Li Kou lived in Wuling Mansion for a few days, and he finally waited for the opportunity to meet Qin Zhong, the commander of Zhao's Fifth Army.
The Fifth Army of Zhao State is a rare mechanized army in Zhao State.
The particularity of the Fifth Army led to the fact that the entire Fifth Army was composed of Han people, and there were no other indigenous people who had completed Chineseization.
The upper echelons of Zhao State are not stupid either. It is extremely dangerous for the natives to have weapons like guns.
If the indigenous people were allowed to master chariots and artillery, such powerful heavy weapons.
When the national power declines, once it joins in rebellion, it will be difficult to suppress it.
Li Kou also had to find a way to convince Qin Zhong.
Pang Lin set three major goals to be achieved as much as possible: Zhao Yan, Qin Zhong, and Xi Muyu.
Once completed, the rewards are generous.
The achievements they achieved were enough for them to become viscounts and enter the circle of nobles.
This is just a carrot that fell in front of you, but you can actually eat it.
The real big stick is that once it fails, the Zhao generals will directly choose to execute envoys like him in order to show their loyalty.
As for escaping, that's simply impossible.
Li Kou believed that he was surrounded by spies from Xiang Kingdom.
As long as he made the slightest move, these people would definitely shoot him to death.
There is a great possibility of gaining glory and wealth by moving forward, but there is only a dead end if you retreat.
Li Kou felt anxious and went to Luyuan Tea House to meet Qin Zhong.
His boots made a creaking sound on the wooden stairs.
Every time Li Kou climbed a step, his mood became more stable.
He has strong perseverance to adjust his nervous emotions.
No matter how nervous you are in your heart, it still gives people a calm feeling on the surface.
This skill was developed by Li Kou through previous frauds.
During the fraud process, once the victim discovers that he has been defrauded, he will most likely be beaten to death on the spot.
If Li Kou loses his position in front of Qin Zhong, his end will not be too good.
When drawing lots at that time, I was most afraid of picking a general who had no chance at all.
Going to persuade such generals is not actually to convince them, but to use this method to estrange the trust between the kings and ministers of Zhao State.
As long as some generals rebel, King Zhao will definitely not trust the frontline generals like before.
If King Zhao has the idea of changing generals before the battle, the country of Xiang will achieve great success.
After all, there are not many capable and loyal generals in Zhao State.
Replacing a general who is an armchair general may very well affect the direction of the war.
As soon as Li Kou arrived on the third floor, he was led into a private room by a guard.
The customers of Luyuan Teahouse are either rich or expensive, and this is also a place where some noble people can mix things up in private.
There are private rooms among the private rooms, and the sound insulation effect is very good.
When Li Kou came to the private room, he saw a young general enjoying a leisurely meal.
He immediately bowed and saluted: "Meet General Qin."
General Qin Zhong slammed the table and said angrily: "You guys are too bold. You are really not afraid that I will arrest you directly."
Li Kou immediately stood up and sat down and said with a smile: "General Qin is joking. General Qin really wants to do this. I can't even get in here."
General Qin Zhong's face turned cold: "I just want to see what conspiracies you Xiangguo people have up to."
Li Kou laughed, picked up the slightly hot tea on the table and drank it in one gulp.
He looked at Qin Zhong with pitiful eyes and said calmly: "General Qin, you are on the verge of death and you don't know it. What a pitiful person."
General Qin immediately widened his eyes and began to breathe heavier.
He directly pulled out the pistol from his waist and pointed it at Li Kou's forehead.
"Why have I become such a pitiful person? I will send you to the underworld immediately."
Li Kou was pointed at a gun. He was already panicking, but on the surface he still looked calm.
Because he knew that if he really panicked, he would lose his life.
He said unhurriedly: "General Qin dares to say that he is King Zhao's confidant?
With more than 300 chariots in the hands of General Qin, was King Zhao really at ease?
General Qin is not a direct descendant of the First Army, will King Zhao really trust you?
General Qin was able to climb to his current position only because chariots were a new thing and few people knew about chariots.
General Qin could climb so high by seizing this opportunity.
Today is different from the past. Zhao Guo now has the ability to train relevant talents on its own.
General Qin has already experienced the feeling of being gradually marginalized.
General Qin could still have a decent retirement life before.
Now General Qin will undoubtedly die, just because General Qin chose to see me."
General Qin Zhong said angrily: "You dare to frame me. I will kill you right now."
"General Qin, calm down, even if you shoot me, it will not help solve the current problem.
After General Qin shoots me, my identity will be revealed immediately.
No matter how General Qin defends himself, King Zhao will not believe it.
