King Wei really couldn't stand Gan Mao's bewitchment, and when he heard that Zhao Yong had also promised the Qin State, he no longer acted coyly, and promised Gan Mao that he would never interfere in the Qin State's dispatch of troops.

Now that Wei and Zhao have agreed to this matter, Gan Mao can be regarded as having completed his heart and decided not to stop arguing and prepare to leave Wei.

Just before Gan Mao and Xiang Shou left Wei, an acquaintance found him.

Gan Mao is the left minister of Qin, and his identity is naturally noble, in the face of such an envoy, the king of Wei did not slack off, and specially prepared a good room for the left minister to rest. It also avoided Gan Mao and Xiang Shou from living together.

In this small room, Gan Mao and two other people sat in the middle, and on the bonfire in the middle, there was a leg of mutton. On top of the cases of the three of them, there were also some meat dumplings and other food, and it seemed that the food in Wei was good, at least for Gan Mao.

It's just that Gan Mao and the other two people's mood is not on these delicacies at all, but at the two of them, and the two of them also look at him, one of them shows a wry smile, and the other is careless. Gan Mao suddenly felt that there was no taste at all, and said helplessly: "I didn't expect that before leaving the Wei State, I would still see Xiangbang and the rhino head. It's a godsend. ”

Zhang Yi looked at Gan Mao with a wry smile, and coughed twice from time to time, "The position of Xiangbang, I'm afraid it's already yesterday, and now the Qin State is respected by the left minister." It should be a certain call, and the left phase is. ”

Gan Mao smiled, "Xiangbang is polite." Mao originally thought that he was going to leave tomorrow, but he was afraid that he would not see Mr. yet, but he didn't expect that Mr. would find him first. ”

Gongsun Yan frowned, and he was randomly soothed. However, Gan Mao's tone is a bit of a villain.

"I came to see Zuo Xiang this time, I'm afraid I can guess a few points."

"Even if it doesn't hit, it's not far away." Gan Mao said confidently, "Sir is here to hope that the king will forgive him for his sins. ”

Zhang Yi nodded, he never underestimated Gan Mao, and believed that Gan Mao had the ability to become King Qin's right-hand man. In fact, today's Gan Mao, both in terms of identity and status, is quite similar to himself back then, the same deeply supported by the King of Qin, the same non-Qin people, and the same current power. When he saw Gan Mao, he saw himself that day, which was the reason why Zhang Yi came here to find him.

On the same day, Zhang Yi left Qin as a special envoy of Qin, although the purpose was to escape, but nominally, he was still the prime minister of Qin. It was precisely because of this that the King of Qin was given the excuse to arrest him. Zhang Yi is a cautious person by nature, knowing that he can't escape this catastrophe, so he hopes to be able to talk to Gan Mao, with his current status, it is not impossible to persuade King Qin to give up.

"I don't know, what does Zuo Xiang think?"

"Forgiveness is really hard to follow." Gan Mao's answer was also dry. Now that he has become the left minister, he seems to be powerful, but in fact, the Qin clan headed by Zhu Liji is eyeing his position, and if he is not careful, I am afraid that he will never recover. At this juncture, if you persuade King Qin to give up his anger against Zhang Yi again, I am afraid that Zhu Liji and others, who have always been at odds with Zhang Yi, will fall even further.

Zhang Yi and the others had an expected expression, thinking that it was really right, Gan Mao was really cautious, and he was not so easy to be persuaded.

"As far as I know, Prime Minister Zuo came to Zhao Wei for the sake of South Korea." Gongsun Yan said casually, in fact, this matter is not a secret to the high-level of Wei, although Gongsun Yan has lost power, with his identity, it is not difficult to get this kind of news.

"It's nature." Gan Mao has now received the approval of the kings of the two countries, so he no longer conceals it, "The king of my family intends to enter Zhou Wangji to watch the Jiuding of the Son of Heaven, and between Zhou Wangji and Qin, there is also Sanchuan County in South Korea, especially Yiyang City. Weighing the pros and cons, the king of my family decided to raise troops to attack Yiyang, and then led the army to Zhou Wangji to watch Jiuding. As he spoke, he looked at Zhang Yi again, "Isn't this just what Mr. said back then?" ”

Indeed, Zhang Yi did put forward this proposition to King Qin Huiwen at the beginning, but it was rejected. Now Zhang Yi and Gongsun Yan, seeing that Gan Mao said such a major matter so lightly, either they have enough confidence in their hearts, or they are bluffing again. However, based on the views of the two of them, they both know that the first option is the most likely. In other words, as long as the Qin State sends troops, Yiyang will definitely fall into the hands of the Qin State.

"As soon as Qin Wangfu succeeded to the throne, he had such courage, which is really commendable." Gongsun Yan continued, "In this way, the position of leading the army general should be none other than the left minister. ”

"This... Matters that belong to the Qin State are difficult to answer. Gan Mao clarified, of course, he still felt in his heart that if he, the left minister and general, was not qualified to lead the troops to fight, I am afraid that there would be no one in the Qin State who was qualified to do so.

"Actually, it's not hard to guess." Zhang Yi continued, "The two people that King Qin trusts the most now are the left and right phases. The left minister is in the prime of life, and the right minister has always opposed the attack on Korea, and the king does not like it. ”

Although Gan Mao continued to refuse, the thoughts in his heart were similar to Zhang Yi.

