Chapter 873 Lu Buwei's Reason

"As the Qin Dynasty's peace consul, Lu Buwei came to Handan to ask for peace from me?" When Zhao Dan heard this, the expression on his face was very surprised.

Zhao Dan thought that the Qin State would of course seek peace, but it should not happen at this node.

Because the bones of the Qin people were very hard, and they could not turn over until they were beaten until they could not turn over until they were beaten. How could they come to ask for peace?

But then I thought about it, since the person who came was Lu Buwei, maybe it was Lu Buwei who convinced King and Chu of Qin, so that King and Chu of Qin could agree to seek peace with Zhao State.

Since it was Lu Buwei...

Zhao Dan coughed and said, "Come on, I'll send an order and say that I'll hold a banquet in the palace to entertain the Qin envoy!"

Zheng Zhu, a major official who came to report to Zhao Dan, couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this and said, "Master, isn't this a bit too kind to treat others?"

Zhao Dan smiled and said, "It's okay. Although I don't take the Qin people too seriously, the Qin people come to discuss peace with me. As long as I take the attitude of treating Qin envoys with me, other countries may imitate Qin, right? Even if it doesn't work, I will not lose anything."

Since Zhao Dan said so, Zheng Zhu naturally couldn't say anything more.

A few days later, the dusty Lu Buwei arrived in Handan.

As soon as he arrived in Handan, Lu Buwei immediately went to the palace to meet Zhao Dan. It seemed that he was very concerned about peace talks, at least he gave the Qin spies in Handan this feeling.

Zhao Dan also hosted Lu Buwei with a formal banquet, and there were also important officials such as Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng, Si Kou Yuxin and others attended the meeting, which could be said to have given enough face to Lu Buwei and the Qin people.

In addition, Zhao State Crown Prince Zhao Dan and the Crown Princess also attended the meeting, which made Lu Buwei look quite happy and kept drinking.

After almost the drink, the banquet dispersed, and Zhao Dan took Zhao Sheng, Yu Xin and Lu Buwei into the inner hall.

Zhao Dan looked at Zhao Sheng and Yu Xin who were somewhat confused, and then smiled and said, "Okay, now, I won't hide it from the two Qing families. In fact... Wu Chengjun is his own person."

After some explanation, Zhao Sheng and Yu Xin finally fully understood Lu Buwei's identity.

After fully knowing all this, the shock in their hearts was beyond words.

Qin, which has been the biggest rival of Zhao for a long time, has turned out to be an undercover agent sent by his own king!

If it weren't for the smug look of Zhao Dan and Lu Buwei, Zhao Sheng and Yu Xin wouldn't believe it at all.

But both parties were sitting here and admitted that no matter how shocked they were, both important officials of Zhao must accept such a fact.

After accepting this fact, Zhao Sheng and Yu Xin's admiration for Zhao Dan was unparalleled, especially Yu Xin's face was filled with admiration.

It's really high, even higher than Longtai!

It is easy to know how difficult it is to be able to send Lu Buwei to Qin eight years ago and support Lu Buwei to ascend to the position of prime minister of Qin step by step.

But, the king did it!

...

After learning about Lu Buwei's identity, Yu Xin suddenly felt aroused his heart and remembered another thing.

Speaking of which, Li Mu captured Xianyang City twice in the past, and it was because someone in Xianyang City cooperated with Li Mu in the inside and outside, so that Li Mu could finally succeed.

Now that Lu Buwei, the real identity of Qin prime minister, was revealed, Yu Xin suddenly understood something.

Yu Xin sighed and said to Zhao Dan: "The king is really far-sighted, and I am far from being as good as the king!"

Yu Xin said a lot of flattery to Zhao Dan, most of which were pure flattery, but this time his words were definitely 100% from the heart.

Zhao Dan smiled slightly and said, "Yu Qing is too famous. As the king of Zhao, I naturally have to make some plans for Zhao. This is also a matter of course. Well, Wu Chengjun, you can tell me what you are coming here for now."

Lu Buwei smiled and greeted Zhao Sheng and Yu Xin. Lu Buwei naturally did not want to offend these two guys. After all, Lu Buwei would still want to continue to hang out in the political arena of Zhao in the future. It would be nice to be familiar with these two future colleagues now.

Lu Buwei coughed and said, "Actually, my goal this time is quite simple, I hope that Qin and Zhao can maintain the current situation of the truce."

"Armation in the current situation?" As soon as he heard Lu Buwei's words, the three Zhao kings and ministers frowned.

All the people present were talented, and it was not the first time they had negotiated. Naturally, they could hear the metaphor of Lu Buwei.

Now the Xihe County of Zhao State is still in the hands of the Qin people. If it is really based on Lu Buwei's statement, wouldn't it mean that Zhao State wants to recognize the fact that Xihe County was possessed by the Qin people?

Judging from the current status and situation of Zhao State, this is actually not something that is acceptable to people.

Zhao Sheng glanced at Zhao Dan and found that Zhao Dan had no intention of speaking, so he coughed and said, "Wu Chengjun, if you do this, we are not very good at explaining to the people below."

