Chapter 237 King Han's plan to make the world safe
At the beginning of the fifty-third year of King Qin (254 BC), Fan Ju also passed away.
The right and left hands of King Qin left one after another. The state of Qin did not suffer from any chaos because of the loss of two important ministers. However, King Qin fell ill. This is unbelievable news.
The king who ruled Qin for fifty-three years actually fell ill. Fortunately, Cai Ze, the current prime minister, is indeed not weak in governance. He may not be as good as Fan Ju, but he has not destroyed the foundation left by Fan Ju.
Cai Ze and Fan Ju are two completely different personalities of the state. Fan Ju is ruthless and radical, while Cai Ze pays attention to letting nature take its course. After he came to power, the Qin State temporarily put aside its oppression of the six countries.
People of the country, pop their hats and celebrate this great day.
King Qin was sitting in the palace, his eyes were bloodshot. Although he still straightened up with all his strength, Cai Ze could still see the feeling of weakness at a glance, but he did not talk about King Qin's body, nor did he persuade him.
King Qin, please take care of your health. Cai Ze is a smart man. He has good vision and eloquence. He knelt down in front of King Qin and told King Qin the current situation in the world seriously.
"Your Majesty, I heard that when King Zhao heard about the death of Lord Wu An, he intended to make Lian Po and Le Jian attack the Shangdang... In the past few years, the Zhao Kingdom has been engaged in constant labor, and the people gathered around the river banks to dig canals... They were exhausted
, At this time, it is impossible for the State of Zhao to send troops to attack the State of Qin. Even if King Zhao wants to send people to attack, Wei Wuji, Lian Po and others will dissuade him. This is to be expected, so there is no need to worry about the State of Zhao.
"
"The State of Chu annexed the State of Fei and the State of Lu. They looked aggressive. In fact, they were using extreme measures to rapidly increase their strength to make up for the trauma left by their previous defeat by Qin. The Chu State even
The virtual annexation made Wei and Qi extremely dissatisfied. His alliance strategy could not be continued. Without the help of the princes, Chu State did not dare to attack Qin State..."
King Qin frowned and said seriously: "Qin is not Korea, and I am not Han Ran. What I am worried about is not whether the princes will attack Qin? It is how Qin should attack other countries? Please understand.
at this point!"
Cai Ze was not angry either. Faced with King Qin's unkind questioning, he smiled and said: "Your Majesty? Only when it is clear that Zhao and Chu do not have the strength to participate can Qin formulate its strategy against Wei with peace of mind."?
Cai Ze stroked his beard and said, "What Ying Hou implemented was a strategy to weaken Chu. This was originally to prevent Chu from interfering too much in the affairs of the Three Jin Dynasties. Isn't this the same thing as what I just said?
?”
"You are right." King Qin nodded and quickly put away his dissatisfaction.
Cai Ze then continued: "Among the three Jins, which one does your Majesty think you will plot first?"
"South Korea..."
Cai Ze laughed again, shook his head gently, and said: "As for South Korea, there is no need for you to sit in the palace and listen to the minister's strategy. South Korea is a weak country, and I can destroy it at will.
", King Qin did not speak. After being the king for so many years, King Qin had already developed a pair of eyes that could recognize people and see into people's hearts. Just looking at Cai Ze in front of him, King Qin knew more and more about him.
Already.
This is a person who has some talent, but is too arrogant. Well, what he has learned is very complicated, but he has no ideas of his own... Not to mention comparing with Wu Chengjun and Ying Hou, he also compares with Wei Wuji, Huang Xie and others.
There are some differences. However, King Qin did not reveal his inner views. Fan Ju left too suddenly, and he did not choose a minister who could replace him. Cai Ze was a good transitional substitute.
"I want to give a letter to the King of Han. I heard that the soldiers of the Wei State drove the King of Han out of Xinzheng and were very rude to him. Qin and South Korea have been friendly for generations. How can we watch the King of Han endure this?
What about the humiliation? Moreover, the soldiers of Wei State had originally attacked and killed the soldiers of Zhao State. This is Wei State's fault. Please let the King of Wei admit his mistake to the King of Han and King Zhao, and cede the city to the two countries..."
"Huh??", King Qin looked confused. Not to mention that Wei and Zhao had already formed an alliance, but as for King Han, did he have the guts to stand up and let King Wei come over to admit his mistake?
