The king of Qin got the title of prince and said to the ministers: "Yan is in turmoil, and the Qi army takes advantage of the fire to rob. The previous King of Zhao sent people to ask the widow to send troops to help the Yan State, the Qin State and the Yan State are thousands of miles apart, what is the benefit of the widow sending troops? Therefore, he did not agree. But now the prince of Yan Guo asks for help, and the son of Yan Guo is the nephew of the widow, how can the widow not help each other? What do you think? ”

Keqing Zhang Yi said: "The king is competing with the Qi State, and now helping the Yan State is to thwart the conspiracy of the Qi State." If Yan died in Qi, it would be greatly detrimental to Qin. The minister thought that it was the right time for the king to send troops to save Yan at this time. ”

It turned out that Yan Yihou, the biological mother of Gongzi, was the daughter of King Qin Huiwen, that is, Meng Huan. The marriage between Qin and Yan was also a policy of long-distance friendship and close attack. As the nephew of King Qin, Gongzi has this relationship, which is also considered by King Zhao Wuling when he was determined to establish Gongzi and enter Yan as the new monarch.

Shangqing Gan Mao, Da Liang Zao Sima Cuo and others all thought that Qin could benefit by sending troops to help Yan State, so the King of Qin made a decision and ordered tens of thousands of troops stationed on the border of Zhao State to march into Yan State in two ways to help Yan State and drive out the Qi army.

When the Qin State had already captured many lands in Zhao, Wei, and Korea, and stationed troops on the border, this time after receiving the order of the King of Qin, the Qin army immediately marched towards the Yan State.

Although the king of Qi relied on the strength of the Qi army and wanted to fight the Zhao army in the territory of Yan State, he miscalculated and did not expect the king of Qin to send troops. Because Qin and Qi have always been allies before, the two countries are one east and one west, and they are two heroes of each other, and their interests outweigh conflicts. It's just that during the reign of King Huiwen of Qin, the state of Qi was strong and had the heart to compete for the world, and the relationship with the allies of the Qin state began to loosen, but it did not reach the point of sending troops to fight.

However, this time, the Qin State suddenly sent troops, disrupting the plan of the King of Qi. The Qin army is the division of tigers and wolves, although the Qi general Kuang Zhang is a famous general for a while, but the army plundered in the Yan country, has already lost the hearts of the people, the people of the Yan country, seeing the Qin army coming, they have helped the Qin army, when the king of Zhao Wuling and the strong soldiers stationed in the Yan realm. The Qi army was already old, its spirit had declined, and it was isolated, so it could not meet the Qin army, and it was crushed at the first touch, Kuang Zhang could not stand still, so he had to lead his troops to withdraw from Yan Realm and return to Qi.

King Xuan of Qi saw that the Qi army had indeed failed and returned, so he believed Meng Ke's words and said regretfully: "The widow is ashamed of Mencius!" ”

Mencius was disappointed when he saw that King Xuan of Qi was just setting a model for himself as a moral model, and that he could not realize his benevolent government in the state of Qi.

The Qi army was defeated by the Qin army and expelled from the Yan realm. King Wuling of Zhao sent Le Chi to escort Gongzi into Jicheng, and when the Yan people heard that Gongzi was coming, they were all overjoyed and enthusiastically welcomed.

In the spring of 313 B.C., King Wuling of Zhao supported the prince to enter the Yan Kingdom as the king, did the affairs of the Yan King, re-established the Zongmiao Sheji, announced the princes, and the Yan State was restored, and the prince was the later King of Yan Zhao.

At the beginning of his tenure, the country was ruined, devastated, and in ruins. And Yan is located in the border of the north, the land is not wide, the population is not abundant, and the talent is even more scarce, it is the weakest country among the seven heroes, and after this disaster, it is even worse.

Fortunately, Gongzi has always had a good reputation, and when he returned to China this time, he was quite supported by the Yan people. Today, the prince is newly established as Yan Jun, and the whole Yan country is still jubilant and full of expectations for the new leader of the country.

