King Yan looked at Li Fu with some surprise. He looked at Li Fu helplessly and asked: "The State of Zhao has never invaded us, so why should we attack the State of Zhao?" Li Fu said seriously: "Go up. Sir, although the State of Zhao has never invaded the State of Yan, he has always regarded the State of Yan as an enemy rather than a friend. The people of Zhao have insulted you many times. Isn’t this a reason for revenge?"
King Yan waved his hand and said, "I heard that a gentleman can forgive other people's mistakes. I don't care about it." Li Fu was furious and said, "Your Majesty! Now is the best time to attack Zhao. The people of Qin have agreed. Well, we are going to destroy the State of Zhao. After the State of Zhao is destroyed, the Qin people will divide Dai County and Yunzhong County to the State of Yan." King Yan frowned and asked again: "Will this belong to the Qin people? What’s the plan?”
Li Fu looked at the beauties around King Yan, and his expression became increasingly ugly. King Yan then signaled the beauties to leave. Only King Yan and Li Fu were left in the palace. Li Fu then said: " This is the strategy of the Qin people. The Zhao people are short of food, and the Qin people are not much better. The Qin people want to use our hands to destroy the Zhao State. As for Daijun and Yunzhong County, the Qin people do not abide by morality. Yes, they will never give it to us."
King Yan was shocked and asked: "If this is the case, then why do you want to attack Zhao?"
"Your Majesty, who do you think has more cities between the Yan State and the Wei State?"
"Wei State."
"Then do you think the wealth of Yan State is greater than that of Qi State?"
"Qi State."
"Comparing Yan State's soldiers with Zhao State, who has more soldiers?"
"Zhao Guo."
Li Fu then said: "The State of Yan is not as wealthy as the State of Qi, does not have as fertile farmland as the State of Wei, and does not have as many elite soldiers as the State of Zhao. In today's world, countries annex each other, and even a country as powerful as Zhao State has It is difficult to protect itself. If the Yan State is content with the status quo and cannot take advantage of the opportunity to become strong, then the Yan State will definitely not escape the fate of being destroyed. If it waits for the Qin people to destroy Zhao, who will be destroyed after the Qin people destroy the Zhao State? ?”
"If the Zhao people defeat the Qin State, gain Shangdang County, and become stronger, who will they target?" Li Fu said loudly: "The reason why I attacked the Hu people before was to make Yan The country has the strength to fight in the Central Plains. Now Yan State has nearly 100,000 soldiers and 5,000 chariots! In normal times, Yan State would not be Zhao State's opponent, but now the empty Zhao State can easily be defeated by Yan State. It can be captured."
"If you miss this opportunity, Yan will never be able to raise its head again." Li Fu advised bitterly.
King Yan took another sip of wine and said, "Then let's do what you told me." Li Fu laughed, very happy, and said, "Please send someone to call Lord Chang, Ju Xin and other ministers. Let's discuss this matter together." King Yan agreed and sent people to invite these ministers. In terms of military strategy, Yan relied on Prime Minister Li Fu, but in terms of marching and fighting, it relied on Lord Chang. Fun room.
These two are the right-hand men of King Yan.
When the ministers gathered at the palace, Li Fu stood up and talked about the crusade against Zhao in a leisurely manner. As soon as he finished speaking, Lord Chang Guo Lejian stood up in a hurry, his face was pale, and he said "You are not trying to destroy the State of Zhao, you are trying to destroy the State of Yan!" Li Fu frowned and said displeasedly: "The soldiers of the State of Zhao are all in Shangdang County and cannot return to aid. This is It’s the best time to destroy Zhao State, why do you say that?”
Lejian looked at King Yan and said seriously: "Your Majesty, this is the plan of the Qin people. We don't have to attack Zhao. As long as the fact that we want to attack Zhao is leaked, the soldiers of Zhao in Changping will definitely be
With great fear and demoralized troops, the Qin people will take this opportunity to defeat the Zhao people and follow the trend. At that time, Yan's crusade army may encounter elite Qin soldiers who have not experienced many casualties."
