Chapter 324: Nine Cities? No, no, no, thats just an appetizer!
Zhao Shuo did not embarrass the stingy man in the post house. After asking his family elders to stuff some small money into the stingy man, he ordered people to invite Yan Chunjun back again. As for whether Yan Chunjun should go or not, it was up to Yan Chunjun himself to decide.
.
So, Zhao Shuo once again asked people to invite Yan Chunjun back.
Zhao Shuo did not leave Lord Yan Chun in his mansion. This was not because he did not want to, but because Lord Yan Chun asked for it, because he was now a bereaved dog and would be laughed at by others when he entered Lord An Guo's mansion.
, so he chose to avoid it.
Zhao Shuo also knew Yan Chunjun's situation, so he arranged for Yan Chunjun to live in a manor outside his city. Although this small manor was not as good as Yan Chunjun's former mansion in Jicheng, Yan State, although the sparrow was small
It has all the necessary organs and everything it should have.
"I can't drag Mr. An down any more!" Mr. Yan Chun said looking at the only guard Jueying who followed him. He was grateful to Jueying. After the disaster, his former retainers walked and ran away, but only Jueying remained.
Got off.
With Jueying's ability, he would be taken seriously wherever he went. He also wanted Jueying to leave, but Jueying only replied to him, saying that he would protect him for ten years and would not leave until the ten years were up.
"If I die, you can go to the Mo family. With your strength and loyalty, the Mo family will kill you!" Yan Chunjun actually prepared a way out for Jueying.
Jueying didn't speak or answer.
However, when he returned to the small manor, Zhao Shuo's housekeeper came.
Yan Chunjun was a little confused. Zhao Shuo had just come to find him, why was he here again now?
"Don't worry, I will leave soon." Yan Chunjun said directly, thinking that the ladies in Zhao Shuo's house couldn't tolerate him, so they came to drive him away. As for Zhao Shuo, he had no doubts.
"Yan Chunjun misunderstood. It was the emperor who summoned you, but the head of the family didn't know why the emperor summoned you, so he asked Yan Chunjun to come to the house to explain." The family elder hurriedly explained, so as not to cause any gap between Yan Chunjun and Zhao Shuo after his return.
"Summoned by the Emperor Yao?" Yan Chunjun was even more surprised. He knew Jin Yao, but was not familiar with him. He never thought that Jin Yao would use him, because his reputation in Yan State was not much better than Ji Dan.
Naturally, I don’t think Zhao Guo will use him.
Yan Chunjun had nothing to deal with, so he returned to Zhao Shuo's mansion with Jueying.
"The emperor summoned him, maybe he wants to reuse Brother Ji!" Zhao Shuo also made speculations during this time. Jin Yao had no useful people in Zhao State. In addition to the support of the generals, there were only one Gongsun Long and the recently rising Guo among the civil servants.
open.
So Zhao Shuo's guess is that Jin Yao wants to use Yan Chunjun, because Yan Chunjun has no power in Zhao State, and it is safe to use such a person.
On the way, Yan Chunjun also analyzed the situation in Zhao State and got the same answer, that is, Jin Yao wanted to use him!
Not much else to say, at least after the Yan State has been in power for many years, he still has a certain degree of confidence in his political ability. He cannot be as talented as Shang Yang or Zhang Yi, but he is more than enough to be a Jiuqing.
.
"I'm afraid I will have to support Brother Ji in the future. You must know that Brother Ji and the Emperor share the same ancestry!" Zhao Shuo said with a smile.
He didn't think about this when he accepted Yan Chunjun, but things in the world are unpredictable. No one thought that Yan Chunjun would one day rise again, and he and Jin Yao were from the same ancestry.
Good deeds are rewarded, and providing help in times of need is worth cherishing more than adding icing on the cake. That's it.
If Yan Chunjun really serves as the ninth minister of the Zhao Kingdom, then Zhao Shuo may really need Yan Chunjun's support in the future.
