Daqin Engineering Corps

No matter who Wang Jian was, he knew that Ying Zheng would not let Yan go easily.

The reason is simple: if Yingzheng intends to reconcile, why bother to order Wang Jian to personally command the siege of Jicheng?

Why bother to lead an army of [-] to Handan at night?

Although Handan is short of soldiers, it is also short of food.

Even if the [-] troops rushed to Handan and did nothing but survive the winter, the amount of food and grass they would consume would not be small!

This is also the reason why Xianyang did not dare to easily reinforce the three counties before: the food and grass are insufficient, and the more troops are added, the heavier the burden will be.

Therefore, there is only one explanation for the massive increase in troops today:

Ying Zheng is paralyzing the Yan army, making them hopeful and unprepared for peace.

after that……

Therefore, after Wang Jian rushed to the front line, he spared no effort to arrange for the Qin army to prepare for the siege.

As usual, the Hanoi soldiers under Yang Duanhe were the main offensive force.

This is because Wang Jian needs to "low-key", and the second is that Hanoi soldiers have more experience in trebuchet raids.

Wang Jian and Yang Duan thought that Ying Zheng must be in the tent to see Ying Zheng on such a cold day, but they didn't want Ying Zheng to be sitting by the fire, eating with chopsticks while turning over a wok, surrounded by thinly sliced ​​beef ,mutton……

Seeing Wang and Yang, Ying Zheng waved excitedly and shouted:

"The two generals came just in time, and the widow thinks that there is no one to share with them!"

Then he asked Zhao Gao to set up two folding stools by the fire, and said:

"The two generals are so unreasonable."

"There are folding stools everywhere in the army, but I didn't know until now!"

Yang Duanhe hurriedly replied:

"Forgive me, Your Majesty. This item was made by the artillerymen and engineers for the convenience of soldiers."

"Because it was difficult to enter the court of elegance, I did not report it."

"I'm going to order them to accept it..."

Ying Zheng shook his hands at Yang Duanhe while eating, "Mmmm", and it took a long time before Ying Zheng swallowed the food in his mouth and sighed:

"It's really delicious, why didn't you know how to eat it before?"

"It's a waste of life!"

Then he turned to Yang Duanhe and said:

"When did the widow say that he would ban this folding stool?"

"Even if this folding stool is difficult to enter the elegant hall...is this barracks an elegant place?"

Yang Duanhe hurriedly cupped his hands and bowed:

"What the king said is true."

How could Ying Zheng, who came from hard times, be so pedantic and care about the so-called etiquette.

What's more, Qin Jun is inclined to pragmatism, and those that prove to be practical will be promoted in batches.

Folding stools are useful, not just useful, but useful.

Especially in the wild, if there is no stool, what should I do if it rains or snows?Still sitting on the ground like before?

Therefore, the popularity of this folding stool is "like a surging river that cannot be stopped".

"Come here, give me a seat!" Ying Zheng nodded towards the folding stool next to him while he was busy eating.

Wang and Yang hesitated for a while.

How can they have a place in front of this king?

But they didn't dare to disobey Ying Zheng's order, so they looked at each other and thanked each other in unison, then sat down in fear.

A guard handed them a pair of chopsticks, and the two imitated Ying Zheng's gestures and put something in the water.

After boiling it, taste it with the meat sauce, and it really has a delicious taste.

Then the two couldn't help but started gobbling.

Ying Zheng smiled and said:

"How? Do you know what this way of eating is called?"

The two answered vaguely:

"I don't know."

Ying Zheng said triumphantly:

"This is called a fire wok!"

The two said "Oh":

"It is indeed an image, with fire and a wok!"

“Wonderful to be able to keep warm and eat fresh food!”

At this time, Ying Zheng poured another bowl of balled things into the wok and said:

"The way to eat the fire wok really needs a few people to gather together to feel it!"

"Let it down a little, and give the two generals a taste of this thing."

"It will surely feast the two generals!"

