The capital of Yan Kingdom, Wuyang City.

The young Yan State Xiangbang walked all the way, and countless guards and maids bowed to him, but this Xiangbang, who had always been kind, turned a blind eye today, and the expression on his face looked quite solemn.

When Le Jian walked to the main hall, the young Empress Dowager Yan was already waiting for him there.

"Chen Le has seen the Queen Mother!" Lejian respectfully saluted the Queen Mother.

"Chang Guojun, please take a seat." Empress Dowager Yan's cold voice came into the ears of the music room.

After Le Jian sat down, Empress Dowager Yan spoke: "How is the matter in Liaodong?" ”

Since taking power, the first thing that Empress Dowager Yan and Le Jian have to do is to eliminate Rong Yi and all the henchmen of the original Yan Wang'an, and not give them any chance to make a comeback.

After this year, the current Yan Kingdom can be said to be completely controlled by the Empress Dowager Yan and the people of the Lejian faction.

But there are always exceptions to everything, half a month ago, the Taishou of Liaodong County of Yan State suddenly rebelled and wanted to crusade against Le Jian and Empress Dowager Yan.

This is what Empress Dowager Yan asked.

Lejian replied: "Back to the Queen Mother, the minister has ordered someone to lead the army to quell the rebellion, and Liaodong should return to the hands of my Great Yan Kingdom in less than half a month." ”

Empress Dowager Yan hummed softly and said, "Is there anyone instigating behind your back?" ”

Lejian nodded and said, "According to some reports, the minister thinks that Donghu and Jizi Korea may be suspected of fanning the flames. ”

The young Empress Dowager Yan snorted, and a sinister aura flashed in her phoenix eyes: "Donghu, Jizi North Korea?" What a daring! Aren't they afraid that the Great Yan Kingdom will send troops to fight? ”

Lejian said: "If the Queen Mother allows, the minister is willing to personally lead the troops to Donghu and Jizi Korea!" ”

Empress Dowager Yan was silent for a moment, and shook her head gently: "No, now that the country is unstable, how can you attack easily?" ”

Le Jian thought for a while and said: "Please rest assured, the Queen Mother will not be able to lead the army in three years at most, so that Donghu and Jizi Korea will know the prestige of the Great Yan Kingdom!" ”

Although it is said that Yan has always been on the border of China, it is also one of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States period anyway, and it is obviously better than Donghu and Jizi Joseon, so Lejian really didn't take these two enemies too seriously.

The topic ended, and the hall fell silent for a while.

After a while, Lejian, who was secretly wondering in his heart, quietly raised his head, but happened to meet a pair of extremely gentle eyes.

Lejian's heart jumped, and he hurriedly lowered his head, and his heart beat violently for some reason.

After another moment, Empress Yan's cold voice sounded again: "Earlier today, an envoy from the Qin State entered the palace to ask for a meeting. ”

Le Jian took a deep breath and raised his head again, only to find that Empress Dowager Yan's expression was extremely dignified, and her eyes were full of majesty, which was completely like the Empress Dowager's style towards her courtiers.

Did you just read it wrong? Le Jian secretly wondered in his heart, and said: "Then the envoy of the Qin State is here to talk about forming an alliance to attack Zhao?" ”

Empress Dowager Yan said lightly: "Exactly." With the meaning of Chang Guojun, what should I do? ”

Although it is nominally the regent of the Empress Dowager Yan, in fact, most of the things in the Yan Kingdom today are actually decided by the Xiangbang of Lejian.

This is actually a very normal thing, after all, this Empress Dowager Yan is not even thirty years old this year, and she is a daughter, she has never been exposed to such a thing as governing the country since she was a child, and the only person she can trust is Lejian.

Therefore, if Lejian does not become the minister of Yan Kingdom, it will be a strange thing.

After listening to Empress Dowager Yan's words, Le Jian thought for a while and said, "Back to the Empress Dowager, in the opinion of the minister, this matter of attacking Zhao is not feasible for the time being. ”

Empress Dowager Yan snorted, and suddenly spoke again: "In your opinion, this attack on Zhao must be done sooner or later?" ”

Le Jian's heart suddenly hesitated, because he knew very well the relationship between Empress Yan and that King Zhao.

