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

Chapter 678: Thank You [Subscribe*Monthly Tickets]

"I'm afraid that my brother has already informed the general as instructed!" Yan Chunjun looked up at Fan Yuqi.

Fan Yuqi smiled bitterly and handed a secret royal edict to Yan Chunjun without hiding anything.

"I will never forget your kindness, Your Majesty, but the king has also been very kind to me..." Fan Yuqi bowed his body and did not dare to look at Yan Chunjun.

He would persuade Yan Chunjun to withdraw his troops, not only because he was really afraid of the Qin army that might appear at any time, but also because he did not want Yan Chunjun to break up with King Xi of Yan.

Both of them were very kind to him, and he was caught in the middle, which was really a difficult situation.

Therefore, we can only try our best to persuade Yan Chunjun to withdraw his troops.

"Then withdraw your troops!" Yan Chunjun also knew Fan Yuqi's difficulties and hardships, and had no intention of blaming him. The fact that he showed him the royal edict showed that Fan Yuqi was truly grateful.

"Your Majesty, General, the foreign minister of Bingzhou requests to see you." Just as the two of them had arranged the withdrawal of troops, Gongsun Linglong arrived.

"Prime Minister Gongsun, something is not right in Bingzhou." Facing Gongsun Linglong, Yan Chunjun took the initiative to speak.

"So, Linglong, come here in person to explain to Lord Yanchun!" Gongsun Linglong turned a blind eye to the anger of Lord Yanchun, Fan Yuqi and other Yan generals.

"Prime Minister Gongsun is an eloquent man, no less eloquent than the Great Emperor Xuanwu. I dare not believe him at all!" Yan Chunjun shook his head.

The sophistry of the famous scholars is also well-known throughout the world. Otherwise, why do all the princes in the world like to use people from the famous scholars as foreign ministers?

"Linglong's trip is actually to save the State of Yan!" Gongsun Linglong continued regardless of Yan Chunjun's attitude.

"Oh?" Yan Chunjun and Fan Yuqi were both surprised. Although they knew that Bingzhou's words could not be believed, who wouldn't want to hear how the other party would argue?

Maybe this is what being cheap is.

Even though I know I'm going to be cheated by the other party, I still wait to be cheated with pleasure.

It’s no different from a curled mouth!
"The elite Qin army did not show up on the Qin-Bing battlefield as expected!" Gongsun Linglong directly threw out a trump card.

Yan Chunjun and Fan Yuqi looked at each other. This information was also what they had just analyzed.

"Go on!" Yan Chunjun signaled Gongsun Linglong to continue without even raising his eyes.

"So where did they go?" Gongsun Linglong looked at Fan Yuqi.

Fan Yuqi simply closed his eyes and pretended that he saw nothing.

"Wei State is already a piece of meat on Qin's lips. They can eat it whenever they want. But if someone delivers the goods to Qin's door in person at this moment, do you think, Yan Chun, Qin will accept it first?" Gongsun Linglong asked with a smile.

Yan Chunjun did not react, but other officers of Yan State were panicked.

They are the ones who deliver goods to your door.

The army is outside. If the Qin army suddenly appears and attacks them, or even annihilates and encircles them, then what will the Yan State use to resist the invasion of Qin in the future?

This is also the Qin State's usual strategy, destroying the enemy's manpower and then nibbling away at it step by step!
Why were the princes no longer able to contend against the Qin State? Wasn’t it because after years of wars, the Qin State had already wiped out all of the princes’ elite troops!
If the Qin army's target was them, then once they suffered heavy losses in Qi, Yan would follow in the footsteps of Han and Zhao.

"So, Prime Minister Gongsun knows the movements of the Qin army?" Yan Chunjun didn't believe everything. At least, he wanted to know the real goal of the Qin army from Bingzhou.

"Your Majesty, you have to resort to this measure out of consideration for your friendship with Lord Yanchun and the State of Yan, so that Lord Yanchun and the other generals will not be branded as cowards in battle!" Gongsun Linglong did not answer, she did not know where the Qin army was now.

But the Qin army must have left Hangu Pass and arrived in the Central Plains. As for the target, it was either the army of Yan or Wei. As for Chu, it should not be the target. After all, Chu's strategic depth was too long, and it was difficult for Qin to intercept the Chu army. "So, I have to thank Emperor Xuanwu and Bingzhou for giving me an excuse to withdraw!" Yan Chunjun was so angry that he laughed.

You come to hit me, and I still have to thank you. There is no such good thing in the world.

However, according to Bingzhou's sophistry, they had to admit that this sophistry was valid.

If Bingzhou had not sent troops, they would have had no reason to withdraw from the alliance and retreat to Jicheng.

As for where the Qin army might appear, no one knows, but if they do not withdraw, they are very likely to become Qin's target.

"The fact is, it is possible that Qin could appear beside the Yan army, right?" Gongsun Linglong said with a smile.

Yan Chunjun and Fan Yuqi could not refute that the Qin army had no trace and it was possible for them to appear anywhere, and there was no doubt that they were the most likely targets.

"I'm curious, how much benefit did you get from Qi this time!" Yan Chunjun suddenly reacted.

When Yan State withdraws its troops, the biggest beneficiary is Qi State!

Will Bingzhou give up this opportunity to make money?
impossible!
The chain reaction triggered by their withdrawal was that the Qin State would give up attacking them and turn around to destroy the Wei State.

In this way, the crisis of Qi State was immediately resolved!

With only the State of Chu left, it would be very difficult to destroy the State of Qi.

Even the State of Chu could no longer continue to attack the State of Qi and could only try every means to provide assistance to the State of Wei!

"The State of Chu will not have an easy time either!" Gongsun Linglong said with a smile.

"Oh?" Yan Chunjun was surprised. Could it be that Bingzhou had a backup plan?

"Bingzhou not only agreed to help Qi break the siege, but will also send General Li Ren to help Qi resist the attack of Chu and help Qi form a new army!" Gongsun Linglong said seriously.

"You guys..." Yan Chunjun felt a little scared.

Qi State has the people and money, and with the help of Bingzhou's generals to form a new army, this sleeping lion may really wake up.

By that time, even without the help of Qin, the outcome of the three of them attacking Qi would probably not be very good.

"Aren't you afraid of bringing disaster to the world?" Yan Chunjun sighed.

"Qi gave too much!" Gongsun Linglong sighed.

"..." Yan Chunjun was speechless. Just because you have money, you can be arrogant, right?
"What on earth do you want to do!" Yan Chunjun finally gave up. Withdrawal was inevitable. The money given to Bingzhou would definitely not be taken back. They even had to say thank you to Bingzhou!
"Someone pays us to do the work. It's only natural for us to help others get rid of their troubles after receiving their money!" Gongsun Linglong pretended to be stupid.

"Yan, Wei, and Chu allied and asked me to contain Qin in Bingzhou. Did we do it?"

Gongsun Linglong asked.

Yan Chunjun and Fan Yuqi had no way to refute. The three alliances asked Bingzhou to contain Qin, and Bingzhou did it, and even lured out Qin's 100,000 elite troops. Otherwise, how dare they launch a war against Qi without Qin making any move?

The Qin army moved, but did not rush to the Qin-Bing battlefield. Instead, they took the opportunity to cross the sky and sea and run to the heartland of the Central Plains. Can they blame Bingzhou for this?
Even if they announced the matter to the world and demanded an explanation from Bingzhou, Bingzhou could simply say that it had been deceived by Qin.
