Chapter three hundred and ninety-four the wind is Xiaoxiaoxi Yi Shuihan
Wusui is just a small city located on the border of Zhao and Yan. Both Yan and Zhao believe that this city should belong to them, and every expedition of Yan starts by occupying this city. Because of its important geographical location,
The kings of Zhao State would strengthen its city defenses in the hope that it would play a role in the war with Yan State, because it is very close to the capital of Yan State, and Zhao State can directly threaten Yan State if it occupies this place.
The royal capital.
However, Wu Sui was very close to the Yan State, but far away from Handan. In the Yan-Zhao wars in these years, Wu Sui was always the first to be attacked by the Yan people, and Handan was unable to rescue him in time. After experiencing the Yan people's attack, Wu Sui
After the Zhao people counterattacked the city, the Yan people attacked the city again, and the Zhao people counterattacked again, the city was considered abandoned... The city walls were in tatters, and the people in the city were fleeing in all directions. There was not much left, and the cultivated land was barren...
.I really can’t find a single advantage.
Therefore, when Wang Jia of Zhongshan came to this city with his ministers, the ministers all lowered their heads and looked decadent. Even if they were unwilling to admit it, they already knew in their hearts that there was no hope. Only Wang Jia of Zhongshan, see
He didn't feel any disappointment. He looked around with a smile. When he saw the sad ministers, he smiled and said: "I heard that Yan State sent General Le Yi to attack Qi State."
"The State of Qi could not stop it. King Qi was captured and the city fell. General Tian Dan of Qi State defended the last city. There were only two cities left in the State of Qi. However, Duke Tian used these two cities to successfully defeat
The Yan people have regained their territory... Today's Zhao State is so similar to the original Qi State! One day, we will definitely be like Tian Gong, defeating our enemies and taking back our city
!”
Jia's words had some effect, and the officials cheered up again.
After arriving at Wusui, Zhao Jia immediately ordered the ministers to build the city wall, arrange for the people who came with him, reclaim the surrounding farmland, build roads to the Yan Kingdom, etc. After all the ministers were busy doing things, the Yan Kingdom
The ministers came to see Zhao Jia and told him that the King of Yan wanted to meet him very much and asked him to go to the capital of Yan to meet the King of Yan. After seeing off the envoy of the Yan State, several ministers around Zhao Jia started talking.
A minister said: "Your Majesty, I heard that King Dan of Yan is a vicious thief who killed his father. If it were not for the Qin State, we would not have good relations with the Yan State. Now if you visit the King of Yan, you may
Being held hostage by him and controlled by him, even if he didn't do this, meeting a parricide will stain your reputation." The other ministers agreed, but Zhao Jia shook his head and said:
"What you said is wrong. The reason why I gave up Zhongshan and came to Wusui is because I can get assistance from the State of Yan here. If I don't express my respect for King Yan, then what will happen to us when we come to Wusui?
What's the point?" Zhao Jia stood up and said: "I must go to see King Yan... and show enough respect." The ministers did not object anymore and made preparations for Zhao Jia to go to Yan Kingdom.
Prepare.
Before leaving, Zhao Jia entrusted the state affairs to Zhao Li, the Prime Minister, and told him that if he could not come back, he would find a worthy descendant of the clan to inherit the throne. Zhao Jia was prepared to be humiliated and left.
After defeating Wu Sui, he rushed to the capital of Yan State. What he didn't expect was that King Yan was not as cruel as the rumors said. King Yan came out of the city to greet Zhao Jia and even cleaned the dust on the road for him with his own hands.
This was somewhat different from what Zhao Jia had thought beforehand. Zhao Jia was a little moved. He stepped out of the carriage and paid homage to King Yan. King Yan took his hand and they walked side by side. The people of Yan were welcomed. Zhao Jia originally thought
, Yan Dan, who was notorious for killing his father, must have ruled brutally and toughly in the Yan Kingdom, because he needed to suppress the people in the country who were dissatisfied with him, but he did not expect that the people of the Yan Kingdom did not seem to be dissatisfied with the King of Yan.
On the contrary, it is very...respectful?
Yes, the people of Yan State respected King Yan very much. Zhao Jia saw the people cheering enthusiastically towards their king, and King Yan also raised his hands to salute them in return. Zhao Jia realized that the rumors might be wrong. Maybe Yan Dan
Regicide was simply a lie fabricated by the Qin people. The two entered the palace, and King Yan led his ministers to host a banquet in honor of him. Zhao Jia had been on the throne for so long, and finally experienced the feeling of being a king for the first time.
