Chapter 942: Yan State Did Not Lose [Subscribe*Monthly Ticket Request]

"When do you think the Great Wall Garrison Corps received my order to retreat?"

"Is that when you saw it?"

"Neither. When the Great Wall Garrison Corps was transferred to Yangcheng, I had already given them a secret order, requiring them to annihilate the Qin Army's vanguard at all costs and then retreat immediately!"

King Yanxi said lightly.

What the world saw was that the Great Wall garrison corps completely wiped out the Qin army's vanguard before retreating.

But why was it so coincidentally that King Xi of Yan issued the order at this time?

The fundamental reason is that this was already an order from Prince Xi of Yan, and the official transfer order was just for the people of the world to see.

"I still don't understand!" Da Changqiu shook his head.

Since the Great Wall garrison corps has the ability to fight against the Qin army, why should it be transferred back?
"I know Qin Wangzheng very well. He is a hero far superior to all the previous kings of Qin. His courage is rare among all the kings of previous dynasties. Even if we can stop these 200,000 Qin troops this time, the next time, there will be 500,000, 600,000, or 800,000. By then, our Yan State will be completely destroyed!"

"What's more, to our north, we have Bingzhou and Emperor Xuanwu!"

"In the eyes of outsiders, Emperor Xuanwu is a tyrannical and vicious person, and his actions are also brutal and fierce, but have you really understood Bingzhou?"

"Bingzhou conquered everywhere and killed all those who resisted, but as long as they were willing to submit, Bingzhou would let them live much better than before. This is why Bingzhou was able to gain a foothold on the grassland so quickly and win the hearts of all the tribes on the grassland.

"Therefore, once Qin recruits troops, in order to prevent Yan from being reduced to ruins, Bingzhou will also take action, and Emperor Xuanwu will also personally take action."

King Xi of Yan saw it very clearly and was the king who understood Yan Yan and Ying Zheng best.

"Emperor Xuanwu could have chosen not to hand over the sea chart to Lord Yanchun, but he still did so. His purpose was simply to not reduce the State of Yan to ruins."

"In the eyes of the Emperor, the lives of us powerful people are actually not as good as those of the common people. He never cares who is in power in this land. He only cares whether this person in power is Chinese and whether he can treat the people well."

The Grand Chamberlain stared at Prince Xi of Yan in a daze. If Prince Xi of Yan really thought so, then once the war between Qin and Yan became tense, Bingzhou would also be in trouble.

The Great Wall Garrison Corps is confident that it can stop the Qin Army's attack, but what if the Bingzhou Red Flame Cavalry is added?

"So, I sent the Great Wall Garrison Corps to fight, just to tell Qin that Yan was not incapable of resistance. Yan was defeated, but Qin did not win. Yan lost to the general trend of the world, not to Qin."

"This is important!"

King Xi of Yan stood up straight and spoke with dignity.

The Great Wall garrison corps could be transferred directly to Gojoseon without fighting, preparing to cross the sea to Yingzhou, but that would discourage the Yan people.

Now the Great Wall garrison corps has demonstrated the morale and backbone of the Yan State, leaving a backbone for future generations.

The Yan State did not lose to any princes, they just lost to the general trend.

"Your Majesty, don't you plan to go to Yingzhou?" The Grand Chamberlain suddenly understood what Prince Xi of Yan wanted to do.

"If I follow the army to retreat to Yingzhou, Qin will not let it go. Under the military title, the Qin army needs a perfect victory, and I am their victory. Only if I stay in Jicheng and become a prisoner of the Qin army, the Qin army will not pursue Yan Chunjun anymore, and the good men of my Yan country will have the chance to retreat to Yingzhou safely." King Xi of Yan explained calmly.

If he escaped, it would be a hasty and timid ending for the Qin State's luxurious civil and military lineup, so the Qin army would definitely capture him alive at all costs, even if it meant chasing him to Yingzhou.

Therefore, if he wanted Yan Chunjun and the elite troops of Yan to safely retreat to Yingzhou and leave seeds for Yan, he could only stay in Yan, in Jicheng. "I am old, and I don't want to leave!" The Grand Chamberlain looked at King Xi of Yan with tears in his eyes.

As a slave of the king, how could I abandon the king and run away?
King Xi of Yan took a deep look at the old man who had accompanied him all his life, and finally nodded.

"Go inform Yan Chunjun and General Fan!"

"Yes!" The Grand Chamberlain wiped the tears from his face, walked out of the palace, and went to Lord Yanchun's residence to announce the royal decree.

"Brother Wang is confused!" Yan Chunjun didn't know what King Xi of Yan was thinking, so he could only accept the order helplessly.

"It's time for you, Lord Envoy, to take charge of your own affairs!" The Grand Chamberlain looked at Yan Chunjun and sighed.

"What does Da Ling mean?" Yan Chunjun suddenly had a bad feeling.

According to his understanding of the Grand Chamberlain, he was not a talkative person and there was no need for him to say such ambiguous words.

"You will know in the future!" The Grand Chamberlain shook his head and continued to go to Fanguan to announce the order.

But when facing Fan Yuqi, Da Changqiu told the truth.

"Yan State can no longer be defended. Qin State is only one aspect, Bingzhou is the biggest threat." The Grand Chamberlain revealed King Xi of Yan's thoughts.

After listening to Da Changqiu's words, Fan Yuqi also fell silent.

He knew better than anyone that King Xi of Yan's considerations were not groundless. Bingzhou had been involved in the demise of Han, Zhao, and Chu, and had also reduced the intensity of the war to the lowest level, protecting the people of each country as much as possible and preventing the war from harming ordinary people.

If Yan State and Qin State really raise the intensity of the war to the maximum, Bingzhou will definitely be affected as expected.

"This matter should enter your ears and your heart, don't spread it to anyone else!" Da Changqiu reminded.

"Don't worry, my Lord, Yuqi knows what to do!" Fan Yuqi no longer complained about King Xi of Yan, and even changed his complaints into admiration.

At least, at this moment, King Xi of Yan was truly qualified to be the king of Yan, a qualified king.

King Xi of Yan took all the blame and infamy alone. He sent the Great Wall garrison corps into battle and preserved the blood and backbone of the Yan people.

"Take good care of the envoy, the future of Yan State depends on you!" Da Changqiu bowed deeply.

Fan Yuqi also bowed solemnly. Originally, he disliked these eunuchs, but the man in front of him was worthy of his respect.

"The king has secretly transferred the Great Wall garrison corps and the country's top talents to Gojoseon, and the navy of the Water King is already waiting in Incheon!" the Grand Chamberlain continued.

Fan Yuqi nodded and watched the figure of Da Changqiu go away. It took him a long time to stand up straight again.

Who could have thought that Prince Xi of Yan, who looked so foolish and abstract, actually did so many things in secret and even placed the future of a country on himself and Yan Chunjun.

King Xi of Yan's vision of the world's situation has surpassed everyone else, and he even understands Ying Zheng and Yan Yan better than they understand themselves.

"Yan State has not lost!" Fan Yuqi looked solemnly in the direction of Yangcheng, his eyes full of determination.
