King Zhao, who walked into the Jixia School Palace as a victor, did not expect that there was a debate that was even more difficult than the war waiting for him. He didn't even expect that after being welcomed into this academic hall by the respectful and polite old masters, it would be three days later when he came out again.

These three days and three nights, in the later imperial history, had a famous title, called "Ji Gong Lundao".

This sitting and discussion of the Jixia Academy Palace is of incomparable significance for the cultural and ideological development of later generations. In the minds of countless historians and scholars later, they all agreed that this was a summary of the origin of Chinese culture, and it was also a inheritance and major development of the past and the future.

It's just that people at that time were far from realizing this. When King Zhao walked in, the heavy door closed, isolating all the complexities of the world from the outside. An ordinary wooden door separates two completely different worlds. There are some far-reaching origins that start from this moment.

In these three days, the victory of the Zhao army in two decisive battles has spread all over the world at the fastest speed, and the situation in the vassal states is turbulent, and many major events will inevitably occur.

The king of Yan is the capital of Jicheng. Yan Wang Dan, who had just sat on the throne and had not yet covered the heat, looked at his ministers with a pale face, and the monarchs and ministers were at a loss.

Who would have thought that the attack posture of the Zhao army would be so fierce. originally thought that as long as Zijing Pass strengthened its defense, it would be able to stop them. However, under the First World War, the 60,000-strong army was almost completely wiped out. General Ning Hu and the following generals are almost dead. There were less than a few thousand people left, who retreated a hundred miles and fled to the area of Guiyunling, west of Yanshan, before they could barely save their lives.

When the sparkling emergency report came back, King Yan could hardly believe his eyes. After he watched it three times in a row, he couldn't help but get angry, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he almost fainted.

The palace attendants were in a hurry and began to convey the royal decree and summon all the ministers to the palace for deliberations. And when these people were almost here, Yan Wang Dan barely calmed down the restlessness in his heart.

Most of the civil and military ministers of the Yan Wangting who came in a hurry already knew the news of the defeat ahead on the road. No one can remain calm. There is no doubt that compared with the defeat in the Qi State, the defeat on the battlefield of Bauhinia Pass is the most deadly.

However, even though they all knew that the next situation would be very dangerous, they still had no good solution after deliberating for a long time. There is simply no way to think of a way to reverse the unfavorable situation.

It's so tricky! If you know today, why bother in the first place! The relationship between Yan and Zhao was originally good, and they once shared the same hatred and hatred, and jointly resisted the invasion of Hu Qi. A few decades ago, there was an iron-blooded friendship between the soldiers of the two countries. The reason for today's situation may only be blamed on the dead King Yan who listened to the provocation of the Qin people, took advantage of the danger of others, and fought each other with swords. Now it's too late to regret it!

Of course, it doesn't help to say that now. The ministers of the Yan Kingdom all bowed their heads and had their own thoughts. Everyone knows very well that if the army of Zhao State continues to attack from Bauhinia Pass with this momentum, and the direction of Qi State also takes the opportunity to raise troops to take revenge, then Yan State will really face the disaster of destroying the country.

"Can't you think of a good way to repel the Zhao army?"

The young man who changed from Prince Dan to Yan Wang Dan lost a lot of weight in just a few days. There was endless anxiety in his eyes. Sometimes he even wondered if it was worth it for him to sit on this throne at such a great price.

The ministers below were silent. What else can I think of now? In less than a year, there were three major defeats in succession, with a total loss of nearly 100,000 horses. For the Yan Kingdom, which has a total of only about 200,000 troops, this is an unbearable burden. Yan Guoxiang, who was standing at the front, sighed secretly. At this critical juncture, if King Yan could not get the help of everyone, then the country would perish faster.

"My Majesty, now that we have been defeated, the morale of the army is weakened, and it has become very difficult to turn the tide of the war by relying on our own strength. For now, the only way to do this is to turn to foreign aid at all costs! ”

Yan Guoxiang's old voice revealed a bit of exhaustion and helplessness. Seeing this much-anticipated man stand up, everyone looked up and wanted to hear his opinion. If there is hope, who will want to accept the fate of failure? Once the Yan Kingdom perishes, they will all lose everything. So no matter how difficult it is, you have to do your best to make a last effort.

"Asking for foreign help? Prime Minister, who will help us now? ”

King Yan asked urgently. If there is anyone in front of him who will give him hope, it is only this minister of state who has a special relationship with him. This is his last expectation and his last reliance.

"If the king is willing to follow the advice of the old minister, the old minister will naturally say everything. Everything is for the sake of Yan Guosheji, even if there are those who violate the will of the previous king, please don't be weird with the king and you! ”

Yan Guoxiang frowned and glanced around. King Yan and the others nodded one after another, motioning for him to speak quickly. At this time, it seems that the eyebrows are about to burn, and there is no need for any taboos.

