Tian Ying chattered after Li Mu, talking about the Three Emperors and Five Emperors to King Zhao Wuling helping King Yan Zhao restore the throne. From Zhou Li to the hundred schools of thought, from Confucian benevolence to the unjust war of the Mohists, from Qi Huan's official felling of Shanrong, to the friendship of states, big countries must maintain the order of the world, benevolence, righteousness and love, and small countries will support big countries.

It was the first time that Shepherd Li had been tortured like this, and compared with Tian Ying, the Confucian and Mohist scholars he invited were simply dumb.

Li Mu would rather meet Bai Qi on the battlefield than Tian Ying.

Mental attacks are far more terrifying than physical attacks.

"Does the messenger know how to make a country rich and strong?" Li Mu suddenly interrupted Tian Ying's words.

"The king is benevolent and righteous, and governs the country with benevolence......

"Let's be practical, don't talk about the empty heads." Li Mu said impatiently.

"......" Tian Ying opened her mouth, speechless.

"Does the messenger know how to lead his troops into battle and conquer cities?" Li Mu asked again.

「……」

"I don't know how to enrich a country and strengthen my army, and I can't lead my troops to fight. And the messenger knows how to rule a county, or to make peace in the army?" Li Mu asked again.

「……」

"If the ministers of the Yan Kingdom are all people like the envoys, then they should be destroyed. After the envoy returns, I would like to ask him to bring a message to King Yan, the one who destroys Yan is not Zhao Ye, but Yan Ye." Li Mu waved his hand and said.

Tian Ying wanted to say something, but the two guards behind Li Mu stepped forward and forked Tian Ying out.

"I didn't think Yan Xiangjiang had anything before, but now I suddenly found that he was still very powerful. I heard that since King Yan ascended the throne, he has cultivated immortals every day and does not ask about state affairs. The court is occupied by people like Tian Ying. On the one hand, Jiang Qu suppressed his colleagues and rectified the national politics, and on the other hand, he dealt with foreign enemies. In this case, it is really very human to be able to pull out an army of 100,000." Sima Shang said with emotion.

"Yan Guo has accumulated disadvantages for a long time, and it is difficult for manpower to return to the sky." Li Mu shook his head.

If there is no foreign enemy of Zhao State, there will be a generation of Ming monarchs in Yan State, and there is still hope for revival.

However, the Yan Kingdom is in danger and full of contradictions. There are great enemies like Zhao State abroad who continue to suppress Yan State and seize the hearts of Yan people, even if King Zhao is reincarnated, he can only sigh with emotion, how thin is he to me.

In all fairness, it is not easy for Jiangqu to be able to drag the seriously ill Yan Kingdom forward.

At this time, King Yan's palace was already in chaos.

No one thought that at the critical moment when the Zhao army was besieging the city, King Yan would fall ill.

Since cultivating immortals, King Yan's health has deteriorated, and in the past few days, because he is facing the danger of losing the country, he has to fight his spirit, but people have limits after all.

After the court meeting today and the peace was confirmed, King Yan relieved himself a little, and his body finally couldn't support it anymore and fell ill in bed.

"The minister is not good at learning, the king is already terminally ill......" The last imperial doctor stood up, sighed, shook his head, stepped aside, and stood with his colleagues.

"Quacks, all quacks, cough cough, get out, get away from the widow, how can the widow die, the widow still wants to become an immortal, and he wants to live forever......" King Yan roared hysterically, the green tendons on his face were prominent, as hideous as an earthworm, but there was no trace of blood.

The imperial doctor hurriedly retreated, not daring to linger in the slightest.

"The king can rest assured, the minister will definitely invite a divine doctor to heal the king." A minister stepped forward and leaned over and said.

"Yes, King. You must take good care of yourself." Ministers came forward to show their loyalty.

"Ahem." King Yan coughed twice, feeling that his eyes were full of stars, and he almost coughed out his lungs, and he couldn't see the things in front of him clearly, and the minister also became blurry, and waved his hand impatiently, "You guys should also retreat."

"No."

Soon, there were only two eunuchs left in the room, as well as King Yan's teacher, the Duke of Heshang.

"The king, the minister has the elixir here, after eating it, keep the king alive and alive, there is no disease, even if the night royal seven girls are not a problem." The god of the river mysteriously took out a gourd from his bosom, poured out two golden pills from it, and rolled them in the palm of his hand, which was extremely tempting.

When King Yan heard this, a glint suddenly bloomed in his eyes, and his body sat up suddenly, as if he had grasped the last straw, and grabbed the sleeves of the river lord with both hands.

To this day, King Yan believes that what the Duke of Heshang said about cultivating immortals is true, but his heart is not sincere, so it is not spiritual.

Because the Duke of Heshang refining two copies every time he alchemizes, the good one is given to King Yan, and the bad one is taken by himself, although the Duke of Heshang is not getting younger and younger, but there is no sign of getting old, and his strength is getting stronger and stronger, and even King Yan's personal guards are not his opponents.

