Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Zhao Kuo looked at Han Xuwei and laughed mockingly.

"Teacher, bring your will."

Han Xuwei took a deep breath and handed over the will to Zhao Kuo's guard who stepped forward.

Zhao Kuo stared at the will in front of him, and a smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After a while, Zhao Kuo put down the decree from Handan, and said lightly: "The decree has been received, Grand Master, you can go."

gone?

Han Xuwei's nose was almost crooked, and he shouted: "Zhao Kuo, don't you see clearly the will of the above?"

Zhao Kuo laughed, and said very seriously: "Look.

It is clearly written on it, let Ben Hou cooperate with all your actions.

So you can go and go to Xianyang to complete your great cause of peace talks, and Ben Hou fully cooperates. "

Han Xuwei was furious and shouted, "You still haven't handed over your military power?"

Zhao Kuo snorted and said, "Is there any word in this decree that I want the Marquis to hand over the military power?

Didn't the above only say that Benhou should fully cooperate with you, Grand Master? "

Han Xuwei was so angry that he almost fainted.

It wasn't until this time that Han Xuwei realized that he and the Queen Mother had made a big mistake.

There are obvious loopholes in the description of this purpose, which was exploited by Zhao Kuo!Before Han Xuwei could continue to speak, Zhao Kuo suddenly slapped the table and shouted: "What's more, you also have to ask the generals of the Great Zhao under Benhou's command, whether they agree to let you take charge of the 20 troops of the Great Zhao?" !"

The next moment, many generals of the Zhao State in the hall said in unison: "No!

"Through the conversation just now, everyone already knew very clearly that it was Han Xuwei who was playing tricks behind the scenes that caused this attack on Guanzhong to come to an abrupt end.

Now that Zhao Kuo, the main general, is at the forefront, it is naturally impossible for them to give Han Xu a good look.

Still the same sentence, cutting off a person's future is like killing his parents!Han Xuwei was taken aback by the sudden yelling in unison, and he took two steps back before he came to his senses, staring at Zhao Kuo in surprise and anger: "Zhao Kuo, you know what you're doing ?

You are resisting and disobeying! "

Zhao Kuo said coldly: "This Marquis has complied with the orders of the King and Queen Mother, otherwise, my army would have already crossed the river and besieged Xianyang.

If the grand master refuses to accept it, he can go to the queen mother to discuss it in front of the queen mother when he returns to Handan in the future.

Now, please ask the Grand Master to leave Benhou's meeting hall and go to Guanzhong to do what you should do. "

Han Xuwei was ashamed and angry, and wanted to continue to attack, but being stared at by Zhao Kuo's murderous eyes, he dared not say even a single word of cruelty.

Finally, Han Xuwei flicked his sleeves and said bitterly: "Zhao Kuo, let's wait and see!"

Han Xuwei turned and left.

Looking at Han Xuwei's leaving figure, there was a burst of laughter in the lobby.

Zhao Kuo stood up and said with a smile, "Everyone performed very well today. In order to celebrate the peace talks between Qin and Zhao, this Marquis will invite everyone to a banquet tonight!"

The laughter immediately turned into cheers.

Han Xuwei, who hadn't gone far, happened to hear Zhao Kuo's words, staggered and almost fell, and gritted his teeth: "Zhao Kuo, you wait for the old man!"

Han Xuwei returned to his carriage, still angry, and said coldly, "Cross the river for the old man immediately!"

Han Xuwei, who was waiting here, was taken aback by his confidant, and hurriedly said: "My lord, shouldn't we stay here for a few days to gather the morale of the army before we set off?"

With a snap, a red fingerprint appeared on the confidant's face.

Han Xuwei yelled: "The old man tells you to go and you go. Why are you talking so much nonsense? Are you the master or the old man is the master?"

Han Xuwei and his party quickly left Pusan ​​Pass, boarded the boat from the ferry, and headed for the Linjin Pass ferry on the west bank of the river.

"Your Majesty, Han Xuwei has left."

Xu Li reported to Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo snorted: "Got it, go tell the people below that today's dinner can be more lively."

Xu Li hesitated to speak, but finally couldn't help but said: "Your Honor, this time we offended Han Xuwei to death, isn't that unnecessary?"

Zhao Kuo smiled and put down the pen in his hand: "Uncle Xu, you don't understand.

In the past, we were not strong enough, so we had to bear it. Sometimes we may be wronged and we can only keep it in our hearts.

But now we are different.

Ben Hou just wanted to tell Lin Xiangru, Lian Po and the Queen Mother this truth through Han Xuwei today.

Whoever wants to plot against us, then we will be rude to him, and whoever wants to make trouble behind his back, then we must be prepared to face the anger of this Marquis! "

Xu Li was dumbfounded for a while, and said, "Wouldn't it be too sharp?"

Zhao Kuo laughed loudly: "It may be necessary for others to hide their strengths and bide their time, but Benhou, Uncle Xu, even if Benhou does nothing now, he will still become the focus of everyone, so why not just make things bigger, Let everyone know that dealing with Ben Hou will not end well.

That's fair! "

When Zhao Kuo said these words, flames were clearly burning in his eyes.

