Chapter 87 Coercion
Yan King Palace.
"Can Zhao and Qi agree to the peace talks?"
The King of Yan looked at the prime minister, Jiang Qu, and asked, with a look of expectation on his face.
In the previous period, Lian Po defeated Yan State and led his troops to besiege the capital of Yan State. The King of Yan sent people to ask for help, but Zhao State made a statement and only discussed peace talks with the Yan State's doctor Jiangqu.
When the King of Yan received the news, he hurriedly enthroned General Qu as prime minister, and then reached a peace talk with Zhao State and ordered Zhao State to withdraw its troops.
Entanglement
Zhao did this only because the Yan State attacked Zhao and Jiangqu tried his best to dissuade him, but the King of Yan was disliked.
Lejian and Lecheng, who had opposed Yan's attack on Zhao in the past, had already defected to Zhao State, so Zhao State naturally spared no effort to support and benevolent in Zhao State to hold a high position in Yan State.
Jiang Qu's face showed a look of embarrassment and said, "General Lian Po agreed to the peace talks, but only asked the king to lead the civil and military officials of Yan State out of the city and go to the military camps of Zhao and Qi in person before he could discuss the specific peace talks."
When the King of Yan and the civil and military officials in the court heard this, they all changed their color.
The King of Yan is the lord of Yan State. If he leads the civil and military officials of Yan State to the enemy's military camp, he will inevitably lose all his face.
The most important thing is that if Zhao State goes back on its word and detains the King of Yan and the civil and military officials of Yan State, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Not to mention that the King of Yan would not agree, even the civil and military officials of Yan would never promise.
"This matter is absolutely not feasible!"
As expected, as soon as Jiangqu finished speaking, someone shouted loudly and looked extremely excited.
Jiang Qu smiled bitterly when he heard this and said, "If this is not the case, the coalition forces of Zhao and Qi will forcibly attack the city. Please think twice."
As the prime minister of Yan State, Jiang Qu naturally did not want to see the King of Yan lead the Chinese civil and military officials to the enemy's military camps.
Unfortunately, Yan State is in danger now, and if Lian Po’s suggestion is not accepted, it is likely that the country will be destroyed.
The King of Yan's face turned pale and his voice trembled: "I am determined to form an alliance with Zhao Guoyong, which is a sincere peace talk. Can the Prime Minister report to General Lian Po and discuss the peace talks in another place."
"This matter is not impossible."
The King of Yan said this with a begging meaning, and it was not very certain whether Jiang Qu could persuade Lian Po to change his mind.
But unexpectedly, as soon as King Yan finished speaking, someone came from behind Jiangqu and replied loudly.
The King of Yan hurriedly looked up and found that the person who came was about twenty years old, with a handsome face and starry eyes, and was full of heroic spirit.
After carefully looking at it, the King of Yan exclaimed: "You are Zhao Jia!"
"Jia has met the King of Yan."
After being recognized, Zhao Jia had no sign of nervousness on his face, but instead saluted the King of Yan calmly.
After the rest of the Yan State's civil and military officials learned about Zhao Jia's identity, their faces changed drastically. Many generals even held the hilt of the sword in their hands and wanted to take Zhao Jia.
Zhao Jia glanced at the Yan generals who were about to move, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Long time no see you all!"
When the generals of Yan State heard this, most of them turned red.
It was just because of the Battle of Zheng Dai that Zhao defeated the Yan army and captured countless generals of Yan State, many of whom were among the court.
Although they were eventually released back to Yan State, they felt extremely embarrassed and angry whenever they thought of the capture.
Now that Zhao Jia has exposed the scars, how could the generals of Yan State look good?
They were determined to have anger, but unfortunately, when they thought of the 300,000 Zhao and Qi coalition troops stationed outside the city, they all had to suppress their anger and stared at Zhao Jia with a fierce look.
After the King of Yan was shocked, his face immediately showed joy.
