My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?

Chapter 262 Is there such a prince in the world?

ten days later.

Jicheng Wuyang Hall.

All the officials of Yan State gathered here.

On the high platform, King Yanxi asked energetically: "Has the food and fodder for the troops and horses been collected?"

Shangqing Juguang immediately handed over his hand: "One hundred thousand troops have been stationed outside the city, and a supply of food and grass has been prepared."

"As long as the king gives the order, the army can send troops at any time!"

King Yan stood up happily and shouted excitedly: "Very good!"

“A good opportunity is rare and must not be missed.”

"This time I will personally lead the partial army and lead the expedition in person!"

"We must take advantage of Qin's weakness to defeat the Qin army and open up territory for our great Yan!"

Ju Wu, Li Ke and other ministers sighed in their hearts, but remained silent.

King Yan's kick many years ago not only injured Jiang Qu, but also cut off the path of advancement.

In today's Yan State, the only person left who can ignore himself and serve the country wholeheartedly is General Qu.

Unfortunately, he is not here.

Therefore, a harmonious cry resounded in Wuyang Hall: "May the king win the victory and regain the lost territory for me, Dayan!"

King Yan laughed heartily: "To regain the lost territory for my great Yan, the help of all of you is indispensable!"

"Pass the widow's order!"

However, before Yan Wangxi's order could be uttered, a loud shout suddenly sounded from outside the door:
"Military emergency report!"

"Please see the king!"

Ju Guang smiled and handed over his hand: "It seems that Xiangbang's good news has arrived!"

Yan Wangxi felt something was not right.

If it was really a good news, why were the voices outside the door so anxious and panicked?

King Yan immediately shouted: "Pass it!"

The gate of Wuyang Palace opened, and Magistrate Yan Liu quickly ran into the hall carrying his lower garments, and hurriedly handed over his hands: "Our army was found defeated outside the city."

"The scouts came closer and found out that the leader of the army will be Doctor Yan Badger!"

After saying this, there was silence in Wuyang Hall.

We have just raised the food and fodder for the soldiers to go on the expedition, and the king has just announced that he will go on a personal expedition.

As a result, not only were the front lines defeated, but they even fled back to the capital?
After a brief moment of astonishment, King Yan shouted angrily: "Impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

Ju Guang echoed angrily: "The prime minister's army has 13 troops, while the Qin army's two armies total only [-]. There is a huge difference in military strength."

"Moreover, the Qin army has fought fiercely one after another and traveled thousands of miles away. They will definitely be exhausted."

"How could Xiangbang's troops be so easily defeated by Qin!"

Yanliu said helplessly: "I don't believe it either."

"But what the scouts discovered is indeed the case."

"Therefore, I report this matter to the king and ask for his decision!"

King Yan said immediately: "Send the chariot to the city gate!"

Two quarters of an hour later, the five-horse cart rushed out of the gate of Wuyang Palace, and a large number of carts and horses carrying the officials of the Yan Kingdom followed all the way up, and finally stopped at the west gate of Jicheng.

Stepping out of the car, King Yan was about to give the order when he saw a embarrassed figure riding a horse.

King Yanxi's eyes narrowed: "Yan Badger?!"

Seeing Yan Wangxi from a distance, Yan Badger visibly flinched, then hurriedly dismounted, quickly ran to Yan Wangxi and bowed his hands: "Greetings to the king!"

Seeing Yan Badger and a large number of defeated troops heading towards Jicheng, even though King Yan Xi Zai did not want to believe that Jiang Qu had been defeated, he had to accept this fact.

King Yan asked with a trembling voice: "Why was our army defeated?!"

Yan Badger said bitterly: "Although Lord Chang'an marched thousands of miles northward, the Qin army is not exhausted."

"On the night when Chang'an Jun's troops arrived in Yangjin, our army made a sneak attack at night. However, we discovered that Chang'an Jun's troops also had the intention of making a sneak attack at night. The sneak attack immediately turned into a decisive battle."

"The Qin army is powerful, its soldiers are brave, and it has Lord Chang'an as its commander. Our army is outnumbered and has no choice but to be defeated."