Gongzi first made people have a generous courtesy, thanked Zhao Wuling King for his kindness, and thanked Qin Jun, and sent an envoy into Qin, with a national letter to tie the good of the nephews and uncles of the two countries.

King Wuling of Zhao saw that the Yan Kingdom was ruined, and the new monarch was newly established, fearing that he would be invaded by the Hu people in the north, and the soldiers and horses of Zhongshan State were strong, and he had captured more than ten cities in the south of Yan State.

The king of Zhongshan was shocked by the military strength of the Zhao army, so he accepted it when he saw it, collected his troops and stopped fighting, and sent an envoy to Yan to be the king of Yan.

Yan Jun established the country at the beginning, the strength was weak, Zhongshan captured more than ten cities of Yan State, Yan Guo was helpless for a while, now the King of Zhongshan came to congratulate, Yan Jun treated it with courtesy, and agreed that the two countries should maintain the status quo, and do not want to fight again.

Yan civil strife, the country talents are scattered, the former ministers of the former Yan Wang, also more than sick out, now the prince is back to the country as the king, the people support, so the old ministers are back again, to help Yan Jun clean up the chaos, rectify the national government, Yan gradually regained its vitality.

Two years later, in 311 B.C., Yan Jun had settled the interior, Yan was able to recover from the trauma of the disaster, and the country gradually stabilized.

After King Yan Zhao ascended the throne, he recruited talents, made great efforts, and made the weakest Yan State in the Seven Kingdoms once extremely strong, 28 years later, King Yan Zhao ordered to send troops to attack Qi, almost destroying the Qi State, and finally reported the shame of being destroyed by the Qi State before, which is a later story.

Besides, when Gongzi returned from South Korea, he didn't have time to say goodbye to Xiaofeng and other Liangzhou heroes, so he sent a letter to Hanzhong to inform Xiaofeng, Xiaofeng heard that Gongzi had returned to China, and his heart was also very happy, so he wanted to lead Liangzhou Haojie to see off Gongzi, and the messenger took out a letter, saying that Gongzi's return this time was with the help of King Zhao's power, and the future was not yet decided, so he asked Liangzhou Haojie not to come to see him off for the time being, so as not to cause doubts among the princes and monarchs.

After reading the letter, Xiaofeng woke up in his heart, and said to the messenger: "My brother is the grandson of the king of Yan, and the major event of recovering the country, relying on the help of the princes, my brother's situation, I and other Liangzhou heroes also know clearly. Since my brother has this advice, I will obey it. Please tell my brother that if there is a need to use his life, he only needs to send an order to Hanzhong, and Liangzhou Haojie will go immediately. ”

The envoy went back to Korea, and Xiaofeng did not come to see off Gongzi, wishing Gongzi to return to the throne as soon as possible and glorify the Yan Kingdom. Xiaofeng is still in Hanzhong, sending people to contact Haojie while inquiring about the news of various countries.

At that time, the Qin State had already sent troops to help the Yan State restore the country, and the two countries became nephews and uncles, and the Qin State had the Yan State to contain the Qi State in the east, so they concentrated on using troops in the south to deal with the Chu State.

The Qin army attacked 25 cities of Yiqu in a year, and the Yiqu can no longer have the strength to fight back, and the threat to the west of the Qin State was lifted, so he freed up his hands and turned the army and horses to attack the Chu State.

The plot of Chu is from Zhang Yi. As early as six years ago, King Chu Huai served as the commander of the longitudinal unit, and led the troops of Han, Zhao, Wei and Yan to attack Qin in two ways, although he was finally defeated by Qin, but King Chu Huai became famous.

The state of Chu took advantage of the gradual loosening of the alliance between Qin and Qi, and took the opportunity to win over the state of Qi and form the alliance of Qi and Chu to deal with the state of Qin.

