Chapter 186 The Battle of Yan Kingdom

Yan State, Jidu.

The King of Yan sat upright on the throne with a little restless face: "What's going on in the war now?"

Prime Minister Guo Wei replied: "General Qin Kai led his army south, and he must have entered the territory of Qi at this moment. He will meet with the Qi army soon."

Yes, Guo Wei used a word here, that is - meeting!

The King of Yan was somewhat worried and said, "But... since Bai Qi was able to defeat Taoyi, and his master's father led his army south personally, it shows that Zhao Qin was doing his best in this battle against Qi. I am really worried."

Yan State made an unexpected decision in this war, that is, it did not join the side of the four-nation alliance, but instead asked Qin Kai to lead an army of 80,000 to go south to help Qi fight!

At present, the unfavorable war in Qi State undoubtedly made the King of Yan a little worried.

Could it be that the Qi Kingdom, which has dominated the world for three generations and decades, has really reached the moment when its hegemony collapses?

If this happens, wouldn’t Yan State bet the wrong bet?

The King of Yan took a deep breath and turned his eyes to Zou Yan, the Shangqing of Yan State, not far away: "Zou Qing, tell me your opinion."

Zou Yan, who was originally closing his eyes to rest, slowly opened his eyes and said slowly: "Your Majesty is a little restless. I have observed the celestial phenomena at night yesterday. Although the hegemony of Qi is in danger, there are also generals and stars who help. Although there is a risk of defeat, there is no sign of decline."

Zou Yan's words obviously relieved the King of Yan a lot and he was obviously relieved.

However, Zou Yan's words continued: "But, this celestial phenomenon has changed at any time. The key to the current war is not the Central Plains, but... the south!"

"Southern?" King Yan frowned and after a while, he said, "Is it the State of Chu?"

Zou Yan nodded slowly.

The King of Yan snorted softly and said, "The State of Chu has been beaten to death by the Qin people. Is it really so critical?"

Zou Yan did not continue speaking.

Guo Wei coughed and said, "My king, I think Zou Qing's views are not unreasonable. Now the four countries are in a fierce attack on Qi. Even though Qi is helping Da Yan, it may not be victorious. If Chu sends troops, it will fight against the four countries with the power of the three countries, and the situation will be greatly improved."

Yaqing frowned and after a while, he said: "King, in fact, from the perspective of the ministers, now that the princes' attack on Qi has been achieved, and the Qi army seems to be incapable of resisting it, why didn't Da Yan go with the flow and directly help the coalition forces attack Qi? Is the only ten cities returned by Qi enough to buy the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers in Da Yan?"

Judging from the expression on Ju Xin's face, it was obvious that these words had been in his heart for a long time.

Guo Wei shook his head and retorted: "Juqing's words are wrong. The State of Qi is the overlord of the world. Even if he is defeated by the princes, he will only spit out the three counties of Song. However, with the size of Qi, there will be no major consequences without the three counties. If Da Yan helps the princes this time, what are the benefits of arousing the anger of the King of Qi and becoming the target of revenge for Qi in the future?"

Ju Xin retorted: "I cannot agree with this statement from Xiang Guo! Yan and Zhao have been allies for decades. Will the State of Qi come to attack and Zhao come to rescue him?"

Guo Wei's face darkened and said, "Four years ago, Qi attacked Yan and destroyed our 100,000 troops in Da Yan. Why didn't Zhao come to rescue him? Now that he can harvest ten cities for nothing, he can also make friends with the overlord Qi as an ally, how can he not do it!"

Ju Xin also raised his tone: "Who recommended Qi Sheng as the main general at the beginning, and made a series of tricks in front of the formation, resulting in the 100,000 elite soldiers of my Dayan?"

The two of them glared at each other, and it was natural that they had another quarrel.

"Okay, OK!" King Yan interrupted the argument with some headache: "It's all for Da Yan, why bother so tense?"

Guo Wei and Ju Xin then stopped quarreling, took a look, and then turned their heads in discomfort.

It’s just like this when we see each other.

The King of Yan sighed and said, "Hasn't it been said? If the Qi army showed a defeated prime minister this time, then let Qin Kai lead his army to rebel in the face of the battle. Juqing, this is a plan for me to discuss with the ministers. Why do you have to force Xiang Guo so much?"

Ju Xin shook his head and said, "I strongly opposed this plan that day, and it is the same today. Please think that Da Yan and Qi are enemies, but now they violate the alliance with Zhao for a few ten cities, so how do you think of the princes in the world? Take a step back and say that even if General Qin Kai really leads his army to suddenly turn against the battlefield, so that the princes of the princes will win? If this is the case, wouldn't Da Yan bear the name of betraying his ally? Since he supports Qi now, he should always stand with Qi. Even if Qi is defeated, then Da Yan will lose one game? How can he turn against him in the face of the battle? Anyone who establishes a country should value faith! If Da Yan repeatedly fails to maintain his faith, how can he win the trust of the princes in the world in the future?"

