Chapter 11 The crowd conspires to discuss the matter ahead

"You've seen it, so let's share your opinions. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Sitting behind the bookcase, a middle-aged man with eyes like torches and extremely majestic asked the three people who were about his age sitting in front of him.

This person is the King of Qin, and the three people sitting in front of him, on the left is Xiangguo Lu Ziren, in the middle is the general Wang Dang, and on the right is his own adviser, or the minister Fang Ping.

Lu Ziren, the prime minister of the Qin State on the left, looked at the letter in his hand and fell into deep thought, it can be seen that for Gou Yue's trip to the alliance, both inside and outside the court feel nothing, and he is very confident, and he can definitely succeed, but now it seems that the situation is not optimistic, Lu Ziren glanced at King Qin, and was thinking deeply in his heart.

However, as a general, Wang Dang thought differently, he thought differently, he thought that for the Qin State, the conditions of the Qi State were very harsh for them, especially for the Qin State, the southern part of Chu was very important to the Qin State, and the Qi State wanted this place, which was nothing more than an eye medicine for the Qin State, and it seemed that the Qin State was very cunning this time. The royal party should think carefully about these things.

As a strategist relied on by King Qin, Fang Ping repeatedly looked at the things in his hand several times, and he felt that these conditions were nothing more than a matter of sitting on the ground and paying back the money on the spot. Of course, there were some conditions that made him find funny, especially the borrowing of soldiers and marriages, but as a strategist, he still smelled something unusual. What Qi Guo might be planning, what it is, he still has to think about it.

"Why don't you speak, you all said that it was foolproof above the court at the beginning, and Qi Guo would definitely agree, but now? They put forward different conditions... King Qin looked at the three people in front of him with some annoyance and said.

"The king is angry, in Yichen's opinion, Qi Guo's proposal of such a high condition is nothing more than wanting to have more capital to sit down and negotiate, and now Qin is strong and Qi is weak. However, I, Daqin, are facing this Tang and Chu coalition army, and now the Qi State is just going to get more benefits. Xiangguo Lu Ziren was sitting in a precarious position, and said to King Qin without humility or arrogance. For Lu Ziren, in the Qin State, he is also under one person and above ten thousand.

"Hmph, get more capital, according to the widow's opinion, it is not true, Qi Guo dares to put forward such conditions with us, so he is ready for the alliance to be unsuccessful, Qi Guo asked the widow to ask for 50,000 elite soldiers and the third princess, this is to test the bottom line of the widow." King Qin snorted coldly at the three of them, and his gaze swept at the three of them.

No, not to mention, the King of Qin is now more than forty years old, he is in the prime of life, majestic and courageous, and he has his own opinions on everything, and the opinions of the ministers in the court are just a proper reference, and there are not many people who can influence the decision of the King of Qin.

"The king, even if the Qi Kingdom is testing the king's bottom line, I think they also expect the king to let the third princess marry the Qi country. However, about borrowing troops, it is the key for them to test us, and Qi wants to test whether we will really form an alliance with them. Lu Ziren paused, ignoring Wang Dang and Fang Ping, and continued to say to Qin Guo, he thought that these reasons were all related to the survival plan of Qi State.

King Qin nodded, he did not deny Lu Ziren's statement, but the conditions of the Qi State were too infuriating. King Qin turned his gaze to Wang Dang and Fang Ping, and said lightly: "If we don't ally with the Qi State, we may be attacked by Tang Chu's relative concentration in the future, and it is possible that even the Gao and Wang by the river will also participate, and after joining the Qi State, it will reduce our pressure." King Qin stood up, paced with his hands in his hands, and expressed his worries.

"King, regarding the southern part of Chu, we will definitely not be able to cede the Qi State in the future, the three major granaries of the Chu State are all there, and the south is relatively rich, so we must not give it to the Qi State." General Wang Dang said.

"The general is right, grain and grass are very important to us, what do you think of Xiangguo in your opinion?" King Qi asked Lu Ziren directly.

"Great King, I think the purpose of the Qi State is by no means the southern part of Chu, it depends on them where they want, but as long as it is not the south, we can all agree, anyway, after that, the Qi State will also return to Qin. Lu Ziren raised his own objections and also showed his confidence in the Qin State.

"Lord Xiangguo is right, Qi Guozhi is not in the south of Chudi, but in Chushui." Fang Ping smiled slightly.

"Oh? Chu Shui? Lu Ziren was slightly stunned, Wang Dang's eyes were focused, and he nodded slightly.

"You say Chu Shui? On what basis? King Qin asked.

"Judging from the conditions proposed by Qi Guo, they obviously know that we will definitely not cede to the southern part of Chudi, so their purpose is Chu Shui, because from Chu Shui, they can directly send troops to approach our Great Qin, so as to achieve the purpose of containing my Great Qin. I guess that King Qi wants to marry the third princess in order to strengthen the alliance, otherwise it will not be proposed separately in the conditions. Fang Ping looked at King Qin and told the reason for his analysis in front of Lu Ziren and Wang Dang.

"Oh? According to your analysis, it is not impossible, Wang Dang, what do you think? King Qi agreed with Fang Ping's analysis, and instead asked the strategic question to the more professional general Wang Dang.

