Li Shiqi was stunned when he heard this, could it be that he had just said the wrong thing? Why did he suddenly turn his face?

Without waiting for Li to think about it, two guards walked up to him and stretched out their hands to signal, "Han envoy, please." ”

Li Shiqi buried his depressed and helpless look deep in his heart, bowed and said, "The foreign minister retires." ”

Not long after Li Shiqi left, Wu Fan came to the lobby, bowed down and said: "Lord Qiqi, the secret agent has come to report that Chu and Han have confronted each other in the Huai'an area, and there has been no battle for five days. ”

"There is news from Linzi that someone in the Han State has proposed an armistice and peace, but there is no follow-up, and it is over. ”

Lin Ze's expression moved slightly: "If it can't be held for a long time, the truce between Chu and Han is imperative, and the alliance with the Han State should not be delayed any longer, but it can be decided as soon as possible." ”

Wu Fan said with a look of surprise on his face: "Are the lords sure that they want to form an alliance with the Han State?"

"Well," Lin Ze responded indifferently: "You act according to the plan, secretly mention the Han envoy, and promote this matter as soon as possible." ”

Wu Fan bowed slightly and said, "Back to the lord of the country, the minister is a little puzzled about this matter." ”

"There is a sentence in the military book that the lord of the kingdom passed on to his ministers before, and there is a sentence in the distant and close attack. In this way, shouldn't Western Qin ally with the state of Chu and send troops together to carve up the state of Han?"

"It's like South Vietnam forming an alliance with Han to jointly attack Chu. Is it because the minister has a misunderstanding of the military book?"

Lin Ze laughed softly: "You understand correctly, according to the Book of War, Western Qin should form an alliance with the Chu State. But the book of soldiers is dead, people are alive, and talking about soldiers on paper is not a good thing. ”

"It seems that an alliance between Western Qin and Chu is more beneficial to Western Qin, but in fact, no matter who Western Qin allies with, the result is not much different. ”

"Because Western Qin is destined to sweep the world, in the face of interests, the covenant is just a piece of waste paper. ”

"In the short term, there are several major advantages to the alliance between Western Qin and Han, one of which is that Chu and Han are about to cease fighting, and Western Qin will have no trouble getting an ally, as well as some substantial benefits, without paying any price. ”

"After all, it is impossible for the Han State to unite with the Western Qin State to provoke a war again as soon as it has a truce with the Chu State. ”

Second, it indirectly disintegrated the alliance between South Vietnam and the Han Kingdom. It created an opportunity for Han Xin to lead his troops to recapture the three provinces of Nanyun. ”

"Since the Han State has formed an alliance with Western Qin, it is naturally embarrassed to help Nanyue deal with Western Qin, and there is a high probability that they will not help each other and be a peacemaker. ”

"With the strength of Western Qin, whether it is Chu Han or South Vietnam, it can be easily destroyed, and if the three kingdoms join forces to fight against Western Qin, it will bring a lot of trouble to Western Qin. ”

"If a paper covenant can solve this problem, why not be alone?"

Lin Ze said a lot, Wu Fan seemed to understand and nodded: "I see, the lord of the country is far-sighted, which is admired by the ministers." ”

Lin Ze waved his hand and said, "Don't pat yourself on the back, go and do things quickly, find a way to touch the bottom of the Han envoy, and try to maximize the interests of Western Qin." ”

"No," Wu Fan replied loudly, bowing and retreating.

......

At the foreign embassy, Li Shiqi asked with an eager look on his face: "My lord, I don't know if you said something wrong, why did the lord of your country suddenly let Zai Xia leave?"

Wu Fan said with a look of hatred: "This official has already told you that you have thought about it, but you have taken this official's words as a deaf ear, and you have not prepared anything. ”

"If it weren't for the fact that this official said all the good things for you in front of the lord of the country, you don't have to think about this alliance, just go back and wait for the Western Qin army to kill it. ”

Li Shiqi said with a grateful look on his face: "Thank you for pleading, dare to ask your lordship, what does your lord think?"

