"Yes." Zhao Kuo said lightly: "Chu Guocai provided my Zhao State with food for the winter, which can be said to be a great credit to Zhao Guoye, how can I abandon Chu and kiss Qin Yan?"

Zhao Kuo's words, to put it bluntly, are: Chu State is my brother's state - you have to add money!

Of course, the Qin envoy was reluctant to add money, so he retorted, "King Zhao's words are wrong. The grain of the Chu State, the Zhao State also paid the price, and they were mutually beneficial, so what can be said about the credit? In today's world, if it is in line with the benefit, it will move, and if it is not in line with the benefit, it will be scattered, this is the right reason, how can King Zhao not know it?"

"For its own benefit." Zhao Kuo continued to ask unwillingly, "Since Qin wants to befriend Zhao, now that my Zhao Kingdom is in the midst of a snow disaster, I don't know what sincerity Qin Guo can have?"

This is even more clear: if you want to divide the countries with my Zhao country, give me some money first.

Where will this Qin State be willing, although the King of Qin wants to move the battle of Qin and Zhao to the end, but Zhao State has always been the biggest enemy of Qin State, where is there a reason to add oil and vinegar to the enemy country.

Immediately, the Qin envoy shook his head again and said, "Qin and Zhao are equal fellows, how can they be sincere. If we talk about sincerity, our king sent his envoys thousands of miles to come, and it is already sincerity. It's King Zhao, who has been entangled in some small profits, but he doesn't seem to be very sincere."

"Then the king will speak of great gains." Zhao Kuo spoke again: "If the widow wants to borrow grain from Han and Yan, what will the envoy do?"

Hearing this, Qin Envoy was slightly stunned, and then quickly understood.

Han Zhiguo has few people and few people, and it is not enough to provide Zhao with much grain, not to mention that Yan Guo is still suffering from disasters!

Obviously, King Zhao didn't want any grain, but these two countries.

Although this is a certain gap from King Qin's expectations, it is not too surprising, after all, if Qin wants to take down the entire Chu State, it is reasonable for Zhao State to ask Han and Yan to fall.

Immediately, the Qin envoy, who understood it, bowed slightly and said, "King Zhao Rongyu, Zhao Guo's desire to tide over the difficulties is well known to his ministers. However, there is no hurry. If I have the ambition of going out of the east, the one I seek will only be based on the Central Plains. With the current situation of the Zhao Kingdom, the subordinates secretly thought that the King of Zhao would take the grain of a country, but it would also be."

The reply of the envoy of the Qin State was also simple, what our Qin State is not asking for is the land of the Chu State, and you Zhao State don't think about becoming a big fat man in one bite, choose one of the two!

For Qin Envoy's reply, it was a little unexpected for Zhao Kuo.

Unexpectedly, King Qin still retained a trace of reason, and did not want to swallow the Chu State in one bite. It's normal, the land of Chu is thousands of miles, and there are many mountains and rivers blocking it, and it is really not easy to swallow it.

However, in this way, the Qin State only took part of the Chu State, so can the Zhao State still take the Sheji of a country in time?

If not, after Qin took the established area, it would inevitably interfere with its own attack.

In the same way, the Qin State must also be afraid of doing this, so it is bound to interfere more in his own actions.

Therefore, your real goal must continue to be hidden. It is best to make the Qin State misjudge.

Not only that, but for Qin's attack on Chu, Zhao also had to make a good contribution.

But that's all for later.

In the face of the Qin envoy's suggestion, Zhao Kuo did not seem to have any reason to oppose it. Of course, it is impossible to sign the covenant. This agreement can only exist in each other's hearts.

However, in today's Warring States, the so-called covenants are no different from the waste of paper, but those agreements that are kept in mind, as long as the situation of the enemy and the enemy does not change fundamentally, it will be more restrictive.

"Good." Zhao Kuo finally relented and said, "The meaning of King Qin is unknown to few people. As long as the Qin State is willing to live in peace, I, the Zhao State, will never be good at war. I wonder if your envoy is satisfied with the widow's answer?"

