"Your Highness should know that the princesses of the five kingdoms is the princess of Zhao. Do you know the whole story?" Zhou Chong was really good at talking about it, and he actually gave this matter as a reason to fool Yan Dan.

Throughout the dynasties, the harem was powerful, and Yan Dan would not not understand this principle. When Zhou Chong said this, he widened his eyes and speculated: "Is this matter related to Zhao State?"

It didn't matter at all, but Zhou Chong slammed his hands and said in admiration: "Your Highness is wise! That's right. You know this. The king wanted to destroy Han. The next target was Zhao. Zhao was already very uneasy. So he used the king's marriage to send the most beautiful and intelligent princess to the Qin Dynasty to win the favor of the king. In fact, Zhao planned to win the support of Qin through the princess and support them to destroy Yan."

Fighting for chips for politics through the harem is a conventional way of struggle between countries. Chu State was able to maintain its relationship with Qin State with the strength of the harem. Yan Dan dared not doubt it. He was so shocked that he said pale: "Have the King agreed?"

"The king first is Gu Quan's friendship with His Highness, and secondly, he did not agree to consider that he could not allow Zhao to be strong. Zhao proposed the conditions to give Du Kang to Qin, and then divided three for every ten Yancheng to Qin." Zhou Chong used the benefits he got from King Zhao as a bargaining chip and pressed Yan Dan, saying, "Your Highness, you know that Du Kang is the important place of Yan State, and even the map presented by Yan State to Qin State is not marked. Who can refuse such benefits?"

The deal was too generous, and Qin had no reason to refuse. If the deal was really done, Yan would be 100% finished. Yan Dan's hands were white and stared at Zhou Chong. His chest was fluctuating sharply.

He was really scared. Zhou Chong pretended not to see it, and then said, "Do you know why Zhao State put forward such generous conditions? After all, they are planning to make small plans. If Du Kang does not return to Qin, but to Zhao State, Zhao State will be strong immediately. This is something that the king cannot tolerate. If Du Kang returns to Qin, and other Yan State cities also belong to Qin, even though Zhao State is much stronger, it still cannot pose a threat to Qin. The king can tolerate it. Zhao State's intentions are sinister!" After speaking, he sighed.

As Zhou Chong said, these cities belonged to Qin. Zhao State got the other Yan City, which was much stronger, but still could not pose a threat to Qin State. The King of Qin could not spare his hands to deal with Zhao State when he destroyed Han, so he could only choose to tolerate it.

This is a very reasonable explanation. Yan Dan dared not disbelief and gritted his teeth and asked word by word: "So, the king agreed to Zhao's attack on Yan?"

Zhou Chong blurted out an undecided fact and said, "No. How could Your Highness think so? Did Your Highness ever think about why Zhao State planned so? To put it bluntly, Zhao State wanted to strengthen itself before the Qin army was over. It is unlikely to attack Qin. So if you get the city of Yan State, Zhao State can attack insufficiently. If you have more than enough defense, you will have the strength to fight against Qin. Do you think the king will agree?"

Yan Dan breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Why did the king detain Yan Dan?"

Zhou Chong smiled and said, "Your Highness is wrong. It's not that the king detains you, but that the king asks you to stay. Your Highness, please think, if the king does not keep your Highness, but allows your Highness to return to the country, before the Qin Dynasty destroyed Han, this is not to tell Zhao that the Qin Dynasty and Zhao State would be unwilling. This will be unfavorable to me, Daqin. Your Highness wants to govern the country. Take it seriously: don't break the face with the enemy before you have no strength! Although Han is small, he will also hold on to Daqin's leg. The King also had no choice but to do it.

"Besides, keeping Your Highness is also warning Zhao State not to do anything randomly. Your Highness is in Qin State for one day, and Zhao State is uneasy. The reason is very simple. Your Highness is not only a friend of the king and in Qin State, but also in Qin State, so you can negotiate conditions with Qin State at any time. Yan and Qin State are joining forces, which is a deterrent to Zhao State."

This is not unreasonable. Yan Dan's face looked much better and asked, "Mr. Zhou, Yan Dan still has something unknown. Even so, why doesn't the king give Yan Dan freedom? He can't even leave this house."

House arrest can allow you to move freely. In that case, it is better to call house arrest, but Zhou Chong said, "Your Highness, this is the king's painstaking efforts. One way, Zhao State has many assassins in Xianyang, and the king is worried about your disadvantage. You know, Zhou Chong, I, had it been assassinated several times. If the king had not been smart and sent someone to take care of Zhou Chong, Zhou Chong would have been dead long ago."

This is the truth, Yan Dan had to nod and agree.

Zhou Chong listed the second reason: "Besides, the king should also consider it from the Qin position. If he doesn't pretend to show it to Zhao, can Zhao be at ease? If Zhao is uneasy and is anxious to jump over the wall and attack Yan regardless of the Qin Dynasty, the Qin Dynasty will not be able to intervene when the Han Dynasty is destroyed. Therefore, the king has no choice but to treat His Highness."

This made sense, and Yan Dan said blamingly: "Yan Dan did not understand the deep meaning of the king and hated the king. It is really not true. As long as Yan State is safe, what is Yan Dan's hardship?

Zhou Chong excused him and said, "This is human nature, Your Highness doesn't have to take it to his heart. Now, Zhao State is frustrated and has begun to attack Yan State despite the opposition of the Qin Dynasty. He will not give up until the Yan State is destroyed."

Yan Dan's face turned pale just now and said, "Please save Mr. Zhou and save my country."

