Chapter 24
Han was destroyed, and the King of Wei also agreed to marry Qin and recognized the fact that Han was destroyed. Mao Jiao, as the envoy of Qin, naturally had no need to stay in Wei again.
When Mao Jiao and his team's convoy entered Xinzheng, even with Mao Jiao's mood, he couldn't help but get excited. As the first person to serve the King of Qin and made great contributions to the State of Wei, he knew very well what he would get next. From now on, the court of the State of Qin will have a place for Mao Jiao.
"Xinzheng, South Korea has been in operation for more than 200 years. When our Wei Kingdom was in power in the past, we also had bloody hair under this strong city, which was so damaged that it was finally taken advantage of by Qi. General Pang Juan was defeated in Maling. The decline of our Wei Kingdom began here. Unexpectedly, this strong city would be taken down by the King of Qin so easily." Wei Yong, the Situ of Wei Kingdom, who was walking with Mao Jiao, looked at the scenery in Xinzheng City through the car window and sighed.
"Since the time when the King of Qin decided to send troops to Han, the ending of Han was already destined. Lord Situ should know that in order to destroy Han, our Qin State invested 400,000 elite troops. Not to mention Han in this military strength, even if you, Wei State, may not be able to stop it." Mao Jiao smiled. A strong country was strong. Although he was not a Qin State, as a minister of Qin State, he would naturally be proud of having such a powerful country behind him that the world would be aimed at.
"The King of Qin endured in Hangu Pass for several months, and if he didn't take action, he would have to attack. If he took action, he would be a thunder attack. Not to mention that it was our Wei Kingdom, I am afraid that no country in the six countries could withstand the King of Qin's methods." Wei Yong said with a wry smile.
"I have been thinking about a question on the way to Xinzheng. King Qin is really only thirteen years old? Such experienced methods can make the whole world calculate the people in it. It is too incredible to say that he is just a thirteen-year-old boy." Wei Yong continued.
Mao Jiao was also very curious about Wei Yong's question. A person can have extraordinary wisdom in his youth because of his talent, but things like vision cannot be shaped by talent. They require experience and precipitation, but this principle does not seem to be true for the King of Qin.
"The ancient sages were born to know it, and now there is no need to be too surprised if there is a king." Mao Jiao naturally would not express his doubts. As a minister of Qin, he naturally needed to maintain the image of his king at all times.
"This is no longer a matter of being born with knowledge. If I read it correctly, the convoy behind us should be the convoy of the envoy of Zhao State, Lord Mao. Why did the envoy of Zhao State appear behind us at this time? I guess you should know?" Wei Yong said with a smile.
"Is it strange that they came later than us?" Mao Jiao said in confusion.
"Mr. Mao's explanation is indeed nothing wrong, but I remember that during Daliang, Lord Mao once told the King of Wei that the King of Qin had reached a deal with Zhao State with the 100,000 Zhao Army besieged by the Qin army by the Qin army. It is precisely because of this that the King of Wei agreed not to ask about the destruction of Han, but now the envoy of Zhao State appears behind us. Lord Mao, please don't tell me, there is nothing wrong with this." Wei Yong was still smiling, but this smile combined with his appearance always gives people a sinister feeling.
"Uh? What else is there? If this is the case, please help Lord Situ solve the problem." Mao Jiao replied.
"I never believe that it is a pure coincidence that the envoy of Zhao State appears behind us. If I guess correctly, it must have been arranged by the King of Qin in advance." Wei Yong said calmly, as if he had already understood the truth.
"The king shouldn't be so boring, right? But it's also possible that the king is just a boy after all." Mao Jiao insisted, but in fact there were already storms in his heart.
"If it were someone else, I might believe it, but he is the King of Qin. Such a logic cannot be true for King of Qin. How could the King of Qin do such a boring thing? In my opinion, all of this was arranged by the King of Qin. As for the purpose, haha." Wei Yong laughed at this point.
