Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Although relying on the strong city wall, Yan Jun repelled Zhao Jun's tide-like offensive many times, but it took only five days for Zhao Jun to have people on the top of the city.

Even though the soldiers of the Zhao army who climbed to the top of the city were quickly killed and repelled, this incident gave all the soldiers of the Zhao army a great encouragement as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and increased the intensity of the siege .

In order to break through the city, the main general Pang Nuan has already made a promise that the first one to attack the city will be promoted to the third rank!

On the Zhao Army's position outside Linle City, hundreds of trebuchets were operating non-stop, and heavy boulders fell from the sky one by one to bombard the battlements of Linle City. In half a year, Zhao Army's siege supplies reached a massive amount. The bombardment of trebuchets has never stopped almost since dawn.

While Le Jian was standing in a daze for a while, at least dozens of boulders appeared in Le Jian's line of sight, and then swished down from the sky. The ground under his feet never stopped shaking like an earthquake. .

Le Jian's personal guards gathered around Le Jian very nervously, and some even brought huge shields.

Le Jian waved his hand, signaling the guards to be safe and calm, and suddenly said to the lieutenant beside him, "How long has Linle City been besieged?"

The deputy general was stunned for a moment, although he didn't quite understand what Le Jian meant by this sentence, he still replied: "It's more than half a year."

"Half a year." Lejian sighed for a long time, and when he spoke, his expression was somewhat desolate and helpless: "For half a year, I was sitting in Lecheng, but I couldn't wait for any country to come. Your helping hand, this is Heaven's plan to destroy my country of Yan!"

According to official historian records: "In the spring and February of the 13th year of the emperor, Yan sent the assassin Jing Ke to assassinate the emperor on the main hall. The emperor was angry and ordered Pang Nuan and Li Mu to attack Yan. In March, Pang Nuan surrounded Linle. In April, Li Mu broke Jidu. Empress Dowager Yan and King Yan went to Xiangping in Liaodong. In September, Prince Ji Xing of North Korea led an army to help. Li Mu killed Ji Xing, broke Xiangping, and captured Empress Yan's mother and son. In October, Pang Nuan broke Linle, and Lejian descended. Yan Since then, the country has died, and the country has lived for 790 years."

Chapter 827 Disposal after the war

After conquering Linle, in addition to leaving some troops to continue to maintain the law and order of Yan State, Pang Nuan led the army of Zhao State to the bustling squadron of Handan.

A grand celebration was held in Handan City, and Zhao Dan personally went on stage to reward the meritorious soldiers. The air in Handan City was once again filled with the smell of wine. This is destined to be another happy autumn for Zhao people.

On this day, Zhao Dan sat in front of the table, looking at a memorial from Le Cheng, the general of Zhao Guonan's army.

There are hundreds of words in this memorial, but in general, there are only two meanings.

First, Zhao Guole knew nothing about Lejian's plan to assassinate Jing Ke, and all contacts with Lejian were carried out under the order of King Zhao Dan to persuade Lejian.

Second, please kill Le Jian, the king!

Looking at this memorial, Zhao Dan thought deeply.

Obviously, it was Zhao Guole and Yan Guole who were doing the cutting.In fact, Le Cheng personally entered the palace to plead guilty on the second day after Jing Ke's assassination. It can be said that the cutting has already begun since then.

This is something that can't be helped, who let Le Jian, the patriarch of the Yan Guole clan, be involved in the assassination of Jing Ke?

Zhao Dan thought for a while, then turned his gaze to Yu Xin: "Yu Qing, you should have read the memorial of General Le Cheng, right? You are Si Kou, let me tell you your opinion."

Yu Xin said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, it is an unforgivable crime for Le Jian to plan to assassinate His Majesty, and he must be punished severely to set an example to others! In my opinion, the three clans should be punished!"

Regarding this opinion, all Zhao Guo ministers immediately agreed.

You must know that these ministers were unaware of Jing Ke's assassination at the beginning, so they were also taken aback.

None of the important ministers of Longtai hoped that Zhao Dan would have an accident at this time, which would not only affect the great cause of Zhao's unification, but also Zhao Heng, the crown prince of Zhao, was still underage, which would also pose a great challenge to Zhao's political stability.

As the saying goes, once the emperor and the courtiers, the new monarch's position means that some of the important officials must step down. This is something that all the important officials in Longtai do not want to see.

Therefore, these ministers hated Jing Ke even more than Zhao Dan himself, and they all wished to smash Jing Ke to ashes in order to relieve their hatred.

Zhao Dan nodded, and said: "Very well, since that's the case, then pass on the order to punish Lejian and its three clans! Anyone with Zhao Guole's family among the three clans will be subject to Si Kou's subordinates, Hu Yiwei, The supervisors and guards jointly review their actions before making a decision, those who are involved in this matter will die, and those who are not involved will be innocent."

As the mastermind behind Jing Ke, Le Jian must die, there is no doubt about it.

If Lejian is not severely punished, then what if other countries come to play this game and make Jingke No. [-] and No. [-] in the future?

Although Lejian also surrendered, Lejian resisted until the last moment after the city was broken, and surrendered after making sure that there was really no chance. It is not the same concept as Xiancheng's surrender.

