Chapter 55: Ben Zhao

In 251 B.C., the chestnut belly sent an envoy to the state of Zhao and reported back to the king of Yan: the strong people of the king of Zhao all died in Changping, and they were lonely and not strong, and they could be cut down.

The king of Yan then attacked Zhao with the strength of the country, Lian Po lured the enemy to go deeper, broke the Yan army in Shanyi, killed the chestnut belly first, chased the king of Yan behind, captured more than 50 Yan generals, and the Yan army surrendered countless people.

Lian Po led the army to chase the Yan soldiers for more than 500 miles and besieged Yandu.

Li Mu even said in Daijun that he would surrender Lecheng, and Lecheng commanded 50,000 troops to break Qing Qin and capture him.

Jicheng is the capital of Yan and the capital of China in later generations.

Jicheng, as the capital of Yan Kingdom, originally symbolized the face of Yan Kingdom, and had an extremely respectful status, and most of the people in the city were inhabited by Yan Guo's nobles, and even ordinary residents felt superior.

But now, the people of Jicheng are panicking, and many people are even packing their bags, wanting to escape from this city they were once proud of.

In the palace of King Yan, King Yan had a cloak and a little crazy face.

"How can it be, how can it be!"

Even though half a month has passed since the defeat of Chestnut Belly, King Yan still can't believe it when he thinks of this sudden change.

Not only King Yan, but also the vast majority of the courtiers of Yan Kingdom were also born in a dream, trembling in their hearts.

"King, Lian Po commanded an army of 150,000 and has surrounded Jicheng."

"Now that the people in the city are panicking, please calm down and think of a way to retreat from the enemy!"

At this moment, Doctor Yan Guo lined up the canal and shouted loudly.

King Yan woke up suddenly, hurriedly walked down and grabbed Jiangqu's hands, and said, "The widow regrets not listening to the advice of the general's doctor, and insists on sending troops to attack Zhao State. ”

"Now that Lian Po is besieging Jicheng, can Qing have a strategy to retreat from the enemy?"

Jiang Qu heard this, but sighed slightly.

Although it was only at the beginning, Jiang Qu did oppose sending troops to attack Zhao State, but after the entire Zhongshan was captured by Li Bei, Jiang Qu also doubted whether he was a little worried.

However, it seems that today's move to persuade King Yan Mo to send troops to attack Zhao was indeed the right move.

It's a pity that King Yan was dazed by the chestnut belly and didn't take this suggestion.

After sorting out his feelings, Jiang Qu replied: "Now that Li Xiang is dead, the rest of the generals are either killed in battle or captured, and there are no good generals available in the army." ”

"If you want to block the attack of Zhao State, the king must lower his stature and go to ask General Izukuma."

When King Yan heard this, his face became stiff.

According to the current situation, even if King Yan was extremely dissatisfied with Lejian at the beginning, the facts have also proved that Lejian is far-sighted, and King Yan should bow his head at this time.

It's just that every time King Yan thinks that it is precisely because of Lecheng's betrayal that the 200,000 Yan army of Daijun was defeated, he is extremely angry in his heart.

Although Lejian and Lecheng are not brothers, they are also clan brothers.

Lecheng's surrender also made it impossible for King Yan to continue to trust Lejian, but now that Yan Kingdom has no one available except for Lejian, King Yan is a little entangled.

It seems to have seen what King Yan was thinking.

Jiang Qu persuaded: "The minister heard that the reason why General Lecheng rebelled was also because Qing Qin repeatedly refused to accept his loyalty. ”

"And the minister also heard that General Lecheng wrote to the king several times, advising the king to be careful of the traps of the Zhao army, but unfortunately the letters were burned by the king."

"Jun distrust first, the boss suppresses last, General Lecheng must be full of complaints."

When King Yan heard this, his face turned blue and red, but he had nothing to say.

