After listening to Zhao Yan's conditions, the envoy of the Yan Kingdom showed hesitation on his face.

The Ten Cities of Hejian have been occupied by the Zhao State, and now that the Zhao State is powerful, even if the Yan State is very reluctant, it is also mentally prepared to cede the Ten Cities of the Hejian to the Zhao State.

What's more, even if Yan Guo didn't agree, without Qin State's backing, Yan Guo would definitely not be able to recapture the city with his own ability.

Therefore, the envoys of the Yan State had already expected the first condition put forward by Zhao Yan, and they were able to agree to it.

As for the second condition, the envoys of the Yan State were a little difficult to decide.

The land of Hejian and Du Kang are almost the two richest lands in Yan Kingdom, if these two pieces of land are lost, Yan Kingdom will really never turn over.

Even if the land of Du Kang has basically been occupied by the Qi State, the Yan State will try to take it back instead of ceding it to the Qi State.

The Yan State is afraid of the Zhao State, but it does not mean that the Qi State is afraid.

Today's Qi State has long lost its former hegemonic temperament, if Zhao Jia did not vigorously push Zhou Zi to the throne, Qi State may be in a corner until the country dies.

Yan firmly believes that as long as Yan is given time to recover, sooner or later he will be able to defeat Qi and regain the land of Dukang.

However, there must be a premise for retaking the land of Du Kang, that is, it cannot be recognized that the land of Du Kang is owned by the Qi State from now on, otherwise with the powerful Zhao State as a witness, it will not be so easy for the Yan State to start a war for the land in the future.

As for letting Yan send 100,000 troops to join the Hezong army to attack Qin, it is not a big deal.

Although the Yan State has been defeated repeatedly, the elite troops in the country are not enough to gather 100,000 at all, but at the end of the Warring States Period, when almost all the people were soldiers, it was not difficult to gather 100,000 people.

"Before the foreign minister left the Yan Kingdom, the king had already confessed that he was willing to dedicate the ten cities between the rivers to the Zhao State and asked for peace."

"As for sending 100,000 troops to attack Qin, it is also within the scope of my Yan country, but Yan State has been fighting for many years, and the treasury is already empty, I am afraid it will be difficult to supply the needs of the expedition of 100,000 troops."

The envoy of the Yan Kingdom looked up at Zhao Yan and said cautiously.

"It doesn't matter, the Yan State only needs to send troops, and the coalition army will supply grain and grass, but in this case, the 100,000 troops of the Yan State can only be handed over to the commander of the Zhao State."

The envoy of the Yan State hesitated for a long time, and secretly thought: "Send 100,000 old, weak, sick and disabled, even if it is handed over to the commander of the Zhao State, it will not be a big problem." ”

Thinking of this, the envoys of the Yan State hurriedly said with a smile on their faces: "The Zhao State has many famous generals, who are good at commanding troops and are extremely brave, and the soldiers of the Yan State can be handed over to the commander of the Zhao State, so we naturally can't ask for it." ”

"It's just that the land of Du Kang is an important land of my Yan country, and if it is ceded to the Qi country, I am afraid that my king will not agree."

The envoy of the Yan Kingdom raised his head and carefully observed Zhao Yan's face.

When Zhao Yan heard this, his face sank, and he shouted: "When my Zhao State is in danger, the Qi State is still willing to send troops to help, how can the widow let the Qi State mobilize the people but gain nothing?" ”

"Yan State Alliance Qin, must pay the corresponding price, since the land of the governor has been occupied by the Qi State, it should be ceded to the Qi State, otherwise, the widow will immediately recruit 100,000 troops out of the river, and destroy the Yan State with Qi first, in order to eliminate the trouble!"

When the envoy of Yan State heard this, he was immediately shocked and said: "The king is angry, and the foreign minister will return to Yan and report this matter to the king." ”

At this time, the state of Qi had not yet been mobilized nationwide.

If Zhao really sent 100,000 troops to unite with Qi to destroy Yan, Qi would inevitably recruit troops from the country again, and how could Yan, which had been weak for a long time, be able to block the armies of the two countries?

