Volume III Chapter 730

Yan Guo, who has always been strong and domineering, has now surrendered to himself, and not only surrendered, but even the entire Yan Land had to be handed over to him, and the seal of the Yan King was also sent, didn't he dream?!

Zhao Yu looked at Yin Xiang, and then at Lin Haotian, who came with Yin Xiang, and let out a strange scream that was indistinct, and he didn't know what to say.

Lin Haotian shook his head secretly beside him, the mud can't support the wall is like this, just the submission of a Yan country will excite you into this appearance, you must know that you are the current king of gold, and now your own army is like a bamboo, and the Yan country will be your territory sooner or later, not to mention the Yan land, even if the whole world is yours. He coughed lightly, cleared his throat again, and reminded in a low voice: "Great King, please accept the jade seal of the Yan Kingdom and the seal of the Yan King!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhao Yu stood up, walked to Yin Xiang in person, took the jade seal and seal with trembling hands, and then immediately helped Yin Xiang, who was kneeling on the ground, and said: "King Yan is a loyal minister, a great loyal minister, this time...... This king will reward you with a great reward!"

When Lin Haotian heard this, he couldn't help but roll his eyes and turned his head away, not bothering to look at Zhao Yu again.

At this time, Zhao Yu finally recovered from the extreme shock, and his eyes began to roll back and forth on Yin Xiang's body.

He had heard that the new Yan King Yin Xiang was very good-looking, but he didn't expect Yin Xiang to be such a beautiful and charming young woman, not at all like the domineering and hateful Yin Ji.

He took Yin Xiang's hand and warmly invited: "It's difficult for King Yan to get Liuhe, so let's stay in the palace for a while longer!"

Yin Xiang frowned, if it weren't for Zhao Yu being the King of Gold, she would probably have turned her face immediately at this time.

The smile on her face did not change, and she refused softly: "Weichen came to Liuhe secretly this time. Most of the ministers in the court did not know that Weichen had returned the Yandi to King Jin, so Weichen had to rush back to Zhaoyang as soon as possible and announce the matter to the ministers. ”

"That's not bad for a few days!" Zhao Yu just has the ability to not see other people's faces, and Yin Xiang has already politely refused. But he insisted on pulling Yin Xiang and refused to let go. She had to stay in the palace for a few days.

Yin Xiang looked at Zhao Yu with amusement, and now she finally understood why the dignified King Jin had been reduced to the point of becoming Lin Haotian's puppet.

Zhao Yu is useless. is still greedy for women, how can such a person be worthy of being the king of gold?

She could still bear it and wanted to continue to explain to Zhao Yu. But Lin Haotian's patience has been worn out.

Without warning, they heard a muffled sound, Zhao Yu and Yin Xiangtong were startled by the sudden sound, and when they looked back, it turned out to be Lin Haotian who kicked on a stone pillar in the main hall.

Lin Haotian knocked on the stone pillar with his hand again as if he was fine, and said to himself: "It's quite sturdy." As he spoke, he turned his head. looked at Zhao Yu, who was looking surprised, and said in a deep voice: "If King Yan doesn't announce the matter of handing over the fiefdom in Zhaoyang, the war in the Yan Kingdom will not end, and it will be delayed for one more day." I don't know how many more casualties there will be in front of me, how much more blood and sweat will be left, King Jin wants to keep King Yan in the palace to reminisce, it's still too early, wait until the war is over, what does King Jin think?"

Zhao Yu was not afraid of Yin Xiang, but in front of Lin Haotian, he was like a mouse seeing a cat, he nodded again and again, and hurriedly responded: "Yes, yes, yes, what Aiqing said is very true!"

As he spoke, he saw Lin Haotian's cold gaze moving down and falling on his hand, he looked down, only then did he realize that he was still holding Yin Xiang's hand, he hurriedly let go of Yin Xiang's hand as if he had been electrified, and sat back on the dragon chair in a proper manner.

To cure this confused and useless Jin King, Lin Haotian really has a set! Yin Xiang laughed secretly in his heart.

Zhao Yu, who returned to the dragon chair, suddenly remembered something, picked up the seal of King Yan, and said to Yin Xiang Zhengse: "King Yan has merit in handing over the fief, this king is particularly gracious this time, and retains the title of prince of King Yan, this seal, King Yan take it back! ”

Zhao Yu's decision was something that neither Lin Haotian nor Yin Xiang expected, stunned for a moment, Yin Xiang stepped forward, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said, "Weichen, thank you King Jinlongen!"