"It is not difficult to guess the purpose. Lord Mao used Zhao to deceive our king, making the king mistakenly think that Zhao had really reached an agreement with Qin. It is precisely because of this that the king had to admit that South Korea was destroyed. In fact, Zhao did not reach an agreement with Qin at that time, so the envoys of Zhao followed us at that time."
Wei Yong paused and continued: "The King of Qin deliberately let the envoys of Zhao see us, so that the envoys of Zhao will discover that our Wei State has formed an alliance with you Qin. In this way, the power of Zhao State is difficult to fight against Qin, and there are 100,000 Zhao troops held by the King of Qin. In this way, they have to agree to the King of Qin's conditions."
"The Qin King's methods are indeed powerful. He really plays the kings of Wei and Zhao in their hands." Wei Yong exclaimed.
"It shouldn't be so." Mao Jiao's face was a little unnatural.
"Will Lord Mao still hide it at this point?" Wei Yong said coldly.
"Since Lord Situ has already known the inside story, I wonder what Lord Situ is going to do next? Is it telling the envoys of Zhao State and the King of Wei? In this way, the Zhao-Wei alliance will naturally be willing to join." Mao Jiao also realized at this time that Wei Yong said that there must be other purposes, otherwise he would never tell this matter at this time, which would be a way to die.
"I just like to deal with smart people like Lord Mao. I haven't said anything yet, Lord Mao has guessed what I think." Wei Yong laughed.
"What about Lord Situ's conditions?" Mao Jiao asked.
"I have a daughter who is about sixteen years old, and she is the age of marriage." Wei Yong said something that seemed irrelevant.
"Situ, don't you think?" Mao Jiao said with a strange look. He vaguely guessed what Wei Yong wanted to say. This old man wanted to be the father-in-law of the King of Qin.
"My daughter is beautiful and well-educated, and can be a good match for the King of Qin." Wei Yong said.
"But Lord Situ's daughter is three years older than the king. Besides, the king wants to accept the princess of Wei." Mao Jiao was embarrassed.
"It's only three years old, and more importantly, three years older is the best age. Lord Mao, you should understand that at the age of King Qin, compared with girls of the same age, they prefer sisters who are a few years older than those of them." Wei Yong said confidently, as if he had mastered something amazing.
"Besides, I am the same lineage as the King of the King, and I am both the descendant of Wenhou. My little girl can be regarded as a member of the Wei royal family. As for the title of princess, as long as the King of Qin agrees to take the little girl as his wife, I think the king will generously give the title of princess to the little girl," Wei Yong said.
"Mr. Situ, you have such a good idea." Mao Jiao exclaimed. Even though he had always been arrogant and talented, he had to admire the Situ of Wei in front of him.
"It was also the King of Qin's plan that inspired me. How about it? Lord Mao, is this transaction feasible? I think this transaction that is beneficial to King Qin and Lord Mao will not be rejected, right?" Although Wei Yong was asking, the answer was actually certain.
"I can help Situ, but the final decision is still with the king." Mao Jiao replied.
"I naturally know these things, so this transaction is considered to be established."
"That's natural, something that is beneficial to both sides. Why should I refuse?" Mao Jiao smiled.
"In this way, Lord Lao Mao will be there." Wei Yong was completely relieved at this time.
"However, there is one thing that Situ asks you to tell me, why do you want to marry your daughter to the king? I'm really a little curious about this."
"There is nothing else, just a way out."
"A back road."
Soon the group came to the former Han Palace, and the envoys of Zhao State arrived soon.
After Wei Yong got out of the car, he saw Ji Wuye, who had been guarding in front of the Han Palace since then. This former general of South Korea may have lived a good life, although the country was destroyed.
"It turns out to be Wei Situ. I have been guessing who the envoys of Wei State would be." The envoys of Zhao State who caught up with him came to Wei Yong and his group, and greeted him with a smile.
"I was also curious about who the envoy of Zhao State would be. I didn't expect it would be Guo Kai, Lord Guo." Wei Yong took Guo Kai's hand and said enthusiastically.
