Chapter 762 This is Dayan’s crisis, and it is also Dayan’s opportunity! It's only six times the enemy's force, so what's there to be afraid of?
Handan City is more than 1,300 miles away from Xianyang City.
Handan City is only more than 900 miles away from Jicheng.
So as early as the day before the monarchs and ministers of Great Qin received the military report, the monarchs and ministers of Yan State had already placed in front of them the urgent military report sent back by the Yan envoy!
When Li Ke finished reading the military report, the entire Wuyang Hall was silent.
After more than ten breaths, Ju Guang just spoke softly with a difficult voice: "Zhao State, is it just like that?" Beat Qiang Zhao!
In the end, he died just like that? !
Only two months have passed since Tian Guang assassinated Qin and Yan broke their alliance to Zhao fell!
Yan’s confidence to dare to go to war with Qin was lost like this? !
All the monarchs and ministers of the Yan Kingdom were in a daze.
The powerful enemy they thought they could not withstand was so vulnerable to Qin!
But they have just formed an undying feud with King Qin!
Ju Wu suddenly slapped his thigh, his words full of resentment and regret: "I have long said that you should not betray the alliance! Do not betray the alliance!"
"Since I, Dayan, have already If you are determined to make an alliance with Qin and attack Zhao, then stick to it."
"If I, the Yan State, had not betrayed our alliance, we, the Great Yan State, would now be able to share the territory and victory after the death of Zhao with the Qin State!"
"We would not have to face the wrath of the powerful Qin like we do now. Ah! ”
Ju Wu really couldn’t understand what Yan Wangxi was thinking.
Are you really addicted to betraying your alliance?
As long as you have an ally, you have to backstab him quickly, otherwise it will be uncomfortable, right?
Ju Guang said in a deep voice: "There is no need to discuss the past matters!"
"Now that the situation has developed to this point, it is time to find a solution to the problem."
"The truth is, The reason why Qin hates me, Dayan, is because Prince Dan sent assassins to assassinate the King of Qin."
"The reason why I, Dayan, betrayed the alliance was because Prince Dan suddenly attacked Qin General Meng Wu on the front line. br>
“This time I, Yan, betrayed the alliance. The king knew nothing about it, and the court knew nothing about it. It was all done by Prince Dan alone!”
"Since the envoy of Qin also demands the head of Prince Dan, I think that Prince Dan should bear the price of betraying the alliance, and exchange the life of Prince Dan for peace between Qin and Yan!"
This is Yan! Wang Xi and Ju Guang had discussed the response plan before the plan started.
If there is a critical situation that Yan cannot bear, then use Yan Dan's head to calm Qin's anger.
Anyway, all this was done by Yan Dan himself, and King Yan just pretended to be deceived by Yan Dan.
However, Ju Wu shouted angrily: "Xiangbang's words are as stinking as discouragement (farting)!"
"The prince's decision to lead the army to attack Qin was decided by the court in front of the palace."
"Everyone here is responsible for this betrayal of the alliance!"
"All of my colleagues are eating the king. Lu, now you want your prince to cover up your guilt?"
"What a shame in the world!"
Ji Guang said coldly: "Of course, Tian Guang and Jing Ke. The man is what the prince is looking for.”
"The assassination of the King of Qin by Tian Guang and Jing Ke is the great hatred of the Qin State!"
Ju Wu said decisively: "The Crown Prince is our crown prince of Yan. If the Crown Prince carries out the orders of the Central Government and rebels against Qin, he will The prince is at the mercy of the State of Qin."
"Do we, the Yan soldiers, still dare to trust the orders of the Central Government?"
Ji Guang said again: "Of course, Tian Guang and Jing Ke. This person is what the prince is looking for!"
Ju Wu said angrily: "Is this the only thing the prime minister said?"
While he was angrily refuting, Ju Wu felt bitter in his heart.
He just stayed in Qin for more than a year, but why did Yan Dan become longer and more biased!
Wouldn’t it be better to maintain the friendship with Ying Zheng as much as possible and leave a way out for yourself?
He had to find an assassin to kill the brother who could have been his rightful helper, but in the end, he didn’t succeed!
