By the time Sima Shang sent someone back to report it, it was already the next morning.

Although the Yan army saw Qu Jing's sword, he still didn't want to believe that Qu Jing had killed himself, and he and Zhao Jun spent until dawn the next day, and did not wait for Qu Jing, but saw 10,000 captured Yan soldiers.

Only then did the Yan army in the camp surrender.

Soon, the news of the surrender of the Yan army reached Jicheng.

After Jiang Qu learned about it, a mouthful of blood spurted out of his throat, his face was like gold paper, and he was one or twenty years old in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, the impeachment of the sky was sent to King Yan.

Over the years, Jiangqu has been favored by King Yan alone, controlling the government and government, one person is above 10,000 people, and the minister of civil and military affairs has long been unhappy with him.

Now because of a decision by Jiang Qu, 100,000 Yan troops were buried in Zhao State, how could they not fall into the ground.

The eunuch also seemed to anticipate Jiangqu's loss of power, and did not dare to stop it in the slightest, but tried his best to dissociate himself from Jiangqu.

"Rubbish, just a bunch of rubbish, ahem...... 100,000 troops, ahem...... An army of 100,000 did not even resist, and surrendered like this! Ahem......" After King Yan learned the news, he couldn't even care about cultivating immortals, he trembled with anger, and scolded loudly.

100,000 troops, this is the old bottom of Yanguo Province's frugality!

Well, now it's all gone!

A row of eunuchs stood below, their heads lowered, holding their breath, not daring to show any movement.

"Call me the general, that's his chance? This is what he said about the emptiness of the Zhao Kingdom? If this is considered emptiness, then what does it mean not to be empty......" The more King Yan scolded, the more energetic he became, changing his past decadence.

I don't call Jiang Qu Xiangguo, just call my name.

A clever eunuch hurriedly walked outside, he didn't want to listen to King Yan scolding here, in case he suddenly went crazy, he ordered everyone to be dragged out to play the *** board, and there was no place to cry.

"The minister is guilty." After Jiang Qu saw King Yan, he didn't explain and fell directly to the ground.

King Yan handed over the entire Yan Kingdom to him, and he was also full of confidence and tried to revitalize the Yan Kingdom. Follow the example of the sages and leave a good name for the harmony of monarchs and ministers.

However, the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

He is not Guan Zhong, and he can't make Yan Guo the hegemon.

The State of Zhao was also more powerful than the opponents of the State of Qi. ap.

"Guilty? No, it is the widow who is guilty, and the widow should not believe you. The widow thought you were a minister of the humerus, but I didn't expect it to be a backbone." King Yan walked in front of Jiangqu, kicked Jiangqu over, and then stepped on it twice before being pulled away by the eunuch.

"Before the king punishes the ministers, please listen to the ministers." Climb up the ditch and straighten the way.

"Get out, the widow doesn't want to hear what you say, don't let the widow see you again in the future." King Yan pointed to the door and said angrily.

"Great King, after the Zhao army defeated our army, it is very likely that they will choose to go north to attack our Yan Kingdom, at this time, the internal emptiness of our Yan Kingdom is to the extreme, and the people also have a lot of complaints about the imperial court. The city of thistle cannot be defended for a long time. For today's plan, the only way to retreat to Liaodong is to temporarily avoid the edge of Zhao Guo."

"At that time, the king can entrust Jixian to a reliable general, and if he can hold it, it will not be too late for the king to return to Jixian. If Jixian is lost, the king will run Liaodong, wait for the world to change, and then send troops to recover the lost territory."

"My Yan Kingdom will wither the stars, and the court is full of flies and dogs, who will only fight for power and profit, and flattery, and the king should not be gullible to them. Cultivating immortals seems to have a bright future, but for thousands of years, no one has achieved anything, and I hope that the king will be able to focus on state affairs in the future, revitalize the Yan Kingdom, and not live up to the inheritance left by the ancestors."

"There are many famous generals in the Zhao Kingdom, and even the father and son of the Chang Guojun have defected to the Zhao State. The Zhao army is elite, and my Yan country is young and strong, and only the old and weak are left in the city. The only one in my Yan Kingdom who has the potential to stop the Zhao army is General Qin Kai. As an old minister of King Zhao, Qin Kai is deeply favored by King Zhao, and although he is not reused, he still has no resentment against my Yan Kingdom."

"After the minister leaves, I hope that the king can personally invite Qin Kai. If the king does not want to, he sends an envoy. Qin Kai will not fail the king. Doctor Ju Wu, a resolute person, although the age is weak, often has amazing words, can entrust big things, the king is amiable and trusted......

"When the war is over, Zhao Guo should be

Put back the army that was captured five years ago, and as for the army that was captured this time, it should not be released back in a short time. The soldiers were defeated and captured, and it was my Yan Kingdom that was sorry for them. I also hope that the king will treat them as before, do not make any difference, if there is more money and food, it is best to reduce some taxes, and do not let Zhao's plan succeed......

