When he arrived at the palace, Li Yu heard another surprising news. Mrs. Li, imprisoned in Tianli Palace, strangled Gongzi Yan with his own hands, and burned Tianli Palace, and both mother and son died.

Li Yu sighed in this regard, but he didn't expect that his promise to Zhao Mu could not be fulfilled. But that's good. This was done by Mrs. Li himself, and he had no burden in his heart. After all, if that young master Yan survived, he would not have a good life.

"The general is here." Seeing Li Yu come in, Han Jing greeted him with a smile. The sadness before disappeared at all. Her thin face and her attractive figure that still remained halfway, making people angry when they saw it.

"I will meet the queen at the end."

"What, General, don't want me." Seeing Li Yu bow, Han Jing hugged him coquettishly, not caring about the cold armor on Li Yu's body.

"Little Goblin."

The serious matter that was originally ready to say disappeared in an instant under Queen Jing's invincible charm. Li Yu pinched his delicate chin and kissed him hard, and his hands wandered on the mountain and his buttocks.

At some point, the extremely seductive shouts echoed in the room, as if they were about to vent their long-term uneasiness and worries. The young general who had been patient for a long time also fought against his extremely charming body regardless of everything, and brought the beauty beneath him to the peak of beauty again and again.

As the clouds gathered and the rain stopped, Li Yu hugged the soft body in his arms, slowly pressed the proud mountain with one hand, and softly told the parting lovesickness, which moved the beauty queen.

Amid Queen Jing's reluctance, Li Yu, who had been resting for a while, left the palace. Handan was not yet stable at this time, and as the backbone, he had to guard it.

"...Li Yu was specially promoted to Wu Dingjun and held the seal of prime minister."

"I thank you, the king."

The next day, Prince Qi ascended the throne with the support of all the ministers. Queen Jing Jin was the queen mother and assisted in the government affairs. Li Yu was promoted to prime minister and took charge of the court.

During the previous purge, all the noble ministers who were on the same journey with Zhao Mu had bowed their heads and searched their houses, and some stubborn old ministers were also deprived of their official positions. The court was full of people close to Li Yu, as well as those originally neutral ministers. No one in Li Yu's superior throne spoke out, and no one dared to speak out.

The changes in the court situation in the past few days have caught people off guard. Fortunately, most noble ministers support the prince Qi, which ensures the normal operation of Zhao State.

On the second day after taking charge of the prime minister, Li Yu summoned several envoys and angrily scolded them, and then directly mobilized the army to the borders of various countries. Since he was going to deter him, Li Yu would have a counter-deterrence. Zhao, which had just eliminated the troubles of the Hu people, could mobilize nearly 200,000 elite troops from the northern border to move south. How could he be afraid of anyone?

The northern border is tentatively set to withdraw more than 100,000 troops, and they are all legions composed of Zhao people. Their combat power is not weaker than that of the elite Qin army soldiers.

Just when the 100,000 troops in the northern border were transferred to the border between Zhao and Wei, the newly succeeded King of Yan followed the prime minister Li Fu's plan and used 400,000 troops to attack Zhao, claiming to be 600,000 soldiers, and divided the two armies to invade Zhao territory. Most of the Hu people were eliminated by Zhao, and Yan, which had no worries, was naturally ambitious. He wanted to take advantage of the chaos of Zhao and set the foundation for a strong country.

"The person who is a man who is a good person is just a talkative person. He doesn't need to use the general to play Xin, but he regards himself as a general and Qin as a general, so he seeks humiliation."

When Wang Liao learned of the specific arrangements for the Yan army's attack, he said disdainfully. The Yan army was not afraid of being led by civil officials.

"I want to use Pang Nuan and Le Cheng as generals to attack the Yan army. What do you think?"

"Pang Nuan was mature and persistent. He used to be friends with Lifu, and knew the root of it, so he could stop Lifu's army. Le Cheng was Le Yi's nephew. Le Yi was suspicious of the King of Yan before, and came to my Great Zhao just now. He had no good feelings for Yan State and could stop the Qin army." Hearing Li Yu's decision, Wang Liao instantly figured out the key point and expressed his support.

With the approval of Wang Liao, a great military talent, Yu Qing and others naturally would not have any opinions. Moreover, General Li Mu was still stationed in the northern border, so there was no need to worry about the situation. The only thing to note is that the war should not be delayed for too long to prevent other countries from moving.

Although the army of all countries has left the border, things are unpredictable in the world and no one knows whether there will be any changes.

Seeing the consent of all the gentlemen, Li Yu summoned Pang Nuan and Le Cheng. Li Yu, who now monopolizes the government, does not need to take into account the opinions of the other ministers. He just needs to report to Empress Dowager Jing and King Qi of Zhao later. Although Li Yu hates powerful ministers, the situation in Zhao cannot tolerate any hesitation. If he cannot stop the general trend of Qin's unification of the world, Zhao can only perish as in the original history.

"I've met the Prime Minister."

