Great Qin Emperor

Chapter 158 Confusing the Enemy with the Unity of the World ([-])

Chapter 12 Confusing the Enemy ([-])

"Your Highness should know that among the princesses of the five kingdoms, Princess Zhao is the one who is most favored by the king. Do you know the reason behind this?" Zhou Chong was really good at talking, and actually gave him this as a reason to fool Yan Dan. .

In the past dynasties, the power of the harem has been great, and Yan Dan will not fail to understand this truth. When Zhou Chong said this, he widened his eyes and speculated: "Could it be related to Zhao Guo?"

It didn't matter at all, but Zhou Chong slammed his hands hard, and said in admiration: "Your Highness is wise! Exactly. You know that the king wants to destroy Han. After the king destroyed South Korea, the next target is Zhao Guo Zhao Guo was already very disturbed, so he sent the most beautiful and intelligent princess to Daqin to win the favor of the king. In fact, Zhao Guo planned to use the princess to win Qin's support. Support them to destroy Yan."

Gaining political bargaining chips through the harem is a routine way of wrestling between countries. Chu State was able to maintain its relationship with Qin State by relying on the power of the harem. How could Yan Dan doubt it, and his face paled in surprise: "Did your majesty ever agree?" ?”

"The first is the friendship between Gu Quan and His Highness, and the second is that Zhao Guo cannot be allowed to be strong, so he didn't agree. Zhao Guo put forward the condition that Du Kang should be given to Qin State, and three of every ten Yancheng cities would be given to Qin State." Zhou Chong used the benefits he got from King Zhao as bargaining chips, and put pressure on Yandan, saying: "Your Highness, you know that Dukang is the important place of Yan State, and even Yan State Jin dedicated it to Qin State. There are no marks on the map, so who can refuse such a benefit?"

This deal is so lucrative that Qin Guo has no reason to refuse. If the deal is really done, Yan Guo is 100% finished. Yan Dan's hands turned white, staring at Zhou Chong, his chest heaving sharply.

He was really not scared, Zhou Chong pretended not to see, and then continued, "Does your Highness know why Zhao Guo proposed such a generous condition? In the end, they are making small calculations. If Du Kang does not Return to Qin, but to Zhao, so that Zhao will become stronger immediately, this is something the king cannot tolerate. If Dukang belongs to Qin, plus other cities of Yan also belong to Qin, then Zhao Although it is much stronger, it still cannot pose a threat to Daqin, the king can tolerate it, Zhao Guo's intentions are sinister!" After speaking, he sighed endlessly.

As Zhou Chong said, these cities belonged to Qin State, and Zhao State got the other Yancheng, which was much stronger, but still could not pose a threat to Qin State. The country can only choose to tolerate it.

This is a very reasonable explanation, Yan Dan didn't dare not believe it, he gritted his teeth and asked word by word: "So, the king agreed to Zhao Guo's attack on Yan State?"

Zhou Chong blurted out an undeniable fact, saying: "No, how could Your Highness think so? Has Your Highness ever thought of why Zhao Guo planned this? To put it bluntly, Zhao Guo wanted to strengthen himself before Qin's soldiers overwhelmed the border. Possibly, if the city of Yan State is obtained, Zhao State will be able to attack enough and defend more than enough to fight against Da Qin, do you think the king will agree?"

Yan Dan breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Then why did your majesty detain Yan Dan?"

Zhou Chong smiled and said: "Your Highness is wrong. It is not the king who detains you, but the king who asks you to stay. Your Highness, please think, if the king does not keep His Highness, but allows His Highness to return to the country, before Daqin destroys South Korea , this is not to tell Zhao Guo that if Da Qin refuses to allow it, the relationship between Da Qin and Zhao Guo will become stagnant. This will not be good for me, Da Qin. Your Highness wants to govern the country, and there is a truth: don't fight the enemy before you have no strength Even though Han is young, he will drag Daqin's legs, and the king has no choice but to do it.

