Chapter 12: The Messenger Wishes for Life
He instinctively sensed the danger, and he just wanted to stop it, but he heard King Qin laugh: "Wonderful, wonderful, the widow has long heard that the Son of Heaven Jiuding is the treasure of the Great Zhou, so it is better to take this opportunity to go to Zhou Wangji to play." ”
"The King." Zhu Liji hurriedly stepped forward and glared at Meng Ben, "Zhou Wangji is in Sanchuan County, which is the land of the Koreans, and our army must not provoke lightly." ”
"Great King, now that the Triple Alliance of Han, Zhao and Wei, I, the Qin State, must make a statement, otherwise the other princes will follow suit, and the second alliance will not be far away. If we can attack South Korea, give a warning to the six eastern countries, and then send people who can speak well to lobby other countries, we should be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort. Gan Mao also hurriedly stepped forward to talk.
"Warning the six countries, there is no need to attack South Korea, let alone challenge the prestige of Zhou Tianzi. Although Zhou Tianzi has existed in name only, but after all, he is the nominal co-lord of the world, if he provokes Zhou Tianzi, I am afraid that other princes will use this as a name, and they will be enemies of my Qin State. In particular, Zhao and Wei may directly send troops to intervene. He hurriedly argued.
"The king, the minister also dares to guarantee that even if the king is transported back to Jiuding from Zhou Wangji, the other princes will never dare to make irresponsible remarks, and they will not point fingers at the king. On the contrary, he admired the king. ”
"Admired? I don't know why Zuo Xiang has this idea? Could it be that everyone thinks that Zhou Tianzi should be deposed? ”
"No, no, Zhou Tianzi is just a fig leaf in the hearts of all the princes, and no one dares to be angry. If I, the Qin State, swept away Zhou Tianzi's face, all countries would naturally follow suit, how could I still be dissatisfied with the king? ”
"You!" He pointed at Gan Mao with his finger, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
"The king, the minister thought that he should first seek the Samcheon County of Korea, capture Yiyang, open the main road from Hangu Pass to the Six Eastern Kingdoms, and then occupy the Samcheon Prefecture. Since then, the king went to Zhou Wangji to admire Jiuding. Gan Mao didn't give him the slightest chance and continued to speak to the King of Qin.
"Great King, the minister thinks..."As soon as he wanted to speak, he saw King Qin wave his hand and signal to stop arguing. The heart of the disease felt cold, could it be that the king...
"This debate is nothing more than the question of whether to fight South Korea or not." King Qin turned around slowly and walked towards the main hall, "In fact, the widow has been thinking about this problem all the time. ”
When everyone heard this, their hearts chuckled, no one expected that this seemingly unscrupulous King of Qin was not completely unlearned, but also a person with a different city.
"Speaking of which, the Han, Zhao and Wei Three Kingdoms Alliance was also expected by the widow at the beginning, but at the beginning, Zhang Yi knew that I didn't like him very much, so he recommended himself to go to Wei and persuaded Wei to reconnect with my Qin State. And the widow also felt that with Zhang Yi's fame and the power of the Qin State, the King of Wei did not dare not agree. ”
"It's just that I didn't expect that Zhao Guo would make a hindrance from it and let the prince of Wei become this prime minister. This is unexpected, not only did the Qin State not benefit, but even the Qi State and the Chu State did not benefit from it, but they just cheapened the Zhao State for nothing. ”
And Zhang Yi did not get the position of Xiangbang, so he abducted Wei Zhang and lived in seclusion in Wei. The widow tried to ask for him several times, but he couldn't make it. Thinking that he had done his best for Qin Guo, this hatred faded. ”
"This three-nation alliance will definitely be unfavorable to our Qin State. Wei and Zhao had hoarded heavy troops in the land east of the river, and it was not easy to shake the momentum. On the contrary, South Korea has an opportunity. ”
When he heard King Qin say that he was still going to attack South Korea, he was anxious again, but he continued to say: "However, the right minister's concern is not unreasonable, attacking South Korea also needs to consider the interference of Zhao and Wei, and this matter must be cautious." ”
At first, Gan Mao heard that King Qin intended to support him, and was about to be happy, but when he saw that his tone changed, he seemed to change his support to Zhu Liji. However, he quickly calmed down, thought for a while, and then said respectfully: "If this is the case, please ask the king for his life." The minister was willing to go to Zhao and Wei to persuade them not to interfere in the actions of our Qin army. ”
"Zuo Xiang seems to feel that his eloquence is a hundred times better than Zhang Yi's, so he has such confidence." He was also dizzy by King Qin's inexplicable tone, but he quickly reacted and did not forget to be sarcastic.
