Liu Hao was sitting in his main tent, leaning back slightly and leaning on the back of the chair.

He closed his eyes tightly, thinking about the current situation in Dazhou in his mind.

At present, with the surrender of Wu State in the south, the fighting has stopped, and the only remaining resistance forces are Jin State, Zhao State and Yan State.

Among them, Jin and Zhao are the main ones, and the Liang Kingdom has also formed a coalition to confront Qin.

However, the attitude of the Yan State was somewhat ambiguous. Although King Yan Ji Dan joined the Jin King's group, he never sent troops. Instead, he sent troops to isolate the border towns between Yan and Zhao.

On this point, after Zhuge Liang and Huang Mao discussed this, Liu Hao felt that King Yan was waiting for a price.

In this regard, Liu Hao said that he should not worry about him for the time being, waiting for him to sweep through Jin and Zhao, and Yan would not be able to cause any trouble.

Therefore, Liu Hao just sent some royal guards, and after sneaking into the Yan Kingdom, he stopped taking care of the affairs of the Yan Kingdom.

Now, what made Liu Hao feel a little annoyed was that Prince Xu of Jin was preparing to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.

In fact, when the war just started, King Jin made some dramas of his own and added dramas to himself.

All the auspicious things that came from heaven and the fox fairy came to the world just showed that Zixu wanted to ascend the throne.

However, until the war between Qin and Jin, Zixu did not take that step.

Liu Hao thought that Zixu would not consider this matter anymore.

But he did not expect that the latest news came back from Jin Yiwei that Prince Xu of Jin was already in the capital of Jin, preparing for the enthronement ceremony.

Liu Hao actually understood what Zixu was thinking. He released the news at first, but he did not ascend the throne because Zixu felt that without hundreds of Qin people, he would not win the country in a right way.

Therefore, Zixu wanted to defeat the Qin State, take the momentum of victory, ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, and then sweep across the world.

However, after the battle, the Jin-Zhao coalition did not gain the advantage as expected.

Anyway, under the pressure of Qin, Wu surrendered and the southern part of the Zhou Dynasty was unified.

The State of Yan also failed to send troops as agreed, resulting in the two countries Jin and Zhao now being at an absolute disadvantage.

Approaching, Jin and Zhao could only muster an army of two million, which was already the limit. However, Qin and Qi had an army of nearly three million.

Whether it is military strength or combat power, Jin and Zhao are at a disadvantage.

At this time, Zixu thought of ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor. He wanted to use this method to boost the morale of Jin and Zhao and gain great righteousness.

However, these things are all false to Liu Hao.

Whether it is the King of Jin or the Emperor of Jin, they are all enemies to Liu Hao, and they should be eliminated if they are enemies.

Therefore, Liu Hao directly ordered Han Xin to lead his army northward after defeating Wu, preparing to decide the outcome in a battle.

And Han Xin lived up to expectations. In the first battle north, he directly defeated 500,000 Zhao troops.

Although they only wiped out more than 200,000 enemies, and they were still Zhao's second-line troops, Zhao's elites did not suffer much loss. However, it boosted the morale of Qin's side.

However, Liu Hao now needs to consider another thing, whether he wants to defeat the opposing Jin-Zhao coalition before Zixu ascends the throne.

From the perspective of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Liu Hao should defeat the Jin and Zhao coalition forces before Zixu officially proclaimed himself emperor to prevent them from weakening Yuan Chen's imperial power.

However, Liu Hao did not forget that he still had a mission on behalf of Zhou.

Therefore, from the perspective of Liu Hao and the State of Qin, Liu Hao hoped that Zixu would become emperor.

Only in this way can Yuan Chen's imperial power be further weakened. At that time, Liu Hao led the Qin army to sweep across the northern border and unify the Zhou Dynasty. At that time, Liu Hao's personal reputation was at the pinnacle.

Just when Liu Hao was thinking about gains and losses alone, Liu Yu walked in and saluted Liu Hao.

"Please tell me, Your Majesty, I have someone else who wants to see you." Liu Yu said.

"Someone wants to see you?" Liu Hao was a little surprised. He didn't understand who would come to his camp to see him.

"Who is the other party?" Liu Hao asked curiously.

"Your Majesty, the man didn't say anything. He just asked the minister to tell the King that he came from the north."

"North?" Liu Hao frowned a little when he heard Liu Yu's words. Liu Hao was a little confused as to what this had to do with the north.

"Let him come in." Liu Hao said casually.

Liu Yu took the order and was about to turn around and leave.

"Wait a minute." Liu Hao suddenly stopped Liu Yu, and then said, "You first go and inform Prime Minister Zhuge Huang Mao and ask them to come over."

"Here!" Liu Yu saluted Liu Hao again.

Soon, Zhuge Liang and Huang Hao arrived at Liu Hao's tent.

After the two of them greeted Liu Hao, Liu Hao asked them to stand aside.

Not long after, Liu Yu led a middle-aged man into the tent.

The man had already arrived at the main tent and saluted Liu Hao.

"Ji Yu, the envoy of the State of Yan, pays homage to the King of Qin." Ji Yu saluted Liu Hao.

"Your envoy is exempt from courtesy." When Liu Hao heard that Ji Yu claimed to be the envoy of Yan, he immediately became interested. Just now he was thinking about the affairs of Yan State, but unexpectedly, at this time, the envoy of Yan State came.

"I wonder what your envoy is here for?" Liu Hao sat on the main seat and looked at Ji Yu and asked.

"The foreign minister came here this time to explain to the King of Qin the misunderstanding between Yan and Qin." Ji Yu said.

"Oh? How come I don't know that there is a misunderstanding between my country Qin and my country Yan." When Liu Hao heard Ji Yu's words, an imperceptible smile appeared on his face.

"Reporting to the King of Qin, my country, Yan, was deceived by villains and trusted the King of Jin."

"Now my king has woken up and has drawn a clear line with the Jin State. I hope the King of Qin can clearly understand this." Ji Yu said.

"Oh? Your envoy is saying that you didn't know that King Jin was going to rebel at the beginning?" Liu Hao said with a smile.

"Yes." Ji Yu nodded and admitted.

Liu Hao looked at Ji Yu's look and felt like laughing.

He knew that this was King Ji Dan of Yan. Seeing that Jin was in danger, he wanted to seek refuge with Qin in exchange for the greatest benefits.

Although Liu Hao knew it, Liu Hao was not willing to oppose King Yan.

This Zhou rebellion war has been going on for a long time. The people of the world have also suffered from the war for many years.

Moreover, the land of Yan was bitterly cold, and without the support of the southern princes, Yan would suffer from food shortages every winter.

Therefore, from the beginning, Liu Hao had no intention of using troops against the Yan State. Even if the Yan State did not surrender, Liu Hao had no intention of sending troops there.

Because, as long as the Yan State's food route is cut off, the Yan State will be in chaos within three years. By then, the Qin State will be able to occupy the Yan State without any effort.

Now, the Yan Kingdom is preparing to surrender, which is also a good thing for Liu Hao.

Therefore, Liu Hao did not intend to expose Ji Yu.

"In this case, please show your sincerity, so that your majesty can see King Yan's heart." Liu Hao stared at Ji Yu and said slowly.

Liu Hao doesn't believe Ji Dan now. He feels that Ji Dan now also wants to bet on both sides.

Therefore, Liu Hao himself should force Ji Dan and let him choose one side.

Either Jin Zixu, or himself.

When Ji Yu heard Liu Hao's words, he was not surprised. Instead, he saluted Liu Hao again and said slowly, "If nothing else happens, by the time the foreign ministers arrive at King Qin's place, my king will have already sent out troops."
