Chapter 762 This Is a Danger for Dayan, but Also an Opportunity for Dayan! The Enemy Force Is only Six Times as Large, What Is There to Fear?

Handan City is more than 1,300 miles away from Xianyang City.

Handan City is only more than 900 miles away from Ji City.

So as early as the day before the Qin monarch and his ministers received the military report, the Yan monarch and his ministers had already placed the military report sent back by the Yan envoy in front of them!

When Li Ke finished reading the military report, the entire Wuyang Palace was silent.

After more than ten breaths, Ju Guang spoke softly with difficulty: "Zhao State, just died like this?"

That was the powerful Zhao that beat Yan State like a child in recent decades and often chased Yan State to fight!

In the end, it just died like this? !

From Tian Guang's assassination of Qin, Yan State's betrayal of the alliance to Zhao State's demise, only two months had passed!

The confidence of Yan State to dare to go to war with Qin State, just died like this? !

The Yan monarchs and ministers were a little dazed.

The powerful enemy that they thought was unstoppable was so vulnerable in front of Qin State!

And they had just formed an irreconcilable feud with the King of Qin!

Ju Wu suddenly slapped his thigh, his words full of resentment and regret: "I have long said not to break the alliance! Don't break the alliance!"

"Since my Great Yan has already decided to form an alliance with Qin to attack Zhao, then stick to it."

"If my Great Yan had not broken the alliance, my Great Yan could now share the territory and victory after the fall of Zhao with Qin!"

"Instead of having to face the wrath of the powerful Qin like now!"

Ju Wu really couldn't understand what King Xi of Yan was thinking.

Is he really addicted to breaking alliances?

Whenever there is an ally, he has to stab him in the back, otherwise he will feel uncomfortable, right!

Ju Guang said in a deep voice: "There is no need to discuss the past!"

"Since the situation has developed to this point, we should seek a solution to the problem."

"I think the reason why Qin hates Yan is because Prince Dan sent assassins to assassinate the King of Qin."

"The reason why Yan betrayed the alliance is because Prince Dan suddenly attacked Qin General Meng Wu on the front line."

"This time, Yan betrayed the alliance, and the king knew nothing about it, and the court knew nothing about it. It was all done by Prince Dan alone!"

"Since the Qin envoy also asked for Prince Dan's head, I think Prince Dan should bear the cost of betraying the alliance, and use Prince Dan's life in exchange for peace between Qin and Yan!"

This is the response plan that King Xi of Yan and Ju Guang had discussed before the plan began.

If a critical situation that Yan could not bear arises, then use Yan Dan's head to calm Qin's anger.

Anyway, all this was done by Yan Dan himself, and King Xi of Yan pretended to be deceived by Yan Dan.

However, Ju Wu angrily rebuked: "What the Prime Minister said is as stinky as fart!"

"The prince led the army to attack Qin after the meeting in front of the palace."

"Everyone here is responsible for this betrayal!"

"You colleagues eat the salary of the king, but now you want the king's prince to cover up your guilt?"

"It's ridiculous!"

Ju Guang said coldly: "Yes, Tian Guang and Jing Ke are the ones the prince is looking for."

"Tian Guang and Jing Ke assassinated Qin King, is the biggest hatred of Qin! "

Ju Wu said in a broken voice: "The prince is the crown prince of our Great Yan. If the prince is handed over to Qin just because he executed the order of the court and turned against Qin, will he be dealt with by Qin? "

"Then can the soldiers of our Great Yan still trust the orders of the court? ! "

Ju Guang spoke again: "Yes, Tian Guang and Jing Ke are the ones the prince is looking for!"

Ju Wu said angrily: "Is this the only thing the prime minister said? ! "

Ju Wu felt bitter when he shouted and refuted.

He was just a resident in Qin for more than a year, but why did Yan Dan become more and more crooked!

Wouldn't it be better to maintain friendship with Ying Zheng as much as possible and leave a way out for himself?

He had to find an assassin to assassinate the brother who could have been his right-hand man, but in the end, he didn't succeed!

Not only did Yan Dan not gain any benefits, but he also caused Yan Dan's biggest external supporter to completely turn against Yan Dan, and gave Ju Guang and other people who were hostile to Yan Dan a powerful weapon to attack Yan Dan, and even might kill Yan Dan.

If Yan Dan was not here, Ju Wu really wanted to cut open Yan Dan's brain to see if it was filled with sewage!

After the ministers argued for a long time, Yan Wangxi, who was sitting on the high platform, finally said: "Enough!"

Ju Wu and Ju Guang glared at each other hatefully and returned to their original positions.

King Xi of Yan tapped the table with his right hand, and his voice was somewhat eager: "The prince is the foundation of our Great Yan!"

"Even if the prince has made some mistakes, how can I bear to hand the prince over to Qin for disposal?!"

"And you all should not be so anxious."

"In my opinion, this time Qin's destruction of Zhao is a danger to our Great Yan, but also an opportunity for our Great Yan!"

Ju Guang, Ju Wu, Li Ke, Qi Pao and other Yan ministers, regardless of their status and power, all looked stunned.

