In the forty-eighth year of King Qin, the seventh year of King Zhao, on the summer solstice, Qin and Zhao would be allied.

With a gloomy face, Pingyuan Jun sank the jade bi and the three animals by the Yellow River with the Prince of Qin, and swore to the sky: Qin and Zhao will form an alliance and never go against each other! Both knew in their hearts that such an oath would not mean anything, but it had to be fulfilled. The two sides saluted as if they were ceremonial, but after the end, there was not even any extra cold noise, and they left each other.

The king of Qin did not give a banquet, and the king of Pingyuan boarded the road back to Handan on the second day of the oath. Because the king of Zhao offered Wei Qi's head, the king of Qin returned the plain king to Zhao as promised.

Pingyuan-kun's mood was very unhappy. Wei Qi came to take refuge in himself, but he was powerless to protect it, and betrayed him, which was a great humiliation; The Qin envoys made a lot of propaganda along the way, showing Wei Qi's head to the public to show Zhao's submission to Qin, and the two great humiliations; After suffering such humiliation, Zhang Lu still did not forget to remind him when he talked with Pingyuan Jun that after returning to China, he would immediately offer the promised six cities, three major humiliations.

Although he suffered three major insults, the king of Qin was not rude to him, and the six hundred guests and retinue accompanying him were well received and placed in a large mansion. Supplied on time every month, when needed, there is no shortage; Even some ad hoc requests can be met. Before leaving, he also gave the goods a hundred times. And in Pingyuanjun's opinion, this is also a kind of humiliation, humiliating Zhao Guo's meanness and neglect to Gongzi Yiren! Pingyuanjun pressed all this in his heart, and everything was aimed at returning to Handan as soon as possible.

When Pingyuan Jun came out, there were already 100 cars, plus the King of Qin, the convoy reached 200 times, and it took nearly a day to send a letter to Guguan; After walking for nearly ten days on the bumpy road of the coffin, he arrived at Luoyang. Pingyuan Jun immediately chartered several large reverse brigades outside Luoyang City, rested for a few days, purchased supplies, and then crossed the river. On the other side of Luoyang is Nanyang in Hanoi, where is Qin's territory, Zhao's sad place, Pingyuanjun is unwilling to go from there, and is ready to separate people and vehicles, cars by land, and people by water. That's where you need to go around merrying. Of course, these tasks do not need to be bothered by Ping Yuanjun, and there are a group of entourages and doormen to handle it.

It was the height of summer, the sun was scorching, and everyone had to hide in the shade of the courtyard at noon. Pingyuanjun lies alone in the back hall, and there are small servants playing fans next to him to enjoy the coolness. The cicadas chirped in the court, inducing people to sleep.

Suddenly, a doorman came over and whispered: "Yu Qing is visiting!" ”

Hearing Yu Qing's name, Ping Yuanjun immediately came to his senses and said, "Change clothes!" Please! ”

When he was young, the fully dressed Pingyuanjun came to the front hall, and Yu Qing was already waiting there.

After the two met, Pingyuan Jun asked: "Qing is alone, there must be a king's order!" ”

Yu Qing said: "If there is no king's order, the minister is not the king's minister!" ”

Pingyuan Jun was shocked and asked, "Why do you say this?" Ning Zhao's rudeness to Mr. Yu? ”

Yu Qing said: "Definitely! Wang arrested Wei Qi and fled to the place. The king of ministers shall not say in the end, but abandon the officials and run with him. It is congested on the way, and it is blocked in Ye. The minister was willing to ask for the help of the king of Xinling, and Chi also, Qi Sui killed himself. The only minister is Xinling Jun to welcome to Daliang and now lives there. ”

Pingyuanjun didn't expect that there were many twists and turns, and sighed: "What do you mean to get this, what do you mean to get this!" How did the king get Weizier? ”

Yu Qing said: "Wang Zhijun was left by Qin, and he lost his ground, so he didn't know why, he followed Qin's will, wanted to get Wei Qi, and Feng Zhi entered Qin, so he sent troops to surround his house. Qi died, self-slaughtered in Ye, for the king's gains, is to behead his head and serve Qin! ”

Pingyuan Jun said: "Qi is poor to vote, and the friendship of friends is also." I keep it and sell it again, how can I treat the people of the world! ”

