Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

The consequence of this is that Xiangping City has completely become an isolated city.

"The Empress Dowager Yan and Little Yan King will never run away again this time." After doing all this, Li Mu said to Yi Qusheng with certainty.

Yi Qusheng nodded, but stopped talking.

Li Mu said: "There is an order in the army that women are not allowed to enter the camp, let alone be forced to have sex with women."

Yi Qusheng shouted: "Those two girls admire me, and they did it voluntarily!"

Li Mu nodded: "If a woman's husband and father-in-law have already gone to the battlefield, when she faces a murderous Hun with a saber in his hand, they must be voluntary in order to survive. If there is such a willingness again, then I will whip you another fifty army sticks."

Yi Qusheng wanted to say something else, but Li Mu had already kicked him out of the tent.

So Li Mu also adopted the same approach as Pang Nuan, which was to encircle but not attack.

Pang Nuan dispatched Ju Xin and led a 3-strong army to sweep the entire Yan State, and took all the land of Yan State except Linle and Xiangping into Zhao State's pocket.

Although they encountered very strong resistance, when most of the troops capable of fighting were concentrated in Linle and Xiangping, sporadic resistance could not be the opponent of the established Zhao army.

It is necessary to kill people to establish power. Ju Xin mercilessly killed all those who dared to resist with an iron fist, and gave those Yan officials and families who were willing to surrender the power to assist Zhao officials to govern the local area.

In fact, for the common people at the bottom, it doesn't matter at all that their king is called King Yan or King Zhao. The reason why Qi State's annexation of Yan State was greatly opposed is because the aristocrats of Yan State were here. I didn't get any benefits from it, or I didn't get enough benefits.

Therefore, under the influence of Ju Xin, who had been watching Yan Guo for a long time, with a carrot and a big stick, most of the Yan State quickly calmed down, and the wave of resistance against Zhao State one after another has basically disappeared. up.

After doing all this, not only spring has passed, but even summer is coming to an end.

The siege of Linle City is still going on, and the morale of the Yan army in the city is also getting low, especially when Zhao Jun's leaflets are shot in every few days, this low morale will hit a new low.

Pang Nuan is a guy who knows how to attack the heart, so every time a leaflet mentions the fall of a certain city or county, the seals of these city guards and county guards will definitely appear on the leaflet this time. In Linle City, soldiers of the Yan Army belonging to these places would break out riots, ranging from small to large, but the common point was that they would die every time.

After a lot of time, even Le Jian, who was lying on the bed, felt that he could support it for almost half a year without falling down, which was simply a miracle.

But in any case, Linle City has not been conquered, nor has Xiangping City. Other countries seem to have completely forgotten about Zhao Guo's attack on Yan, and there is no sign of sending troops to help Yan Kingdom.

However, according to the information that Hu Yiwei keeps sending back, the four countries of Qin, Qi, Han, and Chu are all preparing for war, and they all place the main direction of defense on the border with Zhao.

Except for the war of Zhao Guo's defeating Yan, there was no other war on the entire continent.

"We are enemies all over the world!" After Zhao Dan learned of this situation, he smiled and said this to the ministers in front of him.

For Zhao Dan's self-ridicule, Zhao's ministers obviously didn't feel any psychological pressure, instead they smiled and agreed with Zhao Dan's words.

The monarchs and ministers of Zhao State have long been used to being enemies of the whole world.

If everything continues in this orderly manner, the possibility of winning the country of Yan is simply [-]%.

It's just obvious that there are still many people in this world who don't want to see Zhao Guo destroy Yan Guo so smoothly, so when autumn comes, the battlefield finally changes again.

Yan's reinforcements came.

Chapter 821 Yan Kingdom's Reinforcements (First Update)

The ones who came were not from any of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, nor the northern subordinate tribes of the Yan State, but from the Jizi Joseon State on the Korean Peninsula to the east of the Yan State.

Jizi North Korea is a very interesting country.

From the perspective of the Zhou Dynasty, the founding of this country was canonized by King Zhou Wu, the founding emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, and it should be counted among the ranks of the princes of the Zhou Dynasty, that is, a member of "Huaxia's own people".

