Qin Shizhi's Confucian junior master

Chapter 323, Cutting Yan, Young Master Surrenders
Qin Jun, Feng Quji and Dunwei's camp.

Feng Quji looked at the information in his hand, his eyes were full of doubts, and he scratched his head suddenly and widened his eyes to look at the information, his eyes were also full of puzzlement.

"Are you sure this information is true?" Feng Quji asked as he looked at the soldier who sent the information.

"Yes, the king asked me to send it. The army of Yan State has gathered at the border and has arrived near Bowang via Zhao State." The soldier said with his hands clasped.

Yan Guo suddenly sent troops to help Wei, which was unexpected, but Yan Guo was not afraid.Yan State is not even as good as South Korea in the national power ranking of the Seven Kingdoms. South Korea used to occupy the Central Plains, with a vast land and a large number of people, and a strong bow and crossbow. It was once known as the mighty Han. Except for Yan Guoxiong who played a role during King Yan Zhao's time, he was either being beaten or struggling at other times.

If it wasn't for the fact that the territory is large enough, and there are many places of bitter cold, Yan State relied on sufficient strategic depth and Su Qin completely destroyed Qi State at the beginning, I am afraid that Yan State would have been wiped out by Qi State long ago.Yan Guo will always play a role among the Seven Kingdoms, a beaten guy who likes to join in the fun.

Moreover, Yan State often has no self-knowledge. I don’t know if King Yanzhao thought about destroying Zhao State when he saw the two neighboring countries, Qi and Zhao, for the courage of the later King Yan. The results of it?Yan State was defeated again and again by Zhao State. 10 people went to attack Li Mu and 3 people. As a result, those who were beaten by Li Mu fled in the Yishui River, and the cavalry broke through three cities in a row.The one who is both foody and playful is Yan Guo.

Feng Quji and Dunruo looked at each other, and the doubts in their eyes were clearly visible. They didn't understand where Yan Guo had the courage to help Wei fight against Qin.

"Is there any news about why Yan State sent troops to help Wei Chaotang?" Feng Quji asked.

"The court is also thinking about this issue. The reason for Yan's sudden dispatch of troops is still unclear," said the soldier.

Just as the soldiers said, at this moment, the court of the State of Qin is also discussing why the State of Yan came to help Wei Kangqin so far away. Ying Zheng looked at his top think tank who was in doubt and chuckled.

Lu Buwei, Li Si, Han Fei, and Wei Liao looked at the laughing Ying Zheng.

"We don't need to know why Yan State helped Wei. This is a rare and good opportunity. If we take this opportunity to send troops to attack Yan after conquering Wei State, do you think it is feasible?" Ying Zheng asked with a smile .

After conquering the State of Wei, the next target of the State of Qin was the State of Yan. Yingzheng was still worrying about what name he would use to attack the State of Yan, but he did not expect that the State of Yan would come to his door on its own initiative.The same matter is just an idea of ​​Yingzheng. After all, Qin State is now fighting on two fronts. If after capturing Wei State, they attack Yan State without rest, it is likely to shake the country's foundation.

Lu Buwei, Li Si, and Han Fei were lost in thought. Ying Zheng's words were obviously asking the three of them whether they had enough food, grass, ordnance.

"I don't think so. If we send people to attack Yan after capturing Wei, first of all, Yan and Wei are separated by Qi and Zhao, and the distance is far away. If we attack Yan, the logistics and food pressure will be huge. Secondly, the war in Wei is over. , The soldiers are exhausted, and if they are allowed to continue their conquests, there may be changes. In the end, after the Wei State is captured, it will need to be suppressed by a large army, and the Yan State can only be attacked after everything is over." Lu Buwei said with his hands clasped.

Lu Buwei, as a conservative in the court of the Qin State, has always advocated the gradual progress. In his opinion, this kind of big step is too dangerous. If you can swallow the country without any mistakes, there is no need to take a little risk. risk.

"I have a different opinion. Now that the national treasury is full of food, grass and military equipment, and the money is innumerable, it is enough to support us to fight another war of destroying the country. Besides, now that the Yan Kingdom has entered Wei, and all the elite troops in the country have been sent out, if Feng Quji and Dunwei If the army defeats the Yan army, then Yan will have no power to fight in a short time.

As for the fact that Yan is far away, we can take advantage of Zhao and attack Yan from Zhao.As for the military strength, General Wang Ben and Junior Brother Ziyou can continue to guard Wei.Junior Brother Ziyou has followers all over Wei State, relying on these people is enough to ensure the stability of Wei State, and then select troops from Lantian and Lishan to attack Yan State. Li Si stood up and said.

Ying Zheng looked at Li Si and nodded. His thoughts were similar to Li Si's, but it took a lot to organize a big battle, and there were too many factors involved. Ying Zheng looked at Wei Liao again.

