Chapter 502: Fengguo withdraws its troops and the destruction of Yan is underway
Mid-December of the sixth year of Taichu.
Heavy snow fell for several consecutive days, covering the mountains and the land.
It was difficult for the armies of all sides to march.
Therefore, there has been no war recently.
After leaving the capital of Qi, envoy Su Qin traveled very quickly.
A few days earlier than Zhang Yi, he arrived at the Fengtian Army.
After Su Qin told Fei Lian everything.
This caused the latter to shake his head and sigh unwillingly:
"The State of Yan...is no longer safe."
"A few days ago, His Majesty issued an order that if Qi does not form an alliance with us, then we should withdraw our troops."
"If we retreat, who can stop Qin from destroying Yan?"
"Rely on the Emperor of Yan? Yan's elite troops have been almost completely wiped out."
Hearing this, Su Qin spoke without panic:
"Marshal, you and I both know that after Li Jing's defeat, Emperor Li Shimin of Yan also suffered a great defeat."
"The State of Yan can no longer be saved..."
"Although I didn't promote the alliance between the two countries this time, I gained a lot."
"Emperor Jifa of Qi is interested in forming an alliance with our Feng. I estimate that after defeating Yan, Qi will take the initiative to send envoys to our Dafeng."
As soon as these words were spoken.
Fei Lian's face lit up with joy, "Really?"
If Yan were to form an alliance with Qi after its demise, it would naturally not be afraid of Qin.
Su Qin bowed solemnly and said, "I am willing to guarantee it with my life and property."
Fei Lian shook his hand and said, "Not only did our Dafeng expedition gain nothing, but we also suffered heavy casualties. But it doesn't matter."
"With your help, my Dafeng army will survive just like the Flying Elephant Army!"
He was a man of great discernment and could see the value embodied by Su Qin.
Three days later, Feng State withdrew its troops.
At the same time, Zhang Yi also arrived at the Qin army camp.
At this moment, Qin Emperor Ying Yuan, Cao Cao and others were all sitting steadily in the big tent.
Listening to Zhang Yi's report.
Afterwards, Ying Yuan sighed and thought:
"How come things are going against our wishes again?"
After listening to what Zhang Yi said, Cao Cao and others roughly guessed how the situation would develop in the future.
They heard the emperor sigh.
I thought he was worried about the future of the Qi-Feng alliance.
But then again, so many years have passed, and with the current strength of Qin, it is already enough to look down on other countries.
It can even challenge the Xia Kingdom.
This is really very emotional!
"Your Majesty, I suggest that now that Fengguo has withdrawn its troops, it is time to launch a general attack on the Yan army."
"After we conquer Yan, we will use our power to suppress the Qi army, and then our Great Qin will be at its peak!"
Cao Cao clasped his fists solemnly.
The other generals echoed:
"Your Majesty, please issue an immediate order to attack the main force of the Yan army and capture Li Shimin alive!"
"Your Majesty, please give your orders!"
“…”
Hearing this, Ying Yuan was in a dilemma.
After a pause, they had to temporarily refrain from attacking the Yan army on the grounds that the road was blocked by heavy snow.
Two more days passed.
The snow on the ground grew thicker.
At the same time, Cao Cao received news that Qi State intended to send reinforcements here.
He initially guessed that Qi was going to compete with Qin for territory.
At this moment, he was standing behind Ying Yuan, walking with him in the camp.
Suddenly, Ying Yuan looked at the vast sky and the heavy snow falling like goose feathers, and murmured:
"It would be great if the snow could last a few more days."
Cao Cao thought Ying Yuan didn't want Qi's reinforcements to arrive quickly, so he said:
"Your Majesty, after the heavy snow, should we take the initiative to attack the main force of the Yan army, or march together with the Qi army?"
He was also worried that the Qi army would take advantage of the decisive battle between the Qin and Yan armies to frantically seize territory.
Ying Yuan thought about it.
With the current strength of the Yan army, it is definitely no match for the combined forces of the two countries.
Therefore, we cannot march together with Qi.
However, it is not acceptable for Qi to harass Yan from the rear.
so...
Ying Yuan said, "I intend for you to lead 300,000 foreign troops to attack the Qi army."
"I will lead the remaining soldiers to engage in a decisive battle with the main force of the Yan army."
Doesn’t Qi want to form an alliance with Qin?
I just won’t.
However, Cao Cao misunderstood his meaning and shouted:
"Your Majesty is wise!"
He thought that Ying Yuan asked him to contain the Qi army.
When the Qi army was attacking the city, the Qin army took the lead and entered the city.
In this way, it would be difficult for Qi to compete with Qin for territory.
Including Dong Zhuo's army.
Plus Ying Yuan’s 300,000 soldiers.
The Qin army still has nearly 800,000 troops, which is enough to declare war on the main force of the Yan army.
After hearing Cao Cao's voice, Ying Yuan gradually became cheerful.
I hope that this time, Qi will take the initiative to break the alliance with Qin.
The other side.
Where Emperor Yan Li Shimin stationed his troops.
Hou Junji and Yuchi Gong, carrying Li Jing's body, finally reunited with him.
When Li Shimin saw Li Jing, who had been burned to ashes, he was immediately filled with grief and said in front of all the soldiers:
"Pharmacist, Pharmacist, if you leave, how can I repel the Qin army?"
"How can I... restore the vitality of Great Yan..."
"I...I can't bear to see you go."
Hearing this, all the soldiers fell silent.
Only Yuchi Gong clasped his fists and said:
"Your Majesty, General Li's last words were that Duke Yingguo Li Ji could be the commander-in-chief of the three armies."
Li Ji, who was standing not far away, was stunned.
Li Shimin, who was immersed in grief, did not respond much, but just nodded.
