The Yan people probably never thought that they would be betrayed by their allies. Of course, if their record was better and they were not defeated by Zhao State again and again, even if they showed a little combat power, the Qin people would not abandon this traditional ally. The Yan State's achievements over the years have really disappointed the Qin people. Their combat power is not even as good as that of Han. Although they are behind Zhao State, they do not pose any threat to Zhao State. Instead, they need Qin State to protect them so as not to be annexed.

Qin could not bear such an allies. The King of Qin and Lu Buwei agreed to Gan Luo's proposal. Instead of spending energy to protect this ally, it would be better to work with Zhao to dig more meat from him to eat. Qin also needed to expand its strength in Hebei. Through Meng Ao's repeated attacks on Wei, Qin had cut off all the relationship between Wei and Hebei, making it impossible for Zhao and Yan to come to join Wei as casually as before.

Qin was still moving forward according to its own strategy of annexing the Three Jins. If he wanted to realize his strategy, he naturally had to expand his land in Hebei, surrounded Zhao, and abandon his waste allies... King Zhao looked at the child in front of him and felt both happy and afraid. What he was happy about was that Zhao could boldly annexing the Yan State, and what he was worried about was Gan Luo.

A child of Qin has such courage and strategy. What a powerful country. Although the King of Zhao thought so, he did not dare to detain Gan Luo and killed him alive. As the king of a powerful country, he believed that he was not as shameless as this level and attacked a child. Of course, King Zhao was still deliberately trying to win over Gan Luo. King Zhao's eldest son Jia was much younger than Gan Luo.

He heard that a Qin State sent a child to serve as an envoy, and he was curious to see Ganluo. Ganluo was in the palace all day long and was quite happy to see him. So he often chatted with him, which was considered as bringing something out of his mouth. Zhao Jia was very young, but he was very kind. After meeting Ganluo a few times, he fell in love with this big brother and was entangled behind him all day long.

"Can you stay in Zhao?"

"No..."

"If you can stay in Zhao State, I can give you all my toys!"

Gan Luo chuckled, stroked his head, and asked, "Why do you want me to stay so much?" Zhao Jia widened his eyes and said seriously, "Because you have the ability and ability... I really like to be with smart people... When I grow up, I will definitely gather all the talents in the world to me!"

Ganluo smiled again, but didn't say anything.

At this time, Pang Gong and Li Mu both received the order of King Zhao. King Zhao asked them to attack Yan State with all their might and capture the city with all their might. The army led by Li Mu was not suitable for siege, so he could only take the army to wander around and cut off the connection between the Yan State's cities, so that the orders of King Yan could not leave the capital. This is what Ma Fujun said, and Li Mu remembered it very clearly.

The veteran general Pang Xian brought the main army to attack the city of Yan. At that moment, the King of Yan was really frightened, but there was no minister in the country who could discuss these matters. The King of Yan could only make the decision to resist the enemy. The King of Yan immediately ordered the strengthening of the defense of the capital and ordered all the people in the royal city to come out to assist in the defense. The King of Yan did not think about the city outside the royal city at all. He just wanted to save himself.

After not receiving rescue from the royal city, the county magistrates in various parts of Yan State were a little desperate. Some chose to commit suicide, while others chose to surrender. In just a few months, Pang Gong actually captured thirty cities in Shanggu. This was even more amazing than Meng Ao's advancement speed. Even Li Mu was very surprised. He felt that if he was responsible for the attack, he might not be as outstanding as Pang Gong.

Unfortunately, all Pang Gong could do was probably just this. If he continued to advance north, the Zhao army would face a long supply line and the deadly cold. The Liaodong people living here could adapt to such a climate, but the Zhao soldiers who came from Handan and from the river could not bear it. After the army was frozen to death, Pang Gong hurriedly stopped his continued advancement towards Yan. He gathered the army in the capital of Yan and prepared to completely destroy Yan.

