Xiang Shou returned to Qin and conveyed the envoy to the king of Qin, saying that Gan Mao did not think it was appropriate to attack Korea at this time.

This made King Qin a little annoyed, he was the one who proposed to attack Korea, and other countries agreed to this meeting, and said no, isn't this playing tricks on me? Just about to give the order to arrest Gan Mao. Xiang Shou was bewitched by Gan Mao before he came, saying that if he could help him get out of trouble, all the credit would be his. So, he had the courage to suggest that the King of Qin go to meet Gan Mao first and listen to his opinion before making a decision.

I have to say that although Qin Wangdang is powerful, he still has a certain political ideology. He naturally wanted to go to Zhou Wangji to see Jiuding, and this matter was opposed by people from the Qin clan such as Zhu Liji. If it were another reckless monarch, I am afraid that all voices would have been abandoned long ago, and only according to their own interests.

However, Qin Wangdang did not do this, he wanted to fulfill his wish, but he did not want to cause turmoil in the country. can only rely on Gan Mao and his forces to support himself to do this, which proves that the probability of success is very high. Only then did he have a reason not to listen to the opinions of Zhu Liji and others. Now, both Zhao and Wei have acquiesced to this matter, if Gan Mao retreats again, won't his ideas die?

After thinking about it, he finally decided to listen to Xiang Shou's advice and go to meet Gan Mao's team first, and then make a decision.

It can be seen from this that Qin Wangdang is a monarch whose ideals are above all else, and for the sake of his own ideals, he can not even save face. For this alone, Qin Wangdang was much stronger than other princes of his time.

Qin Wangdang personally led his troops to the junction of Qin and Wei, and finally met Gan Mao in Xiyang. The King of Qin pretended to be very angry and questioned Gan Mao, and Gan Mao used the example of his great-mother's suspicious son and Le Yang's attack on Zhongshan, and Chen expressed his worries.

"The king, when Leyang attacked Zhongshan, Wei Wenhou did not listen to the slander of hundreds of officials, and insisted on appointing Leyang, so that Zhongshan would die; Although Zeng's mother knew Zeng Shen's temperament, she inevitably said it three times and suspected her son of murder. In the face of such facts, the minister had to be cautious. ”

"The left minister is worried that the widow listens to the slander of others and frames the gentleman? No, the widow will never be like this, Mr. is too worried. Qin Wangdang was obviously very confident in himself. In his opinion, apart from Gan Mao, he will not trust others.

"Naturally, the minister does not dare to doubt the king." Gan Mao said cautiously, "It's just that although Yiyang is a county, its solidity alone is no less than that of a county. The minister is far away from the front line, and the traitor is on the king's side, and the minister really does not dare to entrust this matter with his life. ”

Qin Wangdang didn't care, "In this case, the widow is willing to swear an oath with Mr. here, Mr. only fights on the front line, and the widow will never doubt Mr. with this, how so?" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gan Mao knew that it was very rare to be able to let Qin Wangdang do this, so he didn't dare to expect anything else.

"In addition, the minister has one more thing to show to the king."

"Speak, but there is something to ask, and the widow will not allow it." Qin Wangzhi said proudly.

"Xiangbang Zhang Yi was terminally ill and unable to follow his subordinates to come, so he specially ordered his subordinates to confess to the king, hoping to be able to raise in Wei for a period of time and then return to Xianyang."

When King Qin heard this, his face turned cold. He didn't like Zhang Yi, but he couldn't say that he didn't care about Zhang Yi's escape to Wei without permission, which involved the dignity of Qin. If everyone follows Zhang Yi's example, I'm afraid it won't be long before I become a loner.

Gan Mao carefully observed King Qin's complexion, knowing what he had been thinking about, although he promised Zhang Yi to say something for him, he also knew that this matter was not easy, especially at this moment, he must not talk nonsense. Otherwise, the life saver I just asked for for myself would be over.

"Zhang Yi is indeed terminally ill and has no cure?" King Qin Tie blushed and asked sullenly.

"Whether there is no cure or not, I don't know. After all, there are many talented people in the world. But he was indeed terminally ill, and when he said the last sentence, he coughed intermittently two or three times, and every time he coughed, he was bloodshot, and his appearance was very terrifying. This is known to the whole Wei State. ”

King Qin nodded, knowing that Gan Mao did not have the slightest intention of interceding for him, but just told the truth. In terms of Zhang Yi's condition, he will not lie at all, otherwise as long as he listens a little, he will know the truth and the truth, and the most unfortunate thing is that Xiang Shou has just returned from Wei, and he should also know a thing or two. In other words, Zhang Yi is really terminally ill.

"Isn't there anyone in Wei to treat him?"

