Chapter 220 For the sake of the Yan Kingdom, invite the prince to die!
"promise."
King Yan Xi discussed with Ju Wu, and then issued edicts one after another. The army of Yan quickly gathered, and Chen Bingdu Kang and Yishui.
At the same time, the pedestrian office sent back the credentials and met with King Yan.
"Your Majesty, the credentials of the State of Qin!" Zhao Yan had a solemn look in his eyes, and his expression was extremely complicated. He had returned to Yan all the way, so he naturally knew the movements of the Qin army.
"Send it up!"
King Yan's eyes were full of fear, and he knew in his heart that this book of state would determine the fate of Yan.
Even though he had made all kinds of preparations, he was still worried at this moment. Using the Yan State against the Qin State was undoubtedly a mantis blocking the cart.
"promise."
The chamberlain took the certificate of credence from Zhao Yan and handed it to King Yan Xi. At this moment, the atmosphere in King Yan's palace was deathly silent.
King Yan opened his credentials and took a look. His already pale face was even more bloodless. Seeing this scene, a trace of worry appeared on Ju Wu's face.
He knew in his heart that the certificate of credence must be something that King Yan could not bear. Otherwise, King Yan's generation of kings would not be so rude.
"Your Majesty, what are Qin's intentions?"
Hearing this, King Yan threw the credentials on the desk and said feebly without looking at Ju Wu.
"look by youself!"
Ju Wu hurriedly stepped forward, picked up the certificate of credence, and began to read it. However, the more he read, the anger in his eyes could no longer be suppressed.
Da Qin's credential states bluntly that the instigator, Crown Prince Dan of Yan, must be handed over, otherwise the army will overwhelm the country and overthrow the Yan Kingdom.
"Prime Minister, what do you think our country of Yan should do now?"
At this moment, King Yan's heart was full of pain. On the one hand, it was the State of Yan, and on the other hand, it was his son. He had always had high hopes for Yan Dan.
Otherwise, he would not have delegated power to Yan Dan not long ago and let Yan Dan take charge of the Yan court as the prince.
"Your Majesty, I don't know."
At this time, Ju Wu also shook his head repeatedly. No matter how stupid he was, he would not speak out about such a matter. Only Yan Wangxi was qualified to make such a decision.
The palms and backs of the hands are all flesh.
If he makes a decision today, he will definitely be liquidated by King Yan in the future.
"This matter is related to the fate of our nation, the king's decision is the most important!"
Looking at Ju Wu's cunning, the King of Yan was happy that he did not embarrass this old minister. He knew in his heart that on one side was the State of Yan and on the other was the Crown Prince of Yan.
This choice was difficult, even he couldn't make the decision, let alone a courtier like Ju Wu.
"Prime Minister, after you go down, let the traitor come to the palace."
"promise."
Hearing this, Ju Wu nodded quickly and left the Yan Palace. He knew in his heart that it was better not to stay in this place of right and wrong for a long time.
A quarter of an hour later, Prince Dan of Yan arrived at the palace, saluted King Yan Xi, and said: "My son, I pay homage to my father. My father will be king for ten thousand years, and Yan will be for ten thousand years -!"
Looking at the haggard Yan Dan, a trace of undetectable distress flashed across Yan Wangxi's eyes: "Prince, this is the credential of the State of Qin. You should also read it!"
Hearing this, Yan Dan was stunned for a moment, then picked up the credentials and read them again, his face suddenly turned pale. He knew in his heart that Fan Yuqi died, Jing Ke died, and now it was Yan Dan's turn.
"Father, I understand."
Yan Dan knew that he must die for the sake of the country of Yan.
........
Zhangtai Palace.
"Gongzi Shu, what do you think King Yan Xi will choose?" A smile flashed across Qin Wangzheng's eyes and he said to Zhao Shu.
Hearing this, Zhao Shu smiled and said: "Due to the power of the king, King Yan must be frightened and uneasy. He will behead Yan Dan to quell the wrath of the king's thunder."
There is no unnecessary possibility in this matter. Between Yan State and Yan Dan, King Yan will definitely choose Yan State. There is only one son in Yan State, but King Yan Xi has many sons.
"Yan Dan, my best friend in the past, and my enemy in the future, is now in the past." At this moment, Qin Wangzheng said with emotion after taking a sip of wine.
After taking a sip of wine, Zhao Shu also complimented him and said: "Being born in the same era as the king is their tragedy and their luck."
"As long as Yan Dan dies, the Yan Kingdom will no longer be worthy of justice. In the future, our great Qin Rui soldiers will approach the city, and King Yan will most likely surrender without a fight."
"The general is here to congratulate the king first."
Looking at Zhao Shu with a smile on his face, Ying Zheng pondered for a long time and said: "I have been thinking about the candidate to be the commander of Yan."
"General Meng Tian needs to be stationed in Jiuyuan, and he and Li Mu will be at odds with each other to guard against the Hu people in the north. The ones who can be used now are General Wang Jian and you."
At this moment, Qin Wangzheng took a deep look at Zhao Shu and said word by word: "Tell me, do you have the confidence to lead the army to destroy Yan?"
After hearing this, Zhao Shu pondered for a quarter of an hour, and then said to Qin Wangzheng: "Your Majesty, the general has this confidence, but it is inappropriate to do so."
"Whether it is General Li Xin, General Yang Duanhe, or General Wang Ben, they are all above the last generals in terms of ability and qualifications."
"The last general is just a public official, commanding an army to destroy Yan. It is difficult for the soldiers below to obey."
"The last general thought that General Wang Jian was the best candidate to defeat Yan."
"Among the current generals of our army, except for the two generals, the other generals are still not ready to lead an army alone and still need experience."
.......
Destroy Yan!
Zhao Shu was naturally not worried.
But he knew that to destroy Yan was not only to destroy a Yan State, but also to defend Qi State and Chu State, and he was not capable enough.
Although he led the army to conquer Handan under the guise of General Meng Tian, he only commanded less than 200,000 troops, and he only conquered one city.
Destroying a country and destroying a city are completely different, and the complexity is far beyond people's imagination.
This is the difference between generals.
Hearing Zhao Shu's words, Qin Wangzheng also nodded. The reason why he asked Wang Jian to lead an army to attack Zhao and advance in three directions was to train Wang Bi, Yang Duanhe and others.
"The title of Duke is indeed a bit low. Please prepare for the battle to destroy Yan. General Wang Jian will be the commander-in-chief and you will be the deputy-general."
"Lead Yang Duanhe and other generals, wait until spring comes, and destroy the Yan Kingdom."
"promise."
At this moment, Zhao Shu nodded in agreement.
He declined the position of chief general because Wang Jian was indeed more suitable than him, but for the position of deputy general, he considered himself to be as good as anyone.
Whether it is Wang Bi or Yang Duanhe at the moment, in terms of commanding attainments, they are similar to him, and he is not inferior to anyone.
And his title is a bit low.
Zhao Shu also noticed some meaning in Qin Wangzheng's words. The main general in the battle to destroy the country cannot be Wang Jian.
The thought moved slightly, and Zhao Shu couldn't help but nod inwardly. His concerns about Qin Wangzheng were understandable.
A minister whose prestige is too high is ultimately a threat to the royal power.
Even though King Qin was confident in his government and fearless of anything, what about his heirs?