The play is silent, and the officials are silent.

The officials believed that the fundamental support for Yan's victory was that the Qin army was exhausted.

As a result, the Qin army was not only not exhausted, but also in high spirits!

It is natural that the Yan army was defeated.

King Yan's hands trembling in his sleeves were trembling, and he cried out sadly: "I regret not listening to the advice of the prime minister!"

"Where is Xiangbang?!"

The swallow badger stepped aside and said in a low voice, "It's right behind."

King Yanxi hurriedly looked behind Yan Badger and saw that Qu Lang and other family soldiers were not wearing armor, but were wearing mourning clothes and carrying coffins on their shoulders, walking towards Jicheng.

The moment he saw the coffin, King Yan's eyes trembled, and he quickly stepped forward in disbelief: "Ai, Ai Qing?!"

Qu Lang put down the coffin and bowed his hands: "Xiangbang, the soldiers under Qu's command, pay their respects to the king."

King Yan asked with a trembling voice: "Why did I die?"

Qu Lang replied in a hoarse voice: "After the defeat, he committed suicide."

The King of Yan was delighted with the sad sound and cried: "Because of the loss of a few people, my great Yan has lost its troops and generals, and even more so its great sages!"

"I am wrong!"

The King of Yan cried sincerely when he was happy, and his cries were so sad that those who heard them felt sad and those who heard them shed tears.

But Ju Wu and other ministers were expressionless.

When Li Fu died, King Yan Xi cried bitterly as a guarantor, and then continued to ignore the advice and go his own way.

When Ju Xin died, King Yan cried and agreed, but then he still insisted on his own way.

Now that Jiang Qu is dead, King Yan Xi cries louder, but he still won't change his mind.

Qu Lang even turned a blind eye to Yan Wangxi's cries, and just said in a low voice: "Qin General Chang'an, out of respect for the loyalty of the family master, released us and returned to Dayan to bury the family master."

"And order us to tell the king, please bury the head of the family in Wuzhong Mountain."

"If the king is unwilling, Lord Chang'an will come to Jicheng in person to prepare for the family head's funeral." Ju Wu and others looked shocked.

As an enemy general, Chang'an Jun actually worried about the general's death after defeating him, and even threatened King Yan to achieve his wish?
He will be loyal and respectable, and he will become a gentleman who abides by justice!
Who doesn’t hope that his future enemies will be as benevolent and righteous as Ying Chengyu?
Although they are each their own masters, the officials of the Yan Kingdom have a good impression of Ying Chengyu in their hearts.

Qu Lang bowed his hands and said, "We are just passing the message on your behalf. The Qin envoy will arrive in two days."

Hearing the threat conveyed by Qu Lang, King Yan was so frightened that he held back his tears, and immediately said in a deep voice: "My loyal minister of Yan, it is not the Qin people's turn to worry!"

"Xiangbang is loyal to Dayan and died for the country. How can I treat Xiangbang poorly?"

"Pass the widow's order!"

"Bury my great Yan Xiang Bangqu at the foot of Wuzhong Mountain, beside King Zhao's mausoleum, and allow Xiang Bangqu to continue to serve the late king!"

Ju Wu and other ministers all raised their hands: "Your Majesty is kind!"

Qu Lang also breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"In that case, we have nothing to ask for."

After saying this, Qu Lang drew his sword out of its sheath.

Following Qu Lang, more than [-] remaining soldiers all drew their swords!

Ju Guang's pupils narrowed and he strode forward: "What do you want to do!"

"Come on, escort!"

However, Yan Wangxi stopped Ju Guang.

Under the complicated gaze of King Yan, a group of soldiers did not hold the sword to kill the king, but held the sword across their necks and shouted loudly:
"Master, go slowly, I am here to protect you!"

The sword blade slid across his neck, and blood spurted out.

More than three hundred soldiers fell to the ground helplessly, but their heads were facing the direction of his coffin!
Yan Dan praised enthusiastically: "What a strong man."

"They are all loyal people!"

King Yan's voice was quite sad: "This is my order."

