This is the second time that King De asked Yan Qi for help.
If 50,000 troops entered the quarry, only a few would come out alive.
Moreover, taking 50,000 troops as prisoners would also damage King De's reputation.
King De has a good reputation.
He couldn't bear this loss.
King De had neither reason nor qualification to be tough on Yan Qi.
First of all, they are in a cooperative relationship, so they can't fall out, right?
Secondly, even if King De turns against him, Yan Qi is not afraid.
Besides being afraid of his wife, who else was Yan Qi afraid of?
King De had no choice but to lower his stance: "Master Yan, please show your noble hand and spare the 50,000 Annan soldiers. I will bear this in mind."
Yan Qi chuckled: "Aren't you making things difficult for me?"
King De pretended to be pitiful: "How can I embarrass Mr. Yan? I just ask Mr. Yan to be accommodating."
Yan Qidao: "According to my own opinion, since King De begged me, I will certainly give him face. However, what reason do I have to let go of the 50,000-strong army that invaded Dahua. They are the executioners of Dahua." "
"King De, please think about it. If I released the 50,000-strong army in vain, how would I explain it to the Dahua court? How would I explain it to the emperor? If the emperor asked me why I released the 50,000-strong Annan army, it would be difficult for me to say yes. Because I have a very good personal relationship with King De? Then the emperor won’t KO me?”
King De smiled coquettishly: "Yes, yes, I understand Lord Yan's mood."
Yan Qi added: "Furthermore, I also have opponents in the court. You have investigated me and you should know that the Eighth Kings, Yang Ke, and Zhang Yongwu are all my opponents. They would like to tear me into pieces. If I am innocent, They handed over 50,000 Annan troops for no reason. Why didn't the Eighth Kings, Yang Ke, and Zhang Yongwu seize this opportunity and just let me die? Do you think, based on these two points, can I let them go?"
When King De heard this, he felt dizzy.
He knew that Yan Qi was looking for excuses and refused to let him go.
But the key point is that Yan Qi's reasons are so good that he has no way to refute them.
However, the fifty thousand Annan army must be rescued.
Otherwise, King De's face will be difficult to live with, and the consequences will be endless.
Thinking of this, King De sighed and bowed to Yan Qichang: "Master Yan, for my sake, I implore you to find a way to save my reputation. Otherwise, the fact that these soldiers became prisoners will become public. Come on, where can I put my old face? By then, let alone being the leader of the country, I may not even be able to keep the title of prince. That guy Lai Gaoyuan will definitely take advantage of my defeat and make trouble for me. "
Yan Qi had already guessed that King De would ask for 50,000 Annan troops.
If these 50,000 Annan troops were allowed to enter the quarry to quarry stone, King De's face would be completely lost.
It would be better if all 50,000 soldiers died in battle.
Yan Qi deliberately hesitated: "Let him go, I can't pass the test, don't let him go, you have no face, what should I do? Let me think about it, let me think about it, what can I do? Hey, Got it."
After a long time, he slapped his thigh in excitement.
King De asked anxiously: "Master Yan, do you have any good ideas?"
Yan Qidao: "Dika and the Nine Kings will fight to the death in a few days. When they are tired and exhausted, no one can do anything about the other. They will definitely come back to their senses, unite their troops and attack me."
King De frowned: "What then?"
Yan Qi's eyes were strange: "I'll give you a chance to let your 50,000 troops fight against Dika and the Nine Kings. You repel them first, then win the battle and return to Shangyuan with a victorious attitude. Isn't that right?" Do you have face? You may even have great military exploits."
"Oh, what a good plan."
Prince De excitedly slapped the table: "Master Yan, this plan is brilliant, brilliant. Oh, it's wrong."
King De reacted immediately: "Master Yan, you are using me as a spearman. Dika and the Nine Kings are clearly coming for you, but you let Annan's army go up and die. Aren't you plotting against me?"
Yan Qi chuckled: "The pattern, a little pattern, okay? At a critical moment, do you care whether you die or not? Do you want to ensure that Annan's army does not die, or do you want to ensure that you have face and your military merit? Guarantee that you can return to Shangyuan, show off your power? Which is more important? Think about it clearly. Of course, if you don’t agree, then continue to let the 50,000 Annan army work hard to collect stones."
"this……"
King De was in a dilemma.
After much thought, he still had to act on Yan Qi's bad idea.
Otherwise, your reputation will be damaged.
This is more important than anything else.
No matter what, the 50,000 Annan army cannot be made prisoners and go to the mountains to collect stones.
I would rather die in battle than be so cowardly.
Once Lai Gaozhi is given the slightest excuse, he will be played to death.
King De gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, Mr. Yan, I will follow your plan."
Yan Qi gave a thumbs up: "King De has a structure and grandeur, and with your structure, you must be the leader of Annan."
King De smiled helplessly.
Hey, it feels really uncomfortable to be manipulated by Yan Qi.
Yan Qi smiled and patted King De on the shoulder: "I guess that Dika and Jiu Wang's people will definitely rush back to Hongcheng in seven days. It will depend on your performance by then. King De, why don't you call me yet?" Wu Dong came in and laid out the military strategy."
King De knew that he was being led by Yan Qi, but he had no choice but to yell helplessly: "Wu Dong, Wu Dong."
Wu Dong rushed in: "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"
King De's face was tense.
Yan Qi blinked: "King De, General Wu Dong, please discuss it well and I will prepare a sumptuous banquet for you."
Yan Qi goes out.
Wu Dong asked: "Your Majesty, what are your plans?"
King De frowned for a long time and said weakly: "Get ready, climb the wall of Hongcheng and fight to the death with Dika and the Nine Kings."
"What?"
Wu Dong was shocked: "My lord, are you confused? Dika and Jiu Wang are the targets of my lord."
King De said: "I understand, but we have to help Yan Qi fight this battle."
Wu Dong yelled: "Why should you help Yan Qi? Is it easy for him to harm us? This person is sinister and cunning..."
"shut up!"
King De blushed and rebuked: "If you can defeat Yan Qi, why do you still make things difficult for me? Isn't it because you defeated Muyang Valley that I am so passive? If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will withdraw you. military position."
Wu Dong was frightened and knelt down in front of King De, daring not to say another word.
King De was also aggrieved, but he had to give in to reality.
for a long time,
King De said faintly: "Get ready. After seven days, we will snipe the Nine Kings and Dika. In this battle, we must ignore casualties and show momentum, otherwise, I will expel you from the court."
"yes!"
Wu Dong could only bite the bullet and agree: "What about the 50,000 troops? Where are they? I don't have any soldiers."
King De said: "Ask Yan Qi for it, Yan Qi will definitely give it to you."
Wu Dong had no choice but to knock out his teeth and swallow it in his heart.
The feeling of bleeding for someone else is so uncomfortable.
