In the end, none of the four Wang Dan, Wang Qinruo, Wang Zeng, and Shi Xizai could convince the other, and then they ended up parting ways, each going to his favorite princes, and using the final results to prove the views of both parties.
Fan Ju and Wang Qinruo, each accompanied by two guards, entered together while talking and laughing. If someone who didn't know the situation saw it, they would think that these two are a family!
However, if you were to get closer and hear the hidden secrets of the conversation between the two people, you would probably not think so. The two people seemed to be smiling at each other, but the power of the scholar's mouth and the words and swords were sometimes more powerful than the real sword!
If it is a normal mission, the guards responsible for protecting the envoy are generally not allowed to enter with the envoy.
However, now Gongsun Shu is no longer a prince, he is just a mountain king. There are not so many rules here, and the most he can do is collect all their weapons!
"Fan Ju has met Mr. Zhao!" Fan Ju bowed slightly casually. At the same time, he and Wang Qinruo began to get closer without leaving any trace. Although the verbal exchange between the two parties when they came in was not long, Fan Ju did not necessarily take advantage.
Both parties were former prime ministers, but they were in different dynasties. Moreover, one is famous and the other is traitorous.
But Fan Ju is certainly powerful, and Wang Qinruo is far inferior to Fan Ju in terms of ability, but Wang Qinruo puts most of his skills in words.
Gongsun Shu looked at Fan Ju's casual feeling and obviously didn't take him seriously. A trace of anger flashed through him, but this was not the time for an attack.
"Wang Qinruo has met Mr. Zhao!" Wang Qinruo also told Gongsun Shu seriously. The moment his eyes glanced at Fan Ju, a trace of fear fleetingly disappeared.
When Yang Jian was still alive, he divided the world among the princes, and Gongsun Zan was named Zhao Gong. Once Gongsun Zan died, Gongsun Shu inherited this position after his victory in seizing power. However, Gongsun Shu now no longer has any qualifications.
However, both of them tacitly addressed Gongsun Shu as Duke Zhao, which at least on the surface gave Gongsun Shu enough face.
"I wonder why the two gentlemen are here?" Gongsun Shu looked at both parties in the hall and waved his hand in greeting.
"My lord wants to attack Liu Bang, the old man, and hereby invites Duke Zhao to come and help. After the event is completed, he will not forget Duke Zhao's kindness!" Fan Ju replied nonchalantly.
In the words, they just asked Gongsun Shu to help them jointly attack Liu Bang, but did not explain at all what real benefits they would pay. If Gongsun Shu could be persuaded by such a casual sentence, then there would be something wrong!
Considering the relationship between Qin Zheng, Liu Bang, and Gongsun Shu, as long as Guan Sunshu was not a fool, he would never help Qin Zheng deal with Liu Bang.
Therefore, neither Qin Zheng, nor Fan Ju, nor anyone else in Qin Zheng's forces took this mission seriously at all, and they were not prepared to rely on this simple mission at all. As an envoy, they persuaded Gongsun Shu to help them.
For the power of Gongsun Shu, Fan Ju, Lu Buwei and others worked together to plan, but prepared one plan after another. Even if the first step fails, they still have other backup plans.
And for this first step, they also put a lot of thought into it. Otherwise, how could Fan Ju arrive at the same time as Wang Qinruo? How could there be such a coincidence in this world! The reason why both parties happened to arrive at the same time was because Fan Ju did it deliberately.
"Mr. Zhao, my lord is willing to fight against the Qin government with Gong Zhao. Afterwards, I am willing to give Gong Zhao three thousand war horses. All the lands attacked by both sides will be owned by Gong Zhao!" Wang Qinruo said immediately.
Although Fan Ju just said it very casually, it stands to reason that it is impossible for Gongsun Shu to agree to Fan Ju. But Wang Qinruo's first reaction was not surprise, but suspicion.
Although the contact time between the two parties was short, it did not affect Wang Qinruo's general judgment that the other party was definitely not such an incompetent person. There must be a reason behind such casual remarks.
"Compared to King Qin, King Yan is more sincere!" Gongsun Shu pinched his beard and said.
Liu Bang, although he still resorts to this kind of superficial means, he is at least more sincere than Qin Zheng.
Although Liu Bang's conditions seemed to be very beneficial to Gongsun Shu, this was not the case. Even if he and Liu Bang join forces, they may not be Qin Zheng's opponent. It would be good to be able to withstand it, let alone fight back to occupy the territory.
Therefore, although the conditions promised by Liu Bang were generous, in fact, most of them were empty talk, and only the three thousand horses were the real benefits.
Of course, for Gongsun Shu now, these three thousand horses are already a huge windfall.
Moreover, deep down in his heart, although Gongsun Shu did not want to provoke Qin Zheng, who was powerful and had fierce soldiers, he did not want to see Qin Zheng annex Liu Bang.
Although he is trying to survive in the cracks now, if he waits until Qin Zheng annexes Liu Bang and unifies Youzhou, he will not even have a chance to survive in the cracks.
How can you allow others to sleep soundly on the couch? When the time comes, Qin Zheng will definitely take further steps to deal with him.
"Mr. Zhao, in my opinion, we are not as good as..." Looking at Fan Ju next to him, Wang Qinruo showed a dangerous look.
If Gongsun Shu is really willing to deal with Fan Ju here, he will not only cut off Qin Zheng's arm in advance, but also cut off Gongsun Shu's other escape routes, so that Gongsun Shu can only unite with them and work together peacefully. Fight against Qin Zheng.
Although the two countries are at war, the envoys will not be killed. However, this is not a war between two countries. Gongsun Shu is just a bandit mountain king now.
"Mr. Fan, I don't know what I think of Mr. Wang's suggestion!" Gongsun Shu said to Fan Ju with a half-smile.
Of course, Gongsun Shu never thought of agreeing to kill Fan Ju at all. After killing Fan Ju, only Liu Bang would benefit, not him, but all his escape routes would be blocked.
After all, Gongsun Shu is also a person who can control the wind and rain in troubled times. It is impossible for him to not understand such a small stake.
Therefore, although Wang Qinruo has the intention to kill Fan Ju, I am sorry, but I, Gongsun Shuke, have never wanted to cooperate with you!
