"The Donghu and the Xiongnu are a force, but they are foreign races."
...
King Yan was a little moved, but also a little entangled. In this era, there was a big difference between China and the barbarians.
The Central Plains China has always been aloof and looked down upon the barbarians. It was a shame for the Central Plains dynasty when Rong Di captured Hao Jing.
He is from the lineage of King Yan, but he is a descendant of the orthodox Zhou royal family. If he does such a thing, the reputation of Ji's lineage will be over.
Moreover, once Donghu and the Huns are lured south, it is easy to say that he will win. Once defeated, he will definitely die.
Even his lineage as King Yan will disappear into thin air.
Precisely because of this, King Xi of Yan was extremely entangled in his heart. If he did not lead the Huns and the Donghu army to the south, he was no match for Li Mu and could only watch the Yan Kingdom be destroyed.
However, by leading the foreign tribes of Donghu and Xiongnu southward, he would be staring at the pillar of shame, and even extirpate himself from the world.
"We haven't reached that point yet. We must not lead Donghu and the Xiongnu southward until the end. Otherwise, the Central Plains is so vast that there will be no place for us and others."
At this moment, King Yan stared at the deputy general with joy and said word by word: "After all, we are of the Yanhuang lineage and Chinese people. How can we associate with the barbarians?"
"I would rather give the land of Yan to the sworn enemy of Qin Wangzheng than to a foreign tribe!"
In the end, King Yan made up his mind. His concerns were not something ordinary military commanders could understand.
After all, he is an orthodox member of the Ji family, and the arrogance in his heart is not something that ordinary people can understand.
The Central Plains can only be the Central Plains of Yanhuang. How can a mere barbarian get involved in the Central Plains?
With a decision in his mind, King Yan turned his head towards the deputy general and said:
"Send the order to repair Yuyang City and try to block Li Mu's army. Li Mu mostly has cavalry and is not good at attacking the city. We will just defend it."
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, the deputy general sighed and walked out of the mansion. Although Yuyang City was there, he had no hope of holding it or not.
Their opponent is not an ordinary military general, but a famous general in the world, Li Mu, the former Lord of Wu'an of Zhao Kingdom.
The most important thing is that General Wang Jian of the Qin Dynasty is currently outside Jicheng.
With Li Mu and Wang Jian responding to each other, not even the Chu State could bear it, let alone the weak Yan State.
At this moment, he truly realized that being weak was the original sin.
Three days later, Li Mu led his army to arrive outside Yuyang City. Under the offensive of 150,000 border troops, Yuyang was in danger.
Facing a military master like Li Mu, King Xi of Yan actually had no choice. Even if the opponent used cavalry to attack the city, the Yan army was still struggling to cope.
On the cloud chariot, Li Mu looked solemn. Yuyang was a great city. Even though it was not as good as Jicheng, it was still an important city in the north of the Yan Kingdom.
Yuyang City was not only built tall, but also had a lot of reserves of grain, grass and weapons in the city, which added countless difficulties to Li Mu's attack on the city.
"General, most of our cavalry only has 50,000 infantry. After the battle in the upper valley, we have suffered some losses, and the infantry has only 40,000."
Feng Jie's eyes were full of light, and he also longed for war.
As an official of Da Qin, he naturally knew that only through military exploits could one gain a better foothold in Da Qin.
It is the desire of all warriors to be granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister.
"Forty thousand infantry are enough to conquer such a city."
At this moment, Li Mu smiled confidently and gave the order decisively: "Send the order, catapults, crossbowmen push forward, siege vehicles attack the city."
"The cloud chariots advance, the trench chariots advance, the cavalry prepares to intercept and kill the Yan army, and the infantry follows up."
"The first person to climb the city will be promoted to a higher official position and be rewarded with a thousand gold coins——!"
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Sima of the Chinese army shouted: "The general has an order: catapults, crossbowmen push forward, siege vehicles attack the city."
"The cloud chariots advance, the trench chariots advance, the cavalry prepares to intercept and kill the Yan army, and the infantry follows up."
"The first person to climb the city will be promoted to a higher official position and be rewarded with a thousand gold coins——!"
The five-color flag was fluttering, flags were played one after another, the war drums were rumbling, and the general's order was conveyed. At this moment, Li Mu launched his attack.
"咻咻咻......"
Arrows filled the sky, rocks pierced the sky, and the atmosphere of war swept across Yuyang.
Yuyang City Head.
King Yan's face was solemn, and the deputy general continued to give orders, directing the army to respond.
The war has broken out and they have no choice but to fight to the death.
...
Jicheng.
"General, Young Master, General Li Mu has sent news that in seven days, King Yan Xi will enter Liaodong."
Dunruo's face was solemn, and he had no doubt about this news. After all, that man was no less famous than Wang Jian.
"Um!"
Wang Jian nodded.
He was not surprised at all by this situation, and in the past few days, all the generals of Great Qin had commanded their armies to attack. Except for him and Zhao Shu, they had all taken turns.
After thinking this, Wang Jian turned towards Zhao Shu and said, "Sir, now Li Mu has forced King Yan Xi into Liaodong as required."
"It's time for us to break the city."
"Not urgent!"
Hearing this, Zhao Shu shook his head. He turned to Wang Jian and said, "Let the generals try it once. When King Yan is happy to enter Liaodong, at the same time, spread this news throughout Yan."
"Wait until the civil servants sent by the imperial court arrive at Jicheng before attacking the city."
"Um."
Nodding slightly, Wang Jian understood Zhao Shu's intention in an instant, and nodded after thinking for a moment.
For him, as long as it is beneficial to Da Qin, he will not refuse.
"Sir, if we force King Xi of Yan like this, will he lead the Donghu and Xiongnu armies southward?" After pondering for a long time, Wang Jian said to Zhao Shu.
There is a saying that rabbits bite people when they are anxious, let alone King Yan.
Once the King of Yan wants to lure the Xiongnu and Donghu southward, the situation they created will be defeated at once.
This is extremely detrimental to Da Qin.
"Hmph, I wish the King of Yan would like to lure the Xiongnu and Donghu southward."
Zhao Shu sneered and said in a faint tone: "As long as the King of Yan is willing to lure the Donghu and the Xiongnu southward, the King of Yan will have no choice but to die to apologize, and the King of Yan will be extinct from the Central Plains."
"Not only can we weaken the power of Donghu and the Xiongnu, but we can also make the people of Yan hate the lineage of King Yan and recognize Da Qin."
"In Dai County, there are 50,000 troops guarding it, and in the Shanggu Yuyang area, there are 150,000 troops, and there is even a famous general named Li Mu who is familiar with the foreign races in the north."
"If a war breaks out, within a short period of time, I will lead one hundred thousand Great Qin warriors north to join the war. At the same time, the Great Qin warriors guarding Jiuyuan can also take action."
"General Meng Tian, hasn't he already gone to Jiuyuan? I think the king is also taking precautions against this."
"When the time comes, we will use the strength of the Qin Dynasty to attack with an army of three to four hundred thousand people. We can't plow the court and sweep the holes without trying."
Compared to the war in the Central Plains, Zhao Shu was more enthusiastic about the war in Mobei.
The annexation of the six kingdoms was just to unify the world, while sending troops to Mobei was an achievement of opening up the territory and expanding the territory.
