Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Page 400

Lejian thought for a while, and said: "Please rest assured, Queen Mother, within three years at most, I will definitely be able to lead the army to go out, so that Donghu and Jizi North Korea will know the power of the Great Yan Kingdom!"

Although it is said that Yan State has always been located in the frontier of China, it is also one of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period anyway. Compared with Donghu and Jizi North Korea, it is obviously better, so Lejian is really not too sure. These two enemies are taken seriously.

The topic ended, and the hall fell into silence for a while.

After a while, Le Jian quietly raised his head in wonder, but met a pair of extremely gentle eyes.

Le Jian's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly lowered his head, his heart beating violently for some reason.

After a while, Empress Yan's cold voice sounded again: "Earlier today, an envoy from the State of Qin came to the palace to ask for an audience."

Le Jian took a deep breath, raised his head again, and found that the Empress Dowager Yan's expression was extremely dignified, with a trace of majesty in her eyes, exactly how a queen mother treats her courtiers.

Did I just read it wrong?Le Jian wondered inwardly, and said, "Then the Qin envoy came to talk about forming an alliance to attack Zhao?"

The Empress Dowager Yan said lightly: "Exactly. What should I do in the light of King Chang?"

Although it is said that the Empress Dowager Yan is the regent in name, in fact, most of the things in the Yan Kingdom are actually decided by Lejian, Xiangbang.

This is actually a very normal thing. After all, the Queen Mother Yan is not yet 30 years old this year, and she is a daughter. She has never been exposed to such things as governing the country since she was a child. The only person she can trust is Lejian.

So it would be a strange thing if Le Jian didn't become a powerful minister of Yan State.

Lejian thought about it after listening to Queen Mother Yan's words, and said: "Go back to Queen Mother, in my opinion, it is not feasible to attack Zhao for the time being."

Empress Dowager Yan hummed, then suddenly said: "In your opinion, this attack on Zhao will be done sooner or later?"

Le Jian suddenly hesitated in his heart, because he was very clear about the relationship between Queen Yan and that King Zhao.

But Le Jian still bite the bullet and said: "Back to the Queen Mother, if Zhao Guo loses this battle, it will be good news for Yan Guo."

Empress Dowager Yan asked, "How do you say that?"

Le Jian replied: "Queen Mother, now Zhao is the strongest country in the world, so how can Yan have no worries because of its strong neighbors? Only by weakening Zhao can it be in the interests of Yan."

The Empress Dowager Yan snorted, and said: "But you should know that the throne of the Great King was obtained by the King Zhao sending troops to help him. If the old woman ordered the State of Yan to take advantage of the danger of the State of Zhao to attack Zhao, how should the people of the world treat the State of Yan? Don't you want to label the old woman and the king as untrustworthy and unrighteous?"

Le Jian gritted his teeth and said: "The Empress Dowager's words, forgive me for not agreeing with Le Jian. Looking at the current world, what the countries do has no faith at all, it is only about interests. The reason why Zhao Guo and Qi Guo help the king And the queen mother, it is only because such behavior is in the interests of the two countries. Therefore, I ask the queen mother to put the interests of the country of Yan as the most important thing, and to abandon personal relationships."

The Empress Dowager Yan took a deep look at Le Jian, and said after a long while: "If the old woman remembers correctly, there is also a branch of the Le clan in the State of Zhao. If you and Le Cheng want to see each other on the battlefield in the future, you should how?"

Le Jian said seriously: "Everyone should be the master!"

The hall fell into silence again.

Le Jian's heart was a little bit up and down, through the contact these days, Le Jian knew that the Queen Mother was actually a person who was fond of nostalgia, and whoever treated her well, she would reward him accordingly.

Now King Zhao and Queen Dowager Yan are born of the same mother, they have compatriot love, and then they have the kindness of sending troops to support the young son Ke. These two feelings are combined in it, and they want to persuade Queen Mother Yan to put national interests first instead of Standing on the side of Zhao Guo is actually quite difficult.

After a long time, the Empress Dowager Yan sighed softly and said, "If that's the case, why don't you send troops to attack Zhao immediately?"

Upon hearing these words, Le Jian's heart was relieved.

Obviously, Empress Dowager Yan has accepted Lejian's statement.

So Le Jian hurriedly said: "The reason why the Queen Mother didn't send troops to attack Zhao Guo immediately is because I think that sending troops to Zhao Guo at this moment may have little chance of winning."

"What?" Queen Yan's beautiful pair of eyes wrinkled slightly: "Could it be that the country of Yan has no invincible soldiers?"

Le Jian said: "That's not the case, Yan State still has 15 soldiers ready to fight."

Empress Yan said: "Then how many soldiers will Zhao Guo have to deal with?"

Le Jian said: "No more than [-]."

Empress Yan frowned and said, "15 against [-], you can't win, but you might lose?"

Le Jian said: "Exactly."

Queen Yan: "If so, when should we send troops to attack Zhao?"

Le Jian said: "When Handan falls, it will be the time when the Great Yan Kingdom sends troops."

Empress Yan said: "What if Handan doesn't fall?"

Le Jian said: "Wait!"

Empress Yan said: "If Zhao Guo wins this battle, what should we do?"

Le Jian said: "You can send troops to the south to attack Qi and take back the two hundred miles of land that was previously cut off from Qi!"

Empress Yan thought for a while, and said: "So, in fact, no matter whether Zhao Guo wins or Zhao Guo loses in this war, Yan Guo may benefit from it?"

Le Jian nodded with certainty: "Exactly!"

Empress Dowager Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "In this case, then follow what Lord Chang said."

A moment later, when Lejian was standing outside the hall, looking at the sunlight falling from his head, for some reason, he suddenly remembered the look in his eyes.

I have to say, that is indeed a very touching look.

"Is it really because you are too busy these days, so you have hallucinations?"

Le Jian shook his head and walked towards the steps in front of him.

Chapter 396 Wei Wuji's New Plan (Second Update)

Yecheng.

As the base camp of Wei State's dispatch of troops this time, Yecheng has completely entered a wartime state at this moment, and heavily armed Wei State soldiers can be seen patrolling everywhere on the street.

It is also for this reason that the law and order in Yecheng has been surprisingly good these days.

After all, once something goes wrong, tens of hundreds of soldiers will appear in minutes. No matter how arrogant the thieves and robbers are, they dare not show up at this time.

Apart from thieves and robbers, those who dare not show their heads are also ordinary people living in Yecheng.

You must know that Yecheng is located on the border between Zhao and Wei. It was originally a transit point between Handan and Daliang, and it was very lively with people coming and going every day.

But in this Ye city today, except for the soldiers who appear from time to time, there are not many people on the street, it is almost like a ghost city.

Regarding this point, Wei Wuji, who was sitting in Ye City at the moment, was actually not too concerned about it.

What made Wei Wuji more concerned was undoubtedly the ongoing war.

As a world-renowned virtuous son, Wei Wuji has long been aware of the threat to the Wei State after the Zhao State becomes stronger.

How can you allow others to snore beside the couch?Don't look at Zhao Dan who keeps saying that he wants to kill Qin Guo, but Wei Wuji is very sure in his heart that once Zhao Guo frees up his hands, Wei Guo will definitely be the first to deal with.
