Late at night, a dark palace.
King Yan was wearing a white coat and a royal robe over his shoulders, sitting in the shadow of the palace.
His face was covered by gray hair. As he aged, his deep-set eyes formed two heavy shadows on his face.
After knowing that the Qin army broke through Juyong Pass in one day, King Xi of Yan stayed in the palace and did not go out.
During this period, a concubine whom he usually doted on came in to visit and persuaded her to eat. King Yan hit the Tianling Cap with a palm and fell to the ground dead.
After that, no one dared to enter the dormitory again.
At the entrance of the palace, the body of the chamberlain who was the first to report the news was still lying, cold and stiff.
It was eerily quiet in the dormitory.
Prince Dan came in from the door and stepped over the body of the chamberlain. He could feel King Yan Xi's eyes falling on him, gloomy and silent.
This time when the Qin people attacked Yan, it was Prince Dan who took the lead and arranged the defense line.
But now... the Yan army is collapsing at an unprecedented speed.
Yan Wangxi obviously couldn't bear such a result.
"What did you tell me before the Qin people came?"
King Yan's low voice echoed in the palace.
He suddenly waved his hand, and a burst of energy spread out, hitting Prince Dan in the face.
King Yan Xi devoted himself to cultivation, and his own strength was not weak.
Prince Dan's mouth was bleeding, and he slowly bent down and knelt down: "Father, please forgive me, but my Yan army of 300,000 will fight to the death to resist the Qin army.
If the city is finally defeated, I am willing to live and die with Wu Yang and die for the country."
King Yan said coldly: "What's the use of your death? Can you stop the Qin people?"
Before Qin came, you told me that with all the arrangements, you could keep the Qin people out of Wuyang and make it difficult for them to attack our country, Yan. As a result, the Qin army broke through Yang in one day, and three days later, they broke through Juyong Pass.
I believe in your words and that’s why I’m here today.”
Yan Wangxi's voice was stern, with a hint of murderous intent.
Historically, King Xi of Yan personally killed his son Ji Dan, cut off his head and presented it to the First Emperor, hoping to appease the First Emperor's anger.
It's a pity that the First Emperor had a violent temper. Not only did he not calm down his anger, he also killed the entire Yan clan.
At this time, Prince Dan touched the ground with his forehead and said: "Father, please calm down. In order to deal with the invasion of the Qin army, I, the Yan State, have made full preparations in advance and have sufficient food, grass and military equipment. Now we only need to defend Wuyang and Jicheng will not be lost."
The two places echo each other, and the people of Qin dare not say victory."
King Yan sneered and said: "You have carefully laid out the defense line for several years, but it was broken through by the Qin army in three days. In two days at the latest, the Qin army will reach the outside of Jicheng. How dare you say that the Qin people can't win?"
Are you better than the people of Zhao, Wei, and Chu?
How are the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei, and Chu now?"
King Yan happily asked and answered: "The three kingdoms were all destroyed by the Qin people, and the kingdoms were destroyed, and all the kings died."
He suddenly fell silent, and then said again after a while:
"I... If you want to evacuate Jicheng, go to Liaodong first. Before the Qin people break the city, I will leave first. You go back and mobilize my elite troops from Dayan to join me. You have to move quickly.
If the Qin people are still unwilling to let me go and chase them to Liaodong, we will follow our plan and flee overseas."
Prince Dan was surprised.
The Qin people broke through the barrier so quickly that King Xi of Yan was obviously frightened out of his courage.
The war between Yan and Qin had just begun, and King Yan wanted to take refuge in Liaodong.
This is quite consistent with history.
"Father, I, the Yan, still have the strength to fight. We must not retreat at this time. Otherwise, there will be no master in the country and the morale of the army will be in chaos. Then there will be no real way to save the country."
Prince Dan died and remonstrated: "Outside the palace are the officials of my country, and inside the city are the people of my country.
If my father leaves, the hearts of the people will be dispersed, and then my country, Yan, will be destroyed."
