September of the second year of King Kang of Yan was the autumn harvest season for all countries in the Central Plains.

The counties and counties of Yan State, from south to north, were successively devoted to the labor of harvesting grain.

In a restaurant in Jidu, Zheng Zhu, the envoy of Zhao who came to Jidu, looked full of melancholy.

Standing next to a window lattice on the second floor of the restaurant and looking at the bustling street below the restaurant, Zheng Zhu couldn't help but sigh.

Zheng Zhu's mission to Yan State was very unhappy.

He had been on the Yan State for several months, but he was received by the Prime Minister Su Dai. He proposed to meet Empress Dowager Yan and King Kang of Yan, but all of them were politely declined by officials of Yan State.

Since Yan and Zhao fought in the Wei and local war this year, the relationship between the two countries has reached a bottom.

Yan State also stopped supplying food to Zhao State, which was a worse problem for Zhao State.

Zheng Zhu also knew that since the Battle of Changping, the Zhao State, which was originally known as the leader of the six Kanto countries, had gradually declined from its heyday, and its national strength, military strength, and the national economy, had all shown a cliff-like decline.

However, the neighboring country in the northern part of Zhao State, Yan State is becoming increasingly powerful.

Especially after defeating the five Central Plains' plan to attack Yan this year, its reputation has reached a new height in the hearts of the people all over the world.

Thinking of this, Zheng Zhu sat back to the table, picked up the wine glass in front of him, and drank it all in one go.

The spirits produced in Liaodi are indeed good wines. But when you drink them in Zheng Zhu's mouth, you feel a little bitter.

After drinking, Zheng Zhu closed his eyes dejectedly, leaned on the chair, muttering to the side of his mouth:

"Your Majesty, I have no choice. Alas! I, Zhao, participated in the battle against Yan, was wrong, it was really wrong!"

While Zheng Zhu was sighing in the restaurant, Ji Kang and several other ministers, including Ji Mao, the director of the Supervision Institute, and Huang Yong, the Intelligence Bureau, discussed the future of Yan State in the map room of the Military Machinery Pavilion.

Han Fei and Ju Wu were recording on the side of the room.

The commander of the Gong Guard Army, Tian Guang, listened indoors.

Gao Yang Jun Rongfu stood next to the map of the world, explaining the military strategy of Yan State in the next few years to Ji Kang and others.

"Your Majesty, since the Battle of Defense and Local Areas this year, our Yan State army has been replenished. After the autumn harvest, we must devote ourselves to the active preparation state to the war in order to follow the development strategy formulated by our Yan State, and to the War of Unified Central Plains in the coming year."

Ji Kang interrupted Rongfu's words at this time and asked:

"Gen. Will the pensions of our casualties have been in place?"

Rong Fen replied to Ji Kang: "Don't worry, after this year's war, as far as I know, the county and governments in various places have paid the casualties of the soldiers to their relatives in full."

Ge Xiang, who was in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, also stood up and bowed to Ji Kangyan and said:

"Your Majesty, this matter was handled by the minister. The Ministry of Revenue has allocated sufficient funds based on the list of casualties. It has issued several official documents to various counties in succession, and local governments dare not let our king down."

Ji Kang nodded and said to the boss manager Ji Maoyan:

"The supervision agency in various places should supervise the implementation of this matter. Not only should the pension be paid in full to the relatives of the injured and injured soldiers, but it should also urge the implementation of the soldiers who returned home due to injuries."

"We cannot let our soldiers cry again after the country is bleeding. Once we find that the government has intercepted pensions and the officials who have not properly placed my disabled soldiers, we must deal with them immediately."

Although Ji Kang's words were calm, the murderous intent contained in his words made everyone startled.

There is a reason for this.

Just a few days ago, the Weiliu County Supervision Institute of Xingdong County reported that it would pay the pension for the casualties of Weiliu County, and let the county magistrate and other officials be used for other purposes.

When the Supervision Bureau investigated, the reason was quite high-sounding, saying that these casualties were all Hu Yi people, and whether they were paid or not, it didn't matter to them.

Waiting for Ji Mao, the president of the Supervisory Institute, to report the matter to Ji Kang.

Ji Kang was in the Palace of Relationship at that time and was furious.

The teacup on the desk broke the spot and cursed:

"These officials are damn. I have repeatedly emphasized that all the people registered as the Yan State household registration, regardless of their origin, are all people of our Yan State, and are treated equally without distinguishing Huyi."