This is also the reason why no one of the ministers of Yan State advised King Yan, and King Yan did not suspect the Duke of Heshang.

The people of Heshang gave you all the best pills, and you were bad, what else should you do?

That's definitely your own reason.

"Give...... Give ...... to the widow."

"Shhh...... Your lord, you've caught your minister." He Shang Gong didn't expect that the terminally ill Yan King would burst out with such great strength, and even he felt pain.

King Yan hurriedly let go of his hand.

"King, give it, take one tonight. Take one more tomorrow morning, and the king will be cured." The Duke of Heshang put the two pills in the hands of King Yan.

King Yan hurriedly took the pill, and didn't ask for water, so he raised his head and swallowed it. In his heart, he begged the immortals to bless him.

For so many years, there has never been a time when I have been so religious.

In less than half an hour, Yan Wang's face became visibly rosy, his spirit was getting better and better, he stopped coughing, and his eyes could see clearly.

Yan Wang reached out and touched the bed board, wanting to get out of bed.

The eunuch hurriedly stepped forward and supported King Yan on the left and right.

"Get out of the way, the widow doesn't need help." King Yan pushed the eunuch aside, stood up alone, and walked in front of the river prince, "Thank you, teacher."

"The king is serious." Kawagami said with a smile.

Seeing that King Yan was getting better, he was happy from the bottom of his heart.

It seems that he is not on the wrong path.

"Call the princess to bed." Yan Wang said.

He is usually a little bit of a woman, but he is not infatuated, but today he is in a good mood, and he still called his favorite concubine to accompany him.

When the ministers of Yan heard that King Yan was well, they hurriedly came to see him again, and asked the imperial doctor to check King Yan again.

As a result, none of the imperial doctors agreed, but desperately spent money to support the relationship, and fled back to Jicheng with the whole family overnight.

Tian Ying was also able to see King Yan again.

King Yan was in a good mood and was not angry, but just encouraged Tian Ying to play well after arriving in Handan, and tried to persuade King Zhao to withdraw from the army.

The next day, Tian Ying left Jicheng and headed for Handan.

King Yan also got up from Wang Guifei's body, feeling a little tired, and hurriedly swallowed the remaining pill into his stomach, and after a while, his spirit improved, and he followed the river to cultivate the immortal for a while, much more serious than before, and then began to deal with the twists and turns.

At present, the efficiency of the Yan Kingdom is unprecedentedly fast.

All men of the right age have been drafted, organized into armies, and issued with weapons, and have begun training to defend the city.

Many nobles also sacrificed their guests and servants as soldiers.

To everyone's peace of mind, there are still many grains and grasses in Jicheng.

This is the grain and grass that Jiangqu has raised for an army of 100,000, and most of it has not yet had time to be transported to the front.

At night, Yan Wang felt a little mentally tired. Gong Heshang hurriedly took out two pills.

"It's normal for the king to be tired after a hard day." Kawagami said.

King Yan nodded, took the pill, and after taking one, he felt a little uncomfortable, so he knocked another one. Then he called two concubines to come over and sleep.

Early in the morning, the two concubines opened their eyes, took off the arm that King Yan put on their bodies, and called the king twice, seeing that there was no response, the two concubines felt that King Yan had some cold body, and an ominous premonition came to their hearts, and their faces suddenly changed.

Wang Guifei, who was more courageous, cautiously stretched out her hand and poked towards King Yan's nostrils.

"Ah~"

A piercing tip

Rui's voice resounded through the palace, and the eunuchs and guards hurriedly rushed over, but because the concubine was inside, they could only stop outside the curtain to ask.

"The King...... The king is dead."

At this time, the eunuchs and guards didn't care that the concubine was inside, and rushed in at once, and the two concubines hurriedly retreated to the side and hurriedly got dressed.

"Quick, gather the hundred officials, the king is dead." After the eunuch inspected, he hurriedly said.

Qing She and Feng Wuxue finally led the army to the front line, and Yuan Hua also led the navy to go upriver along the water control and block all the waterways in Jicheng.

"When are we going to start the siege?" Qing She and Feng Wuxue asked excitedly.

When they learned that the Yan army had surrendered on the way, they were stupid. The order they received was to assist Li Mu in defeating the Yan army, and now that the Yan army had surrendered, would they continue the march or return?

Fortunately, soon the new military order came down, and he went north to destroy Yan.

Qingshe and Feng Wuxue were afraid that Li Mu would destroy the Yan Kingdom without waiting for them, so they hurried desperately along the way and finally arrived in Jicheng.

"The first army is to fight, the second is to fight, the second is to attack the army, and the next is to attack the city." Li Mu said calmly, even if only the old, weak, sick and disabled are left in Jicheng, if the Zhao army wants to capture it, it will have to pay a lot of casualties.

