"Didn't Childe say that as long as Yan Guo joins the Hezong army, he will withdraw his army and not occupy any city in Yan State?"

"In that case, why do you want our country to cede the three cities of Gecheng, Wuyang, and Pingshu?"

Yan Guo changed color from top to bottom, and Jiang Qu stepped forward and questioned Zhao Jia loudly.

Although there are only three cities in Gecheng, Wuyang and Pingshu, they are the gateways to the capital of Yan, and their strategic location is extremely important.

Let's start with Katsuragi.

Yan has a large area of plastered land, deep into the hinterland of Zhao State, this land is adjacent to the Zhongshan of Zhao State, the land is fertile, densely populated, and there are many cities, which is almost the richest place in Yan State.

The most central city in this area is Katsuragi.

Katsuragi is not only located in the very center of this land, but also guards the natural danger of the water, if Katsuragi is acquired by the Zhao State, the entire anointed land is at risk of being lost at any time.

The importance of Katsuragi is self-evident.

Let's talk about Wuyang.

The southwest of the land of Yan and Zhao is intertwined, the land of Yan in front of it is deep into the hinterland of Zhao State, but Zhao State also has a piece of land deep into the hinterland of Yan State, and Linle, the easternmost part of that land, is only two hundred miles away from the capital of Yan State.

This piece of land in Zhao Kingdom is like a sharp blade piercing the heart of Yan Kingdom, making it difficult for Yan Kingdom to sleep and eat.

Just in the north of this land, there is a big city called Wuyang, which guards the easy water and natural danger, and is the barrier in the south of the Yan Kingdom.

If Wuyang is ceded to Zhao State, Zhao State can completely send troops from Wuyang and go straight to Ji, the capital of Yan State, and Yan State will no longer have a steep city to block the pace of Zhao State's army.

If it is said that Katsuragi is ceded, it will make Yan Guo risk losing that anointed land at any time.

Then ceding Wuyang is equivalent to letting the entire capital of Yan Kingdom, and when facing Zhao State in the future, there is no danger to defend.

Compared to the importance of these two cities, although Pingshu was able to rely on the Great Wall to defend against Zhao, it also seemed a little insignificant.

With such harsh conditions, how could Yan Guo agree?

Seeing this, Zhao Jia was not in a hurry, and said with a smile: "Don't be so anxious, and listen to me first." ”

"I, Zhao State, also occupy the city of Yan Kingdom in vain, but I am ready to exchange the three cities of Longdui, Fenmen, and Linle."

Zhao Jia's words fell, and the court of Yan Kingdom was in an uproar again.

As mentioned earlier, Zhao has a piece of land deep into the hinterland of Yan State, and the easternmost Linle City is even less than 200 miles away from the capital of Yan State.

This thorn that penetrated deep into the flesh of Yan Guo, Yan Guo had long wanted to pull it out, but unfortunately Zhao Guoguo was strong, and Yan Guo had worked hard for many years without success.

But now, Zhao Guo is willing to cede that piece of land to Yan State, how can he not let Yan Kingdom shake up and down?

But soon, Yan Guowenwu reacted.

If Yan Guo gets this land, it is true that he can pull out the thorns in the flesh, but the three cities ceded to Zhao will become sharp blades hanging over Yan Guo's neck, and the situation will become worse and worse.

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

King Yan hesitated for a long time, but finally gritted his teeth and refused.

When Zhao Jia heard this, he just said softly: "Since the king is determined to form an alliance with me Zhao Guoyong, he must also show his sincerity." ”

"These three cities are the sincerity that Yan Guo can show."

"In order to show sincerity, I, Zhao Guo, also took out three cities in the place of ointment in exchange, and asked the king to think twice before acting."

Although Zhao Jia's face was calm, the resoluteness in his words and the faint threat revealed made King Yan's face change slightly.

"Wei is in urgent need of rescue, today is the deadline, if the king can't show enough sincerity, maybe in a few days, Jicheng will be breached."

Zhao Jia looked around and saw the resistance on Yan Guo's civil and military faces, but he didn't shy away at all, and bluntly threatened.

This land exchange was not facilitated by Zhao Jia, the same thing happened in history.

It's just that due to the appearance of Zhao Jia, the time for this land change to happen has been advanced by a year.

