Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

"Yes." Zhao Dan nodded, and said: "I have made up my mind. If Changping wins, I will make friends with other countries. I will devote the power of Zhao to the west, so as to restore my land in the west of the Jin River and break the Han Valley." Enter Guanzhong, and capture King Ji of Qin in front of Xianyang Palace! Lord Du Ping thinks, how much time will it take for me to implement this strategy?"

Tian Dan thought for a moment, before he said with uncertainty: "In my opinion, if the king wants to destroy Qin, it will take ten years at least, and two or thirty years at most, and he may succeed."

The word "or" has actually explained Tian Dan's attitude.

Zhao Dan smiled, and did not comment on Tian Dan's words, but suddenly said: "Mr. Duping, you know that the widow has just summoned Su Dai and ordered him to go to Qi State. You must borrow an envoy from Qi Wangjian." Can I, Zhao Jun, last half a year's supply?"

After saying this, Zhao Dan didn't wait for Tian Dan's response, but Shi Shiran stood up and went back to the house. Naturally, Tian Dan didn't dare to neglect, and sent him out the door himself, watching Zhao Dan's carriage go away. go.

After returning home, Tian Dan came to the study and fell into deep thought by himself.

Although he was said to be a well-known general in the Warring States period, Tian Dan was not a reckless man who could only rush and kill.

It is impossible for a reckless man to come up with the interlocking strategy of driving Le Yi away with counter-indirect tactics, encouraging the morale of the army with a series of tricks, and defeating the Qi army with the Fire Bull Formation, and finally recover the Qi State.

Tian Dan is not lacking in political wisdom, otherwise, he would not have survived for so many years under Qixiang Wang Tian Fazhang, who was extremely suspicious of him, and he would not have survived for several years in the political arena of Zhao State, which was surrounded by political enemies. Zhao Dan, who is unhappy with Tian Dan, can only take advantage of Chang Ping's incident to get rid of Tian Dan's aspect.

So Tian Dan quickly figured out what Zhao Dan meant.

First of all, Zhao Dan said that if Changping loses, Zhao Guo has no choice but to fight Qi Guo.

Then, Zhao Dan said again, if Changping wins, then Zhao Guo will attack Qin with all its strength and will not attack other countries.

Zhao Dan can say these words to anyone, but why did he come to Tian Dan to say them?

This is actually Zhao Dan's hint, "I know that you Tian Dan loves Qi, so if you don't want Zhao to attack Qi, then you have to find a way to help Zhao win the battle of Changping. If you go to fight Qin, you won't fight Qi, Tian Dan's mother country."

So how does Zhao Dan want Tian Dan to help?Tian Dan knew that Zhao Dan would not let him lead the army, otherwise he would not withdraw his position as Xiangbang.And in the current situation, if Tian Dan went to Changping, he might not be able to do better than Lian Po.

But Zhao Dan did not fail to show Tian Dan the way. Zhao Dan had already told Tian Dan in the last sentence that Su Dai was about to go to Qi as an envoy.

This is a very obvious hint.

If Tian Dan wanted to avoid the confrontation between Qi and Zhao, the best way was of course to assist Su Dai in completing the task of sending an envoy to Qi to borrow food, so as to help win the Battle of Changping.

"It turns out that what the king thinks in his heart is actually like this." The more Tian Dan thought about it, the more he understood, and the surprise in his heart became more and more intense.

Tian Dan has a reason to help.

Firstly, Tian Dan's heart is attached to the state of Qi, and secondly, Tian Dan is single as Zhao Chen. No matter how you look at it, Tian Dan should do Su Dai such a favor.

Moreover, doing this favor would not do any harm to Tian Dan himself, on the contrary, it would be beneficial.

If Tian Dan helps Su Dai this favor, not only will Zhao benefit, but Qi will also avoid military disasters, and even Tian Dan himself may improve some of his disadvantaged situation in Zhao because of this credit, which can be said to serve multiple purposes. .

The only one who will suffer from this incident is Qin State, which is at war with Zhao State.

Would Tian Dan care whether the Qin Congress would be harmed?The answer is of course not!

