Chapter 561: Cessation of Territory and Compensation [Subscription*Monthly Ticket Request]

So, the entire Li residence was dug up three feet underground and everything was excavated and moved to Yushan Academy.

Except for the Li clan ancestral hall which remained in Bairen, all the others were emptied.

"This group of people are really crazy!" Fu Nian and Yan Lu also followed.

After all, Yushan Academy is also part of Confucianism.

"You're making a fuss about what you can't get. If General Li Mu is willing to go to Xiao Shengxian Manor, I'm afraid Senior Brother will do something even more excessive!" Yan Lu rolled his eyes.

With the ability of the Feng family, if Li Mu is willing to go to the Feng family, the Feng family can move all the people of Bai there.

Then I will say to the world, what Bairen Li, this is me, Fengshi Li!
It’s a pity that Li Mu chose Yushan Academy.
-
Li Mu's departure had the greatest impact on Qin, Bingzhou and Yan, the three countries with the greatest conflicts with Yan.

The King of Qin and the King of Yan were ecstatic.

When Zhao invaded Bingzhou and fought against Donghu before, they all realized that in the entire Zhao State, the only one who could fight was Li Mu.

If they go to war with the State of Zhao in the future, the first person they will have to face will be Li Mu.

But facing Li Mu, Wang Jian shook his head and said he was not sure of winning.

Fan Yuqi said that he is a junior and still has a gap.

So because of Li Mu's departure, the entire Qin and Yan armies even rested for three days.

After receiving the information, Li Ren, who was stationed in Juyan Lake, also sighed deeply and returned to the Beiye royal court in person.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Ren knelt heavily. Even if Yan Yan tried to stop him with his inner strength, he couldn't stop Li Ren from kneeling.

“You know everything?” Yan Yan finally accepted the kneeling.

"Yeah!" Li Ren nodded.

Given my father's character, if Bingzhou and Zhao go to war in the future, my father will definitely lead the troops to fight.

By that time, fathers and sons were killing each other on the battlefield.

Even if it was not Bingzhou that went to war, the result would be the same if it was Qin.

No one in the whole world dares to say that he is better than my father.

Then all the countries had only one choice, to get rid of the father secretly, either by assassination or by alienating him and forcing the State of Zhao to kill him.

Therefore, what Yan Yan did was actually to save his father.

Li Ren is very clear about this.

Moreover, Bingzhou made absolute concessions in order to preserve his father's heroic name.

"Then we must guard the Juyan Lake well. The future of Bingzhou depends on the Juyan Lake, Ruoshui and Hetao!" Yan Yan said seriously.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty!" Li Ren stood up and turned back to Juyan.

After the war, those of the Zhao clan are no longer suitable to participate.

"Then, let's declare war!" After Li Ren left, Yan Yan calmed down and said solemnly to the civil and military officials who had returned.

Although the Zhao army evacuated the Beiye royal court as they returned, they had already occupied Loufan, Danlin and Linhu.

"Yes!" No one hesitated.

Especially the ministers who stayed behind in the royal city were holding their breath.

Brothers quarrel outside the wall to defend against insults.

Zhao broke the rules, and even if Bingzhou destroyed Zhao, no princes in the world could object.

"How far are we going to fight?" An Qisheng looked at Yan Yan and asked.

"That depends on when Zhao is willing to surrender!" Yan Yan said indifferently.

He said that war has always been a subject of economics.

He could satisfy his subjects' desire for revenge, but at the same time he had to do so without harming the interests of Bingzhou.

This is what a qualified monarch should do.

Therefore, Bingzhou declared war on Zhao State and issued a proclamation to the whole world, and none of the princes in the world were surprised.

This was both reasonable and unexpected, because the Bingzhou proclamation only declared war on Zhao, but did not specify to what extent the war would be fought.

He just enumerated all the unkindness and injustice of the State of Zhao.

It didn't even specify how many troops Bingzhou would deploy.

"The temporarily recruited troops should return!" Yan Yan ordered the temporary recruitment of troops to be disbanded so as not to delay the farming season.

But the Yulin Guards are still there.

"Mr. Dugu, General Longcheng, it's time for me to see your fighting power!" Yan Yan looked at Dugu Ming and Dugu Longcheng who came back with Dian Qing.

"Your Majesty, please give your orders!" Dugu Ming knew that if he wanted to be accepted, he naturally had to demonstrate his own value.

"Ten days to retake Loufan County!" Yan Yan said calmly.

Dugu Ming's eyes narrowed slightly. The State of Zhao had an army of more than 100,000 soldiers stationed on the grassland.

He only has 30,000 men, how can he take back Loufan?

"The Yulin Guards will cooperate with you." Yan Yan continued.

"Yes!" Dugu Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

With the Yulin Guards here, there will be no problem.

They saw with their own eyes that the Yulin Guards wiped out and captured King Xiutu's army in just ten days. It was a completely one-sided war.

"The city continues to be handed over to the Prime Minister!" Yan Yan looked at An Qisheng and bowed.

Yan Yan did not pursue the matter because An Qisheng released Maodun back to the Xiongnu royal court and recalled Gongsun Nu.

After all, the Zhao army was at the gates of the city, so it was normal for An Qisheng to do this.

"Your Majesty, please be safe!" An Qisheng returned the greeting.

I’m used to being the regent!
So, the Yulin Guards, the Dugu clan's army and the Gongsun Nu army went out again.

Gongsun Nu was ordered to lead an army of 50,000 to recapture Danlin and Linhu.

Dugu Ming took back Loufan.

As for the Yulin Guards, after leaving the royal city, they plunged into the grassland and disappeared.

"Excuse me!" No one expected that in just ten days, the Yulin Guards suddenly appeared at the gate of Tuhe City in Yan State.

"Ah?" Fan Yuqi stared blankly at the army that suddenly appeared, sweating coldly.

Looking at the army marching across the mountains and plains, Fan Yuqi had not received any information in advance.

It was not until the Yulin Guards appeared in red armor that they realized it was the Yulin Guards.

"Please, please, please~" How dare Fan Yuqi refuse?
Just look at how many troops are passing by outside the city!
"Thank you!" Yan Yan did not stay and passed through Yan State, bypassed Yanmen Pass, and appeared directly in Dai County behind Yanmen Pass.

Most of the Zhao army were still on the grassland or entrenched in the Yanmen Pass area. They never expected that the Yulin Guards would appear in Dai County like a miracle.

Therefore, facing the sudden attack of the Yulin Guards, Dai County fell without any ability to fight back.

The fall of Dai County shocked the entire Zhao State. Handan hurriedly ordered the army to retreat, guard Yanmen Pass, and retake Dai County.

But it's too slow.

Compared with the marching speed of the Yulin Guard, the Zhao army was too slow.

After the Yulin Guard captured Dai County, they did not go to capture Yanmen Pass. Instead, they continued to march south and captured Hongshang Pass, which was the northern boundary of Zhao State.

Although Hongshangsai is a military town, it does not have many standing troops.

Normally, when Yanmen Pass was in danger, Hongshang Pass would become an important town in the rear and the last line of defense in the north of Zhao State.

Therefore, facing the aggressive Yulin Guards, the 3,000 regular troops of Hongshang Pass were also unable to resist, and Hongshang Pass fell in just half a day.

"Cede the land and pay compensation, otherwise I cannot guarantee that these more than 100,000 Zhao soldiers can return to Handan alive!"

After the fall of Hongshangsai, the entire Zhao State's gateway to the north was completely cut off.
