Just as Ji Zhi was preparing to train Gao Ge even more strictly, a sudden and reasonable thing disrupted all their plans.
In just a moment, they were stunned, causing all their previous ideas to become illusory before they could be put into practice.
In 236 B.C., the King of Qin, Ying Zheng, ordered Wang Jian, Huan Kuang, and Yang Duan to attack the State of Zhao. In the current world, Zhao was the only country that could compete with Qin in terms of military strength. Due to the surprise attack of the Qin army, the capital of Zhao, Handan, was surrounded. Zhao quickly transferred Li Mu back to the capital from the northern border. Li Mu had been stationed at the border for a long time, causing the Xiongnu to not dare to invade the border for more than 10 years. After Li Mu returned to Handan, the Qin army was defeated.
In 232 B.C., Li Mu defeated the Qin army again. Li Mu's wisdom and bravery alerted the King of Qin, Ying Zheng, so he began to carry out the counter-spy plan. In 229 B.C., the Qin army attacked Zhao three times. Because Qin Shihuang had bribed Guo Kai, the favorite minister of the King of Zhao, and spread rumors of Li Mu's rebellion, the King of Zhao changed his generals on the battlefield and cut off Li Mu's military power.
In 228 B.C., Wang Jian marched on a large scale and captured Handan. The King of Zhao moved out and surrendered. Qin Shi Huang personally went to Handan and killed all the powerful people of Zhao who had a grudge with his mother.
Only Gongzi Jia escaped. At this point, Zhao only existed in name.
The fall of Handan and the fall of Zhao. Since the fall of Han in 230 B.C., Zhao became the second country to fall under the hooves of Qin.
At the same time, the news spread back to the Yan Country and shocked the entire country!
The State of Zhao was destroyed. The State of Zhao, which had once become the most powerful country in Shandong due to King Wuling's riding and archery skills, was destroyed. The land of Yishui was once the old land of the Battle of Changping. Although the Qin army had killed 200,000 Zhao troops in the war three years ago, the State of Zhao was not destroyed in the end. Therefore, although the people of Yan were a little afraid at that time, they did not take it to heart.
But today, Zhao was destroyed, and all of Zhao fell into the hands of Qin. The fresh blood in Handan City rang the final alarm for this corrupt country.
It turns out that unknowingly, when we look back, we are in danger of losing our country.
Yan and Zhao were close to each other. It was better when Zhao was still around. At least they could withstand the attacks of the Qin army. Even when the Qin army was at its strongest, they could only attack the bank of Yi River.
But now, Zhao had fallen, so how could they not panic? This meant that they would no longer have any natural barriers to defend.
The lips were gone, the teeth were cold, and the land of Zhao fell into the hands of Qin. There would only be the Yi River between Qin and Yan.
Now that Zhao State had just fallen, Qin State was still busy reorganizing its internal affairs.
However, once the Qin Country completely rectified its internal affairs and completely took over the land of Zhao, which country could the Qin Sword target next other than the Yan Country?
The Yan Country had been ill for many years and its national strength was weak. Even when picking persimmons, they knew to pinch the soft side. If the Qin Country attacked them, they really did not need to expend much effort.
As a result, the prosperity of the Yan Country disappeared in an instant, and a gloomy fog filled the air.
When a man is about to perish, his words are good; When a country is about to perish, its virtue will flourish!
Their love for the country would only show a little when the country was in trouble!
This was a sign that a storm was coming…
... Pingye Marquis Manor...
These days, more and more people were entering and leaving the manor. There were high-sounding ministers and officials, as well as armored generals. They were all in a hurry and were all here to look for Ji Zhi.
This also caused Gao Ge's training plan to be temporarily put on hold for the next few days. He could only hone his sword moves alone.
However, during his training, he was also quite puzzled about what had happened these past few days that caused everyone to be anxious.
It was not a big deal that the Marquis's residence had been visited for days. What really surprised him was the streets of Yan City. Why did it seem like a ghost soldier had passed through? There was no sign of life in the past. Suddenly, it turned from noisy to quiet. He was really not used to it!
However, this also indirectly told him that something big had really happened!
Finally, after Ji Zhi had received an official and dragged his tired body to see Gao Ge, Gao Ge finally asked his question,""What happened recently? Why is Ji City so, so…"
However, when the words were on the tip of his tongue, Gao Ge paused because he didn't know how to ask.
"You're not angry, are you?" Ji Zhi looked at Gao Ge. Of course, he knew what Gao Ge wanted to ask, so he sneered and said his question.
"What exactly happened?" Ji Zhi's sneer made Gao Ge even more confused.
" Sigh…" Ji Zhi sighed and slowly said something that Gao Ge was very familiar with,"" General Wang Jian of Qin defeated Zhao and captured the King of Zhao. He took all the land and marched north to the southern border of Yan…"
As soon as he spoke, Gao Ge's body trembled. He instantly understood everything.
"Has the State of Zhao…been breached?" Gao Ge felt bitter.
He finally understood why such a scene had occurred in the Swallow Heavens.
So it was because he was afraid! Fear stemmed from the unknown. Because they did not know when the Qin army would attack, they were afraid.
" So I was wrong all along…" Gao Ge was indeed wrong. When he heard Ji Zhi say that the State of Qin was going to attack the State of Zhao for the third time, he had thought that it was just the beginning. Therefore, there were at least two years left for him.
Two years was enough to change many things, so he was not in a hurry. But now, he knew that he was wrong. Who said that the Qin country had just started to attack the Zhao country? From the looks of it now, the Qin and Zhao had been in a stalemate for at least a year. Otherwise, the Zhao Country would not have been destroyed so quickly.
Gao Ge's thoughts were complicated, and this sudden incident disrupted all his thoughts. He had no choice but to face reality. At the same time, he was filled with helplessness.
Gao Ge frowned as he thought about the series of events that happened after he destroyed Zhao. He did not even listen to what Ji Zhi said after that.
By the time he was done thinking, Ji Zhi's words had reached the end. He said,"Ji City is in chaos these days. I won't have time to care about you. I hope you can take good care of yourself!”
After saying that, he dragged his heavy steps and walked away slowly.
" I…" Gao Ge still wanted to say something, but when he saw that Ji Zhi had already left, he could only give up…