"If my king knows the meaning of King Zhao, he will gladly stroke his palm." When the Qin envoy heard this, he naturally gave it a sycophant.

The general division plan has been discussed, and then it is a matter of time. Zhao Kuo immediately continued: "After the autumn of the next year, when you raise a glass with the King of Qin, what do you think?"

This is very vague.

"Toast to the distance" is to celebrate the victory of the war, or is it or?

What about seeing off the army?

Obviously, it's all possible.

Therefore, Zhao Kuo's words are not without suspicion of misleading.

Qin Envoy naturally heard the meaning, but he didn't care. The simple truth is that to put it bluntly, fighting can break out at any time, and both countries will actively prepare for it in order to start fighting as soon as possible. Under the condition of non-interference, whoever fights first will have the upper hand.

No one is a fool, and no one will let go of this advantage.

Looking at Zhao Kuo, the Qin envoy smiled indifferently, but said, "My king will be waiting for him at any time."

Everything was already in plain sight, and then, the two looked at each other and smiled.

In this way, in the midst of laughter, the battle between Qin and Zhao to divide the countries in the coming year was quietly finalized.

Of course, although Zhao knew that Qin was preparing to make a move on Chu, he didn't know anything about the scale and direction of the move; And Qin naturally knew that the tip of Zhao's knife was aimed at one of Han and Yan, but which country it was, although Qin was inclined to Han Zhiguo, it was still uncertain.

In short, although the direction has been agreed, there are still too many uncertainties in the specific implementation.

This is also normal, after all, the two countries are still the ultimate enemies in the final analysis, and it is naturally impossible to expose all their thoughts to each other. That's all the two kings can do, and the rest depends on the intelligence services and armies of the two countries.

War has always been a large-scale complex and sophisticated project.

The Qin envoy, who received a satisfactory answer, quickly retreated, and in the slightly dim side hall, Zhao Kuo guarded the dancing flames alone, and fell into a long period of contemplation.

After more than a quarter of an hour, Zhao Kuo slowly got up.

"Someone." Zhao Kuo's faint voice quickly spread in the side hall.

With a "squeak", the door was gently pushed open by the eunuch order who had been waiting outside.

"My king." Slightly arched his hand, the eunuch ordered to bow down and salute.

"Pass the order, Lu Buwei of Jiuyuan, Tian Dan of Huaisi, and Li Mu of Shangdang will arrange all local affairs and return to Handan before the year." Zhao Kuo then spoke.

"Yes." The eunuch ordered to immediately receive the order.

"Order Pingyuan Jun to postpone the matter of sending Qin to the country." Zhao Kuo continued to command.

"Yes." The eunuch order also continued to receive the order.

"Go ahead." Zhao Kuo then waved his hand and said.

......

Because of the arrival of the Qin envoy, the Zhao side had to make some adjustments to the subsequent operations, although Zhao Kuo already had a certain success in his heart, but in the face of the Qin State, and when it came to the national policy of the next few years, even Zhao Kuo did not dare to draw conclusions.

In recent years, it is obviously a good plan to recall all the important ministers back to Handan, on the one hand, so that everyone can have a good New Year, and on the other hand, they can also focus on discussing next year's operation.

And just when Zhao Kuo and the envoys of Qin "divided" the Warring States together, the envoys of Zhao also arrived in the countries of Yan and Han.

Faced with the arrival of the envoys of Zhao, King Yan obviously did not want to see him.

Five years ago, the scene of being pursued by Zhao Jun and almost dying on the spot still lingered in King Yan's mind. Not to mention, more than half of the huge Hejian County of Zhao State was once the territory of Yan State.

After the first battle of that year, the Yan Kingdom was completely weakened, and the remaining territory was not enough for the Yan Kingdom to have any idea of fighting for hegemony, even if the Yan King was desperate, he was helpless.

There is no way, although the territory of Yan Kingdom is much larger than that of Han Zhiguo, it is really too poor.

Therefore, in the past few years, King Yan has almost been lying flat, and all the state affairs have been handed over to his confidant minister.

