Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Otherwise, if it spread to the ears of King Zhao, wouldn't that make King Zhao feel that Lu Buwei didn't do his job well?

Regarding Lu Buwei's opinion, the prince obviously hesitated, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Wu Chengjun, if you don't send troops, I'm afraid it's not easy to explain to Wei Guo?"

Although this prince is a serious Qin royal family, it is true, but after all, he has not experienced the orthodox Qin royal family education and the influence of that kind of atmosphere. The thick and dark blood and genes in his bones have not yet been brought out. Be a person who keeps promises.

Lu Buwei said seriously: "Didn't your lord have heard of the idiom towards Qin, Mu and Chu? Nowadays, there are many princes in the world who abandon their covenants for small gains, so what's more? Besides, although the crown prince did not send troops, Li Mu's [-] cavalry and Didn’t Le Cheng’s [-] or [-] troops be restrained by the prince’s order? The [-] troops of Zhao’s army have been restrained by the prince, and I don’t know why Wei Wangyu is dissatisfied.”

Cai Ze finally came to his senses at this time, knowing that Lu Buwei could not continue to dominate like this, so he said again: "Wu Chengjun, if you sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight like this, even if you weaken the countries of the Central Plains, it will not be good for the Great Qin. There is no tangible benefit. Now that many troops and civilians have been mobilized but young and strong do not send troops, I want to see how you will explain to these hundreds of thousands of soldiers!"

Cai Ze also learned to be smart, knowing that he should not continue to entangle with Lu Buwei on the necessity of sending troops, but should start attacking from another side.

As a country founded on the military merit system, although the old Qin people's desire for military merit has been reduced due to repeated defeats, it is still very strong.

If it is true that such a battle is not fought, then the dissatisfaction of the Qin military must be very serious.

Cai Ze didn't believe that Lu Buwei dared to offend the military because of such a thing. There has never been any Xiangbang of Qin who did not have the support of the military to do it for a long time.

Cai Ze thought that he should have caught Lu Buwei's flaw, but he didn't expect that the moment Cai Ze finished speaking, this Mr. Gang Cheng saw a mocking smile in Lu Buwei's eyes.

Did it fall into the trap?

Just when Cai Ze felt something was wrong, Lu Buwei spoke calmly.

"Gang Chengjun's words are indeed good. If the army is moved back and forth out of thin air without sending troops, it will definitely make people extremely dissatisfied. So I have a plan, which can not only allow the soldiers to gain military merits, but also ensure that Daqin can obtain sufficient benefits."

As soon as Lu Buwei said this, the crown prince sitting at the top couldn't help urging: "What is the clever plan, Wu Chengjun, hurry up and tell me!"

Lu Buwei knew it was time, so he stopped talking nonsense, and directly threw out his long-prepared argument.

"Prince, in my opinion, it is better to form an alliance with Zhao Guo and attack Han, Wei and Qi together!"

Chapter 700 Ginger is still old and spicy (first update)

As soon as Lu Buwei said these words, all the monarchs and ministers of the Qin Kingdom in the entire hall were stunned.

Obviously, no one would have thought that Lu Buwei would make such an opinion at this time.

Alliance with Zhao to attack the Three Kingdoms of Han, Wei and Qi?

Surprise, it was too surprising.

There was a moment of silence in the entire hall.

After a while, Gang Chengjun Cai Ze suddenly jumped up, pointed at Lu Buwei, his beard and hair were all stretched out, and cursed: "Lu Buwei, are you crazy? You want Daqin to form an alliance with Zhao?!"

Lu Buwei glanced at Cai Ze calmly, and said to Cai Ze: "Gang Chengjun's words are meaningless, but I would like to ask, what is the reason for my crazy words?"

Cai Ze controlled his mood a little bit, and sneered at Lu Buwei: "Whoever is sitting here doesn't know that it is because of Zhao Guo that Daqin came to where it is today, and Zhao Guo is Daqin's sworn enemy! Now don't you think about it. How can you defeat Zhao Guo? It’s okay to be ashamed, but you still want Daqin to form an alliance with Zhao Guo? It’s simply a trick of lard! I see, you must have taken advantage of the people of Zhao Guo to be here like this Turn black and white!"

benefit?After Lu Buwei heard these words, he couldn't help but sneered in his heart and said, yes, I did receive a benefit, and it was a huge benefit that you can't think of even if you think about it!

But thinking about it, it is naturally impossible for Lu Buwei to say such words in front of many Qin monarchs and ministers.

Lu Buwei sneered at Cai Ze and said, "Gang Chengjun, oh Gang Chengjun, framed his colleagues at will, is this what you, a royal censor, did? But it's not surprising, after all, it's not the first time you have done this. Did it!"

After finishing speaking, Lu Buwei turned his head to the prince of Qin State and said: "Prince Mingjian, everything I do is for the sake of the Great Qin. It is simply nonsense to collude with Zhao State!"

Naturally, Cai Ze didn't believe a word of Lu Buwei's words.

