In the morning court of Yan State, the emperor's face was very good because of the victory of the Yan army, and the faces of the ministers in the court, especially the officials in the Korean army, all had smug smiles.

For a while, the Yan State court was not calm.

In less than half a month, Mr. Xiao was assassinated first. Before the so-called murderer was found, Xiao Mingtang attacked the Han family on Dada. The Han family quickly made a ruthless counterattack. Even Xiao Huaijin was involved. The father and son were sent to the gallows together.

Compared with the previously destroyed family, Xiao Huaijin and his son also saved a complete body.

After Xiao Huaijin and his son were killed, several major families led by the Han family had taken full action against the Xiao family, using Dali Temple as the main weapon to launch a thorough investigation of the Xiao faction officials.

In just a few days, many Xiao Sect officials were dug up countless old stories, such as bullying men and women, depriving their property, corruption and abuse of power, and for personal gain. Countless crimes were overwhelmed by the Xiao Sect officials. The Xiao Sect officials without a protective umbrella were taken to Dali Temple one by one for interrogation.

Moreover, for the officials of the Xiao family, Dali Temple used differentiation methods to first examine the ordinary officials of the Xiao faction, and threaten them to induce and induce them to personally testify against the senior officials of the Xiao faction.

In fact, at this point, the officials of the Xiao faction realized that the disaster was coming. Many officials gave in a few seconds and ruthlessly bit out the officials of their tribe.

However, in just a few days, countless officials of the Xiao Sect were dismissed, but the Xiao family had no power to fight back. Xiao Wanchang, the strongest backbone, was unable to deal with it, and he was unable to protect himself.

Xiao Wanchang remained silent from beginning to end. Seeing the fall of the clan officials, he watched coldly. He knew very well that without Master Xiao and Xiao Huaiyu, the Xiao family faced such a strong suppression and could not confront him without any protective umbrella.

...

Military information from the northwest came, and the Ministry of War received a memorial from Han Mo, asking the court what to do next. Today's morning court naturally wanted to discuss the next countermeasures.

In the minds of most officials, since the main force of the Wei army was defeated, such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity would naturally continue to advance. Even if the Wei State could not be destroyed, at least it would have to occupy a large area of ​​land.

However, the cabinet did not dare to sloppy about this.

The primary issue is naturally the issue of military strength. Han Mo sent 60,000 troops and used half of the Northwest Army, but it was necessary to attack Wei's land, with a huge area and numerous cities. Sixty thousand troops were far from enough. Moreover, although the main force of the Wei army suffered heavy losses, it does not mean that Wei's country has completely lost its combat effectiveness. If such a martial country enters its homeland to fight, it will definitely be full of difficulties. Without a strong enough corps, it is naturally not easy to sweep Wei.

Secondly, it is naturally a logistical issue. Although Han Mo got 250,000 stones of grain from the Qing people and unexpectedly obtained a large number of heavy armor and tiger-faced shields, if he wanted to enter the Wei country to fight, these materials were of course far from enough. Perhaps after conquering the city and territories, a large number of materials could be seized, but the victory or defeat of the military strategists was unpredictable. Before this, Yan State itself had to provide a large amount of food and supplies.

In fact, Han Xuandao's Ministry of Revenue has been mobilizing grain and grass from various counties in Yan State in an orderly manner. Although the Ministry of Works did not have Xiao Huaijin, the project of building weapons has not stopped.

In addition, the most important thing is communication with Qingguo.

Before Wei was defeated, Yan was naturally unwilling to have disputes with Qing State at this time. In fact, the people of Yan were also very clear in their hearts that the people of Qing State must have been very complicated at this time.

They need the help of Yan State, but they are very afraid of Yan State. This contradictory mentality will inevitably have a lot of trouble in the subsequent military attack.

If both sides join forces to attack Wei, they will definitely preserve their own strength as much as possible and consume the other party's strength. If this is the case, it will not cause a powerful blow to Wei State.

In fact, this is also the biggest drawback of the coalition forces.

There was a lot of discussion in the court, and most of the ministers proposed to continue to march. When the Wei people were defeated, the whole country was panicked and they should take this opportunity to continue to march. If they delayed and launched an attack after the Wei State redeployed, they would be afraid that greater casualties would occur in the subsequent attack.

The old-fashioned and steadfast report that the superiors should not be dispatched easily. Before entering Wei, they must make some plans, and consider how to deal with the attack of Yan State.

The radicals and the old-fashioned people argued in the court.

This is already a major event for the country and cannot divide the family. For a moment, Korean officials argued with each other and Fan officials quarreled with each other.

The emperor looked calm and sat on the dragon throne. He watched the ministers in the court argue passionately. Finally, he looked at Fan Yunao and asked: "Fan Aiqing, in your opinion, should my army advance immediately or temporarily stop the move?"

