Chapter 212: The Majesty of the Yan State Pro-Zhao Faction (Fourth Update)
King Yan was not in a good mood, which could be seen from the facial muscles on his mustache that kept trembling slightly.
As the only vassal state surnamed Ji among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, King Yan has never taken the other six kingdoms into account.
After all, in terms of legitimacy, Yan Guo is the "royal family" of the Eight Classics, and the other Zhao family, Tian family, and Xiong family are all a group of rebels!
Even the so-called monarchs surnamed Ji in the Wei State of Korea are just some usurpers and rebels!
In general, in a word, in this dirty world, only our Lang Da Yan country is the only clear stream, a symbol of justice, and it will also set things right, let the world return to Yan country, and let the light of the surname Ji return to this land.
King Yan's ambition, or ambition, is very big.
For this ambition, the king of Yan repeatedly sent troops to conquer Donghu and Jizi Korea, expanding the power of Yan to the Liaodong Peninsula.
But the glory of the foreign war can't cover up the gloom of the internal war, not long ago, in a war that the king of Yan felt was sure to win, the Yan country actually lost!
The deputy general of the Yan army, Li Bei, was almost wiped out by the Zhao army with a surprise attack when his troops were far superior to the Zhao army, and even Li Bei himself was taken prisoner.
Seriously, if it weren't for Chestnut being a prisoner, then the enraged King Yan would definitely be the first to cut off his head.
It was precisely because of this fiasco and the ravages of the Winter Tiger that the Yan Kingdom suffered extremely heavy losses in this campaign, with an army of 200,000 when it went out, but when it returned home, there were less than 110,000 people left.
After paying such a big price, what Yan Guo gained was only a small piece of land like Wuyuan City.
It's like taking a hundred dollars to go out to buy something, only to buy a glass of Coke, and it's especially a medium cup...
It's a completely loss-making business.
What made King Yan even more aggrieved was that because of so much loss, King Yan had to take the initiative to ask for peace with the people of Zhao.
For a moment, King Yan really wanted to simply press the whole country directly and fight with the people of Zhao Guoren.
But such a thought only turned in the mind of this Yan King for a moment and disappeared.
Because King Yan knew very well in his heart that even if Yan Guo pressed the whole country, he would not be able to kill Zhao State.
Yan Guo is still the weak chicken Yan country, but Zhao Guo is no longer the Zhao country of the past.
Today's Zhao State occupies most of the Jin Kingdom's hometown, and it is a super power that is called the overlord of the world along with the Qin State.
If you can't beat it, you have to admit it, there's no way to do it.
ยทยทยท
These thoughts in his mind made the expression on King Yan's face more and more gloomy, and after most of the day, the monarch of Yan State spoke with this gloomy expression: "What do you think of the border matter?" โ
What's going on at the border?
Just this morning, King Yan received a report from the Yan-Zhao border that a Zhao army of about 1,000 people raided a stronghold of the Yan army on the border, and slaughtered dozens of Yan soldiers guarding this stronghold.
For this matter, King Yan convened this meeting.
In front of King Yan is a vote of important ministers of the Yan State, and the only one missing is the chestnut belly who was captured by the Zhao people - of course, if he can, the king of Yan hopes that the fool of the chestnut belly will never come back, and he will die in the Zhao country.
The ministers of Yan State present listened to King Yan's chilling words, and first subconsciously set their eyes on Gongsun Cao, the prime minister of Yan State.
Heavenly Elder Sun Cao is the second, this is the truth of Yan Kingdom.
However, the gray-haired Gongsun Cao sat there all the time, with a pair of small eyes half-open and half-closed, and it was not even clear whether he was asleep or awake.
Everyone was helpless, so they had to set their eyes on Gao Yang Jun Rong Worm.
Rong Worm was the main general of the last Yan army, but because it was the deputy general Chestnut who defeated the battle, and it was also the order of King Yan to let Rong Worm Chestnut Belly divide the troops into two ways, so Rong Worm was not punished, but was reprimanded by King Yan a few words without pain.
