Chapter 284 Han Wang is angry, Yan Wang is shocked

Daliang, Xue Gong’s Mansion.

Mengchangjun sat on the top of the head. Listening to the words of Su Dai, a great disciple of Zhao State, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a serious expression.

Mengchangjun sighed and said, "Doctor Su, it's not that I am not doing anything, but this request from your king... is not easy to deal with."

Su Dai sat in the first guest seat, and his smile remained unchanged when he heard this: "I don't know how Mr. Xue is a difficult method, so why not tell me that Mr. Su Dai will be the assistant to Mr. Xue to find out one or two."

Mengchangjun said: "It is true that Zhao State is the leader of the Three Jins now. As an ally, I, Dawei, should help South Korea, also true. But to be honest, if the envoy asked me to convince the king, then he would have really found the wrong person. The king today is no longer the king of the past."

Mengchangjun said something a little confused, and Su Dai felt a little confused at first.

But Su Dai was a professional in this industry after all, and now he is a relatively famous straitor in China. He soon came back to his senses: "Mr. Xue's meaning is that King Wei was deceived by a traitor and became afraid of Mr. Xue?"

Mengchangjun touched his beard and sighed, "That's true. The family and country are unfortunate, and the family and country are unfortunate! But those little ones are still among the princes and are close relatives with the king. This marquis is helpless and helpless. Also, in the battle against Chu last year, the Wei Dynasty originally planned to take Chencheng, but in the end it was not taken, so he had to withdraw the troops and negotiate peace with Chu? The king seemed to have calculated this to this marquis. Look, this marquis is really difficult now."

Su Dai understood completely.

Mengchangjun finally began to be afraid and backfired by the King of Wei because of his excessive power.

Zhao State had actually foresaw this. After all, Mengchangjun's fiefdom was nominally the territory of Wei State, but in fact it was his own private kingdom. The fiefdom was nothing when he was young, but it was different after several wars gradually grew.

According to the Zhao State Intelligence Department, an army of more than 10,000 people can be raised in Mengchangjun's fiefdom.

Under the current international situation, the only one of Mengchangjun can easily pull up a minister who is completely loyal to his army among the six Warring States countries.

It is reasonable that the King of Wei relied on the public clan to seize power from Mengchangjun.

Thinking of this, Su Dai couldn't help but curse Mengchangjun in his heart.

If we weren't for our Da Zhao's support, the King of Wei might have turned his back and killed you in this Daliang City. Now that you are asking you to do something for our Da Zhao, are you still putting on airs?

No wonder the king said that Mengchangjun was a man who pursued fame and profit without righteousness. Now it seems that the king's analysis of this person's personality is so meticulous.

Despite his slander, Su Dai still squeezed out a smile on his face: "Mr. Xue's words are heavy. Everyone has obvious to everyone. How can a little bit of slut can affect Xue's status? Even if the King of Wei has some harsh words and slander, our Da Zhao has always been on Xue's side. By the way, there is a saying that goes, I wonder if Mr. Xue is interested in the new fiefdom?"

"Oh?" Meng Changjun's eyes lit up and he suddenly became excited: "Doctor Su, tell me carefully?"

Su Dai blinked his eyes and showed a smile: "To the east of Wei State, isn't there a small country called Lu State? Now Lu State has only two neighboring countries, one is our Da Zhao, and the other is Wei State. I believe Mr. Xue should understand Su's meaning very well?"

Mengchangjun slapped his thigh and was righteous: "Doctor Su doesn't need to say much. I, Tian Wen, have been favored by King Zhao many times. If I know my kindness is not rewarded, what do the people in the world think of me, Tian Wen in the future? When Doctor Su meets the king tomorrow, I will definitely argue for you and let the king send 100,000 troops to rescue South Korea!"

Xinzheng, palace city.

With a sound, a bronze cup was directly hit by the King of Han, and he turned several times before stopping.

Looking at the messenger kneeling in front of him, King Han said coldly: "This is what you call reinforcements, 20,000 cavalrymen heading south from the Beidi County of Zhao State? Tell me, what is the use of these 20,000 cavalrymen to defend Yiyang by Dahan?"

King Han was so angry.

