"I followed your arrangement and told Qin's general about your strategy, but until now, your strategy has not worked. What's the reason?" Ying Yiren looked at the person sitting on his knees. Lu Buwei in front of him asked doubtfully. Lu Buwei heard the meaning of his question and did not take it seriously. He smiled and said: "I asked Xu Li to recommend Zhao Kuo to King Zhao just to let King Zhao remember that there is Zhao Kuo." Such a young man."
"The current war is not so dangerous that it would scare King Zhao. If King Zhao was as desperate as a drowning man, wouldn't he grasp Zhao Kuo's life-saving straw?" Lu Buwei asked.
Ying Yiren nodded. He felt that what Lu Buwei said was very reasonable. He asked again: "Then what should I do next?"
Lu Buwei smiled and said: "Zhao Kuo's matter is just a trivial matter that is not worthy of attention to the young master. The reason why I asked you to propose this matter is to remind the people of Qin that there is such a young master like you. The King of Qin is old, and your father An Guojun has been made the crown prince. Now An Guojun is interested in your brother Zixi, and Zixi has a mother to take care of him in the harem, and you are in the middle, and your mother is not favored. After the death of King Qin, An Guo If you succeed to the throne, you should not expect to compete with your eldest brother and other brothers who will be with King Qin sooner or later for the position of prince."
"You yourself are in the unpredictable state of Zhao. If the Qin people defeat the state of Zhao and surround Handan, will the King of Zhao spare your life?"
Ying Yiren was shocked and asked again: "That's it, what should I do?"
"If you can listen to me, sir, then please stay in Handan, wear Chu clothes, and make more friends."
"why?"
"I heard privately that Lord An Guo dotes on Mrs. Huayang very much. Mrs. Huayang has no children, but she can participate in the selection of the prince, so we can only start with her. You are very poor and embarrassed, and you live here as a guest, and you have nothing to offer. To my elders and to make friends with guests, although I, Lu Buwei, am not rich, I am willing to spend thousands of gold to go west to Qin for you to lobby, serve Lord An and Mrs. Huayang, and ask them to make you the crown prince."
Upon hearing this, Ying Yi hurriedly bowed to Lu Buwei and said respectfully: "If your plan is realized, I am willing to share the land of Qin with you."
Lu Buwei didn't say anything else. He stood up and said goodbye to Ying Yiren. The stranger sent him to the door. Just then he took his hand and warned him repeatedly: "I care more about your safety than the success of the matter. I hope you If you can come back safely, don't take any risks because of this incident." Even though he knew in his heart that Ying Yiren was just a means to win over him, Lu Buwei was still a little moved in his heart.
Sure enough, he had not chosen the wrong person. The foreigner was not afraid of danger and was willing to stay alone in Handan. He did not worry about his own safety, but he had to warn himself. Lu Buwei's face gradually became solemn, and he said solemnly: "I will definitely go there this time. If I can't accomplish this for you, I'm willing to die." Ying Yiren stood at the door and watched Lu Buwei's carriage slowly leave. Ying Yiren stood at the door for a long time before entering the courtyard.
After calling a retainer, Ying Yiren ordered: "Please buy me a set of Chu clothes." The retainer followed the order and left. As for why he wore Chu clothes, Mrs. Huayang was from the Chu state. They all wore Chu clothes and often expressed their longing for Chu. Standing in the courtyard, Ying Yiren muttered helplessly: "I still have to learn the "birdsong" of Chu. It's really troublesome... ."
At this moment, Xu Li also met King Zhao again.
King Zhao sat in the upper position, with two of his ministers sitting on his left. Xu Li sat on his right and solemnly said: "This is the story of Zeng's mother throwing away the tree. Please, your Majesty, can identify the rumors and believe in integrity."
General Po." King Zhao was silent for a long time. He raised his head, carefully looked at Xu Li in front of him, and said movedly: "I originally thought that Xu Li could fight, but I didn't expect that I underestimated Li.
ah."
Xu Li looked a little embarrassed, but he still remembered Zhao Kuo's instructions, so he didn't say anything more. He sighed and said, "I don't say this to take credit in front of your Majesty. I do it for General Lian Po."
"Come here." King Zhao laughed, and just said: "I know, please rest assured, I will not listen to rumors."
