Before Fan Sui could answer, Sima Cuo on the side became anxious - six hundred men were simply not enough to annihilate Zhao Kuo's troops.
"My king!" Sima Cuo hurriedly spoke to explain.
King Qin shook his head slightly, and his gentle eyes seemed to tell Sima Cuo: I have never doubted Ai Qing's calculations. Then he said slowly to Sima Cuo: "I know that one thousand two hundred people is the limit. Please be patient and don't be impatient."
Turning his head, King Qin looked at Fan Sui again.
The question suddenly came to Prime Minister Fan Sui. Fan Sui also frowned deeply for an instant. There were six hundred people, more or less. Although it was still more than the upper limit of the population of ordinary envoys in the past, King Qin cut off half of the number with just one word. This gave Fan Sui some room to operate.
Fan Sui knew that what King Qin wanted was not simply to send these 600 soldiers to Zhao, but also to send all their weapons and equipment, and not to arouse suspicion in Zhao.
Facing King Qin's slightly scorching gaze, after pondering for a long time, Fan Sui finally nodded his head.
"This matter requires Wang Lu and General Sima Cuo to endure some hardships and cooperate before it can be accomplished." Fan Sui frowned in confusion and looked at Wang Lu and Sima Cuo.
"It doesn't matter what the Prime Minister says. There's nothing we won't do but obey." Wang Lu immediately agreed.
Fan Sui was also unambiguous and was about to tell his plan: "After we have completed our discussion, General Wang He needs you to make a big fuss at the palace gate. It is best to kneel in front of the palace gate to prevent the king's order from being conveyed. Then the king The envoy will come out from the side gate, General Sima Cuo, please contact the military princes at that time to stop the king's envoy coming out of the east gate of Xianyang."
"This?" Wang Hao and Sima Cuo were a little numb when they heard this. They were not Bai Qi, let alone Zhao Kuo. It was not a big problem to kneel down at the palace gate, but to stop the king's envoy, they had eaten the courage of a bear's heart and a leopard's courage. ! Immediately, their eyes drifted towards King Qin, and the meaning couldn't be more obvious - Your Majesty, tell me what to do, and we will all listen to you.
King Qin was also a little confused about this. Although with his prestige, he was not afraid of anything that would force him into the palace, but it was really unnecessary to resort to such a move for no reason. Even if it is a show, it will weaken one's personal prestige.
Then King Qin looked at Fan Sui with doubtful eyes - please explain.
The old and mature Fan Sui quickly understood what the King of Qin meant, and immediately continued: "This is all confusion, in order to make Zhao Guo believe that our country Qin has a huge dispute over whether to introduce Zhao Kuo to Qin. Therefore, in order to prevent If there is a change, it would be reasonable for the minister to come forward and order the envoy to set off in advance of the gold and jade treasures. And although the envoy and his party have no money, they can still bring two hundred people to protect them."
"Of course, in order to let Zhao Guo know about this, we need the help of Hei Bingtai and Lou Chang and others in Handan City." Fan Sui continued: "Following up, Xianyang City searched for gold and jade treasures and continued to block Zhao Guo's ears and eyes. One day later, the king was furious and ordered the two generals to go home and examine themselves, and then the large army was able to leave the city. In this way, four or five hundred soldiers could enter Zhao without any hindrance."
"Cai!" Before King Qin could say anything, Wang Hao was already cheering beside him.
After hearing this, King Qin also stroked his gray beard. He was obviously very satisfied with Fan Sui's plan. It can be said that this plan has been considered very carefully.
But Sima Cuo was not happy at all. Without him, the problem of 600 soldiers entering Zhao was solved, and there was even some redundancy. But the problem was that these 600 soldiers had no effect at all!
As if he heard Sima Cuo's thoughts, King Qin patted Sima Cuo on the shoulder and asked with a smile: "Six hundred elite soldiers are not enough to strangle Zhao Kuo?"
"My King Rongzhen: If we want to stop Yan and the reinforcements in the city, we need at least two hundred..." Sima Cuo finally caught the opportunity and immediately explained the troop deployment to the King of Qin.
However, before he had finished speaking, King Qin stopped Sima Cuo again: "What if it's six hundred sharp soldiers?"
"Rui Shi?!" The three of them exclaimed in unison.
The elite soldiers of the Qin Army are the most high-end combat power among the Qin Army. They exist like nuclear bombs and are one of the main forces protecting the King of Qin.
With the ability of sharp soldiers, it is obviously not a problem to use one against two. To know how difficult it is to select elite soldiers, as mentioned above, hundreds of thousands of Qin soldiers
Only a thousand people were selected from the army, and throughout the history of the Qin State, even at its peak, its number at its peak was only 1,600, and today's number is no longer as good as this number.
But the bad thing is the precious number. Even before the battle of Shangdang, the number was only slightly more than a thousand. In the Battle of Shangdang, the elite soldiers of the Qin Army cut off the rear, retook the fortress, and participated in many battles such as besieging the main force of the Zhao Army. It can be said that they were active in every most dangerous place.
It is precisely because of this that even with the bravery of a sharp soldier, he will inevitably suffer heavy losses.
In just one battle, almost all of the more than 500 elite soldiers of the Qin Army shed their blood on the land of Shangdang County, and less than 10% of them returned home.
After careful calculation, I am afraid that the number of six hundred is almost all the power in the hands of King Qin, if not all, then most of the power at that time.
In other words, the King of Qin wanted to exchange Zhao Kuo's life with almost the only remaining warriors of the Qin army!
"Your Majesty, how can this be done!" Fan Sui still expressed his denial immediately.
"Your Majesty, it is indeed impossible." Wang Lu also said immediately: "Why don't we select 600 people to go to Zhao based on the personal soldiers of the generals and others. The elite soldiers of the Qin army must not be moved lightly."
Compared to Fan Sui's dry denial, it was clear that Wang Hao had proposed an alternative plan, but this plan was obviously not feasible.
Without him, there would be a huge difference in combat power!
In other words, the number of 1,200 men calculated by Sima Cuo was based on the combat strength of his own soldiers. Six hundred soldiers obviously cannot complete the work of 1,200 people.
However, the Qin army’s warriors can!
Of course King Qin understood what they were thinking, but he did not pay attention to their objections. Instead, he looked at Sima Cuo who was silent and said slowly: "I just want to ask, can six hundred sharp soldiers be worth one thousand two hundred Soldiers, can they kill Zhao Kuo from his horse?!"
Looking at King Qin's serious eyes, Sima Cuo took a slow breath, and finally slowly uttered one word: "Yes!"
After hearing this, Wang Hao and Fan Sui both looked at Sima Cuo with angry eyes: "How can you bet on the safety of my king?", "This method of risking one's life is definitely not feasible."
King Qin ignored the angry two men, nodded and said to Sima Cuo, "If you can, that's fine."
Then he smiled at Wang Lu and Fan Sui and said: "I am in Xianyang, there is nothing unsafe, and there is no such thing as risking your life.
