Chapter 144 Burying the Root of the Curse
The two vassal states of Qin and Zhao have been fighting each other for a long time, and from the perspective of three years, both countries have been exhausted, not to mention the national treasury of Qin, even the several granaries supplied by the Bashu generation have almost been exhausted.
"Now that the resources of the Qin State are not much, if they continue to consume like this, I am afraid that the Qin State will be empty in the country, so that it will not be able to supply in the short term, even if this defeats the Zhao State, I am afraid that the Qin State will also have endless troubles" Fan Ju suggested.
King Zhaoxiang pondered deeply, in fact, the king also knew that the final winner of this battle must be the Qin State, but it has been consumed, and I am afraid that the final result will be that the victory will only be a miserable victory.
"How can a widow not understand, but my Qin State can't afford to lose"
"King, now that my Qin Kingdom is consuming the savings of the previous Qin kings, if I don't make a decision, I'm afraid it will be ......"
"I'm afraid of what, I'm afraid I have to attack, I have to compete with Zhao Guoyi" Wang Da's words were very tough, but his heart was empty, and Fan Ju knew the state of mind and situation of Wang at this time.
"King, Fan Ju is not persuading Wang to withdraw his troops, but to see if he can move on top of the competition between these two tigers...... Little hands and feet" Fan Ju's tone became extremely vague, and Wang seemed to sense something.
"The Prime Minister means ......"
"My Qin people have a friend in Zhao State, named Lü Buwei, this person is good at business, and his backer is Guo Kai, the doctor of Zhao State, Guo Kai loves rare treasures......"
"The doctor of a country will be tempted by the treasures, jokes"
Fan Ju strolled to the king, then turned his head to look at the guards, and the king told the guards to retreat: "You all go down and close the gate."
After the guards left, Fan Ju smiled slightly, and that smile was almost no better word to describe than sinister: "Everything has a price, in Zhao State, Guo Kai is just a doctor after all"
"What do you mean?"
"For the sake of the Qin State, just one phase, Fan Ju doesn't care"
"The widow understands the meaning of the prime minister, how to plan the prime minister's words"
Fan Ju returned to his position, and then knelt down: "King, if you use the phase of the Qin State and add rare treasures to exchange Guo Kai's trust, so as to replace Lian Po with a divisive strategy, and then use the strategy of stealing the sky to change the sun, and replace Wang Di with Wu Anjun Baiqi...... King! ”
"Weaken the enemy's generals, strengthen the commanders of our army, and distort the previous balance strategy, so as to surprise the victory?"
"I'm Wise"
But now, a new question has arisen, that is, who is the most suitable for the enemy to be replaced.
"Mafuzi Zhao Kuo"
"Mafuzi Zhao Kuo? Could it be the son of Zhao Hao, a horse husband who the Qin people feared? If that's the case, it's not a disaster for the Qin people."
Hearing Wang's words, Fan Ju smiled euphemistically from time to time, "Wang, Ma Fujun Zhao Hao has always been the main attacker, and the attack is strategic, and his son is immature, not as far-sighted as his father, and there is no precipitation of the years, such a person who does not have much actual combat experience, and is just a fox and a fake tiger, it is very suitable."
"That's right, let Wu Anjun, the world's recognized god of war, fight against a hairy boy, this plan is wonderful"
"That's not all, king, who is more than my Qin country and Zhao country at the moment?"
King Zhaoxiang was overjoyed: "Of course it's my Qin country, my Qin country is better than Zhao country, and I can withstand him more than three."
"So my Qin State is almost consumed, and the domestic strength of Zhao State is only afraid that it has been overdrawn for a long time, so the king ......"
Fan Ju's words went deep into the heart of King Qin, so King Qin sent Fan Ju to complete this time, as for how to make Bai Qi successfully replace Wang Ji, King Zhaoxiang has his own way.
With brisk steps, Fan Ju left the palace and happened to pass by Bai Qi, who was still indifferent: "The prime minister is so elated, I'm afraid he has been rewarded by the king again."
"Wu Anjun, you won't have to call me prime minister soon"
The words are peculiar, the prime minister who is under one person and above 10,000 people, is it possible that the king wants Fan Ju to be the prince?
