According to Wang Jian's order, the Liaodong Hu people who participated in the rebellion stopped the war. Zhao Kuo released a lot of prisoners in the war with Yan State, which made the Liaodong Hu people respect and love Zhao Kuo very much.
, later, when Zhao Kuo fought with Wei Wuji's coalition forces outside Hangu Pass, he released another group of Hu people. These people saw the Hu generals in the Qin army who had risen through the ranks due to their military exploits, and they began to attack Qin.
I also have an inexplicable yearning.
Even Yan Dan's enlightenment teacher Ju Wu said: When the barbarians in Liaodong meet, they always ask if Qin's army has arrived in Liaodong. The idea of rebellion can no longer be contained, and they must find a way to eliminate them in time. He originally
He deliberately led the rebels to death, most of whom were barbarians who could not survive. He used this method to weaken the rebel forces in the country.
People are probably always like this. They never see their own problems, nor do they look for the reasons from themselves. Instead, they see the problems of others quite thoroughly. The State of Yan has long seen the problems of these barbarians, but they
But I wonder why the Qin State, which has a large number of barbarians in its territory, and the Zhao State, which occupies the Linhu and Yunzhong areas, will not encounter such a thing?
The Yan State was not without its smart people. Huo once asked this question: Why did the Qin State with more Hu people and the original Zhao State not have such a situation?
The Yan people learned from the pain and finally found the reason. This is because the Hu people in the Yan State are more ferocious than the Hu people in other places... although the vast majority of the Hu people in the Yan State are farmers engaged in farming.
When the military merit system was first implemented in the Yan State, these barbarians were very happy and thought they had seen hope. They began to bravely participate in the war and wanted to change their current status. However, when they finally found out that they had been deceived, they
There was no way to endure it anymore. After Wang Jian gave the order, Ke returned to the Hu people and read Qin's order. Qin would not hold them responsible.
The State of Qin requires them to end the war from now on and return home to work peacefully! The State of Qin will provide certain seeds and agricultural tools!
The State of Qin will soon conduct an examination. People who are familiar with the law can take the examination and become officials, regardless of whether they are barbarians or not!
Qin exempted them from taxes for one year!
Every time Ke mentioned something, the Hu people cheered. The Qin people they had been thinking about day and night had finally arrived. They would no longer have to face the unfair treatment of the Yan State, and they would no longer have to face the miserable life of the past.
! Ke particularly emphasized that the war has passed, and the next thing must be left to the Qin people. On the way back, you cannot burn, kill, loot, and walk home with your head down. You must cherish this hard-won hope.
!
Afterwards, Ke took the Hu people from all over the country and began to return to his hometown. The siege of the Yan Kingdom ended in one day. The Hu people gave up the siege and returned each other, leaving here smiling. The Yan Kingdom on the city wall
The soldiers were confused and cheered one after another, but the faces of the generals were not very good. They knew in their hearts what the retreat of the barbarians meant. It meant that a more powerful enemy was coming here.
At this time, Yan Wangdan also received the news, and the ministers present said seriously: "While the Qin people have not surrounded the city, they should abandon this place and flee elsewhere."
"Escape to where?"
"It seems that the Qin people have dismissed the Hu people in Liaodong, so why not just go north and flee to Donghu..."
"Donghu? It would be worse to fall into their hands than to fall into the hands of the Qin people!"
The ministers argued for a long time, but could not come up with a solution. Yan Dan looked at them arguing endlessly, and he was almost desperate, but a face appeared in his mind, that was his minister Luo. Before Luo left,
, holding his hand, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, it's hard to say whether I will survive this expedition. If I can't come back, you can retreat to the royal capital and find the right time to break out. It's best to avoid Donghu. I
I visited many places. There are coastal areas north of Liaodong, which are suitable for farming and building cities. You can hide there!"
Yan Dan suddenly raised his head and looked at his ministers.
"We left the Royal City, avoided Donghu, and headed to the northeastern coast of Liaodong..."
The ministers were all a little surprised, but since King Yan spoke, they naturally had no doubts. The current situation in Yan State is very bad. There are not many ministers around King Yan who can handle various affairs well. Before King Yan issued an order
After giving the order, the few remaining incompetent generals quickly left the royal city with their soldiers, and King Yan Dan was among them, and quickly fled from here.
