Lü Buwei's Jianyì seems to be in line with the ideas of many Qin ministers, but the difference is that other ministers only see the interests behind them, but cannot see through the essence of the matter. After such an analysis by Lü Buwei, King Qin already understood that although Yan Guo was powerful, he would soon tell Zhao Guo with practical actions, and Zhao Guo did not need to worry about himself. The great enemy of Cho has always been, and will always be, South Korea! It is imperative to send troops to attack the cities west of Taihang Mountain in Zhao State, but if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, and it is better for Qin to slow down!

The King of Qin summoned Zhao Li the next day and announced his decision. Regarding King Qin's request to cede land, Zhao Li naturally categorically refused. Zhao no longer has a size of land west of Fenshui, and if the land is cut, it will be the land east of Fenshui. Even if it was tens of miles of land, it was enough for the Qin State to gain a firm foothold east of Fenshui. In the future, when a war broke out between the two countries, Zhao Guoke was completely passive.

Fortunately, King Zhao's hope for the land was not so urgent, and after being refused, King Zhao asked Zhao to send 200,000 stone grain and grass as compensation to Qin. In return, the Qin State will strictly maintain neutrality and will never intervene in the war between Han and Zhao!

This did not exceed the bottom line of Zhao State, although 200,000 stone grain grass is a huge number for Zhao State, but in exchange for Qin State's strict neutrality, it is also worth it for Zhao State. After all, Zhao Guo didn't have much hope for Qin to send troops to help him in the first place! Today's Qin State is no longer the Qin State that was dominant, and the world talked about Qin and changed color! If the Qin State saves Zhao, it is useless if there are fewer troops, and if there are more troops, the garrison will be empty!

However, of course, Zhao Guo was not stupid and would not believe in King Qin's promise, so Zhao Li said on behalf of King Zhao that he would only pay 50,000 stone of grain and grass first, and the remaining 150,000 stone. Pay off in three months, five stone of grain and grass per month! There is no blood alliance, just a gentleman's agreement.

Qin and Zhao were obviously very satisfied with reaching such an agreement. Qin would have enough time to prepare for the attack on Zhao, and Zhao could temporarily get rid of the threat from the west and concentrate all his efforts to repel the offensive of the Korean army.

The situation is similar to that of the Qin State. Faced with the envoy of the State of Zhao, the State of Qi made the same choice. That is to turn a blind eye to the war between South Korea and Zhao, and ignore it. However, the difference is that the Qin State is a suspicious tactic, and the Qi State is sincerely not wanting to cause trouble.

With the capture of Luxian and Liaocheng by South Korea, the State of Qi no longer borders on the State of Zhao, and even if it occupies hundreds of miles of land, it is an enclave, making enemies of Korea and assisting the State of Zhao. Qi Guo couldn't muster the courage to do so. Although he was resentful that Yan Guo had captured his own hundred miles of land, the monarchs and ministers of Qi State also knew that now was not the time to be vindictive. It is not a satisfaction to be able to watch this war as a bystander and laugh at the successes and failures of the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao, and Yan! Of course, if the Yan State is defeated, the Qi State does not mind raising the whole country's troops and seizing the land and people that originally belonged to the Yan State from the Yan State!

Yan Guo. Jicheng.

Pingyang Jun traveled all the way and finally arrived at Jicheng, the capital of Yan, on the eighth day. For this slightly rudimentary and crude city. Pingyang-kun couldn't raise the slightest interest. Yan State's attack on Zhao directly made Zhao State suffer from the enemy, these days, Yanmen, Yunzhong's army has been south, and it is about to arrive in Julu County, but it was ordered by King Zhao to go to resist the Yan army. Instead of going south to save the precarious Handan. Yan Guo took advantage of the fire to rob without concealment, and if you want to blame Zhao Guo for being too big, blame King Zhao for not listening to his own construction, and not aware of Yan Guo's ambitions.

