Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

After hearing Zhao Kuo's words, Chun Shenjun was overjoyed.

In Chun Shenjun's view, it is very likely that Zhao Kuo wanted to make some new concessions.

To put it bluntly, in this negotiation, so far, Zhao Guo has not come up with any substantive things at all, only verbally acknowledging the demise of Chu State to Lu State.

In other words, what the state of Chu asked for was actually only that the state of Zhao could come up with 3 or 5 cities, which was almost enough.

Considering Zhao Guo's vast territory, 3 and 5 cities are nothing to Zhao Guo at all.

But Zhao Kuo's words at the next moment left Chun Shenjun speechless.

Zhao Kuo said so.

"Mr. Chunshen, since you can't make a decision, then let me talk to the person in Chu who can really make a decision."

Chapter 984 Zhao Kuo Meets Li Yuan

The condition Zhao Kuo proposed was undoubtedly beyond Chun Shenjun's expectations.

Before Chun Shenjun thought, if there is no way to negotiate this time, then there can be a second and a third time in the future.

After all, under normal logic, it is impossible to succeed at one time, but it should go through many times of wasting saliva, and then everyone can slowly eliminate differences, and finally come to a solution that satisfies both parties. result.

But now Zhao Kuo obviously doesn't intend to abide by the so-called negotiation rules. What Zhao Kuo wants is to get a result within this period of time. Since you Chunshen Jun can't come to this result with me, then I will go Find someone to negotiate with who can deliver results.

After being silent for a few seconds because of surprise, Jun Shen couldn't help but said, "Mr. Wu Xin, your request is quite unexpected."

Zhao Kuo chuckled, and said to Chunshen Jun very seriously: "Actually, what I want to remind you is that it is not our country of Zhao that should be really anxious about this matter, but your country of Chu.

You have to know that the army of our country of Zhao has surrounded the capital of South Korea, and South Korea may be destroyed at any time.

After the demise of South Korea, the negotiations this time will be meaningless, won't they? "

After Chun Shenjun heard Zhao Kuo's words, his face became stiff immediately.

The reason why his face became stiff is of course very simple, because what Zhao Kuo said really hit Chun Shenjun's weakness.

The current state of Chu really can't afford to wait, because there is only the last city left in South Korea, and it has been surrounded by Zhao Guo's general Li Mu for more than a month.

According to normal logic, one month is definitely not enough to break through the South Korean capital, and it is very normal for Koreans to stick to it for a year or so.

But the problem is that Zhao Guo's army never counts according to normal logic, especially the army commanded by Zhao Kuo.

It is no exaggeration to say that the army commanded by Zhao Kuo has always been the embodiment of miracles. As the most powerful general under Zhao Kuo, the army commanded by Li Mu can announce the capital of South Korea within a month or two. It's not a very surprising thing either.

Thinking about it this way, Chun Shenjun suddenly felt that the thought that this negotiation would last for a long time might be too naive.

Chunshen Jun took a deep breath, and slowly said to Zhao Kuo, "I still have to report this matter to the King. Only after the King makes a decision, can I inform Lord Wu Xin of your side."

Zhao Kuo chuckled, and said to Chunshenjun, "Of course there is no problem at all. I'll be here waiting for your good news from Chunshenjun."

Hearing these words in Chun Shenjun's ears, he couldn't help but have the urge to complain.

This news may indeed be good news for Zhao Kuo, but it has never been good news for Chun Shenjun or Chu State.

But no matter what, the negotiation has reached the current stage, which has indeed made Chun Shenjun realize the gap between this side and Zhao Guo, or the difference is still quite large.

So it is better to report this to the King of Chu first, to see what to do next, and let the King of Chu make a decision.

So Chunshen Jun also left.

Looking at the back of Chun Shenjun leaving, the smile on Zhao Kuo's face gradually disappeared, and he let out a sigh of relief unconsciously.

"This Chunshen-jun is really difficult to deal with."

Yes, don't look at how calm Zhao Kuo was when he was negotiating with Chun Shenjun just now, and he always took the initiative, but in fact Zhao Kuo did not completely overwhelm Chun Shenjun in this negotiation.

But this is indifferent, because since Zhao Kuo knew that Chun Shenjun had grown up during this period of time, of course he would use a more effective strategy to deal with Chun Shenjun next time.

After Chun Shenjun left, Zhao Kuo said to Su Li who was beside him, "Go and talk to Li Yuan, let him come and see me quickly."

The negotiation with Mr. Chunshen just now was actually just a part of Zhao Kuo's plan for Chu State this time.

In Zhao Kuo's Chu State plan, another crucial part comes from this Li Yuan.

Although Li Yuan is not a person who can control the core power of the Chu State, but because his uncle from another country has the status of being a retainer of Lord Chunshen, he can easily influence the two core figures of the State of Chu, King Chu and Lord Chunshen. idea.

Li Yuan didn't make Zhao Kuo wait for too long. At dinner time that day, Li Yuan quietly came to Zhao Kuo.

