A few days later, the light chariots and iron cavalry led by Li Xin escorted the prisoners all the way back to Jicheng from western Liaoning.
The generals of the Qin army, led by General Wang Jian, stood outside the east gate of Jicheng early, waiting for the return of the expeditionary army.
A general Pi would not have been treated like this when he returned from an expedition.
But unfortunately, Li Xin's contribution this time was really too great.
Not only did he capture Prince Dan who was personally named by the King of Qin, but he also captured all the fleeing nobles of the Yan Kingdom, and directly wiped out the Yan Kingdom's aristocracy.
You must know that in the pre-Qin era, the most important class in each country was the nobility.
They are the core of a country, controlling cultural ceremonies, enshrining ancestral temples, and possessing political rights and land wealth. They are the actual rulers of every country, and the common people below are just beings exploited by them.
At the end of the Qin Dynasty in history, although the words "Princes and generals Xiang Ning have the kind" opened the prelude to troubled times, but in the war to destroy Qin, it was the nobles of the six countries who played the leading role.
In this era, nobles have extremely terrifying appeal.
Therefore, Li Xin directly eliminated the nobles and ministers of Yan State, which can be said to have had the effect of eradicating the roots. Without the leadership of the nobles, the remaining counties and counties of Yan State would not be able to resist the Qin army.
Even if King Yan escaped, the Yan Kingdom was actually destroyed at this moment.
"impossible!"
"How could Li Xin intercept Prince Yan and his son in western Liaoning?"
Until now, Qiang Yu still couldn't accept this fact. He stood among the generals, lowered his head and murmured to himself.
All the generals looked at him with some pity. Everyone knew that Qiang Yu and Li Xin had always been at odds. Both of them had strong personalities. Once they met, they were at odds with each other, and they often competed secretly.
It's just that this time Qiang Yu lost, and he lost miserably.
Wang Jian also glanced at Qiang He and shook his head.
At this time, the chariots from the east have arrived.
Wang Jian looked up and saw a chariot in front.
In front of the chariot, a young general in iron armor holding six bridles and riding four strong horses galloped towards him.
On the chariot, the young general stood proudly, with majestic appearance and heroic appearance.
Behind them, there were many cavalry and chariots rolling around.
Further behind is a carriage carrying a large number of prisoners.
The chariot arrived in an instant. The young man pulled the bridle rope in his hand, and the four horses neighed and the chariot stopped firmly.
"This guy's driving skills are really good."
When Wang Jian saw this scene, he nodded slightly. The young man parked his car and looked like he was a veteran.
The general on the chariot strode down, walked directly to Wang Jian, raised his hands and said: "General, the last general Li Xin has fulfilled his mission. He pursued hundreds of miles with a light chariot and intercepted the Yan State convoy in western Liaoning."
"In this battle, our army beheaded more than a thousand people and captured Yan Dan, the crown prince of Yan State, and a total of 210 people including the Duke of Yan State. Only King Xi of Yan State took advantage of the chaos to escape, but our army could not catch up and allowed him to escape. This was a mistake of faith.
, please ask the general to punish you."
Listening to Li Xin's angry voice, Wang Jian was a little confused when he thought about the achievements made by the opponent for hundreds of miles.
He used to be so heroic and heroic, and the ambition and pride in his chest were no worse than the Li Xin in front of him.

【Qin General】【】
It's a pity that time passes and he is really old.
Wang Jian shook his head and drove away the sadness in his heart.
"Well, General Li, you have clearly done a great job, and yet you deliberately apologize to me. Don't I know what you are thinking? Don't put on a show in front of me, pretending to apologize, but actually asking for credit. This is what I did when I was young.
It’s not like I’ve never done it before.”
Wang Jian laughed,
"If you hadn't resolutely marched eastward this time, let alone the King of Yan, neither the Prince of Yan nor the Dukes of Yan would have been able to capture any of them. For your meritorious service, when you return to Xianyang, the King will definitely reward you generously.
Don't make fun of me here."
Hearing this, all the generals laughed, but Qiang Yu, whose face was as black as coal, lowered his head silently, not daring to speak.
When Wang Jian said this, Li Xin blushed and laughed along with everyone.
"Zhao Tuo, come here."
He waved to the young general behind him.
Zhao Tuo hurriedly came up and saluted Wang Jian and the generals.
Li Xin was about to ask for credit for Zhao Tuo, but Wang Jian raised his hand to stop him.
"Wait a minute, let me guess first."
"Are you going to say that the reason why you led your troops eastward to intercept King Yan this time was all because of this young man's idea?"
Li Xin was shocked and replied honestly: "It's exactly what the general said. It was because of this son's suggestion that I went to Liaoxi to intercept. I didn't expect the general to know. I really admire him."
Wang Jian smiled slightly, with a flash of pride in his eyes.
He didn't say much, turned to look at Zhao Tuo, and said: "Young man, you are indeed very smart, you can even predict this kind of thing."
Zhao Tuo hurriedly saluted and said: "General, this matter is all the result of General Li. Although the subordinates have a small idea, but without General Li's strong support and personally leading the troops to pursue, there would not be such a big incident."
reward."
"Okay, okay, here comes this trick again. Don't blame each other. Both of you have contributed to this matter. I will report it to the king."
Wang Jian waved his hand impatiently and looked towards the back of the motorcade.
At this time, the prisoners in the carriage were driven down by the Qin army and tied with ropes into a long string.
"Is the Crown Prince of Yan among them?"
Li Xin nodded and said: "Since Yan Dan sought death several times, we could only tie his limbs and tie him to a chariot, with soldiers guarding him at all times. Does the general want to see him?"
A strange light flashed in Wang Jian's eyes and he said: "No need, someone will naturally come to see him later."
"Escort the prisoners into the city!"
The whole Jicheng was boiling.
Not only the Qin soldiers here, but also the Yan people in the city stretched their heads and looked around, with a look of fear and hope on their faces.
The people of Yan have heard that Prince Dan, who fled out of the city, and many officials of the Yan State were captured by the Qin army and have now been escorted to Jicheng.
They didn't want to believe this at first, but the Qin general informed the public and even allowed the Yan people to watch the prisoners enter the city.

