Chapter 54

Zhao Wangdan died. Ying Zheng did not get this news from Xianyang, but from a seemingly most impossible place.

Guo Kai in Handan.

The first war god of Zhao who had completed the peace talks with Qin, who was outstandingly a month ago, appeared in Xinzheng again. However, compared to the last time, Guo Kai was extremely embarrassed at this time. The distance between Handan and Xinzheng seemed not far from the map, but in terms of transportation in this era, it was still a very long distance. After all, there was no direct road before between Han and Zhao.

In order to arrive in Xinzheng as quickly as possible, Guo Kai has been working hard for several days, and even ran several good horses to death in succession, and arrived in Xinzheng on the fifth day.

"So, since Zhao Wangdan was besieged by Shangdang several months ago, his condition has worsened?" Ying Zheng said speechlessly.

In his memory, Zhao Wangdan must have died next year, but he didn't expect that the previous Shangdang incident caused Zhao Wangdan to die early.

"Report to the King of Qin, the former king was aroused by the fact that the Shangdang incident had long memories of the past. His condition worsened under his worries, and he was unable to survive this winter in the end." Guo Kai said carefully.

"Why did Zhao Yan send you to Xinzheng if he doesn't leave you as a confidant by his side and plans to take over the throne?" Ying Zheng asked knowingly.

"Young Master Yan wants to form an alliance with you, King of Qin." Guo Kai replied.

"condition."

Ying Zheng's answer was very simple, so simple that it caught Guo Kai off guard. He had already designed the lines in his mind, thinking about what kind of speech method to use to convince the King of Qin to agree to form an alliance with Gongzi Yan. He did not expect Ying Zheng's words to be so straightforward.

Fortunately, although Guo Kai is not a good person and his bones are a little softer, he is definitely a person among the talents. Therefore, he was stunned for a moment and quickly clarified his thoughts.

"Young Master Yan hopes that you will temporarily detain the prince who is now a proton in Xianyang. For this reason, Gongzi Yan is willing to offer Taiyuan County to the King of Qin." Guo Kaidao.

"Taiyuan County Gongzi Yan is good at doing business. He is really smart to use the land he snatched from Qin State not long ago to trade with his own business." Ying Zheng sneered.

Of course, Taiyuan County does not belong to Qin, but it was captured from Zhao before the New Year. However, Qin had not yet been able to warm up this land. When the five countries jointly attacked Qin in the first half of the year, they were taken back by Zhao. If we really want to say that it belongs to Zhao, it is more tenable.

Guo Kai couldn't help but smile awkwardly. Although he wanted to say that Ying Zheng was completely unreasonable, he was not Lin Xiangru after all, and he could not be as tough as he could be.

"Young Master Yan can't take out anything other than Taiyuan County?" Ying Zheng said disappointed.

The smart Guo Kai instantly understood what Ying Zheng meant. It was not that he was unwilling to do this transaction, but that he disliked the price too low. Guo Kai realized this and couldn't help but clench his fists, not afraid that the King of Qin Lion would speak loudly, but that he would not want anything.

"If the King of Qin wants anything, if I, Zhao State, I, Prince Yan, will do his best to send it to you, King of Qin." Guo Kai promised.

"If Gongzi Yan agrees to this condition, the transaction will be established."

"Which two people?" Guo Kai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It turned out that it was just two people, so it would be much simpler.

"Princess Zhao State and Li Mu."

"It's okay to talk about the princess, but Li Mu?" Guo Kai hesitated. He could understand Ying Zheng asked Princess Zhao, but what is Li Mu?

Although Li Mu was only a general in Zhao State, Li Mu's status was just like that at this time. He had been guarding the frontier for decades. Although he had made many military achievements, his reputation among the six countries was not that great. But even so, Li Mu was also one of the top generals in Zhao State. Will it be too ugly to use generals in the middle of the country to make a deal?

"When King Zhao used several cities to exchange for Qi's famous general Tian Dan from Qi, but now he alone exchanged Taiyuan County for Li Mu, is it feasible?"

A business that seemed to both sides to make a profit was just like this.

A few days later, the mansion of Prince Yan of Handan.

"What conditions did you agree to Ying Zheng? Don't you know that among all the daughters of the father, my mother and sister, are not married yet? You asked my young master's sister to serve Ying Zheng? You made Ying Zheng slap me in the face all the time." Young Master Yan roared at the dusty Guo Kai.

