Chapter 210 The country of Yàn is about to stand up
The tentative battle between the two famous generals on the Puyang battlefield is temporarily over. Wang Jian and Pang Nuan on the Qin-Zhao border have also just finished their battle, with both sides suffering small losses.
Zhao camp, the main tent of the Chinese army
"General, today's battle statistics."
Pang Nuan waved the reporter to put down his things. He still stood there and stared at the map of the Three Jin Dynasties, sighing: "Wang Jian sent troops from Taiyuan, and I can't move here."
There is a famous north-south mountain range in the Zhao State, the Taihang Mountains. At present, the Zhao State has been defeated by the Qin State. The main remaining land is the Taihang Mountains to the east, and there is a vast and sparsely populated Daijun in the northwest. On the map In the shape of a long strip.
Wang Jian sent troops from Taiyuan. If he marched straight in, he could attack Lanyu, or he could take the road to Jingxing.
Yanyu is an important hub of Zhao State. The road behind it passes through the Taihang Mountains and leads directly to the barrier of Handan, Wu'an.
Taking the road to Jingxing, it crossed the Taihang Mountains and penetrated into the hinterland of Zhao State, which also had the power to destroy the country.
Therefore, Zhao Yan would definitely send his main force back to defend against the Qin State. He was not really afraid of the Yan State or the Mohist Family. It can only be said that the appearance of the Mohist Family was too coincidental.
Pang Nuan placed the Qin flag and the Wei flag on the Puyang battlefield on the map, followed the Qin army's offensive route, and placed a Zhao flag on the wall.
"Come here, call General Lecheng."
"promise."
He sat at the main seat, spread out the bamboo slips, wrote quickly with a pen, stamped the military seal and put it into a leather tube.
After doing all this, Le Cheng just walked into the big tent.
Le Cheng clasped his fists and said, "General, you are looking for me."
Pang Nuan stuffed the leather wallet into his hand and took Lecheng to the map, "Look, if Yang Duanhe attacks Pucheng, Wei will have to lie down and be beaten if he doesn't want to face Qin in the future. Give full support to Pucheng. Qin and Wei will have a great battle in Puyang.
Wang Jian is sending troops at this moment because Zhao State is unable to send troops to help. I have proposed a plan to the king. I will confront Wang Jian here to confuse the Qin army. Please ask the king to lead an army to attack the wall and cut off the Qin army's retreat. Zhao Wei joined forces to destroy Yang Duanhe."
Lecheng was overjoyed and said, "This plan is very good. I will go back to Handan immediately to ask for the king's orders."
"Pay attention to your hidden whereabouts. There may be Qin spies in Handan City."
"General, don't worry."
In the Qin camp, Wang Jian carefully read today's battle report and boasted to the generals in the tent: "Pang Nuan, this old guy, is indeed extraordinary. The combat effectiveness of the main force of Zhao's army is not weaker than that of our Great Qin."
"General, we have a lot of new troops under our command. If our powerful Qin army really attacks us, Zhao will definitely not be our opponent."
"Yes, the general wants to train his troops this time, otherwise he will be killed without leaving a trace."
"right!"
Wang Jian smiled and said: "We are not seeking victory in this battle. Let us train the new army well. Pang Nuan does not dare to attack me. Where can we find such a great training opponent!"
"Haha, the general is right."
"Strengthening Zhao and training troops will fully show the courage of our Qin Dynasty."
Wang Jian was fighting at home this time. He did not have much logistical pressure to obtain weapons and supplies. His main task was to hold back the main force of the Zhao army, so he fought more recklessly.
Although the Zhao army was fighting at home, firstly, Zhao's strength was weak, and secondly, the transportation was rough, which put Pang Nuan under greater logistical pressure. Facing the mature and prudent Wang Jian, he could only drag out the battle.
…
Yan State, Jicheng Palace
With a happy smile on his face, King Yan summoned his ministers to welcome Prince Dan who had returned from Qin's great achievements.
"This time, the prince pledged to the Qin State, persuaded the King of Qin to send troops to attack Zhao, forced the main force of the Zhao army to withdraw, and rescued the Yan State. It is a great achievement. Yan Dan, you are worthy of being the prince of the poor."
The ministers also congratulated Prince Dan one after another.
