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

Chapter 950: Save the country from danger, and support the country from survival! The King of Yan was silent and broke his defense!
Li Ke asked in disbelief, "Besides this, no other requests?"

The foolish man nodded and said, "Other than that, I have no other requirements!"

Hanfu spoke very decisively, but Li Ke still couldn't believe what Hanfu said.

So much so that after a few moments of hesitation, Li Ke actually bowed and asked, "Forgive me for being so rude, but I wonder if my brother Hanxian has brought the letter from Lord Chang'an?"

The foolish man was slightly startled, and could not help but look at Li Ke as if he were a fool and said, "Lord Li, I am a spy who sneaked into the Yan army camp, not an envoy."

"sneak into!"

As if afraid that Li Ke didn't understand, Hanfu even repeated the word "infiltrate".

Have you ever seen a spy sneaking into the enemy camp carrying a handwritten letter with the seal of our commander-in-chief?
Isn’t that just looking for death?

Ordinary spies will die if they die, but I am a trusted confidant of the Chang'an Army. Do I need to risk my own life to deliver a letter to you?
Moreover, the message that Hanfu conveyed was not complicated or dangerous to Li Ke. He just wanted to ask Li Ke to be an envoy to Yan. Was it necessary to write another handwritten letter?

Li Ke also realized how outrageous his question was, and hurriedly bowed and said, "I am Li's junior, please don't blame me, my foolish brother! Don't blame me!"

"It's just that Lord Chang'an's kindness to me is really great!"

“For a moment, Li couldn’t believe it!”

Li Ke sighed with mixed feelings in his heart, "Chang'an Jun said that he wanted to ask me to send troops to help Qin State."

"Of course, Li is not a mean person who cannot distinguish right from wrong and does not know gratitude."

"How can this be considered a trust?"

"Mr. Chang'an is clearly doing me another great service!"

From the perspective of Ying Chengjiao and the Qin State, Li Ke's push for Yan State to seek help from Qin State was a favorable move to curb the expansion of Dai State, which could greatly reduce the difficulty of the Qin State's unification cause and fully serve the interests of the Qin State.

But from Li Ke's perspective, Ying Chengjiao's move undoubtedly gave Li Ke the opportunity to save the Yan State from danger, and also pushed Li Ke to become a patriotic minister who helped the Yan State out of danger!!!
In the past, he negotiated with Qin and preserved the territory of Yan State. In the middle, he led the army to counterattack and bought time for the army to rest and move forward. In the later period, he protected the country in times of danger and saved the country from extinction.

Since three great achievements were attributed to one person, Li Ke wanted to ask something.

Who else but him can be the Prime Minister!!!
The silly husband's expression did not change, he just said in a deep voice: "I can't see the key point clearly."

"I only know that this is what my patriarch asked me to do. I beg Lord Li to lend a helping hand to my patriarch!"

"I am infiltrating the military camp and cannot carry a large amount of money with me."

"My comrades have already placed five pounds of gold in the dense forest eight miles southeast of Lingzhi Pass."

"After the task is completed, I will give you another ten kilograms of gold!"

As he spoke, the simple man took out a scroll of Kunyu map from his bosom and spread it out on the table. The routes, landmarks and directions were clearly marked on it. It was obvious what was buried under the landmarks.

Li Ke's face changed slightly: "What is Chang'an Jun doing?"

"Lord Chang'an has shown me a favor. I already feel uneasy because I cannot repay him. How can Lord Chang'an give me more gold?"

"Brother Hanxian, you should quickly take out these valuables and return them to Lord Chang'an!"

The fool pushed the Kunyu map forward, stood up, saluted and said, "I am only delivering the message on behalf of the master, I cannot make a decision."

"Now that the message from my patriarch has arrived, as a member of the Qin Army, it is not convenient for me to stay here for long."

"Please ask Lord Li to escort me out of Lingzhi Pass and return to the camp to report."

Li Ke also stood up upon seeing this, and tried to persuade him to stay, "Brother Hanxian, I respect your loyalty and righteousness!"