But the problem is that Jizi North Korea has never fulfilled its vassal responsibilities to Emperor Zhou, and there has never been any contribution to prove that this country accepted the canonization of Emperor Zhou.

Therefore, it seems reasonable to say that it was not a member of the princes of the Zhou Dynasty.

The reason for this entanglement lies in Ji Xuyu, the founding king of Jizi Joseon.

Jixuyu was called Jizi because his title was Viscount.

He was the uncle of Shang Zhou, the last emperor of the Shang Dynasty. He once served as the Grand Master of the Shang Dynasty.

From this point of view, Jizi Korea is actually a country with a history as long as the Zhou Dynasty.

In fact, a few decades ago, Jizi North Korea was once a country that stretched from the west of Liaoxi to the east of the Korean Peninsula, with a territory comparable to that of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period.

However, under the attack of Qin Kai, the general of Yan State, who defeated Donghu, Jizi North Korea lost Liaoxi and Liaodong, and was forced to surrender to Yan State and became a vassal state of Yan State.

However, since then, with the weakening of Yan State, Jizi North Korea's disobedience has naturally grown again. In recent years, he has not paid tribute to Yan State at all, and only maintained peace in name. The relationship between the subjects of Yan State is nothing more than that.

Even so, when Yan State was attacked by Zhao State, Le Jian immediately sent envoys to Jizi North Korea to ask for help from Jizi North Korea.

After all, they are all living and dying, and they have to ask for help when they see anyone.

In this regard, Jirun, the contemporary king of Jizi Joseon, and Prince Jixing had a disagreement.

The monarch Jirun believed that the life and death of Yan State had nothing to do with Jizi North Korea, so he did not intend to rescue Yan State.

Prince Ji Xing believed that once Yan State was destroyed, Zhao State’s soldiers would advance to Pan Manhan, which is the border of Jizi North Korea. Always help Yan Guo resolutely.

But obviously, it is impossible for the young prince to beat his father in such a matter, so throughout the early days of the war, Jizi North Korea has been watching from the sidelines and did not provide any assistance to Yan.

Although he had already heard of Zhao Guo's great reputation, Jizi North Korea had been in the frontier for a long time after all, so he didn't have a very intuitive understanding of Zhao Guo's strength.

In the eyes of most people in Jizi North Korea, including the monarch Jirun, Zhao State is the same as the overlords such as Jin State, Qi State, and Chu State in those days. After all, there will be a day of weakness.

Although Yan is weak, it is still one of the seven great powers, and it will not be wiped out so easily.

But the reality gave Jizi a resounding slap in the face.

Li Mu captures Jidu by surprise, Empress Dowager Yan and King Yan fled to Liaodong, and Le Jian sat in the city of sorrow.

When the news of all this spread to Pyongyang, Jizi North Korea finally began to panic.

All the signs show that the Yan Kingdom is likely to really be destroyed.

Jizi North Korea does not want its neighbor to change from the weak state of Yan to the strongest state of Zhao.

So under the persuasion of Prince Jixing, the monarch Jirun finally agreed to Jixing's proposal and asked him to lead 5 people across Pan Manhan to the outside of Xiangping City.

"Fifty thousand Jizi North Korean army?" Li Mu hesitated somewhat after hearing the news.

Although Li Mu is very confident in his cavalry, the problem is that the combined troops of Jizi North Korea and Xiangping City are three times that of Li Mu's troops.

So under Li Mu's order, Zhao Guo withdrew the encirclement circle of Xiangping City, allowing Ji Xing to lead the army into Xiangping City smoothly, and join forces with the Yan army inside.

For Li Mu's decision, Yi Qusheng was very dissatisfied: "It's just [-] North Korean savages. As long as the armored cavalry charge them, they will collapse. Why are you so cautious?"

Li Mu slowly shook his head: "Jizi North Korea has dealt with Donghu people for many years, and he must have some experience in dealing with cavalry. It would be bad if he attacked hastily. It's better to observe first before making a decision."

For such a country that has never fought against each other, although Jizi North Korea has been beaten by Yan Guo in recent years, Li Mu is still unwilling to take it lightly.
