Chapter 500: Please Cook the Envoy in the Furnace
Didn’t the Emperor of Qin say that he should be arrogant, rude, and domineering?
Am I arrogant, rude and overbearing enough?
Zhang Yi thought to himself.
He felt that the worst outcome today would be the breakdown of the alliance between Qin and Qi.
He was really cooked by the Emperor of Qi.
In short, no matter what, we cannot do anything against the will of the Qin Emperor.
However, his words really shocked the people of Qi.
But they couldn't find any words to refute...
Because in their subconscious, they all feel that Qin has the strength to do so.
Just imagine, even Qi's hundreds of thousands of elite troops were unable to annihilate the Flying Elephant Army of only 30,000 people.
They were even suppressed by the Flying Elephant Army.
But what about the Qin State?
Just one battle will completely wipe out the army that has long been a source of trouble for other nations.
Qi couldn't do it, and Yan couldn't do it now.
Maybe...
The Qin State really had the strength to compete with the Three Kingdoms.
There was silence for a few breaths.
Jifa's face turned ashen.
Zhang Yi's words made him lose face.
After a pause, Jiang Ziya slowly said:
"You said that Qin is not afraid of competing with the three kingdoms, but I'm afraid it will be difficult for you Qin to gain any benefits on the battlefield of Yan."
"By then, the situation will be so different that the Qin State will return empty-handed. If the three states form an anti-Qin alliance, I'm afraid it will only be bad for you."
Zhang Yi thought for a moment and said, "Master Jiang is absolutely right, but Master Jiang, have you ever considered that Feng and Yan have been hostile to Qi for a long time?"
"If the Qin State can't gain any advantage on the battlefield in Yan State, what advantage can you Qi State gain?"
"If the Qin retreats, and the two states of Yan use the overwhelming force to force the Qi to withdraw its troops, what will you do?"
These words made Jifa and others fall into deep thought.
Yes, once the three kingdoms really formed an alliance, for Feng State, Yan State, as an ally, would be stronger than Qi State.
So, why didn't the two countries with better relations unite to deal with Qi?
At that time, Qi State would not be able to shamelessly go to Qin State again, or Qin State would not choose to help Qi State.
Moreover, given the nature of Feng and Yan, the three-nation alliance could only give some gold and silver at most.
Qi is the richest country in the world. Does it lack gold and silver?
What they lack is land and people.
However, if Qi formed an alliance with Qin, it would certainly be able to obtain some of Yan's land.
But the development of Qin could no longer be stopped.
In the future, if Qin faced Qi...
Alternatively, after Qin destroyed Yan, Qi and Feng could form an anti-Qin alliance. In this way, Qi would still have a chance to win.
In summary, Qi may not gain any advantage from the Three Kingdoms Alliance.
But in the Qin-Qi alliance, at least Qi had some protection.
Ji Fa's most troubling problem has been laid out by Zhang Yi.
At this moment, Duke Zhou Dan asked again: "If Qin and Qi form an alliance and destroy Yan, what can you Qin give us Qi?"
Zhang Yi said, "Although the war to destroy Yan was instigated by our Great Qin, in the final analysis, our Great Qin did not invite or offer inducements to other countries to send troops."
"So, my Great Qin will not give you Qi anything, but there is one thing I can guarantee."
"That is, the land of Yan conquered by your State of Qi will not be taken by my Great Qin. Our two countries will each rely on their own abilities."
Although this is fair.
But Jifa always felt that he was at a disadvantage.
But what about Fengguo?
But nothing can be fulfilled.
"Please ask the envoy to leave the palace. We need to discuss this matter with Your Majesty."
After Jiang Ziya spoke, Zhang Yi smiled calmly and said, "You two should discuss this carefully. The Great Qin has plenty of time."
"In short, even if the Great Qin withdraws its troops now, the lands of Yan State that we have captured will be enough to make up for the losses of this expedition."
"But you, the Qi State, have nothing left."
After Zhang Yi left the hall.
Jiang Ziya immediately clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, the Qin envoy's words are reasonable."
"Even if the three kingdoms form an alliance and force Qin to withdraw its troops, Qin will definitely not suffer any loss."
"Furthermore, our two countries, Great Qi and Feng Yan, do not trust each other. How can such an alliance last long?"
"Since it won't last long, it will be difficult to penetrate Qin's territory. We can only continue the confrontation."
"But this does not benefit the State of Qi at all."
"If we form an alliance with Qin, at the very least, our army can capture many cities in Qi."
This game between the three countries started with the peace talks between Feng State and Feng State.
The most important thing is to look at the benefits.
The conditions offered by Feng State were mainly gold, silver and treasures.
These are not important to Qi.
Although Qin does not have the conditions, it would be a good thing if it could conquer some of Qi's territory.
Ji Fa was thinking deeply about state affairs, and completely forgot about the arrogant attitude of Qin envoy Zhang Yi just now.
After a pause, he said, "Do you still think that continuing the alliance with Qin is more appropriate?"
Jiang Ziya nodded and said, "For now, the greatest benefit to our Qi State is an alliance with Qin."
"From now on, if Feng becomes strong, we will ally with Qin to resist Feng; if Qin becomes strong, we will ally with Feng to resist Qin."
"This will form a three-legged tripod."
"If Qi becomes strong, we will take advantage of the situation to sow discord between Qin and Feng and advance westward!"
In a few words, I have given a general idea of the future development trends of various countries.
This is a battle between great powers.
Under the big countries, there are also conflicts among small countries.
