Back to reality, it took Zhang Beichen a long time to adapt.
A few months later.
It has been almost three years since Qin's reform.
After three years of reforms, the Qin State liberated a large number of productive forces, almost got rid of famine, and its military strength also greatly increased.
At this time, the surrounding Rongdi tribe no longer dared to invade.
The people of Yingyin have already begun to make plans for Yiqu Kingdom.
But in order to conquer Yiqu State, the surrounding countries such as Wei, Zhao, South Korea, and Yan must not interfere. This is absolutely impossible.
Ying Yin tentatively sent a message to Wei Yao: "King Wei, the Yiqu Kingdom seems to be uneasy recently? I heard that King Yiqu's tribute to Wei this year is half less than in previous years."
Wei Yao saw her thoughts at a glance and said, "You want to attack Yiqu? Yiqu is now a vassal state of my Wei State!"
"Haha, Yiqu Kingdom was a vassal state of Qin State before. This King Yiqu is very ambitious, be careful to bite you back one day!" Ying Yin said provocatively.
"Yin Ren's wife, if you want to fight Yiqu, just say so, don't beat around the bush like this!" Wei Yao found that teasing Ying Yin Ren was also a good way to have fun.
Ying Yin: "How many times have I told you not to call me wife!"
She knew that Wei Yao learned these words from Zhang Beichen.
Wei Yao: "Okay, Yin Ren's wife."
Ying Yin had a dark look on her face. She was too lazy to continue arguing with Wei Yao about this issue, so she simply said: "Sooner or later, the few people in Yiqu Country will be wiped out. What do you think?"
Wei Yao said: "It's very simple. I will share half of Yiqu's territory. Also, let Zhang Beichen come to Wei for one year."
"Your request is too much. I can't possibly agree to it!" Yin Yin said.
Wei Yao: "It seems that this is not up to you. As long as I don't agree, how can Qin defeat Yiqu? Besides, can you suppress the kings of Han, Zhao and Yan?"
Ying Yin knew very well that if she joined forces with Wei Yao to carve up Yiqu Country, the other countries would not say anything, because Yiqu Country had already been a vassal state of Qin and Wei, and was on the side.
But if Qin wants to fight on its own, several queens may be tempted to come forward to take a piece of the pie, and the situation may get out of control.
Yin Yin: "It's okay to split it in half, but it's impossible to do with Zhang Beichen!"
Can she still know Wei Yao? If Zhang Beichen had lived in Wei for a year, Wei Yao would have had a second child!
Wei Yao: "Then there's nothing to talk about?"
Ying Yin: "No need to discuss."
This discussion ended without any resolution. Both sides knew very well that this matter would have to be carried out sooner or later. They just had to wait for the two countries to become stronger.
…
"Look, King Qin is too stingy. I just want you to come over, but she still doesn't agree." Wei Yao sent a screenshot of the chat with Ying Yin to Zhang Beichen.
Zhang Beichen: "..."
He explained: "Qin is busy with affairs, and I can't leave."
Wei Yao: "Is it really impossible to leave?"
Zhang Beichen: "Yes."
Wei Yao: "What about this? (Picture: swimsuit photo.)"
In the photo, Wei Yao is standing in her private bath wearing a fashionable swimsuit designed by herself, with her plump figure clearly visible.
Zhang Beichen: "Ahem, Your Majesty, am I that kind of person?"
Wei Yao: "I have designed several sets. You mentioned JK, white silk, uniforms, etc. Do you want to see them?"….
Zhang Beichen: "Hurry up!"
Wei Yao: "Hehe, I won't give it!"
Zhang Beichen: "..."
…
Yan State.
After the simulation ended, Yan Qingwu carried out some reforms in Yan State, but the results were not obvious yet.
The biggest problem is Lord Naan.
After the simulation, Yan Qingwu already knew how to deal with An Guojun, and the assassin she sent successfully lurked into An Guojun's house.
It's just that the assassin's ability is obviously not as good as Zhang Beichen's.
Didn't succeed.
"Could it be that I, like Wei Yao, Han Mengshu, and Zhao Yun, want to invite Zhang Beichen over?" As soon as this idea appeared, it took root in Yan Qingwu's mind.
Her relationship with King Qin was not good before, and now she was asked to seek help from Ying Yin. She felt that she could not lose face.
Yan Qingwu tossed and turned for several days, and finally opened the chat box and looked for Ying Yin.
Yan Qingwu: "King Qin, I think there is something that I must discuss with you."
Ying Yin came up and asked, "You want to rent Zhang Beichen, right?"
Yan Qingwu was surprised: "How do you know?"
Ying Yinren: "Haha, I have long thought about when you would say this. I didn't expect it, Yan Qingwu, didn't you look down on Zhang Beichen before?"
