Just when Ziyou was thinking about when to visit Taiyi Mountain, Yan and Neipang Nuan could not withstand the pressure in the end, because Yang Duanhe had already captured Liyang and was about to prepare to support Wang Yan. Yecheng, then the three Qin armies will complete their combined forces, and the final frontline will be directed at HD. The method of encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao will not test your ability to command troops, but your loyalty to the monarch.
Faced with HD's urging, Pang Nuan had no choice. He sent people to stay in Yanyu and personally led the army to pursue Wang Jian's tribe. However, when no one expected, Wang Jian and Yang Duan ambushed Pang Nuan with 50,000 troops and supported him. The 100,000-strong army was completely wiped out. In addition to the 200,000-strong army that had been divided to support them before, the 150,000-strong army was now gone. Pang Nuan committed suicide after looking at the Zhao army's corpses all over the ground.
Hu Zhe wanted to run back to Yanyu with the remaining troops, but Yanyu was already occupied by Wang Ben's 60,000 troops. The Zhao Kingdom was shaken for a while. Zhao Wangyan was finally afraid and did not want to occupy Yan Kingdom's land. , quickly ordered Li Mu to return for reinforcements. Li Mu saw the news of Zhao Jun's defeat and Pang Nuan's death, and he fell into unprecedented powerlessness.
This time the Zhao State was still defeated by the trust of the generals and the urgent attack of the young men in the army. This led to the Zhao State's failure again. After Li Mu asked Sima Shang to defend the occupied territory of the Yan State, he returned with the Wuling Iron Cavalry. Aid HD.
Just when Li Mu was preparing to confront the Qin army head-on, Zhao Wangyan refused and only asked Li Mu to lead the Wuling cavalry to defend HD. He himself sent Guo Kai to negotiate peace with Qin. Li Mu could only nod feebly. Although they brought 30,000 Wuling cavalry, they were still unable to face the Qin army's 200,000 troops. Although Yanmen Pass still had 80,000 infantry and 30,000 cavalry, they could not be mobilized easily. On the one hand, they had to face the Yan State. , one needs to be careful about the grassland.
Li Mu looked in the direction of HD and wanted to shout that the king and the general were incompatible, but there was no way. Although Zhao Wangyan was stupid towards Zhao Guo, he could be said to have shown his heart and soul to Li Mu. He trusted Li Mu no matter what. Can't say this.
Ziyou was originally going to Taiyi Mountain, but when he heard that Guo Kai had come to Xianyang, he stopped and went to court with great interest. Yan Lingji looked at Ziyou who was wearing court clothes and asked curiously
"Is Guo Kai so interesting to you?"
Ziyou pinched Yan Lingji's nose and said
"Aren't you interested? Do you know that there are many famous generals from the Zhao Kingdom, who is number one?"
"Since ancient times, there has been no first in literature and no second in martial arts. There are so many famous generals in the Zhao Kingdom, how do I know who is the best?" Yan Lingji knocked off Ziyou's hand, stretched out her arms to hug Ziyou, and adjusted Ziyou's belt. "You don't want to say that this Guo Kai is number one, right?"
"What else? That's Guo Kai, the number one general in the Zhao Kingdom. He just told Wu'an Jun Lian Po to go far away and not return to Zhao, and then made Pang Nuan commit suicide. Can such a person become the number one?" You Xin said, even Li Mu was killed by Guo Kai. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were four Wu'an Lords in total. Guo Kai killed two by himself. Who was the number one general in the Warring States Period?
Yan Lingji understood Ziyou's words and smiled.
"Why do I feel that if the Qin State does not reward Guo Kai, it will be sorry for the Qin State's number one hero."
"Hahahaha." Ziyou also laughed out loud.
Yan Lingji helped Ziyou tidy up his belt, and Ziyou went to court. Outside the main hall of Zhangtai Palace, Lu Buwei was a little surprised to see Ziyou who had asked for leave. Lu Buwei and Li Si gathered around him and asked Ziyou. After Yan Lingji's words were spoken, several people laughed loudly, which attracted the attention of the surrounding ministers, but no one dared to say anything. They were just curious about what made the core figures of Qin laugh so happily.
"If we follow the Qin law, Guo Kai should be able to be made a marquis." Lu Buwei agreed in a good mood. He was indeed in a good mood because Fusu can speak now, which means that it will be confirmed in another year or two. The candidates for the Crown Prince and Young Master have been selected.
"If possible, I must take credit for Guo Kai." Li Si smiled hoarsely.
But the joke ended not long after, because the door of the main hall opened, and after paying homage to the court, Guo Kai also came to see him. What happened after that was easy to explain. Qin and Zhao signed an armistice agreement. As for the The specific matters were left to Dianke and the Prime Minister's Office. The Qin State did not want to take advantage of the Zhao State on the land. It just ceded the occupied land to the Zhao State and recognized that this was the territory of the Qin State. The household registration and land were all Split completed.
The second is food and money. Without land matters, these are trivial. The biggest fear in negotiations is the issue of land and population. As long as the land and population are still there, money and food will slowly come back. For the Qin State This magnanimity was something Guo Kai did not expect. In order to curry favor with Qin, Guo Kai deliberately made concessions in terms of money and food.
"This negotiation was very successful. Prime Minister Guo is worthy of being the pillar of the Zhao Kingdom. I admire you." Li Si saluted Guo Kai and said.
Guo Kai was somewhat flattered and returned the favor, because Li Si's admiration was sincere and not superficially polite. Guo Kai also discovered that the senior officials in the Qin court were very polite and admired him, which puzzled Guo Kai.
"Your Majesty, you are so polite. How can Kai compete with you? But Kai does have something unknown." Guo Kai looked at Li Si and said. He did not dare to look down on Li Si in the slightest. He knew that Li Si was one of the core members of the Qin State.
"Xiang Guo said it's okay," Li Si said.
"After I entered Qin, I found that everyone in the Qin court was very polite to me. This was something I never thought of. I don't know why?" Guo Kai stood up and said.
Li Si narrowed his eyes and looked at Guo Kai. The joke about being helpless that day spread among the senior officials of the Qin State. Everyone tacitly maintained their admiration for Guo Kai. After all, Guo Kai's record could be compared to that of Wu'an Junbai. get up.
"Our Qin State has always respected talented people. During the period when Prime Minister Guo was in charge of Zhao, he fought diligently to prevent Zhao from being bullied by outsiders." Li Si began to praise Guo Kai.
Hearing these compliments, Guo Kai was a little ashamed at first, but looking at Li Si's unchanging expression and the courtesy he received recently in Qin, he couldn't help but wonder, did he really have such a status in Qin? The vanity in his heart couldn't help but start to become complacent. He could already imagine that if Li Si's words were reported back to Zhao State, Zhao Wangyan would definitely think more highly of him.
"Your Majesty, you are so polite. Kai is not that talented and ambitious, but the king appreciates me and gives me the opportunity. Naturally, I will do my best to serve the country and repay the king's kindness." Guo Kai said with a smile.
Li Si also cooperated with Guo Kai. Anyway, he got all the benefits, and it was okay to praise him a little more, especially since Guo Kai had indeed contributed to Qin. He just hoped that Guo Kai could continue to use his advantages and find a way to overcome Li Mu, the biggest obstacle. Killed too.
It’s all done today
