Getting Simulated By The Empress Is Not My Intention

  Chapter 143 Donghu

  【After you "instigated rebellion" to pretend to be An Guojun, you quickly blocked the news that the real An Guojun was dead, and called his cronies to come to discuss the matter based on his orders. 】

  At An Guojun's family banquet, An Guojun's cronies gathered together.

  Because "An Guojun" quickly blocked the news, most people didn't even know that the real An Guojun had died.

   Several of them sensed something was wrong, but they came in a hurry without much preparation.

   "Where is the lord? Why didn't the lord come?" A close friend asked "An Guojun".

  An Guojun said: "He will be here soon, let's drink first."

  【Everyone drank and ate food, the wine and dishes had been poisoned. 】

   After a while, someone realized something was wrong and asked, "Where is the lord? Why hasn't he arrived yet? Who sent the order to us?"

   "That's right, this is not the style of the lord!"

   "What the **** are you doing?"

  Everyone questioned the fake An Guojun.

  An Guojun smiled and said: "Everyone, don't worry, you can go down to accompany him soon."

  【Everyone was frightened and angry, and just about to resist, the swordsman who had been ambushing earlier killed them. Because everyone was already poisoned, even if they were not poisoned, they were all killed because they were outnumbered by two fists. 】

  【After killing An Guojun's cronies, you really took control of An Guojun's power. An Guojun expressed his surrender to King Yan and was willing to surrender his military power and territory. 】

  …

  Two months later, Zhang Beichen and Yan Qingwu have returned to Jicheng.

  After Guo Guang heard about Zhang Beichen’s operations, he was deeply moved and said, “In terms of personal strength, Zhang Beichen is not as good as me. But in terms of strategy, I am not as good as Zhang Beichen!”

   "Your Majesty, this is a real general and prime minister. It is a pity to let him be an assassin!"

  Yan Qingwu also knew that making Zhang Beichen an assassin was really overkill.

  She reappointed Zhang Beichen as prime minister.

  …

  【Yan Wang appointed a new prime minister, Zhang Beichen. 】When Wei Yao heard the news, she was very angry. If she couldn't open the chat group now, she would definitely have a few words against Yan Qingwu.

   "This Yan Qingwu, who kept saying that she was going to kill Zhang Beichen, actually hid him secretly! Shameless!"

  …

   "It seems that she has also seen Zhang Qing's charm!" Zhao Yun became vigilant. Now that Zhang Beichen is in Yan State, his own Zhao State will be in danger in this round!

  …

   "Is it the country of Yan this time?" Ying Yiren was also observing the information, "It's just that it seems a bit late."

   King Yan only appointed Zhang Beichen as prime minister at this time, and other countries have already entered the right track.

   No matter how powerful Zhang Beichen is, this game will hardly lay the foundation for Yan Guo to compete for the world.

  …

   "Jun Beichen is in the country of Yan, it seems that Yan Qingwu can't escape his temptation!" Han Mengshu secretly laughed.

  …

  After Zhang Beichen was appointed prime minister, he began to manage the reform of Yan State.

   Compared with other countries, Yan State is really too backward. Because it has only been restored to the country for a few decades, various systems are not perfect, and the old system hundreds of years ago is still in use.

  In addition, there is the hidden danger of An Guojun, which delays the development of Yan State.

  When Zhang Beichen took office, he first started to reform.

  【You carried out reforms in Yan State, which attracted opposition from many old nobles. Some of them died suddenly or died suddenly at home, and the voice of opposition quickly disappeared. 】

  【Three years later, the reforms have begun to bear fruit, more and more people support the reforms, and the national strength of the Yan Kingdom has been slightly increased. 】

  At this time, Yan State could not be regarded as a strong country, because both Zhao State and Qi State took the opportunity to invade and occupy the city of Yan State when Lord An made troubles.

  Combined with the fact that the Eastern Hu and the Xiongnu have been plundering all the time, the Yan Kingdom can only barely protect itself and has no ability to go to other countries.

  …

   Just when Zhang Beichen was trying his best to strengthen the Yan Kingdom, Donghu next to him couldn't sit still.

  East Hu plundered the Yan State and the Xiongnu all the year round. If the Huns in the north were also growing, so would the neighboring Yan State.

  If Yan State becomes strong, what will happen to Donghu?

  【Donghu sent 30,000 cavalry to invade, but the defenders were defeated and lost several cities in a row. 】

  The urgent report was sent back to Jicheng, and Yan Qingwu summoned a group of ministers to discuss.

  Li Fu worried: "Eastern Hu cavalry is strong, even the Xiongnu cavalry is no match for them. My country of Yan lacks both horses and knights, so we can only defend the city strictly!"

  Qing Bai said: "The last general is willing to lead troops to resist Donghu."

  Zhang Beichen did not speak, because he has no good way to resist Donghu for the time being.

  The difference between Yan State and Qin State is that Qin people are militaristic. Although the country has been impoverished, there are many good fighters! You only need to cultivate it, and you will have an elite army immediately!

  As for Yan Guo, although they are generous and tragic, they really can't fight.

  Training soldiers requires population, time, energy, money, food, horses, and equipment, all of which are lacking in Yan State. How to train?

   At present, we can only hope that Qingbai can stop the Donghu people and give Yan the developmental breathing time.

  【Yan Wang ordered Qing Bai to lead 100,000 people to resist Donghu. 】

  【East Hu cavalry were extremely fierce and flexible, Qing Bai tried his best to resist, but they were still retreating steadily. 】

  Qing Bai didn't stop her either, Yan Qingwu felt a little headache.

