Chapter Eighty-Seven: Coercion

Yan King's Palace.

"Can Zhao and Qi agree to peace talks?"

King Yan looked at the Prime Minister of the State and asked out loud, with a look of anticipation on his face.

The previous Lian Po broke the Yan State and led the troops to besiege the capital of the Yan State, and the King of Yan sent people to ask for help, but the Zhao State said that he only discussed peace talks with the Yan State Doctor Jiangqu.

When King Yan got the news, he hurriedly canonized Jiangqu as the prime minister, and then reached peace talks with Zhao and ordered Zhao to withdraw his troops.

Calif

Zhao Guo did this, just because Yan Guo attacked Zhao at the beginning, and Jiang Qu tried his best to dissuade him, but he was disliked by King Yan.

Le Jian and Le Cheng, who had opposed Yan Guo's attack on Zhao before, had already defected to Zhao State at this time, and Zhao State naturally spared no effort to support the general Qu who was friendly to Zhao State to hold a high position in Yan State.

Jiang Qu showed a look of embarrassment on his face, and said: "General Lian Po agreed to the peace talks, but he only asked the king to lead the civil and military forces of the Yan State out of the city and personally go to the military camps of Zhao and Qi before he was willing to discuss specific peace talks. ”

When King Yan and the civil and military forces of the court heard this, they all changed color.

King Yan is the lord of Yan Kingdom, and if he leads Yan Guo's civil and military forces to the enemy's military camp, he will inevitably lose face.

The most important thing is that if Zhao Guo goes back on his word and detains the King of Yan and the civil and military forces of Yan State, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Mo said that King Yan would not agree, even the civil and military forces of Yan Kingdom would definitely not promise.

"This is not possible!"

Sure enough, as soon as Jiangqu's words fell, someone shouted loudly, looking extremely excited.

Jiang Qu smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said: "If this is not the case, the combined forces of Zhao and Qi will forcibly attack the city, and please think twice about the king." ”

As the minister of the Yan State, Jiang Qu naturally did not want to see the King of Yan lead the Chinese military forces of the dynasty to the enemy army camp in person.

It's a pity that now the Yan country is in danger, and if it is not allowed to be suggested by Lian Po, it is likely that the country will be destroyed.

King Yan's face turned a little pale, and his voice trembled and said: "The widow is determined to form an alliance with Zhao Guoyong, but it is a sincere peace talk, can the prime minister play General Lian Po and discuss the matter of peace talks in another place." ”

"It's not impossible."

King Yan said this, with a begging meaning, but in fact, he was not too sure whether Jiangqu could persuade Lian Po to change his mind.

But he didn't want to, as soon as King Yan's words fell, someone came from behind Jiang Qu and replied loudly.

King Yan hurriedly looked up and found that the person who came was about twenty years old, with a handsome face, eyes like stars, and a heroic and extraordinary person.

After looking at it carefully, King Yan exclaimed, "You are Zhao Jia! ”

"Jia has seen King Yan."

After being recognized, Zhao Jia did not have the slightest nervousness on his face, but calmly saluted King Yan.

After the rest of Yan Guo's civil and military affairs learned about Zhao Jia's identity, their faces also changed greatly, and many generals even held the hilt of their swords and wanted to take down Zhao Jia.

Zhao Jia's eyes swept over the Yan generals who were about to move, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Generals, long time no see!"

When the generals of the Yan Kingdom heard this, most of the people's faces turned red.

Only because of the battle of the Yan Dynasty that year, Zhao broke the Yan army and captured countless Yan generals, many of whom were ranked in the court.

Although they were finally released back to Yanguo, they felt extremely ashamed and indignant every time they thought of being captured in the first place.

Now that Zhao Jia has revealed his scars, how can the faces of the generals of Yan Kingdom be good-looking.

They had a heart attack, but unfortunately they thought of the 300,000 Zhao and Qi coalition troops stationed outside the city, and they all had to suppress the anger in their hearts and stared at Zhao Jia with fierce eyes.

After King Yan was shocked, his face immediately showed joy.

