The narrative shifts to memories from 10 years ago, depicting the Qin army's assault on Yan with 300,000 troops under General Wang Jian. General Da Tiechui was ordered by Yan Yi to defend the Mountain Valley border using only 50,000 soldiers. As Da Tiechui's forces faced imminent destruction, Yan Yi declined to provide reinforcements, effectively condemning them to defeat. Instead of aiding his troops, Yan Yi attempted to negotiate a trade involving the Prince's life to ensure his own survival during the crisis.
