In the second year of Yan Wangkang, in mid-March, the war between Yan and Wei under the city of Diqiu began.

Xiong Wan, the king of Chu, and Huang Xie, the king of Chunshen, were invited by the king of Qin Yingji and were about to embark on the journey to Luoyi.

In a van, Xiong Wan and Huang Xie were discussing their trip to Luoyi.

"Chun Shenjun, you said that my Chu State and other countries will ally in Luoyi, do you really want to send troops to Yan State?"

Xiong Wan, the king of Chu, was a little worried, and said to Chun Shenjun Huang Xie with a heavy heart.

"Great King, my Chu State just adapted to the situation in the world and went to Luoyi to make alliances with other countries. As for whether to send troops to Yan Country? Our Chu State can be determined according to the subsequent situation. ”

Chun Shenjun Huang Xie replied to King Xiong of Chu like this.

"Chun Shenjun, are you saying that my Chu State will be allied with other countries to attack Yan on the surface, but is it really decided to send troops to Yan State, and my Chu State will decide according to how things develop?"

King Xiong Wan of Chu came to his senses a little.

Chun Shenjun Huang Xie nodded, and said to Xiong Wan with a smile:

"The king Shengming, the minister advocates so. Your Majesty, you want all the countries in the Central Plains to go to Luoyi to ally against Yan, if I don't go to Chu, I will be rejected by Qin and other countries. ”

"Therefore, my Chu country has to go. However, please forgive the minister's words, among the countries now, those who really want to attack the Yan State are the Qin State and the Wei State. If there is no accident between Zhao and Han, they will definitely go through the same process as our Chu State. ”

"Great King, after my Chu National Alliance, I can put on the posture of sending troops to the Yan Kingdom, depending on the final battle between the countries and the Yan Kingdom. If the Yan State is defeated by the coalition forces of various countries, our Chu State will take advantage of the situation to attack it; If the coalition army does not go well in the attack on Yan, our Chu State will garrison the border of Chu and Yan, and just give an explanation to each country. ”

"In this way, my Chu State can be said to be left and right, and if you advance and retreat appropriately, there will only be benefits, not the slightest harm. King, this is the best policy for my Chu country. ”

After listening to the words of Huang Xie, the king of Chu, he completely understood.

Haha laughed and said, "Chunshenjun, this is very good!" That's how I, the state of Chu, handles it. ”

Yan Guo sent troops to defend the land in less than a month.

The situation in the Central Plains countries is constantly changing, and it can be said that the world is dazzled.

Since Wei Wangyu killed the monarch of Wei Guo, Yan Wangkang repeatedly sent envoys to Wei to negotiate, wanting Wei to withdraw from Wei Land, but Wei Wangyu refused and humiliated.

In this situation, Yan sent Changguo Jun Lejian to lead an army of 100,000 to enter the Weidi with a high-profile attitude, preparing to expel the Wei army and recover the Weidi.

Wei Wangyu did not give in, but sent the general Jin Sui to lead an army of 50,000 to Weidi, together with the 20,000 Wei troops in Weidi, a total of 70,000 troops, to prepare to block the Yan army at Diqiu.

The Yan army was progressing smoothly, and in less than half a month, it had already approached the city of Diqiu.

Just as the Yan State sent troops to defend the land, except for Yan Wang Kang, the kings of the Central Plains were invited by King Yingji of Qin to leave their respective capitals and go to Luoyi to join the alliance.

The purpose of the alliance of the countries in Luoyi this time is very clear, that is, the countries will cut down the swallows in a row.

The intelligence personnel stationed in various countries in the Yan Kingdom used the fastest speed to transmit the news of the alliance of various countries back to Jidu.

The news spread, so that many people in the world who yearn for Yan Country can't help but secretly pinch a cold sweat for Yan Kingdom.

Everyone understands that once the Luoyi alliance of various countries succeeds this time, it can be described as a life-and-death test for Yan State. How does Yan deal with the affairs of various countries? It is already a matter of the future direction of the world.

March 21, the garden of the harem of the Thistle Palace.

Within this garden, there is a small lake.

The water of the lake is clear, reflecting the buildings of the Thistle Palace near the lake.

