Chapter 66: The Siege

Yan Dan was imprisoned, Yan Yi took over the military power, but Yan Yi and Yan Dan have the same opinion, Yan Yi knew that if he fought with the Qin army outside the city, the Yan army would definitely suffer heavy losses and could not eat anything cheap, so all the troops outside the city of Jidu retreated into the city, and at the same time, the Zhao army that returned north on behalf of Wang Jia also sent a part into the city, while the other part stayed outside the city and tried to harass the Qin army, and all the land outside the capital fell into the hands of the Qin army, and Jidu became a lonely city.

"In my opinion, the main offensive force of our army should be placed at the south gate, and a small number of troops should be arranged at the north gate, east gate and west gate to feint and disperse the guards of Jicheng."

In the big tent of the Qin army, several senior generals in the Qin army were gathered on a huge demonstration sand table, discussing what fiercely?

Meng Tian looked at the generals under him arguing, and looked at Wang Ben, who was sitting quietly, "What does General Wang think?" ”

Wang Ben stood up and said, "General Song's arrangement just now is excellent, but I think there should be something missing?"

"What's missing?"

"In my opinion, it's better to remove all the troops at the North Gate!" Wang Ben pulled out the banner of the Qin army outside the north gate.

"You're talking about the strategy of missing one!"

"Not bad! Although the Yan army is tired now, it is only a matter of time before our army breaks through the Ji capital and destroys the Yan country, but there are at least 50,000 horses in the Ji capital city, which is not counting the people that the Yan country can organize, our army will definitely suffer heavy casualties if it wants to capture such a city, and although the strategy of encircling three and missing one is old-fashioned, it can effectively disintegrate the momentum of the Yan army, and it will be much easier for our army to attack! ”

"That's great!"

"General! There is an envoy from the Yan Kingdom outside who wants to see you! ”

Envoy of Yan Kingdom! Meng Tian said lightly, but there was hatred in his eyes, last time it was because of the assassination disguised as the envoy assassin of Yan Guo that he was seriously injured, which caused the original plan to march to be blocked, and he really didn't have a good impression of Yan Guo.

"How many are there?"

"Only one person!"

"One person!" Meng Tian was amazed.

"What tricks do these swallows want to play?"

A dissatisfied Qin army general shouted.

"Then the generals will go down and prepare!"

After a while, only Meng Tian and Wang Ben were left in the entire camp.

"Bring him in!"

As Meng Tian's words fell, a man of medium stature and dressed in dark civilian clothes came to the two of them.

"Under Xia, Li Pinnai is the envoy of the Yan Kingdom, and he is also the staff of General Yan Yi!"

Li Pin handed over the wooden box in his hand.

Meng Tian opened the wooden box, only to see two pieces of crystal clear jade lying quietly in the wooden box! Meng Tian closed the box, looked at Li Pin and said, "What do you mean?" ”

"Last time the general was injured! My general is deeply sorry for this, and specially presented a pair of beautiful jade, which is worth a thousand gold that my general found in the East China Sea!"

Meng Tian ordered his subordinates to take down the wooden box, and then looked at the person in front of him carefully and said slowly: "I think your general's efforts to send you here are not just as simple as making amends!" ”

Li Pin arched his hand, "Although I am the envoy of Yan State, I am the general's personal staff!" It doesn't mean Prince Dan! ”

Private Prince Dan

Listening to these words, Meng Tian and Wang Ben glanced at each other, as if they had thought of something, their faces were happy, Meng Tian pressed the joy in his chest and asked quietly: "What do you mean?" ”

"Don't hide it from the general! My general intends to surrender to Great Qin, but I don't know what benefits my general can get! ”

Finally confirmed this matter, even Meng Tian was shocked,

"If General Yan Yi surrenders to our dynasty, I swear by the ancestors of the Meng family that I will guarantee the safety of General Yan Yi, and when he captures Jidu one day, it is not impossible to retain the title, and even get His Majesty's reward, I think it is more important for the general of my Qin State and the general of Yan State, I don't need to say in detail here, but I still have one condition?"

"On what terms?"

"I want Prince Dan's head!"

Li Pin was a little embarrassed, "this"

Meng Tian smiled and said, "Why doesn't General Yan agree?" ”

Li Channel: "This matter is very important, and I still need to go back and discuss it with the general and the king!" ”

"Of course I know you can't call the shots, but you should know we can't wait that long!"

Li Pinlian claimed to be! He bowed and retired, and stumbled as he walked to the tent and almost fell.

Looking at Li Pin's back, Wang Ben looked at Meng Tian suspiciously, "General Meng really thinks that Yan Wangxi can kill his own son and then surrender!" ”

Meng Tian paused and said: "Whether Yan Wangxi is sincere or false, if we want to capture Jidu City, we will also have to pay a heavy price, and a few days ago, Luo Wang assassinated a number of court officials and generals in Jidu City one after another, Yan Dan was imprisoned Yan Wangxi has no ambitions, and now the dragons in Yan Kingdom have no leader, and they can no longer hold on." ”

"It's just that Yan Dan is willing to be killed like this!"

"Then you have to consider Yan Wangxi's guts."

……

……

It was late at night, but the palace of King Yan was brightly lit at this time.

Yan Wangxi was dressed in bright yellow civilian clothes, his face was pale, his eyes were deep-set, even the original neatly combed found that it was messy at this time, everything showed his exhaustion and sickness, even the originally inconspicuous white hair, this time seemed to all come out, and the countless eunuchs and palace maids serving beside him were also careful for fear that one would accidentally provoke the emperor's anger.

Yan Wangxi's favorite concubine, Concubine Ning, was also not by his side, and nothing could mention his interest anymore, his eyes were full of death, and he had never been able to dissipate since the siege of the Qin army.

With the sound of banging, the heavy palace door was opened, and the only stitch reflected the light of the sky, and then it was swallowed up by the night, and a bright color appeared in Yan Wangxi's eyes full of dead silence.

Yan Yi, who was dressed in armor, walked quickly.

"The ministers feast and meet the king!"

"Aiqing, please get up!" Yan Wangxi asked eagerly, "How is that matter!" There was a hint of eagerness and hope in his tone.

Yan Yi looked around.

Yan Wang Xi understood, "You guys retreat first!" ”

And all the servants of the temple withdrew.

Looking at Yan Wangxi's tired appearance at this time, a sneer flashed in Yan Yi's eyes, and then quickly disappeared, and said in a low voice: "The Qin State has agreed, as long as we give up resistance and surrender all the land in Kaesong, the Qin army will guarantee our safety." ”

Listening to these words, Yan Wangxi did not change anything, because these things had long been expected, and those who had been conquered by other countries throughout the ages and surrendered were probably like this, but the next words were completely unexpected.

"And the head of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

What the?

Yan Wangxi heard this as if it had crashed straight into his heart, and he sat back on the throne in a gloomy manner.

Yan Yi looked at these things in his eyes, "The situation is urgent, and I hope that the king will make a decision as soon as possible." ”

Although Yan Dan is his favorite son, he is old after all, and he has long lost the sharpness of his youth, and the fear of death finally overcame family affection.

Then he nodded, as if he had exhausted all his strength.
