ps: During the National Day holiday, I fell down and accidentally sprained my wrist and could not type. I could only divide the poor manuscripts I had previously saved, resulting in a terrible update... The injury has recovered in the past few days, and I can type slowly. The swordsman will definitely make up for what I owe!

The towering Taihang River has a wall of thousands of feet high, separating Jin and Zhao from both sides.

Seeing that Zhao State was rising, Jin State was unwilling to accept it and sent troops across Jingxing many times. Feihu Xing two passes attacked Zhao State. Both were defeated by Lian Po and Zhao Sheng, and they were unable to gain the upper hand in many battles.

Although he was unwilling to do so, the monarchs and ministers of Jin could only watch the rise and growth of neighbors separated by a mountain, dominating east of Taihang Mountain, and slowly being on par with Jin.

After learning from the pain, the monarch and ministers of Jin decided to set the direction of development as the Central Plains, went south to conquer the two countries of Guo and Yu, then crossed the Yellow River, swept away the small countries of Shen, Su, Zhongwu, etc., expanded their territory, enhanced their national strength, and then went east to compete with Zhao.

In the following years, the State of Jin no longer used troops to the east, and sent troops to guard the three fortresses of Jingxing, Fukouxing and Feihuxing to prevent Zhao from harassing the mainland of Jin. Correspondingly, the State of Zhao also controlled the two passes of Wangduxing and Puyinxing, which were in a tit-for-tat way with Jin and threatened each other.

After Gongsun Yan came to Zhao State, he asked to meet Zhao Yong, Duke of Zhao State, and asked Zhao State to send troops to attack Jin State to rescue the siege of Yu State. He was willing to regard Zhao State as the sect leader in the future.

Zhao Yong naturally would not sit idly by and watch the country grow stronger, but he also hopes that the front of Jin will be extended, consume national strength, and then reap the benefits of the fisherman.

In order to achieve the strategy he planned for Fang Li, Gongsun Yan took great pains to travel around the mansions of various powerful figures in Zhao State day and night. He visited Zhao State Prime Minister Lin Xiangru, Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng, Zuo Shi Chulong, General Lian Po, General Zhao She and others. He analyzed it well, hoping that they could help them convince Zhao Yong and send troops to attack Jin as soon as possible.

Among these Jin civil and military officials, the scheming Lin Xiangru, Zhao Sheng and others suggested that they remain calm and observe the development of the situation; while the generals such as Lian Po and Zhao She were eager to fight and hoped to capture the situation and sent troops to attack Jin. If the Jin army returned to the country, they would lose their good deeds.

Lian Po, who was 70 years old, tried his best to fight and asked Zhao Yong many times: "Lord, the old minister is seventy-three years old this year, and his prime is not much. Many years ago, Jin State repeatedly invaded, killed my people and captured my property, and our army could only passively defend. Now that our country's strength is getting stronger, we have time to take revenge on Jin State!"

"What the old general Lian said is very true!" Zhao She also echoed Lian Po's request, "I am also forty-eight years this year. After wasting my time, I will be 60 years old last year. I can't ride my horse and bow. How can I fight for the country again? Please order the lord to send troops. I am willing to be the vanguard!"

The heroic and decisive Zhao Yong smiled and comforted the two beloved generals: "Haha... the two beloved ministers are in a straightforward manner. I have been paying attention to the movements of the Jin army. As long as I know, I will never hesitate!"

The battle between Jin and Yu quickly began. The Jin army captured Jiang Pass like lightning, conquered Pinglu, and killed Baili Shi, Teng Xun, Lin Yue and other major generals of Yu State. Ji Chan, Duke of Yu State, Xiangbang Baili Xi and others were also captured. The Jin army headed south with unstoppable momentum.

Gongsun Yan asked to see Zhao Yong again and begged to send troops: "Duke Zhao, the Guo-Yu alliance has broken down. Without the Guo army as foreign aid, the Yu State could not resist the invasion of the Jin army at all. If the Duke Zhao did not send troops, the Jin army would soon destroy the Yu State and then conquer the Guo State. At that time, some of the troops and horses were withdrawn. It would be difficult for the Zhao army to attack Jin again!"

Zhao Yong originally wanted the Guoyu Alliance to hold the Jin army for a year and a half to consume the military and national strength of Jin. Unexpectedly, the Yu army was so vulnerable, and Guo was even more stupid and could not help but curse.

"The whole country of Yu is really a bag of wine, and Guo is even more foolish. Doesn't Ji Shubi understand the truth that his lips are dead and his teeth are cold? Jin destroyed Yu and let them go?"

