After Gongzizhi was defeated by the Qi people, he shrank his forces to hold the lower capital, and on the other hand, he went to Handan with Yan Zhou as an envoy to ask Zhao for help. Yan Zhou came to Handan and said with a sympathetic expression: "Zhao Jun, my king asks you to send troops." ”

Zhao Yong replied: "Qi is a big country in the East, and the competitive division of Qi dominates the world. The state of Zhao was weak, and it was difficult to defeat the Qi army. The Qi army has the help of Zhongshan State, how can Zhao State be the opponent of the two countries. Ambassador, if you don't help King Yan, it's really too strong for the Qi and Zhongshan coalitions. ”

"Qi and Zhongshan join forces, and Yan and Zhao can't win. Zhao Jun, what should we do? ”

"Ask for help from the Qin State." Zhao Yong stared at the other party's eyes and continued: "Yan, Zhao, Qin, and Han join forces to defeat the allied forces of Qi and Zhongshan. ”

Yan Zhouhu doubted: "Is the Qin State willing to send troops for the Yan State to offend the Qi State?" ”

"Empress Yan Yi is the daughter of King Qin, and her son is the nephew of King Qin. The country of Yan is in trouble, and the state of Qin will not sit idly by. ”

"The Qin State is a long way away, and the Qin army has not yet arrived in the Yan Kingdom. Qi and Zhongshan have already destroyed the Yan Kingdom. Yan Zhou looked worried: "The Qin army is here, and it can't save the fate of the Yan country." ”

"The widow helped the son return to China and recover the Yan country. Once there is a crisis of the Yan Kingdom, the widow will not sit idly by. ”

"I'll go back to Yan and ask Empress Yan Yi and Wang Shangxiu to write a letter to ask for help from Qin." Yan Zhou saluted and turned to leave. After Yan Zhou left, Zhao Yong dispersed the court meeting, and Mu Jian asked: "Your Majesty, for the sake of Yan State, you did not hesitate to damage the national strength of Zhao State and fight a decisive battle with Qi State." ”

Zhao Yong smiled faintly, "The widow interferes in the internal affairs of Yan, because he doesn't want the Qi people to destroy the Yan country." The widow will not consume national strength for the sake of Yan and Qi for a decisive battle. ”

"It is imperative for the King of Qi to destroy the Yan." Mu Jian was a little confused, "Once we get involved, the Qi State will inevitably fight a decisive battle with us." If we support the prince's position, won't we start a war with the Qi State? ”

"We are already at war with the Qi State." Zhao Yong paused and continued: "But the contest between Qi and Zhao is in Yan Kingdom. ”

The more Tu Yi listened, the more confused he became, and asked, "Are we at war in the Yan Kingdom and the Qi Kingdom?" ”

"The King of Qi wants to include Yan into the territory of Qi. The state of Qi cannot go to war directly with our country. Once the Qi State starts a war with us, it will inevitably be impossible to control the situation in the Yan Kingdom. The widow concluded that the Qi State would not choose to fight with our country within the mainland. Zhao Yong walked out of the hall and looked up at the sky, "Qi and my country can't fight." The widow didn't want to fight a decisive battle with the Qi country for the sake of the Yan country. What the widow wants is to maintain the current status quo of the Yan Kingdom. ”

Yan Zhou returned to Yan and conveyed the meaning of King Zhao. Gongzi thought about it, and also thought that Zhao Jun's idea was good. Qi, Zhongshan and Ji Ping joined forces, and Yan and Zhao could not compete with them. Gongzi entered the palace and discussed with Yan Yihou about asking for help from the Qin State. After listening carefully to Gongzi's analysis of the current situation in Yan Kingdom, Yan Yi asked calmly: "Zhi'er, have you decided?" ”

Gongzi did not hesitate at all, and replied: "The Qi State has broken through Jicheng in an attempt to destroy my Yan Kingdom and destroy my temple. The child has the blood of the surname Win and the surname Ji in his body. At the juncture of national crisis, how can children retreat. The child is willing to shoulder the mission of recovering the Yan Kingdom. ”

"Zhi'er, worthy of being a descendant of the Zhao family. There's a shadow of your grandfather when he was young. Seeing that the child had such ambitions, Yan Yihou nodded with satisfaction, "Zhi'er, I plan to compete for the throne and shoulder the mission of recovering the Yan Kingdom." The Queen Mother is also willing to help you. ”

Gongzi saluted and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother." ”

Qin Wangsi received a letter from Yan in Xianyang Palace, and summoned Zhang Yi, Ying Ji and others to discuss. Qin Wangsi handed the national letter of Yan Guo to Ying Ji, and was a little melancholy, "Ying Ji, this is the national letter from Yan Guo." ”

