Chapter 946 The Young Man Has No Moral Principles and Is Attacking by Surprise! When It Comes to Saving Lives, I Am No Less Capable than Others!

January 16, the 16th year of the Qin Dynasty.

The flags were waving and the figures were bleak.

More than 100,000 Yan troops gathered in front of and behind Wang Huang, marching towards Jicheng.

After this battle, nearly 200,000 Yan troops were buried in a foreign land. The Yan State did not seize any territory. Instead, it lost a lot of baggage and even gave Qin two million stone millet.

However, there was not much sadness on the faces of the remaining Yan troops, only the happiness and joy of surviving the disaster. Some veterans even took the time to share escape techniques and wilderness survival experiences with the recruits during the march.

After all, they have been losing like this for so many years and are used to it.

Under the king's banner, a five-horse cart crushed the snow and mud on the ground. Inside the cart, Wang Xi of Yan kept holding Li Ke's hand, his face full of smiles and admiration: "This time, I, Yan, can do it with only two million stones." The price of millet and 500,000 bolts of cloth led to a truce with Qin, all thanks to Li Shangqing!"

"I never thought that Li Shangqing could solve my problems many times!"

"When I return to Jicheng, I will certainly give you generous rewards!"

King Yan Xi has also become accustomed to being unable to expand his territory. In this battle, as long as the territory is not compromised, he will win!

Li Ke made a seemingly sincere expression of gratitude and said seriously: "Your Majesty, you are so complimentary!"

"The merit of Qin and Yan's withdrawal of troops and truce this time is definitely not the fault of me alone, but also the fault of the king and all his colleagues."

"It was the king and his colleagues who fought fiercely with Qin in the land of Dukang, which made Qin unable to fight for a long time. Only then did Qin agree to a truce on such terms."

"In my opinion, if the King of Qi had not asked for surrender and betrayed the alliance on behalf of the King, we would not know who would win or lose in this battle!"

The smile on King Yan's face was obviously brighter, and he scolded disdainfully: "King Qi is really a rat!"

"As for the acting king, he is also a treacherous villain!"

"How can we accomplish great things by joining forces with such allies?"

"I also hope that Aiqing will do your best to help me, deeply cultivate the internal affairs of our country, and build up the strength of our people."

"When the day comes, I will definitely lead another expedition in person to open up and expand the territory for my great Yan!"

Just as Li Ke was about to take out his hand and hold it over to flatter him, he heard Yan Liu's anxious and depressed voice coming from outside the five-horse carriage: "Your Majesty!"

"There are traces of the Dai army ahead!"

The smile on King Yan's face disappeared in an instant, he raised the curtains of his car and asked solemnly: "How much have you discovered about Dai Jun? Where are you?"

Yanliu said continuously: "According to the reports from the scouts of various ministries, our scouts found traces of the Dai army's scouts twenty miles to the north-east, and there were no traces of the Dai army's soldiers and horses thirty miles to the north-east."

Yan Liu's words hit Yan Wangxi's heart like a heavy hammer!

King Yan lost his voice and murmured: "There is still no trace of the Dai army soldiers and horses thirty miles north by east?"

"Forty-two miles north by east is our Great Yanlishi City!"

"Fifty miles north by east is our capital city of Great Yan!!!"

The Yan army's scouts went thirty miles north-east and still found no trace of Dai's army, so where could Dai's army be?

The most likely possibility is that the Dai army is besieging Lishi City!

In an instant, King Yan's eyes turned red.

It is always the case that the few betray the alliance! They have always backstabbed their allies!

But today, Dai Wangjia, a young man who has no martial ethics, stabbed me in the back!

What’s even more annoying!

The few people stabbed their allies in the back several times, causing infamy all over the world, but they failed to gain any success.

In the end, this young man, Dai Wangjia, was just stabbing an ally in the back for the first time, and he had already attacked near the capital of the Yan Kingdom? !

King Yan jumped off the five-horse chariot in one step. With a push of his hands, he climbed onto the horse. He laughed angrily and said, "Good! Good! Good!"