"Besides, leaving His Highness behind is also a warning to Zhao Guo, asking them not to mess around. As long as His Highness is in Qin, Zhao Guo will be restless. The reason is very simple. His Highness is not only a good friend with the king, but also in Qin State. You can negotiate good terms with Qin State at any time, and Yan Qin join forces, this is to deter Zhao State."

These words are not unreasonable, Yan Dan's complexion is much better, and he asked: "Mr. Zhou, there is still one thing unknown about Yan Dan, even so, why doesn't the king give Yan Dan freedom? He can't even get out of this house."

Putting you under house arrest can still allow you to move freely. In that case, it can still be called house arrest. It is better to call it rest, but Zhou Chong said: "Your Highness, this is the painstaking effort of the king. For one thing, Zhao Guo has many assassins in Xianyang. The king is worried that it will be bad for you. You know that I, Zhou Chong, have been assassinated several times, if the king is not shrewd and sent someone to guard Zhou Chong, Zhou Chong would have died a long time ago."

This is the truth, Yan Dan had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Zhou Chong listed the second reason: "Besides, the king also has to consider from the standpoint of Qin State. If Zhao State doesn't pretend to show it to Zhao State, can Zhao State be at ease? If Zhao State is not at ease, he will jump over the wall in a hurry and attack without Qin State. In the case of Yan State, Great Qin could not intervene when Han was destroyed. Therefore, the King has no choice but to treat His Highness."

These words made sense, Yan Dan said with self-reproach: "Yan Dan didn't understand the deep meaning of the king, and hated the king, it is really wrong. As long as the country of Yan is safe, it is nothing for Yan Dan to suffer."

Zhou Chong excused him, saying: "This is human nature, Your Highness doesn't have to take it to heart. Now, Zhao Guo is in a hurry to jump the wall. Regardless of Da Qin's objection, he started to attack Yan State, and he will not stop until Yan State is destroyed."

Yan Dan's pretty face just now turned pale again, and said: "Mr. Zhou, please save me Yan Guo."

"How to deal with the war between Yan and Zhao, the king has not yet decided, this is the reason why the king wants Zhou Chong to come to see His Highness." Zhou Chong once again concealed the purpose of the King of Qin, saying: "The ministers in the court are discussing a lot, and one faction thinks that it should be done immediately. Send troops to attack Zhao."

Yan Dan clenched his fists with both hands, and blurted out: "That's right! Zhao Guo is tyrannical, Daqin will never let Zhao Guo run amok."

Zhou Chong ignored him, and then continued, saying: "Your Highness's words are good, but this is not the way to seek the country. Those who seek the country should seek the best interests. It seems that the war between Yan and Zhao is not good for Daqin. They don't listen to Daqin's orders. In fact, it is of great benefit to Daqin and has no harm."

Yan Dan did not agree with Zhou Chong's opinion, and said: "Mr. Zhou's words are wrong. Zhao is strong and Yan is weak. Given time, Zhao will destroy Yan, and then Zhao will become stronger. If Qin does not intervene, the It’s too late to regret.”

Zhou Chong shook his head and said: "Your Highness's words are certainly reasonable, but that is a matter of the future. It is still uncertain whether Zhao Guo can destroy Yan Guo. Besides, Da Qin will not give him a chance. Wang Jian, Meng Wu and other seasoned people will invite Wang Jian Prepare to attack Zhao, but don't rush to send troops."

Yan Dan interrupted Zhou Chong and asked, "May I ask, Mr. Zhou, why?"

Zhou Chong laughed and said, "Wang Jian, Mengwu and the others are planning to take advantage of Zhao's deep penetration into the territory of Yan, to stretch the battle line to a long way, and then send troops to attack Zhao when the old soldiers are exhausted. This plan is based on Sun Bin's intention to encircle Wei and save Zhao. It only takes such a light blow." , you can destroy Zhao. The Yan city in Yandi used to be the city of Zhao State. It is a legitimate thing for Daqin to capture it and bring it into the territory. Why not do it?"

