Han Fei smiled: "That's right."

"You are really stingy when you come to see me empty-handed." Zhao Feng teased.

"I have a clear sleeve, so I don't have any gifts for you." Han Fei said angrily.

"Speak nicely, I'm your savior."

"If this spreads out, your name Han Fei will make people laugh." Zhao Feng said with a smile.

"Okay, it would be bad luck for me, Han Fei, to have you as my savior." Han Fei was helpless.

Although he is a Legalist, he is also proficient in debating, but he can't speak in front of Zhao Bao.

"Although I didn't bring any gifts."

"But do you want to hear something about you in the court?"

"About Mr. Fusu, and also about the disputes in the court." Han Fei said with a smile, looking sure that Zhao Feng would be curious.

but!

Zhao Feng said casually: "I won't listen."

"Aren't you curious?"

"Master Fusu has specially asked to come and issue the royal edict for you this time. Don't you know why?" Han Fei was stunned.

"Why else?"

"It's just that I can't hold back my momentum."

"Fusu asked me out just now and apologized to me specifically." Zhao Feng said with a sneer.

"As expected of the eldest son, with such self-cultivation and magnanimity, no wonder he has received so much support in the court."

"I apologize to you this time. It's Corporal Li Xian who has spread the news." Han Fei said with a smile.

"Haha, Corporal Li Xian." Zhao Feng sneered, not taking it seriously.

"I have heard something about Mr. Fusu. It was Chunyu Yue who sent his disciples to threaten you, right?" Han Fei asked.

"yes."

"I sent a person with cerebral palsy to threaten me to break off my engagement with the Wang family daughter."

Speaking of this, Zhao Feng couldn't help but laugh.

"Cerebral palsy?"

Hearing this weird adjective again, Han Fei also looked curious.

"It's just a brain disease." Zhao Feng glanced at him and explained.

"It is true that he is mentally ill. Mr. Fusu has such a teacher. I understand why the king did not appoint him as the crown prince." Han Fei nodded with deep understanding.

Hear the words.

Zhao Feng glanced at Han Fei in surprise.

I didn't expect that Han Fei could see the essence of the matter at a glance.

"Whether I make him the crown prince or not has nothing to do with me."

"Anyway, as long as you don't provoke me," Zhao Feng said.

"Before I came, Li Si specifically stopped me. Guess what his purpose was?" Han Fei smiled.

"Although I don't know much about the situation in the court, I have heard that Li Si is a representative of the new rich, while Wang Wan and his ilk are representatives of the old nobles and the clan. Naturally, there are constant battles between them."

"When Fusu comes this time, Li Si must have asked you to stop Fusu from apologizing in front of me." Zhao Feng said with some speculation.

Han Fei nodded: "It's not to stop you, but to make you continue to have a bad feeling for Fusu. After all, your current popularity is unmatched by anyone in the court. They say you are the future general. If Fusu It’s not a good thing for him to really offend you.”

"certainly."

"I also tell the truth."

"When you were guarding Weicheng, Wang Wan and his ilk did trip up you and accuse you of leaving your post without permission, but they were all reprimanded by the king."

"Now that I can no longer suppress you, Mr. Fusu is here. Anyway, you can decide the pros and cons of this situation by yourself."

"As friends, try not to have anything to do with them."

"Even though you are in the prime of life in the military now, if you really participated in their fight, you might be doomed." Han Fei said truthfully.

Listening to Han Fei's heartfelt words, Zhao Feng also understood that he was doing it for his own good.

"Don't worry."

"I don't even care about their meaningless fights."

"I'm very good in the army, but you should be more careful in the court." Zhao Feng said with a smile.

"well."

"It's a pity that it's still wartime and you can't drink. Otherwise, I would have a great time drinking with you today."

"There's a chance."

"After we have settled in Zhao, I will invite you to my house for a wedding banquet, and I will keep the most delicious wine in the world for you until then."

"I wish you could. I'm waiting for the day when I can drink your wedding wine."

Half a day passed quickly.

Outside the military camp.

