Chapter 360 Attack Again
"Lin Luhou?"
Outside Qianye Villa, Yan Dan and a group of people were about to leave, when Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang came to see them off. However, Yan Dan seemed to have something on his mind and was absent-minded along the way.
"Your Highness, is it for the affairs of the Yan Kingdom?"
The net has been withdrawn, the siege of Qianye Villa has been solved, and the Mohist disciples from all walks of life are also planning to turn around. Qin Wuyang saw that Yan Dan seemed to have something on his mind and thought it was because of the affairs of Yan State, so he asked.
The relationship between Yan and Zhao eventually went up and down, and Yan Dan originally wanted to use this to ease the conflicts between the Jianghu forces in Yan and Zhao. In fact, he achieved his goal.
But at this time, Yan Dan's mind was not on the situation between the two countries, but on one person.
"I heard that King Yan has recently begun to think of an alliance with Qin to attack Zhao together."
Jing Ke, who was standing by, smiled softly. He was a man in the world, but he also disagreed with this.
Yan Dan was affected by this, smiled bitterly, and shook his head.
"Among the three kingdoms of Qin, Zhao and Yan, Qin is getting stronger and Yan is the weakest. My father did not want to ally with Zhao to defend Qin, but instead allied with Qin to attack Zhao. This is really not a wise move."
Yan Dan said it politely. Unlike Qin, Zhao was surrounded by enemies on all sides. Before the Battle of Changping, Zhao and Qin were equally powerful. But after this, the power of Zhao State has weakened. However, the King of Yan was still greedy for his immediate interests. Every time he formed an alliance with Qin, he wanted to seize the land of Zhao.
However, for Zhao State, attacking Qin was disadvantageous, but it was more than enough to deal with the Yan army. Every time Qin and Yan allied to attack Zhao, how much land Zhao lost would be supplemented by Yan.
In the end, Qin took advantage, while Yan often suffered the most losses.
In both the government and the public of Yan State, insightful people have seen the disadvantages of joining Qin. Once the State of Zhao is destroyed, can the State of Yan survive alone?
However, King Xi of Yan was headstrong and self-willed. Under Qin's continuous offensive, he was repeatedly tempted and allied with Qin to attack Zhao.
Yan Dan sighed.
"Qin's strategy of making friends from far away and attacking close by has been tried and tested since Fan Sui. But my father just doesn't understand that no matter how precious gold, silver and beauty are, how can they be as important as the people of the land?"
Yan Dan couldn't change the status quo, so he could only sigh.
"It's just not because of this, but because of the Commander-in-Chief."
"Commander?"
Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang looked at Yan Dan with some confusion.
"What happened to the Commander-in-Chief?"
Yan Dan hesitated, but finally expressed his guess.
There was a gentle breeze outside the house. Concubine Yan and Moon God each took a seat with their backs facing each other and said nothing.
After waiting for a long time, Concubine Yan finally couldn't help it anymore and slapped the table.
"How long has this been going on!"
A few days ago, Concubine Yan and Moon God had received the news that the leader of the Mo family had repelled Luo Sheng. In the past few days, Concubine Yan and Moon God were waiting for Zhao Shuang to come to them.
However, a few days passed, and the two of them still couldn't wait for Zhao Shuang's figure.
"Sister, I can't keep my temper anymore!"
Luna smiled softly and waved her sleeves. Concubine Yan took a look and saw that her sister had a habit of pulling up her sleeves when she was anxious. And now, how wrinkled Luna's sleeves are!
"You're not much better!"
There were footsteps outside the house, and just as Concubine Yan and Moon God's faces were filled with anticipation, Ehuang appeared in front of them.
What's going on here?
Ehuang was originally planning to report an urgent message, but as soon as he stepped into the room and looked at the faces of the two people in the room, why did he feel so weird?
"Two protectors, this disciple has received urgent information."
"What's the matter?"
"After Luo Wang's defeat, he is gathering men secretly. He will take advantage of the departure of the reinforcements from Qianye Villa to launch another attack."
"What did you say?"
Concubine Yan stood up, feeling a little anxious in her heart.
"Then where is the leader of the Mo family?"
Ehuang was stunned and felt that Concubine Yan's question was a bit strange. But, immediately afterwards, he felt relieved. After all, the Yin-Yang family has enmity with the Moh family, and the leader of the Moh family is a sworn enemy.
The Lord Protector is worried about his whereabouts and is very interested in cleaning up.
"He should still be in Qianye Villa. Our informants did not send any news of his departure."
Compared with Yan Fei, Yueshen appears more stable.
"The net is defeated, how many people can be gathered at this time?"
"The people in the trap are not yet known, but our informant in Handan sent news that the powerful minister Guo Kai secretly sent eight hundred dead men to assist in the trap."
"I understand, you go down first!"
Reinforcements from all walks of life at Qianye Villa are leaving one after another. At this time, there are many people in the Villa who are seriously injured and recuperating. How much combat effectiveness can they have?
"Strange, why is he still staying at Qianye Villa?"
Moon God stood up, with a look of sadness on his face just like Concubine Yan.
"Lin Luhou...Zhao Shuang?"
On the long road, Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang looked at Yan Dan, unable to believe that the words just came from his mouth.
"His Royal Highness, is it possible that the real identity of the commander is Zhao Shuang, the former general of Zhao State?"
Qin Wuyang said, seeming to think of something. Reminiscent of Li Ji's anomaly, if the commander-in-chief is Zhao Shuang, the general of Zhao State, then some of the questions in his mind can be explained.
Why would Li Ji care about the commander-in-chief who few people in the Mo family knew his true identity? The relationship seemed vaguely ambiguous. There are even rumors that Li Ji knows the true identity of the commander. If the commander-in-chief is Zhao Shuang, the general of Zhao State, then the two of them have known each other for a long time, which can be explained.
"How did His Royal Highness find out?"
Unlike Qin Wuyang, Jing Ke didn't really believe it, and even had some doubts.
Yan Dan smiled, seeming a little ashamed.
"I don't have any evidence, but I was looking at the commander under the tree that day, and listening to Commander Zhang Sheng's words, I suddenly had this guess in my mind. Maybe I'm overthinking it!"
Qin Wuyang reacted and looked at Jing Ke.
"Isn't it rumored that Li Ji knows the true identity of the commander?"
"you mean?"
There was light in Qin Wuyang's eyes. As an old friend for many years, Jing Ke seemed to understand what he meant.
"But even if he is Zhao Shuang, so what?"
"If he is really Zhao Shuang, then it can be explained that he cannot show his true face to others." Yan Dan looked solemn, "Moreover, Lin Luhou once attacked Qin with General Pang Nuan and had a grudge against Qin. Even though He is in the land of Qin and Chu, but if he can stand on the side of the six countries and fight against Qin, then the world will be prosperous."
Qin Wuyang looked at Yan Dan like this and felt admiration in his heart, but he was also a little worried about Yan Dan's status in the Mo family.
"The commander-in-chief has a close relationship with Lord Hanyang of the Qin State, and he has always advocated that the Mohist family should not participate in the disputes between countries, which is probably not easy. Strangely enough, both of them are called Zhao Shuang, what a coincidence."
Listening to Qin Wuyang's words, Yan Dan felt something strange in her heart, but she couldn't control it. Finally, Yan Dan smiled.
"That's all, I've been on this trip for a long time, and I must return to the Yan Kingdom as soon as possible. I hope you two can get something out of the commander-in-chief's matter."
"We will never let down His Highness the Crown Prince."
