Watching Jiangqu go farther and farther away until his figure completely disappeared into the night, Zhao Kuo directly ordered: "Order the whole army to go north tomorrow to attack Yangcheng." ”

"Huh? Didn't the king just say to wait for three days? Jin Di said in surprise, he had just said that he would wait for three days, how could he change his hexagram in the blink of an eye!

"I said I would give him three days, but I didn't say that I wouldn't attack for those three days." Zhao Kuo glanced at Jin Huang and said as a matter of course.

Jin Huang was dumbfounded, can you still do this?

If you think about it, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it!

"This is called not tired of deceit." Zhao Kuo patted Jin Huang on the shoulder, turned around and walked towards the tent.

Jin Huang is still too upright, and he doesn't know how to be flexible at all, so let's govern one side in the future, and it is not suitable for him to lead troops to fight.

Now is not the Spring and Autumn Period, and continuing to follow the rules and fight will only be played to death.

Compared to before, now is the best time to attack the Yan Kingdom.

Because only at this time, the vigilance of the Yan State will be reduced to a minimum, and the Zhao army will be able to occupy the land of the Yan State at the lowest cost.

Just like the Battle of Changping at the beginning, the Qin State pretended to negotiate peace with the Zhao State and paralyzed other countries. While actively preparing for war, he dispatched troops to the front line, and finally hit Zhao by surprise, and other countries would not help.

You say that Qin State does not pay attention to morality?

Qin Guo laughed at you for being naïve.

There is no morality between countries and countries, and those who talk about morality are fools.

In this world, only the morality of the strong is morality, and the morality of the weak is not.

Now that Zhao Jun has conquered more territory, he can put himself in a more advantageous position and create better conditions for Yan Zhao to talk about peace in the future.

On the contrary, if you stupidly wait for Jiangqu to come back and talk about it, you will only waste three days in vain in the end, and Yan Guo may still regret it.

It's no longer the time when the glory of ritual music shines all over the world!

"The king is wise." Lecheng said admiringly.

"By the way, is there any news from the rear?" Zhao Kuo asked.

"The king, after the ministers of the court and the central government discussed, it was decided that Xunzi would personally lead people to secretly investigate the corruption and reward. In addition, Gongzi Mu (Zhao Mu) has recently recruited many businessmen to work for him, but because of the war, the development of the Chamber of Commerce has been restricted. Nothing else happened. Liu Ping leaned over and said.

"Hmm." Zhao Kuo nodded, although Xunzi is a Confucian on the surface, he is actually a Legalist deep down, and he is in charge of this matter, and none of those corrupt officials can escape.

"Is there any news from the other battlefields?"

"Not yet." Liu Ping shook his head.

Several other battlefields are too far away to deliver messages, and in general, messages are rarely delivered unless something big happens, such as a big win or defeat.

This is also the reason why countries set up counties on the border, and the county guards are generally in charge of the military and government, and have the right to make temporary decisions. If he had reported everything to the king and waited for the order to come back, the enemy would have taken down the city long ago.

"By the way, my lord, General Li asked me to ask you, what should I do with those prisoners? Our army is running out of food and grass. At this time, the thousand people will suddenly say.

Only then did Zhao Kuo remember that the grain and grass for him and the Lian Po army were provided by Handan, but because the road was cut off by the Yan State, Daijun could not transport the grain and grass, so he could only be self-sufficient.

Daijun's support for Li Mu's army and Zhao Feiqi was already very difficult, and now there were 100,000 more prisoners.

"It seems that we must negotiate peace with Yan Guo as soon as possible, if Yan Guo does not agree, I can only choose to attack!" Zhao Kuo made up his mind.

Zhao has no food, and he can't change grain before the autumn harvest, so he can only find a way from the enemy country.

Qin, Qi, Han, Wei, and Yan Five Kingdoms.

Needless to say, the softest persimmon now must be the Yan State, which is weak in itself, and has lost another 250,000 troops, making it vulnerable in front of the Zhao army.

"By the way, I said before that Yan Guo would compensate for how much grain?" Zhao Kuo asked.