Yan Qingwu was a little embarrassed and said, "It was all a misunderstanding."
Ying Yin: "Okay, I know. Tell me your conditions."
Yan Qingwu thought for a while and said: "I need Zhang Beichen to settle some domestic matters. After the matter is completed, I am willing to return the three cities of Qin."
In the past, several countries had invaded and occupied a lot of Qin's territory, especially Wei, which occupied the most, and Yan, which occupied relatively little.
Ying Yin is really helpless now. Zhang Beichen is so popular that every queen wants to abduct him.
I don't have to agree, but the conditions they put forward are too tempting.
"One month, I only give you one month!" Yin Yin said, "After one month, Zhang Beichen must return to Qin."
Yan Qingwu immediately said: "Okay. I keep my promise!"
…
The people of Yingyin called Zhang Beichen and explained their intention to send him as an envoy to the State of Yan.
"Zhang Beichen, you are worth three cities in one month. Why don't I rent you out? In a few years, the world will belong to me and we will never have to fight again!" Ying Yin was half teasing and half jealous. said.
"If your Majesty and the other queens agree, I am willing to die for your great cause!" Zhang Beichen said.
"You have a beautiful idea!" Ying Yin snorted, "Anyway, I will return home in a month. I will send someone to take over the city and you!"
"I will definitely fulfill my mission!" Zhang Beichen said.
…
Before Zhang Beichen left for the trip, he contacted Yan Qingwu and asked her what she thought.
Yan Qingwu said: "I have been preparing the assassins in An Guojun's Mansion for a long time. But I have never been able to find the real An Guojun. He is even more cunning than in the simulation. Even his substitute doesn't know where he is. I The king needs you to lure the snake out of its hole!"
Zhang Beichen thought for a moment and said, "Mr. An Guo is now recruiting troops and wants to establish himself as king. What he lacks most now is foreign aid and recognition!"….
"I only need to contact him as the Prime Minister of Qin. He will naturally show up for such a major matter. King Yan will then order someone to take action!"
Yan Qingwu: "Okay, let's do it!"
…
Before Zhang Beichen left for the trip, he deliberately let out the news that the King of Qin wanted to send him to the Yan Kingdom and hated the city being invaded by the Yan Kingdom.
At the same time, Qin also sent troops to exert pressure on the border.
Against this background, Zhang Beichen was famous all over the world when he went on a mission.
The Queen of the Seven Kingdoms has gone through many simulations and naturally knows what is going on. But no one said anything.
This has become a tacit understanding between them. When they deal with domestic issues individually, no other queen will intervene. This also prevents others from affecting you when you are doing things.
…
At the mansion of An Guojun.
Lord An Guo naturally also learned the news.
"The King of Qin wants to ask the King of Yan for the city?" An Guojun thought, there were also guests from the Qin State in his house.
He had also heard about the situation in the Qin State. He heard that the King of Qin appointed Zhang Beichen to carry out reforms, and the State of Qin quickly became stronger. Now the surrounding countries no longer dare to invade, and the King of Qin has begun to want to get back the lost land.
"Now my strength is compared to King Yan
There is still a lot of difference. The old minister who took office as King of Yan is still loyal to Yan Qingwu. Zhao Guo's attitude towards me is also unclear. It would not be a bad idea if I could get help from Qin State. "
For An Guojun, he didn't care about the previous cities of Qin. As long as Qin could support him, why not return them to Qin?
He will get more!
So Lord An Guo immediately called in his retainers and asked for countermeasures.
"Everyone, I heard that Zhang Beichen, the Prime Minister of Qin State, is going to the State of Yan to ask for the former city of Qin State from the King of Yan. I want to gain the support of the State of Qin and discuss with Zhang Beichen. Who has any idea?"
Someone among the guests immediately said: "Lord, I have a way!"
"Say!" An Guojun looked at him.
The retainer said: "We can pretend to be King Yan's envoys to meet Qin Prime Minister Zhang Beichen and bring him to An Di. Next, we only need to state our interests to him and promise a huge profit, and he will naturally agree to form an alliance with the lord."
An Guojun thought about it and said, "It's feasible. I just need to have people in the court try to prevent King Yan from returning the city of Qin. Then King Qin will definitely favor me!"
"Okay, let's do this!"
…
Zhang Beichen and the envoy met the envoys from Yan State at the border of Yan State and took them to Jicheng.
Because of several simulations and "wilderness survival", Zhang Beichen was very familiar with the map of Yan State.
He knew that these were not the envoys of King Yan. He pretended not to know and followed the people who greeted them to Andi.
At this time, the Qin envoys who were traveling with them realized something was wrong: "This does not seem to be Jicheng!"
