Longyang loves Qin

Ye Yu led his army straight to Jicheng, apparently to destroy Yan.

Although Yan State doesn't have any good generals and its national strength is not rich, they are good at defense.Otherwise, they would have been swallowed up by the Eastern Hu Xiongnu and even Zhao Guo in the west.

The scarcity of talents in Yan State and the poverty in the country are not only related to their remote and dangerous terrain, but also because they do not have a good king.

I think that when King Yanzhao was in power, he recruited sages extensively, and recruited a large number of sages with respect to the corporals. With the help of Guo Wei, Le Yi, Qin Kai and others, he went to the peak.The country of Yan at that time was truly magnificent.

As a result, as soon as he left, his successors tossed those sages to run and die, and there was no ZTE master. Instead, they were all mediocre and incompetent kings, so that Yan State could be said to have suffered repeated defeats.

Maybe there will be such a ZTE master in a few generations, but the country of Yan has no time for that.

He said he was going straight to Jicheng, but Ye Yu couldn't really reach there with one click. He still had to go through Dukang on the south side of Jicheng.

Because of its geography, Yan State is a country that cultivates in the south and herds in the north, and the Dukang area is the main source of food for the State of Yan.

Ordinarily, it would have taken Ye Yu a long time to capture such an important area, but in fact Ye Yu only took less than three months, and this was the result of taking into account the long march and supplies.

Because he has a map of Dukang.

That's right, it was the map that Jing Ke hid with a dagger when he assassinated Qin Qin and was split in half by Ye Yu.

The State of Yan could not guarantee whether the map would be checked before the assassination of Qin, nor did they know how much Qin State knew about the Dukang area, so they had no choice but to prepare the real map.

If they lose left or right, Qin will definitely come to attack them. It doesn’t matter whether they have a map or not. It’s better to put all their eggs in one basket. If they succeed in assassinating Qin, then nothing will happen. What is a map then?

I think so, but in fact Yan Wang and Yan Dan dare not think about the possibility of failure at all, they are still the same timid people in essence.

Now it seems that every step they take is really digging their own graves, and it is a pity that they can't find a place.

After capturing the Dukang area, Ye Yu really went north to attack Jicheng this time. In less than seven days, the cowardly King Yan and Yandan escaped secretly. After the defenders were defeated, the gate of Jicheng was blocked. Easily breached.

"General, do we want to pursue the victory?" Xin Sheng asked.

This time, Ye Yu didn't bring Meng Tian, ​​Wang Ben and others with him. They were already able to be the coaches alone, but Fa Yan didn't have to fight such a big battle yet.

As his lieutenants were Xin Sheng and Zhang Han, and further down were Xin Wu and Zhang Ping. They happened to be two pairs of brothers, both rookies.

Ye Yu didn't answer Xin Sheng's question directly, but turned around and asked Zhang Han on the other side, "Where did they go?"

"Going northeast." Zhang Han replied immediately.

Ye Yu looked at the map and thought about it. If you go north, it is easy to find and chase, but if you go northeast, it is difficult to find. The northeast region of Yan Kingdom has been stretched to the place where the Yalu River still goes down in later generations.

Staring closely at the corner of the map, Ye Yu replied, "Don't chase after the poor, first appease the Yan people in front of you."

In fact, King Yan and the others are not poor bandits at all, but since Ye Yu said so, then Zhang Han and the others can only follow suit.

With the previous experience of temporarily governing the Chu State, there was no uprising in the southern part of the Yan State, and the Qin army's food and grass were also replenished.

At the same time, King Yan's whereabouts were also detected, and they fled to Liaodong, which is the tail of the land of Yan Kingdom.

As a result, not long after they left, Zhao Gongzi Jia, who had previously fled to Dai County and established himself as king, had a change.

Zhao Jia naturally refused to live in a small city forever, otherwise he would not have to be king.Excluding the state of Qin to the west of him, he had no choice but to go east and choose to wait for an opportunity to seek revival from the state of Yan.

Previously, Zhao Jia considered joining forces with Yan to fight against Qin, but at this time, Qin was too powerful, even the alliance of Yan and Zhao could hardly shake him, let alone a small acting king.

So he decided to reap the benefits of being a fisherman, and while Ye Yu was busy chasing King Yan, he sneaked into their rear, intending to take their part of the territory.At that time, he will have food and soldiers, and if he forms an alliance with Qi, it will be difficult for Qin to move them for a while, so he will have time to mobilize the people of Zhao to fight against Qin.

It's a pity that Qin State had already planned to destroy the dynasty, and was discovered by Qin State's spies before he was just making preparations.

Ye Yu immediately sent Zhang Han to cooperate with Xin Sheng who stayed in Jicheng to resist and attack Dai County, while he himself continued to lead the army to pursue King Yan.

Both Xin Sheng and Zhang Han were people with real skills. Dai Guo, who was the remnant of Zhao State, couldn't get good from them, so he was beaten back steadily and returned to the original Zhao State.

Seeing that the dynasty was about to be destroyed, the people of Zhao State actually resisted the Qin army.

In order to get Zhao Yimin to obey his words, Zhao Jia has been secretly instigating them, and finally saw the effect today.

Xin Sheng and Zhang Han couldn't move an inch. At first, they just exterminated the dynasty. They didn't bring enough troops, and Ye Yu didn't leave too many troops in Jicheng.

