"According to your order, I will be in charge of the defense of Jicheng."

In the school grounds in Jicheng, the doctor and the officers and soldiers of the Yan army looked down at them, their brows full of pride that could not be concealed.

Tens of thousands of Wei troops captured Zhongdu, and their troops were directed towards Jicheng, the capital of Yan. At this time, the situation was undoubtedly critical for the Yan state.

But this is not an opportunity for him, Zihe.

If the Wei army hadn't pressed down on the territory, how could he have taken advantage of the situation and taken the military power in Jicheng into his own hands.

As his thoughts flowed here, Zihe's eyes subconsciously looked in one direction, and a trace of disdain suddenly appeared in his eyes.

If it weren't for the current ignorance of Duke Yan, how could there be the current troops approaching the city; if it weren't for the current confusion of Duke Yan, this military power would never have been in his hands.

Sure enough, God is taking pity on his son!

The carriage moved quickly through the streets of Jicheng, but the smile on Zi He's face in the carriage never dissipated.

"Xilulu..."

It wasn't until the neighing of the horses echoed in his ears and the carriage stopped that Zihe stopped smiling and walked out of the carriage.

"My lord."

"Has my son ever returned home?"

"Young master is waiting for your Majesty in the study."

After getting the whereabouts of his son Zi Zhi from his confidant, Zi He walked hurriedly towards the study room in the mansion.

"Meet Father."

"My son doesn't need to be polite." Ping stepped back and faced Zi Zhi alone. As a father, Zi He asked directly: "What's the situation in Jicheng?"

"Father, everyone in Jicheng is talking about the news that the Wei army is about to attack the city, and Jicheng will fall soon."

"What's more, some people are already saying that the Yan State should not send troops to anger the Wei State. The Wei army is going to destroy the Yan State in one fell swoop."

"Hehehe..."

When Zihe heard these rumors, he felt ridiculous and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"It's just the unfounded worries of ignorant people." Turning his eyes to Zi Zhi, Zi He said with some doubts: "What do you think of the current situation?"

"Father." After bowing and bowing, the son immediately started talking, "My son thinks that although it is just a rumor in the market, there is some merit in it."

"Today, your Majesty only sees the small and immediate benefits, but ignores the hidden and huge dangers. He has offended the powerful Wei State by sending troops rashly."

"At this time, if you can be like Duke Zhuang of the Lu Kingdom in the past, you may not be able to defeat the many with the few, and the weak with the strong."

"It's just a pity that today's Yan State is not the Lu State of the past, and today's king is not the former Lu Zhuang Gong. This war that should not exist has made Jicheng's people even more confused."

At the end of the conversation, Zi Zhiman said with certainty: "If a war really starts, our army will definitely be defeated."

Although he did not comment on his son's judgment, the relief between his eyebrows still showed his mood at the moment.

"Then in this current situation, how should I, Zi, deal with myself?"

"The son thought that his father's daring action in the court yesterday was really a masterstroke."

As the person closest to Zihe, Zizhi certainly understood that his father was not very loyal to Duke Yan, but on the contrary, he had ambitions to replace him.

The state of Jin had three families, Zhao, Wei, and Han, and the state of Qi had the Tian family. The orthodoxy of the Zhou family ceased to exist hundreds of years ago.

I would like to ask him how the Zi family could not replace the public office and become the new owner of the land of Yan State?

Zi Zhi, who has been instilled with this idea since he was a child, like his father, has ambitions in his heart that are difficult for others to fathom.

"Your Majesty is always fierce in appearance but sad in heart. When you hear that the Wei army is approaching the city, your heart will be at a loss. My father's words will definitely make your Majesty trust my father and grant him the authority to respond to the opportunity."

"With great power in hand, the initiative is also in the hands of my son. The son thinks that his father should do two things."

"First, send your confidants out of the city quickly to contact the Wei army and win Wei's support for my Zi family."

"Second, send more elites to monitor every move in the palace. Once the time is right, we can send troops to capture the king."

"When the army successfully enters the city, in order to reward the meritorious ministers and to appease the hearts of the Yan State, the Wei State will most likely grant the title of Duke of Yan to my father."

"Hahaha……"

Zihe's thoughts continued to flow along with Zizhi's words, and it seemed as if he could replace Duke Yan and ascend the throne before his eyes.

After a moment, Zihe suppressed his smile and said solemnly, "Send someone quickly, no, I will write a letter for my father immediately, and you will personally deliver it to the hands of the Wei army general."

"Here."

For the changes that were about to happen in the Yan Kingdom, the Wei army general Sun Boling and the pioneer Gongsun Yan had actually been prepared for it.

In fact, the reason why the Wei army was able to dominate the territory of Yan State as if it were in an uninhabited country was that in addition to the powerful combat power of the Wei army, it also relied on the assistance of internal agents.

And this internal agent hidden among the top officials of Yan State is none other than Duke Yan's favorite minister, Zihe, the senior official of Yan State.

While inciting Duke Yan to join the alliance with the Zhongshan State and send troops to attack Yecheng of the Wei State, Zihe also sent people to build a line with the Wei State and revealed to Wei the news about the Yan State and even the coalition forces with almost no concealment.

country.

As for Zishi's plot, the monarchs and ministers of the Wei state responded in a very simple way.

Take advantage of the situation!

Taking his eyes away from the silk book in his hand, Sun Boling, the commander-in-chief of the Wei army, began to look at Zi Zhi in front of him.

If his prediction was not wrong, Zishi was preparing to follow the example of the Tian family in the past and sacrifice the interests of the country in exchange for the interests of his own family.

After a moment of silence and some weighing in his mind, a smile suddenly appeared on Sun Boling's face.

"But please rest assured, doctor, I will definitely cooperate with the doctor's actions."

"Thank you, General. The situation in Jicheng is urgent and Zizhi must rush back immediately."

"In this case, I won't stay much longer. Come here!"

When he watched Zizhi leave under the guidance of his personal guards, Sun Boling's eyes turned to Gongsun Yan who was standing aside.

"Rhino Shou, what do you think of Zishi?"

"As a favored minister of Duke Yan, I have great trust in you, but I secretly interact with you in the Wei Dynasty. I will eventually think that the Zi family has a big plan."

"Yes." He nodded slightly in agreement, and Sun Boling continued to ask: "Then how should our army deal with itself?"

"Reporting to Sima, now the Central Government is in the hands of our army, the capital of Yan, Jicheng, is right in front of us, and our army is already in an invincible position."

"Should we cooperate with the Zi family and cooperate internally and externally to capture Jicheng? Or should we just sit back and watch the civil strife in Yan and wait until the snipe and the clam quarrel and then the fisherman will profit."

"Only between the King, the Prime Minister and Sima."

"color!"

A cheer fell, and the general Sun Boling stood up directly, "Before entering Yan, the king and the prime minister granted me full power."

"Since Zi has such a plan, we will sit here in the central capital to see how he will act."
