The prince of Yan was not convinced, and returned from Qi to fight for the throne. Prince Yan was defeated by Zizhi and fled to the endless mountain. Prince Yan was unwilling to fail and sent an envoy to Qi to ask for help. The rebellion of the Son lasted for several months. Tens of thousands of people were killed and wounded in the Yan Kingdom. The people of Yandi were terrified, and the people were centrifuged.

Qi Wangtian has long coveted Yan Land and the people of Yan Land. The chaos in the Yan Kingdom gave him a justifiable reason. The sins of the king of Qi will be announced to the world. At the same time, he called on the princes of the world to jointly crusade against Yan under the banner of Kuangfu justice.

Qi Wangtian took Kuang Zhang as his general, and raised 100,000 people from Linzi, Gaotang, Pinglu, Jimo and Ju and the north, marched from the Bohai Sea to attack the Yan State. Zhongshan saw that Yan was in turmoil, and Qi also sent troops to fight. Wang Cuo of Zhongshan also wanted to take advantage of the turmoil in Yandi to get a piece of the pie, and with the minister of state Sima Chou as the general, he poured the troops of the whole country to crusade against the unrighteous state of Yan.

In the past, when Yan Henggong was in power, the mountains in the north invaded, and the Yan country migrated to avoid trouble. During the reign of Yanzhuang, Shanjung continued to invade southward. Yan asked Qi for help, and Qi Henggong led a large army to save Yan for thousands of miles under the banner of "respecting the king", which became a good story. Today, in the name of supporting justice, the State of Qi marched into the Kingdom of Yan and won the favor of the people of Yandi. The people of Yandi are in dire straits due to domestic turmoil. The State of Qi came thousands of miles to the Yan State to rectify the discipline and discipline to correct the monarch and ministers. The people of Yandi all eat pot pulp to welcome the teacher.

Qi and Zhongshan sent troops at the same time, and the people of Yandi did not resist, but opened the door to welcome the Qi division. When Prince Yan heard this, he jumped like thunder in front of the ministers in the Yan Palace. On the one hand, the derelict generals were beheaded to set an example. On the other side, heavy troops were dispatched to resist the advance of the two countries.

The Qi general Kuang Zhang won three battles and three victories, defeating the Yan army. Zizhi was unable to launch a large-scale counterattack again, while shrinking his forces and preserving his strength. On the other side, an edict was issued, calling on King Qin. Kuang Zhang is worthy of being a fierce general of the Qi State, and within 50 days, he led the army to arrive in Jicheng, the capital of Yan.

Zizhi stood in the city tower, his eyes staring at the armies of Qi and Zhongshan outside the city, and asked, "When will King Qin's army come?" ”

Ziyu only promised: "Your Majesty, there will be no reinforcements." ”

"What did you say?" Zizhi turned around and glared at him angrily, "The Kingdom of Qi and Zhongshan invaded, and the widow announced the king of Qin in the country. You tell the widow that there is no teacher of the king. ”

"The king's edict has already been issued." Zhiyu replied: "If there is a division of King Qin, why is there no trace of the army to this day. ”

Zizhi's hands were clenched into fists, and his face was extremely ugly.

Lu Maoshou said: "Your Majesty, the princes of Yan and the feudal officials are unwilling to be the king, and one is afraid of the might of the Qi people. Second, they want to reap the benefits. ”

"Hmph." Zizhi snorted heavily and said: "Under the nest, there will be no eggs." ”

Ziyu was also indignant and said: "The king has won, and they are still courtiers." Qi Guo won, they just changed their masters. ”

"Man dies for wealth, and birds die for food. This is the eternal law of the earth. Lu Maoshou also looked at the enemy army under the city and sighed: "The country is in danger, and no one has died for the country." I'm a big Yan country..."