"Young Master, of course I know Ying Zheng's sinister intentions. He just wants to use the princess to humiliate you, but do we have any other choice now? Not to mention that the King of Qin supports the prince ascending the throne, even if they choose to watch, it will be a disaster for you." Guo Kai said with great pain.

Compared with the throne and sister, there is no need to compare which one is more important. In Guo Kai's opinion, there is no need to compare it, but Gongzi Yan doesn't think so.

This young master of Zhao, who is smart but not very wise, may not be very capable, but his spirit is extremely high. If it weren't for this, Zhao Wangdan would not have kept him by his side.

Since the tragedy of King Wuling of Zhao, the following two generations of King Zhao have had a heart problem: they are worried that they will be harmed by their son.

It is precisely because of this that among King Zhao's sons, the more capable they are, the more taboo they are. On the contrary, the sons who are not capable will make King Zhao look at him differently, just because they are not threatened.

It is precisely because of this that King Zhao is inferior to the next generation. If the State of Zhao had not yet perished ten years later, Zhao Yan would be away from his relatively more capable eldest son, just like his grandfather and father, and be close to his incompetent young son Zhao Qian.

If it weren't for this, with the strong military strength of Zhao State, although it would not change the final outcome, it would be absolutely no problem to be able to last for more than ten years.

"Then you still agree to Ying Zheng's conditions? Ah, are you looking for death?" Gongzi Yan pulled Guo Kai and said angrily.

"Young Master, now we have something to ask Ying Zheng, but we can only recognize his conditions. Besides, I have really tried my best to make Ying Zheng give up Taiyuan County." Guo Kai was almost desperate at this time, and he obviously made a profit. Not only did he have no credit, but he was not a human inside and outside.

"I asked you to use Taiyuan County as a transaction condition, but I didn't ask you to use my sister." Gongzi Yan let go of Guo Kai dejectedly.

"Young Master, I also know that you have a good relationship with the princess, but isn't this a last resort? If you pass by the prince and the throne, then don't say you are protecting the princess, even your life will be difficult to protect." Guo Kai advised painstakingly.

"But Ying Zheng obviously had the intention to humiliate me. Wei Yong was a king and a royal family. His daughter could still get Ying Zheng to be enthroned and titled, but my sister had nothing." Gongzi Yan said annoyedly.

"Husband, if you can't bear it, you will be in trouble with the big plan. Besides, since the King of Qin is willing to humiliate the young master, why don't you give him the same way as him?" Just when Prince Yan was angry, a woman turned from behind the screen. She was only in her twenties, with a beautiful appearance and a gentle expression, but her posture was coquettish. These two completely different beauty appeared on a person, forming a strange balance.

"Ling'er, what did you say?" Gongzi Yan said in surprise.

"Ying Zheng didn't know what the princess looked like. We could take the luggage to replace the Taorunner and find a woman with a low status for Ying Zheng. If Ying Zheng could favor this woman, it would be the most pleasant thing." The woman, who was called Lian'er by Gongzi Yan, smiled.

"Back to be a low-born person..." Gongzi Yan thought for a moment, and his eyes couldn't help but lit up: "Back to be a low-born person and must be favored by Ying Zheng, it is not easy to find such a person, but this is not a problem."

"Of course it's not a problem. Have you forgotten where I came from?" Ling'er said softly.

"You mean looking for it from brothels?" Gongzi Yan hesitated, "Will this be a little too cruel?"

"Are you cruel?" Lian'er asked back.

"Are you cruel?" Young Master Yan asked Guo Kai.

"No, no, it's not cruel at all. It's just right, it's just right." Guo Kai quickly supported the actor.

I have really scolded Gongzi Yan, the concubine, tens of thousands of times in my heart, but it is the most poisonous thing but the woman's heart.

"It's a blessing for Lian'er to find the best candidate." Gongzi Yan laughed.

"Husband, you can rest assured. I already know where to choose such a girl."

This is exactly the case with the so-called destruction of the country. The three of them did not ask about the general's stay or not, but only tried their best for a woman. This is the sadness of Zhao State.

The fall of Zhao State was not because the people refused to fight to the death, nor because the generals were incompetent, but because King Zhao was foolish.
