My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 781 Changan Jun actually knew he was going home! Who is the older brother between us?

If Yan Dan had not sent assassins to kill Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng would be furious at this moment, and would even go to war at all costs to avenge Yan Dan!

Unfortunately, there is no if in reality.

Although the assassin sent by Yan Dan failed to kill Ying Zheng, he had already killed the friendship between Ying Zheng and Yan Dan.

Before Yan Dan died at the order of King Xi of Yan, he had already died in Ying Zheng's heart!
Now, hearing that the first, only, and last friend in his life had passed away both conceptually and physically, Ying Zheng did not feel much pleasure in revenge, but instead felt endless sadness, loneliness, and sighs.

People are about to break!

But what does the death of Ying Zheng have to do with the officials of the Qin Dynasty?
Wang Wan didn't care whether Yan Dan lived or died. He just stared at Wang Bo and asked anxiously in a low voice: "Then what? Then what!"

"Will Lord Chang'an agree?!"

Wei Liao even took two steps forward unconsciously, craning his neck to look at the bamboo slips in Wang Bo's hand, trying to find an angle where he could see the words on the slips.

Facing the wolf-like green gazes of the ministers, Wang Bo couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and his speech speed unconsciously sped up a bit: "I know that war is a major national event, and it should be decided by the court."

"However, Fucheng and Xianyang are more than 2,000 miles apart, and the Taihang Mountains separate the two places, making transportation difficult."

"If we wait for the court's decision, we may miss the opportunity for peace."

"In order to seize this rare peace, I, your humble servant, have personally requested that the envoy of Dai join our army, and the three parties of Qin, Dai, and Yan have held talks in Fucheng."

"After in-depth communication, exchange of opinions and friendly consultations among Qin, Dai and Yan, they finally reached an agreement on stopping the war."

"Yan is willing to give the land of Dukang and the twenty-five cities of Anguo, Sangqiu, Quni and others to the south of Dukang to the Qin State, and also give the Qin State 1.5 million shi of grain and grass."

"Yan is willing to give six cities including Juyang and Juyongsai to Dai, and also give Dai 400,000 stones of grain and grass."

"Yan is willing to give the eight cities of Pingshu, Zhongyi, Fuyang and Raoan to Qi."

"Yan Wangxi personally carried a thorny stick on his back to Jichu to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, confessing his fault for not educating his son properly as an atonement!"

"The war between Qin and Yan ends here!"

Wei Liao could no longer hold back and laughed heartily: "Cheers! Cheers! Big hurrah!"

"Hahaha~"

"This battle is over!"

Han Cang slapped his thigh excitedly: "Not only did Chang'an Jun call for a truce, he also earned back 1.5 million shi of grain for our Great Qin!"

"In this way, we can basically make up for the food and fodder our army lost in this battle."

"Big win!"

There was laughter and joy in the imperial study of Daqin.

For a moment, it was difficult to tell whether this was the imperial study of the Qin Dynasty or the imperial study of the Yan State.

Wang Bo had no choice but to raise his voice and continue, "After friendly consultations with the envoy, I decided not to send troops north and made a private appointment with the envoy."

"The Laishui River was the boundary between Qin and Dai. The area northwest of the Laishui River belonged to Dai, the area northeast of the Laishui River belonged to Yan, and the area south of the Laishui River belonged to Qin."

"The war between Qin and Zhao will not prolong the Qin Dynasty!"

"The King of Dai has given the Dai envoy full authority over the Qin-Dai alliance. If Your Majesty agrees to this outcome, I beg Your Majesty to send an envoy to Fucheng to discuss and negotiate with the Dai envoy in detail."

Wei Liao stood up suddenly and looked at Wang Bo in disbelief: "Laishui?"

"The two states of Qin and the dynasty will use the Laishui River as the boundary and stop fighting?!"

Wang Bo took another look at the bamboo slips and said seriously, "It is indeed Laishui."

Wei Liao laughed out loud: "Hahahaha~"

"Good! Very good!"

"Chang'an Jun never continued to attack Dai because of its emptiness. He only used the Laishui River as the boundary to divide the territories of Qin and Dai, and never bullied others by taking advantage of his victory."

"This is indeed the way to serve the country!"

Wei Zhuang also had a bright smile on his face: "What surprised me most was that Lord Chang'an took the initiative to transfer the Pingshu cities east of Julu County to Qi." "In this way, Yan State will still border Qi State."

