Chapter 726 As Long as I Surrender Quickly Enough, You Can't Defeat Me! The Map of Yan State Ends Here!
The heavy and majestic palace door was pushed open.
What appeared before Jing Ke was a wide road covered with wool carpet.
On both sides of the road, the ministers knelt.
At the end of the road, a high platform stood, carrying the king of the most powerful country in the world.
Qin Wang Zheng!
Everyone in this hall, no matter how tall they were, subconsciously looked down at Tian Guang and Jing Ke.
It seemed that all the hidden and conspiracies of Tian Guang and Jing Ke could not escape their eyes!
Jing Ke took a deep breath and followed Tian Guang closely. He followed Tian Guang into the hall and stood in the hall. He bowed to the platform and said:
"The envoy of Yan State Shangqing Guang/Deputy Envoy Dafu Ke, greets the King of Qin!"
On the platform, Ying Zheng nodded slightly: "No need to be polite, please take a seat."
Tian Guang and Jing Ke bowed again: "Thank you, King Qin!"
When Tian Guang and Jing Ke sat in the first row, Ying Zheng asked with concern: "How is Prince Dan of Yan recently?"
Tian Guang's eyes flashed slightly, but he still smiled and responded: "Thank you, King Qin for your concern."
"The prince is fine, and he is trusted by my king."
"In this battle, my king has appointed the prince as the commander-in-chief of my Great Yan army!"
Tian Guang didn't know how many times he had heard Yan Dan talk about the dispute between him and Ying Zheng.
Tian Guang had already preconceived that Ying Zheng had no good intentions towards Yan Dan.
So in Tian Guang's opinion, Ying Zheng's question was not a good one!
In this case, Tian Guang naturally wanted to save some face for Yan Dan.
Ying Zheng smiled uncontrollably: "Three years ago, Prince Dan of Yan left without saying goodbye, and I was worried that I might never meet Prince Dan of Yan again in this life."
"I never thought that this time, Qin and Yan would form an alliance to attack Zhao, and Yan would actually let Prince Dan of Yan lead the expedition."
"After this battle, I will definitely invite Prince Dan of Yan to Xianyang for a chat!"
Ying Zheng's words were filled with unconcealed longing.
Even if the old friend was determined and did not want to stay in Xianyang for a long time, the former brothers would eventually fight on the battlefield.
But before the Qin and Yan went to war, at least they could take the opportunity of the alliance to drink and chat again, so that they would not be in vain as brothers!
But what Ying Zheng said was extremely harsh to Tian Guang and Jing Ke!
What did Yan Dan do in Xianyang?
Continue to be a hostage!
Tian Guang was angry!
But he had to suppress his anger for the sake of the plan, and even forced a smile: "I will definitely tell the prince about the good intentions of the King of Qin."
"As far as I know, the prince also misses the King of Qin very much!"
The prince is thinking about you day and night...
When will he die!
Ying Zheng's eyes showed some surprise: "Really?"
"Is Tian Shangqing good friends with Yan Taizi Dan?"
Tian Guang bowed and said solemnly: "I used to be a guest in the prince's palace."
"The reason why I can be the Shangqing of Great Yan is also recommended by the prince!"
Ying Zheng ordered loudly: "Serve wine!"
"Serve good wine!"
One side missed his friend eagerly, and the other side flattered.
For a while, the atmosphere in Qilin Hall was particularly harmonious.
It was not until they talked about Yan Dan for a long time that Wang Wan brought the topic back to the point.
"Tian Shangqing." Wang Wan stepped out and bowed, saying, "During the alliance between Qin and Yan, the King of Yan proposed to send troops to help our Great Qin."
"Then Yan recruited 300,000 soldiers and prepared for war!"
"For this, the whole Great Qin is deeply grateful."
"But I don't know when the Yan army will be able to send troops to Zhao and hand over the tiger talisman to Chang'an Jun of our Great Qin, who will dispatch it uniformly?"
It's useless to talk nonsense!
It will only make sense if we quickly take out the troops promised by Yan!
Tian Guang also sat up straight and said sincerely, "This time when the violent Zhao attacked Qin, my king decided without hesitation to send troops to help Qin to attack the unjust and violent Zhao!"
"However, many important officials of my Great Yan were dissatisfied with this and advised my king all day long."
As soon as this sentence fell, the atmosphere in the hall was instantly solemn.