At the beginning, King Han was quite happy when he heard that King Zhao agreed to send troops to aid.

After all, Zhao is the most powerful country in the world. As long as Zhao sends troops, it will definitely be fine to repel the Qin people.

In this case, although the fact that Han betrayed Qin State was a bit unauthorized, it was still quite worth it in general. It seems that it would be impossible to continue to spend some time with Zhao State in the future.

But these 20,000 cavalry reinforcements...

It's too perfunctory, right?

King Han took several deep breaths in a row before his anger did not burst out even more violently.

"Forget it, there are still 100,000 troops from Wei, so the guard should still be able to defend it. Send orders to add recruitment from the border, and this time you must defend Yiyang no matter what!"

King Han gritted his teeth when he spoke, and obviously made up his mind.

Yiyang is too important for South Korea. It would be fine if there was no chance to get it back before. Since they have been brought back now, even if they know they were fooled by the people of Zhao, the King of Han would never be able to hand Yiyang over to Qin again.

After all the ministers left, the coldness on King Han's face remained unabated, and he snorted heavily: "Hey, King Zhao... I will remember it!"

Jidu, palace city.

Su Qin came to the hall and met the King of Yan, Guo Wei, Zou Yan, Qin Kai and other important officials of Yan State.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, the King of Yan then had a gloomy face and said, "You are the one who has just received the news that King Zhao ordered Le Yi to be the chief general and sent 150,000 troops north to attack our Da Yan! The people of Zhao are extremely vicious. How should you resist the Da Yan?"

The face of King Yan was extremely difficult to see.

I originally thought that the compensation for land ceasing last year would be enough to last a while, but just one winter passed, the troops of the Zhao people had already attacked again.

Moreover, there is an army of 150,000.

I can only say that Zhao State will never die!

Several important officials of Yan State in the hall were shocked when they heard this, but soon their faces calmed down.

In fact, since the war last year, the people of Zhao will come to settle accounts one day and have become a consensus in Yan's political arena. Although everything seems calm on the surface, there has been a certain undercurrent flowing quietly in the underground where the King of Yan cannot see it.

As usual, the prime minister Guo Wei was the first to speak: "King, Zhao State is powerful and no longer Da Yan can compete alone. I think it is necessary to send envoys to the Central Plains to contact the princes and fight against Zhao State with the princes!"

After Guo Wei finished speaking, the hall fell into silence.

What Guo Wei said is actually the most correct thing in everyone's opinion, but it is also a nonsense.

Now the land transportation between Yan State and the Central Plains has been completely isolated by Zhao State. If you want to contact the princes, it is definitely not possible to go to Zhao State. Then there are only two roads, one is to go north to the grassland and the other is to go south to the sea.

If you walk on the grassland, you have to go from the Great Wall of Yan from Shanggu County, then pass through the territory of the Donghu and the Xiongnu, bypass the Henan County of Zhao, then turn from the territory of the Yuezhi people to the southeast, and finally arrive in Longxi, Qin. The journey on the grassland is thousands of miles, and all of them are alien races, so it is almost impossible to reach your destination alive. And even if you can really arrive alive, it will be at least two or three months later.

If you go to sea and land, you will go directly from Yan State, bypass Qi of Zhao State, bypass Langya, and walk thousands of miles of sea route to finally arrive at the eastern coast of Chu State. There must be ships, but it is impossible for so many miles of sea route to not dock to replenish supplies, right? But if you dock, you will be all the docks of Zhao State. It is God knows whether they will be investigated or even detained by Zhao State. Moreover, after arriving on the coast of Chu State, it will take more than a thousand miles to reach Jidu, which is inland. Time is also a huge problem.

In short, either of these two paths has a considerable risk, and it is not guaranteed to be able to pass information out in a timely manner.

After a long time, the King of Yan said slowly: "Okay, Su Qing, you will be responsible for this matter."

Su Qin didn't say anything, but replied with a slump.

Everyone actually understands the meaning of King Yan. Although it is definitely difficult to contact, it is impossible to do nothing and just wait to die here, right?

If you do it, you must do it. As for whether you succeed or not, you can only leave it to fate.

