Soon, Wangcheng treasury reported: "Too... Your Majesty, there are about half of the goods, grain and grass in the Wangcheng treasury. The most are broken weapons, and the least are bows and armors."

The prince waved his hand.

He looked at the solemn looking soldiers.

Without any hesitation, he said directly, "The widow decided to follow Tian Dan Kangyan's example and fight against the isolated city. The city will be bathed in blood, and death will never come sooner."

"I swear to live and die with the king."

The soldiers only waited for this isolated city to be able to resist the Qin army, or bring some troubles to the Qin army.

No one expected that after the victory, the Qin army would take down Jicheng in one go, and then start the bloody battle in Jicheng. However, the figure of Qin army never appeared.

On the city tower, Ji Dan would go up to the watchtower very early every day to gaze into the distance.

Except for the vast expanse of whiteness, there was no trace of Qin Jun at all.

However, just when Ji Dan was stunned, a fast horse galloped from a distance at the gate of the city, and Ji Dan knew that it was the scout he sent out to inquire about the news.

As soon as the city gate opened, the visitors came to the tower quickly.

Ji Dan asked eagerly, "Where is Qin Jun?"

The scout's face turned pale, his eyes were red, and he said, "Prince..."

Ji Dan looked at his face and immediately felt bad, and asked: "What's the matter, tell me!"

The scout went on to say: "Except for Jicheng, there are traces of the Qin army in all four fields. They did not hurt anyone. Not only that, they are also helping the people to survive the cold winter and comfort the people of Yan. There are many rumors in the market that the prince was killed. The king of Xiyan abandoned them, and those people were also abandoned by King Xi of Yan, otherwise, how could there be another king?"

Ji Dan retreated again and again.

One country and two kings, what is the purpose of Ji Xi, isn't it to give Qin an explanation.

To be king is to ask for trouble.

Once Ji Dan became king, Qin State destroyed Ji Dan, and this matter came to an end.

That's why Ji Xi abandoned Ji Dan and the people.

The scout continued: "Nowadays, the entire west of Jicheng is completely paralyzed, and the soldiers in the army have been searching for news about their families for the rest of their lives, trying to return home at any time, while those who are healthy are busy with their fellow villagers. Before that, the Liaodong hunting cavalry left behind by King Xiyan also felt homesick and asked for orders to return to Liaodong."

These things.

In fact, Ji Dan knew it all in his heart.

Not to mention outside Jicheng, even inside Jicheng, this is the case, because of this, he ordered the four gates to be blocked, and no one can go out.

In fact, after Ji Xi withdrew, the merchant brigade in Jicheng had disappeared, and it was also forced to teach people to wait for death. In wartime, everything is easy to say. Back then, Tian Dan stood firm in the isolated city of Jimo, and saw the Yan army digging Qi people outside the city. Didn't Tian Dan also strictly order Qi people not to leave the city for the ancestral graves?

But at the moment, the Qin army doesn't come, and if the Qin army doesn't come, there will be no war.If there is no war and the people are tied up in the city, it is tantamount to cutting off the people's idea of ​​making a living by themselves.

There is no doubt that the hearts of the people in the city will mutiny.

This is different from the siege of Handan and Jimo.

It belongs to insisting that the people go to the battlefield.

Ji Dan looked away from Luoxue, and suddenly shouted, "The people of Zhou are kings and virtuous, I would rather destroy the remaining veins of my Lord Zhao!"

As soon as Ji Dan finished speaking, he fell down like a stone figurine in the boundless wind and snow.

……

Yishui Camp.

It was already freezing cold, except for being ordered by Su Jie to appease the surrounding fields, the Qin army did not mobilize troops to attack Jicheng at all.

In the war of subjugation, there will inevitably be countless casualties.

For the Qin State, since the chances of victory are within their grasp, there is no need to take the next step, fight to the death with the Yan State, and one more person will die, this is what Su Jie and Ying Zheng do not want to see.

The blood of the old Qin people is warlike, but it is not for the sake of sacrifice for no reason.

Every soldier's life is precious.

The brazier was lit to disturb the coldness in the tent, and the warm wine was ready, Su Jie let all the soldiers drink freely, the cheers were very different from the sadness of Jicheng.

Wang Jian said: "General, Yi Shui, our army has won a great victory, Wang Jian has lived up to his mission, and the follow-up campaign will be handed over to the general."

Su Jie picked up the wine bottle first, and said: "Everyone, first follow me and respect Wang Ben for a bottle."

