"So, remember, we are not invaders or betrayers, we are just lonely warriors guarding the country's borders. Even if the whole world doesn't understand us, we still have to know what we are doing!"

After seeing Gongsun Linglong's enlightenment, Yan Yan also regained his outward momentum.

"We are helping Zhao Guo guard Yanmen Pass and the northern territory of Daijun. We are givers, not takers. Therefore, as givers, shouldn't Zhao Guo give Bingzhou a certain reward?"

Yan Yan looked straight at Gongsun Linglong.

This is a change in status. If Bingzhou is an invader, an occupier, or a betrayer, it will only be a nameless act, and it will lose its righteousness. Naturally, it will be at a moral disadvantage in negotiations with Zhao.

However, they are not. They are working for the State of Zhao and guarding the northern border for the State of Zhao. Isn't it appropriate for the State of Zhao to pay wages?
Looking at the states of Yan and Qin, they clearly positioned themselves. They asked for and gave to Bingzhou, asking for people and giving things to others.

That is to say, the State of Zhao kept dancing all day long, saying everywhere that they were traitors, invaders, and robbers!
Without the support of Bingzhou, could Li Mu safely train the current 50,000-strong army in Danlin, Linhu and Yanmenguan?
For the State of Zhao, Bingzhou was the most benevolent and righteous act.

If we talk about betrayal, Zhao was the first to betray. How many years had it been since Yunzhong, Jiuyuan and even Gaoquesai were abandoned by Zhao? How dare you accuse them of betrayal?
"Linglong knows what to do!" After figuring out the key and repositioning the state, Gongsun Linglong also understood how to negotiate with Zhao Guo.

"No, you don't know!" Yan Yan shook his head again.

Gongsun Linglong's beautiful eyes widened, is this Bingzhou's tyranny?

"Bingzhou is domineering!" Yan Yan said seriously, "Your petty quarrels cannot scare Handan. With a little investigation, you will know that Qin Yan's attack on Zhao is just a rumor!"

National interests are the basis for determining state-to-state relations and vice versa.

After all, Bingzhou is really in trouble. Who can refuse such an ally's modest request?

"Linglong has a question!" Gongsun Linglong hesitated and didn't know whether to ask.

"Bingzhou disdains these little tricks!"

"Ah?" Gongsun Linglong was confused.

But she didn't have the slightest doubt. Based on Bingjun's relationship with King Qin and King Yan, if Bingjun really sent a message to the two countries, the two kings might really send troops to cooperate with this performance, or even fake it!
Once that happens, whether Zhao is willing or not, he must compromise on the matter of merging the state, otherwise it will be difficult for the army at Yanmen Pass to retreat south.

As for Li Mu, when it comes to this level of competition, there isn't much he can do. Bringing back 50,000 troops is just eating grass and squeezing blood. What else can Handan ask of him?

"So, what we are playing is real. Guhui summons Xianyang and Jicheng, and asks the kings of Qin and Yan to cooperate, and really sends troops to the border of Zhao State to threaten Zhao State!"

Based on the relationship between Bingzhou and Qin and Yan, as long as it makes Zhao uncomfortable, Qin and Yan will definitely help.

"If you want to ask, just ask!" Yan Yan saw her confusion and could probably guess her doubts.

Sure enough, Gongsun Linglong asked in confusion, "Bingzhou was founded with the support of Zhao State. Why is the relationship with Zhao State so much more rigid than that of Qin and Yan?"

Yan Yan smiled and shook his head, "It's not that we don't want to be on good terms with Zhao State, it's that Zhao State always thinks that we are invaders and betrayers, always thinks that we are traitors, and always thinks that we should be vassals of Zhao State, no matter it is Every foreign envoy who comes here remains arrogant. "Under such circumstances, do you think the people of Bingzhou who have been abandoned and abandoned will still have the slightest recognition of Zhao Guo?"

Gongsun Linglong was extremely shocked. This was something she had never thought of. Bingzhou State was already a vassal state like Zhao State in terms of authority. How could Zhao State dare?

But if you think about it carefully, you can understand the mentality of the envoy from Handan.

To put it simply, Handan has never been able to accept the fact of annexing the state, and is even less willing to recognize this reality.

On the contrary, Qin and Yan were not so particular, because the existence of Bingzhou really relieved the pressure on the northern border. Naturally, they fully supported Bingzhou and formed an all-weather strategic alliance with Bingzhou. They were even willing to hand over their armies to Bingzhou. Come and take command.

"In addition, Zhao is the only prince among the princes who is unwilling to set up an embassy in the Third Prince City!" Yan Yan continued.

After Bingzhou became a country, various countries set up embassies in Sanwang City one after another, hoping to learn about Bingzhou's trends as soon as possible and complete exchanges and cooperation with Bingzhou faster.

Only Zhao Guo has always been unwilling to put down his dignity and face, truly establish diplomatic relations with Bingzhou, and treat Bingzhou as a being of the same level.

Gongsun Linglong finally fully understood the relationship between Bingzhou and the princes of the Central Plains. Similarly, she also knew some of the grievances between Bingzhou and Zhao from her father.

Perhaps in the beginning, Bingzhou needed the power of the Zhao State to gain a foothold in the grassland, but because of the man in front of him, Bingzhou underwent drastic changes. After completely getting rid of this situation, he even became one of the heroes on the grassland today.

It's just that Bingzhou has changed, but Zhao has never changed.

Thinking of this, Gongsun Linglong looked at this man with even more admiration, but it was a pity that such a person stood too high, making people intimidated and unable to inspire any charm.

"Your Majesty!" Suddenly, Mo Ya walked in wearing brocade clothes with a straight long knife across his waist. The brocade clothes were mainly made of vermilion, with patterns of fish and dragons embroidered on them, making them look extremely luxurious.

"Is this the attire of the newly established Jinyiwei in Bingzhou?" Gongsun Linglong looked at the Jinyi with some envy.

This time, their arrival brought back many scholars, and also completely organized the various bureaus in Bingzhou. Yan Yan also merged the honor guards and intelligence agencies that were originally responsible for the king's travels, and turned them into the current Bingzhou Jinyiwei.

The authority of the Jinyiwei is also extremely large. They are responsible for monitoring hundreds of officials, stealing intelligence from all parties, and are responsible for the palace guard. Although their status is not as good as that of Jiuqing, they have direct access to the palace, and they are Bingjun's eyes and ears.

In addition, the Jin Yiwei also has the power of imprisonment and can directly arrest officials with a rank of less than 500 shi.

It is also known as, kill first and report later, the royal power is special!

Mo Ya is the first commander of Jin Yiwei, and his status is second only to Jiu Qing.

As for the guards who originally guarded the palace, Dianqing also withdrew from the palace and formed a new army called Yulin Guard in Yunzhong City and Loufan Old City outside the Third Prince's City.

The number of the new army remained at 30,000. They were also directly under the jurisdiction of Bingjun and not under the jurisdiction of the Guowei Mansion. The Yulin Guards were also called Yulin Orphans. They were all selected from the families of the veterans who died in Bingzhou. It can be said that When the Yulin Guards are established, no one in the entire Bingzhou will be able to threaten the security of Third Prince City.