"You and your ministers want to force me to do something?"
King Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and said sarcastically: "My son is not good at dealing with the people of Qin, but he is quite good at dealing with the people of Qin!"
"I don't dare."
Prince Dan said: "When I came back, all the ministers spontaneously gathered and waited outside the palace."
At this time, outside the dormitory, the square of the main hall of the Yan Palace was indeed filled with officials from the Yan people.
If King Yan really withdraws from Jicheng, the scene where King Chu left Shouchun and destroyed the last remaining fighting spirit of the Chu army will immediately happen.
The difference is that the king of Chu at that time was deceived into leaving the city.
King Xi of Yan was forced by the situation and frightened by the Qin army's advance. He felt that his safety was threatened and wanted to leave.
In the palace of King Yan, because Prince Dan returned, he gave a speech to King Yan Xi.
Coupled with the fact that Yan's ministers were coincident with Prince Dan, at dawn, King Yan reluctantly agreed to stay in Jicheng to observe the next trend of the war before making a decision.
Prince Dan then left Jicheng without stopping. On his way back to Wuyang, he was still recalling the gloomy face of King Yan in his mind.
Jicheng, Royal Palace.
After Prince Dan left, King Yan Xi also walked out of the palace, expressionless, all the way to the underground palace deep in Yan Palace.
This is where the Sendai pillar is placed.
Although he promised not to leave for the time being, King Yan planned to pack some important things and run away immediately if things went wrong.
No one can stop him.
In the palace, King Yan Xi slowly approached the Xiantai Pillar, put his hands on the stone pillar, and used the power in his body to shrink the Xiantai Pillar.
However, the next moment, the Sendai Pillar collapsed like a mirage and disappeared.
The breath of the final collapse of the Xiantai Pillar turned into a wisp of mana fluctuations, and the figure of Zhao Huaizhong emerged, looking at King Yan with joy: "If King Yan still doesn't accept surrender, when will we wait!"
ah!
Yan Wangxi was already in a state of despair and panic, but the change before him came without any warning and was beyond his expectation.
He thought it was the safest, but not only did the Sendai Pillar used to store the country's most important weapons disappear, but Zhao Huaizhong came out to scare him!
A certain string in Yan Wangxi's head seemed to have been broken.
He screamed and stared intently at Zhao Huaizhong, who was manifesting his magical energy.
The Sendai Pillar, which was guarded at all levels, actually disappeared.
This means that Zhao Huaizhong can come and take his life at any time if necessary!
When Zhao Huaizhong took away the Xiantai Pillar from the Yan people, why did he transform it into a fake pillar and stand it here? It was to maximize the effect and create the mentality of the King of Yan.
At this moment, the loss of the Xiantai Pillar was enough to crush Yan Wangxi's last inner defense line.
When the virtual image of Zhao Huaizhong's magic power disappeared, King Yan stood motionless, feeling lost, frustrated, terrified, and shocked... all intertwined, making it difficult to control himself.
Suddenly, King Yan shouted and stumbled out of the underground palace in a hurry.
In the afternoon of that day, he led the Yan people's 50,000 forbidden troops and fled eastward out of Jicheng, with their destination being Liaodong.
The ministers who blocked him were all slaughtered in the palace of King Yan.
When he received the news, Prince Dan was still on his way back to Wuyang.
The setting sun was shining in the evening, and as soon as he saw the city wall of Wuyang, he was chased by a messenger from behind, informing him that King Yan was leaving the palace and fleeing eastward.
Prince Dan's mentality also collapsed, and his eyes were spinning.
King Yan was delighted that once he escaped, everything would be over.
Next, it is conceivable that Yanhui will fall into chaos, the morale of the army will be unstable, and the morale will fall to the bottom!
Knowing that the Qin army was attacking Yan, Prince Dan thought that Yan might not be able to defend it, but he did not expect that it would be defeated so miserably and so quickly.
Juyong Pass was breached one day, and King Yan fled the next day.
If there is no master in the country, why fight?
To be continued...
