Chapter 777: Work without Leaving Any Trace, Many Scapegoats! You Won't Commit Suicide? I'll Help You!

Qi Pao's bad attitude made Yan Dan frown.

After all, I am the prince of Yan, the future king of Yan!

Even if I know that you are dissatisfied with me, how dare you treat me so coldly!

However, thinking that the war is important, Yan Dan finally suppressed his dissatisfaction and bowed his hands: "Your Highness, Prince Dan, listen to the king's order!"

Qi Pao looked at the silk and said in a deep voice: "Qin and Yan were originally allies. In order to fulfill the Qin-Yan alliance, I specially sent food and grass to the Qin East Road Army, and sent 300,000 troops to help Qin attack Zhao."

"Yes!"

"Prince Dan secretly recruited assassins because of his own hatred, and recommended the assassins as envoys, and assassinated the King of Qin in the name of envoys!"

"After the assassination, Prince Dan turned his spearhead without orders and attacked Attack Qin, and break the alliance!"

"I am very angry when I heard it!"

"It's a pity that the matter has been decided. For the survival of Great Yan, I have to form an alliance with Zhao!"

Yan Dan endured again and again, and interrupted Qi Pao's words: "Qi Shangqing is wrong!"

"Recruiting assassins to assassinate the King of Qin was indeed done by me."

"I am willing to bear all the responsibilities!"

"But abandoning the alliance with Qin and attacking Qin was decided before the war, not just my intention!"

Some pots can be taken by Yan Dan.

For example, in the assassination of Ying Zheng, Yan Dan can let everyone in the world know that the mastermind behind this matter is Yan Dan, because this is a personal grudge, and it can even be said to be a happy act of revenge!

But some pots can't be taken by Yan Dan.

For example, Yan State broke the alliance and attacked Qin, Yan Dan can't take the blame.

This is clearly a plan that the court had made before the war, and it also involves the alliance of the country. Yan Dan cannot let the world think that Yan Dan is a treacherous villain! Otherwise, the personality that Yan Dan has cultivated for a lifetime will be declared to collapse!

Facing Yan Dan's rebuttal, Qi Pao just asked lightly: "What does the prince mean to say, this is the king's order?"

"Where is the king's order?"

Yan Dan was stunned: "The king's order... This is the plan that my father and Gu Yan talked about after the military meeting before the war. Why is there a king's order!"

Qi Pao said coldly: "Since there is no king's order as evidence, how dare the prince slander the king!"

You said that it was the king's intention to attack Qin?

Show the evidence!

You can't say shit without evidence!

Yan Dan was furious: "Do you think I am such a liar?!"

Yan Huan also said in a deep voice: "Report to Qi Shangqing, our army has not joined forces with the Qin army since the expedition. I was suspicious at that time, so I reported to the king, the king..."

Although Yan Huan did not think highly of Yan Dan, he had to stand up and say something fair.

Judging from the Yan army's style of action at the beginning of this war and Yan Wangxi's response attitude, Yan Dan was likely to be telling the truth.

However, Qi Pao rudely interrupted Yan Huan and shouted coldly: "I am reading the king's order now!"

"Deputy General Yan Huan, what crime should you be punished for interrupting the king's order?!"

Yan Huan's voice stagnated, and he had to bow and say: "I know my crime!"

Glancing at Yan Huan and Yan Dan coldly, Qi Pao continued to recite aloud: "Hearing that Handan had fallen, I was anxious and immediately raised an army of 200,000 to help my allies."

"Fortunately, Prince Jia of Zhao went north early, established the sacrifice of Dai State, inherited Zhao's altar, and continued the alliance between Yan and Zhao."

"Yes!"

"Prince Dan once again acted without orders, lobbied Dai officials, encroached on Dai's territory, removed Dai's city walls, and broke the alliance again!"

"So that the Qin Dynasty regarded our Great Yan as an enemy! People all over the world think that our Great Yan is untrustworthy!"

Yan Dan clenched his fists tightly in his sleeves.