A spring breeze blows, which is very refreshing. The reflections of these buildings on the lake, such as the cornices and beams, the cloister paintings, fluctuate on the lake surface with the rippling water.

In a pavilion by the lake, Ji Kang looked at the lake with Wangcai, not knowing what he was thinking.

The attendant ordered Wang Cong to stand outside the pavilion, looking up at the back of his own king from time to time, waiting for orders at any time.

At this time, a waiter trotted in and reported to Ji Kangyu:

"Your Majesty, Ju Xin, Su Belly and several other cabinet ministers have come to see the king together, and they are now waiting at the gate of the garden."

Ji Kang turned around and said to the attendant, "Let a few ministers come in." ”

"No."

After the waiter left, Ji Kang stroked Wangcai's head a few times and asked him to take Wangcai away.

The waiter ordered Wang Cong, and asked a few waiters to move a few chairs to the pavilion.

After a while, Ji Kang saw the five ministers of Ji Xin, Su Belly, Su Dai, Jiang Qu, and Rong Yi walking to the pavilion.

"Meet my king." Everyone came to Ji Kang and bowed together.

"A few ministers are exempt from courtesy, so let's sit flat." Ji Kang said.

"Thank you, my king."

Ji Kang sat down on the wooden chair in the pavilion first.

Ju Xin and the other five ministers also sat on the chairs in front of the pavilion.

A few attendants on the side of the pavilion were busy serving tea to a few cabinet ministers, and then retreated.

The prime minister stood up, bowed to Ji Kang and said:

"Your Majesty, the five countries of the Central Plains are now allied in Luoyi, and they are ready to attack our Yan Kingdom. My Yan country is facing this big war, which can be said to be the most difficult battle in the hundreds of years since the founding of our Yan country, and it can be described as a matter of life and death for my Yan country. ”

"At this moment, the fate of my Yan country's country, the foundation of Qianqiu, and even the fate of tens of millions of Yan country's people are on the king's shoulders. Please take care of your body and don't worry too much. ”

Several other ministers also stood up one after another, bowed to Ji Kang and said:

"What the general said is very true, please take care of my body."

Ji Kang waved his hand and said to Ju Xin and several other ministers:

"A few ministers, your thoughts have been received by few people. The widow knows that the royal industry is difficult, but no matter how difficult it is, the widow will go on and will not be decadent. ”

Ju Xin, Su belly and other ministers said in unison: "My Wang Shengming." ”

Ji Kang smiled, pointed to the teacup on the stone table in the pavilion, and said to Ji Xin and the others:

"A few ministers, sit down. Let's take it slowly, this time the countries will be in unison. ”

"No." Everyone responded in unison and sat down.

Ji Kang turned his head again and said to the attendant Ling Wang Cong:

"Let people go to the dining room and send a few new pastries in the dining room for a few ministers to taste and taste."

"No." Wang Cong bowed down and hurriedly sent someone to the dining room.

Now all the ministers of the Yan Kingdom already know that their own king loves food.

The dining room in the palace is also divided into many food items.

Seeing that Ji Kang was so calm now, several ministers such as Ju Xin and Rong Yan began to relax their hearts.

Prime Minister Su Dai said to Ji Kang:

"Your Majesty, this time King Yingji of Qin and other countries will join forces in Luoyi, and even attack my Yan country, it has been prepared for a long time, judging from the current situation, I am afraid that last year, Yingji Lao'er had already agreed with Wei and Han."

The pavilion minister next to Su Dai nodded and said:

"Your Majesty, what Su Xiang said is very true. Today, only the Yan State and the Qin State are known as the two strongest countries in the world. Qin Wang Yingji is planning like this, he regards my Yan Kingdom as his biggest enemy! ”

General Rong Yan was very direct, and scolded:

"Good! Just let them come along. His mother's, my Yan Kingdom is not scared. When the Three Kingdoms of Liaodi attacked us, our situation was much more difficult than now, and it was not that the Three Kingdoms were beaten to the ground, and the first war decided the overall situation of Liaodi. ”

When everyone heard this, including Ji Kang, they all laughed.
