Chapter 208 Agreement
"Even so, Ziying must always be on guard against Han Xin, and he must ask others." Yingbu insisted.
"It was indeed the case, but it was no longer necessary just now." Lu Jia said with a smile, "You can hold on to Guanzhong, and you can control the river in Jiujiang. If there is a war between Qin and Jiujiang, Han Xin will follow Linjiang and go south to Jiujiang.
It is much easier than attacking Hangu Pass. The person who should worry most is the King of Jiujiang."
"this..."
Yingbu was speechless for a moment, Lu Jia's words made sense, but he did not want to abandon the rich Nanyang in Linjiang State, so he suddenly felt in a dilemma.
"I originally wanted to prevent the two countries from forming an alliance, but now the mission has been completed. The King of Jiujiang wants to kill and cook, and I have no complaints." Lu Jia joked.
"Mr. Lu, just tell me what your plans are!" Yingbu said anxiously, "As long as we don't cede the land, everyone can agree."
"I can't make the decision, I need to discuss it with the King of Qin." Lu Jia said with a smile.
During the war, land was the most important thing. If Yingbu didn't want to take the land, nothing else would be worth talking about.
Yingbu guessed Chen Ping's thoughts and quickly explained, "Jiujiang is surrounded by enemies on all sides. Even if I surrender, the King of Qin still needs to send heavy troops to guard it and disperse the Qin army. Besides, the King of Qin probably doesn't want to leave the country at this time, right?"
"That makes sense." Lu Jia pondered, "What is the King of Jiujiang's plan?"
"I have Baiyue soldiers who are more powerful than Qin and Chu!" Yingbu said loudly, "As long as the King of Qin sends some troops at Hangu Pass, if Han Xin attacks Jiujiang, the Qin soldiers will come out to harass them. The Linjiang war is over, and I
Then he gave King Qin eight hundred soldiers from Baiyue."
"Eight hundred?" Lu Jia smiled bitterly, "Jiujiang is close to Baiyue, isn't eight hundred too few?"
"Having said that, most of the Baiyue soldiers have followed Taihou Meiyuan and my widowed father-in-law Wu Rui. It is extremely difficult to recruit and train 800 soldiers." Yingbu's tone was almost begging for mercy.
"Please think about it for a moment."
Lu Jia was in trouble and waited for Yingbu to increase his number.
However, Yingbu had no intention of doing so. He blushed and said anxiously, "If Mr. Lu Jia is worried about me, I can first send 400 people to follow Mr. Qin back to Qin. After the matter is completed, I will send them all as a gift."
"That's fine." Lu Jia nodded in compromise, "Besides, if Han Xin attacks Qin, please ask the King of Jiujiang to station troops to disturb him."
"Of course you can." Yingbu smiled.
The two signed an agreement, and Yingbu personally escorted Lu Jia out of the royal court.
Xun Jin hurriedly stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Prime Minister Lu, which piece of land in Great Qin does Yingbu want?"
"Not only do you not ask for anything, but you also want to give Da Qin some gifts." Lu Jia said with a smile.
Suihe, who was originally in despair, raised his head and glared at Lu Jia, "Lu Jia, you villain! Pei Gong was right to drive you out. He cut off Xiangyang of Bashu, but instead he fought for benefits for Qin and took away everything he had inside!"
Lu Jia chuckled lightly, unmoved, "Mr. Sui He, if you can be exempted from punishment for insulting me, you can do whatever you want."
"Stop looking like a villain!" Suihe said angrily, "Suihe will definitely inform Mrs. Liu to be prepared. Ziying and his Qin soldiers will die on the plank road."
"I will also remind King Qin to be more careful." Lu Jia said with cupped hands.
Sui He angrily wanted to take action, but when he saw Xun Jin looking murderous, he waved his sleeves angrily and left.
"Ben He, take Mr. Lu Jia to the military camp to select 400 Vietnamese soldiers and follow them back to Qin." Yingbu ordered.
"Why?!" Ben He's face twitched, "They were all trained hard by Jiujiang, why should they be given to Qin?"
"Stop talking nonsense, just go if you are told." Yingbu urged.
Ben He had no choice but to obey and led three people to the military camp. He casually pointed out Lu Jia's 400 people and left with a cold snort in displeasure.
Lu Matong had woken up from his coma and shuddered when he saw the rows of Baiyue people with unkind expressions in front of him.
"How come it's scarier than the ones outside..."
"General Lu Qi is awake? Do you still remember what Prime Minister Lu told you?" Xun Jin pushed Lu Matong away and threatened.
"Xiaguan means 'put yourself to death and survive' in Sun Tzu's Art of War. Prime Minister Lu misunderstood." Lu Matong explained, "Otherwise we would have been killed by Yingbu."
Lu Jia's face darkened, "Stop making excuses! Death is a small matter, but betraying Qin's plan is a big deal. Even if the king blocks it this time, I will definitely not be able to spare you!"
"Xiaoguan didn't make any excuses." Lu Matong said anxiously, "The King of Jiujiang released him just after hearing what he said."
"Bah!" Xun Jin spat, and the wound on his chest hurt when he stretched out his chest. "It's obviously Yingbu who was persuaded by Prime Minister Lu."
"It's true that a child cannot be taught," Lu Jia said angrily, "The books the king asked you to study were all in vain! After you return to Qin, I guarantee that you will never be an official again within three generations."
"No...this..." Lu Matong was so anxious that he almost shed tears, "Prime Minister Lu, don't you think that Yingbu is weird?!"
"Of course I can see it." Lu Jia snorted coldly, "Yingbu can use cruelty to hide his intelligence and deceive everyone. He has already formed an alliance with the Yan State, and he dares to threaten the Qin Dynasty by forming an alliance with Han Xin."
Xun Jin frowned slightly and asked, "But how did the Prime Minister know that Yingbu only killed one Bashu envoy?"
He heard Lu Jia's analysis outside the door, but he deduced it on the premise that only one envoy from Bashu died.
"It's simple." Lu Jia replied, "An envoy from Bashu has died. The next one who dares to go, Ding Feifan, will not die easily at the hands of Yingbu. So Sui He is the second one."
"I admire you." Xun Jin quickly bowed his hands respectfully.
"That's not what the official is talking about!" Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Lu Matong shouted loudly, "It's about his tattoo and the book he got!"
"What's so strange about this?" Xun Jin said disdainfully, "Yingbu was tattooed for committing a crime at a young age, and the Tao Te Ching was written by a Chu person."
"Don't try to excuse yourself, General Lu!"
Lu Jia was riding his horse and was about to leave when his body suddenly stiffened.
