"Jusin, how did you command it? I gave you the soldiers of the whole country, but you gave Li Mu. Li Mu was defeated for thousands of miles. Not only did he lose the city and land, he also led Li Mu to Jicheng. Do you want me to be king?" King Yan roared at Juxin in anger.

Yan has always been weak and Zhao has strong. Yan State won not win many battles during the battle between Yan and Zhao. For decades, Zhao State has adopted the strategy of seizing as much land as Qin State from Yan State. Yan State suffered too much defeat and can be said to be numb. The King of Yan should accept the fact that he was defeated thousands of miles away.

He exacerbated all his anger and was really unfair to Ji Xin.

The battle with Zhao State did not win a battle is a historical heritage of Yan State. It is not that Ju Xin did not want to win a battle, but that he could not do it. The reasons are many. Not only is Ju Xin's military talent not as good as Li Mu, but also that Yan State has too many bad policies, much more than Zhao State. When military orders cannot be smooth, merits cannot be rewarded and punishments cannot be punished, soldiers will not be able to win a battle.

Ju Xin felt aggrieved and could not argue, so he had to apologize and said, "Your Majesty, I am guilty, so I would like to ask you to punish me."

"You said, what should we do?" King Yan had no idea and wanted Ma Juxin to withdraw immediately. He also understood that Juxin was indispensable for Yan State, so he had to endure his anger and ask for advice.

Ju Xin replied: "The king, I dare not talk about state affairs when I am guilty. I also ask the king to choose another good person.

"It's not Ju Xin's acting, but his disheartenedness. It can be said that if Ju Xin had not commanded the army, if it were other generals, Li Mu might not have captured a large amount of Yan's territory, but the entire Yan's country.

He worked hard but was scolded by the King of Yan. How could he not be discouraged?

The King of Yan pointed at Ju Xin and said with a grudge: "Jus Xin, if you dare to ask for you, what I hate the most is to threaten me.

"Take a breath, suppressed his anger, and asked, "Tell me, what do you want me to do?" Although the anger was strong, he still maintained a little bit of clarity, knowing that Ju Xin was inseparable.

Ju Xin kowtowed and said, "The king must say it. I cannot speak. I think that the important thing at present should be to organize the defense of Jicheng, which can send civilians to strengthen the city walls, send weapons to the people, and let the people help defend the city."

"How many soldiers and horses do we have?" The king of Yan was ridiculous enough, and he didn't know how many soldiers and horses he could have in his hands to mobilize.

Ju Xin replied: "Not 30,000. If the people are organized, there will be about 100,000, and you can still fight."

This is the best way at present. But he rejected the King of Yan and said, "It is okay for the people to help build the city wall and transport some things. They are used to fight. I think it's a joke.

Even my army can’t defend, can they defend it? Ju Xin, how sure are you?”

Ju Xin pondered for a while and said, "Master. It is hard for me to predict the victory or defeat. However, I know that as long as we resist for a while, our reinforcements will arrive."

"Reinforcements? Do you still have reinforcements? Good, you dare not hide it and report it. Let me see how I punish you." The King of Yan was full of fear and disappeared suddenly, with a happy look on his face, as if a million troops were right in front of him.

Ju Xin explained: "The King of Qin has assured us that Zhao will not sit idly by the attack on Yan State. We have already informed the world that Qin State requested the Qin State to send troops to reinforce. The Qin army should be on the way."

The King of Yan suddenly realized and said, "Qin Army? If the Qin army arrives, Li Mu will be powerless and must retreat. However, I am worried that the King of Qin is using a plan.

You should know that when Sun Bin surrounded Wei and rescued Zhao, he also sent envoys to Zhao State. He lied that the Qi army would arrive later. In order to boost Zhao State's confidence, the Qi army directly attacked the rear of Wei State and forced the Wei State to withdraw its troops.

What I am worried about is that the King of Qin used this strategy, proclaiming to save Yan, but leading a large army to attack the hinterland of Zhao. In this way, our Yan State will not become a sucker and serve as a shield for Qin State."

Who said that the King of Yan was confused? Don’t you quite understand?

Ju Xin expressed his opinion and said: "From a military perspective, the Qin army directly attacked the hinterland of Zhao State is a top strategy, which is better than joining our army.

Even so, as soon as the Qin army arrived at the hinterland of Zhao, Li Mu would inevitably withdraw his troops, and Yan State would still be safe and sound."

"Stop talking nonsense. I ask you, can you keep it?" King Yan didn't have the time to listen to his analysis.

Ju Xin was also in a bottomless mind about this question and said, "Your Majesty, even if you are tragic, you must protect Jicheng."

"Forget it, Jicheng is left to you. If you can defend it, you can defend it. If you can't, you can retreat." King Yan thought for a moment and said, "I will go to Liaodong first, prepare money and grain for you and recruit troops.

"In fact, he wanted to escape, but he found such a beautiful excuse.

Liaodong refers to the current Northeast and part of the Korean Peninsula, which belonged to the Yan State at that time.

Ju Xin knew his thoughts and advised him hard: "Master, please listen to me.

If the king is in Jicheng, then all the people in Jicheng will be happy and fight to the death. If the king goes to Liaodong, the army has no master's morale and the people's morale will be left to support it, and it will not be able to fight, which will be unfavorable to our Yan State."

Regardless of whether the king has talents or not, as long as he stands there, it is the best call, let alone in the most difficult time, the symbolic meaning of the king will be magnified countless times, which is of great benefit to defending Jicheng.

The King of Yan didn't think so and shouted, "Ju Xin, do you still want me to die in Jicheng with you?" He took a big step and was about to leave. Ju Xin hurriedly stopped him and said, "Your Majesty, please think about me three times."

When the king and his minister were in a stalemate, the eunuch came in to report: "I heard from the king, and the envoy of Qin asked to see the king."

"Hurry, please invite the envoy of Qin." The King of Yan suddenly looked radiant, as if the beggar saw a golden ingot.

The eunuch responded and went out to lead the Qin envoy in. The King of Yan seemed to be as kind as a wanderer to see his relatives. He grabbed the Qin envoy's hand and asked, "Is there any good news for you here?"

The Qin envoy politely said, "Go back to the king, the foreign minister will come to pass on the will of my king according to the order of my king. Please accept the order."

When the King of Yan was dizzy, he did not expect that the Qin envoy's implication was that the King of Qin treated him as a vassal minister, and said happily: "I received the order."

The Qin envoy smiled coldly and spread the Qin king's will and said, "List of Yan, King Yan, I will not let Zhao's army and soldiers leave the country. If there is any violation, I will destroy Yan!"

This is the king's order to his ministers, and the king of Yan was flattered and said, "It must be certain, and one soldier in Zhao State will not be allowed to leave the country."

Ju Xin, why are you standing there? You haven’t gone to beat Li Mu? If a soldier from Zhao State is let go, you will ask.”
