Chapter 720: Lü Buwei's Suggestion (Second Update)
Zhao Guo, Handan City.
It is very interesting that the Korean envoys and the Qin envoys arrived at Handan City almost front and back.
"My Majesty, which messenger should I meet?" Zheng Zhu, who was in charge of diplomatic reception, naturally reported this matter to Zhao Dan and asked Zhao Dan to take the idea.
Zhao Dan pondered for a moment and made a decision very indifferently: "Let's leave Huayangjun dry for a few days first, the widow wants to see Wu Chengjun first." ”
An hour later, Zhao Dan met Lu Buwei.
Lu Buwei respectfully knelt down towards Zhao Dan, who was sitting on the top: "The minister has seen the king!" ”
Zhao Dan looked at Lu Buwei's head, which had almost dropped to the ground, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Wu Chengjun, as a courtier of the Qin State, you came on behalf of the King of Qin, but you made such a big gift to the widow, is it a little inappropriate?" ”
Lu Buwei said in his heart, if I don't do it, this etiquette may be over, how dare I not do it?
But his face was righteous and said to Zhao Dan: "King, although the minister is in the Qin State, he has never dared to forget the king's cultivation of the minister. The minister is a person of Zhao State, and death is a ghost of Zhao State, and everything he thinks in his heart is to be loyal to the king, please Mingjian! ”
Lu Buwei's words were full of emotion, and the whole person's eyes were red, and he looked like a brave and loyal courtier.
Regarding Lu Buwei's attitude, Zhao Dan just wanted to say that if it weren't for the widow being a traverser, then I'm afraid he would really believe you Lu Buwei.
The so-called politicians, first of all, the performance must be very good, otherwise it will be really difficult to do.
To put it simply, that is to be a "drama spirit".
Not wanting to be a good politician is not a good politician.
Judging from the records in the history books, Lü Buwei is undoubtedly a very famous drama spirit in this era.
Considering that Lü Buwei was born from a businessman, an industry known for his drama skills, Lü Buwei's acting level is estimated to be at the top level in this era, and perhaps even in thousands of years of Chinese history.
Every time after contact with Lü Buwei, Zhao Dan has a deeper and heartfelt recognition of this point.
Dealing with such a drama spirit, it is really unaware of being accidentally deceived.
However, Zhao Dan is not worried about Lu Buwei's acting at all, after all, Zhao Dan and Lu Buwei have common interests now.
Lü Buwei's eldest son and eldest daughter are now the companions and confidants of Zhao Heng, the crown prince of Zhao State, and the other is Zhao Heng's eldest lady.
Although the Lu family's current industries on the surface have all been transferred to the Qin State, in fact, the real essence is still in the Zhao State, but it has been transformed and appeared in other forms.
No alliance is stronger than one in which the interests of both sides are closely linked.
What's more, Lu Buwei has a handle in Zhao Dan's hands.
In the past few years, Hu Yiwei of Zhao State has infiltrated Qin State on a large scale under the cover of Lü Buwei, and the extent of this infiltration has expanded more and more with Lü Buwei's official position step by step.
Once this matter is revealed, no matter who sits on the throne of the Qin State, they will definitely kill Lü Buwei, a chaotic minister and thief who eats inside and out.
Therefore, Zhao Dan is fearless, and the smart Lu Buwei also understands this, and once again showed his loyalty to Zhao Dan through his words and actions just now, the purpose is to reassure Zhao Dan.
After a few innocent greetings between the two sides, Zhao Dan began to get to the point: "Lu Qing, this time the prince of Qin asked you to come, what is his purpose?" ”
As soon as he heard the title of Lu Qing, the smile on Lu Buwei's face suddenly became even richer, and he hurriedly said: "Back to the king, the reason why the prince of Qin sent his ministers here is mainly to ask for peace with the king, and to exchange the land of Hedong County occupied by the Qin State now for the Yin Jin City conquered by General Li Mu. ”
Zhao Dan nodded slightly, and after thinking for a while, he said, "I don't know what Lu Qing's opinion is on this proposal?" ”
Lu Buwei's heart jumped slightly when he heard this, knowing that Zhao Dan's real test was coming.
Just talking about not practicing fake tricks, although Lu Buwei keeps saying that he is loyal to Zhao Guo and Zhao Dan, he has to have practical actions to prove it to make people believe it.
