The decision of King Dan of Zhao to personally lead the expedition surprised all the ministers in the hall.

All the ministers knew that Zhao Wangdan's move was a move that would lead to a good deed if he failed. The Zhao army in Xindu had a total force of 150,000 troops, while the main force of the Yan army at this time was twice that of the Zhao army, reaching 300,000.

The decisive battle between the enemy and the few is not easy to fight.

If Zhao State wins this battle, everything is easy to say. What I am afraid of is that this battle will fail! If this is the case, once Zhao Wangdan is in the front line, his country's destiny will be in danger!

The ministers in the hall stood up together, preparing to dissuade Zhao Wangdan.

Seeing that the ministers were like this, Zhao Wangdan waved his hand and stopped them.

From the throne steps, he slowly walked down to the door of the hall and looked out of the hall.

There was a silence in the entire palace hall.

Zhao Wangdan turned around, stepped to the map on the left side of the throne, and looked at the hanging map.

After a long time, Zhao Dan turned around and said to the ministers on both sides:

"When the father and mother were in charge, they gave me the country, with a territory of more than 2,000 miles, millions of people, and hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers who were good at fighting. The literature included the Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng, Pingyang Jun Zhao Bao, Lin Xiangru, Yu Qing and others; the martial arts included the martial arts, the Le Yi, Lian Po, Lou Chang, and later Tian Dan, Le Cheng and others."

"At that time, our country, Zhao, was ranked by the world and Qin, and was called "the two strongest people in the world". At that time, our country, the country was rich, the people were rich, the treasury was strong, the military was strong, the generals were numerous, and the soldiers were sharp."

"I have been king for 14 years since I ascended the throne. First, there was the sorrow of Changping, and hundreds of thousands of men in our country, Zhao, were killed; then there was the trap of Handan, and in Handan, the people used bones as a cook and changed their children to eat each other."

"Today, there is only a corner of Handan left in our Zhao State. Pingyuan Jun, Pingyang Jun, Lin Qing, Yu Qing and others have all left, and Zhao She, Le Yi, Tian Dan and others have also left. Now, the civil officials of our Zhao State have withered, and only the military generals are Lian Po and Pang Qian."

Speaking of this, a feeling of sorrow surged into Zhao Wangdan's eyes.

Close his eyes and suppressed the emotion in his heart.

In the hall, all the ministers and generals showed shame and bowed to King Zhao's alchemy and said:

"It is all because of the incompetence of the minister. I have to punish my king for this."

Zhao Wangdan opened his eyes, shook his head, and said to the ministers:

"At the moment, when I think about it carefully, it is not the fault of you, but the incompetence of me. Since I ascended the throne, I have suffered several times to the danger of my country's destruction. I am the result of my own fault, and I am ashamed of my ancestors and my subjects of my country."

Seeing that the ministers were going to advise again, Zhao Dan waved his hand again and continued to say to the ministers:

"No need to say so much, I have decided. Now Yan State is invading my territory and killing my people. I went to the front line of my letter to the front line and confronted me with the army of Zhao State."

Speaking of this, Zhao Wangdan looked at the ministers, his tone was gentle and heavy: "I passed on my edict. This time I went to the capital after I went to the capital, and the Crown Prince Zhao Yan supervised the country and all the ministers assisted him."

Seeing that Zhao Dan could not be dissuaded from going to Xindu, the ministers could only bow and obey the imperial edict and said, "Promise."

After the court meeting, the news that King Dan of Zhao personally led the army was sent back to Du Wuyang as quickly as possible after the court meeting, and Ji Kang was informed.

In the royal palace of Wuyang City, within a palace.

"Hmph! This Touman Shanyu is so bold that he actually sent troops to attack Yuezhi again this year."

Ji Kang's voice came from the hall.

Just now, information came from the grassland. When the Yan army was heading south to attack Zhao State, the Xiongnu Khan Touman, after the beginning of spring, led the Xiongnu army to attack the Yuezhi State in the Hetao region.

Ji Kang was very concerned about the northern Huns.

From the current perspective, the history of Ji Kang's previous life is no longer applicable to the current situation.

The power of the Huns developed much faster. First, in the past few years, they captured the Lingding and other grassland tribes in the north. Then in the past two years, many small countries in the Western Regions surrendered to the Huns.

The Huns Toman Shanyu's actions naturally made Ji Kang feel worried.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. The war between the Huns and Yuezhi countries will not cause any damage to our Yan State. Besides, the current focus of our Yan State is on the Central Plains countries, and we cannot go to the grassland north to fight on both sides."

Ju Wu bowed and said to Ji Kang.

"King, the countries in the Central Plains are the "confident" of our Yan State, and the countries in the grassland such as the Xiongnu, Donghu are just the "disease of tinea scabies" of our Yan State. When our Yan State frees up our hands, we can destroy it with our backhand."

