Early in the morning of the second day, everyone was neatly dressed and came to the main hall early to wait for the new monarch's succession ceremony.

After all, for the first time, you must make a good impression on Xinjun, so that you can be reused in the future. Especially the group of civil officials led by Zuo Xiang are all very nervous, and General Le Yi is much better.

"When the time comes, the officials are quiet, and the new monarch enters the palace. ”

"Congratulations to the new monarch on his ascension to the throne and the prosperity of Dayan. ”

Then I saw a middle-aged man dressed in a gorgeous brocade robe, with a common appearance, and a graceful and luxurious temperament, enter the main hall, sit on the top chair, and say to all the people:

"Everyone, get up, may you advance and retreat together with Dayan, so that my Dayan can survive this difficult time and then become a strong country. ”

"Thank you, Xinjun, we will do our best. ”

"Alright, come on, read the edict"

All the people knelt on the ground, and at this time Le Yi stood aside, holding the edict and reading:

"Heaven and earth are coming, and the new monarch is on the throne. Celebrate with all the ministers. The general Le Yi sealed the town of Guohou, and concurrently served as the general and Jingcheng Order, commanding the three armies to resist the Qi army. The left minister sealed the left wait, assisted the town and the state to lead the government and grain and grass reserves, and made all preparations. The others are each one level older. Everyone worked together to protect Jingcheng. At the same time, he was crowned as a general who died in the battle of Shangling, and his descendants could eat and inherit his title for two generations. Baili Zhuo was made a general. ”

"Long live my king, long live my king. ”

And all the people worshipped

"Alright, everybody, get up and sit down. Yan Zhaogong sat above, like a king, if he didn't move, his movement was amazing, so that no one could ignore his existence.

Looking at Yan Zhaogong's momentum, all the people couldn't help but be full of confidence in resisting the Qi army this time.

"I don't know what you guys have for the Qi army?"

"I believe that under the leadership of my king and with General Le Yi under the leadership, we will definitely be able to defeat the Qi army. Among them, the general guarding the west gate of Jingcheng said.

"Well, don't say those useless words. I wonder how we can end the war as quickly as possible. In this way, my Yan Kingdom can have enough time to recover better. After all, over time, the hearts of the other lost cities will change. So it can't be delayed for too long. ”

Le Yi was amazed by Yan Zhaogong's Octavia, it seemed that as long as Yan Guo had enough time, he would definitely be able to become strong under Yan Zhaogong's leadership.

"I'm Wang Mingrui. Due to the suddenness of the battle, there was some urgency in all respects. If it is more than enough to rely on the strength of Jingcheng to defend, but the defeat of the Qi army, it will be a little powerless to recover the lost territory. So it can only be with the help of external forces. Le Yi stood up and said to Yan Zhaogong.

"With the help of external forces, I wonder what the town of the country can do?"

"The Qin State is too far away, and it has been busy changing the law, and at the same time fighting against the Xiongnu, it is estimated that there is no time to send troops to help. Wei fought against Korea and Chu, and there was no time to help. Then only Zhao Guo remains. ”

"Can Zhao Guo do it? I remember a few years ago he ceded land with my Yan Kingdom. ”

"Don't underestimate Zhao Guo, it is precisely because of Zhao Guo's strategy that he has been able to find peace and stability for so many years. With reliable intelligence, the population that has poured into Zhao over the years is no less than three million, no less than another Zhao country. ”

"I see, but did Zhao send troops? I remember that Zhao didn't want to offend Qi Guo. ”

"This, my king can give it a try, after all, there is hope for trying, and Yan Guo can get out of this predicament. I'm sure to let Zhao send troops, but Yan may have to shed some blood. Le Yi said to Yan Zhaogong.

"Report, King, the Kingdom of Qi has begun to attack the city. At this moment a guard ran in and bowed

"Alright, in that case, you all get busy first, and wait for the time to discuss. After speaking, Yan Zhaogong got up and left.

And all the people left the hall and went about their own business. After all, now that the Qi State is attacking the city, no one wants to make a mistake at this time, so that Yan Zhaogong can be regarded as a model and kill chickens to show monkeys.

Because Le Yi was thinking, he was the last to walk out of the main hall, and was stopped by an attendant as soon as he left the main hall

"Dare to ask if it's Zhen Guohou?"

"I am, you are?"

"My king said, the town and the country have arranged everything, and they will come to the harem to discuss important matters with my king. ”

"Okay, I see" After saying that, he couldn't leave.

