It turns out that the previous condition was not a condition at all, but a bargaining chip for the third requirement.
Do you want the Qin Army's more than 100,000 troops to evacuate safely? No problem, I’ve thought of all the solutions for you;
Do you hate me as the instigator? No problem, I will help you find a way to cut off my own future so that you will never see me on the battlefield again!
However, there is a condition - General Qin, Lord Wu An, and Bai Qi must stay with me.
What? disagree!
I’ve said all my words and I don’t have a future anymore. Now you can’t tell me? What did you do early?
You can’t do it if you say no? ! What do you think I am! You have to make it clear that it is my Zhao army that is surrounding your Qin army, not your Qin army that is surrounding my Zhao army.
I have already given in like this, even my own future is gone. If I still cannot achieve my goal, do you think I will care about disobeying the king's order one more time? !
Fan Sui suddenly realized that he seemed to have fallen into a trap, a trap that betrayed his own Lord Wu An.
A look of horror instantly appeared on Fan Sui's face.
"Wu Anjun, I didn't..." Fan Sui hurriedly wanted to explain.
Bai Qi on the other side smiled slightly and said, "This policy of putting Zhao Kuo to death and living later has nothing to do with the Prime Minister!"
Wang Hao and Sima Cuo obviously hadn't reacted yet. They looked at Bai Qi and Fan Sui blankly, not knowing what to say.
Bai Qi, who had already made his decision and issued the order, seemed to have put down a huge burden. His complexion also improved a lot, and even the deep wrinkles were reduced a lot.
Slowly sitting down, Bai Qi softly recounted Zhao Kuo's actions one by one, not only to clear up confusion between Wang Lu and Sima, but also to explain Fan Sui's situation in the Zhao camp.
"According to what Xiangguo said, when King Zhao's envoy entered, I am afraid that Zhao Kuo was mobilizing troops and generals to prepare for a general attack on our army. And Zhao Kuo also immediately reacted to the fact that King Zhao's order might not be conducive to the war, so he A civil servant named Pingyuan Jun came forward to greet him. In fact, the greeting was fake, and the obstruction was real. Unfortunately, with the presence of the Prime Minister, Pingyuan Jun was unable to stop him." Bai Qi softly reasoned about the scene at that time.
Beside Fan Sui, Wang Hao, and Sima Cuo all nodded slightly in agreement.
"Zhao Kuo must have known about this very quickly, and he also knew in an instant that the king's order was unstoppable. It was impossible to raise the same army in total, not because he was unwilling to disobey the order, but because he couldn't. Once the king's order was issued, If we send out troops to fight again, it will be unjust and unjust; secondly, morale will be exhausted, and there is no guarantee of victory; thirdly, Pingyang Jun and others will be on the side, and they only need to instigate an army of 10,000 to 20,000 to rebel, and the consequences will be irreversible." Bai. Qi Qing sighed, as if he felt that Zhao Kuo was not worth it.
If Zhao Kuo was in Qin, he would not be constrained by this, just like himself. What a pity...
Putting aside his sympathy for Zhao Kuo, Bai Qi continued: "After confirming that it was impossible to send troops for a general attack, a plan appeared in his mind. He knew very well that this battle could no longer achieve full success, so his plan Just to get the maximum benefit for Zhao State."
"And I, Lord Wu'an Bai Qi, am the greatest interest in Zhao Kuo's eyes!" As he said this, Bai Qi actually laughed. Obviously, Bai Qi was quite proud to be able to make an opponent who defeated him take him so seriously.
"So, Zhao Kuo first showed weakness to everyone in a shocked manner. After everyone took it lightly, he quickly threw out three demands." Bai Qi continued to analyze: "Three demands, that's a lot! Just when everyone was worried When he raised his voice, thinking that he was going to make an impossible request to achieve the purpose of rejecting the king's order, he instead brought up a detail about moving the army."
"Involuntarily, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief. Then they agreed to his request. In this way, the impression that he was obeying the king's order was strong. Then, he asked for Hanoi County. , overthrowing the impression that was just made, and raising everyone's hearts again." Bai Qi narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Here comes the most exciting part! When the Prime Minister sternly refused, Zhao Kuo immediately changed his tune and changed the cession to land exchange. He even accidentally
Among them, he forced himself into a corner where he acted recklessly and tampered with the king's order. Once the land exchange is successful, regardless of whether it is beneficial to Zhao State, it will definitely be a devastating blow to Zhao Kuo.
No king would accept a general who tampered with the king's orders.
But unfortunately, such behavior is extremely popular! Both Zhao Jun and the Prime Minister are probably extremely willing to agree to this matter. "Bai Qi's words are still soft.
Fan Sui nodded helplessly on the side. Indeed, it was more cost-effective for Qin to exchange the slightest difference in territory for Zhao Kuo to never use it again. He agreed to Zhao Kuo without any hesitation.
Wang Lu and Sima Cuo on the side still didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
Bai Qi then continued: "After the Prime Minister agreed, in the eyes of Zhao Jun, Zhao Kuo exchanged his own future for the future of Zhao State. The military morale that was originally a little scattered due to the king's order was immediately reunited by Zhao Kuo. .At the same time, after two ups and downs, Zhao Kuo's drama of obeying the king's order and releasing the Qin army was considered complete, and no one could find fault.
"In other words, as long as Zhao Kuo's last request is not so excessive, I, the State of Qin, have to agree or not. Because at this time, Zhao Jun only has one more excuse." Bai Qi sighed deeply: "A king's envoy It is an excuse that we cannot argue with, an excuse to launch a general attack on our army, and an excuse that can inspire the entire army to move forward bravely."
"And this excuse is Zhao Kuo's third request - that is, I, Lord Wu'an of Great Qin, Bai Qi." Bai Qi raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said slowly: "If you don't go to the banquet, you will become Zhao Kuo's worst enemy." Good excuse."
"Then let's go to the banquet!" Wang Hao on the side couldn't help but said angrily: "The two armies are fighting and the envoys will not be killed. What's more, Lord Wu'an was invited by Zhao Kuo. How dare Zhao Kuo'an take action?"
Bai Qi shook his head helplessly and said: "Zhao Kuo did not hesitate to take off his clothes in public and did this rude thing. He is telling the world that our Da Qin secret arrows are hurting people. He is also telling me directly that blood debts need to be repaid with blood." , either the blood of my heart, or the blood of a hundred thousand Qin troops."
"Jun Wu'an, we still have dozens of elite soldiers in our army, and the total number of soldiers including the general and others is hundreds. How can we protect Jun Wu'an back to camp safely?" Sima Cuo also replied.
Bai Qi shook his head and said slowly: "There is no need to discuss whether you dare to kill or not. Once the swords and weapons are connected, it will be the same as if I did not attend the banquet. It will become an excuse for the Zhao army to send troops."
"This..." All three of them were speechless.
"Why don't you replace Mr. Wu An with someone else?" Fan Sui weakly suggested from the side.
