Chapter 540: Chapter 226: King of Yan: Zhao Feng, Do You Dare Kill a King?

When Zhao Feng turned to leave.

All the frontier soldiers on the city tower erupted.

“General Gongsun.”

“Is what this Qin General said true or false?”

“Did the King really collude with the foreign tribes?”

“We are all people of the Northern Frontier; if the foreign tribes invade, what will happen to our families?”

“If the King really colluded with the foreign tribes, then he is unworthy of being King.”

“Nonsense, colluding with foreign tribes is betrayal of the nation.”

“The one who came was General Zhao Feng from Qin, he wouldn’t say such things to deceive us. After all, for Zhao Feng, breaking through Ji City is not difficult.”

“The King colluding with foreign tribes is forgetting our ancestors.”

“General…”

The gazes of numerous frontier soldiers all focused on Gongsun Guang.

“Commander Wei, what do you think?”

Gongsun Guang cast his gaze to the Imperial Guard Commander beside him.

After a moment of struggle, the Imperial Guard Commander said, “If the King really committed this betrayal and collusion with the foreign tribes, then he is unworthy of being King.”

“Everyone knows who Zhao Feng is.”

“With his abilities, conquering the city would be a great achievement, and killing the enemy is his merit in war.”

“According to Qin’s military merit system, if not for the sudden events, he wouldn’t have come alone.”

“There are many of our soldiers in the city, and this would be his Qin Army’s achievement in killing the enemy.” Gongsun Guang spoke slowly, showing that he fully believed Zhao Feng’s words.

“What are you planning to do?” The Imperial Guard Commander looked at Gongsun Guang in front of him.

“I was born in Xiangping City, and most of the frontier soldiers under my command were also born in Xiangping and the surrounding cities.”

“If the King of Yan colludes with the foreign tribes, then our homes and families would die because of him, making them our enemies. Such a king, I, Gongsun Guang, will not be loyal to.” Gongsun Guang said coldly.

As these words fell.

The surrounding frontier soldiers all clenched their weapons.

In the next moment.

All their gazes fell on the Imperial Guard Commander and the several hundred Imperial Guards accompanying him.

There was a menacing look.

It seemed as if the frontier soldiers would rise up to attack if the Imperial Guard Commander said anything against Gongsun Guang.

After Zhao Feng spoke of the King of Yan’s collusion with the foreign tribes, the frontier soldiers on the city tower were already unsettled, most of them being people born in the Northern Frontier of Yan. If the foreign tribes invaded south, what would become of their relatives in the Northern Frontier?

Many soldiers were already anxious.

“Collusion with foreign tribes is a great shame for the Huaxia and Various Countries.”

“If such a king exists, then he is unworthy of our loyalty.”

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, the Yan Imperial Guard Commander also spoke, his tone carrying a resolute determination.

In such a situation.

He naturally understood that there was no choice.

Zhao Feng personally revealed it, and all who manned the city tower were the Yan State Border Army; under the anger of the crowd, he had no hope of leaving alive.

Expressing his stance at this moment could not only preserve him but also secure a good future in Qin.

After all, the fall of Yan had already become inevitable.

“Commander Wei, how righteous.”

Gongsun Guang clasped his fist towards the Imperial Guard Commander, then looked at Zhao Feng returning to his camp, without any hesitation in his eyes.

“Transmit my orders, open the city gates.”

“The King of Yan is unjust, colluding with foreign tribes, truly a sinner of the Huaxia through the ages.”

“Such a king is not worth our risking our lives for. As the battle ends today, we can expedite our advance to the Northern Frontier to confront the foreign tribes; otherwise, the Northern Frontier will become an inferno on earth.”

Gongsun Guang shouted loudly.

As soon as these words fell.

The frontier soldiers on and below the city responded loudly: “Obey the General’s orders.”

At this moment.

Every frontier soldier’s heart relaxed.

They were truly worried Gongsun Guang would persist stubbornly.

The King of Yan colluding with foreign tribes would leave them exposed, the border undefended, what about their families?

Now their hearts were deeply concerned.

And at this moment!

The previously tightly closed gates of Ji City opened wide.

Gongsun Guang immediately led his subordinate commanders towards the city gate.

Where Qin Army was stationed.

Upon seeing the suddenly opened gates.

Zhang Han and others were stunned.

“Senior General.”

“What did you say to these Yan Army that made them open the gates?”

“Are they planning to surrender?” Zhang Han asked in surprise.

A slight smile appeared on Zhao Feng’s face: “Not everyone is heartless and treacherous.”

“The King of Yan is unjust, colluding with foreign tribes, an act of forgetting ancestors, destined to bear eternal infamy.”

“But those defending Ji City are all Yan State Border Army, mostly from the Northern Frontier of Yan, with the foreign tribes slaughtering south, perhaps their families have already perished under the foreign tribes’ massacre.”

“They have blood and flesh; how can they ignore?”

“The King of Yan planned to use the foreign tribes against us Qin, yet he shot himself in the foot.”

“Foreign tribes, this is a taboo for Huaxia.”

“Anyone who violates it, regardless of his position as king, must be pulled down.”

Before the battle, Zhao Feng persuaded the Yan Army defending Ji City to surrender, telling them of the King of Yan’s collusion, in hopes of resolving the conflict swiftly.

Betraying the nation, colluding with foreign tribes harming the people.

This would later be called a traitor.

In this era, it’s called a traitor of the nation.

Whoever commits such acts will be despised by all.

Even if he is a king.

“Go.”

“The army march orderly into the city.”

“The King of Yan colludes with the foreign tribes.”

“I will behead him.” Zhao Feng said coldly, urging his horse towards Ji City.

“Senior General.”

“The King of Yan is still a king, let the Great King decide.”

“If you kill him, there will be serious consequences.”

Upon hearing Zhao Feng’s anger, Zhang Han reluctantly advised.

But Zhao Feng didn’t respond.
