King Yingji of Qin asked Zhao Yi, the general of Qin, to lead 100,000 Qin troops to Anyang, and the exchange of guards with Wang Yu's army stationed in Anyang aroused Ji Kang's vigilance, but did not pay enough attention to it.

He never thought that Qin Wang Yingji would give Yan Guo a fierce counterattack at this time.

At the end of February, the envoy of the Qin State, Lou Zhuan, came to Handan, the capital of Zhao, and secretly visited Zhao Wangdan.

As soon as Zhao Wangdan saw Lou Zhuan, he said to Lou Jun:

"Lou Yan, you are so bold. During the Battle of Changping, you and your son Lou Chang sought to obtain the military intelligence of our Zhao State. Let all the men of my Zhao country die in Changping, and you come to my Zhao country again this time, aren't you afraid that the widow will cut off your head? ”

Lou slowly stepped forward, bowed down to Zhao Wangdan and said:

"As the king goes, as the saying goes: As a human servant, each his own master. During the Battle of Changping, he was the minister of the Qin State, and he should be planning for the Qin State. What's more, my son Lou Chang was also wiped out by the king and his whole family. ”

"The king and the ministers, now that the grievances have been eliminated, there is no need to talk about the previous things. If the king still doesn't understand his hatred, when the minister makes his intentions clear, the king will execute the old minister again, okay? ”

Lou Xuan is a native of Zhao and has also been a minister in Zhao State, so in the face of Zhao Wangdan, he can not be called a foreign minister.

Zhao Wangdan looked at Lou Zhuan, sneered twice, and said, "Say it." ”

"No." Lou bowed slowly.

Zhao Wangdan pondered for a long time after learning about Lou Yan's intention to reach Zhao.

"Are you saying that King Yingji of Qin wants to unite with my Zhao State and cut down Yan together?"

Lou slowly bowed down and said to Zhao Wangdan: "King, yes." When the old minister came to Qin, the king of Qin was already preparing to leave for Luoyi, ready to gather with the kings of various countries to discuss the plan of cutting down Yan. ”

"Lou Yan, do you know? Yan Wang Kang is the widow's nephew, and the Empress Dowager Yan is the widow's sister. Your Qin State is actually planning like this now, let me Zhao Guo and Er and others cut down Yan together. If the widow does this, how will the people of the world view the widow? ”

Lou slowly laughed and said to Zhao Wangdan:

"The king, the minister heard that Yan Wang Kang once said: "The world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit". Today, the Yan State is powerful and located in the eastern part of the Zhao State. The heart of Yan State to annex the world has long been revealed, and Zhao State will meet Yan State sooner or later. ”

"As long as the king agrees to Qin's request, the western part of Zhao will settle down and will no longer be threatened by Qin; As long as the king promised the Qin State to send troops, the five countries would jointly attack Yan, the Yan State would fall, and the eastern part of the Zhao State would no longer be threatened by the Yan State. ”

"Moreover, the king of Qin has promised all countries that Qin will send troops to attack Yan this time, and he will not want an inch of land and money from Yan State, and will divide the land occupied by Yan State to all countries. According to the old minister's view, Zhao will inevitably achieve the greatest benefits. ”

Zhao Wangdan thought for a long time, and said slowly to the building:

"You go down first, by the way, and don't let outsiders know that you have come to Zhao Kingdom."

As soon as Lou Xuan saw Zhao Wangdan's attitude, he knew that this matter could probably be done.

Hurriedly bowed down and said, "The ministers obey the king's edict." ”

Subsequently, Zhao Wangdan brought Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains.

"Uncle Wang, at the moment, King Yingji of Qin wants to connect all countries and cut down Yan together. Now I have sent Lou to come to my Handan, and I want the widow to go to Luoyi to discuss the matter of cutting down Yan, where should I go from Zhao Kingdom? ”

Then he elaborated on Qin Envoy Lou's words and elaborated on Zhao Sheng.

After hearing this, Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, thought for a long time, and said to Zhao Wang Dan:

"Your Majesty, the national strength of the Yan State is increasing year by year, and the threat to my Zhao State is not inferior to that of the Qin State. According to the minister, it is above the Qin State. Now, if the countries are really ready to cut down Yan in a row, Yan will be defeated. ”

"I, Zhao Guo, will also be as Lou Xuan said, after the battle of Yan, I will achieve the greatest benefits. Since then, the threat of Yan State to my Zhao State can be eliminated in one fell swoop, and there will be no more worries. ”

Zhao Wangdan was still a little hesitant, and said to Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains:

"Uncle Wang, Yan Guo has been very friendly with my Zhao Guo over the past few years, and has also helped me Zhao Guo many times. What's more, King Yan Kang is the nephew of the widow, and the Empress Dowager Yan is the widow's sister, how will the world treat the widow if the widow does this? ”

Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, shook his head and said to Zhao Wang Dan:

"Great king, when the first king was alive, he once said: "As a king, how can you talk about personal affairs." Therefore, it will ...... There will be a "change of sand dunes". The king's grandfather, the father of the minister, Wang Wuling, the king ......"

Speaking of this, Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng had tears in his eyes, and he couldn't go on.

