Chapter 96 Peace Talks Success
The King of Zhao was actually very tempted. The State of Yan's concession proved that they were also cowardly. If he could mobilize Li Mu's border troops to attack at this time, could he force the State of Yan to surrender?
Just as he expressed this idea, the court officials of Zhao State panicked and said, "Your Majesty, you are dreaming. The Qin people have only withdrawn their troops, not died."
Believe it or not, as long as Zhao and Yan continue to fight, Qin will send troops again, and the situation will become the same as when the war just started.
Wei is now unable to take care of itself. Although Chu helps Zhao, it is to promote the coalition rather than to be Zhao's thug.
The advice of the court officials made King Zhao regret this idea, but he still drew a bottom line and tried his best to negotiate, not allowing Yan to occupy Zhao's land.
Although Pang Nuan and the others were troubled by this hypocritical request, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After learning that it was Yan Chunjun who took the initiative to write a letter to King Yan, Pang Nuan knew that Wang Jian and his men were going to leave. Although he wanted to kill them, he knew that Ying Zifei would not give them the chance.
"Then let Yan Dan take the blame." General Chu said slowly. Pang Nuan twitched the corner of his mouth. Not to mention whether Yan Dan could convince King Yan, just being the one to take the blame, he was afraid that Yan Dan would not do it.
"We have to give it a try. It's not a good idea to drag it on like this." The Chu general said to Pang Nuan, and then said, "Let's deliberately release the information that Li Mu of the Border Army is going to mobilize troops. Whether it's Yan Dan or the King of Yan, the deterrent power of Wu'an Jun Li Mu is still useful."
Pang Nuan was speechless. He could only persuade Yan Dan at this time. After all, Pang Nuan didn't want to let Yan State take advantage. After all, he still had to fight for some lost points.
When Pang Nuan tried to persuade Yan Dan with the reason of "for the overall situation", Yan Dan was angry and sad.
Pang Nuan's increasing demands were telling him that the world was too complicated, and that his Yan Dan's fist was not strong enough and he obviously couldn't control it.
"What if I don't agree, will Your Excellency the General turn around and attack Yan?" Yan Dan clenched his fists under his robe and spoke angrily.
Pang Nuan felt a little embarrassed. He was now pushing his limits out of selfish motives. He had to do something to increase the king's trust in him.
At this time, the Chu general next to him sneered and said: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince of Yan, we all know what is going on with Yan Chunjun. Qin general Wang Jian and others must have left by now. Who among you, the generals of Yan, can stop us?"
Yan Dan's face looked extremely ugly. Such disdainful threatening words made him very angry. At this time, he suddenly realized that the departure of Wang Jian and others was not a good thing for the State of Yan.
The so-called peace talks turned into coercion after Pang Nuan and others saw the opportunity.
"Your Highness, Crown Prince Yan, we can promise that after the war of alliance, Yan will gain great benefits. How do you think?"
Pang Nuan gave an empty promise and also gave Yan Dan a way out, but Yan Dan's face did not look much better. Damn, the territories of Yan State and Qin State are not adjacent to each other, so how could they fly over and occupy the territory?
Yan Dan refused to give in, and he could not bear the blame. At this time, Guo Kai deliberately reminded him: "Your Highness, Prince Yan, after all, everything is about Ju Xing's defeat."
Hearing this, everyone looked at Guo Kai. Guo Kai didn't say anything more, but Yan Dan was stunned. He understood what Guo Kai meant. He just needed to put all the blame on the dead Ju Xing.
does it work?
Of course it is feasible. I'm sure Yan Chunjun will be very happy about it.
Talent!
Pang Nuan and others couldn't help but admire Guo Kai for understanding people's hearts so well that he immediately grasped the reason why Yan Dan was superstitious.
Although these people hate this method, you have to admit that Guo Kai has provided a solution.
Seeing Yan Dan's hesitation, Guo Kai despised this man for being so pretentious. He was obviously moved, but he had to look hesitant. Who was he doing this for?
"Your Highness, Crown Prince Yan, if you are guilty, I'm afraid your father will be unhappy."
"All the blame can only be placed on Ju Xing. It is Ju Xing who is ashamed of your father's trust. He is the culprit for the failure of Yan State in this expedition." Guo Kai said it more clearly. What you, Yan Dan, should do at this time is to maintain your father's prestige. This is the way to satisfy all parties.
For some reason, Pang Nuan and the others shuddered slightly, and looked at Guo Kai with complicated expressions.
If such a person were to come to power, he would be a disaster because of his excessive selfishness.
Because he understands too well and is too good at considering the king's affairs.
Yan Dan looked at Guo Kai deeply, and then nodded in compromise. Although he hated Pang Nuan and others for being so aggressive, he could not let war break out between Yan and Zhao now.
A few days later, a memorial was urgently delivered to the capital over a distance of 600 miles. After reading it, King Yan looked disconsolate.
The Prince of Yan did not show any anger at this time. The situation of the national treasury during this period made him frightened and he could not fight anymore.
"Ju Xing, you really deserve to die!"
With a murmur, the only thoughts of expanding the territory in King Yan's mind completely disappeared. A failure told him that stabilizing the current situation of Yan State was the life he should live.
"Give concessions after the war of coalition?" The King of Yan sneered. He did not believe in the greed of the kings of various countries, not to mention that it was still uncertain whether they could defeat the Qin State.
Putting the memorial down, the King of Yan rubbed his forehead. By not occupying the city and not seizing the profits, the State of Yan did not lose face. After all, Ju Xing was dead yet the talks could be concluded. As the King of Yan, he should really push all the responsibilities onto Ju Xing.
"An alliance? Haha, you guys really make me agree."
The powerful people in the country have secretly united to persuade him, the king, to agree to the alliance. The King of Yan knows what is going on. In this case, he will take the opportunity to weaken these people.
The alliance of these people made Prince Yan see some opportunities, and this was also the reason why he was not angry when facing the letter from Crown Prince Yan Dan at this time.
It would be better if this force was weakened, otherwise he, as the king, would feel uncomfortable.
If the coalition forces win, he, as the king, will not suffer any loss. If the coalition forces lose, there will be casualties.
"To threaten me, haha, fine, I will agree. I hope your strength and luck are strong enough."
With these cold words, murderous intent finally appeared in the eyes of King Yan. He didn't want to bow to the State of Zhao, but these people were unwilling to do so.
After closing his eyes and thinking for a while, the King of Yan sent someone to deliver an urgent order to Prince Dan over a distance of 600 miles, asking him to reach a peace agreement with the State of Zhao so that neither country would gain an advantage.
……
The peace talks between the two countries ended, and the Yan army was pushed back to the country. However, both Yan and Zhao were quite dissatisfied with the peace talks. If there was a chance next time, they would definitely not mind giving the other side a blow.
After seeing Wang Jian and others off, Ying Zifei was ready to return to Qin. However, before leaving, he had to finish up matters in Yan and Zhao.
"I thought you would continue to worsen Yan Dan's reputation and make it difficult for him to gain power." Hei Bai Xuan Jian said with some surprise. Although Yan Dan suffered a lot this time, he now has a good grasp of King Yan's pulse. After the peace talks, the deceased Ju Xing bore the bad reputation, but Yan Dan was not greatly affected.
“Haha, you are wrong. From now on, Yan Dan will never be able to get talented people to work for him again.” Ying Zifei’s words were so loud that Hei Bai Xuan Jian was stunned.
