Chapter 371, Three Families Divide Yan, Guo Kai's Wisdom (Asking for a Monthly Pass!! )
After Li Huai discussed with Guo Yuan what to deal with Chen Ping and prepare to attack those families, Guo Yuan left the Li Mansion, leaving Li Huai standing at the door of the Li Mansion to greet Chen Ping.
After Guo Yuan left the Li Mansion, after turning around and walking into a small alley, someone opened a door, Guo Yuan walked straight in, and a man dressed in wealth and dignity saluted Guo Yuan
"Brother Guo."
"Brother Ju." Guo Yuan replied.
The person who greeted Guo Yuan was none other than the head of the Ju family, Ju Wu's cousin, Ju Wen.
"It's already ready inside, and the drama brother is in the house." Ju Wen said.
"Please!"
The two walked hand in hand into an attic, and when they went up to the second floor, a man was sitting cross-legged on the bed, and some fruits and vegetables and wine were placed on the table in front of the man. Men are the clansmen of the dramatist, and the descendants of the drama are long-lasting.
After seeing Guo Yuan and Ju Wen arrive, the drama Changkong smiled faintly
"The two of you are finally here."
"I told my nephew who didn't make it a few more words, and I delayed it for a while." Guo Yuan sat opposite the drama Changkong and said.
"Don't worry, Chen Ping hasn't arrived yet." The drama Changkong glanced out the window and said.
The window of this attic is facing the gate of the Li Mansion, and outside the window, Li Huai and his subordinates are standing outside the Li Mansion, waiting for Chen Ping's arrival.
"Brother Guo, didn't you tell Li Huai about our plan?" The drama Changkong looked at Li Huai outside and said.
Guo Yuan shook his head and said
"Naturally no, my nephew is too young to be Chen Ping's opponent, I'm afraid that after telling him, Chen Ping will guess something from his words."
"Brother Guo is cautious, the kid of the Qin family, it would be good if Qin Wuyang had one percent of Brother Guo's caution, a descendant of a general, he actually spent all day with those rangers, thinking that he was the best to eliminate evil, if I hadn't sent someone to save him, he had been caught by the Qin army at this moment, and our plan might have failed." Ju Wen said with a somewhat ugly face.
"What did that kid from the Qin family do again?" Drama Changkong asked a little nervously.
"A few days ago, he took some rangers to attack the county magistrate's government in Xia County, and was discovered by the Qin army when he was on the road, and those rangers were killed without even blocking a charge from the Qin army, and if Qin Wuyang was not frightened by the Qin army, he saw that the situation was not good, and left those rangers and ran, met my guards, and was saved by my guards, I am afraid that at this moment it is already the head of the Qin army's military merits.
Not only is Qin Wuyang going to lose his head, I'm afraid that in order to protect himself, he will betray us and tell Qin Jun about our efforts to gather righteousness to restore Yan Kingdom! Ju Wen said with anger in his eyes.
If the rebellion goes wrong, it will be a losing game and the whole family will lose their heads. After the surrender of the Yan State, the three families of the drama Guo Ju have been secretly planning the recovery of the Yan Kingdom, but the three families alone cannot fight against the tens of thousands of Qin troops under Li Xin, so they have been secretly wooing everyone who can be wooed.
Because of the implementation of the Qin Law, the magnates of the old Yan Kingdom have lost their former privileges, so the matter of the three families winning over the magnates is very smooth, and their rebellion has reached the final stage, and it is the critical moment that Qin Wuyang was almost arrested, which naturally made Ju Wen angry.
"I often hear people say that Qin Wuyang, the Qin family, is quite bold, and he dared to kill people on the street at the age of thirteen, how could he be frightened by the Qin army?" Li Huai asked curiously.
Qin Wuyang killed people on the street at the age of thirteen, and the people in Jicheng had heard about it, and people praised Qin Wuyang's courage.
"When my guard saw him, he was drowning in his pants, and his eyes were full of fear, and I don't know how such a man can be called bold. We shouldn't have informed the Qin family of our big things, they almost ruined our big things. Ju Wen said angrily.
"The general Qin Kai of that year fought the Hu people in the north for my Yan country, laid down a territory of thousands of miles, and had a very high reputation in the army, especially among the Hu people. The forces in our hands are not the opponent of the Qin army at all, and only by relying on the influence of the Qin family in the Hu people and the Yan army can we win over the Yan army, and only in this way can we have a greater chance of success. The drama Changkong patted Ju Wen's shoulder and said.
The Qin family has a huge influence in the Yan army, and many of the Yan troops who surrendered are generals from the Qin family, and if the three families want to rebel and restore the Yan country, they can't get around the Qin family.
"In order to recover the Yan Kingdom, Brother Ju should be patient, the Qin army was born in the army, and he acted recklessly. I'll remind them later. The drama Changkong said with a smile.
