The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 482 Insects, Insects

Yan Chunjun also keenly discovered that the Qi army's shouting was not strong enough, and informed Yan Dan of this.

Yan Dan keenly realized that in order to resolve the current difficulty, they had to proceed step by step. The first step was to persuade Qi to retreat. Without Qi, the Zhao army would have no military advantage.

It is reported that Le Cheng and Li Mu have always been at odds with each other, and he has been trying to sow discord between the two. If the leading general is at odds with them, it will be difficult for him to advance!
After Zhao State took the opportunity to attack Yan State, the news quickly spread to all the countries. King You of Chu was so angry that his nose was crooked. Great, Zhao State is really awesome!

As soon as everyone sat down at the table, you secretly started eating, and you were eating with your own people!

Didn't we agree to attack Qi and Wei? You directly dragged Qi to attack Yan!

King Jingmin of Wei also sneered, "Hmph, I knew you guys are unreliable."

I've known for a long time that you wanted to use the name of the alliance to strengthen yourselves, and I can't help it before it officially starts.

Ying Zheng had long known about the Zhao-Qi alliance to attack Yan. He was the one who planned it, so how could he not know?

Now is the time to leave.

After receiving the news that Wusui had been captured, King Zhao Daoxiang jumped up and said, "Great!"

He immediately sent envoys to the two countries of Chu and Wei.

Yan will certainly ask Qin for help, and Qin will certainly support it. Wang Jian has a large army in Puyang, which can attack Zhao in a few days. If Zhao wants to hold on to its victory, it must ask for help.

Although King Zhao Daoxiang knew that the Chu and Wei states must be dissatisfied, they had already formed an alliance, so as long as they were willing to pay a price, he would ask them to help fight the rebellion.

King Zhao Daoxiang sent envoys with a large sum of money to lobby the two countries. Although the two countries did not directly refuse, they did not agree either, and their intention to wait for a better price was very clear.

King Zhao Daoxiang was about to send another envoy when Yao Jia volunteered. King Zhao Daoxiang was overjoyed and agreed immediately.

Yao Jia first went to Wei, joined forces with Wei Yong, and advised King Jingmin of Wei that as long as Wei and Chu helped Zhao resist Qin, after attacking Yan, they would cooperate with the two countries to attack Qi, and all the gains of Zhao would belong to Wei and Chu.

And there is no need for Wei to really go to war with Qin, it just needs to stop Qin.

King Jingmin of Wei hesitated.

Yao Jia went to Chu without stopping and said that as long as Chu sent troops to stop Qin, if Chu attacked Wei, Zhao would also help Chu to stop Qin.

Or if Chu had the chance to attack Qi later, Zhao would also lend a helping hand, and all the spoils would belong to Chu without Zhao taking a penny.

King You of Chu was also hesitant. This kind of blank check might not be reliable.

At this time, Yao Jia said that in order to show his sincerity in forming an alliance, King Zhao Daoxiang could be the leader of the alliance and invite Li Yuan, the prime minister of Chu, to be the chief person in charge.

In this way, the two countries are bound together by friendship.

King You of Chu was overjoyed. This was indeed a good thing. Since Zhao was willing to take the lead, why not do it?

Although the alliance was proposed by Zhao, it was the joint efforts of Zhao and Chu that made it possible. The alliance will be announced to the world one day.

Whoever is the leader of the alliance will face most of the wrath of Qin. Zhao is now standing in front of Qin, so it is best for Zhao to be the leader of the alliance.

Anyway, King You of Chu did not dare to be the leader of the alliance. He knew very well how much his father had suffered in the past few years because of this.

Now King Zhao Daoxiang is willing to take the blame himself, which is really a good thing. Moreover, letting the Prime Minister of Chu be the actual person in charge can indeed show the sincerity of Zhao.

However, King You of Chu asked Zhao to announce the alliance first. Only when it became a fait accompli would Chu send troops to help stop Qin.

Yao Jia agreed readily.

Yao Jia then rushed to the State of Wei without stopping, and continued to persuade King Jingmin of Wei that the alliance had been formed and war would come sooner or later, and that if he hesitated, he would suffer losses on both sides.

Then Yao Jia mentioned that King Zhao Daoxiang was the leader of the coalition and Li Yuan was the chief person in charge, indicating that the State of Chu was willing to send troops to help. Only then did King Jingmin of Wei feel relieved and agreed to send troops to help.

Then Yao Jia hurried back to Zhao to report. King Zhao Daoxiang was well prepared and sighed deeply, thinking that if you want something, you have to pay for it.

It was then announced to the world that the four countries of Zhao, Chu, Wei and Qi formed a coalition to fight against the chaos in the world!

The King of Zhao was the leader of the alliance, and Li Yuan, the prime minister of Chu, was the chief officer.

Sent envoys to all directions to issue proclamations.

Although it was not directly stated that they were uniting to resist Qin, there were only seven countries in the world, excluding the insignificant Han and the Yan State that was being attacked. Who were they resisting? It was clear at a glance.

King Jingmin of Wei took action only after seeing that the two big leaders had already come forward, but he was also very cautious. He only ordered Wei Zhao to lead 80,000 troops and station them on the border between the two countries, pretending to attack Puyang in order to intimidate Wang Jian.

King You of Chu was the same. He did not dare to fight for real, but just pretended to help. He ordered Xiang Yan to lead an army of 100,000 and pretend to attack Wuyang and Pingyu.

The main reason was that Chu and Wei felt that the Qin army was now attacking the Western Regions and would not go to war with the three kingdoms for a while, so they should just be in a standoff.

If Qin really uses force, then we won't fight. Everything is just a misunderstanding.

