Chapter 943: A man will die for a confidant, and a woman will live for a man who pleases her! Please don't die!
Li Ke considers himself a qualified political creature.
Because of his family background, Li Ke, who has enjoyed wealth and honor since childhood and was respected by all parties, never thought that he would be moved by this kind of emotion.
But today, Li Ke’s defenses were completely pried open by Ying Chengyu!
There was no exhortation, no solicitation, no autographed letter from King Yan, and no additional conditions or requirements. He didn’t even show his face. It was just as if he was giving away a goose feather to make Wang Ben the four generals. The two great gifts of more than 10,000 Qi troops and the protection of three hundred miles of territory were given to Li Ke, giving Li Ke, the defeated general, the qualifications to leave his name in history and be granted the title of marquis and prime minister!
How sincere and righteous this is!
How free and generous this is!
Faced with Ying Chengyu’s behavior, no matter whether it is a world-famous beauty or a king of a separate country, they can’t help but fall in love with him, let alone Li Ke, who is the defeated general!
At this moment, there was only one sentence echoing in Li Ke's heart:
Li, how can you be so virtuous!
Averting his face and wiping away his tears with his sleeves, Li Ke said solemnly: "There is no need for Chang'an Lord and General Wang to worry about the peace talks between Qin and Yan this time."
"I will definitely win for the Qin Dynasty. The best interest!"
Wang Ben quickly persuaded: "There is no need for this!"
"Both the coach and I, Da Qin, have no demands on Li Shangqing, so Li Shangqing must not embarrass himself."
"Li Shangqing only needs to do his job as an envoy to Yan. There is really no need to do more!"
What Wang Ben said was true.
The State of Yan has suffered repeated defeats in recent years, and it is not a fertile and fertile country like the State of Qi. If the compensation paid by the State of Yan to the State of Qin is too heavy and the State of Yan collapses, then Lu Buwei Both Wei Liao and Wei Liao went crazy!
However, the more Wang Ben said this, the firmer Li Ke's heart became.
Mr. Chang'an showed kindness without asking for anything in return.
But if Li really showed no expression, then Li would be ashamed of heaven and earth!
Li Ke said seriously: "Xi Yurang said: As for Uncle Zhi, if a scholar from the country encounters me, a soldier from my hometown will repay him!" Which one is more important?"
"I personally think that Lord Chang'an's kindness to me is far more important than Uncle Zhi's kindness to Yu Rang."
"Now I can only do this. During the negotiation between the two countries, I already feel guilty, so how can I not do my best?” , when he joined Zhibo's sect and became a retainer, he was put into great use and respected by Zhibo.
Later Zhao Xiangzi killed Zhibo and used Zhibo's skull as a drinking vessel. Yurang then painted his body with lacquer to make his skin ulcerated, swallowed charcoal alive to make his voice hoarse, shaved off his beard and eyebrows to change his body shape, and lurked in Chiqiao ambush. Kill Zhao Xiangzi.
Although Yu Rang failed, Zhao Xiangzi gave Yu Rang a piece of his own clothes to assassinate, which made Yu Rang full of kindness and made Yu Rang famous as one of the four assassins!
In Li Ke's view, Zhi Bo only respected and valued Yu Rang, but Ying Chengxuan's kindness to him was more than just respect and valued him!
Wang Ben was horrified and said with great sincerity: "Li Shangqing sincerely does not need to be like this!"
"The commander-in-chief made it clear in his order that if Li Shangqing returned from the Yan army for a long time, he would have Make King Yan more suspicious.”
"If Li Shangqing continues to fight for the interests of our great Qin, the King of Yan may become even more jealous of Li Shangqing and cause Li Shangqing to be killed!"
"Therefore, the commander-in-chief has specially ordered this general to never force Li Shangqing out of favor. , Li Shangqing’s future should be your top priority!”
In order to make his words more convincing, Wang Ben even grabbed Li Ke’s hands, trying to convey his sincere feelings to Li Ke’s heart through his palms. !
Li Ke held Wang Ben's hand and showed a relieved smile: "Xi Yurang said: A man will die for a man who knows himself, and a woman will look good for a woman who pleases her."
"Chang'an You, you really know your own official!”
"It would be a pity to die for the great wish of Lord Chang'an!"
Wang Ben was going crazy!
That Yu Rang is an assassin under Zhi Bo, but you, Li Ke, are the top ministers of the Yan Kingdom!
You always push me to do something wrong!
And Lord Chang'an is not dead yet, so there is no need for you to risk your life to avenge Lord Chang'an!
Li Ke broke away from Wang Ben's hand, held it solemnly and said: "General Wang, please tell Lord Chang'an that there is no need to worry about Li."
"Li's position as a minister is not just due to the glory of his father. He came because of Li’s ability.”
“Li has been an official in Yan for a long time and is familiar with the character of King Yan.”
“Li will surely succeed in becoming the king of Chang’an. I wish!”
Wang Ben sighed in his heart.
All I want is for you to know what Lord Changan's wish is!
But Wang Ben also knew that the words he could say to Li Ke were not enough to bring back Li Ke's thoughts, and those words that could bring back Li Ke's thoughts could not be spoken frankly to Li Ke.
Wang Ben could only give in, and Haosheng warned: "I hope Li Shangqing will remember this."
"Saving Li Shangqing's life and helping Li Shangqing have a smooth future is part of the coach's plan."
>
“There is no need for the Yan State to cede its territory, which is even more so because of the commander-in-chief’s order!”
"Li Shangqing must not ruin the coach's plan!"
Li Ke's smile became more sincere: "I will never ignore Mr. Chang'an's good intentions!"
"General Wang Don't worry, I will obey the orders of Lord Chang'an!"
