Looking at the back of the madman walking away, Prince Ke of Yan State was unhappy, and asked Xiang Lu, who had gone to the city to pick him up, "Who is this?"

Xiang Lu smiled slightly: "The messenger from Zhongshan is said to be Zhongshanzi's most trusted slaughter"

"Zhongshan Kingdom!?"

His light words caused huge waves in the Prince of Yan's heart.

The founding monarch of the Yan Kingdom was Zhao Gongshi. As a small sect of Ji surnamed Yuanzhi, he occupied a place among the many brothers of King Wu because of his outstanding talents. After the Battle of Muye, King Wu of Zhou entered Chaoge, Duke of Zhou held a big tomahawk, and Duke Zhao of Shao held a small toe, and held the ceremony of offering sacrifices to King Wu of Zhou on the left and right, declaring the guilt of Di Xin to heaven and the people of the Shang Dynasty, which shows the importance of his status. Gao was a meritorious clan alongside Duke Zhou and Taigongwang.

After the demise of the Shang Dynasty in Dayi, Duke Dan of Zhou and his heirs were enfeoffed in the Dongguo, responsible for the expedition against the Dongyi, while Duke Zhao was enfeoffed in Yan (Yan) in the northern border, to pursue the remnants of Yin and Shang in the north, and defend the Rong and Di. Duke Zhao himself was not given the title. He stayed in Zongzhou to assist King Kang, and his son Ke became the first-generation Marquis of Yan.

In this way, hundreds of years have passed. After Chidi and Baidi occupied the central part of Hebei, the state of Yan broke off contact with the princes of the Central Plains, and only had occasional contacts with Jin and Qi, so there was no sense of existence. The more famous incident, apart from being attacked by Shan Rong and asking Qi Huan Gong for help, was more than 40 years ago when Yan Hui escaped.

In 539 BC (Yan Huigong six years), Yan Huigong wanted to get rid of the doctors and reuse his confidants, but it was revealed that he was expelled by the doctors and fled to the state of Qi. How could Qihou Chujiu miss this opportunity, so he asked Jin to let Qi attack Yan and **** Yanhui Principality. Jin Ping's hegemony has declined, and he is unable to interfere, so he can only express his approval, which is equivalent to acquiescing Qi to include Yan State into his sphere of influence. Since then, the State of Yan has become Qi's partner. Duke Yan Hui married his daughter Yan Ji to the Marquis of Qi as his wife. Whenever Qi's alliances and expeditions, he likes to take Yan State to act together.

However, the close relationship between the state of Yan and the state of Qi cooled down for a while after the death of the Marquis of Qi, and it came to an end when Zhao Wuxi conquered the state and let the cavalry show off on the border of the state of Yan.

In the past, there was no direct threat to the state of Yan from the state of Jin, and it was only possible to contact them through Xianyu Baidi, who traversed Hebei, but now it is different. More than a thousand iron cavalry of the Zhao family can go out of Banquan, and join the military capital Xing and go straight to Juyongsai of the state of Yan. , threatening the safety of the capital thistle.

So Yan Guo was in a hurry, and after Zhao Wuxi asked Yu Xi to pass the word, saying that he had "no malicious intentions" and hoped to meet Yan Hou, Yan Guo immediately sent people to meet him.

Yanhou should have come in person, but perhaps because of his location in the northern cold land, the Yanhous of previous dynasties were short-lived, and the first king, Yanhouke, died of typhoid fever a few years before he arrived in the north. Now this bad news is coming again. Yan country. As if he was cursed, Duke Yan Hui died as soon as he arrived in the State of Yan, and the State of Yan established a new ruler, Duke Yan Miao, but as a result, Duke Yan Miao died a few years later, and the next Duke Yan and Duke Yan Ping were weak crowns. The age of succession, but no one can live past the age of forty.

Now that Duke Yan Ping is dead, another generation has passed, and now it is Marquis Yan. The crown prince of Yan State, Ke, came to see Zhao Wuxi.

Prince Ke is a hairy guy, and he has no experience in major recruitment. He was late in the heavy snow on the road. He was already nervous, but he was even more nervous when he met someone from Zhongshan at the door.

Because the relationship between Yan State and Zhongshan is very bad.

Before he could think about how to deal with it, the door inside opened again, and Zhao Wuxi personally invited Prince Ke to enter.

Prince Ke hurriedly took off his fur coat covered with snowflakes and mud spots, and went inside with only deep clothes. After entering, he saw Zhao Wuxi sitting behind the desk, with a solemn appearance and dignified clothes, more dignified than his father, the king of the country. , suddenly panicked, and stammered out the nonsense of greeting him with the bishop. The general meaning is that the country of Yan lives in the north, with difficult traffic and lack of news. For this reason, he missed Zhao Shangqing's inauguration and wedding, and specially asked the prince to make amends, and congratulated the Zhao family for destroying Dai Rong and going out for a frontier trouble for the Yan country.

