Jicheng, Yan State capital, Yan State palace.

The new king Yan and Wang Xi looked gloomy and sat upright on the throne, his eyes widening, staring at the ministers.

A group of ministers are here, but the wise drama is not seen.

The defeat of Zhongmu was extraordinary for Yan State. The King of Yan was frightened and uneasy, so he turned a blind eye. Prince Xi succeeded to the throne, which was Prince Dan's father. This was the last king of Yan State, King Xi of Yan State.

In the battle between Zhongmu, the King of Yan not only died, but the wise Ju Xin became the target of public criticism and was attacked by the whole country. If he hadn't had his prestige and great contributions, King of Yan Xi might have executed him long ago.

Despite this, Ju Xin could not go to court and lost his voice in court.

Zhongmu Yizhan, no wonder Ju Xin. On the contrary, Ju Xin was very wise, and knew the importance of Hezong and insisted on Hezong. This was not wrong. However, at this time, Yan State did not care so much, and had to find a scapegoat. The size and length of Ju Xin were the most appropriate.

"The Qin State is going to advance eastward to wipe out the nations. Han and Wei will be unable to resist. Sooner or later, how should the Great Yan deal with it?" King Xi of Yan spoke slowly.

"Your Majesty, what are you worried about?" A minister hurriedly took over the conversation and said, "Dayan is at the northernmost point. If Qin wants to attack Yan, don't be anxious. Dayan will be safe and sound."

"Yes, Da Yan will definitely be fine." The ministers hurriedly agreed.

At that time, Yan State was in the northernmost direction, far away from Qin State, and Qin State was unable to reach the forefront of the military. Qin State originally planned to put Yan State behind, but he did not expect that Prince Dan actually sent Jing Ke to assassinate, which angered Qin State, which changed the order of destroying the country and ordered Wang Jian to lead his troops to destroy Yan State first.

"What if Qin is calling, what should I do?" King Xi of Yan was still worried and was a little scared.

"Your Majesty. If Qin forces us and Da Yan is defeated, will Da Yan still have Liaodong? Da Yan can retreat to Liaodong." Another minister hurriedly gave his advice.

Liaodong is the current northeastern land, and Yan State occupied part of it as the rear. It is said that Le Yi trained troops in Liaodong, which shows that Liaodong is important to Yan State.

"Yes, yes! The bitter and cold land in Liaodong. Even if the Qin army wants to pursue it, it is impossible. Dayan can rest assured." The ministers agreed loudly.

"Well, it's reasonable." King Xi of Yan frowned, and finally let go of his heart. He smiled and said, "It's so good! It's really valuable to have such a good plan. Come on, hold a banquet, I'll get drunk with you!"

In history, after Qin destroyed Yan State, King Xi of Yan had nowhere to escape. He fled to Liaodong and hid, and really survived for several years. It was not until later that Qin Shihuang ordered Wang Ben to lead his army to chase into Liaodong, and then he killed King Xi of Yan.

King Xi of Yan thought that even if the Qin army was in a bitter and cold place in Liaodong, he would not be able to stand it. If the situation was unfavorable, he could retreat to Liaodong and then become his King of Yan.

Soon, the banquet was held and the king and his ministers drank it.

It’s so good to eat meat and drink wine in big mouthfuls!

Ying, the capital of Chu, the palace of Chu.

King Kaoli of Chu was drinking with Chunshen Jun, and the king and his ministers were talking and laughing, and they were extremely happy, as if the defeat of Zhongmu did not exist.

In the battle of Zhongmu, Chu State suffered heavy losses, with more than 200,000 soldiers and generals. Less than 300,000 troops returned to Chu State. What a great loss. If it were in Qin State, Chunshen Jun would have been questioned for a long time. However, this is Chu State, it is no big deal to defeat the army. As long as the Huang family is not defeated, it is a big family of Chu State, even if the losses are heavy, Chunshen Jun is still the imperial court.

Not to mention that Xiang Yan was defeated by Zhongmu and could not escape the blame. In order to escape the disaster for Xiang Yan, the Xiang family and the Huang family joined forces to deal with other major families.

After Zhongmu was defeated, the three major families of Qu Jingzhao saw the opportunity and wanted to take advantage of this to attack Chunshenjun, the imperial court, off the power of Chunshenjun. However, Xiang Huang joined forces to make their conspiracy bankrupt.

Besides, Chunshen Jun is good at ease, knows how to flatter, flatter, and flatter King Chu Kaoli. Moreover, the relationship between the two is good and can wear the same pair of pants.

No, you can sleep with the same woman!

Li Yuan's sister, Li Yan, Chunshenjun and King Chu Kaolii have both slept and gave birth to a son. Chunshenjun and King Chu Kaolii both think they are their own bloodline.

With such an ironclad relationship, the mere defeat of Zhongmu is nothing more than losing hundreds of thousands of troops, Chunshenjun or Chunshenjun or Lingyin.

"In the battle of Zhongmu, Qin State got what he wanted, Ying Ji was arrogant. He dreamed of destroying the six kingdoms and unifying the world. He was doing a great dream of Qingqiu." King Kaollie of Chu put down the bronze wine lord, grinned disdainfully, and sneered: "He can destroy Han and Wei, but cannot destroy the Great Chu. Why? Because the Great Chu is too big, it is not something that Qin State can swallow."

In terms of vast land, Qin State is far from being a match for Chu State, and it is too far behind. King Kaoli of Chu is full of confidence.

