Chapter 692: Yan Dan usurps the throne!
Chapter 692: Yan Dan usurps the throne!
The successive victories almost brought the morale of the Qin army to its peak. The Qin army slapped the grassland wolf tribe on the face several times. Those with thick skin felt insulted, while those with thin skin were slapped to death.
Jian La once again disappeared under the wheel of history and it is impossible for him to appear again.
This was a complete annihilation of the entire clan, and all the men, women, old and young were slaughtered.
In comparison, I don’t know whether to say it was good luck or bad luck, as all the fresh troops of Wusun were slaughtered, leaving only the elderly, the weak, women and children.
Even if the Qin army ignored these old, weak, women and children, they would not be able to survive the winter for several months.
Those who are lucky may be captured by other tribes and become slaves, while those who are unlucky will be eaten as meat.
The Wu clan members who were loyal to the Wu clan finally remembered the old ties among their clan. Anyway, most of the adult Wusun men had died on the battlefield, leaving only a group of old, weak, women and children. After killing the Wusun Crown Prince Lie Jiaomi and the entire so-called royal family of Wusun, they took over these old, weak, women and children and brought them back to the Wu clan pasture in Shangjun.
As the Qin army won victories on various battlefields, some people among the Donghu, Xiongnu and Yuezhi began to waver.
The tribes on the grassland had very little understanding of the princes in the Central Plains. In their eyes, the Dai border troops once led by Li Mu were already the most elite troops in the Central Plains. They seemed to have completely forgotten how the former grassland overlords Xirong and Yiqiu were destroyed.
Or it could be said that later generations always think that they are better than their predecessors. In addition, in recent years, Yan and Zhao have focused their energy on the struggle for hegemony among the princes in the Warring States Period and have successively adopted a defensive stance on the grassland, which has made them forget how they were once beaten.
Qin Jun's slap was like a great memory restoration technique, which allowed the grassland wolf tribe to recall these things and understand why Qin Jun was called the Tiger and Wolf Army.
Everything was going in a good direction. Zhang Ji also discussed with the civil and military officials in the shogunate the idea of finding an opportunity to launch a strategic decisive battle with the grassland wolf tribe.
The Qin army is best at positional warfare. If they can really find an opportunity to engage in a strategic decisive battle, the outcome can be decided in one battle.
After all, there were 400,000 people eating, drinking, defecating and urinating on the front line, and the civilians and auxiliary soldiers in the rear who were responsible for the logistics of the Qin army probably numbered one million. The amount of food and chewing for people and horses every day was an astronomical figure.
However, a huge change occurred on the flank of the Qin army.
Yandu, Jicheng
There was a drizzle of rain in the sky, like an endless thread of sorrow, entangled in the hearts of many Yan people, and the most sorrowful among them was Yan Dan.
In the back garden of the Prince's Mansion, Yan Dan was walking around with a paper umbrella. Whenever he was in a bad mood, he would wander around in the garden.
Not long after, two middle-aged men walked straight into the Prince's Mansion without informing anyone, and even walked through the main hall to the back garden.
The guards and servants in the Prince's Mansion all looked as if they were used to it and did not try to stop them.
"Your Highness, it's done."
Among them was a man dressed in coarse black cloth, with rough skin and simple clothes. He looked like a farmer found from the fields. There was some gray in his hair and a braid behind his head. He came to Yan Dan and said only these four short words.
"Alas, the huge Yan State was able to easily control the royal city guards with the combined efforts of the Grand Tutor and the Master. How could the Yan State defeat the tyrannical Qin?"
Yan Dan sighed, clenched his fists, and looked indignant.
Hearing this, another middle-aged man couldn't help but sigh. As Yan Dan's teacher and the Taifu of Yan State, he still somewhat disagreed with Yan Dan and Tian Guang's next plan.
