"The king, it is absolutely impossible to do it."

"That's right, the king, if it is according to the Tai Xiao's proposal, then what is the face of my Yan Kingdom, so this proposal is absolutely impossible."

"The king, the Tai Xiao in this battle, the loss of troops and the demolition of generals, the loss of teachers and humiliation of the country, should be given a heavy punishment."

Prince Dan didn't expect that he thought that there would be no big controversy, but he was unanimously opposed by almost all the clans and clan ministers of Yan Kingdom. Therefore, Prince Dan is also a little at a loss, how to explain to Gao Yuan now?

It turned out that after defeating the two armies of the Yan army, capturing Juyongsai, and capturing more than 63,000 soldiers of the Yan army, and gaining absolute strategic and tactical superiority, Gao Yuan negotiated peace with Tai Xiaodan.

Gao Yuan's condition to Yan Guo was that Yan Guo would compensate him with 2,000 eridium gold and 200,000 stone of grain, open the checkpoint to trade with Daijun, and reduce the entry tax of Daijun's caravans. And the Wu'an army can release all the captured Yan soldiers and withdraw from Juyongsai. Then the two sides are discussing the formation of an alliance.

Now what the plateau urgently lacks is population and food reserves, but after seizing Juyongsai and obtaining the materials that the Yan army has gathered in Juyongsai, the plateau has been very satisfied, and after all, he can't be an enemy of Yan for a long time, he still has to form an alliance with Yan State, and now he is not in a hurry to expand his territory, so there is no need to force Yan State too tightly.

Strictly speaking, the conditions proposed by the plateau are indeed not high, 2,000 eridium gold and 200,000 stone of grain are still affordable for a large country like Yan, and there is no loss to Yan Guo by opening up the checkpoint and trading with Daijun, and reducing the entry tax of Daijun's caravans. The most important thing is that the Yan State does not have to cede land, and it can also recover Juyongsai and captured soldiers, even if it is a ransom payment. Therefore, after Prince Dan learned of the conditions of the plateau, he was also greatly relieved and immediately agreed.

Moreover, during this period of time, Prince Dan and others lived in the Wu'an Army, and the plateau did not impose many restrictions on their movements, so Prince Dan also had some contact with the soldiers and generals of the Wu'an Army, and had a considerable understanding of the Wu'an Army and the plateau. Now there are four counties in the territory of the plateau, with a population of more than one million, and the most of them can collect up to 200,000 troops, and most of them are elite soldiers who have experienced a hundred battles, and their strength is not weaker than a medium candidate country, and the plateau has won the hearts of the people as Li Mu's continuation, and his rule in Dai County is very stable.

In addition, according to Fan Yuzhi's observation, the way of using troops on the plateau is no longer under Li Mu, and the Wu'an army is well-trained, and it is by no means inferior to the Qin army in terms of combat effectiveness, so Prince Dan also believes that the plateau is definitely a reliable ally, and once it forms an alliance with the plateau, the Yan State can also have an extra layer of protection. In Tai Xiaodan's heart, he also made a decision, after returning to Jijing, he must persuade his father to make an alliance with the plateau.

However, although in Tai Xiao Dan's view, the conditions offered by the plateau have been very low, and the monarchs and ministers of Yan State should be secretly happy, and there will be no trouble at all, but when Yan Wang Xi gathered the ministers to gather, he was met with strong opposition, and at the same time, many people pointed the finger at Prince Dan, saying that he was defeated and humiliated the country, lost the army and demolished the generals, and actually persuaded Yan Wang Xi to compensate the plateau for money and grain, which was really insulting to the prestige of the country, and some people also cried loudly in the main hall, saying that Tai Xiao Dan still had the face to go to see the ancestor of Yan Guo to summon the public and so on.

With the Xiangguo Honggao of the Yan State, the three people of Da Sima Cavalry and Liaoyang Jun Gongzi Yuan were the most opposed. Because these three people are all powerful ministers of Yan State, and all three of them are opposed, even if Yan Wangxi is happy, he can't take them lightly.

And Prince Dan found that he still thought about things simply, only thinking that the conditions proposed by Gao Yuan were not high, but he underestimated the old aristocratic mentality of the Yan family and clan. Because the competition between aristocrats is often not wealth but years, there is a famous saying in the West: a nobleman who has lasted for five generations will not be able to afford a nobleman who has only three generations. And the clans and clans of the Yan Kingdom are actually in this kind of mentality.

Yan is the most noble and longest-standing country among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, in the eyes of the Yan clan and the clan, only Qin and Chu have the same long history, and they are the candidates of the Zhou Dynasty, and they can avoid being tied with themselves, and the emerging candidates like Zhao Wei and Han Qi are not eye-catching. Originally, after the Qin State became strong, the Zhao State was the barrier for the Yan State to block the eastward advance of the Qin army, and the two countries were originally dependent on each other, even if they did not form an alliance, they would not be enemies of each other, but after the Battle of Changping, the Yan State fell into the ground, sent troops to attack the Zhao State, and later made enemies with the Zhao State several times, and it was precisely because of this old aristocratic mentality. Look down on emerging forces like Zhao Guo.

Therefore, it is only natural for Yan State to succumb to an old vassal state like Qin State, and what kind of person is Gao Yuan, although he has called himself Wu Anjun, but he is just Li Mu's disciple, and his official position in Zhao State is just a doctor, and he can't even be a lord, so how can it be possible to ask an old aristocratic country like Yan to be stubborn and compensate a commoner like him.

