34, extinguishing the Yan Kingdom
There is food at home, and there is no panic in my heart.
Now the situation in Zhao is relatively stable, and the requirements of people in this era are indeed not very high, and the people will be very happy if they can solve the problem of food and clothing.
And as the Zhao State became stronger, a group of civil and military ministers also began to move.
On this day, Pang Nuan played: "King, now that my Zhao country is rich and strong, and there are many generals, it's time to teach our enemies some lessons, otherwise they will still think that our Zhao country is still the same Zhao country as before!" Now that we are stronger, the king needs to be the overlord, and we Zhao should also raise our eyebrows! ”
When King Zhao heard this, he smiled slightly, and said, "What do you think of what Pang Aiqing said?" ”
"Your Majesty, what General Pang said is right, we should indeed do something. In the past, Qin, Qi, Yan, and Wei had bullied us, but now that our borders are stable and our treasury is full, it is time for a war. The last general thinks that when we first crusade against the Qi country, the Qi country is very rich, and once we seize a few cities of the Qi country, we will be able to make the treasury even richer at that time. Wu Yingyuan immediately came out to echo, he is now the secretary of Zhao State, and his words are very weighty.
When King Zhao heard this, he bowed slightly, but he still looked at Li Yifei.
Although Li Yifei is still the defender of Handan City, everyone knows that his status is higher than most people.
Seeing this, Li Yifei also came out and said: "King, now you can indeed do some local attacks, Qi State, a big country, you can't move lightly." However, the Yan country in the north is weak and suitable for training, although our army is strong now, it has not yet been tested by large-scale battles, so we still can't be too anxious. It is best to attack the Yan State, once the Yan State is taken, and we go to attack the Qi State again, we will shorten the attack route and ensure the logistics supply. Therefore, Weichen suggested, fight Yan Guo first! ”
King Zhao nodded and said, "In this case, let's crusade against the Yan Kingdom, they once sent troops to invade the border of our Zhao Kingdom, and now they will use this as an excuse to teach them a lesson!" Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know who is the main general? ”
Wu Yingyuan said: "But General Li Mu's crusade is that now the Xiongnu have already escaped into the barren land of the Northern Desert, there is no need to use General Li Mu to watch them again, you can make a partial general replace the general, and let the general cut Yan, it will definitely be successful!" ”
"Okay, send an edict to the general and order him to cut down Yan!" King Zhao was naturally very relieved of Li Mu, so he agreed to Wu Yingyuan's request.
Li Yifei on the side actually wanted to go on the expedition, people in this era value military merits the most, although his status is not bad now, but he doesn't have any decent military merits.
But since King Zhao has said it, he can only be silent.
.......
After a few days, the will reached the north.
After Li Mu received the will of King Zhao and handed over his current work to Lecheng, he attacked 50,000 with all his elite troops and launched an attack on Yan State!
The ferocious Zhao army quickly swept through the cities of the Yan Kingdom, although the Yan army actively resisted, but where could it withstand the attack of the Zhao army?
The Zhao army not only had sophisticated cavalry, but also advanced siege equipment, and all kinds of ladders, siege vehicles, and trebuchets made by the disciples of the Mo family gave the Yan army a very big blow.
A month later, the Zhao army came to the city of Jidu!
The battle was fought so fast, the monarchs and ministers of Yan Kingdom did not expect it, and the exercise of sending them out for help was probably still on the way at this time.
Or, it has been intercepted and killed by Zhao Jun.
Now the Zhao army has a lot of military branches, and there is a special scout team to eliminate the other party's scouts and messengers.
Li Mu still saluted first and then sent people to surrender, which also means that once the king of Yan surrenders, the Yan kingdom will be destroyed.
Therefore, the people of Yan will naturally not surrender.
Subsequently, the Zhao army launched a fierce attack.
Although Jidu is also considered a strong city, in the face of the non-stop attacks of the Zhao army day and night, they will soon be unable to hold on.
The city gate lasted for three days, but finally it was lost, the Zhao army swarmed in, occupied the thistle capital, King Yan committed suicide, and all the princes and ministers were wiped out!
At this point, the Yan Kingdom was destroyed.
When the battle report was sent back to Handan, King Zhao was overjoyed and immediately summoned the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to celebrate the achievement.
At the banquet, the monarchs and ministers were all complacent.
Li Yifei also felt that he had changed too many things, Zhao Guo's strength was originally very weak, but now it has become so strong.
Qin's internal fighting, the tuntian system, the improvement of cavalry, and the use of Momen are all keys.
Now that the Yan State is destroyed, the territory of the Zhao State will be very vast, plus most of the grasslands occupied by the Xiongnu before, and now the Zhao State almost occupies most of the territory in the north.
The occupation of Yan State caused panic among the vassal states, that is inevitable!
The first to bear the brunt is Qi Guo!
The state of Qi soon contacted the other vassal states and came to Handan to make trouble.
There are really a lot of people who came this time, Han Chuang in South Korea, Longyangjun in Wei, Li Yuan in Chu, Tiandan in Qi, and Changpingjun in Qin.
When various countries came to Handan, Zhao also received them one by one.
After submitting the credentials, King Zhao read it, without exception, they all accused Zhao Guo of being untrustworthy and asked Zhao Jun to withdraw from Yan State.
In this regard, at the suggestion of Li Yifei, King Zhao did not come forward to meet with the envoys of any country, but took a cold treatment.
If you want to accuse, you can accuse, who are you?
Now that Zhao Guo has become stronger, he is not afraid of any opponent, okay?
Sure enough, a few days later, the envoys of various countries saw that King Zhao did not receive them, and they all panicked.
The purpose of coming this time, in addition to accusing on the surface, is actually to find out the truth of Zhao Guo, and whose turn it is to move next.
But now that Zhao Wangli ignored them, it made them feel panicked.
However, these people are also very good, seeing that King Zhao did not receive them, they ran to Li Yifei's mansion one after another, and they also inquired clearly, who is the most valued by King Zhao in Zhao now, that's right, it is Li Yifei!
Of course, Li Yifei didn't want to see these people, and he could guess their intentions.
However, these guys are all giving gifts, and it's not good not to see them.
There was no way, Li Yifei could only arrange his schedule and receive these delegations.
The first to receive was the South Korean mission, which was not the stick Korea that came later, which could not be beaten with eight poles.
The representative of the South Korean mission is Han Chuang, a brave and resourceless guy.
As soon as they met, Li Yifei was quite polite, and gave this guy a good tea and delicious pastries he had concocted.
This guy also ate it heartlessly.
After eating for a while, Han Chuang said: "Lord City Guard, your country has destroyed the Yan Kingdom this time, and the force will deter the Quartet." In the next step, will we target South Korea? In fact, our strength in South Korea is the weakest, so it is better to annex it. ”。
Han Chuang's words are quite self-aware, and what he said is also very direct, he doesn't know if he has offended people at all.
Li Yifei said: "The backer Hou said this, how will Ben answer you?" ”