So Cai Ze immediately opened his mouth and asked Lu Buwei: "Then you are talking about it, what is your bad idea for the good of the Great Qin? Is it the greatest benefit for the Great Qin to let the prince go to be a minister to the King of Zhao? "

Cai Ze is worthy of being an old man. As soon as he uttered these words, the princes and ministers of the Qin Kingdom in the hall couldn't help but change their colors slightly, and their eyes on Lu Buwei inevitably became a little more hostile.

Except for Cai Ze and Lu Buwei, most of the ministers of the Qin State present were native-born old Qin people. Most of their lives lived in the era when the Great Qin Tigers watched the world and made the princes tremble.

Now that Da Qin is required to be a minister to Zhao Guo, how can this satisfy the proud old Qin people present?

Although the defeats in the past few years have made everyone in the state of Qin recognize and face up to the strength of the state of Zhao, but this does not mean that Da Qin will bow down to the state of Zhao!

Regarding Cai Ze's question, Lu Buwei coughed, and said in a calm and unhurried manner: "Mr. Gang Cheng's words are wrong. The Qin-Zhao alliance does not mean that the Great Qin wants to submit to the state of Zhao, but just join hands on an equal footing! Besides, isn't it true that Gang Cheng Hasn't Cheng Jun found out yet? As long as Daqin and Zhao Guo join forces, then Han Weiqi will definitely lose!"

Speaking of this, Lu Buwei smiled slightly, and deliberately emphasized his tone: "In this way, Daqin will be able to recapture Nanyang County from South Korea! Re-opening the road from east to south can also comfort the souls of the two former kings!"

Lu Buwei's words sounded very tempting, and many people were shaken and began to think about the possibility of cooperating with Zhao Guo.

Although it is true that everyone hates Zhao Guo, if they can take back Nanyang County by cooperating with Zhao Guo, it seems that this can be done.

But Cai Ze obviously planned to meet Lu Buwei today, and he snorted heavily, and said to Lu Buwei: "Wu Chengjun, although your statement sounds crude and reasonable, but don't forget, Zhao Guo is now the only hegemony country among the princes, and it is the absolute number one in the world!"

"If Daqin is on Zhao's side this time, Daqin will of course benefit after this battle is over, but Zhao will definitely become stronger! If Zhao comes to attack Daqin again, then Daqin will be more powerful now. After offending Han, Wei and Qi, who will help Daqin resist Zhao's attack?"

As soon as Cai Zhe said these words, the Qin ministers who were originally inclined to Lu Buwei suddenly became vacillating again.

No reason, the main reason is that what Cai Ze said is indeed reasonable.

The current state of Zhao is already invincible. If the state of Zhao is allowed to grow up because of this victory, wouldn't it be a threat to the tiger, and Daqin himself will suffer in the end?

If this is the case, then it would be better to knock Zhao Guo to the ground with a stick now, and there will not be so many troubles in the future!

Cai Ze saw that there were many people who supported him, and Lu Buwei seemed to be silent, as if he was a little guilty, and he felt a little proud in his heart.

So Cai Ze pursued the victory and asked Lu Buwei: "Think about it yourself, Wu Chengjun. Even if you don't take back Nanyang County, as long as you can defeat Zhao Guo in this battle, then Daqin can still take back Hedong County and Weihan Passage. Dare Ask Wu Chengjun, is the Hedong County and the Xiaohan Passage more important, or is the mere Nanyang County more important?"

If what Cai Ze said just now was just a little shaken, after Cai Ze finished all the words, most of the ministers of Qin State seemed very moved and wanted to stand up. On Cai Ze's side.

Because what Cai Ze said, there is really nothing wrong with it.

From a geographical point of view, although there are two steel base cities in Nanyang County, Wancheng and Dengcheng, their importance to Qin State is far less than that of Hedong County and Xiaoheng Passage that Zhao State now occupies. .

The loss of Hedong County and Weihan Passage means that the entire Guanzhong portal of Qin State is completely open, which is almost equal to being undefended for Zhao State.

As long as the Zhao people are willing, tens of thousands of Zhao troops can attack Guanzhong along the Hedong County and Weihan passage at any time, posing a serious threat to Xianyang, the core area of ​​Qin's rule.

More importantly, since Zhao State also occupied Hetao and Shuofang counties in the north of Qin State, once the main force of Zhao State sent troops from Hedong County, Li Mu could also lead a partial division from Hetao County to the south to attack Qin State on both sides. A scene that has played out twice in the past few years.

On the other hand, once the Hedong County and Weihan passages are captured, the whole situation will be completely different.

At that time, the Qin people relied on Hedong County and Hangu Pass in the Weihan Passage to form a solid line of defense to block the Zhao people's attack, which had the effect of defending the enemy from outside the country.

At that time, even if Li Mu continued to go south, because there was no Zhao Jun from Hedong County to respond, his threat would not be as good as before, and even the Qin State might surround Li Mu, a lone cavalry that went deep into the army, and eat it. Lose!

All the people present were important ministers of the Qin State. Although not all of them had led soldiers and fought in battles, they still understood the most basic things.

After thinking through these joints, one conclusion seems pretty obvious.

The benefits obtained from defeating Zhao Guo seem to be much stronger than those obtained from defeating South Korea!

Soon, people began to speak out in support of Cai Ze, and not just one or two spoke.
