Jiuyuan, the county office, the location of Li Mu's Chinese military tent.

The room was full of people, Li Mu and Sima Shang were there.

The generals all rubbed their hands, looking at Li Mu with anticipation.

"General, can you give you a concert for you, let us destroy a warring state?" Some generals finally couldn't help it and rushed to Li Mudao.

"yes." A chorus of echoes rang out.

"The Central Plains fought so lively, Han Wei Qichu was destroyed, but we watched the play in Jiuyuan, and we were cold and lively, which was too torturous."

"This is the first great unification in hundreds of years since the Zhou Dynasty lost its morality and could not control the princes, but we can only watch the drama and cannot participate, which is more uncomfortable than sleeping with salted fish on the pillow of a greedy cat."

The generals shouted one after another, shouting vigorously, and their faces were unwilling.

Since the Zhou Dynasty lost its morality and could not control the princes, the world was looking forward to unification, and the five kingdoms of Wei, Qi, Chu, Qin and Zhao were placed on high hopes, thinking that they could unify the world. At present, only the Qin State is strong and has the strength to dominate the world, and moreover, Qin Yiren turned this high hope into a reality, and the four kingdoms of Han, Wei, Qi, and Chu were destroyed one after another.

The Central Plains is fighting so lively, and the Qin army in Jiuyuan can only watch the play, who can be willing?

Li Mu had a smile on his face, and with a wave of his right hand, he stopped the generals from talking any further, and said, "Okay, don't say it again." I can understand your feelings, and I'm anxious. Although the king asked us to garrison Jiuyuan to guard against abnormal movements in the desert, however, seeing that the general was fighting smoothly, I also wanted to put on a battle. But I can't disobey the king's will. ”

"General, I didn't let you resist the order. Just give your advice. A shout rang out.

"It's going to be hard." Li Mu spread his hands. Keep shaking your head.

"Huh. What happened to the general? I had a smile on my face. When have you ever seen a general laugh? "There are careful generals who have discovered Li Mu's strangeness.

Li Mu is a strict person, and when he rarely laughs, he actually has a smile on his face, which is really rare, and the generals immediately discovered the abnormality, all of which are very strange.

"I have gathered you here today for a glad event to tell you. There is a decree from the king, asking us to raise an army to destroy Yan. The smile on Li Mu's face was even more. I laughed even more.

The six kingdoms of Shandong have been wiped out, and Qin Yiren handed over the last country, Yan Kingdom, to Li Mu and them, this thing is so joyful, a wolf-like cheer sounded: "Haha! That's great! Your Excellency has not forgotten us! We can finally destroy the country. ”

"General, the last general is willing to take the lead."

"General, I am willing to go on the expedition."

Immediately afterwards, all the generals were the ones you called me, and they all asked for battle, all of them rubbing their fists and howling. At first glance, I thought it was a pack of wolves.

Li Mu pressed down with both hands, and finally stopped the howling of the generals. Said: "Destroying Yan is certainly a good thing, but Jiuyuan also needs someone to guard ......"

The generals who were still howling lowered their heads and pursed their lips tightly, as if they were afraid of this matter.

"This time, Yan Yan dispatched an army of 150,000, leaving 50,000 to guard Jiuyuan." Li Mu glanced at the generals, slowly spoke, and said, "The fifty thousand, which is not bad for ordinary training, is left. ”

"Haha! I've been training well, and I'm finally ready to kill the swallows. ”

"Why? Aren't we just a little bit close? ”

Before Li Mu's words fell, two completely different voices shouted, and those who had excellent training were very happy, and they could finally kill Yan. Those who are not well trained can only complain.

"I, Li Mu, command the army like this, only the best can go to the battlefield." Li Mu waved his right hand and made up his mind.

"These rabbit cubs, I want to train them fiercely, and practice them to the death." The generals who failed to participate in the extermination of Yan gritted their teeth and roared viciously.

