Chapter 201: Nongjia Hero, Greetings, Crown Prince!
In the post house, the stove was burning fiercely, and from time to time, crackling sounds came from the flames.
Yan Dan looked at Tian Guang quietly and asked in a deep voice: "What wonderful strategy does Mr. Tian Guang have?"
Tian Guang did not directly state his strategy, but looked at Yan Dan and asked a question: "Before answering the Crown Prince's question, I need to confirm one thing first!"
"Since the Crown Prince escaped from the Qin State back to Yan Guo, has the biggest wish, the wish that you would spare no cost to realize, been shaken so far?"
What was Yan Dan's wish?
It was to strengthen Yan Guo so that it could compete with the Qin State and not perish in the hands of the Qin State.
Although this wish could not compare to Han Fei's "He wants ninety-nine of the seven kingdoms," relatively speaking, the difficulty was actually much lower, provided that Yan Dan had enough time.
As long as "010" gave him time to let Yan Guo become slightly stronger, not to mention defeating the Qin State, it was actually possible to hold on for a few more years under the conquest of the Qin State.
After pondering, Yan Dan said with a solemn expression: "It has not been shaken!"
Tian Guang sighed and said softly: "I see."
Immediately, he stated his countermeasure.
"The Qin State is attacking Zhao and has already reached Handan. Zhao Guo is about to perish. Once Zhao Guo is occupied by the Qin State, the Qin army can cross the Yi River at any time and threaten Yan Guo... Even if the Crown Prince wants to make Yan Guo stronger and enough to compete with the Qin State, there is not enough time, or rather, the Qin State will not give the Crown Prince this time."
"At this moment, if you want to resist the Qin State and hinder the Qin State's pace of conquering the world, you can only take a side path and take a risky move to have a glimmer of hope!"
"What does Mr. Tian Guang want to say?"
Yan Dan heard some unusual meaning from Tian Guang's words.
"Assassinate... Ying Zheng!"
Tian Guang said four words, and Yan Dan's heart suddenly chilled, shocked.
Before returning to Yan Guo, he had many ideas, such as training a strong army for Yan Guo through legal reform, or sketching the Hu people and Xiongnu in the borderlands. Once the Qin State attacked Yan Guo, he could use their power to resist the Qin State.
But these were eventually abandoned by him.
The former was because there was not enough time, and as for the latter, Yan Dan considered himself a descendant of Huaxia, especially Yan Guo, which was a feudal state directly inherited from the Zhou Son of Heaven, so it could be considered orthodox. How could he abandon the glory of his ancestors and collude with the barbarians?
He did not expect that Tian Guang would propose an unexpected plan, which was to assassinate Ying Zheng.
This was a strategy with no retreat.
If it succeeded, it would be fine. The Qin State would fall into great chaos, Ying Zheng's children were still young, and the Qin State might fall into the situation when Ying Zheng first ascended the throne. At least, in a short time, they would probably have no mind to conquer other countries.
But if it failed, Yan Guo, which planned all this, would face the pressure of the Qin State directly, and the situation between the two countries would become irreconcilable.
But if he did not assassinate Ying Zheng, was there a better way?
Yan Dan thought about it and decided to continue listening to Tian Guang.
"How does Mr. Tian Guang plan to act?"
Tian Guang seemed to have thought of everything long ago, or rather, it was not him who thought of it, but Lord Lord Changping who stayed in Xianyang. Lord Lord Changping lived in Xianyang and considered himself to know Ying Zheng extremely well. He performed many simulations based on Ying Zheng's personality and finally determined the final strategy.
Tian Guang now was just summarizing what Lord Lord Changping had planned.
"Because of the Crown Prince's escape from the Qin State earlier, Yan Guo has already deeply offended the Qin State. To restore the relationship with the Qin State, you must pay a price!" He said slowly, and then said a place, "Dukang!"
"Dukang is the only fertile land in Yan Guo. After the Qin State destroys Zhao, although it can reach the Yi River and threaten Yan Guo, it should be unable to continue to move troops to Yan Guo in a short time. At this time, if Yan Guo is willing to take the initiative to cede the land of Dukang, the Qin State is obviously happy to see it."
"Although their ultimate goal is to destroy Yan Guo, before that, they don't mind picking up ready-made bargains and weakening Yan Guo!"
"In addition to the land of Dukang in Yan Guo, Ying Zheng hates betrayal the most in his life, and in Yan Guo, there is a traitor of the Qin State hidden. Crown Prince, you can send this person's head to Ying Zheng to show your attitude."
Tian Guang's tone turned, and he said another name, "Fan Fan Yuqi!"
Hearing this name, Yan Dan felt a chill in his heart.
It was only because he took in Fan Fan Yuqi, which was originally because Tian Guang acted as a lobbyist. At that time, he was still a hostage in the Qin State, and Tian Guang found him. He gave the token, and the people in Yan Guo secretly took in Fan Fan Yuqi. Now, after he returned to the country, Fan Fan Yuqi was living quite comfortably in Yan Guo under his support.
For Yan Dan, Fan Fan Yuqi was once an important part of his plan to strengthen Yan Guo.
Because Fan Fan Yuqi was a general of the Qin State and knew many secrets of the Qin State, it could be said that he knew the Qin army like the back of his hand.
If he had his help, it would not be difficult for Yan Guo to train a strong army to resist the Qin State.
As a result, in Tian Guang's plan, it was necessary to sacrifice Fan Fan Yuqi and use Fan Fan Yuqi's head to exchange for the favor of the Qin State and the trust of Ying Zheng.
This made Yan Dan somewhat unacceptable.
Immediately, he thought of another thing.
Fan Fan Yuqi was taken in because Tian Guang asked him to. When Tian Guang first found him, had he already considered this point?
This could not help but make Yan Dan feel some vigilance. He looked at Tian Guang and asked a question extremely seriously: "Mr. Tian Guang, who exactly are you?"
Tian Guang said softly: "Everyone in Yan Guo knows the name of Tian Guang the Knight, a little clever. People are also quite brave, and I am fortunate to be appreciated by the Crown Prince."
Yan Dan frowned and continued: "Mr. Tian Guang is a person of great wisdom and courage. I have long known that you are not an ordinary person. Now that it has come to this, please do not hide your true identity anymore."
Tian Guang sighed, not knowing what he was thinking. However, since it had reached this point, in order to successfully persuade Yan Dan to implement that plan, he had to reveal his identity to Yan Dan and be honest.
With a thought, a token appeared in Tian Guang's hand and was then placed on the table in the post house.
Yan Dan was stunned after seeing this token, and then recognized it.
"Shennong Token, Mr. Tian Guang, you are?"
With the appearance of the Shennong Token, he gradually had the answer in his heart.
Tian Guang did not hide it either, took the initiative to bow, saluted Yan Dan, and stated his identity: "Nongjia Hero, greetings, Crown Prince!"