Han Xuwei, do you think this matter is not over yet?

Coincidentally, Ben Hou thought so too!

Chapter 181 There is still hope for Daqin

Three days later, the east gate of Xianyang City.

Han Xuwei came here with the mission team, and received very warm hospitality from the Qin side.

Firstly, Fan Sui, Minister of State of Qin, came to the city gate with many diplomats from Qin State to welcome him, and warmly invited Han Xu to enter the palace with him.

After entering the palace, Prince An Guojun, the de facto supreme ruler of Qin State at the moment, hosted a grand banquet for Han Xuwei that night, but it was said that he gave Han Xu enough face.

In this regard, Han Xuwei was naturally extremely comfortable.

You must know that Han Xuwei was an official in South Korea for the past 20 years. During these 20 years, South Korea was defeated by Qin State and lost ground. Ordinary diplomats from the state of Qin came to South Korea to show off their power and did not take King Han seriously. One can imagine what kind of life Han Xu lived for such a South Korean minister at that time.

But now, everything is different!As the grand master of Zhao Guo, Han Xuwei was not only able to sit swaggeringly in the city of Xianyang and become the guest of the supreme ruler of Qin, but he was also able to take the initiative and let the people of Qin carefully wait on him, for fear that something would cause Han Xuwei. A little dissatisfied.

This reversal of 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi is too comfortable.

But Han Xuwei is also very clear about the real goal of this trip, which is to obtain more benefits for Zhao Guo!Only by allowing Zhao Guo to obtain enough benefits from the negotiating table can Zhao Kuo's people who know about war be shut up, and Han Xuwei's position in Zhao Guo's political arena can be better consolidated.

Therefore, Han Xu wanted to enjoy it, but he was also full of firepower in the formal negotiations that started the next day. He didn't feel any embarrassment at all because of the warm hospitality of the Qin people, so he went to let Qin go.

"Qin must return the eight Korean cities, and then return the two cities of Luyang and Kunyang, as well as the two hundred miles of land nearby, to Wei. At the same time, they must cede half of Shangjun to Dazhao as compensation!"

This is the condition that Han Xu proposed to the Qin people in order to get straight to the point at the negotiating table.

Regarding this, Fan Sui, the top leader of Qin State who was in charge of negotiating with Han Xuwei, naturally refused: "Mr. Cheng, what joke are you talking about?

These places add up to enough land for the two counties of Daqin, and it is absolutely impossible for Daqin to cede it out so casually.

However, in order to show the sincerity of the peace talks, Daqin can cede three cities to Zhao State, two cities to South Korea, and one city to Wei State. "

When Han Xuwei heard this, he blew his beard and stared at him in anger: "It's unreasonable! Wait, you have to figure out that Da Zhao is the winner this time.

Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo is still at the Pusan ​​Pass Ferry, if Yinghou and Qin are unwilling to agree to Da Zhao's conditions, then wait for Wu Xinjun's soldiers to attack! "

Fan Sui's expression changed drastically when he heard the words, and he said after a while, "Now that Qin and Zhao have negotiated peace, how can Lord Wu Xin send troops?"

Han Xuwei snorted, and said: "To tell the truth, Lord Wu Xin is under the control of the old man, this is the order of the queen mother and the king.

As long as the old man gives an order, Wu Xinjun will immediately cross the river, this matter is by no means false.

Ying Hou is a smart man and should understand what I mean. "

Although he doesn't like Zhao Kuo very much and even wants Zhao Kuo to die, Han Xuwei knows very well that if he wants to gain more benefits in the negotiation and make more credit, Zhao Kuo really has to move out this big banner and use it for a while. use.

Fan Sui's expression changed, and he said after a while: "Since that's the case, then for Wu Xinjun's sake, Daqin can double the compensation!"

When Han Xuwei saw Fan Sui talking like this, his heart moved slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "No, doubling is not enough.

According to the conditions that the old man just said, a city cannot be missing! "

Fan Sui blew his beard and stared at his eyes, and shouted: "No, absolutely not!"

Han Xuwei said calmly, "Then wait for Wu Xinjun's army to come!"

In the following negotiations, Han Xuwei only insisted on one principle, as long as Fan Sui did not let go, Han Xuwei would "close the door and let Zhao Kuo go".

After five days of arduous negotiations and quarrels, Han Xuwei finally got his wish and got the conditions he wanted from Qin.

Qin State will cede ten cities in Shangjun to Zhao State, cede five cities to South Korea, and return Luyang, Kunyang and a hundred miles of land nearby to Wei State.

This condition is slightly reduced compared to Han Xuwei's initial condition, but this is the way of bargaining during the negotiation process. It is impossible to just follow one party's opinion. After all, each party must compromise to finally reach a deal.

Qin State, as the defeated party, naturally backed down more in this negotiation, while Zhao State, as the victorious party, backed down less.

The state of Qin did not gain nothing. Han Xuwei agreed to a condition of Prince An Guojun of the state of Qin during this negotiation, that is, Sun Yingyi, the king of Qin who was placed in Handan as a proton, returned to the country!After reaching an agreement, Han Xuwei signed a peace treaty with Prince An Guojun of Qin State, and sacrificed to heaven and earth together according to the practice of many years ago, so that heaven and earth can also witness the legitimacy of this peace treaty.

