Chapter 267: Cutting the Sacrifice Flag

The palace of the king of Chu.

Mi Fu returned to Chu State with linen and filial piety, knelt down in front of the old King of Chu, and said sadly: "The king's envoy died in Yan Kingdom, and he asked his father to be the master of his daughter!" ”

The old King of Chu looked at this beloved daughter like this, and then thought of the benefits that Zhao Jia brought to the Chu State during his lifetime, and he was also furious.

He stepped forward to help his daughter and shouted: "Please rest assured, although Jia'er is the son of Zhao State, the widow has long regarded it as his own, and now that Jia'er has died in Yan State, even if Chu State does its best, it will definitely avenge it!" ”

What Chu Guo said was absolutely sincere.

Over the years, he married Zhao State, because of Zhao Jia's son-in-law, which led to the State of Chu breaking the Qin army several times, not only recovering many lost territories, but also bringing the King of Chu's own prestige to the peak.

It can be said that without Zhao Jia's son-in-law, the current situation of Chu State would definitely not be good.

Chu Guo is also a person who knows how to repay his kindness, and he can see the clues from the other party's promotion of Chun Shenjun, not to mention that Zhao Jia is still the son-in-law of the king of Chu.

In public and private, the king of Chu had no reason to refuse his daughter.

Since the king of Chu was determined to seek justice for Zhao Jia, he immediately began to dispatch troops, as long as the king of Zhao sent a document, he could join forces with the Zhao army to avenge Zhao Jia.

The capital of the king of Qi.

The King of Qi was originally worried about the loss of the place of Dukang, but suddenly learned that Zhao Jia died in the territory of Yan Kingdom, and he felt sorry for him, but also overjoyed.

King Qi knew that the opportunity to completely defeat the Yan Kingdom had come.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the envoy of Zhao to go to Linzi, and after expressing his intention, King Qi immediately couldn't wait to accept it, expressing his willingness to avenge Gongzijia with the power of the whole country.

After Wei and Han learned that Chu and Qi were willing to help Zhao, due to the pressure of public opinion, they also expressed their willingness to advance and retreat with Zhao.

The Five-Nation Alliance was initially established, and as long as the true cause of Zhao Jia's death was clarified, the army would roar and kill.

Qin Palace.

"King Qiyu, Pingqi Jun Zhao Jia died in the territory of Yan State, Yan State claimed that it was done by the assassins of my Qin State, and now Zhao, Chu, Qi, Wei, and Han form a five-nation alliance, and Zhao is a nationwide conscription, and all men over the age of fourteen and under the age of fifty-five are forcibly conscripted."

"This coalition is huge, once the target is directed at our Qin State, I am afraid that the Yan State army will also join it, and the Qin State will be in danger at that time!"

After several great victories, Zhao's current national strength is not as good as that of Qin, which has suffered repeated defeats, but it is not much worse.

Now Zhao Juguo is indignant, and after King Zhao's conscription order was issued, all the men of Zhao joined the army enthusiastically and vowed to avenge Zhao Jia.

The Qin State, which had not yet recovered its vitality, even if it fought alone with the Zhao State at this time, even if it could win, it would inevitably suffer heavy casualties, not to mention dealing with the armies of the remaining countries.

The most important thing is that Zhao Jia is now powerful in Kyushu, if it is determined that it was assassinated by the Qin people, the Qin State will inevitably be scolded by the people of the world, and it will take the lead in occupying the lower hand of public opinion.

At that time, the Qin people did not necessarily have the heart to fight without fear of death, and they were bound to be defeated against the alliance of the six countries.

Although Qin Wangzheng was young, he quickly gained insight into the seriousness of the matter, and immediately asked Lü Buwei: "Xiangguo thinks that how should this matter be dealt with?" ”

Lü Buwei pondered for a long time and said, "Qin and Yan are thousands of miles apart, how can they send someone to assassinate Pingqi Jun in Yan Kingdom?" ”

"The minister heard that Zhang Yanguo, the monarch of Pingqi, handed over the land of Dukang to the State of Qi, but the king of Yan insisted on recapturing the land of Dukang, and even sent troops to rob it against the will of Pingqi Jun."

"The contradiction between the two has intensified, and the Yan State will inevitably want to get rid of Zhao Jia in order to supervise the land, so he will kill him, and then blame my Qin State."

