After a while, Duan Ganzi let out a long breath and said, "Since that's the case, then why did you come this time?"

Mao Sui also breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Duan Ganzi: "To tell you the truth, this time Mao Sui came here at the order of my king, hoping to negotiate a deal with Mr. Wu Xiang."

"Deal?" Duan Ganzi couldn't help being stunned when he heard the words, and then said in a deep voice, "What kind of deal?"

Mao Sui smiled, and said to Duan Ganzi: "As long as Wu Xiangjun is willing to pay a certain price, then Zhao Guo is willing to help Wu Xiangjun solve Tian Chong's serious problem."

Duan Ganzi immediately narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard the words, thinking that he had figured out Mao Sui's reason for coming.

To put it bluntly, this time Mao Sui came to take advantage of the fire on behalf of Zhao Guo.

Zhao Guoren now knows about Duan Ganzi's internal and external troubles, so he wants to take advantage of this time to ruthlessly kill Duan Ganzi a few times.

Duan Ganzi pondered for a moment, then said slowly: "In this case, then I would like to ask, what kind of benefits does King Zhao want from me?"

Mao Sui said: "My king hopes to obtain the four cities of Luyang, Kunyang, Xiangcheng, and Zhaoling from Mr. Wuxiang, as well as all the land under the jurisdiction of these cities."

Duan Ganzi gasped when he heard the words, and said to Mao Sui in front of him, "King Zhao has a really big appetite."

When speaking, Duan Ganzi unconsciously carried a bit of murderous intent in his tone.

Mao Sui smiled slightly, and said to Duan Ganzi: "But Mr. Wu Xiang is in a lot of trouble, isn't he? Please Mr. Wu Xiang think about it carefully. Compared with the land of these four cities and the whole country of Wei, how important is it? How heavy is it?"

This sentence clearly hit Duan Ganzi's weakness.

Duan Ganzi's face changed again and again, and after a full cup of tea, he said: "How will Zhao Guo deal with Tian Chong?"

Mao Sui showed a very sunny smile: "Mr. Wu Xiang can think about how King Wei died unexpectedly at the New Year's Day dinner?"

Duan Ganzi's face changed when he heard the words, thinking that Mao Sui was mocking himself, but Duan Ganzi suddenly understood when the words came to his lips, and his face suddenly became very gloomy.

"So, are you finally willing to admit that Hu Yiwei did the king's death?"

Mao Sui's smile became even brighter: "What Mao Sui only knows is that as long as Tian Chong dies, then the [-] troops under Tian Chong's command and the entire Wei Kingdom will all belong to Lord Wuxiang."

Duan Ganzi hesitated for a while, and finally said through gritted teeth: "No, I can't accept such a condition. Unless King Zhao can put pressure on Chu State, so that Chu State can cease war with Wei State!"

This time, the silence turned into Mao Sui.

After a while, Mao Sui said again: "If that's the case, then Chen Cheng must be added!"

"Including Chen Cheng's words, then the Chu people must make concessions!"

After some bargaining, the two finally reached an agreement.

Duan Ganzi promised to cede all the land requested by Mao Sui to Zhao Guo, but in response, Zhao Guo must help Duan Ganzi kill Tian Chong, and let Tian Chong's [-] Wei troops belong to Duan Ganzi Under his command, and let Chu State agree to use the current actual control line between Chu and Wei as the border to cease war with Wei State.

After fulfilling all the conditions, Mao Sui stood up confidently and said to Duan Ganzi: "Mr. Wu Xiang, I will return to Handan to report to the King. If there is no unexpected situation, then I will When spring comes, Mr. Wu Xiang should be able to hear the good news."

After saying this, Mao Sui saluted Duan Ganzi, and then Shi Shi ran out.

Duan Ganzi watched Mao Sui's figure disappear from his sight, and a thought suddenly popped up in his heart.

Perhaps, this guy should be killed directly.

7Chapter 17 Ending Prologue ([-]rd update)

A few days later, Zhao Dan in Handan saw Mao Sui who came to return to his command.

To be honest, Zhao Dan is still in a very good mood at this time.

Because in the past few days, the envoys sent by Zhao Dan to the other five countries have returned to Handan one after another, and each envoy brought back news that satisfied Zhao Dan.

South Korea and Chu State have agreed to Zhao Dan's plan of the three countries to carve up Wei State together, and also agreed to the carve-up conditions proposed by Zhao Dan.

According to this partition plan, by that time, Zhao State will be able to occupy at least about 40.00% of Wei State's land and more than half of Wei State's population, which can definitely be said to be an out-and-out bumper harvest.

From the perspective of the entire diplomatic environment, Zhao Dan's diplomatic siege against Duan Ganzi has also been fully formed, and no country will lend a helping hand to Duan Ganzi when the war starts.

But as the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles, so what Zhao Dan wants to know from Mao Sui now is all the specific information about Duan Ganzi from Taoyi City.