Xu Li then stood up, bowed to King Zhao, and carefully left the palace.
After he left, King Zhao looked at the two people on his left and asked: "This is definitely not something Xu Li could say. Who taught him this?" At this moment, there were two elders.
The person sitting on his right side, both of them were not too young. One of them was slender, with a cold face, sitting upright with his eyes half-squinted, while the other one was coughing constantly, which made King Zhao feel a little nervous.
Feeling distressed.
"Jun Duping? Don't you have anything to tell me?" King Zhao couldn't help but ask.
Du Pingjun called Tian Dan. He was originally from the Qi State. When the Qi State was almost destroyed, he saved the Qi State. It can even be said that he single-handedly founded the Qi State. However, because of this, he was also taken over by the Qi State.
The king was afraid and became more and more intolerable. King Zhao saw the opportunity and exchanged more than fifty cities for Tian Dan, using him to be the general of Zhao State and later the prime minister of Zhao State.
Since he was given to King Zhao by the King of Qi with fifty cities, Tian Dan has become more and more taciturn. This Qi man who was both civil and military and fought desperately to save the Qi people was sold for the price of fifty cities.
.No matter how much King Zhao respected him, Tian Dan still looked so cold. He was still alive, but the former savior of Qi who was good at conquering and fighting and defeated Le Yi seemed to be dead.
He had a very bad relationship with several generals of Zhao State.
Upon hearing King Zhao's inquiry, Tian Dan said: "I only have a friendly relationship with Xu Li when we meet on the road, and we don't know anything about him."
King Zhao sighed helplessly and said, "You can go back and rest." Tian Dan stood up, bowed to King Zhao, and left the palace. Only King Zhao and others were left in the palace.
A legendary figure of the Zhao Kingdom, the old man sitting in front of King Zhao coughed from time to time, with his hair and beard all white. This made King Zhao couldn't help but sigh at the power of time. King Zhao lowered his head respectfully, "Lin Gong,
I wonder if you have anything to tell me?"
Sitting in front of King Zhao was Lin Xiangru, the last prime minister of Zhao.
Lin Xiangru raised his head, and his pale face made King Zhao feel very distressed. He said: "Xu Li's suggestion was rejected by the Lord. He must have visited Zhao Kuo. This may be Zhao Kuo, or a retainer around him."
I told Xu Li, but Xu Li was not wrong, General Lian Po should not be replaced."
"Although Zhao Kuo is young, he has a great reputation." King Zhao said.
"If your Majesty appoints Zhao Kuo based solely on his reputation, it will be like trying to stick the tuning posts with glue before trying to play the harp. Zhao Kuo can only read the books left by his father and does not know how to be flexible.",
Lin Xiangru said.
"Then I use Duping Juntian Dan, what do you think?"
"General Tian Dan does not get along with many generals, not to mention that he cares about Qi. After coming to Zhao, his heart is filled with despair. He does not care about the survival of Zhao like General Lian Po. I think he is not suitable."
"Then I want to use Chang Guojun Le Yi, what do you think?"
"General Leyi has just surrendered, and the King of Yan hates him very much and wants to kill him. If the king wants to use General Leyi, I am afraid it will arouse the anger of the Yan people. It will be difficult for Zhao to fight against the Qin people alone. It is precisely
When Yan, Qi, Wei and other countries need help, your Majesty cannot use him as a general." Just after Lin Xiangru finished speaking, he coughed again and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth. King Zhao was shocked and hurriedly helped him personally.
He asked the warrior to take Lin Xiangru back to his mansion and repeatedly told him to take care of himself. King Zhao sat alone in the palace, looking lonely.
King Dan of Zhao succeeded to the throne at a young age. He always wanted to establish the hegemony of Zhao and make other countries surrender. Under the strong power of Zhao, in the first year of his reign, he united with Qi and defeated the Qin people.
Since then, he has been thinking about revenge against the Qin people. He tried his best to recruit talents. He felt that as long as Zhao had enough talents, the Qin people would not be Zhao's opponents. He used fifty
A city was exchanged for fields.
He saw the right opportunity and sent a letter home to ask Le Yi to surrender.
But why, things were not as expected, why couldn't the Zhao people defeat the Qin people?
Zhao Wangdan clenched his fists and his eyes were bloodshot.