"If it is now chaotic and has not been unified yet, these officials dare to act like this and regard the laws and regulations of our Yan Kingdom as if nothing is needed. If this continues, it will be great!"

"What's more, these soldiers were all injured and killed for our Yan State, and these officials were simply not sons. How do they let me face the soldiers of our Yan State? How do I face my people?"

Immediately ordered the Supervisory Court to lock all the officials in Weiliu County who violated this matter back to Jidu and deal with it according to the law. The matter was also published in the week-end report and warned officials across the country.

The boss manager Ji Mao, but he has never seen Ji Kang get so angry since he was a child. It can be seen that Ji Kang is angry about the intercepting pensions by officials in Weiliu County.

In the map room, Gao Yang Jun Rongfu and Chang Guojun Lejian, as representatives of the military, were extremely moved to see that Ji Kang attached so much importance to the pensions and resettlement of disabled soldiers.

The two looked at each other and bowed to Ji Kang together and said:

"I and the other two, on behalf of our soldiers of Yan State, I am grateful to our king."

Ji Kang waved his hand and said to Rong and Lejian:

"No need to express gratitude, this is what I should do. Well, General Rongfu continues to give to me and all the ministers, and then talk about our military plan of Yan State!"

Rong Feng bowed to Ji Kang again and said, "No."

He pointed the wooden stick in his hand at Qidi in Yan State.

"At present, the seven strongest countries in the world have become six countries. The former Qi State has always been a powerful country in the east of the Central Plains. The Qi regime has been passed down to the time of King Jian and King Wei of Qi. The hegemony established by King Wei of Qi has long become a historical record, and it has actually only possessed the reputation of a powerful country in the east."

"Its politics is backward, its economic development is slow, its country has no wise ministers and generals, and its army has no ambition to fight. Faced with the war of destroying the country launched by our Yan State, we were unprepared and waited for death. It was destroyed by our Yan State the year before yesterday, so there is no need to say much since then."

Everyone saw the wooden stick in Rongfu's hand and then pointed it at the Wei State in the west of Qi.

"Wei State also experienced the most powerful period in its early days. At that time, the Wei State had Hedong, Hexi, Henoi, and a vast area outside the rivers and mountains and rivers within its territory, and the situation was dangerous."

"But because Wei State blocked Qin Dong's throat from Hangu, he has been the primary opponent of Qin for many years, especially since King Hui of Wei, he has been defeated by Qin and his territory has gradually narrowed."

"Since my king ascended the throne, the national power of Wei State has become weaker. However, in the Battle of Handan, the Xinling Jun Wei Wuji stole the talisman and saved Zhao, especially the vassal states who united the vassal states to fight against Qin, and achieved a great victory outside the river, greatly increasing the prestige of Wei State."

"Wei State should have taken advantage of the victory to restore the territory of Wei, but the current King of Wei is stupid and incompetent. Not only does he not take the opportunity to restore the country, but he believes in the dissolution and provocation of Qin and does not trust Xinling, so that he stayed in Zhao for many years and raised troops to our Yan State. At this point, Wei State has lost the valuable opportunity to make a comeback."

Ji Kang and others in the map room nodded when they heard this.

The baton in Rongfu's hand then pointed to South Korea next to Wei State.

"Han was originally the weakest party among the Three Jins. Today, under the rule of Han Wang Ran, Han has long surrendered to Qin State and obeyed King Yingji and did nothing."

"And under the years of Qin's attacks, South Korea's territory has shrunk year by year, leaving only the capital Xinzheng, which is more than a dozen small and medium-sized cities around it. Compared with our Yan State, South Korea is called a country and a county. In fact, it is basically a country that has remained in name only."

Han Fei, who was recording indoors, had a very ugly face at this moment.

No matter what, as a member of the Korean royal family, I feel really sad when I see South Korea like this.

Rong Feng did not notice Han Fei's expression, but instead took the baton in his hand towards the Chu State in the south of the map.

"King, since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, Chu State has been a poor and weak prince. After hundreds of years of development, it began to rise in the era of King Cheng of Chu. There were Jianghan and Han, and it continued to annex the small vassal states around it. The Emperor of Zhou granted the title of Chu State and ordered Chu State to guard Zhongnan."

"Especially after annexing Wu and Yue, the territory began to Daba Mountain, Wushan, Wuling Mountain in the west, to the sea in the east, Nanling in the south, to the Central Plains in the north, and to the Qin State in the west. It has a vast territory of more than 5,000 miles, with a territory of one million, with a vast land and abundant resources, and has ten years of millet. It is a great country with considerable strength among the vassal states."