Yu Qing said: "Qiang Qin is tyrannical, and those who are as expensive as a monarch still don't protect themselves, and they don't care about others!" Today, Qin has been suffering for a long time, I wish you a call, and the world will not dare to disobey. The shame of selling friends in the snow, and the hatred of the newspaper Changping, are today. ”

Pingyuan Jun said: "This wish for victory is also unexpected!" ”

Yu Qing said: "The three Jin are one, and this brother is also." Han Wei wants to be indulgent no matter what. Changping also has to smell it before! Chu lost his homeland, gave birth for ten years, and wanted to return to the old capital. When the Chu people heard Qin, they didn't want to gnash their teeth! This is not to be said. Although Yan Qi has a gap with Zhao, he has a small grudge. If you give less land to settle down, you will be helped. The world is all to Zhao and turn back on Qin, Zhao because of it, although Hangu has no foot in the palace, the situation is the party! ”

Pingyuanjun asked cautiously: "Qing's plan is also, he plans it, he plans it?" ”

Yu Qing said: "This letter Lingjun's plan is also, how can the minister know it!" ”

Pingyuan Jun said: "Xinling Jun can see it? ”

Yu Qing said: "The minister obeys the order of the king of Xinling and sees the king, and he does not dare to deceive!" ”

Pingyuan Jun said: "What Mr. taught, I dare not forget." If you enter Handan, you will report to the king. Mr. Zhao is rude to Mr., I hope Mr. will not be guilty, dare to invite Suisheng into Handan, and the king will make amends! ”

Yu Qing said: "Zhao Wang Dechen, and the minister turned his back, disloyal and unjust, and did not dare to re-enter Handan!" Now living in the beam, but with food and clothing, he will not dare to take riches. Don't dare to forget Zhao Deye! ”

Pingyuan Jun saw that Yu Qing said so sincerely, and he didn't force it. ordered someone to serve a pulp, the two drank it, and Yu Qing resigned.

Pingyuanjun returned to the back hall, undressed himself, and lay down in the middle of the seat. Thinking about what Yu Qing said, he was not only sad for Yu Qing to leave, but also carefully pondering Yu Qing's words, what he was particularly concerned about was that Yu Qing said that he came on the order of Ling Jun, is it really false? Such a lobbyist always makes false statements and deceives others, thinking that he is self-interested. Pingyuanjun had to take precautions, but he couldn't find a good way to verify it.

At dusk, someone reported that Pingyuan Jun and Su Li had come to visit.

Su Li was Dr. Zhou, a famous lobbyist at the time. After the Changping War, when Yu Qing was in charge of the diplomacy of the princes, Su Li once came forward on behalf of Yu Qing and sent an envoy to Xianyang, on the one hand, he divided the relationship between Zhang Lu and Bai Qi, and on the other hand, advocated peace between Qin and Zhao. Both of his goals seem to have succeeded. It can be said that today's alliance between Qin and Zhao was laid by Su Li as the first cornerstone.

The twists and turns in the middle, as the actual administrator of Zhao State, Pingyuan Jun is naturally clear. He immediately went out of the door in person and invited Su Li to the lobby.

Since the summer solstice has just passed, the days are long and the nights are short, although it is close to dusk, the sky is not gloomy. The two came to the screen and sat opposite each other.

Su Li said: "It's very hot, dare to go to the screen!" ”

When Pingyuan Jun heard this, he immediately asked someone to remove the screen in the lobby, and the front and rear doors were opened, allowing the wind to blow through the hall. also said politely: "Sir, and wide clothes!" ”

Su Li said: "That's exactly what I mean. May it be from the king! ”

Pingyuanjun took the lead in withdrawing all his clothes, leaving only the crotch guard. Su Li also withdrew his clothes. The two men were honest with each other. Pingyuanjun called for syrup water and drank with Su Li.