It can be said that Wang Ben contributed a lot to breaking Yishui this time, and he easily won the Yishui camp.

Let Ji Dan escape back after a narrow escape.

However, of its 40 troops, less than [-] fled.

It can be said that the main force of Yan State was completely wiped out.

Wang Ben said: "The last general dare not claim credit!"

Laughing loudly in the tent, Su Jie said: "Wang Ben, brother is very pleased!"

731 Chapter Jidan Conspires to Rebel against Heaven and Exterminate Zhao Gong's Remnants

At the beginning, when Wang Ben and Su Jie met for the first time, Wang Ben was still quite immature at that time, and there was no distinction between superiority and inferiority in front of Su Jie, but it is different now. He was no longer the boy he used to be.

Su Jie asked: "The Kingdom of Yan is divided into two kings, and Ji Xi's intentions do not need to be elaborated. The ancient Kingdom of Yan has survived in name only. proper?"

What Su Jie asked was appropriate.

It means that we have won this battle, but after all, Changbai Pass is still in Liaodong, where tigers and dragons are at the top, and a large number of Yan people will find ways to escape to Liaodong.

Moreover, even if they want to fight to Liaodong, they must pass through Jicheng.

In other words, this battle in Jicheng was inevitable.

The mourning soldiers, the lonely city, must die. Jicheng has occupied all these points, and it is not a big or small obstacle to Qin.

Su Jie looked at Wang Ben again, and said with a smile, "General Wang, do you have any suggestions?"

Wang Ben, as the general who made the greatest contribution, naturally has a say more than others.

Wang Ben drank the wine in a big gulp, and immediately saluted: "Yan Wang is happy, it's okay to slow down, but the so-called Xiyan Wang Jidan must be eliminated!"

Wang Ben's words were extremely firm.

Su Jie smiled and said, "Then do you have a plan?"

Wang Ben continued: "Soldiers who subdue others without fighting are soldiers of the highest rank. Now, the soldiers of the people of Yan State are mourning all over the country, and they have no strength to resist. If they borrow the hands of one person, they can be defeated without a single soldier." One pawn, take Jicheng."

The fire in the field shone on the faces of the soldiers.

This is the best and most appropriate method without spending a single soldier.

Su Jie smiled and said nothing, just said: "Great kindness!"

Li Xin immediately looked at Wang Ben and asked, "General Wang meant to use Ji Xi?"

Li Xinbing likes to take risks, but he is also a general. As soon as Wang Ben's words fell, he immediately named the key points.

Even Xin Sheng and the others understood.

Wang Ben said: "That's right, Marquis Wu, our army can put pressure on King Xi of Yan in Liaodong, and force him to hand over Ji Dan. Once Ji Dan dies, the whole city of Ji will suddenly have no intention of resisting, and our army can drive in." In the city, Jicheng is the capital of our Qin Kingdom."

Su Jie asked: "Forcing King Yan to be happy? It's a solution, but how do you know that Ji Xi will compromise with Qin?"

Wang Ben immediately said: "General, the last general is expected. One of the reasons is that everyone in the world knows whether the King of Yan likes Ji Dan. Back then, Ji Dan fled back to the country of Yan, so he deliberately sent her back. Qin State, if Ju Wu hadn't stopped it, I'm afraid Ji Dan would still be a hostage today. It can be seen that Ji Xi's ambition is Gou An, and he would not dare to be an enemy of Qin. It must be tantamount to giving up Ji Dan and using Ji Dan to appease the anger of the King of Qin. Once Ji Dan died, Jing Ke's assassination of Qin would be regarded as an explanation to the Qin State, hoping to bring this matter to an end. Although Dan didn't say it, he must know his father's intentions in his heart. The father and son are completely inseparable. How can it be possible for one country and two kings to survive? In this way, why don't we use Ji Xi's intentions to destroy it? Ji Dan."

Everyone nodded greatly.

Xin Sheng couldn't help being excited and said: "Ji Dan is the mastermind of the assassination of Qin, Qin must want to take Ji Dan's head and then act quickly, and if Ji Xi protects Ji Dan again, it is really at odds with Qin. The Qin State can use this as a threat to let Ji Xi weigh the pros and cons, otherwise, we will raise our troops and fight against each other."

"That's right, if I wait to do this, maybe it's exactly what Ji Xi wants."

"This old king is really cold-blooded!"

