Daqin Engineering Corps

Your Majesty is going to attack Wei State with the grain of Yan State!

Wei Guo is in trouble today.

In fact, Wang Jian only guessed one but not the other.

Ying Zheng further deepened Shen Bing's strategic thinking.

The reason why he asked Yan for food instead of property was because food was more important to Yan at this time.

With Yan Wang's character of being greedy for life and afraid of death, most of them will agree to this condition.

There is also a reason why Yingzheng limited "three days" to collect [-] shi.

The State of Yan first lost a large amount of military rations, and now it has to hand over one hundred thousand shi in a short time...

That's not what the state treasury or the surplus grain stored in the local area can handle. There may be grain in the farther border areas, but three days is not enough to transport it.

Therefore, Yan Wangxi could only search for the surplus grain of the people for the winter.

You must know that Yan State is located in the north and the winter is extremely cold. If the people hand over all the surplus food, they will starve to death in winter.

So... it can intensify the conflict between Yan Wangxi and the common people and make the sky angry and the people angry.

At that time, if Qin State wanted to destroy Yan again, wouldn't it be within reach?

So this is actually killing two birds with one stone:

On the one hand, it can weaken King Yan's rule to prepare for the future destruction of Yan, and on the other hand, it can supplement the Qin army's rations to prepare for the attack on Wei.

After it was over, Ying Zheng raised his head and said, "Go down!"

Wang and Yang agreed to retreat, but were soon stopped by Ying Zheng:

"General Yang, I want someone from you!"

Yang Duanhe replied:

"Does Your Majesty want to sink his troops?"

"Weichen will bring him right away."

Yang Duanhe knew that Ying Zheng had been in contact with Shen Bing as a horse merchant during this time.

Although Yang Duanhe did not give up Shen Bing, but how dare he refuse to obey the king's important person.

Unexpectedly, Ying Zheng shook his head:

"No, although the engineer is an extraordinary talent, under General Yang's arrangement, he is making the best use of everything."

"It would be a waste if it is by the widow's side."

"What the widow wants is that coward, called..."

Speaking of Ying Zheng, he turned his gaze to Zhao Gao beside him.

Zhao Gao quickly replied:

"The miser Chen Kui!"

Ying Zheng nodded:

"It's this fellow, bring him here!"

Yang Duanhe seemed a little unkind when he heard Ying Zheng's tone, and couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

This Chen Wei was afraid that he accidentally offended the king because he looked down on people with a dog's eyes. Now he doesn't need to do it himself and Wang Jian can't blame himself.

Immediately he answered, and immediately sent someone to call Chen Kui.

How could Chen Wei know what was going on, and he said that Yang Duan and he called him because they had something to discuss, and he was immediately overjoyed, secretly thinking that this trip was finally in the eyes of the general.

So Pidianpidian followed the guards.

When I came to the tent, I saw that it was the horse merchant who had eaten before.

When Chen Kui was in doubt, he heard Zhao Gao shout angrily:

"How courageous! Why don't you kneel down when you see the king?"

Chen Kui was so frightened that he lost his soul, knelt on the ground and shivered with a thud, and he came back to his senses after a while, and immediately kowtowed his head like garlic:

"Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty, spare your life!"

"The subordinates have eyes but don't know Mount Tai, and don't know that the king is here..."

Ying Zheng stood up slowly from the fire, and asked Chen Wei word by word:

"I heard that you are jealous of Shen Bingzhi and have repeatedly made things difficult for the gunner, right?"

How could Chen Wei dare to deny it, or he was so frightened that he didn't know how to defend himself, he just repeated over and over again:

"This subordinate is guilty, and the king forgives the crime..."

Ying Zheng shook his head and sighed:

"You know one ten-thousandth of Shen Bing."

"Besides, jealousy and jealousy are narrow-minded, but they are above Shen Bing. What's the reason for this?"

"Even if I forgive you for your disrespect, I can't forgive you for your dereliction of duty!"

As he spoke, he raised his head towards Zhao Gao and said very casually:

"It's a trap!"

Then he turned around and left, as if he had dealt with a trivial matter.

Chen Kui behind him was pale and slumped on the ground...

Chapter 1 Nineteen

Yingzheng also had considerations for asking Wang Jian to inspect the head on his behalf.

Anyone with a little brain knows that this head will not be fake, otherwise, would Yan Wangxi still live?

More importantly, Ying Zheng didn't want to reveal his identity and position...