"Since it was not done by my Qin State, the king should send an envoy to Handan to explain the reason for this matter."

"Although my Qin State is an enemy of Zhao State, I also admire Gongzi Jia Nai as a hero, Yan Country is despicable and shameless and kills the famous Pingqi Jun, and my Qin State can't see it, I am willing to send troops to help Zhao sweep Ping Yan Kingdom, in order to comfort Pingqi Jun's spirit in the sky!"

Since Lü Buwei sent a large number of assassins to assassinate Zhao Jia, he naturally thought of a way back for the Qin State.

Although Qin secretly promised Yan that he would bear all the responsibility after Zhao Jia's assassination, when Zhao Jia was killed, Qin naturally would not continue to abide by his previous promise.

In Lü Buwei's view, the strength of Zhao Guo lies in Zhao Jia, and the alliance also lies in Zhao Jia.

Zhao Jia is dead, even if the Qin State helps the Zhao State to destroy the Yan State, and there are countries to divide the territory of the Yan State, the Zhao State will not grow much.

On the contrary, the state of Zhao without Zhao Jia is like a tiger without minions, and the alliance between Zhao, Chu and Zhao and Qi is no longer stable.

The Qin State could sow discord in the process of cultivating and recuperating and continuing to implement the strategy of long-distance friendship and close attack.

As long as the alliance is destroyed, with the foundation of the Qin State, after a few years of cultivation and recuperation, it will definitely be able to launch a battle of Changping again, defeat the seemingly powerful Zhao State back to its original form, and even take the opportunity to destroy it.

If Zhao Jia knew that his importance in the eyes of Lu Buwei and others even exceeded that of the entire country, I don't know how he would feel.

Inside the city of Handan.

Cai Niao looked at Zhao Guo, who had already entered a state of combat readiness, and while marveling at the strength of Zhao Guo, he was also faintly worried in his heart.

Although Qin Guo once said that he was willing to take all the responsibilities after Zhao Jia's death, even Zhao Jia's death was planned by King Zhao himself.

It stands to reason that Yan Guo killed Zhao Jia, not only to please King Zhao, but also to fulfill the wish of Qin State, so it should be right to meet the source left and right.

This turmoil of Zhao Jia's death will not have much to do with Yan Guo.

But for some reason, as time passed, the feeling of uneasiness in Cai Niao's heart became stronger and stronger.

"The Praetorian Guards are doing business, and the idle people are waiting to make way!"

Just when Cai Niao was preoccupied, he suddenly saw a well-armored city guard in front of him coming with a murderous spirit, and soon surrounded Cai Niao and other Yan envoys.

Seeing this, Cai Niao's heart sank slightly, and he shouted: "I am the envoy of Yan Kingdom, what do you want?" ”

Zhao Yan held a sharp sword, looked at Cai Niao with red eyes, and shouted: "The king has an order, cut the envoy of the Yan country to sacrifice the flag, destroy the Yan with the power of the whole country, and avenge the son!" ”

After speaking, Zhao Yan didn't even give Cai Niao a chance to defend himself, and directly killed him with a sword.

"How so!"

Cai Niao was horrified when he saw this, and he couldn't understand why King Zhao went back on his word, not only did he not stand on the side of Yan when Yan and Qi were fighting, but he even wanted to destroy Yan with the strength of the whole country.

"The one who killed the Pingqi monarch is a Qin person, and I hope the general will see it!"

Cai Niao drew his sword and struggled to block Zhao Gan's sword, and shouted loudly at the top of his throat.

Zhao Yan said angrily: "The Qin State has proved that the killing of the prince is not what he did, and he is more willing to send troops to help my Zhao State destroy Yan, do you still want to quibble!" ”

After finishing speaking, Zhao Gen didn't reply to Cai Niao at all, and directly ordered the city guards to rush up, and soon killed Zhao Gen and other Yan envoys.

"Return to the barracks with me, use this fang's head to sacrifice chess, and send troops with General Lian Po to destroy Yan!"

Zhao Yan cut off Cai Niao's head, held it high, and shouted loudly.

"Send troops, kill Yan!"

The city guards also raised their weapons and shouted loudly, even the Zhao people who were watching nearby.

Under the word of mouth of the people, the sound of 'extinguishing the swallow' soon resounded throughout Handan.