"How's the situation?" Zhao Dan asked Mao Sui.

Mao Sui didn't dare to be negligent, and said to Zhao Dan very respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, Ganzi Duan has obviously believed in His Majesty's promise, and thinks that His Majesty will help him get rid of Tian Chong and let him control Wei Guo. "

Zhao Dan asked, "Did he have no doubts?"

Mao Sui said: "Duan Ganzi did have doubts, but what he suspected was that Hu Yiwei was the one who poisoned King Yu of Wei. As for the conditions that the king asked, he obviously thought that it was just that the king wanted to take advantage of the fire, and he did not Do as much as he wants."

The corner of Zhao Dan's mouth twitched slightly when he heard the words, and he smiled, and said to Mao Sui: "Not bad, very good. You did a good job this time."

Yes, the reason why Zhao Dan specially sent Mao Sui to make Mao Sui put forward a lot of decent conditions to Duan Ganzi, and negotiate a deal with Duan Ganzi in a serious manner, of course, was not because he wanted to be real. Make such a deal with Duan Ganzi.

What Zhao Dan hopes to do is very simple, that is to stabilize Duan Ganzi first, so that Duan Ganzi will not act rashly this winter and cause any messy accidents, which will cause the whole situation to escape Zhao Dan's control.

As long as in the spring, Zhao Dan led the coalition forces of various countries to march towards Tao Yiyi, at that time, even if Duan Ganzi knew that he was tricked by Zhao Dan, he would have no choice but to face his cruel fate.

From the very beginning, Duan Ganzi was just a pawn, a pawn that Zhao Dan used to leverage the situation in Wei State and even the entire continent, and finally successfully brought Wei State into Zhao State's pocket.

Zhao Dan thought for a while, and seemed a little worried, so he said to Mao Sui, "Tell me about Duan Ganzi's behavior these days."

Mao Sui nodded and said to Zhao Dan: "My lord, because the whole world believes that Duan Ganzi poisoned the king of Wei, especially many ministers in the state of Wei witnessed it with their own eyes. Therefore, there are always many people in the state of Wei. Ministers loyal to the royal family refuse to recognize the legitimacy of Duan Ganzi's ruling, and have been looking for opportunities to find ways to overthrow Duan Ganzi's rule."

Zhao Dan raised his eyebrows slightly, and said to Mao Sui: "If this is the case, Duan Ganzi must have had a lot of troubles during this time, right?"

Mao Sui nodded and said: "That's right. Duan Ganzi needs at least a thousand soldiers to defend him when he goes out. Even so, he was assassinated many times. One assassin even served nearly a thousand soldiers in his mansion. 20 years old retainer."

Zhao Dan couldn't help laughing dumbfounded when he heard the words, and said: "Since he can be betrayed by his retainers, this gangster is really miserable. With his character, he must not be indifferent to this, right?"

Mao Sui nodded and said, "What your majesty said is right. Many Wei ministers have been arrested, imprisoned and even beheaded. These days, hundreds of corpses are thrown at the gate of the Taoyi vegetable market every day. People in Taoyi are panicking now. According to the king's instructions, I also secretly protected some ministers, and these ministers are also willing to provide some help to the king when the king attacks Taoyi in the future."

Zhao Dan thought for a while, and then said to Mao Sui: "Director Mao, for these Wei ministers, you must let the Hu Yiwei on Zhao's side pay more attention. If you can let them join the widow's command, Then in the future, after the widow conquers the Wei country, the rule of the Wei country's land will be much smoother, understand?"

Mao Sui nodded very respectfully.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Dan turned to Mao Sui and said, "Among the other counties and counties in Wei State, how is the instigation against those county guards and county magistrates going?"

Speaking of which, this move was also learned by Zhao Dan and the Qin Shihuang in history.

The reason why Qin was able to pacify the six countries in ten years was that it was not enough to rule the six countries with Qin's own officials, so Qin recruited a large number of officials from the six countries during this period. Let these officials rule the land for Qin.

Under such guidelines, as long as the Qin army conquers a certain important city, many large and small cities under the city's rule will surrender one after another, and the officials of the six countries will also change instantly. State and Zhao officials turned into officials of Qin State.

Of course, there are disadvantages to doing so.Its disadvantage is that the officials at this time are basically scholars, and scholars are the lowest level of the nobility.

In other words, a large number of old nobles from the six countries successfully mixed into the ruling class of Qin and became Qin's "own people".And these so-called "own people" could not wait to follow Chen Sheng and Wu Guang to raise the banner of rebellion immediately after Qin Shihuang's death, and finally succeeded in counterattacking and destroying the Qin Dynasty.

From the current point of view, Zhao Dan feels that he only needs to pay attention to this "benefit". As for the disadvantages, Zhao Dan also has some solutions, but that is after the complete annihilation of Wei State.
