"The King of Wei is eloquent, and this king also admires the King of Wei tightly, hehe-"

came and did not be rude, was praised by Su Qin for a long time, Gou Jian naturally couldn't do without praising the pottery merchant a few words, and the atmosphere was harmonious for a while, as if more than a year ago, Gou Jian personally led a large army to besiege Jiangling for several months, and it didn't happen at all, and the two sides automatically ignored it.

The two guests and hosts were talking and laughing, riding horses all the way to Chengdu City.

All the way through the prosperous Chengdu Royal Street, Gou Jian took Su Qin straight into the Shu Palace, and above the main hall, good wine and meat had been prepared for him.

Gou Jian sat on the throne, Su Qin was invited into the ceremony of the first guest on the left of the steps, and the young Fa Zheng sat opposite him.

Su Qin could feel that the chief strategist of Shu was quite indifferent to him, and he didn't say a word to himself from outside the city to entering the palace.

Moreover, Fa Zheng's eyes as sharp as an eagle were staring at him from beginning to end, as if he wanted to see through his true thoughts.

"The king is right, this Fazheng is indeed not a fuel-efficient lamp......" Su Qin sighed secretly in his heart, showing that he pretended not to know, and let Fazheng secretly observe, I did not move like a mountain.

At the beginning of the banquet, Su Qin still complimented Gou Jian, and Gou Jian also frequently talked to him, and the two sides praised each other, as if they were like a family.

In addition to Liu Zhang, Zhang Song, Meng Da and other Shu ministers also took turns to toast Su Qin, a distinguished guest, to show their closeness.

Above the main hall, the atmosphere of the banquet was quite pleasant, but only Fa Zheng kept silent.

After a long time, Fa Zheng finally couldn't hold it back, so he put the wine glass on the table, and said loudly: "Su Shilang, everyone knows that you are actually here on the order of the King of Wei, just a year ago, my Shu and your country also fought a battle in Jingzhou, and now the Wei State annexed Jing Wu, and the power is flourishing, but suddenly sent a foot to my Shu State, I don't know what the King of Wei means." ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the hall, and this seemingly friendly and pleasant atmosphere was interrupted by Fa Zheng.

Seeing that this friendly atmosphere was interrupted, Gou Jian couldn't help frowning secretly, and a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

Of course, he knew that the relationship between Wei and Shu before was by no means as harmonious as this banquet, and Su Qin must have other intentions here.

But with Gou Jian's character, he knew that the two countries were enemies, and he didn't want to make it clear in person, and he wanted to wait for the time to be ripe, and then it was not too late to slowly ask questions from Su Qin's mouth.

He didn't expect that his chief strategist was an impatient, and he tore the window paper in a few words.

At this point, Gou Jian simply pretended to be confused, and drank the wine by himself, but he wanted to hear how Su Qin explained.

In fact, in Gou Jian's heart, he wanted to understand the intentions of the potters more than anyone else.

The three kingdoms of Jin, Chu and Wu have all been destroyed, and the determination of the pottery merchants to sweep away the countries and dominate the world has long been known to everyone in the world.

Since the pace of the pottery merchants to unify the world will not stop, then after the destruction of Wu, the blade will definitely turn to them in the three kingdoms of Qin, Shu and Yan.

Gou Jian knew that among the Three Kingdoms, his Shu State was the weakest, so he was naturally worried, and the Tao Chamber of Commerce would take him first.

In the face of Fa Zheng's straightforward question, Su Qin only smiled faintly, and said unhurriedly: "Fang is in chaos today, all countries are fighting for power, today is horizontal, tomorrow is together, today is the enemy, fight to the death, tomorrow is a friend, intimacy is like a family, it is a normal thing, the battle back then, the king of my family didn't care about it, and sent a subordinate to come, why should Mr. Fa still worry about it." ”

Su Qin is worthy of being Su Qin, his mouth is quite sharp, and his reaction is also very fast, and in a few words, the unhappiness between the two countries is invisible.

