In the third year of Yan Xiaocheng's reign (255 B.C.), the sixth day of the fifth month.

King Kang of Qi dedicated Qi to Linzi in Yan State, and Qi State was destroyed.

This incident can be said to be the most eye-catching event today.

Envoys of various countries in Handan City, and even secret spies.

Through various channels, they sent this information back to their respective countries with the fastest Su Dai and reported it to their own kings.

The demise of the Qi State can be said to have truly shocked the world.

This is not the demise of a small country, but the demise of a country that is known as the seven powerhouses of the Central Plains.

As soon as Yan King Ji Kang ascended the throne as king, he made a stunning move, which made the world look at Ji Kang and even Yan Guo with admiration.

The demise of the Qi State, in the eyes of people of insight in the world, is that the form of the unification of the world is no longer changeable. The country that is most likely to unify the world currently seems to be either Yan or Qin.

But who will be the final decision? Now no one dares to prophesy too much.

May 9, Zhao capital Handan, royal palace.

Since the Yan State began to attack Qi, whether it is Zhao Wangdan, or Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, or even the whole of Zhao State, they have been very concerned about the war between Yan and Qi.

After the Yan army entered Linzi City, the news was quickly transmitted back to Handan after three or four days.

After Zhao Wangdan got the message back, he immediately summoned Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains.

After Zhao Sheng came to the palace to meet Zhao Wang Dan, King Zhao brought the silk silk with the destruction of the Qi Kingdom to the Pingyuan Jun.

"Uncle Wang, take a look at this news!"

After reading this message, Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, couldn't help but be silent.

After a while, Zhao Sheng said to Zhao Wangdan:

"Your Majesty, the Yan Kingdom destroyed the Qi Kingdom, and its strength can be said to have reached a new level. Fortunately, Yan Wang Kang is the king's nephew, and the two countries are good countries. Otherwise, our Zhao State will face the northern and southern attacks of Qin and Yan. ”

After listening to Zhao Sheng's words, Zhao Wangdan sighed and said:

"Yes! Yan Guoqi didn't expect this time to end so quickly. At that time, the widow was still thinking that if the Yan Kingdom wanted to annex the Qi State, it would take several years at least like the last time Le Yi attacked Qi. ”

"Uncle Wang, this time the Yan State invaded Qi, and Jimo City, the eastern capital of the Qi State, was actually led by Le Jian to the Yan army in one fell swoop, and did not stop the Yan army for a few days. From this point of view, the strength of this Yan army is indeed terrifying! ”

Zhao Sheng nodded and said to Zhao Wangdan:

"Your Majesty, judging from the intelligence of the Yan army's breakthrough of Jimo City, it is written that the thunderbolt fell from the sky, and the city wall collapsed immediately. The minister thought of the last time when the Yan army came to the aid of my Zhao State, in the battle between the Shangdang and the Qin army, it was also the same situation. ”

"Could it be that in this Yan army, it is really like the people say, what kind of witchcraft do someone know? Will it lead to thunder? The minister did not believe these rumors. But I can't guess how Yan Jun did it? ”

Zhao Wangdan wandered back and forth in the hall twice, and said to Zhao Sheng:

"Uncle Wang, whatever? Now that the State of Qi has fallen into the hands of the Yan State, calculating the time, from the time the Yan army sent troops to attack Qi to the destruction of the State of Qi, it was only more than 50 days. ”

"Judging from the news sent back, the Yan army has not lost much of its own troops this time. My nephew, Yan Wang Kang, is even more powerful than we imagined! It's amazing. ”

Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, thought about it again, and said to Zhao Wang Dan:

"Your Majesty, since the Yan State has occupied the Qi State, I, the Zhao State, can quickly sign an alliance with the Yan envoy Mr. Su Dai, and send troops to collect what Mr. Su Dai said before, and give me the city of the Zhao State as the best policy!"

Then he smiled and said to Zhao Wangdan: "Mr. Su Dai has been sent to my Zhao Kingdom for many days under the edict of King Yan. Before, my Zhao Guo had a lot of cold treatment, this time I should be courteous and reconciled. ”

Zhao Wangdan also laughed and said to Zhao Sheng:

"Uncle Wang, I'll leave this matter to you! signed the alliance with the Yan State, and then let the old general Lian Po, according to the alliance with the Yan State, lead the army to take over the land of the Qi State west of the river! ”

Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, bowed and said, "The minister obeys the edict." ”

Handan City, Zhao State, the largest restaurant in the Moon Tower.

Yan Guoge Xiang Su Dai sat on a table near the window on the second floor, looking down through the window lattice on the right.

I saw that on the street below the restaurant, people came and went.

After experiencing the Battle of Handan, it seems that the vitality of Handan City has recovered.

Su Dai and Jiangqu, since they came to Handan City, Zhao Wangdan personally met with them.

