Easy water, rushing endlessly.

In history, Jing Ke assassinated the King of Qin, and it was here that Prince Dan of Yan was fed for him.

Before parting, Gao gradually left the building, Jing Ke and sang and said: The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return; Explore the tiger's den and enter the Jiao Palace, look up to the sky and exhale into a white rainbow.

"Yishui Song" has been sung for thousands of years.

This incident has not happened yet, but Prince Yan, one of the protagonists, has already appeared in this place.

Prince Dan, who was only sixteen years old, stood on the north bank of Yishui, looking at the Zhao Guojing banners all over the south bank, his eyes were full of humiliation and hatred.

This time, the alliance of Qin and Zhao attacked Yan, and Zhao took Li Mu as the general and sent 100,000 troops to attack Yan.

Coupled with the 20,000 Qin troops commanded by the Qin general Jing Ji, the number of troops attacking Yan this time was as high as 120,000, and it was difficult for the Yan State, which had been repeatedly defeated and had suffered a great loss of national strength, to stop the combined forces of Qin and Zhao.

At first, Yan Guo also planned to defend the city.

In order to boost morale, King Yan even let Prince Dan come to the front line in person, and even Cai Ze, who was very important to King Yan, was also sent to Prince Dan's side.

In the land of Yan Zhao, there are many generous and sad people.

Even if the Yan Kingdom is weak and has been defeated repeatedly, there is no shortage of passionate warriors in the country, and Prince Dan is one of them.

It's a pity that Prince Dan is only sixteen years old, and both mentally and physically, he is far from being fully grown.

He repeatedly braved the arrows and stones, climbed the city wall to kill the enemy with the soldiers, and by the way, he also wanted to boost morale with his own identity.

However, Prince Dan always does bad things with good intentions, and several Yan Guoxiao generals were killed by arrows because they protected him on the battlefield.

The most important thing is.

It was precisely because of the appearance of Prince Dan that Li Muke took the opportunity to capture the ten cities of Yan Kingdom in a short period of time.

What do you say?

It turned out that if the Yan State held the city and defended every inch of land, even if it could not stop the Qin and Zhao coalition forces, it would greatly delay the speed of Li Mu's march.

It's a pity that after Li Mu learned that the prince of Yan Guo was on the front line, he didn't fight steadily and step by step.

On the contrary, he directly bypassed several Yan Kingdom cities, besieged Gecheng, where Prince Dan was located, and also released a rumor, and on the day the city was broken, he beheaded the flag of the Prince of Yan Kingdom.

After the news spread, the Yan army, which had been sticking to various cities, could no longer continue to calm down, and sent soldiers and horses in the city to rescue Katsuragi.

I never thought that the rescue of the cities was in Li Mu's arms.

Li Mu used the strategy of encircling the points to send reinforcements, eliminating the vast majority of the Yan troops who came to reinforce the Yan army, and then took advantage of the situation to capture those cities that were empty of troops after sending troops.

So much so that in less than a month, Li Mu had already captured ten cities.

The entire south of the land of the governor and west of the Great Wall, except for Gecheng, which was heavily guarded, was all acquired by the Zhao State.

In this battle, Li Mu's imaginative command art was brought into full play.

After capturing the territory of Yan to the west of the Great Wall, the fertile soil of Yan that penetrated into the hinterland of Zhao has been replaced by the banner of Zhao.

At this time, only Gecheng was gathered tens of thousands of Yan troops because of the existence of Prince Dan, and there were wise people like Cai Ze, which was difficult for Li Mu to conquer in a short time.

If Li Mu can't capture Gecheng, even if he occupies the rest of the Yan Kingdom cities, it can't be regarded as truly capturing this anointed land.

In fact, with the walls and defenders of Katsurag, it was extremely difficult for Li Mu to storm it.

However, if Li Mu, the future god of war-level figure, made up his mind to take Gecheng, with the current Yan Kingdom, no one would be able to stop him.