"A million stones." Liu Ping said.

"When the time comes, remind me, when the canal comes back, it will be changed to 1.5 million stones." Zhao Kuo said.

"King, I'm afraid Yan Guo won't be able to take out so much grain." Rakuma smiled bitterly.

Zhao Kuozhen used Yan Guo as a granary, thinking that he wanted as much grain as he wanted. Although the Yan Kingdom has a large territory, except for the Jiuhe (Haihe) Plain near Jicheng, other places have not been developed much, the grain production is very low, and the population is sparse.

It can be said that Yan has such a large territory, and it is all supported by the Jiuhe Plain, and even so, the grain output is not as large as the territory of South Korea, which is the size of a palm.

This is also one of the reasons why Yan is known as the weakest country in the Seven Kingdoms.

When Zhao Kuo heard this, he frowned, Lao Tzu still expects relief from Yan Kingdom, you tell me that Yan Kingdom has no food?

"And which country has food?" Zhao Kuo asked.

"Originally, it must have been the Qin State with the most grain and grass, but the Qin State has gone through a great war, and I'm afraid there won't be much grain left. Now it should be the most Qi country, Qi country is the richest place in the world, with the benefit of fish and salt, and there is a lot of grain, and it has not experienced war for more than ten years, and now the granary must be full. Rakuma said.

"Your name is Astragalus, isn't it?" Zhao Kuo looked at the thousand generals.

This name is very distinctive, it is a traditional Chinese medicine name, and Zhao Kuo remembered it as soon as he heard it.

"The king, the subordinate is astragalus." When Huang Qi heard Zhao Kuo call out his name, he immediately turned red with excitement and said excitedly.

"You rush back overnight to inform Yan Ju now, lead the troops south tomorrow, attack our army on both sides, take the Yan Great Wall, and then besiege Wuyang City. Forced Yan to negotiate peace as soon as possible. Zhao Kuo said.

Zhao State is in urgent need of grain and grass now, since Yan State is not enough, it can only end the war as soon as possible, and then go to Qi State to get it!

Zhao Kuo only hopes now that Qi Guo will not let him down!

"No." Astragalus was full of energy, hugged his fists, and immediately turned over his horse and rushed towards Shanggu Pass.

……

The next day, the Zhao army forcibly marched all the way, connecting more than ten cities in Xiayang City, Quyi, and Sanqiu, and the defenders of Yan State had no defense, and before they could react, the cities had changed hands.

An Ning was even more stubborn, charged ahead, killed several guards of the Yan Kingdom, and was honored as a female general by Sergeant Zhao.

In the evening, the Zhao army arrived in Yishui, and Zhao Fei's cavalry went out of Shanggu Pass, attacked the Zhao army on both sides, quickly defeated the Yan army, crossed Yishui, and took the Yan Great Wall.

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers surrounded Yanxiadu.

……

"Zhao Kuo is treacherous and not a son of man!" Jiangqu ran all the way and finally arrived at Jicheng. As soon as he entered the city, he heard the news that Zhao Kuo had sent troops to capture Yangcheng, and scolded angrily.

However, no matter how angry he was, no matter how angry he was, he couldn't change the result, and it was even more impossible to go back and reprimand Zhao Kuo at this time, so he could only hold back his anger and see King Yan as soon as possible.

"What? The king fell ill? As soon as he arrived at the palace, Jiang Qu learned the news that King Yan was seriously ill, and suddenly it was like a thunderbolt from a sunny day, shaking Qu's body and almost falling to the ground.

"The king sent Mr. out of the city that day, and as soon as he turned around, he fell ill." The one who came to greet Jiang Qu was the one who went to the mansion to invite him and brought him Luan Feng Qingxi robe for him.

"What a good thing this is!"

On the one hand, the monarch was seriously ill, and on the other hand, the army of Zhao was approaching step by step, and for a while, even Jiangqu was a little panicked, and he didn't know what to do.

"Can I see the King?" After a few moments, he calmed down and asked.

