Chapter 395: What do you rely on to live alone? Wealth, loyalty, and many brothers!
Yan Dan unconsciously raised his voice and said emphatically: "Gu don't believe it!"
"Gu admits that he is eager for quick success and quick success, and he also did a lot of harm to his younger brother Zheng when he first entered the Qin Dynasty."
"However, Gu and Zhengdi have known each other since childhood, and they are the best friends of gentlemen."
"How could the friendship between Gu and Zhengdi disappear with just one word!"
Seeing the fire in Yan Dan's eyes, Ju Wu sighed in his heart.
Ju Wu could not completely deny Yan Dan’s words.
People who value righteousness exist, and kings who value righteousness also exist.
King Zhao of Yan, who restored Yan in the past, was also a loyal person.
However, Ju Wu cannot gamble with Yan Dan’s life on whether Ying Zheng is also a loyal person!
Therefore, Ju Wu shook his head: "Times have changed, things have changed, and people have changed."
"More than ten years ago, did the prince ever think that King Qin could return to his country and ascend the throne? Did he ever think that King Qin could send troops and send letters? Gu, destroy Han and Wei?"
"People will change"
"The current King of Qin only has hegemony in his heart, and there is no room for anything else!"
" The prince may still have some weight in King Qin’s heart, but if there is any obstacle to King Qin’s hegemony, King Qin will definitely put hegemony first!”
Ju Wu directly said that Ying Zheng was unloyal, but Yan Dan didn't believe it.
But Ju Wu said that Ying Zheng could not tolerate loyalty in his heart, but Yan Dan could not refute it.
If Ying Zheng’s heart had never been filled with hegemony and still retained loyalty and friendship, how could he not come to see him once a month on average?
Yan Dan's tone softened a bit, and he kept saying as if grasping a life-saving straw: "But all of this is based on the premise that the father broke the alliance."
" Although my father doesn’t care about the alliance, maybe he will decide to send troops this time!”
"Our country, Yan, has been repeatedly invaded by Zhao. Don't you want to take advantage of this opportunity to get Qin's help to regain the lost territory?"
"In this battle, Zhao's military strength will definitely be affected by Qin. This is right. This is a good opportunity for our country, Yan, to send troops!"
Ju Wu shook his head without hesitation: "This is absolutely impossible!"
"Looking at the movements of Zhao and Chu this year, Zhao The two kingdoms of Chu and Zhao must have agreed to unite. "
"Although Qin is strong, it is now a strong external force and a strong internal force. It is absolutely difficult to fight against Zhao and Chu at the same time."
"According to the king's character, the king may choose to form an alliance with Zhao and Chu and attack Qin."
"Or he may sit back and watch until the war between Qin, Zhao and Chu is over. According to The outcome of the battle will determine which country to send troops to."
"The prince also knows something about the king, how can he be so delusional?"
Even though Ju Wu has very little information, he can be sure. , this battle is definitely a tough battle!
Ju Wu believes that his colleagues in the DPRK will definitely come to the same conclusion.
Looking at the wars led by King Yan after he ascended the throne, we will find that the word "upright" does not exist in King Yan's dictionary!
With his own army of 600,000 and Zhao having just experienced a disastrous defeat in Changping, King Yan wanted to sign an alliance with Zhao first, and then launch a sneak attack when Zhao was unprepared.
Either join the Five Kingdoms Alliance and take advantage of the alliance to attack Qin.
Sneak attacks and using more to bully the less were King Yan’s war ideas.
Unless the heroic spirit of King Zhao is possessed by King Xi of Yan, there is no chance that Yan will agree to join Qin to fight a tough battle with Zhao and Chu!
Yan Dan really didn't want to accept this answer, but Yan Dan was unable to refute this answer. He could only nod bitterly: "What Taifu said is reasonable."
Seeing that Yan Dan accepted his argument, Ju Wu Finally he breathed a sigh of relief and warned in a deep voice: "Later, the master will lead his people into the palace to negotiate with the King of Qin. The prince will stay in the palace and prepare."
