"Haha, I'm quite old now. This is the first time that the young master invites someone to come out like this!" Fan Zeng's expression changed for the first time, and his tone was slightly mocking.
Zhao Shu didn't pay attention to Fan Zeng's ridicule, but smiled and said: "If I didn't do this, the current gentleman would still be in Chudi, not Xianyang."
"For me, as long as I achieve my goal, it doesn't really matter what the means are, right?"
"What's more, sir, you are so talented and learned. Do you want to die of old age in the mountains?"
As soon as these words came out, Fan Zeng's expression returned to calmness. Naturally, he didn't want to do this. As a great man, he must be restless in his heart.
"You are Gongzi Shu, right?" At this moment, Fan Zeng raised his head, stared at Zhao Shu, and said.
"Well, it's me!"
At this moment, Zhao Shu also smiled and nodded: "I wonder, sir, would you like to join me and be my mastermind?"
"The general trend of the world belongs to Qin, and it also belongs to me. Only when you join Qin can you fight what you have learned in your heart, right?"
Hearing this, Fan Zeng smiled bitterly and asked Zhao Shu, "Is it possible for me to refuse now?"
"No!"
After laughing loudly, Zhao Shu said in a deep voice, "Sir, he has great talents and is a native of Chu. If he cannot be used by me, there will be one more corpse in Xianyang today."
"This is not a threat!"
"My style of doing things has always been that those who follow me will prosper and those who go against me will perish!"
Hearing Zhao Shu's cold and domineering words, Fan Zeng stared at Zhao Shu for a long time before he raised his hand towards Zhao Shu and said.
"My subordinate Fan Zeng has met the young master!"
"My subordinates are willing to encourage you!"
"Haha... With you here, I will be like a fish in water!" After praising Fan Zeng, Zhao Shu changed the subject and said, "Believe me, this is your most correct choice."
"You will definitely have a place in the Great Qin Dynasty in the future."
"You are living in the house now. When your family members arrive, I will ask the elders to arrange a new residence for you."
"Thank you very much, sir!"
This is the counselor.
They will always choose the option that is most beneficial to them in the most unfavorable situation.
When he entered Xianyang and learned that the person who kidnapped him was Qin Gongzi Zhao Shu, Fan Zeng knew that he could only stay in Zhao Shu's house.
Otherwise, not only him, but also his family will die.
A person who came out of fighting in the army is by no means a soft-hearted person.
"Sir, what do you think of this world?" Zhao Shu changed the subject and asked after taking a sip of herbal tea.
He wanted to test whether Fan Zeng was as powerful as later generations.
After all, in history, Fan Zeng was already seventy years old when he came out of the mountain, and his experiences and knowledge were already different.
Hearing this, Fan Zeng fell silent.
He did not answer immediately because he knew that this was Zhao Shu's test for him. This answer did not need to be fast, but it needed to be accurate.
After pondering for a long time, Fan Zeng organized his words in his mind and said: "Sir, in my opinion, this world will be unified soon!"
"Now Great Qin has destroyed Wei, Han, Zhao, and Yan, and only Great Qin, Chu, and Qi are left in the world."
"With the strength of Great Qin, neither Chu nor Qi can stop it, and Qi and Chu cannot form an alliance."
"Sooner or later, Qi and Chu will be annexed by the Qin Dynasty. Now the people in the Qin Dynasty are preparing to go south to destroy Chu!"
Hearing this, Zhao Shu nodded. He had to admit that Fan Zeng, as his name suggests, really has two skills.
"Why didn't our great Qin destroy Qi first? Why did we destroy Chu first?"
"Haha, although the Qi State is considered powerful, it has not fought for many years and its armaments are lax. Da Qin has a good relationship with the Qi State and has always pursued an isolation policy."
"Compared to the Qi State, the Chu State poses a significantly greater threat. Chu State has a vast territory, a large population, and seemingly dispersed governance. However, in the face of a war to subjugate the country, it will inevitably unleash a powerful fighting force."
"Besides, Chu has good generals, no shortage of soldiers, armor, and food. Moreover, the terrain of Chu is different from that of the Central Plains."
"Once Da Qin destroys Qi, the Chu State will inevitably send troops to the north. At that time, Da Qin will be surrounded by enemies from both sides, not to mention the Hu tribe in the north."
"The only way to go south and destroy Chu is to send special envoys to Qi to ensure that Qi will not participate in the war."
"As long as Qi does not participate in the war, the Hu people in the north will not dare to participate. In this way, Great Qin can use its entire country to go south and destroy Chu."
"Undoubtedly, destroying Chu is more beneficial to Great Qin. I can see this with my eyesight. I don't believe that the Dukes of Great Qin and the man on the throne can't see it."
........
"Sir, you are worthy of being called a great talent!"
Zhao Shu smiled, turned to Fan Zeng and said, "I wonder how much you know about Zhuyue and the land of Baiyue?"
Hearing this, Fan Zeng was stunned for a moment, and then showed a look of surprise: "Young Master aims at the land of Baiyue?"
"To unify the world, it is natural to completely unify. The six kingdoms of Shandong cannot exist, let alone these Yue."
Zhao Shu smiled. He didn't mind telling Fan Zeng these things. Firstly, it was to conquer Fan Zeng. Secondly, there was no need to hide it.
Because he knew that anyone who was smart could see the strategic plan of Qin. As for Zhuyue, even if the news leaked, it might not reach Zhuyue.
Even if it spread to Zhuyue, so what, facing the Great Qin Wangshi, they would not only be captured without help, but also be killed.
"Sir, I know a little about the land of Zhuyue, but not much!" Fan Zeng nodded, then shook his head.
He really didn't know much about Zhu Yue.
"Um!"
Nodding slightly, Zhao Shu turned to Fan Zeng and said, "I have a secret force under my command, which is called the Twelve Shang."
"Its leader is Yan Mo. From today on, sir, how about you serve as the deputy leader of the Twelve Shang?"
"I need detailed information about the lands of Zhuyue!"
"promise."
At this moment, Fan Zeng nodded, his expression solemn, and a touch of excitement deep in his eyes.
Facing the temptation given by Zhao Shu, he was naturally a little tempted. As soon as Zhao Shu came up, he gave him huge power.
This kind of trust moved him somewhat.
"Don't worry, young master, my subordinates will definitely find out the information about the land of Zhuyue!"
"Um!"
Nodding slightly, Zhao Shu turned to Fan Zeng and said, "Sir, go and rest first. I think your family will arrive in Xianyang tomorrow."
"promise."
After watching Fan Zeng leave, Zhao Shu turned to Yinwei and said: "Yinwei, let the people in the dark veins keep an eye on Fan Zeng. Be careful and don't let the other party notice."
"This person is not simple!"
"promise."
At the same time, Zhao Shu wrote a letter and handed it to Yinwei, saying: "Give this volume of silk to Shang Qing for Dunwei."
"He'll know what I mean!"