"I just need to trouble General Wang to cooperate with me later."
Wang Ben finally felt a little relieved. , but still asked anxiously: "How to cooperate?"
——
An hour later, Li Ke's roar of grief and indignation came from the Qin army camp: "Qin is so powerful that it can humiliate our great Yan at will!"
Wang Ben said softly. : "At the beginning of this battle, the three kingdoms of Dai, Yan, and Qi allied to attack Qin."
"Now the commander-in-chief of our army led a partial division to force the king of Qi to surrender, and also ordered my general to lead the main force of our army to force the surrender of Yan. King, this is a common occurrence on the battlefield, where is the insult? ""If the King of Yan is unwilling to surrender to our great Qin, I will continue to send troops to attack Yan, and then wait for the reinforcements of our army commander."
"Attack the Yan army from both sides, break through Jicheng, and capture the King of Yan alive!"
Li Ke shouted: "Don't threaten me!"
"In this generation, Wu'an Jun has led dozens of With tens of thousands of troops attacking Qin from the west, Lord Changan of Qin must quickly come back with reinforcements, so how can he have enough power to attack Yan?"
Wang Ben sneered: "How can a defeated general be worthy of Lord Chang'an of Qin?" Leading the expedition in person?"
"My Great Qin Generals Jian and General Wu have already led our great Qin warriors to wait for the day, and have been waiting for the army for a long time!"
Li Ke shouted in a deep voice: "Does Qin think that our king is as cowardly as the king of Qi?"
"We, the Yan ministers, must accompany my king and lead our Yan generals to defend the capital and fight Qin to the death!"
“At that time, Qin will not only fight against Dai and Yan, but also start a war on the east and west fronts.”
“Even if Qin is powerful, how can it last?”< br>
Then Li Ke softened his tone and said sincerely: "It would be better for Qin and Yan to reunite their alliance, and I, the Yan State, would give Qin money, food and supplies, and even send troops to help Qin State gather all its strength to attack Dai State. , the territory of Dedai! ”
"Injuring ten fingers of the enemy is not as good as cutting off one."
"It is better for Qin to attack the weak Yan Dynasty than to destroy it in one battle!"
After Wang Ben pondered for a long time, he solemnly handed over his hands: "Li Shangqing's words are like enlightenment, I will be taught!"
"I will report all Li Shangqing's words to my king, and let my king make a decision!"
Li Ke is pushing the envelope! He said: "This place is far away from Xianyang City. I think that before the King of Qin gives the order, Qin and Yan can temporarily truce, so as not to waste the national strength of Qin and Yan and make the country reap the benefits!"< br>
Wang Ben pondered again for a long time, then nodded and said: "What Li Shangqing said is very true!"
"However, the Yan army is not allowed to enter our territory of Daqin again!"
"In order to express my gratitude to Yan, The king is sincere, the king of Yan should first donate 500,000 shi of food to the Qin Dynasty, and return all the prisoners of our army!” Return to the north of the line between Tuo and Zhuo, and I will no longer send troops to pursue you."
"When the grain and grass prisoners enter our army, it is the time for the Qin and Yan armies to temporarily cease fighting."< br>
"As for whether the Qin and Yan armies can have a truce and whether they can form an alliance, it is up to my king to decide!"
Li Ke laughed loudly and said: "This is easy!"
"I will report back to my king now to raise food and fodder. I also ask General Wang to report to the King of Qin as soon as possible to help our Qin and Yan countries reunite as soon as possible!"
Wang Ben solemnly raised his hands and said: "This is also the case. This is what I want!"
After performing this embarrassing scene, Wang Ben sent Li Ke out of the camp with courtesy and sent his family soldiers to escort Li Ke back to the Yan army camp.
Looking at Li Ke's back getting further and further away, Wang Ben moved his rather stiff cheeks and sighed softly: "I just learned about the difficulties of Lord Chang'an today!"
"I just ask Li Shangqing not to do anything. You have to make your own decision!”
The order to send Li Ke back was indeed issued by Ying Chengxuan, and he had detailed discussions with Wang Ben before issuing this order.
But neither Ying Chengyu nor Wang Ben thought about gaining any benefits for the Qin Dynasty by sending Li Ke back. Their ideas were very simple and clear.
This battle has dealt a huge blow to the Yan State. We need to send some talents back to the Yan State to prevent the Yan State from collapsing!
As the son of Li Fu, the top minister of the Yan State, and a general of the defeated army, Li Ke was the most suitable candidate in terms of identity, resume, ability, and threat, so Ying Chengxuan and Wang Ben chose to release Li Ke.
But who would have thought that after Li Ke was released, he would suddenly become a loyal minister of Qin!
At this moment, Wang Ben finally vaguely felt a bit of Ying Chengyu's pain.
Neither Da Qin nor themselves have any idea of attacking the enemy country. They are even trying every means to help the enemy country preserve the country, racking their brains to think about how to let the enemy country live a few more years.
But unfortunately, everyone in the enemy country doesn’t want to live!
Finally, after taking a deep look at Li Ke's back, Wang Bi turned around and said in a deep voice: "Pass the commander's order!" The surrendered officers and soldiers "Jia Tangjiu, Lu Shao, etc. all obeyed Xue Liang's orders." The soldiers and horses of the headquarters continued to pursue the Yan army. After the Yan army sent 500,000 shi of millet and captured our troops into our army, they led their troops and horses to guard the Dukang area, closely guarding the movements of Dai and Yan, and waiting for the follow-up orders of the general. ! ”
“Pass this order”
"Except for the military officials who have joined the Qi army to supervise the battle, all of them will march westward with me!"
Under Wang Ben's command, all the messengers raised their hands and shouted: "Wei!"
