Chapter 212: Refusal to Make Peace (II)

Now the three important ministers of Yan State resolutely do not agree to compromise with the Wu'an Army, and are bent on confronting the Wu'an Army to the end, Yan Wangxi can no longer refuse, so he can only agree to the proposition of these three important ministers, and order the Great Sima Cavalry and Liaoyang Jun Gongzi Yuan to pay the responsibility to collect troops to defend Jijing, but they also sent envoys to the Qin State to rescue the Qin State.

Because Yan Wangxi is not as optimistic as Honggao thought, as long as Yan Guo shows favor to Qin State, Qin State will let Yan Guo go. Zhao and Qin are indeed feuding, but in the past twenty or thirty years, South Korea has always shown favor to Qin, and even declared itself a vassal to Qin for a few years, and was willing to be a vassal state of Qin, but Qin has not destroyed South Korea in the same way. Therefore, it is not a good way to show favor to the Qin State.

But in any case, Yan Guo refused to make peace with the plateau, which was already certain, and Tai Xiao Dan was powerless to recover, so after the meeting, Tai Xiao Dan walked out of the main hall in a depressed mood. After taking a few steps, I only heard someone behind me: "Please stay." ”

Tai Xiao Dan looked back, and it turned out that it was Tai Chuan Ju Wu calling him. Because Ju Wu was also Tai Xiao Dan's teacher, Tai Xiao Dan hurriedly turned around, gave a salute to Ju Wu, and said, "Teacher." ”

Ju Wu also returned the salute and said: "Just now in the main hall, the old minister was not able to help the prince, and he is really ashamed of the prince." ”

Tai Xiao Dan said: "The teacher said that, Ji Dan also knew that the teacher had indeed done his best, and it was really not something that the teacher could control to cause such a situation." It's just that Xiangguo and Da Sima are too ...... Too...... Alas! ”

Ju Wu comforted him and said: "I am afraid that when I see it, I still need to rely on the prince to clean up the mess, and blood is good, let them suffer a little, and it is better to restrain a little, and when the prince succeeds to the throne in the future, he can also have less resistance. ”

Tai Xiaodan smiled bitterly and said: "I'm just afraid that they will mess with me like this, not just to suffer a little, but to make Yan Guo's vitality hurt, now my Yan Kingdom has lost 200,000 troops, if this battle is lost again, my Yan Kingdom may really suffer heavy losses, and I swore in front of Wu Anjun and promised to make peace with him, but now it has become such a situation, and I really don't know how to face him when the time comes." If this time really angers Wu Anjun, I'm afraid that before the Qin State comes to attack, my Yan Kingdom will already be destroyed. ”

Ju Wu was also a little puzzled, and said: "Taixiao, although it is said that the military strength of the Wu'an Army is very strong, and our Yan Army may not be an opponent, but to say that the Wu'an Army can destroy the Yan Kingdom, I am afraid that it is a bit exaggerated." ”

Tai Xiaodan shook his head and said, "Teacher, you have not been in the Wu'an Army, if you have been in the Wu'an Army and know something about them, you will know that what I said will never be a lie." The number of the Wu'an army is not large, and the number of people in the territory is not large, but the whole army is united and united, and the plateau is deeply rooted in the hearts of the army, and the ability to use troops is not under Li Mu, at least I think it is definitely not difficult for the plateau to conquer Jijing. ”

Ju Wu was stunned, although he was still skeptical, but he also knew that Tai Xiao Dan would not deliberately exaggerate the strength of the Wu An Army, but Ju Wu didn't want to be entangled on this issue for a long time, and said: "Tai Xiao, there is news from Mr. Tian Guang's side, and Mr. Tian Guang has found the person that Tai Xiao needs." ”

Tai Xiao Dan's whole body was shocked, and he hurriedly said, "Really? That's great, teacher, let's go find Mr. Tian Guang at once. ”

―――――――― the dividing line――――――――― dividing line―――――――― Gao Yuan didn't expect that Yan Guo had been beaten like this by himself, and he couldn't let go of the old nobleman's face and refused to accept his own conditions. Is it difficult that the previous battle didn't hurt Yan Guo?

But no matter what, the current problem is in front of the plateau, because the original purpose of the plateau is to promote peace through war, not to destroy the Yan country, but the Yan country still refuses to make peace with itself at this point, so what should I do next?

It is obviously impossible to give up Juyongsai and return to Daijun, because in this way, it will undoubtedly contribute to the stinky temper of the old nobles like Yan Guo, and Yan Guo will continue to provoke himself in the future, although Yan Guo's strength is not strong, but such non-stop whitting is indeed a big trouble, after all, he can't afford it now, and if the Qin army comes to attack Daijun, and the Yan army makes trouble behind his back, it will be a big trouble.

And maintaining the status quo, continuing to occupy the Yongsai, and maintaining pressure on Yan Guo is not a good choice. Because Juyongsai is under the nose of Yan Kingdom, too far away from Daijun, the current strength of the plateau has not yet reached the time to expand its territory.

Then there is only one last way left, which is to continue the offensive and attack Jijing. But what is the purpose of attacking Jijing? continued to promote peace by war, or captured Jijing, and simply completely destroyed the Yan Kingdom.

