Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

The more Li Yuan thought about the ins and outs of the whole thing, the more proud he felt.

Do these Zhao people really think that Li Yuan is an idiot?I want to prove it to you now, these ideas of yours are fundamentally wrong!

With these feelings of pride in his heart, Li Yuan said unhurriedly: "Qing Yu, I think it's time to talk about the next thing."

Now that the situation is very good, the next step is naturally to pursue the victory and strike while the iron is hot.

As for Yu Xin, who was sitting in front of Li Yuan, he had calmed down after such a long time, and he looked much better than when he just learned the real identity of Empress Dowager Li.

After all, Yu Xin has been in the political arena for many years, and naturally he has seen a lot of turbulent waves. Before, it was just because things were too sudden and he was out of control. After such a period of buffering, he naturally calmed down a lot.

I saw Yu Xin said to Li Yuan in front of him: "Tell me, what kind of conditions do you want now? I can tell you, even if I agree to your conditions, if these conditions cannot be agreed by the king, then It's also useless."

Li Yuan nodded with a smile on his face and said, "Don't worry, Yu Qing, I can save these things."

Although Li Yuan was not a high-ranking official of the Chu State, after all, for a long period of time, as the confidant of Yin Chunshenjun Huang Xie, the order of the Chu State at that time, he also participated in many decisions and negotiations of the Chu State.

Negotiation, although it is true that the power to determine whether the negotiation is successful or not is in the hands of the monarch, but the owner of the negotiation also plays a very important role in the negotiation.

Otherwise, why would Zhao Guo send an important minister like Yu Xin to Yingdu?

Moreover, in terms of Yu Xin's status in the Zhao Kingdom after Pingyuan Lord Zhao Sheng, as long as Yu Xin leans towards Li Yuan's side, then Zhao Dan must carefully and carefully consider Yu Xin's opinion.

It is precisely because of the comprehensive consideration of the above points that Li Yuan went to such great lengths to set up such a beauty trick for Yu Xin.

As the saying goes, it's up to people to order.

If it were any other ordinary Zhao Guo envoy, Li Yuan really wouldn't do this, at least he wouldn't let Mrs. Li do it later.

Li Yuan coughed and said sternly: "Yu Qing, it's like this. I know that King Zhao likes land the most, so this time I am willing to give the Korean land that Chu State occupied in the last war as Zhao State's land." The reward for sending troops to eliminate the rebellion of the three major families. But one thing, if the Zhao army enters the territory of Chu, then I must have the command of this army."

In the last Zhao State’s war against South Korea, Chu State assisted South Korea in name, but in fact, it took advantage of the siege of Yangzhai and Xinzheng in South Korea to occupy a large area of ​​land on the border between Chu and South Korea.

Although the people of Chu State chose to withdraw their troops voluntarily due to civil strife and winning rate in the following war, after the war, nearly one-third of South Korea's land was still in the hands of Chu State.

And now, Li Yuan is planning to use these places as a price in exchange for Zhao Guo's sending troops.

Yu Xin shook his head resolutely without even thinking about it, and said, "This is absolutely impossible."

Yu Xin's refusal did not seem to be beyond Li Yuan's expectation, which can be seen from Li Yuan's still quite calm face when he spoke: "Why is this?"

Don't look at Yu Xin who seemed a little embarrassed because he fell into Li Yuan's trap before, but after all, he is one of Zhao Dan's most important ministers of the State of Zhao. He has stood firm in the political arena of the State of Zhao over the years and has become stronger and stronger , naturally has its own ability.

At this moment, Yu Xin has entered the role of such a negotiator, and said in a deep voice: "First of all, since South Korea has been destroyed, all the land in South Korea should belong to Zhao State. The bargaining chip for the country to send troops is simply ridiculous! Secondly, the command of the army is the most important thing, and it is absolutely impossible for my king to agree to hand it over."

Yu Xin looked at Li Yuan and said in a deep voice: "I know what you want to say, but you have to understand that if such a decision is reported, I will lose my official position and the trust of the king, and you and Chu Wanghan will lose their trust." What you want is your life and future! Think about it for yourself."

Li Yuan was silent.

Even though he was reluctant to admit it, Li Yuan knew very clearly in his heart that what Yu Xin said was really not wrong at all.

After being silent for a long while, Li Yuan finally said, "In this case, according to Yu Qing's opinion, how much should Chu State pay?"

Chapter 923 Negotiation with Li Yuan (Second Change)

Both Li Yuan and Yu Xin are very clear that if they want Zhao Guo to help them this time, then Chu State, or Li Yuan must pay a price that can satisfy Zhao Wang.

Yu Xin said in a deep voice: "It is actually very simple to satisfy the king. First of all, in addition to the Korean land occupied by Chu in the last war, Chu has to pay at least two counties. Secondly, It is absolutely impossible for you to get involved in the command of the army, if the army enters the territory of Chu State, then how to act is the business of our Zhao State Commander, and you cannot interfere in any way."

Li Yuan was quite dissatisfied when he heard this, and immediately said angrily: "Two counties? Today's Chu State is only six counties. If you cede two counties to Zhao State at once, then how can I survive in the future Chu State?" A foothold in the court? And if Zhao Jun goes his own way after entering the country, how do I know that Zhao Jun won't kill me after killing Jingtong and other three major families?"