Wang and Yang couldn't help staring at the thing rolling in the water in a daze, what kind of thing was that?

But looking at the snow-white noodles, it looks a bit like the noodles I have tasted before, so the taste should not be bad.

Thinking about it will soon make my mouth water.

After a quarter of an hour, it was almost ready, Ying Zheng first picked one up by himself, and then motioned for the two to do it.

Wang and Yang have been staring at tigers for a long time, so they are not polite, they each clamp one and then bite hard...

"The best in the world!"

"tasty!"

However, Ying Zheng was not interested. Why is it that only those who don't know how to eat get burned?

What Ying Zheng didn't know was that Wang and Yang didn't get burned, but they didn't dare to show it in front of the king, so they swallowed the hot dumplings... …

It was like a ball of fire that went straight into the chest from top to bottom. I couldn't tell how uncomfortable it was. Tears rolled in my eyes uncontrollably. I didn't taste the taste at all but I wanted to call it "delicious".

Chapter 1: Killing Two Birds With One Stone

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

"General Wang, how is the situation recently?"

Wang Jian and Yang Duanhe hurriedly put down the bowls and chopsticks, and swallowed the food in their mouths with a gurgle.

"Report to Your Majesty!" Wang Jian replied, "My ministers have surrounded Jicheng, and have made catapults, stone bombs and other siege equipment, ready to..."

Not wanting that Ying Zheng was not interested in listening to this at all, 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 Duanhe were taken aback for a moment, this is obviously the country of Yan, why did they suddenly ask about the bandits?

This thinking can jump!

But of course the two of them didn't dare to talk too much, you replied one sentence at a time:

"Wei Chen and General Yang are in charge of the two bandits."

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

"But the bandits are very cunning. They always take advantage of our surprises and sneak attacks. And they often flee into the city to make trouble."

"Fortunately, I will catch them all with a plan..."

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

"Those rogue bandits fled across the border between Zhao and Wei?"

Wang Jian couldn't help being stunned. He hadn't thought about this problem before, so he could only turn his attention to Yang Duanhe.

Yang Duanhe thought for a while, then nodded and replied:

"After being said by the king, I remembered it."

"Most of the bandits fled across the border between Zhao and Wei, and only a few were scattered in the north..."

Ying Zheng asked again:

"Have you ever interrogated those bandits?"

"Have you found out who they are?"

This time Yang Duanhe has nothing to say.

The bandits, aren't they just the remnants of the Zhao state and some ordinary people who can't survive?

At that time, it was farming and food protection, and there were bandits to be caught. How could there be time for interrogation?

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

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

After thinking about it, Yang Duanhe could only answer:

"Your Majesty forgive me, I have never tried it."

Zhengzheng Ying sighed, put on a look of hating iron but not steel, and said earnestly:

"Haven't you ever thought that they might be instigated by Wei Guo, or even pretended by Wei people?"

Wang and Yang opened their mouths wide open for a long time but couldn't close them.

What's so special about this operation?

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

It's no wonder that the gangsters can have such a large scale, and they are still organized and able to cooperate with each other.

But it turned out that Wei Guo was playing tricks in the dark.

Thinking of these two people, they quickly knelt down:

"Your Majesty forgives the crime, I have a responsibility to entrust, and I failed to discover Wei Guo's treacherous plan."

Ying Zheng raised his hand to signal the two to get up.

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

After thinking about it, Ying Zheng ordered:

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

"And put forward the terms of reconciliation, so that the Yan Kingdom will send one hundred thousand shi of grain within three days, not less than a bucket!"

"Otherwise, the country of Yan will be uprooted."

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

The king didn't take revenge for being assassinated?

This is not like the king's character!

And why does it have to be food instead of property?

Although the Qin army was short of food, the large amount of military food seized from Yan State was enough for the soldiers and civilians of the three counties to survive the winter.

Wait until next year from Xianyang to ship some more to last for a while, and the three counties will have a harvest.

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

But after thinking about it, Wang Jian understood:
