The Six Arts of the Gentleman in the Bright Moon of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 627: The Dog of Lost Home [Subscription*Monthly Ticket Request]

Zhao Jia was a little confused. This was different from what they expected.

In their view, even if they were exiles from Zhao, they represented the orthodoxy of Zhao. Other princes should treat them with courtesy and even support them to continue to compete with Qin.

No one expected that Bingzhou would treat them as traitors.

However, when Zhao Jia put himself in Yan Yan's shoes, he found that Bingzhou's actions were not unreasonable.

If Dai County is in their hands, and they take the initiative to surrender to Bingzhou and hand over Dai County, then Bingzhou will be the beneficiary.

But now Dai County itself is in the hands of Bingzhou, and their arrival is like a cuckoo occupying the magpie's nest.

The order is messed up, and then the identities and subordination are also messed up.

Yan Yan was not in a hurry, but just waited quietly for Zhao Jia's answer.

"Or you can try your luck in Yan State!" Yan Yan spoke again.

You won’t turn back until you hit the wall.

If it were the case, Yan would have supported Zhao Jia to establish himself as the King of Dai of Zhao's government-in-exile.

But now, what can Zhao Jia bring to the State of Yan?

The State of Yan supported Zhao Jia because it knew that there would be a war between Qin and Yan. By supporting Zhao Jia, they would have a shield to help them block the Qin army's attack first.

Interests are always the foundation of national policy.

Zhao Jia bowed, turned around and left the hall in a daze, and also left Hongshang Sai. He did not continue north to Dai County, but turned east to seek help from Yan State.

"Jun Bing is not willing to offend the State of Qin for our sake." Zhao Jia looked at his people and sighed.

"How could this be possible!" The Zhao clan members were all in disbelief.

They all voluntarily put aside their former arrogance and were willing to be vassal states of Bingzhou. Why was Bingzhou unwilling?
"My lord, did you not tell Lord Bing that we are willing to submit to Bingzhou and take Bingzhou as our suzerain state?" the clan elder asked hurriedly.

Zhao Jia turned his head and looked at the elders, but Bingzhou didn't even give him a chance to speak.

"Bingzhou believes that our arrival will only disrupt the peace of Dai County and the northern border of Zhao State!" Zhao Jia replied.

"That originally belonged to our Zhao State. How could we destroy the peace in the north..." the elder said excitedly, but he couldn't finish because he also discovered it.

The order is messed up. Bingzhou first occupied Dai County and the areas north of Hongshangsai.

This place already belonged to Bingzhou, and their arrival indeed became the source of chaos.

"But, this place has belonged to our Zhao State for generations. We can help Bingzhou better control Dai County!" said an elder in a stubborn tone.

Zhao Jia looked at the elder who was speaking with an expressionless face, letting the other party's voice become lower and lower.

Help? Bingzhou needs their help?

Even if Bingzhou cannot control Dai County and the north in a short period of time, it is absolutely unwilling to raise a tiger to cause trouble.

They still haven't adapted to the loss of their country and their homeland, and still think they are still the high and mighty nobles they once were.

They were completely unaware that they were now a group of unstable factors causing trouble to the princes who occupied the land of Zhao.

Zhao Jia knew about it, but these tribesmen didn't know yet, so he could only take them to Yan State to seek help and make these tribesmen face reality.

So the group of people walked for more than ten days and finally arrived at Wusui, the former gateway to Yan and Zhao.

"Stop!" The soldiers guarding the border of Yan State stopped the group. "We are the Lord of Pingyang and Lord of Pingyin of Zhao State, and this is our Prince Jia!" The elders glared at the soldiers who stopped them, showing a very high attitude and looking down on these low-level soldiers.

"Zhao? Is there still Zhao in this world?" The soldiers were shocked by the words of the Zhao elders at first, but after they came to their senses, they burst into ridicule.

The Yan soldiers also looked at the group with mockery.

Then the leading sergeant exchanged glances with his soldiers.

The soldiers immediately understood what the sergeant meant and slowly gathered around him.

After all, Zhao Jia had commanded a large army before. Looking at the Yan soldiers who were gradually surrounding him, he immediately understood what they wanted to do.

However, Zhao Jia did not intend to remind them. Only after being educated by those whom they once looked down upon, would this group of people fully realize their current identities.

"You said you are Pingyang Jun of Zhao State, so what do you have to prove it?" The sergeant looked at Pingyang Jun with a smile.

"With this!" Pingyang Jun took out the jade disk that represented his identity.

The sergeant took the jade disk with a smile and put it directly into his arms.

"Anything else?" the sergeant asked with a smile.

"You...you...how dare you!" Pingyang Jun pointed at the sergeant with a trembling hand.

"Hmph, you old bastard, try pointing at me again!" The sergeant instantly became furious. He grabbed Pingyang Jun's fingers and twisted them hard, pushing Pingyang Jun back into the crowd.

"How dare you do this!" The other members of the Zhao clan were instantly enraged and rushed forward, wanting to fight with the Yan soldiers.

However, the Yan soldiers decisively drew their weapons, injured and maimed these pampered Zhao clan members, and then robbed all their valuable belongings.

Zhao Jia just stood aside and watched, neither taking any action nor saying anything to stop it.

The Yan soldiers also knew his identity, but since he did not resist or speak, no one cared about him, leaving him with the last bit of dignity.

However, the Zhao clan members did not have it so easy. Because they resisted, they were beaten even more severely.

Zhao Jia's eyes were always on Wu Sui's back. If there were no big shots from Yan State approving behind the scenes, how could a sergeant dare to treat them like this, and how could so many soldiers suddenly appear.

The attitude of Yan State has been very clear. They are not allowed to enter the territory of Yan State. Yes, the territory of Yan State.

In the Battle of Zhao and Dai, and later in the Battle of Yan and Zhao, Lian Po and Li Mu had turned Wusui into Zhao's territory. Unfortunately, now Wusui was occupied by Yan and became Yan's territory again.

The State of Yan was even unwilling to allow a big shot to come and meet them, allowing them to take a step into the State of Yan.

"Bah, you call them nobles with this!" The Yan soldiers spat mockingly at the Zhao relatives, then left with their spoils.

Only a group of Zhao clan members, whose clothes had been stripped off, were left standing in the wilderness, blowing in the cold wind.

Among the crowd, only Zhao Jia was able to retain the last bit of dignity for the State of Zhao.

"How dare they do this? Where is Yan Chunjun and Yang Anjun? I want to see Yan Chunjun and teach these soldiers a lesson!" However, the Zhao clan members still failed to face the reality and clamored to teach these Yan soldiers a lesson.

"Have you had enough of the trouble?" Zhao Jia finally spoke coldly and scolded.

"How dare you scold us? When the Yan soldiers bullied us, you, as a prince, were unwilling to even fight back!" A young member of the tribe scolded Zhao Jia.

Upon hearing this, the Yan soldiers who were originally preparing to leave turned back instantly and stood in the distance watching the excitement with interest.

"Look, don't they look like a group of dogs?" the sergeant said to the soldiers with a smile.
