Chapter 951: Not Allowed to Write Official History? Then We Can Write Unofficial History! What I Want Is Peace in the World!
Carrying the hopes of the whole country, Li Ke led 500 guards to leave Lingzhi Pass and headed for the Qin army camp.
The historians of Yan State were eager to go with Li Ke, and the historians of Qin State were eager to get into the tent, wanting to record this lobbying that was related to the survival of Yan State, the development of the world, and even a milestone in the history of the Warring States Period.
But neither the historians of Qin State, Yan State, nor the accompanying personnel of the Yan State envoys were able to enter the Qin army tent with Li Ke.
They could only watch Li Ke walk into the Qin army tent with his head held high at noon on January 25 (11:00).
He walked out of the Qin army tent with a flushed face and weak steps at sunset on January 26 (13:00).
Looking around at the impatient, worried eyes, Li Ke first bowed to the Qin army tent, then turned to the Yan envoys and shouted excitedly: "Qin Chang'an Jun is a benevolent gentleman who does not want to see the suffering of the people."
"Qin Chang'an Jun has agreed to our Great Yan's request and will personally lead the elite Qin army to the north to Yuyang County to mediate the war between Yan and Dai, giving the people a chance to live!"
"Our Great Yan will not perish!"
Hearing Li Ke's call, all the Yan envoys shouted excitedly: "Congratulations to the Prime Minister!"
"Our Great Yan will not perish!!!"
The deafening sound wave rushed towards Li Ke.
Li Ke, whose excitement faded, could no longer support his body, and fell backwards with his back facing the sound wave!
"Prime Minister!"
"Is Prime Minister okay?!"
"Is there a doctor among the Qin army? I will not hesitate to pay a large sum of money, just to find a doctor to treat my Great Yan Prime Minister!"
The Yan envoys rushed to Li Ke in panic, and hurriedly carried Li Ke to the open space, begging the Qin army to find a doctor for them.
The historians of the two countries and the ministers and generals who love history were in a dilemma.
Dai State not only did not avenge Qi State, which was in a state of alliance, but instead seized the young and strong people of Qi State by trickery, and even turned its spearhead to attack another ally, Yan State, forcing Yan State to seek help from Qin State, which was in a state of alliance and joint attack.
Qin Chang'an Jun put aside the hatred and war between Qin and Yan, and went north as the enemy's commander to mediate the war between Dai and Yan.
Qin Changan Jun's expedition this time was not only an expedition that changed the general trend of the world, but also an important event that further trampled on the sanctity of the covenant and made people in the world less trustful of the covenant. In the future, when countries form alliances or become enemies, they may mention this as an example.
Such an important and significant historical node, they must not turn a blind eye to it, but how should they write it?
How did Li Ke convince Ying Chengjiao? They don't know at all! ! !
"Because of the assassination of the King of Qin by the assassin sent by Yan Prince Dan, Qin Chang'an Jun hates Yan deeply. What means and words did Yan Xiangke use to make Qin Chang'an Jun let go of his prejudice and be willing to lead the army to mediate the war between Dai and Yan?"
"Yan Xiangke entered the central army tent at noon yesterday and left the camp at sunset today. I have heard that Qin Chang'an Jun despises women. If Madam Han had not taken Xiaoxing for him when he was not prepared, Chang'an Jun's mansion might have no women. Looking at Yan Xiangke's unsteady steps, could it be that Yan Xiangke betrayed..."
"Hiss~~~Be careful! Be careful! Do you want to die?! I thought Yan Xiang Ke took advantage of the fact that Qin Chang'an and Yan Xiang Ke were alone in the tent, and drew his sword to threaten Qin Chang'an. The two of them were deadlocked for more than a day before Qin Chang'an compromised! "
"Listen to what you are saying! That was Qin Chang'an who killed the enemy generals and charged into battle! Although his bravery was inferior to that of the captain, his bravery should not be underestimated. If Qin Chang'an and Yan Xiang Ke were alone in a room, Yan Xiang Ke should be the one who was terrified! "
"Don't forget the style of historians, and record it truthfully!"
