Lian Po looked at Lord Xinling, who was treated as a distinguished guest, and sighed that his reputation was so high that it was probably no less than that of the princes of other countries.
These people were attracted by a letter from Xinling Jun. It seemed that he had no intention of doing anything, but was attracted by the reputation of Prince Wu Ji of Wei.
Lian Po didn't know what was written in the letter, but the conditions that could attract this group of people must be extremely tempting.
Lian Po couldn't understand what else Xinling Jun could promise them except 100,000 Wei soldiers.
Qin city?
These hungry wolves who can't see any meat will not help Lord Xinling to attack Qin just for such a big cake!
As for any greater good, that is even more impossible.
As for justice, whoever has the bigger fist will have justice, and it is not just something they say.
"Your Majesty, please speak frankly. We are all here to assist you under the orders of our respective kings!"
The speaker was an envoy from the State of Yan, named Ji Cunxi. When he came to Lian Po's tent to ask for peace, he was not in this drunken state. At that time, he was submissive and timid, like a dog.
The other envoys also echoed this, which made Lian Po feel disgusted.
He simply ignored the group of literati who were performing and started drinking alone.
Xinling Jun looked at Ji Cunxi with a smile, raised his glass in a polite gesture, and said, "I am grateful to all the kings for giving me the honor of sending you to follow me to defeat the tyrannical Qin. Please drink a toast."
After saying that, he drank the wine in the glass.
The envoys below initially refused, but then they drank up the wine.
"As for the assistance from other countries, it's actually just a matter of the number of soldiers."
When the envoys heard this second issue of concern, they all pricked up their ears and listened carefully.
"I still say the same thing. You'll get what you put in. If you send as many troops as I do, everything within Hangu Pass will be yours.
If it is double what I give, I will give you another 50,000 taels of gold as military pay. What do you think?"
The envoys from various countries originally came for this reason, although it was a bit unreasonable to point it out directly.
But none of them were the type to care about things, so they just thought it was a drunken slip of the tongue and laughed it off.
As for how many troops and supplies they would send, they just treated it as a joke.
What's the point of having more troops now? They'll be at their peak after the battle, and only then will they be useful!
As for whether to fight or not to enter Hangu Pass?
Are you kidding? The Qin army's elite soldiers are all fighting outside, and the coalition forces are no less than 400,000. How can they not capture a mere Hangu Pass?
The tent became lively again, with envoys from various countries toasting each other and appearing to be particularly close and friendly.
Only Lian Po was thinking about how to attack Hangu Pass.
After all, they don’t have the feng shui map of the Qin Dynasty!