"Ah!" Yan Dan jumped up in shock at Zhou Chong's words.

What Zhou Chong said was exactly what his Tired Zhao's intention was, Yan Dan didn't expect it, there was a reason not to be frightened when he heard this at first glance.He wasn't paralyzed, which is good.

Dazed for a moment, Yan Dan calmed down and asked, "May I ask Mr. Zhou, what is the king planning to do?"

"You don't have to ask, the king's sages naturally adopted Wang Jianmengwu's strategy: prepare for battle quickly and attack slowly." Zhou Chong boasted for King Qin, saying: "The benefits are real, don't say With the shrewdness of the king, even I, Zhou Chong, have no reason to disapprove."

Yan Dan said anxiously: "This, this, this..."

Zhou Chong knew that he had scared Yan Dan enough, and it was time to take advantage of the heat, so he comforted Yan Dan and said: "Your Highness, don't panic. In fact, whether Yan can survive is not up to Qin, nor to Zhao, but to Yan Guo himself. Your Highness wants to ask Zhou Chong why he said this. The reason is obvious. The more Yan Guo resists Zhao, the more difficult it is for Zhao Guo to attack. It is also very simple to make Yan Guo tenaciously resist, as long as you get The support of Daqin, firstly, Zhao State must have scruples, and will deploy heavy troops on the western front, and the army to attack Yan will be weak, and secondly, the army and people of Yan State will fight bloody battles to the death."

"That's right, that's right!" Yan Dan almost sang, and asked, "Mr. Zhou, how can I get the support of Daqin?"

Zhou Chong helped him with an idea, saying: "Your Majesty is also troubled by this. You are in a hurry to send troops, but the generals object. If you are not in a hurry to send troops, I am sorry for your good friend. Your Majesty has to ask His Majesty how to deal with it." It's up to you."

Yan Dan understood Zhou Chong's meaning, that is, the King of Qin would agree to send troops immediately only if Yan State offered good enough conditions. After thinking about it, he said, "Ten cities."

Zhou Chong shook his head and said: "Your Highness also understands that as long as Wang Jian's suggestion is adopted, the Great Qin will gain the two countries with only a little effort, so why do you care about ten cities?"

This is the truth, everyone knows that this is impossible, Yan Dan added more chips and said: "Thirty cities."

Zhou Chong still shook his head, and said: "With the addition of Du Kang, the king may agree to send troops immediately."

"Mr. Zhou, you are too cruel." Yan Dan was a little angry.

Zhou Chong took some time off and said, "It's obvious who benefits from this city and the two countries. Your Highness probably doesn't know about it. Since His Highness thinks that Zhou Chong has bad intentions, then Zhou Chong will leave. Zhou Chong Chong has to go back to help the king plan to take over the two countries. There are many affairs and he is very busy. Please be considerate. Your highness, you can think about it slowly here. When you think about it, send it to the king quickly. It is possible that the king It’s feasting all the ministers in Jicheng.”

Clasping his hands together, he was about to leave, Yan Dan gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, Mr. Zhou, I promise you. However, this is a big matter, and I want Yan Dan to tell my father about it when I return home."

He wanted to take the opportunity to escape, Zhou Chong hit him again, and said: "Your Highness wrote a book explaining how to survive the danger, and the king will send someone to send it to you. As for when His Highness will return to the country, it depends on the time of King Yan." Give me the city of Daqin. Also, if Daqin wants to send troops, it must be justified. If King Yan asks Daqin to send troops, this matter will be easier to handle. Zhou Chong's words are not reliable, His Royal Highness has heard it, no need Take it to heart."

This is a well-thought-out statement, not a one-shot statement, Yan Dan bit his lips to bleed, and said: "Okay, I agree, I completely agree!"

"Naive!" Zhou Chong commented on Yan Dan in his heart, said his farewell, and walked away.
