Chapter 93: The Panicked Yan Kingdom

In early August of the ninth year of Qianyuan, Zhao State gathered troops from all over the country in Jinyang and vowed to attack Yan.

In mid-August, the Zhao army divided into three groups to head towards the Zhaoyan border.

In September, Zhao Xin, the Supreme Commander of the Zhao army, came to Puyin in person, and the war was about to begin.

In the Yan State, Guangyang County, Jicheng, and Yan State Palace, the Yan King summoned all ministers to discuss solutions late at night.

"You are all the people in Zhao army are approaching, what should I do?" The King of Yan on the throne was a little panicked, mainly because Zhao State was so powerful this time and it was very scary.

The State of Zhao has not attacked Yan before, but every time it is tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people. Although the scale is not small, Yan can handle it calmly. However, this time, Zhao obviously has to take serious action. The whole country has 400,000 soldiers, which is the rhythm of not giving up until it destroys its own State of Yan.

The Yan State is no longer as before. In the past, Yan State could fight back and forth with Zhao State. However, since the evil star Zhao Xin took over the army, Yan State has completely become a target for Zhao State. He can fight as long as he wants. Over the years, Yan State has lost no less than 100,000 elite troops. These are the elites of Yan State's battles, and they are not comparable to county soldiers.

All the ministers were talking and talking, some suggested asking for peace, some suggested asking for help from other countries, and some suggested fighting to the death. In short, there were all kinds of people, but there was no unified opinion.

"King, General Le Lei is asking for a visit!" At this time, the eunuch came in and said.

"General Le is here? Please!" King Yan said happily. At this time, the King Yan was like a drowning man, catching a piece of wood.

Shortly after the eunuch left, a middle-aged man in armor came in and bowed, "Mr. Lelei, pay homage to the king!"

This person is Le Lei, the general of Yan State. The only famous general in the world in Yan State is currently, and it is also the hope of Yan State.

"General Le, don't be too polite. You finally come. Do you know that the Zhao army is approaching?" King Yan said excitedly. Le Lei was the only person he could use his hands to fight Zhao Xin. With him, King Yan was not so panicked.

Although Le Lei was defeated repeatedly in the face of Zhao Xin, it was also since Le Lei took over the Yan State's army that Yan State could reduce losses in the face of Zhao Xin's attack. It doesn't have to be either lost or wiped out by the entire army every time. Moreover, Le Lei has also fought the Hu people outside the pass and cried for their parents in recent years. In the hearts of the Yan State, Le Lei is the war god of Yan State.

Facing the words of King Yan, Le Lei nodded and said, "I have heard of it on the way here, but the specific situation is still unclear. Please tell me in detail."

"Guo Qing, hurry up and talk to Le Qing!" King Yan said to a minister in front of His Highness.

This person was Guo Qiyi, the prime minister of Yan State. He bowed and said, "I obey the order." After that, he looked at Le Lei and said, "General Le, this time the Zhao State has launched 400,000 troops across the country, and the troops are divided into three groups. One is Zhao State General Zhao Xin, commanding the 200,000 troops to garrison Puyin, the second is Zhao State General Zhang Qiang, commanding the 100,000 troops to garrison Daijun border, and the third is Zhao State General Sima Chong, commanding the 100,000 troops to garrison Anping and Qinghe borders."

Le Lei frowned when he heard this. He knew that this time it was trouble. Zhao State was coming to destroy the country, and his old opponent Zhao Xin was also stationed in Puyin. This is very close to Zhuo County, the core of Yan State, and Guangyang County.

"General, what are the countermeasures?" Seeing Le Lei silent for a long time, the King of Yan asked quickly.

Le Lei said: "Go back to the king, I think Zhao must be here to destroy our Great Yan this time."

"What else can I do? Zhao State is coming in a fierce manner, can it be stopped." The ministers were shocked. Although they had already guessed that Zhao State was here to destroy the country this time, they were just speculations. But now Le Lei is already sure, is there any fake? They are now worried about whether Yan State can survive. After all, Le Lei is a defeated player in Zhao Xin's hands. God knows whether he can stop Zhao Xin.

"Quiet! How can you let the noise above the hall be there?" Le Lei looked at the disturbing court and was immediately angry and shouted.

When everyone saw Le Lei getting angry, they all calmed down. Seeing this, Le Lei couldn't help but shake his head, feeling bitter in his heart. He didn't expect that even the important officials of Yan State had no confidence in Yan State, so how should we fight this battle?

Seeing that all the ministers were suppressed, Le Lei said to King Yan: "You don't need to worry. As the saying goes, soldiers come to block the water and soil. Although the Zhao army is strong, our big Yan is not without the strength to fight."

"Why don't you know what good ideas Leqing has? Let me tell you quickly." King Yan was very happy when he saw that Le Lei had a countermeasure.

Le Lei said: "Back to the king, the entire country of Zhao came. In order to deal with the offensive of the Zhao army, our Dayan must also gather troops from all over the country."

After hearing this, everyone nodded repeatedly, "Isn't that right?" Zhao State sent all the troops of the entire country, and you still have the nerve to hide it. This is no longer an ordinary battle, but a battle of national destiny. If you don't try your best, just wait for destruction."

"Okay, I'll order the troops from all over the country to gather and wait for Le Qing's order." The King of Yan did not hesitate and agreed to Le Lei's proposal to gather troops from all over the country. Of course, he had no other way.

Seeing that King Yan was so decisive, Le Lei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and thought to himself: Fortunately, the king is still a little bloody and cannot be beaten.

Le Lei continued: "King, after assembling the army, the next step is to give up Dai County."

"What! How can I give up Dai County?" Le Lei's words once again caused an uproar in the court.

"Leqing, why did you give up Dai County? Do you know that Dai County has been planning for a long time and putting in a lot of effort to get it. How could you give up easily?" The King of Yan was a little reluctant. This was the territory of a county. How could he give up just by saying that he would give up? More importantly, this was the only time he had expanded his territory during his reign. This was a merit that could be recorded in the history of the Yan State. Without Dai County, what would he write into the history of history?

Le Lei also knew that the King of Yan had a deep obsession with Dai County. Since the King of Yan ascended the throne, he had been thinking about how to defeat Zhao State, but he had been thinking about how to annex Dai State all day long. Now it has finally come true, how could the King of Yan be willing to give up like this?

But Le Lei's attitude was very firm, and he bowed and said, "My king, I also know that Da Yan has paid a lot for Dai County, but Dai County has just obtained it, and the remnants of Dai State are still in chaos in Dai County. If Da Yan still has Dai County, we must dispatch heavy troops to suppress Dai County. In this way, we cannot concentrate our efforts against Yan State. Moreover, Zhang Chuan's army stationed in Dai County also valued this point. Instead of guarding the useless Dai County and wasting troops, it is better to take back the troops and station in Guangyang. I hope the king will think twice!"

"This..." King Yan was still very unwilling to accept it, but Le Lei had already made it clear. Dai County was a hot potato for Yan State, a time bomb that could explode at any time. Moreover, Zhao State also saw this, which made Zhang Chuan garrison on the border.

Le Lei didn't say anything, just looked at King Yan quietly. He knew that King Yan would definitely make the right decision. Compared with the entire Yan State, a small Dai County was nothing.

"Oh!" After a long time, the King of Yan sighed and said, "Leqing's words make sense. Keeping Dai County will not help Da Yan at all. If that's the case, then withdraw all the troops, horses, food and military funds in Dai County."