Yan Dan admitted that he and King Xi of Yan both had the idea of ​​breaking the alliance and attacking Qin. Even if King Xi of Yan did not attack Qin, Yan Dan would choose to attack Qin.

But the strategy of breaking the alliance and attacking Zhao was the order sent directly by King Xi of Yan through eunuchs! It was completely King Xi of Yan's idea!

At that time, King Xi of Yan never said that a Dai Kingdom had emerged in the world and continued the alliance between Yan and Zhao!

However, how could Yan Dan, who had no evidence in hand, refute it?

At this moment, Yan Dan deeply realized how terrible it was to leave no trace at work!

The noisy voice of Qi Pao continued, and the tone was even higher:

"Prince Dan feels deeply ashamed of Great Yan, shameless, treacherous, disobeying the king's order, and committing a serious crime."

"Therefore, I will commit suicide in the camp to die and apologize for my crime!"

"I heard it, and I am so sad and painful! I regret it and hate it!"

"In order to fulfill Prince Dan's last wish, I am willing to give Prince Dan's head to Qin and Prince Dan's body to Dai, and atone for Prince Dan's crime of breaking the alliance!"

Yan Dan: ???

Unconsciously taking two steps back, Yan Dan asked in a cold voice: "What does Qi Shangqing mean?"

"Is what Qi Shangqing passed on really the king's order?!"

Qi Pao reversed the king's order, showing the seal of King Yan in front of everyone, and said in a deep voice: "As the Shangqing of Great Yan, I will not falsely pass on the king's order!"

"I don't mean anything either. The king's order is the king's order!"

Staring at the seal on the silk, Yan Dan could not see any flaws, but the doubt and anger in Yan Dan's heart did not diminish at all: "Qi Pao! How dare you say that you have never falsely passed on the king's order?!"

"I am not dead! I will not commit suicide!"

"How can the king issue a king's order according to my suicide!"

Qi Pao said in a calm voice: "The prince will not commit suicide? Then the prince can learn."

"If the prince really can't learn, this official can also lend a helping hand to the prince."

Yan Dan was stunned: "What?"

Can I help with something like suicide?

But then Yan Dan realized the crux of the problem.

Qi Pao doesn't care whether Yan Dan commits suicide, but only cares whether Yan Dan dies or not!

After reacting, Yan Dan became furious, drew his sword out of its sheath, pointed the tip of the sword directly at Qi Bao, and shouted angrily: "You want to stab Guhu?!"

"The bold assassin dared to forge the king's order and enter the lonely army to commit suicide!"

"Soldiers! Take this officer down!"

Yan Dan gave the order, and Yan Badger and the others remained motionless.

Instead, the ten ministers and hundreds of guards brought by Qi Pao came forward!

"Prince, I'm offended!"

"Let go! Release the sword!"

Several ministers worked together and quickly handed over Yan Dan's sword. The other ministers took the opportunity to knock Yan Dan down from behind and pinned Yan Dan to the ground.

Yan Dan's face turned red with anger, and he shouted angrily: "Gu Nai is the Crown Prince of Yan! How dare you humiliate Gu like this!"

"Pass the solitary order!"

"Our soldiers come to our aid quickly! Kill these rebellious ministers!"

If the more than a thousand disciples sent by Yan Dan to intercept Ying Chengyu were still there, they would definitely stand up and stop Qi Bao at this moment, and even risk their lives to escort Yan Dan out of danger.

But it's a pity that all the disciples who were supported by Yan Dan with huge sums of money have already died under the Ying Cheng Dragon Halberd!

Among the Yan army generals, only Gongsun Gao hesitated to step forward.

However, Gongsun Gao was grabbed by Yan Badger's arm and said softly: "The prince is indeed the commander-in-chief of our army."

"However, the prince and our general have committed suicide."

"Now it is just the cry of a dead soul that has been lingering in the world and is unwilling to leave. We, the strangers, should not be able to hear it."

Yan Dan looked at Yan Badger in disbelief: "Vice General Yan!"

