The consequences of being unable to hide are actually quite terrifying.

In the final analysis, the most important reason why the soldiers fought desperately on the front line was that they still defended Linle City even though they knew they were not opponents of Zhao. Of course, the most important thing was that they were trying to defend their country.

Defend the country and defend the country, which proves that in the hearts of most people, family is actually more important than the country.

Pang Nuan actually told a small lie here. Although Ji is broken, most of the land in Yan State is actually still in the hands of the Yan State people.

If Pang Nuan was telling a pure and fake lie, then Lejian could easily expose it. But now Pang Nuan told a lie that is both true and false, which made Lejian extremely difficult for Lejian to expose this lie.

In fact, Lejian was unable to expose this lie because the damn Jidu seal was true. Lejian knew that the generals and officials who lived in Jidu all year round also knew about it.

Whether it is home or not, all the generals of Yan State will have a feeling that their home has fallen, and their families may have been trembling under the sharp blades of the Zhao people, facing the burning, killing, and looting of the Zhao people, and may even have become corpses!

War is to defend the country. Now that the family is gone, the country is only one city left.

What else can I fight?

Fortunately, there was still a certain reputation in the music scene. With his soft and hard work, the generals and officials who came to protest finally returned to the camp.

But the news has spread, and the entire Linle City has become panic, as if the doomsday has come.

Compared to the panic in Linle City, the Zhao Palace in Handan City is laughing and laughing at this moment.

All the Yan State were captured, and this incident shocked other countries, while those who brought Zhao State were excited.

You should know that Jidu, as the capital of Yan State for hundreds or thousands of years, has a very symbolic significance.

Once Ji falls, the confidence of the military and civilians of Yan State will definitely be extremely heavy.

In addition, from a military perspective, the fall of Jidu means that Lejian in Linle City has completely lost his retreat and has become an isolated army without reinforcements in the encirclement of Zhao State.

"Even if I am trapped on it for a few years, I can still trap it to death!" This is what Zhao Dan said to several important officials in Longtai.

Of course, Zhao Dan did not want Linle City to become the second Jimo City, nor did he want to see Yan State, which is now in a desperate situation, becoming the second Qi State to turn the tables in desperate situations.

Therefore, Zhao Dan specifically explained in his will to Pang Nuan that if the city cannot be captured, then he will be trapped to death!

Like Le Yi did back then, the strange behavior of siege of the city was obviously a besieged but allowed the military and civilians of Jimo to go in and out of the city to hunt and chop wood was absolutely not allowed.

After losing Jidu, Yan State was half destroyed. After the 200,000 Yan State's only army in Linle City was destroyed, Yan State could declare its complete destruction.

"Is there still no news about Empress Dowager Yan?" Zhao Dan asked.

Zhao Dan always felt a sense of concern from the heart of his own sister of a mother, even after learning that Jing Ke's assassination of himself was inevitable, Empress Dowager Yan nodded.

This may be one of the few things that King Xiaocheng left behind by Zhao. After all, as a time traveler, Zhao Dan actually had little feelings for Empress Dowager Yan, the "ancient man".

In fact, all the ministers of Zhao State were very concerned about the whereabouts of Empress Dowager Yan and his son. Although whether the mother and his son were captured in Handan did not actually affect the result of Zhao's destruction of Yan, if the Empress Dowager Yan and his son could be brought back to Handan and let the young King of Yan become the second Wei Zeng, this would have a strong demonstration effect for the remaining four countries.

When the war reached this point, the decision-makers of Zhao State had already begun to consider the next goal.

Although it only destroyed a country in Wei, everyone's mentality seemed to change suddenly.

If there was still a little bit of suspicion in the hearts before, when Wei Zeng knelt down in front of Zhao Dan in front of the other five kings, no minister suspected that Zhao would unify the world.

Chen Danran said one thing well: "Those who do not plan for the whole world are not enough to plan for a while; those who do not plan for the overall situation are not enough to plan for a territory." The current ministers of Zhao State are from the perspective of the overall situation and hope that Zhao Dan can keep Empress Dowager Yan and his son a way out.

This made Zhao Dan a little amused: "Does I look like a bloodthirsty and ruthless tyrant? Why do you all think that I will definitely execute Empress Dowager Yan?"

Zhao Sheng coughed and said, "The king, the ministers and others are mainly worried that the actions of the Yan people have angered the king, so..."

Zhao Dan yelled and said, "I am not that stingy yet. After all, she is my relative. If she spared her life and could help me in my future unification, then I would not disagree."

