattack.
