Chapter 236 Wang Ben exterminates Yan, the appearance is restrained!
Time flies like a fly, and another year has passed before you know it.
After gradually digesting the territory of Chu State, Ying Zheng set his sights on Qi State and Yan State, hoping to achieve unparalleled achievements in one go.
Chu, Zhao, and Wei have been conquered by Qin one after another, leaving only Yan, Qi, and Chu. The unification of the world is an irresistible trend.
I believe that it won’t take too long before only one country, Great Qin, will be left on this land of nine states.
In Wuchenghou's mansion, Wang Jian looked very intently at the large map hanging on the wall, as if he was deep in thought.
Just two days ago, Ying Zheng summoned him again and wanted him to lead troops to attack Yan State. However, he declined the offer due to his old age and recommended his son Wang Bi.
In order to get the other party to agree, he even took the initiative to relinquish military power.
The reason for doing this is not only to reassure the king, but also to consider the future of the Wang family. It is never a good thing to shock the master with great achievements, and the original Wu'an Lord Bai Qi is a real example.
Perhaps the current king is more magnanimous than King Zhaoxiang, but as long as he still holds the military power, it will be difficult for his children and grandchildren to be truly valued. After all, truly smart people never put all their eggs in the same basket.
From another perspective, this is also a good opportunity.
If this can lead a battle to destroy the country, it will undoubtedly be a huge feat for the generals of the Qin State. Wang Ben destroyed the Wei State before, and although he made a lot of achievements, he is still a little short of becoming a prince.
Therefore, Wang Jian deliberately paved the way for his son to make another great contribution. Compared with Qi, the weak Yan State was naturally an easier target to be conquered.
With the current strength of the Qin Dynasty, if they attack the Yan State, which has few troops, as long as the general's ability is not bad, they will definitely win.
Wang Jian obviously understood this truth, so he gave the credit to his son. On the day of victory, a marquis would not be able to escape.
When he thought of this, a smile appeared on his weathered face...
Ying Zheng always acted vigorously and resolutely. After deciding to send troops to attack Yan, the huge war machine quickly started operating and prepared all necessary work.
After just one month, everything was ready. Wang Ben led an army of 200,000 troops across Zhao, and in less than 20 days, they had reached the territory of Yan.
Seeing this situation, King Yan quickly organized an army to resist the former's attack. However, the disparity in strength between the two sides was too great, and there was not much resistance at all against the powerful Qin.
As a last resort, King Yan had no choice but to ask for help from the State of Qi, hoping that his old enemy could help. After all, no one could survive alone.
But at this moment, Meng Wu led 100,000 soldiers and horses stationed at the border of Qi State, and had the momentum to launch a massive attack if they disagreed.
King Qi was shocked when he saw this, and quickly mobilized the main army to rush away, keeping vigil at all times. He was afraid that the other party would attack directly, and he had no time to worry about anything else.
In this way, under the threat of the Qin army, the Yan State had to face the pressure of Wang Ben and an army of 200,000 alone.
The result is naturally conceivable. After several months of attacks, most of the land of Yan State has been occupied by the Qin army, and hundreds of thousands of troops have also been defeated. I am afraid that it will not take long to be completely occupied.
.
Facing Qin's strong attack, Yan State had almost no ability to resist. One city after another was captured, and it was about to reach the capital.
From an objective point of view, if nothing unexpected happens, the demise of the Yan Kingdom is certain, and it is just a matter of time at best.
King Yan also saw that King Qin was determined to fight another war to destroy the country, so he gathered all his troops and planned to fight to the death.
But in the face of absolute strength, the so-called desperate fight cannot change the final result.
It was seen that the Qin army was divided into two groups. First, Wang Ben led the main army of hundreds of thousands and surrounded the large army of Yan State, making it impossible for them to return for reinforcements.
Li Xin, on the other hand, led tens of thousands of cavalry on a long-distance attack, piercing the heart of the enemy country like a sharp blade. He arrived at Jicheng in just a few days and launched a fierce surprise attack.
The sudden arrival of elite soldiers caught the city defense army of Yan State's capital by surprise and plunged it into a crisis.
At the same time, Wang Bi also completely eliminated the main force of the Yan army, and then two groups of troops and horses launched a siege on Jicheng. However, in just a few days, they broke through the city gate and fought until they entered the palace.
Not only did they capture King Xi of Yan alive, but also seized a large amount of money. The most important thing was that they found the copper box belonging to the Yan Kingdom in the secret compartment of the dormitory.
At this point, the Yan State was officially declared destroyed, and another country surrendered under the iron heel of the Qin army. At this point, the Yan State became the fourth country to be captured by the Qin State after Zhao, Wei, and Chu.
In Xianyang Palace, looking at the gifts sent by Wang Ben, Ying Zheng made no secret of his joy. It was not easy to win so many countries and finally get a copper box.
As expected, a tiger's father has no dog's son. Wang Ben inherited Wang Jian's style in commanding troops to fight, and he was also very prudent and thoughtful in handling affairs. He has become a leader among many generals.
Then he opened his mouth and said: "Wang Ben fought bravely and was commendable for his loyalty. He was specially promoted to the rank of Marquis of Guannei and rewarded with a thousand gold coins!"
…………
With the demise of the Yan State, the pattern of Kyushu changed again, leaving only the Qi State alone, and it was obvious that it would not last long.
But all this has nothing to do with Ye Zhang. At this time, he once again used the Qi Men Manifestation Mental Technique and immersed himself in that strange and magical state.
Since breaking through to the Xuantong realm, he has been able to control Zhong Kui's spirit as much as possible, despite the fact that as a demon-conquering heavenly master, the hostility in his divine nature is still a bit too strong.
If it is used frequently, it may affect the character of the mind, so after some consideration, Ye Zhang decided to try it again to see if he could capture other gods' spirits.
As the manifestation mind method unfolds, the whole person seems to be immersed in another world, with light spots disappearing and appearing, as if intertwined between reality and nothingness.
Perhaps because of the improvement of his realm, everything around him seems to be much clearer in his perception. Although there is still a hazy feeling that cannot be broken through, the imprint left behind becomes more real.
He released his mental power and tried to contact and capture the light spots traveling around him. After the last experience, he would not rush to start again. After all, the spirit of God is not an ordinary thing.
If you choose some evil stars, not only will it not be able to help you improve your strength, but you will also suffer backlash.