"Your wise." Chunshen Jun hurriedly flattered and smiled very kindly, saying, "With the vastness of the Great Chu, what can Qin do to me? Qin can defeat Da Chu, but cannot destroy Da Chu. If Ying is not guaranteed, Da Chu can still move the capital again."

"Yes, yes." King Kaolii Chu slapped his forehead, suddenly realized, smiled happily, and said, "Mr. Chunshen, do you think if you moved the capital, where should Da Chu move to?"

"Gusu!" Chunshenjun blurted out without thinking.

Susu is the modern Suzhou, which was once the capital of Wu and had ready-made palaces. Now it has fallen into Chunshenjun, where he has built a large palace and operated it very well. If Chu State moved its capital to Susu, it would be of great benefit to him.

"Okay! Gusu was originally the old capital of Wu, and the palace was ready. If the Great Chu loses, you will move to Gusu. Well, Chunshen Jun, you have to prepare for this matter." King Kaoli Chu immediately agreed.

"Don't worry, I understand this matter." Chunshen said happily.

Linzi, the capital of Qi, and the palace of Qi, are festive.

The Queen, King Jian, and Housheng were drinking, and the three of them smiled and exchanged cups. They were so happy.

"Brother, you did a good job in leading the army to fight this time. You returned the whole army and did not embarrass the Great Qi." The Queen put down the wine, looked at Hou Sheng, and praised him very much.

In the battle between Zhongmu, he won the entire army and returned. This was because he had a good relationship with Qin and turned against him in time. Of course, when this happened, it was not that Qin sent people to persuade him, but that he had foresight and formed an alliance with Qin when he saw that the situation was wrong. After his clever comments, Qin agreed, so that he not only returned with the entire army, but also received a lot of benefits and obtained a lot of spoils.

After saying this, the Queen of the King was of course happy. Although the Queen of the King was very smart, no matter how smart he was, he would not doubt his younger brother and believed in this matter. He praised Queen of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the

Besides, those spoils are real and piled up into mountains. Who dares to doubt it?

Of course, it was Qin Yiren's idea to distribute the spoils to the Qi army. Qin needs him as a treacherous minister to take office, which will be of great benefit to Qin. It is a great good thing to distribute some spoils to him and give him the capital to brag about it.

Tian Dan really doubted this matter, but Tian Dan was seriously ill and was already ill on the bed. What could he do?

"Brother, you are doing this well. Yu Daqi has made great contributions. At present, the Prime Minister is seriously ill and it is difficult to deal with government affairs. You should work harder and do this." The Queen of the King became more and more happy to see Housheng, the younger brother. He focused on the key points and said to King Jian of Qi: "What do you think the King of Qi?"

There is no need to ask this, because King Jian of Qi is extremely attached to her mother. He would not have any objections to what she said. He hurriedly said, "What the queen said is very true. Uncle, you should take more responsibility for this matter."

King Jian of Qi also liked this uncle. He had long wanted to hand over the position of Prime Minister to him, but Tian Dan was there, so he had no choice. Now, Tian Dan was seriously ill and could not even stay. The position of Prime Minister naturally fell on Hou Sheng.

In this way, Hou Sheng began his power journey in Qi State.

Since Qin Yiren entered the Prime Minister's Mansion and assisted Fan Sui in handling government affairs, he has been very busy. The main things he is busy with are two: one is running schools and the other is improving agricultural tools.

The matter of running a school was discussed with Xunzi and Gongsun Longzi. The two strongly supported it and planned to formulate corresponding laws, select museum sites, and select "teachers". Qin Yiren did not devote much energy to it.

Qin Yiren was mainly busy improving the agricultural tools, because it was already winter and it was soon spring. After the trial production, the curved plow was really useful and was unanimously recognized. King Zhao of Qin immediately issued an order to use this new plow during spring plowing.

Food is too important for Qin. Although the time is short and it is not too late to be implemented in the entire Qin State, it would be good if it can be implemented in Guanzhong in the spring of the following year.

In this way, Qin Yiren was so busy that he didn't even have time to rest.

Soon, winter goes and spring comes, and spring comes in a blink of an eye.

In the north of Zhao State, there is a border city called Jiuyuan County, also known as "Zhao Jiuyuan County".

The reason why it is so clear is that the Qin State also has a Jiuyuan County called "Qin Jiuyuan County".

Whether it is Qin Jiuyuan County or Zhao Jiuyuan County, they are important places for China to resist the nomadic peoples such as the Hu people, Xiongnu, Xiu Tu, and Hunxie in the north.

Although it was already March, spring in the north came late, it was still very cold, with few pedestrians and very quiet.

"Get it!" A rapid sound of hoofs broke the tranquility, and a cavalry rushed into Zhaojiuyuan County.

Zhao Jiuyuan County is not big, covering only ten miles of land. However, the city walls are very solid, and it can be said that the city is tall and thick.

There is an official residence in the city, covering an area of ​​dozens of acres and dozens of houses. This is the county magistrate's mansion, and the central location of Zhao's general's mansion in Jiuyuan, guarding Jiuyuan and resisting the invasion of the northern Hu people and the Huns.

In the general's mansion, there was a tall young man standing, who was like a sword unsheathed, and was extremely heroic.

He is the guardian of Zhao State in Jiuyuan, the future god of war, Li Mu!

Behind Li Mu, there were a group of generals. Among them, there was a young man, tall, strong and heroic. He was Li Mu's deputy, the famous Sima Shang.

Sima Shang was also a good general, very appreciated by Li Mu. The two were both superiors and subordinates, and had close friends. In history, after Li Mu was killed, Sima Shang lived in seclusion and disappeared.
