Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Page 897

But the problem is that due to the confidentiality of Lu Buwei's identity, in the eyes of the ministers of Zhao State, it has become Xihe County for Beidi County, which is a bit of a loss.

After all, Zhao Guo doesn't seem to have any motivation to talk about peace with Qin Guo now, so some people will definitely not understand the news when it is released.

As a monarch, it is definitely impossible for Zhao Dan to explain to the ministers one by one. Who has ever seen a company boss explain his company's strategy to his subordinates in detail?It's all about directly issuing orders for you to do it.

Under such circumstances, Zhao Sheng and Yu Xin, the leaders of the Gongzu faction and the commoner faction, and also the two leaders in Zhao Guo's political arena, are the best explanations.

Zhao Sheng responded with a sigh, and said to Zhao Dan: "Your Majesty, in order to save our soldiers from the Zhao Kingdom, did not hesitate to bear the stigma. I really admire you."

After hearing Zhao Sheng's praise, Zhao Dan couldn't help but burst out laughing.

In fact, Zhao Dan is really not so selfless, the main reason is that he looks at the problem from a different angle.

As a person of this era, in the eyes of Zhao Sheng and Yu Xin, only Zhao Guoren is "one of our own", like other Qin, Qi, and Chu countries, they are all "foreigners".

As for foreigners, it doesn't matter if you die more or less.

But Zhao Dan is different as a traveler. In Zhao Dan’s view, no matter whether it is Zhao State or Qin State, these countries are all Huaxia countries in the final analysis, and the population of all the seven heroes of the Warring States Period are all Chinese people. , is "our own people".

For Zhao Sheng and Yu Xin, Zhao Guo is now engaged in a war of conquest.

As far as Zhao Dan is concerned, the current state of Zhao is fighting a unification war.

Conquest and unification are obviously not a concept at all.

One is a foreign war and the other is a civil war.

So Zhao Dan was willing to make some concessions for the sake of this unification. After all, the people who were beaten and killed were all Chinese people, so it must be possible to save as many deaths as possible.

It would be a pity to rely on these guys to expand abroad and conquer those real alien races in the future. They all died in the civil war.

However, the premise of Zhao Dan's decision is of course that Zhao Guo is now strong enough to make this kind of forbearance. If it was the time of the Changping Battle seven years ago, then Zhao Dan must hope that as many people in Qin State will die. .

Now that Zhao Dan has made a decision, the meeting is basically coming to an end, and it is getting late, so Zhao Sheng and Yu Xin will leave first.

As for Lu Buwei, Zhao Dan kept him. This surprised Zhao Sheng and Yu Xin, and they inevitably had a new understanding of Lu Buwei's position in Zhao Dan's heart.

So only Zhao Dan and Lu Buwei were left in the hall.

Zhao Dan asked someone to bring hangover soup, and smiled at Lu Buwei: "Wu Chengjun seldom returns to Handan these years, but I miss you a lot."

Lu Buwei cupped his hands towards Zhao Dan, and said: "I am terrified. It has been more than eight years since I took the order, but I still haven't been able to complete the task the king gave me. It's really"

Zhao Dan laughed, and interrupted Lu Buwei's words: "Mr. Wu Cheng doesn't need to be humble. Over the years, you have provided a lot of information for the widow, especially the last time the throne of Qin State was changed, and there were two attacks on Xianyang. It is very big, and the widow will always keep it in mind."

When Lu Buwei heard this, his heart immediately settled down a lot.

To be honest, although Lu Buwei has been working hard for Zhao Dan's promise over the years, Lu Buwei is actually quite worried sometimes. What should I do to give myself the position of Xiangbang?

After all, the promise back then was just a simple verbal promise, and even if Zhao Dan was really unwilling to fulfill this promise, Lu Buwei would have nothing to do.

As if seeing Lu Buwei's worries, Zhao Dan smiled slightly, and said to Lu Buwei: "Don't worry, Mr. Wu Cheng, what the widow said will never be changed, and the promise made back then is still valid. As long as Wu Chengjun can help the widow wipe out Qin State, the position of Zhao State Xiangbang belongs to Wu Chengjun."

