The first thousand two hundred and fifty-seven chapters of the king's way
In the past few days, since the Qin army failed to attack, especially after an exit led to Beiping on the left and right, the people and even the generals in Jicheng were a little unstable.
It seemed that those people had a sense of survival after the disaster, and the disabled people wanted to leave the city and go to Beiping, Liaoxi, Liaodong and other counties on the left and right to join their clansmen.
Healthy people even want to find a way out among their fellow citizens. Wanting to live well is everyone's pursuit. Death... is not what everyone wants.
Even the disabled soldiers had such thoughts.
Lu Zhenlang stayed in Qilu for a long time in his early years. He was familiar with hundreds of schools of thought and understood the hearts of the people. How could he not know this? But it was precisely because he knew this that he understood the ruthlessness of Wang Jian's plan.
hot.
You can go out!
Not allowed to come back!
At first, the people did not dare to go out, but as those who went out were safe and sound, more and more people wanted to leave the city, and there were more and more reasons to leave the city, making it difficult to distinguish the true from the false.
But even if we can distinguish between true and false, no matter what, there is nothing we can do to stop it!
In addition, long before the Qin army surrounded Jicheng, all the merchants and travel businesses in the city had withered away. Although there was a lot of food, grass and luggage in the city, there was no income, and sooner or later it would be exhausted.
If this continues, Jicheng will collapse on its own without waiting for Jicheng to resist!
"That's it, Your Highness... It is obviously unwise to use the soldiers in Jicheng to forcefully compete with the Qin army."
"If we continue to defend like this, the people in Jicheng will be lost too quickly, and the people's strength will be insufficient. It will be even more difficult to deal with the Qin army in the future!"
"It's not like,..."
Hearing Juzi Lu Zhenlang's words, Lao Juwu remained silent. After a few breaths, he raised his head again and looked at His Highness the Crown Prince. The Jicheng in front of him, if he waits for one more day, he will lose the strength to resist.
Not a long-term solution.
Instead of doing this, it is better to leave as soon as possible.
"There is no need to say anything, Master. Dan... would rather be with Jicheng!"
Yan Dan suddenly stood up from behind the first case, placed one hand heavily on the case, and made a dull sound. His eyes widened, and there were faint traces of blood.
He roared loudly to show his intention.
"Your Highness!"
Lao Ju and Wu Lao burst into tears. Sure enough, they were with Jicheng. Could it be that... they were just waiting to die.
That was definitely not the outcome that I wanted to see. I had watched His Highness the Crown Prince grow up since I was a child, and now, I did not want His Highness the Crown Prince to reach this point.
Really hope not!
"Haotianye!"
"The Zhou people are so virtuous in their kingly ways that they would rather destroy the rest of my Zhaogong lineage!"
Yan Dan looked up to the sky and roared.
Is it true that the inheritance of more than 800 years in the Zhou Dynasty, the inheritance of benevolence, etiquette, etiquette and kingship, must be cut off here in Yan State? Is it true that Ying Zheng really wants to rule the world and achieve unparalleled hegemony?
I don’t like it!
Why is Haotian so harsh on Yan!
Why is Zhao Gong Yize so harsh?
Bang!
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Dan's whole body suddenly froze, and then he fell heavily on the couch behind him, and another dull voice rang out.
"Your Highness!"
Lu Zhenlang was startled, and a red mysterious light surged around his body. With a wave of his hand, a soft force lifted Yan Dan up, and a stream of force poured into his body to see the situation.
"Your Highness!"
Lao Juwu was even more horrified and hurriedly approached.
"gentlemen!"
"How is your highness?"
Looking at Lu Zhenlang's movements, Lao Juwu asked quickly.
"His Highness is so anxious that he is heartbroken. In addition, the injury last time has not healed. If you don't check it for a while, you will be in a coma."
"Recuperate for a moment or two, and then you can wake up."
"However..., the situation here in Jicheng cannot continue to wait."
"In any case, looking at Wang Jian's plan, he must want to capture Jicheng before autumn and winter. Otherwise, there will be a battle in autumn and winter. After Wang Jian's strategy, Jicheng's resistance is even weaker."
Lu Zhenlang placed Yan Dan safely on the couch. Even if a doctor came, he would only prescribe something to nourish the body and replenish energy, but it would not be of much use.
The key point now is that His Highness the Crown Prince cannot truly nourish his body and replenish his energy.
Looking at Lao Ju Wu beside him, no matter what, even if His Highness remained unmoved, they should have made some move.
Otherwise, the ending will get worse and worse.
"Sir, are you going to... force His Highness to leave Jicheng?"
Lao Juwu instantly understood the meaning of "Lu Zhenlang".
"good."
"There is no resistance here in Jicheng!"
"If His Highness leaves Jicheng at this moment and goes to Beiping, and even to places like western Liaoning and eastern Liaoning to reorganize his troops, he can still have a chance of confrontation by taking advantage of the favorable location and timing!"
"What do you think, Master?"
Taking stock of the situation, something is wrong here in Jicheng.
"But His Highness...is unwilling to leave Jicheng after all."
Lao Juwu had this intention before, but His Highness did not allow it and forcibly wanted to stay in Jicheng.
"For the great plan of Yan State."
"As long as your Highness is alive, the entire Yan Kingdom will always have the ability to resist. Otherwise..., the Grand Tutor should understand."
Lu Zhenlang shook his head.
