"Your Majesty, it's not good, Zhao Jun...Zhao Jun is coming!" At this time, a guard rushed in from outside in a panic.
"How is that possible? Didn't King Zhao say that he would give me Qin three days?" Zhong was shocked.
"King Zhao, you are such a villain!" Qin Wangzhu clenched his fists with both hands and walked outside with a livid face, "Immediately summon the people of the city to defend the city."
"It shouldn't be." Lu Buwei was a little confused. Although King Zhao was not a good person, under normal circumstances, he would not break his promise. Moreover, destroying Qin at this time is not the best choice for Zhao.
Soon, Qin Wangzhu led a group of civil and military personnel to the top of the city.
"Where is the general of the Kingdom of Zhao?" Wang Jian walked to the front and asked loudly.
"I am the commander-in-chief of the Zhao army." Li Mu clapped his horse and stepped forward.
"King Zhao said he would give Qin three days, why did he suddenly go back on his word?" Wang Jian said.
"Hahaha, it's crowded outside Xianyang City. I just chose to station troops outside Jingyang City. Please don't be afraid, King Qin. I will never attack the city within three days." Li Mu laughed, turned and left.
Qin Wangzhu's eyes were sinister, and he slapped the female wall with his palms, wishing to kill all the Zhao troops outside the city.
The mighty Qin Kingdom, when has it ever been so humiliated?
"King Zhao is trying to force Qin to agree to those conditions." Fan Ju said in a deep voice.
"I will never agree to Zhao Guo's conditions, not even one! I don't believe it, Zhao Kuo dares to destroy our Qin State." Qin Wangzhu said firmly.
"Your Majesty, you must not act on your own initiative. This is what King Yan thought before. Where is the Kingdom of Yan now?" Lu Buwei said quickly.
Hearing this, Qin Wangzhu lost his momentum. After a while, he finally spoke: "If I cede land to South Korea and Wei, sir, do you think South Korea and Wei will side with us, Qin?"
"Your Majesty, King Zhao is now the overlord of the world with the momentum of great victory. It is impossible for South Korea and Wei to betray Zhao at this time. To say the least, even if South Korea and Wei have this intention, they cannot do it. Arrived. After more than a year of war, the two countries of Korea and Wei were empty in the country. At this time, they were at war with the Chu State. They could not find the strength to compete with the Zhao State." Lu Buwei said.
The two countries of Korea and Wei were empty, and Qin had more than half of the credit.
Of course, Qin had no choice. South Korea and Wei were blocked to the east of Qin. If Qin wanted to go east, it had to attack Han and Wei.
"Could it be that... we can only agree to those conditions of Zhao State?" Qin Wangzhu gritted his teeth, feeling extremely humiliated.
When the Qin State was defeated by Tian Wen and Kuang Zhang, they only returned a few cities to Hangu Pass. Never had they signed such a treaty that was so humiliating and humiliating to the country.
"I think that as long as we can get Zhao to withdraw, it is worth paying some price. And... although King Zhao has made those conditions, it is not impossible to negotiate." Lu Buwei said.
"Sir, are you willing to send Zhao Jun as an envoy?" Qin Wangzhu said.
"I am willing to go." Lu Buwei leaned over and said.
When Lu Buwei rushed to Xianyang, Zhao Kuo was resettling the victims. Although these victims were Qin people before, they will be Zhao people in the future. If you want to integrate them into Zhao State and make the world truly unified, you must not treat them differently. .
Historically, although Qin Shihuang completed political unification, the real unification of the world was completed in the Han Dynasty.
After receiving the report, Zhao Kuo handed the victims to Liu Ping and took Ben and Gai Nie back to the camp. When he saw Lu Buwei, Zhao Kuo greeted him with a smile: "Mr. Buwei, haha, I didn't expect Mr. Buwei. I still returned to Qin."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very kind to the foreign ministers, and the foreign ministers must not let down His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Lu Buwei leaned over and saluted. When he saw the mud on Zhao Kuo's body, his eyes moved and he asked, "The king was just..."
"Oh, I am resettling the victims. Although I can use any means on the battlefield, they are suffering because of me, and I cannot ignore them. Besides, they will be Zhao people from now on. As the king of Zhao country, I have the responsibility and obligation to help everyone. Zhao people." Zhao Kuo said with a smile. .
Lu Buwei's heart sank. The two sides hadn't negotiated yet. Zhao Kuo mistook the Xianyang people for Zhao people. It seemed... this mission was going to be much more difficult.
increased.
"By the way, Mr. Lu's visit this time...is it because King Qin agreed to my conditions?" Zhao Kuo said.
"To the King of Zhao, our Qin State is willing to pay a certain price to let Zhao State retreat, but the conditions should be discussed again. Our Qin State was once a great power in the world anyway, and the Qin family and the Zhao family are from the same lineage of Ying. In terms of We are still a family together. If the King of Qin issues an edict against himself, the Zhao family will not look good," Lu Buwei said.
"When the Qin State slaughtered my Zhao family's people, did they ever think that they were the same family as the Zhao family hundreds of years ago?" Zhao Kuo said coldly.
