Chapter 116: The King of Yan wants to move east

After handing over the three little ones to Huangfu Song, Deng Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he didn't have to worry about wasting the potential he gained from so many battle points.

It is already summer and the rainy season is coming soon. Deng Sheng still has a lot to do.

At this time, the battle situation between Zhao and Yan countries in the north changed tremendously. In mid-July 11th year of Qianyuan, Zhao's general Zhang Chuan finally broke through the defense line of Shanggu, Yan's country. The entire county of Shanggu County was lost, and the Zhao army was approaching Jicheng.

The King of Yan was shocked and urgently summoned Le Lei to return to the rescue. At this time, Le Lei was confronting Zhao Xin in Fanyang City. After receiving the order from the King of Yan, although he was unwilling to accept it, he could only lead his troops back to Jicheng.

In August of the 11th year of Qianyuan, Le Lei returned to Jicheng, and Zhao Xin took the opportunity to occupy Zhuo County.

In mid-August of the eleventh year of Qianyuan, the Zhao army broke through the outer defense line of Jicheng, and Zhao Xin and Zhang Chuan met with Jicheng.

At this point, after two years of hard fighting, the Zhao army won a complete victory. The Yan army retreated step by step, and lost one after another. The defeat was decided.

Jicheng, Yanwang Palace

The King of Yan looked at His Highness and ministers with a depressed look on his face, and said powerlessly: "Your Highness, Zhao's army is at the city. Does Da Yan have a chance?"

The ministers looked at each other and remained silent. The battle situation was corrupted too quickly. The 300,000 troops before the war were now less than 200,000. The most terrifying thing is that the loss of four important granaries, Anping, Qinghe, Hejian and Bohai, made Yan State even worse.

The Yan State has always relied on the four southern counties. In addition, the two years of war, the grain reserves of the years have been almost consumed. Now the Yan State has only 200,000 troops, but the food is almost over the bottom.

"Report to the king, General Le sent someone to ask for a visit!" At this time, the voice of the guards outside the hall sounded.

"pass!"

The person who came was Le Lei's family, named Le Feng.

"Last time, Le Feng pays homage to the king!" Yue Feng came to the hall and bowed his hand.

"No need to be too polite. I wonder what General Le sent you to see me?" said King Yan.

Le Feng said: "Your Majesty, there is not much food left in the army, but the food and grass that should be transported to the army has not arrived for a long time. General Le sent the last general to come to ask when the military rations will be transported to the army?"

"This... the grain in the army has not been transported to the army yet?" King Yan looked at Fang Lai, the farmer in charge of money and grain.

"Your Majesty, in the two years since the war started, the imperial court's reserved grain has been left, and it has to support the people of Jicheng, me... I am incompetent, I really don't have much food to supply to the army." Fang Lai stammered.

"What?" Le Feng was immediately furious when he heard this. The other Fang Lai shouted: "Master Fang, what do you mean? Do you know that there are 400,000 Zhao troops outside the city. Do you want my Dayan soldiers to go to the battlefield and kill the enemy with hunger?"

Faced with Le Feng's questioning, Fang Lai was very unhappy. Le Feng was just a small miscellaneous general. If it weren't for the Le Lei family, no one would have looked at him in the Chinese military in the court. It would be a rebellious to dare to treat him like this today.

Fang Lai sneered: "General Le, Jicheng now has insufficient food reserves, and there are more than 100,000 people in the city. What should you do if you ask me to do?"

"You..." Le Feng wanted to argue, but was interrupted by the King of Yan at this time.

"Okay, General Le, you retreat first and tell General Le about this matter. Tell him that I will definitely find a way to not let the soldiers go hungry." The King of Yan also knew that he could not cut off the food in the army, so he comforted Le Feng.

Since King Yan said this, Le Feng did not stick to him. After all, he was just a miscellaneous general and was not qualified, so he bowed down.

After Le Feng left, King Yan looked at Fang Lai and said, "Fang Qing, is the food in Jicheng really so tense?"