Zizhi understood what Lu Maoshou wanted to express, and said loudly: "The widow is here, and the Yan Kingdom will not die." ”

"Your Majesty." Lu Maoshou arched his hand and said: "Minister, I am willing to fight for the Yan Kingdom and fight for the king." ”

Everyone said in unison: "The same is true of the ministers." ”

"Okay." Zizhi raised his arms and shouted: "Qi people often look down on me Yanren. We want to gather people to see the good means of my big Yan man. ”

"There are 200,000 troops outside the city." Ziyu held back for a long time and continued: "Your Majesty, we might as well surrender." ”

"The widow would rather die in battle than surrender the Qi people. How many Qi people come, how many widows kill. Zizhi waved his sleeves and asked with a solemn face: "Lu Maoshou, there are 200,000 troops outside the city, and there are less than 100,000 defenders in the city. This battle, how should we fight. ”

"The Lord of Qi will be Zhangzi. This person has defeated the Qin army, the Three Jins, is brave and strategic, and is good at using soldiers. The main general of Zhongshan, Sima Chou, has the style of a wise minister and a famous general. Lu Maoshou said sadly: "Your Majesty, we are one against two, this battle is not easy to fight!" ”

"It's not good to fight, but it's going to be fought." Zizhi's eyes ignited a flame, "If the widow defeats the two, it will go down in history and be passed on to future generations." ”

The State of Qi and the State of Zhongshan besieged Jicheng for half a month, but still did not attack.

Sima Chou asked, "General Kuang Zhang, let's just keep surrounding." ”

Kuang Zhang smiled: "General Sima Chou, what do you think?" ”

Sima Chou pointed to Jicheng and said, "There are less than 100,000 defenders in the city. We attacked the city with great force, and in less than three days we could take it in one fell swoop. ”

Kuang Zhang smiled: "General, can you answer my three questions." ”

Sima Chou's expression moved slightly, "General, please speak." ”

Kuang Zhang looked at Jicheng and said lightly: "Jicheng is the capital of Yan Country that has not fallen for hundreds of years, why is this?" Yan and Beihu are adjacent to each other, and the country has survived for 700 years without extinction, why? Prince Yan returned to the country and seized the throne, led 100,000 troops to the city, and was about to win, but he was defeated, why is this? ”

Sima Chou didn't answer, but asked: "The general has such three questions, presumably there must be answers." I'm willing to listen to the general's arguments. ”

Kuang Zhang waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "I can't talk about high theories, but I have a foolish understanding." ”

Sima Chou said: "General, please speak, I will listen to you." ”

"Jicheng is the capital of Yan Kingdom, and it is also the center of Yan Kingdom. The capital of the country is broken, and the country is destroyed. The northern frontier of the Yan Kingdom is the Hu people. The Hu people lack food in winter, or encounter natural and man-made disasters, they will go south to invade the Yan Kingdom. The Yan Kingdom was attacked by the mountains and almost perished. Therefore, the construction of the city must be impregnable. Jicheng has been in Jicheng for hundreds of years, and successive Yanjun has also been constantly strengthened and repaired. Jicheng became the first city in the Yan Kingdom, and it was also the most difficult to attack. Kuang Zhang looked at the city in front of him and sighed: "Yan Land is a bitter cold land. The people of the swallow land can build such a city. ”

Sima Chou said unhappily: "General, we are not here to admire this city. ”

"Hahaha." Kuang Zhangchang said with a smile: "Jicheng has not fallen for hundreds of years, Yan Kingdom has not been destroyed by the Hu people for seven hundred years, and Prince Yan's soldiers came to the city, and the army was finally defeated here." One is that Jicheng is impregnable, with sufficient grain and grass reserves in the city and perfect equipment. Second, although the city can withstand foreign nations in times of danger. However, what is more important is that the soldiers of Yan State bravely defend their home and country. Yan Zhao is bitter and cold, and there are also many tragic people. If it weren't for the rebellion of the son, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and soldiers of the Yan Kingdom would have died, everyone would be terrified, and the people would be centrifuged. We can resist Yandu in less than fifty days. Third, Prince Yan in the city, known as the world-famous general of Yan State, is good at offense and defense. After a small victory, the prince despised the enemy and was defeated. ”

