The Sword Dynasty - 867. Chapter 866
When Jiaodong County was peaceful, and even some of the small clansmen of Jiaodong County who originally belonged to the Zheng family became accustomed to the Bashan sword field and the Chu army’s rule, in the Yan Realm, the Yan army and the Yan people were ushering in the darkest of the dynasty. Time.
Within a hundred miles of the border between Qin and Yan, the Yan army left more than 300,000 corpses of soldiers.
Compared with the total number of Yanqi coalition forces before, the loss of 300,000 Yanjun does not seem to be alarming.
However, since the defeat in Guanzhong until now, after the Yan army in the former Yanqi coalition left the bodies of more than 300,000 colleagues, there are only less than 400,000 left.
The most important thing is that a Qin army has quietly separated the Qi army and the Yan army.
What made Yan people want to cry without tears is that from beginning to end, the Qin army used the absolute main force to chase and kill the Yan army.
The army of the Qi Dynasty did not encounter strong resistance from the Qin army during its retreat.
At this time, the purpose of the Qi army is also very obvious-the reinforcements of the Qi army are all reunited in several border towns on the border of the Qi army.
In fact, Yan Ren also knows that if the roles of the two parties are exchanged, Yan Ren’s idea must be the same as Qi Ren’s, to lose as few cities as possible, and to preserve his army as much as possible.
The power of the Qin Army is not unlimited. When the Qin Army abuses the Yan Realm and consumes all of its strength, it is impossible to attack the Qi Realm, and the Daqi Dynasty has a chance to breathe.
Cup Tucheng is one of the fortresses of Yanjing border city. In the past, there were 50,000 Yan army stationed here, as well as tens of thousands of prisoners and hard labor sent here.
However, there was almost no sound in the Beitu City at this time, that is, there was no dog barking, and occasionally there were some crows calling, which made one’s heart palpitating.
There was a thin layer of floating soil in the entire Cuptu City. Many courtyards just concealed their doors, and even some courtyards did not even have time to collect the clothes that were hanging out.
All the sergeants of Beitu City, including those prisoners and hard laborers, set out more than ten days ago to pick up most of Yan Yan’s defeat.
It’s just that none of these people were able to come back.
The reinforcements that set off here all died in Kushuidu.
It was in that battle that the General Yan Army and the Qi Army were completely separated, and the general who personally led the Qin Army was Bai Qi, the general of the Qin Army at this time.
The figure of Prince Yan Ji Dan appeared in front of a courtyard.
He looked at this master who seemed to be out only for a short time, but in reality the master never returned to the courtyard, his eyes were full of sadness.
This is the home of a general in Beitucheng.
And this general, when he was in Yan Shangdu, was a classmate with him, and he used to study under the same teacher.
More rapid footsteps and horse hooves sounded in the dead streets.
The sound of horseshoes finally stopped around the courtyard.
Several generals covered with dust in the armor gaps got off their horses and walked into the courtyard silently.
“His Royal Highness.”
A general whose face was covered under the armor mask saluted coldly, and said with a cold voice: “You shouldn’t leave the army here alone.”
Ji Dan smiled bleakly, and said, “Is you worried about my safety, or worried about my escape?”
The general stiffened slightly and did not respond for a while.
“I just came here to mourn the deceased.”
Ji Dan took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, shook his head, and said with a very mixed emotion: “Father, after all, is still begging Yuanwu for peace?”
The general was silent for a moment, nodded, and said, “Yes.”
“What’s the price?” Ji Dan also calmed down, looking at this general who was familiar with him, but now in front of him, he didn’t even want to remove his mask.
The general also controlled his mood and said slowly, “Your Royal Highness.”
“I was the person who walked closest to Zhang Yi before, and before the start of this war, I tried my best to oppose those who went out to attack Qin regardless of the meaning of the Bashan sword field. From Yuan Wu’s point of view, if something happens in the Yan realm, , If I replace the emperor father, the power of the swallow will go to the Bashan sword field.” Ji Dan looked at the general with a wry smile and said, “So he will definitely miss me dead.”
“It’s just as a general in my country. Looking back now, do you think my objection is justified?” After a pause, Ji Dan took a deep breath and looked at the general pleadingly, “Think about it again. Now, in the situation of the Yan Dynasty, is it useful to kill me and ask Yuan Wu for peace, or is it not as useful as to directly ask for help from the Bashan Sword Field? Keep me, let me go to see Zhang Yi, to see Ding Ning, regardless of my Yan Dynasty How many people will die in the end, but the ending will not be as bleak as Han Zhaowei.”
The general was silent for a long time, shook his head, and said, “But respect the emperor’s fate, these are not things I’m considering.”
Ji Dan laughed.
His smile was not only full of bitterness, but also an unspeakable tragic: “So the general general is dead, otherwise he will not let you kill me. Father is really a faint king.”
“Shut up!” The general sternly said: “There is a difference between monarchs and ministers. Your idea is just your wishful thinking. In the eyes of others, what we Yan Dynasty needs most now is the time to breathe.”
“You think that after taking this breath, the Qin Dynasty will be exhausted, and then Yuan Wu and Bashan sword field will fight, maybe you can sit and watch the fisherman’s profit?” Ji Dan also laughed sharply, “you fools. Fools, if you do this, Ding Ning and Zhang Yi will be even more disappointed in you. They will never intervene in Yan’s affairs anymore, they will just let the flow take its course and watch Yuan Wu’s general Yan annihilate.”
“And the most important thing is not at this point.” Before the general couldn’t help but speak out, Ji Dan continued to sternly said: “A dynasty does not lie in how much wealth, how many practitioners and how many troops there are. , And it depends on whether you have your own backbone. In order to seek peace, even I have been killed. Then this dynasty has lost everything, and if it loses its own spirit, it is impossible to turn over.”
The general’s chest rose and fell violently.
The chests of several generals beside him are the same, even under the thick armor.
“Stupid.”
However, looking at their gazes, Ji Dan knew that their minds would not change.
“Stupid!”
“Sad!”
“A good emperor for half a lifetime, but his reputation is ruined!”
“Look at what you are afraid of.”
“I will kill myself and hang my head on the upper capital city tower to let me see how my Yan dynasty perishes.”
In the repeated voices of grief, a sword light flew up in Ji Dan’s hand, and his head separated from his body, leaping up with the blood.
Although he was dead, his eyes were wide open, and he glared at him.
These generals bowed their heads, not daring to look into his eyes, but wrapped his head with a roll of cloth.
