When I was in Qin Dynasty, I lost contact with the wave

Chapter 693: Death of King Xi of Yan

In the Prince of Yan's palace, Prince Yan was happy to see the dancer dancing in front of him and enjoying the fruits fed to him by the beauty.

However, when he thought of the 400,000 Qin troops who had successively defeated the three overlords of the grassland, he felt deeply that the Qin army was powerful and couldn't help feeling a little sad. The sweet fruits of the past seemed a little tasteless, and even the graceful dancer in front of him could hardly make him feel hot.

Although he was not a wise ruler, he could not hide the fact that Ju Wu had taken frequent leave and secretly went north to the grassland.

He naturally guessed Ju Wu's purpose, but he did not point it out, nor did he interfere.

Ha, that kid Dan probably thought that he was really so stupid that he knew nothing, didn’t want to care about anything, and lived a life of drunkenness and dreams all day long.

Hey, he was his son after all, and he was just like him when he was young.

When he was young, he was ambitious and thought that after ascending the throne, he would reform the bad policies and reverse the decline of Yan State.

When I was young, I had no idea that life in this world would be so difficult.

At the beginning of his reign, Ji Xi was also ambitious and determined to restore the military achievements and glory of the reign of King Zhao of Yan.

After meeting Li Fu, who was as ambitious as himself, King Xi of Yan quickly appointed Li Fu as prime minister. He reformed many bad policies and the State of Yan also accumulated strong national strength.

Li Fu was indeed a man of great talent. He first tried to test and confuse the State of Zhao, and signed a ceasefire treaty with 500 gold as a gift to the State of Zhao. At the same time, Li Fu, who was sent to the State of Zhao as prime minister, stayed in Handan for several months. He made what he thought was a detailed investigation of the situation in the State of Zhao. After confirming that the State of Zhao was indeed weak, he returned to the State of Yan and suddenly declared war on the State of Zhao!
The result was a battle in which Lian Po truly established his position in military circles, perfectly illustrating what it meant to be 80,000 versus 600,000. The advantage was on my side!
Prime Minister Li Fu and General Qing Qin were all killed in the battle. King Xi of Yan appointed General Qu, who had opposed his sending troops before the war and was also the leader of the Mohist school, as prime minister, and ceded land to Zhao in exchange for peace.

After the State of Yan ceded land and stopped fighting, news about the truth of the previous war also spread to the State of Yan.

It turned out that Zhao was completely unprepared for Yan's sudden attack. The armies of Lian Po and Le Cheng were originally heading to the border to fight against the Qin army, and their sudden turn back to attack Yan was just a coincidence.

King Xi of Yan suddenly realized that if the Qin army really attacked Zhao, the sneak attack from behind by the Yan army would surely be a great success!
With such thoughts in mind, King Ji Xi of Yan was unwilling to give up. He believed that it was not impossible to conquer Zhao, but he just needed to choose the right time.

After waiting for eight years, in the twelfth year of King Xi of Yan's reign, King Xi of Yan once again did not listen to Jiang Qu's advice and sent Ju Xin, a famous general from the time of King Zhao of Yan, as the main general to attack Zhao again.

However, the rulers and ministers of Yan State never expected that this time things would turn out the opposite.

King Yan of Zhao was also eager to establish his own achievements when he first ascended the throne, so he ordered Li Mu to attack Yan. Before the Yan army set out, Li Mu's border troops had already marched eastward and captured Wusui and Fangcheng of Yan in one fell swoop, and then stopped fighting.

So the State of Yan sent Ju Xin to counterattack, but he was defeated by Pang Nuan. 20,000 Yan soldiers were captured and Ju Xin also died on the battlefield.

Since this battle, King Yan Ji Xi's temperament changed drastically.

The State of Yan was not originally a country with abundant granaries. It was only during the reign of King Zhao of Yan that it conquered more than 70 cities of the State of Qi and plundered Qi's wealth, and was able to accumulate abundant military supplies and fodder.

Decades passed, and the national situation of Yan State deteriorated. By the time King Xi of Yan ascended the throne, the treasury storage had been greatly reduced.

King Xi of Yan repeatedly plotted to attack Zhao, intending to emulate King Zhao of Yan's method of conquering Qi and enriching Yan. However, he did not expect that within twelve years, Yan suffered two disastrous defeats in two major wars, and its food, fodder and supplies were almost exhausted, and its military strength was sharply reduced to around 200,000.

Famous ministers and generals died or left, and there was no longer a capable arm to help with national affairs.

The country had no wealth and the court had no pillars, and King Xi of Yan became disheartened.

As a result, the traditional character of the old nobles of the Zhou royal family broke out. Ji Xi did nothing in the name of kindness and virtue. He spent all day hunting in the Yanshan Palace, treating the rise and fall of the world as a passing cloud that had nothing to do with him.