"The terrain of Jicheng is steep, the city is high and the pool is wide, and the defense is also impregnable. The city is well-equipped and has abundant grain and grass reserves. Today, 100,000 troops are stationed, and the king of Yan personally ascends the city to supervise the battle. This battle is indeed not easy to attack. Sima Chou asked, "According to the general, if we attack hard, not only will it be fruitless, but we will also pay a heavy price." King Yan can't defend it, and we can't capture Jicheng in a year. ”

Kuang Zhang said with a smile: "There is no city in the world that cannot be attacked. ”

Sima Chou sneered: "The mountains and rivers are solid, and the treasure of this country is also." The Yan country will not be destroyed for 700 years, which is the danger of mountains and rivers and the spirit of ancestors. ”

"In the past, the three Miao clans left Dongting, the right Peng Li, morality and righteousness are not repaired, and Yu is destroyed; The residence of Xia Wei, the left Heji, the right Taihua, Yique in the south, the sheep intestine in the north, the government is not benevolent, and the soup is released; The country of Yin, the left dragon gate, the right Taihang, Changshan in its north, the big river through its south, the government is not moral, and the king of Wu kills it. From this point of view, there is no danger in Germany. If you don't cultivate virtue, all the people in the boat will be enemies. Kuang Zhang raised his voice and said: "If the country wants to survive forever and pass it on to all generations, it is not in the danger of mountains and rivers, but in the virtue of kings." ”

Sima Chou carefully tasted the deep meaning of this sentence, and arched his hand: "Hearing the general's words, it is like a treasure." General Kuang Zhang, how to break Jicheng. ”

Kuang Zhang returned the salute, "Prince Yan is a minister and has taken the throne, which is a great rebellion." We have come from afar to crusade against the unrighteous state, just to uphold justice and uphold the way of kings and ministers. Today, the perverse actions of the son have led to disasters one after another, resulting in chaos in Yandi, hundreds of thousands of dead, everyone is panicking, and the people are complaining. The son has no virtue, and it cannot be protected in the dangerous mountains and rivers. ”

Sima Chou is a smart person, he understood it at a point, and said with a smile: "General Kuang Zhang is planning to use the family surnamed Ji to make a big fuss. ”

"Exactly." Kuang Zhang nodded, "If the people are not doing well, they will miss the old master." Yan Guo was originally surnamed Ji in the world. If we make a big fuss with the surname Ji, the people of Yandi will hate Zizhi, open the city gate, and welcome our army. ”

"General Kuang Zhang, use the surname Ji to divide the people in the city. That's a good idea. Sima Chou was suspicious: "King Yan is in the city, how can we use it." ”

"The king of Yan is the son of the Zen country, building a high platform, telling the heavens and the earth, mountains and rivers. Many officials and the common people witnessed it with their own eyes. We are not available. Kuang Zhang said with a smile on the corner of his lips: "The Yan Kingdom is in turmoil, and the people are in the water and fire, which is caused by the faintness of the King of Yan. The people of Yan Di will not say that the king of Yan is stupid, but will only transfer the contradiction to Zizhi. The more angry the people of Yandi, the better it is for us. We helped Prince Yan to regain the throne, but the situation was not favorable to Zizhi. ”

Sima Chou asked: "Prince Yan fled to Wujian Mountain, how can we find it." ”

"We are in Jicheng, and Prince Yan knows the news." Kuang Zhang said: "We don't need to look for him, he will come out to find us." ”

While he was speaking, Qi General Tian Pan came forward and said, "Tell the main general, Prince Yan has arrived." ”

Prince Yan arched his hand and said: "The kindness of the two countries is like reconstruction. Ping, thanks to both. ”

"Prince, we're too late to make you suffer." Kuang Zhang's face sank and asked, "What the prince said in the Qi Palace, can you still remember." ”