"Yes! It's cold now, you can drink a glass of wine to warm yourself up before setting off."

"Now the defense of the city is in the hands of Li, so there will be no accidents!"

Li Ke tried his best to present good wine and food without arousing Yan Wangxi's suspicion.

But even though the silly man's lips were dry and cracked, he did not eat a grain of millet or drink a sip of water.

Now, facing Li Ke's enthusiastic invitation, the simple man still shook his head firmly and said, "No need!"

"I still have a heavy responsibility on my shoulders!"

Seeing his foolish husband like this, Li Ke could only sigh and bow, saying, "Brother Han, you are truly a righteous man!"

"This title is for my honest brother!"

Li Ke drank the wine in the cup to the full, then walked to Han Fu, picked up Han Fu's cup, and drank the wine in Han Fu's cup to the full to show that he had no intention of poisoning Han Fu, and then greeted enthusiastically: "Come here!"

"Send Brother Hanxian out of the camp!"

After personally arranging personnel, giving instructions to his confidants, and making every effort to send the foolish man away from Lingzhisai, Li Ke paced back and forth in the tent.

After careful planning, Li Ke finally ordered his family soldiers to lift the tent curtain, and then he was supported by the family soldiers and floated back to the city gate tower.

"Beloved?"

Seeing the weak Li Ke being helped back by his family soldiers, King Yan was surprised, and then deeply moved. He quickly stepped forward and said with a distressed look on his face: "I have issued a royal decree, asking you to get enough sleep for half a day."

"My dear, why did you return to the front line after only sleeping for an hour?"

"My dear, are you trying to disobey my order?"

Li Ke managed to force a smile and said, "How dare I disobey your order?"

"But I am worried about the country of Great Yan and the safety of the king, and I cannot sleep soundly in my tent."

"As I tossed and turned, my mind was filled with thoughts of war."

"Instead of wasting time on the couch, why not go to the front line and lead the way for the king!"

Prince Xi of Yan held Li Ke's arms with both hands, and said with increasing satisfaction: "How could you be like this, my dear minister?!"

"My dear, you should rest well and conserve your energy for the next battle!"

"I am still waiting for you to lead my Great Yan warriors to repel the Dai army and fight back to the Yan Palace!" Li Ke's smile was a little more painful. He looked at Yan Wangxi with hazy eyes and asked: "Your Majesty, do I still have a chance to return to the Yan Palace?"

Prince Yan's heart skipped a beat. The smile on his face slowly disappeared, replaced by an intense coldness, and he couldn't help feeling dissatisfied.

If Li Ke had not made great contributions in this battle and was not quite loved by King Yanxi, King Yanxi would have broken two of his ribs just based on what Li Ke said now!
Li Ke didn't care about the change in Yan Wangxi's expression. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I am well aware of the current predicament of our Great Yan. All I think about is how to defeat the enemy."

"Well, please forgive me for my incompetence. I have been tossing and turning for a long time but I can't think of a plan to defeat the enemy, or even a plan to hold on to the enemy!"

Seeing that the cold expression on King Xi of Yan's face could no longer be suppressed, Li Ke did not dare to lay the groundwork any further and said immediately: "Fortunately, thanks to the great blessing of the king, I had a flash of inspiration and finally came up with a plan that may help our Great Yan solve its difficulties!"

The dissatisfaction in King Xi of Yan's eyes was quickly replaced by expectation: "What good plan have you come up with, my dear minister?"

"You should tell me quickly!"

Li Ke looked directly into the eyes of King Xi of Yan and said word by word: "Ask Qin for help!"

The expectation in King Yan's eyes faded, and he shook his head and said, "I know very well that you are determined to protect the country."

"But, my dear, your idea is a little too simple."

"Although I was forced by the King of Dai, I eventually formed an alliance with the two states of Dai and Qi to attack Qin, which made the King of Qin hate Great Yan deeply."

"Your Excellency has persuaded Qin to accept a truce in exchange for only two million shi of grain and five hundred thousand pieces of cloth, which has shocked and delighted me."

