Chapter 110 Why the Original Intention
"Everything is fine on the mountain!" Chisongzi heard this, with praise in his eyes, "Master is still in good health."

"That's good." Tian Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, "When I come back from Yan State, I will go back to the mountain to visit Master."

As soon as Tianxuan said this, Chisongzi's expression suddenly changed and he opened his mouth to speak.

When Tianxuan was in Mount Zhongnan, Chisongzi met him every day. Chisongzi had long seen that under the immature appearance of this junior fellow, there was a heart that was unwilling to be lonely. Sure enough, after this junior fellow came down from the mountain, he quickly joined the officialdom. In just one year, he jumped from a commoner to an official of the sixth level of the Qin State's military merit system.

He was also hand-picked by Qin Wangzheng to go to war with Qin General Wang Jian. It is no exaggeration to say that as long as Tianxuan did not die on the battlefield, he would have become a rising star in Qin's political arena in ten years at most. However, the political arena is dangerous and the battlefield is bloody. Chisongzi did not want to see Tianxuan lose his life in all this, and he did not want him to lose himself in the storm of the troubled times and follow the footsteps of Bai Qi and Wu Qi.

"Junior brother, you chose this path yourself." After a moment's silence, Chisongzi said, "You will have to bear the consequences yourself."

“Master, of course I understand this.” Tian Xuan was reminded of his past life by Chisongzi’s words, and his tone fluctuated, “In life, there is only one thing you cannot choose. That is: who will become your family! Other than that, everything else is your own choice, and you must have the courage to take responsibility after making the choice!”

As he said this, ripples began to form in Tianxuan's heart.

[In my previous life, I once regretted why I didn’t study hard in school. Later I realized that this was my own choice. Since I have made the choice, I should not blame others! ]

Chisongzi said again: "Little Junior Brother, I only hope that you can remember four words - never forget your original intention!"

“Don’t forget your original intention?” Tianxuan, whose heart was in turmoil, murmured the four words from Chisongzi’s mouth, his expression changing.

【In life, we should remember our original aspirations. But what is my original aspiration? Assisting Zheng Ge and his son to create a brilliant empire, it seems not; waiting for the arrival of troubled times and creating my own empire, it seems not right either; wandering among the beautiful mountains and rivers with my beloved, living a life that I envy but not the immortals, this is even more nonsense! 】

………………

War broke out, killing intent was everywhere.

In the Qin territory, Zhengge was furious because of the assassination of Jing Ke by Yan Prince Dan, and ordered the veteran general Wang Jian to lead an army of 100,000 to attack Yan. In order to wipe out Yan in one fell swoop, Zhengge equipped the horse harnesses jointly developed by Tianxuan and Gongshuchou: horse bridles, high bridge saddles, and horseshoes on the war horses in the army, intending to use an extremely elite cavalry to win the game in one fell swoop.

On the other hand, the story of Jing Ke's assassination of Qin was spread all over the world. Although countless people were unwilling to accept Jing Ke's failure and angry that King Zheng of Qin had escaped another round of assassination, this time Qin had a legitimate reason to attack Yan. Wei, Chu, and Qi did not dare to send troops to help rashly, and could only watch Yan face Qin's troops alone.

Yandu, Jicheng.

Tangli Palace.

The dark and solemn palace is pitch black in tone. It is said that it was built by King Zhao of Yan, a great ruler of the State of Yan, a hundred years ago. It was in this Tangli Palace that King Zhao summoned wise ministers like Yue Yi, making the State of Yan unprecedentedly glorious. At that time, there was nothing else in the Tangli Palace except for simple decorations.

Unfortunately, since King Zhao of Yan, Yan State has been in decline and has no wise rulers. To this day, the Tangli Palace, which once embodied the glory of Yan State, is decorated with gold and jade, and the thin gauze is like clouds and snow, like a dancing beauty.

Bang!
The King of Yan, Wang Xi, pushed a dozen bamboo and wooden tablets to the ground. His face, which was extremely pale due to excessive drinking and sex, was full of anger. "The Qin army is approaching, who among you is willing to share my worries?"

Wang Jian's army had not yet officially set out and was still in the process of gathering, but the King of Yan was already filled with joy, fear and anger. His words, filled with anger and fear, echoed in the Tangli Palace.

Inside the palace, all the civil and military officials of Yan State gathered.

In addition to Prince Dan of Yan, there were also Yan Chunjun, the brother of King Xi of Yan, and general Yan Yi and other ministers. When King Xi of Yan looked at them, all the generals who were known for their ability to fight and fight lowered their heads and dared not look at him. The national strength of Yan was weak, and the Qin army had obtained the Du Kang map. In addition, the general was well-known for his expedition, and the commander was the veteran general Wang Jian who was feared by the world.

The generals of Yan State asked themselves: if they went into battle, they would be seeking their own death.

For a moment, Prince Yan was the only one in Tangli Palace roaring with anger, and no one responded.

"Father, I volunteer to lead the army to fight against the Qin army!"

For a long while, bearing the intentional or unintentional angry gaze of King Xi of Yan, Yan Dan, who was standing at the front of the train, sighed in his heart, walked out of the train, and volunteered to fight.

"Okay!" Seeing Yan Dan volunteering to go to the battle, the cold murderous intent hidden in Yan Wangxi's eyes reappeared in his eyes, and his face showed joy, "Dan'er, I will hand over all the troops in the country to you, and you must defeat the Qin army!"

"Yes." After getting the assurance from King Xi of Yan, Yan Dan's tense heartstrings relaxed slightly, and he was about to leave Tangli Palace.

"Wait a minute, Prince." When Yan Dan was about to leave to prepare for the war, a harsh voice rang out in Tangli Palace. Yan Chunjun, the brother of King Xi of Yan, who was pot-bellied and dressed in gold and silver, stepped out, with contempt on his face, and said meaningfully, "Your Majesty, the army is a major issue for the country."

"Since the Crown Prince has volunteered, why not ask him to discuss the strategy and let the generals present appreciate it. After all, this battle concerns the survival of our Yan State!"

"My brother is right." Yan Chunjun deliberately emphasized the words 'the survival of Yan'. When Yan Wangxi heard them, he was shocked and agreed with his brother's point of view. "Dan'er, what are you going to do?"

Ugh!
Yan Dan had received the message from Xiang Yan. Although he knew that Yan was about to be destroyed, he still wanted to fight. Unexpectedly, Yan Chunjun, his uncle, asked him to speak out his strategy in public. Immediately, Yan Dan's eyes dimmed and he sighed in his heart:
[Father, I am here to talk about the strategy today. I am afraid that everything I have said will be delivered to Ying Zheng in ten days at most!]

"Father, I intend to ask for help from Dai Wangjia of Dai." Yan Dan told him the strategy he had been pondering for several days. "Although Yan and Zhao have been at war for many years, they are in a situation of mutual destruction in front of Qin's army. If we join hands with Dai Wangjia, we can put together an army of 200,000."

"Then the army can set up camp along the Yishui River without worrying about being attacked. The people of Yan and Zhao are familiar with the terrain around the Yishui River. If it can be delayed until winter, the Qin people cannot stand the cold and will surely freeze to death or get frostbitten in large numbers. Then, the army can attack again. Even if the Qin army's main general is Wang Jian, we can still win in one battle."

"it is good!"

The strategy that Yan Dan had painstakingly planned was echoing in Tangli Palace, rolling endlessly, as if it was going to break through the blockade of space and shake the land of Yan.