"Ping, don't dare to forget." Ji Ping said: "Ping to get the throne, to Qi as respect." ”

"I, the Zhongshan Kingdom, also sent troops to help the prince restore the throne." Sima Chou asked, "Prince, what can I get from Zhongshan Kingdom?" ”

"Yan and Zhongshan have been peaceful for generations, and there will never be any trouble in war." Ji Ping said sincerely: "Please help me." ”

Kuang Zhang and Sima Chou exchanged a look, reached an agreement, and said in unison: "I am willing to serve the prince." ”

Ji Ping solemnly performed a national salute, and said with a straight face: "Ping, thank you two." ”

Kuang Zhang arched his hand and said: "If you want to capture Jicheng, please also ask the prince to help me wait." ”

"Command, General."

After a while, the war drums thundered, and Qi and Zhongshan lined up to prepare for the siege. Prince Yan held a long sword in his hand and personally supervised the battle. Zizhi, Ziyu, Lu Maoshou and others went to the city to look. The combined forces of Qi and Zhongshan spread all over the mountains and fields, with no end in sight. Everyone took a breath of cold air, knowing that this battle was a life-and-death battle. Suddenly, the drums of war stopped, and one man walked at the front of the coalition forces.

After Ziyu saw the man's face clearly, he was shocked and said, "The king is the anti-thief Ji Ping." ”

Lu Maoshou was shocked into a cold sweat, "The enemy is so cunning, let Ji Ping come to talk about the generals and divide the hearts of our army." ”

"Anti-thief, come and die." Zizhi snatched a big bow, pulled a full moon, and shot it with a whoosh.

Ji Ping swung his sword, swept away the arrows he shot, and said, "Soldiers, I'm back." The son persecuted my king's Zen throne and messed up the way of the ministers. The perverse actions of the son led to turmoil in our country and tens of thousands of deaths. Today, the soldiers of Qi and Zhongshan are pressing the border, in order to support the right path and re-establish the discipline of the monarch and the minister. It is also to help us get out of this precarious life. My soldiers of the Great Yan Kingdom, pick up the long sword in your hand and kill the thief. Avenge your dead loved ones. ”

Ji Ping raised his voice and said: "Everyone who is a rebel and a thief will be punished." ”

"Rebels and thieves are punished for everyone." The soldiers of Qi and Zhongshan also shouted in unison.

Sima Chou smiled and said, "General Kuang Zhang, this is your plan. ”

"Attack the city for the bottom, attack the heart for the top." Kuang Zhang stared at the scene in front of him and said coldly: "Our 200,000 strong army pressed the border and surrounded Jicheng for half a moon. The morale of the Yan army has long been disintegrated by our huge momentum. The Yan people refused to surrender, one was afraid of the obscenity of the son. The second is to worry about their fate after surrendering. The return of Prince Yan has made the Yan people see life, and the Yan country can be broken. ”

"It's a good sentence to attack the city for the bottom, and the heart for the top." Sima Chou broke out in a cold sweat behind his back. Fortunately, Qi and Zhongshan are friends. If it is an enemy, Zhongshan is in danger.

"Kill the thief, in the way of the right monarch and minister." Kuang Zhang pulled out his long sword, raised his arms and shouted: "The soldiers of the three armies listen to the order and attack the city." ”

The coalition forces poured into Jicheng like a tidal wave. Seeing that the coalition army was attacking, Zizhi drew his sword and shouted: "The whole army obeys the order, defends the national capital, and kills the invading enemy." ”

Ji Bian, the guard of the Yan Kingdom, came in a hurry and cried: "Your Majesty, the enemy has broken through the east gate. ”

Zizhi said angrily: "Where is General Ziyu?" ”

"General Ziyu died fighting for the country." Ji Bian said: "The east gate can't be guarded. Flee, Your Majesty! It's too late if you don't escape. ”

Zizhi said angrily: "The city is here, and the people are there; The city is dead, the people are dead. ”