"If Feng Quji and Dunwei's army can defeat the Yan army, then Yan State will naturally have nothing to worry about. The Lishan Camp, the Lantian Camp, and Yan Yu can also mobilize an army of [-], and then cooperate with Feng Quji and Dunwei. The [-] troops under his command are enough to wipe out the country of Yan." Wei Liao Fuxu said.

The military strength of the Yan State is like that, it is okay to fight the Hu people by relying on the depth and quality of the troops, but if it really fights with the Qin army, it will be defeated at the first touch.Yan State's greatest confidence is its own Jicheng Guard Army and Royal Palace Guard Army. These two armies are composed of former Liaodong soldiers.In the first battle of the Mohists, Yandan killed less than half of the guards of Jicheng. The current Yan Kingdom is not as good as South Korea in the past except for its land area.

"As for the matter of Zhao State, it is not difficult. Zhao State uses Yan State to help Wei, as long as we send someone to Zhao Guo's prime minister, Guo Kai, and then intimidate Qin State to be angry. Zhao Guo, as long as Zhao Guo agrees to let Qin Guo attack Yan Guo, he will naturally let Zhao Guo go. I believe that according to Guo Kai's behavior, he will definitely agree." Li Si continued.

"I think Tong Gu's words make sense. It's not that Daqin is incapable of destroying the country of Yan, but he's just being more cautious. What else can Father Zhong say?" Ying Zheng looked at Lu Buwei who was on the side.

Lu Buwei looked at Ying Zheng's appearance, and then at the other people. Of course, he understood that the attack on Yan State was a foregone conclusion. He couldn't stop it even if he agreed or disagreed, so he said helplessly
"I don't have any other problems. I just ask the king and the captain to think more about the selection of generals. As for the logistics and food, I will discuss with Zhisu Neishi."

"Since Zhong's father has no objection, let the Taiwei Mansion discuss how to defeat the Yan army, and then send people to inform Wang Ben and Feng Quji on the front line, let them cooperate with each other, temporarily ask Feng Quji to slow down the marching route, let Wang Ben's troops surrounded Daliang," Ying Zheng said.

"promise!"

"As for who will lead the troops to attack the Yan State, we still need to discuss it. We will discuss it after the attack of the Wei State." Ying Zheng thought about it and said.Now the generals of Qin State all have their own affairs, Wang Jian is in Chu, Wang Ben and Li Xin are in Wei, Mengwu Mengtian is in Zhao, Sima Su Yang Duanhe is also in Chu, and the rest of them cannot support a war of destroying the country.

"promise!"

Soon the whole state of Qin started to operate again, and after Wei Liao returned to Taiwei's mansion, he began to gather people to discuss how to defeat the Yan army and attack the state of Yan.

Wei Guochaotang, Wei Wangzeng looked at Ju Wu in front of him in surprise and asked

"Does King Yan really want to help Wei Guo fight against Qin?"

"Of course, the tyrant Qin launched an offensive, endangered the people, and persecuted the six countries. This is well known in the world. My country Yan is one of the six countries in Shandong. South Korea was destroyed in the past, and now the country Wei is in danger. If my country Yan does not help Wei country In the future, Qin’s military conquest will definitely be imposed on my Yan. I, the king of Yan, knows the truth of the death of lips and teeth, so I specially ordered me to bring a covenant, and come to advance and retreat with your country, and resist the tyranny of Qin together!” Ju Wucong He took out the covenant from his arms and offered it with both hands.

The ministers in the court of Wei State felt incredible. Yan State helped Wei fight against Qin. The country is a hostage, and now King Yan actually advocates resisting Qin. How can this be considered deceitful.

Wei Wangzeng also knew the situation of the Yan Kingdom, and after asking the waiter to present the covenant, he looked at the contents and the seal of the King of Yan stamped on it.

Seeing the hesitation and surprise on Wei Wangzeng's face, Ju Wu spoke again

"This time my king asked me to enter Wei and sign an alliance with Wei, and there is a condition to fight Qin together!"

Hearing Ju Wu's conditions, Wei Guochaotang heaved a sigh of relief, and began to slowly accept Yan Guo's assistance to Wei.

"What conditions!?" Wei Wangzeng asked.

"First of all, there are no generals in Yan and Wei. My king hopes that Mr. Xinping will be the commander of the coalition army. Secondly, my king hopes that Wei Wang can temporarily give up honor and disgrace, and strive to exchange land for time, no longer care about temporary gains and losses. Finally, my king hopes to wait until After the Qin army retreats, Wei Guo can bear the expense and rewards of our Yan army!" Ju Wu said.

Regarding what Ju Wu said, Wei Wangzeng could understand the first and third points, but Wei Wangzeng didn't understand what the second point meant.

"What does the envoy Yan mean by the second point?" Wei Wangzeng asked.

