The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 343: Going to Qin Again
Yan Dan was made the chief envoy, but the actual leader of the matter was the deputy envoy, who just borrowed his name. To put it bluntly, he was taking advantage of his relationship with the King of Qin.

Yan Dan had to comfort himself, don't panic, it's not a big problem, as long as the deal is done, outsiders won't know about it, and he can still gain reputation.

I am familiar with Qin State, and I am the only one who can talk to the King of Qin. When I really arrive in Qin State, won’t I have the final say?

Well, not really.

Yan Dan made a mistake.

Because the deputy envoy sent by King Xi of Yan this time was Jiang Qu.

Yan Dan was immediately annoyed. It turned out that the old ones were the wisest. The man sent by King Xi of Yan had a very high reputation.

If he goes with me, then he will definitely be the one who gets the fame, not me. At least the bulk of the profits will go to him.

Jiang Qu was already quite old. Although he had served as the prime minister of the State of Yan, it was for a very short time. After he rescued the State of Yan, he was put on ice by the narrow-minded King Xi of Yan.

After all, in the eyes of King Xi of Yan, as long as Qu was still in the court, he would be showing his stupidity and immorality every day.

He was right to think so.

Because that's what it is.

But this time, in order to ensure the success of the alliance and restrict Yan Dan, King Xi of Yan actually invited him out again.

Jiang Qu was a truly morally noble person. He was loyal to the emperor and patriotic, abided by faith and was upright. Even though he had been neglected for so many years, he still resolutely came out of retirement when King Xi of Yan sent people to invite him.

The land of Yan and Zhao has been home to many generous and tragic people since ancient times.

The State of Zhao was surrounded by enemies on all sides, and the people were all brave enough to fight and act.

How could there not be one in Yan State?
The State of Yan was located in an even more bitter and cold place, and this land was not short of tenacious and righteous men, but in the corrupt State of Yan, they had no chance to stand out.

These nobles have locked out all upward mobility and are completely rotten.

Even if there are some patriots with noble sentiments among the nobles, how many of them can there be?

Especially, the current king of Yan State is still such a king.

Jiang Qu can see the current situation of Yan State clearly, but what can he do?

He admitted that he was not a man of great talent, so he could only do what he could.

Do whatever you can.

I'm just an old man, the worst that can happen to me is death.

The late winter snowstorm had not yet stopped, but the envoys from the State of Yan had already set out on their journey.

In any case, this time we must provoke Qin to take action. If Yan is attacked by Zhao twice more, it will be completely destroyed.

This time, King Xi of Yan thought carefully and still felt that the relationship with the State of Qin was not close enough. As for the relationship between his son and the King of Qin, it was not good enough at all. King Xi of Yan saw this very clearly.

Secondly, if it were really good, it wouldn’t be very good.

So he secretly instructed the general to observe the style of the King of Qin in secret. If possible, the Yan State could also marry its princess to the Qin State for an alliance.

Compared with the relationship with the King of Qin, I, the King of Yan, have a closer relationship with him, which is better.

Before Yan Dan arrived in Daqin, Ying Zheng had already received the news.

After all, even people in Zhao knew that they should maintain good relations with Qin, so how could there be people in Yan who didn't know this?
These nobles of Yan State may not be able to do other things, but they are very professional in changing with the wind and making multiple bets. Those who don’t understand this would have no way of surviving in Yan State until now, and would have long been lost in the small waves of history.

Even if Yan State did not come, Ying Zheng also planned to send envoys to Yan State. Today's Yan State was too weak, and Qin had to give it a hand. It would not be a good thing if Zhao State had a stable rear.

The strategy of making friends with distant countries and attacking nearby ones still needs to be implemented. It is better for more people from Yan and Qi to die and consume Wei and Zhao than for Qin to lose people.

Ying Zheng was not in a hurry to send people because there was no need to rush. It was Yan State that should be in a hurry. In any case, the initiative was in the hands of Qin State.

This is the confidence of a strong country.

When it comes to alliances, whoever speaks first loses. The party that asks for help always has to pay a higher price or give up more benefits.

Unfortunately, the weaker party often does not have enough strength and determination to persevere to the end.

Therefore, the country that laughs the loudest is always the Qin State.

Ying Zheng has already made plans for this year. He has gained too much in recent years and needs to digest it carefully. He does not need to capture too many cities.

If the damage is not properly digested, it will only leave behind major hidden dangers.

But we can't let them sit idle, nor can we give the countries a chance to recuperate.

The only thing we can do is to provoke them to fight each other. The harder they fight, the better. Anyway, the situation in the world is already on the verge of breaking out. With a little instigation, they will start fighting on their own.

They are still the most anxious. The Qin Dynasty is becoming more and more powerful. If they do not speed up the pace of annexation and strengthen themselves, they will be unable to resist the encroachment of the Qin Dynasty.

This year, Qin State will take action personally. It only needs to use a little effort to pull Yan State, attack Zhao State, and then attack Wei State, completely cutting off the connection between Wei and Zhao and allowing Qin State to border Qi State.