"I don't know what orders did Jun Hou call Li Yuan over?"

Li Yuan's attitude was absolute and respectful when he spoke.

He is quite self-aware. Zhao Kuo can now be said to be the most powerful person in the world besides King Zhao. Even though Li Yuan is the uncle of the state of Chu, he is just a small shrimp in front of Zhao Kuo. That's all.

Zhao Kuo looked at Li Yuan in front of him, and said with a chuckle: "Uncle Guo doesn't need to be so polite, come here, this is the fine wine of our Zhao country, please sit down and taste it with me."

Not only Zhao Kuo and Li Yuan were present, but also Li Si who was called by Zhao Kuo.

Li Si was the envoy sent by Zhao Guo to Chu State before, and he was the one who stood in front of Zhao Kuo. He himself was also a key figure in bringing Li Yuan over, so it was only natural that Li Si was present.

After Zhao Kuo's voice fell, the three of them raised their wine glasses one after another, and drank the white wine in the wine glasses in one gulp.

It is said that it is Zhao Guo's fine wine, but it is actually a baijiu invented by Zhao Kuo after someone improved it.

Alcohol in this era is not good at all, but one of the biggest disadvantages is that the alcohol content is too low. Baijiu can perfectly solve this problem.

Sure enough, after Li Yuan drank the liquor, his eyes lit up immediately, and he couldn't help but praise him.

"This wine is so hot, it is really unforgettable after drinking it. It is definitely the best wine in the world."

As the uncle of the state of Chu, of course Li Yuan drank a lot of good wine, but those good wines were all rubbish in front of the Zhao Guo Baijiu brought by Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo smiled slightly, and said to Li Yuan: "There are still many such fine wines. If Uncle Guo really likes them, then I will send someone to send 200 catties to Uncle Guo's mansion later. Uncle drinks happily every day."

For Zhao Kuo, this kind of baijiu is actually to purify the spirits from all over the country again, so that their alcohol content will be higher. There is no major technical difficulty, even in Chu State. can be operated.

Although let alone 200 catties of spirits, even if it is 2000 catties or more, as long as there is enough wine for purification, Zhao Kuo can make it at any time.

But Li Yuan obviously didn't know the principle of Zhao Kuo's spirit purification, so after Li Yuan heard Zhao Kuo's words, he was directly shocked by Zhao Kuo's boldness.

Li Yuan was actually very excited at this moment.

Although Li Yuan had indeed made up his mind to join Zhao Guo, he was not sure what Zhao Guo's attitude towards him was.

But now Zhao Kuo can directly send 200 catties of spirits to Li Yuan just because he heard Li Yuan's praise of liquor. This is undoubtedly enough to prove how much Zhao Kuo attaches to Li Yuan.

There is a saying that a scholar dies for his confidant. Li Yuan feels like he has found his confidant, Bole.

Li Yuan took a deep breath and said to Zhao Kuo very excitedly: "If that's the case, then I'll thank you here first."

Zhao Kuo looked at Li Yuan and said with a smile: "This is actually a trivial matter. If we have the opportunity to continue to cooperate in the future, then I can promise here that what Zhao Guo will pay will only be more and more." .”

After hearing Zhao Kuo's promise, Li Yuan's expression became even more excited.

Recently, the original intention of Li Yuan and Zhao Guo to cooperate was to obtain more benefits. Now that Zhao Kuo has completely promised such benefits in front of Li Yuan, what else should Li Yuan worry about? What about?

Li Yuan took a deep breath, raised the wine glass in his hand, and said to Zhao Kuo very excitedly: "Don't worry, Mr. Wu Xin, I, Li Yuan, am not the kind of person who doesn't know what to do, and I will definitely do what I should do conscientiously. "

Zhao Kuo chuckled, picked up the wine glass in his hand, touched it with Li Yuan, and drank it down in one gulp.

This kind of bargaining chip and way of doing things to win people's hearts, Zhao Kuo was of course not very proficient in the past, but after so many years of ups and downs in Zhao Guo's political arena, Zhao Kuo has already used it proficiently up.

All in all, after confirming the commitment and framework of cooperation between the two parties, the atmosphere of drinking this time became more enthusiastic.

Zhao Kuo put down his wine glass, and said to Li Yuan with a very serious face: "To tell you the truth, Uncle Guo, you should also know that I came here this time to keep Chu from participating in the war between Zhao and South Korea.

I wonder if Uncle Guo can give some advice on this matter?

If I can help Zhao Guo, I can guarantee that our return will satisfy Uncle Guo. "

Promises belong to promises, but if Zhao Kuo wants to fulfill his promises, Li Yuan must of course show his ability.

Of course, Li Yuan was mentally prepared for this matter, even when he set off, he had already considered this matter very seriously.

So when Zhao Kuo asked the question, Li Yuan, who had already made up his mind, immediately answered.

