King Yan looked at the chestnut belly and Rong Worm like this, and he was also a little speechless in his heart.

Why is it so useless!

Although it was said that the high-level officials of the Yan State began to discuss this matter after the arrival of the envoys of the Qin State, before that, the dissatisfaction of the Yan King with the Zhao State was very serious.

This Yan Wang is actually a very ambitious person.

It was precisely because of his ambition that he secretly united with Gongsun Cao and killed the former monarch of Yan State, King Yan Hui, thus gaining the opportunity to ascend the throne for himself.

After ascending to the throne, King Yan felt that his time had come to make a big difference.

So in the past few years, he not only repeatedly sent troops to attack Donghu in the north, but even fought several battles with the Jizi Korea, which was originally vassal of the Yan State but betrayed the Yan State after the accession of the Yan King to the throne, and took a lot of territory from the Jizi Korea, so that the territory of the Yan State began to expand to the Korean Peninsula.

According to King Yan's previous plan, he planned to gradually destroy Jizi Korea in a few years, and then use the Great Wall of Yan as an advance base to continue to attack Donghu and other nomads to the north, adding more land and population to the Yan Kingdom, so as to lay the foundation for the Yan Kingdom to go south to compete for hegemony.

But all this was thwarted with the intervention of Zhao State.

Five years ago, Tian Dan was ordered by Zhao Weihou to lead the combined forces of Qi and Zhao to attack Yan.

Fortunately, he received timely help from the Western overlord Qin State, otherwise, the two monarchs and ministers of King Yan and Gongsun Cao would probably end up with a dead country and a ruined country.

But even so, this war still hurt the vitality of Yan State, so that in the next few years, Yan State has been recuperating and unable to conquer foreign countries, and it is only now that it has slowly recovered a little vitality.

But with the passage of the past few years, it is not only Yan Guo who has recovered, but also the original and half-crippled Jizi North Korea and Donghu by Yan Guo.

According to the latest information, in order to deal with the threat of Yan, it seems that Jizi Joseon and Donghu have begun to show signs of forming an alliance and joining forces...

What made King Yan even more unhappy was that due to the power of the army of Zhao, King Yan had to abolish his queen at that time and marry the princess of Zhao who was only sixteen years old at the time as Queen Yan.

You must know that King Yan has a lot of feelings for his predecessor Empress Yan, and An, the son born to King Yan by the former Empress Yan, is also the best candidate for King Yan to inherit the unification in his heart.

But with the existence of this new Empress Yan from Zhao State, King Yan has not only been able to swallow his anger and abolish the queen, but even under the pressure of Zhao State, he cannot directly establish Gongzi An as the crown prince.

When the king of a country reaches this point, it can be said that he is quite a wretch.

There is a saying that "a weak country has no diplomacy". Yan Guo is obviously not too weak now, at least one of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, King Yan Zhao once briefly became a hegemon-level power, but now let alone diplomacy, even internal affairs have been interfered by Zhao State, and he can't decide for himself to set up a prince, the annoyance and resentment in King Yan's heart can be imagined.

This is why King Yan is bent on taking this opportunity to attack Zhao.

In the eyes of this King of Yan, as long as he echoes the east and west of the Qin State to break the Zhao State, and then win the five northern counties of the Zhao State and the hometown of Zhongshan, and then swallow the Jizi Joseon and Donghu and other Zhuyidi, then the Yan State will be able to quickly rise to become the Northern Heavenly Tyrant of the Warring States and officially have the strength to compete in the world.

Therefore, King Yan thinks that this attack on Zhao is imperative!

But before that, King Yan felt that it was necessary to convince himself that he was in front of him.

After all, although Le Jian's father Le Yi is dead, Le Yi still has a lot of old troops in the Yan Kingdom, and the Le family has a lot of influence in the Yan Army, and it is an object that needs to be united.

So King Yan coughed and said, "Chang Guojun, is it really not feasible to kill Zhao?" ”

Le Jian's face was solemn, and he said to King Yan very solemnly: "Zhao, the country of Sida, its people are accustomed to soldiers, and in the opinion of ministers, they must not fight." It would be a good policy to take advantage of this opportunity to either go east out of North Korea or attack Donghu in the north. ”

As one of the important ministers of the Yan Kingdom, Le Jian certainly knows some about the strategies and plans in King Yan's heart.

In view of the fact that Lejian itself now belongs to the courtiers of Yan State, Lejian is actually not opposed to Yan Guo going south.

However, in Lejian's view, it is now necessary to first knock down the two relatively easy places to annex North Korea and Donghu, and then find a way to solve the problem of going south, which is the right way.

And in terms of going south, Lejian's position is also different from that of King Yan.