Rong Yan barely hesitated before he spoke: "King, this is a provocation by Zhao Guo!" The king cannot be underestimated, he must send a large army to recruit Zhao State, revitalize the prestige of Yan State, and make Zhao Wang Dan apologize! โ
As soon as Rong Yan's words fell, a sneer that could not be seen could be heard in the hall.
Rong Yan was furious in his heart, and turned his head to look at the person who laughed: "Chang Guojun! What do you mean by that? โ
Le Yi's son, Changguo Jun Lejian's young face with a smile that could not be more obvious: "Gao Yangjun, I am not laughing at others, but laughing at your stupidity!" โ
This sentence can be said to be a naked slap in the face.
Rong Yan's anger was not trivial, he slapped the table in front of him and stood up directly, his eyes wide and shouted towards Lejian: "Lejian child, are you tired of being alive?" โ
Le Jian sneered, and couldn't help but say that he also pushed the case: "Rong Lao'er, I'm still afraid that you won't succeed?" โ
The two glared angrily, and they looked like they were about to fight if they didn't agree.
"Enough!" A loud shout sounded from King Yan's mouth: "You and the others are both widows and important ministers, what kind of system is this posture? Sit down for the widows! โ
Le Jian and Rong Yan both snorted heavily when they heard this, and then sat down separately and turned their heads, but they didn't look at each other anymore.
King Yan looked at the scene in front of him, and he also had a headache in his heart.
Since the defeat of Rong Yan, the power of the pro-Zhao faction of Yan State has begun to grow rapidly, and the pro-Qin faction that originally advocated Lian Qin to destroy Zhao has been greatly hit, so now the two factions are on par in the political arena of Yan State, and the conflict is becoming increasingly fierce.
Gao Yang Jun Rong and Chang Guo Jun Le are the respective leaders of the pro-Qin faction and the pro-Zhao faction, and the quarrel between the two is not once or twice in front of King Yan.
King Yan pressed the irritability in his heart and said to Lejian: "Chang Guojun, what is your opinion?" โ
Le Jian first glanced at Rong Yi with a contemptuous gaze, and when he saw that the other party ignored him, he turned his head to King Yan and said: "Back to the king, the reason why the minister spoke out is not to offend the king, but because someone's remarks are too stupid!" Let's ask if someone who is as strong as Qin cannot defeat the Zhao army in Changping, how can the Yan State be the Zhao army? Previously, the Zhao army was only a partial division and broke the belly in Dai County, if Zhao Wang Dan raised the army of the country to the north, then Yan will be destroyed in the hands of Zhao! โ
Rong Yan couldn't help but shout: "It's nonsense! If Zhao attacked Yan, how could Qin State sit idly by? โ
Le Jian immediately retorted: "Rong Yan, you have forgotten that the two counties in the southeast of Qin are still in the hands of the Chu State!" Now Qin Wangji is not attacking Chu, but is afraid of Zhao Guo's aid to Chuer. If Zhao attacks Yan, wouldn't Qin be able to attack Chu? Qin can't save Yan to get an inch of land, but Qin can attack Chu but can attack the city, you think that between the two, how should Qin Wangji choose? โ
Rong Yan opened his mouth, but after thinking about it for a long time, he still couldn't think of anything to refute, so he could only close his mouth helplessly.
By this time, there is no doubt that the winner of this debate will be the winner.
So King Yan opened his mouth and asked Lejian: "King Changguo, in your opinion, what should a widow do?" โ
Le Jian said: "King, for the sake of today's plan, the only way to appease the Zhao State is to make the Zhao State either attack Qin in the west or attack Qi in the east, so that the Yan State can be safe." โ
"Appeased?" King Yan's brows furrowed: "How to appease?" Do you have to return that Wu Huan to Zhao Guo? โ
King Yan's heart was very reluctant to return Wuyuan City to Zhao State.
If that really happens, then Yan Guo will really lose its troops out of thin air in this war, but it will achieve nothing.
Le Jian smiled and said to King Yan: "The king has forgotten the queen?" โ