After a pause, the King of Yan said in a deep voice: "How many soldiers and horses can be used now?"

The person who answered this question was Qin Kai: "When King, if the whole country is in charge of military recruitment, 100,000 people should not be a problem."

Yan State is the least populous country among the princes. In the past two years, it has suffered repeated defeats and has been affected by war. Therefore, the troops that can be mobilized are extremely rare.

King Yan gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "I can't care so much. This time, no matter what method you use, I must gather at least 150,000 troops! At most ten days, I will see this army heading south to resist the attacks of the people of Zhao! Guo Xiang, Zou Qing, you two are highly respected, so you are responsible for the recruitment!"

When Guo Wei and Zou Yan heard this, their faces changed slightly.

According to the military service system and laws of Yan State, it is indeed the upper limit for the conscription of 100,000 soldiers. If you want to exceed this number and directly exceed 50%, some "special means" are absolutely imperative.

You should know that the spring starts in Yan State is relatively late. Now the people of Zhao State have already ended the spring plowing and headed north, but Yan State has just begun spring plowing.

If all the Dingkous were removed as directed by the King of Yan, then the farmland of Yan State would definitely not have enough labor to carry out spring plowing, and this year's poor harvest has become a foregone conclusion at this moment.

As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for the people. The King of Yan does this to cut off the survival of these lowest-class civilians in Yan State, and they want to watch them starve to death in the next winter!

Moreover, due to the Donghu and Koreans today, a large-scale famine broke out in Jidu, and many people were frozen to death. If they did it again this year, the consequences would be unimaginable.

This is an absolute tyranny, which will make the King of Yan lose the hearts of the people!

However, both Guo Wei and Zou Yan knew this, but neither of them expressed opposition. Instead, they agreed at the same time.

Because they also know very well that Yan State has really reached the critical moment of life and death. The life and death of the lowest commoners is simply irrelevant under the premise of maintaining the regime of Yan State for more than 700 years.

After arranging the recruitment, the King of Yan turned his eyes to Qin Kai and said in a deep voice: "General Qin Kai, it depends on you this time!"

No matter how much you ask for help or whether the recruitment activates the greatest potential for war in Yan State, it is ultimately necessary to see the difference on the battlefield.

If you block it, everything is easy to say. If you can't stop it, then there is nothing to say.

Qin Kai also had a very serious expression and nodded vigorously: "Please rest assured, as long as I still have a breath, I will never let the people of Zhao step across the north bank of Yishui!"

After the meeting ended, Su Qin and Zou Yan walked down the steps side by side and got on Zou Yan's carriage at the same time.

As the wheels rolled, the carriage trembled slightly, heading out of the palace with a specific rhythm.

Zou Yan took the lead in provoking the topic: "This time, Yan State is probably really over."

Su Qin wanted to say something, but when he spoke, he suddenly realized that he really had nothing to say, so he could only nod in silence.

There was a silence in the carriage.

After a while, Zou Yan said, "Your brother Su Li is back?"

Su Qin let out a sigh of relief and said, "Yes... he suffered a lot."

In the plan of Su Qin and others, Su Li was the inner-minded role of helping the North Koreans take over the Liaodong County governor Xiangping. During the process of the North Koreans advancing eastward, Su Li was also the guide of the North Koreans.

Zou Yan sighed and said, "It is inevitable to suffer. A few of my disciples are... Alas, I can only say that I will take good care of their wives and children in the future."

Su Qin was speechless, and after a while, he suddenly spoke: "Zou Qing, if you say that if we do this, will others point at the backbone and call us Yan Ties?"

Zou Yan was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "I have been allowed by the king in Jidu these years, and I have read all history books, and have gained a little. Shang Tang destroyed Xia, and the countries of various countries rebelled against Xia and attached Shang. Some people called them Xia traitors? King Wu attacked Shang, and the eight hundred princes Jingcong, and some people called them Shang traitors? Great traitors or great loyalty are nothing more than the decision of the victor. If Yan State wins, then you and I will naturally be unforgivable. But if Zhao State wins, then you and I will be a great hero who abandons darkness and turns to light as the King of Zhao said."

Su Qin nodded slowly and said, "What else needs to be done next?"