"Before entering the palace, the master will visit everyone. I have made good friends with the ministers of Qin and asked them to deal with it on my behalf."
"I will also negotiate with Qi travelers in advance to try to reach an agreement with Qi and deliver food, grass and baggage to Qin to complete the alliance."< br>
“As long as we don’t send troops, your Majesty will be willing to pay some price to protect the interests of Qin and Yan.”
"If the King of Qin is dissatisfied, I will do my best to win forgiveness."
Ju Wu said sincerely: "The king of Qin should also understand my king's character."
"If the King of Qin is If we really care about our friendship with the prince, we should not push each other hard."
"If the King of Qin still forces me, Dayan, to send troops even though we have tried our best, then..."
>"Prince, just run away!"
"Don't risk your life with your loyalty!"
Ju Wu said it sincerely, and Ju Wu would indeed try his best to win Ying Zheng's forgiveness.
If given the choice, Ju Wu would not want to escape!
Yan Dan's escape will not only further anger Qin, but will also completely cut off the friendship between Yan Dan and Ying Zheng!
Even if Yan Dan has ruined this friendship, this is still the biggest help that Yan Dan can help him successfully ascend the throne besides his status as the prince!
Yan Dan sighed deeply, his back became a little rickety, and he said in a bleak voice: "Thank you, Master."
Turn around, Yan Dan walked slowly towards the Walk inside the house.
The free and easy laughter of the rangers came from the courtyard, but for the first time, Yan Dan felt that this laughter was extremely noisy.
Rather than return to the banquet, Yan Dan bypassed the courtyard and returned to the bedroom.
Opening the door, a pair of short bows made of cork, decorated with rhinoceros horns on both sides, and with gorgeous patterns outlined with gold wire, came into view.
This wooden bow is very small and soft. It cannot shoot the enemy to death at all when placed on the battlefield. It can only laugh the enemy to death.
But this bow is not meant for combat, but for children to play and practice.
After Yan Dan's footsteps stopped for a few breaths, he walked into the bedroom more and more heavily, carefully picked up the short bow, rubbed it with his hands, and murmured softly: "I want to give you to brother Zheng."
"But Brother Zheng may have forgotten you a long time ago."
This is the first bow in life that King Yan gave to Yan Dan.
This is also Ying Zheng’s first bow in his life!
Yan Dan will never forget the time when he and Ying Zheng took turns holding this bow to poach birds in Handan Palace when he was a child, and then they were chased away by the eunuchs of Zhao State.
This time when he entered the Qin Dynasty, Yan Dan specially brought this bow with him. Yan Dan even thought about how to take out this bow casually during the hunting trip.
If Ying Zheng was so moved when he saw this bow, how should he present this bow to Ying Zheng in a free and cheerful manner.
It's a pity that Yan Dan has not been able to wait for the opportunity to give away this bow to this day.
Slowly sitting on the soft couch, Yan Dan carefully caressed every bump of the short bow with his hands. The past of his interaction with Ying Zheng in the past kept flashing through his mind, and he was speechless for a long time.
Four days later, at noon.
Ju Wu, with a haggard face and a dusty face, pushed open the door of Yan Dan's bedroom.
Looking at Yan Dan, whose eyes were bloodshot and still wearing the same clothes as four days ago, Ju Wu felt distressed, but he was not surprised. He just said warmly: "Prince, let's have lunch."
Yan Dan suddenly raised his head and looked at Ju Wu: "Master, is there no need to flee?"
Ju Wu closed the door and shook his head gently: "I will do my best to lobby all parties."
"However, the travelers from Qi State are unwilling to form an alliance with us, Great Yan, and directly agree to increase the number of 20,000 troops to reinforce the Qin army."
"The King of Qin asked me, Great Yan, to send 20,000 troops just like Qi. There is no need to make an alliance with Yan." Qin joined forces, but they needed to cross the border of Yan and Zhao and enter the territory of Zhao. "Wei Shi did not agree. The King of Qin has sent envoys to Yan to lobby our king."
