"Oh no, my lord, Zhao Jun...... Zhao Jun called!" At this moment, a guard rushed in from outside in a panic.

"How is that possible? Didn't King Zhao say to give me three days of Qin State?" Medium-term panic.

"King Zhao, this villain who doesn't believe in his words!" Qin Wangzhu clenched his hands into fists, and walked outside with a blue face, "Immediately gather the people of the whole city to defend the city."

"It shouldn't be." Lu Buwei had some doubts in his heart, although King Zhao was not a good person, but under normal circumstances, he would not be untrustworthy. Moreover, destroying the Qin State at this time was not the best choice for the Zhao State.

Soon, Qin Wangzhu led a group of civil and military forces to the city.

"Where is the Lord of Zhao?" Wang Jian walked to the front and asked loudly.

"I am the commander of the Zhao army." Li Mu stepped forward immediately.

"King Zhao said to give me three days from the Qin Kingdom, why did he suddenly regret it?" Wang Jian said.

"Hahaha, it is crowded outside Xianyang City, and I will just choose to garrison troops outside Jingyang City, and I ask King Qin not to be afraid. In three days, Ben will never attack the city." Li Mu laughed and turned to leave.

Qin Wangzhu's eyes were gloomy, and his palm slapped the female wall hard, eager to kill all the Zhao troops outside the city.

The dignified Qin State, when have you ever been so humiliated!

"King Zhao is trying to force my Qin State to agree to those conditions." Fan Ju said in a deep voice.

"It is impossible for the widow to agree to Zhao Guo's conditions, and it is impossible for any of them to agree! The widow doesn't believe it, he Zhao Kuo dares to destroy my Qin country." Qin Wangzhu said firmly.

"The king must not be rash, this is what King Yan thought before, where is the country of Yan now?" Lu Buwei hurriedly said.

When Qin Wangzhu heard this, his momentum was discharged, and after a while, he spoke: "If the widow cedes the land to Han and Wei, does Mr. think that Han and Wei will stand on the side of my Qin State?"

"Your Majesty, at this time, King Zhao is like the overlord of the world with the momentum of great victory. It is impossible for Han and Wei to betray Zhao at this time. Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if Han and Wei have this heart, they can't do it. After more than a year of war, Han and Wei were empty at home, and at this time they were at war with the state of Chu, and they could not use their strength to compete with the state of Zhao." Lu Buwei said.

Han and Wei were empty, and Qin had more than half of the credit.

Of course, there is no way for the Qin State, the two countries of Han and Wei are blocked in the east of the Qin State, and if the Qin State wants to go east, it must attack Han Wei.

"Isn't it...... Can you only agree to those conditions for Zhao Guo?" Qin Wangzhu gritted his teeth and felt extremely humiliated.

In that year, the Qin State was broken through the Hangu Pass by Tian Wen and Kuang Zhang, and it was only to return a few cities, and he had ever signed such a treaty of loss of power and humiliation of the country.

"The minister thinks that as long as Zhao Guo can withdraw his troops, it is worth paying some price. And...... Although King Zhao has set those conditions, it is not impossible to negotiate." Lu Buwei said.

"Sir, would you like to send Zhao Jun?" Qin Wangzhu said.

"I want to go." Lu Buwei leaned over and said.

When Lü Buwei arrived in Xianyang, Zhao Kuo was resettle the victims, although these victims were Qin people before, but they will be Zhao people in the future, if you want them to integrate into the Zhao country, and if you want the world to be truly one, you can't treat them differently.

Although Qin Shi Huang completed the political unification in history, the real world was determined to be one, but it was completed in the Han Dynasty.

After receiving the report, Zhao Kuo handed over the victims to Liu Ping, and returned to the camp with Ben and Gai Nie, and when he saw Lu Buwei, Zhao Kuo greeted him with a smile: "Mr. Buwei, hehe, the widow didn't expect Mr. Buwei to return to Qin."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a great kindness to foreign ministers, and foreign ministers cannot live up to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Lu Buwei leaned over, saw the sludge on Zhao Kuo's body, his eyes moved, and asked, "The king is ...... just now."

"Oh, the widow is settling the victims. Although they can do whatever it takes on the battlefield, after all, they suffer because of the widow, and the widow cannot ignore it. Besides, they will be my Zhao people in the future, and as the monarch of Zhao State, the widow has the responsibility and obligation to help every Zhao person." Zhao Kuo said with a smile.

Lu Buwei's heart sank, the two sides have not yet negotiated, Zhao Kuo regarded the people of Xianyang as Zhao people, it seems that ...... The difficulty of this mission will be considerable

increased.

"By the way, Lu Gong is here this time...... Did the King of Qin agree to the widow's conditions?" Zhao Kuo said.

"King Zhao, I, the Qin State, am willing to pay a certain price for the Zhao State to withdraw its troops, but the conditions should be discussed again. My Qin State used to be a big country in the world no matter what, and the Qin family and the Zhao family are in the same lineage, so they are still a family. If King Qin makes an edict against himself, Zhao's face will not look good." Lu Buwei said.

