Chapter 954 Encounter with the Red Flame Cavalry [Subscription*Monthly Ticket Request]

"The king has passed away, and Yan has surrendered. I hope that the general and Qin will treat the people of Yan well!"

Ju Wu looked at Wang Jian who was kneeling on the ground and begging.

"Okay!" Wang Jian naturally agreed.

Just as Wang Jian finished speaking, he saw Ju Wu suddenly draw out the long sword of the guard beside him and slash it towards his neck.

"No!" Wang Ben and Li Xin discovered Ju Wu's behavior at the first moment, and took decisive action to knock the sword out of Ju Wu's hand.

"The State of Yan has been destroyed. How can Wu still have the face to live in this world!" Ju Wu looked at Wang Jian, Wang Ben and other Qin generals with red eyes.

Wang Jian and others were all military generals, and they didn't know how to persuade this man who was determined to die.

But Ju Wu must not die.

The King of Yan has hanged himself, and Yan Chunjun and Fan Yuqi are on the run. If Ju Wu also commits suicide on the battlefield, they will not have captured any heavyweight figures of the Yan State in this battle. That would be imperfect and not conducive to their future control of the Yan State.

Therefore, Ju Wu must not die. They need someone to help the Qin army gather and persuade the people of Yan. Otherwise, even if they conquer Yan, the difficulty of controlling Yan will increase exponentially.

The king passed away and the prime minister died. This was telling the State of Yan that their royal family had not lost the Yan people's blood.

It is conceivable how fierce the Yan people’s resistance would be if Ju Wu had also died on the battlefield.

"Prime Minister, are you willing to see the people of Yan die in a war that could have been avoided?" Xin Sheng tried to comfort Ju Wu.

It is not difficult to destroy the State of Yan, but it is difficult to control the State of Yan.

From those righteous men who committed suicide by jumping off the city walls and lived and died with the State of Yan, they all knew that the number of righteous men in Yan and Zhao was not an exaggeration.

If Ju Wu really died in front of them, the Yan people's bloodiness would be completely aroused. At that time, even if they destroyed the Yan State, they would still be resisted by the people from all over the Yan State, causing many unnecessary casualties.

The officials of the State of Yan who followed Ju Wu heaved a sigh of relief when they saw Wang Ben and Li Xin knock away the sword that Ju Wu used to commit suicide.

If Ju Wu really committed suicide, would they follow him?
If they did not follow, even if the Qin army accepted them, the people under their rule would despise them, thinking that they had lost the blood of the Yan people.

If they followed, they would not be willing to sacrifice their own lives.

"Although it is a bit unjust, if the Prime Minister is determined to die, my Great Qin will massacre the entire Yan army!" Xin Sheng continued.

He really didn't dare to let Ju Wu die, so he had to use the entire Yan army to threaten Ju Wu.

Ju Wu looked at Xin Sheng with red eyes.

He agreed to King Xi of Yan's request and was prepared, but when the time really came, he found that he could not bear the pressure and wanted to die.

Sometimes living requires more courage than dying.

After saying this, Xin Sheng didn't dare to look at Ju Wu again.

Just as he said, this was extremely inhumane. Using the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers in the entire Yan army to force a righteous man, he would not be able to live like a human being if the news got out.

Ju Wu looked at Wang Jian, Wang Ben, Li Xin and others. Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look at him.

It is really immoral and unrighteous to do this, but they have no choice but to do it.

"I hope the general will do what he says!" Ju Wu closed his eyes and said weakly.

"Yes!" Wang Jian breathed a sigh of relief.

Accepting surrender is really uncomfortable, especially when encountering such a strong and righteous man. Ju Wu also sent the national seal and map of Yan to Wang Jian. After Wang Jian solemnly took the tray, he also saw Ju Wu ordering the Yan soldiers to lay down their weapons and go out of the city to accept the prisoners of Qin.

The Qin army finally entered Jicheng slowly after accepting the surrender. It did not disturb the people of Jicheng, but only occupied Jicheng, changed its flag, and completely occupied the capital and palace of Yan.

"Did King Xi of Yan really hang himself?" Wang Ben and Li Xin were ordered to occupy the Yan royal palace, but they still found it difficult to accept this fact.

"This kind of thing can't be faked!" Wang Ben shook his head.

King Xi of Yan's actions still left the Qin army with many doubts, but with King Xi of Yan's suicide, these questions became difficult to find answers to.

"Alas, according to statistics, Ju Wu led the people to surrender, and more than 3,000 righteous men of Yan State died for their country. Among them, almost all the eunuchs in the Yan Palace were buried with the Yan State!" Li Xin said with emotion.

They occupied the palace of King Yan, but hardly saw any eunuchs from Yan.

Almost all the eunuchs in the palace hanged themselves in the palace together with Prince Xi of Yan.

"If all Yan people are like this, it will be extremely difficult for us to destroy the State of Yan!" Wang Ben couldn't help but sigh.

"So, it is those parasites in Yan State who should be damned!" Li Xin said sullenly.

If these people were not needed to help maintain order, he would have ordered them all to be killed.

Although Yan State had so many brave and fearless heroes, it was destroyed because of a group of parasites occupying high positions.

"Talk less. Our next mission is probably to pursue Yan Chunjun, Fan Yuqi, and the Great Wall garrison of Yan State." Wang Ben didn't want to make any further comments.

How to deal with these surrenderers and those heroes who died for their country is the business of the higher-ups. They will be in real danger next.

The real elite troops of Yan State are still the ones under the command of Yan Chunjun and Fan Yuqi, and they have almost no map of Jizi's Korea. If they really pursue them rashly, they may be wiped out.

"Don't chase a desperate enemy!" Li Xin shook his head and was reluctant to take this task.

King Xi of Yan sent all of Yan's elite troops to Gojoseon, the Kingdom of Jizi. If they pursue them rashly, the consequences will be unpredictable.

However, the order came soon. The central army ordered Wang Ben to be the main general and Li Xin to be the deputy general, leading an army of 100,000 into Gojoseon to pursue the remnants of the Yan army.

Although Wang Ben and Li Xin didn't want to, they had to do it.

"Stop!" When the Qin army arrived at the Liaodong border and the Hushan Great Wall, they were blocked by a group of about 5,000 cavalrymen wearing red armor.

"How come the Red Flame Cavalry appear here!" Wang Ben and Li Xin were both stunned.

The long river blocks the way, and on the other side is Gojoseon. The outline of the same tall Great Wall also appears on this side of the river, behind the Red Flame Cavalry.

"Who are you?" Wang Ben waved his hand to signal the Qin soldiers not to act rashly, and rode forward with Li Xin.

"Bingzhou, the vanguard general of the Eastern Army, the commander of the Red Flame Cavalry, Han Xin!" Han Xin also rode forward.

"You are Han Xin!" Wang Ben and Li Xin were somewhat surprised at Han Xin's youth.

They didn't know Han Xin, but they knew how terrifying the Red Flame Cavalry was. However, they didn't expect that such elite Red Flame Cavalry would be handed over to such a young general.

"I, Wang Ben (Li Xin), follow the order of the commander-in-chief to enter Gojoseon and pursue the remnants of the Yan army. Please let us go, General Han Xin!" Wang Ben and Li Xin asked politely.

The Red Flame Cavalry were guarding the pass of the Hushan Great Wall. If the Red Flame Cavalry did not let them pass, they would probably have to fight with the Red Flame Cavalry.

This is not something they can decide.