"My Yan Kingdom is the weakest, and I can't face Zhao Guo alone. After the ministers left, the foreign kings should continue to maintain friendship with Qin and Qi and jointly fight against Zhao. Win over the three kingdoms of Han, Wei and Chu to keep them neutral. The country should select the virtuous and capable, and the king must keep his eyes open, and don't let incompetent people like the ministers control the government and deceive the king. I also have to pay lightly, in the past few years, the people of my Yan country have lived a very hard life......

"Minister. I'm sorry for the king, I'm sorry for the Yan Kingdom."

"The minister is gone."

Jiang Qu didn't care about King Yan's expulsion, but just knelt on the ground and said silently, as if he wanted to tell King Yan all the words in his heart.

Yan Wang was impatient at first, but then his mood slowly stabilized.

Although he is focused on cultivating immortals, he is not a fool, and he can hear that what Jiang Qu said is true feelings. And he has great respect and trust in Jiangqu in his heart, otherwise he would not have handed over all the power to Jiangqu.

By the time King Yan came back to his senses, Jiang Qu had already left the main hall.

Looking at the empty hall, King Yan felt as if he had lost something......

The next day, news came from Xiangguo's mansion that Xiangguo Jiangqu died of illness at home......

Although he was angry in his heart, he sent the 100,000 army of Yan State, but in the past five years, the love of the monarch and the minister still made King Yan personally come to the door to mourn Jiangqu.

As for what Jiang Qu said to King Yan before he died, he was basically forgotten by King Yan.

After returning to the palace, King Yan didn't have time to rest, and all kinds of paperwork were thrown at him from all directions.

In the past, these documents were handled by Jiang Qu alone, but now Jiang Qu is gone, and all of them have fallen to King Yan.

After ascending the throne for such a long time, King Yan is still the second time to deal with paperwork.

The last time it was dealt with was on the second day of his accession to the throne, and King Yan never dealt with it since.

However, this time Yan Wang is much luckier than five years ago, because the paperwork has been changed from bamboo slips to paper, and it is only half of the table, unlike before, the table cannot be put down, and it is piled up all over the ground.

"Ahem."

Two quarters of an hour later, King Yan, who had a sore back and dizzy head, looked at the paperwork in front of him and almost fainted.

"Forget it, let's deal with it tomorrow."

King Yan decided to go back to cultivate immortals first and relax himself.

If you don't fly for three years, you're in the minority after all.

Most people are intermittently complacent, constantly eating and waiting for death.

"The king is not good, the king is not good, Zhao Jun crossed the Laishui and hit Jicheng." At this moment, a guard rushed in from outside the temple.

Several eunuchs wanted to stop him, but when they heard what the guards said, they hurriedly retreated.

"When?" King Yan was startled, and a chill rushed to the top of his head, and all the fatigue on his body disappeared.

"Yesterday...... ...... yesterday."

Boom!

When a eunuch heard this, he collapsed to the ground in fright.

"King, the news is from yesterday...... With Zhao Jun's speed, I'm afraid it's not far from Jicheng, and even ...... It's probably already out of town." When the official eunuch saw King Yan looking at him, he quickly knelt on the ground and explained.

"But so?" King Yan looked at the guards.

"No...... Not bad." The guard nodded.

"Deliver a decree and let all the civil and military ministers of the DPRK and China come to discuss the matter as soon as possible. and recruit men from the city over fourteen years old and under sixty years old to guard the city, and no one except the handicapped shall refuse." King Yan ordered.

Most of the young and strong forces of the Yan Kingdom stayed in the Zhao State, and the only combat power in the entire Jicheng City was two thousand guards guarding the palace.

After giving the order, King Yan felt a little dizzy and uncomfortable, so he hurriedly sat down and waited for the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs.

When the Minister of Culture and Military Affairs of the Yan State learned that the Zhao army had reached the city, he did not dare to delay a little, and rode on horseback, drove a car, and rushed towards the palace in a panic.

As for the rules, fuck off.

The little life may be almost gone, and the rules are still there!

"My lord, the minister suggests peace." A minister stepped forward and said.

"Can Zhao Guo agree?" Yan Wang said worriedly.

As long as Zhao Guo can withdraw his troops, he is willing to pay compensation even if he cedes the land. What he was most afraid of was that Zhao Guo would not agree to withdraw from the army.

"The reason why Zhao Guo attacked my Yan State is that my Yan State attacked Zhao State, but the general Qu who gave the order at the beginning has died, as long as my Yan State admits his mistake to Zhao State, Zhao State has no reason to attack my Yan State." Minister Tian Ying said confidently.

The dead will be a basket into which anything can be loaded.

Anyway, the pot is all right.

As long as Zhao Guo has no reason to attack Yan State, Zhao State can only withdraw his troops.

"Okay. Then Aiqing will send Zhao Guo." King Yan clapped his hands and said, "As long as Zhao Guo's conditions are not too outrageous, Aiqing can decide for himself."

"Don't worry, the king's three inches of incorruptible tongue are enough to make Zhao retreat." Tian Ying leaned over and said.

At this time, the Zhao army had arrived twenty miles outside Jicheng, and Li Mu sent someone to contact Yuan Hua to unify military orders and dispatch.

At the same time, waiting for the infantry, Qingshe and Feng Wuxue were still behind.

