Chapter 193 The Sorrows of the Incompetent Yan Country

On the front line of Zhuolu, the commander of the Yan army of the cavalry turned against his tactics that prevented Qin Kai from attacking strongly. Now, he attacked Zhuolu day and night, and the killing sounds shook the sky before the pass every day, and the casualties were heavy. The soldiers' praise for him had also become complaints.

There is no harm without comparison. Now everyone has completely seen the ups and downs of Qin Kai and Qi Jie.

When Qin Kai advocated full-time attack, it was because Zhao Xing was not in Dai County, and Dai County had no leader. At the same time, Dai County had few troops, and as long as he attacked with all his strength, he could break through the pass and win.

As a result, Zhao Xing has returned, Zhao Yong has followed, and Zhao Yong has brought another 100,000 Zhao troops. Now, the enemy in the lockdown has a group of casualties, and there will be another group, endless batches. There are a group of casualties here, so a group of fewer. Originally, there were 200,000 Yan troops, but now only 150,000 are still alive. Such huge casualties are unbearable. The soldiers have begun to get tired of war.

Faced with such a situation, Qi Jie felt that the power on the other side was invincible, and felt that the soldiers' eyes had changed their taste, and his heart began to panic.

He was a little confused now and didn't know how to continue. To be honest, he was already discouraged.

At this moment, the messenger of the King of Yan arrived. When he opened the King of Yan's book, Qi Jie was not frightened by Zhao Xing's sudden appearance in Yandu. Instead, he felt relieved. Because he had an excuse to end the predicament in front of him, he could withdraw his troops with justification.

With a secret joy, he summoned the generals to hold a meeting and announced the order of the King of Yan to return to the capital. He thought he would be cheered by the war-weary soldiers, but there was a silence in the tent. Wu Sheng, the subordinate army, broke the silence: "I don't know how the general will arrange for the withdrawal of troops like this?"

Qi Jie of course said: "Since the capital is in danger, then our entire army will return to the rescue as quickly as possible."

"So, what should I do here?"

Qi Jie said, "What else can I do? The war here is over. Let's deal with another war. Isn't it a greater military merit to annihilate Zhao Xing who died in front of Yandu?"

The Junzuo of Xia cautionedly reminded: "Who will leave behind to break the rear?"

"Break the rear?" Qi Jie was very confused. He really didn't expect this: "The Zhao people have been beaten so frightened by us, so they shouldn't chase them."

Xia Junzuo was dizzy at the time. He really didn't expect that this general, who was praised as a famous general by the Yan State, did not even have this common sense. What could have happened?

Yan State is actually a very sad vassal state. It has long been known as a place of generous and tragic sings. However, there has never been a real famous general. A guy like Qin Kaiqijie who is considered a mediocre person in any other vassal state. Even a famous general is a god of war here. Of course, the exception of Le Yi in history, because Le Yi was already Zhao Xing's pawn.

Faced with such mediocre talents, the general of the Central Army could only stand up and said: "Zhao Yong's 100,000-strong army is in a strong morale, how can he be scared? Once our army withdraws, they will definitely know that Zhao Xing's treacherous plan has succeeded and will inevitably lead his troops to pursue us. At that time, we will be attacked from both sides. Therefore, it is still necessary to leave an army to cut off the back and ensure the safety of the main force behind the return. Please be aware of it."

Qi Jie pondered, and the whole army was eager to return, but then he remembered that this was indeed the case and that this matter really had to be done. So he made a steady decision: "Since the subordinate army proposed this matter, then leave the matter to the subordinate army."

The lower army officer stood up and received the order: "Here." He was happy to accept this task, one to take into account the overall situation, and the other to avoid running around. The most important thing is that he could avoid a fight with Zhao Xing. To be honest, Zhao Xing's battle to destroy the main force of Qin and Wei, and angered Zhang Yi to death, did make the generals of the various princes feel afraid.

He still has 40,000 troops, and he can easily block Puzhukou with the danger of Shaoguan. In this way, he has saved the back of the army and saved his subordinates from running around. This is the best of both worlds. As for the face of Zhao Yong's 100,000 troops who are about to chase after him, Wu Sheng is confident that he will block him with the danger of being in a pass.

After interrupting Wu Sheng's thoughts, Qi Jie turned to the topic: "However, 100,000 people in Yandu are in Yandu, we must deal with them with absolute power. After the break, we will leave five thousand. With the risk of the Ragguan, we will block the army that Zhao may pursue."

Wu Sheng was shocked at the time and quickly fought for: "General, facing a possible 100,000 Zhao army of 5,000, even if the Shaoguan is dangerous, he will never be able to defend it. General, it won't work."

The Central Army General also helped to defend himself: "Our army is tired and tired of war. Because we withdraw our troops because we have no victory, the morale of the Zhao army will be as strong as a rainbow. One is rising and the other is getting worse, and we are already at a disadvantage. If we rely solely on the five thousand exhausted troops with a depressed and low morale, it is absolutely impossible to defend Shao Pass. Please leave the entire army behind."

Qi Jie was furious at the time: "Yandu is in danger. Once there is danger, it will shake the foundation of the country. We must do our best to annihilate Zhao Xing from Yan State, otherwise we will be the eternal sinners of Yan State."

The lower army stomped his feet: "If only 5,000 people were left to cut off the rear, then once the Zhao army attacked with all its might, Shaoguan would fall. At that time, the main force of our army, who was retreating, would be pursued by the Zhao people again when the morale of the army was unstable, the main force would collapse in a blink of an eye. More than 100,000 troops were the main force of Yan State. Once it collapsed, we would be the real sinners of Yan State forever."

Qi Jie was furious: "You say this, you are greedy for life and fear of death. You are so greedy for life and fear of death that shakes the morale of the army. Come on, push Wu Sheng to the Dharma to encourage morale of the army."

All the generals in the tent were shocked. The senior general of Xia Junzuo was killed to inspire morale in the army? What kind of bastard logic is this?

So the generals in the tent knelt down and pleaded with each other, and for a moment it was in chaos.

Qi Jie firmly disagreed with taking back Cheng's life, and in the end it was the general of the Central Army who came out to resolve the deadlock: "Since that's the case, let the subordinates make a meritorious service to guard Shaoguan."

Wu Sheng was really depressed. He was really devoted to the country and the overall situation. How could this be a sin?

The general of the Central Army pulled the indignant Wu Sheng out and said helplessly to him: "There is a son who is very ambitious inside, and the mediocre person outside has taken over the high position because of his origin. The king will only think about it. Yan State is not far from the destruction of the country. This time, I feel that we will definitely suffer a big defeat."

Wu Sheng stamped his feet: "Since we know that we have suffered a great defeat after all, we should work hard to save the situation. How can we still be so accommodating?"

The general of the Central Army shook his head in pain: "If you want to work hard, you will not die in the hands of the people of Zhao, but will inevitably die in the hands of this mediocre person. You should bear humiliation and guard Shaoguan, and do something real for Yan State."

"If you lose the Spoon Pass like this, you will lose the Spoon Pass and the retreating army will be destroyed after all, and the Yan State will be finished."

The general of the Central Army looked at Wu Sheng and finally whispered solemnly: "If you can defend, you can defend; if you can't defend, please keep a useful body and prepare for saving the future Yan Kingdom." He gently patted his shoulder, then sighed and walked back to the tent.