Wang Wan frowned slightly: "My Great Qin and Yan help each other. If Yan is attacked, Qin will help it, and if Qin is attacked, Yan will help it."
"This is the alliance agreed upon by Qin and Yan!"
"I wonder what the ministers of Yan are dissatisfied with this?"
Wei Liao said coldly: "Now the war has begun, when my Great Qin deployed its troops, it has already taken Yan's reinforcements into consideration."
"Today, the envoy of Yan said that he was unwilling to send troops to help my Great Qin?"
"Where is Yan's loyalty!"
The ministers of the Great Qin looked at Tian Guang with cold eyes.
The Great Qin did not think that Yan would send reinforcements, nor did it take Yan into consideration. It only planned to let Yan symbolically provide some food to show its position.
It was Yan who was so eager to send 300,000 troops to help Qin attack Zhao, and promised to bear the food and grass supply of Meng Wu's troops.
As a result, now that the war has begun, you Yan suddenly regret it? !
This is not only a treacherous act, but also seriously undermines the strategic layout of the Great Qin!
Even Ying Zheng put away his smile and asked in a deep voice: "Yan State, do you want to bully our Great Qin!"
My brother is still waiting for reinforcements at the front line!
As a result, your Yan State is going to escape from the battlefield? !
Tian Guang hurriedly stood up, stood at the bottom of the stairs and bowed, saying: "Misunderstanding!"
"This is indeed a misunderstanding!"
"My king and my Great Yan prime minister thought that Qin and Yan were on good terms. Now that Zhao attacked Qin for no reason, our Great Yan should do its best to help Qin."
"However, many court officials in my Yan State thought that although Qin and Yan were on good terms, the alliance could not last for ten thousand years."
Hearing this, the brows of the king and ministers of Great Qin frowned even deeper.
Tian Guang continued as if unconsciously: "Therefore, many important officials advised my king."
"Instead of sending 300,000 troops and taking on part of the Qin army's food and grass, why not..."
"Go west and submit!!!"
"Only in this way can Qin and Yan be kept in peace for ten thousand years!"
"And my Great Yan can get the protection of Great Qin, and can also get many treasures developed by Chang'an Jun, which will help my Great Yan country to be peaceful and prosperous!"
The king and ministers of Great Qin: Huh? ? ?
Wang Wan, Wei Zhuang and other court officials thought that Yan State was going to tear up the alliance again, and they had rolled up their sleeves and were ready to start blasting.
The result.
You actually want to surrender!!!
For a while, the ministers of Great Qin actually felt a little ashamed.
Misunderstood a good person!
But Wei Liao, Li Si and other ministers felt quite strange.
With the temperament of King Xi of Yan, would he be willing to ask to be a minister?
I'm afraid he would only take out the club after the Qin-Zhao war and stab the defeated country in the back!
Li Si immediately asked: "Qin and Yan are far apart, and they are allies. They should help each other."
"Why did Yan become a vassal of our Great Qin?"
Tian Guang looked at Li Si dimly and said: "Qin and Yan are indeed far apart, and Qin and Yan are indeed allies."
"Yes, the current Great Qin's encroachment is seen by everyone in the world!"
"The bravery of the Great Qin army is known to everyone in the world!"
"One day, the Great Qin will destroy Zhao and connect with our Great Yan territory."
"Rather than being an enemy of Qin at that time and then being destroyed by Qin, it is better for our Great Yan to become a vassal early so that the ancestral temple will not be lost!"
Li Si choked.
You, what nonsense are you talking about!
But if Yan has indeed noticed the ambitions of the Great Qin, then asking to be a vassal is indeed the best choice for Yan.
Ying Zheng spoke calmly: "The ministers of Yan State have misled our Great Qin!"
"The reason why Qin attacked and destroyed Han and Wei, and fought with Zhao State for years, is because of the blood feud between our Great Qin and the Three Jins that lasted for hundreds of years!"
"The reason why Qin attacked and destroyed Chu is because Chu State repeatedly provoked our Great Qin, and even attacked our Great Qin's allies, and our Great Qin had to be forced to fight."
"Qin and Yan are on good terms, and are even allies. Our Great Qin will never go to war with Yan, let alone invade the territory of Yan State."
"Yan State has no need to worry."
"As for Yan State's request to be a minister, I think it can be discussed!"
If it was Qi State that asked to be a minister, Ying Zheng would not necessarily agree.
But the significance of Yan State's request to be a minister is completely different.
