Chapter 33: Yan Kingdom

The three brothers of the Jin family finished speaking

Next, let's talk about the story of Yan Kingdom

Yan Guo

It was one of the oldest vassal states of the Zhou Dynasty

Due to its location in the north

He rarely interacted with his brothers and sisters in the Central Plains

It is also often attacked by border ethnic minorities

Spring and Autumn period

The country of Yan was almost wiped out by Shanrong

Fortunately, Qi Huan's righteousness is thin and cloudy

Thousands of miles away rescued Yan Kingdom

The Yan Kingdom of the years after that

Once expanded

Once evaded

I was beaten in tears

Also ever

Trying to integrate into the Central Plains and change the revolution

These are unremarkable

The occasional turbulent life has passed for a long time

Until the appearance of that wonderful monarch

321 BC

King Yan Yi died

On his deathbed, he called the prince to his bedside

Son

My life

The biggest regret is

There are too many dreams

I woke up too early

Daddy is going to die

I'll leave you one more thing than the throne

It's my dream

can be a Ming Jun like Yao Shun

After speaking, he followed Yao Shun and left

The crown prince succeeded to the throne

It's Yan Wang

Yan Wang is a filial son

He has always carried on to his father's legacy

Be a sage monarch

Yan Wang was too anxious

Gradually, he discovered that he was not material for being a sage

He's not even as good as Daddy

Daddy still has his own dreams

He could only think about his father's dreams

Since you can't be a sage

Then do what the sages did

Xiang Guozizhi appeared in Yan Wang's planning

Yan Wang Xu discussed with his henchmen

I want to give up the throne to Zizhi

What do you think

The king thinks it's good

That's good

But what I thought to myself

I want the prince to inherit my country

Zen was given to Zizhi

What should Tai Ziping do?

The king was overwhelmed

At that time, Dayu gave up the throne to Boyi

But the ministers of the DPRK and China are all Xia Qi's people

A hundred years after Dayu

Or Xia Qi inherited the country

Good idea

He has done the things of the sages

and can save the family's country

The king of Yan took the power of the country

It was handed over to Xiangguo Zizhi

Zizhi justifiably governed the Yan Kingdom

Taste the son of absolute power

I like my current character more and more

He removed the ministers he didn't like

Put your cronies in the government and the opposition

in time

The crown prince is not to mention status

Lives are at stake

was originally confused by my dad like this

That's enough to worry about

Now my life is at stake

Prince Ping couldn't bear it anymore

He decided to go to the country of Qi to borrow troops

Completely correct Daddy's mistakes

Going to the State of Qi to borrow troops is a good way to save one's throne

But Prince Ping still stopped the car sensibly

He also knows

The State of Qi has been coveting the land of the Yan State in recent years

If you go to ask Qi to send troops

Didn't you lure the wolf into the house?