There is a deep hatred between Zhao and Qin, and the survivors here will never obey like other countries.After the initial resistance, more survivors of Zhao also supported Zhao Jialai, their acting king, and spread like sparks, intending to restore the country.

In such a situation, Ye Yu had no choice but to turn back, first pacify Zhao Di and Dai, and then pursue the unthreatening King Yan.

The father and son of Yan Wang who were far away in Liaodong were able to linger on. Among them, Yan Wang was frightened and fell ill this time. During his illness, he blamed Yan Dan for all his mistakes, and even blamed him when Qin was hostage. Did not please Ying Zheng.

Faced with such scolding, Yan Dan had to serve him.

In this way, Yan Dan hated Qin State even more. If Ying Zheng was in front of him now, even if he was unarmed, Yan Dan would definitely use all his strength to strangle Ying Zheng to death.

In addition, he also hated Jing Ke who failed to assassinate Qin, thinking that it was because he was not capable enough, but he still deceived him in Yan State, and enjoyed the standard treatment of Shangqing and even the prince.

Of course, Ye Yu, who sabotaged his plan to assassinate Qin and came to capture his country, was not spared by him.

He even thought maliciously, if he could have used some means to get Ye Yu back when he was in Qin, how would the situation be like today?

But he could only think about these things. After several months of defeating Zhao Dai, Ye Yu finally attacked Liaodong.

King Yan, who was ill before, couldn't even lie down to recuperate now. If he lay down again, he would have to lie down in a coffin.

As the Qin army approached, Yan Wangxi would wake up from nightmares even after taking a nap, and he was like a frightened bird.

Yan Dan is actually in a similar situation, but he still has a group of followers, and his situation is better than King Yan.

On this day, Yan Dan, who got a good idea from the disciples, came to King Yan in a hurry and said, "Father, Ye Yu will come sooner or later, how can I sit and wait for death! Why don't you transfer to the Marquis of the Ji family?"

The Marquis of the Ji family is located further east of the Yan State, almost located in the later North Korea. It is a small country entrusted by the Zhou Dynasty. It is not considered one of the countries in the Central Plains. Their national power is not strong, and they rely on Yan State for development in many aspects. After so many years, it is equivalent to being a vassal state of Yan State.

King Yan and the others couldn't escape to Donghu's territory. With the grievances between the two sides, they must be in bad luck by then.

Therefore, the disciples who put forward the suggestion of Jishi Houguo can be said to have pointed out a way out.

King Yan's eyes lit up, he stood up hurriedly, because he was too anxious, he was tripped by his robe and fell to the ground, but he didn't react at all, regardless of his embarrassed appearance, he directly shouted to Yan Dan: "Go! Go! , the widow is leaving today!"

Yan Dan didn't dare to delay, and ordered to go on immediately.

No one wanted to die, so within a day, the people below had packed up, King Yan and others ran for their lives again, even more hurriedly than last time.

When Ye Yu's army arrived, it was a scene of people going to the empty building again. The other generals all looked annoyed, but Ye Yu's expression remained unchanged.

Zhang Han sensed something was wrong, King Yan's departure was too coincidental, why didn't he think of escaping in the past few months, but he thought of it at this time?Zhang Han thought, and doubts appeared on his face.

Ye Yu gave him a wink, and Zhang Han put away the quick question, and waited until the crowd dispersed before asking, "Did the general let King Yan escape on purpose?"

Now that he was discovered, Ye Yu didn't intend to hide it anymore, "That's right."

Zhang Han was just guessing, but Ye Yu did not expect Ye Yu to admit it. He was puzzled for a while before seriously asking: "Why did the general do this? But what is the old relationship between the general and Prince Yan?"

Ye Yu pointed to the map and said, "I just took advantage of this to conquer the Marquis of the Ji family."

Zhang Han could understand what he said, Qin had a plausible reason for launching a war now, but for the Marquis of Ji, a small and remote country that was far away from the Central Plains and might not know anything about the situation in the Central Plains, there was indeed no reason. What a reason to go to war.

And if it wasn't for destroying him along the way, it would not be worth the loss to attack him from a long distance, so Ye Yu's behavior is understandable.

Although Zhang Han believed Ye Yu's reason, he always felt that something was wrong.

After a long time, he remembered the strangeness.

Ye Yu's personality can be regarded as a kind person among the generals and even the courtiers. He is not too aggressive, and the countries in the Central Plains are fine. The small country worth mentioning is not at all the target of Ye Yu.

However, even if King Yan and others joined forces with the Marquis of the Ji family, they would not be able to cause any disturbances, so Zhang Han did not go back to investigate.

Therefore, he still didn't know that after he left, Ye Yu's finger that was originally pointing to the Marquis of Ji's country slipped down and landed at a place outside the southern border of the Marquis of Ji's country.

——Chen Guo.

A place that is still in a primitive society and is called a country but actually has no king, and is just a place in a tribal alliance.

The author has something to say: ① Regarding whether the map is real or not, considering that Fan Yuqi’s head is real, I think the map should also be real, otherwise the flaw would be too big.

②The fact that Xin Sheng and Xin Wu are brothers is purely private.

③ Jishihou State (Jizi North Korea) is a vassal state of the Zhou Dynasty, located in the current North Korea but not the current North Korea.

④ There seems to be a debate about whether Chen Guo is the ancestor of today's North Korea and South Korea.
