Chapter 12: Is It So Innocuous and Existential?
"Did the occultation fail?"
The news in Daliang City crossed thousands of miles and fell into the Prime Minister's Mansion in Xianyang City.
LΓΌ Buwei casually threw the bamboo slip in his hand and threw it into the furnace.
"The net failed, but Xiangbang doesn't seem to care?"
In front of Lu Buwei, a man bowed and stood.
"The way of assassination, although it has miraculous effects, is a small way after all. The net is a sharp weapon, but it can't be put on the table. The countries are united and intent on attacking Qin. If the armies of the six countries really came west, they wouldn't be able to stop it for long with the few swords that relied on the net. β
LΓΌ Buwei took a few steps forward and then stopped.
"It's just that the timing is too coincidental. Lis, what do you think these people are for? β
"Si boldly said that some of them came to Xiangbang."
"Oh?"
Lu Buwei squinted his eyes and stared at the person in front of him carefully. Although he had already made up his mind in his heart, he still wanted to hear this man's answer at this moment.
"The Six Kingdoms want to emulate what happened in the old Qi and destroy Qin together. But the six countries themselves are also scattered, with different wills. What really matters is the people who plan it, and although their goals are the same, their interests are not necessarily the same. β
Lees leaned over and bowed.
"Those who want to attack Qin are not necessarily from the Six Kingdoms, but they may also be from Qin. Only when they are together can they fish in troubled waters. β
"Not bad! The old man has only been in the position of the Great Qin Xiangbang for a few years, but there are a lot of people in this court who want to drive me down. This time the trend of convergence is also their shadow. β
In fact, being able to act as a businessman, plan in many ways, and finally become the Great Qin Xiangbang, his sensitivity to danger is comparable to that of ordinary people.
Lu Buwei said very easily, looking into the distance, his gaze was far-reaching.
"The six countries are easy to break, and internal troubles are difficult to eliminate. But as long as the trend of cooperation fails, it will be difficult for them to make waves. Lis, do you have something to do? β
"Sometimes, the sword is not the sharpest weapon of murder."
Li Si bowed his head slightly, and was silent after speaking.
Lu Buwei smiled and touched his beard.
"Li Si, with your talents, it's a pity to only be a housekeeper in my mansion. The old man will promote you as Langzhong, and teach the king to study! β
"Li Si knocks on Xiangbang's great kindness!"
.......
In the gloomy room, Gai Nie lay on the beams, waiting.
Outside, there was a fire, the door creaked, and a man walked in with a candle in one hand and a small box in the other.
Soon, another man in a black cloak followed.
"What does Lu Buwei mean, do you want to bribe me?"
"Lord Guo Kai, don't misunderstand, Xiangbang just remembered that he was taken care of by adults when he was in Zhao in the past, so he is grateful."
Guo Kai smiled, put down the candlestick, and opened the small box.
"A box of jewelry, Lu Xiang's affection is too heavy! Say, what's the matter? Li Mu is extremely strict in governing the army, and I can't provide information in the army. β
"Your Excellency misunderstood. Recently, I heard a rumor that King Zhao intends to recall Lian Po and return to take charge of the army, I don't know if it's true or not? β
"Humph! The king was deceived by traitors, so he wanted to recall Lian Po, the old immortal! β
"My lord is right, if Lian Po returns to Zhao State and takes charge of the army, the pros and cons must be observed!"
Guo Kai took two steps back and forth, his face a little solemn.
"This matter is a little difficult to handle, and the wind direction of the court has changed recently. There are even rumors that the king intends to organize a merger, so he wants to recall Lian Po. β
"Shh
The mysterious man made a shushing gesture, very cautious, and lowered his voice a little.
"Beware of the ears on the wall! In this way, adults need to be more cautious. If it really happens, Lian is quite powerful, and for adults, it will be a catastrophe. β
"I see, I'll figure it out."
The two of them left the room, and the darkness was again enveloped, but there were a pair of snowy eyes on the beams.
A murmur, rippling slightly.
"Together?"
........
South Korea, Seven Unique Halls.
Wei Zhuang crossed his legs and sat in the somewhat damp storeroom.
Tang Qi, the boss of the Seven Peerless Hall, walked in and sat opposite Wei Zhuang.
"There is news from the Wei State that the sun has been arrested by the armor gate and locked in the iron prison of the Wei State. However, soon after, Luo Wang organized a counterattack, and although he recaptured the Sun Covering Sword, he was ambushed by the master of the Armor Gate and suffered great trauma. Since then, all activities in Wei have been temporarily stopped. β
"Cover up the sun, overcast and dark!" Wei Zhuang lay on the chair, leaned back, and muttered at the corner of his mouth, "Wei Guo? β
What really made Wei Zhuang care was not the news, but the place where this incident happened.
Wei Zhuang immediately stood up and picked up the sharktooth sword in his hand.
"I'm leaving!"
"Let's go?" Tang Qi's face was full of incredulity, "Outside are all the army and the people who are searching for you, where are you going?" β
"They can't stop me!"
"What the hell did you do when you infiltrated the snow castle the night before, causing such a big commotion?"
Wei Zhuang's eyes were sharp and he looked at Tang Qi behind him.
"If you want to live, don't ask anything. In addition, the brother of your cousin who helped me infiltrate the Snow Castle also find an opportunity to arrange for him to leave as soon as possible, Bai Yifei will find him sooner or later. β
.........
"It is said that it is to be united, but the six countries are so big, what should I do?"
Since leaving the Ghost Valley that day, Zhao Shuang has followed Pang Xuan, and he doesn't know what this old man thinks.
Two old donkeys, a bonfire, two people sit around.
"If you want to join forces, you must gather the momentum of Sanjin, Chu, and Qi, and if you don't have one, the odds of winning will be reduced by three percent."
Pang Xuan came here, but he had already calculated it.
"The great politics of the state of Chu have been since the spring of Shenjun, and the ambition of the alliance is very strong. South Korea, a small country, will follow it if the general trend is successful. The country of Zhao Sizhan, the national strength is weak, the generals and captains in the country were slaughtered in the battle of Changping, and the army is not young, and it is necessary to have a large general to command the army, so as to calm the heart of the king of Zhao and consolidate the ambition of the king of Zhao. It's okay to be incorruptible. The real trouble was Wei and Qi. β
Pang Xuan has lived in seclusion for many years, but he knows the trend of the world well.
"If it is combined, then Wei will use Xinling Jun, but the king of Wei will definitely not agree. Since the Battle of Jixi, the Qi State has had a deep hostility towards the other countries, and has closed its borders and defended itself, sitting back and watching the success or failure. It is difficult to say that the king of Qi is moved. β
"What's more, if all the countries are united, if they win, whether it is Wei, Zhao, Han, or Chu, they can all get the land, but they can't. So the best way is for Qi to continue to remain neutral. Neither anti-Qin nor aid-Qin. But in this way, there is only a 70% chance of winning. β
Zhao Shuang rolled his eyes, from beginning to end, this old man had never mentioned Yan Guo.
Is it so nonexistent?
"What about Yan Guo?"
"King Yan is greedy, inadequate and scheming!"
At this moment, a carrier pigeon flew from the sky and fell to the ground.
Pang Xuan took off the small bamboo tube tied to the pigeon's leg, took out the information and looked at it, and sighed.
"Lu Buwei has made a move, and Lian Po will be difficult to use in the end!"
