Chapter 1315 A Little Trick
That night Qin Yan stayed in Hu Xiaoxian's room again. Although indescribable things had happened last night, Qin Yan still felt that today was unforgettable.
Early the next morning, after Hu Xiaoxian said goodbye to Qin Yan, he took his people to look for spiritual flowers and spiritual grasses.
Qin Yan sat in the meeting hall and listened to people's reports.
Although Jian'an City and Wuji City were both under Qin Yan's name, there were still some scoundrels who were always looking for trouble, especially the former loyalists of the Marquis of Jian'an.
Just as Qin Yan was listening to the report, a guard's voice sounded outside the door: "Master Marquis, An Guohou has sent an envoy."
Upon hearing the guard's words, Qin Yan was silent for a moment and said, "Invite him in!"
The guard nodded and left.
After a while, the envoy from Marquis Anguo was invited into the meeting hall. This envoy was named Sun Ganglie.
When Sun Ganglie saw Qin Yan, he immediately saluted respectfully: "The little man Sun Ganglie has met the Marquis."
Qin Yan nodded, pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Sit down, what do you want from me?"
"Master Ji, it's like this. Our master wants to join forces with you to carve up the territory of Nanyang Marquis. I wonder if you are willing?"
Hearing Sun Ganglie's words, all of Qin Yan's men were extremely excited.
Now that Nanyang Hou is dead, Nanyang Hou's four cities are in civil strife. If Qin Yan and An Guohou can unite, it will be easy to swallow Nanyang Hou's territory.
"Master Marquis, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If we join forces with Marquis Anguo, we can definitely capture one or even two cities of Nanyang Marquis." One of Qin Yan's subordinates suggested to Qin Yan.
Others also agreed.
Qin Yan heard what everyone said, but felt that it was not realistic at all, and even smelled of conspiracy.
If he unites with Anguohou, even if he annexes Nanyanghou's territory, he may not be able to keep it, and he may even be annexed by Anguohou himself.
Now the situation of the three of them is like that of the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu. The strongest among them is An Guohou. If one of them is destroyed, the other one will soon follow suit. If they unite to resist An Guohou, they can still Maintain a situation of three kingdoms standing side by side.
Qin Yan shook his head and said: "I have no interest in annexing other people's territory. You go back and tell An Guohou that if he wants to do this, let him do it!"
Sun Ganglie originally thought Qin Yan would agree, but he didn't expect Qin Yan to say this.
He immediately started admonishing again: "Master Ji, you must think twice before you act! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
At the same time, Qin Yan's subordinates also asked Qin Yan to reconsider.
Qin Yan waved his hand: "I have already said that I have no ambitions and have no feeling for other people's territory."
Sun Ganglie did not expect Qin Yan to be so stubborn. He was just about to persuade Qin Yan again, but Qin Yan stood up: "Okay, that's it for today, Tong Guan, you entertain the envoy well."
After that, Qin Yan left the meeting hall.
People in the hall looked at each other, not expecting Qin Yan to do this.
"Mr. Sun, please!" Tong Guan made a gesture of invitation and said to Sun Ganglie.
Tong Guan is the guard captain who was just promoted by Xiao Zhan.
In Anguo City, An Guohou was sitting on his chair. When he saw the communication talisman sent back by Sun Ganglie, he immediately tore it into pieces and said: "Jining, you are a treacherous person, you actually saw through my plan. "
It turns out that An Guohou nominally wanted to unite with Qin Yan, but in fact he wanted to take away Nanyang Hou's territory first, and then annex Qin Yan's territory.
He originally thought that Qin Yan would be fooled for profit, but who would have thought that Qin Yan would actually see through his conspiracy.
An Guohou thought for a while, immediately wrote a communication talisman and sent it to Sun Ganglie.
He asked Sun Ganglie to tell Qin Yan that if Qin Yan was unwilling, he would attack Nanyang Hou's territory himself, but he had to take a road through Jian'an City, hoping that Qin Yan could make it easier.
After Sun Ganglie received the communication talisman from An Guohou, he immediately paid a visit to Qin Yan.
"Master Marquis, our Marquis just said that if you are not willing to cooperate with him, he would like to use a road to pass by your Jian'an City."
If An Guohou wants to attack Nanyang Hou's territory, he must pass through Qin Yan's territory, because Qin Yan's territory is between their two territories.
Of course, Anguo Hou could also take a detour to attack Nanyang Hou's territory, but that would have to go through other people's territory, and others would definitely not allow him to do this.
Qin Yan said with a smile: "I have just been promoted to Lord Marquis. Our place is too chaotic and it is really inconvenient for your army to pass. Let's wait until we have settled the internal matters!"
Hearing what Qin Yan said, Sun Ganglie was very depressed.
He thought for a while and said: "Master Ji, we, the Marquis, will definitely not disturb you. Just let us pass. After all, there is constant civil strife in Nanyang Marquis' territory, and it is the best time to eliminate them."
"Sun Ganglie, it seems that your attack on Nanyang Hou's territory is your business. Why should I make way for you?"
"Master Ji, when you say this, you don't think of our master as a friend. Our master sincerely wants to make friends with you."
Sun Ganglie lowered his face and prepared to use An Guohou to suppress Qin Yan.
Now that An Guohou is much stronger than Qin Yan, he feels that doing this may have unexpected results.
Hearing Sun Ganglie's words, Qin Yan first narrowed his eyes and looked at Sun Ganglie coldly. Suddenly Qin Yan couldn't help laughing: "Treat me as a friend. You are not kidding me, are you? He should think Annexing me is real.”
Immediately afterwards, Qin Yan suddenly lowered his face and said to Sun Ganglie: "Boy, let me tell you, you'd better not use An Guohou to suppress me, otherwise I will kill you."
Although there are regulations in various places that it is not allowed to kill messengers, there are still some people who do not abide by this rule.
"Tong Guan, please send Messenger Sun away! If he dares to stay in our Jian'an City within an hour, kill him." Qin Yan raised his head and said to Tong Guan who was standing outside the door.
Tong Guan walked in from the outside, first saluted Qin Yan respectfully, then turned his head and said to Sun Ganglie expressionlessly: "Please!"
Sun Ganglie still wanted to speak, but he opened his mouth several times and finally did not say anything.
He knew in his heart that Qin Yan was a person who didn't play by the rules. If he talked too much, Qin Yan would most likely actually attack him.
Even if An Guohou kills Qin Yan by then, he will still be dead.
Sun Ganglie sighed in his heart and followed Tong Guan away.
This time he failed to complete the task of Marquis An Guo. Sun Ganglie will definitely be punished when he goes back.
