Chapter 117: Yan Kingdom Surviving

Wang Bing suggested that King Yan go east to hunt Liaodong, which was seconded by most of the civil and military forces in the court, and the situation fell to one side in an instant.

"You..." Guo Yu didn't expect that all the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty wanted to flee eastward, completely ignoring the temple of their ancestors.

"Guo Xiang, the current situation is tense. If there is more food, General Le will have more hope of defeating Zhao Jun. I also hope that Guo Xiang will not be stubborn for the sake of Dayan." Lai, he really agreed with Wang Bing's proposal in his heart. He didn't come out to second the proposal at the beginning, so he didn't know what King Yan was thinking. Now that he knew, King Yan also wanted to leave Jicheng, so he was the first to One jumped out and seconded.

Guo Yu was in a hurry, and after a long time, you are all loyal ministers who think about the country of Yan, but I am not, so I am not human inside and out, so I plan to be tough with these people.

But he was still interrupted by King Yan, who said: "Okay, Prime Minister Guo, since all the ministers want me to hunt in the east, and I have thought about it again and again, I feel that instead of staying in Jicheng, wasting food and causing a burden to General Le, It's better to go to Liaodong and wait for the opportunity."

"Your Majesty is wise!" Everyone except Guo Yu bowed.

Seeing this situation, Guo Yu just sighed. He knew that it was useless to say anything now. King Yan had already decided to go to Liaodong, and he could not change it alone.

He just left the hall silently, his back was so bleak.

King Yan felt a little distressed about Guo Yu's loneliness. He didn't know Guo Yu's loyalty, and he also knew that Guo Yu was doing it for himself and for the good of the country, but he really didn't want to stay in Jicheng anymore. Here, he had to bear There is too much pressure, and what's more, he has been unable to understand. Three years ago, he was still high-spirited, destroying the country and expanding the territory. How could he end up like this in just three years?
"Your Majesty, since you have decided to go to Liaodong, there is no food in Liaodong, but there are not many soldiers and horses. Do you need to send General Le to send a troop to follow Your Majesty to Liaodong?" Wang Bing said.

The King of Yan nodded. Liaodong has always been the rear of the Yan State. Except for the occasional barbarian who came to fight the autumn wind, there was no war. The Yan State's garrison in the four counties of Liaodong has not been many. After the war, in order to concentrate on dealing with Zhao, most of the soldiers and horses from the four counties of Liaodong were transferred back, resulting in the current four counties of Liaodong being very empty.

King Yan thought for a while, and said: "Order Le Lei to tell him the will of the widow to hunt in the east, and order him to dispatch a soldier and horse to follow the widow to hunt in the east while ensuring the defense of Jicheng. Common people, tell them, if anyone is willing to go to Liaodong with the widow, come together, and take one more commoner, and you can save more food. Within three days, everyone is ready to go to Liaodong with the widow. .”

Since Zhao Jun came to Jicheng, the people outside Jicheng have all hid in Jicheng, and their daily life is supported by the food stored in Jicheng. If all the people in Jicheng are taken away, the remaining food can support Lelei's army Three months, four months or even longer, now it is July, and the winter will be less than three months away. By then, the entire Yandi will be covered with ice and snow. have to retreat.

"Here!"

As soon as the news of King Yan's east hunting came out, most of the people were willing to leave Jicheng with King Yan, except for a very few people whose homeland was difficult to leave. They began to pack their things and prepare to leave Jicheng.

In the Yan army camp outside the city, Le Lei had just sent away the servant who came to deliver the order.

Standing next to Le Lei are generals Qin Kai and Lu Han of the Yan Army. These are the only remaining generals of the Yan Army. Although they are not very good, they are the best fighters in the entire Yan Kingdom except for Le Lei. General.

After returning to the big tent of the Chinese army, Le Lei said to Qin Kai and Lu Han: "General Qin, General Lu, you have also heard what the servants said just now, since the king is determined to hunt Liaodong east, then we must try our best Everything the king needs."

Although I was very dissatisfied with King Yan's abandonment of Jicheng and taking refuge in Liaodong, as a subject of Yan Kingdom, he had to obey King Yan's edict. May have objected.

"Follow the general's orders!" Qin Kai and Lu Han said.

Le Lei nodded and said: "The general has carefully calculated that he can spare [-] soldiers and horses to hunt Liaodong with the king, but soldiers and horses alone are not enough, and a general who commands the troops is needed. This general will choose General Lu Han .”

"General Le, if you deploy 15 troops, then there will only be 40 soldiers left under the general's command. Isn't it too dangerous to fight against 5 Zhao Jun?" Qin Kai said. Qin Kai was not dissatisfied with letting himself stay when he went to Liaodong. It is twice the size of the Yan army, and now 15 people have to be transferred to Liaodong with the King of Yan. Can the remaining 40 people block the [-] Zhao army?

Le Lei smiled and said: "General Qin, don't worry. When the king leaves, he will take away most of the people in the city. Then we will retreat directly into the city. Jicheng is the capital of King Yan, and the city walls are strong. According to the citadel's words, Xin Zhao can't do anything to us."

As the royal capital of Yan State for more than 200 years, Jicheng is no worse than Jinyang of Zhao State, Chang'an of Han State, Puyang of Wei State, Pengcheng of Chu State, etc., and even stronger than Wancheng of Deng State. 15 troops were stationed, not to mention that the Zhao army only had 40, even if there were another 40, it would not be so easy to break through.

Three days later, at the east gate of Jicheng, a large number of people and ministers gathered early in the morning. The number of people was nearly 20. Among them, in addition to the 10,000+ people, there were tens of thousands of ministers and their families.

Under the protection of Lu Han, King Yan's chariot walked out of Jicheng and stopped at the city gate.

Attendant Wang Bing stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, everyone is ready to leave at any time, but Guo Xiang is still unwilling to leave."

"Since he doesn't want to leave, let him do what he wants." Regarding Guo Yu, King Yan expressed his helplessness. He had sent people to persuade Guo Yu to leave with him more than once, but Guo Yu refused all of them, and even persuaded him several times. People were scolded, and King Yan also wanted to understand that since Guo Yu was willing to live and die with Jicheng, he should do what he wanted.

King Yan glanced at Jicheng, full of sorrow. He didn't know if he would have a chance to come back after leaving, but he knew that if he didn't leave, he might never be able to leave Jicheng. To be able to come back in the future.

King Yan stared at Jicheng with wet eyes, and murmured: "Le Lei, I left everything to you, you must not let me down, Jicheng, I will come back."

After finishing speaking, King Yan wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his hands, and said to Wang Bing: "It's getting late, let's go!"

"Here!" After Wang Bing received the order from King Yan, he said to the large army: "Your Majesty has an order, set off immediately and go to Liaodong!"

"Boom!" Qin Kai led the army to clear the way, followed by King Yan's chariot and concubines, princes and ministers, followed by the family members of the ministers, and then the common people, and after the common people came Qin Kai. After the dispatched troops and horses were cut off, Gongqing plus the people and the army, a mighty 10,000+ people went to Liaodong?

Guo Yu on the top of the city looked at King Yan who was going away, wept bitterly, and collapsed in the tunnel: "My lord, do you know that once you leave, I am afraid you will never come back again. How will you see me again in the future?" The ancestors of Dayan."

Guo Yu knew very well that with the departure of King Yan, the country of Yan might really have to hide in Liaodong to survive. He couldn't stop it, so he could only stay in Jicheng to help Lelei. There is still hope for the country.
