Chapter 365 Ascension to the Throne (3)(2/2)
He said halfway, but stopped and said softly: "I have heard that Liu Ji is dead... I didn't expect that King Tang would dare to use you."
Fan Kuai's expression calmed down, and after a moment, he whispered: "The King of Tang is a man with a broad mind and is very nostalgic.
Not only me, but also Mr. Xiao He and Lu Wan, are now under the command of the King of Tang... Old Zhou, you look like you are old!"
Zhou Shi showed a bitter smile on his face.
"Since it's a reunion of old friends, why not find a quiet place to tell the old love?"
Zhou Shi hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I'm about to question you."
He spoke badly, but Lu Jia seemed to have not heard it. He took Zhou Shi's hand and got on the car together, and came to a secluded winery.
Everyone sat down with the host and the host, and Zhou Shi and Fan Kuai told their old feelings again.
When he learned about Tang Li's death, Zhou Shi's face showed a lonely look and sighed repeatedly.
"How many old people in Pei County have left?"
"But there are not many..."
Lu Jia interrupted, "The King of Tang is a nostalgic person. He often talks with us about the past Pei County time, especially the various things that happened in Zhaoyang Daze. He is always sighing."
"Yes, if there were no King of Tang back then, Zhou City would have long been a dry bone in the tomb."
When Zhou Shi said this, he suddenly laughed, "However, I still underestimated the King of Tang. When he went north to Jiuyuan, I still felt that he could not do anything. Unexpectedly, in just two years, he had dominated the north and became the biggest overlord today... It's ridiculous to think about it now."
What's ridiculous?
Should I laugh at myself for being short-sighted, or is it a good thing to laugh at Liu Kan for being very lucky?
I'm afraid only Zhou Shi himself knows it.
However, he suddenly changed his mind and stared at Lu Jia and said, "Dr. Lu, I know that you are clever and eloquent, and together with Kuai Che, you are called Su Qin and Zhang Yi of Tang. However, this time you came to persuade the King of Wei to send troops, and it was clearly intended to kill the King of Wei? It was such an unrighteous act.
The State of Chu seems to be in a embarrassing state, but it is far from comparable to the State of Wei.
Although Qi State delayed Chu State, in my opinion, Tian Rong is definitely not the place of Xiang Ji. Once he ended the war between the Three Qis, he would inevitably retaliate against Wei State. At that time... Haha, no matter whether it is the victory of Wei State or the victory of Chu State, who can resist the attack of the King of Tang Bingfeng?
You are going to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight, let the snipe and the clam fight, so that the fisherman can benefit..."
Fan Kuai suddenly became nervous and couldn't help but hold the sword under his ribs.
On the contrary, Lu Jia smiled calmly, "I don't hide it from the Prime Minister. Lu Jia has never thought of hiding it from the Prime Minister here. But Lu Jia also knows the Prime Minister's situation in Wei State. Even if you go to explain to the King of Wei now, I'm afraid the King of Wei will not obey it."
"this……"
Lu Jia said: "When the King of Tang went north, he wanted to ask the Chief to go there.
But at that time, the situation was chaotic. Even if the King of Tang made a mistake, the Prime Minister might not believe that the King of Tang could have the power to turn the world back, and was the man of destiny.
The Prime Minister is a great wise man. Since it is difficult to gain a foothold here, why not go to Guanzhong with me?
You must know that the King of Tang is still obsessed with the Prime Minister. The King of Tang still remembers the kindness of the Prime Minister's help in Daliang."
Zhou Shi's cheeks twitched, and he seemed to be a little moved.
But he was still hesitating... No matter what, he was a retainer of the King of Wei in the past, and Wei Ju treated him well back then, so he could be said to be obedient.
Before his death, he held Zhou Shi's hand and said, "Mr. Zhou, please be more careful in the future of Wei State."
He is a entrusted official.
Although he is not satisfied with his life now, he has never thought about betraying Wei State. But he also knows that Wei State will not last long.
Whether it is Chu or Tang, the ambition to unify is undoubtedly revealed. How can Wei be allowed to exist?
Lu Jia's persuasion made Zhou Shi a little moved.
However, he had to consider a lot, besides the word "loyalty and righteousness", there were other factors. For example, if he surrendered to the King of Tang, how could he gain a foothold? He and Liu Kan did have friendships, but most of them were friends of interests... He was not as good as old ministers like Kuai Che and Lu Jia; he might even be worse than those of Fan Kuai and Lu Wan who surrendered later, so what's the point?
If you surrender, you must get the right to speak in front of Liu Kan.
But this right to speak is not easy to get...
Fan Kuai said: "Old Zhou, you have been so kind to the Wei State. Why are you hesitating about this situation now?
My king has made up his mind to solve all problems next year. Do you think that Chu can withstand the edge of my king's army?"
"Bullshit..."
Lu Jia was startled and quickly wanted to stop him.
This is a major matter involving confidentiality!
Fan Kuai smiled and shook his head, "Donal Jung-Chun Lu, don't worry, I know Lao Zhou's character. Sometimes he is too awkward and he can't make a decision without explaining it clearly... Lao Zhou, there were not many people who participated in the Battle of Zhaoyang Daze together back then.
I really hope that everyone can be together, work together, and drink together, just like when they were in Peixian, and that is considered happy.
I've said so much, what do you say?"
Zhou Shi looked at Fan Kuai with a wry smile, "Master, you are forcing me."
"I'm just forcing you!"
Fan Kuai's unreasonableness made Lu Jia laugh.
Zhou Shi pondered for a moment, "The city has long been willing to join the King of Tang, but it is because of the lack of a ceremony for the audience, so...
However, when Doctor Lu came this time, he gave me a chance. Please tell His Highness the King of Tang that Zhou was willing to surrender. But... when the king seized Heluo, it was the day when Zhou surrendered. At that time, the city would still offer generous gifts, so please be patient with the King of Tang."
Fan Kuai couldn't understand the meaning of Zhou Shi's dialect.
But Lu Jia heard it.
He took a deep breath and asked softly: "Master Zhou's meaning is to put that..."
Zhou Shi quickly made a gesture of silence, and then nodded, "This matter requires the cooperation of the King of Tang. If Heluo is not stable, Zhou Shi will not be able to do anything."
Lu Jia nodded repeatedly, "This matter is of great importance, I should return to Xianyang as soon as possible.
Prime Minister Zhou, if you can do things, do things, and if you can't do things, you must not force them. The king needs not one state or one county, but the gentleman himself."
What you say is so comfortable no matter how you hear it.
A warm feeling flowed through Zhou Shi's heart, and he stood up and bowed, "Thank you, Doctor Lu for his good intentions. Please wait for Zhou Shi and greet His Highness the King of Tang."
After saying that, Zhou Shi said goodbye and left.
Fan Kuai asked in confusion: "Dr. Lu, what do Lao Zhou's words mean?"
Lu Jia did not answer, but just smiled and said softly: "Bullshit, we should set off for the trip as soon as possible and return to Xianyang to report... This matter needs to be known as soon as possible and make a decision early. Haha, if it goes well, we will not be able to say that this matter will be revisited in the past year."