"Aiqing, please get up!" Zhao Yu hurriedly bowed and waved his hand, and his eyes fell on Yin Xiang's body in a daze, and he couldn't move away.

That night, Lin Haotian summoned the civil and military ministers of the Jin State and told the story of Yin Xiang's return of the fief to Zhao Yu, the king of Jin.

Hearing this news, the ministers present did not change their color, and the Yan King actually returned the Yan Land to the Jin King, so that now the Yan Land is the direct subordinate land of the Jin King, and his own side can no longer use troops in the Yan Land, and the war in the Yan Land can be declared over.

"In this case, our country must now withdraw its troops from the Yandi immediately......" Peng Qian muttered with a shocked expression.

"Not for the time being!" Lin Haotian explained: "The Yan army does not know Yin Xiang's decision, if our army suddenly retreats, the Yan army will definitely take advantage of the situation to pursue. ”

Everyone nodded.

Chu Lianyu said faintly: "It is very easy for our army to retreat, just give an order from the adult, but the You army may not listen to the orders of the adults, it is reported that the You army has now attacked Guangwu County, if you let the You army open up Guangwu County again, then the next thing is Zhaoyang." With the hatred of the You people for the Yan Country, they are now asked to withdraw their troops, but I am afraid that the You people may not be able to obey it!"

"Whether you obey or not, the withdrawal of troops is a must. Lin Haotian said in a deep voice: "Nie Shu has today, he can control the entire Youdi, it is all given to him by me, and Nie Shu will not listen to my words." ”

"It's too early for my lord!" Xiao Xuan's eyes rolled, and he got up and said: "You people have always been fierce and barbaric, and they have no credibility at all, even if our country is kind to it, it may not be rewarded, in case Nie Shu refuses to obey the orders of the adults and insists on using troops against Yan, what should the adults do?"

"Then I'll kill him!" Lin Haotian's eyes shot out of essence and he shot up.

Xiao Xuan shook his head and said: "My lord, Nie Shu's power has become big now, how can it be said that it can be destroyed? Now, the number of troops fighting in the Yan Land alone has exceeded 400,000, and in You Di, I don't know how many elite soldiers and good generals are hidden, so many soldiers and horses, and with the combat power of You Ren. Even if our country uses all the eight legions fighting in the Flame Land on Youren now, it may not be able to win!"

"Lord Xiao doesn't have to be so alarmist!" Lieutenant General Zhang Cheng said: "Nie Shu has already put all the soldiers and horses under his command into the Yandi, where will there be any soldiers and horses hidden in Youdi? Lord Xiao is too worried. ”

"The heart of defense is indispensable!" Xiao Xuan glanced at Zhang Cheng and snorted coldly. Then. He bowed his hand to Lin Haotian and said, "My lord, my country should join forces with Yan Guo now. Work together to destroy the You army that entered the Flame Land, first damage its vitality, and then attack You Land with lightning speed and swallow it up in one fell swoop!"

Chu Lianyu rolled his eyes. Yin Yang said slowly and strangely: "The Lord has already formed an alliance with Nie Shu, and now Lord Xiao wants the Lord to turn the spearhead to eliminate Nie Shu's forces and annex Youdi, wouldn't it make the Lord bear the infamy of treachery?"

He doesn't have any special feelings for Youren, and of course he doesn't tend to Youren, but in his opinion, Youdi is a wild place. Whether to annex or not to annex does not have much impact on the Jin State, and there is no need to let the Jin State and the Lord bear the infamy to fight with the Nie Shu forces.

Xiao Xuan Zhengse said: "Prime Minister Zuo's words are wrong, if my country does not annex Youdi today, tomorrow." You're going to suffer from it!"

Chu Lianyu smiled disappreciatively: "Lord Xiao is serious!"

"People have no foresight, they must have near-term worries, and they must not be negligent to people!"

Just when Chu Lianyu and Xiao Xuan were arguing, Tao Yuanfeng suddenly got up and said: "The last general thinks that Lord Xiao's concerns are not unreasonable, especially people are really fierce, adults must be careful to raise tigers!"

Tao Yuanfeng is a general in the army, and he has also served as a supervisor in You Jun, so he naturally knows You Jun well, and his attitude is undoubtedly much more weighty than others. Moreover, Chu Lianyu is his direct boss, and now he is willing to stand up and contradict Chu Lianyu, which also shows his deep concern for Youren.

