Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Zhao Kuo had just woken up, finished washing, and was eating breakfast when he heard the news that Mr. Chunshen was coming to visit.

Zhao Kuo immediately went out to greet him.

"Mr. Chunshen, I'm still eating breakfast, do you want us to come together?"

Zhao Kuo warmly greeted Mr. Chunshen. If he wanted to achieve the diplomatic goal of this trip to Chu, Mr. Chunshen was the most important pawn in Zhao Kuo's hands, so of course Zhao Kuo's attitude would be very good.

Chunshen Jun looked at Zhao Kuo, smiled wryly and said, "Mr. Wu Xin, you were very powerful yesterday, but you caused me quite a problem."

Zhao Kuo feigned surprise: "Problem?

Mr. Chunshen must be joking.

That Jingyang came to provoke me by himself, it is impossible for me to fight back, right?

You have to know that this Marquis not only represents this Marquis himself, but also represents the face of our country of Zhao! "

Chun Shenjun said helplessly: "Wu Xinjun, of course I know what you said is very reasonable, but you have to be considerate of me, okay?

Yesterday you directly belittled our Da Chu army in front of the king, and the king did not get angry on the spot, which is already giving you a lot of face. "

Looking at Jun Shenjun, Zhao Kuo murmured in his heart.

This old guy just complained when he came up, what is he trying to explain?

Could it be that the king of Chu is really angry and is really planning to go to war with Zhao Guo?

wrong.

Zhao Kuo's heart moved slightly, and he noticed something strange.

If the King of Chu really intends to go to war with Zhao Guo, Chunshen Jun would not be so aggressive, but should pretend to be amicable, so that Zhao Kuo would mistakenly think that Chu State would not send troops, so that he could fight back when the war started. A sudden wave of raids made it easier for the Chu army to win the initiative on the entire battlefield.

So Chunshen Jun's current seemingly tough stance is actually nothing more than a psychological means of negotiation.

He just wanted to use this to put pressure on Zhao Kuo so that Zhao Kuo could make more concessions during the negotiations.

Now that he has sensed Chun Shenjun's true thoughts, then things will be easy to handle.

Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "Mr. Chunshen, what you said is true.

After all, the king is a king, and it is really inappropriate for me to say those words in public.

How about this, if you Chu State is willing not to participate in this war, then the demise of Lu State and our Zhao State will be as if it never happened, how about it? "

Didn't Chun Shenjun want to negotiate?

Then talk about it.

The current situation is that Zhao Guo can fight, but he feels that it is unnecessary, so Zhao Guo is willing to pay a certain price in exchange for Chu State not participating in the war.

But the price Zhao Guo paid must not be too much, otherwise it would be better to fight Chu Guo directly.

Then, acknowledging Chu's occupation of Lu is a very suitable condition.

The State of Lu is also an old-fashioned vassal state, a feudal state established by the famous Zhou Gongdan. It lasted for more than 800 years from the founding of the Western Zhou Dynasty until it was destroyed by the Chu State a few years ago.

After being annihilated by Chu State, some of the royal family of Lu State fled to Zhao State for refuge, hoping to restore the country with the help of Zhao State.

It's just that this is no longer the Spring and Autumn Period. How can Zhao Guo have the energy to help Lu Guo restore the country?

If it is really possible to regain the land of Lu State, wouldn't it be good for Zhao State to rule directly?

Although she didn't help restore the country, the Queen Mother who was in power at the time of Zhao State still kept these royal families of Lu State. It was a reason to keep war with Chu State in the future, and it could also disgust Chu State.

In the past few years, when the relationship between Zhao State and Chu State was bad, Zhao State would take out the royal families of Lu State and condemn Chu State. Although it did not cause any substantial damage to Chu State, it was indeed to a certain extent. It has affected the prestige of some Chu countries.

Therefore, Zhao Kuo felt that it would be most appropriate to use this condition in exchange for Chu not sending troops.

Chapter 983 Negotiation between Zhao Kuo and Chun Shenjun

After hearing Zhao Kuo's words, Chunshen Jun also fell into deep thought.

For Chun Shenjun, he actually came to negotiate with Zhao Kuo reluctantly, because Chun Shenjun felt that negotiating with Zhao Kuo was definitely a hard job.

But Mr. Chunshen has no choice, because it is absolutely impossible for Jingyang to come, so among the three major families, the other two will definitely not agree to come, so besides Mr. Chunshen, this is also true. There is no one else.

Negotiations like this are actually more brain-intensive and tongue-in-cheek, and it’s okay if you can negotiate a result, but if you can’t, it’s fine, and you have to take the blame.

After Chunshen Jun thought for a while, he opened his mouth and said to Zhao Kuo: "Wu Xinjun, your condition is too harsh. Our Chu State gave up not only a few cities this time, but just sat and watched South Korea perish. , if you want to get the whole of South Korea, is Zhao Guo only willing to pay for this little thing?"