Fang Lai no longer had the arrogant attitude towards Lefeng just now, and said with a bitter face: "By the king, in the past two years of war, the country's food stocks have consumed severely. According to my estimate, at the current consumption rate, the food stocks in Jicheng can last at most two months. However, there is still a little food stocks in Liaodong, but it is too late to go up."

"This!" King Yan was a little desperate. Although he was very panicked when Zhao's army was at the city, he was not desperate. After all, he still had an army of 200,000, but now he had only one army, but his food was almost out of stock.

"King, I don't know if I should say anything or not." At this time, the close minister of the King of Yan, Wang Bing, and the minister of the Minister of the Minister, came out to the list.

"When is this? What else should I say or not? Wang Qing, but it's okay." The King of Yan was a little impatient. Now he was already angry and was still typing like this official accent. Is it interesting?

Wang Bingke ignored the unhappiness in King Yan's heart and said directly: "King, there are now 200,000 troops outside the city, and there are more than 100,000 people and tens of thousands of ministers in the city. The food is not enough to support it. However, there have been few wars in the four counties in Liaodong for many years, and the four counties have stored a lot of food. I think it is better to go to Liaodong than to go to Liaodong. When the Zhao army retreats, it is not too late to come back to Jicheng."

When the King of Yan heard this, he was a little moved. To be honest, there are 400,000 Zhao troops outside the city. Do you know if Le Lei can stop it. If Le Lei can't stop it, Jicheng will be broken and he will not become a prisoner of the Zhao army? And it will be different to go to Liaodong. Not only can he be able to escape from the crater of Jicheng, but Le Lei can repel the Zhao army, but he can also come back. He takes a step back. Even if Le Lei can't stop the Zhao army and Jicheng is lost, he still has four counties in Liaodong, and he is still the King of Yan.

And the most important thing is that the King of Yan is not optimistic about Le Lei. For more than two years, the Yan army under Le Lei was defeated step by step. This shows that Le Lei is no match for Zhao Xin at all.

However, this proposal was strongly opposed by the Prime Minister of Yan State Guo Ti, who stepped out and said: "King, you must not. Jicheng is the capital of my Great Yan King. As the King of Great Yan, how can the king abandon the country and the temple to ignore it?"

"Guo Xiang, you have to know that Jicheng is short of food and Liaodong cannot be transported. The king went to Liaodong to save the food in Jicheng and supply the army, which was entirely for the sake of the Great Yan." Wang Bing retorted.

After hearing this, Guo Yi said to Wang Bing with a cold face: "Wang Bing, you know your true thoughts. You are nothing more than worrying that Jicheng will not be able to defend and become a prisoner of Zhao's army. Why do you have to say so well-sounding?"

"King, I am wronged. I am wholeheartedly for the sake of the king and for the sake of the big Yan. I hope the king will observe clearly!" Wang Bing did not continue to refute Guo Ti, but directly called for injustice to the King of Yan.

"Okay, Guo Qing and Wang Qing are all dedicated to the country, Guo Qing doesn't have to be so aggressive." King Yan had full trust in Wang Bing, but Guo Yi couldn't afford to offend him, so he got along with him.

"Hmph!" Guo Qi snorted coldly at Wang Bing and stopped talking.

Seeing that Guo Ti stopped attacking Wang Bing, King Yan said to the ministers: "You are the ones who have suggested just now, I wonder what you think?"

"King, you..." Guo Yi was anxious. He knew that if King Yan had not been moved by Wang Bing just now, he would never have asked such a question. Since he had asked, it means that King Yan was moved by Wang Bing's proposal.

"Secret Guo, I am just asking you about your opinions. Don't be anxious!" King Yan interrupted Guo Qi and said.

Well, Guo Yi couldn't speak anymore after being interrupted by King Yan like this.

When His Highness and the ministers saw that King Yan interrupted Guo Ti, they knew that King Yan was also determined to hunt for Liaodong in the east.

Fang Lai made a list and said: "Report to the King, I will discuss with the King's Shizhong. The King will not only not be able to help Da Yan in Jicheng, but will also speed up the consumption of food. It is better to hunt Liaodong in the east and leave the food for General Le so that General Le has more capital to resist the Zhao army!"

"I'm going to discuss it!"

"I'm going to discuss it!"