"I thought that King Dai would eventually turn to attack Qin, so I did not pursue the humiliation of King Dai for betraying the alliance, nor did I take advantage of Dai's weakness to attack the country of Dai to punish Dai for betraying the alliance."

"Not only is the king not grateful, but he turns to attack me, Dayan?!"

"The king thinks that I am old and my sword is no longer good for me!"

"Pass the widow's order!"

"The whole army is marching towards Jicheng!"

"Send all the scouts in the army to the east and north to explore the enemy's situation."

"Inform the court, prepare food and grass, open up arsenals, and recruit officials."

"Gather all my strength, Dayan, to fight Daijue to the death!!!"

Li Ke was the first to raise his hands and shouted: "I am willing to die for the king!"

Following Li Ke, all the officers and soldiers of the Yan army shouted in unison: "Fight! Fight! Fight!"

The five-horse cart was taken back to the baggage camp, and Wang Huang, accompanied by King Yan Xi's horse, galloped north-east.

As more and more scouts were sent forward, more detailed battle reports were quickly transmitted back to the Yan army's center.

"Report! The national flag has been replaced at Lishi City!"

"Report! Our troops discovered the 150,000 Dai Army forty miles east by north. Judging from their armor and weapons, they are suspected to be soldiers and horses from the Qi Dynasty!"

"Report! There is not even one out of ten of our troops, and we still haven't been able to break through the Dai army's defense line to find out the reality of Jicheng!"

Listening to the incoming intelligence, Li Ke slapped his horse on the back and said bitterly: "Dai Guo is really attacking my capital!"

"Your Majesty, you are going too far!"

However, the anger on Yan Wangxi's face quickly disappeared, replaced by a serious look on his face, and a deep uneasiness surged in his heart.

King Yan suddenly asked: "So far, our army has not received military reports from the troops behind us?"

Yanliu, Li Ke and other ministers and generals were all startled, and then felt horrified!

Li Ke cupped his hands and said solemnly: "I haven't even sent a letter back to the king!"

King Yan Xi immediately reined in his horse and said with a frown: "No! Something's wrong!"

"If the defense of the scouts on behalf of the army was extremely tight, our scouts should not have obtained such detailed information."

"If the Dai army's scouts were lax in their defense, Jicheng, Lishicheng and other surrounding cities should not be able to send out even a single military report."

"Unless, the Dai army deliberately let our scouts go, but strictly blocked the cities around Jicheng!"

"The Dai army wants me to know that they are attacking my Great Yan, but they don't want me to know the details of Jicheng!"

Yan An asked in a low voice with some confusion: "Does it mean that Jicheng has already fallen?!"

Li Ke immediately shook his head and said: "Jicheng now has 10,000 guards, 20,000 city guards, thousands of anti-thief officials, and family soldiers, servants and guests of the princes and marquises. In wartime, more than 50,000 soldiers can be obtained."

"It has only been ten days since the Dai army tore up the alliance and went north."

"Even if the Dai army is brave, it is difficult to break through Jicheng guarded by more than 50,000 soldiers in just ten days!"

"Therefore, I think Jicheng should be Still holding on!"

Yan Wangxi nodded slightly and said: "What Li Shangqing said is what I think."

"I think that the Dai army deliberately expanded its scouts to lead our scouts to discover the traces of the Dai army, so as to force me to worry about the safety of Jicheng and lure me to lead the army back to help!"

"If my guess is correct, Jicheng should be safe in a short time, and the Dai army has no intention of attacking Jicheng."

"Instead, they have set up many ambushes in front of our army, waiting for me to lead the main force of our Great Yan to enter!"

Yan Liu was slightly startled: "This place is in the territory of our Great Yan, and it is close to the capital of our Great Yan."

"Dai army set up an ambush here to ambush and kill our army?"

"I think this is indeed possible, but the possibility is really small!"

Ambush and kill our army in the place where our army is most familiar?

Isn't this nonsense!

However, the more Yan Wangxi thought about it, the more flustered he felt.

In terms of the ability to lead the army to defeat the enemy, Yan Wangxi can only be a second-rate player at best.

But when it comes to escaping and saving his life? Yan Wangxi asks himself that he is not inferior to anyone!