"When the Qin State slaughtered my Zhao people, did you ever think that you would be the same family with the Zhao family hundreds of years ago?" Zhao Kuo said coldly.

"King Mingjian of Zhao, the slaughter of the people of Zhao Country was a ploy of Xiangguo Fan Ju, the king was still the crown prince at the time, and he didn't know about it, otherwise with the mercy of the king, he would definitely stop this matter." Lu Buwei said.

"Since this is the case, then the sin will be forgiven, and the King of Qin will not have to go to my Zhao Kingdom to defeat the dead. All you Qin need to do is hand over Fan Ju's head." Zhao Kuo's fingers tapped lightly on the chair and said lightly.

When Lu Buwei heard the first half of the words, his heart was slightly relieved, and when he heard the second half, his face changed in an instant.

If the Qin State kills Fan Ju and sends it to the Zhao State, who will dare to plan for the Qin State in the future?

"What? Couldn't the Qin State even satisfy the widow with this little request?" Zhao Kuo asked in a deep voice.

Lu Buwei wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, after so many missions, it was the first time he was so panicked, he had known that his mother would not mention it, and let King Qin give his own edict!

"The king, don't embarrass the ministers, this kind of condition is not something that the ministers can agree." Lu Buwei said bitterly.

"It's better for the Qin envoy to go back and let the King of Qin personally come to talk to the widow." Zhao Kuo said.

"......" Lu Buwei didn't speak, at this time, Qin Wangzhu came to the Zhao army camp, isn't it equivalent to a sheep entering the tiger's mouth?

"What? Qin Envoy didn't think that the widow would be as shameless as Qin Wangji?" Zhao Kuo asked.

"It's not...... Yes......" Lu Buwei hurriedly closed his mouth, Nima Zhao Kuo's question, he had a question no matter how he answered.

"The minister thinks that this article will be put down for the time being. Let's discuss the other conditions first. What does King Zhao think?" After a long while, Lu Buwei calmed down before he spoke again.

"Yes." Zhao Kuo nodded.

"The first condition, my Qin State can cede all the east of Jingshui to Zhao State, but Zhao State wants to return Longxi County and Xianyang to my Qin State." Lu Buwei said.

"To the east of Jingshui, Longxi County, Zhangye County, and Xianyang, everyone wants it. If the Qin State does not agree, the widow will send troops to fight down." Zhao Kuo said firmly.

Crossing the Hangu Pass and Wuguan, Guanzhong was a flat horse for the cavalry of Zhao State, and it was only a matter of time before Zhao State defeated it.

"Xianyang is the capital of my Qin State." Lu Buwei said in a deep voice.

"From now on, it's my Zhao Kingdom's." Zhao Kuo said, "The widow can make concessions, there are twenty-three cities around Xianyang, and the Qin State can cede eleven cities east of Xianyang."

"Thank you, King Zhao." Lu Buwei took a deep breath, "The second condition, my Qin State, can agree, but the last condition, my Qin State can't come up with five million stone grain and fifty thousand horses of Shu brocade no matter what."

"The Qin State can pay it off in five years, and every year it will pay back one million stone grain and ten thousand horses of Shu brocade. As for the interest, the widow will exempt the Qin State." Zhao Kuo waved his hand.

What he wants is that the Qin State will not be able to make enemies with the Zhao State for a period of time in the future, but he doesn't want the Qin people to starve to death.

"Then the minister will go back and report to the king." Lü Buwei leaned over and said, turning to leave the camp.

By the time Lü Buwei returned to Jingyang, it was already night, but none of the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State had rested, and they all sat in the hall waiting for him.

"Your Minister, please talk to the king privately." Lu Buwei looked around, and finally leaned over and said. Zhao Kuo's conditions could not be announced, otherwise it would cause panic.

"The ministers are retired." Without waiting for Qin Wangzhu to speak, a group of civil and military officers retreated very interestingly.

"Your Majesty, King Zhao has canceled the conditions for the King to issue an edict and go to Zhao to worship the Zhao people." Lu Buwei leaned over and said.

Qin Wangzhu was overjoyed in his heart, and heard Lü Buwei continue, "But...... King Zhao asked me Qin

Guo handed over the head of Xiangguo to Zhao Guo."

"King Zhao deceived people too much, and he didn't take the widow in his eyes at all. If the widow agrees, how will my Qin State recruit talents from all over the world in the future?" Qin Wangzhu gritted his teeth and said.

Lü Buwei told Qin Wangzhu the rest of the conditions, and then leaned over and retreated. qgν.

The rest was not up to him, and he didn't want to get involved.

"Go and invite the prince and Xiangguo." After a long while, Qin Wangzhu spoke.

After Zi Chu and Fan Ju arrived, Qin Wangzhu explained Zhao Kuo's conditions, and then asked, "What do you think?"

Fan Ju's heart instantly felt cold, and he felt the chill in Qin Wangzhu's words.

"The minister is willing to sacrifice his life for the Qin State." Fan Ju hurriedly knelt on the ground.

"Xiangguo hurry up, even if the widow fights with Zhao Guo, he will never sacrifice Xiangguo." Qin Wangzhu hurriedly helped Fan Ju up and said kindly.