His eyes flickered and fell on the map hanging on the screen not far away. There... the entire Yan State and Yannan were under the control of the Qin State, and the most fertile places in the entire Yan State were also under the control of the Yan State.
The area left to Yan State!
There is only poverty, only hardship.
Over the past few years, His Highness has been benevolent and courteous throughout the Yan Kingdom, and his reputation has been very high, far surpassing that of the king. Sure enough, His Highness is still alive. With a wave of his hand, there will be followers.
"Yan Kingdom!"
"Is there really no way?"
Lao Ju Wu said something difficult.
His eyes were a little confused. He also came from the time when Yan State was powerful. At that time, the legacy of King Zhao of Yan State still existed and Yan State was still a great country.
Even the Qin State treats each other with courtesy.
Now, it has become like this.
"Sir, please."
"But what if there are tens of thousands of civilians and soldiers in the city?"
"As expected, if you stay here, wouldn't you surrender to Qin and help Qin occupy this place?"
After a long time, Lao Juwu bowed deeply to Lu Zhenlang.
It was time to leave Jicheng, but then I thought of something. Although the resistance in Jicheng is getting weaker and weaker, there is still some foundation after all.
Sure enough, after they left, what happened to the common people and soldiers?
I really can’t bear it!
What's more, after the Qin army occupied this place, they still had to stabilize the situation in Jicheng.
"Having a half-household and weak soldiers, it would be better if they stayed here!"
"Otherwise, if the strong soldiers fight against the Qin army, it will not be the best outcome for them."
Lu Zhenlang waved his hand, knowing that all the real resources in Jicheng had been drained away by King Yan long ago, whether it was the elite soldiers or the large amount of grain, grass and luggage in the treasury.
The current Jicheng of Yan State is actually an empty shell.
If you hold on, you might be able to wait a little longer.
If we fight with strong troops, everything will be over!
"That's all it has to be."
Lao Ju Wu pondered for a moment and then sighed.
"General."
"In the past few days, more and more people and soldiers of the Yan Kingdom have come out of the east gate of Jicheng."
"And Guan Yandan and the others don't seem to be stopping them."
Hundreds of thousands of troops were stationed in Banshe. After the previous battle in Yannan, Wang Jian did not order a direct strong force to fight against Jicheng, nor did he order to directly capture Jicheng.
As expected, it was a time of great strife decades ago, so naturally such a strategy would not have been adopted.
But now that the king is marching eastward to conquer the world, such a strategy naturally needs to be adjusted. As expected, strong troops and fierce fighting are tantamount to exacerbating the enmity between the people of the Yan Kingdom.
It is not conducive to Qin's subsequent governance of Yan.
Defeating but not killing, encircling but not attacking, leaving Jicheng with a way out, allowing exit but not entering. With this strategy, Jicheng has a great possibility of being taken down without a single blow.
Coupled with the large number of people from various government offices and offices now coming from Qin, after an autumn and winter, it is enough to stabilize the entire Yannan region, Shanggu, Yuyang and other places.
And the hundreds of thousands of troops can also cultivate themselves well. In the spring of next year, they can directly and completely capture the left and right Beiping, Liaoxi, Liaodong and other places, and can also put down the chaos of the remaining Zhao Dynasty.
In the shogunate's military tent, Wang Jian was sitting behind a wooden desk in his regular uniform, holding a volume of paper classics in his hand and looking at something with great interest.
Hearing what the vanguard of the first army was saying, he raised his head slightly.
"How many people went out in total?"
Wang Jian asked lightly.
According to the reports from the scouts, there are about a hundred thousand civilians and soldiers in the entire Jicheng. If Jicheng offers resistance, it will be a powerful force.
"In the past half month, nearly 20,000 people have gone out."
"And quite a few of them are strong people, and the old, young, women and children are rare."
The vanguard responded quickly, and a considerable part of those who went out were Jicheng's current main force and even reserve personnel. As expected, Jicheng must be in chaos at this moment.
"General, as expected, Yan Dan and others also took advantage of the situation and fled?"
People from all over Jicheng fled, but Yan Dan did not put much resistance, which already explained the problem, that is, Yan Dan did not have much confidence in the next strong defense of Jicheng.
Otherwise, we can completely follow the example of the Qi State Tiandan in the past and stick to the two cities of Jimo.
Hearing the words of the pioneer, the army commander thought for a moment and then said something.
"He wants to escape?"
"Just let him escape."
"No need to stop."
"The general has his own plans."
Wang Jian smiled lightly, a Yan Dan actually wouldn't have much effect now, but... this person still has a lot of reputation in the Yan country after all, and may have a lot of resistance.
However..., I already have a countermeasure.
However... right now, my focus is on stabilizing the occupied Yan Kingdom, how to hunt down Yan Dan, and even deal with the follow-up matters of the entire Yan Kingdom. Next year will not be too late.
At this point, playing it safe and steady is the best strategy!
"Will Li Xin's army return today?"
After being stationed here, Wang Jian ordered Li Xin to lead an army of 50,000 to the north, step by step to eliminate the remaining forces of Yan and Zhao in Shanggu, Yuyang and other places.
That's not difficult.
"Not yet. Counting the time, it will be soon."
The military commander shook his head.
"Well, we must not neglect the supply of military supplies."
"In addition, 30,000 troops were divided, and many officials who came with the government were stationed in major counties, counties and villages to stabilize the situation and stabilize the situation in the Yan Kingdom."
Wang Jian put down the book in his hand and continued talking.
