Chapter 532: Chapter 223: Colluding with Foreign Tribes? Qin, Ying Zheng’s Relief!
Directly looked towards Li You: “General Li.”
“I am here.” Li You quickly walked over.
“Lead your troops outside the city to receive the defectors, register and compile records.”
“Set up a defector camp for supervision.” Zhao Feng said in a deep voice.
“I accept the orders.” Li You responded immediately.
“Wei Quan.”
Zhao Feng called out again.
“I am here.” Wei Quan quickly rode over.
“Lead your cavalry troops out of the city with me, continue the attack.” Zhao Feng commanded coldly.
Now Yuyang City has been secured.
The sharp warriors under his command had rested for a night, and the opportunity for battle could not be missed.
Next.
Zhao Feng would advance with cavalry, launching a fierce attack on the reinforcement from Yan.
As for the handling of defectors in Yuyang City, with Li You and Tu Sui present, naturally there wouldn’t be much of a surprise.
“Report the Yuyang battle situation quickly.”
“This time.”
“I plan to seize Ji City in one swift move.” Zhao Feng said in a deep voice.
“Senior General.”
“Yue Cheng has been captured by our army, how should he be dealt with?” Zhang Ming then remembered Yue Cheng’s presence and asked immediately.
“This Yue Cheng seems loyal and righteous yet lacks Qing Qin’s resolve.”
“Since that’s the case.”
“Let him die.”
Regarding Yue Cheng, Zhao Feng was even too lazy to meet him, directly ordering his execution.
—————–
Time flew by!
Ji City!
Yan Court.
“Urgent report.”
“Our forces sent to reinforce Yuyang City have been defeated by the Qin Army with heavy losses.”
The messenger rushed into the hall, kneeling to report.
“What?”
“It’s only been a few days?”
“Yuyang City is defended by 300,000 Yan troops, how could the Qin Army breach the defenses and defeat the reinforcements?”
“That’s impossible!”
King of Yan exclaimed with shock.
“Great King.”
“Perhaps the Qin Army took a detour.” A minister spoke up.
“Impossible.”
“Yuyang City is a crucial hub for Yan, if the Qin Army dared to detour, the troops stationed at Yuyang City could always cut them off, Qing Qin wouldn’t just watch the Qin Army trespass.” King of Yan responded immediately.
This time to defend Yuyang City.
King of Yan had issued a death decree, ensuring full support.
“Report.”
At this moment!
Another messenger rushed into the hall.
“Reporting to the Great King.”
“Yuyang has been conquered by the Qin Army, already fallen.”
The messenger reported fearfully.
“What?”
The King of Yan’s face turned pale.
Even more panicked than hearing of the defeat of the reinforcements.
The army stationed at Yuyang was his last hope.
If it truly falls, then with the Qin Army attacking all the way, his Ji City would truly lack any fortified defense.
“We have 300,000 elite troops, how could it fall so quickly?”
“How did Qing Qin defend?”
The King of Yan asked with a heavy tone from his throne.
“Reporting to the Great King.”
“Senior General Qing Qin has already committed suicide.” The messenger reported fearfully.
Upon hearing these words.
The entire court was shocked.
“Why is this?”
“How could the Senior General commit suicide?”
“There’s no reason?”
“The Senior General defended Yuyang, even Zhao General Pang Xuan’s attack could not break through.”
“Even if the Qin Army is strong, they couldn’t have conquered Yuyang in just a few days, right?”
“Did Yue Cheng betray us?”
“Highly possible.”
“Yue Cheng once betrayed Yan, defecting to the Zhao state, now with Qin attacking, Yue Cheng would certainly revert to his old tricks.”
“Such a despicable person indeed is laughable to the extreme.”
“Yuyang City was Yan’s most important defensive line, once it breaks, Yan is in grave danger…”
The ministers in the court all showed drastically changed expressions.
Originally solemn, the court instantly became noisy.
“Enough!”
The King of Yan shouted angrily, his face had turned livid.
The entire court was enveloped in an extremely oppressive atmosphere.
“Great King, calm down.” The ministers all bowed.
“Why did Qing Qin commit suicide?” The King of Yan looked at the messenger, his tone heavy.
Regarding Yue Cheng.
He might be worried, but he had complete trust in Qing Qin.
If it wasn’t really at the point of no return, Qing Qin would definitely not commit suicide.
“Reporting to the Great King.”
“The Senior General fell victim to Qin Army’s tactics…”
The messenger explained the situation they had received.
Hearing this.
The King of Yan’s face grew even more sullen.
“The loss of 300,000 troops.”
“Yan state.”
“Really is facing extinction.” The King of Yan sighed inwardly.
But upon another thought.
An unnamed anger surged in the King of Yan’s heart.
“Rebellious son, all of this is because of that rebellious son. If he hadn’t tried to assassinate King of Qin, my Yan wouldn’t have ended up in such a situation.”
“If Qi and Chu would come to aid, Yan wouldn’t be so isolated.” The King of Yan felt extremely furious.
This situation was entirely the fault of that rebellious son.
“Great King.”
“Yuyang City has already been breached by the Qin Army, the loss of 300,000 troops.”
“What should we do for Yan?”
One minister asked with a heavy expression.
“Proclaim my decree.”
“Gather all available forces to defend Ji City.”
“Send emissaries to seek help from Qǐ and Chu, promise that if they aid Yan, I’m willing to cede twenty cities to each state.” The King of Yan said through gritted teeth.
“Great King.”
“Originally, most of Yan’s main forces were stationed at Yuyang, the fifteen thousand reinforcements sent were also defeated by the Qin Army, although many escaped, their combat strength isn’t strong.”
“Even if they all gather at Ji City, our forces are no more than 150,000.”
“Facing the Qin Army that is like a tiger and wolf, it’s impossible to block them.”
“Even if Qi and Chu are willing to send troops, Yan might not hold out for that long.”
Sima Lin stood up and said.
“First gather the troops.”
“As for after, I will have decisions made.”
The King of Yan sighed.
With a sense of helplessness.
“Alright.”
“Dismiss the court.”
The King of Yan waved weakly.
Harem.
Yan King’s chamber.
“Minister pays respects to the Great King.”
Sima Lin entered the hall, respectfully bowing to the King of Yan.
“Minister Sima.”
