"How could you have forgotten about this!" Ying Zheng's expression changed slightly, his brows furrowed, revealing a hint of seriousness.

The wicked man acted too rashly this time, without any plan whatsoever. He only cared about fighting and completely ignored these matters. They will have to take care of the aftermath.

The veteran generals, including Meng Ao, also looked grave. It was because they trusted the wicked man too much that they hadn't thought of this matter.

The attack on Yan was very different from the previous conquest of Han and Wei. Once they left their own country, they entered the territory of another country, and there was no involvement of any third-party forces.

The State of Yan was located in the north and behind Qi and Zhao. If one wanted to attack Yan, the only option was to borrow a route from Zhao or Qi.

"This matter requires careful consideration!" Ying Zheng rubbed his temples, feeling frustrated.

Meng Ao pondered for a moment, his brows furrowing even more. "Just as the Minister of Justice said, asking the State of Zhao for passage is nothing short of a pipe dream. It's already a miracle that he didn't take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack on the Grand Commandant's rear. How could we possibly ask for passage?"

"It is indeed not difficult to borrow a passage from the State of Qi, but we must be wary of Qi turning against us at the last minute."

"Previously, the Qin state pursued a strategy of befriending distant states while attacking nearby ones. The Qi state was separated from our country by Han and Wei, so our vigilance was not high. Now, Han and Wei have both fallen into our hands, and the Qi state is right before our eyes."

"If we destroy the Yan state, our country will have achieved great success, and the Qi state will be put on the defensive, unable to attend to both ends. In that case, the Qi state can no longer remain uninvolved."

Meng Ao was the supreme general of Qin. With Efu and Wang Jian absent, who in military affairs could surpass him? Yet he remained so solemn, which shows how complex the matter was.

A heavy silence fell over the hall as Ying Zheng and his officials pondered, trying to find a perfect solution.

"We have to do it, even if it's difficult. The Grand Commandant has already gone. Are we just going to abandon him?" Meng Can said immediately when he saw that the crowd was not optimistic.

In terms of who benefited most from the destruction of the Yan state, who was the one who was most at fault?

Naturally, as the Grand Minister of Agriculture, who was in charge of Qin's finances, he was irresistibly drawn to the enormous wealth brought by the destruction of the state. He most desired that the wicked man would destroy the state of Yan, and this desire even surpassed that of Ying Zheng.

"Grand Minister of Agriculture, please calm down. The Grand Commandant has already set off; how can we ignore him?" Ying Zheng looked up at the anxious Meng Can and began to reassure him.

"Haha, what's so difficult about that?"

Suddenly, a laugh rang out in the quiet hall. Everyone subconsciously looked toward the source of the sound and were disappointed to see that it was Feng Jie, who was known for his impeachments.

Ying Zheng didn't have high hopes for him, but still gave him face and asked, "Feng Jie? What brilliant plan do you have?"

Feng Jie smiled confidently, “Your Majesty, why should we worry? The Grand Commandant is a man of great talent and strategy. Since he has left without saying goodbye, we might as well let him handle it himself.”

"The Grand Commandant is incredibly cunning; if he can't do anything, he can't just force his way through, can he?!"

Why should we trouble ourselves?

This statement made everyone's eyes light up. It really was a case of being too clever for one's own good. If we were to say who in the Qin court was the most cunning, it would undoubtedly be the wicked man.

Why are they meddling in this? They should just let the person who started it handle it themselves.

"Feng Jie is absolutely right!" Ying Zheng nodded, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes. "Since the wicked man has already taken action, we should trust his abilities. If he wasn't confident, he would have sent someone back to report. The fact that he left without saying goodbye and didn't mention this matter suggests that he may already have a plan."

Meng Ao echoed, "Your Majesty is absolutely right. The Grand Commandant is always cautious in his actions, and he would never act rashly without a foolproof plan. Our anxiety here might only interfere with his plans."

After hearing this, Meng Can gradually calmed down. As far as he was concerned, as long as he didn't have to recall his wicked husband, there was still hope. He could just wait to count the money.

Ying Zheng surveyed his ministers, his voice carrying a hint of determination, "Since we have decided to trust the Grand Commandant, we should simply provide him with the necessary support."

"Meng Can, you immediately begin preparing provisions and follow-up support to ensure that the Grand Commandant has no worries about the rear at the front."

"At the same time, Yang Duanhe was instructed to closely monitor the movements of the states of Qi and Zhao in order to prevent any unforeseen events."

The atmosphere inside the hall gradually eased, and Ying Zheng and his officials began to arrange various matters in an orderly manner, providing a solid backing for the evil husband's actions.

......

"Grand Commandant, is it appropriate for us to leave without saying goodbye?" Zhang Erhe's face was still somewhat uneasy. Throughout history, there have been very few ministers who acted like this wicked man.

Even if they exist, the consequences are always extremely tragic!

"What's there to be afraid of?" The wicked husband said nonchalantly, rolling his eyes at Zhang Erhe and shaking his head. "What's inappropriate about it? My elder brother is getting married soon, so as his younger brother, I have to give him a presentable wedding gift."

Zhang Erhe was speechless. When it came to twisted logic and heresies, who could out-argue the wicked man?

......

On Mount Zhu.

"Black Dragon Armored Army, heed my command!"

"I order you all to hurry to Gaocheng and meet up with the Grand Commandant!"

When the envoy from the palace arrived at Zhushan and read out Ying Zheng's royal decree, the entire Zhushan area immediately became bustling and noisy.

A short while later.

Erniu and Chuning, leading the Black Dragon Armored Army, descended Zhushan Mountain with murderous intent, galloping on horseback through the streets of Xianyang City, and heading straight east out of the city gate.

They knew that the wicked husband was definitely going to Yan to seek revenge. They had been holding back their anger for a long time and wished they could fly to Yan right now and start a massacre.

As evening fell, the wicked man and the Black Dragon Armored Army met up in Gaocheng, and then headed straight for Yecheng without stopping.

Ye City.

Wang Jian arrived in Ye City ahead of time. Although he did not know when the King and the wicked man would attack Yan, this did not prevent him from making preparations for war.

As the supreme general of the Qin state and one of the four great generals of the Warring States period, he was naturally very organized. After arranging everything, he began to study how to attack Yan.

He also encountered the problem of passing through, but after racking his brains, he could not find a suitable solution. He even went so far as to consult local gazetteers in an attempt to find a way to pass through.

At the same time, the evil man and the Black Dragon Armored Army also arrived in Ye City. Upon hearing the news, Wang Jian immediately went out of the city to welcome them.

When the two met, they inevitably exchanged pleasantries.

That night, the two of them got together, eating and chatting.

Wang Jian laid out all his doubts, hoping to find out if his wicked husband had any clever plans.

Upon hearing this, the wicked husband laughed and said, "General, your cleverness has backfired. Is your Wang Li still unmarried?"

"Huh?!" Wang Jian was a little confused. How did the conversation about the war turn into his grandson's marriage?

The wicked man took a sip of wine and laughed, "I'll use this marriage alliance to appease the Qi Kingdom. I've brought all the betrothal gifts."

Last night, at the palace banquet, Wang Jian was the only one not to be seen. After Meng Can, the loudspeaker, confirmed that Wang Jian had come to Ye City to personally oversee and mobilize the army, this plan came to mind.

Wang Jian is the supreme general of Qin, second only to himself in rank. Wang Li is now extremely well-trained. With such family background and ability, a marriage alliance with Qi is a great honor for them.
