When I was in Qin Dynasty, I lost contact with the wave

Chapter 561 The envoy of the State of Yan presented Dukang with nine guests?

Where is the richest area in Yan State?

The land of Yannan!

Among the lands in Yannan, the most fertile land is the plain and hilly area located to the north of Yishui and south of Jicheng, which is later known as Guangyang County.

Today, the name of this land is Dukang.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Yan destroyed the State of Ji and moved the center of the country from Liaodong to Jicheng. From then on, the State of Yan had two fertile soil foundations, Yannan in the southwest and Liaodong in the northeast.

Especially Liaodong, from a certain perspective, has become the strategic foundation of the Yan State. As long as Liaodong is still there, even if Jicheng is lost, the Yan State will not be considered destroyed, and there will still be a chance for a comeback.

However, although the land of Liaodong is rich in products and fertile land, it is limited by the cold temperature. Whether it is fishing, hunting, farming, or farming, there are many restrictions.

Dukang in Yannan is completely different. The climate is mild and rainy, and the land is fertile and suitable for farming. It has become the most valuable and important granary. The fact that Yan State was able to establish itself during the Warring States Period was most likely due to the land of Yannan.

However, Cai Wu, the Prime Minister of Yan State, revealed the signal that Yan State planned to donate the land of Dukang. I have to say that this is definitely a great sincerity!

The Yan State, which lost the land of Dukang, can be said to have suffered a heavy blow, and it was impossible to recover most of the damage within ten years. The economic center of the Yan State was transferred, taxes were greatly reduced, and the national power was greatly damaged. This is far better than Pass the land of Nanyang offered by King An of Han.

The ministers who can come to Zhangtai Palace to participate in Yingzheng's small court meeting are all famous ministers and generals in the court. Whether it is from the military, political, economic and other aspects, the sincerity of Yan State this time is very clear. Quite sufficient!

To be honest, when the news came from Cai Ze, all the important ministers in the court were very excited. Isn't it great joy to win a piece of sacred land without any blood and conquer Yan State, a long-established power?

As for worrying that Yan Guo has ulterior motives?

Guarding a palace and cutting off her tail in order to survive, if she wants to cut off her arms and kill her wife, how can anyone rip out their heart and liver to feign surrender?

One can live with a broken tail, and one can live with a broken arm, but if one loses one's heart and soul, one will surely die. The land of Dukang is the heart and soul of the Yan State. At least most of the important ministers believe that the Yan State's move must be a sincere surrender, but a small number of people do not think so. They all favored the State of Yan, perhaps intending to surrender, but they did not make a conclusion out of caution.

However, Ying Zheng, the King of Qin, did not believe this at all.

"There is no way Yan State will give up!"

If it were Qi or Wei, Ying Zheng would believe it, but only Yan... Ying Zheng didn't think that his former passionate friend, Prince Dan of Yan, would give up.

Although Yan Dan, the authority, didn't pay much attention to Yan Dan's behavior in building up momentum for Yan Dan, countries all over the world had heard about it. It was obvious that Yan Wang Xi wanted to support Yan Dan to the throne.

Therefore, if Yan Dan and Yan Wang Xi have opposite opinions, Yan Wang Xi will never ignore Yan Dan's thoughts, and with Yan Dan's temperament, even if all means are exhausted, he will fight until the last moment and will never choose to surrender or surrender. .

"Your Majesty, I don't think that the Yan State will just bow its head."

Ying Zheng and Yan Dan were once close friends and had a deep understanding of each other. Zhang Ji, on the other hand, had a deeper understanding and understanding of Yan Dan than Ying Zheng due to his innate intelligence advantages in history, plot and other aspects. Cognition.

Although a person like Yan Dan is despicable, ruthless, and extremely hypocritical, his will is extremely strong and he will never choose to surrender or surrender.

Moreover, Luo Wang and the Mo family have already obtained a lot of information about the Yan Kingdom.