Tian Dan sat blankly for a while, and finally let out a long sigh.

"Your Majesty is truly an incomparable hero!"

A moment later, Duping Juntian singled out of the study in a formal attire with a serious face.

"Come here, and prepare your horses and chariots. I want to go to Su Qing's mansion!"

Chapter 13 Zheng Zhu

Time flies, and several days have passed.

On this day, a carriage drove slowly through the streets of Xianyang City, and finally stopped in front of a magnificent mansion.

A middle-aged man with a wide robe and long sleeves, a square face and a black beard, stepped out of the carriage and came to the gate of the mansion.

"Please send a message, Zheng Zhu from Zhao, please see Yinghou."

The guard at the door looked at Zheng Zhu, respectfully said: "My lord, wait a moment." Then he walked towards the door.

After a while, the guards hurried out with a gray-haired butler.

The housekeeper nodded and bowed towards Zheng Zhu, and said with a smile, "Duke Zheng, it's really a coincidence that my lord has gone out this morning and hasn't returned yet."

When Zheng Zhu heard this, the expression on his face did not change at all, as if he had already seen this scene before.

In fact, he has seen this scene many times.

Because these days, Zheng Zhu has been going here almost every day, and every day he gets the same response at the gate, even the three times in a sentence when the guard bows and talks to the butler will inevitably happen Zheng Zhu is very familiar with the pause.

Yes, these guys don't even change their lines. This acting skill can be said to be very carefree.

Zheng Zhu, the envoy of Zhao State, came to Xianyang half a month ago under the order of Zhao Wangdan, with the purpose of discussing the peace talks with Qin Wangji and Qin Prime Minister Fan Sui.

To be honest, for this peace negotiation, Zheng Zhu has made relatively sufficient preparations, and he is also confident that he can win certain benefits for Zhao Guo at the negotiating table.

But apart from the grand banquet attended by envoys from the other five countries, Zheng Zhu had never met either Qin Wangji or Qin Prime Minister Fan Sui, so this negotiation was naturally out of the question.

The people of Qin State treated Zheng Zhu very warmly and thoughtfully, and then ignored Zheng Zhu very coldly, as if there was no one named Zheng Zhu staying in Xianyang at all.

In order to complete the mission of the peace talks, Zheng Zhu thought of many ways, found many connections, and used many means.

But it is obviously unrealistic for a foreign minister to sneak into Qin Palace to meet Qin Wangji, so Zheng Zhu thought about it and decided to put the main target on Qin Prime Minister Fan Sui.

Qin Prime Minister Fan Sui was granted the title of Marquis Ying by King Ji of Qin, and the mansion Zheng Zhu was facing at this moment was Fan Sui's mansion.

In the past period of time, Zheng Zhu visited every day, but every time Fan Sui would use various reasons to avoid seeing him, just like today.

In the view of the housekeeper of Yinghou Mansion, today's mission has been completed, and this Zhao Guo envoy who doesn't like stalking should stand still for a while, sigh and leave.

But what the housekeeper didn't know was that Yinghou was still Yinghou a few days ago, but this Zheng Zhu was no longer the Zheng Zhu a few days ago.

All of this is because of the secret letter that was sent from Handan a few days ago and arrived in the hands of Zheng Zhu in Xianyang city at the fastest speed last night.

Two secret letters.

Zheng Zhu heard the butler's words, but he didn't turn around and leave like before. Instead, he unhurriedly took out a thin silk book from his bosom and put it in the butler's hand.

"Please hand this letter to Yinghou, Zheng can wait here."

The butler looked down at the silk book, with a look of surprise on his face. After hesitating for a while, he turned and walked into the gate of Yinghou Mansion.

Anyway, everyone knew that Fan Sui was actually in the mansion, so the butler had no intention of covering it up.

Zheng Zhu stood calmly outside the gate of Yinghou Mansion, waiting quietly.

A luxury-styled carriage drove past the avenue in front of Yinghou's Mansion, and happened to pass by Zheng Zhu's side.

There is a conversation coming from the carriage.