"Uncle Fan... Yinghou once said: Wei Wuji, the Prime Minister of Zhao State, and Zhao Sheng, the Prime Minister of Wei State, are not people who can be despised. I am afraid that your actions will allow Zhao State to take the opportunity to improve relations with Wei State... I understand that you are
You want to cause conflicts among the three Jins, but your strategy will probably not work." King Qin shook his head and said, Cai Ze said hurriedly: "What you said is wrong."
"My strategy is not to cause conflicts between the three Jins, but to make the Wei Kingdom surrender...The King of Wei will never admit his mistakes, and as you said, the King of Zhao will not really question the guilt.
The State of Qin originally sent troops and captured many cities in the State of Wei. You asked the State of Wei to obey your orders, but the State of Wei did not agree. It was already prepared to resist the army of the State of Qin. We can propose that as long as the King of Wei is willing to submit to
King Han and King Zhao admit their mistake and cede the city to them, and we will stop attacking Wei..."
King Qin nodded, his face still calm. This was Uncle Fan's remaining strategy.
Looking at the Yan man in front of him who was struggling to show off his talents, King Qin finally chose to believe him. Anyway, it was just a waste of a few bamboo slips.
........
"Ping...look."
King Han sat in the upper seat, squinting his eyes, inscrutable. He handed a bamboo slip to Zhang Ping who was sitting in front of him, and then closed his eyes. Zhang Ping looked a little more weathered than before, and his clothes and clothes were all worn out.
Not very neatly, he looked at King Han doubtfully, took the bamboo slip, and read it carefully. Zhang Ping frowned when he saw it. This was a letter written by King Qin to King Han.
Zhang Ping knew that an envoy from the State of Qin had come a few days ago, and it turned out that they were sending a letter from the King of Qin.
Zhang Ping looked at it carefully and read it several times. The content of the letter was very simple. The King of Qin said: "When the soldiers of Wei State humiliated you, I was very angry. How could the king be humiliated like this? I am going to let you go."
The King of Wei apologizes to you... Please follow the Qin State to accuse the King of Wei, and let the King of Wei apologize to you for his rude soldiers." Of course, there is a threat at the end.
If he does not follow Qin, the soldiers who are preparing to attack Wei will go to Xinzheng.
Zhang Ping sighed helplessly, put down the bamboo slips, and said just now: "I will send King Qin's letter to King Wei, and then send people to follow King Qin to question King Wei in disguise. King Pingyuan of Wei is a wise man.
, I will ask him for help, so that Qin will mistakenly think that South Korea and Wei are at odds with each other, so as to let South Korea go..." He said and stood up. It is not difficult to solve this matter.
As long as Wei and South Korea come to play a show, what worries him more is Qin's purpose. King Qin is obviously trying to get Wei's idea, but why does he want to involve South Korea? He just wants to destroy South Korea and South Korea.
The relationship between Wei State? Or is there a deeper conspiracy?
"Please sit down and don't leave in a hurry."
King Han spoke, Zhang Ping was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, this letter must be sent to the State of Wei as soon as possible. Before the State of Qin supervises it, make a secret agreement with the State of Wei..."
"No need." King Han laughed, his face full of confidence, and he said: "I already understand King Qin's thoughts. You don't have to worry, I have a way...", in Zhang Ping's eyes
Full of fear, he hurriedly shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, you... you are too exhausted these days, so you should leave such a trivial plan to me. Please rest assured, I will not let you
You are disappointed..."
The King of Han showed an enigmatic smile and said: "Xiang Zhang, the method you are thinking of is to pretend to question the King of Wei and deceive the King of Qin. Is that so?"
Zhang Ping nodded and said: "South Korea cannot fight with Qin, nor can it harm King Wei. It can only adopt this method. If we tell the truth, King Wei will not blame us, and he will forgive us.",
Before Zhang Ping finished speaking, the King of Han interrupted him. The King of Han said angrily: "The King of Wei doesn't blame him? I blame him! At first, the soldiers of Wei State rebelled, and I came out of the city to fight with them!"
"Although I defeated them, they killed many Koreans in Xinzheng. How can I forgive such hatred?" King Han gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Now, I just want to avenge the Koreans.
The best time is, King Wei must admit his mistake to me!"
"Your Majesty! No!" Zhang Ping said hurriedly: "This is the Qin people's plan! The Qin people definitely do not want to help the Koreans take revenge, and what you want to do now should not be revenge either. South Korea can only fight with the five countries
Only by maintaining friendly relations can you face Qin's crusade. If you force the King of Wei now, when Qin sends troops to South Korea, Zhao and Wei will not come to help South Korea."
