After receiving the summons from King Ying Zhu of Qin, Cai Ze hurried into the palace to meet Ying Zhu.

After seeing Cai Ze, Ying Zhu asked directly: "Gang Chengjun, do you think I, Qin, should I send troops to help Zhao?"

On the way to the palace, Cai Ze had already thought of this question.

At this time, after hearing Ying Zhu's inquiry, Cai Ze replied:

"Prince, at present, Zhao State has been beaten to death by Yan State and is no longer the main opponent of our Qin State. At present, Yan State is the main opponent of our Qin State."

"This time, Yan State attacked Zhao, and was determined to destroy Zhao. If it succeeds, it will be very unfavorable to our Qin State in the future. The king, in the opinion of his ministers, our Qin State must not allow Yan State to annex Zhao State. We should send troops to assist Zhao State to prevent Yan State from further expansion."

After hearing Cai Ze's words, Ying Zhu began to ponder.

After the Qin State attacked Yan the previous year, it damaged about 100,000 soldiers and was in short supply.

After the general Zhao Rong died in Diqiu, Wang He, the Qin general who was originally in Anyang, was ordered to garrison Hangu Pass.

Now, the Qin army led by general Zhang Tang is only 60,000 to 70,000.

After a while, Ying Zhu said to Cai Ze: "When my father was alive, he was very worried about Yan State. What Gangchengjun said was exactly what I mean. Since that is the case, let Zhang Tang's troops in Anyang lead 50,000 troops to assist Zhao State!"

Cai Ze bowed to King Yingzhu of Qin:

"Your Majesty, our Qin State can send people to Zhao Wangdan as soon as possible to strengthen Zhao's desire to resist the Yan army. In addition, our King can send envoys to Chu, Wei, and Han State to invite the three countries to send troops to Zhao together to aid Zhao, and ask the king to give a clear explanation."

After hearing what Gangchengjun Cai Ze said, King Yingzhu of Qin was overjoyed.

"Gangchengjun is not sorry for his father's attention during his lifetime, and this plan is very good."

"The king is the wise man." Cai Ze was also very happy to see that King Ying Zhu of Qin followed his advice.

King Yingzhu of Qin walked two steps back and forth in the hall and said to Cai Ze:

"The Yan State's military armor is sharp and its strength is indeed very strong. Before leaving, my father told me to equip my Qin army with the same weapons and equipment as the Yan army. I know that this matter is your supervisor, Gang Chengjun. How is it going now?"

Cai Ze sighed and replied to King Yingzhu of Qin:

"King, after our Qin State obtained the weapons and equipment of Yan State, the craftsmen began to imitate it. To be honest, the king is not ideal so far. The most important thing is that the materials of the Yan army's weapons and equipment are not known to make."

"Especially the hand fire thunder of the Yan army, the black powder inside it is similar to an item refined by the alchemists, called gunpowder. Our Qin State also imitated it, but it did not cause any damage to the enemy."

"As for the equipment of the Yan army's cavalry, our Qin State has completely copied it. The saddle and stirrup are not weak at all compared to the cavalry of the Yan State. As for the places where the horses and horses are called horseshoes by the Yan army, they can only be replaced by bronze objects, and their durability cannot be compared with the cavalry of the Yan army."

After listening to Cai Ze's words, Ying Zhu had no choice but to say to Cai Ze:

"Since that's the case, our Qin cavalry should be configured according to the Yan cavalry equipment. As for the Yan army's hand fire thunder and other Yan army equipment, Gang Chengjun, you should supervise more."

"No." Cai Ze bowed and replied.

According to Ji Kang's edict, March 15th was the day when the four armies of Yan State unified the march into Zhao State.

At this time, the whole country of Yan had fully entered the atmosphere of war.

The intelligence personnel sent by Yan State to various countries in the Central Plains have also taken full action to continuously transmit the movements and information of various countries in the Central Plains to the hands of Wuyang Jikang, Xiadu, as fast as possible.

In a palace in Wuyang City Royal Palace, after Ji Kang looked at the information on the table, he did not conceal the information from Tian Guang, Han Fei and Ju Wu at the table, and also circulated the information to them.

After seeing Tian Guang and the other two circulated, Ji Kang said to the three of them:

"It seems that this attack on Zhao will be very uneasy! If nothing unexpected happens, except for Han, Qin, Wei and Chu will definitely send troops to assist Zhao. Will our Yan State fight another battle in the Central Plains?"

Tian Guang, Han Fei and Ju Wu all looked solemn.