Gou Jian remained silent, and quietly glanced at Fa Zheng, hoping that Fa Zheng would ask what he wanted to ask.

Fa Zheng's expression moved, and he couldn't help sneering: "Su Shilang Guo I live up to the name of 'Su Qin', a good one is an enemy today, fight to the death, tomorrow is a friend, intimate like a family, listen to Su Shilang's meaning, King Wei is now going to treat my king as a family?" ”

Su Qin smiled faintly, "It's not enough to talk about being a family, it's just that the king of my family and His Royal Highness the King of Shu have a common enemy right now, and the so-called enemy of the enemy is a friend, and the king of my family just sent me here to remind His Royal Highness the King of Shu this friend." ”

"Reminder, what to wake up?" Fa Zheng asked rhetorically.

Su Qin smiled, raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the north, "Now Cao Cao is increasing grain and grass to the front line of Longxi, clearly planning to do something to the Qiang people, conquering the Qiang people, Cao Cao will definitely go south again and invade your Shu Kingdom, I came this time to remind you of this." ”

Gou Jian's expression moved slightly, he glanced at Fa Zheng, the main minister exchanged glances, Gou Jian still didn't speak, pretending not to hear anything.

"I see, I see that Mr. is here, it should not be as simple as following the order of King Wei to remind my lord, right?" There are words in Fazheng's words, which are meaningless.

Su Qin was stunned at first, and then laughed, "Since Mr. Fa has said it to this point, then there is no need for the lower officials to beat around the bush, I will tell the truth, in fact, I came this time to unite your country to send troops to Guanzhong, and my two families joined forces to destroy Cao and divide the land of Qin." ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of discussion in the main hall.

On the throne, Gou Jian was still silent, but nodded secretly, and a trace of imperceptible pride flashed in his eyes, as if he had expected it.

The corners of Fa Zheng's mouth also raised a secret smile, but he asked rhetorically: "King Wei wants us to send troops to help him destroy Qin, so what benefits can we get from it." ”

"Of course there are benefits." Su Qin raised his hand and pointed to the northwest again, "The king of my family promised that after the destruction of Qin, our two countries will be bounded by Longshan, and the land of Qin in the west of Longshan, including Liangzhou, will be returned to Shu, and the land in Guanzhong east of Longshan will be owned by my Great Wei. ”

When Su Qin's words came out, the ministers of Shu who were present were all bright, even if they were silent, as if they were pretending to be drinking, and there was a glimmer of light in their eyes.

For Wei Guo's proposal, even if it is Fazheng, it is difficult to weigh the pros and cons for a while, and he doesn't know how to respond, so he has to look at Gou Jian.

Gou Jian knew that when it came to this, he had to stand up and end up.

At that moment, Gou Jian laughed, picked up the wine glass, and said with a smile: "This matter of joint destruction of Qin, I am not in a hurry to decide today, today this king will set up a banquet, just to catch the wind for Su Shilang, let's only drink today, don't talk about business, come, this king will pay a glass to Su Shilang." ”

Su Qin knew that Gou Jian didn't want to make a decision on the spot for such a major matter, and he still needed to sum it up with his ministers in private, which was deliberately trying to pass it perfunctory first.

Su Qin was naturally not in a hurry, so he no longer mentioned the matter of uniting with Shu, but only drank happily with Gou Jian and the ministers of Shu and chatted about some innocuous topics.

This banquet was drunk until the lanterns were hung high, and Su Qin was drunk for seven or eight minutes before he was sent to the pavilion by Gou Jian.

Su Qin, who was drunk, was staggered by the left and right attendants and helped into the room, as soon as the door was closed, Su Qin immediately stood up straight, and there was no drunkenness on his face.

"How about it, have you all done the matter in Nanzhong?" Su Qin asked a school officer who was already waiting in the room, a brocade-clothed guard.

