Tai Xiaodan smiled bitterly and said: "I knew today, why bother at the beginning, if there was no such battle, two thousand Yi gold and two hundred thousand stone grain could naturally be exchanged for the plateau to retreat, but at that time, it was my Yan country that rejected the plateau, and now it is this defeat, if it is still under such conditions, does the king think that the plateau will retreat?" ”

King Yan was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't speak for a while.

At this time, Honggao jumped out again and said: "The prince is the prince of the family, and he does his best to serve the country, and now that the Yan country is in danger, how can the prince stand by and watch, he should do his best to persuade the plateau to accept these conditions and withdraw from the army, so as to protect the ancestral rites of the Yan country." ”

Ju Wu sneered on the side: "Xiangguo thinks that with such conditions, can Gao Yuan be persuaded to withdraw the army?" So wouldn't it be better to ask Xiangguo to go out and personally go to the camp of the Wu'an Army to persuade the plateau? As the prime minister of a country, it is also the responsibility of the country to do his best for the country. ”

Honggao was also startled when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "King, it's not that the ministers don't want to do their best for the country, it's just that Weichen has always been clumsy and not good at words, even if he is in the Wu'an military camp, it is difficult to succeed, I am afraid that he will miss the country's major affairs." ”

Ju Wu snorted and said, "If Xiangguo is not good at words, why did he take the initiative to ask Ying to envoy to Qin State just now?" What's more, what Xiangguo can't do by himself, why is it pushed to Tai Xiao to complete. ”

Honggao was dumbfounded and couldn't answer. Ju Wu ignored him, turned to Yan Wang Xi and said: "Great King, if you want to let Tai Xiao persuade Wu Anjun, and ask the Great King to give the crown prince full powers, you can do it cheaply, and it will be feasible." ”

Yan Wangxi was silent for a while before he nodded and said, "Okay, just follow what Qing plays." The prince has full responsibility and makes peace with Wu Anjun, and everything can be done cheaply by the prince. ”

When Prince Dan heard this, he was also relieved, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Thank you, the king." ”

After retiring from the palace, Prince Dan and Ju Wu walked out of the palace together, and Tai Xiao Dan said: "This time it is really thanks to the teacher. ”

Ju Wu said: "These things are the responsibility of the old minister, or Taixiao's knowledge, I have long seen that Yan is by no means the enemy of the Wu'an Army, if you let Honggao and their people do nonsense, Qin Su has the heart of a tiger and a wolf, Qin Jun is still insatiable, if you lead the Qin army to save Yan, it is tantamount to luring a wolf into the house, my Yan State will sooner or later follow in the footsteps of Han and Zhao, and be destroyed by Qin, so the only way to do this is to make an alliance with Wu Anjun and jointly resist Qin, so as to implement the prince's plan and protect Yan. ”

Prince Dan said: "The teacher's words are extremely true, but I am only afraid that after this change, Wu Anjun will no longer want to form an alliance with my Yan Kingdom." ”

Ju Wu said: "Please rest assured, Tai Xiao, now the primary enemy of Dai County is also the Qin State, so according to the old minister, Wu Anjun is willing to form an alliance with our Yan State, but the property paid to him may increase a little, Tai Xiao can consider it at his discretion, add a little and add a little." The old minister just invited the king, so that the prince could do it cheaply. ”

After listening to Ju Wu's words, Tai Xiao Dan was also a little relieved, and gave Ju Wu another salute and said, "Thank you, teacher." ”

Ju Wu said again: "Taixiao, I don't know who Mr. Tian Guang recommends?" ”

At this time, a smile appeared on Prince Dan's face, and he said: "I heard Mr. Tian Guang say that this person's surname is Jing Mingke, and he is still a disciple of the original Wei Guo, who likes to read and fencing since he was a child, and is generous and chivalrous. Brave and courageous, and can take on great responsibilities, I have asked Mr. Tian Guang to invite this person to come and see, and he should be able to arrive in Jijing in a few days. ”

Ju Wu nodded and said, "Mr. Tian Guang is known as a knowledgeable person, and when he commented on Xia Fu, he was angry and red-faced, and he was also a brave person. Song Yi is angry and blue-faced, and he is also a brave person. Qin Wuyang, angry and white-faced, is also a brave person. These three people are all happy and angry. It is also a taboo for assassins, so it is not available, and it is really insightful. Since he recommended Jing Keke to take on the task of assassinating the King of Qin, there must be no mistake. However, this matter is a matter of importance, and when it is done in secret, it is too bad to leak the rumors. ”

Prince Dan hurriedly said: "The teacher's words, Ji Dan should take them to heart, and he has already told Mr. Tian Guang that this matter is confidential and cannot be known to others, and after I make peace with Wu Anjun, I will meet with Jing Ke." ”

Ju Wu said: "Okay, the old minister is waiting for the good fortune." ”

Early the next morning, Tai Xiaodan only took more than 20 servants, took a high car, left Jijing City, and went straight to the camp of the Wu'an Army. And along the road, it was the soldiers of the Wu'an Army who were sheltering the corpse of Yan Bing, and after some soldiers asked about Tai Dan's intention, they did not stop him, and sent someone to lead Prince Dan and his party to the camp of the Wu'an Army.

On both sides of the avenue, I saw that the corpses of the Yan soldiers were piled up into one small hill after another, and the prince Dan also sighed, and added another layer to the dissatisfaction of Honggao, Cavalry, Liaoyangjun and others, if it wasn't for their strong resistance, they had made peace with the plateau before, how could there be this defeat, and so many Yan soldiers were killed.