"The king has commanded that if it is a gentleman, he may enter. But now the king has been unconscious, and ask the doctor to go back and wait first, if the king wakes up, the slave will definitely notify the doctor as soon as possible. The eunuch said.

"Thank you. If the king wakes up, he must call me, it is a matter of the survival of my Yan country. ”

The eunuchs said so, and Jiang Qu had no way to mess around, so he could only bow down and say sincerely.

"Don't worry, doctor." The eunuch said.

Jiangqu staggered back home, after he finished drinking, he ran around all night without sleeping, he was uncomfortable, and wanted to rest for a while, but he couldn't sleep when he lay on the couch, tossing and turning.

The next day, the eunuch hurried over and told King Jiangqu to summon him, and hurriedly rushed to the palace with a pair of dark circles under his eyes, and under the leadership of the eunuch, he soon saw King Yan lying on the hospital bed.

"Is it Dr. Jiangqu?" As if hearing a voice, King Yan slowly turned his head and muttered.

Compared with a few days ago, Yan Wang has lost a lot of weight, his eye sockets are deeply sunken, his face is sallow, and his skin is saggy, and he seems to be terminally ill.

"The king was obviously fine a few days ago, why did he suddenly become like this." Jiang Qu knelt at the head of King Yan's bed and cried bitterly.

It is not only sad for King Yan, but also sad for Yan Kingdom, and even more sad for himself.

"It's been a long time since the widow was sick, but I haven't told you about it." King Yan's voice was very weak, "I wonder what the situation of the doctor's envoy is?" Is Zhao Guo willing to withdraw from the army? ”

"The minister is guilty of failing to convince Zhao Jun." Jiang Qu said ashamedly.

"Isn't Zhao reluctant to withdraw his troops?" King Yan asked.

"Zhao Jun is willing to withdraw from the army, but the conditions proposed are too harsh." Jiang Qu said.

"Tell me about it." King Yan asked.

Jiang Qu explained Zhao Kuo's conditions, and then said cautiously: "Moreover, the minister heard in the Zhao army that the 100,000 troops of Qing and Qin have surrendered to the Zhao State. ”

"What do you say! Ahem. When King Yan heard this, his blood surged up, and a mouthful of blood sprayed onto the quilt, and his whole body was paralyzed, his face was like gold paper, and his anger was like a gossamer.

"The King." Jiang Qu pounced anxiously and looked at King Yan worriedly.

The doctor who had been waiting next to him hurriedly opened the ditch, took out the silver needle from the medical box, and quickly stabbed into Yan Wang's body, and Yan Wang's face gradually eased.

"This king is fine." King Yan exhaled slowly, his face returned to three points of blood, he turned his head to look at the eunuch on the side, his face was gloomy as water, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "Is there such a thing?" ”

"King Yu, there is indeed news from the front line, Shanggu Pass was captured by the Zhao army, our army's back road was cut off, there was no food in the army, and General Qing Qin ordered the whole army to surrender." The eunuch who greeted Jiang Qu immediately knelt on the ground.

"Why didn't you report it before?" King Yan asked in a deep voice.

"King, the minion is worried about your body, so ......"

"Drag it out, cane it." King Yan waved his hand.

Several eunuchs next to him immediately rushed up and dragged him outside.

"It's just a few of you, you deliberately framed me. The minion is for you, my lord...... The King ......"

The sound is getting farther and farther away......

At this time, a guard quickly walked in, and when he saw the situation of King Yan's bedroom, he was stunned for a while, not knowing whether to say it or not.

"What's the matter?" King Yan asked coldly.

"King Yu, news has come from the lower capital, the Zhao army has crossed the Great Wall, and the soldiers are surrounding the lower capital." The guard hurriedly said.