The school official hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Lord Su, we are ordered by Lord Zhang to spread the news to the seven counties of Nanzhong one month in advance, saying that Cao Cao has secretly sent an envoy into Nanzhong, and Feng Meng has been named the king of Nanzhong, and when Cao Cao conquers the Qiang people and invades Shu in the south, he will raise troops to respond and help Cao Cao to attack and destroy Shu in the north and south. ”

"Well, well done, keep spreading the word." Su Qin nodded with satisfaction.

Left and right to retreat, Su Qin stood by the window, through the crack in the window, quietly looked in the direction of the palace, and muttered a sneer: "Liu Zhang, we have already put this bait tempting enough, I don't believe you don't take the bait." ”

……

Shu Palace.

The ministers have dispersed, leaving only Fa Zheng, Zhang Song, Huang Quan and Meng Da, and a few other confidants and important ministers of Gou Jian.

"King, what we have been thinking about all these years is to go north out of the Qinling Mountains and enter Guanlong, but because Cao Cao's troops are not weak, they have not been able to achieve it, and now since there are pottery merchants who take the initiative to unite us, this is a great opportunity for us to seize Liangzhou in Longxi."

Meng Da was the first to jump out and express his support for Gou Jian's alliance with Wei, after all, as a native of Guanzhong, he couldn't wait to go back to his hometown.

Gou Jian's eyes also revealed a little excitement.

He has the eloquence to dominate the world, and he is never willing to nest in such a small ravine as Yizhou and do a lifetime of separating the world.

If you want to enter the world, you must open up outward, and with the geographical location of Shu, the use of troops abroad is nothing more than two roads, one is to take Jingzhou to the east, and the other is to go north out of the Qinling Mountains and take the land of Guanlong.

The latter has a successful example of Han Gaozu back then, and has always been Goujian's first choice, and over the years, Goujian has also tried several times, but they were all blocked by Qinling, and finally returned in vain.

After several defeats, Gou Jian had to change his strategy and try to break through from the direction of Jingzhou, but was blocked by 20,000 soldiers and horses of Wei in the mountains of Jingxi, and it was difficult to move an inch.

At present, Gou Jian has encountered this God-given opportunity, with the strength of Wei, if he attacks Qin, Cao Cao will definitely transfer most of his troops to deal with the pottery merchants, and at that time he was given the opportunity to take the opportunity to go north out of the Qinling Mountains and encroach on Guanlong.

Although he finally had to divide the Qin State equally with the pottery merchants, he finally got a large area of land west of Longshan, including Liangzhou.

Liangzhou is in hand, which means that he can get the Liangzhou war horse, form an iron cavalry, and go east to the Central Plains......

"The king, the minister thinks it is impossible!"

Just when Gou Jian was thinking about a beautiful blueprint for the future, Fa Zheng's sudden opposition interrupted Gou Jian from his thoughts.

"Why not?" Gou Jian's brows were slightly condensed.

Fa Zheng stood up, took a deep breath, and said: "This proposal of the pottery thief seems to be beneficial to us, but in fact, it is just that the pottery thief wants to use us and help him destroy the Qin State. ”

With a few words, he poured cold water on Gou Jian's head, which instantly woke Gou Jian up a little, and his expression changed.

At this time, Huang Quan also stood up and arched his hand: "King, Fa Xiao is blunt, Fang Jin's pottery thief has destroyed the three kingdoms of Jin, Chu and Wu, and the strength is unprecedentedly strong, in fact, Wei is our biggest threat, if we help the pottery merchants destroy the Qin State, wouldn't it be cold lips and teeth, please think twice." ”

The words of the two important ministers finally made Gou Jian calm down again, and began to put aside his immediate interests and re-look at the potter's joint proposal from the perspective of the overall situation.

After pondering for a moment, Gou Jian patted the case, and snorted coldly: "You two are reasonable, this king almost fell for the pottery thief." ”

After scolding, Gou Jian said again: "Then according to your opinion, should this king reject the pottery thief's proposal now?" ”

"No, on the contrary, the king should agree." The corners of Fa Zheng's mouth raised a mysterious sneer.
