The envoys of the State of Qin were eagerly looking forward to it, and the carriage finally arrived outside the Zhao capital. When Gan Luo looked out through the carriage window, even though he was young and mature, he couldn't help it at this time.
He showed a surprised look.
King Zhao actually came out of the city in person to greet him, the envoy of Qin.
Is that still King Zhao? A doubt arose in Gan Luo's heart.
But even though he was doubtful, Gan Luo did not dare to hesitate at all. King Zhao went out of the city to welcome him in person. This was to give Qin a great deal of face, and he must also give face to Zhao and King Zhao. Therefore, even if
At this time, there was still some distance from King Zhao's team, but Gan Luo still got out of the car and walked forward.
"I didn't expect that the envoy of the State of Qin turned out to be a young man. In ancient times, Xiang Luo became the teacher of Confucianism's founder Confucius at the age of seven. Now that you are sent as an envoy to a country at the age of twelve, it will be a good story a hundred years later." Zhao
Wang Yan used the cordial attitude toward Queen Zhao to hold Gan Luo's hand.
"King Zhao, have you heard about the news that Prince Dan of Yan State has entered our Qin State?" Faced with Zhao Wang Yan's hospitality, Gan Luo felt a little uncomfortable, but he still agreed with Zhang Tang as he had on the road.
A good plan is a preemptive statement.
This is the rhetoric method used by politicians. They first use means to introduce the other party's thinking into their own rhetoric environment, so as to guide the other party's thinking and make them make decisions that best suit their own interests.
"I heard about it." However, just as Gan Luo expected, Zhao Wangyan's sky changed slightly, seeming to trigger bad memories.
"Has King Zhao heard that Zhang Tang from the Qin State is going to join the Yan State and serve as the Prime Minister of the Yan State?" Gan Luo asked again.
"I heard about it." At this time, Zhao Wangyan looked helpless.
"The State of Yan allowed Prince Yan Dan to enter the State of Qin to serve as a hostage, which shows the determination of the State of Yan to form an alliance with the State of Qin. The State of Qin sent Zhang Tang to the State of Yan to become the Prime Minister, which shows that the State of Qin is sincere in forming an alliance with the State of Yan. Qin
Since the alliance between Yan and Yan is sincere, then does King Zhao know that Zhao will be in danger?" Gan Luo said.
"Although Gu Rang also knows, Qin and Yan have already formed an alliance. As Mr. Gan said, both Qin and Yan have sincere intentions for the alliance, so what can Gu do? Although Zhao has many opponents of Qin and Yan,
We have no choice but to fight." When Zhao Wangyan said this, he could no longer hide the bitterness on his face.
This Zhao Wangyan is too cooperative with him. What happened in Zhaodu? Gan Luo rushed to play with Zhao Wangyan who was so perfect with him. He was a little doubtful for a while, because the plan was going so smoothly at the moment.
.
Although on the way, Gan Luo had already discussed with Zhang Tang a way to break the situation, which was to let Zhao take the initiative to cede the city to Qin. This would not only expand Lu Buwei's fiefdom, benefit him, but also allow the king to defeat the Qin army.
The senior officials were satisfied and continued to attack the Wei State. At the same time, Zhang Tang did not have to risk entering the Yan State. This was a foolproof strategy.
But there is a necessary prerequisite for the implementation of this foolproof strategy, which is to persuade Zhao Wangyan to take the initiative to cede the city and the Qin State. To this end, Gan Luo used many words and has made patient efforts to achieve this. However,
But I never thought that Zhao Wangyan would be so cooperative.
Gan Luo just used the first word, and Zhao Wangyan was already in the game.
Am I really a genius? Or is this King Zhao in front of me really stupid? For a moment, Gan Luo found it difficult to judge.
Is that guy Guo Kai moving so fast? It seems that Gu has underestimated him. In the past, all he had was just because of Guo Kai, but he didn't expect that he had such outstanding abilities. Zhao Wangyan was also thinking at this time.
Very unexpected.
Because Gan Luo's words were exactly what he wanted to hear, and thinking of his previous plans with Guo Kai, Zhao Wangyan naturally attributed the reason to Guo Kai.
Two people with different minds are completely connected for different reasons.
Gan Luo suppressed the surprise in his heart and continued: "Tell the truth to King Zhao, the reason why Qin State wants to form an alliance with Yan State is that attacking Zhao State is just a means. The real purpose is to expand the territory of Hejian. If the king can cede the territory near Hejian
After I return to the Qin State, I will report the five cities of Zhao State to the King Ming and the Prime Minister, and send the Prince of Yan State back to the country."
"This is a good idea, but as the leader of a country, how can you cede the land passed down by your ancestors without a fight?" Zhao Wangyan seemed to be interested, but he still said in a very embarrassed manner.
"King Zhao, is Yan Jun stronger or Zhao Jun stronger?" Gan Luo asked.
"Yan Jun? Ha!" Although Zhao Wangyan did not directly answer Gan Luo's question, his meaning was self-evident.
"If the King of Zhao cedes the city to the Qin State and makes peace with our western and southern borders, then the Zhao State can attack the Yan State. The Yan Army will never be Zhao's opponent. At that time, the Zhao State will be ceded to the Qin State.
The land and cities can be doubled back from the Yan Kingdom." Gan Luo said.
"At that time, will King Zhao still feel that he has failed his ancestors? You must know that the land of Zhao has been expanded in the hands of the king." Gan Luo said, his tone and words were full of seductive power.
"This?" Zhao Wangyan looked struggling.
"King Zhao, this opportunity must not be missed before it comes back." Guo Kai spoke at the right time at this time.
"Okay, that's it, but Mr. Lao Gan has to do everything." Zhao Wangyan said and saluted Gan Luo.
"The State of Zhao has defeated its foreign ministers." Gan Luo quickly returned the greeting.
In February of the fourth year of the Qin Dynasty, Qin's envoy Gan Luo went to Zhao as an envoy. Zhao ceded five cities to expand Qin's land between the rivers.
March, Xianyang.
Prime Minister's Mansion.
"So, this time, no matter how you calculate it, it is our country of Qin that has made the profit. Gan Luo, you are indeed a talent." Lu Buwei looked at Gan Luo who rushed back from Zhao and said in an inexplicable tone.
"Please forgive me, Prime Minister, for your selfishness," Gan Luo said.
Gan Luo believed that Lu Buwei did not know the relationship between him and Zhang Tang, but he would misinterpret his behavior in Zhao as another behavior because he did not know the relationship. Therefore, in order not to expose his relationship with Zhang Tang,
Regarding the relationship between Tang and Tang, he simply asked Lu Buwei to confirm his guess even more urgently.
"It is human nature for young people to be attracted by fame. Moreover, our Qin State has actually benefited from this matter. How can I blame you too much? It's just that our Qin State has been burdened with betraying our alliance.
The bad reputation is a bit bad after all." Lu Buwei said with a troubled expression.
"But what does the current covenant mean?" Lu Buwei said immediately.
"It's just that it's hard to explain things in Yan State."
"Prime Minister, why do we, the Qin State, need to explain things to the Yan State?" Gan Luo said in a timely manner.
"After all, I still broke my promise." Lu Buwei looked helpless, but in fact he didn't care at all.
As Gan Luo said, there is no need for Qin to explain things to Yan.