Five hundred guards escorted the two chariots to resume their return journey.

"Farewell to the eldest son."

Wang Jian stood outside the military camp, clasping his fists at Fusu.

"General, stay here."

Fusu waved his hand.

Then the two carriages slowly left under the protection of five hundred guard cavalry.

"What does the eldest son want from you?" Wang Jian turned his head and looked at Zhao Feng and asked.

now.

Wang Bi and Yang Duanhe have already gone to Jinyang City, so naturally only Zhao Feng remains in the camp for the time being.

"That day, his teacher named Chun Yuyue sent someone to threaten me for breaking up with Yan'er, but I beat him directly."

"Fusu is here to apologize." Zhao Feng replied.

"Threaten you to break up with Yan'er?"

Wang Jian frowned, a hint of anger rising.

He didn't even know about this.

"No wonder Chun Yuyue dared to target you like that in the court later. It turns out that was the reason."

"well."

"Chun Yuyue."

A cold look flashed across Wang Jian's face.

"Father-in-law doesn't need to worry about this."

"Since Fusu has come to apologize in person, it can also show his sincerity."

"Of course."

"Fusu is Fusu, Chunyu Yue is Chunyu Yue."

"If he dares to reach out again, it won't be as simple as an apology." Zhao Feng said in a deep voice.

This time, Zhao Feng accepted Fusu's apology, because he was not strict with his subordinates.

But judging from Chunyu Yue, a man with cerebral palsy, he might attack Zhao Feng in the future. When that day comes, Zhao Feng will not be polite.

The court of hell has been established, so it is still easy to kill some people.

"I have to give face to the eldest son, but the matter of Chunyu Yue is not so easy to end. After destroying Zhao, I will let him give me an explanation."

"Even if he is the teacher of the eldest son, everything must be reasonable." Wang Jian said in a deep voice.

Obviously.

It is not so easy for him to pass this level.

"With my father-in-law going to do it personally, Chunyu Yue will also suffer." Zhao Feng said with a smile.

At this time!

Wang Jian suddenly thought of something, turned his head and looked at Zhao Feng, very serious.

"Father-in-law, why are you looking at me like this?" Zhao Feng asked inexplicably.

"Did the Eighteenth Prince's people come to see you?" Wang Jian suddenly asked.

"Father-in-law also knows about this?" Zhao Feng was a little surprised.

"Not only did I know, but it also spread among many people in the court."

"They all said that you have become friends with the Eighteenth Prince and have become his arm." Wang Jian smiled meaningfully.

That's it.

The meaning is naturally clear.

Spread in the court?

Why spread?

Obviously Hu Hai used Zhao Feng's name to make a big banner, letting everyone know that Zhao Feng stood on his side. This was also a calculation for Zhao Feng, so that he would have to stand on his side in the future.

"Hehe."

"Hu Hai."

"He's just a young boy. It seems that the people behind him are good at calculating for him, and they even counted me in." Zhao Feng sneered.

Just Wang Jian's reminder, Zhao Feng knew who the person who calculated was.

Without a doubt, Zhao Gao.

"Do you know what the most taboo thing for military officials in the court is?" Wang Jian smiled and asked.

"Party struggle." Zhao Feng thought without hesitation.

Zhao Feng knew all the history of China, so he naturally knew that the most taboo thing for military officials was to get involved in the struggle for the crown prince.

As long as you stand on the wrong side.

There is no way back.

No matter how great your military achievements have been, even if you have expanded the territory for the country, you will eventually die.

Of course.

Maybe there is a chance to stand on the right side, but in the end you become the first military official, and your achievements are so great that they shock the master?

The end will not be very good.

In this era.

Not everyone is Qin Shihuang, who has the tolerance and the extraordinary control.

"It seems that you understand it all."

"I was going to remind you." Wang Jian nodded with relief.

"Holding the military power, it is natural that those princes will compete to win over. This little son-in-law understands this." Zhao Feng smiled.

"Participating in the fight for the crown prince is a taboo for a minister."

"Whether you stand on the right or the wrong side, you will be doomed."

