"Found it, found it!"

A few days later, Luowang's Chi-level spy broke into Hei Bai Xuan Jian's tent.

"Where?" Hei Bai Xuan Jian also stood up immediately.

"Hushan Great Wall!" The Luowang spy immediately handed the information to Hei Bai Xuan Jian.

Hei Bai Xuan Jian took the superstition and read it carefully.

It turned out that after the battle of Yangcheng, the Great Wall garrison corps was transferred to the north by King Xi of Yan. After teaching a lesson to the Wuhuan, Xianbei and other tribes in the north of Yan who were ready to make moves, they returned to the Hushan Great Wall from the Wuhuan tribe. Later, Yan Chunjun and Fan Yuqi also appeared at the Hushan Great Wall and led the Great Wall garrison corps into Jizi Korea.

Because they had been operating in barren and remote areas, the Luowang spies were unable to find any trace of them.

It was not until Hei Bai Xuan Jian ordered his men to keep an eye on Yan Chunjun and Fan Yuqi that they discovered traces of the Great Wall Garrison Corps from their movements.

"This..." Hei Bai Xuan Jian also understood why he couldn't find it.

However, this result was far beyond their expectations.

The threat posed by the Qin army is not as great as that of the barbarians?

They actually sent such a main force for decisive battles to fight against the Wuhuan, Xianbei, and Gojoseon. This was an act of contempt for the Qin State and the Qin Army.

Hei Bai Xuan Jian dared to guarantee that if he handed this information to Wang Jian, it would definitely arouse public anger.

The Qin army's generals and soldiers would definitely think that they were looked down upon by the Yan State.

Some even suspected that Luowang had deliberately created false information because it could not find the Great Wall garrison corps.

However, Hei Bai Xuan Jian did not think much about it. Even if these generals thought he was spreading false information, so what? He passed on what he had found out. Whether or not to believe it was Wang Jian's business.

If anyone dared to say anything more to him, his Xuan Jian would not be at a disadvantage.

Except for Ying Zheng and Fusu, in Qin State, he did not need anyone's recognition or approval, nor did he need to give face to anyone.

So when Hei Bai Xuan Jian handed the information he received to Wang Jian, the entire Qin army camp looked at Hei Bai Xuan Jian with suspicion, but they only dared to doubt and did not dare to question out loud.

Although Wang Jian looked down on Hei Bai Xuan Jian, he never showed it.

Although he also doubted the authenticity of this information, he still chose to trust it.

Because although Hei Bai Xuan Jian was very good at flattering Ying Zheng, he had never made any mistakes at work as the leader of Luowang.

So, you can doubt Hei Bai Xuan Jian's character, but you cannot doubt his work ability.

"Everyone!" Wang Jian stretched out his hand to quiet down the generals who were whispering to each other.

"We have most likely been fooled by King Xi of Yan!" Although Wang Jian was reluctant to admit it, that was the fact.

All the generals and soldiers were stunned. How could it be related to King Xi of Yan again? Was he playing a trick on them?

"The State of Yan chose to cut off its tail in order to survive, and transferred all of Yan's elite troops to Gojoseon. Relying on its strategic depth, it gave up Jicheng!" Wang Jian explained calmly.

This also means that their entire military shogunate has been playing games with the air during this period, and the other party has no intention of fighting them properly.

Even his own caution was within Yan Wangxi's expectations, which allowed Yan Wangxi to have time to educate both the Wuhuan and Xianbei, and then calmly transferred the army to Jizi Korea.

This gave them ample time to transfer all the elite troops from the country.

Thinking of this, Wang Jian wanted to slap himself. If he had known that King Yan was going to play badly, he would have ordered his men to bypass Shicheng and rush to the Great Wall to occupy the Great Wall before Bingzhou.

Now, even if they captured Jicheng and destroyed Yan State, the main force of Yan State escaped, and the Great Wall fell into the hands of Bingzhou. Even if they won this battle, they would not have achieved their goal.

"Attack the city, attack the city, attack the city. I will see you at the foot of Jicheng in three days!" Wang Jian was very angry. He claimed to be an expert in military strategy, but he was led by the nose all the way. This was not only a loss of the Great Wall, but also a loss of face for him, Wang.

Therefore, Wang Jian became more and more angry as he thought about it, and decisively ordered an attack on the city.

Since Yan Guo doesn't want to live, then I, Wang, will send him off!
The Qin army soldiers looked at Wang Jian who was angry and raised an army, and remained silent without trying to persuade him.

Anyone who has been playing chess with the air for so long would be filled with anger, not to mention that even if they win this battle, they will not have achieved their goal completely.

Unless they can take back control of the Great Wall from Bingzhou, this is completely a pipe dream. Bingzhou will never give them control of the Great Wall.

Both Qin and Bing were well aware of the importance of the Great Wall, and whoever occupied the Great Wall would not easily hand it over to the other.

At the Shicheng Fortress of Yan State, Ju Wu was inspecting the pass as usual, but suddenly he discovered a huge army rolling in like a dragon from afar, and it was clear that the Qin army had finally launched an attack on the Shicheng Fortress.

"Enemy attack!" Ju Wu directly ordered the war drums to be beaten.

In the Battle of Yangcheng, they did not put up much resistance. Without the Great Wall garrison corps, the personnel they temporarily transferred to take over the defense did not have enough time to completely take control of the fortifications, so Ju Wu did not put up much defense in Yangcheng.

Therefore, the main force of the Yan army is still intact and has completely retreated to the Shicheng Fortress, relying on the Yishui River for defense.

Even if there was no Great Wall garrison corps, it would not be so easy for the Qin army to capture Shicheng.

You have to know that Yan State did not do nothing over the years. At least after knowing that they would be the next target of Qin State, the defensive fortifications of Shicheng Fortress were comprehensively renovated.

What's more, in the initial plan, Yan State did not include the Great Wall garrison corps in the battle sequence.

It was only because Bingzhou suddenly declared war on Donghu that the Great Wall Corps was freed up.

In Zhuangzi's "On Swords", the Emperor's sword also uses the Stone City of Yan State as its tip, which is enough to illustrate the strategic significance of the Stone City.

Therefore, even if the Qin army was at its peak, it would be impossible for them to capture Shicheng in a short period of time.

Before the Qin army could get close to Shicheng, they encountered delaying attacks from Yan army squads in the villages and towns outside Shicheng.

It also caused the morale of the Qin army, which had originally attacked in anger, to begin to decline.

Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.

Because of the delay in the outer defense of Shicheng, by the time the main force of the Qin army arrived under Shicheng, generals such as Wang Jian had calmed down.

The Stone City was not so easy to attack. Even without the Great Wall garrison, they were still at a disadvantage as the attackers.

The Yan army was completely well-rested and waiting for them to arrive.

However, Wang Jian did not order to stop the attack.

At least we have to fight one battle to determine the defensive strength of the Yan army.

"It may be difficult to capture Shicheng in a short time!" Qin's left guard, Fengchang Ling Xin Sheng, sighed.

It is impossible for the Yan army to allow them to advance straight in without any resistance.

After all, he was one of the only seven surviving princes after the Spring and Autumn Period.

"Let's take it step by step!" Wang Jian was also very clear about the facts.

This is a normal war.