No way

I'd better think of a way to do it from home first

At that time, there was still opposition to Zizhi within the Yan Kingdom

Shogun City is one of them

The city was hit off with Prince Ping

The two gathered some opposition forces within the Yan Kingdom

Attack the Son

At this time, Zizhi had already controlled the army of Yan State

His position is not something that Prince Pinghe City can shake

Although the energy is involved in miscellaneous things

Still defeated Prince Taiping's assault team

The second year

Zizhi finished handling the internal affairs

Free up your hands to deal with the prince and the city

Easily crush the squad

The city was killed in battle

The prince took a look

It's hopeless

You can't compete with the son by relying on internal strength

Lead the wolf, lead the wolf

asked Qi for help

The army of the State of Qi had long been prepared

Wait until Prince Ping's distress letter arrives

Immediately send troops to the Yan Kingdom

Zizhi's army is strong in front of the assault squad

In front of the more powerful Qi army

It's a lot smaller

After a fierce battle

Zizhi was killed

The confused Yan Wang Xu also lost his head in a daze

Yan Kingdom temporarily fell into the hands of Prince Taiping

But

And only nominal

Qi Jun finished helping

set up camp in the country of Yan

In the name of maintaining the peace of the Yan Kingdom

I was permanent

They do whatever they want in the Yan Kingdom

became the emperor of Yan State

Prince Ping also became a puppet

There is simply no ability to control the Qi army

At this time, King Zhao Wuling made a move

Ushered in a son-in-law job from South Korea

If the country of Qi is a wolf

That King Zhao Wuling is the old fox

After giving the son a great favor

did not send troops to attack the Qi army stationed in Yan

It's to give an idea to the son's job

asked him to go to Qin for help

The internationalist warrior Qin sent troops

At this time, the people and the army of Yan were tired of the Qi army

For the attack of the Qin State

They basically didn't help the Qi army much

It didn't take much effort

The Qin army sent the prince to the throne of the Yan State

Gongzi became the monarch of Yan State

It is King Yan Zhao

At this time, the Yan Kingdom had gone through many years of civil war

There is also the plundering of the Qi country

It's already riddled with holes

Someone who is seriously ill

King Yan Zhao was a very aspiring monarch

He made up his mind

It is necessary to regroup

Revitalize the country of Yan

If you want to rejuvenate the country

Talent is needed

King Yan Zhao also wanted to learn from Wei Wenhou

Recruit talents from all over the world

But I can't find a clue for a while

I don't know where to start

Someone under his command gave King Yan Zhao an idea

Saying goes

An old ox makes a straight furrow

Your Majesty, why don't you discuss with the old minister Guo Kui

Let him give you an idea

A few days later

Guo Kui came to King Yan Zhao

It turned out to be a walker

An old man with gray hair

King Yan Zhao comforted himself in his heart

Don't be in a hurry

This is another hundred miles

old gentleman

Don't be scruples

Jiang Taigong was eighty at the time

Guo Kui waved his hand

Don't say anything about it, the king

I'm self-aware

I'm here today

The main thing is to tell a story to the king

Guo Kui took a sip of water

Cleared his throat

Once upon a time

There is a king

He was particularly fond of horses

Just hear about where there are good horses

Do everything possible to buy it back

But luck is always bad

It's not that someone else bought it

It is to buy back defective products

The monarch was not discouraged

Keep buying

Once

He had heard that there were good horses for sale somewhere

So he sent his men for a thousand gold to buy it

The monarch spent days in anticipation

The men are back

Carrying a bag of horse bones on his shoulder

The monarch was furious

Where are the horses

king

The horse fell ill and died

This is the bone of that horse

yes

bone

What do you do with other people's bones?

king

It's not taken

This was bought back by his subordinates for 500 gold

The king was furious

The horse died

You didn't buy it back

I don't blame you

But you're squandering my money so much

Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?

The king was angry

In the past, the king always bought horses everywhere

But where will the world's famous horses be publicized everywhere

Today I bought the bones of a horse for five hundred gold in the name of the king

This story is bound to be spread all over the world

Everyone knows that there is a horse like life

You just wait for the good horse to take the initiative to deliver it to your door

The monarch felt that it made sense

But it is also doubtful

A few months later

Horses from all over the country are coming

The monarch never bothered to buy a horse again

Guo Kui's story is over

king

If you don't dislike it

Let's just use the old minister as that horse bone

King Yan Zhao suddenly realized

It turns out that recruiting talents can still be recruited like this

The next day

King Yan Zhao officially worshiped Guo Kui as his teacher

It's also near the pedestrian street in the city center

Build a place for Mr. Guo

A big house with two in and two out

I greet him every morning and evening

Consult on state affairs

The news soon spread out of the palace gates

It spread all over the land of Yan

It was spread to the land of China

People who have the ability to do it in various countries

They have come to take refuge

One of the most representative

It's called Le Yi

Le Yi

It is after the famous general Le Yang of the Wei State

Outstanding in learning

Proficient in the art of war

He also has a lot of research on the way to govern the country

Once, Le Yi sent an envoy to the Yan State for the Wei State

Between conversations

King Yan Zhao found that this was a talent

is very respectful to Le Yi

From time to time, it is revealed that the meaning of digging the foot of the wall is revealed

