Zhao State, Handan City.

What is interesting is that the Korean envoy and Qin envoy arrived at Handan City almost in front and behind.

"King, which envoy should I receive?" Zheng Zhu, who was in charge of diplomatic reception, naturally reported this matter to Zhao Dan and asked Zhao Dan to come up with this idea.

Zhao Dan pondered for a moment and made a decision indifferently: "Let's leave Huayang Jun for a few days first. I want to meet Wu Chengjun first."

An hour later, Zhao Dan met Lu Buwei.

Lu Buwei respectfully knelt down to Zhao Dan, who was sitting in the upper head: "I have seen the king!"

Zhao Dan looked at Lu Buwei's head that had almost dropped to the ground, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Wu Chengjun, as a minister of Qin, you came on behalf of the King of Qin, but you gave me this great gift. Isn't it a bit inappropriate?"

Lu Buwei thought to himself that if he didn't do this etiquette, he might be over. How dare I not do it?

But he said to Zhao Dan with a righteous face, "King, although I am in Qin, I have never dared to forget the King's cultivation of me. I am a member of Zhao and a ghost of Zhao when I die. Everything I think in my heart is loyal to the King. Please give me a clear understanding!"

Lu Buwei's words were both full of emotion, and his eyes turned red, and he looked like a loyal and good minister.

Regarding Lu Buwei's behavior, Zhao Dan just wanted to say that if I hadn't been a time traveler, I would have really believed in you, Lu Buwei.

The so-called politician, the first thing is that the performance skills must be very good, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with.

Simply put, it is to be a "dramaster".

Not wanting to be a good politician is not a good politician.

Judging from the records in historical books, Lu Buwei is undoubtedly a very famous drama artist in this era.

Considering that Lu Buwei was born in the industry known as a businessman, a drama master, Lu Buwei's acting skills were probably at the top level in this era, and even in the history of China for thousands of years.

After every contact with Lu Buwei, Zhao Dan has a deeper and sincere recognition of this.

If you deal with such a drama genius, you really don’t know if you were accidentally deceived.

However, Zhao Dan was not worried about Lu Buwei's acting at all. After all, Zhao Dan and Lu Buwei now have common interests.

Lu Buwei's eldest son and daughter are now one of the companions and confidants of Zhao State's crown prince Zhao Heng, and the other is Zhao Heng's eldest wife.

Although the industries of the Lü family now have been transferred to Qin, the real essence is still left in Zhao, but it has just changed its appearance and appeared in other forms.

No other alliance is stronger than this kind of alliance where the interests of both sides are closely linked.

What's more, Lu Buwei has a handle in Zhao Dan's hands.

In the past few years, the Hu Yiwei of Zhao State has infiltrated Qin under the cover of Lu Buwei, and the extent of this infiltration has expanded increasingly with the increase of Lu Buwei's official position.

Once this matter is revealed, no matter who sits in the position of the king of Qin, he will definitely kill Lu Buwei, a traitor who is traitor who is traitor.

Therefore, Zhao Dan was fearless. The clever Lu Buwei also understood this point. Through his words and actions just now, he once again showed his loyalty to Zhao Dan, with the purpose of reassuring Zhao Dan.

After a few unpainful greetings between the two sides, Zhao Dan began to get to the point: "Lu Qing, what is the purpose of the Crown Prince of Qin this time? "

As soon as he heard the title of Lu Qing, the smile on Lu Buwei's face suddenly became even stronger and he hurriedly said: "Back to the king, the reason why the prince of Qin sent ministers to come is mainly to seek peace from the king, and to exchange the land of Hedong County occupied by Qin for the Yinjin City that was conquered by General Li Mu."

Zhao Dan nodded slightly, thought for a while and said, "I wonder what Lu Qing thinks about this proposal?"

When Lu Buwei heard this, his heart thumped slightly, and he knew that Zhao Dan’s real test had come.

Although Lu Buwei only said that he was loyal to Zhao State and Zhao Dan, he had to prove it with practical actions to make people believe it.

Fortunately, Lu Buwei was prepared for this, so he immediately smiled calmly and said to Zhao Dan: "King, in the opinion of the minister, the king can agree or not."

"Oh?" Zhao Dan raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "What does Lu Qing mean?"

Lu Buwei coughed and said, "I believe that if the king's next strategic focus is on the Central Plains, then agreeing to Qin's peace at this moment is undoubtedly the best strategy. As long as you make peace with Qin, the king can mobilize General Li Mu's troops from the east of the Guhan Channel to exit the Central Plains, launch an attack on Han and Wei and other countries, thereby expanding the results of the Central Plains."

