Chapter 377 Attack

Handan, embassy.

The starry night twinkled. This was a noble place where envoys from the six countries gathered, but now it was surrounded by soldiers of the Zhao army.

"Who are you? Do you know that I am the envoy of Yan State?"

The envoys from Yan State kept shouting, but no one answered him. He was ordered by King Yan and entrusted by Prince Yan in order to negotiate peace with Zhao. But he didn't understand why Zhao's soldiers suddenly surrounded him.

Not to mention that Yan and Zhao are not at war yet, even if they are already at war, there is no reason to detain the envoys.

When the Yan envoy was anxious, he saw Zhao Jun's soldiers separated and a familiar figure came over.

"Prime Minister Zhao, you came just in time. Whose soldiers are these? Why are they surrounding my post house?"

However, to Yan Shi's surprise, Guo Kai was not as cold as before. He didn't even look at him and waved his sleeves lightly.

"The truth came out that there were some gangsters causing chaos in the embassy, ​​so I led troops to search."

Following Guo Kai's order, Zhao Jun's soldiers rushed in.

"Bad guy, this..."

When the Yan envoy looked confused, he saw Zhao Jun's soldiers bringing out a groggy young man from the embassy.

"He...who is he?"

When the Yan envoy was confused, he saw Guo Kai turned his head and smiled coldly.

"This is the young master Qian of our Zhao Kingdom. What do you think, the envoy of Yan?"

"This...I don't know this!"

Yan Shi didn't know how to defend himself, but he saw Guo Kai waving his sleeves and yelling angrily.

"Take it!"

"Prime Minister Zhao, I was wronged! Prime Minister Zhao, I really don't know why Young Master Qian is here..."

As the voice of the Yan State envoy gradually faded away, Guo Kai looked sinister and said coldly.

"Of course you don't know!"

Zhao Jun's soldiers brought the young master to Guo Kai, but he was still awake.

"Send the young master back to the palace and let the queen take care of him."

After a storm ended, Wei Liao smiled slightly as he watched the lights go out and the figures disperse in the distant pavilion.

"This play is really good!"

A slightly deep male voice came. Wei Liao did not turn around, but already knew his identity.

"Chu Nan Gong! Are you coming to Handan too?"

"Ye Di is so lively, I want to come and join in the fun."

Duke Nan of Chu came up and stood side by side with Wei Liao.

"Just, why did you come?"

"The Nine Cities in Ye are a small corner of the country, but they affect the situation of the four kingdoms of Qin, Zhao, Yan, and Wei. I was entrusted by someone, so naturally I have to come and see what the person who planned this situation is like?"

"Are you talking about Lord Han Yang?" Chu Nan Gong said, paused, and looked at Wei Liao, "Have you seen him?"

Wei Liao didn't say anything, just smiled, but Chu Nan Gong already knew the answer.

"In order to deal with a hungry wolf, King Yan invited a more greedy tiger. After so many years, King Yan has realized that if this tiger is allowed to eat the meat of the hungry wolf bit by bit, then the tiger will have no meat. But when it’s time to eat, he’s next.”

Hearing Chu Nan Gong's words, Wei Liao smiled.

"How can old grudges be resolved so easily? King Yan wants a step so that he and the Yan Kingdom can step down. But how can that tiger be let go?"

"Yes! But will King Zhao send troops because of this?"

"This hungry wolf is already extremely hungry. Once it smells blood, it will pounce on it. What's more, even if King Zhao can stop thinking of using troops, the person behind this will not let it go easily."

Wei Liao's words made Chu Nan Gong fall into deep thought. After a while, Duke Nan of Chu asked a question.

"How is Zhao Shuang?"

"Don't you have your own answer, Mr. Chu Nan?"

Chu Nan Gong shook his head and spoke slowly.

"I once visited his territory. I saw that the people were pragmatic and the population was prosperous. Although the land was remote, the crops were not wasted. Although there was hard work, no complaints were heard. I knew his talent for governance, and I didn't know anything else."

"In this case, let's look at this situation and we will know."

"The Yan people are thieves, the Yan people are thieves..."

In the court hall, King Zhao cursed loudly and was extremely angry.

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

All the ministers expressed their opinions and admonished the King of Zhao. Of course, this is just convention.

"Instruct me to let Li Mu lead the army to attack Yan State today."

King Zhao's words suddenly caused the courtiers who had the same opinion to talk about it. Young Master Jia even ran out and admonished.

"Father, no! Now the Qin people are on the side, watching eagerly. It is unwise to send troops to attack Yan at this time. What's more, General Li Mu has gone to Yan, who will stop the Qin army?"

"Young Master, I don't agree with this." Guo Kai, who was standing by at the moment, said angrily, "We, Zhao, have hundreds of thousands of armors and many powerful generals, so why is there only one Li Mu? If nothing else, in the In the dynasty, Hu Zou and Yan Ju are all talented generals; among the clan members, Zhao Cong is also a god in his military skills."

Gongzi Jia stood up and looked at Guo Kai, his eyes like knives, as if he wanted to scratch him.

"You must have said the same thing when you persuaded my father to seize General Lianpo's military power in the past!"

Guo Kai looked horrified and knelt down, his voice sad.

"Your Majesty, the young master keeps insisting on this matter. I really don't know why?"

"That's enough!" King Zhao was furious, "Are you dissatisfied with the Prime Minister, or are you dissatisfied with me?"

Gongzijia knelt down and knocked his head on the ground, unable to see his face clearly.

"I have decided to attack Yan. Our defense line in Ye has been completed. Relying on the advantage of Zhang River, boats and cars are coming. Even if the Qin army comes, there is nothing to fear!"

"Father, think twice!"

Gongzijia tried to persuade him again and again, but all he got in exchange was the cold voice of King Zhao.

"Since you don't want to stay in Handan anymore, go to Daidi!"

Guo Kai was delighted. The battle for the crown prince of Zhao State has now been decided.

"Your Majesty, think twice! The young master was just confused for a moment and did not mean to contradict the king."

Above the court, a group of ministers tried to persuade him, but it was difficult to reverse.

Summer is hot.

The sunlight passed through the gaps in the trees, and when it hit the ground, it was dazzling.

Zhao Shuang was lying on the verandah, enjoying the cool air. Concubine Yan was behind, cooking soup to relieve the heat on the stove. And the Moon God was lying by the pond, playing with the fish in the pond.

The door opened, and Li Ji returned from shopping for groceries, but she brought back a piece of news.

"Everyone is saying today that King Zhao has decided to raise his troops to attack Yan."

For a moment, Concubine Yan, who was making soup, stopped what she was doing, while Luna, who was teasing the fish, turned her head.

Everyone looked at Zhao Shuang, who was unhurried and still looking leisurely. When the three of them saw this, they each went about their own business.

A black feather fell. Above the eaves, a black shadow fell.

Soon, the man climbed down from the eaves and half-knelt in front of Zhao Shuang.

"Li Mu's army has entered the land of Yan and has arrived at Licheng to fight the Yan army. Li Mu is fighting very hastily, and he is afraid that the Yan army will be defeated soon."

Zhao Shuang sat up and looked solemn.

"The military plane has arrived!"
