Getting Simulated By The Empress Is Not My Intention

  Chapter 72 Wei Yao's New Idea

   "The whole army obeys orders, attack the city!" Ying Yiren was not used to him at all, and directly ordered the attack.

  The soldiers pushed the siege vehicles and drove the ladder to the city wall. On the city wall, the guards defended with arrows, stones, boiling oil and other items. Yi Quzan personally sat on the wall to direct the process, and the process was orderly.

  After besieging the city for a while, the Yingyi people saw that no progress had been made, so they ordered their troops to retreat.

"Such a siege is unlikely to be effective." Ying Yi thought to himself, Sun Wu, the sage of soldiers, said in the Art of War: "Ten will encircle them, five will attack them, double them will fight them, enemies will divide them, and few will divide them." If you can keep it, if you don’t, you can avoid it.”

  Generally speaking, the success rate of siege with five times the troops is more stable.

  The other party still has a hundred thousand troops in the city, and his own Qin army, plus the Yiqu army, Wuzhi army, and Quyan army who recovered along the way, add up to more than twice the opponent's army. It is too difficult to attack by force.

   While besieging the city, not to mention that the Qin army does not have enough food, the other side will soon have reinforcements, and Qin will lose at that time.

   "By the way, where's Zhang Beichen?" Ying Yiren suddenly thought that Zhang Beichen hadn't returned to China after instigating Yiquming's coup. Instead, continue to stay in the capital.

   "With his means, he must be thinking of a way." Ying Yiren waited patiently.

  …

   "This king already knew that he should take down Qin with all his might!" Wei Yao was annoyed when she saw the information.

  She didn't want to withdraw her troops at the time, and continued to attack even in the cold winter.

  But King Han and King Zhao disagreed. Their national strength was not as strong as that of Wei State, and their benefits from attacking Qin State were not as great as that of Wei State, so they wanted to withdraw their troops.

  This spring, Wei Yao also wanted to attack directly. But this proposal was still rejected by King Han and King Zhao. Their reason was that their country was short of food, and they had to farm in spring, and they would conscript soldiers after harvesting the wheat in summer.

   In this way, Qin was given a chance to breathe.

  As for the state of Qin, in fact, the state of Qin also has no food! Qin's attack on Yiqu was completely desperate. If you can't fight down, if you can't grab food, you will die!

  …

  【Wei Guo sent 100,000 troops, South Korea sent 50,000 troops, Zhao Guo sent 50,000 troops to help Yiqu. 】

  The pressure on Ying Yiren is even greater, he must quickly break through the city, and then defend against the enemy.

   While she was in distress, she finally received a message from Zhang Beichen.

  【After the failure of the Yiquming coup, Zhang Beichen continued to lurk in the capital of Yiqu. He pretended to be a businessman from the state of Wei and bought a mansion. He ordered his accompanying guards to dig tunnels in the mansion. After several months, he had already dug out a secret passage leading to the outside of the city. 】

   "Great!" Ying Yiren was overjoyed, as long as he secretly sent people into the city to create chaos, he would have a chance to capture the city!

  …

  Yiquzan also stepped up patrols in the city, especially targeting those who were originally related to Yiquming and the people of Qin.

   Zhang Beichen pretended to be a businessman from the state of Wei, and the Yiqu people did not make things difficult for him. Because they are still counting on Wei Guo's rescue, they dare not be too presumptuous to Wei Guo businessmen.

  【At night, you open the secret passage and let Qin Jun sneak into the city secretly. You bribed a canal official and led these people to set fire and shout in the city, causing chaos in the city. 】

  …

  Outside the city, looking at the flames in the city. Ying Yiren knew that the time had come.

   "Siege!" Ying Yiren asked the soldiers to attack again.

  Yi Quzan hurried up to maintain order.

   "Don't make a mess, send people to put out the fire, and kill all those who make a rebellion!" Yi Quzan had just ordered, but he heard shouts from outside.

   "Yi Qu Zan seeks power to usurp the throne, a great rebellion. Yi Qu Ming should be king!"

   "What? Yi Quming is still alive? Wasn't he killed by this king?" Yi Quzan was shocked, but soon calmed down again.

   Someone must be pretending to be Yi Quming to create chaos, but he can figure it out, but others may not be able to.