Li Mu immediately assigned the task and said: "Jun Shangte's advice should first cut off the retreat route for Yan Guo to flee to Liaodong, and not let one person and one horse escape to Liaodong. Therefore, I decided that the matter of destroying the country could be divided into two routes, and 50,000 troops along the way would be led by General Sima to cut off the retreat route for the Yan State to flee to Liaodong. 100,000 all the way, led by me, straight down to Jicheng. ”

There was no objection to this assignment.

"Remember, you must stop the drums, march lightly, don't fight if you can, and rush to Jicheng as quickly as possible." Li Mu's voice turned higher and said, "Perhaps, when we arrived, Yan Wangxi hadn't noticed it yet, and he was still drinking." ”

"Haha." The crowd burst into laughter.

In this way, Li Mu gave an order, and the 150,000 Qin troops set out from Jiuyuan, and 50,000 all the way were led by Sima Shang, marching eastward, preparing to cut off the retreat route of the Yan State to Liaodong.

On the other hand, hundreds of thousands of Qin troops, under the leadership of Li Mu, marched lightly, died down, and went straight to Jicheng, the capital of Yan State.

From Jiuyuan to Jicheng, the capital of Yan Kingdom, this terrain belongs to the edge of the desert, empty and boundless, there are few difficult places to march, which is convenient for marching, and the Qin army entered the territory of Yan Kingdom in a few more minutes.

At this time, the Yan State focused its attention on the south, because Qin Yiren ordered the Qin army to feint and put on a posture of attacking the Yan State from Zhao Land, so as to confuse the Yan State. Therefore, Yan Guo did not notice it in the slightest, and until Li Mu's army arrived in Jicheng, Yan Guo did not notice it.

The reason why Yan Guo failed to perceive it, in addition to the confusion of Qin Yiren, was that the 100,000 Qin army led by Li Mu was particularly good at marching quickly, and the speed of advance was extremely fast.

Fighting in the desert is completely different from fighting in the Central Plains, the desert is open and the grassland is endless, which requires the army to be able to maneuver quickly. The Qin army stationed in Jiuyuan was trained by Li Mu to march quickly, and this march perfectly illustrated what it means to be quick to maneuver, and it took only thirteen days from Jiuyuan to Jicheng.

Such a fast speed is unprecedented.

When Li Mu rushed to Jicheng, he was not surprised, only to see that Jicheng was the same as before, people were in and out, without the slightest panic, and there was no panic at all.

"Hey, where did the army come from? How do you look like Qin Jun? As soon as the pedestrians found Qin Jun, they couldn't help but be surprised, and their eyes widened, with a look of disbelief.

"Black uniforms, black armor, black flags. This is Qin Jun. That's right. It's Qin Jun, didn't you see that there was a 'Qin' word written on the banner? ”

"You don't want to talk nonsense. Could it be that the Great Yan army defeated the Qin army and captured the Qin army's military uniforms, armor and banners to dazzle? ”

The Qin army came too fast, and these pedestrians obviously saw the Qin army, but they couldn't believe that it was true, and thought that the Yan army was dazzling with the Qin army's military uniforms, armor and flags.

"Hey, are you Qin Jun or Yan Jun?" Someone even raised his voice and asked loudly.

"Haha!" This question does not matter. It caused Qin Jun to laugh heartily.

"These Yan people are really, but they don't believe it when they see the Ruishi of Great Qin, they are too confused, right?"

"I've seen such a confused person, but I've never seen such a confused person!"

The Qin army was greatly disdainful.

In this way, the Qin army swaggered into Jicheng amid the speculation of pedestrians.

The actions of the Yan army guarding the city gate were even more strange, they stood on the head of the city, gave a thumbs up to the Qin army, and exclaimed: "Brother, you are really kind!" Even the Qin army can be defeated, and they can also take their military uniforms and armor banners to dazzle. What are you from? If you have anything extra, let me have some of them. I also tremble. ”

It wasn't until the Qin army entered the city, occupied the city gate, and put the Qin sword around their necks that they believed that this was not the Yan army pretending, but the real Qin army, but unfortunately it was too late.