The soldiers in the tent spoke one after another, and in their words, they really disdain such King Yan.

Li Daoxin: "The general understands. At the beginning, I didn't know why the general wanted to release Ji Dan. If he didn't let him go, even if Ji Xi intended to return to Liaodong, if he did so, the common people would be cold-hearted and the world would despise him. Now, this Ji The west of the city was handed over to Ji Dan, no matter what happens in the future, it's all Ji Dan's fault, it's really treacherous, this old king is a bit quick-witted."

It doesn't matter whether Ji Dan surrenders or loses ground.

It doesn't matter to Ji Xi, it's all Prince Dan's fault.

He was also the mastermind of assassinating Qin, no wonder he wanted to make Prince Dan the King of Dongyan.

The shogunate gathered generals and immediately agreed on a plan to deal with the Yan Kingdom. They wanted to take down Jicheng without bloodshed. As for King Yan behind Changbai Pass in Liaodong, that was the last step.

Under the freezing weather.

Although there was no more gunpowder on the battlefield, the invisible arrow in the back had already been sent out by Qin again.

A team of special envoys from the State of Qin rushed to Liaodong along the road.

Along the way, many people froze to death and were abandoned by the roadside.

You can see it in three miles, and you can see the burned bones in ten miles, and the pair of small horses and horses marching numbly to the west.

A month later.

Into deep winter.

Even so, under Yan Wangxi's arrangement, Changbai Pass did not dare to stop at all, especially after seeing Qin's bravery, soldiers, and common people moved more swiftly under the wind and snow to carry the repaired wood and stone.

I can't wait until the spring is warm and the flowers bloom, so that I can resist the Qin army who is about to kill him at some point.

The messenger looked up and saw the white snow and the towering Changbai.

The mountain is full of black human heads.

The people of Yan State who fled from western Liaoning will join them once they enter the pass.

In a gorge, there stands a huge closed gate, which can be seen from a distance, and there are soldiers commanding, transporting, and handling equipment there.

The envoy said: "If this pass is successful, I'm afraid it will revive Yan Kingdom."

Relying on Hangu Pass, Qin State resisted five joint verticals, Yan State wanted to follow suit, and opened up a road between the majestic Changbai, with overlapping passes, like a snake entrenched in it.

At first glance.

Break through the first level and it's useless at all.

Because it is like a snake, it breaks the first door, and there is another behind it, breaks the second door, and the crossbows of various organs are cleverly placed above the level.

When the rock fell, Lei Mu was caught by a huge pocket, stretching over the edge of the entire checkpoint tower.

And in the middle of the huge corridor, there is a huge gap, from below, you can see the sky.

However, here is to prevent the enemy from attacking the city, so that the soldiers on the tower can pour boiling oil and flint here.

If someone climbs the city, as long as he cuts it off with a sword, it will be a rolling stone, and the thunder wood can hit the enemy climbing the building.

The slowly interlocking Xiongguan Pass, in this way, is really the only one in the world, and it is even worse than the layout of Hangu Pass.

The Qin envoy immediately said: "Enter the customs!"

The envoy of Qin State appeared, and the Yan people stopped one after another.

One by one looked at them with resentful eyes.

The people of Qin didn't look sideways, and were led directly to a hastily built and unfinished palace behind Xiongguan.

And Yan Wangxi learned that it was the Qin people who came.

The depression in Jicheng has long since disappeared, but he greeted him personally with a smile on his face.

in the hall.

Qin envoy said: "Foreign minister, I have seen King Yan!"

The officials of Yan State looked at the envoys of Qin one by one. They heard from the common people that Qin State did not attack Jicheng. Now, they have traveled thousands of miles to Liaodong. What is it?

Ji Xi said: "Don't dare, I'm the king of Xiyan now!"

The envoy of Qin smiled slightly on his forehead and said: "In my state of Qin, I only know that King Yan is happy, but I don't know King Xiyan. Since the spring and Autumn period, how can there be a system of one country and two kings!"

Seeing Qin envoy say so solemnly.

Yan Wangxi couldn't help but his expression changed drastically. In other words, Qin Guo still wanted to trouble him?

However, as the King of Yan, he naturally couldn't appear a little frightened, so he asked directly: "I don't know, what is the reason for the envoy's coming today?"

The envoy of Qin came to Jishou and said: "The foreign minister was ordered by Marquis Wu to come to pay a visit to King Yan! I want to send documents to King Yan! King Yan will see for himself!"

All the officials were startled.