  Some officials and people who used to be loyal to Yiquming didn't know what to do, so they simply hid to watch the show, and some even joined the rebellious team to attack the palace.

  …

  【The capital of Yiqu was in chaos. Even though the king of Yiqu tried his best to command, he still couldn't save the defeat. Ying Yiren led the soldiers into the city and took control of the situation. 】

  In the palace, Zhang Beichen holds a sword and looks at Yiquchan on the throne.

   "So it's you!" Yiqu Zan laughed loudly, and said, "The majestic Prime Minister of Qin State has been lurking in our Yiqu country for so long! It's my king's mistake!"

   "Before I die, I have one more request—"

  Before Yi Quzan could finish his sentence, Zhang Beichen beheaded him with a knife: "There's so much nonsense."

  He thought to himself: "If you still want to get your hands on Ying Yiren, it will be impossible in your next life!"

  …

  【You recruit the army of King Yiqu, open the granary to release grain, the people of Yiqu are all grateful. 】

   "The bet is won!" Ying Yiren finally breathed a sigh of relief, this round will not start the game with annihilated country. Thanks to Zhang Beichen, otherwise, it would be impossible for Yiqu Kingdom to be conquered by her own conquest.

  With Yiqu's surrendered army, food and war horses, she can block the attacks of Wei, South Korea and Zhao.

  【You send some soldiers to guard the Yiqu country. At the same time, bring troops and food back to the country for defense. 】

  …

"Yiqu country has been defeated?" South Korea, Han Mengshu saw the information and thought carefully, "Qin's strength has been supplemented. If you want to defeat it again, it will be a waste of time. Anyway, this start has already gained a lot of benefits. Withdrawal and development Bar."

   Zhao Wang also thinks the same as her.

  …

  【Han Jun and Zhao Jun decided to withdraw, you had to order Pang Ming to withdraw. 】

   "Sure enough, this king already knows!" Wei Yao has no other choice, and will definitely not be able to defeat Qin State for a while. The long-term battle will also consume a huge amount of Wei's national power.

   "This king is not reconciled!" Wei Yao rolled around on the bed with her pillow in her arms, and her plan to defeat Qin and **** Zhang Beichen failed like this!

  Although Qin has lost half of its land now, after laying down the Yiqu, the land area is larger than before. There is no doubt that in a few years, it will become a powerful country again!

  The distance from my goal of snatching Zhang Beichen is getting farther and farther!

   "Bang!" Wei Yao accidentally bumped into the head of the bed, "Bastard, who made this bed!"

   Wei Yao was angry, and suddenly came up with an idea: "Hey, to capture Zhang Beichen, it doesn't seem necessary to capture Qin!"

  She thought that letters, gifts and other behaviors of characters can increase the favorability!

  As long as the favorability reaches the level of love, isn’t that Zhang Beichen still hers? Maybe he can even lure Zhang Beichen to rebel!

   "That's right, why didn't this king think of such a good way at first?"

   "Hee hee, Ying Yiren, just wait and see!"

  …

  【A businessman from the State of Wei visited you and brought letters and gifts from the King of Wei. 】In Qin State, Zhang Beichen actually received Wei Yao's "express delivery".

  He opened the package, and inside was a fur coat made of ferrets, as well as gold and silver jewelry.

  The letter read: "Zhang Beichen, Qin is bitterly cold, this mink coat is for you to keep out the cold."

  She didn't write anything about courtship, but Zhang Beichen saw that his intimacy with Wei Yao had increased by a few points.

  Zhang Beichen didn't care, and didn't return the gift.

  He continued to plan how to make Qin quickly unify the world.

   "Nowadays in the Central Plains, heroes are vying for hegemony. With Qin's current strength, it is not enough to compete with them. Why don't you subdue all the Rongdi tribes on the border first, and expand the territory!"

  Zhang Beichen marked three places on the map, Wuzhi State, Quyan State, and the Rongdi tribe of Lao Shanyu in Longxi.

  Although both Wuzhi State and Quyan State helped Qin State attack Yiqu State before, they also swore to pay tribute to Qin State. But this is only on the surface. Once Qin is weak, they will make trouble again.

   It is better to fight directly, annex the land and population, and strengthen Qin.