Qin's destruction of Zhao is a danger to Great Yan, they can understand.

But how can Qin's destruction of Zhao be an opportunity for Great Yan?

Ju Guang immediately bowed his hands: "I am stupid, please speak clearly!"

Yan Wangxi tapped the table with his fingers 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 ministers, but also exists in the hearts of the common people in Qin and Zhao."

"Therefore, although the Qin army has broken Handan and captured the King of Zhao, the process of the Qin army taking over the old Zhao city will definitely not be easy."

"And this is my Great Yan's opportunity!"

Ju Guang's eyes suddenly lit up: "Does the king mean that I, Great Yan, should take the initiative to contact the cities of the old Zhao and ask them to be included in my Great Yan?!"

Yan Wangxi smiled and nodded: "Yes!"

Ju Guang shouted excitedly: "I think the king's strategy is very good!"

"In this way, Qin can gain Handan County after paying huge casualties."

"But I, Dayan, can replace the three counties of Jun, Hengshan and Julu without any effort!"

"This is really a clever strategy to reap the benefits!"

Qi Bao ruthlessly interrupted the fantasy of the monarch and his ministers: "Do you think, Prime Minister, that the State of Qin is willing to see me, Yan, reap the benefits of being a fisherman?"

"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 country, the Great Yan State, is a big deal!"

Ju Guang is speechless.

But King Yan was delighted and shouted: "Qin has been tired of fighting for many years and is already exhausted."

"The Qin State's demise of Zhao is indeed beyond our expectations, but the destruction of the powerful Zhao State will inevitably cause Qin State to suffer huge losses."

"Whether it is military strength or food and grass, the Qin State is definitely close to its limit!"

"Whether Qin is angry with me, Dayan, what does it have to do with me, Dayan?"

"We, Dayan, want to take advantage of the Qin State's exhaustion after the Qin-Zhao War to seize the victory and strengthen the country's power!"

"If Qin is willing to just sit back and watch, that's all."

"If Qin dares to attack my country, Dayan, why should we, Dayan, 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 deduction is flawless!

Ju Guang excitedly raised his hands and shouted: "Your Majesty is wise!"

"My lord, second the motion!"

However, Ju Wu, Qi Pao and other veterans all frowned, and looked at Yan Wang Xi with shock.

Li Ke couldn't help but step forward, cupped his hands and shouted sadly: "Your Majesty!"

"Do you still remember the Battle of Hadai?"

"My grandfather was killed in battle in Chao!"

In the fourth year of King Yan's reign, the Changping War broke out between Qin and Zhao. King Xi of Yan was just as prepared as he is today and sent 600,000 troops to attack Zhao, who had just been tricked by Bai Qi and killed 400,000 soldiers.

As a result, Yan State was defeated!

Prime Minister Li Fu died in battle, General Qing Qin was captured, and the vitality of the Yan State was seriously damaged!

The lessons learned from the past are still before our eyes!

The King of Yan looked happy but not happy, and said in a deep voice: "During the Battle of Chadai, Zhao was still alive, so he naturally had spare power to attack Yan."

"Today, Zhao has died, so the territory of Zhao can be taken over by me, Dayan!"

"As for Qin, I, the Yan State, will not take the initiative to attack Qin."

Li Ke wanted to persuade him again, but Wang Xi of Yan obviously had his own idea and couldn't wait to speak: "Pass the widow's order!"

"Recruit another 200,000 troops and horses, and all of them will be under the command of Prince Dan!"

"Instruct Prince Dan to form an array along the lines of Neihuang, Fuliu, and Anguo to intercept the Qin army, and to capture the east of this line. Therefore, the territory of Zhao is the land of our great Yan!"

——

It was May 13th in the 14th year of the Qin Dynasty.

Inner Yellow City.

The Qin Kingdom's black bird flag at the top of the city was already somewhat broken.

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 bag, took a sip without looking at it, and said warmly: "Thank you very much."

Tian Zhen stood half a step behind Mengwu and looked at the densely packed Yan army outside the city. His voice was full of worry: "The Yan army has besieged our inner Huangcheng for more than two months."

"I don't know when the DPRK and China 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 what would greet him would be the paperwork or the education from the 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 an isolated 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."

"Our army held back the Yan army of 300,000 with 50,000 soldiers and horses, which is the greatest achievement for our great Qin."

Tian Zhen couldn't help but look at Meng Wu: "Six times the enemy, that's it?!"

That's an enemy force six times our own!

Six times!

Not to mention six times, even if the Chu army besieged my city of Daqi twice, my Daqi generals 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 corner of Tian Zhen's mouth twitched slightly, and he bowed his hands: "General, great talent!"

Meng Wu ignored Tian Zhen's flattery and just looked outside the city again. He saw several Yan troops outside the city protruding from the formation and running towards the inner yellow city.

Meng Wu glanced briefly at the armor and weapons of the Yan army and said as usual: "Send orders to the crossbowmen in Beicheng and Xicheng to form a formation!"

"Send the order to Dongcheng, Rolling Stone is ready!"