Of course, not everyone has this kind of old aristocratic mentality, after all, the history is long, and no matter how noble the birth is, it is all in the past. Now the way of the world is to speak with your fists. With more than 60,000 troops, Gao Yuan defeated 200,000 Yan troops, which proves that his fists are hard, and there is nothing to say. And they opposed succumbing to the plateau, and actually pointed the finger at Tai Xiaodan.

The ministers of the Yan State were actually divided into two camps, the Qin and the anti-Qin, and as the strength of the Qin State became stronger and stronger, there were more and more ministers of the Yan State who advocated the affairs of Qin. Tai Xiao Dan was originally sent by Yan State to Qin State, and Qin Wang Zheng treated him very lightly, without courtesy, and said that the sheep had horns and white hair before letting the prince Dan return. Later, Prince Dan sought an opportunity to abscond back to China, although he was made the crown prince by King Yan, but it caused the dissatisfaction of the ministers of the Qin faction of Yan State Affairs, who believed that Prince Dan's escape back to Yan State would cause Qin State to be hostile to Yan State.

After Tai Yu Dan returned to the country, he always regarded Qin as the biggest opponent of Yan State, and later took in Qin State's judgment general Fan Yu Period, which not only caused panic among the ministers of the Qin faction, thinking that Prince Dan's approach would inevitably attract the attack of the Qin army, and only by removing Prince Dan's position as the crown prince could Yan State and Qin State be friendly, and Qin State would not attack Yan State. In addition, Tai Xiaodan's efforts to reform the law in the country also made the conservative forces very dissatisfied.

However, the removal of the prince is a major event in any country, and Yan Wangxi still has a bit of the arrogance of the old nobles after all, if it is just to please the Qin State, the prince is dismissed, and the face is too bad, and the other princesses of Yan Wangxi are really too bad to support the wall, so Yan Wangxi has not removed Tai Xiaodan.

The ministers of the Shiqin faction could not find a reason to persuade Yan Wangxi to remove the crown prince Dan, so they had no choice but to give up. And this time, he could seize the reason for the defeat and humiliation of the country and the loss of the army, so he openly aimed the spearhead at Tai Xiaodan.

Originally, Taichuan Ju Wu was a staunch supporter of Tai Yu Dan and one of the powerful ministers of Yan State, but in this battle of attacking the dynasty, Ju Wu went out with Prince Dan and commanded the Yan army on the southern front, but the result was the same defeat, and his prestige in the court fell sharply, so it was difficult to speak for Prince Dan at this time.

Tai Xiao Dan couldn't help but be angry and anxious, and said to King Yan: "Father, now that Juyong has been occupied by the Wu'an army, and the soldiers are pointing directly at Jijing, if you don't agree to Wu'anjun's conditions, then what can you do to protect Jijing?" ”

This sentence touched Yan Wangxi's heart, although Yan Wangxi still has a little bit of the arrogance of the old noble, but his position is different from that of other ministers after all, the ass decides the head, as a king, the first priority is naturally to keep the throne, if even Ji Kyoto can't keep it, then what's the use of the arrogance of the old noble. Therefore, he also nodded and said: "No matter what else is today, Zhao Jun's troops have already approached Jijing, if you don't agree to Zhao Jun's conditions, what can you do to keep Jijing?" ”

Xiangguo Honggao said: "My Yan Kingdom is still a dignified Zhou clan relative, after the summoning of the duke, how can I yield to the Zhao State and the remaining ministers, if I agree to these conditions proposed by the plateau, what kind of face will the king have in the future to meet the ancestors of the Yan Kingdom." ”

King Yan said happily: "Xiangguo, if Jijing is broken by the Zhao army and the temple is turbulent, can this king face the ancestors of Yan Kingdom?" ”

Honggao hurriedly said: "The king is in a hurry, we can stick to Jijing on the one hand, and send envoys on the other hand to ask for help from other countries and save my Yan country from danger." But we must not succumb to the plateau. ”

Yan Wang said happily: "Now that the countries are too late to take care of themselves, who will come to the rescue of my Yan country?" ”

Honggao said: "Qin State, now there is Qin State to save my Yan Kingdom." As long as we stick to Jijing and then send people to the rescue of Qin, as long as the Qin army arrives, the danger of Jijing can be solved. ”

When Tai Xiaodan heard this, he immediately said: "No, Qin is the country of tigers and wolves, and Qin Jun has always had the heart of annexing the world, and now he has destroyed the two kingdoms of Zhao and Han, and the Qin country has the heart of destroying Zhao. ”

Honggao snorted and said, "The two kingdoms of Zhao and Han are still the feud of the Qin State, and it is natural that the Qin State will be destroyed." And my Yan State and Qin State have no grudges, as long as they are friendly with Qin State, how can Qin State regard my Yan State as an enemy? And Taixiao fled to Qin privately, and sheltered the fleeing generals of Qin, so angering Qin is the danger of my Yan country. Therefore, the only plan for today is to use the rescue plan of the Qin State to form a good alliance with the Qin State, which is the strategy to protect the Yan State. ”

Liaoyang Jun Gongzi Yuan came out and said: "The king, the minister thinks that Xiangguo's words are extremely true, and the ministers know that now the Zhao army is actually only sixty or seventy thousand horses, and if my Yan country recruits all the middle-aged men in the Jijing area into the army, it can recruit no less than 200,000 troops, and it is more than enough to hold Jijing, maybe there is no need to wait for the arrival of the Qin army, and the Zhao army can be defeated in front of the city, so the king must not agree to the conditions of the Zhao army." ”

Da Sima also came out and said: "The king, although the minister is not talented, he is willing to lead the army to fight and defend Jijing, and I only ask the king to never agree to the conditions of the Zhao army." ”