"Gu is still alive! Gu is still alive! Gu is the commander-in-chief of this army! All officers and men must obey General Gu's orders!"

Yan Badger did not look at Yan Dan, but looked at Gongsun, the senior general, and asked again: "You all are people who often see the king's order. Is there anything wrong with riding on the king's order held by you?"

"Are you willing to disobey the king's order for the sake of Prince Dan?"

The swallow badger problem is actually quite funny.

Because this is the Warring States Period, not the Song Dynasty!

Most generals have strong control over and close relationships with the soldiers under their command.

Whether it is famous generals such as Lian Po and Le Yi, or Zheng Anping, an almost unknown general who only commands tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, as long as they decide to surrender to the enemy, most of their generals will follow them to surrender to the enemy!

But this ridiculous question stumped all the Yan army captains including Gongsun Gao.

Are they really willing to disobey King Yan's orders for a general who can abandon 120,000 robes at will?

Damn it!

If they had not been able to disobey the general's orders, they would have no longer wanted to obey Yan Dan's orders!

Seeing all the generals avoid looking at each other, Yan Dan was greatly shocked and screamed sadly: "Two or three sons!"

"I ask myself how I treat you all!"

"How can you not help me!"

The fact that he was in danger but no one came to help him was a bigger blow to Yan Dan than the fact that King Yan wanted Yan Dan to die!

Because this shows that Yan Dan’s lifelong strategy of nurturing scholars and building connections with generous gifts is a joke!

His false reputation as the world's greatest hero cannot help him in the slightest!

Qi Bao looked down at Yan Dan and said calmly: "After hearing that the prince committed suicide and apologized, all the prince's heirs were proud of the prince, and together they committed suicide and went to Huangquan to reunite with the prince."

"After hearing that the prince committed suicide, all the prince's disciples felt deeply that they had betrayed the prince's courtesy, and they all died to apologize."

"The Crown Princess was unbearably sad and fell into coma several times. She has returned to Wu Ending City and is temporarily staying at her father's house to recuperate."

"There is no need to worry about the prince."

Qi Bao calmly told the cruelest truth.

In the Prince's Mansion, except for the Crown Princess who escaped with her life due to the strength of her father's family, the whole family was destroyed!

Yan Dan's sons, young and old, will all die!

Yan Dan stared angrily and shouted, "How can you blame me, gentlemen?"

"Why did my father want to harm them!!!"

The child can die, but it doesn't matter if the princess dies.

But if all the guests in Gu Mansion are killed, how should the heroes of the world look at Gu!

Qi Bao shook his head speechlessly, took the initiative to step forward and put Yan Dan's sword back into Yan Dan's hand, then grabbed Yan Dan's hand and put the sword blade close to Yan Dan's neck, and whispered: "The king finally gave the prince some dignity. , Prince Yun committed suicide."

"Please show some dignity to the prince, so that I don't want to help the prince to show his dignity!"

Yan Dan shouted angrily: "I am the crown prince of Dayan!"

"I have been a pledge for Dayan! I have shed blood for Dayan! I want to see my father!"

I haven't been able to become King Yan yet! Gu can't make Brother Zheng look up to Gu!

If Gu died like this, even if he died under so many infamy, how should the people of the world look at Gu! How should future generations view Gu!

I can’t die alone!

At least I can't die in disgrace!

Seeing this, Qi Pao used his right hand and said softly: "I'm offended."

Feeling the coldness in his throat, Yan Dan struggled hard and roared: "No!"

"I want to see my father!"

Yan Dan struggled to open his neck, Qi Bao could only press the blade and choose another place to drop the sword.

"Now that Lord Qin Changan's troops are exhausted, our army can take this opportunity to defeat Qin!"

"If my father doesn't want to fight anymore, I can go to the King of Qin and Lord Chang'an of Qin. I don't need Gu's head in exchange for Qin's withdrawal!"

"stop!"

"No!!!"

With Yan Dan's last desperate cry, a corpse with dozens of sword wounds on its neck stopped struggling.

A good head that once held a high position fell into the dust, and died with his eyes wide open!