It is because Zhao Dan had introduced it before that Zhao Sheng knew that Lu Buwei was his own person, so he was so polite when he spoke.

If the real envoy from Qin was sitting in front of Zhao Sheng, then Zhao Sheng would have already started to swear without hesitation.

In the past few wars, the territory of Zhao State was not unoccupied by Qin State, but basically these occupied territories will be reclaimed by Zhao State at the end of the war.

The current Zhao State is stronger than any previous war, but it has to make concessions that have never been made in the previous war. Isn’t this nonsense!

Even so, the expression on Zhao Sheng’s face tells it all.

From Zhao Sheng's own perspective, he is the Uncle Wang of the King of Zhao and the Prince of Zhao. Even if Lu Buwei is a "person" and has the identity of the Princess' father, he is just a future subordinate to Zhao Sheng.

Lu Buwei obviously understood the dissatisfaction in Zhao Sheng's words, but he did not look angry at all. Instead, he smiled: "Pingyuan Jun misunderstood. Since I am loyal to Zhao State, I will naturally not let Zhao State suffer a loss this time."

"Oh?" Yu Xin couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Doesn't it be that Zhao's loss to admit that Qin's occupation of Xihe County was not the loss?"

In contrast to Zhao Sheng, who did not take Lu Buwei seriously, Yu Xin's perception of Lu Buwei is in another direction.

As a minister, Yu Xin wanted to do the most, of course, two things: the first is the ultimate title of title, and the other is the ultimate title of official position.

Yu Xin thought it would be a matter of bribery sooner or later, so Yu Xin was most concerned about the most now.

After the past few years, Yu Xin began to understand that although his king once wanted to replace Zhao Sheng, now he is like this, it is estimated that Zhao Sheng's Xiangbang should be able to fight until he dies of old age.

So Zhao Sheng is no longer a competitor of Yu Xin. At least before Zhao Sheng himself did anything, Yu Xin could not replace Zhao Sheng.

However, Yu Xin is also very confident. In this situation, as long as Zhao Sheng dies, Yu Xin will definitely be the successor.

But now another Lu Buwei appeared, and there was a problem.

Although Lu Buwei is still a native of Qin, he is confident that Zhao will unify the world sooner or later. Yu Xin feels that it will be a matter of time before Lu Buwei is in the same palace as Lu Buwei.

At that time, Lu Buwei will definitely have the great contribution to destroying Qin first, and secondly, he will be the crown princess, the father of the future queen of Zhao State, which will pose a great challenge to Yu Xin.

Therefore, with just a few thoughts, Yu Xin already regarded Lu Buwei as his biggest opponent in the future to compete for Xiangbang.

Even if Zhao Sheng is dead now and let Yu Xin take over as prime minister, as long as the crown prince succeeds to the throne in the future, Lu Buwei will definitely be a threat from Yu Xin.

This is why Yu Xin almost couldn't wait to jump out and pick on Lu Buwei. Otherwise, from a political standpoint, Yu Xin should actually stand opposite Zhao Sheng and agree with Lu Buwei's opinions.

Sure enough, as soon as Yu Xin finished speaking, Lu Buwei looked at Yu Xin in surprise, obviously not very clear about why Yu Xin questioned him at this time.

But Lu Buwei did not think so much at this time, but answered directly: "Yu Qing, I think if I cease to fight Qin State with this, Zhao State will not be threatened by an enemy like Qin State, Hedong County, Shangjun, Hetao, Yiqu and other places."

"Wait." Zhao Sheng suddenly interrupted Lu Buwei's words: "What does Wu Chengjun mean is that the land of Yiqiu Kingdom belongs to Zhao Kingdom?"

Lu Buwei smiled slightly and said, "Isn't the Yiqiu Kingdom now under the control of Zhao?"

In fact, the Yiqiu Kingdom is now a borderless land.

In the previous war, some Yiqu people fled to the west under the leadership of Yiqubo, while others led by Yiqulie went south to Guanzhong and surrendered to Qin. The remaining Yiqu people chose to go north to join Zhao. Therefore, the core area of ​​Yiqu Kingdom, which was once the northern county of Qin, was almost uninhabited for thousands of miles.

If Beidi County is used to exchange Xihe County, it will definitely be a bit of a loss, but if Qin can withdraw from this war, it seems that Zhao State will not lose.

After getting Lu Buwei's answer, the king and minister of Zhao couldn't help but look at each other.

This was an unexpected surprise.

Lu Buwei continued: "In addition, there is actually another benefit. I believe that the King and Pingyuan Jun, Yu Qing, both know that Cai Ze, the top leader in the political arena of Qin, is my great enemy. If I successfully take Xihe County from Zhao this time, the King of Qin will definitely trust me more and become alienated from Cai Ze. In this case, I only need to use some small strategies to get rid of Cai Ze, and then the Qin State will be under my control!"

Lu Buwei's meaning is actually very obvious. If Lu Buwei, the "Zhao traitor", really completely controls the power of Qin, then Zhao will definitely be too relaxed to destroy Qin in the future.

Lu Buwei finished all the things he wanted to say in one breath, then bowed to Zhao Dan and said, "How to choose, please give me some advice."
