When the Prince Dan of Yan State is the screenwriter, Jing Ke and Ying Zheng as the protagonist's historical drama " Jing Ke assassination of the King of Qin " ended, Yan State also received the anger of the powerful Qin monarch. Subsequently, the Qin general Wang Jian led the Qin army to attack Yan. At this time, the monarch of Yan, King Xi of Yan, fled to the current Liaoning area without being able to resist the offensive of the Qin army. However, the Qin army behind him did not intend to let him go. In order to survive, he killed his own son, Prince Dan, and presented his son's head to Qin, hoping to spare him. The result is obvious that Qin did not let Yan go, and the entire Yan State became the territory of Qin.
Throughout our country's history, the last monarch of all dynasties would find ways to escape when the city was broken and fled, in order to make a comeback one day. However, the act of King Yan's death killing his son for survival is extremely rare. Then why did he become so cowardly? Once upon a time, he was so passionate that he had just succeeded to the throne, and now he is so scared of Qin?
Yan State is a vassal state that existed for a long time, including the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, as is the Qi State, and has a long time. However, Qi State is no longer the Qi State of the Jiang family back then, but has become " Tian Qi ", but Yan State has always been the Yan State that has been passed down from generation to generation. The Yan State was established as early as the time when the Shang Dynasty was destroyed by Western Zhou . The first prince was once the younger brother of Ji Fa of King Wu of Zhou . It can be said that the bloodline of Yan State was once the royal bloodline of the Zhou Dynasty . The Yan State started from the first prince to the destruction of the Qin State for more than 800 years, which was longer than the 790 years of the Zhou Dynasty.
In the early days of , the Yan State was almost annexed by Qi State. When Young Master Yan, who was a proton outside, fled back to Yan State and became the king of Yan, he worked hard to govern and recruited talents, and finally made Yan State prosperous. Later, he defeated Qi and regained the occupied land, making Yan one of the seven heroes of the Warring States Period.
However, after the death of King Zhao of Yan, the national strength of Yan State gradually declined, King Yan Xi was the great-grandson of the monarch at that time. When King Xi of Yan succeeded to the throne, Yan State was also weak, but with great ambition, he wanted to make Yan State stronger. At this time, there was a Great Wall defense in the north of Yan State, and the remaining borders were Qi and Zhao countries, which had a grudge against their own country. It was still very difficult to expand their territory. So he kept waiting for a good opportunity, and it really made him wait for an opportunity.
When Qin State's King Zhaoxiang of Qin passed away, Six Kingdoms felt much more relaxed. This hero not only made Qin powerful, but also was always ready to go east to destroy the six countries. The God of Killing Bai Qi was under the command of this hero who killed 400,000 surrendered soldiers of Zhao's army. So Yan State sent people to Zhao State to investigate the situation in Zhao State. When the news came back, King Yan was very happy. It turns out that in the Zhao State at that time, in the Battle of Changping, and the subsequent Battle of Handan, countless males were killed and injured. At present, the remaining males in Zhao State were still children who had not grown up. This period was the best opportunity to attack Zhao.
So, King Xi of Yan planned to annex Zhao. As a result, the four famous generals of the Warring States Period defeated the Yan army in a panic with less than Yan's troops. He even directly attacked Yan State and directly attacked Yan State's capital. King Yan was shocked and immediately sought peace with Zhao State, ceded the land and compensated the money, and finally let Zhao State stop. As a result, King Yan Xi lost the rice even after stealing chickens, and his first conquest ended in embarrassingly.
A few years later, Lian Po was forced to leave, and King Yan was overjoyed when he heard the news. He was preparing to attack Zhao again, but unexpectedly, Zhao had already received news, so he directly sent another four famous generals of the Warring States Period, Li Mu, to attack Yan in advance, and captured two cities of Yan. This made Yan Wang Xi instantly honest and dared not to attack Zhao State in the short term.
When Li Mu of Zhao went to the north to resist Xiongnu . This made King Xi of Yan have an idea, and his general even said that Pang Xuan, the governor of Zhao State, was not afraid of it. The two of them worked together and had a deep understanding of him.So King Xi of Yan sent troops to attack Zhao again, preparing to clean up the shame that Zhao brought to him. As a result, Ju Xin was killed by Pang Yin, and the troops led by him were almost wiped out. From then on, King Xi of Yan could be said to be discouraged and no longer had any confidence. He never sent troops to attack other vassal states until his death.
However, Yan Wangxi did not dare to hit others, but others came to hit him. When Qin came out of the east and Zhao was destroyed, Yan became the target of Qin. It was originally planned to make King Xi of Yan surrender, but King Xi of Yan did not dare to compete with Qin. But his son Prince Dan wanted to make a last try, so the historical drama "Jing Ke assassinate the King of Qin" was staged. As a result, Qin Wang circumference of the pillar, making Prince Dan’s hope fade.
Then Wang Jian destroyed Yan, and Yan Wang Xi took Prince Dan to flee to the current Liaoning area. Later, I felt that Qin State destroyed Yan because his son Prince Dan sent assassin to assassinate the King of Qin. As long as Prince Dan died, the King of Qin could be relieved and Yan State would not destroy the kingdom.
However, the behavior of Yan Wang Xi did not exchange for the forgiveness of the King of Qin. Yan State was still destroyed, his son was killed by himself, and he became a laughing stock in the world. Perhaps, he could not understand until his death that Qin wanted the whole world, and even if he offered his own head, it would be useless. Poor to his ambitions, the soldiers of Yan State had already been crippled by Zhao State. After meeting Qin State, they could only be ruthlessly run over by the wheel of history.
