燕文公 / Duke Wen of Yan

燕文公 / Duke Wen of Yan appears in 《资治通鉴·周纪》29丨苏秦励志爽文:知识改变命运 through a compact succession notice: he dies, and 燕易王 succeeds.

《资治通鉴·周纪》30丨苏秦的“开挂”人生 gives him a more active role inside 苏秦’s biographical sequence. Su Qin persuades Yan Wen Gong that 燕国’s quiet survival depends on 赵国 acting as a geographic shield against 秦国. Yan Wen Gong accepts the argument, funds Su Qin, and sends him toward Zhao to build relations.

The page is source-scoped and records the annalistic handoff rather than a full biography. Its main wiki function is to keep the Yan branch of the 333 BCE notice cluster explicit.
