Chapter 743 Zhao Kuo went on an expedition, and the monarchs and ministers of Yan Kingdom were shocked
The King of Qi once thought he was a person who was not short of money, but later he found out that he was wrong.
This mistake is not because the King of Qi cannot make money, but because a robber came to the King of Qi's family. The robber was named Zhao Kuo, who snatched away all the money from the King of Qi.
What King Qi never expected was that the robber actually sent part of the money he stolen was sent back. Although compared with the total amount he stolen, the part he sent back was completely insignificant, but... As the saying goes, having money is definitely better than not having money. No matter how much money it is, it is the same thing.
The Adam's apple of King Qi rolled up and down, and said to Hou Sheng with some difficulty: "Are you sure that Zhao does not have any intention to destroy Yan?"
Hou Sheng's expression was even more unbearable than that of King Qi, and even had a little desire: "King, at least from the current situation, Zhao State does not have any intention of destroying Yan State.
The last time he attacked Zhao State was Le Cheng, and the one who sent troops this time was Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo. He was still much smarter than Le Cheng, so he shouldn't have done such an action that would be targeted by all countries at once."
For a wealth-guarding slave like Housheng, the last time the Zhao army captured Linzi, he took away all Housheng's property, which made Housheng feel sad and seriously ill.
Now that I finally saw some of these property return, Hou Sheng said that it was absolutely impossible not to desire. Being able to give these gold, silver and treasures to King Qi is already a sign of Hou Sheng’s extremely loyalty to King Qi.
King Qi nodded, took a deep breath, and said to Hou Sheng: "Since this is the case, then things will be very simple.
You go and meet this envoy of Zhao immediately and tell him that as long as Zhao can fulfill the conditions, we will let them fight this war!”
King Qi is also a very refreshing person. As long as he has money, it will definitely be very easy to do at least during this period when King Qi has no money.
So in such a diplomatic game, Zhao State went on an unusually smooth journey.
The Qin State was first caught in a tangle, and the Chu State also stated that it would not participate in this battle, and the Qi State even directly and neatly collected money and did things.
As for the two countries, South Korea and Wei, they are weak countries close to Zhao, and they have long been trembling with Zhao's prestige, so it is naturally even more impossible to violate Zhao's orders.
After hearing the news, Zhao Kuo was also very happy and said to King Zhao: "King, it's time to send troops to attack Yan State!"
So a few days later, Zhao Kuo knelt on one knee and, under the witness of everyone, took the military talisman from King Zhao.
Then Zhao Kuo stood up, walked down the steps with big strides, got on his own chariot, and issued an order loudly.
"The whole army attacked!"
Unlike previous attacks, Zhao Kuo's attack was full of confidence this time.
This time, Zhao Kuo no longer needs to worry about the constraints from Zhao. He only needs to do one thing well, that is, to make the things on the battlefield clear, to defeat all the cities of Yan State one by one, and finally completely destroy Yan State, so that Zhao State will continue to move south without any worries and conquer the other five countries.
"This battle will be the beginning of Zhao's unification of the world, and it will be the beginning of my Zhao Kuo fulfilling my personal mission!"
On that day, Zhao Kuo led the 70,000 Zhao army to leave Handan and start heading north, heading towards the direction where Yan State is.
After learning the news, the monarch and ministers of Yan State were immediately disorganized.
The King of Yan convened a meeting almost immediately, and said to several important officials of Yan State in front of him: "It's not good now. Zhao Kuo's bastard has been called. Tell me what should I do?"
Faced with the question from the King of Yan, several important officials of the Yan State present all had embarrassing expressions on their faces.
Whether in terms of area, population and economy, Yan and Zhao are not on the same order of magnitude, not to mention that the commander who led the Zhao army this time was also the Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo, who made everyone frightened.
What should I do?
Not to mention that the King of Yan didn't know what to do, even the ministers of Yan under his command did not know what to do.
Guo Wei said with a tough temper: "King, at this point, the strength of our Yan State has no way to fight against Zhao State. Please send envoys to other countries quickly and ask for help from other countries."
Guo Wei's words sounded quite discouraged, but all the monarchs and ministers of Yan State present knew that what he said was indeed a true fact.
The King of Yan sighed and couldn't help but speak, "The messenger must be sending an envoy, but don't you find it strange?
Why did Zhao's action be so sudden and resolute? It was as if he was not afraid of any interference from other countries.
I always feel that there is something wrong here, what do you think?"
As soon as the King of Yan finished speaking, the other ministers of Yan State present were stunned.
After a few seconds, Chang Guojun smiled reluctantly and said, "The king may be over-concerned. Now that Zhao is so powerful, it is a thorn in the eyes of all the vassal states in the world. It is absolutely impossible for other vassal states to watch us annexed by Zhao."
If Zhao State really sent an envoy to their side, they should have notified us long ago."
King Yan sighed helplessly and said with great sorrow: "I hope this is the case. In short, the messenger will send me out immediately.
King Chang, you immediately mobilize all the troops in our Yan Kingdom and must block Zhao Kuo tightly. He must not let him complete any coveting and attempts to our Da Yan territory!"
At the end, the King of Yan felt a little helpless in his heart. It would be fine if the damn Zhao State has been expanding continuously over the years, but why do you still have to worry about this acre of three-point land of my people?
Obviously, you, Zhao State, have obtained so much land, do you have to force our Yan State to death?
It's simply outrageous.
Thinking of this, the King of Yan couldn't help but say angrily: "If one day I can lead a large army to break through Handan, I must let these Zhao people know what true cruelty is!"
Yan State, who had no knowledge of this battle, was also forced to start this war machine and prepared to go to war with Zhao State at any time.
But the King of Yan at this moment still didn’t know what the fate he and Yan State were about to face!