"Zhao Guo is too deceitful!" King Yan's eyes were about to split, his chest fell together, and the whole person was like an angry lion, he sat up with both hands on the bed board, gritted his teeth and said, "Order, levy all strong men over the age of fifteen in the country, and order Qin Kai to be the general and command all the soldiers of Yan State." Since Zhao Guo doesn't want my Yan Kingdom to have a good time, let's die together. This king wants to see, after the Zhao State destroyed my Yan Kingdom, what will he do to resist the five kingdoms of Qin, Chu, Han, Wei, and Qi! ”

Jiang Qu sighed deeply, if a few days ago, King Yan had this courage, and there was still hope to block Zhao Guo. Now that the Yan Kingdom is strong, the Zhao army has crossed Yishui and the Great Wall, and even Qin Kai is unable to return to the sky.

It's really not tough when it's time to be tough, and not to be soft when it's time to be soft.

"King, with my country's current odds of winning, it is less than one percent." Jiang Qu admonished.

"You mean to agree to Zhao Guo's conditions?" King Yan's murderous gaze suddenly stared at Jiangqu, and the temperature in the dormitory suddenly reached freezing.

"King, it is only less than two days away from the capital to Jicheng for a forced march, and our army has no time to levy strong men." Jiang Qu leaned over and said.

"You go down first, and then the widow will think about it." King Yan was stunned for a moment, his face showed a decadent look, and he waved his hand and said.

"The minister retired." Jiang Qu bowed and turned to leave.

"How long do you have left?" After Jiang Qu left, King Yan asked.

"Your lord, it's only three months to half a year." The doctor hesitated, but decided to tell the truth.

"Mr. Hard, go and recruit the prince." King Yan sighed deeply and said to the eunuch next to him.

"No." The eunuch immediately withdrew.

After a while, the prince came to the dormitory, and after seeing King Yan, he hurriedly pounced, hugged King Yan and cried: "Father, you have finally woken up." You suddenly passed out, and the child was almost scared to death. ”

"Father is fine, how have you been learning from the teacher recently?" King Yan stretched out his hand and stroked the face of the crown prince, and asked softly, his face full of pampering.

The prince is not a few years older than Zhao Kuo, but he looks much older, his skin has a sickly white, and now it is mid-spring, and he is still wearing winter cotton clothes, obviously in poor health like his father.

"Father, it's too hard to practice martial arts, and children can't read it, so can you not learn." The crown prince grabbed King Yan's arm and shouted.

"If you don't learn, what will you rely on to govern the country in the future?" King Yan asked.

"Isn't there still a father?" Prince Yu said.

"Father Wang Yan can accompany you for a lifetime." King Yan's eyes dimmed and he sighed.

"Father will definitely get better." Prince Yu said.

"Alright, you can go back." King Yan waved his hand and said.

"Father, let the child accompany you again." Prince Yu said.

"Obedient, my father has important things to deal with." Yan Wang said.

"Then the boy will retire first." The prince said reluctantly.

"Go and invite the prince and the princess." Yan Wang said.

"No." The eunuch leaned over and said, turning to leave.

Soon, the eunuch walked in with a man.

After the crown prince learned that King Yan had called the prince over, he waited outside.

"Chen Yanyu pays a visit to the king." The crown prince and Fu Yanqi bowed down.

"The prince and the princess, please." King Yan sat on the sickbed and said weakly. "What does the prince think of the prince?"

Yan Ji was stunned for a moment, was silent for a long time, and said, "The king of Shoucheng." ”

King Yan's heart was full of sorrow, he knew that Yan Ji was a good word, and the so-called king of Shoucheng was actually a faint king.

"Is there anyone who can help the children of the widow?" After a while, King Yan asked again.

Yan Ji suddenly looked embarrassed, King Yan has so many sons and grandsons, even if you remove those under the age of five, there are seven or eight, do you want to say that all of them are stupid?

The one who died must be himself!

After being silent for a long time, Yan Ji bowed his hand, "Wang Sun is sensitive and studious, and he is not ashamed to ask." ”

"In the future, Xi'er will ask Mr. to teach him well." King Yan forcibly stood up with his body propped up and bowed to Yan Ji.

"The king is serious." Yan Ji wanted to help King Yan up, but King Yan insisted, so Yan Ji had to agree, "The ministers will try their best to teach Wang Sun." ”
