Chapter 672 How could you do this! [Subscribe*Vote for the monthly ticket]

Yan Chunjun originally did not come, but because the news sent back by Li Yuan made Yan Chunjun feel that it was not realistic, he rushed thousands of miles and took the Mohist Suzaku to the Beiye Royal City.

King Xi of Yan might have believed that Bingzhou would agree to the alliance, but after discussion between Yan Chunjun and Fan Yuqi, they did not think that Bingzhou would agree to form an alliance with them at all.

What's more, in today's world, the recognized evaluation of the strength of the princes is that Bingzhou and Qin are tied for first place, Chu is second, Yan is third, Wei is fourth, and Qi is fifth.

The reason why Wei was ranked ahead of Qi was because Wei Ju's navy could enter and exit Qi's hinterland at will. Otherwise, Wei would still be behind Qi.

Therefore, even if Bingzhou agreed to the coalition alliance, it would be impossible for the King of Chu to serve as the head of the agreement.

Therefore, Yan Chunjun seriously suspected that the princes were deceived by Yan Yan.

"It's been many years since we last met. Mr. Yan Chun is still as charming as ever!" Yan Yan greeted with a smile.

He also had to be cautious with Yan Chunjun, otherwise, based on Yan Chunjun's understanding of him and Bingzhou, it would be easy for him to see the clues.

"I haven't seen you for many years, and you are even better than before." Yan Chunjun also sighed.

He could be said to be a witness who watched Yan Yan grow step by step from a mere county to become another emperor after Emperor Xin.

It has only been a few years, and even Yan Chunjun feels that it is a little unrealistic, but the facts are in front of him, and he has personally experienced the hardships.

Although the time was short, there were too many dangers and major events.

The biggest beneficiary of Bingzhou's rise was actually their Yan State, which was even surpassed by Qin State.

After exchanging compliments and greetings, the two fell into silence again.

"Yan State plans to attack Qi State?" Finally, Yan Yan spoke to break the silence.

"The pressure from Qin is too great!" Yan Chunjun sighed.

There are many directions for Yan State to expand its territory. It can attack Donghu to the north, but that is Bingzhou's private land and it will not be taken for the time being. Therefore, Yan State has not thought about having conflicts with Bingzhou over this matter. Otherwise, once Bingzhou and Yan State border on a large area and without Donghu as a buffer zone, the consequences will be immeasurable.

To the east, the areas of Gojoseon of Jizi can be said to be barren, and there would be no benefit in conquering them.

If we go west, we will have to go to war directly with the State of Qin and tear up the alliance with Qin, which is not a good thing either.

If Yan State really did this, then Chu State and Wei State would have to call Yan State their foster father.

The State of Yan would not be so stupid as to join forces with Wei and Chu to attack the State of Qi. However, it would only attack Qi and could still maintain a superficial relationship with the State of Qin.

Therefore, the State of Yan was left alone in a corner, and the only direction it could choose to expand to was the State of Qi.

"The conflict between Qi and Yan is quite serious!" Yan Yan looked at Yan Chunjun with amusement.

The State of Qi did not maintain its military preparations, but that does not mean that it did not have an army. Although the number was not large, there were still some.

And these only troops were all used to defend against the State of Yan, which shows how big the conflict between Yan and Qi was.

"Qi has not experienced war for forty years. How many people are still good at fighting? Besides, our Yan has learned a lesson and will not commit the same crime again.

With General Fan Yuqi here, we can still tear the State of Qi apart and eat its flesh."

Yan Chunjun said with a smile.

The two attacks on Zhao caused heavy losses to the State of Yan. Therefore, after getting a famous general like Fan Yuqi, King Xi of Yan also entrusted him with important tasks. He would no longer allow the royal family and powerful people of Yan to act recklessly and firmly supported Fan Yuqi.

"I have no doubt that Yan can tear open Qi's defense line and eat its meat, but..." Yan Yan paused deliberately. "But what?" Yan Chunjun also wanted to know Yan Yan's opinion on this battle.

When it comes to strategic vision, no one in the world today can match Yan.

"Qi is a sleeping lion, so no matter which princes it is, they will not force Qi into a desperate situation and deliberately let it go." Yan Yan said solemnly.

In today's world, in terms of military strength, Bing and Qin are naturally number one, but in terms of national strength and wealth, Qi is still above Qin and Bing.

Once Yan, Chu and Wei push Qi into a corner and cannot kill it with one blow, that would be a lot of fun.

If Qi, which has both money and people, is not wiped out in one fell swoop and its king and ministers focus on improving military preparations, Yan, Chu and Wei will all be in big trouble, and Qin will also be affected.

The State of Qi, which did not prepare its military, was not worth mentioning in the eyes of the State of Qin. However, the State of Qi, which was awakened by the three families, had to be treated with caution by the State of Qin, and its degree of danger was even ranked higher than that of other princes.

"We have naturally taken this into consideration. So the three families divided Qi with the goal of destroying Qi in one fell swoop!" Yan Chunjun smiled and showed Yan Yan the strategic intention of the three families to divide Qi without any concealment.

To put it simply, the area north of the Yellow River belonged to Yan, the central part belonged to Wei, and the southern part belonged to Chu. The river was used as the boundary to divide Qi into three parts.

"I have no doubt that the three families can work together to divide up Qi, but... is Chu really trustworthy?" Yan Yan looked at Yan Chunjun with a smile.

In times of crisis, you can trust the State of Chu, but in times of great victory, you have to be careful of the State of Chu.

This is a bloody lesson learned from repeated failures in coalition alliances.

Would Chu really be willing to give up Qi's most prosperous central and northern parts to Yan and Wei?
Especially since Wei was so weak now, how could it own the richest central part of Qi among the three states?
Yan Chunjun was also startled after hearing Yan Yan's words, and finally remembered Chu's ability to stir up trouble.

If Chu deliberately lets the three states off the table so that they can't defeat Qi with one blow, then the consequences...

Moreover, the possibility of this happening is really not low.

"In addition, it is impossible for Qin to sit idly by and watch the three families divide Qi. You have to know that Qi and Qin are allies." Yan Yan continued.

Yan Chunjun's eyes became even more solemn.

Qin State, if Qin State really decides to stop the three families from destroying Qi, then Bingzhou can at best only tie down part of Qin State's army.

Can Bingzhou still stop Qin from sending troops from Wuguan and from Zhao and Han to help Qi?
"We will join forces with Wei and send a large army to stop Qin from sending troops to help Qi!" Yan Chunjun continued.

Naturally, they also considered sending troops from Qin to help Qi, and made corresponding preparations.

"Yes, you can stop Qin, but your strategy of dividing Qi has a loophole. Most of the troops responsible for stopping the Qin army are from Yan and Wei. So how many troops do you have left to attack Qi?" Yan Yan continued to sow discord among the three countries.

Yan Chunjun looked at the map and finally realized that once the war broke out, the main forces of the Yan and Wei armies would be restrained by the Qin army, and instead the Chu state would be able to advance straight into the state and attack the Qi state.

In this case, would the State of Chu really abide by the alliance and divide the State of Qi according to the prior distribution?

"And, to be honest with you, Lord Yanchun, Qi has already sent envoys to request Bingzhou to send troops to contain Yan!" Yan Yan continued.

"How could you do this!" Yan Chunjun was dumbfounded.

You have accepted benefits from our three families, why do you also want to accept benefits from Qi?

"It's not that I don't want to refuse, it's just that Qi has offered too much!" Yan Yan spread his hands helplessly, and then continued, "Besides, the three of you only asked me to send troops to contain Qin, which does not conflict with Bingzhou's efforts to contain Yan!"
