Qin Shi: Beginning as the first emperor's younger brother

Chapter 247 The Battle of the Gentlemen
As the commander-in-chief of the three armies, how could Ying Yuan not know the mood of the generals under his command?

He did it on purpose, to let them out of the cage when they were truly hungry and thirsty, and then they would be like hungry tigers pouncing on their food, no matter what the cost, everything would be beneficial.

However, in Zhangtai Palace, Ying Zheng received many anonymous memorials, without exception, all of which were to impeach Ying Yuan for not being aggressive but only knowing how to stick to it.

"Even if I don't have to think about it, I know that these memorials are basically written by foreigners. After all, only those educated and well-educated people like them can write such gorgeous articles.

To expand a small problem infinitely, even to the point of survival of the family and the country, if the widow does not severely punish the champion, he can even be called a faint king by later generations. "

Ying Zheng flipped through a few memorials, discarded them aside, and stood in front of Gai Nie and Zhao Gao with his hands behind his back.

The war is imminent, and several inconsistent voices suddenly appear in the country. This is not a good sign, and King Qin is also a little depressed because of this.

The latter took a step forward and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Master Hou is clearly sure of victory, but he has been slow to advance. Instead, he has repeatedly urged us for food and grass. Isn't that a bit too much?"

Having said that, he hesitated to speak, leaving enough room for Ying Zheng to imagine.

In fact, Ying Yuan's need for food and grass is completely selfless.

In the future, when he hits the mainland of South Korea, the battle line will be extended. He must ensure that the supplies are sufficient, so as not to fall into a pit because of things like food and grass.

Even though he told the reason to the princes above the temple, they didn't care about this. In their cognition, it was a big mistake to only know how to stick to it but not to make progress.

"My subordinates think that Master Hou's doing this is to better prepare for the overall war. The subordinates firmly believe that Lord Hou will make big moves next."

Ge Nie bowed and said.

He has a good relationship with Ying Yuan, so naturally he wants to speak for him.

Ying Zheng didn't say anything, but nodded slightly in response.

No one knows what is thinking in his heart at this moment.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that this battle attracted the attention of all the people. Ying Zheng chose to fully trust Ying Yuan.

If he had the slightest suspicion here, it would probably affect the battle plan on the front line.

At this moment, Ying Yuan had also issued an order to attack the enemy.

This is the first large-scale battle he has launched since he took command today.

According to the original plan, the Ministry of Wei and Zhuang began to flee in an all-round way.

In fact, for him, all of this was expected.

The Han army is retreating in an orderly manner.

The scale of the Qin army's mobilization was extremely large, and it was almost an all-out force. Wei Zhuang simply did not have the ability to resist it.

And it all happened very suddenly.

Early April.

Ying Yuan and Wei Zhuang had fought no less than ten times, and most of them ended in the victory of the Qin army.

In the end, when the entire line of defense collapsed, the Han army in Pingyang Pass chose to break through, joined the Weizhuang tribe, and officially announced their retreat. After several days, they arrived in the Qinshui area and re-arranged their defensive positions, ready to face the Qin army's charge at any time.

The Battle of Pingyang Pass is not clearly recorded in later generations. It seems that the Han army retreated in a daze.

The Qinshui area is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is the place where the three major mountain ranges gather. The rolling mountains are very easy to set up an ambush. Ying Yuan did not rush to attack Wei Zhuang, but sent envoys to join him in the two armies. The middle area of ​​the camp, see above.

The good name is to recount old feelings.

"General, this must be a trick of the Qin army. If you go, what should he do if he attacks you?"

A Korean general couldn't help telling Wei Zhuang who was in deep thought.

In fact, the latter also knew it in his heart, but the Qin envoy also said that Ying Yuan would only bring 1 followers, and he hoped he would do the same.

In this way, Wei Zhuang understood that Ying Yuan wanted to imitate the sages and fight an upright battle. There was no conspiracy or intrigue in this battle, but it was a battle of gentlemen in the true sense.

In fact, this kind of battle was relatively common in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Even after the battle between the enemy and us, they will give each other some food, grass and herbs for saving people in a symbolic sense.