Fortunately, Lu Buwei had already prepared for this, and immediately smiled calmly and said to Zhao Dan: "The king, in the opinion of the ministers, the king can either agree or not." ”
"Oh?" Zhao Dan raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "What does Lu Qing mean by this?" ”
Lü Buwei coughed and said, "The minister thinks that if the king's next strategic focus is on the Central Plains, then agreeing to Qin's peace at this moment is undoubtedly the best policy." As long as he made peace with Qin, then the king could draw the troops of General Li Mu from the Kunhan Pass east out of the Central Plains and launch an attack on Han Wei and other countries, so as to expand the results of the Central Plains. ”
Speaking of this, Lü Buwei paused and found that Zhao Dan didn't mean to speak, so he continued: "If the king wants to teach the Qin State a lesson, then he should not stop fighting with the Qin State now, but first defeat Wei, Qi, Han and other countries, and then mobilize a large army to go west to Hanguguan and directly approach Xianyang. If all goes well, it's not impossible to fight in the middle of the battle! ”
Zhao Dan listened to Lu Buwei's words, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face.
I have to say that as a great power to leave a name in the history books, Lü Buwei does have his ability, and he made it clear at once the two choices of Zhao Guo now.
But Zhao Dan still didn't say anything about this, but continued: "So which plan does Lu Qing think the widow should choose? ”
Looking at Zhao Dan's appearance, Lu Buwei's heart was somewhat drumming.
You must know that what he was talking just now, Lu Buwei has been observing Zhao Dan's expression, as long as Zhao Dan shows a little interest or disgust, Lu Buwei knows how to continue.
But Zhao Dan's expressionless appearance made Lu Buwei unable to observe anything at all, and this ability to figure out the intention was completely out of play.
Lu Buwei thought for a long time, and finally had a heartbeat, gritted his teeth and said: "Since the king has a life, then the minister will have the courage to sacrifice his ugliness." In the opinion of the ministers, the king should make peace with the Qin State and make every effort to pass through the Central Plains. ”
Zhao Dan sighed and said noncommittally: "Why is this? ”
Lü Buwei said: "Back to the king, the reason why the minister suggested this is because the main force of the king's central army is stationed in Handan, and Handan is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, so it naturally has excellent conditions for passing through the Central Plains. If you go to attack Guanzhong at the expense of the near and far, and do not mention the huge logistical pressure of the labor division, and the presence of a large army outside will inevitably lead to the emptiness of Handan's defense, it is also easy to be taken advantage of by the Shandong countries. It's better to take the Central Plains first, and then Xu Tu Guanzhong. ”
Zhao Dan glanced at Lu Buwei and continued to ask calmly: "If this is the case, then how should the Qin State solve it?" ”
Lu Buwei straightened up and said, "Although the minister is not talented, as long as he is still in the position of the prime minister of the Qin State for a day, the Qin State will definitely not become the enemy of the Zhao State!" ”
The subtext of Lü Buwei's sentence is actually that the Qin State will not drag the Zhao State back, and if Zhao Dan will unify the Central Plains before moving westward, then a mere Qin State will not be able to stop the Zhao State from destroying the other five states of Shandong.
When Zhao Dan heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he looked at Lu Buwei and said slowly: "If this is the case, then why did the prince of Qin State not listen to Lu Qing's words this time, and still insisted on going against the widow?" ”
A drop of cold sweat dripped from Lu Buwei's forehead, and he hurriedly explained: "Great King, the reason why this is so is because Cai Ze is a hindrance, as long as the king gives the minister some more time, the minister will definitely be able to get rid of Cai Ze, and when the time comes, the entire Qin State will be in the hands of the minister, and this battle will not happen." ”
Zhao Dan didn't speak immediately, but sat there quietly looking at Lu Buwei, his eyes were very calm, but Lu Buwei couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
You must know that Lu Buwei's words just now actually have his own selfishness in them, but this kind of selfishness can never be said to Zhao Dan now.
Could it be that this selfishness was discovered by Zhao Dan?
Just when Lu Buwei was sweating profusely and was already about to kneel, Zhao Dan finally spoke.
"Lu Qing, you did a good job, let's go down and have a good rest first."
Lu Buwei was immediately relieved when he heard this, and hurriedly stood up and bowed deeply to Zhao Dan, his tone was extremely sincere: "Minister, thank you for the king's praise, and then retire." ”
After Lu Buwei left, Mao Sui suddenly appeared beside Zhao Dan from a corner.
Miao Xian has completely retired, and Mao Sui has officially become Miao Xian's successor.
"Did the king really believe this man?" Mao Sui whispered to Zhao Dan: "According to the secret report of Hu Yiwei's eyeliner beside this person, Lu Buwei seems to be planning something. ”
Zhao Dan smiled and said, "It's okay, as long as it's harmless to the widow and Zhao Guo, just let him toss." ”
Mao Sui said: "The minister is worried about what he will do to damage the great cause of the king." ”
Zhao Dan laughed and said, "Mao Sui, you think too much." With the strength of the widow and then the Zhao State, even if there is no Lu Buwei as an internal response, the great cause of the widow will not stop because of this! ”
Zhao Dan's words were full of incomparable confidence.