In fact, at this time, Wang Jian had already brought his main force to the outside of the royal city, but did not launch an attack. He was just thinking about whether he could force the Yan people to abandon the city and flee... Sure enough, just as Wang Jian thought, when the Hu people
After retreating, the Yan State abandoned the city and chose to flee... Because the pressure brought by the 200,000 Qin troops was too great, the Yan people could not refuse to defend and had no choice but to flee. Wang Jian then issued the order in a leisurely manner.
Ordered.
At that moment, the Qin army launched attacks and pursuits from all directions. Wang Jian commanded an army of 200,000 at the same time and began to advance on a front line of thousands of miles. This has always been Wang Jian's specialty. Wang Jian pressed the army
The captain's formation was immediately spread out, instantly arranged on every piece of land on the border of the Yan Kingdom, and then began to attack in an orderly manner, cooperating everywhere, and advancing continuously.
The situation in the Yan Kingdom is still a bit complicated. Some places have been captured by the Hu people, so there are no officials or troops here. The people are hiding at home in fear. The Qin people can directly occupy them, while some cities are still there.
In the hands of the Yan people, it was necessary to attack the city to capture it. The Qin State's advancing armies looked a bit chaotic and fell behind, and the coordination between them was extremely ugly.
This is definitely the worst Qin army that Wang Jian has ever seen... Those new Qin people are so new that they don't even look like Qin people. They don't know how to cooperate with each other, and they can't understand military orders, and the commander-in-chief
They were followed by some young people. These young people had never seen such an army before, and they suddenly became at a loss. Facing the army that they could not command, they became furious and incompetent.
Of course, not everyone is like this. Young men like Meng Tian, Li Xin, and Wang Ben stand out among a large number of young generals...Wang Ben was the first to take control of the entire army. Meng Tian and Li Xin
Immediately afterwards, they were able to fulfill Wang Jian's orders very well. Whether it was pursuit or siege, they did a very good job. They were deeply loved by the soldiers. This war was more like a military training and training exercise for the Qin State.
Train general.
Fortunately, their opponent was the weakened Yan State. The two sides could be said to be equal in chess, evenly matched, and novices were fighting each other... In short, the Yan State defenders fought to the death with these Qin State's new troops, and the fight was back-and-forth.
, although most of the time it ended with the defeat of Yan State, this did not have much impact.
At first, King Yan's army was very happy, because there was no Qin pursuing army behind them, and they carefully fled towards the northeast. At this time, Wang Jian's men were still fighting with the defenders from various places, and the progress was very slow.
, but after going through this for a period of time, the Qin State began to advance faster and faster... There was almost nothing that could stop their advance.
The cooperation between the soldiers is getting better and better, and the young generals are slowly knowing how to control their armies.
Wang Jian knew this very well, because he felt that his orders were being implemented better and better... Qin State continued to encroach on Yan State's territory, and Yan State's very tall and solid cities did not exist at all.
How long can it last? However, King Dan's army of Yan continued to shrink on the way to Liaodong. There were a large number of deserters. The morale of the soldiers was low and there was not enough food and grass. Some people even wanted to capture King Yan and offer them to Qin.
Although it failed, the impact was still huge.
The Yan Kingdom is going to perish. This is a fact that everyone can understand.
Within two months, all the cities in the Yan Kingdom except Liaodong fell. Wang Jian easily captured most of the areas in the Yan Kingdom. He left the garrisoned troops behind while the others turned their targets and launched an attack on Liaodong.
..
Li Xin is riding a horse and is heading towards Zaoyang City in the Yan State. This is where the Great Wall of the Yan State is located. If he continues on his way, he will enter Donghu's sphere of influence. This city is of course also the Yuyang County of the Yan State.
The last survivor, Li Xin, led an army of only more than 20,000 people. Including Meng Tian and Huan Jue on both sides, the number of Qin people heading in this direction was about 50,000 or 60,000.
The other generals have already launched attacks towards Liaoxi County and Liaodong County.
Li Xin frowned. There was also competition among the three generals who went to Zuoyang this time. They all led similar armies, and whoever could conquer Zuoyang first would of course be more capable.