The dramatist was also born by virtue of his military merits, and his influence in the Yan army is also the highest, and the Qin family was also wooed by him, so it was naturally up to him to remind him. The reason why the three families are called the top magnates of the Yan State is precisely because the three families occupy the three aspects of the military power, the political power and the civilian scholars of the Yan State, the military power of the dramatist, the regime of the Guo family, and the influence of the Ju family among the elites, the three complement each other, basically monopolizing the upper echelons of the Yan State, which is also the confidence and reason why the three families want to recover the Yan State.
In the Qin State, the three of them are just local elite families, not to mention power, it would be good not to be targeted by the county guard. Instead of being a fish on the chopping board, it is better to fight to become the one who holds the knife, and now the prestige of the Yan royal family is disgraced because of the fact that Yan Wangxi escaped and was captured, and the three of them are the peak of prestige, if the Qin army is expelled and the Yan country is recovered, then the royal family of the Yan country is them.
"That's it, it's not just the Qin family, let our people be more restrained these days, it's the critical moment, wait until Zhao Guo Guo Kai gives us news, we should work together to defeat the Qin army, and then they will do whatever they want." Ju Wen said.
At the beginning, the complete Yan Kingdom could not stop the Qin army, let alone the current Yan Kingdom, so the three families unanimously decided to ask for help, but now there are only Zhao, Qi and Hu people around the Yan Kingdom. Qi State doesn't have to think about it, if you go to contact Qi State privately, I'm afraid that as soon as you say the news, you will be sold by Qi State to Qin State. As for the Hu people, although the three of them were ministers of the country, they were not humiliated enough to ask the Hu people for help to restore the country. So only Zhao Guo remained, and Zhao Guo was also their best choice, after all, after the Yan State was completely destroyed, Zhao Guo would no longer have the possibility of fighting against Qin State.
"Can Guo Kai agree to our conditions?" Guo Yuan said with some skepticism.
The matter of contacting Guo Kai is done by Ju Wen, the person who contacts the outside world and gathers civil forces is done by Ju Wen, Guo Yuan is responsible for winning over the powerful, and the drama Changkong is responsible for winning over the surrendered Yan army, the division of labor of the three families is very clear, they are all doing their own things wholeheartedly, and they don't know other people's affairs at all. So Guo Yuan didn't know about Zhao Guo, but according to his understanding of Guo Kai, he didn't think that Guo Kai could help them restore the country, after all, Guo Kai was a famous Qin faction.
"Brother Guo can rest assured, Guo Kai is not a Qin faction, but simply greedy. Don't you think Guo Kai wants to meddle in the military power of Zhao State? Li Mu and Guo Kai are mortal enemies, and the military power in Li Mu's hands is what Guo Kai has always longed for, and the matter of helping Yan is the best way for him to get military power, so he naturally will not refuse. And the man I sent with him a full ten carts of money and jewels, he will surely be tempted. Ju Wen said proudly.
"It's still Brother Ju who knows a lot about the situation." Guo Yuan said with a smile.
"How did Brother Guo woo those powerful people?" Drama Changkong asked.
"Most of them are already on our side, and three of the remaining people are in a wait-and-see state, and those seventy percent have given up on the Yan State and are ready to take refuge in the Qin State. They can't affect the overall situation, they're just some grass on the wall. Guo Yuan said with a smile.
"The wall grass also has the use of the wall grass, after all, we still have to rely on them to attract the attention of Chen Ping and Li Xin." Ju Wen raised his glass and said.
"Yes, I also hope that my nephew can successfully disrupt Chen Ping's vision and create opportunities for us." Guo Yuan said with a wine glass.
"Hahaha, I hope we go well." The drama Changkong said with a wine glass.
The three of them clinked glasses and drank all the wine in the glasses, and there was a noisy sound outside the window, and the three of them looked up and saw that Chen Ping had already arrived at the gate of the Li Mansion, and Li Huai pulled Chen Ping into the Li Mansion.
Zhao Guo, Guo Kai looked at the palm-sized tiger-shaped plaything made of jade in his hand, his eyes were full of love, and he kept playing with this jade tiger with one hand.
"Guo Xiang, the head of my family said that as long as Guo Xiang can move King Zhao to help us revive the Yan Kingdom, we can help Guo Xiang divide Li Mu's military power, and Zhao and Yan will sign an alliance from now on, and there will be no more war, and they will work together to resist Qin, what do you think?" Ju Wen's lobbyist asked with a smile.
Guo Kai didn't go to see the lobbyist, but opened another box, and looking at the ginseng with thick arms inside, Guo Kai was suddenly surprised and didn't know how to speak.