After doing all this, Han Xuwei's mood improved again.

This time, the old man is also a person who has contributed to Da Zhao. Let's see how Zhao Kuo will be arrogant in front of the old man in the future!Han Xuwei has already made up his mind, and when he returns to Handan, he must have a good talk with the Queen Mother and read this book by Zhao Kuo.

Han Xuwei was somewhat unconvinced in his heart, counting, he had already been deflated in front of Zhao Kuo twice.

After returning to the home court in Handan, we must make a good plan. I don't believe that Zhao Kuo can turn the world upside down?

Watching Han Xuwei and his party leave Xianyang Palace, An Guojun and Fan Sui stood side by side, smiling playfully.

An Guojun said: "Yinghou, do you think we will succeed this time?

Daqin paid quite a price. "

In order to give Han Xuwei the impression that "Qin State is afraid of Zhao Kuo like a tiger", it is roughly estimated that Qin State paid at least six more cities and a corresponding population of 8 to [-] in this negotiation.

You must know that the entire Qin State now has a population of only about 600 million, and after losing Hedong it is only more than 500 million.

Fan Sui stroked his beard and smiled slightly, said: "Prince, don't worry, by the way, I heard that Wang Sunyi will return to Xianyang soon, and the old minister is also here to congratulate the prince in advance."

As the saying goes, the plan did not change quickly. Originally, Mr. An ordered Lu Buwei and others to quietly rescue Ying Yiren, but now Ying Yiren can return to Qin in an open and honest manner.

An Guojun laughed, and said: "Yes, this child is still very good, I hope he can fulfill the responsibility of a son well in the future!"

As the sun was setting, although Qin State had just experienced a big defeat, the two highest power holders in Qin State were unexpectedly not so depressed.

Because they know very well that Daqin has not lost hope!

Chapter 182 Zhao Kuo's Intelligence System: Nightingale

What Han Xuwei didn't know was that his performance was almost secretly sent to Zhao Kuo's desk as quickly as possible.

"This Han Xuwei is actually holding Benhou's tiger skin as a banner?"

Looking at this secret report, Zhao Kuo couldn't help laughing.

Due to the needs of Han Xuwei's negotiations, Zhao Kuo at this moment is still stationed in the Pusangguan camp on the east side of the Yellow River with an army of 15.

Xu Li smiled and said, "Isn't that so?

I heard that Han Xuwei didn't dare to come to see you when he returned to the country this time, so he just left the pass through the Weihan Passage of the Qin people, and went back to Handan in Hanoi. "

Zhao Kuo couldn't help laughing again, shook his head, and said: "He happened to pass through South Korea on this road. Judging from Nightingale's investigation of him during this period, he must be going to shake off his prestige with King Han, and ask for a letter by the way. Han Wang's letter and the like, so that he can have more say in his queen mother."

Nightingale is the code name that Zhao Kuo just gave to the entire intelligence system and personnel under his command.

The main personnel of this system come from some loyal soldiers and retainers of Zhao Kuo's father Ma Fujun and Zhao She when he was alive. Zhao Kuo has invested a lot of money in the past few years to expand and train this intelligence personnel. A group of elite spies from Guo's Chamber of Commerce joined, and it took several months to complete the integration.

From now on, the heavy armored cavalry of the Chi You Army will be in the Ming Dynasty, and the Nightingale will be hiding in the dark. The light and the dark will become the two most powerful systems under Zhao Kuo's command.

The current Nightingale intelligence network is actually not that strong. Of course, the most powerful and well-informed people are inside Zhao Guo. For example, the secret report just sent to Zhao Kuo came from Zhao Guo’s negotiating team led by Han Xuwei. nightingale.

In addition to Zhao Guo's base camp, Nightingale's intelligence network penetrates deeper also includes Qi Guo, who has a close relationship with Zhao Kuo because of the ginseng and weapons smuggling business, and also has a smuggling business because of Guo Zong's joining. Yan country.

In addition, after Lu Buwei returns to the country with Ying Yiren, Nightingale's intelligence network in the Qin country will inevitably be fully deployed.

In this way, four of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period already have Nightingale intelligence networks, and Zhao Kuo's intelligence network alone is stronger than the intelligence networks of many vassal states as a whole.

Due to the importance of the Nightingale system, the first leader after the establishment of the Nightingale is of course the loyal Xu Li.

There are actually quite a few loyal retainers, but after thinking about it, Zhao Kuosi is most at ease with Xu Li.

Anyway, the framework and system of the whole Nightingale have been carefully formulated by Zhao Kuozai who has watched countless spy war films and historical materials. Xu Li only needs to follow the rules set by Zhao Kuo, and report to Zhao Kuona directly if there is any important matter. Just an idea, so it's competent enough.

Thinking about it, Zhao Kuo suddenly felt a move in his heart: "By the way, this information says that according to the provisions of the contract, Ying Yiren will be released back to the country. I feel that there can be some chapters here!"
