Chapter 70: The Destruction of the Yan Kingdom

Ju Wu looked at the letter in his hand repeatedly, a letter of guarantee to be exact. www.biquge.info As the teacher of Prince Dan, Ju Wu definitely knew the Qin script. He hadn't seen Wang Qian's handwriting, but there was no doubt that it was written in Qin script on this brown letterhead. As far as Yuanji's straw bale, he can't write such a Qin script.

There is no problem with the paper, this kraft paper is produced in Pingliang. On weekdays, it was only supplied to the Qin army and the official documents of the Qin court, and it was categorically difficult for other vassal states to obtain. Although the letter from the Marquis of Wu Cheng is a little vague, this is a common problem with paper. When the ink is not dry, it will look like this.

"Gou Shan will not descend, for the sake of the people in Yanjing City. The old man can only be sorry for him and the more than 10,000 new troops under him, and there will be three watches tonight. I will send for the drawbridge to be lowered and the gates to be opened. And light three bonfires at the head of the city, and you can lead the Qin army into the city. If there is no resistance, do not kill innocents indiscriminately! Ju Wu tried Gou Shan's meaning, but this stubborn guy still didn't agree to surrender. According to him, even if he dies, he has to pull a few Qin soldiers on his back.

Ju Wu had no choice, in fact, Wang Jian and Ben didn't have to attack the city like a few days ago. Just wait until Yan Wangxi surrenders, and let Yan Wangxi stand under the city and shout twice. I'm afraid that the morale in the city will be extremely low, if Wang Jian is willing to wait a little longer. When the food in the city runs out, what awaits the people of Yanjing is just death.

Gou Shan died and could fight for the reputation of a loyal minister, but how innocent are the people of Yanjing? Do you have to sacrifice tens of thousands of lives for the sake of Gou Shan's reputation?

"My Lord Taifu, what is the falsity of the general's letter here? I, Yuanji, deceive the heavens and the earth, and I dare to make fun of this matter. As long as you open the city gate tonight, it is impossible for the army to enter the city, but it is not impossible to kill innocents, which is what the general promised. Yuan Ji said with a sincere face.

Yuan Ji entered the palace of Yan Wang at the age of four, and now he is over forty years old. After forty years of ups and downs, he can be described as a successful person. When he deceives people with extreme sincerity, the scheming Ju Wu will also be fooled. The reason is simple, Motoyoshi even deceived himself.

After agreeing on a series of matters such as the connector code and the code of conduct. Yuan Ji once again sat on the huge basket and went down the city wall, and at this time, Gou Shan had already led his generals to build a spiritual shed for Prince Dan. He also took out a few old clothes from the palace, which were said to be worn by Prince Dan, and put them in a coffin to pay respects.

Regarding Yuanji's back and forth, Gou Shan, who was full of sorrow, adopted a laissez-faire attitude and ignored Ben. In his opinion, the scurrying of an inner servant is just a big wave.

As the teacher of Prince Dan, he always has to go to the sacrificial tent to pay respects. Ju Wu walked into the sacrificial tent, and after giving the salute, he said to Gou Shan, who was immersed in great grief on the side: "General Gou, the soldiers of the new army have been fighting on the city wall for more than half a month. Now that the Qin army's offensive has weakened, it is better to let the brothers withdraw and recuperate. At this night, the city defense was carried out by the people first. During the day, the new army will come to change the guard again, what do you think? ”

Gou Shan looked at the bearded and tired soldiers of the New Army, and he could take turns to rest when he was fully manpower in the first few days. However, as the casualties increased, the rest period gradually became shorter and shorter. So much so that now, there is no such thing as a rotation with Ben. Seeing that the men who are alive and vigorous are now withered, Gou Shan's heart is like a needle prick.

"It's rare for Lord Taifu to have this kind of heart, so I rely on Master Taifu. After dark, our men withdrew and rested, and after dawn let the brothers go up to the top. For such a humane arrangement of Ju Wu, Gou Shan expressed his gratitude.

"Looks like a nice old man!" After sending Ju Wu out, looking at Ju Wu's back, Gou Shan muttered to himself.

"General, do you think this will be a trap?" Sending Yuan Ji away, Yang Duanhe asked with some anxiety.

"God knows! But this is indeed an opportunity, as long as the city gate is opened and there is no protection from the city wall, will our Great Qin Tiger Ben be afraid of this group of Yan people? It is said that the new army of the Yan people is only about 30,000 people, and Motoyoshi said that the offensive these days has caused them to lose more than half. I don't think he's lying, after all, our army has suffered more than twice as many casualties.

As long as the city gate is opened, more than 10,000 people want to play tricks with us, are they worthy? Wang Qian's words were full of domineering. The Yan army of more than 10,000 people, if there is no city wall to hinder it. has long been a ghost under the sword of the Qin army, can they still be allowed to support it for such a long time?

Tonight, Yang Duanhe is the vanguard of the front. He will lead 20,000 soldiers and horses and rush directly into Yanjing City. What is not to kill innocents indiscriminately, and it is not allowed to set up for plunder. None of this exists in the dictionary of the Qin people, and "breaking every person" is the solution that Wang Jian personally said. The people in Yanjing City don't know yet that a catastrophe is quietly approaching. Now, six hours before the start of the Holocaust.

"Ignition!" Looking at the three piles of firewood and grass in front of him, Ju Wu gave the order to light a fire. What he didn't know was that when these two words were spoken, a brutal killing would be irreversible.

The bonfire was immediately lit, and almost at the same time the drawbridge, which had been pulled up for more than half a month, was lowered. The closed city gate "creaked" open, like a giant beast's big mouth black hole in front of Qin Jun.

Yang Duanhe gave an order, and the cavalry of the Qin army rushed into Yanjing City like a tide. The Yan army guarding the cave of the city gate tied a white cloth on their heads as promised to show that they had surrendered. Unexpectedly, the cavalry of the Qin army who rushed in had no nonsense. Everywhere the steel knife passed, the heads of people with white scarves flew high. When the heads fell to the ground, the war horses of the Qin army had already rushed to the streets of Yanjing City.

When the first fire in the city was raised, Ju Wu thought it was just an accident in the chaos. When the fires burned everywhere, and the city cried and screamed endlessly. He didn't know what was going on, and he still carried the "Wang Jian Handwritten Letter" in his arms. Ju Wu closed Yanjing in pain, and tore the handwritten letter to pieces with both hands.

"Yuanji, even if the old man goes to the Netherworld, he will definitely not let you go!" Ju Wu roared angrily and jumped from the city wall. The city wall more than ten zhang high, people fell from it, obviously not alive.

According to the history books, Wang Jian broke the thistle and killed it for ten days! A bustling northern capital has been completely reduced to a ghost chirping!

In 222 BC, Yan Wangxi was captured alive by Wang Jian and taken to Xianyang. On the way, he died of hunger and thirst! The inner servant Yuanji, because of the private engraving of the letter of the Marquis of Wucheng Wang Jian. was torn apart by a car under Yanjing City, and since then the Yan Kingdom has been destroyed!