As for how to take Katsuragi, Li Mu once again showed his elegant art of war.

In the face of the difficult bone of Katsuragi, Li Mu did not choose to attack, but sent people to stop the flow of water in the upper reaches of Koushui with great fanfare, and released the wind to flood Katzuchi.

Katsuragi, located on the banks of the Koushui River, is not low.

If Li Mu insists on flooding Gecheng, two or three of the cities occupied by the Zhao army will also suffer from the pond fish, and the occupied area of the Zhao State will be thousands of miles away, and the people will inevitably hate the Zhao State and Li Mu.

Many Yan generals believed that this must have been Li Mu's bluff ploy to force the Yan army to abandon Gecheng.

Even Cai Ze has this idea.

Time passed slowly, and Li Mu continued to send troops to intercept and store water in the upper reaches of Koushui, and occupied higher mountains, and also let the soldiers build many rafts.

Not only that, but for the three cities that might be affected, Li Mu also sent people to relocate the people in the city.

All these things show Li Mu's determination to flood Katzuki.

If Prince Dan was not in Katō, the Yan army might still have the mentality of burning jade and stones, and fight against the water in Katō.

However, Prince Dan is here, and even the toughest generals of Yan State do not dare to risk the life of the future monarch of Yan State to gamble on Li Mu's determination to flood Gecheng.

As a last resort, the Yan army had to abandon the city and leave.

In this way, Li Mubing took the difficult bone of Gecheng without blood, and included all the vast anointed land west of the Great Wall.

With the loss of these ten cities, all the land between the rivers was acquired by the Zhao State, and the Yan State also lost the richest piece of land.

"The army is already deployed in Yicheng, so Gongzi should retreat to the city with us."

Cai Ze looked at Prince Yan with a gloomy face, sighed slightly in his heart, and then exhorted.

"Sir, if I weren't in Katsuragi, wouldn't Yan Kingdom have lost so many cities?"

Prince Dan tilted his head, and his slightly immature face showed an inquiring look.

Cai Ze was silent for a long time, and finally sighed: "Qin and Zhao Guoli are both above Yan State, and Zong Gongzi is not in Gecheng, and these cities will be conquered by Li Mu sooner or later." ”

When Prince Dan heard this, he seemed to feel a little relieved.

Then, he asked with a worried face: "Then dare to ask sir, how can Yan Guo survive this catastrophe?" ”

As a bigwig who once served as Xiangguo in Qin, Cai Ze has a very high weight in Prince Dan's heart, and Prince Dan also hopes to get the answer he wants from Cai Ze's mouth.

Cai Ze pondered for a long time and said, "Qin and Zhao Guoli are both above Yan Guo. ”

"If you want to save the Yan Kingdom, you must first separate the alliance of Qin and Zhao, and then ally one country and attack the other, so that you can not only protect the Yan Kingdom, but also potentially benefit from it."

Prince Dan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked, "Sir, is it the alliance Qin attacking Zhao?" ”

Cai Ze shook his head.

Prince Dan said excitedly: "Qin's national strength is the best in the world, if he can form an alliance with Yan, Zhao will not dare to attack." ”

"It's just that Zhao is strong, how can Qin abandon Zhao and ally with weak Yan?"

Cai Ze pointed to the vast territory on the west bank of Yishui and said, "With Yan's national strength, can you recapture those Hejian cities occupied by Li Mu alone?" ”

Prince Dan was silent for a long time and shook his head.

"That being the case, if the Yan State surrenders these ten cities in Hejian that have been occupied by the Zhao State to the Qin State, will the Qin State turn its back on Zhao and turn to the Yan State?"

"Those cities have been occupied by the Zhao State, what ability do we have to dedicate to the Qin State?"

Prince Dan had a puzzled look on his face.

Cai Ze said with a smile: "Although the city is occupied by the Zhao State, it is still nominally owned by the Yan State, if it is dedicated to the Qin State, how dare Zhao not let it out of the city?" ”
