Chapter 221 The State of Yan Will Be Destroyed
boom! boom! boom!
After experiencing the war to destroy Chu, the exhausted Qin army, under the order of Zhengge and led by Tianxuan, marched towards the Yan State, which was now hiding in the snowy Liaodong.

Although the 50,000-man army had not recovered their combat power after a series of battles, they were still worthy of the title of the strongest army in the world when they took action. Their uniform footsteps landed on the ground, making a deafening roar, as if the demons from the depths of the earth were about to enter the human world. The murderous aura emitted was several times stronger than the northwest wind in the cold winter.

"Qin Jun, it's Qin Jun!"

"Get out of the way!"

"Have you heard? This Qin army was specially selected by King Zheng of Qin from the army that destroyed Chu, and sent to Liaodong to destroy Yan State."

"King Zheng of Qin is really bold to hand over 50,000 Qin troops to Tian Xuanzi, who is said to be less than 15 years old."

……

The movement of 50,000 troops could not be concealed at all.

This time, Tianxuan did not destroy all the villages and towns he encountered along the way, as he did in the previous attack on Shouchun. In fact, if he dared to do so, he would be beheaded by Zheng Ge the moment he finished killing people. In today's world, Han, Zhao, Wei and Chu have been destroyed, leaving only the lingering Yan State and the deaf and dumb Qi State.

Fifty thousand soldiers were marching with murderous intent, intending to completely destroy the State of Yan. The route of the army of the last vassal state of the Zhou royal family, was all along the territory of the State of Qin. The common people along the way, looking at the copper-cast and iron-cast Qin army, were terrified. Moreover, this army led by Tianxuan often had to replenish military supplies in the cities along the way, which exposed the purpose of this march.

…………

Liaodong, Yandu.

At that time, the land of Liaodong was not yet the fertile black soil of later times. The land was covered with ice and snow all year round, and it was freezing cold. As a result, although Liaodong was large, there were not many people. The King of Yan and others who fled to Liaodong could only build an extremely simple city with ice bricks and wood as a shelter.

The new Yandu only covers a few miles and has tens of thousands of residents. Even if all the men were taken out, there would not be more than 20,000 people. No one knew where the delicacies from the mountains and the sea, the silks and satins, had gone. They could only fish and hunt to survive, wearing clothes made of animal skins and eating grilled fish.

"The Qin army is coming!"

In the center of Yandu, there is a courtyard with four entrances and six openings that the former King of Yan would not even bother to look at. This is the current palace of King of Yan. The lobby built of wood is the palace of King of Yan.

Although King Xi of Yan had fallen to the status of the lord of a city, the eight hundred years of national destiny of Yan State was still a golden signboard. On this side, Tianxuan was still heading towards Liaodong; on the other side, King Xi of Yan had received the news. Upon learning that the 50,000 fierce Qin troops were about to attack him, King Xi of Yan flew into a rage in the palace.

"I have fled to this bitter and cold Liaodong. I never thought that Ying Zheng would not let me go!"

Wearing a simple royal robe made of bear skin, with dense stitches visible at a glance, King Xi of Yan, after years of wind and frost, had a red face and cracked skin. He roared in vain in the palace, shouting with despair from the bottom of his heart. The ministers standing below him were not much more interested than King Xi of Yan.

Each of them was wearing clothes made of wolf skin, bear skin, fox skin and other furs. It was normal for their exposed skin to be cracked. They curled up to avoid Yan Wangxi's saliva like a group of quails.

King Xi of Yan also knew that it was a fantasy to expect these people to defend him from the enemy. If they really had this ability, King Xi of Yan would not have fled to the bitter cold of Liaodong. After venting his anger in vain for a long time, King Xi of Yan finally got tired and sat down on the wooden throne with a face full of despair from the bottom of his heart.

At this moment, King Xi of Yan felt like a prisoner waiting to be beheaded and could do nothing.

Oh oh oh!
In despair, King Xi of Yan could only bury his head on his knees and howl feebly. Seeing this, the ministers below him were infected even though they had already accepted their impending fate. In an instant, the only sound in the extremely simple palace was the howling, which was filled with a thin mist.

As soon as the water vapor rose, it was picked up by the cold wind that seeped in from the outside, turned into ice crystals, and fell to the ground, making it seem like hail was falling in the hall.

The Yan king and his ministers, led by Yan Wangxi, were immersed in sorrow. No one noticed that a dark figure had unknowingly stepped into the hall. "Father."

When Prince Xi of Yan's tears had almost dried up, a familiar voice sounded in his ears.

"roll!"

The sad mood was destroyed, and the anger in Yan Wangxi's heart seemed to have finally found an outlet. He suddenly raised his head and glared at the man, ready to explode. However, when Yan Wangxi raised his head, he saw a face he had not seen for several years.

"Dan...Dan'er?"

"Your Majesty... Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Great! The Crown Prince is here. We are saved."

"Meet His Highness the Crown Prince."

……

The person who suddenly came to King Xi of Yan was Yan Dan, who had become a great figure in the Mohist school. When the kings and ministers of Yan saw Yan Dan, their anger turned into joy, like a drowning man who finally grabbed the last straw and uttered words of surprise and delight.

King Xi of Yan jumped up from his throne, grabbed Yan Dan's arm, and said in surprise and joy: "Dan'er, you...are you here to save me? Then, take me away quickly. Let's leave here and follow the example of King Gou Jian of Yue, who slept on firewood and tasted gall, and then avenge this in the future!"

"Your Highness, the Qin army may arrive at the city at any time. If we don't leave now, it will be too late!"

"Your Highness, where are you going to take us?"

……

This temporary capital of Yan was destined to be undefendable. King Xi of Yan and his men did not expect Yan Dan to defend this isolated city for them, but only asked Yan Dan to take them away to avoid the war that might come at any time.

Yan Dan caught a glimpse of those faces that showed flattering expressions. Even though he already knew what kind of people they were, he still felt a strong sense of absurdity in his heart and almost laughed out loud.

[The State of Yan has such a minister...]

"Dan'er, as long as you take me away." Yan Wangxi didn't get a response from Yan Dan for a long time. He gritted his teeth and glanced at the wooden throne behind him reluctantly, "Then, I will pass the throne to you."

[The fact that there is still such a monarch who can survive until now is the blessing of the spirits of Duke Zhao and King Zhao in heaven! ]

"Father, I'm not here to save you." Yan Dan came back to his senses and looked at Yan Wangxi with extremely cold eyes, without even a trace of warmth. "I just came to take one last look at you."

As he spoke, Yan Dan had already pulled back his arm.

"Yan State is going to perish. But I don't believe that Ying Zheng's kingdom will be as solid as a rock. I want to revitalize Yan State in my own way!" As he spoke, Yan Dan stopped looking at King Xi of Yan and walked out. The dreams of the officials of Yan State in the palace were shattered. Their faces were filled with despair from the bottom of their hearts, but they were shocked by Yan Dan's momentum. No one dared to stop Yan Dan's way. They could only watch Yan Dan, the last straw of life, leave.