The strength of the Yan State is only slightly stronger than that of Korea among the Seven Heroes, and after this defeat, it will inevitably be greatly damaged, even if its own plan to assassinate Qin is successful, the Qin State will be weak from then on, and it will take at least ten years for the Yan State to recover its vitality.

While thinking, Tai Xiaodan and his entourage also came to the camp of the Wu'an Army. At this time, Gao Yuan had received the news and ordered someone to release Prince Dan and his party into the camp.

A soldier invited Prince Dan into the Chinese army's tent on the plateau, and Tai Dan gave a salute like a plateau and said, "Ji Dan is really ashamed to see Wu Anjun." ”

Gao Yuan waved his hand and said: "The prince doesn't have to be polite, I have already asked clearly, this time the Yan army went to war, not because of the intention of the emperor, but the king of Yan, as well as Xiangguo, Da Sima, Liaoyang Jun and others, so the prince does not have to blame himself too much." It turned out that after the end of the war, Gao Yuan immediately interrogated the prisoners, and basically figured out the ins and outs of this incident, so there was no embarrassment for the prince Dan Tai Xiaodan listened, and his heart was a little more settled, it seems that Gao Yuan is really a smart person, and he understands that the last time Yan Guo refused to make peace, it was not his responsibility, so he also had a little low in his heart, and immediately said: "Wu Anjun really has a lot of energy, in fact, my father also mistakenly believed the words of Xiangguo and others, and he didn't check for a while, so he refused to make peace with Wu Anjun, and now he can't regret it...... ”

Gao Yuan said: "What does King Yan mean, there is no need to say it, so why did Tai Xiao come to my camp?" ”

Prince Dan couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, because when Gao Yuan was responsible just now, Yan Wangxi was also included, and Prince Dan naturally wanted to defend his father and put the responsibility on Honggao and others, but Gao Yuan did not allow Prince Dan to defend, obviously did not believe Prince Dan's justification, so Prince Dan had to cough to hide his embarrassment, and said: "This time Ji Dan came to see Wu Anjun, that is, on behalf of his father, to make peace with Wu Anjun, the conditions proposed by Wu Anjun before, we Yan Guo can agree, if Wu Anjun is not satisfied." , you can also add some more, but my Yan country's national strength is small, and I ask Wu Anjun's subordinates to show mercy and leave a little leeway for Yan Guo. Ji Dan will be grateful. ”

Gao Yuan smiled: "The prince is too polite, in fact, I originally wanted to form an alliance with the Yan State and jointly fight against the Qin State, so there is no need to increase the conditions I offered." ”

When Tai Xiao Dan heard this, he couldn't help but look over, and gave a deep salute to Gao Yuan, saying, "Ji Dan, thank you Wu Anjun......"

Gao Yuan waved his hand and said, "The prince doesn't have to thank me first, listen to me finish speaking, I still have one condition." ”

Prince Dan hurriedly said: "Wu Anjun, please say, what are the conditions." ”

Gao Yuan said: "Taiyu must control the power of the Yan Kingdom. ”

Prince Dan's whole body was shocked, and he said, "What? ”

Gao Yuan said: "After the prince returned, he immediately launched a coup d'état, forced King Yan to abdicate, and the crown prince inherited the throne, and then removed Honggao, cavalry, and Liaoyang Jun from their positions, and eliminated their henchmen, and I can also help the prince, as long as the prince controls the power of the Yan State, it is easy to say." ”

Tai Xiao Dan's face suddenly turned pale, and said: "Wu Anjun, don't say it again, such a big rebellion, Ji Dan will never dare to do it, never dare to do it." ”

Gao Yuan said lightly: "Those who have achieved great things, don't stick to small things, isn't Tai Xiao secretly plotting to assassinate King Qin?" Only when the crown prince holds the power of the Yan Kingdom can he ......"

Before he finished his words, Prince Dan's whole body shook and said in a trembling voice: "How do you know." ”

Gao Yuan said: "How do I know this, please forgive me for not being able to tell the prince, but although the prince has the ambition to revive the Yan country, but now the clan of the Yan country is obsessed with the old ways, and does not hesitate to stoop to Qin, such a minister, it is difficult to conspire, and the king of Yan is a sheep-like wolf skin, short-sighted, soft-hearted, doing big things and sparing his life, seeing small profits and forgetting righteousness, and being a person can not be trusted, so the prince can only show his hands and feet if he masters the government of Yan State, plots to assassinate Qin, works hard, and changes the law and innovates. And I was relieved to form an alliance with Yan State. If the crown prince feels that it is too much to force King Yan to abdicate, he can still let King Yan reign and be a puppet monarch, but the prince must control the power of the Yan Kingdom. ”

Prince Dan shook his head and said, "Wu Anjun, your Jianyi, Ji Dan will never dare to do it, never dare to do it, so there is no need to say it again." Although Tai Xiao Dan has the idea of changing the law and innovating and reviving the Yan Kingdom, after all, he has been educated in etiquette since he was a child, and he pays attention to kinship and harmony, so Gao Yuan asked him to launch a coup d'état, set up the Yan King, and suppress the old clan family, Tai Xiao Dan really did not have the courage.

Therefore, Gao Yuan also sighed and said, "Since this is the case, I will also be exempted from the Qiang Prince, so if Yan Guo wants to make peace with me, he must agree to these conditions." As he spoke, Gao Yuan handed a bamboo tube that had already been written to Prince Dan.

Tai Xiaodan took the bamboo tube, opened it, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said, "Wu Anjun, the conditions you put forward are too harsh. ”
