Yan Kingdom, Xuanzheng Palace, King Yan convened the ministers to discuss matters, nearly six years after the war in Yan Kingdom was calm, King Yan Huo Qi had the idea of wanting to start expanding the territory, yes, the whole Central Plains has been calm for six years, all countries have accumulated a lot of energy, it is time to decide again, as the monarch of Yan State who is the leader of the Central Plains Alliance, King Yan wants to be the first monarch to provoke chaos and divide the pattern of the world from the new.

"Zheng Guo is a neighbor of the southwest border of Yan State, it is a small country, and it is adjacent to Zhao and Vietnam, and if it provokes a war in the future, Zheng State is a battleground that must be fought for, and Zheng Hou is weak, Zheng Guo is in decline, and the ministers will discuss it, send troops to Zheng State, annihilate it in one fell swoop, and include it in the territory of Yan State, as a springboard for Yan State's southern expedition in the future!"

Yan Guang, the newly appointed general of the Great Sima, was the first to stand up and express his intentions, and after listening to his words, King Yan was very satisfied.

"As King Gu thought, Zheng Guo is in the gap between Yan, Zhao, Yue, and the three kingdoms, and Zheng Guo is also sandwiched between Qin and Yue, if Yan annexes Zheng State, it can block the normal traffic between Qin and Yue, and Qin State can be completely surrounded by Yan State, and then it is easy to annihilate Qin State."

King Yan said, his eyes exuded a fine light, that was the excitement of facing the upcoming challenge, he was the overlord of the generation who led the Yan Kingdom to replace the Qi State to the top, and he had the opportunity and ability to compete in the Central Plains, he wanted this world to be more exciting.

"It's just that I'm afraid of sending troops to Zheng Guo, the Yue State will make a hindrance from it, Zheng Guo is in a dangerous terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, if you come to save Zheng Guo with Yue Guo, I'm afraid that I will return in vain, what do you think about this."

Yan Wang thought about it and threw out a new question.

"Why does the king consider the Yue Kingdom, Princess Jingyue and the Yue King are married, the relationship between the two countries is close, even if the Yan Kingdom and the Qin State fight first, the Yue Kingdom will not interfere with anything."

Doctor Yu Shi stood up and put forward his own opinions, but King Yan did not speak, or General Sima retorted.

"Yue Guo and Qin Guo are also married, Yue Wang's mother is the eldest princess of Qin Guoyinggong, the younger sister of Qin Gong today, Yan Guo can't get any cheap from Yue Guo in this regard."

"But after all, the country of Yue has experienced a domestic coup d'état that lasted for nearly a year, and there is a lack of available talents, so the country of Yue can't take care of its own affairs, where can it still have the energy to take care of Zheng Guo and Qin Guo."

Hearing this, King Yan looked at the crown prince Huo Chong, Huo Chong had been standing there since the beginning of the discussion, and he hadn't said a word, which was not like his usual appearance.

"Prince, what do you think?"

King Yan asked the prince directly.

Huo Chong seemed to be distracted, and when he heard the voice of King Yan calling him, he raised his head suddenly, his eyes were a little wandering, he was really abnormal today.

"Erchen, Erchen thinks that since he has decided to do it, he shouldn't take it into account so much, after a coup d'état, the national strength of Yue Guo has been greatly reduced, out of self-preservation, even if he wants to obstruct Yan Guo's conquest of Zheng State and Qin State, it is also powerless, Erchen thinks that he can order to send troops."

After Huo Chong finished speaking, General Sima immediately stood up again.

"The minister seconded the proposal, Zheng Guoguo's small soldiers are weak, even if the steep terrain is divided, it is difficult to confront the soldiers of Yan State, the minister will discuss it, and the next letter will immediately send troops to Zheng Guo!"

Yan Guangyi's words were righteous, and his low and rough voice echoed in the hall, King Yan's eyes swept over every minister in the audience, and finally his gaze stopped on the prince, Huo Chong looked very wrong today, he understood his son..."Accurate!" Doctor Shang, you will draft the letter of state on the same day, and declare war on Zheng Guo three days later. ”

King Yan made a decisive decision.

"The king, who should be the commander of the army?"

Prime Minister Qu Chi stood up and asked.

"The great Sima general Yan Guang is the commander, and the prince is ......"

Speaking of this, King Yan paused for a moment and continued, "Prince Huo Chong is the deputy marshal. ”

"No!"

The two people who were named responded, but Qu Chi was not over yet.

"The minister thinks that the second prince Huo Xun is also a good candidate, and he has also made great achievements in fighting the Huns since he was a child, and he still gave the title of Marquis of Yanyi by the Great King."

"That's it, let's disperse..."

The conversation broke up unhappily, King Yan didn't give any more answers, got up and left the hall, Qu Chi was there, his eyes were firmly fixed on the hand he was still holding, Huo Chong slowly turned his head to look at Qu Chi after King Yan left, isn't he also his teacher?

Qu Chi felt that there was a gaze on him, he looked back, Huo Chong's eyes met him, smiled at him and bowed his head gently, and then left without saying a word.