Mr. Chunshen also understood the essence of price bargaining. Anyway, no matter what Zhao Kuo said, he came up to bargain first, trying to get Zhao Kuo and Zhao Guo to pay more.

Facing Chun Shenjun's bargaining, Zhao Kuo was not surprised. In fact, this kind of bargaining just showed that the people of Chu State were really sincere.

So Zhao Kuo also answered very seriously.

"Mr. Chunshen, you have to know that our Zhao country is now the most powerful country in the world in the true sense. If you talk about other countries, it's fine. South Korea is just a small country the size of a palm. We still have 20 people in our country. The army can be dispatched at any time, and it is simply an easy thing to destroy South Korea.

The reason why I came back here is not to say that with the intervention of your Chu State, we will not be able to perish South Korea.

On the contrary, it is because I think that although Chu State said that it took a detour in the past period of time, after all, it has been an ally with our Zhao State for several years. We are all good neighbors, so I don’t want our two countries to fall into a conflict. in a war.

Otherwise, let me ask, if the 20 troops in Handan City really go south, will your country of Chu have a way to deal with it? "

It is impossible for Chun Shenjun to bargain on Zhao Kuo's side, and Zhao Kuo's side will not give him this kind of room for bargaining. After all, Zhao Guo's strength is stronger now.

Since Zhao Guo is stronger, how can there be a possibility that the strong will cede land to the weak in this world?

Anyway, from Zhao Kuo's point of view, Chun Shenjun's idea is absolutely unacceptable.

After hearing Zhao Kuo's words, Chun Shenjun was stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect Zhao Kuo to reject Chun Shenjun's proposal so simply and directly, and it seemed that there was no room for negotiation.

In this case, Chun Shenjun was actually a little embarrassed, because he originally thought that Zhao Kuo and Zhao Kuo should have to make some concessions, instead of being so aggressive as they are now. Jun Shen couldn't accept it.

And if Mr. Chunshen replied to the King of Chu like this, the King of Chu would definitely be angry.

So Chunshen Jun immediately protested.

"Wu Xinjun, what you said is wrong.

Since your country of Zhao does have an army of 20, please don't forget that our country of Chu and your country of Zhao are not the only ones in this world.

Once we send troops from Chu State, the people of Qin State will surely step in soon because of their hatred for Zhao State for so many years in the past. In this way, as long as we call Qi State, we can also organize a 40 An army of ten thousand people.

I would like to ask, when your 20 army of Zhao Guo is facing our 40 army, do you really think that you can win? "

It has to be said that after all, Lord Chunshen is also one of the four famous gentlemen of the Warring States period in history, and he is quite capable.

So even when arguing with Zhao Kuo, at least it can be back and forth, so that Zhao Kuo won't refute it as soon as it comes up, and be speechless.

Looking at Chunshen Jun's expression, Zhao Kuo didn't feel any anger in his heart, instead he still had some urge to try.

For Zhao Kuo himself, he has not met anyone who can argue with him equally for a long time. To some extent, this is also a kind of loneliness that is invincible.

Now that at least Chunshen Jun, a relatively capable opponent, came, Zhao Kuo naturally had the fighting spirit all at once.

So Zhao Kuo also said to Chunshenjun unhurriedly: "Chunshenjun, what you said sounds like a little bit of truth, but as long as you think about it carefully, you will know that the logic inside is basically Vulnerable.

One thing we must be sure of is that fighting a war has never meant that the victory can be established by relying on the number of your troops, isn't it?

What we rely on is the army, the nearest elite, not the elite, and more importantly, the chief general, can we command these troops like a finger?

This is the key to truly winning.

Otherwise, according to your statement, wouldn't it be true that in a war, whoever has more people will win?

If that's the case, I don't know how many times I have failed. "

Zhao Kuo also immediately refuted it, telling Chunshen Jun that no matter how many troops you have, it is useless, they are all mobs.

Although he didn't say it clearly, Mr. Chunshen knew that what Zhao Kuo meant was that if you mob fight me, you will definitely lose.

Facing Zhao Kuo, this could almost be said to be a direct provocation, or contempt, Chun Shenjun opened his mouth, but was speechless for a while.

The reason is also very simple. If someone else said these words, then this person is likely to be bragging, but when Zhao Kuo said this, things are completely different.

It has been more than ten years since Zhao Kuo made his debut.

In the past ten years, Zhao Kuo fought nearly 20 wars, large and small, and never lost a single one.

Therefore, if others say that he will definitely win, it is basically regarded as bragging, but Zhao Kuo said that he will definitely win, which is very likely to be true.

This has led to Zhao Kuo always having a huge natural advantage in this type of debate, that is, as long as it comes to war, he can default to Zhao Kuo's side as the winning side.

This made Chun Shenjun, Zhao Kuo's opponent, quite embarrassed. When you have no way to win on the battlefield, you actually have no confidence at the negotiating table.