Ying quickly bowed, took the national letter to read, and said in surprise: "Your Majesty, this is Meng Huan's handwriting." ”

"You still recognize Meng Huan's handwriting." A little tear appeared in the corner of Qin Wangsi's eyes, "You have the best relationship with Meng Huan, if you can't recognize it." In the world, no one will recognize it. The widow remembers that Meng Huan wrote and was taught by you. ”

Ying replied, "Your Majesty, I only taught her to write her name. ”

"It's been more than 20 years since the widow married Meng Huan to Yan Kingdom!" Qin Wangsi sighed with emotion: "It's been more than 20 years, and the widow can't remember her appearance clearly. ”

"Yes! In the blink of an eye, more than 20 years have passed. Winning also sighed, "How many more than 20 years of life." ”

"I haven't heard from her for more than 20 years." Qin Wangsi held his forehead and said sentimentally: "Meng Huan still hates the widow for marrying her to Yan Guo back then!" Is the widow's decision wrong? ”

"O king, let not mention the past, lest it only increase sorrow." Ying Ji changed the topic and relieved Qin Wangsi's emotions, "The Qi State broke the Yan Kingdom in less than sixty days, the Yan Prince died in battle, and the Yan King was buried in the fire. Destroying the country of ten thousand times with ten thousand times, and breaking it in less than sixty days, is something that has never been done in the world. The strength of the Qi State is really too strong. ”

Qin Wangsi put away the sadness in his heart and sighed: "The Qi Kingdom is less than sixty days, and it is unprecedented in the world to break through the Yan Kingdom. Qi is worthy of being the first power in the East. ”

"Your Majesty, Meng Huan hopes that we will support Gongzi to recover the Yan Kingdom. There are three Jin Dynasty between us and the Qi State. We will send troops to support the Yan State, and we will also confront the Qi State head-on. Ying Ji asked, "Your Majesty, how should we choose?" ”

Qin Wangsi didn't answer, turned to look at Zhang Yi, and asked, "Zhang Yi, Yan Guo came to my country's rescue." We will save or not. ”

Zhang Yi's eyes stared at Yan Guo's national letter and replied, "Your Majesty, Yan Guo must be saved." ”

Ying Ji reminded: "The Qin State and the Yan State are thousands of miles apart. There are three Jin in between the Qin and Yan states. Excuse me, how did the Qin State rescue the Yan State through the Three Jin Dynasty. ”

Zhang Yi put away the national letter, respectfully handed it to Qin Wangsi, and replied: "Empress Yan Yi is the daughter of the king, and the prince is also the grandson of the king. Even if we save Yan, we must save it through thousands of dangers. ”

"The country of Yan is thousands of miles away from the country of Qin. Today, Qi and Zhongshan jointly broke through the Jicheng of Yan State. If we send troops to save Yan, we must take advantage of the three Jins. Will Sanjin lend us the Tao? Ying Ji asked, "Is it worth it for us to go head-to-head with the Qi State for the sake of the Yan Kingdom?" ”

Qin Wangsi looked at Yingji, then at Zhang Yi, and did not say anything.

"We want to go east to the valley to fight for the world. Long-distance friendship and close attack is a national policy formulated by our country. Zhang Yi replied calmly: "The prince of Yan has caused domestic turmoil in Yan Kingdom. Today, Yan Guo has no owner, and Zhao Guo supports Gongzi position. The State of Qi and the State of Zhongshan supported Prince Yan Taiping. We sent troops to rescue Yan Guo, and we will befriend Yan Zhao at the same time. Yan Zhao will also become our unwavering ally. If we don't rescue the Yan Kingdom. The State of Qi is bound to unite with Zhongshan and carve up the Kingdom of Yan. If the Qi country gains the Yan land, its strength will far surpass that of our country. If we go to fight for the world with Qi again, the situation is extremely unfavorable for us. The minister thought that saving Yan, one, could weaken the national strength of Qi; Second, you can marry Yan Zhao and contain Qi people. Four years ago, we lost to Qi people, and now is also the time to regain our dignity. Yan Kingdom, we must be saved. ”

Qin Wangsi pondered for a while, nodded and said, "That's what the widow means. For the sake of the public, saving Yan can make a good alliance with Yan Zhao and contain the Qi State, so as to weaken the national strength of the Qi State. For personal gain, Yan Yihou is the daughter of a widow, and the son is also the grandson of a widow. The widow supports him, which can be regarded as making up for the debt to Meng Huan. The widow once thought that Meng Huan would not come to me for anything, a ruthless father," Qin Wangsi looked at the national letter in his hand, and felt a slight warmth in his heart, "In Meng Huan's eyes, the son-in-law is more important than my father." Since Meng Huan opened his mouth and asked the widow to help Gongzi restore the Yan Kingdom. How could the widow break Meng Huan's heart again. Qin Wangsi stabilized his mind, and his eyes were resolute, "The widow also wants to know that in a few years, the gap between Qin and Qi will be there." ”

Ying Jian knew that Meng Huan was a knot in Qin Wangsi's heart. Meng Huan has a request, and King Qin will definitely agree.

