Yue Yi
Yue Yi (}}), enfeoffed as
Lord of Changguo (), was a Chinese military general. He was a prominent military leader of the
State of Yan during the
Warring States period of ancient China. He was the son of the prime minister of the state of
Zhongshan, but when Zhongshan was destroyed by
King Wuling of Zhao, he was forced to wander from country to country. His talents were recognized by King Zhao of Yan, and he was made a minister. He served with great skill and helped forge alliances with the states of
Zhao,
Wei,
Chu,
Han and
Qin against the threat posed by
Qi. He led the allied armies and crushed the Qi forces. The cruel King of Qi was driven away, and, except for two cities, the entire territory of Qi was brought under control. Soon thereafter, King Zhao of Yan suddenly died. Due to the scheming of
Tian Dan of Qi, King Hui of Yan mistrusted him and he fled to the state of Zhao, where he was enfeoffed as
Lord of Wangzhu (). His son
Yue Jian (樂間) inherited his title Lord of Changguo in Yan.