"Although the King of Wei is very wary of Zhang Yi, after all, he is the envoy of my Qin State, and he definitely does not dare to slack off, and he also invites famous doctors, but he shakes his head and thinks that there is no cure. Gongsun Yan once suggested that Bian Que be invited for treatment, but he refused. ”

"Oh, why is that? Bian Que's medical skills are exquisite, and he must be able to treat his disease. ”

"This, the minister doesn't know. Presumably Zhang Yi has resentment towards Zhao Guo. Gan Mao said ambiguously.

"What do you mean?"

"After all, Zhang Yi was once the prime minister of the Qin State, and if he accepted the gift of King Zhao, he would definitely bring shame to the Qin State. It was a selfish guess from the minister, this should be Zhang Yi's idea. ”

King Qin paced, as if he was weighing what Gan Mao said, there was some credibility, and he had to weigh how to deal with this matter. Gan Mao could only stay by his side silently, and he just said in his heart that he hoped Zhang Yi would have good luck.

Zhang Yi's luck is really good.

"Zhang Yi has been running for my Qin country all his life, and he is terminally ill at the moment, if the widow forcibly lets him come back, I am afraid that others will have to talk a lot again."

"What's more, if his people stay in the Wei State, they can also be prophetic in their knowledge of the movements of the Wei State and other princes in our Qin State. Let's just let him stay in Wei. The previous matter is not pursued by the widow. ”

"Yes."

"In any case, this battle of Yiyang, the widow will entrust Mr."

"No"

In the autumn of the second year of Qin Wangdang, Qin Wangdang appointed Zuo Xiang Gan Mao as the commander to lead the army and attack Yiyang, South Korea. For a time, because of the short-lived peace brought about by the Qin-Chu War, it was broken.

The Koreans naturally knew that it was difficult to resist the all-out attack of the Qin State with their own strength, but Yiyang was an important city in South Korea, an important passage to control the eastward direction of the Qin State, and also the forefront of the Korean resistance to Qin. After consulting with his subordinates, Han Wangcang decided to ask for help from Zhao and Wei.

Zhang Ping looked at the top of the hall, Zhao Yong's frowning brows, and his heart also beating, and he didn't even dare to make a sound, lest he disturb Zhao Yong, who was thinking. This young gentleman is a person who is very deep in the city, and few people can guess his thoughts, but Zhang Ping is also an old friend of Zhao Guo, and this time he will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort.

"Mr. came from Xinzheng, and the journey was dusty, and it must have been very bumpy." Zhao Yong suddenly asked.

"Thank you, King." Zhang Ping hurriedly responded, "Now that South Korea is in the midst of water and fire, if you are not careful, you will be annexed by the tiger and wolf Qin. ”

"The heart of the messenger should be admired by the widow." Zhao Yong said, "But what the envoy said, I'm afraid Zhao Guo can't do anything." ”

Zhang Ping looked at everyone in the hall with a disappointed face, in fact, they are all very familiar people, it can be said that these people are the core figures of Zhao State, but at this moment, no one stood up to oppose it, which at least shows one problem, that is, Zhao State has reached an agreement on sending troops.

Zhang Ping suddenly remembered that not long after he came to Handan, he heard that Gan Mao, the left minister of the Qin State, had come to Handan not long ago, although he didn't know what he was doing, but he vaguely felt that it seemed to be related to this matter.

Could it be that Qin and Zhao have already reached an agreement to sacrifice Korea?

"I heard that not long ago, Gan Mao, the left minister of Qin, once came to Handan." Zhang Ping said without any hindrance, "I wonder if the king summoned this person?" ”

Zhao Bao snorted coldly, "This is a state affair of Zhao State, and the envoy asked from this, is it too lenient?" ”

"Although it is a state affair of Zhao State, it is also a matter of South Korea." Zhang Ping is neither humble nor arrogant, "A certain guess is that the reason why Zhao Guo did not agree to this matter should be that he and Qin Guo reached some kind of agreement in private." ”

"What do you mean by messenger?" Zhao Yong's words were cold, obviously angry.

"Does the king dare to say that there is no such thing?" Zhang Ping craned his neck, also a little resentful. You must know that it was Zhao who invited the Three Kingdoms Alliance at the beginning, and now it is Zhao who betrays Korea.

"Emissary, watch your tone." Zhao Yong said with a cold face, "Any decision made by Zhao State is for the benefit of Zhao State, not Qin State, and this will never change." ”

"Even if it's a betrayal of Korea?"

"Not bad."

"In that case, then I would be presumptuous." Zhang Ping stood up, "I will return to Xinzheng immediately, and the king of Yuming will say that Zhao Guo has no faith in his words, and he has long forgotten the oath of the alliance, so I should wait to take refuge in the Qin State." So saying, he prepared to walk away.

"Wait." Zhao Yong's voice came from behind.

Zhang Ping's heart froze, and he didn't turn around, and said abruptly, "What's the matter with the king?" ”

"The envoy will leave here, I'm afraid King Han will also be dissatisfied with the envoy."

"Do you want to stay and listen to the king's humiliation of Korea? South Korea isn't so lowly. ”

"Not necessarily." Zhao Yong said with a smile.