"King Zhao Mingjian, the massacre of the people in the Zhao country was the plan of Prime Minister Fan Ju. The king was still the prince at the time and did not know about it. Otherwise, with the kindness of the king, he would have stopped it." Lu Buwei said.
"In this case, the sinner's edict will be waived, and the King of Qin does not need to go to our Zhao Kingdom to defeat the deceased. Your Qin Kingdom only needs to hand over Fan Ju's head." Zhao Kuo tapped his fingers lightly on the chair and said lightly. .
When Lu Buwei heard the first half of the words, he felt a little relieved. When he heard the second half, his expression suddenly changed.
If Qin kills Fan Ju and gives it to Zhao, who will dare to plan for Qin in the future?
"What? Qin can't even satisfy this small request?" Zhao Kuo asked in a deep voice.
Lu Buwei wiped the sweat from his forehead. After so many missions, this was the first time he was so panicked. If he had known better, he would not have mentioned this matter and let King Qin issue an imperial edict!
"Your Majesty, please don't embarrass the foreign minister. This kind of condition is not something that the foreign minister can agree to." Lu Buwei said bitterly.
"It's better for the Qin envoy to go back and let the King of Qin come to talk to me in person." Zhao Kuo said.
"..." Lu Buwei didn't say anything. When Qin Wangzhu came to Zhao Jun's camp, wouldn't it be like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth?
"What? Does the Qin envoy think that I will be as shameless as Qin Wangji?" Zhao Kuo asked.
"It's not...it's..." Lu Buwei quickly shut his mouth. There was something wrong with Zhao Kuo's question no matter how he answered it.
"The foreign minister thinks that this one should be put aside for the time being. Let's discuss other conditions first. What does King Zhao think?" After a while, Lu Buwei calmed down before speaking again.
"Okay." Zhao Kuo nodded.
"The first condition is that Qin State can cede all the east of Jingshui River to Zhao State, but Zhao State must return Longxi County and Xianyang to Qin State." Lu Buwei said.
"East of Jingshui, I want Longxi County, Zhangye County, and Xianyang. If Qin doesn't agree, I will send troops to defeat them." Zhao Kuo said firmly.
Across Hangu Pass and Wuguan, Guanzhong was a smooth battle for the Zhao cavalry, and it was only a matter of time before the Zhao cavalry defeated them.
"Xianyang is the capital of our Qin State." Lu Buwei said solemnly.
"From now on, it belongs to my country, Zhao." Zhao Kuo said, "I can make a concession. The Qin State can cede the twenty-three cities around Xianyang and the eleven cities east of Xianyang."
"Thank you, King Zhao." Lu Buwei took a deep breath, "I, the Qin State, can agree to the second condition, but for the last condition, I, the Qin State, cannot come up with five million stones of grain and 50,000 pieces of Shu brocade."
"Qin can pay it off in five years, with one million stones of grain and ten thousand pieces of Shu brocade every year. As for the interest, I will waive it for Qin." Zhao Kuo waved his hand.
What he wants is that Qin will not be able to be an enemy of Zhao for a period of time in the future, but he does not want Qin people to starve to death.
"The foreign minister will go back and report to the king." Lu Buwei leaned over and said, turned and left the camp.
By the time Lu Buwei returned to Jingyang, it was already evening, but none of the Qin kings and ministers had any rest, they were all sitting in the palace waiting for him.
"Please have a private conversation with the king." Lu Buwei looked around and finally leaned forward and said. Zhao Kuo's conditions cannot be announced, otherwise it will cause panic.
"Your Majesty, please leave." Before Qin Wangzhu could speak, all the civil and military personnel retreated wisely.
"Your Majesty, the King of Zhao has canceled the conditions for the King to issue an edict of sin and go to the Kingdom of Zhao to worship the Zhao people." Lu Buwei leaned over and said.
Qin Wangzhu was delighted when he heard Lu Buwei continue: "But... King Zhao asked me, Qin
The state handed over the head of the prime minister to the state of Zhao. "
"The King of Zhao deceived people too much and didn't take me seriously at all. If I agree, how will Qin recruit talented people from all over the world in the future?" Qin Wangzhu said through gritted teeth.
Lu Buwei told Qin Wangzhu the remaining conditions, then bowed and resigned. .qgν.
The rest of the matter was beyond his control, and he didn't want to get involved.
"Go and invite the prince and the prime minister." After a while, Qin Wangzhu said.
After Zi Chu and Fan Ju arrived, Qin Wangzhu explained Zhao Kuo's conditions and then asked, "What do you think?"
Fan Ju's heart suddenly became cold, and he felt the chill in Qin Wangzhu's words.
"I am willing to sacrifice my life for Qin." Fan Ju quickly knelt on the ground.
"Quickly invite the Prime Minister. Even if I fight with Zhao Guo, I will never sacrifice the Prime Minister." Qin Wangzhu quickly helped Fan Ju and said kindly.
"I am guilty." Fan Ju lowered his head and said.