However, although Pingyang Jun was resentful in his heart. It is also clear that Yan Guo has unknowingly become the existence of the future of Zhao State. If Zhao Guo still has 100,000 elites, he can start from Daijun and attack Jicheng. But unfortunately, it is the Yan State that is now full of troops, and the 100,000 troops that the Yan State has gathered in the Wuyang area are more like a silent threat. As long as Yan Guo is willing, he can attack Julu County in the north and south at any time, making Handan a complete mortal enemy.

However, this does not mean that Pingyang Jun needs to keep his voice down in front of King Yan. Before leaving, Pingyangjun and Lin Xiangru exchanged opinions and came to the conclusion that Yan Guo was making a big move against Zhao Guo at this time, and it would only cheapen Korea for nothing. The more land Yan gains, the greater the loss. South Korea can completely catch cicadas and yellow finches behind, and take these lands from the Yan State without much effort. It is impossible for Yan Guo not to be clear about this truth! This is also Pingyang Jun's last reliance on lobbying Yan Guo!

Blindly whispering will only make Yan Guo look down, and putting on a posture of a dead fish and a broken net will have a miraculous effect! After all, the current Zhao Kingdom has nothing to lose, but the Yan Kingdom is not.

Yan State Prime Minister Jiangqu's visit to Pingyang Jun Zhao Bao seems neither salty nor light, neither hot nor cold, it seems that this is a normal envoy activity, it seems that Yan and Zhao are still the alliance between Yan and Zhao to deal with South Korea together.

Pingyang Jun didn't have time to hide it, so he directly explained his intentions and said to Jiangqu: "The Han army has already conquered Ge Xin City, east of Handan, and there is no danger to defend!" Handan reinforcements are trapped in Julu County, unable to go south, and now the ministers of the court are constantly arguing, some say that they will negotiate peace with South Korea, and some will stick to it. If the prime minister felt that it didn't matter, then (Zhao) Leopard would immediately return to Handan, send an envoy to Korea on behalf of King Zhao, cede all the land south of Handan to Korea, and appoint Chang'an Jun to hostage Han and claim to Korea. Presumably, South Korea is also willing to weaken the country of Yan! ”

Choked by Pingyang Jun's straightforward words, Jiang Qu couldn't sit still anymore, and said with a smile: "Yan Zhao is one, why did you say this?" In the opinion of the channel, this matter needs to be considered in the long run! Think long-term! ”

"Hehe", Pingyang Jun sneered again and again, and said: "This is one?!" Think long-term?! Is the prime minister joking?! At the beginning, Yan Guo wanted to plot against Qi State, but without saying a word, we Zhao State immediately sent troops to Qin State to attract the attention of South Korea for Yan State! Now that the Yan State has seized the land of a hundred miles north of Jishui, is it that our Zhao State has lost its role?! So Yan Guo treacherously won over South Korea and attacked my Zhao State?! I knew that Yan Guo was of this character, I should have persuaded King Zhao to avoid being humiliated today! ”

"Your Excellency, don't be impatient! Calm down! Seeing that Pingyang Jun was angry, he comforted Qu Lianlian, and then put on a bitter and embarrassed face, sighed, and explained the reason.

"The matter of cutting down Zhao is really not the original intention of (Jiang) Qu, but the king was deceived by the villain, and only saw the interests behind it, but did not see the friendship of Yan and Zhao supporting each other! Zhao Guoruo ceded the land south of Handan to Korea. South Korea will be even more unscrupulous. With South Korea's national strength, it can come to Handan at any time, and Zhao can only breathe in a low voice! The so-called king humiliates the death of his ministers, King Zhao's blood is strong, and with the wisdom of the king, how can he not know the risks? This matter needs to be considered in the long run! Think long-term! ”