It's just that Chunshen Jun couldn't just admit defeat, he still hoped to try his best to change the current passive situation, so he spoke again soon.

"Mr. Wu Xin, what you said is actually correct, if we go to war, we may not be your opponent.

But I also want to say, if a fight really breaks out, and you Zhao Guo and our three countries have suffered heavy losses after the annexation, can you really have the strength to continue to destroy South Korea? "

Mr. Chunshen was very smart, and found another angle, that is, the Zhao country is indeed very strong now, but other countries are not incapable of fighting.

Don't look at the fact that there are only 4 vassal states left in the world except Zhao Guo, but in fact, if all these 4 vassal states are united, it doesn't mean that Zhao Guo can win 100% of the time.

Among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, each country is very tough.

Otherwise, it is impossible for the seven heroes to stand side by side for more than 200 years, almost 300 years.

Even now that Zhao State has the momentum to sweep the world, in the hearts of the people of other countries in the world, they still firmly believe that their country has enough power to resist Zhao State.

This kind of power can often bring great confidence to the army soldiers of these countries, urging them to move forward bravely on the battlefield against Zhao's army.

At the same time, this kind of power can also bring confidence to ministers like Chun Shenjun, so that they still dare to bargain back and forth with the world's number one general Zhao Kuo at the negotiating table.

Zhao Kuo looked at Chun Shenjun in surprise.

I have to say that although it was only a few words of confrontation, Mr. Chunshen really surprised Zhao Kuo a lot.

Among the four sons of the Warring States Period, the only living one is Chunshenjun. Originally, Zhao Kuo thought that Chunshenjun should be easier to deal with, but now it seems that Zhao Kuo's previous ability to Chunshenjun is still Underestimated.

But underestimation is underestimation, Zhao Kuo is not in a hurry.

Because even though this negotiation was initiated by Zhao Kuo, in fact, during the negotiation, Zhao Guo was still firmly able to occupy the initiative.

Zhao Kuo said to Chunshen Jun very calmly: "I still say what I just said, if you talk about other people, it is really impossible to defeat the other three countries and destroy South Korea at the same time.

But with me, Zhao Kuo, this kind of thing can definitely happen. "

Zhao Kuo's words revealed that, apart from self-confidence, he was still extremely confident.

No way, who made Zhao Kuo the real No. 1 general in the world, who made it true that no one in this world can defeat Zhao Kuo head-on.

Since Zhao Kuo is indeed so strong, why can't Zhao Kuo be so confident?

Chun Shenjun looked at Zhao Kuo with a rather speechless expression on his face.

I have to say that Zhao Kuo's negotiation method actually has a sense of young people not talking about martial arts.

Zhao Kuo's logic is very simple. Our country Zhao is very powerful, so if we say that our country Zhao came to seek peace with your country Chu, it is to give you Chu country face.

If you Chu State is shameless, then our Zhao State will beat your Chu State violently, and then go to destroy South Korea.

This is the blatant overlord, the gangster logic of a hegemonic country, but this kind of logic is extremely useful in today's era, and even everyone wants to use it.

That is to say, the state of Chu is indeed not strong enough, otherwise Mr. Chunshen himself would like to try this very refreshing logic in other countries.

After Chunshen Jun was silent for a while, he said helplessly to Zhao Kuo, "Mr. Wu Xin, let me just say it straight. If you really have this kind of condition, then I really can't do business in front of the king."

I have to say that the toughness of this Chun Shenjun is indeed very admirable.

After bumping into a wall from Zhao Kuo's side one after another, Chunshen Jun not only didn't back down, but came up with another way to negotiate.

This way of negotiating is to sell miserably.

The meaning of Jun Shenjun now is also very obvious. I also know that what you Zhao Kuo said is correct, and I also admit that what you Zhao Kuo said is very reasonable, but the problem is that if I really accept your conditions, then I Going back to the king, it is impossible for the king to agree.

This kind of misery is actually a kind of cheating, which belongs to cheating after there is really nothing to do.

Zhao Kuo looked at Mr. Chunshen and was speechless, and couldn't help but said, "Mr. Chunshen, you can even come up with such a method. It's really disrespectful."

Jun Shen smiled bitterly, and spread his hands helplessly: "Mr. Wu Xin, what you said is wrong. If the old man can't complete the task, and the king blames him, then the old man will not be disqualified. to be dismantled immediately.

So Mr. Wu Xin, if you Zhao Guo really want to reach this peace talk, you have to pay more. You will meet your opponent again. "

Looking at the helpless Chunshen Jun in front of him, Zhao Kuo was also quite speechless.

It's really amazing that this person is able to cheat to such an extent.

Why didn't I see before that the old Chunshen Jun actually had such abilities?

It's really unbelievable.

Zhao Kuo settled down, and said to Chunshen Jun very calmly: "Actually, I think Chunshen Jun, you are definitely worrying too much. Of course, the current situation is not without other solutions. At least now I can say A sort of."