The historians and history enthusiasts muttered behind the crowd, and speculated about everything that happened in the big tent.
Finally, the historians took out the bamboo slips and wrote a line of text together:
[Li Ke persuaded Qin to make Chang'an Jun raise troops to stop the war.]
A major event that could rewrite the world's pattern was carried by a mere bamboo slip.
But how could just twelve words express the excited emotions of the historians?
Several historians looked at each other, smiled and bowed at the same time, retreated to a distance, took out another bamboo slip and wrote with ink.
And in the distance, those history enthusiasts who were not burdened by the style of historians were writing with shining eyes, and in a short time, they had already written half a volume of brilliant chapters!
In just a quarter of an hour, countless gossips that were passionate, witty, or not suitable for children were fabricated, and would be accepted by historians dozens or hundreds of years later and become a good story recorded in official history.
No one knows.
Ying Chengjiao in the central army tent did not have the sudden enlightenment after being enlightened, nor did he have the shame and fear after being threatened by the sword, nor did he have the posture of a sage who had just put on his lower garment.
What he had was only several consecutive burps.
"Burp~"
After another burp full of alcohol, Ying Chengjiao took the hawthorn, plum and tangerine peel sobering soup handed by the fortune teller and drank it up.
"Huh~"
Spitting out a mouthful of satisfied white mist, Ying Chengqiu said dizzily: "Prime Minister Li is indeed an old minister who has been in the officialdom of Yan State for his whole life."
"Your drinking capacity is really strong!"
"I can hardly beat him!"
The fortune teller laughed and said: "The reason why Prime Minister Li can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk is that it is because a good horse meets a good horse trainer and a wise minister knows a wise master. He can't help but be overjoyed, so he is greedy and doesn't want to get drunk."
Ying Chengqiu also laughed and said: "Prime Minister Li is like this, and so is I!"
"In the battle of Xibanyu, Prime Minister Li was defeated and fled. This made the generals despise Prime Minister Li, thinking that Prime Minister Li was only lucky enough to be the minister because of his father's reputation."
"Although he is somewhat talented, he is just mediocre."
"Of course! After a long conversation last night, I realized that although Prime Minister Li was born in a general family, his talent lies not in the battlefield, but in internal affairs."
"His understanding of the people's livelihood and sentiments in the Yan region and the strategy he proposed to determine the north are even more eye-opening for me."
"I don't know what time it will be when I see you next time, Mr. Li. How can I spend such a good time sleeping soundly?"
"It's a pity that this general is not good at internal affairs. He can only listen to Li Xiang's sharing, but he is unable to judge."
"If Prime Minister Li is lucky enough to return to Qin in the future and does not hesitate to take the position of minister, I can recommend Prime Minister Li to Brother Wang, and Brother Wang will make the final decision."
Everyone outside the tent was speculating on what method Li Ke used and what words he said to make Ying Chengyu willing to lead his army to mediate the battle, and why the two were in a stalemate for more than a day.
However, the truth is far less bizarre.
Li Ke: Your Majesty! I know very well the state of Yan's treasury, as well as the real estate of the two counties in western and eastern Liaoning. After asking Qin for peace with grain and cloth, the strength of the Yan state has been exhausted. I thought that I could ask Yan to offer 300 catties of gold and 5 million shi of millet. Pay it back in three years, half a million pieces of cloth in two years, and ten thousand horses in two years, in order to ask your Majesty to mediate and stop this war!
Ying Chengyu: This reward is very heavy. I was afraid that Yan would not be able to bear it, and I was also afraid that Dai would take advantage of Yan's fatigue and attack Yan again. It is said that Gaoyi (not the Goguryeo regime established by Jumong, but a bear-worshipping totem including the ancient Goguryeo tribe) Composite nation.) The local ginseng has the charm of Codonopsis ginseng, which can be used to offset the gold cloth.