"So you must be cautious, and ignore any prince who tries to win you over." Wang Jian warned in a deep voice.

"Yes." Zhao Feng nodded.

To be honest.

Wang Jian actually didn't know.

All the sons of Qin Shihuang were ugly, and Zhao Feng looked down on any of them.

The kind and modest Fusu was obviously pedantic.

And he was the best of Qin Shihuang's sons, which shows the character of the other princes.

Of course.

The worst one was the eighteenth son Hu Hai, and Zhao Feng admired him for having the courage to come to him.

A fool who slaughtered all his brothers and sisters, a fool who made Qin Huang extinct.

To the country, to relatives, and to his father.

This Hu Hai is not a good thing.

If the deceased Qin Shi Huang knew what Hu Hai did, he would probably rush out of the ground and tear this rebellious son into pieces.

"Among the generals of the Great Qin, are there any who participated in the party struggle?" Zhao Feng asked curiously.

His father-in-law was a general with high power, and he naturally knew many secrets about the court.

"Alas."

Wang Jian sighed and looked towards the north: "The Meng family may have made a choice."

Hearing this.

Combined with history.

Zhao Feng naturally understood immediately.

"The Meng family chose Fusu."

"The same is true for the Meng family in history."

"After Fusu was killed by Hu Hai, Meng Tian was also executed by Hu Hai, and the Meng family army in the northern border was also dispersed. Of course, it is not called the Meng family army now, but the northern camp."

"It's a pity for the Meng family." Zhao Feng thought secretly.

"What plans does my father-in-law have for the future?" Zhao Feng asked with some curiosity.

Wang Jian in history was a man who was good at preserving himself. Even when he was on a campaign and commanding a large army, he would ask the King of Qin for a reward every once in a while. This was self-degradation, letting the King of Qin know that he had no ambitions.

Later, when the prestige of the Wang family reached its peak, they did not participate in party struggles.

"The Wang family is only loyal to the King of Qin."

"Now we are loyal to the King."

"In the future, we will be loyal to the King's successor." Wang Jian said in a deep voice.

"This is indeed the safest way." Zhao Feng nodded.

It is no wonder that the Wang family in history was able to survive under Hu Hai and Zhao Gao, and was later destroyed because of the chaos at the end of the Qin Dynasty.

Wang Jian's way of hiding and surviving is indeed feasible.

"Originally, I was worried that you would be involved. After all, you are still young."

"Now you are not only the general of Great Qin, but also the son-in-law of my Wang family. You have also invisibly represented my Wang family." Wang Jian patted Zhao Feng on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Father-in-law, don't worry."

"I will not participate in this kind of thing, and whether it is Fusu or Hu Hai, they are not worthy." Zhao Feng smiled lightly.

As soon as these words fell.

Wang Jian's expression changed and he looked deeply at Zhao Feng.

When the words came to his lips, he wanted to say something, but in the end he held back.

"Now that Jinyang has been defeated, can I lead the army to attack tomorrow?" Zhao Feng asked.

"What do you think?" Wang Jian asked.

"Nothing else."

"Capture Zhao's city as quickly as possible." Zhao Feng said immediately.

"Let's wait another ten days." Wang Jian said.

"Why?" Zhao Feng looked puzzled.

"You have 50,000 warriors under your command. I wrote to the king half a month ago, requesting for the deployment of new troops. Now they are on the way and they will arrive within ten days." Wang Jian said.

Zhao Feng's eyes lit up and he immediately asked: "How many recruits?"

"You kid, don't you know how many people there are in a main battle camp?" Wang Jian glanced at them and said angrily.

"Fifty thousand new soldiers?" Zhao Feng asked tentatively.

"A total of 50,000, and they have already gone through three months of recruit training. As for the rest, let them train on the battlefield."

"And the king has also given you the title of commander of the main battalion, the fourth main battle battalion of Lantian Camp." Wang Jian said solemnly.

"The last general takes orders."

Zhao Feng also replied immediately.

immediately.

Zhao Feng did not stay at the gate of the military camp for a long time, but returned to the military camp to announce the admission of new soldiers.

