Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

On the other side, Xu Li suddenly said: Maybe the old minister has a way to defeat others without fighting.

Zhao Kuo's eyes lit up, and said: "What way?"

Xu Li chuckled, and said: "To tell you the truth, our Nightingale has been secretly in contact with a senior official of the Yan Kingdom all these years.This high-ranking official possesses great power in the country of Yan, and can often meet the King of Yan, and also has many connections in Jidu.

If this person can be persuaded to surrender, then taking Jidu down would be a no-brainer.

The other confidantes around Zhao Kuo couldn't help showing surprised expressions when they heard Xu Li's words.

Li Mu couldn't help asking: Xu Jiazai, who is this person?

Xu Li smiled slightly, and said: "This person is none other than the present Xiangbang of Yan State ap;dash;ap;dash;Guo Kai!"

Late at night.

In Jidu City, a carriage slowly drove into an extremely imposing mansion.

This magnificent mansion is the mansion of Yan State Xiangbang Guo Wei, and the person sitting in the carriage is naturally Yan State Xiangbang Guo Wei himself.

Guo Wei got off the carriage, and it could be seen from his expression that he was not in a good mood.

Now that the Yan State is facing a crisis of extinction, Guo Wei, as the Prime Minister of the Yan State, is naturally worried, which is also very normal.

As soon as Guo Wei got off the carriage, his most confidant butler came up to greet him and whispered a few words in Guo Wei's ear.

Guo Kui was taken aback when he heard the words, looked at the butler in disbelief, and said, "Have you confirmed your identity?"

The housekeeper nodded, and said softly, "Whether it's the token or the password, everything is verbatim, and it's all confirmed."Master, what should we do, or kill him directly?

Guo Kui's expression changed, and after a while he whispered: Take him to the study to meet me.

Guo Kui went directly to the study.

After a while, there was a sound of footsteps, and the door of the study was opened.

The butler's voice sounded: "My lord, people have brought it."

Guo Wei's expression was calm, and he said lightly: "Please come in."

Afterwards, a middle-aged man appeared in Guo Wei's sight and bowed to Guo Wei: Su Li met Guo Xiang.

Guo Kui looked at Su Li in front of him, and suddenly said: Su Li, you cooperated with Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo to attack Linzi City two years ago, and King Qi was captured.The old man heard that the King of Qi offered a huge reward for your head. Now that Dayan and Zhao are at war, you dare to appear here openly. Are you afraid that the old man will cut off your head?

That's right, the person who appeared in front of Guo Wei was none other than the former doctor of Qi State, one of the top leaders of Nightingale's branch in Qi State ap;dash;ap;dash;Su Li!

Chapter 766 Su Li Persuades to Surrender (Fourth Change)

Facing Guo Wei's murderous questioning, Su Li didn't panic, but smiled slightly, and sat down in front of Guo Wei.

The door of the study was closed.

Su Li smiled and said: "Although I, Su Li, am a traitor of Qi, but from another perspective, I am also a hero of Zhao.

Many things in this world are like this, as long as you look at it from different angles, you will get different results.It's fun, isn't it?

Guo Wei frowned and said, "Are you here to fight the old man?"

Su Li laughed and said: No, no, Xiang Guo misunderstood.I just want to tell Guo Xiang that in fact, you can also become a hero of the Great Zhao just like me.

After Su Li finished speaking, Guo Kai smiled.

It's really an old-fashioned persuasion.Why, Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo knew that we could not break through the Jidu of Dayan, so he could only send someone like you here?

Su Li smiled and said: A person like me?Actually, I am the one who saved your life, Guo Xiang.I also ask Guo Xiang to think about it, if I hadn't come here, when the city of Jidu was broken and Yan State was destroyed, would you, Guo Xiang, still have a way to survive as the Prime Minister of Yan State?

After Su Li said these words, Guo Wei was no longer calm as before, and was taken aback: What did you say, Zhao Guo wants to destroy Yan this time?

Su Li nodded with a smile: Yes, indeed.

Guo Kai was stunned.

Before this, Zhao Guo had always declared that this time the war against Yan was just to teach Yan Guo a lesson.

In the eyes of Yan Guojun and ministers, although such an excuse seems nonsensical, it is actually quite credible.

When Qin State was strong back then, the excuses for starting the war were also very nonsensical, such as why the people of Qin State were bullied in South Korea, and why King Wei sent too few gifts on King Qin’s birthday, obviously looking down on Qin State, etc.

As a strong country, it is like this. You can make up any reason to start a war against a weak country. Naturally, the real goal is not to enforce justice, but to expand its power and territory and weaken the power of other countries.

If Qin Guo can do this, Zhao Guo can naturally do the same, no problem.

However, it wasn't until now that Guo Wei was shocked to discover that what Zhao people want is not the territory, but the life of Yan!

That's why Guo Wei was so shocked.

After a while, Guo Wei said angrily: How is this possible?Wu Xinjun really thinks that our Great Yan Kingdom is easy to bully?