Li Ke: Your Majesty is benevolent and righteous! I should admonish the King of Yan to drive Gaoyi to the east and seize all the ginseng from Gaoyi to offer to the Qin Dynasty!
Ying Chengyu: There’s no need to go overboard.
Li Ke: Your Majesty Wanwang puts the interests of Great Qin first!
Ying Chengqiu: In this case, there will be a sign of labor and Li.
Li Ke: If you don’t give up, you can call a certain son Shi!
Just seven short sentences of reply determined the life and death of the Yan Kingdom!
For the rest of the time, Ying Chengyu and Li Ke didn't talk a single word about the battle.
Ying Chengyu chatted about domestic affairs and got closer to each other, and by the way taught Li Ke how to arrange his troops and resist the Dai army.
Li Ke had been planning for this meeting for a long time, and told him all the key data about the Yan country's customs, terrain and grain production, as well as his thoughts on the policy ideas of the Qin Dynasty in governing Yan.
For a full thirteen hours, the two drank and chatted without stopping. This made Li Ke look haggard and hollowed out when he left the military tent.
After the hexagram master pondered for a moment, he said seriously: "It can be seen from this that it is not that the Yan country has no talents, but that the king of Yan has no discernment, let alone the ability to help talents to show their talents!"
Ying Chengyu nodded with emotion and said: "How can such a huge country of Yan not have talented people?"
“How can there be no righteous people in a land of generosity and lamentation?”
"It's just that the King of Yan has lost the support of the people, and that's why the state of Yan is in decline!"
Gold will always shine.
There is nothing wrong with this sentence, but it can only be used to talk about gold.
Because there is no upper limit to the life of real gold, you can wait quietly for the day when it shines, but there is an upper limit to human life.
I don’t know how many people live until their longevity is exhausted, but they can’t wait for the day when they can shine!
But is this the talent’s fault?
This is the fault of the system, officials and kings!
Ying Chengyu's feeling of cherishing his talents became stronger and he ordered: "This soup tastes very delicious. Eight husbands, you will personally hold a pot and give it to Li Xiang."
"Five more soldiers will be left to take care of Prime Minister Li. At the beginning of tomorrow, Prime Minister Li will be awakened and persuaded to return to King Yan as soon as possible."
"The credit for this achievement must be firmly grasped by Prime Minister Li!"
The eight masters immediately handed over their hands to accept the order. The eight masters also heard the sound of the strings and knew the elegant meaning, and took Ying Chenglong's armor from the side.
With the soldiers wearing armor, Ying Chengyu strode out of the military tent.
Li Ke had already been carried back to the camp to rest by his own soldiers, but the Yan envoys were still waiting outside the tent eagerly.
Facing the expectant eyes, Ying Chengyu took the halberd from the hands of the hexagram master and said in a deep voice: "What I want in my life is for the world to be peaceful, to have no wars, and for the people to be prosperous!"
"Yes!"
"Dai Guo first coerced Yan and Qi to attack our country Qin, and then ignored the cries of the people of Dai, ignored internal affairs, and did not relieve natural disasters. When the King of Qi asked for surrender and the King of Yan sued for peace, he coerced hundreds of thousands of people who could not survive the war. The suffering Qingzhuang launched a surprise attack on the Yan State, which yearned for peace. "
"The king's cruel and unkind behavior, his bellicose behavior, and his desire for war have caused more than a million people to suffer from the war, and their families have been destroyed!"
"I can't bear to look at it! I can't bear to hear it! I can't tolerate it!"
"Pass this general's order!"
"Let's make rice tomorrow (3:00)."
"Break camp at sunrise (5:00)."
"The whole army goes north, stop the war and seek peace!"
To seek peace, you can seek peace at the cost of ceding territory and donating grain, grass, and cloth.
It can also be to beat the enemy until he kneels on the ground and begs!
Ying Chengyu issued the order immediately, and the officers and soldiers of the three armies shouted in unison:
"only!"
