My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?

Chapter 9 Fan Yuqi, do you want to usurp the throne?

Fan Yuqi:? ? ?

Hearing Ying Chengxuan's words, even though Fan Yuqi was quite wealthy, he almost couldn't hold his breath.

No, you are the second son of the late king and Lord Chang'an of the Qin Dynasty. Why would you say such a dismissive word as "Chu Gong" so casually?

He even invited me to go out with him!

Fan Yuqi flatly refused: "The general will still be in charge of conscription matters, and I have no time to take care of him for the time being."

"Mr. Chang'an, you can do whatever you want!"

Ying Chengxuan's smile faded a bit: "General is not in a hurry about conscription, so why is General Fan so anxious?"

"If others didn't know better, they would think that General Fan is the commander-in-chief of this army."

Although this is true, this must not be said openly, so Fan Yuqi quickly made a look of fear and handed over his hands to accuse: "I don't dare!"

Ying Chengyu returned to his smile and even grabbed Fan Yuqi's arm: "In that case, let me go as I please!"

Fan Yuqi no longer shied away and followed Ying Chengyu all the way to the east of the camp.

Gradually, a foul smell entered Fan Yuqi's nose, and the smell became stronger the further east he went.

Fan Yuqi finally realized, no wonder Ying Chengyu noticed something unusual in the toilet pit. It turned out that he really smelled it!
After all, I have never used such a large open-air toilet pit before, so I have no experience.

Standing on the edge of the toilet pit, Ying Chengyu looked at the excrement water that had obviously grown higher and said softly:
"This is the first time I have seen a toilet pit in the military. It really makes me stunned."

"However, General Fan is a veteran general, and he was praised highly by the Prime Minister as a stable and mature general, so I will rely on the general more."

"Since General Fan chose to arrange the toilet pits in this way, General Fan must have a reason!"

"It's just that I don't understand this truth. How about General Fan demonstrate it for me?"

Ying Chengyu turned his eyes to Fan Yuqi, raised his right hand, and issued an invitation with a smile:
"General Fan, would you like to show your respect?"

Fan Yuqi bowed and handed over without hesitation: "The toilet pits in the ordinary army are definitely not arranged in this way, and the general has never arranged the toilet pits in this way."

"The general made an oversight and forgot to dig a toilet pit in advance. If the military officials had not taken the initiative to lead the entire army to relieve themselves here, the general would have almost made a big mistake."

"I sincerely ask Lord Chang'an to punish me!"

Fan Yuqi didn't defend himself at all, and he admitted his mistake as a bachelor.

After all, it is Fan Yuqi's dereliction of duty in arguing about this matter. There is no need to insist on this point to raise Ying Chengyu's vigilance.

Ying Chengyu looked Fan Yuqi up and down, his tone revealing deep distrust: "As a veteran general, he has been in battles dozens of times, and is praised by the Prime Minister as a stable general."

"Would General Fan make such a low-level mistake?"

"Did General Fan forget it, or did he do it on purpose?"

Fan Yuqi handed over his hand again without hesitation: "I have indeed forgotten it. I will finally be convicted and I beg the Lord of Chang'an to punish me!"

Ying Chengyu asked with disbelief: "Did you really forget?"

"Going to the toilet! You have to deal with it every day and think about it every time you set up camp. Have you forgotten?"

"Even if you forget, have you forgotten all the lieutenant colonel, captain, and staff?"

Fan Yuqiman answered honestly: "The digging of toilet pits has always been integrated with the layout of the camp, and the layout of the camp was decided by the commander."

"Everyone thinks that Mr. Chang'an must have already considered this matter. In addition, the matter is too small and the generals in the army will not pay attention to it on weekdays, so no one reminded them."

"And the general has indeed forgotten!"

If Fan Yuqi said that he did it on purpose, then Ying Chengyu would have many ways to punish Fan Yuqi.

But Fan Yuqi bit him to death and just forgot, and explained that this job should have been Ying Chengyu's job.

If you have forgotten your own work, is there something wrong with me also forgetting it?
There is nothing wrong with it!

Can you still punish me for your own dereliction of duty?

Then as the general, will you also be punished?Otherwise, this would be an unfair reward and punishment!
And as long as Ying Chengyu is unfairly rewarded and punished once, the soldiers' dissatisfaction with Ying Chengyu will definitely rise several levels in an instant!

Looking at Fan Yuqi's sincere eyes, Ying Chengyu sighed softly: "The toilet pit is a small matter, but there are so many such things in the army?"

"It is the little things one after another that constitute the victory or defeat of a war!"

"After this incident, I know that I don't understand military affairs. I will probably mess up the morale of my own troops before I even meet the enemy."

"And the generals in the army have no experience assisting a general who knows nothing."

"How can we win the war? We are lucky to be able to reach the border of Qin and Zhao safely without mutiny!"

Ying Chengyu waved his hand as if he was frustrated: "Come on, let's send an order to the entire army to return to the court."

This time Fan Yuqi couldn't hold it any longer, his eyes widened, his face was full of disbelief, and his words were a little incoherent:

"Chang'an Jun, what did you say?"

"The class teacher returns to court?"

"You want to withdraw your troops? It has just been a few days since the expedition. The entire army has just marched to Hedong County, and it has not even reached the border. You want to withdraw your troops? You actually want to withdraw your troops!"

