When Zhang Tang heard that the prime minister sent someone to see him, Zhang Tang suddenly became a little uneasy. He rejected Lu Buwei's proposal, which was considered to have offended Lu Buwei. He was very afraid that Lu Buwei would deal with him, but he was also worried that he had not yet swallowed Yan.
The State of Yan was killed by the people of Zhao... The State of Zhao had many knight-errant warriors. If these people wanted to assassinate themselves, the State of Yan would definitely not be safe.
However, when Zhang Tang saw the child sitting in front of him, he was even more surprised. His eyes widened and he thought for a long time before asking in confusion: "You came to see me on the order of the Prime Minister?"
?" He then looked at the few warriors behind the child. These warriors were responsible for protecting Lu Buwei. Zhang Tang knew them, and he couldn't help but ask: "Why did the Prime Minister send a child to see me?
"
Gan Luo was not even as old as Zhang Tang's son.
Gan Luo said calmly: "Because you don't know about the problems that even a child like me can figure out, so the Prime Minister sent me to see you."
Zhang Tang was stunned for a moment, then asked: "What do you want to say?"
Gan Luo then asked: "Compared with your contribution and the original Wu'an Lord Bai Qi, who has greater contribution?"
"Wu'an Jun defeated the powerful Chu State in the south, used force to intimidate Zhao and Yan in the north, won every battle, conquered every attack, captured countless cities and towns, and my achievements cannot compare with him."
"Then compared with your prestige and Wu Chengjun, who has higher prestige?"
"Wu Chengjun is a well-known benevolent and righteous gentleman in the world. He writes books and educates people, and he is generous and loving. Even wise men like Xunzi praise his benevolence and righteousness and feel inferior. Wise men like Gongsun and Sunzi are willing to learn from his teachings. My prestige is
Not as good as his."
"Do you really think that your merits are not as good as that of Wu Anjun, and your prestige is not as good as that of Wu Chengjun?"
"Is such that."
"Comparing the Marquis Ying who was in charge of Qin's politics at the beginning and the Prime Minister today, who has more power?"
"The power of the Yinghou is not as great as that of the prime minister."
"Are you sure that the power of Marquis Ying is not as powerful as that of the Prime Minister?"
"Is such that."
Gan Luo then said solemnly: "In the past, Lord Wu An made countless contributions, but he did not dare to disobey the orders of Marquis Ying. Marquis Ying wanted to attack other countries, and Lord Wu An dragged his illness to command the army for him. Now Lord Wu Cheng has great prestige.
Gao, but he did not dare to be rude to the Prime Minister and showed great respect. Now your credit is not as good as that of Wu Anjun, and your prestige is not as good as that of Wu Chengjun. However, the Prime Minister asked you to rush to Yan State but you refused. I don’t know what you are doing.
What are you relying on!!"
Zhang Tang was stunned for a long time, and then said helplessly: "Okay, I will follow your child's advice and go to Yan Kingdom."
Gan Luo laughed, nodded, and said: "Please don't worry, I will help you arrange these things, and you will not be harmed in any way." Zhang Tang looked at the child in front of him and was confused for a moment.
He couldn't tell whether it was his own idea or what Lu Buwei taught him, but he still stood up and thanked Gan Luo very respectfully. Gan Luo hurriedly returned the greeting and agreed with Zhang Tang on a travel date. Gan Luo then returned to the prime minister's residence.
.
"What?? Zhang Tang agreed to go to Yan Kingdom??" Lu Buwei's eyes widened. He had been trying to persuade Zhang Tang for so long. What on earth did this kid say to Zhang Tang to convince Zhang Tang so quickly?
Where is Tang? When Gan Luo told Lu Buwei about his conversation with Zhang Tang, Lu Buwei laughed. It turned out that he was just trying to intimidate him. No wonder, Zhang Tang was afraid of Zhao people, and he must be afraid of himself. Gan Luo also
By threatening him like that, he probably thought it was his ultimatum.
Lu Buwei shook his head, but he also valued this Gan Luo more and more. He was only twelve years old, and it was really amazing that he could say such words and have such ability. When he grows up,
He must be the future prime minister. Lu Buwei looked at him with a smile, and then said: "I have written down your merits. Please go back first. I am going to report to the king."
Gan Luo shook his head and said seriously: "Actually, what Zhang Tang thought cannot be said to be wrong. The State of Zhao is between the State of Qin and the State of Yan... The State of Qin should have made friends with the State of Yan to attack Zhao State together.
But the State of Yan was really unbearable. He was defeated by the State of Zhao several times. I think after the defeat, the King of Yan put all the blame on Ju Xin. He was a mediocre king with no talents. Such a country really has no hope for the State of Qin.
What help.”
"He can't even involve the State of Zhao anymore. Instead of continuing to have good relations with the State of Yan, it is better to find a way to get enough benefits for the State of Qin." Gan Luo said seriously, and then asked: "What do you think?
