Chapter 335: Qin Yan's Secret Alliance, Yan Dan's Ambition
"Yan Chunjun, in this way, you agree to cooperate with the Qin State to encircle and suppress the armies of Zhao and Chu?"
Zhang Ji looked at Yan Chunjun, who knew each other, with a smile on his face.
Yan Chunjun was far easier to get into than he thought, which was a bit unexpected for him.
Luowang's analysis of Yan Chunjun is that he is greedy for money and lustful for power, but he still abides by the laws of Yan Kingdom in general.
Moreover, even though Yan Chunjun was already a little incompatible with Yan Dan, most of Yan Chunjun did not stop Yan Dan's behavior of inserting henchmen in Yan Ting.
The analysis of the sun is that Yan Chunjun still has Yan Guo in his heart.
Maybe Yan Chunjun also had blood and ambitions like Yan Dan in his heart.
Just like a king who has never wanted to be a faint king since ancient times, who is not dedicated to great things after ascending the throne, but in the end he did not stick to it for various reasons.
It is not excluded that Yan Chunjun understands that when Yan is rich and strong, his interests can be maximized.
But no matter what the reason, Yan Chunjun did not stop Yan Dan from inserting his henchmen, and even secretly backed down a lot.
Therefore, I thought that it would take a lot of words to persuade Yan Chunjun to ally with Qin, but I didn't expect Yan Chunjun to agree very happily.
"Naturally, this time the troops were sent because of the coercion of Zhao State."
Yan Chunjun's voice was full of resentment, the Zhao army entered the Yan-Zhao border, and then Pang Xuan re-entered Jicheng and "politely" lobbied his brother, and Yan Guo would participate in this cooperation.
Otherwise, what reason does Yan Guo have for sending troops?
It must be known that between the Yan State and the Qin State, how many miles apart?
And if the coalition forces win, not only will the Yan State not only have less than half an inch of land, but it may also face a more powerful and contradictory Zhao State.
Therefore, from the first time Yan participated in the alliance, it either secretly signed peace negotiations and even alliances with Qin State in private, or fished in troubled waters and did not contribute to the work.
Compared with a Zhao State that would take Yan no matter whether he won or lost, Yan Chunjun preferred to believe in a Qin State that would not necessarily be able to destroy Zhao State and thus border Yan State even if he won.
"It's just that although Benjun is the chief general of the Yan army, after all, there are deputy generals in the army."
As he spoke, Yan Chunjun looked at Yan Dan.
Judging from Yan Dan's performance just now, Yan Dan did not support the Yan army's defection, but tended to stay still or even quietly withdraw the troops.
Although Yan Dan's character is a little despicable, his talent and vision are also a little bit.
The Yan army did not move or even quietly withdrew its troops, at most, leaving a cowardly statement, and the coalition forces could not blame the Yan State.
However, if the Yan State defected to the Qin State and encircled and suppressed the Zhao army and the Chu army before and after, it would be a grandiose betrayal, and it would be a bad relationship with all countries, and from then on it could only be friendly with the Qin State.
"I know what the prince is worried about."
Zhang Ji had done his homework in advance, and this plan of flanking back and forth had been discussed with Wang Qi, Yang Duanhe, Meng Biao and others, and it was the most beneficial to the Qin State.
But Zhang Ji also asked everyone to consider it from the perspective of Yan Guo, and deduced the problems that Yan Guo might be worried about.
"Yan and Zhao have a deep hatred, why not send troops to take revenge?" Zhang Ji pointed his hand on the land of the Yan Dynasty on the map, "Avenge the country, and avenge the ministers who have died in this land for many years, such as Su Belly, Qing Qin, and Ju Xin, why not?" ”
"Furthermore, if Zhao Guo is defeated, how can he have the strength to attack Zhao Guo? And the state of Chu and the state of Yan are thousands of miles apart, how can they retaliate? ”
Yan Dan's eyes moved slightly.
As Zhang Ji said, if the 100,000 army of Zhao State was annihilated in the hinterland of Qin State, then what strength did Zhao State have to threaten Yan State?
At that time, the Yan State can even attack the Zhao State, not only to regain the cities lost in the previous years, but also to capture more cities.
Yan Dan's afterglow looked at Yan Chunjun on the side, once he did this, his position as the crown prince would also be completely stable, and it would never be replaced by Gongzi Yin, who Yan Chunjun was trying to support.
It's just that he is still a little worried.
Qin's national strength is too strong, if it borders the land of Yan that annexed Zhao in the future, how can Yan protect itself if there is a conflict?
Zhang Ji saw that Yan Dan was already moved, so he decided to add the last fire to Yan Dan.
Zhang Ji got up, walked around the table and walked to Yan Dan's side, and whispered beside Yan Dan: "The king has never forgotten the covenant of the past HD, I wonder if the prince still remembers?" ”
Hearing the "HD Covenant", Yan Dan's body trembled slightly.
Memories are flooding back, at that time, he and Yan Dan were both protons of Zhao Guo, and the two were inseparable friends at that time.
Back then, when I was reading history, I couldn't help but be excited when I read that King Zhaoxiang and King Qi had called each other the Eastern Emperor and the Western Emperor.
He stepped on a big bluestone and talked to Ying Zheng about each other's ambitions and the future.
"Zheng, you will definitely become the king of Qin. And I will be the future King of Yan! ”
"We're going to do it!"
"Wouldn't it be strong to meet the alliance and mutual emperors at that time?"
Yan Dan didn't expect that Ying Zheng still remembered this joke that had long been forgotten by him.
Perhaps, this is not an impossible joke.
"I never thought that King Qin had never forgotten the old people and the old things."
The corners of Yan Dan's mouth curled slightly, what a beautiful dream, and he Yan Dan will be the one who realizes this dream, he will surpass King Yan Zhao, and he will be the most outstanding king in the history of Yan Kingdom!
Yan Chunjun looked at Yan Dan and Zhang Ji with some puzzlement, he didn't understand what secret words were hidden in Zhang Ji's words, so that Yan Dan actually agreed to the plan to defect after hearing it.
But he will be the commander of the Yan army, and he is also the one who leads the troops to fight, Yan Dan is just an empty shelf without military power, and the Qin State will inevitably understand who has the most credit.
Of course, the alliance between the Qin State and the Yan State naturally also needs a formal alliance, otherwise this war will end, and if the Qin State turns its face and does not recognize people, the Yan State will be in danger.
Private feelings are private feelings, Yan Chunjun will not do anything to kill chickens and take eggs, and Yan Dan will not foolishly believe in Yingzheng's friendship with him, so the covenant is necessary.
However, Zhang Ji did not sign a covenant of comprehensive cooperation between Qin and Yan in military and economic aspects as the two thought, but only handed it to the two with a covenant written in advance and stamped with the golden seal of the king of Qin.
In the covenant, it was only promised that Qin would protect Yan from Zhao and send troops to help after Yan defected to help repel the coalition forces.
The rest are not committed.
Zhang Ji's explanation was: "I was in a hurry when I came, and I didn't expect that Yan Chunjun and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would have such a good impression of the Qin State, so there was only this preliminary covenant. ”
"When the war is over, how about a new covenant?"
This is a common situation, and in the past, the covenants between countries had to be revised many times, but now in wartime, the coalition forces blockaded Hangu Pass. And the Yan army was already preparing to pull out the camp and enter Hedong, and it was not convenient to sign a new alliance, and it was possible to expose the secret treaty between Yan and Qin.
Yan Dan and Yan Chunjun glanced at each other, and neither of them had any doubts on this point, and they signed this Qin Yan Covenant on behalf of Yan Wangxi.
