What's more, the underground transaction between Lou Chang and Fan Sui is only known to the two of them, and even the Black Ice Platform does not know what it is. As the only two insiders, Lou Chang, even if he learns the news, he will be happy to hide it for Fan Sui, and even continue to share the "way to make money" with him.

Fan Sui easily raised the gold silk here, but Lou Chang's persuasion over there, which was in his chest, seemed to be going through ups and downs.

"Your Majesty!" Lou Chang, who has been persuaded for nearly half an hour, is obviously a little anxious, after all, his cattle have been blown out, and even the deposit has been collected, if he fails to persuade King Zhao today, he will not be able to get the next 90,000 gold, and the problem will be serious if he loses his credibility in the hearts of customers - this is a major matter related to long-term cooperation in the future.

It's no wonder that Lou Chang himself, you must know that in just a few days, Lou Chang has been summoned into the palace by Zhao Kuo several times. What is being discussed? is in Zhao Kuo's crimes, there are all kinds of things, some of them have not put more than a dozen articles on Zhao Kuo, and even how to gradually reduce power and how to marginalize after the triumph have been discussed.

In this case, if it were you, you would also think that convincing King Zhao was a sure thing!

But it came to an end, and King Zhao couldn't make up his mind. Even if Lou Chang broke it open and crumpled it and slandered Zhao Kuo recklessly, the impression left by the battle of Yan and Zhao was too deep, and King Zhao understood the importance of the Shangdang region to Zhao even if he was confused. Once the tiger returns to the mountain, there will be endless troubles!

King Zhao doesn't want to fight another battle against the party!

"O my king!" Lou Chang wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and continued to persuade him tirelessly, "That's Taoyi! What did the Qin State do with all the great efforts to attack the country of Han and attack the party land? Isn't it just to make a way to Taoyi, so as to get into the land of the Central Plains?"

"Now that my soldiers can get it without blood, how can I not accept it?"

"Your Majesty, do you know how much a year's tax is paid for just one Taoyi?"

"It's almost one-third of the annual tax paid by my Zhao country, it's just a city! It's not an exaggeration to say that there is gold and jade everywhere!"

"The reason why the Qin State has such a strong national strength and the ability to overpower the six countries of Shandong is that the taxation of Taoyi is a key part of it."

"As long as I, Da Zhao, have Taoyi, enter the land that can touch the Central Plains, and retreat can supplement the consumption of the Shangdang's three-year war treasury, and this will benefit and harmless!"

......

Lou Chang almost said that he was going to be moved!

I have to say that Lou Chang still has a set of persuasions, specifically scratching the itching of the other party, and the bait thrown is all what the other party wants most in his heart.

What is lacking in Zhao now? It can be said that there is a shortage of everything - lack of money, lack of food, lack of taxes!

That's what Taoyi does. Then what else to say, you can exaggerate the wealth of Taoyi, what one-third of the taxes of the Zhao State, what gold and jade everywhere, and even help the Qin State to dominate, it is simply open to the mouth.

Taoyi is rich, but it is by no means able to help the Qin State to dominate. Even, it is precisely because of its wealth that the people who covet it have not been very lucky. First, the Wei state, which had the idea of fighting it, was pulled down from the overlord seat by the states; Then the Song State, which had been possessing it, was destroyed by the Qi State; And the Qi State, which had just taken possession of it, was almost wiped out by the joint attack of the Five Nations.

Even the Qin State, for the sake of the land around Taoyi, actually exchanged land with the Zhao State, and was cheated by the Zhao State, which also directly led to the start of the battle between the Yan and the Emperor.

The land of the Central Plains is, of course, a land of anointing. But the anointed land may also turn into a quagmire of cannibalism at any time.

Of course, these things are difficult for the authorities to see clearly. After all, the wealth of the land of Taoyi is real, and even after the baptism of war, the annual tax paid is a very objective amount.

Even Fan Sui, who proposed the strategy of long-distance friendship and close attack, may not really realize the quagmire nature of the Central Plains, but because it is too difficult to fight the past, and all countries are unwilling to let go, they retreat to the next best thing about countries.

Of course, with the piecemeal progress, after the steady improvement of the national strength of the Qin State, the Qin people will eventually be

Realize the correctness and greatness of the strategy of "long-distance and close-quarters".

It's just that although Lou Chang has praised Taoyi to the point that there is nothing in the sky and on the earth, King Zhao still looks like he has a difficult choice.

Faced with this situation, Lou Chang knew that it was difficult to impress King Zhao by blindly emphasizing the benefits, and he had to give some external pressure and take a two-pronged approach.

"Your Majesty." Lou Chang cautiously said tentatively: "Wei Chen risked his death to hear it, and our army should take advantage of the good situation in this battle!"

King Zhao's eyes turned, and his puzzled eyes instantly locked on Lou Chang. Faced with a good situation, King Zhao obviously didn't know what it meant to "accept it when it was good".

"What do you mean by Dr. Lou's words?" King Zhao asked puzzled.

"Does the king know why Weichen entered the palace at night and told my king about this?" Faced with King Zhao's incomprehension, Lou Chang did not give a positive answer, and began to circle with King Zhao.

"Why?" King Zhao naturally continued to ask.

"Without him, the Prime Minister of the Qin State will also be invited!" Lou Chang replied dryly.

It's just that this answer made King Zhao even more confused, Qin Xiangguo Fan Sui came to Handan to ask him to withdraw his troops and had just reported, and Qin Xiangyang begged to come in the starry night, which shows the urgency of Qin State, and how can he come to "accept it when you see it"?

Of course, Lou Chang, who was observant of words and expressions, immediately sensed King Zhao's doubts, and this doubt was exactly what Lou Chang wanted.

"My king doesn't know anything." Lou Chang sighed softly and said, "What Qin Xiang is worried about is not the more than 100,000 Qin troops in Shangdang, but the more than 100,000 troops, and Bai Qi is sitting in the town, with the wisdom of the king, it is naturally clear that our army has no possibility of quick victory in a short period of time. Therefore, if it is for the sake of the Qin army that is surrounded by the party, the Qin prime minister does not need to rush this night's time at all."

"Oh?" King Zhao was obviously more and more intrigued by Lou Chang's words.

Seeing this, Lou Chang immediately took advantage of the victory and pursued: "My king should know: the Qin army is also a tiger and a wolf, and he only knows how to conquer cities and conquer cities, and confer meritorious service and knighthood, where will he know that the country is difficult. After three years of fierce warfare, my Zhao State has accumulated and consumed all over the years, although the Qin State is rich in China and familiar with Bashu, but also because of the length of the battle line and the difficulty of transshipment, the current situation is not much better than that of my Zhao State. Coupled with the fact that the army is surrounded, there is no point in holding on."

As he spoke, Lou Chang paused slightly, looked at Zhao Wangzheng and nodded unconsciously, obviously agreeing with his statement, and then changed his words and said, "It's just that there are only a handful of people who can calculate this account in the Qin Kingdom!"