Su Li chuckled, and asked back: Is Yan Guo really not easy to bully?In the current war situation, as long as Jidu is captured, the demise of Yan Kingdom is already a certainty!

Guo Kui snorted heavily, and said: When Qi State wanted to destroy our Yan State, it had already occupied the whole territory of Dayan. Wasn't it driven away by our heroic Dayan soldiers and civilians in the end?If you Zhao Guo wants to do this, you can only follow in Qi Guo's footsteps again!

Su Li couldn't help laughing out loud, and said: Why does Guo Xiang deceive himself here?The State of Qi did destroy your State of Yan back then, and the reason why your State of Yan was able to get rid of the control of the State of Qi was not because of the bullshit bravery of the people of the State of Yan.

If I remember correctly, at that time our Great Zhao united with Chu State and Qin State coerced Qi State together, which forced King Qi to give up his attempt to annex Yan State under pressure.Why do you have the nerve to talk about Yan's bravery?

The fool also knows that in front of Qi's army, hundreds or thousands of rangers scattered throughout the entire territory of Yan are useless at all!

Su Li's words immediately made Guo Kai's face a little ugly.

But even Guo Wei had to admit that what Su Li said was indeed true.

Of course, the King of Yan and a lot of King Yan’s family were killed because of the Zizhi Rebellion in the Kingdom of Yan, and the crown prince of the Kingdom of Yan was also forced to flee. Then the Kingdom of Qi entered the Kingdom of Yan in the name of suppressing the rebellion and killing the rebels, and got He was welcomed by the people of Yan State.

However, the people of Yan State never expected that the people of Qi State would turn their faces and deny him immediately after killing Zi Zi, announcing that they would annex Yan State.

At this time, on the one hand, the strength of Yan State was seriously injured due to civil strife. On the other hand, all the key cities of the entire Yan State have been controlled by Qi State, and it is completely powerless.

Fortunately, other countries were afraid at this time. Qi State was already the most powerful country at that time. If it annexed another Yan State, would it be okay?

So King Zhao Wuling, the king of Zhao State at that time, immediately organized a wave of alliances, united with Qin State, Chu State, and Wei State to persecute Qi State, and finally King Qi Xuan had to order Kuangzhang to withdraw from Yan State, which allowed Yan State to be free.

Of course, this fact is a bit embarrassing for Yan State, so Yan State has been vigorously propagating that it is the heroic and fearless struggle of our Yan people that forced the Qi people to retreat.

In this way, the embarrassing thing suddenly became full of pride, which is undoubtedly a great thing for Yan Guo.

But this kind of words can deceive other people. For an elite figure like Su Li, the truth has naturally been seen in his heart long ago.

Guo Kui said coldly: Anyway, it is impossible for your country of Zhao to defeat Dayan!

Su Li shook his head, looking at Guo Wei as if he was looking at a fool: Guo Xiang, think about it for yourself, if it is someone else, maybe your country of Yan can hold on for a while.But who is the leader of the Great Zhao army outside the city now?It is the famous Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo!

Lord Wu Xin used his soldiers like a god. He has fought many battles in the past ten years and has always been victorious. None of Bai Qi and Kuang Liang are opponents of Lord Wu Xin. Will the remnant soldiers be able to withstand Wu Xinjun's attack?

If you surrender now, you will still be able to have glory and wealth in the future, Guo Xiang.If Guo Xiang is obsessed with obsession, then you can only bring your Guo family to be buried with Yan Guo!

After Su Li finished speaking, Guo Kai's expression changed again and again, and he was completely speechless.

What Su Li said was actually not wrong at all.

If Zhao Guo only came to harvest a wave of Yan Guo's land, then Guo Wei would definitely not surrender to Zhao Guo.

Surrendering to Zhao would only tarnish Guo Wei's reputation, and as the saying goes, it is better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail. How can being an ordinary minister in Zhao be as comfortable as being a prime minister in Yan?

However, if Zhao State came with the goal of destroying Yan State, then everything would be different.

This means that if anyone wants to fight to the end for the country of Yan, then the country of Zhao will definitely destroy this person without hesitation!

In other words, if Guo Wei resisted, the Guo family must be wiped out.

Guo Kui hesitated.

Chapter 767 Guo Wei Surrenders (Fifth Change)

Between the destiny of the country and the future of the family, which one should we choose?

For Guo Wei, this is actually a relatively difficult problem.

On the one hand, Guo Kui was a minister who had been promoted during the time of King Yan Zhao. He had experienced the most powerful era of Yan State, and had helped Yan State General Le Yi together, almost causing Yan State to perish and Qi State.

Of course, Guo Wei has feelings for Yan, a country that has served for decades.

But on the other hand, Guo Wei is a more traditional person.

In this era, there is a very popular saying: Qi family, governance country, peace of the world.

The family here does not refer to the family of parents and children in later generations, but the family.

