Chapter 233. Covenant

Yan State, Jicheng.

The State of Yan has existed since 1044 BC. His ancestor was King Wu of Zhou, the younger brother of Zhou Zhaogong.

In the 7th century BC, the Yan State expanded to northern Hebei and western Liaoning, annexed Ji State and established its capital in Ji, which is now Jicheng.

In front of Jicheng Gate where Gao Changgong, Zhang Yi and others came, they only felt that the city was sad, empty and lofty.

Once upon a time, Jicheng was once glorious! But to this day, because the ancestors of the Yan people have always advocated the kingly way and did not pursue the domineering, the Yan Kingdom gradually declined.

Prime Minister Zizhi confused the King of Yan with charming words and asked him to abdicate to himself, but Prince Ji Ping disagreed, and thus chaos in Yan was everywhere.

However, because the son's power was too great, Prince Ping and his old subordinates were defeated and were even driven out of Jicheng.

In front of Jicheng City Gate, many people gathered under the city wall to cook the fire, and the sky was a little dark and cold.

The wind blew, pricking people's bones! Countless people were lying around a huge fire, talking.

The flames burned, rushing upwards, and the dry firewood made crackling sounds.

Zhang Yi and Gao Changgong merged into it, sat next to them, watching countless military horses rushing out.

Gao Changgong stretched out his hand, moved closer to the fire, and then smiled and said, "Everyone, what's wrong with Yan State?"

A farmer-like man replied: "Did you come from another country? You don't even know the chaos in Yan?"

"A merchant in the Wei Kingdom."

The six Shandong countries were still somewhat repulsive to Qin, and even had something to say, but they were unwilling to tell the people of Qin.

This is a typical regional discrimination! Therefore, whenever you go out, the Qin people always lied that they were from Wei.

The old farmer said bitterly: "It's a long story. Because the prince and the prime minister seized power, Jicheng has fought dozens of battles of all sizes."

Zhang Yi was shocked: "In this way, aren't the people suffering?"

"Who said no!"

The old farmer lowered his head bitterly, and the faces of the others around him also showed a look of disappointment.

This damn Warring States Period is really harmful! "Come on, start on, the Prime Minister has an order, and everyone is not allowed to gather under the city wall. Those who violate the order will be killed without mercy."

For some reason, the heavy army that came out of Jicheng began to drive away the people under the city.

Gao Changgong could probably guess what Zizhi was meant, probably because he was afraid that these spies who had Prince Ping in public were hiding in public.

In this way, it is better to kill by mistake than to let go! Now, I have to show my identity.

Zhang Yi stood up and asked the black-robed general in charge, "General, I am the envoy of Qin, and I have something to ask for the King of Yan."

The black-robed general looked so sarcastic, looking at Zhang Yi, who looked like a scholar with malicious intentions, and asked, "Are you from Qin?"

Under the drowsy sky, his fierce and evil appearance seemed particularly scary.

Zhang Yi calmly said with a smile: "That's right, please report to the general!"

Taking a deep breath, this general was really ugly! The military people always had great suspicion, but he felt that at least no one was stupid enough to pretend to be an envoy of Qin.

What's more, the national letter Zhang Yi took out was indeed covered with the seal of Qin! "The Yan State has no king now."

Yan General was a little impatient. Yan State was already in chaos. Why are you Qin State joining in the fun?

Gao Changgong said, "If there is no king, then we will meet you who are in charge of the country of Yan. Whoever has the final say will meet whoever we have the final say."

General Yan suddenly burst into blood, and wanted to get angry and suppress it helplessly. He thought for a moment: "Wait, I will go in and ask."

Zhang Yi and Gao Changgong stood alone outside the city gate, watching the people inside and outside the city become refugees.

In addition, this extreme weather really makes people not even have the courage to survive.

"The people of Yan State are so miserable."

Gao Changgong narrowed his eyes and governed a country like this, which made him feel too unbearable to look at him.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Yi spoke, "So now many people from other countries sneak into Qin and want to live in our Qin."

This makes many people unable to understand why Ying Si's tyrannical tyrannicality makes so many people like to respect it?

Many kings work hard to govern, just like the King of Yan. He chose to abdicate to make Yan stronger.

But why did the tyrannical people win the hearts of the people, but the king who strives to be strong will destroy the country?

I'm afraid all of these will be left to be studied in the future! God is so eyeless?

I don’t know how long it took, the Yan general came over with a strong wind, walked directly to Zhang Yi and Gao Changgong, and whispered: “Two, please forgive me for your negligence. Prime Minister, please ask me!”

This Zizhi is still very thrilling.

"lead the way!"

The two followed General Yan to the side hall of the Yan Palace and met the so-called powerful minister.

He is now gray in his temples and has many wrinkles, but he looks energetic and energetic.

"Please sit for two."

Zizhi waved his hand and signaled Zhang Yi and Gao Changgong to sit down.

The lights in the house were a little dim. On the desks that entertained Zhang Yi and Gao Changgong, there was not even meat except nuts.

This shows that the Yan civil war and the treasury suffered huge losses.

Now, even the food that entertains Qin envoys is so indecent! "Sir Xiangbang, where is the King of Yan?"

Zhang Yi asked knowingly, and looked at Zizhi with a joke.

Zizhi said seriously: "I will not hide it from the Prime Minister Qin. My king is seriously ill. I deliberately let the old man take charge of the country's affairs temporarily. If there is anything wrong with Prime Minister Qin, I will just tell the original minister directly."

"good."

Zhang Yi narrowed his eyes. He was a very real person.

Anyway, the purpose of coming to Yan State this time is to bring disaster to the east. As long as Qi intervenes in Yan State, what does your Yan State have to do with me if it is dead or alive?

"Chang Gong, get the Alliance Book!"

Zhang Yi stretched out his hand, and Gao Changgong hurriedly put the clever letter in his arms into Zhang Yi's hand.

After spreading the alliance book, Zhang Yi said: "Please read by Lord Xiangbang. This is a revision of our Qin State. It is a non-aggression treaty with Yan State."

Zi Yiyan! What is the situation? In such a dangerous moment, you, Qin, came to sign a non-aggression treaty?

"What does Qin Prime Minister mean? I don't understand the original meaning?"

Zizhi's eyes were burning, and he coughed, with a lot of doubts and confusion in his eyes, and he couldn't see through Zhang Yi.

Gao Changgong took over the conversation and said with a smile: "Why did Lord Xiangbang ask me knowingly? Your Yan State has now caught fire at the city, and what you are most afraid of is that other countries interfere in politics."

"oh?"

What he said was justified. Zizhi cheered up and said with a smile: "Envoy Qin is right. What I am most worried about is Qin. However, Qin's contracting the treaty this time is quite like a weasel wishing the chicken a New Year."

"The Qin State naturally had something to ask for."