Continue to promote peace with war, but what if Yan Guo just doesn't make peace with himself? And to capture Jijing and destroy Yan Kingdom, there is no bottom in the heart of the plateau. It may not be difficult to capture Jijing, but the capture of Jijing is not equivalent to the destruction of Yan, because Yan still has a large territory in the northeast, which has been extending along the entire Bohai Bay, almost including the entire Liaoning Province and part of the southern tip of Jilin.

Therefore, Gao Yuan thought about it for two days, and did not come up with a clear plan, but it was not a way to consume it in Juyong, Gao Yuan finally decided, no matter what, he would also send troops to attack Jijing, as for the final hit, he could only take a step to see it, then take Jijing down first, and then talk about it, there was really no way, he moved the administrative center from Daijun to Jijing, and then took Jijing as the core to expand his power. Although it is said that one qiΔ“ has to start all over again, Jijing has much more room for development than Daijun, which can only be said to be mutually pros and cons. Of course, the best result is to force Yan Guo by force and make peace with himself.

At this time, the total strength of the Wu'an Army was about 65,000, and Takahara decided to lead the Wu'an Army, the entire army of the Shanggu Army, plus the three armies brought from Daigun, and the 5,000 troops of Shanggu County. In total, there were about forty-five thousand troops, and the cavalry was about fifteen thousand. Huang Chong was left to lead the remaining 20,000 troops to garrison Juyongsai. Bi Jing also had more than 60,000 Yan soldiers captured in Juyong Saili. Enough soldiers must be left to garrison the Cyon Seri.

In addition, Gao Yuan also hopes to bring a little less troops, so as not to scare the Yan army, and it will be difficult to do it without a fight and defend the city. As long as the Yan army is willing to go out of the city to fight with him, then the plateau will not be afraid of anything.

Although Gao Yuan sent troops this time, he didn't think about attacking the city, so he didn't carry large siege weapons, but in Juyong Seli, there are many large weapons left by Yan Guo, which can be used. Gao Yuan also brought fifty bed crossbows, twenty building carts and ten city chariots, and then led the army with Sima Shang to set off towards Jijing.

At this time, Jijing was not the Beijing City of later generations, it was located in the southwest of Beijing, and the scale was certainly not as large as Beijing City. A day later, the Wu'an army arrived less than twenty miles from Jijing.

At this time, there were also probes to report, about ten miles or so in front, there is a Yan army's camp, depending on the size of the camp, the total strength of the Yan army should be between 150,000 and 200,000.

After Gao Yuan heard the news, he was also greatly relieved, the Yan army really went out of the city to face the battle, this is the best news, what Gao Yuan is most worried about is that the Yan army is closed and defended. Jijing is the capital of a country, the city wall is high and thick, easy to defend and difficult to attack, if the Yan army defends Jijing, it is indeed enough to give the plateau a headache, even if it can finally capture Jijing, its own losses will not be small, I am afraid it is more than worth the loss.

Although the total strength of the Yan army is four to five times that of the Wu'an army, it is not a matter of concern, because in the last battle of Tongtsuji, the plateau has already figured out the bottom of the Yan army, whether it is the soldier's vegetarianism, training or combat experience, the Yan army and the Wu'an army are not half a little worse.

And in the last war, the 200,000 army of Yan was almost completely annihilated by the Wu'an army, Yan is not a military power like Qin Zhao, 200,000 army is not a small number, although Yan can recruit another 200,000 army in a short time, but the soldiers' plain zhì, assembly, army formation, organization are all problems, so Gao Yuan believes that this 200,000 army is at most equivalent to the 70,000 or 80,000 troops of the previous Yan army, and Gao Yuan has absolute confidence.

So Gao Yuan also ordered to camp on the spot and rest the whole army. And on the same day, Gao Yuan and Sima Shang discussed the plan to fight with the Yan army, because until now, Gao Yuan has not given up the plan to promote peace by war, so this time against the Yan army, he does not plan to use any strategy, but intends to use the two sides to line up the formation in a dignified manner, and then defeat the Yan army in a dignified manner, showing the strong combat effectiveness of the Wu'an army to the Yan army, hoping to win the battle through guΓ², deter the monarchs and ministers of the Yan country, and let them agree to their peace conditions.

Sima Shang had no objection to the plateau plan, because even if the array was engaged with the Yan army, Sima Shang had the same confidence in the combat effectiveness of the Wu'an army as Gao Yuan. The two commanders agreed on the same opinion, and then the next thing was easy to do, and the two quickly agreed on a plan for the battle.

On the next day, Gao Yuan officially issued a war letter to the Yan army, asking the Yan army to line up to fight and decide the winner.

It is an ancient tradition to write a war letter to the opponent, and before the Spring and Autumn Period, it was even the most important mode of fighting. Although at this time, the way of fighting has been greatly played, assault warfare, sneak attack warfare, ambush warfare, and encounter warfare, and there are many tricks, but the battle in array is still an important way of fighting. Of course, the challenged side does not necessarily have to accept the challenge of the enemy.

However, Yan Jun's reply soon came: go to the appointment on time and fight to the death.