To put it simply, it is to govern the family well first, then govern the country well, and finally the whole world can be pacified.

The family is very important to any minister, because the family can provide a very stable support, and at the same time, it can develop as the power of the minister, achieving the effect of mutual feeding.

Even people like Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo have developed a lot of power in the political arena of Zhao State by relying on the Zhao family branch created by Zhao She in recent years, and Zhao Kuo's political opponents rarely take this matter Come to attack Zhao Kuo, because everyone is doing this.

What is before Guo Wei right now is such a choice ap;dash;ap;dash; family or country?

Guo Wei's body began to tremble, and his expression became obviously tangled.

Su Li looked at Guo Wei, and said calmly: Guo Xiang should also know that I came this time under the order of Wu Xinjun.As long as Guo Xiang is willing to surrender, then Wu Xinjun can guarantee that you will at least continue to be prosperous and rich in the future.

Think about it, what is Da Zhao's goal?I can tell you right now that it is to wipe out the other six countries in the world and unify China!

It is very symbolic for your Yan country to be the first country to be wiped out among the other six countries.So as long as you surrender, our Great Zhao will definitely treat you well, so that the ministers of the other five countries can understand ap;dash;ap;dash;surrender, and they will be treated favorably.Recalcitrant, can only be a dead end!

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, because surrendering will not only not hurt the Guo family, but it will even bring the Guo family to a higher level!

Of course, if you really want to be buried with the Yan Kingdom, then I have nothing to say, so please kill me, take my head to show your loyalty to the King of Yan, and then perish with the Yan Kingdom !

Su Li's words were like thunderbolts, continuously smashing into Guo Wei's heart, making Guo Wei's face even more tangled.

Finally, Guo Wei gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: Please tell Mr. Wu Xin that the old man is willing to cooperate with Zhao Guo to fight and donate Jidu, just to preserve Guo's incense!

Guo Kui finally made a decision.

Outside the city is Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo leading the army, and Zhao Kuo has never lost a battle, this is something everyone knows.

As the Prime Minister of the Yan State, Guo Wei knew very clearly how weak the Yan State was today.

It may be difficult for people like Lian Po and Le Cheng to destroy the Yan State, but according to Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo, the problem of destroying the Yan State is really not a big problem.

Zhao Kuo does have that ability.

In the face of failure and death, besides choosing to surrender, is there any other better way?

Guo Wei is old, so he knows the preciousness of life even more!

So he didn't want to die, he could only surrender.

After hearing Guo Kai's answer, Su Li suddenly smiled.

For Su Li, helping Zhao Kuo break the city in Linzi a few years ago is undoubtedly a great contribution.

But after that, because he was worried that Su Li would be assassinated by an assassin sent by Qi State, Zhao Kuo only arranged for Su Li a long history position in the General Office of Handan City.

This long history official position is actually very critical, but Su Li is still not satisfied.

Su Li wants to be like his elder brothers Su Qin and Su Dai, who can also become a person who truly affects the situation in the mainland, and can also write down a brilliant stroke in the future history books!

Therefore, when Su Li learned at the Nightingale internal meeting that the next key work target of the Nightingale system was Yan Country, he immediately took the initiative to ask Xu Li, and came to Yan Country Jidu a few months ago.

A few months may be so wasted for other people, but for Su Li, these few months are definitely not wasted.

He used these few months to summarize the situation in Yan State's political arena, and after the defeat of Le Jian, he decisively sent a messenger to offer Xu Li a suggestion to persuade Guo Wei to surrender, and finally got the big boss Zhao Kuo sure.

Later, Su Li took the risk of contacting Guo Wei through the communication channel between Zhao Kuo and Guo Wei, and appeared in front of Guo Wei, and came to persuade him to surrender with a sudden attack.

The risk of this kind of persuasion to surrender is actually very high. As long as Guo Wei is unwilling to follow Su Li's words and choose to surrender, then there is only a dead end waiting for Su Li.

Fortunately, Su Li finally succeeded!

In the future, it will be recorded in the history books like this: On a certain day in a certain year and a certain month, Su Li persuaded Guo Kui, the prime minister of the Yan Kingdom, to offer the city, and the Yan Kingdom perished!

Thinking of this, Su Li couldn't help feeling the joy of wanting to fly.

I, Su Li, am no worse than the two elder brothers after all!

Of the three Su brothers, none of them is trash!

As the Prime Minister of the Yan State, Guo Wei naturally had a hundred ways to pass the news to Zhao Jun outside the city.

The next night, Zhao Kuo saw two letters from Su Li and Guo Kai from Xu Li's hands.

These two letters actually said the same thing, but Su Li's letter was more about explaining the history of the incident and the current situation in Jidu, while Guo Wei's letter was more about telling Zhao Kuo and Zhao Guo expressed their loyalty.

Zhao Kuo smiled, put the letter aside casually, and said to Xu Li in front of him: Have you confirmed the authenticity of the letter?