Hearing that Tao Yuanfeng also agreed with Xiao Xuan's statement, Chu Lianyu frowned, and at the same time took a deep breath, holding his chin and thinking seriously, to gauge whether he really despised Nie Shu's forces.

Seeing that Lin Haotian, Chu Lianyu and other ministers were all pondering, Xiao Xuan first nodded gratefully to Tao Yuanfeng, and then said with a straight face: "My lord, the reason why Wei Chen insists on annexing Youdi is that there are deeper thoughts, or concerns. ”

"Oh?" Lin Haotian's heart moved, and he waved his hand and said, "What are you still worried about?"

"My lord, King Jin retains the throne of King Yan, do you really think this is King Jin's unintentional move?"

Lin Haotian blinked when he heard this, laughed loudly, and said, "Then what's not?"

Xiao Xuan's eyes were deep, and he said faintly: "King Yan returned the land to King Jin, but how much does King Jin know about the land of Yan, the people of Yan, and even the court and national conditions of the country of Yan? It can be said that he knows nothing, how can he govern the land well? If King Jin doesn't want to let the land out and wants to firmly control the land in his own hands, there is only one way, that is, to reuse the person who knows the land best to help him govern the land, and this person is no more suitable than the king of the fire." ”

After a pause, Xiao Xuan continued: "King Jin can do this, which shows that King Jin doesn't trust the adults at all, he doesn't dare to hand over the Yandi to the adults to govern, King Jin deliberately pulled the King Yan into the court, and he also has to use and support the Lord greatly, obviously to borrow the King of Yan to contain the adults and restrain the rights of the adults, which is also the common way of checks and balances of the royal family." ”

Lin Haotian raised his eyebrows in disbelief, stared at Xiao Xuan, and muttered, "Xiao Xuan, do you think Zhao Yu would have such a shrewd mind?"

Xiao Xuan shook his head and smiled, and sighed: "My lord, King Jin can live to this day without incident, how can he be a person who only knows how to covet women and has no brains? King Jin's weakness and incompetence Wechen dare not say that it is all pretended, but at least in Wechen's opinion, it is not logical, even if it is an ordinary person, being treated like this, living in such an environment, he has to be driven crazy by life, and King Jin has always lived well, no disease and no disaster, and enjoys all day long, isn't this puzzling?"

Lin Haotian's eyebrows twisted into a pimple, if it is really as Xiao Xuan said, Zhao Yu is deeply hidden, and has been enduring humiliation in Jinguo, then he really has to applaud Zhao Yu, his acting skills are so good, even he was deceived by him.

Xiao Xuan said: "Therefore, adults must not underestimate the King of Gold. If we can't eliminate Nie Shu's forces as soon as possible and annex Youdi, then Weichen dares to assert that it won't be long before King Jin will borrow the hands of the Yan people to eliminate Nie Shu and annex Youdi. At that time, the king of Jin will hold the two vast territories of Yandi and Youdi, and he will have soldiers and horses, and he will have money and grain. Its strength is enough to compete with adults!"

Lin Haotian inhaled. These were things he had never considered, no matter whether Xiao Xuan's speculation was right or wrong. All in all, it's terrible.

If Zhao Yu really controls Yan and You, with the innate prestige of King Jin, Yan and You will inevitably be happy and convinced of him. At that time, Zhao Yu wants to have special combat power, Yan people to have national strength, and morality, he is the king of gold and the way of heaven. What else is he missing? The next thing he must do is to overthrow the mountain that weighs on his head.

Thinking of this, Lin Haotian's body shook and looked around at the ministers present. Ning Sheng asked, "You have all heard Xiao Xuan's words clearly, what do you think?"

The crowd looked at each other, but no one spoke.

In the eyes of the ministers present, Xiao Xuan's words were somewhat exaggerated, and they didn't know King Jin on the first day, and they wouldn't be able to see what kind of person King Jin was? Adults wouldn't be able to see it? How could they be as terrible as Xiao Xuan said, so scheming. It's just that it can't be said that Xiao Xuan's concerns are wrong, what if he or even adults look away?