The envoys of the Yan State left in a hurry, but they had just walked to the gate of Handan City, and suddenly saw the eunuchs beside Zhao Yan.

The frame of the envoys of the Yan State continued to return to the Yan Kingdom, but the speed slowed down a lot, but the envoys of the Yan Kingdom secretly returned to the palace of King Zhao and secretly met with the King of Zhao.

"I don't know why the king secretly summoned his ministers here?"

Zhao Yan changed the aggressive momentum in the main hall, and said gently: "In the main hall before, there were some words that were inconvenient for people to say clearly, so I summoned your envoy to come here secretly to talk about it. ”

Zhao Yan himself knelt down first, and then invited the envoys of Yan State to sit opposite him.

"Since the defeat of Changping, Zhao and Qin have formed a mortal enmity, and the Zhao people hate the Qin people even more, and the whole Zhao country hopes to fight to the death with Qin, and the shame of Xue Changping, but the national strength is not as good as the Qin State, so I have to endure it."

"For the rest of the countries, Zhao has no ambitions, at least until he defeats Qin, Zhao is not willing to rashly make enemies with the rest of the countries."

"If it weren't for King Yan attacking Zhao with the strength of the whole country, Zhao and Yan would not have been in constant conflict."

When the envoys of the Yan Kingdom heard this, they couldn't help but bow their heads and smile bitterly.

Yan Guo wanted to take advantage of the defeat and weakness of Zhao Changping to destroy Zhao with the strength of the whole country, but he did not expect to be defeated by Lian Po in the end, and even Yan Xiang died in the chaos.

Since then, Yan Kingdom has become the laughing stock of the world, and it has become a real small country.

Almost all the people of Yan State were ashamed and indignant when they thought of that war, but they did not resent Zhao State too much, after all, it was the war that Yan State took the initiative to provoke.

"My king also regrets the past."

Zhao Yan smiled slightly and said, "The widow said so much, just to tell you that if Yan Guo does not provoke Zhao Guo, Zhao also does not want to be distracted and confront Yan Guo." ”

"This time, in order to help my Zhao State, the Qi State sent troops to attack Yan, and the widow is not good for the Qi people to chill, so he asked the King of Yan to cede the land of Du Kang."

"However, the Zhao State does not want another powerful Qi State to appear in the rear when it is competing with the Qin State."

"Thou, do you understand the meaning of the widow?"

When the envoy of the Yan Kingdom heard this, he immediately felt ecstasy in his heart, and said with a look of anticipation: "What does the king mean? ”

Zhao Yan sighed: "The widow forced the Yan State to cede the land of the governor to the Qi State, in order to repay the kindness of the Qi State, and if the Yan State wants to regain that land after that, the widow will naturally not intervene!" ”

"If the Yan Kingdom is defeated, the widows can even secretly help each other to balance the two countries of Qi and Yan."

The envoy of the Yan Kingdom couldn't hold back the joy on his face anymore, and hurriedly said: "Thank you, the king, the foreign minister knows how to report to my king!" ”

Zhao Yan looked at the envoys of the Yan Kingdom who were full of joy, but his face suddenly sank, and he lowered his voice and shouted: "Today's matter, out of the mouth of the widow, into your ears, you can tell the meaning of the widow to King Yan, but you can't let the rest of the people know, let alone reach the ears of the Qi people." ”

"Otherwise, you know the consequences!"

When the envoy of the Yan State heard this, he hurriedly nodded and said: "Even if this matter is spread by the foreign minister, others will think that the foreign minister is dividing the two countries of Zhao and Qi, who will believe it?" ”

"If the foreign minister does this, not only will he not get benefits, but he will offend the king because of this, how dare he talk more?"

Zhao Yan turned his anger into joy at this time, and then laughed and said: "This is very good, you will quietly return to Yan Kingdom, as long as King Yan agrees to the three conditions of the widow, the widow will persuade the Qi State to withdraw the army!" ”