Zhao Guo killed and injured nearly 3 people in the battle of attacking Linle City.

To sum up, only by severely punishing Le Jian can we deter the minds of other criminals and those who resist to the end, so that the next Jing Ke will not dare to appear, and let all those who are ready to resist to the end know that such a result is only a dead end One!

"By the way, there is also Jing Ke. He was born in Puyang, the state of Wei, right? Puyang is also the territory of the widow now, Yu Qing, you immediately find out the three clans of Jing Ke for the widow, and punish them!"

Whoever wants to kill the widow, the widow will kill his whole family!No, it's the whole family!

After a pause, Zhao Dan continued: "General Le Cheng of the Southern Army Zhonglang is loyal to the country, rewarding a hundred pieces of silk and ten pieces of gold."

As a veteran general of the Zhao State, Le Cheng has made a lot of contributions to the loyalty of the Zhao State for decades. He is an absolute meritorious official. The surveillance guards never found out that Le Cheng was suspected of collaborating with the enemy, so Zhao Dan felt that Le Cheng still needed to be appeased.

Xiangbang Zhao Shengdao: "Your Majesty, Minister Cai Niao and others of the State of Yan should cooperate internally and externally to help General Li Mu take down Jidu. They should be rewarded. I don't know what reward Your Majesty wants to give him?"

Zhao Dan thought for a while and said slowly: "Cai Niao, from the reports submitted by Ju Xin and General Li Mu, after taking down Jidu, he tried his best to cooperate with the two generals to conquer and appease the rest of Yan Kingdom. , I have made great contributions to the widow and the state of Zhao. The widow decided to make him Ping Yanjun, and the rest of the former Yan state ministers who followed Cai Niao's uprising were promoted to one rank!"

If you have done something wrong, you will be punished, and if you have meritorious service, you will definitely be rewarded.It can be said that Cai Niao and his faction of anti-bond ministers of the Yan State made great efforts in this battle. Otherwise, it may still be a question of whether the current Zhao State can break through Jidu, let alone completely destroy the Yan State.

According to a rough estimate, Cai Niao and others saved Zhao Guo at least a year and the casualties of about [-] Zhao soldiers. Zhao Dan believes that it is not an exaggeration to give a king.

And with Cai Niao as an example, then when Zhao Guo conquers other countries in the future, some of the ministers of those countries will definitely choose to surrender. Belonging to the minority, those who have the mentality of choosing a tree for a good bird to live on are the real majority.

"By the way, how is Li Mu's attack on North Korea going?" Zhao Dan asked suddenly.

Lian Po replied: "Your Majesty, Governor Li Mu has already led his troops to conquer seventeen cities in Korea, and according to the latest battle reports, they should be able to encircle Pyongyang within a few days."

Zhao Dan nodded, and said: "I heard that winter in the north will come earlier, remember to let Li Mu pay attention, if you don't have enough time, you can withdraw to Liaodong first, and wait until next spring to send troops."

Today's Jizi North Korea, its territory is about the same as the North Korea of ​​later generations, which is the appearance of the entire northern half of the Korean peninsula.

This place was Chinese territory during the Han and Tang dynasties in history. As a Han nationalist, Zhao Dan definitely wanted to take down this "since ancient times" territory.

In fact, Zhao Dan is not limited to the northern half of the Korean Peninsula. Considering the two cheating countries on the peninsula in later generations, Zhao Dan believes that it is necessary for him to take down the entire Korean Peninsula.

Of course, it's not just the Korean peninsula, which is separated from the Korean peninsula by a sea, and the land that later generations will call Japan must also be taken down.

Not to mention once and for all, those islands are rich in silver mines. The Iwami Silver Mine has been the largest silver mine in the world for hundreds of years. This is definitely not to be missed.

Fortunately, there are only a few backward countries in South Korea, and there are only a group of savages in the Japanese archipelago, so there is no need to rush these things for a while.

Zhao Dan was handling political affairs in the front, and in the harem, Zhao Dan's queen Han Wan was also handling another matter for him.

"It's hard work to travel thousands of miles." Han Wan smiled and looked at the Empress Dowager Yan who was about the same age as herself, and spoke in a very peaceful tone.

The Empress Dowager Yan had a tired look on her face, and there were traces of undetectable sadness in the corners of her eyes. She sat there quietly without saying a word.

Han Wan was not annoyed by Queen Mother Yan's ignorance, but said very gently: "It seems that you don't really want to talk, so I'll come back another day."

Just when Han Wan was about to get up and leave, Empress Dowager Yan suddenly said, "Brother Wang, have you made up your mind?"

Han Wan turned around and took her seat again, then nodded lightly: "Yes, Le Jian and Jing Ke have killed the three clans, and all those who participated in this matter will be copied and beheaded for public display."

A bleak smile flashed across the face of Queen Mother Yan, and she said slowly: "Then what about the old woman and Ke'er?"

Han Wan sighed, and said: "You shouldn't have agreed to let Le Jian plan this matter, you should know that this matter cannot be hidden from the King."

Empress Dowager Yan's voice suddenly became sharper: "But he wants to destroy the Yan Kingdom, that is the Yan Kingdom of the old woman and Ke'er, not Zhao Dan's Yan Kingdom!"