Speaking of this, Lu Buwei paused for a moment and found that Zhao Dan had no intention of speaking, so he continued: "If the king hopes to teach Qin a lesson, then he should not cease the war with Qin now, but first defeat Wei, Qi, Han and other countries, and then mobilize a large army to go west to Hangu Pass and head straight to Xianyang. If everything goes well, it is not impossible to go to Guanzhong in one battle!"

Zhao Dan listened to Lu Buwei's words and showed a thoughtful expression on his face.

It has to be said that as a powerful man who keeps his name in history books, Lu Buwei does have his ability and can clearly explain the two choices of Zhao State now.

However, Zhao Dan still did not express any opinions on this, but continued: "So which solution should I choose?"

Looking at Zhao Dan's appearance, Lu Buwei felt a little nervous.

You should know that when Lu Buwei was talking just now, he was observing Zhao Dan's expression. As long as Zhao Dan showed a little interest or disgust, Lu Buwei knew how to continue.

However, Zhao Dan's expressionless look made Lu Buwei unable to observe anything at all, and he could not use his ability to figure out the intention.

Lu Buwei thought for a while, and finally made up his mind and gritted his teeth and said, "Since the king has his destiny, I will dare to show my shame. In my opinion, the king should make peace with Qin and make every effort to manage the Central Plains."

Zhao Dan whispered and said without comment: "Why is this?"

Lu Buwei said: "When I go back to the king, the reason why I suggest this is because the main force of the King's Central Army is always stationed in Handan, and Handan is located in the heart of the Central Plains, so there are naturally excellent conditions for pursuing the Central Plains. If you want to attack Guanzhong from a distance, not to mention the huge logistical pressure for mobilizing troops and mobilizing the masses, and the army outside will inevitably lead to the empty guards of Handan, and it is easy to be taken advantage of by the Shandong countries. It is better to take down the Central Plains first and then draw Guanzhong later."

Zhao Dan glanced at Lu Buwei and continued to ask calmly: "If this is the case, then how should Qin State solve it?"

Lu Buwei straightened up and said, "Although I am not talented, as long as I am still in the position of Qin Prime Minister for one day, Qin will definitely not become an enemy of Zhao!"

The subtext of Lu Buwei's words is that Qin will not drag Zhao down. If Zhao Dan unified the Central Plains and then advanced westward, then one Qin State would not be able to stop destroying Zhao, the other five Shandong countries.

When Zhao Dan heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, looking at Lu Buwei and slowly said, "If so, then why did the prince of Qin not obey Lu Qing's words this time and insisted on going against me?"

A drop of cold sweat dripped from Lu Buwei's forehead and he hurriedly explained: "King, the reason for this is that Cai Ze is hindering it. As long as the king gives me some time, I will definitely be able to get rid of Cai Ze. By then, the entire Qin State is in my hands, and this battle will not happen."

Zhao Dan did not speak immediately, but sat there quietly looking at Lu Buwei. His eyes were very calm, but it made Lu Buwei sweat involuntarily.

You should know that what Lu Buwei said just now actually has his own selfishness, but this kind of selfishness is absolutely impossible to say to Zhao Dan now.

Could it be that Zhao Dan discovered this selfish intention?

Just as Lu Buwei was sweating profusely and was about to kneel down, Zhao Dan finally spoke.

"Lu Qing, you have done a good job, so let's go down and have a good rest first."

When Lu Buwei heard this, he felt relieved and hurriedly stood up and bowed to Zhao Danshen. His tone was extremely sincere: "I thanked the king for his praise, so I will take my leave."

After Lu Buwei left, Mao Sui suddenly appeared next to Zhao Dan from a corner.

Miao Xian has completely retired, and Mao Sui has officially become Miao Xian's successor.

"The king really believed in this person?" Mao Sui said softly to Zhao Dan: "According to the secret report of Hu Yiwei's eyeliner beside this person, Lu Buwei seemed to be planning something."

Zhao Dan smiled and said, "It's okay, as long as it is harmless to me and Zhao State, just let him mess with me."

Mao Sui said: "I am worried that he will do something to harm the king's great cause."

Zhao Dan laughed and said, "Mao Sui, you are thinking too much. With the strength of Zhao State now, even without him, Lu Buwei as his inner support, my great cause would not stop because of this!"

Zhao Dan's words were filled with incomparable confidence.