Le Yi is a smart man

I also knew for a long time that King Yan Zhao was thirsty for talent

And as far as he knew

Yan Guo really lacks such a talent as him

One is sentient

One is righteous

A vacancy is waiting

A belly full of talent

The two hit it off

Le Yi stayed in Yan Kingdom

King Yan Zhao does not suspect that people are not suspicious

Appointed Le Yi as Yaqing

Follow the example of Li Kui's reform

In the Yan country, a vigorous reform was carried out

It has experienced early turmoil

The Yan traitor and the governance of the Emperor of Qi

The atmosphere of the entire Yan State officialdom is very poor

Misuse of authority

Ignoring the law

The abuse of power for personal gain has become the norm

Le Yi addresses these situations

First of all

The law was reorganized

Mistakes made before

forgive somebody's past misdeeds

From now on

Everyone has to follow the new rules strictly

Violators will be severely punished

Strengthen the supervision of officials

Set up a central patrol team

Deter the entire Yan officialdom

Implement performance appraisal

Evaluate the performance of officials

Fittest

Rely on grades to speak

secondly

Determine a new talent selection system

Competence on the job

No nepotism

Appointeeism

Elect a group of officials with both ability and political integrity

So that the officialdom of Yan State is becoming clearer and clearer

third

Nationwide

A group of moral model pacesetters were selected

Praise truth, goodness and beauty

Criticize the false and ugly

Let the people of Yanguo understand honor and disgrace

Shame

The social order was stabilized

It has stabilized the people's minds

fourth

Vigorously develop the cause of national defense

Intensify army building

Improve the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Yan Kingdom

At last

King Yan Zhao often expressed condolences to the families of military martyrs

Visiting the elderly who are lonely and widowed

In the event of a funeral, comfort is soothed

When I have a child, I send someone to congratulate him

It has won the users and support of the people of the whole country

That's it

Under Le Yi's change

The rule of officials was rectified

It stabilized the people's hearts

Strengthened national defense

Strengthened the country

After twenty-eight years of hard work

The face of Yan Kingdom has been completely renewed

The ability is great

First things first

Revenge, of course

The goal is Qi country

The country of Qi back then

Take advantage of the civil strife in Yan

Raise troops into the country

Ruthless colonization of the Yan Kingdom

Plundering the supplies of the Yan Kingdom

Oppress the people of Yan Kingdom

Let the people of Yanguo have no hope in their lives

The whole country is at stake

now

The people of Yan Kingdom stood up

The hearts of the people of Yan Kingdom are united

The people of Yan have become stronger

The people of Yan are going to take revenge

Qi State at this time

It's already strong to the top

But the hegemonic way of thinking has been perpetuating

Constant use of foreign troops

Forcibly interfering in the affairs of other countries

Taxes are constantly being increased internally

The common people are already complaining

In such an environment

King Yan Zhao decided to use troops against the country

He appointed Le Yi as the presidential marshal of the Yan Army

Take full responsibility for all matters related to the harvesting

Le Yi carefully analyzed the situation

At present, the strength of the Qi State is still above the Yan State

Yan Guo wants to win

Allies are needed

Mobilize the world's troops to discuss it

Qi Guo has indeed been a little overly proud in recent years

Constantly fighting against other countries

Le Yi took advantage of this opportunity

United Qin, Zhao, Wei, Han

The formation of the Five-Nation Alliance

Troops are sent to the country

284 BC

Le Yi commanded the forces of the Five Nations

Mighty

Kill the Qi country

King Qi never thought of it

It's a big gathering

The enemy has come together to take revenge

Hurry up and gather the soldiers and horses of the Qi country

Set up a position on the west side of Jishui

Take on the coalition forces

One is that the coalition is too fierce

Second, Le Yi uses soldiers like gods

Three ......

Actually, there is not so much nonsense

The Qi army was defeated

King Qi fled back to Linzi

Qin, Zhao, Wei, and Han Siguo took a look

The huddle was successful

Let's stabilize the fruits of victory first

Each occupies several cities

Take profit

Prepared for more than twenty years

Le Yi will not be satisfied with such a little achievement

He led the Yan army to pursue the victory

All the way to the village

Fight all the way to the city of Linzi

The Yan army hit Linzi fiercely

King Qi saw that the situation was not good

Abandoned Linzi City

Fled to Jucheng

Killed

Le Yi is very satisfied with the current results

But

He raised his expectations again

To swallow the entire Qi country

First gained a foothold in Linzi, the capital of Qi State

Rectify military discipline

Pacify the people

bought the hearts of the people in Linzi

Then lead the troops

In the vast territory of the country of Qi

Crusade everywhere

Less than half a year

He captured more than 70 cities in the Qi Kingdom

Only Ju and Jimo are still holding on

Le Yi also did not attack

And he sent a great army to surround the two cities

Wait for your time

King Yan Zhao was overjoyed

Reward Joy Yi in person

He was named the king of Changguo

A few years later

King Yan Zhao returned to heaven

A new king succeeded to the throne

It is King Yan Hui

This is when King Yan Hui was the crown prince

Because his father favored Le Yi

has always been a little unhappy with Le Yi

After he came to power

Le Yi clearly felt it

The state is not so supportive of itself anymore

At this time, the Mo Shou general Tian Dan learned that the monarchs and ministers of the Yan State were not in harmony

It adds fuel to the fire

Adopt the opposite strategy

In the end, Le Yi was replaced by Yong's generals

To save your life

Le Yi fled to Zhao State

Then Tian Dan put a big fire bull array

Defeat the Yan Army

Killed the horseman

and took advantage of the victory to pursue

Recovered more than 70 cities of the Qi State

That's an afterword

272 BC

There was chaos in the Yan Kingdom

King Yanhui was killed

The ministers re-established the new king as a puppet

The kingdom of Yan fell into decay again