"Although our army won the last battle, the country of Yan is empty. But don't be arrogant. Once you are arrogant, you will be defeated by the enemy who seize the opportunity. Regardless of whether the Yan army will attack or not, the military camp must be arranged, and there should be no sloppiness."

Li Mu likes to lead his troops to fight by himself, and everything must be done or checked by himself before he can rest assured.

From the beginning of leading the troops, Le Yi and Tian Dan told him that failure to do any details well could lead to the defeat of the whole army. As a general, with the lives of everyone in the army, there must be no sloppiness.

For so many years, Li Mu has also adhered to this point.

"There is a mountain of dirt in the middle, and there is no need to lure the enemy, but the kind that the enemy will feel disgusted when he sees it, and he doesn't want to fight. The left and right sides are left empty, leaving our cavalry to attack, and if the enemy comes to attack, you can attack both flanks of the enemy......

"General, the envoy of the Yan Kingdom asks to see you." At this time, the deputy general Sima Shang came over.

"Yan Guo's reaction was quite fast, as soon as our army arrived, they sent envoys over." Li Mu muttered a sentence and walked towards the main tent.

"This is General Li Mu, he is really young and promising." When Tian Ying saw Li Mu, he hurriedly greeted him, leaned over and said.

"Are you ......," Li Mu asked.

"In Shimoda Ying, the envoy of the Yan Kingdom." Tian Ying said.

It stands to reason that he should go directly to Handan. Because it is not the commander-in-chief who has the final say on whether to retreat or not, but the king of Zhao has the final say.

But he was worried that Yan Guo would not be able to come back by himself.

If you wait for yourself to return to Yan Kingdom, Jicheng has already been defeated by the Zhao army. Even if Zhao is persuaded to withdraw from the army, it will be too late.

Therefore, Tian Ying came to the Zhao army camp first, intending to persuade Li Mu not to attack Jicheng for the time being.

"Yan Guo invaded the territory of my Zhao State for no reason, invaded the rivers and mountains of my Zhao State, what kind of face did he have to send a messenger to see the general?" Li Mu snorted coldly, not giving Tian Ying a good face at all.

"General Mingjian, the king is dedicated to cultivating immortals, and has ignored the government for many years. This time, my Yan State attacked Zhao State, but Xiangguo General Qu was in charge of the court alone, and he insisted on going his own way, which was definitely not the intention of the king. When the king learned of this, he immediately dismissed the general and ordered the withdrawal of the army. But it's too late...... The wise and powerful general has taken all our troops prisoner. Now Jiang Qu has died. I, Yan Guo, would like to apologize to Zhao Guo and ask Zhao Guo to withdraw his troops and reconcile." Tian Ying said.

"It's really a good face, I don't know if Jiang Qu will be angry with you if he knows." Li Mu sneered, really thinking that he would only lead troops to fight.

Tian Ying was a little angry in his heart, but he still suppressed the anger in his heart, and said with a smile on his face: "The general said that he laughed, if Xiangguo hadn't died, he would definitely regret attacking Zhao Guo and apologize to Zhao Guo."

"Regret is certain. If you apologize, that's it

Not necessarily. Let's wait for King Yan to arrive in Handan before apologizing." Li Mumu said coldly.

"Zhao is a big country, Yan is a small country, a big country should maintain peace in the world, how can you bully a small country, this is a manifestation of unkindness." Tian Ying said loudly.

There is a big one, although I hit you, but I apologize, so you can't hit my posture.

Li Mu looked at the innocent Tian Ying like an idiot, not to mention that Yan Guo attacked Zhao State first, even if Yan Guo did not attack Zhao State, Zhao Guo would attack Yan State if he freed his hand.

Did you fucking live hundreds of years ago? Think you need a real reason to beat you?

There's no better reason to make up than.

If Yan Guo is not satisfied, Zhao Guo can find a few bitter masters to accuse Yan Guo, and stage a good show that the country will lose its people.

In this world, after all, the strong are respected, not justice.

Small countries do not even have the strength to uphold justice.

Not to mention a country like Yanguo, which is itself hairy.

This was the weakest time for the Yan Kingdom, and there were not many young adults in the entire Yan Kingdom, how could the Zhao Kingdom give up attacking the Yan Kingdom.

"Yan Envoy, please come back." Li Mu didn't want to talk nonsense with Tian Ying, it was a waste of time, so he made a gesture of please.

"If you go to Handan, you will definitely convince King Zhao. Please also ask the general to give a little time in the next moment, and don't attack the city for the time being until King Zhao's order is issued." Tian Ying said.

"Yan Envoy still let King Yan think of a way, how to enhance Jicheng's ability to defend the city." Li Mu got up and walked outside.

It is true that the Zhao army will not attack the city for the time being, because the army has not yet arrived.

But how could Li Mu tell Tian Ying.

Let Yan Guo go in a hurry.

The more urgent the Yan State, the better it is for the Zhao army to attack.

Seeing this, Tian Ying hurriedly chased out.

Before coming, he promised in front of King Yan that he would definitely let Zhao Jun retreat.