No one in this world understands the horror of Qin State better than Zhao Dan. Although the current Qin State seems very weak, Zhao Dan still dare not take such a country lightly.

Even though he had already been mentally prepared, Lu Buwei was still very excited after hearing these words, and he immediately knelt down towards Zhao Dan, and made an out-and-out gift: "Mr. Lu Buwei, Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

Zhao Dan helped Lu Buwei up with a smile, and said emphatically, "Mr. Wu Cheng, don't forget that you and the widow are in-laws."

The next morning, Lu Buwei and Zhao Dan visited the Royal Garden of Zhao State together. At the same time, there were several princes of Zhao State, and of course the prince and concubine of Zhao State were indispensable.

Lu Buwei couldn't help admiring Zhao Dan's back garden after seeing the back garden of the palace city in front of him. After all, Zhao Dan's so-called garden looked like there were fields, trees and horses, but there were not many flowers, so it can be said to be quite different.

After visiting for half a day, a gazebo appeared in front of everyone. Zhao Heng took his wife and younger brothers to the side to play with great interest. Only Zhao Dan and Lu Buwei were seated in the gazebo.

Zhao Dan sat down in the gazebo, and said with a smile, "Wu Chengjun, after you return to Xianyang this time, how are you going to deal with Cai Ze?"

The reason why he didn't ask last night was because Zhao Dan felt that Zhao Sheng and Yu Xin didn't need to know so much, or they didn't need to know so much.

Lu Buwei seemed to have a plan in his mind, so he said to Zhao Dan: "Go back to your lord, this time I plan to use the strategy of driving tigers and wolves away."

"To drive tigers to devour wolves?" Zhao Dan was obviously taken aback.

Isn't there only two factions of Lu Buwei and Cai Ze in the political arena of Qin State now? If Cai Ze is said to be a wolf, then where does the tiger come from for Lu Buwei to "drive" him?

Lu Buwei said: "Your Majesty must have heard of the name Hou."

Zhao Dan cheered up, and said with a smile: "I understand, so you want to let Hou and Cai Ze fight first?"

Lu Buwei smiled and said: "That's right." As he spoke, he told Zhao Dan about his plan in detail.

Zhao Dan nodded again and again, obviously quite satisfied with Lu Buwei's plan, and finally said this sentence to Lu Buwei.

"Work hard, the widow and Zhao Guo are your strong backing!"

Chapter 875 Hou Sheng Said King Qi (third update)

Summer is here.

The sun is fair, the blazing sunlight evenly sprinkles on every corner of the earth, making the scorching heat the theme song in the air.

For Hou Sheng, this season is also the season he hates the most.

No fat man would like summer, it has been like this since ancient times.

In winter, fat can also keep you warm. In summer, a body full of fat not only sweats, but also produces oil. These days are simply not human.

But for the sweaty Hou Sheng, the hot weather is not the most troublesome thing for him.

Because in the past few days, Qi Wangjian started to discuss a problem with him again.

Qi, is it time to join the war?

Yes, it hasn't stopped for a long time, and the little Jiujiu in Qi Wangjian's heart starts to move again.

Hou Sheng was able to understand Qi Wangjian's thoughts very well. After all, after Zhao Guoren transferred more than half of the defenders in Gaotang City, anyone who stood in front of the map would have an idea, that is, to send troops from Linzi to directly attack him. Handan conquered Zhao's capital in one fell swoop.

But the problem is

"Your Majesty, I feel that now is not the best time to intervene in the war." Hou Sheng tried his best to speak in a more tactful manner, lest his own King would lose his temper because of this.

After all, the monarch is a high-ranking professional, and he has long been accustomed to others' obedience and obedience. He really doesn't like to hear harsh words, even if they are harsh words.

But even if Hou Sheng thought it was tactful enough, Qi Wangjian obviously didn't like this sentence very much.

"Houqing, Zhao Guo's military strength in front of the widow is probably the least. If we continue to wait, then maybe the people of Zhao Guo will conquer Xinzheng!"

Qi Wangjian's words carried obvious anxiety.