"Of course not, I'm going to say goodbye to the old man and return to his hometown, by the way, in addition, the king has instructed you to make the next arrangements, go Wu Anjun, Fan Ju will retire first"
As we all know, everyone is happy to be promoted, how can they be so happy when they are demoted, it is indeed rare, about the understanding of Fan Ju Bai Qi always thought that Fan Ju did not know what kind of medicine was sold in this gourd.
Bai Qi turned around, and the white cloak fluttered above the steps of the Qin Palace, and then Bai Qi entered the palace and bowed to King Zhaoxiang on one knee.
"Knock to the king"
"Wu Anjun, you are here, widowed Wu Anjun!" King Zhaoxiang enthusiastically walked towards Wu Anjun.
Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief, and the king's enthusiasm is only because: "The widow wants you to go to Changping, replace Wang Di, and fight to the death with the Zhao army"
"Does the king think that Wang Di can't take Lian Po and let Bai Qi go?"
"No, you don't go to take Lian Po, but to take Zhao Guo"
Bai Qi suddenly seemed to understand something: "What instructions does my king have?"
"Go back home, hold a big funeral, and tell the world that you have not been reused by the king for a long time, and you have been depressed for three years, and finally you are about to become depressed."
Bai Qi was puzzled, what was the king thinking about when Fan Ju was picked up and he was asked to handle the funeral.
"Then you rushed to Changping overnight, the widow secretly received your military power, commanded the army, Wang Di was the deputy marshal, and assisted you in breaking Changping" King Zhaoxiang's meaning Bai Qi was very clear, but in the face of Zhao Guo instead of Lian Po, Bai Qi was very puzzled.
"King, Bai Qi will not be afraid of Lian Po, and Bai Qi also wants to compete with him"
"The ability of Wu Anjun and Lian Po is well known to few people, but which is more important, a big victory or personal honor?"
Bai Qi seemed to understand: "Did the prime minister just say that he was going to step down from office also related to this matter?" ”
"Well, this matter, you and I know about the change of commander, in the army, you and Wang Yi and other cronies know, and the rest of the people, as long as you leak that you go to the army, the nine clans will be punished" Wang's tone was very sure.
At present, the two important ministers of the Qin State, one prime minister is about to step down, and the other is Wu Anjun to play dead, which can be described as the first big move.
In Zhao State, Guo Kai inquired about Bai Qi being seriously ill, and King Zhaoxiang personally visited Bai Qi, while in his own country, King Zhao Xiaocheng was drinking porridge and getting thinner and thinner: "How long will Changping fight this time?" It's been a long time since the widow didn't know the taste of meat."
Zhao Sheng knelt on the ground: "King, Lin Xiangguo has ......"
"What ......" porridge was sprinkled on the ground, and the king hurried out of the palace, and the attendants ate the grains of rice on the ground.
At present, in Zhao State, Lin Xiangru due to long-term overwork, coupled with the Changping War, food and nutrition are insufficient, which makes Xiangguo hateful and on the verge of the sky, Zhao Guo mourns the whole country: "Qin State has no Wu Anjun, and my Zhao State has also lost a good Xiangguo, so, what will I do in the future"
Zhao Sheng said: "King, now Zhao Guo has been dragged to death by Lian Po quickly."
Guo Kai was silent, but the king's heart was full of sorrow, and the horse's son Zhao Kuo came out: "The Zhao people have started to fight, and they are desperate, and now my Zhao people have been forced to a desperate situation, and the battle will be won."
Everyone's words, King Zhao Xiaocheng then calmed down for three points, and looked at the doctor Guo Kai on the side: "What does Doctor Guo think?"
"King, the defenders or the attackers, to be surveyed in practice, Shu Weichen can't assert, after all, it is a war for the survival of the country" Guo Kai said, King Zhao thought twice.
"The country can't be without a prime minister for a day, and today the widow will officially canonize Guo Kai as the prime minister and take charge of Zhao's internal affairs."
Guo Kai belongs to a person who has the right and left, so Guo Kai has become the minister of Zhao Guo, and everyone is convinced, and at present, except for Lin Xiangru, there is no one who can compare with his ability.