"To tell you the truth, my king, the country of Yan has signed an agreement with the country of Zhao. After the funeral of the country of Zhao, the country of Zhao will immediately send troops to attack the country of Qin, so as to help the country of Wei recover the land, so I hope that the country of Wei can exchange the land for time, so that Wait until Zhao Guoguo's funeral is over!" Ju Wu said.

The main combat faction of Wei State looked at Wei Wangzeng who was a little hesitant, and immediately stepped forward and began to talk about how the Three Kingdoms Federation would definitely be able to repel the Qin army.The Zhuhe faction also began to waver because of the entry of Yan State. They felt that relying on the armies of Yan and Wei countries was enough to last for three months. Not to mention anything else, relying on the walls and food of Daliang City was more than enough to last for three months. up.Therefore, both the main peace faction and the main war faction believed that an alliance should be signed with Yan.

The capitulation faction saw that the main peace faction had turned against them, and immediately stopped making a sound. Wei Wangzeng watched the minister below make a decision and nodded in agreement. However, the covenant between the two countries still needs some other things, so Wei Wangzeng asked the son After negotiating with Ju Wu, the court was dissolved.

In the prince's mansion, the young master sits opposite Ju Wu.

"Let's not mention the covenant with the envoys of Yan, I want to know how you persuaded the King of Yan?" The young master asked while looking at Ju Wu.

"I haven't seen you for many years, His Royal Highness is still like this." Ju Wu smiled and did not speak.

"Back then you were Brother Ji Dan's teacher. Now that I see you again, you have returned to the court of Yan Kingdom and become the envoy of Yan Kingdom. I remember that there was a disagreement between you and Brother Ji Dan, and you retired again." The young master pretended said with a smile.

Gong Zijia, Yan Dan and Ju Wu have known each other for a long time.It would be impossible for the young master to have a large number of followers without someone helping him, and the person who helped him was Yan Dan.As for the acquaintance between Yan Dan and Gongzijia, it was because Yan Dan went to Xinling to pay homage to Lord Xinling, and the two got to know each other.Yandan has the contacts of the future King Wei, Gongzijia, and Gongzijia also knows a lot of secrets from Yandan, including the Great Wall.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince died tragically in the Mohist family before he could achieve his plan. As his teacher, I should help him fulfill his last wish. His lips were cold and his teeth were dead. The Kingdom of Wei was gone. The Six Kingdoms were no longer able to resist the Kingdom of Qin. Respect, I should stand up and do something for the people of Yan Kingdom in this crisis of life and death." Ju Wu said with a smile.

"You came to Wei State in person, so I can't say anything. I think you should be ready for the covenant. It will be beneficial to Wei State to form an alliance with Yan State to resist Qin State." Said.

Ju Wu nodded and told the specific covenant items, and also told about the entry of the Yan army into Wei, hoping that the son-in-law could tell the king of Wei to let the border pass and let the Yan army enter Wei.The young master falsely nodded and agreed, and after the two said some specific things, Ju Wu left.

After sending Ju Wu away, the smile on the young master's fake face disappeared immediately.A figure came out from a side room.

"Mr. Zhang." The young master bowed respectfully.

It was Zhang Er who came, and Zhang Er pretended to return the gift to the young master.

"Young Master called me here this time, and let me hear about Wei Yan's covenant. It seems that you have already figured it out." Zhang Er said with a smile.

"A good bird chooses a tree to live in. The Wei State is already powerless to resist the Qin State. The Chu State cannot protect itself, the Zhao State is mourned, the Yan State is weak, and the Wei State has no power to recover. As an expression of my sincerity, the Yan army who entered Wei It's my meeting ceremony, I wonder if Mr. Zhang Er is satisfied?" the young master said with a smirk.

When Qin State began to attack Wei State, Zhang Er mobilized the retainers left by Lord Xinling, on the one hand, he cooperated with Qin Army to attack Wei State, and at the same time monitored whether Qin Army treated the people of Wei State as kindly as Ziyou promised. .After seeing that the Qin army did not infringe on the people at all, but instead punished a large number of dignitaries who endangered the people, Zhang Er no longer became suspicious.In order to end the war in Wei State as soon as possible, Zhang Er came to Daliang City alone, found Gongzijia, and persuaded him to surrender.

At the beginning, Gongzijia naturally did not agree, but after the news of the defeat of the Wei-Chu coalition came back, Gongzijia hesitated. After learning that An Guojun and Renzong's farm family were defeated, Gongzijia decided to surrender.To resist is to die, and to surrender is to save one's life, and to live a lifetime as a rich man in Xianyang like Han Wang'an, so there is no need to hesitate which one to choose.

"Young master's sincerity, I have naturally seen it, and my husband will appreciate your choice. I will go out of the city to see you tonight, and tell you my sincerity." Zhang Er said with his hands clasped.

"Then there will be Mr. Lao Zhang." The young master said with a smile.