"Now that Yan has suffered a heavy loss and is surrounded by only Qin, Dai, and Qi, Yan can only attack Qi if it wants to make up for its losses."

"Qi will have to stand more closely beside our Great Qin."

"But Chang'an Jun's move was made out of consideration for Qi's compliance with the alliance and assistance to Qin, so he gave Qi eight cities and gave Qi real benefits."

"Qi should thank Lord Chang'an!"

Wang Wan smiled as if he had just survived a disaster and said, "According to this calculation, in this battle, our Great Qin only expanded the territory of Handan County, and also took 30% of the territory of Shanggu County, 60% of the territory of Hengshan County, and 70% of the territory of Julu County."

"It's about two and a half counties!"

"Although it is still quite difficult to govern these two and a half counties with the power of the current Qin Dynasty."

"Of course, when Chang'an Jun's troops return victorious, many of his generals will be able to go to various places to serve as officials."

"If the local officials can just put in more effort, my Great Qin should be able to take over these two and a half counties!"

Feng Quji said softly, "According to the time, the first batch of students of the Daqin Military Academy should be graduating by now, right?"

The important officials of the Qin Dynasty looked at each other and saw that everyone else was smiling in ease.

When they heard that Ying Chengjiao was heading north from Neihuang City to hunt down Yan Dan, they had even prepared themselves mentally for Ying Chengjiao to go all the way north to attack Jicheng, conquer the State of Yan, and then turn back to cooperate with Wang Jian's troops to capture Wei County and conquer the three kingdoms of Zhao, Yan, and Dai in one battle!
But what the Qin officials did not expect was that Ying Chengjiao actually controlled himself, and even remained rational during the negotiations among the three countries, putting the interests of Qin first. He did not insist on expanding the territory, but regarded the territory as a bargaining chip, and easily allowed Yan, Dai and Qi to continue to threaten each other, thus obtaining the most favorable territorial distribution pattern for Qin!

How could the officials of the Qin Dynasty not be happy!

What made the officials of the Qin Dynasty even happier was that Chang'an Jun had matured! He had learned to control himself!
He actually knew to go home!!!
Although Wang Bo hadn't finished reading the military report, the ministers couldn't wait to face Ying Zheng and bow, "Your Highness, congratulations!"

"Congratulations to Great Qin!"

Ying Zheng was also happy.

But the blow of his old friend's death made it difficult for Ying Zheng to laugh from the bottom of his heart. He could only force a smile and said: "This is not only my joy, but also the credit of you, my dear ministers!"

"Order the Minister of Rites Zhuangchou to set out immediately to negotiate with Dai and discuss the issue of Qin and Dai stopping the war!"

"The war has developed to this point, and has far exceeded the plan before the war. We must call a truce as soon as possible to help our Great Qin."

Zhuang Qiu immediately stepped out and bowed: "Yes!"

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Continue reading the military report!"

Waving his hand to order Wang Bo to continue reading the military report, Ying Zheng took out the thinner bamboo slips from his sleeve and gently unfolded them.

[Brother, I have fulfilled my mission and avenged myself! ]

[But I also know that revenge is revenge, and righteousness is righteousness. I think even if Prince Dan of Yan sent an assassin to kill me, I would not be completely hateful towards Prince Dan of Yan. At least, I would not only hate him after Prince Dan of Yan died.]

【I understand.】

[I have already taken revenge. Even if you bury Prince Dan of Yan with great honor, no one in the world will dare to stab you again.]

[I have obtained the body of Yan Taizi Dan from Dai Wu'an Jun, and will bring it back to Daqin along with the head of Yan Taizi Dan to be dealt with by my brother.]

This time, Ying Chengjiao rarely showed any expression.

But Ying Chengjiao's few words struck the softest spot in Ying Zheng's heart.

Ying Chengjiao was well aware of Ying Zheng's complicated feelings towards Yan Dan, but he did not develop any jealousy or seek revenge for his own selfish reasons without considering the overall situation.

Ying Chengjiao was using his madness and cruelty to announce to the world the price to be paid for assassinating Ying Zheng.

Only when the hundreds of thousands of heads cut off by Ying Chengjiao were piled up beside Ying Zheng, could Ying Zheng freely display his magnanimity and the loyalty between Ying Zheng and Yan Dan, without being regarded as weak and easy to bully by the people of the world!

Looking at the few lines of text on the bamboo slips, Ying Zheng's eyes slightly reddened, and he laughed and cursed softly: "This bastard!"

"Is he the eldest brother or am I the eldest brother?"