The Confucian virtues of loyalty, filial piety, propriety and righteousness made him feel extremely tormented. After all, Prince Xi of Yan had never let him down, and the position of Taifu was the greatest praise and respect for him. But now he had to watch the prince he had taught do such a... such a rebellious thing.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man who looked like a farmer immediately saluted to Yan Dan, and the Nine-Star Pearl Grass on his chest, which represented the identity of the Farmer's Hero, swayed slightly: "Please do not hesitate, Your Highness. Stubborn diseases require strong medicine, otherwise Yan will eventually resist the sharp blade of the Qin army. It is better to fight hard and seek that chance of survival!" Taifu Ju Wu pointed at Tian Guang angrily and scolded: "Hero, do you know that even if Your Highness succeeds in this move, Your Highness will be cursed for thousands of years!"
Ju Wu was not a very rigid person, otherwise he would not have formulated a plan to provoke the Donghu and Xiongnu and promise huge benefits to make the grassland wolf tribe move south in large numbers. However, these plans were all carried out by him personally and Yan Dan was not allowed to participate in them, in order to preserve Yan Dan's reputation to the greatest extent.
If the truth were leaked, he could take all the blame on himself without implicating Yan Dan.
But Tian Guang actually took the initiative to propose that Yan Dan commit a heinous act. He did not feel any difficulty or entanglement at all. After all, it was Yan Dan and the State of Yan who would pay the price, while the Nong family and the State of Qi behind them would just sit back and watch the outcome.
What a good plan!
Yan Dan sighed secretly, and his eyes moved slightly as he looked at teacher Ju Wu.
He knew very well that this move was very risky, and even if it succeeded he would be infamous for eternity, but he had no other choice.
Several years ago, he failed to kill the Six-Fingered Black Knight and lost the support of the Mohist School.
Later, he and Fan Yuqi joined forces and fell into the trap of the Qin army. The Yan army was defeated, Fan Yuqi was beheaded, and he was also placed under house arrest.
Fortunately, King Xi of Yan also understood that he was doing this for the State of Yan after all, so he only confined him to his residence for a few years. However, he did not prohibit the officials in the Prince's Mansion from entering and leaving. He just prevented Yan Dan from appearing in public.
But Yan Dan found that there was no one left among the Hundred Schools of Thought who could provide him with support.
Taoism has always had close relations with the Qin State. Taiyi Mountain is located in the heart of Qin State. The relationship between Bei Mingzi and Bai Qi makes Taoism naturally biased towards Qin State.
With the completion of the Great Qin Academy, even the Taoists completely accepted the olive branch from the Qin State.
Among the other schools of thought, all the small and medium-sized sects turned to the Qin State.
Among those sects that drew their swords, the Mohists did not kill him because they were nostalgic, while the Confucians hated him as an unfilial and traitor who was willing to kill his master, and were unwilling to have anything to do with him.
Among the Yin-Yang School, Dongjun, Yueshen, Dasimaming, the two Shaosimaming and the two Xiang ladies all married Zhang Ji. It can be said that if Donghuang Taiyi was restrained by someone, Zhang Ji could control and dispatch the Yin-Yang School by himself.
The Ming family is discussing a marriage with the Mohist family. The Gongsun Linglong in this world is not the fat aunt who cannot get married. She has a slim figure. Although her appearance is not a peerless beauty, she can be considered a rare beauty. She is the heir of the Ming family after Gongsun Long's "death".
The Mohist School is putting all its efforts into training the young man Jing Ke. Jing Ke and Gongsun Linglong are a perfect match, so the Six-Fingered Black Knight can rest assured to hand over the Mohist School to Jing Ke.
After all, although Jing Ke is a good candidate in both character and martial arts, as a leader of the Mohist school, he is quite capable in handling the affairs of the sect. However, he is too naive when it comes to many things related to human nature. Therefore, the Mohist school is also trying its best to promote this matter. Therefore, Mingjia, the prospective relative of the Mohist school, is simply impossible to help Yan Dan.
And his only choice was the farmer!
"Teacher, there is no need to say more. Now that things have come to this, Dan has no way out. I still hope that the teacher can help me!"
Yan Dan bowed deeply to Ju Wu. Ju Wu sighed heavily and helped his disciple up.
"Well, I will draft the imperial edict. I will share the infamy of treason with you!"
