King Zhao of Yan, Ji Zhi, led a large group of troops and rushed back to the Kingdom of Yan at lightning speed.
Ji Zhi vomited blood several times during the journey... All the ministers of the Yan State were greatly panicked and tried to advise Ji Zhi to slow down and rest, but Ji Zhi sternly refused.
At this moment, Yan Qi's situation may not have deteriorated to much... How can Ji Zhi rest peacefully?
In this way, the large group of people from Yan State rushed back to Jicheng.
"The king is back! The king is back!" The people of Jicheng cheered with tears in their eyes.
Your Majesty, Your Majesty, do you know what happened during the two months you left?
It only took more than two months for Yan Guo to go from being proud and proud to being knocked back to his original shape.
When King Zhao of Yan Ji Shi first came to the throne, the Kingdom of Yan had just ended a civil war with disastrous consequences. Ji Shi came to the throne during the chaos and spent his whole life working diligently on political affairs and appointing talents, making the Yan country rich and powerful little by little.
Under the leadership of Ji Zhi, the Yan State, which had been poor and weak for many years, finally became powerful and even defeated its great enemy Qi State, almost swallowing up the entire territory of Qi State.
What a hero this is!
"The king is back! Jicheng is at peace!"
"The king is back! The sky is clear..." The people of Yan country cheered and lined the streets to welcome him, waiting for the hero who had led them from poverty and weakness to victory one after another to turn the tide.
King Yanzhao Ji Zhi was weak and half lying on the chariot. After hearing the cheers, he reluctantly sat up and waved to the enthusiastic people of Jicheng.
The people of Jicheng cheered even louder!
As long as the king is here, we can defeat the Qi people!
"Help the widow into the palace and summon the ministers to discuss matters." Ji Zhi covered his mouth with linen cloth and coughed twice before giving the order.
Looking at the linen cloth again, it was clearly stained with blood.
The guards around him couldn't bear it and advised in a low voice: "Your Majesty has come back from a long way and is weak. You might as well rest for a while... Your Majesty is the only one who is at risk for the safety of the Yan Kingdom. Please take care of your health!"
King Yan shook his head resolutely, and everyone could only help Ji Zhi into the main hall.
A moment later, many ministers from the Yan Kingdom hurriedly came from all over the city and gathered together... They looked at Ji Zhi, their eyes full of eagerness and expectation.
No one expected that their king would come back so quickly!
Seeing the dust on King Yan Zhao's robe, everyone knew clearly that his king must have galloped all the way back and summoned the ministers to discuss matters without even taking a break. What kind of unyielding spirit is this?
Many officials of the Yan Kingdom said with tears in their eyes: "Your Majesty... you are finally back."
Ji Lezi, the crown prince of the Yan Kingdom who had caused a big disaster, stood aside timidly, not even daring to breathe.
King Yan Ji Zhi didn't even look at the prince. He sat on the main seat and scanned the ministers. Although he is extremely weak, he is extremely powerful at this moment.
"Who can tell me what is going on now?" Ji Zhi asked slowly.
All the ministers lowered their heads, and no one could speak.
Ji Zhi took a deep breath. Don't be angry. Don't be angry. If you get sick from anger, there will be no one to take care of you...
"How many troops does Dayan have now?" Ji Zhi began to question him in detail.
A minister who looked like a military general stood up and replied in a low voice: "Report to your Majesty - In the battle of Jimo, our army suffered heavy casualties. There were 70,000 to 80,000 casualties in the 200,000-strong army. The rest of the soldiers fled in all directions, and countless people were missing. "
"The Qi people's continuous pursuit, coupled with the attacks by the rebels from all over Qi, made it difficult for our defeated troops to regroup... It is estimated that there will be nine out of ten casualties."
"In the Yan Kingdom, there are only defenders from major cities and fortresses, which total only tens of thousands of people..."
Ji Zhi took a deep breath again, don't be angry, don't be angry...
"What's the current situation of Qi Jun?" Ji Zhi continued to ask.
Another general stood up and said: "Report to your Majesty - the Qi State, with Tian Dan as its commander, has been counterattacking all the way, absorbing the bandits from all over the country, and coercing the people along the way. The number of troops now may be more than 100,000... The enemy is unstoppable... …We have recaptured Linzi a few days ago and are now continuing to advance northward.”
Ji Zhi took a deep breath for the third time...
My blood pressure is high, really high!
Labor and management just go out for a walk, and when they come back, half of the Yan Kingdom is gone?
This is too outrageous!
"How much food and grass does our Yan country have? Is it enough to prepare a new army?" Ji Zhi continued to ask.
The minister who looked like a civil servant stood up and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "Report to your Majesty - Last winter there was heavy snow and extremely cold weather. Our country, Yan, suffered a severe disaster and there was not much food and grass. As you know."
Ji Zhi stopped in Bengbu and asked: "If the whole country's food and grass are put together, isn't it enough to raise an army of 100,000?"
The minister replied: "Well, that's enough... But by the time you train new soldiers in a few months, Qi will have already recovered the entire territory..."
Ji Zhi was angry. He suppressed the urge to vomit blood and felt weak.
After returning to Jicheng and understanding the situation, he realized how bad the situation had become... There was no need for soldiers, and no food for food. Although he wanted to save the situation, there was no way.
Ji Zhi glared at the silent Ji Lezi: "You traitor! I asked you to supervise the country. Is this how you will supervise the country for me?"
When your father and I left, what a good situation I left for you - 200,000 Yan troops with strong horses, strong generals, vast land and many people...
In two months, you have been defeated by me?
Blanch!
King Yan Ji Shi scolded the prince angrily: "If you, a treacherous son, had not replaced the king of Chang Guo, how could the war situation be like this..."
At this point, Ji Zhi suddenly realized - Huh? There seemed to be no figure of Le Yi in front of him.
Ji Zhi glared at Ji Lexi fiercely, with blood all over his body rushing to Tianling Gai: "Where has my Lord Chang Guo gone? Don't tell me that you killed him!?"
Ji Lezi moved her lips twice, and looked at those ministers of the Yan Kingdom who had said that they would testify for the prince in front of the king with pleading eyes... Wherever the prince looked, everyone quickly lowered their heads, their faces filled with tears. The same sentence is written——
'I'm not I'm not looking at me'.
"Asshole! I'm asking you a question!" Ji Zhi stood up with a slap on the table, his pale face full of anger, glaring at the prince Ji Lezi fiercely, wishing he could eat him.
Ji Lezi: "Reporting to the King's Father—Le Yi, Lord of Chang Kingdom, is missing and is suspected of absconding out of fear of crime..."
As he spoke, Ji Lexi seemed to feel that there was still a chance to restore his image: "Well, if Lord Chang Guo had a clear conscience, he would have come back long ago; since he has not come back for a long time, he must have had different intentions... Er Chen will him Withdrawing it can be regarded as the right decision..."
Halfway through Ji Lexi's words, he suddenly realized that the hall was deathly silent.
Looking up again, I found that Ji Zhi's big face was as ferocious as a demon... Ji Zhi was already furious!
King Yanzhao Ji Zhi slowly walked down from the throne, his face so gloomy that he could squeeze out water. He stared closely at the prince in front of him, his whole body filled with an aura of violence that was unfamiliar to the ministers——
Suddenly, King Yan Zhao stopped——
…