He stepped forward to hold Zhao Jia's hands and said, "A few years ago, the widow listened to the slanderous rumors, so he raised troops to attack Zhao, and he regretted it. Now that time has passed, the widow is determined to form an alliance with Zhao Guoyong, and hopes that the prince will understand the widow's heart. ”

It has to be said that a weak country has no diplomacy.

It was only at this time that Zhao Jia seemed to understand a little bit why the Qin State was so strong in history and overwhelmed the countries.

In the final analysis, it is still the strength of the country.

Now that the Zhao State is far stronger than the Yan Kingdom, even if the King of Yan is the lord of the Yan Kingdom, he still respects Zhao Jia, the eldest grandson of the King of Zhao.

Zhao Jia's current status also comes from Zhao Guo.

"I wonder if what the king said about the eternal alliance is true?"

Zhao Jia took a step forward, staring at King Yan with his eyes, looking a little sharp.

"It's true, it's absolutely true!"

When Zhao Jia heard this, the smile on the corner of his mouth became thicker and thicker.

"Since it is a permanent alliance, should Zhao and Yan advance and retreat together in the future?"

King Zhao nodded again, and said in a somewhat eager voice: "Self-deserved." ”

"That's good."

"Now that the Qin State is attacking Wei, Gongzi Wuji has sent envoys to ask for help from various countries, presumably the envoys of Daliang have arrived in Yandu."

"Zhao, Chu, Han, and Qi have all agreed to send troops to help Wei, since the king is determined to form an alliance with Zhao Yong, should he send troops to attack Qin?"

Zhao Jia's voice fell, and there was an immediate uproar in the Yan King's court.

Now that Ji is besieged by the allied forces of Zhao and Qi, the news has become very closed, and King Yan only knows that Qin attacked Wei in order to rescue Yan State, but he didn't expect things to evolve to such an extent.

The five countries joined forces to attack Qin, and they also had to coerce the Yan State together, so it became an unprecedented alliance of the six countries to attack Qin.

With such a big move, no matter how powerful the Qin State is, it is extremely difficult to block the Hezong army.

Therefore, even if King Yan knew that the Qin State was in danger in order to save Yan, he had to consider whether to join the army at this time.

"Since Yan Guo is willing to form an alliance with Zhao Guoyong, he should participate in the joint army. It's just that now Zhao and Qi occupy a lot of cities in our country, now that Yan has joined the allies, can your country return the cities it occupies? ”

Just when King Yan was still hesitant and didn't reply, Jiang Qu pulled down King Yan's sleeve and stepped forward to say.

King Yan understood and hurriedly responded: "As long as Zhao returns the occupied city, I, Yan State, am willing to join the allied army with the whole country's army!" ”

Zhao Jia's smile gradually retracted, and said: "This cooperation is not just to save Wei, the most important purpose is to defeat the Qin State. ”

"Therefore, the army must work together."

"As long as the King of Yan should make two conditions, the combined forces of Zhao and Qi will naturally completely withdraw from the Yan State and will never occupy any city."

King Yan's expression became excited, and he hurriedly said, "Childe, please speak." ”

"First, the Yan State sent 100,000 elite troops to join the Hezong army, and the army was handed over to Gongzi Wuji for unified command."

When King Yan and Yan Guo's civil and military forces heard this, their faces all changed slightly.

Sending troops to join a large army and leaving an army under the command of someone else are two completely different concepts.

If it joins freely, Yan can choose not to fight or delay; If the army was placed under Wei Wuji's command, Wei Wuji would have the final say on whether to fight or retreat, and the lives of the 100,000 army would also be in Wei Wuji's hands.

"Well, I'm afraid there's something wrong with this......"

Zhao Jia seemed to see through the worries in King Yan's heart, and said: "This time, the armies of all countries are under the unified command of Gongzi Wuji, and the generals of various countries act as staff to help Gongzi Wuji mobilize the army, and Yan Guo can also send generals to participate in it." ”

"Therefore, the king does not need to worry, Gongzi Wuji will deliberately send the Yan army to death."

After being silent for a long time, King Yan finally nodded and said, "If this is the case, the widow is willing to promise this first condition." ”

Zhao Jia smiled and said again: "Second, Yan Guo assigned Gecheng, Wuyang, and Pingshu to Zhao Guo. ”

When King Yan heard this, his face changed greatly.