Gan Mao obviously didn't want to pay attention to him, "The minister is willing to give it a try." It's just..."
"Just what?"
"It's just that the minister has a request." Gan Mao plucked up the courage to speak.
"What do you want, just say it."
"I hope that a person can accompany the minister."
"Who?"
Gan Mao raised his head and said word by word: "Xiang Shou." ”
"Zuo Xiang is really miserable." Xiang Shou sat in the carriage and looked at Gan Mao with a smile, "Xiang Shou is just a reckless man who leads the troops, and he has never been this envoy, why does Zuo Xiang want to let someone accompany Zuo Xiang to make an envoy?" ”
Gan Mao looked at Xiang Shou, and said with a wry smile: "There is no way, but apart from you, I'm afraid others don't have this ability." ”
"Oh?" Xiang Shou was shocked, he didn't expect Gan Mao to value himself so much, but why didn't he say it before? What's more, he Xiang Shou has always been close to Yu Li, this time Gan Mao visited him and invited himself to go with him, which made Xiang Shou unexpected.
"Don't worry, a certain nature invites you to come, and it is naturally useful." Gan Mao had a reassuring expression on his face.
"It naturally doesn't hurt to serve the Qin State." Xiang Shouying said: "It's just that I really don't know, why does Zuo Xiang have to accompany him?" I don't know how many people in the DPRK can speak well, but Xiang Shou is a rough man. ”
"Hey, hey." Gan Mao looked like he had succeeded in his treacherous scheme, "Don't you really know why you asked you to come?" ”
"I don't know."
"Then let me ask you, before you came, did anyone ask you to bring something to an old man's place in Zhao Kingdom?"
"This is nature." Xiang Shou didn't shirk either, and said generously, "It's the eighth son who asked him to bring some things to the young man who was a hostage in Zhao State, and he just went to visit by the way." ”
"Well, that's the purpose of so-and-so." Gan Mao smiled: "With your identity and me, it is naturally no problem to meet King Zhao, but it is even more difficult to convince King Zhao." ”
Xiang Shou looked at him with a wry smile, thinking to himself knowing that it was so difficult, you still pulled me, do you want a martyr.
"But the young man is different, his relationship with King Zhao is not ordinary."
Xiang Shou was stunned for a moment, and then thought: "King Zhao's wife of Chu State? ”
"Yes, yes." Gan Mao said, "What's more, you Xiang Shou is also from Chu and a relative of Ji Gongzi. If we can't persuade King Zhao to agree from the front, you and Ji Gongzi can go directly to this lady, and it will definitely have some effect. ”
"Wonderful, wonderful." Xiang Shou suddenly brightened, and Gan Mao really came prepared, "However, I heard that this lady doesn't seem to be favored." ”
"That's always a lot better than the relationship between you and me." Gan Mao said helplessly, "I just heard that this lady is beautiful, graceful, and amorous, and even more lovable, but I don't know why, but she is not favored by King Zhao?" ”
Mi Xi stood by the threshold, leaning lightly against the doors and windows, her water-cut eyes spreading spring love, but her eyes were staring at the moon, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Ma'am." The maid called from the side. But she didn't seem to hear it. She had no choice but to call again, and then she turned her head.
"What?"
"This is a gift from Ji Gongzi today, where do you think it should be placed?"
Mi Xi hesitated slightly, "Just put it aside, I'll pick one or two things tomorrow and go see He Gongzi." ”
The maid nodded, looked at Mi Xi with a look of disappointment, and said, "Madam, are you still thinking about that person in your heart?" Don't you know that the reason why the king is reluctant to come to see you is because he knows that your heart is not in Zhao Kingdom, but in Dachu. ”
