Chapter 690 Why Does Li Mu Deserve to Be Treated Like This! What Is the Use of Morality? Victory Is What I Want!

After the dirty exchange of interests, Ying Chengyu turned to Ying Zheng and solemnly handed over his hands: "My lord, Master Chenggan of Chang'an, please fight for this!"

Wang Jian also changed his lazy look, faced Ying Zheng and shouted: "My lord, General Jian, please fight the deputy general for this!"

Ying Zheng looked at Ying Chengxuan seriously: "How sure is Brother Wang that he will be able to escape intact?"

Even though it was now a formal occasion of court meeting, Ying Zheng still changed his title to Ying Chengyu to ‘Brother Wang’.

Ying Zheng didn't even care about whether Ying Chengyu could win, but only cared about whether Ying Chengyu could survive intact!

Ying Chengyu felt warm in his heart and said seriously: "Your Majesty, don't worry."

"Even if I lose this battle, I will definitely be able to return to the army safely!"

With Wang Jian accompanying him in this battle, he has a great chance of winning.

Even if he is defeated, Ying Chengyu can still fight his way back to Xianyang City with the support of a thousand personal soldiers including Bafu and Guafu!

Ying Zheng took a deep look at Ying Chengyu and saw that there was no reluctance or anxiety in Ying Chengyu's eyes. He just nodded and said: "Since the two beloved ladies have asked for a fight, I will accept it!"

"How many troops do you two dear friends think our Great Qin will need in this battle?"

Ying Chengyu and Wang Jian did not discuss it but spoke at the same time without hesitation: "Six hundred thousand!"

Wang Jian added: "If Zhao Guo recruits 500,000 troops, he will eventually need 600,000 troops."

"If the State of Zhao recruits more troops, the general will need more troops and horses."

Ying Chengxuan then added: "In addition, the final general also needs the help of General Duanhe, General Mengwu, General Li Xin and other generals."

"In this way, we can win!"

Wang Jian continued: "But with these 500,000 soldiers and horses alone, our department should be able to survive the initial confrontation."

"The remaining troops and horses can be left to be replenished after spring plowing."

After saying this, Ying Chengyu and Wang Jian looked at each other, and they could see a deep smile in each other's eyes.

Although Wang Jian really didn't dare to be promoted again.

But even Wang Jian had to admit that it was really fun to go on an expedition with Ying Chengyu!

However, Han Cang almost burst into tears: "Six hundred thousand! Six hundred thousand young and strong!"

"How many acres of land can they cultivate and how much food and grass can they grow?"

Other courtiers also thought that Ying Chengyu and Wang Jian were a little too stable.

Ying Chengyu and Wang Jian are already the two most skilled generals in the Qin Dynasty today.

Now the two of them not only have to go on the expedition at the same time, but also have Yang Duanhe, Meng Wu, Li Xin and others go out together.

In addition, he asked for 600,000 troops and horses!

How does this posture seem to be aimed at forcing Zhao Guo to call off his troops and call a truce?

I'm afraid he's not going to destroy the country!

Li Mu was indeed a great general when he was able to kill Huan Jue, but was he worthy of being treated with such caution by Great Qin?

However, before the ministers could come to remonstrate, Ying Zheng had already decisively said: "Yes!"

"Everyone agrees!"

"If the two beloved ministers have any other needs, the court will certainly not hesitate to help!"

Ying Zheng didn't understand why Ying Chengyu was still so wary of Zhao Kingdom Li Mu even though he had destroyed three kingdoms in a row.

But since Ying Chengyu still decided to go out in person despite being so vigilant, the only thing Ying Zheng can do is to support him with all his strength!

Ying Chengyu and Wang Jian were overjoyed and handed over their hands: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Ying Zheng waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Get the map of Kun."

"Let's discuss how to fight this battle!"

Wei Liao's expression changed slightly, obviously thinking of the bad memories of all the previous pre-war military discussions going to waste.

But Ying Chengyu stepped forward as usual and looked at the map of Kun held up by Wang Bo, Meng Yi and other ministers.

"In this battle, Lord Zhao Wu'an can attack our Great Qin from many directions."

"But the general believes that before watching this battle, we must first observe the situation in Zhao."