Not long after, Le Yi came to the city wall of Jingcheng. Looking at it, there are a lot of Qi troops, like ants, and it is roughly estimated that there are 200,000. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, no wonder Shangling would be broken so quickly, it seems that Qi Guo is determined to destroy Yan Guo this time. These are estimated to be the elite troops of the Yan Kingdom. Each soldier has bright armor and a proud temperament. It seems that there will be a bitter battle in Jingcheng.

Outside the city, Tian Ji and Sun Bin discussed together: "Due to the acceleration of the march, heavy weapons such as siege machinery were left behind. So now relying on people to attack the city, it is estimated that the casualties will be very large. What should I do now?" Tian Ji asked.

"There is no way but to wait for the siege machinery to arrive and attack together. After all, Jingcheng is no better than other cities, the city walls are tall and thick, and now Jingcheng has done a good job of defense, if it is attacked by people, the loss will be too great. Now, on the one hand, let the soldiers collect siege stones, etc., to prepare for the siege. ”

"Well, that's all there is to it. Unless there's a way to get them out of the city to fight, there's just a wait. ”

"Le Yi is not an idle person, his ability is still above a hundred miles, all, don't think about this. He wouldn't just go out of the city to meet the enemy. Sun Bin said, "It's just that we have to surround the city to prevent Yan Guo from sending people for help." We must block this news, otherwise it will cause the participation of other countries, and the pattern of the Central Plains will undergo great changes. ”

Tian Ji conveyed this order and asked all the ministries to raise their vigilance.

Le Yi stood on the city wall and saw the situation of the Qi army, and was a little surprised. It seems that in order to rush to Jingcheng quickly, he didn't even bring siege machinery. Fortunately, the Qi army was a little sleepy when it arrived at Jingcheng, if it was directly attacked yesterday, and Jingcheng was not prepared, then it is difficult to say whether Jingcheng can be saved. It seems that God is attached to Jingcheng and Yanguo.

Le Yi looked at the current situation and estimated that it would be impossible for the Qi army to attack the city within two or three days, so he arranged the city defense and headed towards the palace.

When he came to the palace, Le Yi found that Zuo Xiang and others were also there. I thought to myself, it seems that this matter is not small.

"See my king. ”

"Zhenguo is here, hurry, please take a seat. I invited everyone here today, just to ask Yan Guo privately about the search for foreign aid. Zhen Guohou, you have already seen the formation of the Qi army, how is it?"

"My king, the soldiers and armor of the Qi army are all of the highest rank, and it can be said that they are an elite division. Fortunately, God is in love, and the Qi army did not attack the city yesterday, otherwise, Jingcheng would be difficult to protect. Now there are about 200,000 elite Qi troops outside the city, and it seems that the King of Qi is determined to destroy the Yan Kingdom. And our army is estimated to be able to hold out for half a year, and it will be difficult to say after half a year. Therefore, it is urgent to seek foreign assistance. "Le Yi told the truth about all the situations.

"Are you sure Zhao will come to help?"

"Then it depends on how determined my king is," Le Yi said as he stared at Yan Zhaogong.

After Yan Zhaogong and Le Yi looked at each other for a few breaths, they said to everyone: "As long as Zhao Guoken sends troops, then the land of the former Zhao State will be returned, and Gancheng, Xingcheng, Lü Shun, Zecheng and Shangling will all be handed over to Zhao State." What do you think?"

"This, the king can't, this is to give half of the Yan Kingdom to the Zhao Kingdom. Zuo Xiang said in a hurry.

"Hmph, you've passed it. Now that the Qi army is besieging Jingcheng, the Yan Kingdom is not protected, and you are still here to worry about it. Then the land that has been found before will be returned, Gancheng, Xingcheng, Lüshun, Zecheng, Shangling, etc. are all in the hands of Qi State. If Zhao can defeat Qi, then what does it matter to Zhao Guo. If the Zhao State is defeated, then Jingcheng will be lost, and the Yan State will not exist, so why say so much. Otherwise, you go and retreat the Qi army. Le Yi was a little angry and yelled at Zuo Xiang. Le Yi was a little angry this time. It's hard to say whether Yan Guo can keep it or not, this left minister is actually entangled in the gains and losses of the land here, and besides, those lands are not in the hands of Yan Guo now. It's a real delay.

Seeing that Le Yi was angry, Zuo Xiang understood that maybe Yan Guo was really in danger, so he closed his mouth.

Yan Zhaogong saw that everyone was silent, and also pondered for a while.

"Then who to send to Zhao State to negotiate?"

No one in this entire hall spoke, and if he wanted to send someone to persuade Zhao to send troops, of course he could only send a literati, and Jingcheng was trapped, could he escape from the encirclement of the Qi army?