Ju Xin's voice was extremely loud and resounded throughout the hall, which showed how excited the Yan State Yaqing was at this moment.

Guo Wei's face became more and more gloomy. Although he knew that the King of Yan was not happy, he still retorted: "Just! Although Da Yan is one of the seven major warring countries, you and I know in your heart that the national strength of Da Yan is the last among the seven countries! If this strategy is not implemented, how can we ensure that Da Yan will definitely benefit?"

Ju Xin said angrily: "How can there be a certain profit in this world? You persuade the king with such a plan, thinking that he has the plan, but you don't know that from then on, Da Yan will no longer be a ally among the princes!"

Guo Wei also said angrily: "So what if you bear the alliance? The King of Qin has never betrayed the alliance? Master Zhao has never betrayed the alliance? Why is Qin and Zhao so powerful now that they can even challenge the overlord status of Qi!"

"Enough!" The King of Yan finally couldn't help but pat on the table and shouted: "Shut up to me!"

The voice of the King of Yan even overshadowed the quarrel between the two, which showed how angry the King of Yan was.

King Yan glanced at Guo Wei and felt a little unhappy.

Although Guo Wei came up with a plan that seemed to be able to make the Yan State have a good time, it also caused the important officials of Yan State to be clearly divided into two factions. Over the past few days, Guo Wei and Ju Xin had quarrels broke out over this war.

King Yan took a deep breath and said, "Enough, this plan was decided by me. I don't think there is any need to change it now! Just do it as it is. Juqing, do you understand what I mean?"

Ju Xin was silent for a long time, and finally said in a depressed voice: "I understand."

King Yan was also helpless when he looked at the unhappy Drama Sin.

I have to say a thousand words, but it is because Yan State is not strong enough.

Don’t the King of Yan know the disadvantages brought by this strategy of both the head and the rat?

Of course he knew.

But the problem lies in the current situation of Yan State.

The countdown among the seven countries may be just a little better than South Korea!

Although the country is so vast, how many people in Liaodong that have just been captured are actually there? Aren’t they all still in the Dukang land?

The State of Qi can withstand failures again and again, can the State of Yan do it?

Yan State can’t even bear a failure!

Therefore, Yan State cannot lose, and it cannot usher in revenge from the overlord Qi State.

If possible, the King of Yan certainly hopes to destroy Qi in one fell swoop, but...is that possible?

Although Su Qin was so confident, and even though the four-national coalition forces were so powerful, it was actually impossible to do it!

You are Xin, Su Qin is for the sake of Yan State, isn’t that the only one?

The King of Yan suddenly felt extremely irritable and exhausted in his heart, and waved helplessly: "Okay, today's discussion will end here, let's disperse it for me!"

Everyone dispersed.

When they walked to the palace gate, Ju Xin and Guo Wei looked at each other again, and at the same time, they snorted heavily, cursing in their hearts.

"Ignorance and foolish man!"

"Silly old thief!"

...

Ju Xin walked down the palace unhappily and was suddenly stopped. When he looked back, he found that it was Shangqing Zou Yan.

Ju Xinqiang suppressed his anger and bowed, "I wonder what Zou Qing is doing?"

Zou Yan still had a calm expression. He looked at Ju Xin and suddenly smiled: "There are a few dancers coming to my house today. I wonder if Ju Qing is interested in following me back to my house to watch?"

Ju Xin was very upset at this time, so he had no intention of thinking about any beauty? He was about to refuse, but suddenly he felt a little moved in his heart, but he did not refuse, and he got on the carriage with Zou Yan.

More than half an hour later, the two sat opposite each other in Zou Yan's study.

There was no delicacy for dancers, but Ju Xin obviously didn't seem surprised: "What exactly did Zou Qing want to say?"

Zou Yan still had the same demeanor as a paradise. After being silent for a long time, he spoke: "Juqing, do you know that Da Yan actually has a spy buried in Qi State."

Ju Xin was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

It is not surprising that people engage in spy wars to collect intelligence from each other these days.

Zou Yan asked again: "Do you know the identity of this spy?"

Ju Xin shook his head.

Zou Yan said: "You don't know, but I know."

Ju Xin was not surprised. After all, the Shangqing in front of him was a king. It was normal to understand some secrets that others didn’t know.

Zou Yan whispered: "This spy... has indeed made great contributions to Yan State. I won't hide it from you. If this spy hadn't been actively running, the alliance against Qi might not have been able to succeed!"

Ju Xin showed a look of surprise on his face: "Who is this person...?"

Zou Yan was silent.

After a long time, Zou Yancai said: "I can only tell you that the king... has actually become suspicious of this person."

Ju Xin's body was shocked: "Why?"

You should know that in such a dead time, people who are trusted and loyal in their lives will do such things and should not be suspected.

Zou Yan sighed and said, "Because the king suddenly discovered that this person... seemed to have collusion with Zhao State!"

"What?" Ju Xin was surprised again: "This..."

Zou Yan waved his hand and said, "So, this matter is not as simple as you imagined. The pressure on the king is not lighter than anyone else! Well, I will say so, you can go."