Just as Zhao Dan and others were talking about the topic of Queen Mother Yan, the young Queen Mother Yan took her young son through thousands of miles of escape, passed through most of the Yan Kingdom, crossed Wulu Mountain and crossed the Liao River, and came to Xiangping City in Liaodong County.

Here, Empress Dowager Yan and his son finally stayed temporarily for the first time and got a chance to breathe.

The thousands of miles of running around made the Empress Dowager of Yan look a little tired, and even made her noble and beautiful face look much rougher. However, when she sat there quietly, the county magistrate of Liaodong County, facing her, still felt a great pressure. She couldn't help but lower her head, and even her tone seemed much humble when she spoke.

Empress Dowager Yan asked at the county magistrate in front of him: "How many soldiers are there available in Liaodong County now?"

The county magistrate hurriedly replied: "When I go back to the Empress Dowager, there are still three thousand people in the city. If all the people are collected, then eight thousand armored men should be able to be organized."

"Eight thousand?" Empress Dowager Yan frowned. To be honest, this number is actually a drop in the bucket.

When the county magistrate saw the sword in the hand of the Yan court guard general standing next to Empress Dowager Yan, he seemed to be about to be unsheathed, and hurriedly shouted: "The Empress Dowager is not a deceiving the Empress Dowager. It is because the King Chang had already drained all the troops in Liaodong County before. Now there are only so many soldiers!"

After hearing this explanation, the expression on Empress Dowager Yan's face seemed to have improved a lot. After a moment, he said: "You remember, and immediately recruit all the young and strong men from the civilians to Xiangping to help defend the city. The Zhao army will arrive today, and time is extremely precious."

The county magistrate responded in a hurry, his small eyes turned a few times, and suddenly said, "Empress Dowager, I heard that the king is in good health. I wonder if I can let me visit the king?"

Empress Dowager Yan narrowed her eyes and stared at the confidant in front of her. A ray of light flashed through her phoenix eyes and said slowly: "Who says the king is in good health?"

Drips of sweat slid from the county magistrate's forehead. He coughed dryly and said, "Since that's the case, I must have misunderstood. I've taken my leave and completed what the Empress Dowager ordered."

The county magistrate's mansion has become a temporary palace for the King of Yan and the Queen Mother, so the county magistrate had to leave the palace with his wife and children and go to another house in the city to live.

There, a spy envoy from Qi State was waiting for news from the county magistrate.

"How is the situation?"

The county magistrate shook his head and said for a long time: "The King of Yan is already sick and looks very sick."

The envoy of Qi snorted and said, "Who should care about the child's condition? What my king wants to know is whether the Ji is now falling!"

The county magistrate wiped his sweat and said, "Ji must have fallen. I just got the news that the traces of the Zhao brigade of cavalry appeared in Liaoxi County. I am afraid that Li Mu will chase him here in a short while."

After receiving this news, the envoy of Qi shook his head in disappointment and said, "I didn't expect that Yan State is so useless and I can't hold on for a year!"

The county magistrate cursed in his heart, but now he still has something to ask for, so he can only smile at the messenger of Qi: "What the messenger said is very true. This is a man with great ambition and talent, which is really..."

"Enough." The envoy interrupted the county magistrate impatiently and said, "Since that's the case, the action to aid Yan State will be terminated. I will bring the remaining supplies back to Linzi by sea tomorrow. You can ask for more blessings."

The county magistrate hurriedly stretched out his hand and placed an extremely exquisite small box in the hands of the envoy of Qi State. He laughed and said, "Empress, the State of Yan is about to collapse. I want to take my family and young to the country of Qi State. I wonder if the envoy can help?"

The envoy of Qi opened the box and took a look, then nodded with great satisfaction, and said, "Although the ship is not big, there are still some empty seats. Let's set off at midnight, remember!"

The county magistrate watched the Qi envoy walk out arrogantly and couldn't help but spit.

If it weren't for escaping to Qi State, the county magistrate would have someone to kill this guy and feed the dog immediately.

The next moment, a scream suddenly sounded outside the door. The envoy of Qi who had just walked out retreated step by step. The tip of the sword that emerged from his heart was extremely conspicuous in the eyes of the county magistrate.

The county magistrate widened his eyes and looked at the Qi envoy in front of him and fell to death. He also looked at the Yan Imperial Guard General who had just stood beside Empress Dowager Yan, standing in front of him with a long sword with blood flowing from the sword. He asked, "Where are the soldiers and supplies of the Qi people hiding?"

After receiving a positive answer, General Yan walked out, leaving only two corpses in the room.

The next day, the entire Liaodong County of Yan State began to mobilize and prepare to face Li Mu's army.

In this era of destruction of the country and the family, some people chose to flee, while others chose to face it bravely.