With the current national strength of Zhao and Yan, as long as the land exchange is successful, unless there is a huge change in Zhao State, or Yan State is tired of life, Yan State will never dare to easily send troops to attack Zhao State.

On the contrary, Zhao can send troops at any time to capture the richest place in Yan State, and even point his troops directly at the capital of Yan State.

The move of exchanging land, no matter how you look at it, will do all kinds of harm to Yan Guo and no benefit, and the King of Yan and the civil and military forces of Yan Kingdom are absolutely unwilling to agree.

It's a pity that in history, the State of Qi did not send troops, and the State of Zhao forced the State of Yan to have to change land, not to mention the current State of Zhao, which made it impossible for the State of Yan to refuse.

After discussing for a long time, although the king of Yan was still reluctant in his heart, he finally agreed, and the two sides first signed a land exchange contract, and then made a blood alliance, and Yan sent 100,000 troops to follow Zhao and Qi to Wei.

This war against Yan came to an end.

Zhao and Qi allied army camp.

Zhou Zi frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "My king only promised to help Zhao send troops to attack Yan State, but he did not plan to join the Hezong army and go to attack Qin State. ”

Lian Po said: "King Qi can't see the heart of the tiger and wolf of the Qin State, can't Mr. see it either?" ”

Facing Lian Po's questioning, Zhou Zi pondered for a long time, and finally sighed: "Although I have the heart to lead the Qi army to join the Hezong army, I have not received the edict of the king, so I dare not act rashly." ”

Zhao Jia stepped forward and chuckled, "Sir, please take a look at Pingshu." ”

"King Yan has exchanged Pingshu to Zhao, Pingshu is located in the north of Zhongyi, even if Zhao keeps his promise to cede Zhongyi to Qi, after Zhao and Yan exchange land, Qi still does not border Yan."

"Sir can return to the King of Qi, as long as the State of Qi joins the army of Hezong and obeys the dispatch of Gongzi Wuji, the State of Zhao will not only keep its promise to cede Zhongyi, but also cede Pingshu to the State of Qi."

When Zhou Zi heard this, his face finally changed.

Zhongyi and Pingshu are both very extensive places near the sea, especially the city of Pingshu, which is located on the north bank of the Great River, if the Qi State can get Pingshu, it will become very easy to attack the Yan State in the future.

The most important thing is that the Qi State sent 150,000 troops to attack Yan this time, just to get the Zhongyi of Zhao State, so from now on, Qi State will border Yan State, and can send troops to attack Yan State at any time.

What Zhou Zi didn't expect was that Yan Guo had exchanged Ping Shu to Zhao Guo.

If Pingshu is in the hands of Zhao, the idea that Qi borders Yan will not be valid, and if you want to attack Yan to expand your territory in the future, you can only attack the powerful Zhao first.

This kind of thing is not something that Qi Guo wants to see.

Seeing that Zhou Zi was still a little hesitant, Li Si, who was standing next to him, stepped forward and persuaded: "Sir, this time the Six Kingdoms invaded Qin, no matter how strong the Qin State is, it will definitely be defeated." ”

"If the Qi State participates in the Hezhong Army, not only can it become famous in the world, but it can also obtain the two big cities of Zhongyi and Pingshu without much effort, why not?"

"On the contrary, if the five countries join forces to attack Qin, only the Qi State sits idly by, what will the other five countries think?"

"Even if the Qi State wants to go north to attack Yan in the future, I'm afraid the five countries will not support it, and may even help Yan attack Qi."

When Zhou Zi heard this, his face changed slightly.

Today, in order to join forces with Qin, Zhao can unite with Qi to attack Yan, and may help Yan to attack Qi in the future.

At this time, it is either friend or foe.

If the State of Qi does not join the army, let alone the Yan State that is the feud of the Qi State, and the State of Zhao may also seek to seize the land of the State of Qi in the future.

At that time, even if Zhao and Yan worked together to defeat Qi, it was difficult for Qi to find allies to help.

Today's Zhao State is sharp, first using the power of Wei and Qi to persecute Yan, and then with the help of other countries to force Qi.

After figuring out the key, Zhou Zi couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head.

It's just that Zhou Zi didn't have any anger in his heart, just because Zhou Zi was a smart person and knew the importance of cooperating with Qin.

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Zi said solemnly: "General, Gongzi Jia, please rest assured, no matter what, I will also persuade the king to join the army this time." ”