"Zhao Feng, alas."

"His character seems to have no respect for the royal power."

"I don't know whether this is good or bad for my Wang family."

"That's all, let's take it one step at a time. When this boy said he wanted to steal the bride, it was obvious that his character disrespected the royal power. Now it's even worse."

"Does he really think that with his power, he can compete with the king's power?"

For Zhao Feng.

Wang Jian was both relieved and helpless.

I am gratified that my son-in-law is indeed very capable, but unfortunately, this son-in-law does not have much respect for the royal power. The only time he shows respect for the royal power is when he is promoted to a higher position.

Wang Jian had no way to change this. After all, this was the first time he had encountered such a person.

Zhao Guo, Handan!

"Asshole."

"How could Jinyang be breached?"

"How could that happen?"

"What does Yan Ju do for food?"

"I gave him an army of two hundred thousand, two hundred thousand."

"He can't even defend Jinyang City."

"What use do I need from him?"

Zhao Yan roared angrily at the courtiers in the hall.

Obviously.

At this moment, Zhao Yan had received the news that Jinyang City had been breached, his entire face became very ugly, and he was breathing heavily and angry.

"Your Majesty, calm down."

The ministers of Zhao State in the Manchu Dynasty shouted loudly to calm down their anger.

At this moment, Jinyang City was breached, and the faces of many of these Zhao ministers became ugly.

"Your Majesty, there is nothing we can do now."

"Jinyang has been defeated. We can only mobilize the army from Yan State to resist Qin State."

"Otherwise, our great Zhao will be in danger." Zhao Yan stood up immediately and asked for orders loudly.

"Withdrawal?"

Zhao Yan gritted his teeth, with a look of unwillingness on his face.

But at this moment.

Yan Ju has been defeated, and he seems to have no other choice.

Now the available troops of Zhao State are only 300,000 from Yan State and 200,000 from Daidi.

"How many more troops do Yan Ju have left to fight?" Zhao Yan asked still unwilling to give up.

"Return to the king."

"The situation in Jinyang is still unclear. General Yan Ju led the remaining troops to withdraw towards Leiyang City."

"But obviously the remaining troops under his command are less than 100,000." Guo Kai stood up and reported.

"Less than 100,000."

"Yan Ju, you have let me down so much." Zhao Yan couldn't help but curse again.

"Your Majesty."

"Jinyang is our Great Zhao's barrier. After the city is broken, our Great Zhao's barrier has been broken."

"Furthermore, all the county soldiers guarded by the king have been mobilized to Jinyang beforehand. Many cities in Jinyang are not guarded by county soldiers. The Qin army will be invincible in conquering it."

"We can only take advantage of General Yan Ju's remaining strength to defend and call back Yan's army, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous." Zhao Yan said loudly again.

And this time.

Zhao Yi is no longer alone.

"I second the proposal."

"In today's national crisis, we must put the protection of the country first."

"Please, Your Majesty, issue an edict to withdraw your troops from the State of Yan."

"If we don't withdraw our troops, our great Zhao will be in danger."

Many ministers in the court also spoke one after another.

Among these people were many members of the clan, as well as some neutral courtiers. They were all dignitaries of Zhao State and had to speak out for their own interests.

If the country is really destroyed, then their interests will become a joke.

They all know it.

If the State of Zhao dies, all the land they annexed will be controlled by the State of Qin and then distributed to the warriors who support the nobility. This is also the reason why all the countries wanted to unite to attack Qin, because the State of Qin posed too great a threat to their nobles. .

For the sake of profit, we have to unite.

But now that Qin's situation has become overwhelming, they have no chance.

Seeing that most of the courtiers agreed to withdraw the troops.

Zhao Yan's face became even more ugly, because this time he really had to withdraw his troops.

His dream of becoming a king who opened up new territories was shattered.

"Nearly 50% of Yan State's territory has fallen into the control of a few people. Do we really want to withdraw our troops?"

"As long as I am given some more time, the Yan Kingdom will surely perish." Zhao Yan clenched his fists and said with great reluctance.