Jiang Qu took the opportunity to persuade again: "Now that it is the time of life and death of Yan Kingdom, please also ask the king to lower his stature, sincerely invite General Lejian to lead the army, and help Yan Guo survive this catastrophe!" ”

King Yan hesitated for a long time, thinking of the current situation of Yan Kingdom, he finally agreed.

Because Lejian had already left Jicheng, and the city was surrounded by Lian Po's army, King Yan couldn't meet Lejian in person, so he had to make a book, so that people risked their lives to go out of the city and ask Lejian for help.

The eastern suburbs of Jicheng.

Le Jian hid in the manor, looking at the letter brought by King Yan in his hand, his face was extremely complicated.

"When the king of Shang was king, Jizi was not appointed, but he still dared to offend the king of Zhou, spoke bluntly, and did not slack off, hoping that the king would listen. Shang Rong was degraded and insulted for advising the king of Shang, but he still hoped that the king of Shang would change his ways. ”

"When the people's hearts were dissolved, the prisoners in the prison fled one after another, and the country was hopeless, the two gentlemen resigned and lived in seclusion."

The king was notorious for his violentness, but the two gentlemen did not lose their reputation for loyalty and nobility. Who? Because of its sorrows. ”

"Although the widow is foolish, it is not as violent as the widow; Although the Yan people are chaotic, they are not as bad as the Yin people. There is a language in the room, not exhaustively, to tell the neighbors. Both, the widow does not take it for the king. ”

"Today, Lian Po commanded the army to besiege Jicheng, and the widow regretted not listening to the general's advice, and implored the general to take Jizi and Shangrong as a model to save the country in danger and save the people from fire and water, and the widow was stunned!"

Rakuma carefully read the letter several times, and finally sighed deeply.

He walked over to the brazier and threw the letter in.

"My father once made such a great contribution to the Yan State and almost destroyed the entire Qi State, but he was suspected of rebellion, and finally had to flee to the Zhao State and die in a foreign land."

"Now the clan brother has defected to Zhao again, and led his troops to break through the 200,000 army under Qing Qin."

"The reason why the king uses me is only because there is no one in the Yan Kingdom at this time, and if I really have to wait until the situation in the Yan Kingdom is stable, I am afraid that I can only follow in my father's footsteps."

"And the Yan Kingdom is defeated like this, and it is no longer able to rise, even if it is a marquis in the Yan Kingdom, what can it do?"

The flames soon engulfed the letters, and the attitude of the music room was already revealed.

Since Le Yi went to Zhao, although Le was still rewarded by King Yan, he was not as trusted as before after all.

Le Jian was named the monarch of Changguo, and it was also because not long after Le Yi ran to Zhao, Yan Guo was defeated by the Tiandan Fire Bull Formation, which was just to stabilize the people's hearts.

After the rebellion of Lecheng, with Lejian's understanding of King Yan, even if he can tolerate himself for a while, he may not be able to tolerate it for a lifetime.

Now that he has understood this, Lejian naturally refuses to continue to stay in Yan Kingdom.

After all, Le's family is inextricably linked with Zhao State, and Lejian's father, Le Yi, once not only served as the prime minister of Zhao State, but was also named the prince of Wang by King Zhao, enjoying the fief and the respect of King Zhao.

Even though Le Yi has passed away, Le is still closely connected with Zhao Guo.

That's why, before the outbreak of the Great War, the Rakuma Society was strongly opposed.

"Come on, prepare the horses!"

Lejian, who had made up his mind, was ready to completely cut off contact with Yan Guo, and immediately took his servants and rushed towards the direction of Zhao Guo's military camp.

Before leaving, Lejian still wrote a letter to King Yan.

In the letter, he explained his determination to run to Zhao.

However, at the end of the letter, Rakuma also mentioned that he would try his best to persuade Lian Po to withdraw his troops and let the two countries truce from now on.

It's just that Lejian didn't have the confidence to be able to convince Lian Po, and finally offered a plan to King Yan, asking him to send an envoy to ask Qin for help.