"Duke Zhao, the situation has deteriorated sharply, and it will be useless to complain. If the Jin army destroys Guo and Yu, the population will increase by more than 2 million. At that time, it can not only go south to conquer the Central Plains countries, but also overcome Taihang to threaten the Great Zhao. Therefore, please ask Duke Zhao to send troops as soon as possible to save the Kingdom of Yu in danger. In the future, the Kingdom of Yu is willing to regard Da Zhao as the sect leader, but Zhao will follow the leader!" Gongsun Yan knelt on the ground and bowed his head, and said earnestly.

The promises of the princes these days are simply worthless. It is possible that you should regard you as the sect leader today and follow your leader. It is also possible that you will suddenly turn against each other tomorrow and scold your ancestors for eight generations. Therefore, Zhao Yong would not take Gongsun Yan's words too seriously and use them.

Zhao Yong weighed the matter and decided to send troops to attack Jin, saying to Gongsun Yan: "I heard that Ji Chan's son Ji Zhai inherited the position of Duke of Yu in Wenxi. I will write a letter to Yu, and you will serve as the prime minister of Yu, and stay to serve as a doctor in our Zhao State, traveling between the two countries to contact and cooperate with each other."

Zhao Yong's meaning is self-evident. Your prime minister of Yu can only be a doctor in our Zhao State, which proves that Yu State is a vassal state of Jin State.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were many people who held official positions in various countries. The most famous one was Su Qin, who wore the seal of the six countries; and Gongsun Yan also served as the prime minister of Wei and Han, in order to prove the alliance relationship between various countries.

Zhao Yong's proposal was beneficial to Gongsun Yan without any harm, so he naturally agreed and wrote a letter to Fang Li, who had just been appointed as the General of Yu State, to inform Zhao Yong of his attitude and decision.

After receiving the letter, Fang Li agreed immediately and asked Ji Zhai to appoint Gongsun Yan as the prime minister as the king, and wrote a letter to Zhao Yong. In the future, Yu State was willing to rely on Zhao State and regard him as the sect leader.

Ji Zhai originally wanted to appoint his confidant Hou Xi as the prime minister, but in the face of Fang Li's pressure, he had to surrender and announced that he would appoint Gongsun Yan as the prime minister and change Hou Xi as the prime minister. Gong Zhiqi was still a doctor.

After receiving Ji Zhai's letter, Zhao Yong summoned Generals Li Mu and Zhao She, and ordered them to each carry 50,000 troops, Wangdu and Puyin to send troops to attack Yanmen, Jiuyuan and other places of Jin State, and plunder Jin State's supplies to rescue the Yu State.

General Lian Po learned that he would not allow him to send troops, so he immediately came to see Zhao Yong angrily and knelt down and begged: "Lord, the old minister is seventy years old and has not been much old in his lifetime. This time, the lord will not let the old minister go to battle again, would he want me to die at home?"

Zhao Yong intended to implement aggressive plans on Lian Po and smiled: "It's not that I don't trust my beloved, but you are old. If you go to attack Jin, you may have any mistakes. It's better to let Li Mu and Zhao She go. The old general only needs to be in charge in the country!"

Lian Po patted his chest and begged loudly: "Although the old minister is old, he can still eat ten kilograms of meat, a dou of rice, and a strong bow of three stones. Please ask the lord to ask Li Mu and Zhao She, who doesn't accept me?"

"Your dear, do you really want to send troops?" Zhao Yong looked at Lian Po with a smile, waiting for Lian Po to get angry.

Lian Po hit his head against the ground and begged loudly: "The old minister only wants to die on the battlefield, and is wrapped in a horse and a corpse, and does not want to die on the bed!"

Zhao Yong slapped the table and said, "Okay, I will give you 100,000 soldiers and attack Jin for me! It is best to be able to capture several important towns in the western part of Taihang Mountain this time so that our army can have a foothold in Shanxi."

Lian Po was overjoyed and stood up and fisted and said, "Lord, please rest assured. I vow to take over a major town between Yanmen, Jiuyuan and Leping this time to fight against Jin, and repay the lord's trust!"

With Zhao Yong's order, the people of Zhao shouted that the horses were neighing, and the situation changed. The three famous generals of Zhao, Lian Po, Zhao She and Li Mu, divided into three groups, left Zhao's land with thunder, crossed the Taihang Mountains, and began to attack Jin's land.

This is also the reason why Wei Chou, Pioneer and others suddenly withdrew from Louzhai Pass. After obtaining the information, Jin Xian Gong Gui Zhu was shocked and angry. While ordering Bi Wan, Zhao Su and others to strengthen their defense, they quickly notified Xian Zhen and asked him to make a quick countermeasure.
