Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Zhao Dan was indeed a little tired.

I thought Zhao would be able to avoid the internal strife and political struggles like other countries, and I have been working hard in this direction.

But in the end, it seems that I am still too young.

Chapter 626 Your Wife, I Raise It, Don’t Worry About It (Fifth Change)

Fenmen City.

Le Jian stood at the top of the city and watched Zhao Jun below the city. His young face was full of worry and hesitation.

Although he has tried his best, it seems that the efforts of the Prime Minister of Yan Kingdom have not achieved much results.

The Qin and Chu countries, who were regarded as saviors by Lejian, have not heard any response until now, but on the frontal battlefield, Lejian's troubles began to become more and more serious.

When Le Jian found out that the people of Qi State started to leave camp, he almost cheered, because at that time, Le Jian was very optimistic that the reason why the people of Qi State would leave was of course that the people of Qi State stabbed Qi State in the back. The reason for the knife is as if the country of Yan also stabbed the country of Qi quietly not long ago.

However, Le Jian soon found out that he was wrong.

Because the people of Qi did not go south, but crossed the Beiyi River and went north.

The north is not the land of Qi State, but the territory of Yan State.

After crossing the Beiyi River, it is the land of Dukang in Yan State, the most important and richest land between Wuyang and Jidu in Yan State.

The people of Qi are going to the land of Dukang?This is definitely not good news for Yan Guo.

If the land of Dukang is smashed, it is equivalent to Qin's Guanzhong being smashed. Regardless of the final outcome, Yan will become one of the biggest losers.

After realizing this information, Le Jian immediately wanted to lead his troops out of the city to have a life-and-death battle with the Qi people.

But the problem is that there are not only 15 Qi troops outside the city.

The remaining 15 Zhao troops were still firmly entrenched in the southwest of Fenmen City, motionless, with no sign of going north at all.

This gave Le Jian a very headache.

If the Qi army is pursued, then the Zhao army will definitely follow up. The result will be that the Yan army will be pinched head-to-tail by the Qi army and the Zhao army in the wild. Basically speaking, it will undoubtedly be defeated.

In fact, there is another way that can be thought of, that is, after the Qi army leaves to cross the Beiyi River, the Yan army first goes out of the city to defeat the Zhao army, and then returns to the north to defeat the Qi army in the land of Dukang. The war is won.

This is also the most perfect result for Yan Guo.

Fortunately, Le Jian is a very self-aware person, not a fool whose brain was kicked by a donkey.

Whether it's Pang Nuan or Kuang Liang, these two are famous generals in their respective countries, and both have the record of defeating the country of Yan.

Considering the achievements of Qi and Zhao over the years, if there is still some hope of defeating Qi, then it is really very, very difficult to defeat the 15 elites of Zhao led by Pang Nuan, almost nothing Success is possible.

So Le Jian fell into hesitation.

Lejian's hesitation means that almost ten days have passed.

After the Qi army left, Zhao Jun did not fill the vacancy of the Qi army, so a large part of the encirclement of Fenmen City was missing.

The gap in the encirclement also led to a very miraculous thing, that is, although Fenmen City was surrounded, its external communication was completely unimpeded

So Lejian can clearly understand how the Qi people burned, killed and looted in the land of Dukang.

According to the latest news, Linle City has been surrounded by the Qi army.

If Lejian doesn't want to do anything, then Linle City, which has only [-] defenders, will definitely not be able to defend for too long.

Once Linle City fell, the connection between Fenmen City where Lejian was located and Jidu was completely cut off.

Le Jian took a deep breath and asked the lieutenant beside him, "Is there still no news?"

At this moment, Le Jian urgently needs a news that can cheer him up and the 20 Yan troops in the city, no matter whether the news comes from the Xiongnu, Qin State or Chu State.

But Le Jian was disappointed in the end.

"General, there is no news."

Lejian shook his head, and asked again: "What about Jidu, what can you say?"

Two secret letters were handed to Le Jian: "General, this is the secret letter just sent by Jidu."

Le Jian couldn't wait to open the two secret letters.

The first letter was from the official of Yan State Chaotang, and there was nothing worth noting in it, just some routine military briefings, and encouraging Lejian to lead the frontline soldiers to fight well.

Lejian opened the second letter again, and as he looked at it, his brows gradually became wrinkled.

Different from the first letter, this second letter was written by Yuejian's trusted minister in Jidu.

Since the start of the war, some people in Yan State advocated seeking peace from Zhao State by ceding the land, and this voice rose again after the Qi army entered the land of Du Kang.

Since the leader of the main war faction, Lejian, is not in Jidu, the peace faction has gradually become the mainstream at this moment, and the calls for peace with Zhao and Qi are getting louder and louder.

According to the letter, several veteran officials of the Yan Kingdom joined hands to meet the Queen Mother Yan in the palace the day before writing the letter. They seemed to have had a fierce quarrel with the Queen Mother Yan. In short, the faces of these veteran officials were not very good when they left.

The more Lejian looked at it, the more angry he felt, and finally couldn't help but slapped heavily on the battlements of Fenmen City beside him.

"These old thieves are so shameless and shameless that they did such a thing to force the palace while I was away!"

The veterans of the Yan Kingdom mentioned in the letter were usually subservient to Le Jian, but they wanted to stand on the other side of Le Jian just when the situation was a bit unfavorable.

If possible, Lejian wished that he would immediately grow a pair of wings and fly back to Jidu to give these guys a hard lesson.

After being angry, Le Jian couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

"If I didn't lead the army outside but stayed in Jidu, then such a thing would not have happened."

But it is too late to regret at this moment, the only way to solve the crisis we are facing now is the attitude we should have.

Le Jian took a deep breath, finally made up his mind, and said to the lieutenant beside him: "I have a task that I want to entrust to you, I wonder if you are willing to accept it?"

The lieutenant subconsciously straightened his body, and said: "But please order!"

Le Jian said in a low voice: "Tomorrow I am going to lead the army to withdraw from this place and go north to help Linle City. But now the Zhao people are still outside the city. If they find that I have signs of withdrawing, then Pang Nuan will definitely lead the army to pursue and will not let me go. It’s so easy to go north to help.”

"That's why I hope you can lead an army to buy time for my main force to retreat!"

When he said these words, Le Jian felt a little bit sorry in his heart.

After all, under such circumstances, there is basically no difference between death and death.

But Le Jian had to do this, otherwise, once he was chased by Zhao Jun while crossing the river, Yan Jun would definitely suffer only a disastrous defeat.
