Chapter 405: The Last Time of the Yan Kingdom
"According to the friendship between the king and the old way, the old way should not be able to refuse, but the ancestor has a rule, this practice is not allowed to be passed on, if the old way violates the rules, not only will he be punished, but the king will not be able to really become an immortal...... "The river lord said in embarrassment.
"This ...... Can't you make an exception? King Yan looked at the prince of the river expectantly.
The river man closed his eyes and did not speak.
When King Yan saw this, his brain turned wildly, and his IQ instantly rose to an unprecedented height, and after a while, he really thought of a way, "The widow is willing to worship the prince of the river as a teacher, so it is not a rumor......"
"Never...... As a monarch, how can the king worship the old Taoist and turn outsiders as teachers, absolutely not. The river shook his head repeatedly.
On the other side, King Yan didn't wait for the Duke of Heshang to refuse, and had already knelt down, "Disciple to meet the teacher." ”
"Ah, my lord...... Please. The prince shook his head helplessly, "The king's move is really a shame." ”
King Yan looked at the Duke of Heshang expectantly, and the Duke of Heshang sighed, "Old Dao, I'll hand over the exercises to the king......"
Three days later, Yan Wangyu took the pill, saw the legendary fairy world again, and became friends with a group of fairies. After returning to the world, he looked at the roof in amazement, motionless.
"The king......" the river lord called cautiously.
"Is there any more elixir?" Yan Wangyu asked, it's too short, the time is too short, and he hasn't enjoyed it enough, so he fell from the fairy world.
"This ...... The minister's funds are limited, and only three pieces have been refined, and all of them have been given to the king. Kawagami said.
"Whoever you need is given to you." Yan Wangyu waved his hand and said, Isn't it money, my Yan country has it.
"Three thousand gold." Kawagami said.
"Someone." Yan Wangyu shouted.
"The King." An attendant walked in and bowed.
"Fetch five thousand gold." Yan Wangyu waved his hand and said.
"Your lord, Shaofu doesn't have five thousand gold." The squire said.
King Yan suddenly frowned, "Then take three thousand gold." ”
"Your Majesty, the money of the Shaofu has been taken away by Xiangguo." The squire said.
"Sangkook?" After thinking about it for a long time, King Yan finally remembered who Xiangguo was, "Go and call Jiangqu." ”
After nearly two hours, the servants came to the palace, and when he saw the prince of the river, he frowned, and an inexplicable anger rose from his heart, but for the sake of King Yan's face, he did not get angry, and said, "I don't know what the king is calling his ministers?" ”
Compared with a year ago, Jiangqu has become bald and stronger, and the doctor of that year has grown into the Xiangguo of Yan State, under one person, above ten thousand. It's just that the crown of hair is crumbling, pulling at not much hair.
Due to the departure of Libei, Lejian and others, Yan Guo was left with only Jiangqu alone, and in order to repay the first king, Jiangqu worked hard every day and worked hard.
Barely maintain the mess of the Yan Kingdom so that it does not collapse, and as for the revival, Jiangqu is powerless.
Although he is a famous minister, there is still a gap between him and the top handful, and the situation in Yan Guo is ...... It's useless for anyone to come.
Although King Yan cultivates immortals and alchemy, to be honest, Jiang Qu does not have much dissatisfaction with King Yan in his heart, because King Yan has never blindly commanded in state affairs, to be precise, he has never commanded, and all of them are handed over to Jiang Qu.
Holding power alone, but being respected by the monarch, this should be the ultimate pursuit of Wenchen.
"The money in the Shaofu was transferred by you?" King Yan asked in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, in the first battle last year, the 250,000 troops of my Yan Kingdom were wiped out. This year, Donghu has moved southward, and all localities have suffered varying degrees of losses. The minister thought that my Yan Kingdom must retrain the new army, but the internal history was not rich enough, so the minister called the money of the Shaofu. Jiang Qu said.
In the troubled times, the most important thing is military strength, and only by having an elite of its own can the Yan State break free from the control of the Zhao State and then develop and grow.
Zhao Guo distributed grain and grass to the relatives of Yan captives, although it won the hearts of the people of Yan State, but also saved Yan Guo a lot of expenses.
Without the help of Zhao Guo, and the snowstorm last winter, Yan Guo would inevitably have a large-scale famine this spring, and then Donghu would have driven straight in.