"How can you persuade Qin to put aside the hatred between Qin and Yan and send troops to help Yan attack Dai?"

When he was defeated in a series of battles and retreated repeatedly, King Xi of Yan had thought about asking Qin for help.

But in a flash, King Xi of Yan gave up this idea.

Ever since Yan Dan sent Jing Ke to assassinate Ying Zheng, the two countries of Qin and Yan have had a deep hatred for each other. How could Qin be willing to help Yan fight Dai!
However, Li Ke was not discouraged at all and said: "The hatred between Qin and Yan is heavy, and the hatred between Qin and Dai is also heavy."

"Please forgive me for speaking frankly."

"Compared to a powerful Yan State, Qin State is even less willing to see a powerful Dai State!"

"Now Yan and Dai are at war. If Yan is strong, Dai will be weak, and if Yan is weak, Dai will be strong."

"Even if Qin is only considering its own interests, it should help Dayan!"

After hearing what Li Ke said, King Yan was silent and then his defense was broken!
King Xi of Yan wanted to refute Li Ke. The powerful Yan State and the powerful Dai State posed the same threat to the Qin State!

But King Xi of Yan couldn't say these words no matter what.

Because King Xi of Yan knew that Li Ke was telling the truth!
The State of Yan, which lacked wise ministers and generals, was indeed unable to pose a strong threat to the State of Qin like the State of Dai.

King Yanxi laughed at himself: "The only hope for Great Yan to save the country in a desperate situation is that Great Yan is not a threat to Qin?!"

Li Ke said solemnly: "Your Majesty is much more benevolent and righteous than the King of Dai."

"The abilities of my colleagues are far superior to those of the ministers of Dai State."

"The threat to Qin from Great Yan is relatively small, only because there is no general like Dai Wu'an Jun in Great Yan."

"As long as Your Majesty respects the wise and humbles himself and recruits talents from all over the world, it won't take a few years for Great Yan to let Qin know what a real threat is!"

Prince Yan felt a little more excited.

Not bad!

Compared with the State of Dai, the only thing that our Great Yan lacks is a Li Mu!

As long as I can recruit a general as brave as Li Mu, Great Yan will be able to avenge our previous humiliation!
But the King of Yan shook his head casually and said, "My dear minister, there is no need to comfort me."

"What you said, my dear minister, I think is true."

"In this case, Qin has a reason to send troops to rescue our Great Yan!"

"However, it is still not easy to persuade Qin to send troops!"

Li Ke bowed his hands solemnly and said: "Your Majesty, I would like to be an envoy for Great Yan to the State of Qin."

"I will not return to the capital without reinforcements!"

Prince Xi of Yan was deeply moved.

But as he listened to the shouts of the two armies and glanced at the Dai army fighting bravely outside the city, King Xi of Yan began to feel a little more worried.

My dear, are you sure that swearing not to return to the court is a punishment for you?

However, King Xi of Yan had no way to test Li Ke's loyalty with words, nor could he give up this good strategy to save the country.

Finally, King Yan was so happy that he said loudly, "Take the golden seal! The purple ribbon!"

Li Ke looked surprised and said in astonishment: "My king, what are you doing!!!"

Prince Xi of Yan took the golden seal and purple ribbon from the eunuch, handed them to Li Ke with both hands, and said in a friendly and sincere voice: "Your merits deserve generous rewards and promotion."

"Your Excellency will go to Qin to lobby, and your high position will also provide you with some convenience."

"Today, I have specially promoted you to be the Prime Minister of Great Yan. I only hope that you will help me!"

Although Li Ke had expected this, he still showed gratitude on his face, and said loudly: "I am so lucky to have the king's trust!"

"My lord, thank you, Your Majesty!"

King Xi of Yan hurriedly helped Li Ke up and gently warned him, "The battle is going on right now, I am really sorry for neglecting you, my dear minister!"

"When you return from your mission, I will hold a grand banquet to celebrate your return!"

Li Ke nodded vigorously: "I will not fail in your mission!"