Yan Dan gained no benefits at all, and even allowed Yan Dan’s biggest external supporter to completely turn against Yan Dan. It also gave Ju Guang and other people who were hostile to Yan Dan a powerful weapon to attack Yan Dan. , and may even kill Yan Dan.
If Yan Dan hadn't been here, Ju Wu would have really wanted to cut open Yan Dan's brain and take a closer look to see if it was filled with feces and water!
After the ministers argued for a long time, King Yan Xi, who was sitting on the high platform, finally said: "That's enough!"
Ju Wu and Ju Guang glared at each other hatefully and returned to their original positions. .
The fingers of King Yan's right hand tapped the case table gently, and his voice was a bit eager: "The prince is the foundation of my country, Yan!"
"Even if the prince has some mistakes, I still have some faults. How can you bear to hand over the prince to Qin? ”
"And you gentlemen, please don't be so anxious."
"In my opinion, Qin's destruction of Zhao this time is both a danger and an opportunity for our great Yan!"
>Ju Guang, Ju Wu, Li Ke, Qi Bao and other officials of the Yan Kingdom all looked astonished regardless of their status or power.
Qin destroying Zhao is a danger to Yan, and they can understand it.
But how could Qin’s destruction of Zhao become an opportunity for Yan?
Ju Guang immediately handed over his hand: "I am stupid, but I hope the king will speak clearly!"
The king of Yan tapped his fingers on the table a little faster: "The hatred between Qin and Zhao is as deep as the sea!"
“This blood feud is not limited to the nobles and important ministers, but also exists in the hearts of the leaders of Qin and Zhao.”
“Therefore, although the Qin army has defeated Handan and captured the king of Zhao, The process for the Qin army to take over the old Zhao city will not be easy."
"And this is my opportunity for Dayan!"
Ju Guang's eyes suddenly lit up: "Could it be that your Majesty wants me, Dayan, to take the initiative to contact the cities of the old Zhao, and ask all the cities of the old Zhao to be included in my territory of Dayan?!"
The King of Yan smiled happily! And nodded: "Of course!"
Ju Guang exclaimed excitedly: "I think this strategy of the king is very good!"
"In this way, after the Qin State paid huge casualties, , you can get Handan County.”
“I, Dayan, can replace the three counties of Jun, Hengshan County and Julu County without any effort!”
"This is actually a wonderful way to reap the benefits of the fishermen!" Qi Bao ruthlessly interrupted the fantasy of the monarch and his ministers: "Do you think, Prime Minister, that the Qin State is willing to see me, Yan, reap the benefits of the fishermen?"< br>
“I think that for today’s Great Yan, gaining benefits is a small matter, but dispelling the anger of the Qin State and protecting our Yan State is a big deal!”
Ju Guangwu Be true to your word.
But the King of Yan was delighted and shouted: "Qin has been tired of fighting for many years and is already exhausted."
"Qin's demise of Zhao is indeed beyond everyone's expectation, but the destruction of the powerful Zhao will inevitably cause Qin to suffer huge losses."
"Qin must be close to its limit in terms of military strength and food and grass! "
"Is Qin angry with me, Dayan? What does it have to do with me, Dayan?"
"I, Dayan, just want to take advantage of the Qin State's weakness after the war between Qin and Zhao. Seize the fruits of victory and strengthen the country’s strength!”
“If Qin is willing to sit back and watch, that’s all.”
"If Qin dares to attack my country, Yan, why should we, Yan, be afraid of fighting Qin!"
The weakness of Qin's national power can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.
After destroying Zhao State when it was already exhausted, how much national strength could Qin State still have, and how many troops could it recruit?
On the other hand, Yan State has not had any national wars in recent years except for being beaten up by Ying Chengyu. Its national strength is well preserved and its military strength far exceeds that of Qin State.
Yan Wangxi’s inference is flawless!
Ju Guang excitedly raised his hands and shouted: "Your Majesty is wise!"
"I second the proposal!"
However, Ju Wu, Qi Bao and other veteran ministers all frowned and looked at Yan Wangxi's eyes were full of shock.
