Chapter 203: Zhao Guo Perishes, Crisis is Coming!
Yan Dan's eyes flickered, and he fell into deep thought.
Tian Guang spoke very well.
Although Lord Lord Changping let Tian Guang persuade him to assassinate the Qin Wang in order to preserve Chu Guo, there was a suspicion of using him as a knife.
But after this matter succeeded, Lord Lord Changping could become the regent of the Qin State, like the former Lu Lu Buwei, handling the government affairs on behalf of the monarch. Now the eldest son of the Qin State is not old. If he succeeds to the throne, he will be much younger than Ying Zheng was back then.
Ying Zheng experienced nearly ten years from ascending the throne to taking personal control of the government, and Lu Lu Buwei also handled the state affairs for ten years.
If Lord Lord Changping became the regent of the Qin State, perhaps the major state affairs of the Qin State in the next ten years would be manipulated by him, and Yan Guo and Chu Guo could also obtain ten years of rest and recuperation during this process.
Back then, the Qin State implemented the Shang Yang reform and changed from weak to strong, which only took more than ten years.
If Yan Guo was given ten years, Yan Dan had the confidence to change Yan Guo.
After all, the foundation of Yan Guo was not bad. During the period of Yan Zhao Wang, it was once strong and almost destroyed Qi Guo. It was only because the monarchs after Yan Zhao Wang were incompetent that Yan Guo declined again.
Yan Dan was confident that as long as he succeeded to the throne and became the Yan Wang, he could make Yan Guo return to the prosperity of the Yan Zhao Wang period.
But all these things had a premise.
That was, Lord Lord Changping was truly trustworthy. If Lord Lord Changping was not trustworthy, his implementation of this matter would only make Yan Guo a target for the Qin State to vent its anger. At that time, all the anger of the Qin State would be vented on Yan Guo, and Lord Lord Changping would not even have to do anything to gain some time for Chu Guo out of thin air.
I don't know when it started, but time became the most precious thing for the countries in Shandong.
The pace of the Qin State's conquest of other countries was too urgent and too fast, so fast that the countries in Shandong had no reaction time at all.
After parting with Tian Guang, Yan Dan returned to the mansion.
The conversation with Tian Guang today gave him many ideas.
His mood was very chaotic, and he needed to spend some time to digest this information.
And in this plan, there was a crucial thing, that is, can Lord Lord Changping be trusted? The relationship between the Nongjia and Lord Lord Changping surprised him and also made him have some new ideas.
Tian Guang approaching him was likely not because he admired him and wanted to serve him, but likely because of Lord Lord Changping's instruction.
But conversely, if Lord Lord Changping really had some thoughts, he could not have let Tian Guang say these secrets.
Tian Guang took the initiative to say these secrets in front of him, which was also a kind of honesty.
But whether to follow what Tian Guang said and carry out the assassination of Ying Zheng, he had not yet thought about it.
The involvement of this matter was too great, and no matter whether it succeeded or failed, there was a great risk, so he had to think about it carefully.
Time passed slowly.
On this day, Wang Xuan Jian's army attacked Handan. Even though the people of Zhao Guo tried their best to block it, they could not avoid the news of Handan City being broken. With the breaking of Handan City, the Zhao Guo official Guo Kai and the Crown Prince Zhao Qian, who had not yet officially ascended the throne, became prisoners, and Zhao Guo was declared destroyed.
It was also after the news of Handan City being broken spread that the abandoned Crown Prince Zhao Jia in the Dai area suddenly raised troops and declared himself king, which was a disguised continuation of the Zhao Guo state, but it was only a nominal continuation.
With most of Zhao Guo's territory occupied by the Qin State, this country had essentially perished.
After the news of Zhao Guo's destruction spread back to the Qin State, the Qin Wang Ying Zheng was naturally overjoyed, and then he made a decision. He decided to visit Handan in person.
Ying Zheng's decision was not accidental.
For Zhao Guo, Ying Zheng's impression was extremely deep because his childhood was spent in Zhao Guo.
Back then, his father had been a hostage in Zhao Guo, and later, with the help of Lu Lu Buwei, he escaped back to the Qin State, but he and his mother were forced to stay in Zhao Guo. Because his father had escaped, and at that time, the Battle of Lord Changping had not ended long ago, the whole Zhao Guo was full of hatred for the Qin State. His childhood could be imagined how unpleasant it was.
Even after returning to the Qin State, Ying Zheng would sometimes think of the past in Zhao Guo.
Also because of these embarrassing past events, he had no good feelings for Zhao Guo and Handan. Now that Zhao Guo had perished, he naturally had to go to Handan again to show off his power.
Ying Zheng went to Handan, and Su Xuan, Gao Gao Jianli, and others naturally had to accompany him. Even because this time was different from going to Han Guo, it was a private act, and his entourage was quite large.
In Handan City, Ying Zheng saw the slave-like posture of Guo Kai, who kept pleasing him, and saw the shivering Zhao Qian, and felt that the once arrogant Zhao Guo was nothing more than that, which was really unbearable.
After the Zhao Guo trip ended, Ying Zheng took many Zhao Guo prisoners and headed toward Xianyang.
Su Xuan did not go to Xianyang, but said to the accompanying Yan Fei, "I need to go to Yan Guo. The affairs of the Yin-Yang School will be left to you and Moon Goddess for the time being!"
Yan Fei nodded. Although she was curious about why Su Xuan was going to Yan Guo, she did not accompany him.
After all, she was not interested in Yan Guo either.
In the land of Yan Guo, when the news of Handan City being broken and Zhao Guo's destruction spread again, the whole country was in an uproar, and Yan Wang Xi was terrified to the extreme.
He was afraid that after the Qin State destroyed Zhao Guo, it would aim its troops at Yan Guo and then destroy Yan Guo.
He considered himself not a wise monarch, but he did not want to be a monarch of a destroyed country!
In the Crown Prince's mansion, Yan Dan was also terrified.
The worst thing finally happened. Zhao Guo's destruction did not block the Qin State for a moment.
After Han Guo was destroyed earlier, there were only five countries in Shandong. Now, Zhao Guo was destroyed again, leaving only four countries, among which Qi Guo had always been on good terms with the Qin State and could be ignored.
The remaining three countries were Yan Guo, Wei Guo, and Chu Guo. Chu Guo was the strongest, and the Qin State should not move against Chu Guo in a short time.
The remaining Yan Guo and Wei Guo seemed to have a fifty-fifty probability, but Yan Guo was the weakest, so Yan Guo was also the most dangerous.
"Must make up my mind!"
A ruthless look flashed in Yan Dan's eyes. For the sake of Yan Guo, he could spare no cost.
After making up his mind, he wrote a letter immediately and asked someone to send it to the Black Knight of the Six Fingers.
As the Black Knight of the Six Fingers rushed over in a hurry, Yan Dan, just like when he was in the Qin State, said six words, "Please help me, Leader!"