"No, no, no." Gongsun Yan shook his head, "This matter is by no means so simple. What kind of person is the disease? is also a general, not an ordinary person, and is also known as a think tank in the Qin State, how can this matter be difficult for him? He sneered, "If the King of Qin doesn't use him as the commander, he will definitely recommend his own candidate in order to prevent the power of the left minister from becoming stronger." And this candidate, even if he attacks South Korea, will seek stability and not rush forward, I am afraid that if this battle continues, it will inevitably be a protracted war. When the time comes, when the king of Qin sees that Korea is so difficult to attack, he will definitely no longer insist on this matter, so the left minister who proposed this matter will definitely be implicated. ”

Gan Mao looked at Gongsun Yan suspiciously, wondering what the other party meant. However, what Gongsun Yan said is not impossible. Gan Mao knows very well the ability of the disease, and if he uses this to resolve the current disadvantage, this is the only way to go. But would he really do that?

"I'm afraid what the rhino head said is alarmist." Gan Mao smiled and shook his head, "Although Mao is the left minister of the Qin State, he does not have the intention of coveting power. The right minister is not only the Bole of Mao back then, but also the noble relatives of the Qin family, and he is a talented person. If the king ordered him to attack Korea, he would naturally have nothing to say. I also believe that the right minister will definitely focus on the overall situation and will not hurt the interests of our Qin State. ”

Zhang Yi and Gongsun Yan glanced at each other, and both of them could see that Gan Mao seemed to be insincere.

"The benevolence and righteousness of the left prime minister should be the position of the prime minister. At the beginning, a certain was in the Qin State, and he was deeply favored by the previous king, and his ideas coincided with Zuo Xiang. thought that as long as he could concentrate on assisting the Qin State, he would definitely be able to learn in the first battle and be accepted by others. Zhang Yi said.

"It's just that as soon as the first king died, the current King of Qin was disgusted with me, which is really chilling." Saying that, Zhang Yi said with emotion: "It's a pity, if someone can be like Zuo Xiang, who is favored by the current King of Qin, he will never fall into such a situation." It's really embarrassing. ”

"Having said that, even if that's true, I'm afraid you Zhang Yi may not be much better. For example, he was also favored by the first king, and the Qin and Chu wars were also very successful, and they made great contributions. Now, it's just that because he doesn't agree with King Qin's concept, he is alienated, and I have to say, it's a bit ironic. Gongsun Yan sneered, "At this point, he is really far behind the previous king. ”

"Rhinoceros cautious!" Gan Mao naturally knew that the two of them were not good, and he could bear it before, but now that Gongsun Yan slandered Qin Wangdang, he couldn't help but be angry.

"Why should the left minister be angry?" Gongsun Yan said unhurriedly, "You and I both know that although the current King of Qin is frolicking, he is not a person without opinions, and his political scheming is not at the mercy of others. Now that he is going to attack South Korea, he uses you Gan Mao as his appearance, but he only says that he means it, so that you and Zhu Li Ji are opposed. But once the general leads his troops to the battle, Zhu Liji and others will slander you in front of the King of Qin and make you ruined. When the time comes, where should the left minister go? ”

"It's a big deal, it's just that the person who leads the troops. Even if he makes a big deal, he will definitely not threaten a certain position. Speaking of which, in fact, Gan Mao was no longer calm, and gradually fell into the thinking of Zhang Yi and Gongsun Yan.

"If this is really the case, a certain persuasion of the left minister should not leave the Wei State. It is better to accompany a certain flower viewing and moon viewing here, than to Xianyang, and you can no longer escape this tragedy. Zhang Yi continued to bewitch.

Although Gan Mao is quite talented, he has also fallen into a situation where he cannot extricate himself under the verbal bewitchment of Zhang Yi and Gongsun Yan. He seems to realize that at this point, no matter how he goes, he will be doomed, and this is not to improve his personal power at all, but to cocoon himself.

"Please help you too." Finally, Gan Mao no longer insisted, like Zhang Yi and the two lowered their heads, Zhang Yi glanced at Gongsun Yan, thinking to himself, the purpose of this trip has finally been achieved.

Early the next morning, Gan Mao found Xiang Shou and asked him to return to Qin first and inform the King of Qin about the envoy, but it was not appropriate to attack Korea at this moment. Although Xiang Shou was puzzled, he left first according to Gan Mao's request.

Looking at the fast horse in the distance, Zhang Yi, who was standing on the top of the city wall, breathed a sigh of relief, but he also took in a breath of cool air, and immediately coughed. The boy next to him hurriedly stepped forward to help.

"Oh, sir, you're vomiting blood." Seeing Zhang Yi coughing up a mouthful of bloody phlegm, the child shouted out in panic.

Zhang Yi was taken aback at first, but when she saw that this was indeed the case, her heart dimmed a little. Gongsun Yan, who was on the side, also walked over, looked at Zhang Yi's unrelenting appearance, and sighed: "You are already terminally ill, but why do you insist on not wanting to go to Zhao State for treatment?" I'm afraid that the only person who can cure your illness now is Bian Que beside King Zhao. ”

Zhang Yi shook his head and muttered, "No, if you go to Zhao State, I'm afraid you will never be able to return to Wei State." The little boy next to him was a little puzzled, could he stay in Zhao State, with Zhang Yi's fame, couldn't he still get an official and a half position?

Only Gongsun Yan knew that Zhang Yi was afraid that he would die in Zhao if he went to Zhao State, no matter what he did to Wei State, his heart was still in Wei State. I just wanted to laugh at it, but I thought that if I stayed in the Wei State, even if I didn't want to be favored, I wouldn't leave, wasn't it the same situation as Zhang Yi?
