Chapter 328

Tian Guang said these four words, and Yan Dan's heart suddenly chilled, and he was horrified.

Before returning to the State of Yan, he had had many ideas, such as training a strong army for the State of Yan through legal reform, or drawing in the Hu people and Xiongnu from the borderlands; once the Qin Guo attacked the State of Yan, he could use their power to confront the Qin Guo.

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, and the State of Yan, in particular, was a feudal state directly enfeoffed by the Zhou Son of Heaven, which could be considered orthodox. How could he abandon the glory of his ancestors and collude with foreign barbarians?

He had not expected Tian Guang to propose an unexpected plan: assassinating Ying Zheng.

This was a strategy with no retreat.

If it succeeded, it would be fine; the Qin Guo would fall into great chaos, Ying Zheng's children were still young, and the Qin Guo might fall into the situation of when Ying Zheng first ascended the throne. At the very least, in the short term, they would probably have no mind to conquer other countries.

But if it failed, the State of Yan, which planned all this, would face the pressure of the Qin Guo head-on, and the situation between the two countries would become a life-and-death struggle.

But was there a better way than assassinating Ying Zheng?

Yan Dan thought about it and decided to continue listening to Tian Guang.

"How does Master Tian Guang plan to act?"

Tian Guang seemed to have thought of everything long ago, or rather, it was not he who thought of it, but Lord Changping, who was staying in Xianyang. Lord Changping lived in Xianyang and considered himself to know Ying Zheng extremely well. He had conducted many simulations based on Ying Zheng's personality before finally determining the final strategy.

The Tian Guang before him was merely summarizing what Lord Changping had planned.

"Because of Your Highness the Crown Prince's escape from the Qin Guo earlier, the State of Yan has deeply offended the Qin Guo. To restore the relationship with the Qin Guo, one must pay a price!" He said slowly, and then stated a place: "Dukang!"

"Dukang is the only fertile land in the State of Yan. After the Qin Guo destroys Zhao, although they can reach the Yi River and threaten the State of Yan, they should be unable to continue sending troops to the State of Yan in the short term. At this time, if the State of Yan is willing to voluntarily cede the land of Dukang, the Qin Guo will clearly be happy to see it."

"Although their ultimate goal is to destroy the State of Yan, before that, they do not mind picking up some ready-made benefits and weakening the State of Yan."

"Besides the land of Dukang in the State of Yan, Ying Zheng hates betrayal most in his life, and in the State of Yan, there hides a traitor of the Qin Guo. Your Highness the Crown Prince can send this person's head to Ying Zheng to show your attitude."

Tian Guang changed his tone and said another name: "Fan Yuqi!"

Upon hearing this name, Yan Dan felt a chill in his heart.

Because the matter of him taking in Fan Yuqi was originally due to Tian Guang acting as a lobbyist. At that time, he was still a hostage in the Qin Guo, and Tian Guang found him. He gave a token, and the people in the State of Yan secretly took in Fan Yuqi. Now, after he returned to his country, Fan Yuqi was living quite comfortably in the State of Yan under his support.

For Yan Dan, Fan Yuqi was an important part of his plan to strengthen the State of Yan.

Because Fan Yuqi, as a great general of the Qin Guo, knew many of the Qin Guo's secrets and could be said to know the Qin army like the back of his hand.

If he had his help, it would not be difficult for the State of Yan to train a strong army to confront the Qin Guo.

As it turned out, in Tian Guang's plan, it was necessary to sacrifice Fan Yuqi, using Fan Yuqi's head to exchange for the favor of the Qin Guo and the trust of Ying Zheng.

This made Yan Dan somewhat unable to accept it.

Immediately after, he thought of another thing.

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: "Master Tian Guang, who exactly are you?"

Tian Guang said softly, "The people of the State of Yan all know the name of Tian Guang the Knight-Errant. I have a little cleverness and am considered brave. I am fortunate to have been appreciated by Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Yan Dan frowned and continued, "Master Tian Guang is a person of great wisdom and courage. I have long known you are by no means an ordinary person. At this point, please do not hide your true identity anymore."

Tian Guang sighed, not knowing what he was thinking. However, having reached this point, in order to successfully persuade Yan Dan and let him 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 immediately, he recognized it.

"Shennong Token, Master 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. He took the initiative to cup his hands, performed a salute to Yan Dan, and stated his identity: "The Xia Kui of the Agricultural School greets Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
