If Jing Ke’s assassination of Qin Dynasty played any positive role in history.
That should have led Qin Shihuang to the wrong strategic direction and delayed the unification of the Central Plains for several years.
There is no doubt that Ying Zheng originally wanted to destroy Wei first.
Everyone knows that at this time, Wei State has become a thorn in Qin State's side and wants to be removed quickly.
However, Ji Dan managed to assassinate Qin at this time...
In anger, Yingzheng ordered Wang Jian to attack Yan, so the Battle of Yishui and the Battle of Ji began.
And the Yan State is a bitter cold land in the north. Attacking the Yan State will completely consume the troops and food without being replenished.
In order to hold on to the conquered land of Yan, we have to spend a long time.
So much so that it would take several years for Wei to be able to eat this big fat piece of meat.
Just when everyone was chatting happily, Chen Wei walked up and shouted:
"After eating, work quickly."
"The way you eat it, you won't be able to finish it until tomorrow!"
When he turned to leave, he found two businessmen sitting in the crowd, and he scolded angrily:
"Is the military camp a place for idlers to eat and drink? Don't let me see you two again!"
Saying that, he left without looking back.
Yan spat at Chen Wei's back and cursed:
"This thief is hateful!"
"I'm using my own food, so what are you doing?"
Ren replied:
"It's not just today that you realized that this guy hates the talent of engineers."
"Say less. If he hears it, it will increase the task and embarrass the gunner!"
Ying Zheng looked at Chen Wei's back and asked Shen Bing:
"That one is..."
Shen Bing explained:
"He is a miser."
"It's okay. I'll just keep him out of sight when I come next time!"
Ying Zheng said "Oh" and nodded slowly:
"What I'm saying is, just don't let him see it!"
For some reason, when Ma Shang said this, Shen Bing suddenly felt a little cold, with goosebumps all over his body and trembling.
Damn this damn weather, if I had known earlier, I should have asked Fatty Tun to change into more new sets of clothes!
If there are no new clothes, just old clothes will do.
Wang Jian and Yang Duanhe were inspecting the defense line when they were summoned.
Who is Wang Jian? He has long known that Ying Zheng will not let Yan go easily.
The reason is simple: if Ying Zheng planned to reconcile, why bother to order Wang Jian to personally command the siege of Jicheng?
Why lead an army of 100,000 people and rush to Handan at night?
Although Handan is short of soldiers, it is also short of food.
Even if these 100,000 troops rush to Handan and do nothing but just survive the winter, the amount of food and grass they will consume is not a small amount!
This is also the reason why Xianyang did not dare to easily reinforce the three counties in the past: there was insufficient food and grass, and the more troops were added, the heavier the burden would be.
Therefore, there is only one explanation for the current massive increase in troops:
Ying Zheng was paralyzing the Yan army, making them have hope for peace without making preparations.
after that……
Therefore, after Wang Jian rushed to the front line, he spared no effort to arrange the Qin army to prepare for the siege.
As usual, Yang Duan and his subordinate Hanoi soldiers were the main force of the attack.
Firstly, Wang Jian needed to "keep a low profile", and secondly, the Hanoi soldiers had more experience in trebuchet raids. For example, the last time they conquered Handan, they fought with great success.
Wang Jian, Yang Duan and Man thought that they were going to see Ying Zheng in the tent on such a cold day, but they didn't expect that Ying Zheng was sitting by the fire, turning the wok with chopsticks and eating, surrounded by thinly sliced beef.
,mutton……
As soon as he saw Wang and Yang, Ying Zheng waved excitedly and shouted:
"The two generals have arrived just in time. I am just worried that there is no one to share with me!"
After saying that, he asked Zhao Gao to place two folding stools next to the fire and said:
"The two generals are so unreasonable."
"There are folding stools everywhere in the army, but I didn't know it until now!"
Yang Duanhe quickly replied:
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. This thing was made by artillery engineers for the convenience of soldiers."
"Because it is difficult to get into the elegant hall, the humble minister did not report it."
"Wei Chen will go and get them to collect..."
While eating, Ying Zheng shook his hand at Yang Duanhe with a "hmm". After a while, 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 been a wasted life!"
Then he turned to Yang Duanhe and said:
"When did I say that I would ban this folding stool?"
"Even if this folding stool is not a place of elegance...how can this military camp be a place of elegance?"
Yang Duanhe quickly bowed his hands:
"What the king said is true."
How could Ying Zheng be so pedantic and care about so-called etiquette if he came from a hard life?
What's more, the Qin Army is inherently pragmatic and will promote batches of products that are proven to be practical.
Folding stools are useful, not only useful but also useful.
Especially in the wild, if you don’t have a stool, what should you do if it rains or snows? Do you still sit on the ground as usual?
Therefore, the popularity of this folding stool is "like a surging river that cannot be stopped no matter what."
"Come on, please sit down!" Ying Zheng raised his head towards the folding stool next to him while he was busy eating.
Wang and Yang hesitated for a moment.
How can they have a place in front of this great king?
However, they did not dare to disobey Ying Zheng's order, so they looked at each other and thanked each other before sitting down in fear.
A guard handed the two of them a pair of chopsticks, and at Ying Zheng's signal, the two of them picked up something and put it in the water.
After it's cooked and tasted with the meat sauce, it really has a unique flavor.
Then the two couldn't help but start devouring it.
Ying Zheng smiled and said:
"How? Do you know what this way of eating is called?"
The two gave vague answers:
"Wei Chen doesn't know."
Ying Zheng said proudly:
"This is called a fire wok!"
The two of them said "Oh":
"It is indeed an image, with fire and a wok!"
“It’s wonderful to stay warm and eat fresh food at the same time!”
At this time, Ying Zheng poured another bowl of stuffed balls into the wok and said:
"The way to eat the hot pot is to have a few people gather around it to make it feel good!"
"Tip it a little and give it to the two generals to try."
"It will definitely satisfy the two generals!"
Wang and Yang couldn't help but stare at the thing rolling in the water in a daze. What was it?
But looking at the snow-white dough, it looks a bit like the noodles I've tasted before, so it shouldn't taste bad.
Just thinking about it soon made my mouth water.
After a quarter of an hour, it was almost cooked. Ying Zheng first picked one up and then motioned for the two of them to do it.
Wang and Yang had already been watching each other for a long time, so they were not polite, picked one up and took a bite...
“The best in the world!”
"tasty!"
Ying Zheng was a little uninterested. How could it be that only a few people were burned if they didn't know how to eat?
What Ying Zheng didn't know was that Wang and Yang were not burned, but they were burned but they didn't dare to show it in front of the king, so they swallowed the hot dumplings... …
It felt like a ball of fire going straight into the chest from top to bottom. It was indescribable how uncomfortable it was. Tears could not help but roll in my eyes. I had no taste at all, but my mouth kept saying "delicious".
