Li You shook his head and respectfully replied: "Nephew is not seeking uncleâs forgiveness for father, this apology is merely fulfilling filial duty."
"After all."
"Nephew understands uncle, if father had not done something truly unforgivable, uncle, as a former close friend, would not have been so indifferent."
Upon hearing Li Youâs words, Han Fei showed a faint smile and then said: "I still stand by my words, Li Si is Li Si, and you are you."
"You may rise now."
"Since you are here today, let us drink together."
Li You slowly stood up: "Thank you, uncle."
"Alright, thereâs no need to discuss other matters today, letâs drink."
"We depart for Yunzhong tomorrow." Zhao Feng said with a faint smile.
As for the trouble caused by Li Si, Zhao Feng had no intention of getting involved.
Ultimately, it was up to Han Fei to decide.
"Using Yunzhong as the base of the camp serves to intimidate both Yan state and Wei state."
"The Great Kingâs strategic foresight, establishing the camp at Yunzhong, indeed achieves multiple benefits." Han Fei remarked with admiration.
"Yes, it indeed serves a deterrent purpose."
"But once the Zhao Territory is completely under control, if Qin raises troops to destroy Wei, Iâm afraid it wonât be my campâs turn, nor Lantian Campâs turn either." Zhao Feng said with a smile.
"Lantian Camp has consecutively subdued two countries and even produced a Shangjiangjun like yourself, if Lantian continues to be deployed, how would the Senior Generals of Northern Frontier and Hangu Pass camps just sit by?"
"Thus."
âYou should be content.â Han Fei couldnât help but tease.
"To make the name of Wuâan substantial."
"One must strive for it."
"If one does not strive, then itâs not to the advantage of a military official." Zhao Feng replied with a smile.
Now he was only one step away from reaching the peak of a military officialâs position.
"Youâre right."
"One must strive for anything."
"This time the accomplishment in managing Zhao Territory was also something I fought for."
"Speaking of."
"This is also for the Great Kingâs balance, perhaps the influence of Wang Wan and his faction is somewhat too significant at the court." Han Fei said with a smile.
"Speaking of."
"I even spoke ill of Wang Wan and his faction in front of the Great King when I was in Xianyang."
"It was after that, the Great King arranged for Hu Hai to attend court and manage affairs." Zhao Feng said with a mischievous smile.
Upon hearing this.
Han Fei looked rather curiously: "You, if Wang Wan and his group find out, theyâll be furious."
"Moreover, those old foxes will probably guess it too."
"Arenât you afraid theyâll retaliate?"
Zhao Feng sneered: "Retaliate?"
"If they have the capability, let them try."
"After all, they brought it upon themselves to provoke me."
"Initially, I had no grievances with them, but they targeted me repeatedly, if I donât retaliate, would I still be a man?"
Han Fei laughed and raised his wine cup: "I like your personality, fearless of everything, come, letâs drink."
"Haha." Zhao Feng laughed heartily and raised his cup to drink together.
Li You quietly watched from the side, observing Zhao Feng and Han Feiâs lively conversation with a hint of envy.
...
Yan state.
Ji City.
"Reporting to the Great King."
"We have just received intelligence from Qin state."
"The King of Qin has issued an edict to establish a new camp, named Wuâan Camp, and the commander of this camp is Zhao Feng, who destroyed Zhao." A Yan minister reported loudly.
"Zhao Feng."
"The twenty-year-old Protector-General, Shangjiangjun."
"He is a great enemy to our Yan."
"Why was this child not born in our Yan but in Qin state?" The King of Yan showed a trace of disappointment on his face.
Now that Zhao and Han are destroyed, with the fall of these two states,
The most fearful one is undoubtedly Wei state, but following it is Yan state.
Of course.
Zhao Fengâs renown spread across the land along with his military achievements, known throughout the world.
A twenty-year-old Shangjiangjun.
Thatâs even more terrifying than Bai Qi of the past.
"Where is this new Qin Army camp established?" The King of Yan asked.
"To the Great King."
"The new Qin Army camp is named Wuâan Camp, established in Yunzhong City." The previously speaking Yan minister said with a grave expression.
"What?"
"Yunzhong City?"
The King of Yanâs expression changed drastically, he naturally understood where Yunzhong City was located, it was the border territory of his Yan state, once a border city of Zhao state.
"The King of Qin established a camp at Yunzhong City, he is clearly... clearly... targeting our Yan." The King of Yanâs face went pale, feeling a strong sense of unease.
"Great King need not worry."
"Qin has no reason to send troops against our Yan, the past misunderstanding with Qin has already been accepted by them, if they were to send troops against our Yan, it would be an unjust cause, the world would condemn them."
A Yan minister immediately spoke up.
"I second this opinion."
"No need to worry about Qin."
"I believe, although the establishment of the new Qin Army camp at Yunzhong is close to our Yan, it is closer to Wei state."
"This move is undoubtedly to deter Wei state."
"Great King need not be concerned."
"Qin and our Yan are still allies, they would certainly not act treacherously."
"Please rest at ease, Great King..."
Each Yan minister advised in succession, reassuring the King of Yan.
Of course.
These words were a mix of truth and lies, among them perhaps were people from Qin planted in Yan, or individuals who, for their own benefit, did not wish to fall out with Qin.
Listening to the words of the court ministers, although deeply uneasy, the King of Yan nodded: "What you ministers say is correct, the establishing of the camp at Yunzhong by Qin is mainly to deal with Wei state, unrelated to our Yan."
"General Qing Qin."
The King of Yan suddenly called out.
"I am here."
A military official at the head of the ranks stepped forward.
"With Zhao Feng commanding the camp at Yunzhong, our Yan should congratulate him."
"You personally go to Yunzhong City to present a congratulatory gift to Zhao Feng on my behalf."