Le Jian paused for a moment and continued: "In the opinion of the ministers, my Yan Kingdom wants to go south, and it is better to destroy Zhao than to destroy Qi. If Zhao is destroyed, then my Yan Kingdom will face Qiang Qin, which is definitely not the best policy. If even Zhao annihilates Qi, then firstly, my Yan State can go south to fight for hegemony, and secondly, there is also Zhao State for my Yan State to block the eastward advance of Qin, isn't this a strategy for both worlds? I hope the king thinks twice. ”

Le Jian's two words clearly stated the position of the young Chang Guojun. To put it simply, it is to let Qin and Zhao consume each other, and then the Yan State takes the opportunity to expand in other directions, and finally finds a way to solve the Qin State and the Zhao State.

In fact, this set of strategies was not thought up by Le Jian himself, but the national policy of Yan during the reign of King Yan Zhao.

And this strategy was almost successful under the planning of Le Yi, the father of Le Jian twenty-five years ago, but it is a pity that King Yan Zhao died at too bad time, and the heir King Yan Hui was too jealous of Le Yi and fell into Tian Dan's discordant plan, which led to the collapse of the plan to destroy Qi at the last moment.

This stupid mistake made by King Yan Hui not only directly ended the short era of overlord of Yan Kingdom, but also made Yan Kingdom waste a full twenty-five years!

This is the danger of a faint king to the country.

King Yan listened to Lejian's words, and subconsciously frowned.

To be honest, these words of the music room are not unreasonable, and they can indeed be regarded as a feasible strategy.

But King Yan doesn't like this strategy from the bottom of his heart, because the most important thing in Lejian's strategy is that it must be in alliance with Zhao State, and it is a very close alliance.

In King Yan's opinion, Zhao Guo has been riding on Yan Guo's head to all these years, and now he is still letting Yan Guo form an alliance with Zhao Guo, and let Yan Wang recognize Zhao Wangdan, who is a whole generation younger than Yan Wang, as his eldest brother?

!

Yan is the two neighboring countries of Qi and Zhao, so if Yan wants to go south to dominate the Central Plains, it will either destroy Zhao or Qi, and there can be no third way.

Le Jian felt that it was better to destroy Qi, but in the heart of King Yan, he felt that it was better to destroy Zhao!

King Yan thought for a while, and then said slowly: "King Changguo, if the widow attacks Zhao with twice as many troops, can it be better?" ”

Le Jian shook his head resolutely: "No." ”

King Yan frowned, and then said, "If the widow attacks Zhao with three times the number of troops, can it be victorious?" ”

Rakuma thought for a moment and said, "It's embarrassing." ”

King Yan's brows furrowed even deeper, and after a long time, he said word by word: "What if the widow attacks Zhao with four times the number of troops? ”

Four times, that is, 200,000 troops, this is already the number of all the standing armies of the Yan Kingdom.

Le Jian also hesitated for a long time when he heard this, and finally said: "In the opinion of the minister, the victory or defeat should be divided into five or five."

When King Yan heard Lejian's words, he only felt a wave of anger go straight to his heart, and finally couldn't help but reach out and slap the table in front of him fiercely, making a loud bang, followed by a loud cry.

"Le Room! How can you despise the widowed Yan Kingdom so much! ”

King Yan's sudden anger startled everyone in the hall, and Le Jian was no exception, and after coming back to his senses, Le Jian hurriedly explained: "King, the minister didn't mean this, but the minister..."

"Enough!" King Yan snorted heavily, obviously no longer having the patience to listen to Lejian.

I saw King Yan's eyes sweeping over the audience like electricity, and he said in a deep voice: "The decision has been made, with Gao Yangjun as the main and Li Qing as the auxiliary, and the army will attack Zhao in seven days!" ”

Speaking of this, King Yan suddenly glanced deeply at Le Jian, and said in a murderous tone: "If anyone dares to leak information to the Zhao State, the widow will punish his three clans!" ”

King Yan's words were loud and echoed in the hall.

At this moment, Sun Cao, the prime minister of Yan State, who had been silent, suddenly saluted King Yan and said tremblingly: "No." ”

This has clearly stated Gongsun Cao's position.

When King Yan and Gongsun Cao spoke together, this order was the final decision in the Yan Kingdom, and it was impossible for anyone to oppose it.

Le Jian sighed secretly in his heart, but he still had to bow his head and salute with the other important ministers of Zhao State, and said in unison: "No." ”

After the resolution of Lian Qin's attack on Zhao was released, the monarchs and ministers of the Yan State present discussed some details, and then the meeting ended.

When the ministers dispersed, a eunuch with gray temples suddenly appeared beside King Yan and whispered in King Yan's ear: "Great King, when the envoy of the Zhao Kingdom met with the queen..."

King Yan listened to this, his brows gradually furrowed, and the anger on his face became more and more vigorous, and finally he couldn't help but snort coldly, and said, "This Jian person is so bold!" ”

The eunuch said, "King, how should this matter be handled?" ”

King Yan waved his hand and sneered, "Don't bother! Just keep an eye on this Jian person. ”

In King Yan's opinion, as long as the Zhao State is destroyed, it is time for this Empress Yan, who married from the Zhao State, to be abolished.

At that time, even if she has more thoughts, what is the use?
