Chapter 82: Trying the hard work (4)

Su Qin smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "Although what the prince said is true, everything is safer and more appropriate. Besides, the Wu State had two famous generals, Sun Wu and Wu Zixu, which was able to defeat the Chu army."

Su Qin did not continue to say this, but the meaning in the words was that although Yan State's national strength was increasing day by day, it was suffering from the lack of compulsory generals in the army, and he had no great chance of winning. It was just that because the generals robbed him here, Su Qin did not pick up the words.

But Qi Jie refused to give up after hearing this. He looked fierce and strode forward, kneeling down and roared, "King, Qi Jie has been in the army since he was young and has followed the second generation of kings. He has never lost a single defeat now. Since the prime minister looks down on our Yan General, please ask the king to order me to fight in Qi. If you cannot win, the last general is willing to come and see you."

Su Qin was already feeling bad at this time, and felt that the prince and the cavalry seemed to be prepared, so he quickly spoke to dissuade him. "The cavalry general was joking. Now our Yan State and Qi State have a harmonious diplomatic relationship and have been in peace for more than ten years. If the war starts rashly, there is no appropriate reason, and many people will be puzzled. Besides, the Qi army is strong and with the help of Han and Wei, our Yan army may not have a chance of winning."

Ji Lezi said, "The Xiangbang seems to have forgotten that the main force of the Qi army is peeping at Guanzhong at Hangu Pass. The country is extremely empty, and it is a good opportunity given to us by the Yan State. If a general is sent to attack Qi, it will inevitably be like chopping bamboo. When the Qi army returns hastily, the overall situation has already been decided. At that time, even if Qi cannot be destroyed, he can still capture the Hejian land in the north of Qi, causing Qi State to suffer heavy losses and avenge our revenge."

"As for Wei and Han, there is no need to worry. The reason why Han and Wei depend on Qi was simply because they were forced by Qin, so they had to be driven to attack Qin together. Now that Hangu Pass has been lowered, Qin's tentacles extending to Guandong have been cut off. Do you really think that Han and Wei will work hard for Qi wholeheartedly? I am afraid that at that time, they will also be on the wall and hold troops to watch. Zhao and our Yan State are interdependent, and Qin and our father are close relatives. If our Yan State attack Qi, Qin and Zhao State will not stand by and watch, so the overall situation can be determined."

(ps: Today, King Ji of Qin is the youngest son of King Hui of Qin, and King Yan's mother is the daughter of King Hui of Qin, so King Qin is the half-uncle of King Yan's father. Although Ji Zhi is ten years older than Ying Ji... This kind of thing was still very common in the Warring States Period)

As soon as Ji Lezi finished speaking, the cavalry had already said loudly, "Master, please let the last general lead the army to attack the hinterland of Qi, and let the country be humiliated by our Yan State back then."

Ji Lezi and Qi Jie's words made Ji Zhi feel excited. Even Su Qin had to admit that Ji Lezi's words did make some sense. Now the main force of the Qi army is isolated abroad and the country is extremely empty. If Yan State invaded a large-scale invasion at this time, it would inevitably catch Qi off guard. It is not impossible to repeat the incident of Wu's destruction of Chu back then.

But the problem is that this matter is too risky. If you are not careful, the hard work of Yan State over the past ten years will be wasted.

Ji Zhi looked gloomy and complex, and he was obviously hesitating. He looked at Su Qin and showed an inquiring look. Su Qin sighed slightly in his heart, but he still persuaded tactfully. "Qi State is a major country for hundreds of years. Although the main force is isolated from abroad, the domestic population is dense. It is not difficult to mobilize a large army to defend the city temporarily. If our war is not going well, once it is delayed for a long time, when the main force of Qi army returns to fight back, something big will be wrong. Qin State has been defeated and has ceded the land of Hedong to Han Wei for peace. He may not have the power to fight again in a short period of time. Zhao State is attacking Zhongshan State with all his strength and has no time to take care of each other. Besides, Zhao State has no intention of fighting with Qi State, so it is not easy to rely on Qin and Zhao State to help each other."