As for the chestnut-bellied people, they were already small-minded, and because of the defeat of the Zhao State, their majesty was damaged, so they naturally needed to rely on violence to ensure that their rights were not restricted.

As the desire for power in the chestnut belly continued to expand, Le Jian and other generals either ran away or closed their doors, which made the already weak Yan Kingdom even worse.

Therefore, in the past few years, Yan Guo, even if it is not a miasma, at least it is very angry.

But that's it

, must have nothing to do with King Yan, being able to provide enough beautiful food for his enjoyment is King Yan's only requirement for chestnut belly.

Naturally, the arrival of Zhao Envoy failed to wake up King Yan, who was pretending to be asleep.

King Yan, who was already addicted to his own world, didn't even think about meeting the envoys of Zhao State, and threw the national letter into his chestnut belly, and King Yan immediately returned to his harem.

The greedy chestnut belly, after facing Zhao Envoy's request to borrow grain, he simply ignored it.

You know, borrowing grain, that is borrowing grain from the chestnut belly pocket; can offend Zhao Guo, that is what Yan Guo offended.

What? Afraid of Zhao Guo's revenge?

It was Yan Guo who took revenge, and Yan Guo was not his chestnut belly, and even Yan Guo died, wouldn't it be more beautiful to be a courtier of Zhao State.

This is not just the idea of a single person in the chestnut, but even the thoughts of many courtiers of the Yan Kingdom. After all, Yan Zhao is so close, and the Hejian County of Zhao is getting richer and richer, and the ministers of Yan State are also looking at it.

However, if you offend Zhao Envoy, of course you won't say it directly.

Fortunately, King Yan has long stopped asking about government affairs, and just pushes everything to King Yan.

Obviously, Yan Guo's refusal was expected by Zhao Envoy, but this time when he came to Yan Guo, he saw the contradictions within Yan Guo, and he had another gain.

Now that he had obtained the truth he wanted, the envoy of Zhao State did not stay longer, and immediately threw down a cruel word, and hurried back to Handan.

However, the envoys of Zhao in the country of Han were warmly received by the king of Han.

There is no way, since the Qin State withdrew from the Zhou Land, the King of Han has been in a panic, and after learning that the Wei and Chu countries actually exchanged two pieces of "waste land" in the hands of the Zhao State for the Zhou Land, the King of Han's intestines are about to regret it.

However, it is useless to regret it.

King Han was obviously also aware of his betrayal, and Zhao Guo would definitely not just forget it, and repeatedly sent envoys to Handan, but he couldn't even see King Zhao's face, which couldn't help but make King Han even more frightened.

This time, Zhao Guo actually took the initiative to send someone to come, and King Han was naturally excited, so he sent him to the city tower to greet him in person.

Such a high-standard reception made the envoys of Zhao very unhappy, Lao Tzu is here to find fault, hey, you do this, how can I find fault? Haven't they all fallen to the Qin State, you are a little principled and a little backbone, hey!

Fortunately, after the envoys of Zhao explained the intention of borrowing grain, the originally jubilant banquet was obviously stagnant.

In embarrassment, the Korean Sangkook tentatively asked the envoy how much food he needed.

And the envoy of Zhao Guo is obviously waiting for your questioning, and immediately reported a figure that Han Zhiguo couldn't make up anyway.

couldn't help but make the expressions on the faces of everyone present extremely exciting, confused, angry, and even frightened, but none dared to speak out angrily.

This is no longer to borrow grain, it is clearly here to find fault.

It's a pity that with the strength of Han Zhiguo now, he is not the opponent of the thriving Zhao State at all, especially since his "father" has retreated to Hedong, and Han Zhiguo, who is almost under the minions of Zhao State, is naturally trembling.

Even if he knew that the words of the envoy of Zhao State were looking for fault, no one from Han Zhiguo dared to refute it at all.

King Han and Xiangguo glanced at each other, and their eyes were full of helpless anxiety.

After saying it, Xiangguo bought two days of time for Han Zhiguo to discuss.

However, how can the country of Han be discussed now......
