Dongfang Tian's face showed joy, and he looked at Zimu with great expectation, and asked, "How do you say this, Military Master Zi?"
Xu Yeling and Zimu are both his top advisers, making suggestions. With them around, Dongfang Tian feels extremely at ease.
Zimu said: "Your Majesty, battlefield opportunities are fleeting and the situation is unpredictable! King Yan does have a large number of troops, but there is nothing to be afraid of."
"Moreover! The counselors and ministers under King Yan are all local nobles from Ji, You, and Bing. Although they are outstanding in talent, they are extremely inconsistent within the Yan Dynasty and are divided into three factions."
"Xu is betrothed to the leader of the Bingzhou faction, the leader of Zhou Bo's Jizhou faction, and Ziluo and Xin Ping are local factions in Youzhou. In order to praise the local nobles in Youzhou, the two factions of Bingzhou and Jizhou almost joined forces for their own benefit."
"As for political affairs, the two factions are all against each other. That's it! If the king wants to destroy King Yan, he can also collapse it from within. By then! The land of the three states will all belong to the king."
oh…
Dongfang Tian was extremely surprised, why didn't he think of this! And how did Zimu find out?
"Where did Zi Aiqing get the news?" Dongfang Tian asked.
"Only when you know yourself and your enemy can you be victorious in every battle. Your Majesty is busy with political affairs, so! I made my own decision and sent someone to sneak into King Yan's side to find out what's going on around him." Zimu said.
Dongfang Tian was a little unhappy.
Zimu's arrogance and arrogance were far higher than he imagined. He doesn't report anything but is good at making decisions. Does he still feel like a king in his heart?
Sooner or later, you will have to suffer a big loss due to your own arrogance.
certainly! Dongfang Tian was not a fussy person and soon felt relieved.
"So good!"
"Send the order to the three armies! In three days, they will leave Le'an County and the army will advance into Youzhou to station!"
In these three days, the 150,000-strong army naturally had to eat well and drink well to replenish their spirits so that they would have the strength to carry out endless marches and battles.
And this time! The news that King Qi had stationed heavy troops in Le'an County also reached Beiping County.
Dongfang Ping, who was drinking and having fun with the ministers, immediately couldn't sit still.
even! There was still a hint of joking in his eyes.
It seems to be telling that King Dongfangtian of Qi really overestimates his capabilities.
"Your Majesty! King Qi has arrived at Le'an County. He is obviously going north to attack our city! The top priority is to find a way to defend against the enemy?" Zhou Bo said anxiously.
Before Dongfang Ping could say anything, Xin Ping immediately stood up and opposed him, "Zhou Bo, you must have looked up to Qi Jun!"
"Although he, King Qi, is doing well in Shandong and has three major states in his hands, the threats he faces from all directions are very great."
"And our country, Yan, has more than 600,000 powerful soldiers. Why should we fear the King of Qi's 150,000 foot soldiers?"
Xin Ping's sharp-mouthed and monkey-cheeked appearance immediately made his betrothed dissatisfied. They all worked under the same account, so why were they so aggressive? "Know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. Back then, the Northern Liao army had millions of people, but what happened! Why don't we let the King of Qin give it to him?" The fight almost wiped out the entire army!"
"You underestimate the enemy so much. Where do you want to put our Yan army?"
Xin Ping said: "In this world, there is only one King of Qin! There is only one... King of Qi, how can he compare with King of Qin! And if we, the Yan Kingdom, defeat the King of Qi, we can go south, march straight in, and capture three and a half states of Qi. , then! Become the biggest overlord in the world."
"You can directly drive the imperial court and proclaim yourself emperor in response to heaven. So what if you are the King of Qin? You can't bow down to me, the great Yan, and be my minister."
hiss!
Dongfang Ping rubbed his forehead. Listening to the endless arguments around him, his head felt a headache. "That's enough! I asked you to discuss matters, not to curse in the court."
Damn it, other people's powerful ministers are either making suggestions or sharing the king's worries. It's better for him to be a powerful minister in a big family. Whenever something happens, he will chatter non-stop.
It's as neat as a bustling street.
Seeing Dongfang Ping's tone, something was wrong. The three people who almost got into a fight over this matter quickly retreated to their own camp.
"Your Majesty, in my opinion, the top priority is to raise an army of 400,000 to fight the Qi army. We will first explore the reality with them and then look at the next move." Compared to others, Ziluo's attitude was much more harmonious.
Ziluo's talent and ability are outstanding, ranking above several others. But because of this, he was ignored by Dongfang Ping. He felt that the latter's talent was more brilliant than his own, so! Unfortunate to see.
One thing is clear: Ziluo is not like the other three, who knows how to flatter!
"Okay! Just listen to Ziluo. The 450,000-strong army will increase troops in Shanggu County. Also! Secretly escort the grain and grass needed by the army into Guangyang." Dongfang Ping ordered.
"Culishi, Tian Kai, Zhang Heng, Wenzong, Ziluo, and Zhou Bo went out with Gu to conquer the Qi army."
"promise!"
The generals take orders.
This time, Dongfang Ping brought almost all the generals from his family with him. Looking at the formation, he was preparing to fight Dongfang Tian.
after all! With the current general situation in the world, a battle between Qi Yan and Qi Yan is inevitable. If Dongfang Tianyu wants to dominate the world, he must destroy the Yan State behind him. This is both a strategy and the general trend.
A few days later, Qi's 150,000 troops left Le'an County and directly crossed the border between Qingzhou and Youzhou. Yan's 450,000-strong army prepared to send troops to the area around Gu Commandery.
The Jinyu Haiya Chamber of Commerce who stayed in the two places and the secret guards of the Qin State who had penetrated deeply into each country were also eager to spread the news of the war between Qi State and Yan State to the Qin State.
The sudden war between Qi and Yan was something that none of the kings in the world expected. The imperial court, Chu State, and Chen State were all immediately confused.
Qi State and Yan State are indeed the two major overlords in the east. This war will be fought as soon as possible.
From Jizhou across Bingzhou, you can go straight to Liangzhou. The secret guards rushed for 800 miles, and several horses were killed. It took six days to finally get back to Beiliang.
"Urgent military information, please get out of the way quickly." The secret guard held up the military information and rode straight into the Qin capital.
…
"The king has summoned all the civil and military officials to enter the palace!"
For a time, all the civil and military officials in the capital of Qin hurried to the palace of King Qin under Dongfang Yu's urgent orders.
"My king is a thousand years old!"
"My dear friends, please forgive me without any courtesy!" Dongfang Yu didn't want to talk nonsense with everyone, so he went straight to the topic.
"The secret guards stationed in Jizhou and Qingzhou have received news that the war in the east has begun. Qi State and Yan State are competing for the ownership of the eastern hegemon in the east."
"My dear friends, is this a good opportunity?" Dongfang Yu was more than excited, he was simply overjoyed.
"With the chaos in the east, is this a rare opportunity to expand our territory?" Xu Meng also said.
"Your Majesty! Qi State and Yan State are fighting against each other. For Qin State, this is the best opportunity to send troops to Jingzhou and Wanzhou." Liu Wenqin said.
