Chapter 89 Da Chaoxin Palace 7

Zhao Jian misunderstood Zhao Xin. It's not that he didn't want to go home, but as the captain of Yulin, Zhao Jian, who wanted to lead Yulin Xiao's riding guard, misunderstood Zhao Xin. It was not that he didn't want to go home, but as a Yulin captain, he naturally asked to lead Yulin Xiao's riding guard father. So he had to follow the master's hand with a bitter face. Listening to the household gossip of Zhao Yong and his son, he didn't know where his mind was. He just wanted to ask the master for a while and go home for a day.

Although it's only only May since he left home, Zhao's confidence is a little homesick. He has been with his parents since he was a child. Although he often hangs out, he must go home before going to bed every day. He has never been home for half a year like this time. It was fashionable in the army and didn't have much feeling, but as soon as he returned to Handan City, the idea of homesickness became stronger and stronger. Even the cold face of his father, who was afraid, seemed to become kind and amiable. I really want to go home and eat my mother's best soup, and then have a full sleep to relieve my fatigue over the past few months.

It's a pity that the master didn't let him get what he wanted.

Zhao Yong, who was used to the vigorous and vigorous behavior, just simply cleaned up after returning to the Linjue Palace, and called the important ministers of the court in the palace to hold a temporary court meeting to discuss the rescue of the State of Yan.

Zhao Yong's return to Handan this time is not just as simple as his class returning to the dynasty, but Ji Lezi, the prince of Yan, has arrived in Handan and asked Zhao to mediation the war between Qi and Yan. This matter is of great importance and directly related to the foreign policy of the State of Zhao in other countries. Therefore, Feiyi did not dare to neglect it. He sent a messenger overnight to report to Zhao Yong, who was in Zhongshan.

Before the invasion of the State of Qi by the State of Yan, Zhao Yong had long learned that although he was busy with the war in Zhongshan, he was also paying close attention to the development of the war between Yan and Qi. Yan took advantage of the main force of the Qi army to suddenly launch an attack abroad. To be honest, it was a little unexpected to Zhao Yong.

He has been friends with Yan Wangji for many years. He has always known his ambition and knows his ambition to destroy Qi in his heart. It's just that he thought he would continue to wait patiently according to the forbearance of Ji. After all, the State of Qi is now flourishing, and it is driven by Wei and Han. Although the State of Yan has worked hard to govern for 14 years, it is too weak after all, and its national strength is still much worse than that of the State of Qi.

If Zhao Yong is his position, he will inevitably continue to endure humiliation and bear the burden, until he is sure to strike again with a thunderbolt and complete his success in a battle. Unfortunately, Ji's post still can't calm down after all. Seeing that the State of Qi has the opportunity to take advantage of it now, he can't wait to start the alignment war. Now the war is not going well. It's really a waste of his previous achievements.

Therefore, although the Yan army advanced all the way at the beginning, like splitting bamboo into the empty Qi land, Zhao Yong was not optimistic about the State of Yan. After all, the strong national strength of the State of Qi is there. Even if you go down to the city, the main army of the State of Qi is not damaged at all. Once you return to the division, you must strike the Yan army with a thunderbolt on the long front.

Therefore, the key to the victory of the Yan army is to be fast enough to quickly capture Linzi before the main force of the State of Qi returns, or consume a large amount of living power of the State of Qi, which creates a fait accompli. If the State of Qi declines, Zhao, Chu, Wei, Song and other countries will certainly not mind beating the water dog. Once the countries join, a big deal can be decided. However, after the Yan army attacked Henan, the progress was slow, and it was often entangled for several days under a small city. It gradually lost its spirit when it attacked the State of Qi, and the initiative of war also returned to the State of Qi.

As Zhao Yong expected, when the main force of the Qi army returned, Yan was panicked. He abandoned the city that had spent countless attacks and wanted to return to the State of Yan, but he was defeated by the Qi army and counterattacked into Yan.

Although the failure of the State of Yan was expected by Zhao Yong, he certainly did not want to see this important ally defeated by the State of Qi. Anyway, the State of Yan has been following the footsteps of the State of Zhao in a major position for more than ten years. In order to show its close relationship with the State of Zhao, it even transferred all the troops at the junction of Yan and Zhao to show sincerity. After more than ten years of hard work in the State of Yan, the country has gradually caught up with Wei and Han. Although it is still a little far from the Qin, Qi and Zhao, it is not far away.