?" Lu Buwei squinted his eyes. What Gan Luo said made sense. Forming an alliance with the Yan State seemed to be of no benefit to the Qin State. Moreover, after experiencing this defeat, the Yan State became even weaker and even involved the Zhao State.
I'm afraid even this can't be done. Zhang Tang just becomes the Prime Minister of the Yan State. What benefits will it bring to the Qin State?
Lu Buwei thought for a moment and then asked: "Then what do you think we should do?"
Gan Luo said seriously: "Please prepare five carriages for me and let me go as an envoy to the State of Zhao. I have a way to change this and gain enough benefits for the State of Qin."
Lu Buwei looked at the serious child in front of him and decided to believe him, so Lu Buwei came to pay homage to King Qin. After Lu Buwei paid homage to King Qin, he said seriously: "In the past, Gan Mao had a grandson named Gan Luo. He was very old.
He is small, but he comes from a famous family, so many people know him. Recently, Zhang Tang was unwilling to go to Yan State because of his illness. It was Gan Luo who persuaded him and made him agree to go to Yan State."
When King Qin heard this, he was very surprised and asked Lu Buwei to continue.
"Now Gan Luo is willing to go to Zhao State first to clear the obstacles for Zhang Tang. Please agree to send him there." Ying Zheng said with a smile: "I don't know that there is such a talent in Qin. Please bring him to see me.
Yeah." Gan Luo had actually been waiting outside the palace for a long time. Lu Buwei quickly sent someone to take him back. When Gan Luo appeared in front of Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng also widened his eyes. Lu Buwei didn't say anything about him.
The specific age is just that he is young.
Ying Zheng thought he was about 20 years old, but now it seems that he is about the same age as Zhao Kang, and he is still just a child. This is not young, this is young!
Ying Zheng looked at the child in front of him and asked curiously: "How old are you?" Gan Luo replied seriously: "I am twelve years old." Ying Zheng couldn't help laughing and looked aside.
Lu Buwei, the person who persuaded Zhang Tang was a twelve-year-old child? Lu Buwei was a little calm and did not explain anything. Ying Zheng put away his contempt and asked seriously: "Do you want to go on a mission?"
Zhao Guo?"
Gan Luo nodded and just said: "Yes, Yan State has always been at war with Zhao State in these years. Although Zhao State can defeat Yan State, it cannot occupy Yan State's land because of Qin State. They must be the same
I am very anxious, and our protection of Yan State will not benefit Qin State except weakening Zhao State's strength... Therefore, I want to send Zhao State as an envoy to take advantage of the war between Zhao State and Yan State to come to Qin State.
The country will gain benefits.”
"Oh? What benefits can Qin gain from the war between Zhao and Yan?"
"I can ask Zhao and Yan to dedicate their land and cities to Qin." Gan Luo vowed.
Ying Zheng laughed, and then said angrily with a straight face: "What if you can't complete the mission?" Gan Luo also replied seriously: "Then I am willing to die in Zhao State. If you fail to complete the mission, I will never do it."
Come back alive." Ying Zheng couldn't help but admired: "Great, you have such courage at such an age... Prime Minister, I want to send Gan Luo as an envoy to Zhao..."
Lu Buwei naturally had no objections. King Qin added: "Children as young as twelve can serve as envoys to other countries. It seems that age does not mean anything. Many people in the court feel that I am too young to govern personally.
...They should really come and see Gan Luo." Gan Luo suddenly felt something was wrong, as he seemed to have unintentionally become a weapon in the hands of King Qin, but there was nothing that could be done about it.
Sure enough, Lu Buwei frowned and then said: "You are right."
Ying Zheng looked at Gan Luo thoughtfully and said with a smile: "Please complete your mission, so that the ministers can see that a young person can achieve great things!" Gan Luo said helplessly.
The King of Qin rewarded him with many things, and then asked Lu Buwei to send him to Zhao. Lu Buwei took Gan Luo out of the palace. On the way, Lu Buwei didn't say a word, but frowned. Gan Luo knew in his heart that he was
What are you thinking about, but you dare not say anything more.
Lu Buwei was silent for a long time. When Gan Luo was about to go back to prepare, he smiled and said: "Don't think too much, just complete the king's instructions well, that's enough."
Gan Luo's grandfather, Gan Mao, was a famous general in the Qin State and also served as prime minister. He studied Shiju and hundreds of schools of thought, and was introduced to King Qin Huiwen by Zhang Yi and Qi Liji. In the third year of King Nan's reign, he assisted Zuo
Wei Zhang, the concubine chief, briefly determined the territory of Hanzhong. Later, he was slandered by Xiang Shou and Gongsun Shi. When he attacked Puban of Wei State, he defected to Qi State and served as Qi State. In the tenth year of King Nan, he went to Chu State as an envoy to Qi State. King Qin wanted Chu State to send
He returned to Ganmao, but was rejected by Chu, and died in Wei.