Ying Yuan not only wanted to fight a battle of gentlemen, but more importantly, he wanted to use this battle to completely destroy the morale of the Han army.

Even the battle of gentlemen in fair competition has been defeated, how can the generals of the Han army not think too much?

Wei Zhuang naturally thought of this, but he had already made a decision in his heart, that is to go to the appointment.

If he wins this battle, the benefits will be endless.

The place that Ying Yuan had set, and the time that Wei Zhuang had made an appointment.

The former ordered people to build a boxy and simple gazebo in the fastest time in the middle area.

The word "Gentlemen's Pavilion" is written on it.

the end of April.

The two met in the pavilion.

Only the two of them did not carry any weapons.

When they looked at each other, the two laughed out loud, which made the soldiers behind them feel puzzled.

The two sat down.

There are food and wine in front of you.

This was prepared by Ying Yuan in advance.

Not poisoned.

Wei Zhuang is also not afraid, he believes in Ying Yuan's character.

"It should be the first time in history that the coaches of the enemy and us meet."

Ying Yuan poured wine for him with a smile.

Wei Zhuang bowed lightly in return, and asked: "I am here today not only to go to the battle of gentlemen, but also to ask the champion in person."

Ying Yuan said: "It's okay to talk if you have something to say, we still have enough time to chat."

Wei Zhuang frowned slightly, and said, "How did Han Fei die?"

This question was within his expectations.

It had to be said that Han Fei's charisma was second only to Ying Zheng among the people he met.

It is a skill in itself to make Guigu disciples willingly work for him. Otherwise, Wei Zhuang would not continue to serve as the general of South Korea. This is not what he wants to do.

Ying Yuan didn't deliberately deceive him, and said bluntly without thinking: "He died of the Six Souls Curse, what the Yin Yang family did, but the person who really killed him was the general trend of heaven and earth."

Wei Zhuang's expression changed slightly, and he became silent.

Ying Yuan drank on his own.

After a while, the other party said calmly: "Actually, the moment he rushed to Xianyang City, I already knew what was waiting for him.

You Qin finally stopped hiding, and began to show your fangs, ready to engulf the world. "

"Qin has never hidden anything."

After a pause, Ying Yuan said, "Do you think South Korea will win?"

Hearing the sound, Wei Zhuang shook his head, "It's difficult, but I will try. This battle is not for me, let alone for South Korea, but for Han Fei."

"When I went to Xinzheng for the first time, I fought with you, and I still remember it vividly. When I left, you and Han Fei seemed to have discussed me. Time has passed, and the past can only be used as a memory. The old man is gone. Passing away, the years are so long, it is really embarrassing."

Ying Yuan sighed.

This sigh was also for Han Fei.

If possible, he really didn't want Han Fei to die, just because he lived in this world and would be of great help to future generations.

But the other party would rather die than join Qin, Ying Yuan could only choose him to die from the bottom of his heart.

"Actually, at that time, I wanted to kill you, but Han Fei didn't want to."

Wei Zhuang didn't give a reason why he didn't want to, because that's not important anymore.

The two talked a lot about the past and involved many people, but from the beginning to the end, they didn't discuss how this war of gentlemen would end up.

The sun was about to sink into the hills, and the sky was scarlet, as if it had been stained with blood.

Ying Yuan looked up at the time, stretched, chuckled, and said, "It's getting late."

Wei Zhuang nodded, "It's really late."

The two looked at each other.

Then leave the gazebo.

They didn't turn their heads to look at each other.

The soldiers in front of him, as if they had received some order, rushed towards the opponent with all their strength.

In an instant, the soldiers of the two sides fought together fiercely, and the shouts and shouts of killing shook the heavens and the earth. After a while, the blood stained the world red.

The situation of people turning their backs on their backs happens from time to time.

Even so, Ying Yuan and Wei Zhuang remained calm as usual, they didn't even turn around to take a look, they just walked straight forward.

As for the war situation behind them, how deteriorating and cruel it was seems to have nothing to do with the two of them.

It seems to say that they bid farewell to the past and parted ways. From this moment on, they will be endless enemies.
