Zhao Wuji was extremely frustrated. Since the ancestor of Zhao Wuling, King Zhao, promoted Hu clothing and cavalry, his national strength has been booming, and his strength has overwhelmed the countries. At its peak, the entire Zhao State maintained a permanent military force of more than 200,000 people. If the private armed forces of the noble lords in the country were added, Zhao State could pull out a combat force of millions at any time when needed. Such a huge force once made the Hu tribes around the Central Plains countries tremble. Even now, the strength of Zhao State has declined, not as good as that of the past, but the permanent military of more than 100,000 people is the second strongest in the world among the Central Plains countries. When is it the turn of Yan State to bully?

Gently rubbing his forehead, I have to say that Ye Tiannan is indeed a big expert in layout. Yan State is not strong, but he cleverly used the hostile forces around Zhao State to attack Zhao State at the same time, which made it very difficult for Zhao Wuji to do.

The Huns were evil wolves, Qin was a fierce tiger, Qi was just a hungry dog, and Yan was just a disgusting rat, but now the mouse wanted to steal food. The Huns and Qin were confidants, and Yan was just a disease of mustard ringworm. It was obvious at a glance that Ye Tiannan wanted to use the psychology of Zhao, which was also the biggest reason for his troops. Zhao could not fight a big battle with Yan for these five cities, because in the end, Yan was indeed defeated, but Zhao was very likely to be taken advantage of by the Huns and Qin. The Huns were not in the land, but they just wanted to plunder and make unexpected fortunes, but Qin was now aggressive and the intention of unifying ** was fully revealed.

"Even if our country of Zhao is difficult now, it is not something you, Yan State can afford to provoke." Zhao Wuji turned around several circles in the hall and said gritting his teeth, "Ye Tiannan, if you want to fight, I will give you a war."

"The King!" The eunuch walked over carefully: "The Prime Minister, the Grand Marshal and the others are all asking for a visit outside."

"Let them come in!" Zhao Wuji clapped his hands and ordered.

"Yes, the king!" The eunuch retreated quietly, but Zhao Wuji found a huge map from the big case, spread it on the gold bricks, and looked at it carefully.

Zhao Qi, Zhao She, Zi Li, Zilan, Zizhang and others came in one after another. Looking at Zhao Wuji's appearance, everyone looked at each other, but some were worried and some were excited.

Zhao Wuji raised his head and saw everyone's expressions. "No need to say, this time it's not that we want to fight, but that Yan State wants to add war to us, and we have to deal with the war. If we don't fight, we will lose face. Among the countries, we will never have the face to gain a foothold. If we fight, we may not lose."

Zhao Wuji sat on the map with his feet, looked at everyone, and pointed his hand around him. "Sit!"

The crowd sat cross-legged. Gongzilan looked at the map and couldn't hide his worries: "King, although Yan State is not worth worrying, Ye Tiannan will definitely raise all the elites of Yan State, but we cannot deal with him wholeheartedly. Compared with Ye Tiannan, Qin State is a major concern. When the war in the west is together, Qin State in the east will definitely take advantage of the situation, and the Huns must knock in. The only person who is likely to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight is Tian Dan, but even so, we will find it difficult to deal with it!"

"I know." Zhao Wuji nodded heavily, "Although that's the case, I have to fight this battle. Zilan, your territory is in Dai County, facing the Huns, and this time I may have to make a sacrifice."

"Is the king ready to withdraw from the army there?" Zilan said in surprise.

"Yes, where are your permanent troops? I want to transfer them to Hedong." Zhao Wuji nodded, "Li Xin, Qin State, raised a large number of troops in Hedong. Li Xin is different from the King of the Huns. What the Huns want is wealth, but what the Qin State wants is land and population."

"The King, the Huns gathered their troops this time, and they were afraid that the troops of their subordinates who rely entirely on their territories would be unable to resist the opponent's troops." Zilan said in embarrassment.

"Didn't Dai County have been building city walls to resist the Huns over the years? The national treasury has invested a lot of money every year. How has it been done?" Zhao Wuji asked.

"The construction of the city wall connecting the entire Dai County is so huge. The king has only completed the place where the Huns often invaded, and it has not been connected at all. It is just a sieve. The Hun cavalry came and went like the wind, and we could not predict that they would invade from there." Zilan said helplessly.

"This is also impossible. Zilan, Dai County can only concentrate its troops and preserve some important cities and strategic points. Give up other places for the time being!" Zhao Wuji said firmly, "The standing army of Dai County must be transferred to Hedong."

"King, Dai County is also the territory of Zhao State!" Zilan almost begged that Dai County is not only the territory of Zhao State, but also the fief of Tazilan.

"I will compensate you after this matter." Zhao Wuji doesn't want to continue this topic anymore. "There were originally 50,000 permanent troops in Hedong. After the 20,000 permanent troops in Dai County were transferred, they gathered 70,000 troops. In addition, Zhao She, the private army of Jinyang County, used 100,000 troops to deal with Li Xin, which should be able to stop his troops. Zhao She, Jinyang is your fiefdom, how about you? "

Zhao She shook his head repeatedly: "The king, Li Xin is famous generals in the world, and I can't help but defeat him. I recommend General Zhao Mu to go to command. I am willing to plan food and supplies for General Zhao Mu."