Chu Lianyu was the first to speak: "It's not difficult to annex Youdi, the difficult thing is to rule Youdi, the Yan people have always paid attention to the politics of the country with benevolence, but even so, the governance of Youdi is still a mess, and rebellions are everywhere, which eventually leads to a great loss of national strength and goes to extinction. However, I also agree with Lord Xiao's concerns, even if King Jin is a mediocre talent, I am afraid that there are capable people around him to help him, no matter what, I can't let King Jin control You Di anymore, it is right for my country to annex it first, of course, we must also be prepared in advance to deal with the You rebellion!"

Chu Lianyu agreed with Xiao Xuan's suggestion, and then the generals present also got up one after another, and said to Lin Haotian: "The last general thinks that Lord Chu and Lord Xiao are reasonable, and our country should annex You Di as soon as possible!"

Seeing that the generals led by Chu Lianyu were all setting an example, Peng Qian and the civil officials and ministers present also stood up to express their approval.

This time, the change of Jinguo's foreign policy was basically finalized, from the original Lianyou to the current Lianyan to extinguish, and the 'culprit' that caused the change of Jinguo's big country policy was Xiao Xuan.

It can be said that what Xiao Xuan said is a series of assumptions made through Zhao Yu's retention of the title of King Yinxiang, without any substantive evidence, and there is no basis at all, the reason why he swore in front of Lin Haotian is very simple, he feels that he has been silent in the court for too long, and it is his turn to stand up and speak.

This is what Xiao Xuan really thinks in his heart.

It's just that because of his deliberate performance, he directly pushed Nie Shu, who was in Youdi, into the abyss.

I'm not afraid of no good things, I'm afraid of no good people, this is just right for Xiao Xuan.

After discussing with the ministers about the proper annexation of Youdi, Lin Haotian went to see Yin Xiang again and bluntly explained his intentions, asking Yin Xiang to help him eliminate the 400,000 You army in the hot land.

If Yin Xiang has a point of ruthlessness towards Jin Jun, then his hatred for You Jun is ten. The Jin army captured many towns, counties and counties in the hot land, and also looted a lot of money, but it was not to the extent of indiscriminately killing the people, slaughtering the city or even burning the city. You Jun is completely different, what they did in the Yan Land is clearly that they don't want to leave a way for the Yan people to live, and it seems that they can only stop by killing all the Yan people and burning all the towns.

Yin Xiang has long hated You Jun, but unfortunately there is really no Yan army that can compete with You Jun, and Yin Xiang has no way to take You Jun.

Now I heard that Lin Haotian was going to attack You Jun, which can be said to be in line with her intentions, but on the surface, she still pretended to ignore the answer, shrugged her shoulders and said: "Didn't You Jun be raised by General Lin single-handedly? Now why is General Lin going to kill You Jun again? This is a matter between you and You Ren, so it's not convenient for me to interfere!"

Lin Haotian frowned and said, "I'm helping you, and you don't want You to invade Zhaoyang and destroy Zhaoyang, right?"

Yin Xiang looked at Lin Haotian for a while, then softened her tone and asked, "How do you want me to help you?"

Lin Haotian smiled and said softly: "It's very simple, give way!"

"Make way?" Yin Xiang looked at Lin Haotian puzzled.

Lin Haotian stayed at Yin Xiang's residence for nearly two hours before leaving, and as for what the two talked about during this period, outsiders almost didn't know at all.

The next day, Yin Xiang returned to Zhaoyang, and not long after she left, Lin Haotian also set off to Yandi, leading the Fourth Legion, under the banner of Imperial Driving.

The Fourth Army Corps set out from Liuhe River and headed south, passing through the two counties of Lize and Yisu in the Yandi, and converged with the First Army, the Third Army Corps, the Huwei Army, and the Hanlin Army in Shuangtang County.

Perhaps because of Lin Haotian's arrival, the morale of the Jin army was greatly increased, and in the following battles, the Jin army was victorious, while the Yan army led by Ren Tianxing was defeated and retreated again and again, and in the end, it could only be forced to withdraw from Shuangtang County, and the whole army fled in the direction of Zhaoyang.

While chasing and killing the Yan army, the Jin army took advantage of the situation to drive straight in, and successively captured Dayan County, Xin'an County, and Sanjiao County of Yan State, and it was simply unstoppable along the way, and no one could stop it, and the army had approached Zhaoyang, the capital of Yan State.

At this time, the You army, which was attacking from west to east, had already set up camp in the west of Zhaoyang, and the whole army was making the final rest, preparing to launch an all-out attack on Zhaoyang.