The King of Yan had already made arrangements in the royal city. After surrounding the city, Pang Gong launched several attacks, but none of them could break through the city. Just like Ju Xin had seen this scene a long time ago. When he was attacking Zhao, he left two deputy generals, one responsible for strengthening the city defense of the royal city, while the other person followed him with his soldiers. If the war was not going well, he would return to the royal city immediately.

It was precisely because of Ju Xin's last two deployments that the royal city of Yan State became a difficult bone. Pang Gong was stalemate here for a while but failed to capture it successfully. At this time, he received the order from King Zhao, asking him to return with his army. It turned out that the country of Zhao was a bit short of food and could no longer continue to supply the army. Pang Gong left Yan State.

The King of Yan originally wanted to seize the five cities that were captured, but now he has not been able to regain the city, but has lost thirty cities! Everyone doesn't know whether the King of Yan feels regretful. He only knows that the King of Yan has been immersed in wine and sweetness since then, and no longer mentions the attack on other countries and broaden the territory. Li Mu returned to Handan first, so the King of Zhao naturally wanted to come out to greet him in person.

King Zhao held a banquet to entertain Li Mu and gave him a lot of fiefs, weapons, retainers, etc. Li Mu completely became the most powerful vassal in Zhao, with the vastest fiefdom. King Zhao respected Li Mu very much, and even favored Li Mu. This kind of pampering was even deeper than Guo Kai and Jianxinjun. Guo Kai was a little jealous of Li Mu, but he did not dare to provoke Li Mu at all.

It’s okay for Jianxin Jun. He respected Li Mu very much because of King Zhao’s preference. Li Mu also had a very good sense of King Zhao. In the eyes of different people, King Zhao was different. Some people thought he was mediocre, while others thought he was wise... When King Zhao held a banquet and was entertaining Li Mu, Pang Gong was sitting in the chariot and was also rushing towards Handan... Pang Gong looked really old.

My eyes are no longer as bright as before, and my thoughts are no longer so clear.

He sat in the chariot, stroked Ju Xin's sword, frowned, and often sighed. Recently, Pang Gong always remembered the past, when he was young, when he was having fun with his friends... However, Pang Gong could not remember the appearance of those people, he had forgotten them, and he could not even remember the names of some friends... Pang Gong was not happy to defeat Yan State.

It was not because Mr. Pang forced his friend to death, but because the biggest enemy of Zhao was in the west and no longer in the east. The State of Zhao occupied these cities of Yan and could not enhance his strength in a short period of time, and Qin might not give Zhao such an opportunity. Mr. Pang was thinking in his heart how to curb the powerful Qin State, but he was still unaware of the agreement between King Zhao and Qin State.

When he brought the army to Handan, the King of Zhao sent an envoy, asking Pang Gong to disband the army first and then come to the palace to attend a banquet... The King of Zhao's attitude made Pang Gong's deputy generals a little angry. Li Mu's military achievements were obviously not as good as Pang Gong. Why did Li Mu come out to greet him personally when he returned to Handan, but Pang Gong was just an envoy? Pang Gong's envoy said angrily: "Li Mu, this shameless villain, must have stole your merits. When I see him in the future, I must humiliate him in person!"

Mr. Pang said helplessly: "The second and third sons must not be like this... Everything must be put as Zhao State first. If there is no Wu'an Jun's rescue this time, I will not be able to defeat the Yan people... Mr. Wu'an and I live in harmony, so countries dare not underestimate the Zhao State just now. If the second and third sons do not want to become a devastated country, they should not have such thoughts." Although everyone was still a little angry when they heard Mr. Pang's words, they didn't say anything more.

After dismissing the army, Pang Gong rushed to see King Zhao. At this time, King Zhao had sent Li Mu away. Li Mu once again brought the army back to the frontier, continued to guard the enemies outside the frontier, and trained the army for Zhao State. Li Mu is now in command of the whole country's army, but he still wanted to train the army in the frontier, because he felt that the soldiers here should be more brave and more good at shooting, which is very important in Li Mu's combat system.

