Political struggles are not necessarily life-or-death situations; sometimes compromise can lead to the end.
It doesn't matter whether Wang Lu did this to help him or to lure him into a fight with Fan Ju.
The army has just been defeated, so it is not appropriate for the two to have a conflict.
Of course, if the king wants to fight, he is not afraid. Compared with political struggles, even ten kings tied together are no match for him.
"I will report this matter to your Majesty, and it will be up to your Majesty to decide everything." Wang Hao said calmly with no abnormality on his face.
He doesn't like Zheng Anping either, but he can't help it because his background is tough.
Fan Ju's favor in front of Qin Wangji was unique.
In the Qin State, ministers were divided into two types, one was called Fan Ju, and the other was called other ministers.
Many people thought that Lu Buwei might replace Fan Ju, but Wang Lu understood that as long as Qin Wangji was still alive, Lu Buwei could never replace Fan Ju.
Unless Fan Ju is dead.
"General!" Qiang He said urgently, and everyone looked at Wang He.
"Okay, everyone, sit down." Wang Hao waved his hand and said.
The generals glared at Zheng Anping and sat down reluctantly.
Zheng Anping breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Wang Lu didn't kill him, he would not die. When he returned home, he would write a letter to Fan Ju and ask him to speak kindly to the King of Qin.
"Let's talk about the next thing..." Wang Hao said.
"General, general, something serious has happened. I just got the news that our prisoners... our prisoners were killed by the Three Jin Dynasties." At this time, a messenger walked in quickly and said urgently.
"What!" Suddenly, there was an uproar in the camp. Everyone stood up and looked at the messenger in disbelief.
The ordering soldiers were so frightened that they retreated repeatedly.
"Is this true?" Wan pulled the messenger over and lifted it up with his right hand. His ferocious face covered the face of the messenger, and his teeth creaked.
"Seriously..." the messenger said tremblingly.
"How dare Zhao Guo!" Wan threw the messenger to the ground and yelled angrily, his inner energy hitting his armor and making a clanging sound.
"There are more than 20,000 people. Isn't Zhao Guo afraid of the world's rebuke?" Qiang Xu blasted the desk in front of him into powder with one punch.
There were constant scoldings in the camp, and Zhao was the most scolded. The Qin army did not know that the prisoners were killed by the Wei army and the Han army. Even if they knew, they would not care. Anyway, the three Jins are together, and no one is innocent.
If you have a chance to take revenge, don't even think about running away.
I don’t know how Le Cheng felt after finding out.
"When the Qin army killed the Zhao people, weren't they afraid of the world's rebuke?" At this time, an extremely harsh voice sounded in the crowd.
"Who are you talking about?" Wan said angrily. He was so angry and worried that he couldn't find anyone to vent to. Someone actually stood up to speak for Sanjin. He simply didn't want to live anymore.
"Me." A cold gaze looked at Wan, and Wan immediately suppressed the words that reached her lips.
Lu Buwei said calmly, "A house that accumulates good deeds will always be happy; a house that accumulates bad deeds will have disaster. The same goes for countries. When the Qin State massacred the Three Jins and the Chu State, the whole city of Ying turned into a stinking pond.
, it’s time to think about this day.”
Although Lu Buwei chose to join the Qin Dynasty, it does not mean that he has a high sense of identification with the Qin State. As a Weiguo who grew up in the Three Jin Dynasties, he traveled all over the country in these years, and what he heard most was people's hatred and rejection of the Qin State.
In addition, the Qin State has always emphasized agriculture and suppressed business, and as a businessman, Lu Buwei is even less likely to have a good impression of the Qin State.
Of course, these are not worth mentioning in the face of interests. Even if the enemy is standing in front of him, Lu Buwei can still talk and do business happily, let alone Qin.
When Lu Buwei discovered the potential of Zi Chu, he chose to support Zi Chu without hesitation and joined the Qin State to achieve a class leap.
"Can this be the same? That is the son of my Qin State. How can he be compared to those losers from the Three Jin Dynasties?" Wan said in a deep voice.
"You were defeated by trash." Lu Buwei said calmly.
"you……"
"Are you angry? The three Jin and Chu states were once angrier than you, but it's of no use. The anger of the weak is just more fun. If you want revenge, defeat Zhao on the battlefield." Lu Buwei said.
"This is just a lucky win for Sanjin. We will definitely win it back next time." Wan said loudly.
Lu Buwei turned to face Wang Lu, bowed and saluted, and said, "General, I am ready to return to Xianyang."
Destroying the Zhou Kingdom and seizing the Nine Cauldrons was his strategy, and it was also the foundation for him to become one person below ten thousand people.
Now that the army was defeated and the three Jin allied forces entered the royal city, Qin's strategy was hindered, and Qin was likely to change its strategic plan. He must go back in person to strengthen King Qin's determination.
Only he can do it in the entire Qin State, and he doesn't worry about others.
"Thank you for your hard work, military advisor." Wang Hao thought for a moment and understood Lu Buwei's purpose of returning.
At this time, someone really needs to go back and tell Qin Wangji the details of the war.
If the Qin State continues to adhere to the strategy of destroying the Zhou State and seizing the Jiuding, it is very likely that the leader will change.
So far, there are only three people in Qin who are qualified to succeed him as the general, Sima Cuo, Wei Ran, and Bai Qi. The first two are almost impossible, so Bai Qi is most likely.
He needs to create favorable conditions for Bai Qi as much as possible before Bai Qi arrives.
…
Compared with Luoyang, Handan is now more prosperous.
The city expanded several times, and wide roads closely connected Handan with other parts of Zhao State. The streets were bustling with traffic and the sound of hawking was endless.
The ministers were handling their own affairs as usual, occasionally raising their heads and chatting for a few words, without much worry about the front line.
For the State of Zhao, it is best to win this battle. Even if it loses and the State of Zhou dies, the impact will not be big.
Zhou State is small and has a sparse population. If it swallows Zhou State, Qin State will not be able to increase its strength much.
Moreover, Zhao and Qin had Han and Wei as buffers before them, so there should not be another war in the short term.
Zhao State's energy should be focused on Yan State. This is Zhao State's short-term goal.
"Where is the king?" Wei Wuji asked after finishing handling the official duties in front of him, standing up and briefly stretching his muscles.
"According to the travel time, we should have arrived at Daijun." Zhao Sheng said.
"To the east of Dai County is Shanggu County of Yan State. I heard that Ma Fujun once served as the governor of Shanggu County." Wei Wuji asked.
"Ma Fujun did say that." Zhao Sheng nodded.
"The last of the eight armies of Taihang, Duxing, must be in Shanggu County." Wei Wuji continued.
"Not bad." Zhao Sheng said.
"The five-year period of 200,000 captives of Yan State will end next year." Wei Wuji changed the subject.
"Yes, next year will be the last year." Zhao Sheng felt a little disappointed.
In the past few years, the 200,000 captives of the Yan State have made a lot of contributions to the Zhao State. Without these captives, there would be no Zhao State today. Zhao Sheng was reluctant to let them go.
"Time is running out." Wei Wuji murmured, facing north.
