Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Perseus was anxious.

"I hope to meet your great king. The situation in the Western Regions is very critical now. I have been away from my country for a long time. My country and people are eagerly looking forward to Zhao's reinforcements!"

Perseus was really anxious. After all, anyone who was put under house arrest for several days and then lost contact with all his subordinates would definitely become anxious.

However, no matter how Perseus tried to persuade the Zhao Guo guards in front of him, these men in black were completely unmoved, and they didn't even change their expressions.

After a few days, Perseus's mood became more and more depressed.

This is the end.

Perseus slumped on the chair, and said weakly to the only subordinate who was with him in front of him: "Ales, what do you think Zhao people want to do to us?"

Ales, who had been acting as an interpreter, froze for a moment, then shook his head blankly: "Dear Perseus, Ales doesn't know what these Zhao people want to do, and you know that Zhao people don't know reveal anything in front of us."

Perseus let out a long sigh and remained silent for a while.

At this time, Perseus suddenly regretted his mission this time.

Perhaps, he should have come to this land after learning more about the Zhao country, instead of rushing out in such a hasty way just for credit with just a few words from some captives and merchants.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps.

Perseus lifted his spirits and turned his gaze to the door.

The door was opened, and three people appeared in front of Perseus.

Perseus immediately recognized that one of them was Mao Sui, Zhao Guo's "Minister of Foreign Affairs" who appeared in front of him that day.

But at this moment, Mao Sui was standing respectfully behind a [-]-year-old Zhao Guo man. This man looked like a high-ranking man, and his eyebrows were quite majestic.

There was another man in crimson clothes standing beside this noble man from the Zhao Kingdom. Perseus could tell from his gait that this man had been on the battlefield for a long time, and he should be a general.

Perseus didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly stood up.

Mao Sui introduced: "This is Zheng Zhu, our great traveler, and Li Mu, our northern governor of Zhao State. They came to communicate with the envoy by the order of our king."

"Li Mu?" Perseus had a surprised expression on his face after listening to Ales' translation.

Li Mu's name, Perseus, was very impressive. After all, it was a name that all the Hun captives captured by the Seleucids were terrified of. Whenever this name was mentioned, the Huns acted as if they had seen a ghost.

So Perseus naturally knew that Li Mu was the famous general of Zhao who defeated the Huns and forced the Huns to move westward.

But what surprised Perseus even more was that with Li Mu's status, he could only stand beside this "Zheng Zhu" and act as a supporting role.

It seems that this Zheng Zhu must be a big shot in Zhao.

So Perseus didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly saluted: "Perseus has seen the two adults."

In fact, if Perseus could understand Zhao Guo better, he would know that with the status of Mao Sui and Li Mu, there is no need to be so respectful to the real Zheng Zhu, and he would also know that Zheng Zhu is actually over five years old. Ten, not so young at all.

It's a pity that Perseus has been under house arrest since he came to Handan, and he has no way of inquiring about Zhao Guo.

This "Zheng Zhu" is actually Zhao Dan, the king of Zhao.

Zhao Dan smiled and greeted Perseus to sit down, and then said to Perseus: "I heard that the Perseus envoy wants to join forces with our country to attack the Huns this time?"

After listening to the translation, Perseus was so excited, he hurriedly said: "My lord, that's exactly the case. The Huns brazenly invaded our Seleucid land and killed our people. Zhao Guo's help." After speaking, he bowed his hands to Zhao Dan again and again, and his pleading was beyond words.

Zhao Dan looked at Perseus who was pleading, and there was no disturbance in his heart.

What a joke, it is definitely impossible for this empty talker to want people to send troops.

Perseus' eyes mainly fell on Zhao Dan, but he found that Zhao Dan was completely unmoved, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

Perseus thought for a while and said earnestly: "We heard that the Huns are also Zhao's mortal enemies. Could it be that the powerful Zhao State can tolerate the Huns becoming stronger again by plundering our people and land? ? If that’s the case, the Huns will definitely cause great trouble to Zhao again in the future.”

Zhao Dan finished listening to the translation with a smile, and then said: "Mr. Perseus, I want to remind you that the Huns are the trouble of Ruseliuku, not my country of Zhao."

Perseus was stunned for a moment, looked at the smiling Zhao Dan in front of him, seemed to understand something, and showed a wry smile with some helplessness: "The noble Antiochus II has already spoken, as long as the powerful King Zhao is willing to send troops Help us, we can provide some supplies within our capacity, as a thank you to Zhao Guo for sending troops."

Perseus is also a smart man, knowing that since persuasion with his mouth is not enough to persuade the people of Zhao to send troops, then he can only throw out the ultimate killer benefit.

Zhao Dan smiled and said, "Supplies? Mr. Perseus, you will be free soon, and then you will know that supplies are actually not a big problem for Zhao Guo."

When Zhao Dan said these words, he was full of confidence in his heart.

Perseus was dumb, and it took a long while before he said: "If that's the case, then I don't know what your king wants?"

Zhao Dan said in a very affirmative tone almost without thinking: "Land! My king's request is very simple. All the land occupied by the Huns and then won by us must be returned to our Zhao State after the war." all."

As soon as Perseus heard Zhao Dan's words, he felt overjoyed and wanted to laugh wildly.

You must know that at the beginning, Perseus came to ask for help with the mentality that Zhao people would never be able to defend the Western Regions. As a result, Zhao people don't want supplies, food, and grass. The only thing they want is land. Isn't this right for Perseus? Pretend?

But on the surface, Perseus was still very tangled in thinking for a long time, and then he bargained with Zhao Dan before he agreed.

"Yes, as long as the land can be taken back from the Huns, then all these lands can be owned by the State of Zhao!"

Chapter One Thousand and Four

A moment later, Zhao Dan walked out of the room with Li Mu smiling.

Li Mu asked a little puzzled, "Why didn't Your Majesty expose the identity of this liar?"

On the way here, Li Mu had already learned the ins and outs of the whole incident.

For Li Mu, his idea is actually quite simple.

Whoever deceives the king shall die!

This old liar named Perseus is so blatantly deceiving the king, he is simply damned!

However, the direction of the matter made Li Mu a little puzzled, because it seemed that his king had not gained any benefits after negotiating with Perseus, but instead cooperated with Perseus's performance.

Very strange.

Zhao Dan smiled, and said to Li Mu: "Mr. Wu Xiang, do you also feel that I have lost money in this negotiation?"

Li Mu opened his mouth, but did not speak.

Although it was said that Li Mu seldom accompanied the king, but such an obvious accusation against the king, the governor was really not stupid enough to say it directly.

The smile on Zhao Dan's face became heavier, and after a pause, he said: "Mr. Wu Xiang, from your point of view, among the land, materials, and population, who is the most important?"

Li Mu can answer this question, and he said without hesitation: "My lord, of course the land is the most important thing! Only with more land can we feed more people and produce more supplies."
