Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 125
After Yan Wangxi received the letter, he was not too disappointed. The state affairs were so selfish, and Dai Guo refused to send troops in order to protect himself. This was actually not beyond his expectations, and the request for help was just to try.

After all, the Yan Kingdom at this moment is like a drowning person, even if it is a life-saving straw, he wants to try it. If he does nothing and continues, it is only a matter of time before he is attacked by the Qin army.

As for Dai Wang Jia's last proposal, it might not be a solution. The only doubt Yan Wangxi had was whether sacrificing his crown prince would get the Qin army to retreat.

At this time, the arrival of a letter from Ziying contributed to Yan Wangxi's final decision.

The letter was found on the shaft of the arrow that shot and killed the generals of the Yan army. In the letter, Prince Dan's six major crimes were enumerated.

The first is disloyalty: the first to return to the book, and the second to raise troops to fight against Qin. This is also unfaithful.

The second is unfilial: a person who is eunuch from heaven is unfilial if he deceives the ruler and father.

The third is not to be ashamed: it is not shameful to entertain people with the beauty of palace people, regardless of etiquette.

The fourth is inhumanity: violent temperament, if you are prone to it, you will be blamed for this inhumanity.

The fifth unwiseness: Yan Zhixia is unwise to be forced to kill himself.

The sixth injustice: It is unrighteous to lure Jing Ke to assassinate Qin with a false pretense of flattery.

Such unfaithful, unfilial, shameless, unkind, unwise, and unrighteous people should be punished when everyone has it.

In Ziying's heart, the only thing that the Yan Kingdom can look at right now is the Crown Prince Pill. As long as the Prince Pill is removed, the Yan Kingdom will perish.

Although Ziying did not mention the matter of retreating troops in the whole article, in the eyes of Yan Wangxi, who was in a hurry to go to the doctor, it is impossible to say that offering the head of Prince Dan can be exchanged for Qin's retreat.

After all, the reason for Qin Jun's expedition this time was also because of Prince Dan.

Of course, another important reason is that the prince Dan mentioned by Ziying is a man from Tianxie.The most important point of a dynasty is inheritance. If Prince Dan is really a man of heaven, then there is no need for this prince to continue to exist, and he is not the only son.

All the concubines of Prince Pill also followed, Yan Wangxi verified what Ziying said in the letter without much effort, so far Yan Wangxi also strengthened his determination to give up the prince.

Most of the elite of the Yan Kingdom belonged to Prince Dan. Although the King of Yan had the intention of deposing him, he did not dare to do so rashly.

That night, King Yan summoned Prince Dan to a banquet in the name of discussing matters.During the banquet, there was a sense of entrusting the country to each other. With Yan Wangxi's acquiescence, all the civil and military officials also toasted frequently, and Prince Dan was naturally drunk.

Just when Prince Dan was drinking, Yan Wangxi signaled, and saw the two warriors beside him quietly walking behind Prince Dan through the noisy sound of silk and bamboo.

Suddenly, a rope made of beef tendon was wrapped around Prince Dan's neck, and the two of them switched positions, crossed the rope and stretched it tightly to both sides.

For a moment, Prince Dan's face turned red from holding back, his eyes widened and he looked in the direction of Yan Wangxi. He wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, the rope was tightened even more, and he couldn't say a word.

He had no choice but to weakly point his finger at King Yan who was sitting high above, and swallowed his last breath after a while.

Prince Dan was originally the focus of this banquet, and the sudden change made all the officials in the palace a little panicked.

However, looking at Yan Wang Xiping's flat and indifferent attitude, the sophisticated officials also understood in their hearts that this is probably the arrangement of Yan Wang in all likelihood.

After killing Prince Dan, the king of Yan ordered people to cut off the head of Prince Dan and send it to Ziying's army.

However, Yan Wangxi's plan fell through this time. After Ziying received Prince Dan's head, he did not withdraw his troops and returned.

Without the command of Prince Dan, the Yan army was even more unbearable. After several waves of troops were eaten by the Qin cavalry, the Yan army only dared to defend to the death and dared not leave the city easily.

At the same time, the first batch of ships built by Ziying's orders also began to launch, and most of the Qin army crossed the Liao River and set up camp, preparing to launch a final attack on Liaodong.

This is Ziying's plan to capture Liaodong before winter.

…………

"Your Majesty, it's cold outside, you'd better go back inside!" Xue Ji gently put a fox fur on Ziying's body and comforted her.

The snow fell endlessly, and the heavy snow like goose feathers had been falling for three days in a row. It was estimated that the snow accumulation was at least two feet five inches thick.

Accompanied by the heavy snowfall, the temperature in the North Land also dropped sharply. Even in late autumn, the temperature was no different from that of winter.

Most of Qin's soldiers were descendants of Guanzhong, and they had never experienced such a cold winter. At this time, they did not have cotton and down to keep them warm. Only some warm clothes brought by the soldiers could not stop such a blizzard.

"It's not a holiday!" Looking at the snowflakes still falling from the sky, Ziying sighed helplessly. According to the normal weather, there are still two months before winter will enter. During these two months, he He was confident enough to pacify Liaodong, but this heavy snow that arrived early disrupted all his plans.

In terms of adaptability to severe cold, Qin Jun is far inferior to Yan Jun who grew up in the local area.Once the Yan army took advantage of the severe cold to make a surprise attack, the Qin army, which was too cold to stretch, would be considered strong if it could display three or four points of combat effectiveness.

Ziying, who is familiar with Chinese and foreign history, naturally understands that this season is definitely not the time for him to be brave. If he insists on forcing the Qin army to attack, then the [-] Qin army will most likely be able to hate Liaodong.

Leaving aside those who are not familiar, Napoleon, the invincible in Western history, handed over his elite troops to the harsh winter of Russia.

In desperation, Ziying had no choice but to withdraw all the Qin troops who had crossed the Liaohe River.After leaving enough materials to keep out the cold, a small number of troops were stationed on the Liaohe line to guard against the Yan army.

Most of the Qin army retreated to Jicheng, preparing to destroy the Yan in the next spring when the flowers bloom.

At the same time, he reported the current situation of Yan State to Xianyang in detail.

The winter of Qin Wangzheng's 21st year was extremely cold. Even the native Yan people did not move a little under the might of nature, and the honest cat was in the city.

In a blink of an eye, it came to the 22nd year of Qin Wangzheng.

An urgent military report was quickly delivered to King Zhao Zheng of Qin.

"In Xinzheng, some people gathered together to rebel, killing the guards, and opening the treasury. The land of the old Han responded, but the rebels have spread to more than ten cities in ten days, and tens of thousands of troops have marched south."

To the south of Xinzheng is the direction of Ying Chen, who put Han Wangan under house arrest. The intention of the rebels is very obvious. They hope to rescue Han Wangan and restore South Korea under the banner.

At the same time, Wei State heavily stationed troops on the western border to guard against Qin State.Obviously, the change of the old capital of South Korea is inseparable from the state of Wei.

In the Three Jin Dynasty, only the Wei family remained. If Prince Dan hadn't played a trick to assassinate Qin, I am afraid that the next target of Qin's army would be the Wei country instead of the remote Yan country.

The change in the capital of Han was probably instigated by Wei Guo in order to protect himself.