After stumbling over, Prince Ke was about to bow down.

"Prince is exempt." Zhao Wuqi smiled and lifted him up and looked up and down. Maybe it was because he was in the north. Prince Ke was fair-skinned, tall and handsome. The half-old child took responsibility, and some forced him.

He is like a little lamb that doesn't rhyme with the world, and will be chewed and eaten whole by Zhao Wuxi, a seasoned politician who eats people and doesn't spit out bones!

"Prince, have you seen the envoy of the Zhongshan Kingdom who went out just now?"

Prince Ke said nervously: "I saw it, I don't know I will meet you here in Shangqing."

"Then do you know what he said to me here?"

"I don't know, kid." Prince Ke said honestly.

Zhao Wuxi laughed loudly: "Zhai Li said that since the Zhao clan has already been destroyed, more than ten thousand elite soldiers will be sent to the place of generation. If the military capital road is near the Juyong Fortress, it is advisable to go up. Zuoren and Zhongren, if they are in a bitter city, then both can be taken! If the Zhao clan and Zhongshan join forces, the state of Yan will be destroyed!"

"Ah!" The prince of Yan Kingdom was shocked, and the chopsticks and chopsticks in his hand fell directly into the cauldron containing the wine.

Two hundred years ago, Zongzhou was destroyed, the King of Ping moved eastward, and the state of Yan cut off contact with the Central Plains and was surrounded by Rong and Di. His ancestor Yan Huanhou was afraid of the disaster of Shanrong, so he took refuge in Linyi in the south. It was not until Duke Huan of Qi attacked Shanrong and cut the orphaned bamboo that he moved thistle again. However, the palace of Linyi was still preserved, so Linyi Yi called it "Xiadu", Ji called it "Shangdu".

After the rise of Zhongshan Kingdom in central Hebei, the lower capital of Yan Kingdom began to face their threats directly. On the North China Plain, where there is no danger to defend, Zhongshan’s invasion may happen at any time. After all, in Yan Kingdom’s view, this They are an alien race that is as savage and hateful as Shan Rong. Although they are far away from the Central Plains, their culture is not necessarily much higher than that of Zhongshan.

But Yan Kingdom came from a prominent background! This alone is enough for the Yan people to despise Zhongshan.

In the past, the state of Yan mainly relied on the state of Qi for protection. Now that the state of Qi is surrounded by Zhao's allies, it is difficult to protect itself. Once Zhongshan persuades the Zhao family to attack jointly from the south and the north, even the young prince Ke will know the situation: this It's simply a disaster!

He hurriedly bowed down again, gritted his teeth and said: "Xianyu Baidi ugly, coveted my lower capital and will not die! Shang Qing must not obey!"

Zhao Wuxi tapped on the case and said, "Prince, you should understand one thing first. A few years ago, the six ministers of Jin State were in chaos, and Qi State tried to interfere and invade Lu State. In that battle, Zhongshan was on Zhao's side. Yes, it is the friend state of the Zhao family, and the state of Yan, if I remember correctly, is on the side of the state of Qi, and it is the enemy state of the Zhao family, not to mention.”

He pointed to the pile of agate sent by Zhongshan and the wrong silver two-winged beast on the mat and said, "In order to convince me to attack Yan together, the gift that Zhongshan sent is indeed very precious."

Prince Ke's heart tensed~lightnovelpub.net~ hurriedly said: "The country of Yan also has treasures! The land of Yan is vast, deer antlers, gold and silver, famous horses, everything can be presented to Shangqing!"

Wu Chi smiled and said: "The horses of the State of Yan are indeed good things, but I already have a generation, and there is no shortage of horses. In addition, although I am interested in the State of Yan's fish, salt, dates, chestnuts, mulberries, thistles, iron, etc. I am interested in things, but the trade between Jin and Yan is separated by Zhongshan, and the transportation is not easy, I am afraid that it is difficult to obtain, and it is out of reach.”

"This this"

Seeing that Crown Prince Ke had already started, Zhao Wuxi stopped teasing him, leaned forward and said, "But these are not what I want the most, what I want is the guarantee of Yan Kingdom."

Prince Ke seemed to have grabbed a straw and hurriedly asked, "What guarantee? Yan Guo will do it!"

"I know that Yan Ji, the daughter of Duke Yan Hui, is the mistress of the state of Qi, and the state of Yan has a good relationship with the Chen family. But now, I want the state of Yan to immediately sever all ties with the state of Qi and the Chen family, and completely return to the Jin alliance. How did people serve the state of Qi before, and how will they serve the Zhao clan in the future, huh!?"
