Chapter 200: Eastern Qi and Northern Yan

The night wind rises suddenly, and the moon rises tomorrow. Just tonight, two wars that will have a far-reaching impact on the general situation of the world are destined to happen. Although the locations where they took place were thousands of miles apart, the respective leaders of the two wars seemed to have a clear mind, and they both completed their deployment before dark, and the war was about to break out.

The land of Yan is full of winds, and it is the time when people are panicking. For no other reason, almost no one was spared from the war. In just a few days, most of the country was involved.

The enemy army came from the state of Zhao. If it weren't for the continuous emergency war reports, everyone from King Yan and below would never have believed that the revenge of the Zhao people would come so violently.

The Zhao army had not yet finished seizing a hundred miles of land near Yanling Pass, and after successfully defeating and completely destroying the invading Hu cavalry, they began to launch a large-scale attack on the Yan State in a jaw-dropping manner. By the time King Yan, who was in Jicheng, finally learned the whole situation, the cavalry vanguard of Zhao State had already advanced to the vicinity of Bauhinia Pass, which was three hundred miles away.

King Yan's hand holding the emergency military situation for eight hundred miles was almost trembling, he stood on the main hall, looking at the ministers and generals below who did not dare to come out with a murderous face, and after a long time, he finally couldn't hold back the indignation in his chest, and roared in a hoarse tone.

"What's going on? Can anyone tell me what's going on...... In just a few days, hundreds of miles of land were lost, and more than ten defeats were lost in succession! Could it be that the army of the Great Yan Kingdom is all wine bags and rice bags? Hum! ”

Don't look at King Yan's old age, but back then, he was also the master of killing people without blinking. Although he is lazy and usually turns a blind eye to the power struggle between ministers, he never hesitates to kill people with a knife when he really threatens his royal rule.

King Yan is angry, which is not trivial. Everyone knows that if the answer is wrong at this time, once you are angry, you are likely to fall to the ground. So everyone stared at each other, bowed their heads silently, and was cautious, and no one took the initiative to answer.

"What's wrong? Pretending to be deaf and dumb one by one, can they defeat Zhao Jun?! Prime Minister, your Prime Minister Wang Tingguozheng, didn't you notice the movements of Zhao Guoren in advance? ”

I saw that everyone in the hall lowered their heads, looking gray-faced. King Yan's anger is even more useless. His eyes were firmly fixed on the prime minister standing at the front, and since others didn't speak, he couldn't escape.

The prime minister's face was full of sorrow, so he had no choice but to raise his head, bow down, and then replied: "King Rongyu, the attack launched by the Zhao army was too sudden. Moreover, their offensive is very sharp. Although the officers and men of our army tried their best, they still couldn't resist it! ”

"When did the army of the Zhao Kingdom become so powerful? When Chu Lie was still there, the princes easily did not dare to provoke him, and it was understandable...... But he's dead now! Could it be that his son is more powerful than him? ”

Although since the last defeat, based on the news obtained from all sides, the Yan royal court has realized that the young King Zhao is not an ordinary person, but if he has shown a sharp edge far beyond his Lao Tzu in such a short period of time, it is still unbelievable after all.

"Chu Jiangmian is really powerful! There is no doubt about this, my lord. Since he ascended to the throne, everything he has done proves that this person is better than the blue, which is really a headache! The failure of the previous attack on Zhao by the Five Kingdoms has already laid the root of the curse. The enmity between Yan and Zhao has been deep...... Alas! I'm afraid it's easy to dissolve. ”

The prime minister sighed, with a look of embarrassment on his face. Many other ministers nodded in agreement. For many years, whether in terms of comprehensive national strength or military strength, Yan was much weaker than Zhao. The last time Yan followed Qin to attack Zhao, many people were extremely disapproves. However, King Yan was stubborn and self-serving, driven by ambition, and finally made the wrong choice. And the consequences are now known. Stealing chickens and rice is not successful, not only the defeated army lost land, but even the original prince Qian died in the army. Fortunately, King Yan still has two sons, and he has changed the crown prince Dan, which finally calmed the hearts of the people and did not cut off the inheritance of the Sheji kingship.

"Then according to what you say, there is no way to stop Zhao Jun? Do you want this king to wash his neck and wait for his head to be cut off? Hehe! ”

King Yan laughed angrily. His mouth made a crumbling sound, which made people feel chills in his body. The prime minister involuntarily shrunk his neck, and hurriedly spoke again.

"The king said this, and the ministers were ashamed! Since the emergency report from the front arrived, we have mobilized the nearby army overnight and urgently headed to Bauhinia Pass, striving to stop the Zhao army's edge there and fight to the death! ”

King Yan's face softened slightly, and he glanced at Prince Dan who was standing beside him. The son born to this favorite concubine has been thinking with his eyebrows down and not speaking. After perceiving his father's gaze, he hurriedly stepped forward, and then said the words of the state minister.