  So, she sent someone to negotiate with the Donghu people.

  Even though the Donghu plundered the land of Yan, they rarely occupied the city of Yan. They themselves were not good at farming and weaving, and they all waited for the people of Yan to plant the grain, weave the cloth, and feed the livestock before they came out to plunder.

  The envoy of Yan State went to Donghu and met the king of Donghu.

  Donghu at this time is a large tribal alliance.

   Donghu King is the leader of the largest tribe. He is so brave that he can tear tigers and leopards alive! He also wore ornaments made of human bones, which looked very scary.

  The envoy of Yan State said to Donghu King: "My king sent me to negotiate peace with you. You have repeatedly invaded my country of Yan. You are deceiving people too much!"

  Hearing his words, all the tribal leaders laughed.

   Someone laughed and said: "We will rob you, what can you do?"

   "Negotiate peace? Who negotiated peace with you? You come to seek peace!"

  East King Hu sarcastically said: "If you want to negotiate peace with me, you are not qualified!"

  The envoy of Yan State was aggrieved, but the country was weak, and his words had no weight.

  He could only say: "How can the king be willing to retreat?"

  The tribal leaders put forward conditions one after another, saying: "Of course they will offer us food, ironware, and pottery!"

   "There are also horses, cattle and sheep!"

   "Silk, I like silk from the Central Plains!"

   "I heard that your King Yan is a big girl with yellow flowers, why don't you send King Yan here to be my concubine!" King Donghu smiled unscrupulously.

  The envoy of Yan State suppressed his anger and said: "If your side has this attitude, then my Yan State would rather fight to the end!"

   "Hahahaha!" Hu people all laughed.

   After laughing, Donghu King's staff reminded him in his ear: "Your Majesty, there is no need to continue fighting. It is enough to find them enough benefits."

  All the people of Donghu are soldiers, but the population is insufficient, so they cannot manage so many cities.

  East King Hu listed a series of conditions, that is, to ask Yan Guo to pay for food.

   In order to obtain a short-term peace, the messenger can only agree to come down.

  The staff reminded King Donghu again: "Your Majesty, don't forget that person. If he is there, Yan Kingdom will become a serious problem for us!"

   King Donghu nodded, and he said to the envoy of Yan State: "The last condition of this king is that you send the prime minister of Yan State Zhang Beichen to Donghu as a hostage!"

  Yan Guo envoy said angrily: "Absurd, how can our prime minister come to be a hostage?"

   "Then the king will not retreat, and just go all the way to Jicheng!" King Donghu said contemptuously, "It's okay to destroy your Yan country!"

  The envoy of Yan State had no choice but to say: "I need to go back to my country and report this matter to the king."

   "Okay, remember, Zhang Beichen must be sent here, otherwise the king will never retreat!" King Donghu threatened.

  …

  【The envoy of the Kingdom of Yan returned to Jicheng and reported the conditions of King Donghu to King Yan. 】

  The ministers were angry: "These conditions are too much. My country of Yan managed to save a little wealth, and they will take it all away!"

   "The prime minister has to go to Donghu as a hostage. In a place like Donghu, there is no return!"

  The last person who went to Donghu as a hostage was none other than An Guojun. The way of death was miserable, so that there was a rebellion of An Guojun.

  Yan Qingwu also said angrily: "Since he disagrees, then I will fight them!"

  During this time, the intimacy between Yan Qingwu and Zhang Beichen has been rising and is about to reach the level of love.

  At this time, Yan Qingwu was already reluctant to let Zhang Beichen die.

  However, Zhang Beichen didn’t think so.

  He knows that Yan Guo is now fighting Donghu, and the only end result is to be destroyed.

   Instead of this, it is better to go to Donghu to look for opportunities. Anyway, it's a simulation. Going to Donghu this time, even if you die, you can still accumulate experience, and you can do better next time.

  He said to King Yan: "Your Majesty, I am willing to go to Donghu as a hostage."

   "Are you going to Donghu? No way!" Yan Qingwu directly refused, "I don't allow it!"

  Zhang Beichen was a little speechless, and Yan Qingwu looked cold-blooded on the surface, but in fact she still had a little girlish temper inside.

  Zhang Beichen had no choice but to say euphemistically: "I went to Donghu, and I happened to go to find out what is wrong with Donghu. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win a hundred battles! If you don't know the enemy, how can you defeat the enemy?"

   "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely protect myself and wait for Master Wang to defeat Donghu!"

   "Are you really going?" Yan Qingwu still hesitated.

   "It's absolutely true!" Zhang Beichen affirmed.

   "Then...you go." Yan Qingwu still agreed.

   After discussing everything, Zhang Beichen went to Donghu as a hostage.

   Outside Jicheng, Zhang Beichen was about to leave when he saw a petite figure standing in front of him.

   "Your Majesty?" Zhang Beichen looked at Yan Qingwu and said with a smile, "Did Your Majesty come here specially to see you off?"

  Yan Qingwu was a little sad at first, but when she heard his words, she put on a vicious expression and said, "You have a good idea! This king is just warning you, your life belongs to this king, and no one can take it away!"

   "Haha!" Zhang Beichen stepped forward and patted her little head.

   "You, **** it, you are disrespectful to this king!" Yan Qingwu said harsh words, but did not move at all.

   "The king bids farewell here. I hope the country of Yan can grow smoothly!" Zhang Beichen said.

   "Don't worry, in a few years, this king will be able to wipe out Donghu in one fell swoop!" Yan Qingwu swore.