Fan Yunao came out of the minister and pondered for a moment, then said: "The Master, with the power of victory, you may be able to advance significantly, but if you attack the Wei Kingdom, if you do not plan carefully and prepare well, if there is any change, it will be a big deal." After a pause, he said seriously: "The most important thing is the alliance with Qing Kingdom. If you cannot discuss with Qing Kingdom in advance, if you have conflicts with Qing Kingdom in the future, it will not be a good thing for us."

Emperor Yan smiled coldly and said, "The people of Qing... need to clean up even if they look back!"

"But now it can't!" Fan Yunao said solemnly: "If Qingguo does not send troops, we must not attack alone..."

Emperor Yan nodded and said, "Is Fan Aiqing worried that our Yan army would attack Wei alone, and the people of Qing would be detrimental to us?"

Fan Yunao immediately said: "That's right. Master, although the Qing army consumes a huge amount of money, the main force is still there. If our army advances rashly, no matter whether it wins or loses, the Qing people may attack us behind the scenes. If it wins, the Qing people naturally don't want to see that our army is powerful. If it is defeated, the Qing people will even put down the wrong end. This is necessary to guard against it!"

Emperor Yan nodded slightly, looked at Han Xuandao, and asked, "Han Aiqing, what do you think about this?"

Han Xuan said out of the line and said calmly: "I heard from the emperor that what Secretary Fan said is very true. Our army is loud and has a strong morale, but has not had a great war in recent years. Now the battle is a great victory, and it may not be a good thing to underestimate the enemy. It may not be a good thing to go out with arrogant troops. Moreover, Secretary Fan is very worried about it and it is difficult to be aware of people. If I negotiate with them, I will have concerns about future troubles!"

"What should I do?" the emperor asked, touching his beard under his chin.

Han Xuandao immediately said: "Immediately send envoys to discuss with the capital to determine the combat plan after entering Wei. In addition, gather troops to recruit and replenish troops to the front line!"

Han Mo nodded slightly and asked, "In accordance with Han Aiqing's opinion, who should I send to Qingguo for negotiation?"

"Report to the emperor, the previous Changde Hou was sent to Qingguo to be a mission to the State of Qingguo, which was very smooth, and he was quite familiar with Qingguo. I think that Changde Hou could take on this position!" Han Xuandao bowed and said solemnly.

The emperor frowned, pondered for a moment, and finally said, "There is no other candidate?"

Han Xuandao said seriously: "The battle to enter Wei is inevitable. The cabinet will naturally prepare and plan, each with its own duties. However, this mission is a major event and requires the sending of important personnel. Therefore, I think that if you are choosing a person, it is the most suitable thing to be Changde Hou."

Fan Yunao also said: "The Lord, the Marquis is a member of the royal family, with a noble status and has had experience on missions. It is most appropriate for him to go to negotiate!"

The emperor pondered for a while and finally said, "Since that's the case, Changde Hou will go to Qingguo to discuss the two countries' attack on Wei."

The ministers immediately said in unison: "The Lord is wise!"

The emperor said again: "I feel comforted by Han Mo's great victory this time. But it is not a pity to fight in Wei. I have been thinking about it over and over again. This battle can only be won but not defeated, so I decided to send another powerful general to the northwest to assist Han Mo in attacking Wei!"

The ministers immediately turned their eyes on the emperor.

Many people have already felt sensitively that the emperor sent generals to the point of restraining Han Mo, right?

However, Han Mo is now at the forefront of the Northwest Army. It is extremely difficult to find a general to restrain him, and Han Mo will not easily decentralize power from others.

Han Xuandao's expression was calm, but a cold light flashed in his eyes that was undetectable.

The emperor's eyes seemed to be unstoppable, and he slowly said, "I have seen the whole court. If we talk about the command of the army, Han Xuanling, the governor of the East China Sea Punishment Army, was a general who was good at fighting. At that time, he defeated the strong with the weak and defeated the Qing Dynasty Navy. It would be a pity if he didn't use such a talent. I decided to temporarily transfer Han Xuanling to the front line to assist Han Mo and prepare to enter the Wei war. What do you guys see?"

Many ministers were a little surprised.

"Master, Governor Han has always commanded the navy...!" Fan Yunao frowned slightly, but before he finished speaking, the emperor smiled: "Being good at commanding the navy may not necessarily mean not being good at commanding the army. Although Han Mo is very powerful, he is still a little younger and always more impulsive in doing things. Han Xuanling is aging and steadfast. With him on his side to help, it will be of great benefit to our Yan army!"

The court was silent for a moment.

Just as he was facing a quiet moment, he suddenly heard a voice and said in surprise: "Master, you...!"

Everyone was stunned, but saw a eunuch holding a ritual that was coming out of nonchalant voice. The eunuch was looking at the emperor with a look of horror. All the ministers looked at him and saw Emperor Dayan sitting on the Golden Throne, bleeding from his nose. Two red blood stains flowed down from his nostrils. The emperor looked calm and was still gently stroking his beard, as if he didn't know that blood was flowing out of his nostrils.

The ministers were shocked.

The emperor was bleeding from his nose at that time, but he was completely unaware of it. This scene was really strange.