However, for Yan Guo's proposal to divide more than 20 cities in the west of the Great River, and give Zhao State in exchange for an alliance with Yan State and jointly carve up Qi State, the two did not immediately agree to the two.

Zhao Wangdan only said that he would give Yan Guo a reply after discussing with everyone in the court. After that, there was no more information.

After discussing with Su Dai, Jiangqu and his people immediately went to Wei and Chu to lobby.

Su Dai stayed in Handan, the capital of Zhao, and continued to wait for a reply from the Zhao court.

Su Dai, as a Yan envoy, was well entertained by the Zhao court in Handan.

Eating and drinking every day, appreciating singing and dancing, it seems that he is having a good time.

But Su Dai's heart was very anxious. In the case of not getting the exact answer of Zhao Guo and forming an alliance with Yan State, it is the best wine and food, and there is no taste in your mouth!

According to the news found by Su Dai, Lian Po, a veteran of Zhao State, had gathered an army of 100,000 and gathered in Handan. What is Zhao Guo going to do next? This made Sudai very worried.

went to Zhao Wang's Palace to meet Zhao Wangdan, and when it came to this matter, Zhao Wangdan was perfunctory.

Su Dai went to the mansion of Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, several times, and was also told that Zhao Sheng was out on business and was not in the mansion.

The temporary alliance with Zhao is the established national policy of Yan State, which is very important to Yan State.

But there is a glimmer of hope, and Su Dai cannot give up.

Because before Su Dai and Jiang Qu sent envoys, Ji Kang personally said to the two that for the Yan State now, when it is against Qi, it is best not to have another war with any country in the Central Plains, especially the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei, and Chu.

Ji Kang also said to the two that for a long time in the future, the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei, and Chu will be the barriers used by Yan to defend against Qin, especially after Yan annexed Qi.

However, after so many days, the mission of his mission has not been completed. Su Dai was very anxious in his heart, and he couldn't describe it in words, anyway, he was very angry.

Now in Handan City, it is also summer, and the weather is hot.

Under the attack of internal and external fire, within a few days, Su Dai's mouth was foaming.

The more Su Dai thought about it, the more angry he became, and said, "How can this be reasonable? ”

He threw the wine bottle in his hand on the table, turned around and went downstairs, and went back to the protocol officer.

The old man Su Dai is very vindictive, according to Ji Kang's words, it is Zhao Wang Dan and Pingyuan Jun of Zhao State, and they have already been on the "small book" of Mr. Su Dai in private at this time.

Not long after returning to the protocol officer, he heard the entourage come to report:

"Qi Yu Su Xiang, Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng is visiting."

"Hmm." Su Dai was a little puzzled, and said in his heart I visited him several times some time ago, but I didn't see him.

Why did you suddenly visit me this time? Could it be that something has changed?

But this question can only be put on the mind for the time being.

Su Dai said to his entourage: "Please sit in the front hall of Pingyuanjun, I will come immediately." ”

"No."

No matter how bad the mood is, the royal mandate of his envoy will still be achieved.

When I came to the front hall, I saw that Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, was already waiting.

When Zhao Sheng saw Mr. Su Dai coming out, he hurriedly stood up and bowed down and said, "Su Xiang, some time ago, he was busy with state affairs, and he had something to do when he went out, so he neglected Su Xiang." Today, Zhao Sheng returned to Handan, and after hearing about this, he specially came to ask Su Xiang for guilt. ”

Seeing such an attitude of Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng, Su Dai was stunned.

I immediately thought that it must be the matter of Yan Guo's war, and there is already a final result.

He returned the salute to Zhao Sheng: "Pingyuanjun, there is no need to be polite. Have a seat. ”

After the two sat down, Zhao Sheng said to Su Dai bluntly: "Su Xiang, after I come back, I have been edicted by my king, and I am willing to form an alliance with Yan and the two countries." Our two countries used to be relatives of the country, and this time, it has reached a higher level! ”

This is the main task of Su Dai to come to Zhao State, of course, it is impossible not to agree.

The two sat down and carefully finalized the covenant to be signed between the two countries.

The Covenant between Yan and Qi stipulates:

Since then, the two countries have been allies, and the two countries share weal and woe.

Yan gave more than 20 cities, including Acheng (now Dong'e County, Shandong), Liaocheng (now Dongchangfu District, Liaocheng City, Shandong), and Xinyi (now Shen County, Shandong) to the west of the Great River (Yellow River) of Qi State.

The state of Zhao acknowledged the occupation of the state of Yan against the state of Qi. The border between the two countries in Qi was as follows: it was bounded by the Great River in the east, and the hills between Liaocheng and Gaotang (present-day Gaotang County, Shandong) in the north.

At the same time that the Su Dynasty signed an alliance with Zhao Sheng, the king of Chu, Xiong Wan, sent Chun Shenjun Huang Xie and Wei Wang Yudu to each send ministers to meet with Jiang Qu and others, the envoys sent by Yan to the two countries, to prepare to sign a formal covenant between the two sides.