Twenty thousand soldiers and horses were nothing to the heroes of the Warring States Period.
But these 20,000 soldiers and horses showed the stance of Yan and Qi to participate in the alliance!
At the same time, it will threaten the east side of Zhao State and the northeast side of Chu State, involving the energy and military strength of Zhao and Chu State.
Ying Zheng’s request is not excessive.
This is one of the terms of last year's covenant.
But the possibility of King Yan agreeing is extremely slim!
Ju Wu sighed helplessly: "Prince, let's go."
"When I returned to my residence, I realized that someone was following me."
"Wait. When the king clearly rejects the Qin envoys and even openly betrays the alliance, we can’t leave!”
The expectation in Yan Dan’s eyes completely disappeared, replaced by deep self-deprecation and anger.
I treat you as a close friend, but you treat me as a state affairs!
It turns out that the friendship between you and me was just wishful thinking from beginning to end!
“Crack!”
The short bow broke in half from the middle, and the broken bow string cut Yan Dan’s palm.
Yan Dan seemed to feel no pain, and threw away the blood-stained short bow, and said in a deep voice:
"Summoning all the righteous men."
"I need them!"
Ju Wu solemnly handed over his hands: "Wei!"
An hour later.
With hearty laughter, more than 800 rangers walked out of the Yan Kingdom House in groups and gradually blended into the crowd.
Two quarters of an hour later.
A ranger with a long beard got into a private house under the cover of several strong rangers. When he went out, he had become a long-bearded merchant in white, and strolled into a group of people. Yuezhi's caravan selling horses to Qi State boarded the carriage.
Another quarter of an hour later.
A gate guard at the east gate of Xianyang City nodded solemnly to the long-bearded merchant, then waved his hand as if nothing had happened and let the caravan leave Xianyang City.
Half an hour later.
More than a thousand rangers left the city and silently gathered towards the caravan, but they did not get close. They just formed a slightly loose circular defense circle with the caravan as the center.
At the back of the caravan, a face with a long beard appeared in a car window.
But if you look carefully, you will find that this person's face is the same as Yan Dan, and this person's long beard is also stuck on his face!
"Sure enough, a righteous person can rule the world!"
Looking at the rangers guarding the convoy from afar, Yan Dan felt a warm current in his heart: "There are always unjust people in the world. , but the righteous are in charge after all.”
"You righteous men are worthy of being alone!"
Yan Dan relied on three things to survive for so long: wealth, loyalty, and having many brothers!
Yan Dan only stayed in Xianyang City for a year, and most of the rangers in Guanzhong had already returned to Yan Dan.
Yan Dan even got to know a large number of seemingly inconspicuous people such as merchants, city gate guards, vendors, and pavilion soldiers.
On weekdays, they spent the money given by Yan Dan and enjoyed the respect given by Yan Dan.
And today, they have to escort Yan Dan to escape despite the strict Qin laws!
Where righteousness lies, there is no fear of life or death!
This is Yan Dan’s familiar way of getting along with each other.
Yan Dan's eyes turned to Xianyang City again, and the emotion in his eyes was replaced by anger and hatred: "A treacherous person, so lonely and lonely!"
The curtain dropped heavily, and Yan Dan sank. Voice command: "Speed up!"
The caravan began to speed up, trying to rush out of Neishi County before nightfall.
But they did not know that in the dense forest to the southeast of them, a pair of cold eyes had locked them firmly.
Pulling out the long bow from behind, Ying Chengyu ordered in a deep voice:
"Raise the bow!"
Baldness and hair loss not only trouble modern people, but also troubled the ancients. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period at the latest, formalized and institutionalized hairdressing techniques and wig and beard technology had appeared. There were also professional "chaishi" teachers in the Zhou palace who were responsible for making hairpin accessories, weaving various wigs and even wigs. Perform hairdressing techniques such as simple perms and straightening. So it is normal for Yan Dan to wear a wig and a fake beard.