Ten years passed in a flash, and then a fresh and strong breeze blew into the Yan State's temple.

King Xi of Yan thought that he did not have the ability to strengthen the country, so he let Yan Dan do what he wanted. However, his son seemed to be following his old path.

Thinking of this, King Xi of Yan became even more worried. He drank bottle after bottle of wine until he was drunk and unconscious.

While the King of Yan was getting drunk, a man with flowing white hair and two men, one black and one red, jumped in from the heavily guarded walls of the King of Yan's Palace. The palace guards turned a blind eye to them, and the archers in the watchtowers just glanced at them and stopped paying attention. "Hehe, I wonder if the blood of the King of Yan, who has the blood of the Zhou Dynasty, is different from that of others."

The man in black soft armor and a red cloak smiled evilly.

"Hidden Bat, if you can't control your mouth, I can help you."

Wei Zhuang, dressed in a black robe embroidered with gold, turned his head to look at Yin Fu behind him. If there was no suitable man, he would never accept such a person as a subordinate.

The hidden bat practices the secret bat blood technique of southern Xinjiang. When practicing, he needs to inject bat blood into his body and circulate it to all the meridians in his body. Then, every time he kills a person and drinks all the blood in his body, his skills will improve by one point. However, if he does not drink blood for a day, he will age by one point.

If Yinfu, who practiced this unorthodox martial art, did not have sufficient self-control, he would have killed this person long ago.

The other man in black wearing a half green-eyed mask who followed him was named Canglang King. He discovered him when he escorted Ju Wu north into the grassland.

This is a wolf boy, who was abandoned and raised by a mother wolf. He has natural martial arts skills, is solitary and cruel, wild and persevering. He lives with wolves, is good at moving in the dark, and has the same night vision ability as a wolf.

He is much more reliable than Hidden Bat.

Just as Wei Zhuang was secretly discussing the two of them, the three of them had already arrived at the bedroom of King Xi of Yan.

The palace guards were the most trusted confidants of Prince Xi of Yan. When they saw Wei Zhuang and the other two appearing out of nowhere, they immediately blew the horn to warn them.

However, after receiving the warning horn, no one came to support. Only the five hundred people in charge of Prince Yan's bedroom gathered at the palace gate to form a formation.

However, the five hundred guards were still not enough in front of Wei Zhuang, the Wolf King and the Hidden Bat.

A half-step grandmaster warrior who had reached the grandmaster level, a first-rate warrior, and a second-rate warrior were facing off against these five hundred guards. It was a one-sided massacre.

"Where is the royal offering? Protect the king! Come and protect him!"

The sound of fighting outside the palace woke up the drunken King Xi of Yan, and the sound of weapons clashing made him terrified.

He didn't understand why there were martial artists who dared to assassinate the king!
Assassinating the king and killing the emperor is an absolute taboo in the world, otherwise how can the monarchs of various countries sleep peacefully?

What frightened King Xi of Yan the most was that at this moment, not only did the royal guards fail to come to rescue him, but even the warriors served by the royal family and even the only remaining master warrior from the royal family of Yan State did not come to protect him.

King Xi of Yan looked at Wei Zhuang, but saw that Wei Zhuang, King Canglang and Yinfu simply killed all the palace maids, eunuchs and dancers around him and then quickly left. How could he not understand the reason and laughed like a madman.

Looking at Yan Dan who hurriedly came with a sword in hand to "protect the emperor", King Yanxi rolled up his long sleeves and pointed at him and said, "Hahahahaha, you are worthy of being my good prince. What a trick!"

Even the imperial guards, royal servants and even the master warriors of the royal family had abandoned him. His good prince was really a good man who easily made him deserted by his friends and relatives!

"puff!"

The anger of being betrayed by his friends and relatives and the guilt towards the State of Yan were brewing in King Xi of Yan's heart. At this moment, his emotions reached their peak. King Xi of Yan's eyes turned black and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Years of drinking and reveling had already drained Yan Wangxi's body, but Yan Wangxi loved wine and meat, and he died of anger!
This scene really shocked Yan Dan and others. In his plan, he just kept the imperial guards still and watched Wei Zhuang eliminate the 500 palace guards who were the most loyal to Prince Xi of Yan. Then Yan Dan would lead the guards of the Prince's Palace to take over the garrison of the royal palace, put Prince Xi of Yan under house arrest, and thus take control of the power of the State of Yan.

It was never in his plan to make Prince Yan die of joy!

"Father!"

Yan Dan ran forward with red eyes, hugged Yan Wangxi's body and cried loudly. It was unclear whether he was crying for his father's death or for the death of Yan Wangxi that ruined his plan.