He stepped forward and held Zhao Jia's hands and said, "I listened to Li Fu's slander several years ago, and then raised my troops to attack Zhao, and I regret it. Now that time has passed, I am determined to form an alliance with Zhao Guoyong, and I hope the prince will understand my heart."
It has to be said that weak countries have no diplomacy.
It was not until this time that Zhao Jia seemed to understand why Qin State was so strong in history that it was so strong that it was so breathless.
In the final analysis, it is still a strong national strength.
Now the State of Zhao is far stronger than the State of Yan. Even as the lord of Yan, the King of Yan still respects Zhao Jia, the eldest grandson of King Zhao.
Zhao Jia's current status also originated from Zhao State.
"I wonder if the king said that the good thing forever to form an alliance is true?"
Zhao Jia took a step forward, staring at King Yan, looking a little sharp.
"It's true, absolutely true!"
When Zhao Jia heard this, the smile on his lips became stronger and stronger.
"Since Yong is an alliance, should Zhao and Yan advance and retreat together in the future?"
King Zhao nodded again and said anxiously: "Should this be the case."
"That's OK."
"Now that Qin State is attacking Wei, Prince Wuji sends envoys to seek help from various countries. I believe the envoys of Daliang have arrived in Yandu."
"Zhao, Chu, Han, and Qi have all agreed to send troops to help Wei. Since the king is determined to form an alliance with Zhao Yong, should he send troops to attack Qin?"
After Zhao Jia finished speaking, there was an uproar in the palace of Yan King.
Now Ji is besieged by the coalition forces of Zhao and Qi, and the news has become very closed. The King of Yan only knows that Qin has attacked Wei in order to rescue Yan, but he did not expect that things have evolved to such a level.
If the five countries jointly attacked Qin and had to join forces with Yan, it would become an unprecedented six countries jointly attacked Qin.
Such a big move, no matter how powerful Qin State is, it will be extremely difficult to block the Hezong army.
Therefore, even though the King of Yan knew that Qin was in danger to save Yan, he had to consider whether to join the Hezong Army.
"Since Yan State is willing to form an alliance with Zhao State, he should participate in the coalition army. But now Zhao and Qi occupy many cities in our country. Since Yan State joins the Allied Army, can your country return the occupied cities?"
Just when the King of Yan was still hesitating and had not replied, Jiang Qu pulled off the King of Yan's sleeve and stepped forward and said.
The King of Yan understood and responded quickly: "As long as Zhao returns the occupied city, our Yan State is willing to join the Allied Army with the troops of the whole country!"
Zhao Jia's smile gradually calmed down and said, "This time, the reunion was not just to save Wei, but to defeat Qin."
"Therefore, the coalition army must work together."
"As long as the King of Yan should give two conditions, the coalition forces of Zhao and Qi will naturally withdraw from Yan completely and will never occupy any city."
The King of Yan's expression became excited and he hurriedly said, "Please speak with me, young master."
"First, Yan State sent 100,000 strong troops to join the Hezong Army, and the troops were handed over to the unified command of Gongzi Wuji."
When the King of Yan and the civil and military officials of Yan State heard this, their faces changed slightly.
Sending troops to join the Hezong army is two completely different concepts than handing over the army to others to command.
If you join freely, Yan State can choose not to fight or delay; if the army is handed over to Wei Wuji, Wei Wuji has the final say on whether to fight or retreat, and the lives of the 100,000 army will be in the hands of Wei Wuji.
"This, I'm afraid this is something wrong..."
Zhao Jia seemed to see through the worry in the King of Yan, and said, "This time, the troops of all countries will be handed over to the unified command of Gongzi Wuji. Generals of various countries will act as staff to help Gongzi Wuji mobilize the army. Yan State can also send generals to participate."
"Therefore, the king does not need to worry. Prince Wuji will deliberately send Yan's army to death."
After a while of silence, the King of Yan nodded and said, "If this is true, I am willing to promise this first condition."
Zhao Jia smiled and said again: "Second, Yan State will give Gecheng, Wuyang and Pingshu to Zhao State."
When the King of Yan heard this, his face changed drastically.
