Become a feudal king from today

"I'm tired. Let's go back and rest. You can discuss the rest with King Yan. Zhao Heng stretched out his hand, and Liang Cheng immediately helped him up and walked towards the inner courtyard.

Liu Fu, Chang Wei, Zhu Tuo and other fiefdom officials were all elated.

Although Yang Feng and Mi Yan were not as excited as them, they also felt that this was a matter of course.

King Yan was extremely benevolent and righteous in allowing the emperor who once tried to send him to Beidi to be a hostage to maintain his dignity.

Moreover, they also do not want Zhao Heng to interfere in Yanzhou's affairs.

In their view, since King Yan came to Yanzhou and today he drove Beidi out of the Ningjin capital, this fully proved King Yan's ability.

Just as Zhao Heng said, in the ensuing chaos, only King Yan can turn the tide.

They must absolutely obey King Yan's orders.

After Zhao Heng disappeared, Zhao Xu asked the ministers to disperse, leaving only Yang Feng, Mi Yan, Liu Fu and Chang Wei.

Since the rest are our own people, there is no need to leave so many people to discuss government affairs.

After all, people talk a lot, and although these ministers are loyal to him, they are deeply alienated from their hearts, so they still have to be careful with them.

Confidential matters should be discussed with core subordinates.

"His Highness just said that he would strike first. Are you planning to attack the Han family?" Yang Feng said.

To the north of Yanzhou is Northeast, to the east is the sea, and to the west are Jinzhou and Sizhou. The only remaining side is also the weakest defensive side of Yanzhou, facing the Han family's Qizhou.

There is no doubt that the Qi State established by the Han family poses the greatest threat to Yanzhou.

Zhao Xu nodded, "Yes, but before attacking Qi, there are still two things to do, one is the sixth prince of Jinzhou, and the other is the Ma family of Sizhou."

He had discussed this matter with Chang Wei, but he had not told Yang Feng and Mi Yan yet.

Mi Yan nodded slightly. When he was in the capital, he could only know about Zhao Xu from rumors.

After coming to Yanzhou, and through this period of time together, he understood more and more that his nephew's ability to establish himself in Yanzhou definitely did not rely on luck.

For example, the decision he made this time was exactly what Yang Feng had discussed carefully with him before coming.

The result was the same as the decision made by King Yan.

The sixth prince is in charge of Jinzhong, and his uncle Yuan Li is currently in Qi.

If Yanzhou's army goes south, the six princes will definitely respond to the Qi State's north and south.

Although the army of the Sixth Prince was nothing more than a chicken and a dog in front of King Yan's soldiers and horses.

But if he adopts some insidious methods like Bei Bei, he will still pose a considerable threat to Yanzhou.

Therefore, the Sixth Prince must not be given the opportunity to cause trouble in Yanzhou.

As for the Ma family's Sizhou, its location is quite important.

Since the last time the imperial court negotiated peace with Beidi, the Dou family has made a lot of profits from the border market with Beidi.

If we can crack down on border markets, we can certainly contain Nanliang and Beidi at the same time.

More importantly, when I went to the Royal Courtyard today, a businessman from Nanliang brought very important news.

A few days ago, a Beidi cavalry escorted their envoys to Xiangcheng, and then news spread of the alliance between Nanliang and Beidi.

It is said that Nanliang and Beidi have become brothers to govern the country with each other.

If Nanliang was attacked, Beidi was obliged to send troops to assist the Nanliang army in resisting the enemy's attack.

Similarly, if Beidi is attacked by the enemy, Nanliang is also obliged to help Beidi.

Moreover, if necessary, both sides can send their own troops to the other side's territory to assist the other side in fighting.

This incident not only shocked them, but also other powerful clans soon.

In order to fight for the world, Nanliang has obviously fallen into madness, not hesitate to lead the wolf into the house, and cooperate with Dasong's mortal enemy.

However, although they hated Dou Wei, they had to admire Dou Wei's courage.

The former Prime Minister of Dasong is indeed sophisticated.

Beidi is a man-eating tiger. If Beidi was in its heyday, Dou Wei would not dare to make such an alliance with Beidi.

But not long ago, Beidi suffered a heavy blow at the hands of King Yan and turned into an injured tiger.

This tiger is not so scary.

In order to be able to rest in peace and at the same time contain and weaken King Yan, Beidi joined forces with Nanliang in the west of the city.

Mulehong would not be so stupid as to provoke a war with Nanliang before killing King Yan.

So at this time, the Ma family's position became very important. Outside Qinguan were the former territories of Dasong, Qinzhou and Yongzhou.

This area is also the passage from Beidi to Nanliang.

As long as you can control this place, you can destroy the cooperation between Nanliang and Beidi.

To achieve this, we must ensure that the Ma family and them are truly of the same mind.

"How is Your Highness planning to deal with the Sixth Prince and Ma Han?" Mi Yan asked.

Zhao Xu pondered for a while and said: "We must adopt gentle measures against Ma Han. I am going to let him come to Yancheng to test his attitude. If he is the head of the Ma family, I can support him. It can also destroy his Ma family."

After a pause, he continued: "As for the sixth prince, I am going to ask the emperor to issue an imperial edict for him to go to Yancheng."

"The Sixth Prince hates and fears me. He will definitely resist and disobey the order, so I can take the opportunity to capture him."

"wonderful."

The four people nodded after hearing this. This is the best way at the moment.

After deciding the matter, Zhao Xu ordered Chang Wei to go to Nansan County to prepare for the southward march to Qi State.

Let Liu Fu lead Mi Yan to get familiar with the government offices, and at the same time go to the government affairs school to study for a while to become familiar with Yanzhou's government affairs management methods.

After that, he went to Ningjin Dusi and was responsible for the government affairs there.

As for Yang Feng.

Zhao Xu has no plans to arrange a position in the court for him.

This is his own request, and the veteran is already old and is indeed not suitable to go out to fight anymore.

Even if I am now learning the tactics of the new firearms army, I cannot keep up with the young generals.

Therefore, just let him stay in the court to make soy sauce and serve as a consultant.

The next day.

Two groups of cavalry set out from Yancheng and headed to Jinzhou and Sizhou respectively with imperial edicts.

Within a day or two, the imperial edict reached the hands of the Sixth Prince and Ma Han respectively.

Jincheng.

The Sixth Prince scanned the imperial edict up and down before throwing it to the ground.

With deep hatred in his eyes, he pointed in the direction of Yancheng and said: "Bah, now that the world is in chaos and everyone is their own king, this imperial edict is nothing. You are a bitch, King Yan, and you want to trick me into Yancheng and then kill me. How can you? It's that easy."

Looking at the imperial edict, he stepped on it again.

"Your Highness, calm down. This just shows that King Yan was ill and sought medical treatment in a hurry. Seeing the Han family establishing the country, he panicked and wanted to annex Jinzhou to expand his own strength. However, he wanted to capture Jinzhou with just an imperial edict. He wanted to It’s too simple,” said a middle-aged official next to the Sixth Prince.

He is none other than Yuan Hang, the former minister of official affairs in the imperial court.

He and the sixth prince were imprisoned because of Yuan Li's attack on Yan Pass.

Later, the powerful clan decided to let him go to Jinzhou, and he came with the sixth prince.

When the Sixth Prince heard this, he smiled cruelly.

He said: "My uncle wrote that Japan is very powerful, and even the ten kings of Yan are no match for it. The Han family has established a country, and Japan has officially formed an alliance with Qi. Its close relationship is even better than that of Nanliang and Beidi. Now King Yan I really want to die and I can’t die anymore.”