"Zhao Mu? I want to use him to teach the Yan people a lesson!" Zhao Wuji hesitated for a moment.

"Ye Tiannan of Yan State is just a clown who jumped into the beam. I need Zhao Mu to take action. I ask myself to be a general." Zhao Qi said loudly. "I don't need Your Majesty to mobilize the standing army, but only every adult here. Of course, Zilan cannot be included. Each person supports me 5,000 people. All mobilized in my territory. 5,000 young and strong people should be collected, which is enough to deal with the Yan people."

"Although the civil strife in Yan State has just subsided, Ye Tiannan sent troops and sent elite troops to Yan State. Can you win the battle?" Zhao Wuji asked.

"I, the warrior of Zhao, can you compare with Yan people!" Zhao Qi said proudly: "Although I haven't fought for decades, it's easy to deal with Yan State."

"I support. Lord Zhao Qi is also my Zhao State's longest general. With rich experience, and with such arrangements, Lord Zhao Qi has gathered tens of thousands of soldiers in his hands, which is enough to deal with the Yan people. In fact, even if he cannot win, it is not worth worrying. As long as he is unbeaten, Ye Tiannan has just taken the throne. As long as this battle is delayed, it will become a protracted war and a war of attrition. Ye Tiannan's status is unstable, and the voices against him in the country will inevitably rise. In this way, we can force them to sign a peace agreement." Zizhang nodded in agreement.

"That's how it's decided." Seeing that all the ministers had no objection, Zhao Wuji immediately made the decision, "Zizhang, you are the inner historian, prepare for a mission to Chu. Qin wants to take advantage of the situation, and I don't think Chu will watch Qin so arrogant."

"Yes, the king, I will definitely persuade Chu to send troops here, but what do we need to pay?" Zizhang bowed and said, "There is no free lunch in the world, and the king and ministers of Chu will not be unable to see the current dilemma of Zhao. If you don't take the opportunity to make a request, it would be strange."

"Tell the King of Chu that I, Zhao, will bear half of the military expenses he sent to the army this time. If he gains something, I, Zhao, will not take any money." Zhao Wuji said.

"I understand."

The king, the Xiongnu, Qin, and Yan had already made some countermeasures. What should Qi do?" Zili asked.

"Qi State is not worth worrying. As long as Qin State cannot defeat me, and Chu State takes the opportunity to send troops to Qin State, Tian Dan will inevitably retract." Zhao Wuji sneered, "But if we are defeated in Hedong, Qi State will send troops to bite us. The key to this battle is Hedong. Zhao Mu blocks the Qin army and Zhao Qi can defeat Yan State, so we have the spare time in other places."

"Your Majesty, it is better to send an envoy to Wei State and ask the King of Wei to lend a helping hand. As long as the King of Wei makes a gesture, Qi State will definitely be careful and take back their extended grabs." Zizhang suggested.

"That's good." Zhao Wuji nodded, "Zizhang went to Chu State and went to Wei State by the way. The prime minister of Wei State is greedy and good at wealth. You bring more wealth and beauties to your preferences, and you don't have to be stingy with money."

"Abide by the king's order."

"My dear masters, if I win in this battle, I can show my power of Zhao**. The national strength of Zhao should be safe and stable for decades. If I lose, Zhao should be in a storm. You are all the strong and friendly with the country. At this time of crisis, you should work together to fight against foreign aggression. You must not be bothered. When Zhao rises, you will be prosperous. If you are declining, you will be unconscious. You should reflect on yourself." Zhao Wuji stood up and glanced at everyone. Everyone here was important officials of Zhao, but they were also in constant interest disputes. They each had their own ulterior motives. At this critical situation, Zhao Wuji had to hit them hard.

"I wish to prosper with the country!" The ministers stood up together and bowed to Zhao Wuji and made a promise.

"Everyone, let's encourage each other!" Zhao Wuji nodded with relief. These people were still aware of the generalities.

Chunyu Yan prepared his clothes in the inn and waited for the officials of Zhao State to expel him. He was prepared in his heart and seemed extremely calm. He sat high in the inn, with a lot of wine and meat, drinking with his arms. He went to Zhao State many times, but this time he felt relieved. He exhaled a breath of anger in his heart.

"Sir, the doctor of Zhao State Shang Gongzi Lan is visiting!" The waiter walked in and bowed back to report.

"Zi Lan? I didn't expect that he was coming to drive me away. It seemed that he was going to break up with me?" Chunyu Yan stood up with a smile, "Please, please!"

If Chunyu Yan had a friend in Zhao State, then Zilan could barely be considered one.

"Brother Zilan, you didn't expect it to be you coming?" Looking at the sad young master Lan, Chunyu Yan smiled and greeted him. "I have already made some clothes. Your king, how do you want me to reply to the despise king?"