"Your Majesty."

"There is no chance now. If we don't withdraw our troops, we, Zhao, will perish." Zhao Yi said loudly.

"Can you mobilize Li Mu to return to defense?" Zhao Yan looked at Guo Kai and asked.

At this moment.

Guo Kai looked at Zhao Yan with some hesitation, not knowing how to answer.

If Li Mu comes back, this does not seem to be a good thing for Da Qin.

"Your Majesty."

"If General Li Mu is transferred back, will that generation give up?"

"That's half of the territory of our great Zhao." Guo Kai respectfully reported after hesitating for a moment.

"Your Majesty, you must never give up Dai Di."

"If we lose our land, our northern border with Zhao will be in danger. We not only have to worry about Qin, but also the Huns." Zhao Yan said again.

"Is there no other option but to withdraw from Yan State?"

"Can't we ask for help from Qi and Chu?"

Even now, Zhao Yan still has luck.

"Your Majesty."

"Haven't you thought it through by now?"

"We, Zhao State, have no reason to mobilize troops against Yan State, and the army has not yet withdrawn from Yan State. How can Qi State and Chu State send troops?"

"What reasons do they use to support me, Great Zhao?"

"When we first attacked Yan, your Majesty should have treated it with caution." Zhao Yan took advantage of this moment and refuted loudly.

"you……"

Looking at Zhao Yan who completely rejected him, Zhao Yan looked angry, but mostly helpless.

If he truly became a wise king who opened up new territories, he might be able to directly deal with Zhao Yi at this moment, because the whole dynasty would be frightened by the prestige of this expansion.

But what is the situation now?

He failed.

If you don't withdraw your troops from Yan State, your country will be destroyed.

Under the coercion of the entire court.

Zhao Yan said with all kinds of helplessness: "Draw an imperial edict and order General Pang Nuan to withdraw the troops."

"Great King Shengming."

Zhao Yan immediately shouted.

And there was a hint of pride on his face.

here.

Zhao Yan's attempt to change his prestige ultimately failed.

"Start the memorial, Your Majesty."

"I have something to report." Guo Kai stood up at this moment.

"Prime Minister, tell me quickly."

Seeing that it was Guo Kai, Zhao Yan was extremely trusting and said immediately.

"According to the intelligence, the Qin army is divided into two groups to attack our country, Zhao. One group is the main force, and is the commander-in-chief Wang Jian."

"There is also the Qinbei Xinjiang Army that is holding back my generation's border troops along the way. There are not many troops."

"Now if we want to protect our country, Zhao, in addition to the return of the Yan army to defend, Dai Di must also respond."

"If General Li Mu can defeat Qin Beijiang, it will be a great thing. Once Qin Beijiang is defeated, Qin Wangjian will definitely lose his spirit and retreat."

"I believe that General Li Mu should take the initiative." Guo Kai said solemnly.

Hear this.

Zhao Yan looked thoughtful.

"If Li Mu can lead his army to defeat Mengwu, the army there will lose the delay and can be transferred to our country, Zhao, to resist Wang Jian. If the Qin army can be defeated, I can return to attack Yan." Zhao Yan thought to himself. At this moment, Guo Kai has been moved in his heart.

"The Prime Minister's words make sense."

"If the Qin army that harassed my land can be destroyed, our Zhao hinterland will definitely be out of danger." Zhao Yan nodded immediately.

But Zhao Yan frowned and immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, you must not let General Li Mu attack."

"The Qin army is cunning. If General Li Mu takes the initiative to attack, he may not be able to please him."

"On the contrary, it will fall into the Qin army."

"I feel that General Li Mu should focus on defense."

Guo Kaize immediately stood up: "Jun Chunping's remarks are ridiculous."

"General Li Mu is our Great General of Zhao. He shoulders the important task of guarding the territory of Great Zhao. How can we just defend when foreign enemies invade?"

"As a general of Zhao, he should defeat powerful enemies. If he can't do it, then choose another capable person." Guo Kaiyi said righteously.

now.

