King Yan was speechless when he looked at Li Fu and Rongfu in this way.

Why is it so useless!

Although the senior officials of Yan began to discuss the matter after the Qin envoy arrived, before that, the dissatisfaction with Zhao was very serious in the heart of the King of Yan.

This King of Yan is actually a very ambitious person.

It was precisely because of his ambition that he secretly joined forces with Gongsun Cao to kill the former monarch of Yan, King Hui of Yan, thus gaining a chance to rise to power for himself.

After taking office, the King of Yan felt that it was time for him to achieve great things.

So in a few years, he not only repeatedly sent troops to attack the Donghu in the north, but even fought with Jizi, a North Korea who was originally a vassal in Yan State but betrayed Yan State after the King of Yan ascended the throne. He seized a lot of territory from Jizi Korea, causing the territory of Yan State to expand to the Korean Peninsula.

According to the previous plan of the King of Yan, he planned to spend a few years to gradually destroy Jizi Korea, and then use the Yan Great Wall as a base to continue to attack nomadic peoples such as Donghu to the north, and add more land and population to Yan State, thereby laying the foundation for Yan State to go south to compete for hegemony.

But all of this was defeated with Zhao's intervention.

Five years ago, Tian Dan led the coalition forces of Qi and Zhao to attack Yan State at the order of Queen Zhao. At this time, Yan State was almost dragged down by the protracted war due to years of military use.

Fortunately, they received timely help from the Western overlord Qin State. Otherwise, the king and ministers of King Yan and Gongsun Cao would probably end up dead and destroyed.

But even so, this war still damaged the vitality of Yan State, so that in the next few years, Yan State had been resting and unable to fight against the outside world. It was not until now that it slowly recovered a little vitality.

But as the years passed, it was not only Yan State that had recovered its vitality, but also Jizi and Donghu, who were originally half-defeated by Yan State.

According to the latest information, in order to deal with the threat from Yan State, North Korea and Donghu seem to have begun to show signs of alliance and joining forces...

What made the King of Yan even more unhappy was that, due to the power of the Zhao army, the King of Yan had to abolish his queen at that time and marry Princess Zhao, who was only sixteen years old at the time, as the Queen of Yan.

You should know that the King of Yan had a lot of feelings for his ex-Empress Yan, and the Prince An, who was born to the King of Yan, was also the best candidate for the King of Yan to inherit the throne in his heart.

But with the existence of the new Yan Queen from Zhao, the King of Yan has always been able to swallow his anger and depose Queen, but even under the pressure of Zhao, he could not directly make Prince An as the crown prince.

When a king of a country reaches this point, it can be said that he is quite cowardly.

There is a saying that goes, "Withful country has no diplomacy." Yan State is obviously not too weak now, at least one of the seven heroes of the Warring States Period. When King Zhao of Yan was a king, he temporarily became a powerful country at the hegemony level. But now, let alone diplomacy, even internal affairs were intervened by Zhao State, and he could not decide on his own. The anger and resentment in the heart of the King of Yan can be imagined.

This is why the King of Yan was determined to take this opportunity to attack Zhao State.

In the view of this King of Yan, as long as he echoes the east and west Qin and defeats Zhao State, then seizes the five northern counties of Zhao State and the former land of Zhongshan, and then swallows up the barbarians such as Jizi, Korea and Donghu, then Yan State can quickly rise to become the Northern Tianba of the Warring States Period and officially possesses the strength to compete for the world.

Therefore, the King of Yan believed that this attack on Zhao was imperative!

But before that, the King of Yan felt that it was necessary to convince the King Chang in front of him to have a happy life.

After all, although Lejian's father Le Yi is dead, Le Yi still has many old subordinates in the Yan State. The Le family has a considerable influence in the Yan State army and is an object that needs to be united.

So the King of Yan coughed and said to him: "Mr. Chang, is it really impossible to attack Zhao?"

Lejian's face turned solemn, and he said to the King of Yan very solemnly: "Zhao, the people of the four countries are all used to military service and the opinions of their ministers. They must not fight. It is better to take this opportunity to go east to North Korea or attack Donghu in the north to be a good idea."

As one of the important officials of Yan State, Lejian certainly knew a little about the strategies and plans in the King of Yan.

Given that Lejian itself now belongs to the ministers of Yan State, Lejian actually does not oppose Yan State going south.

But in Lejian's opinion, we should first defeat the two relatively easy parts of North Korea and Donghu, which are relatively easy to annex, and then find a way to solve the problem of going south. This is the right way.

Moreover, in terms of going south, Yuejian's position is different from that of the King of Yan.