"The two generals must know that the 600,000 troops of Yan State invaded our Da Zhao. The minister wanted to use the two generals as generals to fight against the Yan army. I wonder what the two generals thought?" Li Yu did not make any politeness and directly expressed his purpose of summoning the two.

"But by the orders of the Prime Minister."

Hearing that they were allowed to lead, Pang Nuan and Le Cheng's eyes were filled with excitement, especially Le Cheng, whose hands clasped their fists couldn't help but tighten a little.

For the general for decades, he has experienced countless battle formations, but he is only a title of a nobleman. Even if he can embroider a son, he is only a title of a nobleman. How could Pang Nuan be willing to be willing? Now that the new king has ascended the throne, Li Yuchu is the prime minister. It is the time to win over the hearts of the people. Pang Nuan believes that as long as he makes great contributions, he will definitely be able to move towards the position of a prince. No matter how bad he is, he can still be shaded by another son, and he will not be the title of a nobleman. The Grand Sikong, who suddenly jumped from the title of a senior official, is a clear proof.

Le Cheng never thought that he would lead the army alone so soon. You should know that he had followed Zhao Mu before, but although he surrendered later, he could not change the stain. However, Li Yu asked him to lead the army alone and face the Yan army. His long-standing dream was about to become a reality. How could Le Cheng not be excited? Following his uncle who was once the commander of the Five-Nation Alliance to escape to Zhao State, Le Cheng always remembers this shame, thinking about how to make Yan State pay the due price every day, which is why he is so persistent in utilitarianism. Unexpectedly, this day came so quickly, Le Cheng couldn't help but feel loyal to Li Yu.

"I wonder how many soldiers the two generals need?" Li Yu was very satisfied when he saw the two ambitious generals. Compared with Yan State, their generals in Zhao State were better.

"The person who is Lifu is not aware of the soldiers, no matter how many troops there are, it is useless. The prime minister only needs to give the last general 50,000 troops, and the last general will let the Yan army come and go." In order to achieve greater achievements, Pang Nuan expressed the bottom line in his heart. Even if Li Yu needs to win over the hearts of the people now, if he does not have enough merit, it will be difficult to overcome the hurdle of the king. Knowing Lifu's personality, Pang Nuan naturally has enough confidence to repel the Yan army. The combat power of the Zhao army and the Yan army is not at the same level, let alone defeating the Hu people and the powerful Zhao army elites, with one battle of ten, are extremely relaxed.

"Yan army is weak, so it is not worth fearing. The last general agrees with General Pang Yuan's intention." It is similar to Pang Nuan's idea. While Le Cheng wants to realize his wish to revenge, he naturally wants to achieve greater achievements so that he can gain a foothold in the new Zhao Kingdom.

"Okay. I will give the two generals 100,000 troops. I only have one request, that is, let my Da Zhao's iron cavalry break through Jicheng."

"We will let the King of Yan carry the thorns and apologize for the crimes and promote the power of my Great Zhao."

After hearing Li Yu's purpose, Pang Nuan and his two men were excited and stepped on Yandu. How could such great achievements fall into the hands of others?

After deciding to lead the army, Li Yu drew 90,000 soldiers and 10,000 cavalry from Handan and Northern Xinjiang to fight against the Yan army. He had just confiscated millions of gold and the strong support of the Wu family and Guo family, Li Yu directly drew 10,000 elite soldiers from the Northern Xinjiang army and armed them into cavalry, which made Pang Nuan and the others very happy.

Ignoring the battlefield in the north. Li Yu began to turn his attention to the southern border. At this time when he was in power and established his authority, he naturally had to take a good grasp. In addition to defeating Yan State, Li Yu also had to give other countries a little warning. The Qi State, which had been making small moves behind his back, naturally became the best target for Li Yu to kill the chicken to warn the monkey.

Without much experience in the court, Li Yu could only use successive victory to consolidate his position and establish absolute authority, laying a solid foundation for subsequent reforms.

On January 20, the Zhao Kingdom's 100,000 soldiers of the State of Zhao faced 600,000 Yan troops, and the world attracted attention.

Although the Yan army was crowded with people, its commander Li Fu was proud and underestimated the enemy. He thought that the Zhao army had experienced a great war and unstable court changes, so he divided the two armies to attack Zhao State. Given that the Yan army had long journeys and was short of people, Pang Nuan and Lecheng decided to adopt the strategies of defeating each.

General Li Mu led his army to defend Dai land, attracting the attacking Dai Yan army to go south to rescue. Pang Nuan led 60,000 soldiers to fight against the main force of the Yan army.

After fighting with the Yan army several times, Pang Nuan was defeated and retreated. Li Fu was overjoyed when he saw this and thought that the Zhao army was unbearable. He personally led the army to pursue it for several days until the country.

Faced with hundreds of thousands of Yan troops pursuing, Pang Nuan, who had been defeated several times, purged the army and faced the exhausted Yan army. After experiencing the victory of the Hu people, the Zhao army was magnificent and shared the same hatred of the enemy. They all fought bravely and defeated the Yan army, and even killed his commander Li Fu in the chaos.

