Chapter 62: From now on, Nanyang County is Qin soil!
October 10 of the ninth year of the reign of King Qin.
The Qin army did not adopt the standard siege formation of three ques, but besieged Wancheng with military formations and camp tents.
Although Ying Chengcheng promised not to attack the city within three days, he did not delay the Qin army's preparations.
The baggage camp has begun to fill in earth and rock, disconnecting the Wancheng moat from the White River, and releasing water from the moat.
Later, the sergeants rolled up their sleeves and worked hard, preparing to build an earthen wall outside Wancheng to cut off the baggage passage of Wancheng.
Everything made Wancheng extremely depressed.
But what is more depressing than Wancheng is the Qin army.
"General, the officials sent by the imperial court have begun to complain to the imperial court." Yang Hu's face was full of anxiety: "Doesn't our army really hand over Xicheng to the imperial court for management first?" β
Ying Chengcheng didn't answer and asked: "The imperial court didn't send a second batch of officials?" β
Ying Chengcheng 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 people from LΓΌ Buwei's family or Chang Yu's family.
How could Ying Cheng Chan accept it?
Yang Hu shook his head: "No!" β
Ying Chengcheng replied decisively: "Naxi City continues to be sealed and officials sent by the imperial court are forbidden to enter. β
"Back to the imperial court, our army is fighting in the territory of the enemy, and Xicheng is still in the midst of war."
"As the commander of the Eastern Army, he will have the obligation to leave (acting) order Xicheng, which is the law of military merit."
"If the princes of the court are unwilling, please cultivate the Qin law first!"
Yang Hu became more and more worried: "General, your move is indeed in line with the law of military merit. β
"But will this anger the court?"
Of course, Ying Chengcheng knew that this move would make many ministers in the court dissatisfied, after all, Ying Zheng refused the arrangement of the imperial court.
But the imperial court has long stopped distributing grain and grass to Ying Cheng.
Xicheng fully assumes the role of the granary of Yingcheng's department, and the responsibility of transporting grain and grass is also borne by the young men of Xicheng.
What's more, Xicheng was stuck on the way back to Qin by Yingcheng's subordinates.
In case Ying Cheng Chan fails to attack South Korea, is pushed back by the Korean army, and Xicheng closes the city gate tightly, there is only a dead end waiting for Ying Cheng Chan!
And Ying Chengcheng is still counting on relying on Xicheng to resist Chang Yu's attack.
If it weren't for Ying Zheng's peace of mind, and at the same time, he also wanted Ying Zheng to feel Ying Chengcheng's trust in him, Ying Chengcheng would not let the officials of Ying Zheng's family take over Xicheng, how could he hand over this city to the enemy!
As for Chang Yu and the officials under Lu Buwei, they will be furious because of this?
It's a life-and-death struggle, not a dinner party!
What's it to be angry?
Ying Chengcheng asked rhetorically: "Ben will break the law?" β
Yang Hu was a little helpless: "Naturally not." β
Ying Cheng smiled and asked, "Then what are you worried about?" β
Yang Hu was a little speechless.
Ying Chengcheng's move is indeed not illegal, but what is not illegal may not necessarily be done!
Zhao Ji is not illegal to delay Ying Zheng's crowning, do you think Ying Zhengsheng is not angry?
But these words were obviously not what he should have said, so he changed the subject: "South Korea has asked for help from Zhao, Wei, and Chu. β
"The king of Chu is guarding filial piety and is reluctant to send troops."
"But Zhao General Pang Xuan personally went to Handan to persuade King Zhao to send troops to help, with Pang Xuan's ability to unite the five countries, Zhao State is likely to send troops!"
"There are also quite a few voices of war in the court of the Wei State."
Yang Hu frowned and explained carefully: "Four years ago, my Great Qin seized twenty cities such as Wei State's sour dates and set them as Dongjun. β
"Three years ago, I won the Song of the Wei State in the Great Qin, and two years ago, I took the land of the Wei State in the Great Qin."
"Many generals of Wei intend to take this opportunity to take revenge and regain the lost territory."
"General, the situation is very unfavorable for our army."
"If our army can't quickly capture Wancheng, it is likely to face the Three Kingdoms Alliance in the end!"
