Chapter 94 Section 6 Crown Prince Pill Awarding the Head

Besides, although Jing Ke is dead, the mastermind Yan Guo and Prince Dan are still there.Those who violate the strong Qin will be punished even if they are far away.Yingzheng sent an additional 100,000 troops to reinforce Wang Jian who was stationed in Zhongshan, and ordered him to destroy Yan for revenge.Wang Jian got the order, sent his troops to rush forward, defeated Yan, and Dai joined forces to the west of Yishui. In the twenty-first year of Yingzheng, in winter and October, Wang Jian captured Ji, the capital of Yan State. King Xi of Yan, Prince Dan and others led their elite troops to protect the east of Liaodong.Liaodong is a land of black mountains and white water, coupled with the cold weather and harsh climate, Wang Jian was old and cautious, thinking that it was not time to use troops, he won the victory in Xianyang, and at the same time ordered the Qin army to rest on the spot and wait for the next spring to fight again.

Li Xin, the deputy general, was the most outstanding among the young generals of the Qin State, he was very dissatisfied and advocated that the leftovers should be chased after the poor.Wang Jian suppressed it.Li Xin said enthusiastically, "If someone wants to issue a military order, he must have the head of Prince Dan to offer it." Wang Jian had no choice but to agree. Li Xin led 3,000 elite soldiers, with flags flying and horses neighing, chasing the Yan army day and night. The wind and snow could not stop the charge of the young generals; the bitter cold frontier could not freeze the blood of the men of the Qin army.

Li Xin stepped on the snow to break through the ice, and crossed mountains and rivers.The Yan army at the rear of the palace could not resist at all, and was defeated in one battle.Seeing that he was about to catch up with the main force of the Yan army, the King of Yan was terrified. How could the Qin army be so ruthless? They had fled for more than a thousand miles, and they still refused to let go?At a loss, he had no choice but to send envoys to seek help from Daiwang Zhao Jia. The acting king Zhao Jia was also poor and alone, with no soldiers to send, so he could only express his spiritual support, and sent another book, saying: "Qin is still chasing after Yan, because of Prince Dan. Today Wang Cheng kills Dan and offers The king of Qin, the king of Qin will be relieved, and Sheji is fortunate to be fed with blood."

At that time, Prince Dan was hiding among Yanshui in Liaodong, accompanied by more than ten disciples.Putting Prince Pill in such a secret place is also the love of the old King Yan.However, Prince Dan is in a restless year, how can he bear the winter wind, a boat with a leaf, a cocoon thread and a light hook, and live the ordinary life of a fisherman on the river. Prince Dan is depressed all day long, only looking forward to being recalled by his father sooner.On this day, the messenger finally came.Prince Dan was overjoyed, hosted a banquet for him, and felt drunk, he asked again, "Your Majesty is summoned, could it be that the Qin army has retreated?"

The envoy replied, "Because the Qin army did not retreat, the prince was called." Prince Dan smiled and said, "Why?" The envoy said, "If you win the prince's head, the Qin army will retreat." Only then did Prince Dan wake up, he kicked over the wine table, and wanted to escape, but was knocked to the ground by the envoy.Prince Dan shouted angrily, "I am the Crown Prince of Yan Kingdom, you are against me!" The envoy said, "It is all because of you that you ruined the country and family today! If you sacrifice yourself to serve the country, why should you complain?" Prince Dan's head was cut off with a sword, and all his disciples were killed.

Yan Wangxi couldn't be happy anymore, so he could only put his son's head in a golden letter with his own hands, and sent an envoy to offer it to Li Xin in order to obtain temporary peace.Li Xin's army went deep alone and could not last long, and the cold climate in Liaodong also made it difficult for the soldiers of the Qin army who had lived in the northwest for a long time to adapt. Now that they had won the head of Prince Dan, their goal had been fulfilled as they wished, so they withdrew.