The lobbyist looked at Guo Kai's appearance and stepped forward to explain
"Guo Xiang, this is a full millennium Liaodong ginseng king, the original thirty ginseng pickers went deep into the wild mountains and forests of Liaodong, and finally only one person came back alive, and that person brought back this thousand-year-old Liaodong ginseng king, it is said that this ginseng king has flesh and bones, the miraculous effect of the living dead, and only need to use a little of its essence to increase life expectancy."
Guo Kai looked at the ginseng king inside, his heart was beating uncontrollably, and looking at Guo Kai's excited appearance, the lobbyist said again
"I won't tell you the truth, my head of the family has a prescription left by the Qin Yue people in his hand, which is a record of how to take ginseng correctly to prolong life, and when he came, the head of the family said, as long as Guo Xiang promised to persuade King Zhao to help us recover the Yan Kingdom, not only the prescription was offered with both hands, but also promised to give Guo Xiang ten good century-old Liaodong ginseng and ten boxes of money and jewelry every year."
Guo Kai retracted his gaze and coughed lightly and said
"Is this a person who values wealth over friends? I once had a friendship with the head of the Ju family, and I naturally can't be indifferent if he wants to restore the country, and the Qin State is eyeing my Zhao State, if there is no Yan State, my Zhao State will naturally be difficult to survive. ”
Listening to Guo Kai's boastful words, the lobbyist was very contemptuous in his heart, if Guo Kai really understood the truth of the death of cold lips and teeth, he would not let King Zhao agree to Qin Guo to attack Yan by the way, although the lobbyist despised Guo Kai very much in his heart, but he did not show it at all on the surface, but said in surprise
"It's in Xia Menglang, I heard what Guo Xiang meant, Guo Xiang promised to help us restore the country?"
"Well, after all, it is related to the safety of my Zhao country, and it is not up to the prime minister to decide, the prime minister still needs to report to the king, and then discuss with the courtiers." Guo Kai touched his beard and said.
The lobbyist immediately understood what Guo Kai meant, and just said, this little thing is not enough, and you have to add money.
"This is naturally to bother Guo Xiang, of course, you can't let Guo Xiang worry in vain, there are three cars of jewelry outside, and Guo Xiang is invited to accept it, it will be Guo Xiang's banquet to invite Zhao Guo's famous ministers." The lobbyist said with a smile.
"You, didn't you push your true nature to the greed for money and righteousness? The friendship between the prime minister and the Ju patriarch can not be compared with money? This is sure to convince the king. Guo Kaiyi said rhetorically.
"It's under Meng Lang, then thank you Guo Xiang." The lobbyist said with a smile.
"It's all for my friendship with the Ju Patriarch, but I still need you to tell me what the hell are you going to do? If the probability of success is higher, the possibility of convincing the king is also greater. Guo Kai said as he played with the jade tiger in his hand.
The lobbyist was a little hesitant, after all, this matter was about their net worth and life.
"What, are you afraid that your true colors will be revealed? If you don't believe in true self, please take these things with you. Guo Kai lowered the jade tiger in his hand, and his face turned cold and said.
Seeing that Guo Kai was angry, the lobbyist no longer hesitated, but hurriedly said
"Please calm your anger, it's not that I don't believe you, it's that I'm sorting out my words in my head. Our Plans"
The lobbyist told the three Ju Guo opera families about their intention to plan the recovery of Yan Kingdom, but only said the general situation, and the lobbyist kept silent about some specific things.
"Such a plan is seamless, the prime minister is sure to persuade the king to send troops, and the guest envoy please go back and wait for my news, and I will enter the palace to meet the king immediately." Guo Kai said.
"Then thank you Guo Xiang."
Seeing Guo Kai agree, the lobbyist was also relieved and left the Prime Minister's Mansion accompanied by Guo Kai.
Guo Kai, who returned to the room, looked at the jewelry and ginseng in front of him and didn't know what he was thinking, the housekeeper stood at the door and looked at Guo Kai and asked in a low voice
"Xiangye, aren't you going to enter the palace to see the king?"
"See what kind of king, go and ask Mr. Soul to come over the mansion." Guo Kai said as he lowered the jade tiger in his hand.
The butler was stunned for a moment, but then he left the door of the room and went to find the soul candle.
Guo Kai looked at the direction the housekeeper left and muttered to himself
"Money is a good thing, but you have to spend your life to do it, although you are greedy, you value your life even more, and the complete Yan Kingdom can't stop the Qin State, let alone you now? Is it really whimsical? ”
Guo Kai watched these jewels close the box, quietly waiting for the arrival of the soul candle, Guo Kai was still a little sober in the face of the situation, the whole world was already in the bag of the Qin State, he had worked hard to get close to the Qin State in order to make a living for himself, how could he cut off his way because of this money.
What's more, the money has already reached his hands, and it is up to him to decide whether to do it or not.
"The Qin State may not give less." Guo Kai's face showed a little disdain.