Yu Xin shrugged his shoulders, put on an expression of helplessness, and said: "I can tell you very clearly that your plan has succeeded, and I will indeed speak for you on this matter. But to help you The premise of speaking is that your conditions cannot be too different from those offered by Jing Tong, otherwise, even if I strongly support you, the king may not necessarily accept my opinion."

Li Yuan's face was uncertain, and after a long while he gritted his teeth and said, "In this case, I can cede a county to Zhao Guo, but I don't need Zhao Guo to send troops, I just need Zhao Guo to go there." The prisoners of the Chu army captured in the past few years will be returned to me."

Yu Xin was silent for a while, and said: "If that's the case, you must redeem these captives with money, and the maximum number of redeemed cannot exceed [-]."

"Twenty thousand?" Li Yuan stared at Yu Xin viciously, and said, "Now I and Jing Tong each have nearly 2 soldiers and horses. How can you tell me that these 5 people can be of great use? No, at least It takes [-] people! Otherwise, you will just wait for the news of your love affair to appear on the desk of King Zhao of Handan Longtai!"

Yu Xin snorted, apparently quite dissatisfied with Li Yuan's blunt threats, but in the end he relented and said: "Then let's say 3 people, no more, I can persuade the king to give them some armor and weapons You need to know that the soldiers under your command are all stragglers, how can their combat power be compared with those of the captives of the Chu army who have experienced battles? With these 3 people, you are already enough to sweep the three major families."

Seeing that Yu Xin had let go, Li Yuan was naturally unwilling to force him too much, so he slowed down his tone and said, "That's fine, tell me, can this condition satisfy your King Zhao?"

Yu Xin thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Whether this condition can satisfy my king depends on what bargaining chips Jing Tong can see."

"This damned Jingtong!" Li Yuan punched the table angrily.

What Yu Xin said is indeed true.

Now the Zhao people made it clear that they wanted to wait for the price, see which side had the higher bid, and then sent troops to help which side.

This made Li Yuan still very passive even though he had plotted against Yu Xin, because Jing Tong's bid was not something that Li Yuan could decide or control.

After thinking for a while, Li Yuan said unwillingly: "Zheng Zhu is your deputy envoy, can't you communicate with him and hide the bargaining chips from the three major families?"

Yu Xin snorted, looked at Li Yuan with the eyes of an idiot, and said, "Don't you know that Hu Yiwei's eyeliner is everywhere in this mission? It is impossible to hide this matter. Besides, Zheng Zhu and you are not of the same heart, otherwise, why would the king send him to come with me as a deputy envoy?"

The two discussed it, and before they knew it, it was already lunch time.

To Yu Xin's surprise, or rather embarrassment, during lunch, the Empress Dowager Li of Chu State who had spent the Spring Festival with him last night also appeared.

Of course, this time the Empress Dowager Li did not appear as a singer or a court lady as before, but brought the young Chu Wanghan together in the name of having lunch with Zhao Guo's envoy.

During the whole lunch, Yu Xin could always feel the eyes of Empress Dowager Li staring at him tightly, as if he wanted to wipe himself clean.

This made Yu Xin suddenly aware of the fact that it had been almost a year since the death of King Yuan of Chu. As a woman, Empress Dowager Li happened to be at a wolf-like age again.

"It's no wonder she was so crazy last night." Yu Xin thought about the beauty of last night, and unconsciously felt a little fiery feeling in his heart.

But Yu Xin quickly suppressed this feeling, because Yu Xin also knew very well that the reason why Li Yuan moved Empress Dowager Li out again was that he wanted to make the most of Empress Dowager Li's beauty, so that he could Fascinated, which made the situation more favorable for Li Yuan.

After thinking of this, Yu Xin left Miyagi of Chu State in the name of discussing with Zheng Zhu after eating.

Yu Xin soon met Zheng Zhu.

Judging from Zheng Zhu's blushing face and smiling face, and his vain walk, Yu Xin suddenly had some malicious speculations in his heart. Maybe Zheng Zhu should have experienced a long and comfortable night just like himself yesterday. .

It's just that even if Zheng Zhu sleeps with a few more women from the three major families, it is impossible for the three major families to use this matter to blackmail Zheng Zhu, but Yu Xin

Yu Xin coughed, suppressed his complicated mood, and then said to Zheng Zhu, "Zheng Qing, tell me about the information you got from the three major families."

What surprised Yu Xin was that the conditions Zheng Zhu got were not too different from the conditions Yu Xin got from Li Yuan.

It is also the cession of a county, the same requirement that Zhao Jun cannot enter the territory of Chu State, and the same requirement that Zhao Guo release the captives.

It's just that the three major families seem to be more generous here, expressing their willingness to use money to purchase a sum of equipment from Zhao Guo to arm these captives so that they can return to the battle as quickly as possible.

Yu Xin pondered for a while, then said: "It seems that this should be the bottom line of the Chu people, and the Chu people are still very worried about the entry of our Zhao army."