"The minister thinks that what Fang Shi said is right, from the geographical point of view, if the purpose of Qi is really Chu Shui, then they should be for the sake of the soldiers to point out to me Daqi." Wang Dang said succinctly.

King Qin frowned, although he basically understood what was going on, he was still a little uneasy.

After hearing Fang Ping's analysis, Lu Ziren turned to smile and said to King Qin: "Great King, the Qi State is really a good calculation, it seems that they really want to ally with my Great Qin, but they are afraid that we will not be good for the Qi State, so they came up with these three conditions. ”

"Oh? How so? King Qi wondered.

Fang Ping looked at Lu Ziren for a moment, and then said with the same smile: "Xiangguo's eyes are like torches." ”

Lu Ziren knew that this was Fang Ping's deliberate refusal, and he must have thought of this according to Fang Ping's level of ability, but he didn't say it, leaving it to himself, sometimes this is a very advanced knowledge. Lu Ziren smiled at Fang Ping.

"First, the Qi State took great pains to want Chu Shui in order to prevent our Qin State from not keeping its promise after the alliance; Second, the marriage between Qi and Qin can make the alliance more solid; Third, borrowing 50,000 soldiers is actually a kind of hostage in disguise, once we don't keep our promises, the Qi State will talk about these soldiers, and then the soldiers in our Great Qin will be in an uproar. Therefore, it seems that Qi both wants an alliance and is afraid of an alliance. If there are these three conditions, it is actually equivalent to three layers of insurance, in fact, the purpose of Qi is to protect their interests in the alliance. Lu Ziren explained at length to King Qin.

After thinking about it for a long time, the four of them finally figured out the true purpose of Qi State, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. As long as Qi wants to form an alliance.

"My lord, I don't know how to reply to them." Lu Ziren asked appropriately. No matter how wonderful the analysis is, the final decision is in the hands of King Qin.

King Qin thought for a moment and said: "Although we understand the purpose of the Qi State, but we can't fully agree with them, my Great Qin is not so easy to deal with, just reply to Gou Yue, except for the southern part of the Chu State, as long as the other regions are not excessive, they will agree, anyway, sooner or later, it will be my Great Qin, as for borrowing troops, at most five thousand, love or not, the marriage is not in a hurry in advance, wait for the widow to ask the third princess." ”

"King, it's not proper, five thousand is too little, I'm afraid that Qi State will not agree, at most give up to 10,000, this is the bottom line, let Gou Yue talk about it with five thousand first, please decide immediately about this marriage, the minister replied to Gou Yue at one time, the alliance can not be delayed any longer, there is a report today, Tang Chu has 20,000 troops stationed at the border." Fang Ping was a little embarrassed and admonished King Qin.

"This... Third princess, wait a little longer. King Qin couldn't wipe his face, the third princess was his favorite princess, to be honest, he didn't want to marry the third princess to King Qi.

Fang Ping saw that Lu Ziren and Wang Dang looked embarrassed, and then said further: "King, for the sake of the century-old foundation of Great Qin, I think the third princess will agree, King, you can't have children at a critical moment." ”

King Qin stood with his sleeves brushed, still reluctant to speak. The three of them looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

After a long time, King Qin sighed softly and said: "The widow agrees to come down first, but let Gou Yue talk to me, if you can change one, you will change one, and you will never let go until the end." ”

"The king, no matter which princess it is, she is the child of the king, how can the king..." Fang Ping's voice gradually became smaller and smaller.

"That's enough, you guys go back, that's all for today." King Qin was a little angry, left them alone, and left directly.

..。

"Xiangguo, what do you think of the things mentioned in Gou Yue's letter?" After leaving, Fang Ping said to Lu Ziren with a smile.

"I don't understand, I don't understand." Lu Ziren shook his head and said.

"To be honest, I don't understand it either.." Fang Ping agreed with Lu Ziren's statement.

"You two, you talk first, I'll go first." The general Wang Dang arched his hand towards Lu Ziren and Fang Ping and said.

"The general is good to go." The two of them said in unison.

"Brother Fang, this time there is a master in Qi Country to guide you." Lu Ziren said guessingly.

Fang Ping nodded, and said with a smile: "These three stones are one bird, and the Qi Kingdom can be regarded as a good calculation, they did not come according to the original conditions, which means that they know that the original conditions are simply not the benefits of being able to get their hands on them." Now reaping the real benefits is their goal. ”

"Brother Fang, if you want me to say, we are commenting on this person who gave advice to Qi Guo, and he may also be thinking about how to deal with Gou Yue now." Lu Ziren deliberately joked.

"Haha, if I have the opportunity, I really want to meet people here, and I can think of such conditions as a talented and wise person. Ordinary people dare to think of the first one, talented people dare to think of the second, and only wise people can think of the third. Our king is angry now. Fang Ping whispered to Lu Ziren.

"No wonder, the third princess, hehe, this is the king's heart, marry the third princess, this is pulling teeth in the tiger's mouth." Lu Ziren didn't know how the people of Qi came up with it.

They would never have imagined that Chen Zichen had traveled to the Qin State and knew a lot about many places and things in the Qin State.

As the saying goes: only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win a hundred battles.