Wu Fan said slowly: "What does the lord think, where can I speculate?" But the lord of the country has only met with you so far, and the envoy of the state of Chu does not have this treatment, so it is still very promising to think about it." ”

Li Shiqi's expression changed, and he suddenly gritted his teeth and said: "Please also ask the adults to help, if the Han Kingdom can form an alliance with the Western Qin, I will give the adults another special product, in addition, there will be special products every year." ”

Wu Fan's eyes lit up slightly and asked, "Like those specialties yesterday?"

Li Shiqi said: "That's nature, how dare you fool adults with other things?"

Wu Fandong looked around, and after making sure that there was no one nearby, he said softly: "You come here with your ears, and this official will teach you a few tricks." ”

When Li Shiqi heard this, the whole person leaned over.

After a while, Li Shiqi frowned slightly and said, "My lord, these conditions seem to be too many and too harsh, I'm afraid that my Han King may not agree." ”

Wu Fan spread his hands and said: "It is precisely because of the many and harsh that it seems that the Han State is full of sincerity, so that it can impress the lord of my family, otherwise, why would the lord of the country agree to form an alliance with the Han State?"

Li Shiqi gritted his teeth slightly and said: "With so many conditions, I really can't be the master, and I must ask for the opinion of King Han." ”

Wu Fan waved his hand and said: "That's your internal affairs, and it has nothing to do with this official, and this official will only say a few more words for the sake of your sincerity." As for whether you listen or not, whether you are willing to do it or not, this official will never interfere. ”

Li Shiqi said solemnly: "Please give me time to consider and inform King Han in the next little time." ”

Wu Fan turned his head and left: "Don't worry, you think about it slowly, this official's words are all here, and there won't be much left, if the lord of the country knows that the official wants to meet you in private, those good words before may be in vain." ”

Li Shiqi quickly stepped forward, blocked in front of Wu Fan and said: "My lord is slow, dare to ask my lord, some of these conditions will be agreed to first, and the rest will be decided when the king of Han sends a message?"

Wu Fan bypassed Li Shiqi: "There is no such precedent at present, the ambassador can give it a try, as for the result, the ambassador has to experience it himself." ”

......

The next day, in the lobby of the Shuhou Mansion, Li Shiqi came here again, bowed down and said, "The foreign minister meets the lord of the country." ”

Compared with before, Dao Lin Ze said: "I heard that you are crying and shouting to see Lone, what's the matter?"

Li Shiqi bowed down and bowed: "The lord of the country, the foreign ministers are still here for the alliance. ”

"In order to show sincerity, the Han State is willing to cede a total of twelve cities outside the Hangu Pass, and send 500,000 gold materials to the Western Qin every year......"

After listening to the series of conditions that Li Shiqi said, Lin Ze said with an uncertain expression: "This is the sincerity of the Han Kingdom?"

Li Shiqi bowed down and replied: "Lord Mingjian, this is indeed the sincerity of the Han Kingdom. ”

Lin Ze immediately ordered: "Come here, let Wu Fan come over to see Gu." ”

Wu Fan, who had been summoned, hurried over, bowed down and said, "I don't know what happened when the lord of the country summoned his ministers?"

Lin Ze pointed at Li Shiqi and said: "The Han Kingdom suddenly showed the sincerity of the alliance, Gu thinks it is okay, you and the Han envoy work together to draw up a copy according to the conditions he just proposed, and present it to Gu for a look." ”

Wu Fan bowed down and replied, "The minister obeys the order." ”

When Li Shiqi heard this, he almost jumped up, this Wu Shangshu really deserved to be the confidant of the Western Qin Lord, and he could guess the conditions expected by the Western Qin Lord.

The lords of Western Qin have ordered the drafting of an alliance, and this matter must be soon.

......

On the third day, Li Shiqi was satisfied with a piece of paper and took a piece of paper into his arms, with a cheerful smile on his face, and finally lived up to his expectations and signed an alliance with Xiqin.

Li Shiqi, who got the covenant, didn't even return to the foreign embassy, and immediately rushed to the Han Kingdom after coming out of Shuhou.
