Chapter 941: King Xi of Yan's Thoughts [Subscribe*Monthly Ticket Request]

Wang Jian and others thought about it and felt that Qi would never help Yan. Otherwise, there would be no need to support Qin in going to war with Yan. Having too much money was not the right way to go.

Then, everyone's eyes turned to Gongsun Nu.

"You know that if I, Bingzhou, had taken action, you would have been trapped in Handan by now!" Gongsun was stunned for a moment, then spoke in a domineering tone.

Everyone withdrew their gaze. Although they would not be trapped in Handan, if Bingzhou wanted to help, they really could not reach Yangcheng.

So, the State of Yan has no support, so what is the purpose of transferring the elite troops back to the north?

"Could it be that the barbarians in the north of Yan State were making unusual movements, forcing King Xi of Yan to recall the army?" Wang Jian pondered for a long time and finally found an explanation that seemed more reasonable.

"Tsk~" Gongsun Nu laughed, "That's absolutely impossible. You all know that my Bingzhou Red Flame Cavalry is advancing slowly. The entire Donghu, Xianbei, Wuhuan and other tribes are within the scope of my Red Flame Cavalry's conquest. Do they still have the ability to attack the Yan State now?"

Wang Jian was silent.

This is true, but if not, what was the State of Yan doing?
"Surrounded by foreign enemies, the brave general is left in the wilderness?" This is the only thing everyone can think of.

The gap between the Great Wall garrison corps and ordinary Yan soldiers is also huge.

"Let's proceed step by step!" As the main general, Wang Jian still needs to stabilize the morale of the troops.

Anyway, what he is best at is to use force to overwhelm others. Even if the Great Wall garrison corps is transferred back to the front, he is not afraid. The worst thing that can happen is that he can continue to send troops to Xianyang.

This time they have brought out all of Qin's top nobles. If they are defeated, it would not only be a loss of face, but all of them would also lose their official positions.

"Actually, what I'm more curious about is, when those 30,000 vanguard troops were killed, no one cared?" Gongsun Nu suddenly spoke.

"..." All the Qin army generals were silent.

An army of 30,000 was completely wiped out. Although they were captured prisoners and defeated soldiers, they were still an army of 30,000.

How should they explain this to Xianyang?

So everyone looked at Wang Jian. This battle report was really difficult to write.

“We’ll report it as soon as we capture Yangcheng!” Wang Jian thought about it and decided that if he reported it directly, the people of Xianyang would doubt their abilities.

As for Ying Zheng... fortunately he is not in Xianyang. Now the eldest prince Fusu is the regent, so he will give them some face.

After the Yan State was destroyed, it would be just a small matter. It was not the Qin soldiers who died, so Ying Zheng would not hold them too accountable.

"Zizizi~" Gongsun laughed loudly. Thirty thousand people died without any hesitation. These people really don't care about human life.

Although he can understand it, it doesn't mean he will accept it.

He was glad that he had followed Yan Yan and left Wei State. Otherwise, if Wei State was defeated, with his status and position, he would probably be among the dead.

"Bingzhou is just here to observe, please don't shake the morale of our army!" Wang Jian glared at Gongsun Nu.

He originally didn't want Gongsun Nu to follow, but others persuaded him that if Gongsun Nu stayed in Yanmen Pass, it would be like a sword hanging over the heads of their army, so he had to agree to let Bingzhou come and watch.

"Okay, I was thinking that Bingzhou also has a lot of information about Yan State." Gongsun Nu laughed and shook his head.

In Yangcheng, Ju Wu also frowned.

He succeeded Fan Yuqi as the military commander of Yan State, and at first he did not expect that the Great Wall Garrison Corps would be so powerful. After he received the news, he began to make strategic deployments around the Great Wall Garrison Corps, and even thought of taking advantage of the fact that the Qin army had just arrived and was not yet firmly established to catch the Qin army off guard.

But who would have thought that before he could sort out his plan, he received an order from Jicheng to recall the Great Wall garrison corps.

Judging from the time, this order was probably issued long before this battle.

So even Ju Wu didn't know what King Xi of Yan was thinking, or what happened in the north that made King Xi of Yan recall the Great Wall garrison corps.

Changing generals on the battlefield is a taboo in the army. What Prince Xi of Yan did is far more terrifying than changing generals on the battlefield. Changing defense on the battlefield!

That's right, it was a change of guard before the battle. The Great Wall garrison corps that was originally supposed to guard the first line was recalled, and the Yan army on the second line of defense moved forward to take over the defense line of the Great Wall garrison corps.

"My king, do you know what you are doing?" Ju Wu could only look in the direction of Jicheng and sigh.

He finally understood why the State of Yan had been defeated miserably in the previous two wars.

It's not just Li Fu's problem here, nor is it that Ju Xin is old. A big problem also lies with King Xi of Yan.

Fan Yuqi was dismissed and Yan Chunjun was placed under house arrest, but this did not prevent them from receiving news from the outside world.

So when they received the news of the great victory on the front line, they were relieved.

As the former leader of the army, they knew very well whether the Great Wall Garrison Corps could fight. Even if Ju Wu replaced them, as long as Ju Wu did not give blind commands, the army could resist counterattacks on its own.

To be precise, even if a dog was tied to the position of the commander, it would be difficult for the Qin army to gain any advantage from the Great Wall garrison corps within a year or two, let alone capture Yangcheng.

However, when they learned that King Xi of Yan transferred this elite force back to the north, both of them were dumbfounded.

If there was a Great Wall garrison corps stationed in Yangcheng, it would be difficult for the Qin army to capture Yangcheng, let alone destroy the State of Yan, unless it requested reinforcements from Xianyang.

"I hereby order that Jizi Joseon has rebelled, and I order Yan Chunjun and Fan Yuqi to lead the Great Wall garrison corps to suppress the rebellion!"

Just when Yan Chunjun and Fan Yuqi were still trying to persuade Prince Xi of Yan to transfer the Great Wall garrison corps back to Yangcheng, another royal order was heard from the palace.

"This..." The Palace Chief Autumn also looked at Prince Xi of Yan in confusion. There was something wrong with this order.

Even if Gojoseon really rebelled, compared with the Qin army, it was just a minor issue. There was no need to mobilize Yan's most elite Great Wall garrison corps and Yan Chunjun and Fan Yuqi to suppress it.

"How long have you followed me?" King Xi of Yan asked Changqiu.

"I have been serving you since you were born, and I have almost forgotten how long it has been!" Changqiu shook his head.

If it weren't for this friendship, he wouldn't have been able to become the Grand Chamberlain of the Yan Palace.

"Then do you think Yan can withstand the attack of the Qin army? Tell the truth, don't say those perfunctory words!"

Prince Xi of Yan looked at the Grand Chamberlain and asked.

The Grand Chamberlain lowered his head. It would be a lie to say that Yan State could withstand the attack of the Qin army. There were many princes in the world who were stronger than Yan State, but they all lost.

Even if Yan State can withstand this round, it will not be able to withstand the next round.

"If there is no way out, I don't mind fighting to the death with the Qin army, but now we have a way out. Since we have a way out, there is no need to sacrifice the good men and warriors of my Yan country."
