Chapter 330

Yan Dan's eyes flickered, and he fell into deep thought.

Tian Guang spoke very well.

Although Lord Changping let Tian Guang persuade him to assassinate the King of Qin to preserve the State of Chu, there was a suspicion of using him as a knife.

But after this matter succeeded, Lord Changping could become the regent of the Qin Guo, like Lu Buwei in the past, handling state affairs on behalf of the monarch. Now the eldest son of the Qin Guo was not old, and if he ascended the throne, he would be much younger than Seeing Ying Zheng was back then.

Seeing Ying Zheng experienced nearly ten years from ascending the throne to taking personal control, and Lu Buwei also handled state affairs for ten years.

If Lord Changping became the regent of the Qin Guo, perhaps the major state affairs of the Qin Guo for the next ten years or more would be manipulated by him, and the State of Yan and the State of Chu could also use this to gain an opportunity to recuperate.

Back then, the Qin Guo implemented the Shang Yang reforms, changing from weak to strong, which only took a dozen years.

If he were given a dozen years, Yan Dan would have the confidence to change the State of Yan.

After all, the foundation of the State of Yan was not bad to begin with. During the reign of King King Zhaowang of Yan, it was once strong for a time and almost destroyed the State of Qi, but it was only because the monarchs after King King Zhaowang of Yan were incompetent that the State of Yan declined again.

Yan Dan was confident that as long as he ascended the throne and became the King of Yan, he could make the State of Yan return to the prosperity of the reign of King King Zhaowang of Yan.

But all these things had a premise.

That was, Lord Changping was truly trustworthy. If Lord Changping could not be trusted, and he implemented this matter, it would only make the State of Yan a target for the Qin Guo to vent its anger. By that time, all the anger of the Qin Guo would be vented on the State of Yan, and Lord Changping would not even need to do anything to gain some time for the State of Chu out of thin air.

I do not know when it started, but time had become the most precious thing for the countries of the Shandong region.

The pace of the Qin Guo's conquest of other countries was too urgent and too fast, so fast that the countries of the Shandong region had no time to react at all.

After parting with Tian Guang, Yan Dan returned to his mansion.

The conversation with Tian Guang today gave him many ideas.

His mood was very chaotic, and he needed to spend some time digesting this information.

And in this plan, there was one crucial thing: could Lord Changping be trusted? The relationship between the Agricultural School and Lord Changping surprised him and also made him have some new ideas.

Tian Guang approaching him was very likely not because he admired him and wanted to serve him, but very likely because of Lord Changping's instruction.

But conversely, if Lord Changping really had some intentions, he could not have let Tian Guang say these secrets.

Tian Guang taking the initiative to say these secrets in front of him was not a form of honesty?

But whether to follow what Tian Guang said and carry out the assassination of Seeing Ying Zheng, he had not yet decided.

The implications of this matter were too great, and whether it succeeded or failed, there were great risks, so he had to think about it carefully.

Time passed slowly.

On this day, Wang Jian's army attacked Handan. Even though the people of Zhao tried their best to block it, they still could not avoid the news of Handan falling. With the fall of Handan, the powerful official of Zhao, Guo Kai, and the Crown Prince Zhao Qian, who had not yet officially ascended the throne, were taken prisoner, and the State of Zhao was declared destroyed.

It was also after the news of the fall of Handan spread that the deposed Crown Prince Zhao Jia in the Dai region brazenly raised an army and declared himself king. This could be considered a disguised continuation of the State of Zhao's state, but it was only a continuation in name.

With the vast majority of the State of Zhao's territory occupied by the Qin Guo, this country had essentially perished.

After the news of the destruction of the State of Zhao spread back to the Qin Guo, the King of Qin, Seeing Ying Zheng, was naturally overjoyed, and then he made a decision: he decided to visit Handan in person.

Seeing Ying Zheng making such a decision was not accidental.

Regarding the State of Zhao, Seeing Ying Zheng's impression was extremely deep because his childhood was spent in the State of Zhao.

Back then, his father had been a hostage in the State of Zhao and later, with the help of Lu Buwei, escaped back to the Qin Guo, but he and his mother were forced to stay in the State of Zhao. Because his father had escaped, and at that time, the Battle of Changping had not ended long ago, the entire State of Zhao was full of hatred for the Qin Guo, so one could imagine how unpleasant his childhood was.

Even after returning to the Qin Guo, sometimes, Seeing Ying Zheng would still think of the past in the State of Zhao.

And because of these embarrassing past events, he had no good feelings for the State of Zhao or Handan. Now that the State of Zhao was destroyed, he naturally had to visit Handan again to show off his power.

When Seeing Ying Zheng went to Handan, Su Xuan, Gao Jianli, and others naturally had to accompany him. Even, because this time was different from going to the State of Han and was a private act, his retinue was quite grand.

In the city of Handan, Seeing Ying Zheng saw Guo Kai, who had a servant's attitude and kept flattering him, and also saw the trembling Zhao Qian, and suddenly felt that the once arrogant State of Zhao was nothing more than that, truly somewhat unbearable.

After the trip to the State of Zhao ended, Seeing Ying Zheng took many prisoners of the State of Zhao and headed toward Xianyang.

Su Xuan did not go to Xianyang but said to the accompanying Dongjun Yanfei, "I need to go to the State of Yan. The affairs of the Yin-Yang School will be temporarily left to you and the Moon Goddess!"

Dongjun Yanfei nodded. Although she was curious about why Su Xuan was going to the State of Yan, she did not accompany him.

After all, she was not interested in the State of Yan either.

In the land of the State of Yan, when the news of Handan falling and the State of Zhao perishing spread again, the people of the entire country were in an uproar, and King Xi of Yan was terrified to the extreme.

He was afraid that after the Qin Guo destroyed the State of Zhao, they would aim their military edge at the State of Yan and then destroy it.

He considered himself not a wise monarch, but he did not want to be a monarch of a destroyed country either!

In the Crown Prince's mansion, Yan Dan was also terrified.

The worst thing finally happened: the destruction of the State of Zhao did not block the Qin Guo for even a moment.

After the State of Han was destroyed earlier, there were only five countries in Shandong. Now, with the State of Zhao destroyed, only four remained, among which the State of Qi had always been on good terms with the Qin Guo and could be ignored.

The remaining three were the State of Yan, the Wei Guo, and the State of Chu. The State of Chu was the strongest, and the Qin Guo should not attack the State of Chu in the short term.

The remaining State of Yan and Wei Guo seemed to have a fifty-fifty probability, but the State of Yan was the weakest, so the State of Yan was also the most dangerous.

"I must make up my mind!"

A ruthless look flashed in Yan Dan's eyes. For the sake of the State of Yan, he could spare no cost.

After making up his mind, he wrote a letter immediately and had someone send it to the Six-Fingered Black Hero.

As the Six-Fingered Black Hero rushed over, just like when he was in the Qin Guo, six words immediately escaped his lips: "I ask the Leader to help me!"
