Chapter 887: Qi State Retreats

Lou Xuan was overjoyed when he heard that King Yan was willing to give in, and hurriedly responded: "King Mingjian, although we have repeatedly persuaded the country, the king of Qi is extremely dissatisfied with the fact that Yan sent troops to attack the ally of Qi, Zhongshan State, so the king of Qi said that as long as Yan State is willing to cede 300 miles of land to Qi State, then Qi State can immediately withdraw from Yan State. ”

"Three hundred miles!" When King Yan heard this, he immediately gritted his teeth fiercely.

Previously, Yan State had ceded more than 200 li of land to Zhao State, and now it has ceded 300 li of land to Qi State, and all of them are relatively warm territories in the south.

In the future, Yan Guo can only tremble in the face of Qi and Zhao, and live on people's breath.

However, if you don't agree, if Liaoxi is also conquered by the Donghu people, and the Hu people get the pastures of Liaoxi, then once the Donghu people recover their vitality, they will inevitably drive straight in.

The Hu people come and go like the wind, and the threat is too great.

Thinking of this, King Yan gritted his teeth again, and then, a fishy smell came out of his mouth, and then, King Yan immediately swallowed the blood in his mouth, then closed his mouth tightly, and nodded silently.

Lou Xuan was overjoyed when he saw that King Yan agreed, and then remembered King Zhao's entrustment, and said again: "King, before your country asked our country to come to the rescue, the widow accepted your country's gift in order to have an excuse to intervene in the war of Qi Yan.

Although now the Qi State promised to withdraw the army, but the widow was ashamed that he did not send troops to rescue Qu Rebellion, so the widow decided to cut a hundred li of land from the east of Zhao State to Qi State, as part of the compensation of Yan State to Qi State for 300 li, and hoped that the king would not refuse. ”

When King Yan heard this, he glanced at Lou Zhuan, and under his calm face, he desperately suppressed the anger gushing up in his heart, so as not to be unable to hold back and evil Zhao Guo.

Mortified!

King Zhao should naturally be ashamed!

However, it is not to be ashamed that he did not go to the rescue of Qu Wei, but to be ashamed of betraying Yan Guo. Since his accession to the throne, Yan has responded to Zhao's requests, and as long as King Zhao's request did not harm the fundamental interests of Yan, he basically agreed to King Zhao's request.

However, he didn't expect that Yan Guo's efforts would be exchanged for betrayal.

Therefore, King Zhao is going to be ashamed.

However, if King Zhao was really ashamed, he should return the 100 li of land in the north ceded by Yan, instead of ceding his own territory to the Qi State.

King Yan secretly cursed in his heart, this hundred miles of land, I'm afraid it is not for Yan to cut it, but for the price of letting Qi State betray Zhongshan Kingdom!

Not only this hundred miles of land, but also the two hundred miles of my Yan country, and the 120,000 army of Yan country, all of them are the price of Qi country's betrayal of Zhongshan country.

In this way, the Qi State only paid an ally that was difficult to rescue, and obtained a real three hundred miles of land, and also severely weakened the Yan State and relieved his worries.

And Zhao will not only obtain the entire Zhongshan Kingdom, but also obtain the land of Yan State, and in the next ten years or so, it will be decades, Yan State must be dependent on Zhao State, consistent with Zhao State, and let Zhao State take what it wants.

This time, Qi and Zhao both gained great benefits, and they were all happy. However, it hurt the Yan Kingdom and the sad Zhongshan Kingdom.

Thinking about it, King Yan suddenly felt two chills flow into his heart from his head, and then he shivered all over his body.

Then, King Yan shook his head, King Zhao was a bitch, and he also wanted to set up a chastity archway, how could there be such a good thing.

Thinking of this, King Yan was immediately moved and said: "Sir, the widow asked King Zhao to rescue, and now that the Qi State is willing to withdraw its troops, how can the widow let the Zhao State cut the land from Qi?" It's only 300 miles of land, but our country still gives it to the land. ”

When Lou Chu heard King Yan's refusal, his face immediately turned correct, and he said in an unquestionable tone: "The king, the widow has always been benevolent and righteous, and pays attention to fairness and justice.

Therefore, the conditions of the king of Qi this time, two hundred miles out of the Yan country and one hundred miles out of the land of the kingdom of Yi, this is the request of the widow, I hope that the king will not embarrass the ministers, and do not embarrass the widow. ”

As soon as King Yan heard Lou Yan's words, his face suddenly sank.