Li Ke could not help but take a step forward, raised his hands and cried sadly: "Your Majesty!"
"Do you still remember the Battle of Hadai?"
"My grandfather was killed in battle at Chao!"
In the fourth year of King Yan's reign, the Battle of Changping broke out between Qin and Zhao. King Xi of Yan was also preparing to pick up the slack and sent 600,000 troops to attack Gang. Zhao Guo was tricked and killed by Bai Qi with 400,000 soldiers.
As a result, Yan State was defeated!
Xiangbang Lifu was killed in battle, the general Qing Qin was captured, and the vitality of the Yan country was seriously damaged!
The lessons learned from the past are still before our eyes!
The King of Yan looked happy but unhappy, and said in a deep voice: "During the Battle of Chadai, Zhao was still alive, so he naturally had enough power to attack Yan."
"But today, Zhao has died, so Zhao's territory has been Let me, the great Yan, take it!”
“As for the Qin State, I, the great Yan State, will not take the initiative to attack Qin.”
Li Ke wanted to persuade him again, but King Xi of Yan had obviously already done so. Having his own idea, he couldn't wait to speak: "Pass on the order!"
"Conscript another two hundred thousand troops and horses, and all of them will be under the command of Prince Dan!"
"Order Prince Dan to form an array along the lines of Neihuang, Fuliu, and Anguo to intercept the Qin army, and to close the area east of this line. Therefore, the territory of Zhao is the land of our great Yan!"
——
May 13th, the 14th year of the Qin Dynasty.
Inner Yellow City.
The Qin Kingdom Black Bird Flag at the top of the city is already somewhat damaged.
From time to time, a crow would stand on the top of the Great Qin Black Bird Flag, peck the feathers with its beak, rest for a while, and then rush towards the buffet feast below!
Tian Zhen limped up to the city wall, handed a water bag to Meng Wu, and said softly: "General, drink some water."
Meng Wu took the water He took a sip without looking at the bag, and said warmly: "Thank you very much."
Tian Zhen stood half a step behind Mengwu's left, looking at the densely packed Yan army outside the city, his voice full of emotion Worry: "The Yan army has besieged our inner Huangcheng for more than two months."
"I don't know when the DPRK will be able to send reinforcements to our army."
Tian Zhen felt panicked.
After taking the imperial examination, Tian Zhen successfully landed and became a civil servant in Da Qin.
Tian Zhen originally thought that he would be greeted by paperwork or the education of a military academy.
But Tian Zhen never expected that what was waiting for him was the horn of war!
Tian Zhen does not resist war, after all, he dreams of becoming someone like Ying Chengyu.
But Tian Zhen never dreamed that his first battle in Qin would be to be trapped in a lonely city and fight an enemy six times stronger alone!
Tian Zhen had to admit that he wanted to go home!
Meng Wu said calmly: "There is no need to expect reinforcements."
"The enemy's army is only six times our army, there is nothing to fear."
"I The army of 50,000 soldiers and horses held back the 300,000 Yan army, which is the greatest contribution to our Qin Dynasty. ”
Tian Zhen couldn't help but look at Meng Wu: "Six times the enemy, that's it?!"
That's six times the enemy's force!
Six times!
Not to mention six times, even if the Chu army besieged my city of Daqi twice, my Daqi general would have to write a letter asking for help every day!
Meng Wu frowned slightly: "How many?"
They just resisted the enemy's attack with absolutely weak troops on the front lines of Neihuang, Yangjin, and Linghu.
Meng Wu is very familiar with this job.
It’s only six times the strength, not worth mentioning!
The corners of Tian Zhen's mouth twitched slightly, and he bowed his hands: "General, a great talent!"
Meng Wu ignored Tian Zhen's compliments, and just looked outside the city again, and saw several troops outside the city. The Yan army protruded outside the formation and rushed towards Inner Huangcheng.
Meng Wu briefly glanced at the armor and weapons of the Yan army and said as usual: "Send the order to the North City and West City crossbowmen to form formations!"
"Send the order to the East City, prepare to roll the stone!"
