In the thirty-fourth year of King Xian, Duke Wen of Yan died, totaling 790 years, after which it entered the Warring States period. In the forty-sixth year of King Xian, Yan claimed the title of king. In the third year of King Nan, which was the tenth year of King Kuai of Yan, Kuai yielded the state to his chancellor Zizhi to be king. The people of Yan attacked Zizhi and the state was in great turmoil. The King of Qi attacked Yan, captured Zizhi, minced him, and killed King Kuai of Yan. The people of Yan jointly established the heir apparent Ping; this was King Zhao. King Zhao built a terrace and placed a thousand pieces of gold upon it to attract scholars of the realm; Guo Wei was the first to respond. In the twenty-fifth year of the First Emperor of Qin, Qin captured King Xi of Yan and the state was extinguished. Yan spent a total of 106 years in the Warring States period; together with its initial enfeoffment, it totaled 896 years.