Although King Zhao did not go to greet Mr. Pang in person, when Mr. Pang came to the palace, King Zhao was still very polite. He smiled and invited Mr. Pang to his side and helped Mr. Pang sit down. This time, when talking about Mr. Pang's contributions and his military achievements, Mr. Pang shook his head modestly, saying that these were all because of Li Mu. Mr. Pang was not sarcasm, he really hoped to give his contributions to Li Mu.

He is already very old, and Li Mu is still very young. After he leaves, Zhao State still needs someone to protect him. That person must be Li Mu. The higher the status of Li Mu, the greater the strength he can exert... Therefore, Mr. Pang gave all his contributions to Li Mu, and even told him about the danger he suffered before Li Mu arrived. King Zhao couldn't help laughing. His Wu'anjun did not disappoint him!

King Zhao then smiled and said, "After you defeated the Yan people, you suggested not paying attention to the threat of Qin and directly capturing the city of Yan. I was hesitating and waited for the envoy of Qin. Qin actually sent a twelve-year-old child to serve as the envoy. However, this child is indeed extraordinary. Unfortunately, he has left, otherwise you can still meet him!"

Pang Gong was stunned, raised his head suddenly and asked, "The Qin State sent an envoy?"

"Yes... that child, he called Ganluo...at young..."

"Shangjun, what did the Qin people say?"

King Zhao was interrupted by Pang Gong, and his face suddenly became a little unfavorable. He pondered for a moment before saying, "The Qin people want Zhao to send it back to Hejian's city, and take out some of the captured cities to give to Qin...", Mr. Pang's face suddenly turned pale, he asked, "You didn't agree to them, right?" King Zhao looked at him in surprise, and then asked, "Why don't I agree to such a good thing?"

"I gave Lu Buwei five cities, but I got thirty cities. Although the Qin people were going to eleven of these thirty cities, we still took down nineteen cities. Qin also agreed to continue to cooperate with Zhao in the future and get along with friendly relationships. What a good thing!" Mr. Pang stood up tremblingly and asked: "Did the Qin people ask for the territory that Hejian was biased towards Yan?"

"yes..."

Pang Gong sat in a daze, his eyes full of despair.

"Pang Gong? Is there anything wrong with this?"

"Shangjun, this is a short sword inserted into the abdomen of Zhao. The Qin people will soon migrate here on a large scale. This place will become the gate to destroy Hebei and the two countries..." As Pang Gong said, he stood up and said to King Zhao: "Please allow me to go out to fight immediately and take back these cities..." King Zhao frowned. Is the matter as serious as Pang Gong said?

He was still a little unbelievable, and he whispered: "There is no food and grass in the country, and even ten thousand troops can't support it..."

When King Zhao saw Pang Gong's face turned pale, his eyes were full of despair, and he gradually became a little uneasy. He asked, "It's just a few cities. As long as Zhao deploys troops here, wouldn't it be fine? What are you worried about?" Pang Gong shook his head and said, "Shangjun, Qin's troops here can cut off the connection between Zhao and the Central Plains countries, bypass important checkpoints of Zhao and directly attack Dai County... and can also surround Zhao with Shangdang Taiyuan..."

Mr. Pang said a lot, but King Zhao still didn't understand very much.

King Zhao smiled indifferently, and then said, "Don't worry, I will send an envoy to Qin and exchange cities with them." King Zhao said, and he smiled and looked at Guo Kai and Jianxin Jun beside him, and said, "Mr. Pang is so old and still cares about the major affairs of the country. This is really admirable. This is also my fault. You should be enjoying your old age..."

King Zhao vaguely had the idea of ​​asking Pang Gong to resign, but Guo Kai was about to propose, but Jianxin Jun stood up and said, "Shangjun, General Pang Qing has been fighting for many years, so he must be more informed about these things than we do. The things he said should not be underestimated, but still..."

"Shangjun said he wanted to solve the problem, why are you going to do this?" Guo Kai said unhappily: "Do you think Shangjun doesn't even know these principles?"

Mr. Pang sighed, raised his head with some fatigue, and said, "The messenger is useless. If you want to break this situation, you can only use the coalition forces to attack Qin..."
