King Yan asked Zou Yan if it was for Qin's battle against Yiqu.

Zou Yan nodded: "Your Majesty, this matter is not ordinary. ”

King Yan replied: "The important ministers have discussed, and there is nothing extraordinary. The Qin State and the Five Nations Alliance did not attack for about ten years, and it was impossible for the Qin army to really go home to farm, so it was also common sense to attack the Rongdi tribes that could be fought around them. ”

"Your Majesty, although it is common sense, the ministers don't think so."

"Teacher, take a break."

"It's fine."

Zou Yan knew that this city gate was not the place to speak, so after going back to wash and change clothes, he came to the palace of King Yan.

King Yan had already prepared the wine and food, and after shielding the left and right, King Yan asked: "This time to attack Qi, Qin has a great favor to Yan Guo." Although the Yan State was poor, the widow still planned to send some grain, grass, and ordnance to show his support for the Qin State. ”

"Your Majesty, what the minister wants to ask is, what does the king think the Qin State will do in ten years?"

"Ten years from now?" King Yan held his chin and thought for a while, and shook his head: "Some people don't dare to think about ten years later, the widow thinks that ten years later, Qin and Wei will definitely fight." ”

Zou Yan asked again: "So, what about after World War I?" ”

"Please ask the teacher for advice."

Zou Yan replied: "The minister is not good at military and political affairs, but the minister is in charge of the affairs of agriculture, mulberry, grain and grass in Yan State. Didn't the king find out that this was the second change of the Qin State? ”

"Quadratic change?" King Yan didn't quite understand what it meant.

Zou Yan said: "The first change of the law in the Qin State was the Shang Jun, and what he really encouraged was conquest and farming. Studying the previous changes of the Qin state, the Qin state restrained the Qin people with heavy punishments, encouraged conquest, and encouraged cultivation. And this time, the Qin State has officially begun to discuss the abolition of the four punishments in corporal punishment in addition to the Great Pi. ”

"Yes." This is not a secret, King Yan naturally knows it.

The five major corporal punishments are palace punishment, cutting off noses, cutting off hands and feet, branding on the face, and Dapi.

Dabi is to cut off the head.

Zou Yan continued: "The Qin State invited Xun Guo to Xianyang and invited Xun Guo to be the Xiang State, but this Xiang Country is no longer the Xiang State of the king's reason. ”

"Yes, according to the envoys sent by the Yan State to the Qin State, this Xiangguo has less than one-third of the original power."

"Exactly, the Qin State is changing, first abolishing torture, and then dividing power among the seventeen ministers, and centralizing power in the monarch, it seems that it is just Bai Hui's words and the words of the King of Qin, but it is extremely scary to think about it."

After thinking carefully, King Yan nodded silently: "What the teacher said is true." ”

"Also, the biggest change in the Qin State at the moment is the merchant, which is in conflict with the Shang Jun's decree, but the merchant has become the most subsidized thing in the Qin State at the moment, if the Qin law is still the same, Bai Hui should be sentenced to death, because he broke the Shang Jun's rules for the merchant, but what about the facts."

King Yan said: "Bai Hui is in the Qin State, like the sun, in his early twenties, he is not a prince and relies on meritorious deeds to become a monarch, he is the first. ”

"Also, build water conservancy. Has the king ever thought about how much fertile land the Qin State will add, and how much grain will be added to the granary of the Qin State ten years later? ”

"This ......"

Zou Yan returned to the topic: "Your Majesty, there are two paths to choose in Yan State. ”

"Please ask the teacher for advice."