"The prime minister has no good plan, but it doesn't hurt to say it. Whether it works or not, I have a decision! ”

"Good! For now, in the face of the strong threat of the Zhao army, only the most powerful forces can resist it. In Lao Chen's view, those who can solve the danger of Yan Country can start from three aspects to ensure that nothing goes wrong. ”

"Tell me quickly!"

"Great King, the army of Zhao State has penetrated deep into the Yan State with the intention of annexation. Such a move seriously violated the original intention of the Great Zhou royal family to divide the princes of the world. King Zhao regarded the authority of the Son of Heaven as nothing, which was really bold, and people and gods were angry. The king could immediately send envoys to Los Angeles in the starry night to plead before Zhou Tianzi and implore the emperor to give an order to stop Zhao's aggression. ”

Before Yan Guoxiang finished speaking, many people's faces already showed disappointment. I thought he had some tricks, but it turned out to be just a cliché. Who doesn't know that the current Zhou Tianzi is just in name, it's just an ornament. It was a joke to want to rely on his orders to make Zhao Guoren retreat.

"Your Excellency, don't go to Los Angeles! I think...... There is no need for this at all. ”

"The king's words are wrong! The affairs of the world must pay attention to a name. Whether it's useful or not, this trip is still going to go...... Who can say for sure what will come? ”

Seeing his attitude so resolute. Yan Wang Dan was a little stunned, but he had always trusted this old minister and knew that he must have a deep meaning in doing so. After a little silence, he nodded, wrote his defense, and sent an envoy to set off immediately.

"Your Excellency, isn't there any other good way?"

The other ministers couldn't help but ask anxiously. Yan Guoxiang's eyes flashed, and his expression became a little fierce.

"This is just a superficial article! What can really pose a threat to Zhao is what we have to do next. O king, please order the treasury to be opened! As long as there is enough money to tempt, I believe that the Hu people will definitely send troops again! ”

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked. Yan Wang Dan stood up abruptly, and he asked in a tone of disbelieving.

"Prime Minister, what do you mean...... Are we going to use the power of the Hu people? ”

"Oh, that's right."

"This ...... This is absolutely not a no-go! If we let the Hu people in, wouldn't that lead the wolf into the house and bring disaster upon us? ”

Yan Wang Dan stared at the eyes of the prime minister, and from those tired eyes, he saw helplessness and ruthlessness. His heart began to pound. Yan Guoxiang lowered his eyes, he understood that this young man had agreed, he just wanted a reason to convince himself.

"The Hu people don't have any big ambitions, all they want is money and food. And what the people of Zhao want is to annex the land of Yan Kingdom! The so-called lesser of two evils, so driving the wolf and the tiger is really a last resort, but it is also the most effective way. ”

There was silence throughout the hall. Soon after, someone began to nod in agreement. But King Yan didn't say anything on the spot, he continued to ask.

"Is there anything else the prime minister has to say?"

"The enemy of our enemies is our friend! If there is anyone in this world who hates Zhao the most, it is, of course, Qin, Wei, and Southern Han...... Although the other princes can't count on it for the time being, the Qin State will definitely not give up. If you count the casualties in Qi this time, the Qin State can be said to have suffered serious losses. Even a generation of famous generals Mu Xueqing died in the hands of King Zhao, one can imagine how angry King Qin is now. The king should immediately send important ministers to Feng'an to agitate the king of Qin to take advantage. I believe that the Qin State will definitely take action. With such a three-pronged approach, Yan Guo can be safe! ”

King Yan was overjoyed. He thought about it carefully again, and felt that what Yan Guoxiang said was very reasonable. Without further ado, he immediately sent important ministers who were eloquent to act as envoys, and went their separate ways.

"Although the prime minister is very thoughtful, the hatred in my heart will not be eliminated after all...... If Chu Jiangmian dies now, it will be the root cause of the problem! ”

Yan Wang Dan hated a few cases. But I heard someone whispering coldly next to me.

"If you want King Zhao to die, it's not easy? If the king is interested, I am willing to help! ”

Yan Wang Dan suddenly turned his head and saw a pair of eyes as sharp as knives in the shadows. His heart seemed to be beaten by a heavy drum, and he couldn't help but have a hot blood, and grabbed the man's arm with one hand.

"Leave unmaturely! Are you really sure? ”

"Have you forgotten that I am originally from the East China Sea? Now that Chu Jiangmian is in the Qi Kingdom, it is a good time to kill him...... I'll go! ”