"Luo Wang obtained information from the State of Yan. Prince Dan of Yan objected to King Yan's proposal to accept the Imperial Seal and invite him to serve as a vassal. He opposed it in front of the civil and military officials of the court, and was expelled from Jicheng by King Yan and was driven away. He served as the supervisor of the army in Liaodong, and accompanied the Yan army to conquer Jizi Korea, expanding the territory for 700 miles, and winning over many generals in the army."

"Moreover, Yan Dan gathered many of his confidants in Liaodong, such as Yan Taifu Ju Wu, Yan General Qin Qin and others, as well as Qin Wuyang, the grandson of Qin Kai, the former general of Yan State."

Qin Kai, although this name is not too dazzling in the history books of later generations, nor is it too famous throughout the Warring States Period, but that is only because he has never participated in the struggle for hegemony in the Central Plains and devoted his life to fighting against the barbarians.

Qin Kai was born in the Qin family of Lu State. He served as a hostage in Donghu in his early years and was trusted by Donghu. He took the opportunity to learn about Donghu's customs, military geography and other conditions.

On the way to sell horses, Qin Kai, who had planned for a long time, broke away from the team. It happened that Yan's troops were passing by on patrol. After Qin Kai returned to the country, King Yan Zhao appointed him as a general. Qin Kai began to train soldiers, and then defeated Donghu, forcing Donghu to retreat more than a thousand miles to the north. He also crossed the Liao River to attack Ji's North Korea, reaching Manfanhan as the border, and took With an area of ​​more than 2,000 miles, the Yan State was given five counties: Shanggu, Yuyang, Youbeiping, Liaoxi, and Liaodong. This made the Yan State leapfrog the three countries of Zhao, Qi, and Han in terms of size, and became a great country after Qin and Chu. Ranked third among the countries and built the Great Wall of Yan.

"The grandson of Qin Kai?"

A group of generals suddenly became interested in Qin Wuyang. Although the Qin State implemented a military merit system and to some extent generals with civilian backgrounds appeared, everyone would take a second look at the descendants of famous generals.

It's not a blood theory, but only the blood relatives of famous generals can have access to the experience and insights accumulated by these famous generals in leading their troops throughout their lives.

Although the art of war is rare, with the spread of the art of war written by great military strategists such as "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and "Sun Bin's Art of War", it is not difficult for those who are interested in learning the art of war to obtain it, especially after the promotion of paper and books.

However, the experience and insights accumulated throughout a lifetime by those famous generals and their troops are the most rare and priceless treasures that can never be passed on to others!

"How is Qin Wuyang?"

Ying Zheng is also extremely interested in famous generals from various countries, but unlike generals who are afraid of their enemies, he also wants to take advantage of these famous generals from various countries, such as Gongsun Yu, Pang Nuan, Bai Jin, Bai Yifei and Li Mu .

But everyone saw Zhang Ji calmly shaking his head: "Although he is brave, he is reckless."

"Qin Wuyang was extremely powerful since he was a child, but he was unusually brave, but he was impulsive and irritable. He killed him because of his mouth at the age of thirteen. Yan Dan accepted him as a guest and sin." "This man's martial arts talent fell down Extraordinary people, but with such a mind, it is easy to break if it is too strong, it will never last long, and it will be even harder to step into the realm of a master."

"If you are not a master in martial arts, you are all an ant."

In fact, the Mohist family had intended to recruit Qin Wuyang as a disciple of the Mohist family, but Qin Wuyang's character really gave the Six-Fingered Black Man a headache.

Just visiting the Mohist school with Yan Dan, he got into fights with the Mohist disciples and seriously injured six Mohist disciples during the fight.

Although his talent is eye-catching, if a madman who does not know how to attack his future classmates during the competition will become a master in the world in the future, wouldn't he be even more unscrupulous, just like those evil madmen in the world?

