"Bang——"

Lian Po kicked the table in front of him away without giving any face to the other people in the tent.

Representatives from various countries all sat there in a timid manner, no one dared to speak, even Xinling Jun was drinking at the top.

"Fifty thousand, fifty thousand soldiers, burned to ashes in one night?! Even fifty thousand guinea pigs wouldn't be slaughtered in one night!"

Lian Po stood up and paced back and forth, his clenched fists showing that he was in a very bad mood.

"Is your brain full of dirt? Drinking alcohol during the march?! Is this how you treat the Qin State? Have you forgotten the 400,000 innocent souls at Changping, and the terror of Qin Wu'an Jun?!"

The tent was filled with Lian Po's roar, and apart from that, there seemed to be nothing else.

Not to mention Lian Po was angry, they were also extremely angry, but Lian Po was so powerful that they dared not say anything. They could only hope that Xinling Jun would say something to dissuade him.

Fifty thousand Yan soldiers were crippled in one night, and the Anyi defenders were burned to ashes!

According to the scouts, they have not yet seen where the Anyi defenders have gone.

The most likely possibility is to counterattack Zhao and force Lian Po to return to defend.

However, there is a possibility that the Anyi defenders will return to defend the city, but there has been no news of it for several days, so it is probably impossible.

It was because of this that they spent so much time in Xihe City. They should have handled it the same way as in Anyi, leaving some people behind while the others went to attack Hangu Pass.

Now, let alone Qi attacking Hangu Pass and attacking Qin together, I am afraid that the coalition forces will disband on the spot and everyone will go back to their own homes.

"Old General, don't be angry. I will give Zhao an explanation for this matter in the future. Right now, the most important thing is to attack Qin."

After much anticipation, Xinling Jun finally spoke, interrupting Lian Po's angry roar.

"I wonder what explanation your Majesty can give?" Lian Po didn't even want to give face to Lord Xinling at this moment, but after all, he was a person who had done Zhao a favor, so he had to suppress his anger and ask,

"If that group of people were to launch a surprise attack, it would be fine. But if they were to launch a counterattack against our State of Zhao, I ask, what explanation can Your Majesty give? What can you explain?"

Just as Lian Po said, the State of Zhao got involved only to gain an advantage, and what Xinling Jun promised at the time was only the loss of soldiers, not the loss of territory.

If the group of guards really attacked Zhao State, with the current remaining troops of Zhao State, they could probably only save the cities around Handan, and the others would probably fall.

Such a loss is not something that the current Lord Xinling can afford.

"After attacking Qin, I personally led the army to attack Yan and captured five cities from Yan and Zhao. Could this explanation help the old general suppress his anger?"

Everyone looked at Xinling Jun in horror, even Lian Po was a little surprised.

No matter how stupid Ji Cunxi of Yan State was, he was still an ally to some extent, and they were all allies brought in by Lord Xinling.

What Xinling Jun said now is basically throwing his own credibility on the ground. In the future, no matter what reasons or things he has, other countries will have to consider it before taking appropriate action. They will no longer be able to summon him with just a piece of paper and a big promise like they do now.

"Your Majesty, why do you have to do this? The Yan envoy was stupid. Why should Your Majesty humiliate him like this?"

Lian Po had a good personal relationship with Xinling Jun, so he put aside his previous anger and spoke out to persuade him.

As for the other envoys, most of them had received favors from Lord Xinling before, so they just acted like ostriches, focusing on eating and drinking, as if Lord Xinling had never spoken.

"Old General, please don't worry about it. This explanation is enough and meets your wishes."

Xinling Jun still did not make any other moves, just eating and drinking, as if he didn't know what he just said.

Lian Po stared at Xinling Jun for a long time. Seeing that he seemed to have made up his mind, he stopped trying to dissuade him and said:

"That's certainly enough. However, the battlefield is unpredictable. I propose that we march tomorrow, pass through Xihe City, and march straight to Hangu Pass. We must capture Xianyang within ten days. I'm a little tired, so I'll take my leave first."

After saying this, Lian Po walked out.

Although he had a good personal relationship with Xinling Jun and particularly admired Xinling Jun's integrity, a personal relationship was ultimately just a personal relationship.

He had already done his utmost to dissuade Xinling Jun. Since he would not listen, he could only fight for his interests at the national level.

No matter how powerful the guards are, since Wuxiang Jun Le Cheng is still staying in Handan, it seems that they cannot capture Handan.

In this case, as long as the Qin capital Xianyang was captured, the Zhao city captured by Wang Jian and his men would have to be returned. This was equivalent to Zhao paying the price of some civilians in exchange for five cities of Yan, and this did not include the benefits gained from the subsequent attack on Qin.

From this perspective, no matter what, it was worth it, and Lian Po had no reason to refuse. As for what Xinling Jun would lose, that was not Lian Po's concern.

After all, I've tried to persuade him, and since he doesn't listen, he'll just have to accept it.

The atmosphere in the tent did not ease after Lian Po's departure, but became even more depressing.

Xinling Jun's words forced the envoys to reconsider how to gain benefits without being stabbed in the back.

Even though they knew that the future disasters that Yan State would suffer were due to its own fault, it did not make them let down their guard.

After all, in this era of the collapse of rituals and music, only those who are vigilant are worthy of survival, otherwise there will probably be no trace left.

This is the sadness of this era and also its greatest characteristic.

Xinling Jun was still eating and drinking alone. Even though there were many people in the tent, he still felt lonely.