"Mr. Wu Xin, in fact, if your country of Zhao wants to prevent our Chu country from participating in this war, it is useless to go to find Mr. Chunshen."

As soon as Zhao Kuo heard this sentence, a light flashed in his eyes.

"I don't know why Uncle Guo said that?

Can you explain in detail? "

Li Yuan chuckled, and said in a pointing tone: "The reason is also very simple, because of various things before Chun Shenjun, in fact, his power in our Chu country is not as good as before.

Now in our state of Chu, the people who are more able to decide the king's opinion are the three from the three major families.

So, when Mr. Chunshen was negotiating, he didn't actually have much decision-making power. He could only go back and report to the king, and let the king make the final decision. "

After hearing Li Yuan's words, Zhao Kuo was thoughtful for a moment, and remembered Chun Shenjun's words just now.

Based on two-phase verification, Li Yuan's words indeed seem to be relatively close to the truth.

Zhao Kuo couldn't help but said, "If that's the case, then I don't know what Uncle Guo thinks we should do?"

Li Yuan smiled, patted his chest, and said triumphantly to Zhao Kuo: "Wu Xinjun, isn't my usefulness shown at this time?

Tomorrow, I will go to the palace to find the queen, and let him find a way to say a few words to the king. In this way, I believe it will be very beneficial to your negotiations. "

Li Yuan is really not bragging, he is actually very confident, not only because his sister is now the queen of Chu, but also because his sister gave birth to the prince of Chu.

The so-called mother is more expensive than the child is such a truth.

After listening to Li Yuan's words, Zhao Kuo calmly took out a jade pendant from his bosom.

Li Yuan's gaze was immediately attracted by this jade pendant. As the uncle of the state of Chu, Li Yuan had of course seen many jade pendants, but at this time, Li Yuan suddenly discovered that the previous jade pendants were completely unqualified to compete with those in front of him. This piece of jade pendant is on par.

What Zhao Kuo said at the next moment confirmed Li Yuan's judgment even more.

Zhao Kuo smiled and said to Li Yuan, "Uncle Guo, this jade pendant comes from Heshibi.

As we all know, He's Bi is now in the hands of our country Zhao, and it has been used to make the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom. However, due to the large area of ​​the He's Bi, there are still some left after the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom is made. material down.

And this jade pendant is made of these remaining materials. "

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan had no way to continue to calm down.

Heshibi is a truly peerless treasure. I didn't expect it to appear in front of Li Yuan now, and looking at the situation, Zhao Kuo seemed to want Li Yuan to tremble and said to Zhao Kuo: "So Wu Xinjun It means" Zhao Kuo smiled slightly and handed the jade pendant to Li Yuan.

"What I mean is very simple, as long as Uncle Guo can help us complete this matter, then this jade pendant will belong to Uncle Guo from now on."

For Zhao Kuo, as long as things can be done, this jade pendant is of course nothing.

Anyway, after the state of Chu is destroyed in the future, are you still afraid that it will not come back?

For Li Yuan on the other side, the appearance of this peerless treasure directly turned his whole head into a mess.

After several seconds, Li Yuan finally came back to his senses, and said firmly to Zhao Kuo, "Don't worry Wu Xinjun, I will definitely live up to your expectations this time!"

Chapter 985

For Li Yuan, things like He's Bi are definitely treasures that only exist in legends.

But today Li Yuan was able to hold the jade pendant made by He's Bi in his hands. One can imagine how shocked he was by this feeling.

At this moment, Li Yuan wished to kneel down and salute Zhao Kuo, and worshiped him, so that he could express the excitement in his heart.

But Li Yuan is also a person who wants face after all, so he didn't do this in the end, but left the mansion after thanking him a thousand times.

Seeing Li Yuan's leaving back, Li Si couldn't help but said, "Isn't it a bit of a waste to give him such a valuable gift from the Lord?"

To Li Si, Li Yuan was just a chess piece, and it was because it was not too critical.

Paying such a precious thing for such a chess piece is indeed a bit unacceptable for him.

Zhao Kuo smiled slightly, and calmly said to Li Si: "Don't worry, Li Yuan will definitely give us unexpected gains."

In history, Li Yuan was a murderous figure who even dared to assassinate Lord Chunshen. It is not surprising that such a person can accomplish any great things.

Li Yuan soon returned to his home.

After thinking for a while, Li Yuan made a decision.

The next day, Li Yuan went to visit Mr. Chunshen.

"Mr. Chunshen, I heard that you just had a negotiation with Mr. Wu Xin. I wonder what the result of the negotiation is?"

On the surface, Li Yuan was a political ally of Lord Chunshen, so of course he was unsuspecting of this ally, Lord Chunshen himself.

So Chun Shenjun just told Li Yuan the whole negotiation process exactly, and then expressed emotion.

"Wu Xinjun and Zhao Guo are indeed very powerful now, but their domineering is indeed too much. They don't want to pay anything at all, so they want our Chu State to back down a step. After hearing this, the King is also very angry."