Zhao Yan immediately understood: "Well said."

"If Li Mu cannot defeat the powerful enemy, then I will choose another talented person. I will give Li Mu three months. If he cannot defeat the invading Qin army, then I will choose another talented person."

Hear this.

Zhao Yan glanced at Guo Kai angrily, but there was nothing he could do.

Naturally, he could see that Guo Kai and Zhao Yan were singing along, obviously intending to take action on Li Mu.

This is Guo Kai's purpose.

"Lian Po is dead. I have completed the task assigned by Da Qin. Next, I only need to relieve Li Mu of military power. This will be another great achievement."

"I'm sure the king will never treat me poorly in the future."

Guo thought happily.

Guo Kai, known in history as the God of War of the Great Qin Dynasty, takes action again!

Yan Kingdom, Yuyang City!

Two hundred thousand Yan troops defended here, and backup troops were constantly mobilized.

The elites of the Zhao State were invincible under the command of Pang Nuan, and the national strength of the Yan State was simply not enough to compete.

Among all the countries in the world, the Yan army's combat power is only stronger than that of Han.

now.

Nearly half of the country of Yan has fallen into the hands of Zhao Jun.

Countless Zhao troops were attacking one after another, while Yan troops were desperately defending.

And at this moment.

Zhao’s central army.

“General.”

“An urgent decree came from Handan.”

“The king issued an edict to withdraw the troops.”

A messenger from Xianyang held the royal edict and reported to Pang Nuan.

Hearing this.

Pang Nuan’s face on the chariot suddenly changed.

“What did you say?”

“Withdraw the troops?”

Pang Nuan’s voice changed.

“Yes.” The messenger said respectfully, holding the royal edict and handing it to Pang Nuan.

The latter took the royal edict with a sullen face and looked at the contents of the royal edict.

Pang Nuan’s face turned pale.

“General, does the king really want us to withdraw the troops?”

“The destruction of Yan is just a crucial battle. As long as this city is broken, Yan will not be able to recover. It is a great achievement.” Zhao Cong on the side said with some concern.

"General Zhao."

"I don't want to withdraw, and neither does the king."

"But now..."

"Qin has already conquered Jinyang, and General Lian Po has died in battle."

"If we don't go back to defend, Great Zhao will be in danger." Pang Nuan sighed.

"But now we only have Yuyang City. We have been attacking for many days and have lost many soldiers. I really don't want to retreat like this." Zhao Cong gritted his teeth and said.

"I can't be reconciled, but there is nothing I can do."

"If we don't withdraw, Great Zhao will really be destroyed by Qin." Pang Nuan sighed.

Finally.

He raised his hand, which he didn't want to raise at all, and issued the order to withdraw the troops that he least wanted in his life: "Sound the gong to withdraw the troops."

Soon.

The sound of the gong resounded in front of Yuyang City.

The Zhao army, which was attacking frantically, heard the order and retreated to the rear army in an orderly manner.

On Yuyang City.

Yan Dan, who was dressed in armor, looked puzzled at the retreating Zhao army.

"Why did the Zhao army suddenly retreat?"

"This is not like Pang Nuan's style." Yan Dan frowned.

"Maybe."

"Qin has threatened Zhao." Le Cheng said in a deep voice.

"We have not received any news about Zhao, all of which have been blocked by Pang Nuan. Could it be that something really happened in Zhao?" Yan Dan's eyes lit up.

"It must be."

"Otherwise, Pang Nuan would never withdraw his troops."

"At this moment, I suggest leading the army to pursue and severely defeat the Zhao army." Le Cheng immediately asked.

"No."

Yan Dan waved his hand.

"What does the prince mean?" Le Cheng asked puzzled.

"Not to mention that Pang Nuan is strict in military discipline and his withdrawal is also orderly. We can't win favor by chasing him. Secondly, if we really catch up and severely defeat the Zhao army, is this a good thing for us?"

"If Qin really destroys Zhao, then our Yan State will be more worried in the future."

"Ying Zheng, he is ambitious." Yan Dan said coldly.