During the period of Zhao He, Ji Kang's maternal grandfather and Zhao Huiwen Wang, Zhao Guo broke out the "Dune Change" that shocked the world.

At that time, King Zhao Huiwen wanted to eliminate the influence of his father King Zhao Wuling in Zhao and consolidate his rule in Zhao.

ordered his subordinates to behead his own brother, acquiesced in his subordinates besieging the Dune Palace, and actually starved his father, King Zhao Wuling, who made outstanding contributions to the Zhao State, to death in the Dune Palace.

When Zhao Wangdan heard this, he was silent for a long time.

After a long time, he said to Zhao Sheng in a hoarse voice:

"Uncle Wang, according to what you said, the widow should go to Luoyi and make an alliance with the kings?"

Zhao Sheng nodded and said to Zhao Wangdan:

"Your Majesty, in the opinion of my ministers, my king should go. When our king arrives in Luoyi, it depends on the attitude and situation of each country. First, the king of Qin should swear an oath and not want an inch of land in Yan Kingdom. ”

"Second, if all countries agree to cut down Yan, my Zhao State can cut down Yan again, and let all countries promise to keep the princess and Yan Wang Kang alive, so as to make my king's relatives affectionate."

After listening to the words of Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, Zhao Wangdan said softly to Zhao Sheng: "Good." ”

The capital of South Korea, Xinzheng (now Xinzheng County, Henan Province), the royal palace.

Han Wangran said to the envoy of the Qin State who arrived:

"Envoy, please go back and tell King Qin, what King Qin means, the widow has already understood. I, Korea, will definitely send a large army to follow the Qin army to attack the Yan State this time. ”

The envoy of the Qin State was very satisfied with Han Wangran's attitude, and said to him:

"King, when the foreign minister came to Xinzheng, my king personally informed me that as long as Korea sent troops to attack Yan this time, our Qin and South Korea will be friendly for generations, and Qin will not occupy an inch of South Korea's land in the future."

After the envoy of the Qin State left, he waited for Han Wangran's order to serve the official, and couldn't help but say to Han Wangran:

"King, this time I really want to send troops to follow the Qin State to attack Yan?"

Han Wangran sighed and ordered his closest attendant:

"Lian Heng sent troops to attack Yan, and last year, when the widow and Wei Wangyu went to Xianyang, our Han, Qin, and Wei had reached a secret agreement. If I don't want to lose the country, I can only obey the intentions of the Qin state. Otherwise, my Korea will perish. ”

What's more, King Yingji of Qin has already promised that this time he will cut down Yan, and Qin does not want an inch of land and money from Yan State. Not to mention so much, the widow immediately set out, personally led my Korean army of 50,000, went to Luoyi, swore an oath with the kings, and even crossed Yan. ”

At the same time, in the capital of Wei, Wang Yu of Wei sent away the envoy of King Yingji of Qin.

Zhou Xinyan, who is his closest confidant, said:

"Zhou Qing, this time you know why the widow wants to start a war with Yan Guo! After Yan Wangkang, a little kid, occupied Qi Land, he didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was thick, and he repeatedly bullied my Wei State. ”

"He didn't know that just last year, I, Wei, Qin, and Han had already reached a secret agreement in Xianyang, and were ready to attack Yan even on a rampant basis. Now, as expected, Yan Guo sent troops to attack the defense land and kill himself! ”

Zhou Xin, the secretary of Wei, was still a little worried, and said to Wei Wangyu:

"The king, in the opinion of the ministers, that is, the three kingdoms of Wei, Qin, and Han have attacked Yan even in a row, and the Yan Kingdom is not so easy to defeat. If Zhao and Chu also participated in the battle against Yan, Yan would really be unable to protect itself. ”

Wei Wangyu laughed and said to Zhou Xin:

"Zhou Qing, now, there is no need to hide this matter from you. At the end of last month, King Yingji of Qin had secretly sent envoys to Zhao and Chu to discuss the matter. ”

"King Yingji of Qin has promised me the four kingdoms of Wei, Han, Zhao, and Chu, as long as my four kingdoms will cut down Yan in a row, and the Qin State will not want half of the land and money occupied by the Yan Kingdom."

"Now, the armies of Zhao and Chu have begun to assemble on the border, ready to join the armies of Wei, Qin, and Han. In addition, Zhao Wangdan and Chu Wangwan are also ready to come to Luoyi in person, and the five countries swore an oath in Luoyi to jointly attack the Yan Kingdom. ”

"As long as this time, Jin Suineng will lead the army of my Wei State in Diqiu to resist the army of Yan State. When the reinforcements from other countries have arrived, under the internal and external attacks, the front army led by Jun Lejian of Yan Guochang will inevitably be defeated. ”

"Then, our five-nation alliance can take advantage of the situation and attack the Qi land occupied by the Yan State. The Yan State occupied Qi land, and it was not for a long time, and the people's hearts were not attached. At that time, Qi land will definitely be owned by our coalition forces. ”

When Zhou Xin heard this, he had nothing to worry about when he thought about it.

He hugged his fists and said to Wei Wangyu: "Congratulations to my king, congratulations to my king." ”

Wei Wangyu laughed.