Guo Kai got the phase and returned home, at this time Fan Ju, the prime minister of the Qin State, was in his mansion, accompanied by Lu Buwei, there were many rare treasures, but Guo Kai was canonized Zhao Xiang, everyone already knows.
So it was a little embarrassing: "Since this is the case, Fan Ju will go back to his life"
"Where are you going?" Guo Kai asked.
"Now that Lord Guo is already Zhao Xiang, of course Fan Ju returned to Qin in vain"
"Your gift?"
Lü Buwei said with a smile: "This is the Qin people's filial piety to Guo Xiang"
Guo Kai smiled and said: "It's rare for your King Qin to appreciate Guo so much, it's hard to be gracious."
Fan Ju turned his head and was puzzled: "Master Guo, how can you say this?"
"I, Guo Kai, can be fortunate to be the prime minister of the two powerful countries, which is really a blessing for the three life cultivators" I only know that Guo Kai is greedy but I can't imagine that greed is like this, and he is tempted by the position of Xiangguo, since he has become Zhao Xiang, Qin Xiang's position has also been accepted.
Of course, Guo Kai is not a fool, he knows that in today's world, the strength of Qin and Zhao is in front of him, so he kept his opinion before, but he deliberately pretended to be calm in front of King Zhao.
Now that he has become Zhao Xiang, it will be easier to do things, and at this time, Guo Kai can be regarded as black and white.
"Zhao Kuozhi's father, Zhao Hao, and Guo are friends of life and death, without Zhao Hao back then, Guo Kai would not be able to become a doctor, so it must be Zhao Hao's job to propose to be handsome, and it can be regarded as repaying kindness, Guo is a person who knows how to repay his kindness" At the end of the words, Guo Kai picked up the rare treasure given to Yu by Fan Ju in his hand.
"Fan Ju will go back to his life"
"By the way, Fan Ju, Guo has one more thing to ask for"
"But it doesn't hurt to say"
"Qin Xiang is Guo, and you are the first minister, temporarily help Guo deal with the government affairs of Qin"
"Yes, Lord Guo" Fan Ju was very happy in his heart, he couldn't imagine that Guo Kai was so greedy and stupid, but of course Guo Kai didn't think so.
Guo Kai knows very well that Zhao is not defeated by Qin and Fan Ju is a smart person, if he does not offend Fan Ju, he is in Qin State, he can keep his position when he advances, and he can save his life when he retreats.
Guo Kai's wishful thinking played well, and in the Qin State, the scouts of King Zhao also heard that Bai Qi was seriously ill, and the Qin people did not want Bai Qi to have anything to do, if Ma Fujun's son Ma Fu Zi Zhao Kuo took the throne at this time, he was afraid that after Bai Qi was on the verge of the sky, the Qin State would be washed in blood, and the Qin State would be in danger if it went on.
In the palace of King Zhao, a meeting facing life and death is about to be held.
The ministers of Zhao Guo are all in place, and Zhao Kuo, the son of the horse, is also fully prepared.
In the state of Qin, the king was overjoyed, and asked Bai Qi to settle everything, and came to the Qin palace to see the king of Qin, at the moment, the door of the palace of the king of Qin was closed, and then Bai Qi and the king face to face.
In the palace, there were more than a dozen lamp oils, and three glasses of wine in front of the king of Qin, and then the king got up, turned around, knelt on the ground, and spilled the wine on the ground.
"The first toast was toasted to the Qin Gong of the past dynasties, and the foundation they laid was taken over"
"The second wine is to salute the first king Qin Huiwen, and the first king has revived the Qin kingdom to this day"
The king got up and walked to Baiqi: "The first cup of wine is the wine of foundation, the second cup of wine is the wine of revival, and the third cup of wine is the wine of triumph."
Bai Qi immediately prostrated himself and stuck to the ground: "Even if Bai Qi has a hundred heads, it is not enough to bow to my king's kindness, my king can rest assured, the battle of Changping, Bai Qi must win a big victory, and more than that, Bai Qi must stain Changping with blood, with the blood of the enemy, to pay tribute to the monarchs of my Qin State, as well as those soldiers who threw their heads and spilled blood, Bai Qi believes that the biggest victory in the Battle of Changping is not the surrender of the enemy, but the slaughter"