"I have long heard of King Zhongshan's reputation for being young and benevolent. Today I can finally meet you. This is really something worth celebrating!"
"To be honest, before I arrived, someone said: If you go to Yan State, you will definitely be humiliated! I was prepared, but I didn't expect that you would actually come out of the city to greet me. I am really ashamed," Zhao Jia said.
Then, Yan Dan laughed and chatted with him about the war on the front line. Zhao Jia said bitterly: "The one who led the Qin army in the battle was Ma Fujun of the original Zhao State... You probably know that he never lost a single victory.
, there is no way a meager general can defeat him."
"Speaking of which, in this war, my army didn't even catch up with him. It was defeated inexplicably. I couldn't even figure out what happened." Zhao Jia said, but Yan Dan was a little stunned.
Of course I know, he is very familiar with it... He sighed and said: "I know this matter... Let's not mention these things for now. Since you have come to Yan State, let me do my duty as a landlord...
.Come here, serve the wine!”
The two chatted while drinking. They were both young people and faced the same enemy. They actually had a lot in common. The relationship between Zhao and Yan was very bad, and the war between the two families was very serious.
Frequently, the two families have never lived in such harmony. Remembering that the Yan State was repeatedly defeated by the powerful Zhao State, the King of Yan was very angry. In a rage, he named his son Dan.
The two chatted about the current situation and the difficulties in the country. In the end, they gave up their political masks and even talked about their past experiences. Only then did they realize that they had so much in common.
As kings, they had a lot of things in their hearts that were inconvenient to reveal, but they could tell their troubles to another king, and the two soon became inseparable friends.
"Let me tell you, you still have to be prepared to evacuate. Qin's intentions are already clear... I'm afraid it will be difficult for Yan to stop it. Why don't you manage Liaodong well? Liaodong is a bitter and cold area, and Qin may not be willing to waste it.
They have to pay a huge price to seize it. If they really want to seize Liaodong, we can move to the north from here... There is an endless wilderness land!"
"Escape? You want to abandon your ancestral land and flee to a barbarian land? How can you do that? There is no farmland and no houses there..."
"What's the point? When Gou Jian endured the humiliation, wasn't it a successful revenge? If there is no farmland, we can cultivate it; if there is no house, we can build; if there is no population, we can persuade those barbarians to surrender, teach them how to farm, and open up
Our territory...Qin is now very powerful and cannot be stopped, but I don't believe that it will continue to be strong. One day, Qin becomes weak...my descendants will launch an attack...to take it back
The ancestral land of Zhao State!" Zhao Jia said drunkenly.
Yan Dan still shook his head and said, "I won't do that."
"Of course, this is the last resort. If possible, who would be willing to give up?"
Yan Dan hesitated for a long time, and then said seriously: "I have a plan that I want to tell you." When Zhao Jia saw Yan Dan being so serious, he knelt down in front of him to calm himself down and asked:
"Please tell me, I will never tell anyone else."
"It's like this... I heard that Ying Zheng of Qin State came to Zhao State and lived in Handan... This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If we can send someone to kill him..."
"What did you say?!" Zhao Jia was stunned and sobered up instantly. He shook his head and asked, "You want to assassinate King Qin?"
"Yes, the King of Qin is in Xianyang, and we really have no way to kill him, but now that he is in Handan, this is a good opportunity."
"Are you crazy? Don't mention whether you can successfully kill the King of Qin in Handan, which is heavily guarded by soldiers. Even if you kill him, it will definitely trigger the revenge of the Qin State... At that time, Wu Chenghou will bring dozens of
Tens of thousands of troops came to attack Yan State, have you ever thought about this?" Zhao Jia's eyes widened and he was a little panicked. Yan Dan said seriously: "The King of Qin is young and strong, and he wants to realize one king in the world...
We are no match for him."
"I don't hide it either. I used to be friends with him... No one in Yan country knows him better than me... If he doesn't die, the countries will not have peace for a day... As for what you said, I
I also thought that once the King of Qin dies and the prince is young, perhaps an uprising will break out in South Korea and Wei, and Chu and Qi will not let go of such a good opportunity. If Qin is worried about domestic and foreign affairs, maybe we will have a chance to save our country.
Already."
"perhaps???"
Zhao Jia looked at Yan Dan in front of him in fear, and said: "Please give up this idea... The strength of Qin lies in its system, not because of the King of Qin. Besides, Qin has Lu Buwei and Wuchenghou
These people, even if you kill the King of Qin, it will not have any impact. It will only anger the Qin State... You must not act like this." After hearing Zhao Jia's persuasion, Yan Dan thought for a while and said with a smile:
"Okay, I will listen to you."
