Chapter 232: The State of Yan rises up

Li Ping finally escaped from Fenggao City under the cover of Ye Xiang Gong.

Li Ping climbed out of the barrel with difficulty, looked at the Fenggao city wall in the distance behind him, smelled the stench on his body, and headed towards the Yan Kingdom without looking back.

After half a month of arduous trek, Liping finally saw the border city of Yan Kingdom.

During this half month, Li Ping stayed up day and night, walking along deserted paths. He thought about the dozens of people he followed when he first set off from Biandu.

But now, he was alone, and the clothes on his body were already in tatters. But the most important edict of King Wei was well preserved by him.

Now, Li Ping has escaped from the State of Zhao and has come to the border of the State of Yan. He is no longer afraid of the Zhao State's pursuing troops to catch up with him.

Li Ping quickened his pace, wanting to find the guard of the border town as soon as possible and ask him to take him to Yandu as soon as possible.

Rongcheng is an important town adjacent to the State of Yan and State of Zhao. Because the State of Yan and the State of Zhao have been competing for the dominance of the north for a long time, the bilateral relationship has always been bad.

And the State of Zhao has always been the leader of the princes, suppressing the State of Yan for a long time.

This further worsened the bilateral relations.

Therefore, Yan State has always maintained a large number of soldiers on the border of Yan and Zhao.

"Stop! Who is that?" The Yan soldiers at the city gate saw Li Ping who was like a beggar and stopped him directly.

"Hurry up and inform your general! Just tell Wei Guo to send an envoy!" Li Ping said anxiously.

"Wei envoy?" The soldier was a little confused when he heard Li Ping's words. Then he took a closer look at Li Ping's dress.

He then said without hesitation, "Wei is also the largest prince in the world, so how can we have such a shabby envoy?"

"How presumptuous!" Rehei was anxious, and then said, "I don't want to argue with you! Go and call your general."

"My general is very busy with military affairs! How can I meet a stinky beggar? I advise you to leave quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being rude." The Yan soldier was also short-tempered.

Seeing that he couldn't explain to the soldier, and not wanting to waste time, Li Ping shouted at the top of his voice, "Li Ping, the special envoy of the Wei State, asks to see the general of the Yan State!"

"Bold! You are seeking death! Leave quickly! Otherwise I will be really rude!" Seeing that Li Ping refused to leave, the soldier shouted loudly, fearing that his general would blame him, and hurriedly drove Li Ping away.

But Li Ping made it clear that he wanted to use this method to attract the general of Yan State, so he was willing to leave.

While Rehei was fighting with the soldiers who came to drive him away, he kept shouting for his life.

"What's going on! How unbecoming is it to make such a noise!" A general from the Yan Kingdom came out and yelled loudly.

The soldiers of the Yan Kingdom were stunned when they heard this, and then said, "General, this beggar has been making noises and wants to see the general. I am preparing to drive him away."

When Li Ping saw the real master coming out, he immediately used all his strength to knock down the soldiers of Yan State who were blocking him to the ground.

When the Yan general saw this, he immediately became furious and shouted, "Who are you, dare to act wild here?"

When Li Ping heard the words of the general of Yan State, he also stopped. Then he straightened out his tattered clothes and said, "I, Li Ping, the envoy of Wei State, have come to pay homage to the King of Yan."

When the Yan general heard this, he was stunned.

He has seen many envoys, but this is the first time he has seen such a shabby envoy.

But looking at Li Ping's demeanor, it doesn't look like he's just pretending.

So he asked, "You said you are an envoy of Wei State, do you have proof?"

"I have the edict from King Wei and the customs clearance document from Wei State." As he said that, Li Ping directly put the baggage behind him on the ground, and then opened it layer by layer.

Under the gaze of everyone, Li Ping took out the edict and ultimatum of King Wei from his baggage.

The general of Yan State finished the ultimatum, looked at it carefully, and then looked at Li Ping again.

He hurriedly faced the ceremony and said, "I didn't know that the Wei envoy was coming, but I didn't come to greet him from afar. I hope to atone for my sin."

"General, there is no need to be polite. I have important matters and need to meet with King Yan. I would like to ask General to take me to the capital of Yan."

"I hope your envoy knows that my general is responsible for guarding the territory and does not dare to leave Rongcheng at will. However, I will send soldiers to escort your envoy to Yandu. Is it okay?"

"Then I'll excuse you, General." Rehei thanked the general again.

Soon, the Yan general found a pair of elite cavalry and led them towards the capital of Yan in Liping.

Three days later, King Yan Jidan sat upright on his throne and waved to a chamberlain beside him.

"Xuan! The envoy of Wei State has an audience!"

Li Ping wore the clothes he had just bought in Yandu, holding the certificate of Wei, and walked slowly into the main hall of Yan.

"Foreign minister, Li Ping, pay your respects to King Yan." Li Ping saluted King Yan, Ji Dan.

"Your envoy is exempt from courtesy." King Yan Ji Dan raised his hand slightly towards Li Ping and said.

"I wonder what your envoy, who has traveled thousands of miles, is doing in our country of Yan?"

"I report to the King of Yan that there are constant disputes in the world, the emperor has lost his virtue, and the people have been displaced and miserable. I have been ordered by the King of Wei to ask the King of Yan to send troops to clear the world and create a peaceful and prosperous age together!" Li Ping said.

"The King of Wei invites us, the State of Yan, to send troops?" Ji Dan was stunned for a moment, and then continued, "Well, to be honest, although our State of Yan is a prince and king, it is located in a remote place, the country is not prosperous, and the people are not strong, so I may not be able to be a leader.

Such a great responsibility."

"The words of the King of Yan are wrong. The Yan State has millions of soldiers, how can it be said that it is weak?" Li Ping immediately retorted.

"The King of Yan doesn't know something. Now all the princes are joining in the melee. Now the enemy and ourselves are at war with each other. The winner can be determined in a short time, but there is an excellent opportunity for the Yan Kingdom."

"What an excellent opportunity?" Ji Dan didn't quite understand, and then asked, "I wonder what your envoy means?"

"The King of Yan doesn't know anything. Now the Zhao State has raised troops and participated in the melee. The country is empty. This is the best opportunity for the King of Yan to avenge the national humiliation."

"If the King of Yan cannot seize this opportunity, if the Zhao State is victorious, he will definitely attack the Yan State with the momentum of a great victory. By then, the Yan State may be in danger of subjugation."

"Bold! Extremely arrogant!" Upon hearing this, the officials on the side shouted loudly.

"Gentlemen, I am not arrogant, but this is the fact. I am afraid that you have already realized how strong Zhao is! In this great week, except for Wei, who can resist, who can resist Zhao's cavalry?"

"And our country, Wei, is now in a three-sided war. Without the reinforcements from Yan, we will definitely not be able to withstand Zhao's attack. In this way, wouldn't we be advantageous to Zhao in vain?"

"Furthermore, how can the hundreds of years of hatred between Yan and Zhao be put aside? After the Zhao Kingdom destroys Wei, it will definitely sweep away the surrounding princes."

"If that happens, what will Yan State do to resist Zhao State's attack?"

"Therefore, the foreign minister boldly suggested to the State of Yan that while the Zhao State's army is attacking Wei, the King of Yan will raise his troops to attack Zhao! If we attack from two directions, the State of Zhao will be defeated! This is a matter of mutual benefit. I hope the King of Yan will think twice!"

Li Ping's voice sounded in the main hall of Prince Yan's palace, deafening.
