"What are you thinking?" Zhao Wangyan picked up the bamboo slips on the desk and threw them at Guo Kai.
As his school boy back then, Zhao Wangyan knew Guo Kai far better than most people. After hearing Guo Kai's mysterious words, how could Zhao Wangyan not know that Guo Kai must have discovered something.
"Qin State sent envoys to purchase grain from Qi State a few months ago, part of which was hoarded in Taoyi of Qin State. This shows that Qin State's military policy had not changed a few months ago, but
, now it has changed, and in the Qin State, there is only one person who can change the military policy of the Qin State." Guo Kaidao.
"You mean Lu Buwei?" Zhao Wangyan was not stupid, and he immediately understood the person Guo Kai was referring to.
"It is Lu Buwei. There is only one person who can change Qin's military policy in a short period of time, and that is Lu Buwei." Guo Kai said calmly.
"Even if we know it's Lu Buwei, what can we do?" Zhao Wangyan thought.
"Now that we know about Lu Buwei, we should analyze why Lu Buwei did not hesitate to change Qin's national policy and must form an alliance with Yan. Is it Qin or Lu Buwei who wants to get something from our country, Zhao."
Guo Kaidao.
"The Prime Minister is saying that Lu Buwei has some kind of plot against our Zhao country, but Qin State has no plot against our Zhao country for the time being?" Queen Zhao said.
"Good wishes, Queen." Guo Kai said flatteringly.
As a villain, Guo Kai knows better than anyone else the consequences of offending a woman. Who makes them equal creatures? Therefore, even as the Prime Minister of the State of Zhao, Guo Kai still does not like Queen Zhao, a woman of humble origin.
Dare to underestimate, but treat it with caution.
"What is Lu Buwei's purpose?" Seeing the interaction between his queen and Guo Kai, Zhao Wangyan coughed lightly.
"Hejian." Guo Kai said.
"Hejian?" Zhao Wangyan couldn't react for a while.
"Yes, Your Majesty, it is Hejian. Hejian of Qin State is Lu Buwei's fiefdom. He should want to expand his fiefdom, and Hejian is surrounded by the land of Zhao State. Therefore, if he wants to expand his fiefdom in Hejian
If we want to seize the land, we can only use the Qin army to seize the land of our Zhao country." Guo Kaidao.
"That's not right. Lu Buwei is not so stupid as to use the state's public assets for his own personal gain. Isn't he afraid of shaking his reputation in Qin?" Zhao Wangyan said hesitantly.
"Of course he is afraid. Therefore, when it comes to the alliance between Yan and Qin, it is Yan who takes the initiative to form an alliance with Qin, rather than Lu Buwei using Qin's army for his own selfish interests." Guo Kaidao.
"Ha...ha..." Zhao Wangyan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
"Your Majesty, have you found anything happy?" Queen Zhao quickly praised her.
"I laugh that Lu Buwei is greedy. I laugh that the King of Qin has no power. I laugh that the Qin State is going to be troubled." Zhao Wangyan suppressed his smile and said.
"Your Majesty, I hope the King of Qin will fall out of harmony soon." Guo Kai said with a smile.
"However, how can we change our current situation?" Zhao Wangyan changed the topic.
"Your Majesty, we can cede several cities near the river to Qin." Guo Kai said calmly.
"What? Cede the city? Guo Kai, are you stupid?" Zhao Wangyan's face instantly darkened.
"Your Majesty, it's just a few cities. As long as we cede a few cities to Qin, Lu Buwei will achieve his goal, and his enthusiasm for the Qin-Yan alliance will drop. Moreover, it was Zhao who took the initiative to cede the land, and Lu Buwei will also
There is no need to worry about the reputation of neglecting public affairs for private purposes, and the suppression of Qin's internal forces advocating to attack Wei will be loosened, and Qin can continue to attack Wei." Guo Kaidao.
"Once the Qin-Yan alliance collapses, our Zhao State can take advantage of Qin's attack on Wei to send troops to attack the Yan State and take back several times the land that our Zhao State ceded to Qin." Guo Kaidao.
"Yan State, Wei State?" Zhao Wangyan pondered.
"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister's plan is no good. It is the best choice for Zhao State at the moment." Queen Zhao saw King Zhao Yan's hesitation and quickly advised her.
"This is indeed a clever plan, but how can we make Qin do what we want?" Zhao Wangyan asked.
"Now that the envoys of the State of Qin have entered the territory of our State of Zhao, the king can personally go outside the city to greet the envoys of the State of Qin. I will give the envoys of the State of Qin a hint and let them take the initiative to promote the cession of the city by our State of Zhao. I believe that,
It is impossible for the envoys of Qin to give up this great achievement of winning several famous cities for Qin with just words." Guo Kaidao.
"How can you be sure that the Qin envoy will receive your hint?" Zhao Wangyan asked.
"Because the Qin envoy is a boy who is only twelve years old." Guo Kaidao said.
"What do you mean by this?" Zhao Wangyan asked.
"Young people like reputation the most. Even if the Qin envoy doesn't care about his contribution, he will not care about the reputation brought to him in this matter. At that time, the whole world will know him. It is impossible for a young man to do that.
Refuse to refuse such temptation." Queen Zhao said.
As for why Queen Zhao has such an opinion, it is because her professional experience and her background make her very accurate in understanding the thoughts of men, especially young people. If it were not for her considerable talent in this area,
She would not use the identity of a prostitute to bewitch Zhao Wangyan, who was still just the prince's son, and she would not have the status of the current queen.
"That's true. Since he likes fame, why should I mind lowering my head and lifting him up?" He asked King Zhao Yan.
"Guo Kai, you can do it. I didn't expect you to have such wisdom." Zhao Wangyan, who was in a good mood, joked to Guo.
Guo Kai smiled reservedly, this kind of thing had been commonplace when he and Zhao Wangyan were young.
······
When Guo Kai returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he did not rush to find his new concubine, but came to the study.
"Xiang Guo, you seem to be in a good mood?" A voice came from the study after Guo closed the door of the study.
"Zhen Gang, I have helped you do what you said. You can leave." Guo Kai said coldly to the man in the shadow.
"Xiang Guo, you have to know who you have gained in this transaction." The person who spoke was none other than Luo Wangtianzi's first-class killer, Zhen Gang, one of the Eight Swords of the King of Yue.
Those who are truly strong can cut jade and metal, just like cutting earth and wood, blowing hair and cutting hair, and cutting iron like mud.
"I have made money, but I really have no desire to continue working with a partner who doesn't even know the identity of the transaction partner," Guo Kaidao said.
His previous impassioned speech in front of Zhao Wangyan was made by Zhen Gang. It is true that he has talents, but he is better at conspiracies. As for the general strategy between countries, he is not good at it.
"Who is the person behind you? Who can see the four kingdoms of Qin, Zhao, Yan, Wei, Lu Buwei, and the king are all plotting to get in. In Qin, there are only a few of them. Which of the three queen mothers are they?
?" Guo Kai asked.
"None of them." Zhen Gang shook his head.
"None of them? Could it be..." Guo Kai thought of a name.
"Does the Prime Minister still have the desire to continue cooperation?" Zhen Gang said noncommittally.
"Is it really him?" Guo Kai pointed at the sky and gasped.
