"What? The Qin army has already entered our Yan territory? How is this possible? What is Crown Prince Dan doing?"
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has led the army and fled back directly!!"
"Fled back? He still has the face to flee back? That's fifteen cities! How could he abandon our Yan cities so easily!"
It must be known that every city in Yan was built with the blood and sweat of generations of Yan ancestors.
Therefore, every city was extremely important to Yan.
Now, losing fifteen cities at once, and with the Qin army deep within their Yan territory.
This was simply unacceptable to the King of Yan.
He even wished he could draw his treasured sword and kill Crown Prince Dan.
This unfilial son had brought such great losses to Yan.
However, while the King of Yan was blaming Crown Prince Dan, someone pleaded for him.
"Your Majesty, this cannot entirely be blamed on the Crown Prince. It is because the Qin army is too ferocious!"
"If the Crown Prince had not retreated and brought the army back to the capital, the danger would not only be to our Yan cities, but also to our Yan capital!"
"It must be known that our capital only has tens of thousands of soldiers! If the Crown Prince's army did not join, our capital would surely not be able to withstand the Qin army's offensive!"
"At that time, our Yan will be in grave danger!"
Upon hearing this, the King of Yan was shocked.
That the Qin would advance all the way to their capital and conquer Yan was something the King of Yan had never expected.
Thinking of the tens of thousands of soldiers in their capital, while Lin Tian had nearly a hundred thousand troops.
If they attacked, the Yan capital might truly be lost.
This thought made the King of Yan tremble with fear.
At this moment, he could no longer focus on blaming Crown Prince Dan!
"This, how can the Qin army be so powerful? How could they have so easily breached our cities?"
"If it were another general leading the Qin army, it would not be this swift. But Qin's Lin Tian is different. Not only is his personal combat strength unparalleled, but his army is also unmatched!"
"Therefore, they basically breached our cities in an instant. Our soldiers were simply unable to resist."
"If that Lin Tian's army comes killing, do we truly have no way to resist?"
"Other than using the advantage of numbers to fight them, we truly have no better way to fight them!"
"Numbers, approximately how many soldiers would we need?"
At this statement, many fell silent.
Although Lin Tian's army was less than a hundred thousand, the achievements he had created were too brilliant.
Whether it was previously defeating Li Mu and Ji Dan's hundred thousand troops with fewer numbers, or annihilating the Xiongnu's two hundred thousand troops outside Yanmen Pass.
These all indicated that Lin Tian's army was not comparable to ordinary armies.
Therefore, it was clearly impossible to resist Lin Tian's army with the conventional number of soldiers.
Thus, after much contemplation, everyone finally spoke:
"To resist Lin Tian's army, at least two hundred thousand soldiers are needed!"
"It would be even better to have three times their army strength, because previously, the Xiongnu's two hundred thousand troops also lost to Lin Tian's army!"
"Three times, wouldn't that mean we need three hundred thousand soldiers?"
Hearing this number, the King of Yan was extremely shocked.
It must be known that Yan had not been very strong in recent years, and had previously lost a hundred thousand troops.
To ask them to produce three hundred thousand soldiers now was completely impossible.
Not to mention, Qin would never give them that much time to gather three hundred thousand soldiers.
This was undoubtedly fatal to Yan.
"Two hundred thousand soldiers aren't enough? Coupled with the soldiers under Crown Prince Dan, we can still gather two hundred thousand soldiers. Can't our two hundred thousand soldiers withstand the onslaught of the Yan army?"
"Two hundred thousand soldiers are not impossible, but victory cannot be guaranteed!"
Hearing this, the King of Yan's heart sank.
Qin was already close to their capital, and under such circumstances, Yan still could not guarantee victory. Did this not mean that Yan was in constant danger of perishing?
Upon reaching this conclusion, the King of Yan slumped onto his throne.
Even his voice trembled a little as he spoke.
"Is Qin's Lin Tian really that formidable?"
"Currently, he is invincible under the heavens!!"
The more they understood Lin Tian, the more they knew how terrifying he was.
At this moment, even the generals of Yan had to admire Lin Tian.
If it were any one of them, they would not have achieved such brilliant feats as Lin Tian.
Much less be able to achieve a hundred victories out of a hundred battles like Lin Tian.
Therefore, they had to view Lin Tian in his strongest light.
Only then would they not suffer losses.
Hearing this, the King of Yan fell silent.
No one knew what he was thinking.
But that night, he summoned Crown Prince Dan.
"You have stirred up this disaster, you tell me how to resolve it!"
"If you cannot give me a satisfactory answer today, then do not blame me for being cruel and ruthless!"
King of Yan Xi was a ruthless person.
Therefore, even though the Crown Prince Dan before him was his own son, he still did not hesitate to utter threatening words.
Crown Prince Dan also understood King Yan Xi very well.
He knew that King Yan Xi's words were true.
If he could not resolve this crisis, then he might very well die here.
Therefore, at this moment, Crown Prince Dan's mind was racing, desperately trying to find a solution.
However, many solutions he thought of were then rejected by him.
He knew that many methods were unsuitable.
Those methods were simply not feasible.
This made Crown Prince Dan increasingly nervous.
It was only when King Yan Xi had already picked up his treasured sword and begun to polish it that a flash of inspiration struck Crown Prince Dan's mind.
He remembered a plan.
It was also a plan that Zhang Liang had told him before.
"Father, your son has thought of a way. We can assassinate the King of Qin! As long as the King of Qin dies, the Qin army will naturally disperse without a fight!!"
"Assassinate the King of Qin? Foolish! Do you think the King of Qin is someone you can kill if you wish? I fear your men would be captured by the Qin Iron Eagle Warriors before they even reach Xianyang, the capital of Qin."
"Ordinary methods would naturally not allow us to approach the King of Qin. However, if we pretend to surrender and offer the map of our Yan military distribution, it would be different!"
"At this time, all that is needed is a top assassin holding the map and a treasured sword to approach Ying Zheng and kill him!"
"Once Ying Zheng is dead, Qin will surely fall into chaos! Our Yan's crisis will then naturally be resolved!"