But Le Jian still stubbornly spoke: "Back to the Queen Mother, if Zhao Guo loses this battle, it will also be good news for Yan Guo." ”

Empress Dowager Yan asked, "How do you say this?" ”

Lejian replied: "Queen Mother, now Zhao is the most powerful country in the world, so with strong neighbors on the side, how can Yan Guo be worry-free?" Only by weakening this Zhao State can it be in the interests of the Yan State. ”

Empress Dowager Yan snorted and said, "But you should know that the throne of the Great King was obtained by the help of King Zhao's troops." If the old woman ordered Yan Guo to take advantage of the danger of Zhao State to attack Zhao, then how should the people of the world view Yan Guo, wouldn't they want to give the old woman and the king a hat of untrustworthiness and unrighteousness? ”

Le Jian gritted his teeth and said: "The Queen Mother said this, and I don't dare to agree with it. Throughout the present world, there is no faith in what the nations are doing, but only interests. The reason why Zhao and Qi supported the king and the queen mother was only because it was in the interests of both countries. Therefore, the minister asked the queen mother to put the interests of Yan Kingdom first and give up her personal feelings. ”

Empress Dowager Yan glanced at Le Jian deeply, and said after a while: "If the old woman is not mistaken, there is also a branch of the Le clan in the Zhao State, if he wants to see him on the battlefield with Le, what should he do?" ”

Le Ma Zhengse said: "Be your own master!" ”

The hall fell silent again.

Through the contact of these days, Le Jian knows that the queen mother is actually a person who misses the old love, and whoever treats her well, she will give this person a corresponding return.

Now the king of Zhao and the Empress Dowager Yan were born to the same mother, with compatriot affection, and then there is the kindness of sending troops to support Gongzi Ke, these two feelings are added to it, and it is actually quite difficult to persuade the Empress Dowager Yan to put the interests of the country first instead of standing on the side of Zhao Guo.

After a long time, Empress Dowager Yan sighed softly and said, "Since this is the case, then why don't you immediately send troops to attack Zhao?" ”

As soon as he heard these words, Lejian's heart was relieved.

Obviously, Empress Dowager Yan has accepted Lejian's statement.

So Le Jian hurriedly said: "Back to the Queen Mother, the reason why I didn't immediately send troops to attack Zhao State was actually because the minister thought that sending troops to Zhao State at this moment might not have a chance of winning." ”

"What?" Empress Yan's beautiful pair wrinkled slightly: "Could it be that the Yan Kingdom has no soldiers to fight?" ”

Le Jian said: "That's not the case, there are still 150,000 soldiers in the Yan Kingdom today. ”

Empress Yan said: "Then how many soldiers does Zhao have to deal with?" ”

Lejian said: "At most, it's not more than 50,000." ”

Empress Yan frowned and said, "150,000 against 50,000, you can't win, but you may fail?" ”

Lejian said: "Exactly. ”

Queen Yan: "...... If so, then when should troops be sent to attack Zhao? ”

Le Jian said: "When Handan falls, it will be the time for the Great Yan Kingdom to send troops. ”

Yan Hou said: "If Handan doesn't fall, what should it do?" ”

Lejian said: "Wait! ”

Empress Yan said: "If Zhao Guo wins this battle, what should it do? ”

Le Jian said: "You can send troops south to attack Qi and recapture the two hundred miles of land that was previously cut in Qi State!" ”

Empress Yan thought for a moment and said, "So, in fact, no matter whether this war is won by Zhao or lost, it is possible for Yan to profit from it?" ”

Rakuma nodded affirmatively: "Exactly!" ”

Empress Dowager Yan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Since this is the case, then it will be as Chang Guojun said." ”

A moment later, as Rakuma stood outside the main hall and watched the sunlight pouring down from his head, he suddenly remembered the look he had just seen.

I have to say, it is indeed a very touching look.

"Is it really because I'm too busy these days that I'm hallucinating?"

Rakuma shook his head and walked towards the steps in front of him.