"The minister is guilty." Fan Ju lowered his head and said.

"Now, I can only make an edict against myself, and then go to Zhao to worship those untouchables. It's already happening, and you have to bear the consequences, and you can't hide from it." Qin Wangzhu sighed, got up and walked outside.

Although it was a scorching summer, Fan Ju heard Qin Wangzhu's words, but it was like falling into winter. Who will bear the consequences, and who can't hide from it......

Fan Ju returned home in a panic, immediately called his two sons, and said quickly, "Go back and pack your things immediately, and we will leave Jingyang immediately."

He didn't have the idea of dedicating himself to the Qin State, the only thing that the Qin State could make him give with all his heart was Qin Wangji, and as for the others, he was not worthy. bμν.

When the two sons heard this, they immediately realized that something was wrong, and without asking, they turned around and left.

They had just fled to Jingyang for a few days, and they had very few things, so they quickly packed up.

But it was too late.

A Qin army surrounded the house......

The next day, news came from Jingyang that Xiangguo Fan Ju committed suicide!

"This is Fan Ju's head, and I invite King Zhao to take a look." Lu Buwei handed the wooden box to Ben, and after Ben inspected it, he nodded to Zhao Kuo.

"The Qin State has done a good job, and the widow has seen the sincerity of the Qin State." Zhao Kuo laughed heartily.

"I, the Qin State, have promised all the conditions of the Zhao State, and the King of Zhao can withdraw his troops." Although Qin's goal of letting Zhao withdraw his troops was achieved, Lü Buwei did not have the slightest smile on his face.

"Wait. After the negotiation of the conditions for the withdrawal of my Zhao State, what about the conditions for the withdrawal of the Qi State?" Zhao Kuo glanced at Wang Sun Jia next to him.

Wang Sun Jia also looked at Zhao Kuo in surprise, he didn't expect that there was anything about Qi Guo here, and Zhao Kuo hadn't told him before!

"...... you" Lu Buwei stood up suddenly, seeing Zhao Kuo's playful smile, he had to sit back, facing Wang Sun Jia, clenching his fists and saying, "Dare to ask what conditions are for Qi Guo to withdraw from the army?"

Wang Sunjia didn't speak, but looked at Zhao Kuo.

"The same trade conditions as my Zhao country, exempt from all customs duties. In addition, the Qin State compensated the Qin State with 5 million stone grains and 50,000 horses of Shu brocade. Pay it off in five years." Zhao Kuo said.

「…… Yes." Lü Buwei's face turned hideous, and he smashed his teeth and swallowed in his stomach, "If there is nothing else, the foreign minister will retire."

"Wait." Zhao Kuo said again.

"What else is the matter with King Zhao?" Lu Buwei's red eyes stared at Zhao Kuo tightly.

Zhao Kuo clapped his palms, and soon, more than thirty men and women were brought into the camp, it was the prince and princess of Qin who were captured by Zhao State, and so on, as well as Qin Wangzhu's little wife, Zichu's crown princess.

"Shaofu, save me." Seeing Lü Buwei, the princes and grandsons shouted one after another.

In the past few days, Zhao Guoke has not given them a good face, not only only giving them coarse rice, but also letting them work.

"One hundred thousand stone of grain for each person, thirty-three people in all. The widow gave the Qin State a discount, two million stone grain." Zhao Kuo said with a smile.

At this moment, the smile on Zhao Kuo's face was even more terrifying than the devil in Lu Buwei's eyes.

"Three sons, seven kings and grandsons, and these few, a total of fifteen, one hundred and fifty

Wanshi grain. As for the others, let them be at the disposal of King Zhao." Lü Buwei quickly ordered a few people.

Including all the princes and grandsons, the crown princesses of Zichu, and the concubines who gave birth to sons for the king or prince of Qin. As for the princess or something, the concubines who did not give birth to sons for the King of Qin or the crown prince were all abandoned by Lü Buwei.

In these days, mothers are more expensive than their sons, and concubines without sons have no value.

The same is true for the princess, for the Qin State, it is just a tool for marriage.

Now Qin is worried about domestic and foreign troubles, and there is not so much food, so he can only give up the worthless.

"Please take us away." The princesses and concubines knelt down one after another and begged Lü Buwei.

No matter how those princesses pleaded, Lu Buwei's complexion did not change at all.

"The minister retired." Lu Buwei said with his fists clenched and walked quickly outside.

"Please let the king let us go......" Seeing that Lü Buwei had left, the princesses and concubines knelt down and begged Zhao Guo.

"King, it's better to put them all back, just now Lu Buwei abandoned them, after they go back, they will definitely speak ill of Lu Buwei......" Li Si walked next to Zhao Kuo and whispered.

Zhao Kuo's eyes lit up, Fan Ju is dead, and it won't be long before the Xiangguo of Qin will become Lü Buwei, Qin Wangzhu and the crown prince Chu have great trust in Lü Buwei, if these women are used to make Qin become discordant among monarchs and ministers, it will be of great benefit to Zhao State.

No amount of trust can compare to the wind on the pillow.