Ju Wu looked at Shimota Guang and Han Fei, stood up and said to Ji Kangyan:

"The king does not need to worry too much. The movements of the countries in the Central Plains are not as expected by our country before the war. Judging from the information of each country, the countries in the Central Plains are not focused on aiding Zhao, but have their own plans."

"King Han has sent envoys to our Yan State and took the initiative to demand an alliance with our Yan State. It seems that South Korea will not send troops to aid Zhao; Chu State is also preparing to send envoys to mediate the war, and it seems that it is also planning to continue to be a fence-bearer."

"Your Majesty, the only things that our Yan State are worried about are Qin and Wei State. Qin and Wei will send troops to assist Zhao State, but this time the number of troops to assist Zhao, Qin and Wei State is not very large, and our army can deal with it calmly."

Han Fei also stood up and bowed to Ji Kang and said:

"King, even if Qin and Wei are preparing to aid Zhao, their army will have time to prepare. As long as our army can occupy Handan, Qin and Wei within a few months, they will do useless achievements."

After Ju Wu and Han Fei finished speaking, Ji Kang looked at Shimota Guang and said to him:

"Tian Guang, you can also talk about your opinion."

"No." Tian Guang stood up and agreed.

Then, he clasped his fists and said to Ji Kang:

"King, now the various armies that our Yan Kingdom attacked Handan have been fully launched. As the King often said, the arrow was on the string and had to be fired."

"At present, not to mention that it is just Qin and Wei to aid Zhao, even if Chu and South Korea are also involved, these countries use all their troops to aid. It is just a replica of the countries that even attacked me the previous year. I, Yan, will not be timid. Just fight!"

Seeing Ju Wu, Han Fei and Tian Guang like this, Ji Kang couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Ji Kang knew: the morale of a country is achieved through the people's hearts, not negotiation.

Over the years, Yan State has fought against the west and fought against the south and north; it has been invincible in battle and has been defeated in every battle. A belief in winning has been integrated into the blood of the military and civilians of Yan State.

Nowadays, there is no concept of not daring to fight in the hearts of the military and civilians of Yan State.

Even if you come from all countries, what about it?

Just as Tian Guang said just now, fight, that's it!

Ji Kang stood up, came to the map in front of the wall, and looked up.

After a while, he turned around and said to the three people: "I have been told that I will order the reserve troops of the counties of Yan State to be prepared to enter the battle at any time; I will order us to attack various troops from Zhao and launch an attack on Zhao State as planned."

Tian Guang, Han Fei and Ju Wu stood up together and said in unison: "No."

On March 14th, a residence was in Pingyang City, southern Zhao State.

Veteran Lian Po stood next to the map in front of the wall and remained motionless for a long time.

The two years ago, Zhao's participation in the battle between the Central Plains countries in the battle against Yan was too great for Lian Po.

As a famous general, he led a hundred thousand Zhao army and after careful planning, he sneaked into Fancheng. The final result was that he was defeated by the Yan army and more than half of the Zhao army was lost.

After this, Yan State did not expect that, and began to send troops to attack Zhao State last year.

Today's Zhao State has reduced its territory by half and its national strength has declined even more.

Faced with the invasion prepared by the Yan army this year, Lian Po already felt that Zhao State was in danger of destruction.

Deputy General Qingshe, behind Lian Po, said to Lian Po:

"General, our army has prepared the equipment to set off and is ready to wait for the call."

Lian Po turned around and said to Qingshe:

"General Qingshe, this time the Yan State invaded a large-scale attack, and our Zhao State has reached a critical moment of life and death. Judging from the deployment of the Yan Army, the direction of the Yan Army's main attack was not in the south of Handan, but in the north."

"This general leads 50,000 troops to head north and reinforce General Pang Nuan's troops. The southern Great Wall area is entirely up to you to defend the Yan army. Remember not to take the initiative. Our army can give up the cities south of the Great Wall. You just need to rely on the southern Great Wall to block the Yan army's invasion."

Speaking of this, Lian Po wandered back and forth next to the map, and then explained to Qingshe:

"General Qingshe, after I join General Pang Nuan's troops to repel the Yan army in the northern part, I will immediately lead the army south to reinforce you. If... if something happens to me, you can give up all the cities in the Great Wall of the South and lead the army back to Handan and guard Handan immediately. Do you understand?"

Qingshe knew what Lian Po said, and felt extremely tragic in his heart.

"I will obey the order." Qingshe gave Lian Po a great gift.

On March 15th, early morning, at the hour of Mao (5:00 to 7:00).
Chapter completed!