Twisting a wooden stick, Ying Chengxiao pointed at Wu'an City: "Zhao Wu'an Jun was granted the title of Wu'an City, and Wu'an City was used as his fief."

"But this does not mean that Lord Zhao Wu'an is based in Wu'an City."

"The true foundation of Zhao Wu'an is here!"

Ying Chengyu pointed the wooden stick in his hand towards the north of Handan City: "Daijun!"

"In the early years, Zhao Wuanjun led troops here to fight against the Xiongnu all the year round, so he occupied and operated Daijun for decades."

"Most of the officials in the county today have old ties to Lord Zhao Wu'an, and most of Lord Zhao Wu'an's old subordinates are placed here."

"So I think that Prime Minister Zhao Guo Kai will not allow Lord Zhao Wu'an to go north to Daijun!"

"At the same time, Prime Minister Zhao Guo Kai will not allow Lord Zhao Wu'an to lead his troops through Handan City."

"Therefore, there are only two directions in which Lord Zhao Wu'an can attack our Great Qin."

"Go west to Taihang, or go south to the Zhangshui Great Wall!"

Li Mu's abilities are similar to Wang Jian's, but Li Mu's personality is completely different from Wang Jian's.

Li Mu dared to call the queen a prostitute as a minister, dared to scold the king mercilessly, and even dared to bargain with the king for food, wages, and supplies. He even dared to install a crony in Daijun and become the local emperor of Daijun.

More importantly, Li Mu's great-great-grandfather Li Duizhen rebelled and succeeded!

Even if Guo Kai had eight courages, there was no way Guo Kai would dare to let Li Mu lead his troops through Handan City or return to his home base.

Otherwise, Li Mu might really attack Handan City and support the new king to ascend the throne!

After listening to Ying Chengxuan's long speech, Wei Liao finally stepped forward: "I believe that what Lord Chang'an said is true."

"The main force of our army in this battle should go deep into Taihang."

"If Lord Wu'an of Zhao only sends a partial force to Taihang, our army will attack Taihang and march directly into Handan to force Zhao to sue for peace."

"If Lord Zhao Wu'an sends his main force to Taihang, then we will confront him head-on!"

"Send another detachment to the south of the Zhangshui Great Wall, and attack from the north of the Zhangshui Great Wall to put pressure on Zhao Wuanjun."

"Send another two troops to the north of Dai County to disrupt Zhao Wuanjun's rear, and then go east to Neihuang, and then turn to Handan from Neihuang!"

"Once the four-way encirclement is formed, Zhao Wuanjun will find it difficult to control the overall situation and will make mistakes in a hurry."

"If Yan and Qi are willing to send troops to help Qin, it can form a six-way encirclement!"

"Once any of the six troops breaks through the Zhao army's blockade and threatens Handan City, Zhao Xiang Guo Kai is very likely to stop the war and make peace."

After a pause, Wei Liao smiled and said, "Zhao Xiang Guo Kai is not as courageous as Zhao Daoxiang Wang (Zhao Wang Yan)!"

Ying Chengjiao shook his head and said, "The national commander's six-way encirclement strategy is very good."

"But I think that the Zhangshui Great Wall is difficult to attack, but it is Dai County is easy to take."

"We, the Great Qin, can send troops to attack the Zhangshui Great Wall and cut off the route of Wu'an Jun from the Zhangshui Great Wall."

"And the detachment will be sent to Dai County!"

Ying Chengjiao pointed the wooden stick in his hand at Dai County: "It is difficult for Zhao Wu'an Jun to return to support Dai County, but Dai County is the foundation of Zhao Wu'an Jun's business for a long time."

"If our army disturbs Dai County with heavy troops, or even seizes Dai County, it is more likely to cause Zhao Wu'an Jun to be unable to take care of both ends."

Wei Liao frowned and said: "Dai County is the place where Zhao's troops are the strongest."

"If it is just harassment and containment, it is not difficult."

"But if it is a strong attack or even a city capture, the difficulty will increase sharply!"

"And seizing Dai County has no direct significance for threatening Handan. It is not worth spending a lot of troops to seize Dai County!"

Ying Chengjiao and Wei Liao argued endlessly about the attack direction of the detachment.

Ying Zheng's eyes turned to Wang Jian: "Why did General Jian say nothing?"