All kinds of urgent news reached Xianyang, and the civil and military officials were excited. They were finally going to fight, and the opportunity to make meritorious deeds was finally coming. Do you know how they spent the past year without any military action? They were extremely anxious.

The Marquis has been waving to everyone, but there has never been a chance to go further. Now the opportunity has come.

Do you know how powerful the Qin is now? We have long wanted to overthrow you. If it were not for the king's kindness and unwillingness to start an unjust war, you would have been crushed long ago.

The court was filled with the desire to fight, but Ying Zheng was not in a hurry. He was a chess player, and his own chess pieces had their own interests.

But as a chess player, you have to consider the overall interests.

Ying Zheng has always been troubled by one thing, that is, he has built up too good a reputation in this life, and now he feels embarrassed when he wants to hit others.

So he needed a reason. It was easy to find a high-sounding reason to annex the world, but if he wanted to directly attack other countries, he would need them to give an excuse.

If the excuse was really that a Qin soldier got lost in your country, even Ying Zheng would feel a little embarrassed.

Just when Ying Zheng was struggling to find the reason, or how to create it, Yao Jia came up with an assist.

This dragon among men, a hero of the time, keenly sensed the momentum of the Qin Dynasty sweeping the world and had long wanted to surrender to the Qin Dynasty.

However, he knew very well that he was born in a humble family and had entered Qin without any merit, so how could he hold a high position?

He had traveled to various countries for many years and was well aware of the contradictions among them. He had a clear view of the world situation, so he wanted to first invest in Zhao State, unite the various countries, stir up internal strife, and use this great achievement to enter Qin State.

On the night when he went to look for Guo Kai, he risked his life to find Shi Wei first. Shi Wei was the secret guard sent by Ying Zheng to protect (monitor) Guo Kai. When Shi Wei revealed that Guo Kai was working for the Qin Dynasty, he almost died.

But the second sentence made Shi Wei put away his sword.

Yao Jia remained calm when Shi Wei was about to cut his neck, and said softly: "I came here to help the King of Qin unify the world."

Yao Jia easily convinced Shi Wei, and then under Shi Wei's leadership, he found Guo Kai. Guo Kai was shocked at first, but after a deep conversation, Yao Jia easily convinced Guo Kai, which led to what happened later.

After Ying Zheng received Shi Wei's urgent letter, he was immediately overjoyed. It was like a pillow when he was sleepy.

I'm just worried about not being able to find an excuse. If the countries form an alliance again, then no matter who the Qin declares war on or which country it attacks or annexes, it will no longer be able to say anything.

What's more, it can also provoke civil strife among the countries and consume their national strength once again. Why not do it?
In fact, Ying Zheng had repeatedly stirred up trouble in the world over the years, and had already made the various countries suffer from extreme pain, heavy losses, and exhausted national strength. It would be very difficult to provoke them to fight again.

It’s not that the countries don’t want to fight, but they really don’t have the ability anymore.

But the truly great talents in this world never have the chance to create opportunities, and Yao Jia is one of those people.

No matter how weak the countries are, as long as they are willing to work hard, they can still be squeezed.

Ying Zheng acted decisively and gave Yao Jia strong support, granting him the authority to mobilize some secret guards from various countries, and revealed some information to Yao Jia so that he could act more easily.

At the same time, he also told him some information about Wei Yong of Wei and Hou Sheng of Qi.

In his personal letter, Ying Zheng praised him highly and promised him high positions and titles.

As expected, Yao Jia did not disappoint Ying Zheng. He maneuvered among the five countries with ease and once again instigated a war between Zhao, Qi and Yan. Chu and Wei also joined in and announced an alliance together.

Although King Zhao Daoxiang was still a little scared and did not directly resist Qin, the development of the situation to this point provided him with enough reasons.

However, Ying Zheng felt that there was no need to rush.

Chu, Wei and Qi can fight again, and they can gain the upper hand again.

Ying Zheng, who had already received Yan's request for help and felt that the situation was almost right, ordered Wang Jian to attack Zhao appropriately to deter Zhao from withdrawing its troops.

At the same time, he ordered Yang Duanhe and Zhang Tang to lead 30,000 troops respectively to intimidate the Wei and Chu countries.

Don't think you can act recklessly just because the army that invaded the Western Regions hasn't returned!
However, Ying Zheng strictly ordered them not to start a war and to create an atmosphere of fear, while at the same time suppressing the boiling voices in the court requesting war.

Sure enough, after Ying Zheng sent out the army, King Jingmin of Wei immediately remembered the fear of being dominated by the Qin State. Under the instigation of Yao Jia's eloquent speech and Wei Yong's righteousness, the little bit of tough resistance that arose in his heart immediately disappeared.

It's not like they're really going to go to war with Qin just for Zhao, right?

Although it seems that Qin is indeed short of troops at present, with only 30,000 reinforcements sent to Guiling and Puyang, if Qin is angered, the number of reinforcements may reach 300,000.

The same thing happened on the Chu side. King You of Chu also remembered the strength of the Qin army the year before, and strictly ordered Xiang Yan not to take the initiative to attack, not to provoke Qin, and not to initiate a war!
King Zhao Daoxiang saw Wang Jian slowly attacking Pingyang, and the states of Chu and Wei were intimidated by the Qin army and did not dare to go to war at all, and he sighed in his heart.

Insects, oh insects, what a bunch of insects! It has nothing to do with their interests, they really don't want to contribute at all!
King Zhao Daoxiang had no choice but to send an urgent letter to Le Cheng to ask for help.

The countries have just announced an alliance, and Zhao will be the first to be affected. The King of Qin must be furious, so we must not be careless.
