Yan State, a small county town in Yuyang County.
At this moment, the county town was already burning with raging fire, and countless people were driven out. Their faces were frightened, and tears kept falling from their eyes.
These people have lived in this county for generations, but at this moment, the enemies of Yan State drove them out and set fire to their homes, completely cutting off their retreat.
"Hurry up, you untouchables, line up for me and follow me, otherwise, we will all be killed without mercy!" A mighty knight in armor, holding a riding crop, waved it in the air, and hit one He hit the old man and beat him until he rolled on the ground.
"You..." The countless Yan people next to the old man were all stunned, gritting their teeth and holding hands, but they still did not dare to step forward and resist.
"Hmph! What are you doing? Be honest and obedient, and you can avoid physical pain. Anyone who resists will die!" With a disdainful snort, these old and weak women and children were within reach, and all the strong men in the family were recruited to serve as soldiers. , resisted my imperial kingdom, and with these disabilities, they dared to resist my army. As he spoke, the knight drew his sword and pointed it at these common people.
Under the coercion of the long sword, these unarmed people had no choice but to succumb to the knight's power, obediently obeyed the soldiers' instructions, and walked towards the distance, leaving their hometown.
The same scene happened not only in this small county, but also in counties and villages across Yan State. Groups of people were driven to Liaodong in batches.
Yandu, Jicheng, Yanwang Palace.
"What? How dare the traitor do this? This is to destroy my foundation!" Sitting on his throne, King Yan happily listened to his scouts report the information he had heard, making his hands clap hard. He patted the throne and stood up.
"Your Majesty, calm down and take care of yourself. These untouchables, let those people plunder them and plunder them! As long as you are still the king of the Yan Kingdom, and you are still the dominant one in the three western counties, then as the king, you will Dignity cannot be shaken!" Yan Chunjun advised, he didn't care how many people of Yan State were robbed by others, he only cared about his position and whether he was Yan Chunjun of Yan State.
"Yes, Your Majesty, these people are just batches of grass. After they are cut, there will be more. The land is real, and your throne is real! Everything else is not important." The general Yan Yi also spoke out to persuade.
"Damn it, you two treacherous people. It's not because of you two that our country, Yan, is in this state. Now you still dare to come up with such a plan that will bring disaster to the country and the people. Father, I ask you to kill these two beasts to tell the truth." I, the people of Yan State!" Prince Dan of Yan State, seeing these two traitors still making nonsense here, said angrily and pulled out the long sword in his hand.
"You, you are such a mouthful, all this is a mature strategy for the country. It is for the country of Yan, for the king. You are just a little kid, how can you understand the important affairs of the country!" Prince Dan scolded him like this, and proposed to kill himself. Yan Chunjun panicked for a moment, fearing that his nephew would agree to the request.
"That's right, Your Majesty, Prince Dan actually dared to draw his sword in the court hall. Please punish him for such a treasonous and unethical act!" Hearing that Prince Pill actually affected him, Yan Yi quickly caught his negligence and told Yan Wang Xi made a small report.
"Okay, let's be bold. Above the court, in a solemn place, you are noisy and even draw your swords to fight. How can you behave like this? Why don't you put away your swords and step back!" Seeing the commotion in front of me, it was a pot of porridge. , at this time, you still act like this. King Yan shouted angrily and ordered Yan Dan to put away his sword.
"Yes, Father, the child is impulsive, but some people think that now we should take the initiative and lead the army to repel the enemy troops outside the city, or even go out of the city to harass them and rescue more people of the Yan Kingdom. This is better! "Yan Dan realized that his behavior was a bit excessive, so he quickly put away his sword and changed his strategy.
"This, what you said is not unreasonable. Although there are many untouchables, if they lose hundreds of thousands at once, the strength of our Yan country will also be greatly damaged!" King Yan also hesitated when he heard Yan Dan's request.
"Your Majesty, this is a strategy that harms the country. The army inside our city is only half of the enemy's army outside the city. Leaving the city is just asking for death. If we lose, I am afraid that the royal city may be overturned." Lord Yan Chun heard that King Yan seemed to Yao agreed with Yan Dan's plan and said quickly in panic.
"That's right, the soldiers in the city are panic-stricken at the moment and rush out to fight. I'm afraid that the army will be scattered and collapse without a fight!" Yan Yi did not want to send out the army under his command. These are the guarantee of his authority and whether Yan Guo can hold it. The trump card was that the danger of leaving the station was too great, and he did not dare to take the risk.
"That's what the two beloved ministers said, but it is a guarantee for the Yan State's society. The loss cannot be too great!" King Yan hesitated again when he heard the two people's replies.
"Father..." Hearing that his father was about to reject his suggestion, Yan Dan looked at Yan Wangxi anxiously.
"What Wang Er said is not wrong. Well, it's impossible for the whole army to go out to fight, but I will give you 30,000 troops, led by you, Wang Er, to go out of the city to harass the enemy troops and rescue my people of Yan State!" After thinking again and again, King Yan came up with such a compromise plan.
It was able to attack the enemy's plan outside the city, and the remaining army could defend the capital. It was the best of both worlds, and all aspects were taken into consideration. King Yan couldn't help but feel proud of his wisdom.
"Yes, father, I will lead the army now to repel the enemy and rescue the plundered people of Yan State!" Seeing that his father had made up his mind, it was useless to persuade him. Yan Dan sighed inwardly and accepted the order.
He walked out of the palace hall in a lonely state. Behind him, Yan Chunjun and his two men looked at Yan Dan with a sneer. This loser still wants to fight with us? ridiculous
Yan Dan walked out of the palace gate and looked back at this majestic and gorgeous palace. He couldn't help but feel extremely tired in his heart. Is his Yan country really hopeless
He thought again of his father's hesitation and the actions of Yan Chunjun and his two brothers that brought disaster to the country and the people. He sighed, but was left speechless.
But, no matter what, I still have to do everything I can to protect him and save him for my Yan country and my family, even if it means delaying its fate, even for a moment.
With the flames rising in his eyes, he jumped on the horses of the surrounding guards and ran towards the camp in the city. He also wanted to select a group of warriors there to fight off the enemy army with him and protect his homeland. , Huang Yanguo once again had peace.
Presumably, the soldiers in the city were holding their breath at this moment. After all, the enemies outside the city were plundering their relatives.