Wang Jian came back to his senses and said with his hands folded: "Your Majesty, it was Chang'an Jun's words that gave me inspiration."

"I thought about Chang'an Jun's words and found that it was not only our Great Qin that could do such a thing that involved Zhao Wu'an Jun's energy, but also Zhao Xiang Guo Kai would definitely be willing to do it!"

"That's why I think."

Wang Jian smiled innocently and said: "Can you bribe Zhao Xiang Guo Kai with a large sum of money, and then ask your Majesty to write to Zhao Wu'an Jun, and persuade him to surrender with high positions and generous salaries."

"Then, it happened that your Majesty's letter seeking talents was discovered by Zhao Xiang Guo Kai!"

Wei Liao, Wei Zhuang and others were stunned, and then their eyes suddenly lit up.

"This strategy is quite vicious, and I really like it!"

"Zhao Xiang Guo Kai is worried about how to deal with Zhao Wuan Jun. If we can get such help from our Great Qin, Zhao Xiang Guo Kai will definitely follow the strategy!"

"This strategy can be implemented after Zhao Wuan Jun goes to war. In this way, Zhao may change its generals on the battlefield and deal another heavy blow to the Zhao army!"

Wang Jian's strategy is very immoral.

But I have to say, it is very useful!

As soon as this strategy was proposed, it was recognized by all the court officials!

Only Ying Chengjiao looked at Wang Jian speechlessly.

This is obviously the plan you came up with yourself!

Why do you put all the blame on me!

Wang Jian looked at Ying Chengjiao with a smile and asked: "Why does Changan Jun look at me like this?"

"Is this strategy inappropriate?"

In Wang Jian's view, others can say that his strategy is too immoral.

But Ying Chengjiao is absolutely not qualified to dislike Wang Jian's strategy on the moral level!

Ying Chengjiao shook his head: "I think the general's plan is very good!"

"I just think that Zhao Wu'an Jun is the most capable and skilled general in the current Zhao State."

"And King Zhao Daoxiang promoted Zhao Wu'an Jun vigorously and trusted him when he was dying."

"At the same time, Zhao Wu'an Jun is also a general leading troops outside."

"Just suspecting that he has a secret relationship with the enemy country is probably not enough to help the prime minister of Zhao eliminate Zhao Wu'an Jun."

"I advise you to recruit knights, send envoys, bribe Zhao's ministers, and kidnap Prince Jia!"

"And send Prince Jia to Dai County with courtesy!"

After listening to Ying Chengjiao's advice, Wei Liao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he cried out in a low voice: "If so, then Zhao Wu'an Jun has nothing to say!"

The process of kidnapping Prince Jia was very rough.

But it doesn't matter.

The point is that Prince Zhao Jia, who was once the first heir to the throne of Zhao, was sent to the lair of the current number one military man!

The great-grandfather of this number one military figure just happened to have a dark history of mutiny!

Would King Qian of Zhao believe that Li Mu could remain indifferent to the living Prince Jia?

Do the court officials dare to guarantee that Prince Jia was not kidnapped by Li Mu?

Once this strategy succeeds, Li Mu will either wait to be questioned and imprisoned, or he can only mutiny and seize power.

There is no other way to go!

The court officials looked at Ying Chengjiao with some color changes.

They thought Wang Jian's strategy was immoral enough, but they didn't expect that Ying Chengjiao had an even more immoral strategy!

After a moment of silence, Ying Zheng said solemnly: "I think this strategy is very good!"

"It should be implemented."

What's the use of morality?

Victory is what I want!

Yao Jia advised carefully: "But this strategy needs to be implemented in Handan City, and not only must we win over the ministers who are really willing to help Prince Jia, but we must also break out of Handan City and the heavy siege set up by Zhao Xiang Guo Kai."

"This strategy is extremely difficult to succeed!"

"Extremely difficult!"

Running to the capital of Zhao State to snatch people is as difficult as defeating Li Mu head-on!

In Yao Jia's view, the probability of failure of this strategy is as high as 99%, and the probability of success is less than 1%!

However, Ying Zheng said without hesitation: "Everything depends on human effort!"

“This strategy is beneficial to our Great Qin, so let’s give it a try!”