Therefore, the prisoner Yingzheng didn't have to take the risk of personally inspecting the head. What if it happened?

As expected, Yan Wangxi immediately agreed to the terms of the settlement, just as Ying Zheng thought.

Isn't it just one hundred thousand stones of grain?

If a person dies, how can there be food?

Can't we still eat meat if we don't have enough food?

So without thinking too much, he ordered the whole city to collect food, and there was a mess of chickens and dogs jumping around for a while.

Then, cartloads of grain were transported out of the city and handed over to the Qin army.

Shen Bing still got the news from Fatty Tun.

The reason was that there was too much food and needed to be counted, so the fat man was urgently requisitioned for a few days.

Before leaving, he hastily reported to Shen Bing:

"Master, our army has reconciled with Yan State."

"The condition is [-] stone grains, and the apprentice is here to count these grains..."

Shen Bing was dumbfounded when he heard this.

He was not surprised that Yan Wangxi would agree to this condition, although it was indeed a stupid thing...

The enemy is approaching the city and asks you for food and reconciliation, can you agree?

If the Qin army lacked food and grass and was unable to attack the city, wouldn't it be possible to attack the city forcefully after the food was delivered?

This is clearly handing the knife to the enemy!

The reason why Yan Wangxi agreed was that he had no confidence in defeating Qin Jun, so he only asked Qin Jun to let him go.

But having said that, if he could even beg his own son's head to be spared, then what would the food be.

What Shen Bing wondered was, why is this script different from history?

This battle can't be fought like this?

Didn't Ying Zheng give up on Jicheng because it was occupied?

But this is also a good thing, Yan Guo will get food instead of fighting.

Then the saved troops and this batch of food... can attack Wei.

I'll go, this Yingzheng has opened up!

Just when Shen Bing was puzzled, he saw Jian Yushi holding a bamboo slip and bringing a few personal guards to Shen Bing, bowed slightly, and then read out:

"The Hanoi Army Artillery Division helped our army break through Handan, built water tankers, overturned carts to garrison fields, and built pontoon bridges to help our army cross the river."

"With due diligence and repeated outstanding achievements, all members are now promoted to the first rank."

"Worker Shen Bing, Jinjue doctor, official to miser!"

The craftsmen couldn't help cheering in unison upon hearing the words, so excited that they couldn't help themselves.

For the soldiers of the Qin Army, there is nothing more exciting than Jinjue, because it means that they have left their bottom status and moved to the top step by step.

If it is difficult for ordinary soldiers to cross the fourth level of nobility and "not change", Shen Bing has already done it at this time.Does this mean that as long as you follow Shen Bing, will you have a chance to enter Gaojue?

Cang blushed with excitement, he excitedly said to Shen Bing:

"Senior brother, I won't change it, I won't change it!"

"Four fields and four houses, annual salary of two hundred..."

Cang is afraid that he is thinking about being promoted day and night, so he can memorize these rewards by heart.

The censor Shi bowed his hands to Shen Bing and said:

"Congratulations to the stingy man for being promoted to a nobleman."

"Please hand over the test pass to change the household registration."

As I said before, the fifth-level noble doctor is not just as simple as being promoted.

It has already entered the threshold of the aristocratic class, and the household registration must be reclassified and passed down, and it must be remade, which is not sloppy at all.

Shen Bing said "Thank you, Yushi", and carefully handed over the test pass.

Then he asked suspiciously:

"If I were a miser, then Chen Mifu..."

The censor replied:

"It is said that Chen Yufu has been transferred back to Xianyang."

"He must have left in a hurry and didn't even pay attention to saluting."

Shen Bing let out an "oh".

He secretly thought that this lucky guy would be overjoyed because he could go back to Xianyang, so he didn't even need to salute.

Then Shen Bing sighed again:

Why wasn't I the one who was transferred?

I would also like to go back to Xianyang to live a stable life!

What do you want this Lao Shizi's official title to do, don't you want to stay on the battlefield and suffer?

As soon as the supervisor left, a large number of people came up to congratulate Shen Bing, some familiar and some unfamiliar.

Needless to say, those who are unfamiliar are those engineers who will become Shen Bing's subordinates in the future.

An army usually has five engineers with a strength of about a hundred.

They are Blade Division, Transport Division, Attack Division, Artillery Division and Defense Division.

They each correspond to different tasks:

Blade masters mainly repair weapons and equipment, such as swords, halberds, shields, armor and the like.