Pingyang-jun snorted coldly. It was regarded as accepting Jiangqu's statement, but he still said very dissatisfiedly: "Yan Guo has taken three cities from me in a row, a hundred miles of land, how should this account be settled?" If King Yan refuses to wake up, what should he do? Leopard also hopes that the prime minister will give me an explanation, and I will also give an account to King Zhao. Otherwise, for the sake of Zhao Guo's reputation, it's a big deal to break the net with Yan Guoyu! Leopard has heard that the Qi State has always wanted to restore its homeland. This time, the Qi State lost hundreds of miles of land under the Yan State, how could the Qi State be willing to give up! With the power of the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao, and Qi, even if Yan has tens of thousands of iron horses, it will not help! ”

Jiang Qu frowned slightly, of course he knew that Pingyang Jun was threatening himself, as long as Zhao Guo could give up his skin, South Korea would definitely be willing to accept Zhao Guo as his junior brother, plus Qi Guo. Yan Guo only has the share of defeat. When the time comes, Jicheng will be ruined! Seemingly. Zhao Guo was really angry this time. Knowing this, he should have only taken one or two cities, so as not to make Zhao Guo too nervous.

"(Will) Qu enter the palace to tell the king about the pros and cons, and ask the king to wait here for good news, how about it?" Jiang Qu said flatteringly.

Zhao Guo is too big after all, and he waits for Lian Po's army to return to the division. It is not easy for Yan Guo to get out of the way. Unless the army around Wuyang is transferred to Julu, the Yan State will have a relatively large chance of victory. But in this way, Zhao Guo chose to face Mai Mang with Yan Guo, and both sides suffered heavy losses, which would only cheapen South Korea!

"I hope the prime minister will do a lot of tricks! As long as Yan Guo is willing to call off the army and truce. The leopard must return to Handan, play the king of Zhao, and rebuild the good of Yan Zhao! After all, compared with South Korea, even if we have tens of thousands of more people and hundreds of miles of land, we can't defeat South Korea! Only by working together can there be room for turnaround! Pingyangjun said very sincerely.

"What the king said is very true! Please wait! The ditch confessed his sin, and Shi Shiran retreated.

Half an hour later, King Yan convened the ministers to discuss the matter. Jiang Qu carefully explained the threat of Zhao Guo, causing the monarchs and ministers of Yan State to frown.

Zhonglang took the lead in saying, "Your Majesty! If Zhao Guo really breaks the net with our Yan Guoyu, our plan will be in vain! ”

Yan Guo's plan is to let Han and Zhao fight to the death, and Yan Guo will enjoy the benefits of fishermen. However, it is obvious that Zhao Guo did not want his close neighbors to "benefit a lot", and in order to force Yan Guo to change his original intention, he did not hesitate to fight to the death with Yan Guo to become a common enemy, South Korea. That's tricky! Today's Zhao Guo has the demeanor of a gambler with red eyes after losing, and he can't be compared with common sense. Zhao Guo is crazy, Yan Guo can't accompany Zhao Guo to go crazy!

Regarding the opinion of his confidants, King Yan thought it was true. Even if this is just a threat from Zhao Guo, it cannot be underestimated. (Revised before one o'clock)

Lü Buwei's Jianyì seems to be in line with the ideas of many Qin ministers, but the difference is that other ministers only see the interests behind them, but cannot see through the essence of the matter.

Qin and Zhao were interested in reaching such an agreement. Apparently all satisfied. Qin would have enough time to prepare for the attack on Zhao, and Zhao could temporarily get rid of the threat from the west and concentrate all his efforts to repel the offensive of the Korean army.

Similar to the situation of Qin, Qi made the same choice in the face of Zhao's envoys. That is to turn a blind eye to the war between South Korea and Zhao, and ignore it. However, the difference is that the Qin State is a suspicious tactic, and the Qi State is sincerely not wanting to cause trouble.

With the capture of Luxian and Liaocheng by Korea, the state of Qi no longer borders the state of Zhao.

It is not a satisfaction to be able to watch this war as a bystander and laugh at the successes and failures of the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao, and Yan! Of course. If the Yan State is defeated, the Qi State does not mind raising the whole country's troops by itself. Take the land and people that originally belonged to you from the Yan Kingdom!

Yan country, Jicheng.
