Yan Qi had a pleasant chat with the special envoys of the seventeen countries in the Western Regions.
Friendly, affable, and without any airs of authority.
The countries in the Western Regions are particularly proud of it.
Yan Qi hosted a banquet for the special envoys of the seventeen countries. He had a heart-to-heart talk with everyone, changing cups and cups, and had a great time.
Half an hour later, Guan Ming and Yuan Hong replaced Yan Qi to entertain the special envoys from various countries.
Yan Qi returned to the study to rest.
Shi Zhongxin came in.
"Master Yan."
Shi Zhongxin reported in a deep voice: "I have captured all the spies in the Western Region Alliance Army. From top to bottom, a total of 236 people were identified and captured."
Yan Qi nodded: "I can rest assured that you are doing your job."
Shi Zhongxin said: "I didn't expect that Master Yan could repeat his old tricks and burn the Persian army of 200,000 in the Snow Valley again, but An Jiao still led the army. It's really incredible."
Yan Qi laughed loudly: "It's just a small trick."
Shi Zhongxin said: "How can this be a trivial skill? We won a complete victory without losing any blood. How many people are there? If it were me, I would have to defend the city honestly and start an offensive and defensive tug-of-war with An Jiao! In this way, we still don't know How many years will it take to fight? Compared with Master Yan, there is a huge difference between me and Master Yan."
Yan Qidao: "I'm just using tricks. From now on, we will have to rely on Governor Shi to develop Moon Castle and stop the invading enemies from Persia."
Shi Zhongxin spoke righteously: "It is our responsibility and our blessing to share the country's worries. I should do my best to promote my great glory."
"good!"
Yan Qi nodded vigorously.
Shi Zhongxin hesitated for a moment and stopped talking.
Yan Qidao: "Just say whatever you want to ask, why hesitate."
Shi Zhongxin hesitated again and again and asked: "What I don't understand is why Master Yan let An Tiao go?"
Yan Qi laughed loudly: "I guess you will ask this question."
Shi Zhongxin said: "I really don't understand. I know Master Yan has a big plan, but I really can't figure it out. It's really uncomfortable to hold it in my heart."
Yan Qidao: "It's understandable that An Tiao and I are close friends and let him go for selfish reasons."
Shi Zhongxin was stunned for a while and shook his head: "Sir, you are joking! Others will believe it, but I definitely don't believe it."
"Hahaha."
Yan Qi joked and blinked: "If it were Governor Shi, would you like to kill An Tiao?"
? "
Shi Zhongxin said: "Of course we must kill An Tiao! He is just a wolf! If we don't kill him, he will be in trouble sooner or later."
Yan Qi nodded and asked Shi Zhongxin: "An Tiao is a wolf, so who is the sheep?"
Shi Zhongxin said: "The Western Regions are like sheep."
Yan Qiruo said thoughtfully: "If the wolf dies, then what use is there for the hunter?"
As soon as these words came out, Shi Zhongxin was enlightened and suddenly realized: "I understand, Mr. Yan, I am really confused. If the wolf dies, what use is the hunter? If An Tiao dies, how can we still be in Moon Castle?" Use troops? Lord Yan is far-sighted, I admire him, I admire him."
Yan Qidao: "But let me tell you, this is just one of them, the second is the most important."
Shi Zhongxin was startled: "Is there another one? And it's more important? Master Yan, teach me quickly and let me learn."
Yan Qi smiled slyly: "According to the information from Zhao Yulin, the Persian leader Seleucus gave Anjo an order, asking him to capture Yuedingbao within one month. If he fails to do so, he will bear all the consequences. responsibility."
"Of course this is the treacherous plot of Seleucus, the ruler of Persia. He just wants Anjo to take the blame for him, the ruler of the country."
"Now, Anjou's 200,000-strong army has been burned alive. It can be said that the casualties are tragic. Guess, when he returns to the Persian capital, can Seleucus spare him? Can Dilefa let him go? The people are mouthing. His spittle also drowned him."
"The most questionable thing is that 200,000 soldiers were burned alive, but Anjo survived. How did he survive? Why did he survive? Isn't it because I let him go for the sake of my close friend? Passed him? Even the death of the two hundred thousand Persian army was a conspiracy set by me and An Tiao? "
"All doubts and culpability point towards Anjo, unless Anjo apologizes with death, proves his innocence with his own death, and takes responsibility for the loss of his country with his own death. In addition to this result, Anjo has another Can I choose a path?"
Shi Zhongxin suddenly realized: "So, although Mr. Yan did not kill An Tiao, An Tiao is still dead? Well, if this is the case, An Tiao might as well commit suicide on the battlefield and gain a good reputation as a brave and fearless man."
Yan Qi's eyes were clear: "Didn't you expect An Jiao? He tried to commit suicide, but he couldn't do it after all."
Shi Zhongxin asked: "Why? Why can't he take action? Is he afraid of death? He is the bravest of the three armies and has been through life and death. He should not be afraid of death."
Yan Qi nodded: "That's natural. He is definitely not afraid of death. However, he cannot bear to see Persia decline and even lead to chaos."
Shi Zhongxin asked: "How do you say this?"
Yan Qidao: "Once An Tiao dies, his power will collapse. Dilefa will do whatever it takes to execute the important ministers of An Tiao's lineage."
"Because without the restraint of Andiao, Dilefa, a villain and a fool, would dominate the family and dominate the government and the public. In addition, the leader of the country, Seleucus, was a foolish and unprincipled person. Under Dilefa's flattery, Persia It will definitely decline.”
"Furthermore, An Tiao has made a good calculation. We have seized Yuetinbao and will definitely wait for the opportunity. Once Persia declines, the Western Region will send troops to conquer Persia and avenge bloodshed."
"So, Anjo was not reluctant to die, but was afraid that after his death, Persia would be in danger of annihilation."
Shi Zhongxin thought for a long time and suddenly realized: "I understand, Anjo is indeed a wise man, a hero who cares about the country and the people. However, he will not survive at all. Seleucus needs him to take the blame, and Dilefa treats him He was so filled with hatred that he was defeated again and even committed the crime of collaborating with the enemy. How could he not die under so much pressure?"
Yan Qi's eyes were sly: "If he wants to survive, or even want to change the situation where the villains are in power in Persia, he can only return to the capital of Persia, King Qin, in the name of Qing Junzi."
"King Qin?"
Shi Zhongxin was shocked: "This will make things big."
Yan Qidao: "Antiao is a road in Huashan. Unless this is the case, he will not be able to save his life, let alone revive Persia and eradicate Dilefa."
"Anjo's lineage is extremely powerful, and Anjo supports the young prince. Although the young prince is not the prince, he is very popular, smart and virtuous."
"Although the eldest prince is a prince and has Dilefa's support, he is fatuous and incompetent, and his status as prince is not secure."
"If An Tiao supports the young prince as the prince, calls on the army in the name of the young prince, and rushes into the capital in the name of Qing Jun, King Qin, he will have a chance to eradicate Dilefa and others. This is the only way for An Tiao to purge the blood of Persia. , he had to do this.”
"In fact, Anjo didn't commit suicide because he wanted to clear the emperor's side and support the young prince to ascend to power."
Shi Zhong believed in Hades and thought for a long time: "According to speculation, Persia will soon fall into civil war, and Persia will be in chaos."
Yan Qi's eyes shone: "The more chaotic it is, the better it is for us, isn't it?"