"Hopefully!" Yan Chunjun also smiled. If he was really reused by Jin Yao, it would be a good idea to transfer Zhao Shuo away from the bitter cold and remote Gaoliu.
"In that case, I will inform An Guozai and ask him to send you to Handan!" Seeing that Yan Chunjun agreed to go to Handan, Zhao Shuo used his remaining connections to ensure that Yan Chunjun could go to Handan safely.
Yan Chunjun nodded. He didn't think there was anything else worthy of Jin Yao's covetousness. The only possibility was that they shared the same ancestry and were connected by blood.
Soon, under the arrangement of An Guozai, Yan Chunjun went to Handan to pay an audience in the palace.
When he came back to the Handan Palace, things had changed. When he came, he was the prince of Yan State, but now he is a homeless man. And the Mohist debate leader who was not standing above the court has become
The king of Zhao and the emperor of Zhou.
Jin Yao and Yan Chunjun looked at each other in silence, and were filled with emotion for a moment.
"Yan Chunjun is old!" Jin Yao sighed. Calculated, Yan Chunjun is only about forty years old. He is in the prime of life. However, this is a big change, but his hair is full of vicissitudes.
"People will always grow old!" Yan Chunjun replied with a smile, having already seen a lot.
"In the battle between Yan and Zhao, Gu captured the nine cities of the Yan State, but could not find suitable candidates to control Wu Sui, Fangcheng and other nine cities. Therefore, Gu decided to establish Guangyang County in Zhuo and appointed Yan Chunjun as Guangyang County.
Governor Yang!" Jin Yao didn't say anything else and directly stated his purpose of looking for Lord Yan Chun.
After all, it is the land of the Yan State. The person who knows the Yan State best is Lord Yan Chun, and there is no need to worry that Lord Yan Chun will rebel, so the most suitable candidate is Lord Yan Chun.
Especially with Yan Chunjun's connections in Yan State, it was easy to bring those old officials of Yan State to Zhao State.
"The State of Zhao does not intend to return the nine cities of the State of Yan that it occupied?" Yan Chunjun had already learned about the outcome of this war on the way here, so he thought that the State of Zhao did not intend to occupy them all.
"Why should we repay? Not only will we not repay the nine cities, but we will not repay the 140,000 surrendered soldiers. In addition, I will also pay half of the former Donghu!" Jin Yao said domineeringly.
If the 140,000 surrendered soldiers are not returned, the State of Yan will never be able to resist the demands of the State of Zhao. If Fangcheng continues to attack, Yan will be destroyed. This is not something that the State of Zhao can afford now, but it does not mean that Jin Yao intends to let it go.
Yan State.
Therefore, after Pang Nuan and Li Mu returned to Daijun, they would send troops from the grassland to attack the Donghu grassland that Yan had taken the opportunity to destroy.
This is also to test the combat effectiveness of the new army trained by Pang Nuan, and to train troops!
After all, only soldiers who have seen blood are truly complete soldiers who can fight in a battle. To the west is Qin and to the east is Yan. Anyone who is not stupid knows that persimmons should be pinched by the weak.
"Can the State of Zhao afford it?" Yan Chunjun directly put himself in Zhao Chen's position to plan for the State of Zhao.
The 140,000 troops and the newly captured nine cities will seriously hinder the pace of Zhao's reform.
"This...gu is not short of money!" Jin Yao smiled.
The assembly line was still pointed out by him and the Mo family. Together with the cattle and sheep on the grassland, Zhao State does not lack the means of production now. It only lacks people who can use these tools to open up wasteland and cultivate fields. And with the addition of 140,000 troops, that will
The fertile land that can be cultivated is difficult to estimate.
"It's said that the emperor got the treasure left by the Zhou Dynasty, and now I believe it!" Yan Chunjun smiled, not caring where Jin Yao got the money. In short, there is no shortage of money.