Zhang Yi said to King Qin Zhaoxiang: "Today, the seven heroes are divided into three classes, the first class, Qin, Qi, Chu Ye, the second class, Wei, Zhao Ye, the third class, Han and Yan also. The king had just defeated Han Wei and Zhao Zhuyan, and Zhao and Yan were both Qin allies, and only Qi Chu was allied to Qin State, which was a great harm. Now the great king must not refrain from cutting down Chu to get rid of this evil. ”

King Qin asked, "The widow is willing to listen to the master's plan!" ”

Zhang Yi said: "The previous king took Bashu, Chu didn't dare to move, but sent someone to make friends with me, which shows that although Chu is big, he is afraid of the king!" Looking at the Hanzhong land of Chu State, the king can take it. ”

King Qin said: "The widow took Bashu, although Chu did not dare to interfere, but he never made a good relationship with the widow, where did Mr. come from?" ”

Zhang Yi said: "Please forgive the king for the crime of bullying the king, and the minister will dare to speak." ”

King Qin said: "Gentlemen are all wise and resourceful ministers of the Qin State, how can a widow punish crimes?" But it doesn't hurt to say! ”

Zhang Yi said: "I really don't hide it from the king, the former ministers led the army with General Sima and Du Weimo to collect Bashu, and on the way back to the division, the king of Chu sent Liangzhou Jianghu heroes and others to come to feed bribes and other gold silks, so that the king did not want to take the Hanzhong land of Chu, and the minister saw that it was not the time for the king to take the Hanzhong land at that time, so he accepted the bribe of the Chu people. The king was not informed of this matter, and I hope that the king will forgive the sins of his ministers and others! ”

King Qin said: "Mr. and General Sima and others collected Bashu for the widow, the merit is great, and the widow consciously rewarded Mr. and so on, and accepted bribes from some Chu people, so why mind!" And let the Chu State break the cost, and it will not damage the Qin State, how can the widow be blamed. Don't mind, sir! ”

Zhang Yi then played: "King Xie forgives the sin." When the previous Bashu was collected, the king used troops in the Central Plains, and there was the threat of the Yiqu in the west, and the land of Hanzhong in the Chu State could not be taken. This time, the threat to the east and west of the Qin State has been lifted, and the king's army is in full swing, so he can plot against Hanzhong. ”

King Qin said: "The land of Chu is thousands of miles, with a million armor, and the strength is not inferior to the widow, there are 100,000 soldiers and horses stationed in the Han of Chu, and if the widow sends troops to take Hanzhong, I am afraid that 200,000 soldiers and horses will be needed." ”

Zhang Yi said: "In order to take the Chu State and Hanzhong, it is not necessary to raise 200,000 soldiers and horses. Although Chu is big, it is big and useless, and although the king of Chu is famous, he is just a false name. The king can first use strategy to take it, if the king of Chu is in the scheme, then the king can get the land of Hanzhong without spending a single soldier, wouldn't it be better? ”

King Qin said: "The king of Chu is also a famous monarch for a while, how can he easily fall for the plan of the widow?" ”

Zhang Yi said: "The minister heard it, the bird that flew high in the nine skies, died from food, the fish that hid in the abyss, died from the bait." Although the king of Chu has a false name, he is not exempt from it. Now the king lures him with delicious food, and the king of Chu will inevitably fall for the scheme. ”

The king of Qin asked again: "If the king of Chu is tricked and feels that he has been deceived, thinking that the outnumbered people are deceiving each other, he will be angry, and he will send troops to fight the outnumbered people, what will happen to him?" ”

Zhang Yi said: "This plan is exactly what makes the King of Chu like this. If the king of Chu sends troops to attack the king, there will be hundreds of thousands of warriors in the kingdom of the three Qin tigers, and he is worried that there is no place for him. According to the ministers' expectations, although the Chu army is numerous, it is not the opponent of the king's soldiers and horses, and if the king of Chu dares to fight with the king, he will be defeated. The king defeated the Chu army, one can show his might, and the other can take advantage of the situation to take the middle place of Chu and Han! ”

When King Qin heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and said, "Good! The widow is willing to listen to the good advice of the gentleman! ”

Zhang Yi set up a plan for the King of Qin, I don't know what the conspiracy is, and it will be decomposed next time.
