If the conflict between Qi and Yan is stirred up again, making Yan believe that if they dare to attack Qin, Qi will seize the territory that once belonged to Qi, then Yan will certainly not dare to send troops, and the five-state alliance will naturally collapse!

Ten days later, the bamboo slips appeared in the hands of Hou Sheng, the prime minister of Qi.

Lu Li has now promised Hou Sheng that if Qin unifies the world in the future, King Ying Zheng of Qin will enfeoff Hou Sheng as a marquis.

In the bamboo slips, Lu Li instructed Hou Sheng to persuade the King of Qi that if the State of Yan were to send troops to attack Qin, the country would be vulnerable, and the King of Qi could then take the opportunity to attack Yan and seize its cities.

As expected, when Hou Sheng told the King of Qi this, the King immediately nodded repeatedly.

"I will immediately send troops there. If the Yan Kingdom dares to make a move, we will seize the city!"

When the State of Yan learned that the State of Qi was continuously sending troops to their borders, they immediately sensed something was wrong, and the King of Yan cursed the State of Qi for being shameless!

Not only did they refuse to participate in the coalition, but they also tried to stab us in the back?

At this point, the State of Yan also refused to join the alliance, leaving only the four states of Han, Wei, Zhao, and Chu.

With the two strongest of the six states withdrawing, the remaining three—Han, Wei, and Chu—naturally ceased their activities as well. Han, in particular, immediately sent envoys to Qin to establish friendly relations upon learning of this news.

"Foolish! This Prince Qi is so foolish!" Yun Qingshu cursed angrily!

If only Qi did not participate, the five-state coalition could still put up a fight. As long as they could delay Qin's eastward expansion, that would be enough.

However, Qi wanted to stab them in the back, which made Yan dare not come either. The four states were no match for Qin. If they failed, it would give Qin a reason to expand eastward in the future!