After occupying the city gate, the Qin army, led by Li Mu, went straight to the palace.

Li Mu thought to himself, there must be a battle in the palace, however, Li Mu, who had always been accurate in predicting things, miscalculated this time.

"Wow! Brother, you are really amazing, you can defeat the Tiger Wolf Qin Army, pick up the military uniform and armor of the Tiger Wolf Qin Army and dress up as the Tiger Wolf Qin Army, you are so fucking can think about it, I want it too, give me some, let me be majestic. The Yan army guarding the palace shouted, and some people rushed up, wanting to take off the military uniforms and armor on the Qin army as collectibles.

Yan Guo is weak, how dare he provoke Qin State, yes, in the eyes of Yan Jun, Qin Jun's equipment is a rare thing, and everyone wants to get a majestic body.

Of course, it was the sword of the Qin army that answered them, and it was not until the Qin army restrained these Yan troops and occupied the palace that they came to their senses, this is the real Qin army, but it was too late.

In this way, the Qin army occupied Jicheng and occupied the palace without bloodshed.

Li Mu led the army to arrest Yan Wangxi.

At this time, King Yan was not drinking and feasting as usual, but discussed with his ministers whether it was time to escape.

Only Yan is left in the six countries of Shandong, and it is inevitable that Qin will destroy Yan. The Yan State will inevitably not be able to defeat the Qin State, and it is inevitable to escape, it is just a matter of when to escape.

Some people said that they should flee immediately, and some people said that it would be too late to flee when the Qin army attacked. Otherwise, it would be too torturous to rush to the bitter cold and barren land of Liaodong as soon as possible to suffer.

In this way, the two sides disputed the word, refused to give in to each other, and argued for many days, but there was no result.

While arguing, I saw Li Mu leading the Qin army in, Yan Wangxi's eyes lit up, he slapped his forehead, waved at Li Mu, and said: "Come here, take off your military uniform and armor, and if you put on this outfit, even if you encounter the Qin army's obstruction, you can pretend to be the Qin army." ”

"Your Excellency is wise." A chorus of praise rang out, coming from the mouths of the ministers.

As soon as Li Mu heard this, he almost fell to the ground, rolled his eyes and said, "I've seen daydreaming, but I've never seen such a dream!" ”

"Come on, report to the king, and say that Ji Xi and the ministers were captured alive, and the Yan Kingdom was destroyed!" Li Mu saw Yan Wangxi's puzzled look in his eyes, and had no intention of explaining it to him, and immediately announced the destruction of the Yan Kingdom.

Yan State is the fief of Zhaogong, the younger brother of King Wu of Zhou, and it was not big originally, and it was a small prince. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the Yan State was repeatedly harassed by the Hu people and the Guzhu State, and it was so miserable that it had to ask for help from the Duke of Qi Huan.

Together with Guan Zhong, Duke Qi Huan led 30,000 Qi troops to the north and wiped out the Guzhu Kingdom, gaining thousands of miles of land. Duke Qi Huan gave this thousands of miles of land to the Yan Kingdom, and the Yan Kingdom became a great prince, ranking among the seven major warring states.

Throughout the seven warring states, Chu was the most backward, and in the Warring States period, it still had to use the way of car warfare in the Spring and Autumn Period. Yan Guo is the most pedantic of the Seven Warring States, to what extent is it pedantic?

In the Warring States Period, all countries were changing their laws to become stronger, and Yan was still abiding by the "law of the ancestors" and still adopting the set of Zhou Gong. If it weren't for King Yan Zhao's report and the use of Le Yi to carry out some reforms, this most pedantic prince would not have changed much. After Le Yi left Yan, Yan Guo returned to the old road.

Pursuing "roundabout government" is the reason for the demise of the Yan State.