Ji Lezi snorted coldly, "The front is afraid of wolves and tigers, and the prime minister is so timid and cautious, how can we achieve great things? As long as we can occupy all the land of Hebei of Qi, we can't wait to return to the country, even if the Qi army returns, we can only sigh through the river."

Then he looked at Ji Zhi and stepped forward and said loudly, "Father, please make up your mind. If you miss such a good opportunity for nothing, I don't know what year or month to wait next time. Father, you have taught your sons since childhood. Those who have accomplished great things since ancient times are all stoic people. You can make a decisive decision and decisiveness in order to be a hero among people. Why are you hesitant today? Could it be that your Yan State will suffer another ten or a hundred years of humiliation for the whole world! When your sons ascend the throne, you will also bear endless humiliation."

Ji Zhi's body was shocked, and it was obvious that his son's last words touched him. Indeed, he could not wait for endlessly. He should make a decision immediately.

"Calling robbery."

"The last one is here." Qi Jie shouted to accept the order.

"I will take you as a general and lead the army to attack Qi. If it is not won, the military law will be dealt with."

"No." Qi Jie said excitedly.

"Su Xiang."

"I'm here."

Ji Zhi looked at him with apologetic feeling and said tactfully, "Please join Doctor Zou and General Ju, and as soon as possible, we will gather our Yan army as soon as possible. This time, I will be in full swing and swear to fight to the death with Qi!"

Su Qin sighed slightly in his heart, but he already knew that things were impossible, so he had to accept the order silently; "I will accept the order."

......

The huge attack of Yan State against Qi State soon began. After fourteen years of hard work, Yan State is no longer the dilapidated small country back then. The sudden attack of the 200,000 elite Yan Army caught a small number of defenders defending the northern part of Qi State off guard. In the past decade, Yan State has always been very respectful to Qi State in order to endure development, and its annual tribute is far above all other countries. Over time, Qi State gradually relaxed its vigilance against Yan State, which made the Yan Army succeed so easily.

Under the large-scale attack of Yan's army, Qi State was indeed dissuaded. He threw away all the land in the river, and fled south. Seeing that Qi Jie won so easily, he was immediately happy. Regardless of the dissuasion of General Ju Xin, he insisted on leading the army across the river and heading straight to Qi State's hinterland, hoping to take the opportunity to achieve great achievements.

The invasion of the Yan army made Mengchangjun Tian Wen, who was in Hangu Pass, very angry. He quickly agreed to the conditions for peace in Qin and gave up the idea of ​​wanting to compete with Qin. He just made a contract to return the land east of Hangu Pass to Han and Wei, and then returned Hangu Pass to Qin. He then hurriedly led the 200,000 main force of Qi army back to the country.

At this time, the progress of the Yan army was not smooth. The tenacious resistance of the Qi people far exceeded Ji Zhi's estimate. As Su Qin foresawed, the foundation of a large country for hundreds of years was indeed difficult to shake. The Qi people's great power was full of mentality. How could it succumb to the small Yan Kingdom? The Yan army was constantly frustrated under Gaocheng and made no progress for a month and half. In order to avoid being cut off by the Qi army returning to the rescue, the cavalry had to retreat hastily and wanted to withdraw back to Hebei to protect themselves, but was intercepted by the Qi army that was chasing him halfway and responded to the battle.

After a melee of battle, the Yan army was defeated, and countless soldiers were killed and injured, and most of the 200,000 troops were dispersed. The cavalry robbed all the way north and retreated north in a hurry until they retreated into Yan territory. They were able to gather the remaining troops. They obtained 100,000 troops and quickly reported to Jicheng, the King of Yan, Jicheng, and asked him to send troops south to support.

Mengchangjun Tian Wen, who successfully expelled the Yan army, refused to give up. He has always been the part of Qi bullying others. He has never been beaten by others, let alone the Xiaoxiaoyan Kingdom.

After obtaining domestic reinforcements, the Qi army consolidated 300,000 troops, and appointed Xiangbang Tian Wen as the commander, and rushed to the north. At the same time, Tian Wen passed on Wen, the King of Wei and Han, as the chief of the Union and the Chief, and asked him to attack Yan State and divide the land equally.