Lejian paused and continued, "In my opinion, if our Yan State wants to go south, it is better to destroy Qi than to destroy Zhao. If Zhao destroys, then our Yan State will face the powerful Qin directly, which is not the best strategy. If Zhao destroys Qi, then our Yan State can go south to compete for hegemony, and secondly, there is Zhao State for our Yan State to block the strong Qin State from advancing east. Isn't this a strategy for both worlds? I hope the king thinks about it three times."

Lejian's two words clearly expressed the position of the young Chang Guojun. In simple terms, it was to let Qin and Zhao consume each other, and then Yan took the opportunity to expand in other directions, and finally found a way to solve the problem of Qin and Zhao.

In fact, this strategy was not thought of by Lejian himself, but the national policy of Yan State during the reign of King Zhao of Yan.

Moreover, this strategy was almost successful under the planning of Lejian's father Le Yi twenty-five years ago. Unfortunately, King Zhao of Yan died too badly, and his heir King Hui of Yan was too afraid of Le Yi and fell into Tian Dan's plan of discord, which led to the collapse of the plan to destroy Qi at the last moment.

This stupid mistake made by King Hui of Yan not only directly ended the short-term hegemony of Yan State, but also made Yan State waste a full twenty-five years!

This is the harm of a foolish monarch to the country.

After hearing what Lejian said, King Yan subconsciously frowned.

To be honest, these words from Lejian are not unreasonable, and they can indeed be regarded as a feasible strategy.

But the King of Yan didn't like this strategy from the bottom of his heart, because the top priority of the Lejian strategy was to have an alliance with Zhao, and it was a very close alliance.

In the eyes of the King of Yan, Zhao State has been riding on Yan State for many years and now he still wants Yan State to form an alliance with Zhao State and let the King of Yan recognize that Zhao Wangdan, who is the only one younger than Yan State, as his elder brother?

Nonsense!

Yan State has two neighboring countries, Qi and Zhao State, so if Yan State wants to go south to compete for hegemony of the Central Plains, it will either destroy Zhao or Qi, and there will be no third way.

Lejian felt that destroying Qi was better, but in the heart of the King of Yan, he felt that destroying Zhao was better!

The King of Yan thought for a while, then said slowly: "Mr. Chang, if I attack Zhao with twice the number of troops, would it be better?"

Lejian shook his head suddenly: "No."

The King of Yan frowned and said again: "If I attacked Zhao with three times the number of troops, would it be better?"

Lejian thought for a while and said, "It's hard to do it."

The King of Yan frowned even deeper, and after a long time, he said word by word: "What if I attack Zhao with four times the troops?"

Four times, that is, 200,000 troops, this is already the number of permanent troops in Yan State.

Lejian also hesitated for a long time when he heard this, and finally said, "In the opinion of the minister, the victory or defeat should be divided into five or five."

After hearing Lejian's words, King Yan felt anger coming to his heart. Finally, he couldn't help but reach out and slapped the table in front of him, making a loud bang, followed by a loud shout of spring thunder.

"In the middle of joy! How can you look down on me in Yan State so much!"

The sudden rage of King Yan shocked everyone in the hall, and Lejian was no exception. After coming back to his senses, Lejian hurriedly explained: "King, I don't mean this, but I just use it..."

"Enough!" King Yan snorted heavily, obviously no longer had the patience to listen to the musical conversation.

The King of Yan's eyes swept across the audience like lightning and said in a deep voice: "I have decided to do it, with Gao Yang as the main and Li Qing as the auxiliary, and will raise an army to attack Zhao in seven days!"

Speaking of this, King Yan suddenly looked at Lejian deeply and said in a murderous tone: "If anyone dares to leak information to Zhao State, I will kill the three clans!"

The words of King Yan were loud and echoed constantly in the hall.

At this moment, Gongsun Cao, the prime minister of Yan State, who had been silent, suddenly bowed to the King of Yan and said tremblingly: "No."

This clearly shows Gongsun Cao’s position.

When the King of Yan and Gongsun Cao spoke together, this order was the final decision in Yan State, and no one could object.

Le Jian sighed in his heart, but he still had to bow his head and salute with other important officials of Zhao State, and said in unison: "Promise."

After Qin's resolution to attack Zhao was released, the monarchs and ministers of Yan State present discussed some details, and the meeting ended.

When the ministers dispersed, a gray-haired eunuch suddenly appeared beside the King of Yan and whispered in the King of Yan's ear: "King, the envoy of Zhao was just meeting the queen..."

As the King of Yan listened, his brows gradually frowned, and the anger on his face became more and more intense. Finally, he couldn't help but snorted coldly and said, "This jian is so brave!"

The eunuch said: "King, how should we deal with this matter?"

King Yan waved his hand and sneered: "No need to pay attention! Just monitor this person."

In the eyes of the King of Yan, as long as the State of Zhao is destroyed, the Yan, who has been married from Zhao, is time to be destroyed.