Has this Zhao State already eaten Yan Kingdom, even Lou Xuan, a mere courtier, dared to speak to him Yan King in this tone.

Hateful, annoying.

Thinking about it, King Yan gritted his teeth, and then a sentence popped out of the corner of his mouth: "Okay, then the widow will thank King Zhao for his kindness!" ”

"The king is wise, widowed..."

Before Lou Yan finished speaking, there was a sudden commotion outside the hall, and then the noise quickly came from a distance to a close place.

"Newspaper..."

Lou Xuan frowned when he heard this, and then looked back.

But he saw a messenger hurrying into the temple.

"Newspaper... The king, General Zhang Kui, who guarded the city of Qu, reported urgently, the Qi State has withdrawn, the Qi State has withdrawn..."

"What?"

Listening to the messenger's shout, King Yan and the others in the hall were all shocked.

Qi State retreated?

King Yan glanced at Lou Yan hesitantly, Yan Guo hadn't agreed to Qi Guo's conditions, and Qi Guo hadn't gotten benefits yet, so why did he withdraw his troops?

Thinking about it, King Yan looked at the envoy suspiciously: "Qi State retreats?" Is this true? ”

"King, this matter is true, the Qi army was still besieging Qu Rebellion, but for some reason, the night passed, and the next day suddenly saw the Qi army attacking the city.

Later, General Zhang Kui was worried that the Qi people had a conspiracy, so he sent people out of the city to investigate, but as a result, the Qi people didn't even have time to pack up the materials in the camp, so they retreated overnight. ”

"What?"

The surprise in King Yan's heart had not yet subsided, and at this time, a messenger ran quickly to the palace.

"Great king, great joy, the spies have come to report that Yishui's Qi army has retreated, and the Tianjia Department stationed in Yidi has also returned south overnight."

King Yan was stunned, and suddenly looked at Lou Yan hesitantly.

Could it be that the King of Qi has such trust in the Zhao State, before the Yan State has cut the land, and before he even agrees to come down, the Qi army retreated.

Could it be that there is fraud in it?

However, when King Yan saw Lou Xuan, his face was also full of suspicion, and before he could react to the half-sound, he immediately knew that there must be something wrong.

The Qi army withdrew overnight, could it be that there was a problem within the Qi country?

Was it the death of the king of Qi, or was there a mutiny in the state of Qi?

Just thinking about it, another messenger hurriedly entered the palace: "Great King, Qu Yong, the envoy who went to Chu to ask for help, sent back the news, the king of Chu learned that Yan was in danger, and despite the fact that the Chu army had not yet been assembled, he had already sent a assembled sailor to cross the sea to the north to attack the heart of Qi to force the Qi army to return to help. ”

Before the envoy's voice fell, Lou Zhuan's face on the side suddenly turned red and white.

Zhao sent troops for a long time, but never made a move against Qi State, and wanted Yan State to pay a price of 300 miles to sue for peace with Qi State, so that Qi State would withdraw its troops.

As a result, just when the Yan State was relenting and suing for peace, as soon as the Chu State sent troops, the Qi State hurriedly withdrew its troops, and it was too late to even take away the supplies of the army.

This...

Doesn't this just show that Zhao Guo is incompetent?

Niu Jian stayed in Xiyang for so long, Qi State did not react at all, as soon as the Chu army moved now, Qi State retreated, didn't this make the world laugh at Zhao Jun?

Also, more importantly, he didn't complete his mission this time, what excuse did King Zhao use to give away the land promised King Qi?

Thinking about it, Lou slowly saw that King Yan was looking at him, and there was a joy in his expression that could not be concealed, and he didn't know whether he was happy or laughing?

Seeing this, Lou Chu immediately arched his hand in shame and said: "The king is protected by heaven, and now that the Qi State has withdrawn from the army, the minister's previous words, even if the minister did not mention it." ”

Then, Lou said slowly: "King, now that the Yan Kingdom is fine, please return to the Zhao Kingdom immediately to resume your life." ”

As soon as King Yan heard that Lou was about to leave, he was happy in his heart, and hurriedly persuaded: "Mr. has just arrived in Jidu, and he has only stayed for a while, and he hasn't even eaten a meal, so he will leave, doesn't it seem that he is sloppy and stingy?"

Sir, why don't you hold off for half a day and leave after dinner. ”

“···” When Lou Xuan heard these seemingly well-intentioned but humiliating words, he immediately smiled awkwardly, and he didn't even have a face to be stunned, where did he still have the face to eat.