Although Zhao Yan's relationship is harmonious, as a country where two lips and teeth intersect, Zhao Yong naturally does not want the State of Yan to be too strong and affect the safety of his rear. Therefore, he is also happy to see the failure of the State of Yan, but he is not willing to come out with a greatly weakened State of Yan. After all, he also needs the State of Yan to be restrained. However, he could not rashly intervene in the Qiyan War. After all, if the name is not right, it will not be right. One of the two countries must plead for mediation, so that there is a reasonable reason to intervene. Therefore, Zhao Yong digested the newly occupied territory of Zhongshan into the State of Zhao, and on the other hand, he continued to pay close attention to the development of the war between the two countries.

Therefore, after receiving the news that Prince Yan came to the State of Zhao to ask for help, Zhao Yong immediately put down what was at hand and quickly led the army south to return to Handan. After arriving in Handan, he immediately held a imperial meeting and summoned the important ministers of the court to discuss the matter of Yan.

Although the State of Zhao has established a country, it still inherits the system of the State of Jin, which is governed by scholars and doctors. During the war, most of them were commanded by ministers and led by tiger charms. Therefore, although it was a military meeting, no general attended except Zhao Zhang, who was newly appointed as Anyang Jun. The only exception is that Zhao Xin was chartered by his master to participate in such a high-level court meeting, but he could only stand aside quietly as a servant, firmly shut up and didn't say much.

When everyone saw that Zhao Xin, a small lieutenant, could listen to him, they knew how much his father had favored him, and the eyes that looked at him were also a little different. Only Gong Zicheng had a gloomy face, his eyes flashed quickly, and his face was very bad.

Zhao Yong naturally didn't care about his thoughts. He just asked Zhao Xin to tell the general situation, then looked around the crowd and whispered, "Today, I'm here to discuss a countermeasure. Should I save Yan or not? If I want to save it, how should I save it?"

He glanced at Zhao He beside him and said, "He Er, talk about it first."

In Zhao He's heart, his father had the intention to investigate him, and he was a little nervous. After meditating, he thought about what to say, and then said, "Father, I think that the State of Yan is a solid ally of our State of Zhao and the most important pawn to contain the State of Qi. Once the State of Yan is destroyed by the State of Qi, the State of Qi will push its forces to Hebei and surround our State of Zhao, so that our State of Zhao will certainly be at a very disadvantage.

"So I think we should send troops to rescue the State of Yan immediately."

Zhao Yong nodded with a gratifying smile on his face and said, "It seems that you haven't been lazy in the past few years. Yes, there is some truth, but it is not comprehensive. You might as well listen to what others say and think about your shortcomings."

"I remember it."

"Sangbang, tell me your opinion."

Fei Yi bowed slightly, frowned slightly, and muttered; "Lord, I also think what the king said is extremely true. The State of Yan must be saved, but how to save it is a knowledge."

"Oh?" Zhao Yong's face showed interest, "What do you think? Let's talk about it."

"I think we might as well follow Tian Ji's example to save Han, and promise Prince Yan that he will send a large army to save Yan, so that the State of Yan will be determined to defend the city. In this way, it can not only consume the strength of the State of Qi, but also make the State of Yan more dependent on our State of Zhao."

The matter of "Tian Ji saves Han" mentioned by Fei Yi is that when King Wei Hui dominated the Central Plains, he sent General Pang Juan to attack South Korea and besieged Han Du Xinzheng. In order to protect itself, South Korea sent envoys to ask the king of Qiwei for help. At that time, Xiangbang Zou Ji persuaded King Wei not to save Han, but let Wei Han kill each other in order to weaken the two countries at the same time. Tian Ji, on the other hand, listened to Sun Bin's advice and believed that it was not advisable to look on the wall. Once South Korea did not support it, it would inevitably surrender to the State of Wei, which greatly damaged the interests of the State of Qi. He persuaded King Wei to agree to rescue South Korea first, let South Korea defend Xinzheng, and then excused it for various reasons. He knew that he did not send troops to save him until more than half a year later. At this time, both the Wei army and the South Korean army were exhausted. Tian Ji used Sun Bin's plan to defeat the Wei army in Maling and killed General Pang Juan. From then on, Qi replaced the hegemony of the State of Wei. Quan has dominated the Central Plains for more than 60 years.

Feiyi gave this example at this time, which was nothing more than to let the master follow the example of the king of Qiwei. He first promised to save the State of Yan, but sat and watch the consumption of the two countries and the disease when he was exhausted.
