Chapter 339 The Death of Xiang Sheng, the Surrender of the Yan Army

Xiang Sheng is dead.

At this moment, Li Qi was truly shaken to his core.

It was thought that he had come with the King of Qin to attack Julu, and that as the former general who defended Julu, he would be able to play a significant role in assisting the Qin state.

However, from the moment the King of Qin invited the Yan general Wen Jie to leave the city, Xiang Sheng was already caught in the trap of the conspiracy.

At this moment, Li Qi could better understand the importance of wisdom above courage, as mentioned by the King of Qin!

Without wisdom and strategy, it would have been impossible to lead the Qin state to a miraculous turnaround and rise to power.

Now, the Chu army is finished.

With Xiang Sheng dead, the remaining scattered Chu troops are no longer a threat.

Let's see what choice the Yan army in the city will make!

……

On the east city wall, Wen Jie personally led his men in a relentless pursuit of the Chu army.

At first, Wen Jie was very happy when he heard that the Qin army was prepared outside the east city and had caused heavy losses to the Chu army.

Those traitors from Chu deserve to die.

They're all bandits; all they know how to do is rob the Yan army of their valuables.

But as the war continued, seeing the ferocity of the Qin army and how they slaughtered the Chu army like dogs, Wen Jie could no longer laugh.

As a cavalry commander, he also knew the limitations of cavalry combat clashes. Once they gathered together and clashed, it was a contest of raw strength between the two sides.

At this time, the Qin army was still crushing the Chu army, which was very strange.

In just half a day, the thousands of Chu soldiers who had rushed out of the city were almost all killed, and their corpses piled up like mountains!

"Are these really Qin soldiers?"

Some of the Yan generals spoke with blank expressions.

"Now I understand why, on that day, a thousand Qin cavalrymen attacked five thousand Chu cavalrymen and were still able to kill the Zhao prime minister and leave triumphantly!"

The strength of these cavalry is simply not in the same league.

If they were to face this Qin army, would they be able to hold them off?

"General Right, what do we do now...?"

Blood flowed like a river outside the city, and corpses writhed in the frozen blood, a sight that stung the eyes of everyone present.

This is not something they can deal with.

"How to do?"

Wen Jie's head also started to swell.

"Xiang Sheng, that idiot, why did he attack the Yan army? Why?!"

Wen Jie was furious and started cursing.

If this guy had obediently defended the city and joined forces with the Yan army, how could he have been driven out of the city, ambushed and killed by the Qin army, and ended up with such a miserable fate?

He had just seen clearly that the last batch of Chu soldiers were surrounded, and Xiang Sheng should have been there too, shot to death by a hail of arrows.

After Wen Jie finished cursing, a long, deathly silence fell on the city wall.

As the sun set, the Qin army cleaned up the battlefield outside and began to gather in large numbers around the city.

The many Yan generals on the city wall seemed to have been frozen into sculptures.

This was a Qin army that had just won a great victory. The smell of blood on their bodies had not yet dissipated, and the overwhelming murderous aura they had gathered pressed down on the walls of Julu City.

It looked as if they wanted to destroy the city walls directly.

At this moment, Wen Jie saw dozens of Qin soldiers marching in formation, and a thought stirred within him.

“General of the Right of Yan, my king has ordered that you have done a very good job in this battle, and have successfully cooperated with the Qin army to kill the Chu traitors and suppress the rebellion.”

"By order of the King, General, you need not hide among the Yan army any longer. Open the city gates immediately and welcome the royal army..."

The next moment, many Yan generals stared at Wen Jie in disbelief.

"When the Right General left the city that day, did he truly surrender to the Qin...King's army?"

"No wonder many Chu traitors have been saying these past few days that our Yan army has betrayed the righteous army. Why did the Right General make such a decision without telling the brothers!"

"We hope that after General Right returns to the royal army, he will not make things difficult for us..."

Many Yan generals immediately spoke up, saying that Zang Tu had absolutely no loyalty to them.

Insubordination was an old tradition of the Yan army.

They've only betrayed the Yan state in the face of battle; they haven't tried to betray it again, which is already quite conscientious of them.

Wen Jie felt as if a cold current had surged through his blood, freezing him in place.

"I didn't, I didn't..."

He hasn't decided whether to submit yet!

But no one believed what Wenjie said.

"If the Right General had not surrendered to the royal army, how could the Qin army have only attacked the Chu army and not the Yan army these past few days?"

"Furthermore, didn't the Right General already order us to be careful and guard against the Chu army?"

"If it weren't for General Right's advance planning, keeping the Yan soldiers constantly ready for battle, they wouldn't have been able to drive the Chu army out so quickly and be completely wiped out by the royal army!"

"General Right, stop hiding..."

Wen Jie is now unable to explain herself; she opened her mouth several times, but ultimately couldn't say anything.

In the midst of the icy storm, Wen Jie's mind gradually cleared, and he vaguely grasped something important!

A conspiracy... he seems to be caught in some kind of conspiracy...

"Oh, right, that letter..."

"has a problem!"

Wen Jie quickly opened the silk letter given to her by the King of Qin.

I glanced at it a few times.

With such extensive smearing, how could the Chu general not have suspicions?

The alliance between Yan and Chu was only temporary, and no trust was established between them.

Everything in that city seemed to be part of a conspiracy.

The Yan army began to take precautions, the Chu army began to suspect that there was something wrong with the Yan army, and the Qin army also adopted a different approach to attack.

This ultimately led to a complete eruption of the conflict between Yan and Chu!

Finished!

It turns out that he was the biggest culprit behind the annihilation of the Chu army!

Upon realizing this, Wen Jie was completely stunned.

Before Wen Jie could speak, among the many Yan generals who knew that their Right General and the royal army had long been cooperating, some took it upon themselves to open the east gate and walked towards the Qin army with extremely obsequious smiles.

If you submit to the royal army in the future, you'll have to follow the royal army!

They should hurry up and make their stance clear, and try to get on the good side of the royal army.

They never even considered defending Julu to the death.

In any case, this rebellion was led by General Wen Jie!

Being able to avoid dealing with such a terrifying Qin army, and with someone taking the lead, everyone felt no psychological pressure and rushed to surrender to the royal army.

……

Under the moonlight, the cold wind was biting.

In a courtyard near the eastern city wall of Julu, dozens of Yan generals knelt before him, some too afraid to look up at the imposing figure.

Wen Jie knelt in front of everyone, still in a daze.

No, where did I get this? How did Julu City fall so quickly?

Before he could even speak or make up his mind, the royal army entered the city?

"General You's achievements in this battle are comparable to those of the legendary war god Guo Kai!"

"It directly helped the Qin army eliminate Xiang Sheng, a major enemy of the Chu army, and also led 20,000 Yan soldiers to surrender to the royal army."

"I thank General Right."

The Yan general was surprised. Was the King of Qin really such a gentle person?

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and felt completely at ease!

However, the credit for attacking the Chu army and opening the city gates did not belong to Wen Jie alone!

Wen Jie was able to betray the Yan army and earned the praise of the King of Qin.

They might just betray the Yan state.

Among the Yan generals, one man suddenly stood up, and just as Zhao Ben gripped his weapon, ready to attack, he spoke.

"Your Majesty, the Yan Kingdom has suffered under the Tibetans for too long. I am utterly loyal to the royal army and am willing to assist them in pacifying the Tibetan bandits in the north!"