Han Fei made suggestions to Ji Kang, and in his tone he was very contemptuous of grassland countries such as the Huns.

It is no wonder that although China in this era has become a "one-pot" in its own country, countries look down on the Huns in the north and Baiyue in the south.

Ji Kang looked at Han Fei, Ju Wu and the others, and was about to say something to them when he saw Tian Guang walking in.

"Report to the king, Handan sends back the news." Tian Guang held a piece of intelligence in his hand and said to Ji Kangyan.

"Oh, let me see it." Ji Kang ordered.

The attendant ordered Wang Cong hurriedly stepped forward to take the information from Tian Guang's hand and handed it to Ji Kang.

After reading the news from Handan, Ji Kang sat at the table and started to think.

In the past month since the Yan army set out to fight, the three armies in the north have joined forces. Zhao Guoxindu and the cities north of the sand dunes have all been occupied by the Yan army and have begun to dispatch officials to govern.

From the documents of Rongfu and others, Ji Kang also knew that the 300,000 troops of Yan State had already moved south from the leadership of Rongfu, Lejian, Wang Shi and others, preparing to fight against the main force of the Zhao army led by Lianpo and Pang Yan.

Unexpectedly, my uncle was so strong that he could lead the army to urge the battle.

Zhao Wangdan's operation can be said to be a dangerous move that can only be killed.

Standing up, Ji Kang came to the map in front of the walls of the hall and looked at Xindu.

Xindu (now Xindu District, Xingtai City, Hebei Province), Zhao State's accompanying capital.

"The Family of Zhao" records: "In the 20th year of Chenghou, Wei Xianrong Ran was thought to be a Tantai." "The Records of Zhao" also says: "The King of Zhao built Tantai and had a palace, which was used as a capital for Zhao to serve as a capital for the princes, so it was called Xindu."

When Zhao Wangdan went to the capital this time, he had his own political and military considerations.

In the 18th year of the Marquis of Chenghou of Zhao (357 BC), a war broke out between Zhao and Wei.

Pang Juan, the famous general of Wei State, who is now Pang Xian's great-grandfather, led the Wei State army to invade Zhao State.

The capital of Zhao State, Handan, was conquered by Pang Juan in one fell swoop and lost for three years. At that time, Zhao State was based on Xindu and insisted on fighting against the Wei army, so that Zhao State would not cede land. Later, with the help of other countries, it recovered the capital of Handan.

"My uncle, I want to follow the example of the Battle of Zhao and Wei back then and fight against our army to the end."

Ji Kang looked at the map and whispered to himself.

After pondering for a while, Ji Kang turned around and said to Tian Guang, Han Fei and Ju Wu behind him: "Since my uncle has been in the front line to boost morale, I also want to go and write to our army in front line, what do you think?"

Ji Kang's words made Tian Guang, Han Fei and Ju Wu widen their eyes.

"Your Majesty, you must not." Han Fei said anxiously.

"My king cannot take risks." Ju Wu dissuaded.

"Your Majesty, it's not a big difference whether you go to the front or not." This is the sound of Tian Guang's "silent gourd".

Ji Kang laughed, shook his head, and said to the three of them:

"Although our Yan Kingdom has been established for more than 700 years, I want to be the founding king and unify the world. Since I want to be the founding king, how can I not come to the forefront in person? I don't understand military affairs?"

Tian Guang, Han Fei and Ju Wu suddenly understood what Ji Kang meant.

At this time, Yan State was different from the Yan State in the past.

Since Ji Kang ascended the throne, he has been determined to unify the Central Plains. Yan State can no longer be limited to the northern part of the Central Plains as before.

What my king just said was to regard himself as the pioneering lord of a country, rather than a founding lord.

There is a big gap between the founding lord and the founding lord.

Since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, all founding kings have been enterprising and dared to make decisions and take risks, which can lay the foundation for the country for hundreds of years; while the founding kings lack the spirit of active and enterprising spirit, and can defend the territory left by their ancestors, and can be called a wise king.

Obviously, many of Ji Kang's current practices are the practices of a founding lord.

Since the king of his family has been reforming, reforming, changing customs, developing industries, etc. The Yan State has become so powerful today, which is inseparable from the active and enterprising and hardworking of his family.

"I have never seen my uncle since I was a child. I have reached this point in my country of Yan and Zhao. I want to ask me this uncle. This time, let me meet him in front of the formation!"

Ji Kang smiled and said to everyone.

Seeing that Ji Kang had made the final decision, everyone looked at each other and stopped persuading each other.

The 300,000 troops of Yan State had already arrived at the city of Xindu at this time, which was enough to protect the safety of his own king.

Just as his king said just now, since King Dan of Zhao can go to the front in person to boost morale, Ji Kang, as the king of a country, can naturally do so, and this also has a great impact on the morale of the military and civilians of Yan State.