"After Erchen received the military information last night, he was very anxious. But he didn't dare to disturb his father's rest casually, and after discussing with the minister of state and several ministers, he had already sent the army generals to nearby counties to mobilize people...... The Zhao army is fierce, and there must be no mistakes in Bauhinia Pass. Otherwise, once it is lost, Jicheng will be very dangerous. ”

Hearing Prince Dan's words, a trace of gloom flashed in King Yan's eyes, but it disappeared immediately, and no one noticed. He patted Prince Dan's shoulder with his hand, and said with relief in his tone.

"Well done! Lived up to my expectations of you. In that case, I'll leave this matter to you. With this sword in hand, he immediately set off and went to the front line of Bauhinia Pass...... When did you kill Zhao Jun, and when did you come back! ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers looked at each other, and many people were secretly suspicious in their hearts. And Prince Dan's face changed several times. However, he quickly regained his composure, bowed to the ground, and then raised his hands high and respectfully took the sword of King Yan.

"Son-in-law! If you don't break the enemy's army, you won't come back. ”

"Very well, take your people, let's go."

After the prince saluted, he got up and walked away with his sword in his hand. King Yan looked at his back coldly and walked out of the hall, and then waved his robe sleeves and went back to the harem by himself. The ministers whispered a few words, and then scattered as well.

Prime Minister Yan and several important ministers glanced at each other, and then tacitly came together. Soon after, they met the prince Dan, who had not yet left the city.

"Your Highness, don't go there lightly! In front of the two armies, it is not a child's play, once there is a ...... It's too late to regret it! ”

The prime minister grabbed his horse's head, and the other ministers also gathered around him and dissuaded him. It turned out that Prince Dan married the daughter of Yan Guoxiang earlier, but there was a friendship between them and a son-in-law, perhaps it was for this reason that the old and sophisticated minister of the country cared about him extraordinarily.

"How can you disobey the decree of your father? What's more, I also wanted to go to the battlefield to experience it first-hand to increase my prestige in the army! ”

Prince Dan was blunt. These ministers, headed by the prime minister, are all his absolute supporters. This was what he really thought, and there was nothing to hide from them. Unexpectedly, the worried people all shook their heads together, resolutely disagreeing with his approach.

"Your Highness, have you forgotten how Prince Qian died? The son of a daughter can't sit down. As the heir to the throne, how can he casually go to the front? Even if the battle is won, it will not increase much prestige. And if you lose, you will have to worry about your life! ”

"Yes! Your Highness, the king sent you out so casually, what did he think in his heart...... Who would have guessed?! ”

"The king...... Alas! We, as courtiers, should not speculate. But what he did really made the ministers worry about His Highness! ”

Listening to the whispers of these ministers beside him, Prince Dan silently clenched the long sword. What these ministers could have thought of, could he not have thought of? He seemed to glance around casually, surrounded by confidants. The young heir to the throne had waited too long, and he didn't want to wait any longer.

"I know what you say. My father's suspicion has always been deep. Some time ago, I did several things that made him very unhappy. And this time he privately mobilized his troops to meet the enemy, which must have made him very angry in his heart...... Hehe! What I do is for the safety of the people and the people of Yan Kingdom, and I am not selfish, can you understand? ”

Hearing the meaning in his tone, these ministers, who had secretly supported him for a long time, showed an excited look on their faces. This Prince Dan is finally about to show his edge, in this case, what else do they have to worry about!

So, a conspiracy began quietly from this moment. It's just that whether it is the king of Yan who has the power or the person who wants to betray him, he didn't expect that just when the king of Jicheng was about to start a bloody storm, in the direction of Bauhinia Pass, on the battlefield of Yan and Zhao's armies, an earth-shattering battle had begun fiercely.

The 10,000 cavalry led by Zhao Guohu's general Murong Licheng were like a sharp arrow, directly stabbing towards the Bauhinia Pass. His 10,000 Tiger Army cavalry and the 20,000 Zhao Army infantry led by Li Mu personally cooperated all the way to fight, which was simply seamless, and no Guancheng could stop it.

From Yanling Pass to Bauhinia Pass, the middle radius of more than 600 miles has been taken from the hands of the Yan army, and the follow-up men and horses are coming one after another, turning the territory they have conquered into the land of Zhao.

It was a truly great victory. Just tonight, Murong Licheng's chief lance pointed out that the battlefield had been drawn for the Bauhinia Guan Yan army. And this is about to become a cemetery for them.