Zhao Jia breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a smile: "That's good, that's good."
The two chatted again. After a few days, Zhao Jia asked King Yan to resign. The reason for Zhao Jia's resignation was naturally to go back to rectify his troops and prepare for defense. Yan Dan personally sent him out of the city.
, just after leaving the royal capital, Zhao Jia hurriedly urged the driver to speed up and return to Wusui. The accompanying minister asked: "Your Majesty, King Yan is so polite, why do you have to leave in a hurry?"
"The King of Yan wants to kill me and offer my head to the King of Qin!"
"Ah?" When the minister heard this, he was shocked.
Zhao Jia hurriedly fled the Yan Kingdom. It was not until he left the Great Wall that he breathed a sigh of relief. Yan Dan was really crazy. After returning to Wusui, he summoned his ministers and said: "Please be prepared to evacuate."
." The officials were puzzled and asked the reason, but he didn't say anything. He just asked everyone to build more carriages and prepare more horses and oxen. After sending Zhao Jia away, King Yan summoned a warrior in the palace.
This warrior was tall, sitting upright in front of Yan Wang Dan, frowning.
"Why did you let him leave?"
"He doesn't want to. I can't kill him just to achieve my own goals. He treats me as a friend. How can I kill my friend?" Yan Dan said with some disappointment. Sitting in front of him.
The warrior said angrily: "I heard that it is not worth delaying the affairs of the country because of one person's friendship. You want me to kill the King of Qin, but you refuse to give me a gift that can give the King of Qin or get close to him.
How can this happen?"
"Zhao Jia doesn't have much troops. You can attack him and kill him."
Yan Dan looked at the warrior in front of him, shook his head and said: "He came to join me in order to restore the country, and he agreed with me to resist Qin together. I can't kill him for his own sake. If you think it can't be done, then please
Please leave." The warrior laughed. He stood up, bowed to King Yan, and said: "You value love and justice and are a trustworthy gentleman. I am willing to do this for you!"
King Yan looked at him in surprise. Was he testing himself before? Yan Dan didn't blame him for his behavior. He asked: "But there is no gift for King Qin, and there are many warriors around him.
How do you want to get close to him?" The warrior said seriously: "If Zhao Jia is willing to make sacrifices, it will be convenient. If he is not willing now, we can find other ways."
"Now that the State of Qin has been destroyed by the State of Zhao, and the King of Qin is an arrogant man, you can send an envoy to present the map of the State of Yan, promise to cede the land of the State of Yan to them, and express your desire to make friends with the State of Qin... We
Put the dagger inside the map and kill him while presenting the map." The warrior paused and then said: "Please prepare a sharp dagger for me..."
"Then where should I present the map?"
"Dukang."
King Yan agreed to the warrior and searched for daggers everywhere. The warrior was called Jing Ke. He was from Wei. He traveled around the world when he was young. He was good at studying and fencing, and he was generous and chivalrous. At first, he paid homage to King Wei and told him his strategy.
He asked Wei Jun to abandon the Wei State, but Wei Jun refused to use him. He began to travel to various countries to study and make friends with local warriors. In Yuci, he discussed swordsmanship with the famous warrior Gai Nie. Gai Nie did not agree with his swordsmanship.
He glared angrily and left from there.
He played a game with the local Lu Goujian in Handan and argued about the way to play. Lu Goujian got angry and scolded him, but Jing Ke escaped silently and never saw each other again. Finally, he came to the state of Yan and met the local man
The dog butcher made friends with Gao Jianli, who was good at building buildings, and became close friends. Jing Ke was particularly fond of drinking, so he drank with the dog butcher and Gao Jianli every day in the Yan market.
They were singing in the street market, entertaining each other, and soon they were crying with each other, as if there was no one around.
Even Tian Guang of Yan State respected him very much.
After King Yan got help from the warrior Bu Geng, he wanted to attract more warriors to help him. He soon heard about Jing Ke's reputation and went to see him. Jing Ke very rudely asked him to buy him wine.
The King of Yan did not get angry and bought him good wine. Only then did Jing Ke put away his arrogant appearance and was willing to help the King of Yan to achieve great things.
The King of Yan bought a sharp dagger from a Zhao man named Mrs. Xu. He used a lot of platinum and asked the craftsman to quench poison on the dagger, and then used it to stab the criminals in the country. As long as it hurt their skin,
None of these people were immortal, so King Yan packed the dagger and gave it to Jing Ke.