For the public, Great Qin will be able to directly launch a pincer attack on Yan State from two directions, and when Great Qin's system and generals are stationed in Yan State, the Yan army will also change its current cowardice and become a brave and elite force to help Great Qin destroy Zhao State.
In private, the conflict of interest between Ying Zheng and Yan Dan has completely disappeared. There is no possibility of the two being enemies anymore. There is no need to affect the brotherly feelings for the interests of the countries. They can restore the old friendship.
As for the disadvantages of Yan State being too far away from Daqin, not bordering, and difficult to control, it is not a problem for Daqin today.
At worst, Ying Chengjiao can be sent to Yan State!
Ying Zheng didn't believe it. Ying Chengjiao was in charge of Yan State, and Yan State dared to make trouble!
So Ying Zheng had clearly revealed his attitude without discussing with his ministers.
Tian Guang said sincerely: "To be honest, although Great Yan is weaker than Qin, it is still a great power in the world."
"Great Yan's request to serve as a minister is still under discussion in the court."
"Please wait for a moment, King Qin."
Ying Zheng nodded slightly: "The country's major affairs should be handled with extreme caution."
"That's what I should do."
Tian Guang bowed again: "Thank you, King Qin!"
"To show the sincerity of Great Yan, my king specially ordered the foreign ministers to bring the Kunyu map of Dukang of Great Yan to Qin."
"And present the Kunyu map of Dukang to Great Qin!"
All the officials of Great Qin in the hall changed color and looked at Tian Guang intently.
Although Tian Guang only said that he would present the Kunyu map of Dukang.
But in this era, presenting a map means presenting the territory drawn on the map!
The land of Dukang is the richest and most fertile land of Yan!
In addition to its economic value and farming value, the greatest value of Dukang lies in its strategy!
You should know that the future Daxing Airport is still a lake in this era, and there are large swamps to its southeast, which are impassable.
If you want to bypass lakes and swamps and avoid steep mountains, and go north from the Central Plains to Yan, you can only pass through the throat of Dukang.
If the Qin Dynasty controls the Dukang area, the life and death of Yan will be in the hands of the Qin Dynasty!
In addition, the Dukang area is less than 100 miles away from Puyinxing, one of the eight passes of Taihang.
If the Qin army can control the Dukang area, it can pass through the Puyinxing to the west of Dai County and Yunzhong County, and directly form an east-west pincer attack on Zhao!
Yan State is willing to give such a precious land to the Qin Dynasty! ! !
Ying Zheng straightened his back and asked solemnly: "Really?"
Tian Guang did not answer, but winked at Jing Ke.
Jing Ke immediately picked up the square wooden box from Tian Guang's seat, and then walked quickly towards Tian Guang.
Tian Guang opened the wooden box, took out the Kunyu map from it, and shouted to Ying Zheng: "Here is the Kunyu map of Du Kang!"
"Foreign minister, please present the map!"
Ying Zheng was excited and shouted: "Allowed!"
Jing Ke stood still.
Tian Guang held the scroll in his hand and walked up the platform step by step.
He bowed again three feet in front of Ying Zheng and slowly unfolded the Kunyu map in his hand.
"Please look, King Qin."
"Living in the middle of Yan, it is named Du."
"Kang means wild. It is vast and boundless."
"This is the Du Kang of my Great Yan!"
With Tian Guang's movements, a corner of the Kunyu map was revealed, but the subtle handwriting on it made Ying Zheng unable to see clearly.
Ying Zheng could only order: "Come closer!"
Tian Guang took two steps forward and continued to unfold the Kunyu map: "This county is the southernmost county in Du Kang, named Shen Ze County, surrounded by rivers on three sides and close to a pond on one side."
"Therefore, this county has abundant water sources, fertile land, high yield per mu, and happy people."
Ying Zheng leaned forward unconsciously, and his voice became more urgent: "Come closer!"
Tian Guang stepped forward again, his hands kept moving, and he kept introducing: "This place is called Du Kang Slope..."
With the map in front of him and Tian Guang's careful and detailed introduction, Ying Zheng quickly understood the hydrology, farming, geographical advantages, climate and other factors of Du Kang like a sponge.
Combining these factors, Ying Zheng unconsciously began to think about how to govern this place and make full use of the value of this place, and his defense against Tian Guang became lower and lower.
Finally, Tian Guang walked in front of Ying Zheng, and the scroll in his hand was expanded to its limit!