"One, one day in the future, the king will still be the king, but the king of Qin may be the son of heaven, and the kingdom of Yan will be attached to Qin. Second, the Yan State and the Six Kingdoms worked together to resist Qin, and finally died in battle. ”

Yan Wang Teng stood up immediately: "Fight and die?" ”

"Your Majesty, is there a general in my Yan Kingdom who can fight against any of the two brothers, Bai Qi and Bai Hui? The minister does not know how to fight, but in the process of this attack, I heard the army talking, and the Yan army thought that the Qin army was stronger, stronger than the Six Kingdoms. If any of the Qin army Bai Qi and Bai Hui lead the army, the six countries will be invincible, not to mention that the two brothers will often join forces to lead the army. ”

After listening to Zou Yan's words, King Yan felt cold behind his back, and sweat flowed down his forehead unconsciously.

Indeed, Yan Guo couldn't find a general who could fight against Bai Qi and Bai Hui.

Le Yi is a good general, but ......

King Yan couldn't help but shake his head, Le Yi couldn't even think of it, not to mention being able to command a surprise attack on Linzi.

"Teacher, you mean that Qin wants to represent the Son of Heaven?"

The minister thought that he was not thinking, but that he was already doing this. The Son of Heaven and his close ministers are the puppets in Bai Hui's hands, aren't they the puppets of King Qin? I believe that in a few years, the intermediaries of Wei, Han, Zhao, and Chu will do everything possible to separate the trust of the two brothers Bai Qi and Bai Hui from the King of Qin. ”

"What should I do with Yan Guo?"

Zou Yan asked rhetorically: "Then how to choose the king?" ”

On the one hand, it is attached, and on the other hand, it is the dead country, how to choose the king of Yan.

Zou Yan said again: "The king wants to send grain, grass, and ordnance to the Qin State, and the minister thinks it is a clever plan, no matter how you choose, now that the covenant has just begun, there is no harm in making friends first." Next, see how strong the Qin army is, and see if it is possible for the four countries to block the Qin army. Also depends on ......"

Zou Yan stopped, thinking about his guess.

Zou Yan is not a strong military and political powerhouse, he is a yin and yang family, and he is also an excellent steward of agriculture and internal affairs.

King Yan asked: "Think about it, in terms of military merits, the two brothers Bai Qi and Bai Hui should be enough to seal the monarch after attacking Qi, but if they are not sealed at this time, it is definitely not that King Qin does not trust these two brothers." ”

Zou Yan nodded violently: "The king is wise, what the minister is thinking about is this, and the minister thinks that it is not that he is not sealed, but that he is waiting." ”

"Yes, I'm waiting. So what are you waiting for? ”

"Why don't we wait, and see what kind of titles and food the King of Qin gives to these two brothers."

"Okay." Yan Wang believes that this conclusion will soon be seen.

The battle between Qin and Yiqu will be three to five months at most, and there will be results at that time.

What King Yan didn't know was that the war between Qin and Yiqu was over.

Bai Hui set up a tent, set up a table, and set up food and drinks in front of the camp of the Yiqu Northern Defense Army alone.

After the rain, he shouted outside the Yiqu North Defense Army: "If someone can speak, my family is young and good." ”

The people of Yiqu had long noticed Bai Hui's actions.

As Bai Qi guessed, the Qin army moved too fast, and before the Yiqu Northern Defense Army came to its senses, all the strategic points of the entire Yiqu were captured by the Qin army, or were in the process of being captured.

And the main force of the Qin army has arrived in the royal city of Yiqu, and it can be said that Yiqu has died.

There were three people who came out, and the first one was named Zhai Qi.

At this time, the word pronunciation (diyin) is also tongdi.

"General Zhai!"

"Shao Liang made."

After the two sides saluted, Zhai Qi sat down.

Bai Hui poured the wine and said, "Generally speaking, those who have been on the border for many years are people who are not liked by the core nobles, right?" ”

"Yes!"

Bai Hui raised his glass: "How about changing your surname?" ”

Zhai Qi was stunned for a moment, many people are proud of having a surname, Yiqu is a very ordinary tribe, more than ninety percent of people don't say it's a surname, they don't even have a serious name.

"If you give the surname Zhai, it is better to change your surname to Yiqu."
