When the news of Jing Ke assassinating Qin reached the Yan Country.
The King of Yan was furious at first, but then he was terrified.
He quickly called Yan Dan over and reprimanded him.
Immediately, Yan Chunjun and the other Yihe Faction took the opportunity to strike Yan Dan while he was down, launching a counterattack against Yan Dan's pro-war faction.
In the end, Yan Dan was grounded by Yan Wangxi.
At the same time, the King of Yan also hurriedly sent messengers to the State of Qin with a large amount of wealth, indicating that all of this was a misunderstanding.
Unfortunately, the State of Qin did not pay attention to Prince Xi of Yan.
Wang Jian led an army of 100,000 and crossed the Yishui River, officially stepping onto the land of the Yan Country.
All the people of Old Qin were hoping to hear the news of victory soon.
After all, in their hearts, the small Yan Country could not stop Great Qin's army at all.
However, half a month later, the news of the defeat was sent back to Xianyang City.
Wang Jian's army was ambushed by the Yan army and lost tens of thousands of people. They had already retreated to the bank of the Yi River.
The entire Xianyang was shocked!
The invincible soldiers of Great Qin had actually been defeated by the Yan Country!
When the news of the Qin army's defeat spread to the other countries, many people had other thoughts.
For example, the Chu Country in the south began to move their troops north, and 200,000 troops threatened Yingchuan County.
While County Governor Meng Wu organized the defense, he quickly sent people back to Xianyang to ask for help.
The Wei Country, which was originally well-behaved, began to stir under the collusion of some forces.
Most importantly, the Qi Kingdom, which had been silent for many years, had actually raised an army at this moment!
A total of 200,000 troops surged into the Qinyan battlefield like a tide.
Without any reinforcements, Wang Jian hurriedly led the remaining tens of thousands of troops to retreat.
In the Qin palace.
In the huge Imperial Court, Great Qin's officials lowered their heads and did not speak.
Sweat kept appearing on their heads. The entire hall was filled with a heavy atmosphere.
That was because Qin Wangzheng, who was sitting on the throne, had a frosty expression on his face.
"Pa!"
The bamboo slips filled with military reports were thrown onto the ground by Ying Zheng.
"A total of 100,000 elites were actually defeated by the Yan army of less than 50,000 people. They lost 30,000 people! Who can tell me why?”
Ying Zheng looked coldly at the ministers below, his voice filled with rage.
This time, he was really too angry!
The mighty Qin Country was actually defeated by the weak Yan Country!
Where would his face go?
At that moment, Li Si walked out and said respectfully,""Your Majesty, our army's defeat this time is not our fault. According to the intelligence, the Yan army had obtained the help of the Mohist mechanical beasts.”
"They took advantage of the time when General Wang Jian was crossing the river to use the Black Tortoise Mechanical Beast to launch a sneak attack, causing chaos in our army.”
"General Wang Jian made the correct decision in time, allowing the army to successfully disembark. However, after we landed, we were ambushed by the Yan army and the White Tiger mechanical beasts. Our army suffered heavy losses.”
"In order to preserve our strategic strength, General Wang Jian had no choice but to retreat. Because in front of such a huge mechanical beast, the courage of the soldiers was not enough.”
After Li Si finished his analysis, he lowered his head slightly and waited for Ying Zheng's decision.
The reason why he was freeing Wang Jian was because he wanted to compete for the position of Prime Minister and wanted to sell the Wang Clan a favor.
"Even though that is the case, I believe that General Wang Jian has quite a bit of responsibility.”
However, before Ying Zheng could say anything, Lord Chang Ping stood out and retorted directly.
"Your Majesty, a large reason for Wang Jian's failure this time is that he didn't gather information in time and chose to underestimate the enemy.”
"Otherwise, even if the Yan army had the help of the Mohist mechanical beasts, how could they easily ambush our army?”
Hearing Lord Chang Ping's words, Ying Zheng frowned slightly, but still decided not to punish Wang Jian severely.
After all, Ying Zheng understood Wang Jian's ability.
Furthermore, this time, there were only 100,000 troops attacking Yan. They had indeed underestimated their enemies.
"Where is Uncle Wang now?" Ying Zheng suddenly asked.
"Your Majesty, Marquis Wu 'an left Xianyang yesterday and is currently on his way to Handan.”Li Si replied.
" Pass down my order," Ying Zheng said." Have the Marquis of Wu 'an arrive at the camp at Yishui as soon as possible and take over the position of commander." At the same time, he ordered Wang Ben to lead 300,000 troops to reinforce the battlefield between Yan and Qi.
"Yes!"
The ministers replied.
After pondering for a while, Ying Zheng said again,""Mobilize another 150,000 troops from Xianyang to the Yingchuan border to support General Meng Wu.”
"Tell General Meng Wu that we must block the Chu Country's army!”
"Yes!"
........
On the other side, Yan Country.
In the crown prince's residence.
Even though Yan Dan had been grounded by Yan Wangxi, he still knew about the outside world.
Because he was now a giant of the Mo family, he could mobilize all the power of the Mo family.
The sneak attack that defeated the Qin army was Yan Dan's doing.
"Hahaha, Ying Zheng will also fail one day!”
Yan Dan couldn't help but laugh loudly when he read the news from his subordinate.
The depression that he had accumulated for many days was finally released. This made Yan Dan feel extremely comfortable.
"Giant, let's go first. It's not time to relax yet!”
At this moment, Tian Guang couldn't help but remind him.
"Thank you for your reminder, Brother Tian.”
Yan Dan restrained his emotions when he heard this.
"It's not too late to celebrate after we deal a heavy blow to the Qin country.”
"That's right!" Tian Guang nodded.
Yan Dan looked at Tian Guang and suddenly asked,""Brother Tian, how did you convince King Qi to send troops?”
Yan Dan was full of doubts about this.
One had to know that the war-weariness in Qi State was very high.
They had developed peacefully for so long and did not want to fight at all.
Who would have thought that King Qi would actually agree to ally with the Yan Country to fight against the Qin Country, and even send out two hundred thousand soldiers!
That was an army of 200,000!
It was two-thirds of the Qi Kingdom's military strength.
"Giant, have you forgotten that my surname is Tian?”Tian Guang said mysteriously.
"Tian?"
Yan Dan was stunned for a moment before he reacted.
"Qi Country, Nong Family, your Tian Clan has really hidden it well.”
At this moment, Yan Dan was filled with fear towards the Nong Family and the Qi Kingdom.
He didn't expect the relationship between the farmers and the royal family of Qi State to be like that.
It was no wonder that most of the Clan Heads of the farming clan had the surname Tian and had been suppressing disciples with other surnames.
The peasant family was actually the hidden power of the royal family of Qi State!
"Hehe, no matter how deep we hide, we can't hide as deeply as you, Giant!”
Tian Guang picked up his teacup and took a sip.
He deliberately paused at the word "giant".
Hearing this, Yan Dan's face darkened.
Did he know something?
........
On the other side.
Ying Chen was currently hurrying along. He had also received the news of Wang Jian's failure.
"Mo Family? Mechanical beast? How could I have forgotten about this?"
Ying Chen murmured, and couldn't help but pat his forehead.
"However, Yan Dan, if you think you can defeat Great Qin with the Mo family's power, you're too naive!”
"Yi, the Qi Kingdom is actually also here to get involved in this muddy water. It seems that things have become interesting.”
Ying Chen analyzed the information in his hands, and an interested expression appeared on his face.
