Chapter 223: Ask the prince to save my Yan Kingdom
"Don't worry, even if Zhao Guo finds out, they won't kill me." Prince Zhu said nonchalantly. He was just a prince, not the monarch of Qin, and it was useless for Zhao to kill him.
Even if he revealed his identity, it would only arouse Zhao Guo's vigilance and prevent him from looking for a famous doctor to cure his illness. "As long as we can make the Yan Kingdom completely fall to my Qin State, this risk is still worth taking."
"No." Lu Buwei had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Gifts are well prepared, ordinary gold is fine, low-key luxury.
Prince Zhu pretended to be Lü Buwei's entourage and came all the way to the official residence.
"Qin envoy Lu Buwei, ask to see Yan envoy." Lü Buwei handed over the card, which was a business card.
"Wait a minute." The attendant who opened the door took the message, bowed his hand, and did not close the door, but turned and went in to report it.
"It seems that Yan Guo still has a good impression of my Qin State in his heart." Prince Zhu thought in his heart, and his grasp of this time was a little greater.
Not long after, a black-faced man walked out, leaned over, stretched out his hand and said, "Yan Envoy Jiangqu has seen Qin Envoy, please." ”
"Please."
Jiang Qu had just sat down, and when he looked up, he was shocked that Lu Buwei was actually sitting in the lower position, and the one sitting in the upper position was actually the man who was standing behind Lu Buwei before and was dressed as an entourage.
"I don't know who Your Excellency is?" Jiang Qu looked at the prince pillar and asked in a deep voice.
"In the Lower Qin State Prince Pillar." Prince Zhu said with a smile.
"Prince Pillar...... It's so daring. Jiang Qu said admiringly, and then his heart moved, and asked, "Isn't Prince Zhu afraid that I will reveal your identity?" ”
"Hehe, what is the benefit of revealing Lone's identity to Yan Guo? Could it be that Yan Envoy thinks that Zhao will kill me? Prince Zhu smiled, "Or is it that the Yan State has already offended the Zhao State and plans to offend my Qin State again?" ”
"......" will be speechless.
"Alright, no kidding. Lone came this time to discuss with the Yan envoy on important matters. Prince Zhu said.
"Prince, please speak." Jiang Qu said.
"Yan envoy entered Zhao this time, he should feel the strength of Zhao State." Prince Zhu said.
"Ten years later, there will be no one to balance the Zhao State." Jiang Qu said solemnly.
He came earlier than Prince Zhu and Lü Buwei, in addition to what he saw and heard along the way, he also went to Handan Academy, although it has not yet been fully built, but its grandeur is no less than Jicheng, the capital of Yan State.
He also saw the Library Pavilion, a building as tall as the royal palace, and even if it wasn't open yet, he could imagine how many books could be held in it.
Seeing Handan Academy and Library Pavilion, Jiang Qu understood that in the next ten years, the number of talents produced by Zhao Guo would far exceed that of the six countries, and even the six countries together would not be as good as Zhao Guo.
"Hehe, Yan Envoy is still too optimistic. In five years at most, the strength of the Zhao State will surpass that of my Qin State in an all-round way, and I am talking about comprehensiveness, not a certain aspect! By then, unless the six nations unite, ...... The world belongs to Zhao. Prince Zhu said calmly.
If you talk about the level of understanding of the current Zhao State, it will be above the crown prince's pillar.
However, in terms of the degree of understanding of the previous Zhao State, the prince pillar is far above the Jiangqu.
In order to win the Battle of Changping, the Qin State not only mobilized all the people in the country, but also sent countless fine works to infiltrate the Zhao State and obtain information from the Zhao State.
Know yourself and your opponent, win all battles!
Only the Qin State knew how much the Zhao State had changed before and after.
Jiang Qu didn't speak, although he felt that Prince Zhu was exaggerated, but there was no need to argue about this kind of thing, what mattered was the next words.
"Can the Yan envoy know which country Zhao will attack first after regaining its strength?" Prince Zhu asked.