General Chen had no choice but to wait for death or to fight.
But at that time, General Qin had already offended our country of Xiang.
Without external support, General Qin could resist Zhao alone, and the end can be imagined."
General Qin Zhong put the gun back into his waist.
He thought carefully about what the messenger said.
Something he hadn't thought about before suddenly came to mind.
General Qin Zhong is not a direct descendant of King Zhao Su Xiong, which has always been a problem for him.
The direct line of King Zhao is a circle, and some resources only circulate within the circle.
The interests of the people in this circle are also deeply bound to Zhao State.
This is the group of people who can gain the trust of King Zhao.
He has been unable to join this circle for a long time. Even if he is willing to marry a family in the circle, he cannot succeed.
General Qin Zhong discovered some young officers who performed equally well in the army.
These people are willing to marry them.
This is not because these people insist on intermarriage within the circle, but because they look down on Qin Zhong.
It's not that one or two families look down on him, but the entire circle looks down on him.
After all, they got the news in advance that his future was slim.
General Qin Zhong weighed it repeatedly in his mind, was he really willing to give up the power in his hands?
He actually knew that as soon as he started thinking about this question, the answer would already be obvious.
Because a truly free and easy person would never think about problems like this.
General Qin Zhong smiled bitterly and said: "Even if I want to do something, I can't do it successfully.
Not to mention the Chief of Staff of the Fifth Army and others, as long as they are willing to unite, they can immediately defeat me.
Even the soldiers at the bottom, whose families are in Zhao State, are not willing to follow me in rebellion."
When Li Kou heard General Qin Zhong relent, he immediately struck while the iron was hot.
"General Qin, you are completely underestimating the power you have in your hands.
Youdao means to strike first and gain the upper hand. As long as you deal with those who have objections in the army in advance, the fifth army will be under your control.
As for General Qin's inability to gain the trust of lower-level soldiers.
If you want to solve it this way, it will become extremely difficult, but as long as you change the way, you will find that it is not difficult at all.
General Qin has been in the army for many years, so he should know who is loyal to Zhao and who is just for fame and fortune.
As long as you can control part of the army, you can control the current situation and recruit new soldiers locally.
The newly recruited soldiers' loyalty to General Qin should be guaranteed.
As long as General Qin is willing to do this, our Xiangguo Congress will provide at least five million taels of silver coins.
General Qin has money, food and soldiers, so he can rely on your ability to fight for a future."
When General Qin Zhong heard the five million taels of silver coins, his eyes immediately lit up.
With so many silver coins, he can bribe some neutral people to side with him.
Wuling Mansion is just a place of residence, and General Qin Zhong has no ambition to annex Zhao State.
With the remaining few million taels of silver coins, we can purchase enough weapons and ammunition and recruit a large number of new soldiers into the army.
The purchasing power of silver coins is still very strong.
General Qin Zhong was hesitant before, but when he heard the amount of silver coins Xiang Guo was willing to support, his heart immediately began to beat.
With so many silver coins, even if he fails, he can remain anonymous and go to other countries to spend the rest of his life.
General Qin Zhong said with a serious expression: "I need to see the money first before we can continue the conversation."
Li Kou immediately took out a stack of deposit certificates from Imperial Huaxia Bank from his bag.
"This is a certificate of deposit worth ten thousand taels of silver coins. There are one hundred certificates in total.
This kind of bearer certificate of deposit can be taken out by anyone at any imperial bank.
The deposit certificates of Imperial Hua Xia Bank have unique anti-counterfeiting technology.
The clear watermark and color-changing ink on the deposit receipt, coupled with the unique code, make it very easy to verify the authenticity of the deposit receipt."
General Qin Zhong looked at the stack of deposit certificates worth one million taels of silver coins on the table, and he was extremely jealous.
He weighed it in his mind for a long time and finally made up his mind.
"Your Xiangguo is so powerful, and you are well aware of the weaknesses of human nature.
I do have ambitions and don't want to spend my life doing nothing.
This general has agreed to Xiang Guo’s request.”
When Li Kou heard Qin Zhong agreed, he completely relaxed.
This mission is too dangerous, but the rewards are also great.
Regardless of whether Qin Zhong's actions were successful or not, he had already received the rewards he deserved.
From then on, he was no longer a despised fraudster, but a new nobleman in Xiangguo.
…
At the IKEA Restaurant in Jinyuan Mansion, Wang Xin was pacing back and forth in his room.
"It's over, it's over.
Why am I so unlucky to win such a lottery?
I'm going to die, what should I do?
Can you really run away?"
When Wang Xin drew Zhao Yan, he felt that this person was troublesome.