The situation of Qi State is not optimistic either, and it is time to give Qi State some support. Qi State is rich, and it is always providing blood support to Zhao, Wei, and Chu. This is not good.

After the two countries were connected, they could not only do business with Qi better, but also provide appropriate support to Qi.

Although this year has just begun, it is already obvious that another year of winning is coming. When Yan Dan finally came to Xianyang again in the snow and wind.

Looking at Xianyang City from afar, in the heavy snow, it looks like a black and white dragon, hovering in this world covered in silver, quietly staring at its prey in Guandong.

Yan Dan couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Although he remained expressionless on the surface, he couldn't help but feel a sense of threat and urgency rising in his heart.

Jiang Qu also had a worried look on his face, his thick gray eyebrows were tightly furrowed.

Such a powerful Qin State will sooner or later swallow up the world. It is the most powerful enemy and the biggest threat.

However, the State of Yan actually wanted to cooperate with such a powerful enemy, a powerful enemy destined to be in the future. This was truly courting disaster.

However, Yan State had no other choice, because if Yan State could not get help from Qin State, Zhao State would have destroyed Yan State before Qin State annexed it.

Oh, God! Why are you so cruel to Yan?
Jiang Qu was born during the reign of King Zhao of Yan, which was the most powerful and prosperous period of the Yan State, and the entire Yan State was in high spirits.

However, since Jiang Qu became an adult, the State of Yan has been on a downward spiral.

Jiang Qu's steps became heavier and heavier, but he could only walk into Xianyang city step by step.

It’s like walking into Dragon’s Mouth.

Ying Zheng still received them warmly and gave them treatment that matched their status, even more warmly and generously.

Yan Dan sighed inwardly, no matter what, no matter what he was thinking, his good brother at least gave him enough face.

When the two met, they were both very enthusiastic and were overjoyed to see each other again after a long separation.

Then Yan Dan again used emotion to discuss matters, without wanting to sacrifice any interests at all, and just talked a lot about the importance of friendship and alliance between the two countries.

Ying Zheng only talked about feelings and not business, and how much he missed her. He didn't even touch on business.

Ying Zheng sneered in his heart. He dared to play hard to get in front of me, not only refusing to give up his interests, but also wanting to form an alliance directly.

Where do you get such a big face?
Ying Zheng was not in a hurry to agree to the alliance with Yan State. No rush, just leave them alone for now.

Let’s see who can outlast whom and who will collapse first.

This made Yan Dan and Jiang Qu really anxious. Although they were treated with great courtesy in the Qin State and their lives were really comfortable, it was all useless as they couldn't get anything done.

After half a month without any accurate information, Jiang Qu had no choice but to tell Yan Dan the bottom line of the negotiations.

King Xi of Yan stated that as long as Qin could help Yan regain the more than 40 cities it had lost and now in the hands of Zhao, the dozen cities that were previously Qin's spoils of war could all be given to Qin.

In order to show the sincerity of this alliance, the State of Yan is willing to marry its princess to the King of Qin!

Yan Dan had no idea about allocating the cities to Qin. At the moment, it was like getting something for nothing. If he could take them back, it wouldn't matter even if he allocated them to Qin first.

Yan Dan was really angry about the marriage.

It's not that I feel ashamed or anything.

The main reason was that his father was too ruthless and his relationship with the King of Qin gave him great political prestige and political capital, and it also enabled him to maintain good relations with the Qin State.

The result is this trick.

I have been a hostage in a foreign country since I was young, and I am not familiar with my brothers and sisters, and I don’t have much affection for them.

The only person who is suitable for marriage with the King of Qin is his half-sister, with whom he has almost no feelings. This sister is naturally closer to his father.

With this move now, my importance in the relationship between Yan and Qin will be greatly reduced.

But no matter how angry Yan Dan was, he had no choice but to accept it.

After Yan Dan and Jiang Qu separated, he hid in his room and drank alone.

Just at this moment, someone knocked on the door.

"Who?"

"Your Highness, it's me."

A quite attractive male voice sounded.

Yan Dan calmed down, put on a fake smile, and went to open the door: "It's Mr. Xiangjun, please come in, I'm drinking and lonely, you're just right, come and stay with me."

The person who came was Xiang Jun.

He is still relatively young and hasn't even grown a beard, but he is even more handsome and unrestrained. He has never experienced a broken heart and has no melancholy temperament. At this moment, Xiang Jun is full of confidence.

There was no one left to be sent from the Yin-Yang School in Chu, so they had to send Xiang Jun. Chu Yin-Yang and Chu Mo were incompatible, so Xiang Jun originally had no chance.

But smart people always create opportunities for themselves.

Xiang Jun knew very well that if he went directly to join Yan Dan, regardless of whether Yan Dan would believe him or want to accept him, Yan Dan would never accept him because of Chu Mo.

If Yan Dan dares to accept him, does he still want Chu Mo's support?
So Xiang Jun went directly to join King Xi of Yan.
