Chapter 304 Xiaoyao Hou, Zizai Hou
General's Mansion, inside the secret room.
After Song Yan killed Qin Baxian and returned to Linshui County, he began to retreat.
After a month of hard cultivation and taking a lot of medicinal pills, he finally cultivated the middle dantian to the eighth level of the innate.
Both dantians have reached the eighth level of the innate.
And his combat power can be at least doubled because of one more Dantian.
"Boom!"
The stone gate opened, and Song Yan, who had been in seclusion for a month, finally saw the light of day.
"General."
Chun He and Qiu Xiang, who were guarding outside the secret room, both rushed up the moment they saw him.
He was hugged by the two soft and tender bodies, but Song Yan was particularly moved. Since he retreated, the two girls have been staying outside the secret room. Facing these two strong affections, he couldn't bear it. It felt, after all, that he was leaving the world after completing the mission.
At that time, will Chun He and Qiu Xiang accept the fact that he has left?
After a while, Qin Nongyu and Princess Yuhu, who received the news of Song Yan's exit, also rushed over.
"Husband."
Qin Nongyu called softly, and the affection in his eyes was no less than Chunhe Qiuxiang.
So, he let go of Chunhe Qiuxiang, hugged Qin Nongyu in his arms, and walked to Princess Yuhu, whose belly was already protruding: "Yuhu, don't blame me for not staying by your side during this period of time, right? !"
"Yuhu won't blame the general." Yuhu put his little face on Song Yan's chest, but put one hand on his belly, his pretty face was full of maternal brilliance.
Even though she was married to Song Yan, she still did not call him husband, but called him general.
After some tenderness with several women, Song Yan came to the study.
He retreated for a month, but he accumulated a lot of official business.
However, he was quick-witted, and his wisdom was as vast as the sea, and he completed his official duties in less than an hour.
Meeting the next day.
Two things caught Song Yan's attention.
First, Qin State sent envoys to Qi State again to ask for peace, but Zhao Yan did not withdraw his troops after retaking Yan State, but started to attack Qin State according to Song Yan's instructions.
He, Song Yan, was not the one who swallowed the losses. This battle to rescue the two kingdoms of Yan and Zhao not only killed Gu Min, but also lost tens of thousands of soldiers. How could he easily let Qin go? loss.
Of course, compared to Qi, Qin's losses were even more serious. First, the future general Qin Ba died at his hands first, and secondly, Qin's army of 130,000 was wiped out by 80,000.
In this regard, Song Yan will not see it, all he sees is the loss of his Qi country.
With the help of the wolf cavalry, as well as the siege weapons, gunpowder and bombs, Zhao Yan captured a county in Qin in just two days.
Although it was only a county, it made Qin State panic.
Therefore, he hurriedly sent an envoy to Qi State to seek peace. Coincidentally, the envoy who came to seek peace was Wu Yan, the vice-chancellor of Qin State.
The moment he saw Wu Yan, Song Yan only said one sentence, but Wu Yan's face was full of shame.
Then, Song Yan didn't give him a chance, and had him kicked out directly.
This grandson was in his house for an hour, and before he left, he even threatened him, so how could Song Yan give him a good look.
As for the second thing, it was that Yan and Zhao jointly sent credentials.
He expressed his willingness to belong to Qi and become a vassal of Qi.
Before, the two countries of Yan and Zhao were crippled by Song Yan, and they extorted more than one billion dollars. Later, Qin State sent troops to attack them. In desperation, they had to ask Qi State for help, and promised to give Qi State after victory. Hundreds of millions of dollars.
Therefore, these two rounds are more than two billion dollars. So far, the treasuries of the two countries are empty enough to run mice.
The two kings of Yan and Zhao were so poor that they could not even afford the salaries of hundreds of officials, generals and even soldiers. The most important thing was that although Qi State returned the land it had seized from Qin State to the two countries of Yan and Zhao.
But after the Qin army and Qi army searched, it can be said that the county towns that returned to their hands were very poor, so what they received was not the lost country, but a group of burdens.
Hundreds of officials, generals and even soldiers and civilians have to eat with their mouths open.
In desperation, the two countries negotiated, and only by becoming a vassal of Qi can the crisis be resolved.
Regarding the fact that the two countries of Yan and Zhao became vassals of Qi, all officials of Qi were arguing.
why?
In the opinion of the opponents, the two countries of Yan and Zhao becoming vassals of Qi will only drag down Qi. After all, the two countries have become impoverished after the military disaster. Therefore, after Yan and Zhao became vassals of Qi, Qi State not only did not get the slightest benefit, but instead used money and food to subsidize the two countries.
Typical loss-making trade.
As for those who agree, they think that Qi is now the most powerful country in the Shenzhou Continent, so it should have the demeanor of a great country. Since Yan and Zhao came to vote, it means that they respect our boss, so the younger brother of Yan and Zhao should not be allowed to vote. Chilled.
Therefore, the officials who are divided into two factions, you have your reasons, and I have my way. After arguing for an hour, no one was able to convince the other.
In the end, it was Song Yan who shouted loudly, shutting up the quarrelsome officials, and ordered the messengers of Yan and Zhao to be brought into the courtroom.
Looking at the two envoys from the state of Yan and Zhao who were fighting vigorously, Song Yan said to them, "Go back and tell your great king that our state of Qi only accepts one condition, that is, the two countries are directly merged into our state of Qi, and this general can ask you Your Majesty promises that after merging into the state of Qi, they will still be able to enjoy the glory, wealth and honor. As for the officials and generals of the two countries, I will not move them, and they will all retain their original positions. At the same time, once the two countries are merged into the state of Qi, We will soon open the warehouse and release food to relieve the two countries.
Of course, if the king of your family does not agree, let your two countries fend for themselves! "
After listening to Song Yan's words, the envoys of the two countries couldn't help looking at each other, repeatedly saying yes, and hurried back to their respective countries to report.
Soon, the envoys from Yan and Zhao returned to their respective countries and reported Song Yan's conditions.
King Yan and King Zhao were both very angry.
But the officials and the generals were very moved, because Song Yan had promised that after the two countries were merged into Qi, their positions would not be changed.
The law that the butt determines the head works in any world.
Therefore, in the face of the opposition of the two kings of Yan and Zhao, hundreds of officials persuaded the kings of each family to surrender to the state of Qi.
In the face of the hundreds of officials and generals bought by Qi State, King Yan and King Zhao were both heartbroken, but they were fortunate that Song Yan promised them a lifetime of glory and wealth. Although they were unwilling, they could only agree.
Ten days later, the two kings of Yan and Zhao came to Linshui County and presented their national letter and jade seal to King Jiang Dan of Qi, which meant that the two countries of Yan and Zhao were officially merged into the state of Qi, and the territory of the state of Qi also reached three in one fell swoop. fifteen counties.
Of course, Song Yan also fulfilled his promise. He named King Zhao Xiaoyao Hou and Yan King Zizai Hou, each with a monthly salary of 30,000 yuan.
As long as they don't squander, the 30,000 yuan is enough for them to live happily. You know, the monthly salary of ordinary soldiers is only 50 yuan.