Sitting down, Su Li said: "The king has Xianyang, which will return to Handan, what will be the plan to dedicate to King Zhao?" ”

Pingyuan Jun said: "I have no plan, I hope Mr. will teach me!" ”

Su Li said: "Last year, Yu Qing was ordered by King Zhao to secretly envoy Luoyang and communicate with the princes. Ministers have to be careful. At that time, Zhao Juguo was shocked, and the people could not fight, so the lord and the Qin soldiers were slowed down, so that Zhao had to rest. It's the height of summer, everything is luxuriant, the killing atmosphere is empty, and the vitality has been achieved. The peach is dying, scorching its flower, in fact, when the family room is full and the family is strong. It is not possible to show weakness. ”

Pingyuan Jun said: "Zhao is weaker than the world, what does he say?" ”

Su Li said: "Wei Qi was poor and surrendered to the king, and was sold by Zhao to appease Qin's anger." Zhao's weakness is not obvious! ”

Pingyuan Jun said: "The quality is better than Qin, and the Qin people are threatened by Wei Qi." Wang Aisheng, Suoqi won its head, passed on Xianyang, and the sin of sincerity was also victorious. ”

Su Li said: "As soon as the head of Wei Qi entered Xianyang, and Jun and Qin would be allied on the river, and the world knew that Zhao Yu was in Qin. ”

Pingyuan Jun said: "It is true, sir's words are also. What can I do? ”

Su Li said: "Qin shows the world to be the head of Wei Qi, but there must be the rest and ask for Zhao Ye." ”

Pingyuan Jun said: "There is no rest. ”

Su Li said: "Definitely." Zhao Yu is in Qin, and the ministers are with Yan. Take the six cities as the concubine, and the minister's plan is also. Nothing left? ”

Pingyuan Jun said: "Qin Gu Suoqi City, but now Wei Qi is the first to enter, not to mention the rest." ”

Su Li said: "Qin Zhi is tired of it! Although it is not enough to meet in person, it must be asked for later. If you can't ask for it, that is, you will follow the soldiers, and Zhao Qike will do it? ”

Pingyuan Jun said: "No." ”

Su Li said: "If it is not only Zhao Ye, none of the princes in the world can resist Qin alone. For the sake of the princes, they should strike at them and resist them with all their might. If Emperor Zhang looks around, he will eventually be a Qin minister! ”

Pingyuan Jun said: "The battle of Changping is also, the princes of Zhao Silian, none of them responded. Now that Zhao Li is bending, who can help the princes? ”

Su Li said: "In the Battle of Changping, Zhao Ming sent Zheng Zhu to envoy Yu Qin to concubine, and secretly used Anping Juntian Dangou to unite the princes to resist Qin. Although Tian Dan is a good look, Qi people are also. Although Zheng Zhu is cheap, so is Dr. Zhao. Those who are close to Qin enter Qin, and those who are sparse enter the princes, and the princes do not help Zhao, so it is not appropriate! If Zhao Ming is envoy to Qin with Anping Jun, and Zheng Zhu is envoy to the princes, the princes will rise up to help. ”

When Pingyuanjun heard this, his face immediately turned red. In his opinion, the envoy is just to convey the intention of King Zhao, as long as he can speak well and speak thoroughly, he can naturally achieve diplomatic results, and he never thought that the envoy candidate would have such a deep meaning.

Su Li didn't seem to see Pingyuan Jun's embarrassment, and continued: "Today, Wei Qi's first entry, and Jun out of Xianyang, and the alliance with Qin, the princes of the world will take Zhao as Qin's vassal, who can help him?" And the Zhao Dynasty and the opposition, there is no one who is as noble as a monarch, but a prince who believes in ......"

Pingyuan Jun immediately understood, and said: "Therefore, you will take victory as your envoy, and you will swim among the princes, and you will have its effect!" ”

Su Li listened to Pingyuan Jun's words, stroked his palms and said: "Good, the words of the king are also, and the world is also hopeful!" The prince will also come to the country, and the princes will dare to come out. A slight wandering, its plan fails! ”

Pingyuan Jun smiled slightly, and asked unexpectedly: "Sir, Zhou Chenye, if you want the world to resist Qin, what is your plan?" ”

Su Li said: "King Zhou, the Son of Heaven also." The trend of the world will return to Qin, and Zhou Ning should not be afraid. It is because of the desire to weaken Qin. ”

Pingyuan Jun said: "Zhou Qi resists Qin Hu? ”

Su Li said: "Zhou, the land is only a hundred miles, and the city is only a few. Qin's war on Zhou, there is no real expansion of land, but there is the name of the Son of Heaven. Don't resist every week, don't resist either, don't resist either! ”