, Among young generals, there is quite a lot of competition like this. After all, we are all arrogant young people, and no one is willing to bow down. As long as they are not compared with that monster who got the title of king in his early twenties,
Li Xin doesn’t take anyone else seriously!
Of course the other young generals thought the same way. Although they all wanted to capture Zaoyang, they did not dare to move forward at full speed...for fear that they would consume too much energy and not be able to attack the city. The generals wanted to test their skills.
Of course there is such an atmosphere in the army, and Li Xin directly told his soldiers that as long as we can capture Zaoyang City first, General Wang Jian will personally reward us!
These new Qin people were originally beaten and bullied on the battlefield, but since they became the Qin army, they defeated the Yan army and abandoned their armor. They had never fought such a happy battle. Under the influence of the generals,
Then, they gradually became fanatical and began to actively pursue military glory. In two months, they changed from a new Qin people who did not look like the Qin people to an old Qin people who only wanted to behead people.
The desire for fighting even exceeded that of the old Qin people, and Wang Jian didn't quite understand the reason for this.
But Zhao Kuo knew that this was called fanaticism among converts.
Just like those Chinese who became nationals of other countries in later generations tend to treat their compatriots more harshly, just like how a Chinese candidate from another country publicly stated that he was ashamed of being Asian.
When the army rushed towards Zaoyang in a mighty manner, the scouts suddenly brought news that a large number of cavalry appeared in front, and it was unknown who they were. This news made the Qin army stop in a hurry, including Li Li.
The generals including Xin all ordered to stop the attack. Yan State still has large-scale cavalry? What is going on? Li Xin asked the soldiers to prepare for battle, and then led a group of knights to explore the situation ahead.
Soon, Li Xin saw the enemies gathered in the distance. The enemies seemed to have discovered his traces. They stagnated and were thinking about something. These were not the Yan people's cavalry, they were the Hu people's cavalry.
I saw them wearing fur clothes, riding horses, looking curiously at the army in the distance. They had no formation and looked very chaotic. They seemed to have captured many slaves and killed many people.
.
There were several heads hanging on their waists. These people were shouting loudly, trying to intimidate the enemies in the distance.
"These are... Donghu people?" Li Xin could tell the identity of the other party at a glance. In this area, the only people who can gather cavalry of this size are probably the Donghu people. On the other side, the leader of Donghu
, looking at the sudden appearance of the army in the distance, he was also a little confused. He heard that there was a rebellion within the Yan Kingdom, so he brought the knights here, just to take a bite of flesh from the Yan Kingdom while he was weak.
Things went smoothly. They easily crossed the Great Wall without encountering any resistance. Yan State was unable to protect itself, and of course there was no way to deal with it. They happily plundered several cities within the Great Wall, including Zaoyang.
After tasting the benefits, they wanted to continue going south to get more benefits. The leader of Donghu was a sickly young man, which made people wonder how he could convince those fierce and aggressive tribesmen.
.
The young man looked at the enemy in the distance, waved his hand, and a "Donghu" man ran up to him with a smile.
"Why are those people opposite wearing black clothes? Are they not Yan people?"
"Your Majesty, they are not Yan people, they are Qin people. I don't know why the Qin people are here."
"The people of Qin...the people of Qin...are the country of the saint who made the fire bed?"
"Well...he's not a saint...but you're right, it's the country he lives in."
The young man laughed and said: "Okay, you go and tell those people across the street that because of the saint, I am not willing to hurt them and ask them to allow me to plunder for three days. I will never hinder their affairs and plunder."
Then leave."
The Donghu man nodded, asked for a horse, and charged in the direction of the Qin people. The Donghu leader squinted his eyes, watched him leave, and said to the few cavalrymen around him: "Let the leaders of each department hurry up.
Time, escape with supplies and slaves... Tell them not to alert the enemy, and get out of here quickly... I will find a way to delay time."
ps: Sorry, brothers, it's a little late today. To be honest, Lao Lang's life has been a bit hard during this period and he has encountered a lot of troubles. I am also working hard to solve these things. There will be another chapter later.
Sometimes I go back and read the book reviews for each chapter. When I see those interesting chapters, I feel a lot better when I see everyone staying with me. Thank you Ersanzi.