When the Yan army of the attacking Dai heard the defeat of the attacking army, the commander was killed and the army was shaken. Le Cheng, who had been waiting for a long time, led 10,000 elite cavalry to launch a raid, cooperated with 30,000 soldiers to quickly defeat the Yan army and captured the Yan army's chief general Qing Qin.

In just half a month, the Yan army, which claimed to be 600,000, was defeated.

According to the strategy set by Li Yu, Pang Nuan and Lecheng led their troops to pursue hundreds of miles, enter the Yan territory, and encircle the Yan capital Jicheng.

The disaster of Yan State was shocked, and the rulers and ministers of all countries were shocked, and they also withdrew the army that had previously deterred Zhao State back to their garrison.

"...My king wants to take the King of True De as his own, give him 100,000 gold to sever the land of ten cities. I hope that King Zhao will forgive my king for listening to the country that believes in slander and withdraw his troops from our Yan State."

Looking at the Yan envoy below begging for mercy earnestly, the young King Qi of Zhao was naturally extremely excited. However, with his mother and Prime Minister Li Yu present, he could only keep a serious look and speak according to the predetermined plan: "The King of Yan believed in slander, which caused my Great Zhao to lose tens of thousands of children. How could he be careless? Though the King of Yan had the same friendship with my Great Zhao, I summoned the army to return to China. However, I asked for twenty cities of Yan State and 300,000 gold to make up for the military expenditure of our Great Zhao State. In addition, the Kingdom of Yan State must not station troops on the border of Yan State, otherwise my Great Zhao Iron Cavalry would once again step on Ji City."

"Foreign minister thanked King Zhao." When he heard that Zhao State was willing to withdraw his troops, Yan envoys would take care of the compensation. Now Yan State is facing the danger of national destruction, Ji City may be broken at any time, and he will agree to any conditions, not to mention that this is still some distance from his bottom line.

After the Yan envoy retreated, Zhao Wangqi finally couldn't help but ask Li Yu, who was heading down,: "Sir Li, for some reason, did not destroy Yan State, but agreed to return to the country?"

"I wonder if the king has read the reform strategy I have given me?" Without directly answering Zhao Wangqi's question, Li Yu asked back.

"I have seen it. It is really the strategy of our great Zhao strong country. But my army can attack Yan land and break Jicheng every once in a while. Why..."

As he was talking, a flash of inspiration flashed in King Zhao's mind, and he thought of something inappropriate, but he couldn't figure it out for a moment, which made him a little upset.

"When did the king figure this out, it was when I reformed and strengthened the country in Zhao." Seeing that King Qi of Zhao began to think, Li Yu was very pleased. Mr. Xun, who was known as the emperor's teacher, was still very good at it.

It’s not that Li Yu didn’t want to destroy Yan State, after all, which general did not want to take the merit of destroying the country. However, Zhao State had just collected tens of thousands of Hu people and was on the throne to alternate, so there were many internal worries. If Yan State was taken at this time, it would not be a good thing for Zhao State. It would take a long time to digest the land of several counties. What’s more, the destruction of Yan State would also arouse the vigilance of the other countries.

Once Zhao is in great power, Qin and other countries will conspire, Zhao will not be able to resist it at all. Even if it is blocked, it will be severely damaged. Li Yu, who knows that time is urgent, will not be able to spend money. Let Yan keep it, so that Zhao can concentrate on reform and strengthen itself.

Only by reforming and strengthening the country can Zhao compete with Qin, which is a country that is awesome to the six countries in Shandong. Furthermore, after Zhao is strong, the land of Yan is within reach.

Seeing the love man and his son getting along well, Han Jing was very happy in the hall, and a little emotional surged in her heart. She looked at the handsome face of the young prime minister and looked a little more charming.

When Li Yu left the palace, it was already nightfall. Li Yu, who returned to the prime minister's mansion, issued an order overnight, asking 50,000 soldiers transferred to the dunes in the northern border to force the river to cross the river and capture Qi on the ground of the Qi army's invasion of Zhao.

However, in a few days, 50,000 Zhao army soldiers led by general Zhao Gu, and led several cities to annihilate more than 10,000 Qi troops. The Qi State was shocked. At the same time, Zhao State also transferred the army attacking Yan to Qi, looking like he would never give up.

Faced with the aggressiveness of the Zhao army, the Qi army was unable to resist, so they quickly cede land and seek peace, and sent it to the land of ten cities. The Zhao army, who achieved the goal of establishing their authority, also returned to the west of the river.

The successive victory shocked the monarchs and ministers of all countries, and also allowed Li Yu, who had just become the prime minister, to gain a foothold. Li Yu, who had gained popularity, then promulgated a new law.

The new law at the beginning only involved all the laws and criminal laws in the military, and did not arouse opposition from the great nobles. In addition, the previous purges, this new law that took Han Fei several years of hard work was successfully implemented.

Zhao State began to move towards reform and strengthening the country.
