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

His mood seemed a little excited, he could sweep the surrounding circle with the momentum of thunder, and his style of play was vigorous and vigorous, probably only Wang Jian could do it.

He can do it, but since he was injured in the area of ​​Yewang, his style of play has become more conservative.

Otherwise, with his previous personality, he would have launched a general attack on the Weizhuang tribe long before it was snowing heavily.

"Master Hou, Wei Zhuang has been standing still. If we continue to wait, we don't know how long this battle will last. It's better to launch an offensive as soon as possible once and for all."

When Ji Mo came to Ying Yuan, he couldn't hide his excitement.

After all, Wang Jian had already won many battles, he didn't want to, and many soldiers didn't want to wait any longer.

They all wanted to start the war as soon as possible.

Ying Yuan understood his mood very well, and said, "Don't worry, this day is not far away."

Although the food road to South Korea was cut off, the food and grass that Wei Zhuang carried at the beginning were saved, so he didn't have to face the food crisis for a while.

Since it was impossible for them to run out of food, Ying Yuan had no choice but to trap them for a longer time, causing their morale to gradually collapse.

In short, he will try any method that is beneficial to his own side, and he does not want to miss it.

Although the Qin army's confrontation with the Han army can be regarded as a crushing situation, but why not take advantage of it and reduce some of our own casualties?

[Chapter 248.244: The Battle of 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..."

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, if he attacks you...what should I do?"

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.