Everyone was singing their praises, which made Yan Dan feel very uncomfortable. Sending troops to Zhao State was basically Ying Zheng's plan, and it had nothing to do with rescuing Yan State.
Ying Zheng aims to destroy the Six Kingdoms, and attacking Pu Yan is the first step. He must destroy this plan.
Yan Dan wanted to wait for these idiots to shut up before talking, but she didn't want anyone to interrupt.
"Your Majesty, I think I should send troops to attack Zhao at this time!"
The sharp sound pierced the harmony of the temple just now, and all the ministers closed their mouths knowingly.
General Yan Yi curled his mustache, looked down upon the officials, and raised his hands towards King Yan, "Your Majesty, the main force of Zhao State is being held back by Qin State at this moment. We, Yan State, should seize the opportunity to regain the lost territory. Our Yan State's territory , how can we let it go with the Zhao people!"
"General, Zhao's army is brave, can you win?"
Yan Yi had just been beaten to pieces by Pang Nuan, so King Yan tried his best to speak tactfully.
"Li Mu of the Zhao State is stationed in the north, Pang Nuan and Le Cheng go to confront Wang Jian, and the rest are just unknown people. We, the Yan State, are sharing the same hatred with the enemy at this time, and if we can use our military morale, we will definitely be able to avenge our previous humiliation."
The words of Yan Yi, a despicable person, made King Yan and all the officials a little moved.
Yan Dan immediately objected, "Father, the Qin State is attacking the Wei State at this time. Once Yuan Pu Yan is captured, the three Jin Dynasties will be destroyed by Qin one by one. Where will our Yan State go? By attacking Zhao at this time, we are helping the Qin people. , cannot be done.”
King Yan was already thinking about regaining the lost territory. Hearing Yan Dan's objection, he felt unhappy and said, "The prince is too alarmist. It has been hundreds of years since the Three Jin Dynasties were founded. Qin has been fighting against the Three Jins for many years. How has it ever been seen before?" Destroy the country?"
Yan Dan argued hard, "Qin is the only powerful country in the world today, and the only thing that can make him afraid is the alliance of all countries. Qin's capture of Yuanpuyan is to prevent the three Jins from uniting, and lay the foundation for a war to destroy the country." We can't let him succeed.
I believe that not only cannot we attack Zhao at this moment, but we must also support Wei, promote a coalition to resist Qin, and thwart its plot to move eastward."
Yan Yi stayed away from Yan Dan angrily and said bitterly: "Humph, Zhao State bullied my Yan State, killed my people, and plundered my land. This is a good opportunity for revenge. But the prince wants to abandon our Yan State for the benefit of the three Jins." Ignoring the interests of the country, such intentions are shameless."
Someone stood up and said, "The prince's pledge as a hostage is indeed meritorious, but I cannot agree with this statement. Fortunately, the State of Yan, Qin State, sent troops to help, and the State of Zhao retreated. At this time, we must support the State of Wei and become the enemy of the State of Qin. Wait. How can I, the king, face the world because of his ungratefulness? It is really a foolish move to resist Qin."
As he spoke, he looked at King Yan again and said, "I agree with the general to attack Zhao."
All the ministers said: "I agree with the general to attack Zhao."
Yan Yi bent over and cupped his hands, narrowing his eyes. Seeing Yan Dan's expression, he felt extremely happy.
After retiring from the court, Yan Dan returned to the Prince's Mansion and looked at the case in front of him. The sword he held in his hand did not cut down in the end.
Song Yi flushed and rushed in excitedly, "Your Highness, I heard that our Yan State is going to take the initiative to attack Zhao State?!
Your Highness, will you lead the troops into battle? Don't let that good-for-nothing Yan Yi lead the men of Yan to death again.
If the prince were the general, I would definitely kill one hundred and eighty Zhao dogs.
Prince, Prince? Why are you staring at me?"
Yan Dan roared angrily, "Get out."
Song Yi lowered his head and clasped his fists, "No."
"Come back and invite the leaders of the Mo family over. I have something important to discuss."
"Okay, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
After a while, the six-fingered black man led the leader of the Mo family into the prince's mansion.
Yan Dan has already ordered people to serve food and wine and set up a banquet.
He sat at the main seat with a full glass of Yan wine, and met the six people one by one, "Senior Heixia, leaders, thanks to the Mo family's generous help this time, Yan Dan thanks you all."
