Chapter 388 The silk book arrives
Zhao Guo, Handan.
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Prime Minister Zhao Zhong Lean was sitting behind the desk, and a young man was sitting in front of him.
Looking at the young man in front of him with a smile on his face, Gong Zhongle asked softly: "What do you think of the senior official of the State of Wei?"
Recalling the previous conversation with the other party, the young man couldn't help but have a look of appreciation on his face.
"This senior official of the Wei State is indeed very talented."
If Xu Yan were here at this moment, he would definitely be able to recognize that the person sitting in front of Gong Zhongle was none other than the young master of the State of Zhao, Zhao Yu, who had just asked him for advice.
The reason why Zhao Yu came to see Xu Yan today was not on a whim or without purpose, but because he accepted Zhao Xianggong Zhong Le's request.
After recounting the contents of his conversation with Xu Yan and greatly appreciating the three suggestions he made, a look of regret appeared on Zhao Yu's face.
"It's such a pity that such talents cannot be used by our country, Zhao!"
While Zhao Yu sighed with regret, Zhao Xianggong Zhong Le, who was sitting opposite him, couldn't help but have a trace of thought on his face.
Gong Zhongle did not have much doubt about Xu Yan's talents; however, Gong Zhongle had some concerns about the three suggestions he made.
If Xu Yan's three suggestions are implemented, the State of Zhao will have a great chance of becoming stronger. However, in the process, the State of Zhao will inevitably have to form a good relationship with the State of Wei.
The importance of the stability of the Three Jin Alliance to Wei is self-evident, and Zhao's choice is undoubtedly what Wei wants to see.
It can only be said that the position determines the perspective. Although Xu Yan is offering advice and suggestions to the State of Zhao, he is still a minister of the State of Wei after all.
Thinking of this, thinking of Xu Yan who is now in the State of Zhao, thinking of the abundance of talents in the State of Wei, and then thinking of the lack of talent in the Zhao State's court, a lament appeared in Gong Zhongle's heart.
After thinking for a moment, Gong Zhongle couldn't help but look to the opposite side, and Zhao Yu's young face was reflected in his eyes.
"The future of Zhao State depends on you, Young Master."
…
Although he had been traveling all the way, Xu Yan's trip to Handan did not have many twists and turns.
Not long after arriving in Handan, Prince Zhao Yu paid a visit, followed by a summons from Zhao Hou Zhao Zhong.
Facing the Wei envoy Xu Yan who came to him, Zhao Zhong bluntly put forward the condition that he was also a member of the Zhao Kingdom.
Zhao could agree to Wei's call to stop the war, or withdraw its army that was at war with Qi, but Qi, as the weaker party, needed to agree to Zhao's conditions.
All the expenses required by Zhao State to send troops in this war will be borne by Qi State.
Not only that, the cities of Qi captured by Zhao during this war will all be included in Zhao's territory after the war.
Xu Yan, as the envoy of Wei State, did not have much objection to the conditions proposed by Zhao Zhong.
It is always the winner's right to set conditions, and there are only two choices that the loser can choose.
Either you can grit your teeth and accept such humiliating conditions with unwillingness in your heart;
Or sternly refuse, hold the sword in your hand again, and spell out a different destiny.
It was obvious that in the eyes of the Wei State, the Zhao State, which also belonged to the Three Jin Dynasties and flourished in the war, undoubtedly had such power.
Moreover, the State of Wei obtained sufficiently generous benefits from the State of Qin during this war. What it needs now is to truly transform these benefits into solid national strength.
For the strategic consideration of stabilizing Zhao, a powerful ally, and the alliance of the Three Jins, Wei did not mind Zhao getting something from Qi.
Without any hesitation, Xu Yan clearly stood on the position of Zhao's ally and expressed his support for Zhao.
Xu Yan's statement was immediately appreciated by Zhao Zhong, and a grand banquet was held in Zhao's palace.
As night fell, a carriage drove out from the Handan Palace Gate and stopped in front of the Zhao Guo Pavilion.
After returning to his room, Xu Yan lit the dim lights above the tables, picked up his ink pen and wrote seal characters one by one on the silk book.
In the early morning, when the rooster wakes up the rising sun, this silk book leaves Handan City together with the morning light.
…
"Your Majesty, please report to the doctor Handan."
Taking the silk book from the eunuch's hand and taking a rough look at the contents, Wei Feng couldn't help but draw a curve at the corner of his mouth.
After a few breaths, the smile on Wei Feng's face faded and he placed the finished silk book in front of the eunuch again.
"Give this silk book to Sima, and he will know how to deal with it."
"Here."
Wei Feng's judgment was not wrong. After receiving the silk letter, Sima Sun Boling welcomed the Qi envoy Zou Ji to his residence.
Immediately afterwards, the silk letter that had just been sent from Handan to Anyi took a big turn and arrived at Linzi, the capital of Qi.
At this time, in the palace of Qi State in Linzi City, Qi Gongtian Yin Qi was wearing armor and holding a long sword, watching the two martial artists around him with vigilance.
Since the Wei State led a coalition of princes to attack Qi State, the young Tian Yinqi felt that Qi State's combat power was insufficient, so he set up a special school in the palace.
Tian Yinqi hoped that through his leadership, he could inspire the military spirit of the Qi state and reshape the invincible Qi army under Sima Rangju.
In recent days, Tian Yinqi has devoted almost all of his time to this school after his spare time in government affairs.
Or compete with others for speed in driving, or compete with others for accuracy in archery.
Tian Yinqi would even sometimes pick up the sword himself and fight with elite soldiers in the army, just like the scene before him.
"Come on, come on."
The two martial artists heard Tian Yinqi's shout and glanced at each other subconsciously.
When the worry in their eyes disappeared, a fighting spirit appeared on their faces, and then they saw the two of them using their feet to rush towards Tian Yinqi.
Seeing the two people approaching quickly from the opposite side, Tian Yinqi not only showed no fear on his face, but his fighting spirit became even higher.
"Okay, good time."
With the long sword in his hand moving, Tian Yinqi rushed forward to meet a martial artist.
With a "clang" sound, the two long swords collided together. There was nothing wrong with the martial arts here, but Tian Yinqi on the other side was staggered by the huge force.
Just at this moment, another martial artist had already arrived in front of Tian Yinqi. He had no time to dodge and could only kick out subconsciously.
There was a dark "bang" sound, and the other martial artist was seen taking several steps back.
After one round, Tian Yinqi was at a slight disadvantage. Just when he was about to fight again, a report sounded in his ears.
"Your Majesty, military advisor Anyi has urgently reported."
The urgent report from Anyi temporarily interrupted the battle, and Tian Yinqi had to turn his attention to the silk book written by Zou Ji himself.
But after reading the content above, Tian Yinqi's anger was immediately ignited.
"Wei and Zhao have bullied our Qi State too much, too much."
In anger, Tian Yinqi looked back at the two martial artists standing opposite.
"Come and fight again!"