Someone laughed and said: "Of course this is not Jicheng, but Ancheng. This is the fiefdom of An Guojun!"
"What?" The envoys were shocked. They had also heard about the disagreement between An Guojun and Yan Wang.
"Prime Minister, let's leave quickly. King Yan and An Guojun are not on good terms. If she learns that we have come to An to ask for the city this time, she may be in vain!" The Qin envoys did not know this and hurriedly asked Zhang Beichen said. ….
"Prime Minister Qin, don't be anxious!" A voice came, and the envoy who greeted them said: "Mr. An Guo has already told us that he admires Prime Minister Qin very much and has always wanted to meet Prime Minister Qin. This strategy was the idea of our servants. Still, Please don’t worry, Prime Minister Qin.”
"Since Prime Minister Qin is here, let's go and meet him at his residence. Don't worry, we will never let out the news that the Qin envoy has come to Andi!"
In fact, An Guojun planned to release the news as soon as Zhang Beichen left, so that King Yan would not be happy with Zhang Beichen.
But he didn't expect that Zhang Beichen had already "colluded" with King Yan and was preparing to plot against him.
Zhang Beichen looked at the envoy in front of him. This envoy had a deep aura and a calm manner. He was probably An Guojun himself.
But he was not sure, so he said: "You are right, you are already here, so let's meet him. I have also heard of An Guojun's reputation, so I just want to pay him a visit."
"Great, I'll take you to my house right now!" An Guojun's envoy took them to An Guojun's house.
Zhang Beichen had just arrived at the door when he saw a man in rich clothes running out barefoot.
He said ecstatically: "Is Prime Minister Qin here? I have been looking forward to it with great anticipation!"
Another servant came over with shoes and said, "Master, you haven't put on your shoes yet!"
An Guojun smiled awkwardly and said, "Oh, I was so happy when I heard the news that Prime Minister Qin came, and I lost my etiquette for a moment. Please don't take it personally, Prime Minister Qin."
"I have long heard that An Guojun is a gentleman of the Yan State. When I saw him today, it turned out to be true!" Zhang Beichen made a false promise to him.
He knew very well that the guy in front of him must be a fake.
"Prime Minister Qin, come in quickly. I'm going to host a banquet for you today. Go get ready!" An Guojun took Zhang Beichen's arm, looking familiar.
Zhang Beichen stayed at An Guojun's house for a few days. They talked day and night. An Guojun was extremely enthusiastic and happy.
At this time, Zhang Beichen had basically determined that the real Lord An was the envoy who greeted him before. Because every
He was present at every important occasion!
This day, after drinking.
Zhang Beichen said deliberately: "I have been harassing you in the house for several days. I have a mission, so I can't stay any longer. Tomorrow, I will say goodbye and go to Jicheng. I can't thank you enough for your warm hospitality these days. Tomorrow If Lord An Guo has the opportunity to go to King Qin, Zhang will definitely treat him with courtesy!"
When An Guojun saw him saying this, he suddenly sighed and said, "I also want to go to Qin, but...hey!"
"What's bothering you?" Zhang Beichen asked deliberately.
An Guojun hesitated for a moment, then told the situation: "Brother Zhang, you should also know something about me. I don't get along with the current King Yan. King Yan is a thorn in my side and a thorn in my flesh. He never wants to get rid of me!"
"I'm afraid I won't have the chance to go to Qin again and will die here instead!"
Zhang Beichen frowned and said, "Is King Yan so cruel?"
An Guojun began to complain, and Zhang Beichen also said sympathetically: "You are dedicated to the country of Yan, and King Yan still treats you like this. It is really chilling!"
An Guojun took the opportunity and said, "Brother Zhang, you and I have met each other, are you willing to save me?"
Zhang Beichen asked: "How to save me?"
An Guojun took the opportunity and said: "Brother Zhang, please persuade the King of Qin to help me. If I attack the city, I will not only return all the cities of Qin, but also offer three more cities as a thank you gift!"
When Zhang Beichen heard this, he said: "If this is really the case, I think King Qin would also be happy to see it happen!"
"Then it's settled!" An Guojun was overjoyed. The two wrote bad checks to each other and got drunk.
After drinking, Zhang Beichen returned to the room to rest drunkenly.
As soon as he closed the door, there was a flash of knife and someone tried to kill him.
"Ah!" Zhang Beichen screamed in the room, and then shouted: "There is an assassin, come, help me!"
"There is an assassin!" The guards outside heard this and rushed over.
"What? Zhang Beichen was assassinated?" An Guojun was immediately anxious when he heard the news, "It must be someone from King Yan. He is afraid that I will form an alliance with Qin and assassinate Zhang Beichen. No, Zhang Beichen must be protected!"