"The king has not decided on how to deal with the military affairs between Yan and Zhao. This is the reason why the king asked Zhou Chong to come to see His Highness." Zhou Chong once again covered up the purpose of the King of Qin and said: "The ministers in the court are talking a lot, and a faction believes that the troops should be sent to attack Zhao immediately."

Yan Dan clenched his fists with both hands and blurted out: "It should be like this! Zhao State is powerful, and the Qin Dynasty will never let Zhao State be rampant."

Zhou Chong ignored him and continued to say, "Although your highness's words are good, this is not the way to plan the country. Those who plan to plan the country should seek the best interests. Yan and Zhao's war seem to be unfavorable to the Qin Dynasty. If they do not obey the orders of the Qin Dynasty, they actually do all the benefits to the Qin Dynasty without any harm."

Yan Dan did not dare to agree with Zhou Chong's opinion and said, "Mr. Zhou is a bad word. Zhao is strong and Yan is weak. In time, Zhao will definitely destroy Yan State, and Zhao will become stronger by then. If Qin does not intervene, it will be too late to regret it."

Zhou Chong shook his head and said, "What Your Highness said is reasonable, but that is also a matter in the future. It is still possible that Zhao State can destroy Yan State, and even if Qin is talking about it, it will not give him a chance. Wang Jian, Meng Wu and other experienced people asked the king to prepare for the attack on Zhao, but don't rush to send troops."

Yan Dan interrupted Zhou Chong and asked, "Mr. Zhou, why is this?"

Zhou Chong smiled and said, "Wang Jian and Meng Wu were planning to take advantage of Zhao's deep into Yan territory and lead the front line to a long time. When the teacher and the veterans were tired, they sent troops to attack Zhao. This plan took Sun Bin's intention to surround Wei and save Zhao. With such a light blow, they could break Zhao. In the past, Yan and Yan City were all in Zhao's cities. It was legitimate to attack the Qin army and incorporate it into the territory. What should we do instead of doing it?"

"Ah!" Yan Dan jumped up in shock when he said Zhou Chong.

What Zhou Chong said was exactly what he wanted to do with Xiao Zhao, and Yan Dan didn't expect it. He was not scared to death when he heard this. It was good that he was not scared.

After being stunned, Yan Dan calmed down and asked, "Mr. Zhou, what is the king planning to do?"

"This is still a question. The king of the king of the wise and wise naturally adopted the strategy of Wang Jian and Meng Wu: prepare for the war and slow down the attack." Zhou Chong blew the magic snail for the King of Qin and said, "This benefit is real. Don't say that the king's shrewdness is, even Zhou Chong, there is no reason not to disagree with me."

Yan Dan said irritably: "This is this..."

Zhou Chong knew that he was scared Yan Dan enough. The time was coming, and it was time to get the benefit. He comforted Yan Dan and said, "Your Highness, don't panic. In fact, whether Yan's country can survive is not Qin or Zhao. But Yan itself. Your Highness wants to ask why Zhou Chong said this. This principle is clearly stated. If Yan resists Zhao Yue fiercely, the more difficult it will be for Zhao to attack. It is very simple to make Yan's country resist tenaciously. As long as you get the support of Qin, Zhao must have concerns and will deploy heavy troops on the western front, and the army that attacks Yan will be weak. Second, the army and civilians of Yan will fight to the death."

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, that's right!" Yan Dan almost sang it. He asked, "Mr. Zhou, how can he get the support of Daqin?"

Zhou Chong helped him out of his advice. He said, "The king is in trouble for this. He is in a hurry to send troops, but the generals object. He is not in a hurry to send troops, and I am sorry to your friend, your highness. What should the king do with it, your highness has to decide."

Yan Dan understood what Zhou Chong meant, that is, Yan State had to give enough conditions so that the King of Qin could agree to send troops immediately. After thinking about it, he said, "Ten Cities."

Zhou Chong shook his head and said, "Your Highness also understands that as long as you adopt Wang Jian's suggestion, the Qin general will only spend some effort to win the two countries. How can you care about just ten cities?"

This is the truth. Anyone knows that this is impossible. Yan Dan adds another bargaining chip and says, "Thirty cities."

Zhou Chong still shook his head and said, "In addition to the words of Du Kang, the king may agree to send troops immediately."

"Mr. Zhou, you are too cruel." Yan Dan was a little angry.

Zhou Chong was exhausted and said, "The benefits of this city and two countries are obvious. Your Highness will not be unaware of it. Since Your Highness thinks that Zhou Chong is not good at it, Zhou Chong said goodbye. Zhou Chong also wants to go back to help the king plan to accept the two countries. He has a lot of affairs and is very busy. Please understand. Your Highness, you should think about it slowly here. After thinking about it, you can send it to the king. It is possible that the king will have a banquet for the ministers in Jicheng."

He arched his hands and was about to leave. Yan Dan bit his teeth and said, "Okay, Mr. Zhou, I promise you. However, this is a big deal. Yan Dan wants to return to China and say he knows it with his father."

He wanted to take the opportunity to escape, and Zhou Chong attacked him again and said, "Your Highness compiled a letter to explain the danger. The king will send someone to you. As for when your Highness will return to the country, it depends on when the King of Yan gives me the city to the Qin Dynasty. Also, if the Qin Dynasty wants to send troops, it must be justified. If the King of Yan asks the Qin Dynasty to send troops, this matter will be better handled. Zhou Chong's words are not worthy of making a decision. Even if your Highness has heard of it, you don't have to take it to your heart."

This is a thoughtful word, but it is not a word. Yan Dan's lip bleeds and said, "Okay, I agree, I agree all!"
