Chapter 85

Chu and Wei sent troops to rescue Zhao. Although the number of troops was small, the attitude of the two countries shocked the King of Yan.

Just when the two countries decided to send troops, the envoys of the two countries also quickly headed to the capital of Yan State.

When he met the King of Yan, his words were full of threats.

The King of Yan was furious, but he was also worried. Although the Yan army had the advantage now, it would not be a good thing for Yan once Wei and Chu joined in.

Just when the King of Yan was hesitating about how to obtain the greatest benefit without offending the states of Chu and Wei, the envoy of Qin arrived.

The Qin envoy directly expressed his position to the King of Yan, telling Yan to fight without worry, as Qin had already sent troops to Chu and Wei.

"Foreign envoy, are you serious?"

The King of Yan was afraid that he had been fooled by the Qin envoy, so the Qin envoy nodded again to confirm.

The Qin envoy was really not trying to fool the King of Yan. At this time, Qin actually sent troops.

It was not that Qin was so arrogant as to want to fight one against three, but King Ying Zheng of Qin and Lu Buwei saw very clearly that as long as they could stabilize Yan and continue to attack Zhao, and then find a way to win over Qi to send troops, three against three would be the most advantageous situation for Qin.

Even though the Qin State has spent too much manpower and resources on building canals, it still has to use all its resources to deal with the rising tide of the coalition.

If a three-on-three fight can really be achieved, the momentum of the coalition will be delayed again. More importantly, fighting in this way can reduce the consumption of national strength of several countries.

The Qin envoy did not lie, and the King of Yan soon confirmed it because the Yan intelligence network received accurate information that Qin did send troops to fight against Chu and Wei respectively.

Seeing this, the King of Yan felt relieved. He was reluctant to give up the benefits he could gain under the current good situation.

The envoys from Chu and Wei were helpless when they saw this. Qin gave King Yan confidence with its practical actions. Now if they wanted to break the impasse, they could only decide the outcome on the battlefield.

The Qin envoy came here not only to calm the King of Yan's heart, but also to persuade the King of Yan to send more troops to attack Zhao.

The King of Yan was hesitant, so the Qin envoy did not waste any more words but came to the practical side.

He told the King of Yan that if Yan invested more troops, after the war, Qin would not take any of the interests of the defeated Zhao State, and all would belong to Yan.

Moreover, Qin would form an alliance with Yan. In the future, if Zhao, Chu and Wei retaliated against Yan, Qin would certainly send troops to help.

The temptation of benefits and the solution to future troubles showed that the Qin State was so sincere that the King of Yan agreed without much hesitation.

However, when the Qin envoy wanted to sign the letter of alliance, the King of Yan used words of trust and loyalty to persuade him to leave.

The Qin envoy was not disappointed when he saw this. At present, as long as Yan State invested more troops, Qin's goal would be achieved.

After the Qin envoy left, a court official asked: "Your Majesty, why don't you sign a written covenant? If it's just a verbal covenant, Qin will not recognize it in the future. I'm afraid..."

The King of Yan waved his hand, interrupting the man and saying, "My dear, because of the paper, the noble families in my country will not allow me to have a written alliance with the State of Qin."

The man was stunned, and then he reacted. His face changed slightly. The King of Yan looked at him leisurely and sighed: "Even I can only stop when it comes to some things."

This time, the cooperation between Qin and Yan was simply for the benefit of both sides, but when the situation changes, Yan will have to make a choice.

This man is silent. Their king is really capable when he is smart.

"My dear minister, please mobilize the troops to enter Zhao and end this war as soon as possible. What I want is territory and benefits, not to be used by Qin and drag down Yan."

……

The King of Yan demonstrated his determination with practical actions, but secretly expressed an ambiguous attitude to the envoys of Chu and Wei.

The envoys of the two countries were all smart people. After a little thought, they understood the mind of the King of Yan. The King of Yan really wanted to get great benefits from Zhao, but he didn't want to offend Chu and Wei.

After understanding this, the envoys of the two countries were helpless. They came here just to threaten the King of Yan with words, but if they really wanted to show their hostile attitude of declaring war on Yan, that was absolutely impossible.

Once the attitude of declaring war is clearly stated, Yan will only move closer to Qin quickly.

Now that the King of Yan has such an attitude, they can only place the turning point of future changes in the situation on the battlefield.

Many people felt helpless after learning about King Yan's actions and attitude. Now, those in Chu and Wei who were planning to promote the coalition were really worried that this war would turn into a three-on-three or three-on-four war.

All of a sudden, there were a lot more lobbyists going to Qi and South Korea. Whichever side these two countries supported would take the initiative.

Compared with these dazzling confrontations, after Yan Dan and Wei Wuji reached a temporary cooperation, they finally defeated Yanri at a huge cost.

Yanri's life and death is no longer a matter of concern to the two. The nets they have laid during this period of time have already covered Ying Zifei, the prey.

Whether it is Yan Dan or Wei Wuji, both of them have a strong desire to kill Ying Zifei. In order to get rid of Ying Zifei this time, they do not mind paying a greater price.

"Is this a bait? Or confidence?" Jing Ke and his companions, who had witnessed the brutal fighting during this period, were all horrified.

Now, several people are not sure how many back-up plans Yan Dan and Wei Wuji have made. The only thing they can be sure of is that Ying Zifei is still in the bamboo hut.

The Six-Fingered Black Knight was in a state of confusion at this moment. He knew that this day would come when he learned that Yan Dan was gathering the Mohist Rangers. But when he saw the Mohist Rangers in Yan State being pushed into a brutal fight by Yan Dan, he still felt indescribable emotions.

What a cruel fact!

It was no secret to some people that he accepted Yan Dan as his disciple, but did these Mohist knights really die a worthy death?
The six-fingered black knight tortured himself in his heart but ultimately did not get the answer. Perhaps, he will never get the answer in the future.

……

The fish swimming downstream seemed to have found their home, but the people walking towards this side disturbed the birds flying in the forest.

The solemn atmosphere made many people here nervous. Wei Wuji and Yan Dan looked at Ying Zifei who was waiting with wine.

"Long time no see, Master Zifei." Wei Wuji greeted with a smile and walked towards Ying Zifei. When someone was about to stop him, Wei Wuji waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, we guests should always let the host entertain us."

He walked over step by step. Seeing this, Yan Dan hesitated for a moment, but then followed him over.

"Please take a seat"

Ying Zifei invited them to open the wine jar and pour the wine. Wei Wuji and Yan Dan knelt down.

"Your confidence really surprises me." Yan Dan could no longer hold back his surging murderous intent, but Ying Zifei pushed the wine glass towards him and chuckled, "I was originally the one casting the net, but unfortunately, I was not as strong as you, so you became the host instead."

"Prince Dan of Yan, I should have drank this cup of wine with you when we were in Jicheng."

Yan Dan's face turned ugly. He managed to calm down his already broken heart. He said with a cold look: "Shame can only be paid with blood. I really should drink this glass of wine."

After saying that, he picked up the wine glass and drank the wine in it without worrying whether the wine was poisonous.

Is it poisonous?

It's not poisonous. If this person uses this method to break the situation, he will not be Ying Zifei.

He, Yan Dan, is now extremely sure of this.
