The conversation between the two was extremely strange.

Zhao Jia was talking about state affairs, but Lü Buwei was always talking about the banquet, as if the two were not in the same space at all.

Zhao Jia was not led by Lu Buwei, and still talked to himself.

He was confident that when he finished talking about things, Lu Buwei would definitely not continue to be so indifferent.

"Qin sent 200,000 troops to attack Zhao, how much grain, grass and manpower do you need to consume before and after, and how much territory can Zhao State capture when Zhao State resists with all its strength and has foreign aid?"

Lu Buwei's eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn't answer, still pouring himself wine.

Zhao Jia didn't care, got up and walked to the map in the house, and pointed his finger at the junction of Qin and Zhao.

"The Qin State attacked Zhao for nothing more than the city."

"Just as Lu can persuade the King of Qin to quit his army, I, Zhao State, am willing to cede the three cities of Pingtao, Daling, and Jiaoyang to Qin State."

Lu Buwei, who was originally careless, finally raised his eyelids when he heard this.

He put his eyes on the map, and then said in a deep voice: "Pingtao, Daling, and Jiaoyang are the gateways to the western part of Jinyang, and if Zhao State ceded these three cities, isn't it afraid that Qin State will take Taiyuan County of the entire Zhao State on this basis?" ”

The three cities of Pingtao, Daling and Jiaoyang are located at the foot of Shaoyang Mountain, and the geographical location is extremely important.

This time, Meng Fu led 200,000 troops to attack Zhao, and he also had a headache for these three cities.

If Zhao Guo loses these three cities, the entire Taiyuan County will be like a little girl who has stripped naked, and can be kneaded by Qin State.

Therefore, after Lu Buwei heard Zhao Jia's conditions, he was so surprised.

Zhao Jia said with a straight face: "Changping was defeated, Zhao is no longer able to compete with Qin, and the court of Zhao is only willing to form an alliance with Qin Yong, and cede the three cities of Pingtao, Daling, and Jiaoyang, also to express sincerity to Qin!" ”

"I hope Lu Xiangwon't be suspicious."

"Besides, now that the Qin State is strong and the Zhao State is weak, how dare the Zhao State deceive and play tricks on the Qin State?"

"As long as the king of Qin agrees not to send troops to attack Zhao, he will return to Handan immediately, and let Wang's father write his own letter of state and cede these three cities."

Looking at Zhao Jia's sincere and humble attitude, Lu Buwei's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he laughed.

If Zhao Guo can really cede these three cities, it will be a big temptation.

But soon, Lu Buwei restrained the smile on his face and showed a look of embarrassment.

"My Qin State is not only better with Zhao State, but also with Yan State is a friendly country, this time Zhao State attacked Yan, Yan State envoy asked for help from my king, my king has promised to send troops to help Yan State, if this time goes back on his word, where is my king's face?"

When Zhao Jia heard this, he secretly sneered in his heart.

In the eyes of the Qin State, there is no friendship and integrity, but a thorough interest.

Lu Buwei said this, but it was just because of Zhao Jia's conditions, and he didn't really impress the other party.

What's more, this battle has been planned by the Qin State for a long time.

Now that Qin Prince Chu and Qin Prime Minister Lu Buwei have not been in power for a long time, it is obviously the best choice to consolidate the power in their hands and launch a large-scale war.

The three important cities did interest Lü Buwei, but they were not enough to satisfy the greedy Qin State.

Zhao Jia had already understood this, so he didn't take Lü Buwei's words at all, but continued: "On behalf of Zhao State, I can promise to Lü Xiang that as long as Qin State gives up sending troops to attack Zhao State, I, Zhao State, will not only cede the three cities of Pingtao, Daling, and Jiaoyang to show closeness. ”

"I will also promise that no matter how many Yan Kingdom cities Zhao State captures, half of them will be given to Qin State."

"Lu Xiang tried to imagine that if Zhao captured twenty cities in Yan State, as long as Qin State promised not to attack Zhao with troops, he could obtain thirteen cities without spending a single soldier."

"With such a splash of credit, Lu Xiangke can still see it?"

When Lu Buwei heard this, his always leisurely face finally showed other expressions, and his eyes were also shining.

But soon, Lu Buwei's eyelids drooped again, and he shook his head and said: "It's a pity, Yan State is too far away from Qin State, even if Zhao State is willing to dedicate half of the city it has obtained to Qin State, it is just an enclave, and it is extremely difficult to govern." ”

Zhao Jia laughed and said, "Don't worry about Lu Xiang. ”

"If the Qin State is unwilling to obtain an enclave, the Zhao State is willing to exchange the city bordering the Qin State."

Zhao Jia came out of the conditions here, and Lu Buwei had nothing to say, and no one could resist this temptation.

Lu Buwei, after all, still revealed the profit-seeking nature of a businessman, and asked bluntly: "So how many Yan Kingdom cities does the prince think Zhao Guo can capture?" ”

Zhao Jia replied without hesitation: "Now that Zhao is strong and Yan is weak, as long as the Qin State does not send troops to help the Yan State, the general will be able to capture at least thirty Yan State cities!" ”

Looking at Zhao Jian's categorical appearance, Lu Buwei also got up and walked back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back.

After a long time, he said, "I have to say, your conditions have moved me." ”

"It's just that the 200,000 army has almost been assembled, and the whole Qin State has been fighting hard for several years, if Ben Xiangxiang suggests a truce at this time, I'm afraid it will offend many Qin generals."

When Zhao Jia heard this, he smiled and said: "Jia has a plan, which can solve Lu Xiang's worries." ”

Lu Buwei's eyes showed a curious look, and he said loudly: "Speak!" ”

Zhao Jia took a deep breath and said: "Now that Zhao and Wei are attacking Yan together, Wei is empty, and it coincides with the envoy of Yan asking Qin for help. ”

"In this way, the Qin State can not only get benefits from the Zhao State, but also get the gratitude of the Yan State, and can also capture the land of the Wei State and block the mouths of many military generals of the Qin State, isn't it beautiful."

When Lu Buwei heard this, even if he had always been scheming, his eyes showed a joy that could not be concealed.

The Qin State only promised the Yan State to send troops to rescue it, but it did not say which country it would attack, and now attacking the Wei State can be regarded as helping the Yan State.

Looking at Lu Buwei's appearance, Zhao Jia added fire again: "Lu Xiangruo is still not at ease, Jia can let people drag the Wei State and the Yan army, without my Zhao State's consent, the Wei State and the Yan army will not want to return to China." ”

"In this way, how can the empty Wei State in the country stop the Ruishi of the Qin State!"

Zhao Jia's words finally moved Lu Buwei completely.

If things really develop according to what Zhao Jia said, Qin will first gain many cities in Zhao without blood, and will easily capture many territories of Wei.

No one can resist such a huge temptation.

"If this is the case, the prime minister can persuade the king to abandon Zhao and attack Wei, but I don't know if Zhao will keep his promise."

Zhao Jia lowered his head, his face showing humility and flattery.

"With the strength of the Qin State, how dare I, the Zhao State, break the promise, after the matter is completed, I will definitely present the city that the Qin State deserves."

"Jia Yewang, it's good for Zhao Guoneng to form an alliance with Qin Guoyong!"