Listening to Zhang Ping's panicked explanation, King Han did not panic. He nodded, "You are right, this is the Qin people's strategy."
"Therefore, I want to use Qin to implement my own strategy."
"You don't understand that ordinary people will kill their enemies personally, but powerful people can kill their enemies through others."
Zhang Ping almost collapsed. He bowed to the King of Han and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, Wei is a friend of South Korea, and Qin is an enemy of South Korea. You cannot use your enemies to get rid of your friends.
"
"Well..." King Han squinted his eyes and said inscrutably: "Please go back, I will not do such stupid things."
"Back when Hua Yangjun was in Korea, he told me many truths. I heard that when the Wei State attacked Korea, Shen Buhai only used a very simple strategy to get rid of the trouble for Korea...
"
"You don't mean to..."
"Come here, prepare a chariot for me, Kei!"
With a look of despair on his face, Zhang Ping slumped down on the ground.
.....
"Pfft~~" King Qin suddenly spit out the medicine in his mouth, and then he coughed violently. Seeing King Qin coughing so badly, the imperial physician hurriedly came over and patted King Qin on the back.
Only then did he come to his senses. He put down the herbs he had just brewed, stared at the scout in front of him with his eyes wide open, and asked blankly: "What did you just say?"
"The King of Han is riding in a carriage, holding Gui, starting from Xinzheng and heading towards Xianyang...", the scout said again seriously.
"Hey...hahaha~~" King Qin suddenly laughed, almost crying. Perhaps he laughed too hard, and he coughed again. The imperial doctor hurriedly came up again. King Qin paused for a long time, and then said with emotion:
"The King of Han is almost going to kill me." He stretched his body and felt that his whole body was so relaxed. All the diseases that had plagued him these days seemed to have dissipated in an instant.
Holding the Gui is a ritual required by princes to pay homage to the Emperor. The King of Han came all the way to Xianyang holding the Gui. His purpose was very clear. He wanted to surrender to the State of Qin and meet the King of Qin. This was something the King of Qin had never thought about.
, at this time, he remembered Cai Ze's words, South Korea has nothing to fear, he can destroy it at will. King Qin hurriedly sent someone to invite Cai Ze.
Cai Ze was handling government affairs in various places in the courtyard. When he heard the king of Qin summoned him, he put down what he was doing and rushed to the palace.
As soon as Cai Ze entered the palace, King Qin bowed to him and said, "I don't know your strategy, sir, and I didn't give you the respect you deserve. This is my fault. Please forgive me."
Cai Ze was stunned for a moment, and then he returned the greeting and said: "Please don't say that. I was originally a poor person whom no one knew. It was you who promoted me and made me the Prime Minister of the country. I will do my best to repay you."
of kindness.”
King Qin then smiled, pulled Cai Ze kindly, and asked him to sit down.
"Xiang Cai... I really didn't expect that a bamboo slip from you would make the King of Han rush to Xianyang and be willing to surrender to me..." King Qin shook his head and said with emotion: "No wonder the Marquis Ying came to recommend him in person.
you...."
"Huh??" Cai Ze was surprised, what? The King of Han rushed to Xianyang and was willing to surrender??
King Qin asked again: "How did you make King Han willing to surrender to me?"
"Ahem, Your Majesty, it's like this... South Korea is a weak country. It can only be saved from destruction through the protection of big countries. Now no country can rescue it. At this time, as long as we show a little kindness to it.
, if there is a strong military force as a threat, he will definitely surrender...ahem." Cai Ze tried hard to explain, and after explaining for a long time, King Qin nodded.
"I don't know that besides Ying Hou, you can also see through the enemy's lies so easily."
"Sir, now that the King of Han is coming to Xianyang, I am planning to kill him and annex South Korea. What do you think?"
"No." Cai Ze shook his head and said: "King Han's heir is still very young, and there is a prime minister like Zhang Ping in the country to assist him. If we kill King Han, the six countries will be shocked, and Zhang Ping of South Korea will immediately
Support the new king, and then ask for help from Wei, Zhao and other countries. He is not a stupid person, I am afraid that he is ready now. My king, are you willing to fight with someone like Zhang Ping, or are you willing to fight with someone like King Han?
What about people fighting each other?”
King Qin laughed loudly and said, "Okay, according to your suggestion, we will arrange a banquet to entertain King Han."
ps: I just came back from the wedding and started to update. Watching my friends getting married one by one, Lao Lang felt really bitter... I didn’t drink this time, so I can still code.
