As soon as he finished speaking, King Zhao, who was still nodding his head erratically, suddenly seemed to have thought of something and suddenly looked at Lou Chang.
Lou Chang's heart tightened, of course not because of fear, but because of excitement! He knew that the big thing was basically done!
After calming down for a moment, Lou Chang continued to add jealousy: "What Prime Minister Qin is worried about is that when he is not in Qin, many generals of the Qin army will convince the King of Qin to send all the troops of the country to the land of Shangdang!"
"As you know, my king, the Qin army's troops stationed in Chu and Bashu alone are probably no less than one hundred thousand. If..." Lou Chang deliberately did not continue, leaving enough room for King Zhao's imagination.
Of course, King Zhao could not be deceived so easily. He immediately said in disbelief: "The King of Qin is coming to conquer the country, so he is not afraid..."
"Afraid!" Lou Chang took over King Zhao's words and said, "What Prime Minister Qin is afraid of is that Chu will take the opportunity to move and shake the country's foundation! That's why Prime Minister Qin hurriedly asked me to go to the palace to see my king overnight. Chen Ming What’s the stakes!”
"Chu?" King Zhao's eyes turned slightly, and he obviously thought of a not so good picture: Zhao army was on the front line against the main force of the Qin army, while Chu was reaping the benefits from behind.
Absolutely not!
King Zhao's face changed slightly, but how could a person who could be King Zhao be easily swayed by emotions? After calming down for a while, suddenly, an idea burst out of his mind, and King Zhao seemed to have thought of another possibility. !
"If the Chu State sends troops to attack the Qin State, we will drive the Qin State back to Hangu Pass!" King Zhao murmured, as if he was also considering the rationality of such an approach.
"My king, you must not do this!" Lou Chang hurriedly stopped him. Apparently, Dr. Lou Chang was caught off guard by King Zhao's reverse thinking. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He must really send an envoy to contact the Chu State. , if you can attack Qin, things will be really big! It's so big that no one can influence its situation, except the soldiers on the battlefield.
Lou Chang knew that he had spoken out his words and he must give King Zhao a reasonable explanation immediately, otherwise he would be suspected. Then his mind suddenly turned, and countless pictures flashed through Lou Chang's mind in an instant.
Finally, just before King Zhao frowned, Lou Chang found that flash of lightning.
"To my king: If this matter had happened before, the Chu State would definitely be willing, but now, the General, the Wei State..." Lou Chang said coyly and pretending to be cautious.
When King Zhao heard this, he was shocked, and he obviously immediately understood what Lou Chang meant.
During this battle, Zhao Kuo hid his own army and deceived Wei Jun, but made Wei Jun his scapegoat. In the end, almost all of Zhao Kuo's army was wiped out. This "bad" news may soon spread throughout the country, and when the Chu State knew about it, Can you still trust Zhao Guo?
Even under such circumstances, would Zhao still dare to form an alliance with Chu? Aren't you afraid that the Chu State will follow suit and do something to you? !
Trust! It's not easy to build, but it only takes a small thing to destroy it.
Thinking of this, King Zhao became more and more dissatisfied with Zhao Kuo.
Of course, Zhao Kuo's actions did damage Zhao's national credibility to a certain extent, but under what circumstances could he still care about this when the country was almost destroyed? !
What's more, what time is it now?
It’s the Warring States Period! This is no longer the Spring and Autumn Period where etiquette and justice come first and credibility is the most important thing! A country that values etiquette, justice and credibility has long been buried in the soil of the Spring and Autumn Period.
Among the seven heroes of the Warring States Period today, which one is the kind person? ! Which one has not deceived other countries, and which one has not been deceived by other countries?
Not to mention the distance, Qin gave you fifteen cities in Shanxi in exchange for fifteen cities in Zhao's Central Plains. You swallowed Qin's cities, but you didn't let go of the original cities!
Isn't this deception? Why aren't we talking about national credibility at this time? This is a typical example of sacrificing justice for small gains, and is much worse in nature than Zhao Kuo's deception in a desperate situation.
In fact, between countries, interests always come first, and intrigues are commonplace! You were fooled, I can only say you are stupid! It's nothing more than a game.
Just with Lou Chang's weird poke, King Zhao even
Knowing that countries only care about interests, they also have to consider whether the Chu State will make peace with Qin for the sake of interests and push their own Zhao State into danger.
Looking at King Zhao whose expression was constantly changing, Lou Chang decided to throw out his last resort.
"Report it to my king." Lou Chang said in a low voice: "According to the investigation of the ministers, the Qin State sent not only a group of envoys from the Prime Minister Fan Sui, but also a group of envoys. After they came out of Hangu, they He parted ways with the Prime Minister of Qin and was said to be heading to Daliang City in Wei State."
"Huh?" King Zhao was shocked again!
Going to Wei State? What to do? What else can you do! Convince King Wei to make an alliance.
Although it is said that Wei's losses were caused by Qin, it was actually Zhao Kuo who tricked him. If Qin really promised huge profits, such as transferring the Tao Yi promised to him to Wei, I'm afraid Wei would still return the favor. They will really raise an army, even if the Wei State does not have many troops now.
However, the land inside and outside the Wei State is fertile, but others may not be so fertile. There is so much food! This alone can bring great convenience to the Qin army and even greatly shorten the difficulty and time of assembly.
If the Qin State is really forced to become angry from shame, I am afraid that I will really be a loner! Although the Qin State is bound to pay a huge price, what about its own Zhao State? Not only was the Taoyi that was so easily available gone, but Shangdang and Shangdang's army would not even be able to be saved.
This is absolutely unacceptable to King Zhao.
"One sheep in hand is worse than a thousand sheep in sight." Taking a deep breath, King Zhao nodded and finally made up his mind, and said slowly: "Just as Lou Qing said, after meeting the Prime Minister of Qin tomorrow, the delivery will be done!"
"I am Wang Yingming!" Lou Chang immediately clasped his fists with both hands and pressed it to the end - one hundred thousand gold, safe!
However, Lou Chang did not stop there. Instead, he continued to pour eye drops on Zhao Kuo in front of the King of Zhao: "My king, there is another aspect of this matter that must be considered."
"What's the matter?" King Zhao was about to leave, but was stopped by Lou Chang.
"This is my concern: General!" Lou Chang said without stopping, leaving King Zhao with a vast space for imagination.
King Zhao did not live up to Lou Chang's expectations and immediately fell into the trap: Since Zhao Kuo dared to falsely convey the king's order and ask for reinforcements from Wei the day before yesterday, would Zhao Kuo not dare to ignore the king's order and fight the Qin army today? !
As the saying goes, "Generals outside the country will not accept the emperor's orders." Zhao Kuo is obviously the kind of general who dares not to accept the emperor's orders.
Coupled with the huge prestige after surrounding the Qin army, it is very likely that the hundreds of thousands of troops under his command will obey the general's orders but not the emperor's orders, which will be troublesome!
In addition, what does Lou Chang mean by making this statement at this time?