So the Mohist family finally rejected Qin Wuyang. What Qin Wuyang learned was not the Mohist inner strength and mental method as in the original plot, but the peasant family's inner strength and mental method.

"If this is the case, he is indeed a reckless man with nothing to worry about. Even that fool can easily capture and kill this person."

Wang Jian glanced at a certain Zhuzi who had recently moved out of the mansion and lived alone in Zuosu Chang's Mansion, and mentioned Wang Ben unceremoniously in front of everyone, as if he was praising or humiliating him.

Wang Ben didn't reply, and just looked at Wang Jian.

Although Wang Jian's words don't sound so good, they are indeed true.

If Wang Ben wants to capture and kill such a person, it is simply killing a chicken with a knife.

On the side, Meng Wu, as someone who had been there, saw the atmosphere was a little awkward and tried to change the topic back to Qin Wuyang.

“Where did this peasant technique come from?”

Zhang Ji also looked at Wang Jian and Wang Ben's father and son with some helplessness. He had made peace in private these days, but since ancient times, father and son have always had this kind of relationship where they clearly care about each other, but they quarrel constantly, and their mouths are louder than their bones. Hard.

Zhang Ji shook his head, took over Meng Wu's words, and said, "The leader of the peasant family, Tian Guang."

Naturally, the Nongjia's inner strength and mental methods come from Yan Dan's close friend Nongjia Kui Tian Guang, and only he is qualified to teach others the Nongjia's inner strength and mental methods without reservation.

At first, Tian Guang lived in the Yan Kingdom incognito, wandered around the Yan Kingdom as a Jie Xia, and became the disciple and close friend of Prince Dan of Yan.

Tian Guang also chose to bet Yan Dan, the ambitious prince, and provided countless conveniences to the Yan Kingdom.

After careful calculation, although Yan Dan lost the support of the Moh family, he also received support from the farmers. And unknowingly, a group of people with extraordinary talents have indeed gathered around Yan Dan, at least they all have their own strengths.

And everyone didn't discuss it for long before Feng Changqing sent someone to report that the ceremony for the nine guests had been completely arranged.

Then, the bells of Xianyang Palace rang loudly.

The State of Qin arranged the largest etiquette during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period - the Nine Guest Ceremony, to show that Qin State attached great importance to Yan State this time, and to demonstrate its sincerity.

The Nine Guest Ceremony was originally the highest etiquette for the Emperor of Zhou to receive the princes from all over the world during the spring dynasty meeting.

"The Rites of Zhou·Da Xingren" says: "(The Son of Heaven) springs towards the princes and plans the affairs of the world... to be close to the princes."

The so-called nine guests refer to the nine levels of guests: Duke, Hou, Bo, Zi, Nan, Gu, Qing, Dafu and Shi.

Among them, the first four classes of guests are princes, and the last five classes of guests are various ministers and officials with varying amounts of fiefdoms.

The ritual of the Nine Guests is complicated and complex. There are only three ways of bowing to different guests: Tian Yi, Shi Yi, and Shi Yi. Long-term practice by non-professional ministers is not enough to fully realize it. By the time of the Warring States Period, after the collapse of etiquette and music during the Spring and Autumn Period, it was no longer possible to faithfully reproduce all of this complicated etiquette.

However, the ceremony of this meeting is still named "The Ceremony of Nine Guests", which is to declare to the world that Qin will dominate the world, and the King of Qin will also become the common ruler of the world, so the etiquette for receiving the special envoy of King Yan will be It gives the meaning of "the emperor springs to the princes and plans the affairs of the world".

In practical terms, it not only expresses the importance of Yan State, but also solemnly demonstrates the majesty of Qin State and shows the demeanor of Qin State's generals as kings of the world.

It's just that when Zhang Ji saw this scene, he suddenly felt an...indescribable feeling in his heart.

The envoy of the State of Yan presented Dukang with nine guests?

What a complete set of elements!