He raised his glass with six fingers and drank it all, and said calmly: "Your Highness, there is no need to be polite, the Mohist family is just practicing the principles of the sect."
Yan Dan put down his wine glass, faced Liu Zhi, and said very sincerely: "Senior Heixia, to be honest, Dan has something important to ask of me."
"Speaking."
"I hope that everyone in the Mo family can go to the battlefields of Qin and Wei to stop the war launched by Qin."
Liu Zhi observed Yan Dan carefully and saw his serious look and sincere expression. He stroked his beard and sighed: "I was right when I accepted you as a disciple of the Mohist School. Even if you didn't tell me, I would bring people to stop Qin.
country."
Yan Dan immediately walked to the case, faced everyone, tears flashed in the corners of his eyes, and couldn't help shouting: "Everyone is so righteous, please accept Yan Dan's bow."
The movement stopped midway, and the Six-fingered Black Man used his deep internal strength to stop Yan Dan.
He sat upright and gestured with his hand for Yan Dan to sit back in the seat, "His Royal Highness, you are the crown prince of the Yan Kingdom, and you are also my brother of the Mo family. My brothers of the Mo family will not accept such a great gift."
Xia Fu clasped his fists towards Yan Dan, "Yes, we have accepted His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's wishes, so this big gift is not necessary."
Qin Wuyang, Master Ban, Jing Ke, and Han Shen all clasped their fists one after another.
Yan Dan also paid respect to several people one by one, and then knelt down on one knee, "Juzi, Yan Dan applies to become the leader of the Mohist family. Please agree with Juzi and all the leaders."
The Six-Fingered Black Man turned to the five leaders and asked, "What do you think?"
Xia Fu and Qin Wuyang decisively agreed; Master Ban also agreed; Jing Ke thought for a while and voted in favor; Han Shen had no objection in the end.
Liuzhi nodded, stood up, walked to Yan Dan, tied a "Minggui" rope to him, put one hand on his shoulder, "From now on, you are the leader of the Mo family."
"Yan Dan, I've met the giant, I've met all the brothers."
Yan Dan then invited the Six-fingered Black Man to the front seat and sat down below.
Liuzhi did not refuse, he sat down and began to explain the action: "It will be a difficult challenge to stop the Qin State. The Zhao State retreated because the Qin Army blocked the border. It is not that our Mo family is really that powerful.
This time I will take away most of the Mo family’s combat power in Yan State. I will leave the Mo family’s stronghold in Yan State to you, Yan Dan.”
"Please rest assured, boss."
"Master Ben, how is the repair of the machine beast?"
"It's all been repaired, thanks to the help of brother Yan Dan."
"Okay, then get ready to leave. According to the intelligence, the Wei State worshiped Lian Po as its commander-in-chief and raised 120,000 troops to reinforce Puyang. With Yang Duanhe and Wang Ben, the Qin army had 150,000 to 270,000 troops.
, I don’t know how many casualties there will be in such a brutal battle.”
Yan Dan's face was full of indignation, "The Qin State was violent and sent troops to invade the three Jin Dynasties. The current Qin King Ying Zheng wants to destroy the six kingdoms. His cruel ambition is unprecedented."
"Destroy the Six Kingdoms?"
When everyone heard what he said, they were all surprised.
The countries of Jing Ke, Han Shen, and Wei had been destroyed by Qin general Meng Ao many years ago. They were forced to wander in the rivers and lakes before joining the Mohist family. Now I heard Yan Dan talk about Ying Zheng’s ambition to destroy the six countries, and he was very interested in Ying.
Zheng suddenly felt even more disgusted.
Yan Dan seemed to be recalling what he had seen and heard in the Qin State, lamenting: "The people of the world hate the Qin State so much that they provoke wars and invade other people's territory year after year. The domestic laws are strict and the people's lives are depressing. It can be said that it is a country that accumulates evil.
Very~"
Liu Zhi stopped the possible criticism meeting against the Qin State and ordered: "The Mo family can't handle the affairs of the country, so everyone should go and get ready to go."
"Yes, giant."
Jing Ke originally wanted to ask: Since Qin is so bad, why is Qin the only strong country in the world?
But the boss had given the order, so he had no choice but to keep the problem in his stomach.
Before leaving, he couldn't help but take one more look at Yan Dan.
