After all, Ju Xin was a famous general as famous as Le Yi. After seeing the Zhao army's combat effectiveness, he understood that they had been fooled. Without sending a message from the rear, he could guess that there was probably a Zhao army behind them that had cut off their supplies.
Even Ji Xin could guess that the ones who were cut off were Wu Sui and Fang Cheng, but now he thought that it was too late. He had been set up by Zhao Guo, Pang Nuan and Li Mu from the beginning.
What the other party wants is for him to retreat to Yangcheng. The other party does not want to defeat them, but to eat them all!
"Your Majesty, please don't send out an army to save them again!" Ju Xin's first thought was not about himself, but worried that Ji Dan would send out an army to rescue them again to rescue them.
After seeing the fighting power of Zhao Jun, Ju Xin knew very well that the existing army of Yan State could not save them at all. Instead, all the effective forces of Yan State would be defeated by Zhao Army in one battle.
However, when the news that the Yan army was besieged in Yangcheng came back to Jicheng, Ji Dan fell silent. The Yan state could indeed gather a large army to rush to the rescue and rescue the besieged army.
However, Ji Dan thought more, because the intelligence from Handan came back that Le Cheng, who was guarding the Zhao Kingdom in Hexi, was missing. Only Lian Po was still stationed on the border of Zhao and Wei. Therefore, Ji Dan was very suspicious that Le Cheng led the Zhao Kingdom. The armies from Hexi and Hedong were already on their way, waiting for him to send troops to help.
Therefore, Ji Dan did not dare to send troops easily. Even if he sat back and watched an army of 200,000 being surrounded, it would be better than having the entire Yan army swallowed up by Zhao.
If Jin Yao, Lian Po, Pang Nuan and others knew that Ji Dan did not dare to send troops because Le Cheng was missing, they would definitely slap their thighs and miss the opportunity to swallow up the Yan Kingdom.
In front of the army formation, Pang Nuan was also a bitch. He had people set up cauldrons and cauldrons. He cooked sheep and slaughtered cattle in the cauldrons for three meals a day. He also deliberately let the soldiers carry bowls to Yangcheng to relish the food. While eating, he even asked the military commander to calculate the direction of the wind. When and where the wind would hit Chaoyang City, he would cook the sheep, slaughter the cattle, and make rice in that direction to spread the flavor.
Naturally, there was a certain amount of food and grass stored in Yangcheng, which was enough for the Yan army for ten days. However, smelling the aroma of beef and mutton outside the city, and looking at the food in my hands, which was actually not bad, it didn't taste good after all.
Ju Xin knew that food and grass would not last long, and there would definitely be no supplies in the rear, so he divided the ten-day ration into thirty days, but it would eventually run out.
"Damn it, I don't want to fight with such an old guy. I only have ten days of rations, but I've delayed it until the thirtieth day!" Pang Nuan cursed in his heart. The soldiers were enjoying the food, and his heart was bleeding. Ah, these all have to be paid back!
"Pang Nuanshuzi, what do you want?" Ju Xin couldn't bear it anymore. He couldn't hold on any longer. If he held on any longer, without the Zhao army attacking the city, the Yan army would be in chaos and starve to death.
But Pang Nuan, an old guy, just surrounded them without sending anyone to shout out, nor persuade them to surrender, nor attack the city, leaving people completely confused as to what he wanted to do.
"Ah? Didn't I persuade you to surrender?" Pang Nuan was stunned and looked at his personal bodyguards. These were the commander-level bodyguards he hired from the Mo family at a huge price.
"No!" The leader of the Mo family twitched his lips and replied.
"Uh, I'm old, I forgot, I thought you would understand, I went to persuade you to surrender!" Pang Nuan slapped his head, then looked at the drama on the tower in embarrassment and shouted awkwardly, "Old man, really Sorry, I thought my subordinates would know how to persuade you to surrender. I really didn’t mean to leave you alone. Let’s do it this way. I’ll persuade you to surrender right now. You Kaicheng surrenders, and I promise not to kill any of you!”
"Old man!" Ju Xin shouted angrily. He is old and has forgotten. His subordinates don't know. Only a ghost replied. This guy did it on purpose. He calculated the cost of their food and grass to last until today at most.
"The State of Zhao imitated the reform of the State of Qin, with military merits and titles, and decapitation of the head to record the merits. I really think I and I, the warriors of the Yan State, would believe your lies!" Ju Xin was not moved at all.
They also tried to break out, but failed. Zhao State had too many arrows in reserve. They had just opened the city gate, but they had not yet left the city. As soon as the city gate opened, there was a shower of arrows washing the ground, forcing them to retreat. .
Until now, Ju Xin didn't know where Zhao Guo got so many arrows that failed to consume Pang Nuan so much.
"It's okay to insult me, but not the emperor. When did our Zhao country imitate the Qin country? It's clearly the Qin country that is imitating my king!" Pang Nuan was angry. He knew very well that Lian Po and Gongsun Long refused to admit it. They are copying the Qin Dynasty.
"Old man!" Ju Xin didn't bother to argue with Pang Nuan. It was known to the whole world that Zhao was copying Qin. What's the use of sophistry? Facts are facts!
"Next, don't stop Yan Jun from leaving the city!" Pang Nuan turned to look at the general beside him and said.
"Shout outside the city gate every day to persuade them to surrender and ask them to open the city gate!" Pang Nuan ordered again.
"Here!" All the generals nodded, knowing that this battle had reached its final stage, and all that was left was to gather the troops and surrender them.
Zhao Jun shouted at the city every day, and Ju Xin himself had not eaten for several days. He was already dizzy with hunger and could no longer stop the soldiers from escaping.
Every night, groups of organized Yan soldiers put down their weapons and fled, and were captured by the Zhao army.
In fact, they believed in the drama at first and were worried that they would die if they left the city. However, when someone escaped and squatted under Yangcheng City the next day alive, holding a bowl and eating meat, they could no longer bear it.
"The evening festival is not guaranteed!" In a hazy moment, Ju Xin recalled his life. During the reign of King Yan Zhao, he was one of the four heroes of the Yan Kingdom, as famous as Le Yi. When Yan Wucheng became King, he was excluded from the court. He should have understood by then that Yan State no longer needs him.
He should have known it well, so he returned home, raised children and grandchildren, and wrote books. But why did he rekindle his ambition in his later years and end up losing his old age?
A figure appeared in front of Ju Xin's eyes. It was Yan Wangdan. It was he who restrained himself based on the general trend of the world and made him feel helpless. He regained his ambition and walked out of the thatched cottage.
He should have known long ago that he is old and unable to do what he wants. This world is already dominated by young people.
However, Zhao Guo, that Emperor Yao was so disgusting that he actually found an old man as old as himself to lead the army, and defeated himself, leaving him without a chance to even find a reason for his failure. Save.
With this defeat, everything he has done in this life will be in vain. Everyone will think that his reputation is in vain and he is not worthy of being as famous as Guo Wei, Le Cheng, and Zou Yan.
"I told you that when you get old, you should stay at home to raise your children and grandchildren, otherwise you won't be able to guarantee your future, so why don't you listen!" Pang Nuan sighed and walked to Ju Xin.
He finally led the troops to capture Yangcheng without any bloodshed, and captured the nearly 140,000 troops that Ju Xin had gathered again, bringing the war between Yan and Zhao to an end.