Fan Yuqi thought about Ying Chengyu's direct conflict after seeing through his plan, and also thought about Ying Chengyu's compromise and tolerance of dissatisfaction.But Fan Yuqi never expected that Ying Chengyu would choose to return to the court with his teacher!

How can Fan Yuqi still play?
Once the news of Ying Chengyu's withdrawal spreads, no matter how dissatisfied the soldiers are, they will not be able to rebel. After all, it is not a life-threatening matter, it is just a little problem in life. If it lasts for more than ten days, it will be over. Is it worthy of committing a mutiny?
If the soldiers had not mutinied, would Fan Yuqi have been able to kill Ying Chengxiu himself with one sword?

The two seem to have the same result, but they are worlds apart in terms of status.

The Ying clan will not let go of the younger brother of the King of Hand Blades who wields open fire.

If things were handled so roughly, Lu Buwei and Ying Zheng might not be happy with him, and they might even hate him for being incompetent!
Ying Chengxuan asked as a matter of course: "I don't know the soldiers, and the general can't remember such a trivial matter. Even the whole army doesn't know to remind me."

"Big plans such as strategies and plans are beyond our capabilities, and small things such as food, clothing, housing and transportation are not something you care about."

"Then why fight? Let the soldiers die!"

"Not as good as the class teacher!"

Fan Yuqi hurriedly persuaded: "But the imperial court ordered you to lead the army to attack Zhao."

"Now your Majesty has returned to the DPRK without even leaving the territory of Great Qin. This is an act of disobedience."

"According to law, you should be beheaded!"

Ying Chengyu smiled nonchalantly: "This general is the son of the late king, and he said before the expedition that he was incapable of leading troops."

"Now that I have confirmed that I really do not have the ability, I have taken the initiative to withdraw my troops and return to the court. This is to save the soldiers of Great Qin and reduce losses."

"The court may punish me, even deprive me of my title, fiefdom, and demote me to a commoner, but how can I take my life? I never promised to bring a victory to the Qin Dynasty!"

"It's up to General Fan to withdraw the troops. We must do it quickly. I can't wait to return home to Gaole."

"Hachifu, go pack your bags."

Yafu didn't know why, but he immediately handed over: "Wei!"

Fan Yuqi was anxious.

He finally understood that Ying Chengyu had never wanted to go on an expedition from the beginning. Whenever he found a reason, he wanted to return to Xianyang immediately.

As for the consequences of disobedience, Ying Chengyu didn't care. He could take the title and fiefdom as long as he survived.

Fan Yuqi didn't know whether Ying Chengyu could achieve this goal, but he didn't dare to gamble.

If Ying Chengyu really returns to Xianyang City now, then his chance will be gone.

And with his ability, if he misses this opportunity, it will be difficult for him to take a step further, let alone reach the sky in one step!
Fan Yuqi took a step forward and grabbed Ying Chengyu's arm, and persuaded him very sincerely: "Your Majesty, please wait a moment!"

"When a general of an army joins a new army, he always needs to learn a thing or two. A few years ago, when General Wang (General Wang Jian) ​​first arrived at Hangu Pass, it took him eighteen days to reorganize the army and order everyone to follow suit. "

"Your Majesty's worries will eventually be revealed!"

"From today onwards, the general will be responsible for the affairs of the army, large and small. Think carefully about everything, and you will never let what happened today happen again!"

"I beg you, Your Majesty, to have more trust in yourself and our generals, and don't mention the withdrawal of troops lightly!"

Ying Chengyu's face was extremely gloomy, and he forced Fan Yuqi's hand open.

Fan Yuqi hurriedly apologized: "The general was in a moment of impatience and bumped into your Majesty. Wan Wang..."

However, before Fan Yuqi could finish speaking, Ying Chengyu suddenly flew up and kicked Fan Yuqi directly in the abdomen!

"Oh!"

The cowhide combat boots with iron plates at the bottom collided with the bronze nail plate on the belly of the general's armor, making a deafening impact.

The unprepared Fan Yuqi was kicked backwards half a foot, and fell into the toilet pit again.

The fecal water, which was already above the ankle and had fermented for several days, was knocked out into ripples. The filth of various colors not only filled Fan Yuqi's armor, but also hit him all over his head and face!
Seeing this scene, Fan Yuqi's soldiers went crazy. They drew their swords and rushed forward, roaring angrily:

"If you dare to insult my master, you should be killed!"

"The master humiliated his ministers and died. If I don't avenge the master's shame today, how can I have the face to survive!"

"Go and pull the owner out quickly, I'll stop them later!"

Bafu and others were a little confused. They had no idea why their master kicked Fan Yuqi into the manure pit, but the master was always right!

"Protect the master!"

"The whole army is listening to the order, the deputy general Fan Yuqi wants to cause chaos, protect the general!"

"Whoever dares to step forward will be killed!"

The soldiers from both sides fought directly in one place.

Ying Chengyu stood on the edge of the toilet pit with his hands behind his back, looking down at Fan Yuqi, and asked coldly:

"Are you going to take charge of all the affairs of the army?"

"What qualifications do you have to take on all the affairs in the military?"

"Fan Yuqi, do you want to usurp the throne?"