As it concerns his own life, Yan Wangxi dare not be careless at all, and immediately ordered: "Pass on my order!"

"Send a thousand elite soldiers to raid the Dai army, and kill into Jicheng at all costs. Order the defenders of Jicheng to report the battle situation as soon as possible at all costs!"

"The rest of the army will turn east!"

"Hurry to Changcheng!"

——

"Report to the commander-in-chief, the Yan army has sent a thousand elite soldiers to our army."

"The King of Yan leads the main force of the Yan army to rush east!"

At dusk that day, in the dense forest fifteen miles south of Jicheng, Li Mu was stunned when he heard the words, and asked solemnly: "Does the Yan army have any new general flags?"

The scout immediately shook his head: "No!"

Li Mu was even more stunned and speechless.

When facing the ambush of the Qin army, the King of Yan was so anxious that he wanted to squeeze all his troops into the ambush circle before the Qin army attacked.

Now facing the ambush of our army, the King of Yan actually noticed it when he was far away from the ambush circle, and he rode away without hesitation?

It would be fine if Qin Changan Jun didn't fall for my strategy of luring the enemy deep into our territory.

Now even King Xi of Yan didn't fall for my strategy of luring the enemy deep into our territory?

Sure enough, when the three kingdoms joined forces, King Xi of Yan was playing my role!

But Li Mu was not discouraged at all, and immediately said in a deep voice: "Order!"

"Li Xian's troops continue to besiege Jicheng without attacking, and wait for my order."

"The rest of the troops will move their camps and rush towards the Yan army!"

"Remember!"

"The generals of each unit do not need to pursue killing the enemy, but should focus on making noise to deter the enemy!"

The messengers all bowed their hands: "Yes!"

Li Mu also walked out of the dense forest, jumped on his horse, and galloped towards the direction of the Yan army.

One day later, Li Mu finally saw the Yan army's royal flag from a distance.

Correspondingly, King Xi of Yan also saw Li Mu's general flag.

He also saw the Dai army flag that was like a tidal wave!

"That's a motherfucker!" King Xi of Yan's hands trembled as he grasped the reins: "King Dai, the most shameless!"

"First he seized the soldiers of the allied country, and then he wanted to harm the king of the allied country."

"No matter how this battle ends, the shameless name of King Dai will be engraved in the history books and will be cursed for eternity!"

King Xi of Yan was panicking!

If he hadn't noticed something was wrong early, he would have been trapped and would have died in battle!

Even if he had noticed something was wrong early, it would still be difficult for him to deal with the endless pursuit behind him!

Yan Liu said bitterly: "Your Majesty, please calm down first!"

"The current Dai army is powerful, what should our army do?"

Li Ke said in a deep voice: "The current Dai army is indeed powerful, but it is mainly composed of the troops of the old Qi. It is just powerful but not good at fighting."

"I am willing to lead an elite army to counterattack the enemy for the king and kill the enemy's spirit!"

Yan Wangxi's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Are you really willing to take on this important task?"

Leading a weak army to launch a counterattack against the Dai army is an extremely dangerous task.

If you are not careful, you may die in the battle!

But as Li Ke said, once Li Ke can lead the elite to severely damage the soldiers of the old Qi, he can kill the prestige of the Dai army, and the speed of the Dai army's pursuit will be dampened. It can also greatly boost the morale of the Yan army, adding vitality to Yan Wangxi's escape!

Li Ke bowed without hesitation and said, "I am willing to die for the king!"

Jicheng was trapped, and the prime minister Ju Guang who stayed in Jicheng must have been trapped in the city and might not survive.

In this way, the position of prime minister will be vacant!

If the situation is reversed at this moment, who else can be the prime minister of Yan State except Li Ke!

Yan Wangxi grabbed Li Ke's hand and said solemnly, "I am so lucky to have your help!"

"I am willing to allocate 50, 40, 30,000 elite soldiers to serve you!"

"My dear, you should do your best, but you should put your life first."

"When you come back, I will reward you handsomely!"

Li Ke bowed his hands and said solemnly: "Yes!"

As he bowed, Li Ke lowered his head slightly, hiding the corners of his mouth and the sneer in his eyes.