If done well, these casualties are completely unnecessary.

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Li Mu and waited for Li Mu's arrangement.

"All the captives we were going to take were brought, right?" Li Mu asked.

"General Yu, they all brought, all of them live in Jicheng and have a good impression of my Zhao country." Qingshe said that when he arrived in Wuyang, Jin Di was ready, and he just needed to bring it over.

"Take the general to meet them, whether our army can take Jicheng at the lowest cost depends on these prisoners." Li Mu said.

"No."

After seeing the Yan army captives and understanding their thoughts, Li Mu became more confident in the plan and began to discuss matters with the generals, even Yuan Hua also came, and sat in the first position on his right.

At this moment, a news came from Jicheng: King Yan died.

"Really?" Even Li Mu is not calm now.

"As a Yan person, how can you deceive the general with this kind of thing, at this time, my Jicheng is already covered with white cloth, and the general can see it when he leaves the camp." Yan Envoy said in a deep voice.

Li Mu still didn't dare, or didn't want to believe it, so he personally went out of the camp and came to the foot of Jicheng, looking at Jicheng covered with white cloth.

His face suddenly became gloomy.

Funerals are not severed.

King Yan died, according to etiquette, Zhao Jun should have withdrawn at this time, saying that he was a righteous teacher, and he was by no means taking advantage of the danger of others and coveting the land of Yan.

This is also the purpose of the Yan envoy to see Li Mu.

But Zhao Jun finally hit the foot of Jicheng, and he was able to break through the capital of Yan and destroy Yan immediately.

Zhao Jun is waiting for military merits up and down, waiting for rewards!

How is it possible to withdraw troops like this!

"General...... What should I do?" Sima Shang swallowed his saliva and looked at Li Mu unwillingly.

The eyes of all the generals were also focused on Li Mu, and at this moment, no one was willing to retreat.

But this is related to the reputation of Zhao Guo, and everyone dare not ignore it.

"Go back to the camp first, and send a message to the king." Li Mu sighed, this matter can only be decided by Zhao Kuo.

Soon, Zhao Kuo received a message from Li Mu.

"What do you think?" Zhao Kuo called the minister over to ask.

"King Yan died, no funeral, our country should withdraw its troops, return the land of Yan, and arrange for envoys to go to mourn." Kong Bin said.

"Funeral or not? When the Marquis of Zhao Guosu died, why didn't Qin, Chu, Yan, Qi, and Wei lead the army to attend the funeral? It has been hundreds of years since the collapse of ritual music, and at this time, it is as funny as saying that if you control the flood well, you will get the world." Lin Xiangru said dissatisfiedly.

"At that time, the armies of various countries did not arrive in Handan, but only at the border. Messengers are still sent to offer condolences." Kong Bin said.

"That's because I, the King of Zhao Kingdom, Wuling King, was young and wise, and he had insight into the bad intentions of the Five Kingdoms and responded in a timely manner. Otherwise, the armies of various countries have already arrived in the city, how can there be me Zhao State? How can Neshi have a chance to sit here and talk about it?" Lin Xiangru said.

"At this time, the countries of the Central Plains are fighting, and the opportunity to destroy Yan is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how can you stick to the ancient rites. When the war in various countries is over and I intervene in the Yan Kingdom, my Zhao Kingdom wants to destroy Yan again, but it will not be as simple as it is now." Cai Ze got up and said.

"The minister supports the destruction of Yan. I, Zhao Guo, changed the law, and what changed was the old law, how could I give up halfway because of the old way? The Yan army is newly defeated, and the king of Yan and Yan Xiang happen to pass away, and Jicheng is ready to fall, and our army should not only not retreat, but also step up the siege of the city." Zhao Sheng said.

Zhao Bao frowned and did not speak.

Although he did not approve of attacking the Yan Kingdom when King Yan died, he knew that Lin Xiangru, Cai Ze, and his younger brother's combat effectiveness was not comparable to him.

I didn't see that even Kong Bin was not an opponent.

"Aren't you worried about the accusations of the world?" Kong Bin asked.

"The people of the world will not accuse, but only the princes of the world. As long as the Yan State is annexed, my Zhao State can look down on the entire world, and at that time, even if all the princes of the world are enemies of my Zhao State, what should I Zhao State fear?" Cai Ze said in a deep voice.

Zhao's development was beyond his initial plan.

At first, Cai Ze felt that Zhao needed to annex Yan and Qi in order to have the capital to fight against the world.

But with the destruction of the Xiongnu, the annexation of the Hetao, and the step-by-step implementation of reform and reform, Cai Ze suddenly found that unconsciously, Zhao's national strength had surpassed that of Qin and became the first in the world.

As long as the Yan State is annexed and the enemy behind it is resolved, the Zhao State is not afraid of the princes of the world.