Calculating, Yang Hu was a little itchy.
In just four years, Great Qin seized the territory of one and a half counties of Wei State, and this feud is big!
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 a hot pot.
Because Chang Yu is also likely to send envoys to lobby Wei and Zhao Erguo, inviting them to take the initiative to send troops, and then stab Ying Cheng into a knife from behind!
Ying Chengcheng was very relaxed about this: "If the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao and Wei really send troops, then our army will retreat to Xicheng." β
"In any case, our army has captured a city in this expedition, and the first achievement is more than 6,000."
"It is difficult for Adjutant General Yang and the generals to be promoted, but the existing fake (acting) position can definitely be turned into a regular one."
Yang Hu suddenly brightened.
That's right.
There is an essential difference between this expedition and an ordinary expedition, and if you don't lose, you already make money.
Knowing that Ying Chengcheng has never fought, when did he start to have extravagant expectations for the results of this battle?
I even fantasize about capturing the important city of Wancheng!
It's ridiculous......
Suddenly, Yang Hu sat up straight, held the hilt of the sword with his right hand, and shouted in a deep voice: "The west gate of Wancheng is open!" β
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 in their eyes, there were only three men wearing Korean official robes.
Each man held a wooden plate in both hands, on which were several small objects.
When he was about to walk out of the city gate, the leading man fell to his knees and shouted:
"Nanyang County is pretending to be guarded, Teng, and I am willing to lead Nanyang County to surrender to Qin!"
At the same time, the South Korean military flag, which had been floating on the city wall, also tilted, fell, and disappeared from everyone's eyes.
From the city wall, there was a weak cry from the Han soldiers:
"I'm waiting for my wish to surrender!"
Yang Hu: !!
Surrendered?
Our army really took Wancheng?!
Isn't that a joke?
Ying Cheng laughed heartily and shouted loudly: "Deputy General Yang Hu is in charge of the Chinese army." β
"Captain Feng Ting led the front army to prepare to take over the city, and Captain Zhou Yan led the Chinese army to guard around."
"The soldiers will come forward with the general!"
Before the words fell, Ying Chengcheng had already clamped the horse's belly and led the soldiers to gallop out.
At this point, Yang Hu finally came back to his senses and shouted excitedly: "Only! β
Ten steps in front of Tengfu, Ying Cheng pulled the reins, turned over and dismounted.
But Ying Chengcheng didn't help Tengfu, but just shouted:
"The commander of the Eastern Army of Great Qin, the son of Chengcheng, will 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 Nanyang County, and General Wanwang will accept it!"
Ying Cheng stepped forward in all directions, stood still in front of Tengfu, bowed slightly, took the wooden plate in Tengfu's hand with both hands, and said in a deep voice:
"Seals, letters, and orders have been received."
"Since then."
"Nanyang County is Qin soil!"
The pro-soldiers roared excitedly:
"Great Qin Wansheng!"
The Qin troops in the distance, who were still besieging the city gate, didn't know what was going on, but since everyone else was shouting, they also joined in the fun:
"Great Qin Wansheng!"
In the deafening cheers, Ying Chengcheng smiled and helped Tengfu with both hands: "Brother Teng! It's so hard for you to wait! β
Tengfu barely squeezed out a smile: "I hope that Chang'anjun will take care of it more in the future, and don't let Nanyang Qianshou suffer." β
Ying Cheng nodded solemnly: "It must be so!" β
Teng Fu breathed a sigh of relief and took the initiative to speak: "Teng has not served as Nanyang's temporary guard for a long time, but he has been the Nanyang County Governor for more than three years, and he has a little thin face in front of the city and county orders. β
"If Chang'an Junxin is too much, please don't use the sword soldiers first, and I am willing to go to the cities to persuade you to surrender!"
Ying Chengcheng was slightly surprised: "If you can win without a fight, this gentleman will naturally be happy." β
"It's just that Brother Teng is a little sure?"
Tengfu smiled confidently: "Eighty." β
Being able to say this means that Tengfu's inner grasp may be 100%!
A bold idea couldn't help but emerge in Ying Chengcheng's mind.