Snow disasters, famines, and wars are superimposed, and it is difficult to say whether King Yan's throne can be secured.
After all, it is not the first time that the minister has killed the monarch in Yan Kingdom.
It's just a little messy now, and the whole is still under control, which is already very good.
After defeating Donghu, Yan also got a respite, so Jiangqu planned to train a new army.
He reported this matter to King Yan very early, King Yan has not replied, a few days ago Jiangqu came to see King Yan in person, King Yan was burning incense and bathing, not to be disturbed.
In desperation, Jiangqu could only mobilize Shaofu funds.
Just as Zhao Guo chose to change the law at this time, for Yan Guo, this is also the last time, once Zhao Guo succeeds in changing the law, he will free his hands, and the first one to destroy will inevitably be the Yan Kingdom behind him.
Only by destroying the Yan State can we concentrate all our forces to go south to the Central Plains.
The Yan State must gain the power to protect itself before the Zhao State succeeds in changing the law.
This strength doesn't need to be too strong, as long as it can make Zhao unable to win quickly, and support other countries to come to support.
"How many new troops does Sangkook plan to train?" King Yan didn't scold, even if he was stupid, he knew the importance of the army, but Jiang Qu didn't inform him and started training the new army, and he was still a little dissatisfied in his heart.
"The old general Qu Jing brought back 20,000 cavalry, and the minister planned to keep 5,000 and dismiss 15,000. In addition, recruit another 10,000 infantry. Jiang Qu said. In fact, he really wanted to keep all the 20,000 cavalry, but he really couldn't afford to raise them, so he could only screen out 5,000 elites and send the remaining 15,000 cavalry infantrymen home.
According to his estimates, there are 15,000 elites, plus tens of thousands of soldiers can be levied in the Yan State in the battle, as long as the Zhao State does not use the country's strength to destroy Yan, the defense of the Yan State should not be a problem.
If Zhao Guo is full of strength, other countries will definitely not let go of this opportunity.
"The widow needs three thousand gold, can you squeeze out a little." King Yan never thought that he would ask his ministers for his own money as a monarch, and he would have to use a pleading tone.
It's good that King Yan didn't say this, but as soon as he said this, he suddenly came up, and asked angrily: "Dare to ask the king what is the use of three thousand gold?" ”
"Alchemy." King Yan didn't hide it either.
"You traitor, bewitch the king, deceive the king, and steal the money of my Yan country." He threw himself at the river, roaring angrily.
He had long seen that Heshang Gong was dissatisfied, he used to just refine alchemy, but now he has begun to cheat money.
King Yan can endure it, but Xiangguo can't bear it either.
Although the river lord is old, his footwork is very sensitive, and as soon as his body flashed, he hid behind the curtain: "Xiangguo is angry, Xiangguo is angry, this money is not what the old Taoist wants." ”
"King, this traitor must have been sent by the Zhao State to bewitch the king, please behead this thief." Jiang Qu knelt on one knee and said solemnly.
"Presumptuous." At this time, King Yan seemed to be possessed by King Yan Zhao, the king's qi leaked, strode in front of Jiang Qu, and kicked Jiang Qu to the ground, "The river lord is a widow teacher, if you want to kill the river lord, you want to kill the widow." ”
"Someone!"
"The King." A group of guards rushed out from outside.
"Drag Sangkook out." King Yan hesitated, but he was still not willing to chop up the ditch, "Put him in prison and fine him three thousand gold." When will you pay enough three thousand gold, and when will you release it. ”
"No." The guard bowed his hand and carried the ditch out.
"The king, Xiangguo is a virtuous minister of Yan State, the king should be trusted by his relatives, although the old way can be alchemy, but it is not through state affairs, in private, maybe the king prefers the old way. But as far as the country is concerned, the king should be friendly to the country. He leaned over and said.
"Jiang Qu scolded you like this, and the teacher still helped him speak?" King Yan said with some displeasure.
"Lao Dao is not helping him say the Fa, but helping the king. Only when the Yan Kingdom is strong and prosperous, can the king cultivate immortals with peace of mind, right? Kawagami said.
"That's what the teacher said." King Yan nodded, "But after all, he scolded the teacher, so let's lock it up for a few days first." ”
