"What do you think of the conditions set by Yan State?"

In the imperial study of the King Zhao Palace, Zhao Yan looked at Fan Zeng and asked with some anticipation.

Fan Zeng did not reply, but asked, "Have the king contacted the young master?"

All the plans were planned by Fan Zeng, and things are very successful now. However, Yan's boldness and arrogance exceeded Fan Zeng's imagination.

So much so that Zhao Jia's life and death are still unknown until now, which also made Fan Zeng very worried.

Zhao Yan also looked worried when he heard this and sighed: "I thought it would be implied that the other party would use the Qin people to attack Jiaer in the future. With Jiaer's advance arrangement, the Qin people are not afraid of it."

"But unexpectedly, the King of Yan was so bold that he directly dispatched his army, which made Jiaer fall into danger, and his life and death are still unknown."

Fan Zeng's face was gloomy and said, "If there is anything wrong with the young master, the State of Yan will perish."

When Zhao Yan heard this, he opened his mouth and showed a hesitation on his face.

Now that the six countries are attacking Yan, Qi has dispatched many troops to get a share of the battle to destroy Yan. Even if this battle can destroy Yan, the territory of Yan will definitely not be monopolized by Zhao.

But now, the King of Yan sent a general Qu to Handan as an envoy, and was preparing to cede all the Dukang land, Shanggu County and Yuyang County to Zhao State, in order to request that Zhao State be able to stop its troops.

Even Zhao Yan was so bold that he was shocked.

It should be noted that although the land ceded by Yan State is only one-third of the area of ​​Yan State, the people and cities in it account for more than 70% of the entire Yan State.

Even the three major cities that are almost comparable to Handan, namely Jixian County, Yandu, Juyang, and Yuyang, are included in the ceded land.

In other words, if King Zhao agreed to the King of Yan's request, he could obtain most of the population and cities of Yan without bloodshed. Even if Yan still existed at that time, he had already been driven to the desolate land of Liaodong and lost a large number of people and cities. Even if he was still alive, he could no longer pose too much threat to Zhao.

In this way, Zhao not only obtained land and cities, but also avoided war, and also had reason not to distribute the spoils to the rest of the countries.

At that time, Zhao State was the real winner.

If Yan was destroyed according to the original plan, the land of Du Kang would definitely be taken away by Qi, and the remaining populations, cities, and vassal states participating in the destruction of Yan would require division.

At that time, the actual benefits that Zhao State could obtain were probably not as good as those of the territory and cities ceded by the King of Yan.

It was precisely because the pie was too big that King Zhao began to hesitate and even ordered Lian Po to temporarily suspend his advance.

As if he saw what Zhao Yan was thinking, Fan Zeng said seriously: "The young master made great achievements in Zhao State. If he really died in Yan State, the king would agree to the peace talks because Yan State ceded his territory. Even if he gained huge benefits, he would lose the hearts of the people."

"Have you ever thought that if the prince was not here, the alliance between Zhao, Chu and Qi would no longer be stable. At that time, Zhao State only gained the interests but made all countries come back empty-handed. The kings would definitely hold grudges in their hearts."

"If Qin State provokes discord from it again, the Alliance of the Union will collapse in an instant, and Zhao State will inevitably be enemies in all directions, and the gain will not be worth the loss."

"Therefore, the king should not do this in public or private, inside or outside."

When Zhao Yan heard this, he remained silent.

The next day, Zhao Yan rejected the request for help from the general Qu, and ordered Lian Po to continue to attack the Li Shi. When Yan State heard the news, the people were frightened.

Lian Po pulled out the Li Room on five days, and then led his troops to attack Ji County, trapping the capital of Yan State.

If Yan Capital is destroyed, Yan State will perish!

In the mountains, Zhao Jia had already received news that Lian Po had besieged Ji County, but he was not in a hurry to show up.

However, Gao Jianli and the Yan people were a little impatient.

After Gao Jianli and others learned that Zhao Jia was not dead, they felt that Yan State was saved. Not long after they were familiar with each other, Gao Jianli asked Zhao Jia to come forward to persuade King Zhao to withdraw his troops.

Zhao Jia asked back, "Is it true that the King of Yan sent troops to attack and kill me?"

Gao Jianli and others nodded.

Zhao Jia asked again: "In the past, Zhao and Yan formed an alliance. Yan Prime Minister celebrated his birthday to the former king, but reported that 'The strong Zhao people all died in Changping, and their lonely was not strong', which led to the king of Yan betrayal and tore up the alliance to attack Zhao with the strength of the whole country, but was defeated."

"Now the King of Yan used his old tricks again and formed an alliance with our Zhao State, but instead sent troops to pretend to be Qin people to assassinate."

Speaking of this, Zhao Jia looked around everyone present and said in a deep voice: "I know that most of the heroes are from Yan, so I naturally can't bear to watch the destruction of Yan State. However, from the position of Zhao State, is it wrong to send troops to attack Yan?"

"The six countries sent troops to attack Yan, and this move is huge and consumes countless money and food. The current situation is no longer something Zhao Jia can do."

Gao Jianli and others were ashamed when they heard this, and they never dared to ask Zhao Jia about withdrawing troops from now on.

However, they did not leave here, but were always with Zhao Jia, both to avoid suspicion and to find opportunities to persuade Zhao Jia again.

By now, the capital of Yan State has been besieged by the Allied Forces of the Six Kingdoms. Yan State is not far from its demise, and Gao Jianli and others can no longer bear it.

"Young Master, although the king's actions are wrong, we also know that it would be a bit difficult for us to ask the young master to persuade King Zhao to withdraw his troops."

"However, we are finally a Yan man. Even though we know that this is inappropriate, we hope that the young master can understand something and save Yan from the disaster of the demise of the country!"

After saying that, Gao Jianli and others knelt in front of Zhao Jia.

Zhao Jia stared at Gao Jianli, a famous knight in history, but his heart was mixed. It took him a long time to come forward to help him up.

"You are willing to sacrifice your life to save me. How dare Zhao Jia forget this kindness? Since you insist on doing this, I will give it a try."

"If you can't persuade your father and other countries to withdraw your troops, I hope you won't be surprised!"

Gao Jianli and others were overjoyed when they heard this and bowed again: "If the young master is willing to persuade King Zhao to withdraw his troops, no matter whether he succeeds or not, we will be willing to repay him with death in the future!"

Although Zhao Jia is now a heroic spirit, he is a complete politician.

If he gave up his plan for a long time just because Gao Jianli and a few others, he would definitely be a failed monarch.

The reason why he agreed to Gao Jianli and others was that after contacting Fan Zeng, he learned the conditions for summoning proposed by Yan State, and then he was moved.

If you really get the two richest counties in Yan State and the Du Kang land, the benefits will definitely not be much worse than destroying Yan State.

Moreover, the northeast of Yan State is remote and desolate, and it has occupied many alien races.

Even if Zhao State obtained this land, it would not have the energy to manage it. Instead, it might consume troops to guard against those alien races.

If the civil and military officials of Yan were driven to Liaodong, Yan might become a barrier to the northeast of Zhao, or perhaps it would prompt the expansion of China's territory when it forced Yan to go desperately.

The problem that Zhao Jia now faces is how to soothe the Yan territory while also appease the rest of the countries.