"It's a good idea to collect the corpses of all the martyrs, and when the Prime Minister is buried, they will be buried together in the mausoleum to protect them."

The ministers immediately raised their hands: "Wei!"

King Yan turned around to look at the courtiers and said in a low voice: "Now that Qin is powerful, I, the great Yan, have become enemies with Qin."

"My dear friends, do you have any advice?"

The ministers were silent again.

Even if they have advice, Yan Wangxi will not listen, so why only increase Yan Wangxi's dissatisfaction with him?
It is better to wait for King Yan to express his stance first, they just need support.

Only Yan Dan held his hands in confusion: "Father, please seek peace!"

King Yan sighed softly: "I regret not listening to the advice of the prime minister and the prince."

"Now that Qin and Yan have started a war, how can we seek peace?"

Yan Dan had been thinking about this problem for a long time and immediately said: "Qin and Zhao are still at war."

"We, the Great Yan, can immediately send envoys to ask for an audience with the King of Qin and take the initiative to send troops to reinforce Qin."

"The Qin State has been tired of fighting this year, and the harvest in the territory will definitely be poor. I, the Yan State, can also give it food to ease the relationship between the two countries."

King Yan shook his head happily: "If the prime minister is still there, I will definitely send the prime minister to Qin to lobby the king of Qin."

"But now that Xiangbang has passed away, who has enough reputation to attract the attention of the King of Qin, and who has the eloquent words to persuade the King of Qin to make an alliance?"

He has a high prestige among various countries.

In other words, King Xi of Yan did too many things in his dynasty to betray trust and tear up alliances, and all countries had lost the most basic trust in Yan.

In recent years, there is only one person left in Yan State who can be trusted by other countries, General Qu!
After the defeat of Lifu in the past year, King Yan Xi asked for peace, but King Zhao did not see King Yan Xi at all, and directly said: "I will order the general to make peace!" '

Now that Jiang Qu is dead, Yan Dan can't find anyone in his mind who can be trusted by other countries...

Do not!
One more person!
Yan Dan said excitedly: "Father, my son and minister are capable!"

As the master of Yan Dan, Taifu Ju Wu immediately became anxious: "This peace request is a major matter related to the safety of Yan State. How can Prince He De go as an envoy on behalf of Yan?"

"I thought that I should choose another virtuous person, and I asked him to give me generous gifts!"

Yan Dan waved his hand: "Although I have no reputation as a virtuous person in the world, I have been friends with the King of Qin since childhood."

"This prince went to Qin in person to seek peace, and the King of Qin will definitely treat me with courtesy."

"As long as I, Dayan, show my sincerity, the covenant will be fulfilled!"

King Yan smiled and nodded: "Good!"

"The prince's mission to Qin will surely convince the King of Qin."

"Since the prince and the King of Qin have been friends since childhood, why not take this opportunity to stay in Qin for a while to enhance the friendship between Qin and Yan."

Yan Dan was slightly startled: "Stay a little longer?"

"Stay longer, for how long?"

King Yanxi said in a deep voice: "Ling!"

"Take Prince Dan as your envoy to Qin to seek peace."

"With the Crown Prince Pill as a pledge, I ask the State of Qin to trust me, Dayan!"

Yan Dan felt like he was struck by lightning and looked at Yan Wangxi in disbelief.

Father, son and minister only want to be envoys, not protons!

I have just escaped from Zhao State a few years ago!

Erchen is now in his 20s, but he has lived in Yan State for less than six years.

Is there such a prince in the world?

King Yan said sincerely: "I don't want the prince to go to Qin as a hostage."

"But I, Dayan, are in grave danger. As the crown prince, you should shoulder your due responsibilities."

"When the relationship between Qin and Yan eases, I will personally welcome you home!"

Yan Dan suddenly became excited again and shouted: "My son, I will live up to my father's trust!"

Ju Wu closed his eyes bitterly and sighed: "Prince!"

How can you still believe the king's lies?
The king is not a hero with clear rewards and punishments.

As long as you can endure hardship, there will be endless hardships waiting for you!