Finally, behind the mighty Qin army, the Yan nobles with forlorn faces formed a long queue and walked into the city like grazing animals as the Qin people drove them.

【Qin General】【】
The people of Yan saw that the country's former high-ranking officials and noble descendants of Zhao Gong were now prisoners under the ropes of the Qin people. They looked embarrassed and miserable, and no longer had the sacred aura of the past.
Especially the man tied to the chariot.
Although his crown was gone, his hair was disheveled, his clothes were in tatters, and his buttocks were still stained with blood.
But how could the Yan people in Jicheng forget that the hero in their hearts and the hope for the future of the Yan Kingdom, Prince Yan Dan!
"Cover Fu Gantang, don't cut or cut it, it's what Zhao Bo did..."
Some Yan people were moved by the scene, with tears in their eyes, and couldn't help but sing "Gantang."
The sound was very low at first, but the surrounding Yan people heard it and started singing along.
One by one.
With their mouths open and tears shed, they remembered in their sad songs the Duke Zhao who served as King of Zhou eight hundred years ago, and the King of Yan who had ruled this place from generation to generation.
The nobles of the Yan Kingdom among the prisoners were affected, and they also cried and sang along.
The sound became louder and louder, becoming more and more sad and tragic, making the whole Jicheng fall into a sad mood.
Hearing Gantang's voice, Yan Dan raised his head, and his dull eyes gradually gathered a glimmer of light.
"The people of Yan miss our country."
"Even if the Qin people can win temporarily, one day our Yan country will eventually stand on this land again like King Zhao's restoration."
Yan Dan murmured to himself, his dry lips couldn't help but move, and sang the poem praising the ancestors.
However, at this moment, a war drum was beating from nowhere.
One after another, the heart-shaking drum beats resounded over Jicheng.
At the same time, the Qin soldiers in the city also raised their weapons, stepped on their feet, and sang passionate war songs accompanied by the sound of drums.
"Si Si, Kong Fu, has six bridles in his hand. If the prince loves his son, he will follow the prince in hunting."
"Follow Shi Chen Mu, Chen Mu has a large hole. The Duke said to the left, if you give it up, you will get it."
"Wandering in the North Garden, the four horses are at leisure. The carriages and carriages are riding on the carriages, carrying the horses to rest their pride."
The majestic sound of "驷驖tiě" sounded, and the singing voice from Qin Feng was passionate and loud, instantly suppressing the sad chanting of the Yan people.
In the poem, the monarch of Qin drove a long chariot, carrying his beloved son and hounds, hunting in the North Garden.
With the sound of the bowstring, the beasts in the garden fell down.
And in front of us, the Qin troops all over the city are just the beloved sons and hunting dogs under the command of King Qin, aren't they?
The beast in Beiyuan that fell in response was the eight-hundred-year-old Yan Kingdom in front of us!
What a poem that perfectly suits the occasion.
It turns out that there was a prophecy in the poetry of the Qin people that their army would one day sing the wind of Qin, come to the north, and completely knock down the beast that had dominated the land of Yan for eight hundred years.
Destiny!
Could it be that Qin’s destruction of Yan was destiny?
The Yan people's faces turned pale, and they trembled in the majestic and passionate war songs of the Qin army. They once again thought of the terror of the Qin army. The majestic songs, mighty soldiers, and sharp weapons made them see clearly the cruel reality in front of them.
.
The tragic heart that just arose disappeared in an instant.
Yan Dan stared blankly at all this, the light in his eyes disappeared, and the courage that had just surged in his heart was completely drained away at this moment.
"What a good idea! This is a psychological tactic!"
Zhao Tuo's eyes were bright. As he was driving the car, he couldn't help but look back at Wang Jian who was standing in the car.

【Qin General】【】
The old general stood with a faint smile on his face.
Gather the people of Yan and let them see with their own eyes that the prince of Yan and the nobles are captured.
When they were aroused by this scene to feel tragic and even rebellious, they then used the louder and louder Qin Feng war song and the Qin soldiers all over the city to crush their hearts.
Wang Jian wants to use mental attacks to make the Yan people see the reality before them.
It is destiny for Qin to destroy Yan.
He not only wanted to destroy the Yan people's country, but also wanted to kill their hearts.
He wants the Yan people to understand.
From now on, this is the land of Qin, and what sounds in this land should be the war song of the Qin people!
"This is what the Art of War says, a soldier who defeats the enemy without fighting."
Zhao Tuo silently remembered it in his heart and learned another trick.