Gan Luo's father, Gan Mao's son, was called Shi. Gan Shi first served as an official in Wei. Later, because of a disagreement with Duan Qianzi, he left Wei angrily and returned to Qin to serve as an official. Lu Buwei appreciated him very much.
He. When Gan Luo returned home and told his father that he was going to Zhao as an envoy, Gan Shi laughed and thought Gan Luo was joking with him. But when Lu Buwei sent warriors to help Gan Luo prepare things
At that time, Gan Shi was confused.
He went to Lu Buwei and asked what was going on. When Lu Buwei praised his son and said that the king was going to send his son to Zhao, Gan Shi was also speechless. He didn't know that he was
Should you be happy for your son, or should you go to the king and ask him not to send his son to Zhao. His son is only twelve years old. How can there be a twelve-year-old messenger in the world???

Lu Buwei naturally persuaded him for a long time and reassured him that King Zhao would never hurt a child. His son was safe. Besides, Gan Luo was smart and he would never cause any trouble. Gan Luo returned home.
, Gan Luo also persuaded him and gave many examples. Gan Shi had no choice but to acquiesce to the matter. Soon, Gan Luo, surrounded by many warriors, set off towards the Kingdom of Zhao.
His friends, Zhao Kang and Cheng Yu also came to see him off. Seeing Gan Luo riding a carriage and swaying away from Xianyang, Zhao Kang just smiled and waved, and Cheng Yu felt a little touched in his heart.
The eldest brother is young and ambitious, and everyone says he has the air of a wise king. Although Kang is naughty, he is deeply loved by everyone, and he is brave. Everyone says he will be an excellent general in the future. Even Gan Luo, at such a young age
Young people can come and serve as envoys to the State of Zhao.
What about myself? I am useless... Cheng Yu lowered his head and looked lonely, but Kang did not notice this at all.
King Zhao was also surprised to learn that Qin State sent an envoy to Zhao State. After all, the relationship between the two parties was very bad. Since Ma Fujun went to Qin State, the relationship between the two parties has deteriorated to the maximum point, and there is no way to improve it.
That kind of situation, the State of Zhao was at war with the State of Yan, and the State of Qin supported the State of Yan. King Zhao did not want to see the envoy of the State of Qin, but his favorite minister Jianxin Jun told him:
"The reason why Zhao State cannot capture Yan State's cities now is because Qin State is supporting Yan State. If we can improve the relationship with Qin State and prevent Qin State from supporting Yan State, wouldn't this be a big deal for Zhao State?
Is that a good thing?" King Zhao thought for a long time before he decided to meet the envoy of Qin in person. So King Zhao personally went to the outskirts of Handan to greet Gan Luo. When he saw that the envoy was a child, he
King Zhao was also shocked.
The Qin State was so short of people that it actually sent a child as an envoy. However, King Zhao immediately discovered that this child acted very politely. He knew many etiquette and rituals that envoys needed to know.
First he paid a visit to King Zhao, and then talked about the friendly relations between Zhao and Qin in the past, and how King Qin was eager to make friends with King Zhao. King Zhao immediately did not dare to treat this envoy as a child anymore.
Treated.
Gan Luo followed King Zhao as if he were an adult, with a calm face, chatting and laughing. When he was asked by the officials, he was also clear-cut and answered fluently. This shocked King Zhao very much. When they returned to the palace
When he arrived, Gan Luo asked: "Has your Majesty heard about Prince Dan of Yan coming to Qin as a hostage?"
King Zhao nodded and replied: "I have heard something."
Gan Luo then asked: "Then have you heard that Zhang Tang is going to Yan State to serve as prime minister?"
"I've heard about it too."
Gan Luo analyzed: "The coming of Prince Dan of Yan to Qin shows that Yan dare not betray Qin. Zhang Tang's appointment as prime minister of Yan shows that Qin will not bully Yan. Yan and Qin do not bully each other, there is nothing else
The reason is that he wants to attack Zhao State to expand his territory in the Hejian area." King Zhao frowned suddenly, and Gan Luo continued: "You don't know yet, the king wants to make the prime minister a marquis, and plans to make Hejian his
The food town...The prime minister made friends with the Yan State just to expand his food town!"
King Zhao suddenly understood, and then asked: "Then why are you looking for me?"
Gan Luo shook his head and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister made friends with the Yan State just for the food towns in the river. Now the Zhao State has defeated the Yan State but cannot get any benefits. This is because the Prime Minister and the Yan State
The reason for the friendship between the Yan State and the State of Yan is that it is better for your Majesty to first send five cities to expand the territory of the Qin State in Hejian. I ask the Prime Minister to send back Prince Dan of Yan, and the State of Qin will help the powerful State of Zhao to attack the weak State of Yan."
"Think about it, if you can give up the food in Hejian, then you can get more cities from Yan State, and you can also make friends with Qin State. Isn't this a good thing? And with Qin State's help,
You will conquer Yan State more quickly...if you offer five cities now, you can get fifty cities in Yan State in the future!"
King Zhao was immediately tempted. He smiled and said, "Okay!"
