Chapter 691 Yangcheng belongs to [Subscribe*Monthly Ticket]

"..." Yan Chunjun and Wang Jian looked at each other, both of them were confused.

Why are you going to Qi State for no reason?

We were so scared that we withdrew from the battlefield overnight without even daring to look back.

Also, tolls!
"How about we pay the toll now?" Yan Chunjun and Wang Jian said in unison.

Li Ren rolled his eyes. Is it easy for him to find this Qin-Yan border route?
"Then tell me, who does Yangcheng belong to?" Li Ren looked at the two of them with a smile.

He will pay whoever owns Yangcheng.

"..." Wang Jian looked at Yan Chunjun hatefully. If you hadn't suddenly come here, I would have collected the toll.

Yan Chunjun glared back without giving in. You are going to take it back? What the hell are you thinking? I have an army of 100,000 and you only have 30,000. You can't even defend Yangcheng, so shouldn't I be the one to take it back?
"What are you going to Qi for?" Wang Jian still asked his doubts.

"Wei, Chu and Yan attacked Qi. Qi did not build up its military preparations and could not withstand the attacks from the three parties, so they paid us to help them defend the city!" Li Ren did not hide it.

"Emm..." Yan Chunjun was depressed. How much wool do you want to fleece from the State of Qi before you give up?

In this big battle, you have fought three times!

Wang Jian was also a little depressed. Why was it that Bingzhou could get so much benefit from Qi State when they were both trying to solve the crisis of Qi State being besieged, while Qin State came to help like a dog but got nothing?

"Oh, by the way, Your Majesty asked me to ask you by the way, does Qin need our help to destroy Wei?" Li Ren rubbed his index and middle fingers with his right thumb towards Wang Jian.

This scene made Wang Jian and Yan Chunjun stunned.

How much money do you guys want to make from this war?

It’s not enough to plunder all the princes once, you have to plunder them a second time to be satisfied?
But Wang Jian was somewhat tempted.

The State of Wei is now attacking the State of Qi. If Li Ren speeds up his march and reaches Qi before Wei withdraws, and keeps the Wei army in Qi, then Wang Ben will be able to capture Daliang more smoothly.

"I have no money!" Wang Jian took a deep breath. His ideal was beautiful, but his pocket was empty.

This kind of matter has to be reported to Xianyang before a decision can be made.

"Forget it!" Li Ren shook his head. Forget it if he has no money. It is impossible to work for free.

As for rushing to Qi and helping Qi defend its territory, what difference does it make if it is one day earlier or later?

There is no need to confront the State of Wei if you can avoid it.

How much salary is there per month? Is it necessary to fight with the State of Wei?

Anyway, by the time they reach Qi, the Qin army will almost have besieged Daliang. By then, Wei will surely join forces to defend the king, and they will just have to help Qi regain its lost territory.

As for the State of Chu, Yan and Wei have all withdrawn their troops. Can they still stand up?

If they really dare to fight with me, I will let them know what the bravery of Bingzhou is, and they will never forget it for the rest of their lives.

However, it is highly likely that Yan and Wei will withdraw their troops, and Bingzhou's army will arrive in Qi again. Chu will not be so stubborn as to want to fight with Bingzhou.

Therefore, Li Ren actually felt very relaxed about this trip.

He just came to Qi State for a stroll, helped Qi State regain lost territory, and then earned money without even fighting.

"It's so easy to make money like this!" Yan Chunjun and Wang Jian were both envious.

They finally figured out how much Bingzhou could gain from this war.

During the war among the princes, half of their food and fodder was probably sent to Bingzhou.

Bingzhou had done nothing, but because of their existence, the princes were wary of each other and paid money to Bingzhou again and again. Especially the coalition forces, they both wanted Bingzhou to end, but also didn't want Bingzhou to end.

What they wanted was to let Bingzhou contain the Qin State, so that they could free up their hands to destroy Qi and recover their losses.

Who would have thought that Qin was just bluffing and did not go to war with Bingzhou outright.

What was even more unexpected was that Bingzhou had the ability to fight on two fronts, fighting against Qin while still having enough time to help Qi.

"Well, there is one more thing!" Li Ren looked at Wang Jian and Yan Chunjun.

"What's the matter?" Wang Jian and Yan Chunjun frowned.

"The ownership of Yangcheng was decided when I passed by. I saw that there was neither Qin army nor Yan army stationed in Yangcheng, so I took Yangcheng." Li Ren spread his hands, looking embarrassed.

"Now, should we hand over Yangcheng to General Wang or to Yan Chunjun? This makes me feel very embarrassed."

"Yangcheng was originally a city of my Yan State, so it should naturally be returned to my Yan State!" Yan Chunjun said hurriedly.

"He belongs to your Yan State, why is he in my hands? If the Bingzhou army had not suddenly appeared, would I have withdrawn from Yangcheng?" Wang Jian was not to be outdone.

"See, I knew it was like this, so I'm also in a difficult situation!" Li Ren looked at the two of them with a smile and continued to make his signature gesture of asking for money.

“……”Wang Jian and Yan Chunjun were speechless.

Li Ren certainly did not leave many troops in Yangcheng, so it would be easy for them to capture Yangcheng.

But to fight without declaring war would be a provocation to Bingzhou, and they could not bear such responsibility.

No one wants to provoke Bingzhou.

"I'll pay five thousand gold and Yangcheng will be mine!" Yan Chunjun sighed, then looked at Wang Jian provocatively.

He was the prime minister of Yan State and was also very rich, so he could make decisions for Yan State and could afford the money.

Wang Jian was only the commander-in-chief of the Qin army. Although he had control over the army, he did not manage the finances. If he wanted to use money, he had to apply for it from his superiors.

Wang Jian was silent. Li Yao had used up all of Qin's money on shopping in Bingzhou. Now the treasury was almost empty. Although the money was recovered quickly, there was not that much liquidity.

"General Wang, don't you plan to raise the price?" Li Ren looked at Wang Jian.

"I have no money!" Wang Jian had no choice but to suffer this loss in silence.

The most important thing is that the Qin State had no intention of breaking up with the Yan State completely, and Yangcheng was not that important, so it was not worth spending so much money for it.

"What a pity!" Li Ren was a little disappointed. This was an important border town, but it was only exchanged for 5,000 gold.

"What a loss!" Yan Chunjun became even more depressed when he saw that Wang Jian did not raise the price, so he offered a higher price!

"In that case, Lord Yanchun can go to Yangcheng with my order and take over Yangcheng!" Li Ren also quickly wrote a handwritten letter and handed it to Lord Yanchun.

As for not giving the money, Li Ren was not worried that Yan Chunjun would do something small over such a small matter and ruin his character.

Wang Jian became even more depressed. If he had known earlier, he would not have run away, and Yangcheng would still be in his hands.

Now that Yangcheng has returned to the hands of Yan State, he will also withdraw his troops to the rear cities.

"Well, do you have any intelligence about the Allied Forces? I'll pay for it!" Li Ren looked at Yan Chunjun and continued to ask.

As part of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, Yan Chunjun should be aware of the military deployment and strategic intentions of Chu and Wei.

He would not be so foolish as to run to Qi and accidentally run into the armies of Wei and Chu, as that would make Qin and Qi laugh to death.