"This is something that is good for Qin and not good for Yan." Le Jian said.
King Yan hesitated, and Li Fu said hurriedly: "What you said is wrong. The commander of the Zhao people is Lian Po. It is not easy for the Qin people to defeat them. Moreover, the Qin people are marching long distances to Zhao, and they lack food and soldiers."
Tired, how could they fight Yan and Zhao at the same time?"
"You are wrong. Although the State of Zhao is powerful, its kings do not have the courage to invade other countries. It is not the biggest threat to the State of Yan. However, the State of Qin is a country like tigers and wolves. Are you willing to cooperate with the State of Yan?
Would you rather have cattle and sheep as neighbors, or would you rather have tigers and wolves as neighbors?"
Li Fu looked at Le Jian seriously and said: "I want to slaughter cattle and sheep and capture tigers and wolves alive. And I know that in Yan State, you are the only one who can do these things. Please help me and serve as the commander-in-chief of the army.
Let's conquer the State of Zhao." Le Jian sneered and said: "I don't agree with your idea of conquering the State of Zhao, and I will not be the commander-in-chief. The State of Zhao has experienced many wars, and the people are proficient in military affairs. In this kind of situation,
In times of crisis, I will resist tenaciously, not to mention that this matter is only beneficial to the Qin State, and I will not go to attack the Zhao State."
Before Li Fu could speak, Minister Qing Qin said with a smile: "The father of Lord Chang is still in Zhao, so naturally he will not go to attack Zhao. I am willing to serve as the commander-in-chief and attack Zhao." Lejian was furious.
, stood up suddenly, but King Yan gave him a cold look and said: "Please step back." Lejian gritted his teeth and said: "Please don't send people to attack Zhao Guo, I will
It is not because of other reasons that I object, I am just like this because I am worried about major events in Yan State."
"Back off!" King Yan said angrily.
Le Jian smiled, the smile was a little bitter, and he turned and left.
Li Fu sighed, and then said: "Your Majesty, Lord Chang is the most capable general of the Yan Kingdom. Please don't treat him like this. Although he does not agree with my thoughts, he only said this because he was worried about the Yan Kingdom.
What he said is not because of his own personal affairs." King Yan nodded, and Li Fu said: "Since Lord Chang is unwilling to go, I am willing to command an army of 60,000 people and 2,000 chariots, and divide the troops into three groups.
, Qing Qin and Ju Xin each led the way to attack Zhao."
"Ju Xin?" A trace of displeasure flashed on King Yan's face, and he looked at the veteran minister sitting among the ministers. Ju Xin, like Li Fu, was a guest of the Zhao State back then, and he was also Pang Nuan.
friends, so Pang Nuan has lived for so long, and most of his time has been spent making friends, and these friends of his are very long-lived, such as Lou Chang’s father Lou Huan, Yan State’s Prime Minister Li Fu, and this
Luckily, it's no wonder so many people want to be his friends.
However, his life in the Yan Kingdom was not good. When Gongsun Cao killed the king and established the current King of Yan, he was opposed to it... Therefore, in these years, the King of Yan did not give him a good look.
The implementation of reforms in the Yan State made the Yan State develop well and made many people respect him. If not for this, I am afraid that he would have been killed by the King of Yan. The King of Yan heard that Li Fu wanted to make him his general.
, his face suddenly changed, and he said: "It's better to divide the troops into two groups. You and Qing Qin go to attack."
Ju Xing, who was sitting among the crowd, brightened up after hearing Li Fu's words, but quickly dimmed after King Yan's order. He sat there with his head lowered and said nothing.
Li Fu sighed, looked at Qing Qin, and said: "Please make preparations, gather your soldiers, and attack the State of Zhao as soon as possible. You must take advantage of the fact that Qin and Zhao have not decided the winner, and fight for the State of Yan."
Get enough benefits."
"knew."
In October, the soldiers of Yan State were divided into two groups. In the name of Zhao people insulting the King of Yan, they formally declared war on Zhao State and vowed to take revenge.