"Please also ask the prince for advice." Jiang Qu said with a fist.
"Yan Guo." Prince Zhu stretched out his right hand, pressed his index finger on the eucalyptus, and said with great certainty.
"To the west and south of Zhao is the Wei State, and the relationship between the Three Jin Dynasty does not need to be said alone. After King Zhao ascended the throne, he not only quickly repaired his relationship with Han Wei, but even sent generals to help Han Wei train cavalry, and gave Quyuan plows and waterwheels to Han Wei. Does Yan Envoy think that Zhao will attack Han Wei? Prince Zhu asked.
"Then why don't you attack the Qi Kingdom?" Jiang Qu asked.
"Hehe, Yan Envoy is afraid that he has forgotten which country the princess King Zhao is going to marry is." Prince Zhu said with a smile.
When Jiang Qu heard this, his face turned pale instantly.
"The southwest of Zhao State is above the party barrier, the south is also Yecheng as a barrier, and the east is Jishui as a barrier. Only in the north, Yishui could have been used as a barrier, but when King Zhao and Yan Guo negotiated peace, he resolutely let Yan State cede the capital to Zhao State, which was intended to use this as a springboard to attack Yan State in the future. ”
"In addition, among the three kingdoms, the strength of the Yan State is the weakest, there are still 200,000 soldiers in the hands of the Zhao State, and it is difficult to say whether the country can make up an army of 100,000 now. Dare to ask Yan Envoy, if you were King Zhao, which country would you choose to attack? ”
Prince Zhu's eyes narrowed slightly, and his voice was extremely cold, like a sharp cone piercing into the heart of Jiangqu.
The more Jiang Qu listened, the paler his face became, and the more he listened, the cooler his heart became.
He had vaguely felt this way before, but he was in the bureau, and he didn't see it very clearly, but now he heard what Prince Zhu said, combined with the fact that Zhao sent people to Yan State to deliver food to the relatives of the captives some time ago.
It was immediately determined that Zhao Guo's goal was in Yan Kingdom!
"Ask the prince to save my Yan Kingdom." Jiang Qu bowed and said solemnly.
"I, the Qin State and the Yan State, are allies, and they should help each other. As long as the Zhao State attacks the Yan State, I, the Qin State, will not stand idly by. But if the Zhao State attacks my Qin State......" Speaking of this, Prince Zhu paused.
"I, the Yan State, will advance and retreat with the Qin State." The general ditch immediately assured.
"Okay, then we'll settle it." Prince Zhu got up and said.
"The minister sent the prince." Jiang Qu stretched out his hand and said.
After returning to the residence and resting for a while, Prince Zhu took Lü Buwei and walked towards the official residence of the Qi State.
Now the easiest thing for Qin to win over is Yan and Qi, and both countries are close to Zhao, as long as Zhao sends troops to attack Qin, the two countries can backstab Zhao from behind, and Qin must find a way to unite the two countries tightly around Qin.
"I've seen the Qi envoy." Lü Buwei gave a salute, and the entourage behind him handed over the wooden box containing the gift.
Hou Sheng lifted it vigorously, but did not lift it, his eyes suddenly lit up, a bright smile bloomed on his face, and he hurriedly beckoned his subordinates to carry the box in, and then leaned over and said, "Qin envoy, please come in quickly." ”
After he was dismissed by the Empress Dowager Qi, life was not as good as day by day, and the officials of Qi State stayed away from him one after another, and the former bustling courtyard became crowded.
Although there were still a lot of food and land, the tax was not enough for him to squander. This time, it was easy to say that he asked for a position as a deputy envoy from the Empress Dowager Qi, but there was not much oil and water in it at all, and the dowry was all written on the list, even if he was greedy, he would not dare to be greedy for the dowry of the princess.
The generous gift given by Lü Buwei was completely a gift to him.
"The intelligence said that Hou Sheng was greedy for money, and it was true." Lu Buwei thought secretly in his heart.