During the Ming Dynasty, Zhao Jian joined the First Army of the Empire and served under Zhao Wang Su Xiong.
Under normal circumstances, direct descendants like King Zhao Su Xiong would not be included in the persuasion list.
This kind of direct lineage cannot be convinced at all.
He was also trusted by King Su Xiong of Zhao, so it was simply not feasible to use this method to alienate him.
Some time ago, it was reported that there was some conflict between Zhao Wang Su Xiong and Zhao Yan.
Master Pang Lin finally made up his mind and sent someone to contact Zhao Yan.
Pang Daren also encouraged them to try their best to persuade Zhao Huan, even if it meant paying millions of taels of silver coins.
Old people from the First Army would choose to betray King Zhao Su Xiong.
When this news is spread, it will inevitably cause violent fluctuations in the political situation of Zhao State.
Once this happens, it will only be a blow to Zhao State, which cannot be measured by silver coins.
Wang Xin initially thought that he might survive.
When he came to Jinyuan Mansion, he heard a piece of news that made him feel like he was struck by lightning.
Zhao Jian's eldest son married a princess of Zhao Kingdom.
If their daughter marries a certain prince, the Zhao family may also be involved in a struggle for the throne.
If the Zhao family marries the daughter of King Zhao, it means that the favor of the Zhao family is growing.
The Zhao family has just married into the royal family and their future is guaranteed.
At this moment, Zhao Yan definitely cannot be convinced.
If Wang Xin really wants to go, it will only be a gift of death and will not have any effect.
He doesn't want to die yet, so he can only hide in the hotel and think of ways to break the situation.
Wang Xin knew that he did not have much time left.
The uprising planned by Lord Pang Lin should have entered the preparation stage.
Only by causing wars in many places can Zhao's army be exhausted.
The time for the uprising will be almost the same.
Wang Xin has been delaying for a long time and has almost reached the limit. He will definitely not be able to delay it any longer. He must give Lord Pang Lin a clear answer.
He was very anxious and could not think of a good solution.
He had no choice but to turn on the radio. This square box was really good.
People from all walks of life and from all walks of life can hear stories from the program.
The program he is listening to now is the storytelling "Civet Cat for Prince".
"A civet cat can still be a prince. This really makes people think they are fools."
After Wang Xin said this, his eyes immediately lit up.
"A civet cat can be exchanged for a prince. I remember Pang Pang said that if the general cannot be dealt with, then deal with his subordinates.
If you really encounter a commander who doesn't like silver coins, then replace him with a subordinate who likes silver coins.
Zhao Yan is too difficult to deal with, but his subordinates can be dealt with completely.
If you lower your goals and expectations, it will be basically impossible for these subordinates to succeed.
But if the army is in turmoil and fatal flaws are exposed, the difficulty is much lower."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Wang Xin finalized the plan, and he immediately started collecting relevant information.
After sorting and screening overnight, he selected Master Miao Kai.
The reason why Wang Xin chose Miao Kai was simple: he had a grudge against Zhao Yan.
Zhao Xian directly executed Miao Kai's only son on the grounds of violating military discipline.
Now Zhao Yan's position is completely stable, and he can still speak in front of King Zhao Su Xiong through the princess.
If Zhao Huan was doing too well, Miao Kai would definitely feel uncomfortable.
He is also about to face Zhao Yan's suppression.
If Miao Fang were to rely solely on himself, Zhao Yan would have the right time, right place, right people, and the right people, and he would have no hope of making a comeback.
Miao Kai is now a gambler who has lost his money.
As long as he sees the hope of making money, he will spend all his savings and gamble again.
Even if it costs his life, he will not hesitate.
Wang Xin met the decadent Miao Kai in an empty thatched house in the suburbs.
"Mr. Miao, seeing your enemy looking happy will definitely make you feel uncomfortable.
If Mr. Miao continues like this, you will become a useless person."
Miao Kai glanced at Wang Xin and said disdainfully: "I know who you are, don't make excuses for me, I don't believe you at all.
Just ask, what can Xiangguo provide for me?"
Wang Xin shrugged: "Xiangguo is far away from Jinyuanfu and is separated from the front line, so it is definitely not possible to transport supplies.
The only thing we can support is silver coins.
If Master Miao is willing, we are willing to provide you with one million taels of silver coins."
When Mr. Miao Fang heard this amount, he nodded with satisfaction.
"Your country is indeed a country of silver. Giving silver coins is such a pleasure."
"That old guy Zhao Yan won't let me go, and I'm not a fool either."
Miao Kai was extremely angry and said this through gritted teeth.