"The king plans to save Yan, and I have nothing to say." Ying Ji asked: "Your Majesty, how can we help Gongzi Zhi repel Qi and Zhongshan and recover the Yan Kingdom." ”

King Qin stared at Zhang Yi and asked, "Zhang Yi advocates rescuing Yan Guo, you already have an idea in your heart. ”

Zhang Yi saw through the thoughts in his heart when the king saw through his thoughts, and replied, "Your Majesty, Yan Guo is to be saved. But, not now. ”

"Qin Xiang, what do you mean by this." Win Ji hesitated: "If we don't immediately send troops to save Yan Guo, Yan Guo will die at the hands of Qi State." Qin Xiang also said that the death of the Qi State and the Yan State is not good news for us. ”

Qin Wangsi took a breath and slowly spit out, "The Yan Kingdom is dead, and Meng Huan will hate the widow even more." ”

Zhang Yi smiled meaningfully and replied, "Your Majesty, with Zhao Jun here, Yan Guo can't die." ”

Qin Wangsi shook his head and vetoed: "Zhao Jun really wants to help Yan Guo fight against Qi State, how could Yan Guo come thousands of miles to ask for help from the widows. ”

Zhang Yi replied: "Zhao Jun chose to support the prince's position, because he didn't want Qi to annex Yan. In the matter of Yan Kingdom, how could Zhao Jun sit idly by. Zhao Jun was unwilling to do his best to help Yan Guo. First, the strength of the Qi State was strong, which made Zhao Jun fearful. Secondly, Zhao Jun wanted to use our strength to fight against the Qi people, so as to achieve the goal of weakening the Qi and Qin countries. ”

"Zhao Jun's intentions, how can a widow not see through it." Qin Wangsi thought for a while, looked worried, and asked, "If the widow doesn't save Yan, the Qi people really won't take the opportunity to kill Yan." ”

"The Qi State is dead, and the Zhao State is more anxious than us."

Ying Si thought about it, and also felt that Zhang Yi's words were reasonable. Yan Zhao's lips were cold, Qi destroyed Yan, and Zhao Jun was the first to sit still.

Seeing that the king did not interrupt him, Zhang Yi continued: "If we want to save Yan, we must attack the Qi State. If you want to attack the Qi State, you have to borrow Han Wei. Therefore, we are going to form an alliance with the Wei state. ”

Ying Ji asked, "The Wei Kingdom has formed an alliance with us. ”

Zhang Yi nodded, "The heir of King Wei married his daughter to the crown prince just to befriend us. We borrowed from Wei, and the heirs of Wei will not only borrow it, but also support us to attack together. ”

"A few years ago, we used Wei Han to attack the Qi Kingdom." Ying Ji reminded: "Han Wei attacked me against him, causing tens of thousands of our soldiers to be buried in the Qi Kingdom. You won't forget these things! ”

"This is a shame for the Qin State, and it is also a shame for me. I won't forget it for a moment. Zhang Yi said confidently: "Your Majesty, we should also find Qi people to be ashamed." ”

Qin Wangsi asked, "Zhang Yi, you go on." ”

"Yan and Zhao have restrained the Qi State. The princes of the Central Plains were in chaos and had no time to take care of themselves. The minister thinks that our top priority is to break the strategy of the princes, attack Korea, and form an alliance with Wei. If the rhino head is here, we will not succeed if we take advantage of Han Wei's affairs. Zhang Yi continued: "Attacking South Korea can not only divide Han Chu, break the strategy of the princes, but also drive away the rhinoceros. ”

"When the rhino head is angry, all the princes of the world are afraid. In the past few years, the rhinoceros has disturbed the princes of the world, and the widows have not been able to sleep steadily. Qin Wangsi recalled that the rhino head invited Han, Zhao, Wei, Chuyan and the five kingdoms to attack Qin, and the Qin State was almost in danger of dying, "If the rhino head is not removed for a day, the widow will be unsafe for a day." ”