"Now that things have come to a point, I can only punish myself and go to the Kingdom of Zhao to worship those untouchables. What has happened has already happened, and we have to bear the consequences. We cannot escape." Qin Wangzhu sighed, got up and walked outside. go.
Although it was the scorching heat, Fan Ju felt as if he had fallen into the cold winter when he heard Qin Wangzhu's words. Who has to bear the consequences, and who can't escape...
Fan Ju returned home in a panic, immediately called his two sons, and said quickly: "Go back and pack your things immediately, and we will leave Jingyang immediately."
He has no intention of dedicating himself to the Qin State. The only person the Qin State can make him devote his whole heart to is Qin Wangji. As for the others, they are not worthy. .bμν.
When the two sons heard this, they immediately realized that something serious had happened and turned around and left without asking.
They had just escaped to Jingyang a few days ago and had very few things, so they packed them up quickly.
But it's too late.
A Qin army surrounded the house...
The next day, news came from Jingyang that Prime Minister Fan Ju had committed suicide!
"This is Fan Ju's head. Please ask King Zhao to see it." Lu Buwei handed the wooden box to Ben. After checking it, Ben nodded to Zhao Kuo.
"Qin has done well. I have seen Qin's sincerity." Zhao Kuo laughed heartily.
"We, the State of Qin, have agreed to all the conditions of the State of Zhao. King Zhao can withdraw his troops." Although the State of Qin's goal of letting the State of Zhao withdraw its troops was achieved, there was no smile on Lu Buwei's face.
"Wait a minute. We have finished negotiating the conditions for Zhao to withdraw. What about the conditions for Qi to withdraw?" Zhao Kuo glanced at Wang Sunjia next to him.
Wang Sunjia also looked at Zhao Kuo in surprise. He didn't expect that there was anything about Qi State involved, and Zhao Kuo didn't tell him about it before!
"You..." Lu Buwei suddenly stood up. Seeing Zhao Kuo's playful smile, he had to sit back, faced Wang Sunjia, clasped his fists and said, "May I ask what the conditions are for Qi to withdraw its troops?"
Wang Sunjia did not speak, but looked at Zhao Kuo.
"The same trade conditions as our Zhao State, exempt from all tariffs. In addition, Qin State will compensate Qin State for five million shi of grain and 50,000 pieces of Shu brocade. It will be paid back in five years." Zhao Kuo said.
"...Okay." Lu Buwei looked ferocious, smashed his teeth and swallowed, "If there are no other matters, the foreign minister will resign."
"Wait a minute." Zhao Kuo said again.
"What else does King Zhao have to do?" Lu Buwei stared at Zhao Kuo with his red eyes.
Zhao Kuo clapped his hands, and soon, more than thirty men and women were brought into the camp. They were the princes, princesses, princes, and grandsons of Qin who were captured by Zhao, as well as Qin Wangzhu's young wife and Zi Chu's crown prince.
"Young Master, save me." Seeing Lu Buwei, the princes, princes and grandsons shouted one after another.
Zhao Guo has not treated them well in the past few days. He not only gives them rough meals, but also makes them work.
"Each person has 100,000 shi of grain, a total of thirty-three people. I will give Qin a discount of 2 million shi of grain." Zhao Kuo said with a smile.
At this moment, the smile on Zhao Kuo's face was more terrifying than the devil in Lu Buwei's eyes.
"Three young masters, seven princes and grandsons, and these few, a total of fifteen people, one hundred and fifty
Thousands of stones of food. As for the others, let King Zhao handle them. "Lu Buwei quickly named a few people.
Including all the princes, princes and grandchildren, the princes and concubines of Zi Chu, and the concubines who gave birth to sons for the King of Qin or the prince. As for the princesses and other concubines who did not give birth to sons for the King of Qin or the prince, they were all abandoned by Lu Buwei.
These days, mothers are more valuable than their sons, and concubines without sons have no value.
The same goes for the father-in-law and the daughter-in-law. To the Qin State, they are just a tool for marriage.
Now Qin is worried about internal and external troubles and does not have so much food, so it can only throw away the worthless ones.
"Please Lu Gong, please take us away." The lords and concubines knelt down and begged Lu Buwei.
No matter how those young ladies begged, Lu Buwei's expression did not change at all.
"Foreign ministers, please leave." Lu Buwei said with his fists clasped, and quickly walked outside.
"Please, Your Majesty, let us go..." Seeing that Lu Buwei had left, the ladies and concubines knelt down and begged Zhao Guo again.
"Your Majesty, why don't you put them all back? Lu Buwei just abandoned them. After they go back, they will definitely say bad things about Lu Buwei..." Li Si walked to Zhao Kuo and whispered.
Zhao Kuo's eyes lit up, Fan Ju was dead, and the Qin State's Prime Minister would soon become Lu Buwei. Qin Wangzhu and Prince Chu both trusted Lu Buwei very much. If these women were used to make the Qin State become discordant, it would be harmful to Zhao State. Great benefit.
No amount of trust can compare to pillow sex.
