Chapter 133
Yang Chen looked at Concubine Yan's distant figure, and smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth.
Looking at the delicate hairpin in his hand, which still had a faint fragrance, how could Yang Chen not know Concubine Yan's intentions in his heart!
After seeing Concubine Yan's figure disappear, Yang Chen returned to the Hou Mansion in a good mood.
Since this meeting and talk, Yang Chen has heard about the Yin and Yang family's station in Xianyang, and from time to time he goes to the station to meet Concubine Yan!
The relationship between the two heated up rapidly!
It's a pity that it didn't take long for Concubine Yan to return to the headquarters of the Yin and Yang Family, which made Yang Chen a little regretful!
Just when Yang Chen was considering going to the Yin and Yang family on a certain day!
A huge piece of news spread to Xianyang, to the Hou Mansion, and to the palace!
The five kingdoms of Han, Wei, Yan, Chu, and Qi have issued proclamations to the world to form an alliance to resist Qin!
All of a sudden, there was a huge shock in the entire Xianyang City!
In the palace, King Qin was even more angry!
The alliance of the five countries against Qin is definitely not a good thing for Qin!
The strength of the Qin State is strong, but if the alliance of the five countries is firmly established and jointly deal with the suppression and the Qin State, the Qin State will definitely be difficult to deal with!
In the Hou Mansion, Yang Chen was a little surprised when he heard the news!
Five countries form an alliance against Qin!
Unexpectedly, the five countries learned to be smart this time, and even the Qi country joined in!
Yang Chen knew that since the king of Qi Xiang, the state of Qi has been pursuing the strategy of 'doing things with Qin and believing in the princes', which means that it is prudent to communicate with the Qin state, abide by the covenant with the princes, and pay attention to credit!
And what the Qin State has always pursued is to attack from afar, form an alliance with the Qi State, and attack the land of the Three Jin Dynasty!
Therefore, the relationship between Qin and Qi is relatively harmonious, and now that Qi has joined, I am afraid that it has been persuaded by other vassal states.
Not long after Yang Chen just heard the news!
The subordinate hurriedly led a eunuch to the hall of the Hou Mansion!
"I have seen Yang Hou, and the king invited Yang Hou to enter the palace to discuss important matters together!"
The eunuch said respectfully to Yang Chen.
"Well, Ben Hou knows!" Yang Chen bowed slightly, no need to think that Yang Chen also knew that the King of Qin must have come to him to discuss the alliance of the five countries against Qin!
He didn't rush into the palace, but summoned his disciples to the hall!
These doormen are all quite talented people, and they are much more familiar with the situation in various countries than Yang Chen, so Yang Chen informed many doormen of this news.
Let them come up with ideas, Yang Chen can't raise them for nothing!
After discussing for a while, although Yang Chen was not satisfied with the methods and countermeasures, he also had a comprehensive understanding of the situation of the other five countries.
Then he did not linger long, but went to the palace.
When Yang Chen came to a side hall, several important ministers and veterans of the Qin State, such as Lu Buwei and the veteran general Wang Di, were already there!
Everyone is talking to each other!
Seeing Yang Chen coming, they all greeted Yang Chen one after another.
Soon, Yang Chen arrived!
"The king has arrived!"
With the cry of the eunuch, the king of Qin came to the palace accompanied by two palace maids.
"Wait for the ministers to meet the king!" everyone saluted towards King Qin.
"Ahem... You don't have to be polite!" King Qin's face was a little bad, he coughed a few times, and said to everyone.
"King Xie!" said the crowd.
Below, Yang Chen looked at King Qin's somewhat gloomy face, his eyes flickering.
King Qin's illness seems to be getting worse and worse!
"King, pay attention to your body, although the five countries have formed an alliance, it will not affect my Qin country!"
Next to him, Lu Buwei also saw King Qin's expression, and hurriedly said with concern.
"The prime minister has a heart, the lonely king is fine!"
King Qin waved his hand and then looked at everyone,
"I guess all of you Aiqing already know what is going on!"
Everyone nodded, and they all thought they had heard the news.
King Qin bowed slightly, then looked at the people in the hall and continued,
"Ladies and gentlemen, this time the five countries formed an alliance to resist our Qin State, according to the secret report of our Qin State, this is led by Han and Wei, and then the rest of the countries persuaded by Wei Xinlingjun have formed an alliance, not only to contain the continued strength of our Qin State, but also to agree that once the countries have something to do, they must help each other!"
After King Qin finished speaking, he looked around at everyone and said,
"I don't know what you Aiqing think about this matter?"
Yang Chen was slightly surprised when he heard this, he didn't expect that it was the countries persuaded by Xinling Jun of Wei State!
The reputation of Xinlingjun of Wei is very loud among the princes and countries, and everyone knows that Xinlingjun is a benevolent, righteous and virtuous person, and is respected by all countries.
No wonder, the rest of the countries were able to put down the mustard and agree to an alliance!
Listening to King Qin's inquiry, soon an important minister stood up and said,
"Great King, the alliance of the five countries at this time must have been shocked and frightened by my Qin State's attack on the Zhao State, which prompted the countries to form an alliance.
The minister thought that he should immediately send envoys to various countries to persuade the kings of various countries to withdraw from the alliance, and when the advance envoy entered Qi, Qin Qi should make friends, and this time Qi and other countries formed an alliance, it must be instigated by various countries, and the position must be the least firm, and Qi should be forced to withdraw from the alliance first......"
King Qin bowed slightly when he listened, and many ministers also bowed slightly.
The State of Qi had already made friends with the State of Qin, especially when it was heard that the Empress Dowager of the State of Qi was seriously ill and was ruled by the young King Jian of Qi.
As long as the Qin State has the right strategy, it is very likely that this young Qi Wang Jian will agree to withdraw from the alliance!
"Aiqing is right!"
King Qin said and looked at the many ministers again!
"Great King, there are many contradictions among the princes and countries, and the minister suggested that my Qin State could spend a lot of money to buy off the powerful ministers of various countries, and instigate the relationship between the countries, so that their alliance is like a waste paper ......"
Lu Buwei also stood up, his eyes flashing with light.
King Qin bowed slightly when he listened.
"King, this time the alliance of the five countries, whether it can be destroyed or not, but my Qin State cannot be unprepared, and we should send a large army to guard the border to prevent the countries from moving, and it can also deter the countries!"
The veteran Wang Yi also spoke.
Next, many important ministers spoke one after another!
Basically, it's all about lobbying, discord, bribery, deterrence, and so on to break the covenant!
Yang Chen listened to it next to him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart!
These old guys don't have a simple character, full of intrigues!
At that moment, Yang Chen also said some of his own opinions!
After discussing it for a long time, there is basically a consensus!
That is, retreat Qi, make peace with Chu, and deter Han Yanwei!
At that moment, the ministers recommended several candidates to envoy to various countries!
Then only one prestige general was left to command the troops and guard the border, one is to prevent the countries from attacking rashly, and the other is to deter Han Yan and Wei countries!
At present, many ministers subconsciously looked at Yang Chen.
King Qin's eyes also looked at Yang Chen and smiled,
"Yang Hou, the border land of Han Wei Yan is the closest to Handan, and the Lone King intends to send you to lead troops to garrison Handan to deter various countries, and at the same time to prevent a sudden attack by several countries, I don't know what Yang Hou thinks of you?"
"The king has been sent, and the minister naturally has no objection!"
Yang Chen didn't have much opinion when he heard it, Handan was his fiefdom, and he hadn't returned to his fiefdom since he ate Handan!
