At night.
Zhao Country, Handan City.
Dragon Platform Palace.
Zhao Sheng, the Lord of Pingyuan, walked into the palace quickly. The King of Zhao was sitting in front of the table and reading the memorials. When he saw Zhao Sheng rush in, he asked curiously,"Uncle, why did you enter the palace so late at night?”
"Great King, this is a good thing!" Zhao Sheng was agitated." The spy I planted in Xianyang City just replied that the old King of Qin is seriously ill and is in danger. He doesn't have much time left!"”
King Zhao was stunned for a moment before he quickly stood up and walked to Zhao Sheng.
"Is the news reliable?"
"Absolutely reliable!" Zhao Sheng said confidently.
"Good! Alright! The old dog finally fell! Hahaha-"
"That old dog has lived for more than seventy years. The heavens…the heavens must not be able to stand by and want to take him back to the heavens!”
"Hahahaha! Cai!"
King Zhao laughed out loud, so excited that he was incoherent.
Zhao Sheng's face was also full of smiles. The reason why the Qin State could become the most powerful country in the world today was none other than the means of the old King of Qin, Ying Ji.
Now that the old King of Qin was in danger, his life would not last long. Once he died, the entire Qin country would be in turmoil.
After a long moment of excitement, King Zhao clapped his hands and shouted,""Send troops! Take advantage of the time when that old dog is seriously ill to send troops!"
"I have the same idea. We can take advantage of the old Qin King's illness and the fact that the Qin country has no leader to attack. Firstly, we can dampen the Qin's spirit. Secondly, we might be able to give the old Qin King a fatal blow!”Zhao Sheng gritted his teeth.
"Uncle is right! Tomorrow, the court will discuss the matter of attacking Qin. I will reorganize the army and take advantage of the fact that Qin has no leader and the regime is in turmoil to snatch back all the land that Qin has snatched!”
The King of Zhao's tone was extremely excited.
"Yes!"
The next day, at the court meeting, the officials discussed the matter of attacking Qin. In the end, the King of Zhao decided to send Lianpo, who was stationed at the border of Yanzhao, to lead the army to attack Qin.
Qin Country, Xianyang City, Young Master Manor.
Lu Buwei alighted from the carriage and hurried into the Young Master's Residence.
Inside the house, Ying Zichu was kneeling in front of a brazier. When he saw Lu Buwei rush in, he quickly stood up and greeted him,""Sir."
"Young Master, there's no need to be so polite. Let's talk about business first.”Lu Buwei said.
"Good!"
The two of them sat in front of the brazier and began to discuss.
Ying Zichu said," Now that the King is seriously ill, there are signs of chaos in the court. At this time, the Zhao Kingdom has reported that the King of Zhao wants to send Lianpo to lead an army to attack our Qin Kingdom. Mister, do you have any plans to deal with the enemy?”
Lu Buwei frowned and fell into deep thought. After a long time, his eyes lit up and he said,""There is a way, and it can make the Zhao army retreat without spending a single soldier!”
"Please enlighten me, Mister!" Ying Zichu was overjoyed.
"Young Master, please take a look." Lu Buwei stood up and pointed at the map of the seven kingdoms hanging on the wall.
"The State of Zhao is a land of war. In the north is the Xiongnu, in the south is Han and Wei, in the west is the Great Qin, and in the east is Yan and Qi.”
"This time, the King of Zhao sent Lianpo to lead the army. This means that there are no generals stationed in Yanzhao. This is a good opportunity for the Yan Country!”
Lu Buwei pointed at the land of Yanzhao and spoke with assurance.
Ying Zichu immediately stood up and said in surprise,"Sir is planning to use the Yan Country to contain the Zhao Country so that the Zhao Country does not dare to send troops to attack our Qin Country!”
"Not bad! Yan and Zhao are mortal enemies. If Zhao attacks Qin now, Yan will definitely not let go of the opportunity to attack Zhao.”
Lu Buwei continued," Our Qin Country has always been friendly with the Yan Country. Now, we only need to send an envoy to the Yan Country to persuade the King of Yan. The Yan Country will definitely send troops to attack Zhao!”
"Cai! Sir, you are very talented. Please accept a bow from Zi Chu!”Ying Zichu bowed to Lu Buwei.
"Young Master, you don't have to be like this. I don't deserve it.”Lu Buwei quickly helped Ying Zichu up, patted his hand, and said meaningfully,""Now that the king is seriously ill and unconscious, the government is controlled by the crown prince An Guojun. This is an opportunity for the young master.”
"Zichu understands!"
After that, Ying Zichu took a carriage to Zhangtai Palace to meet Crown Prince An Guojun.
At this moment, An Guojun was discussing with General Meng Ao about how to resist the Zhao army. Seeing Ying Zichu, An Guojun said,""You came at the right time. What do you plan to do against the Zhao army attacking Great Qin?”
Ying Zichu bowed and nodded,"I won't hide it from father, Zichu indeed has a countermeasure.”
King An and Meng Ao looked at each other and said,"Tell me."
Then, Ying Zichu told them about Lu Buwei's plan to use Yan to control Zhao. King An and Meng Ao were overjoyed.
"Good plan. I'll send Shi Chen Yao Jia to lobby the King of Yan!”
…………
A month later, under the persuasion of Yao Jia, the envoy of Qin, Yan agreed to send troops. They sent Prime Minister Li Fu to lead 400,000 troops to attack Zhao's Yi, while Qin sent 200,000 troops to attack Zhao's Dai.
Moreover, rumors spread throughout the country of Zhao that the Qin and Yan countries were allied and prepared to attack the country of Zhao from the east and west, causing the people to be in a panic.
When King Zhao heard this news, he was so angry that he jumped up and down.
"Chuyi! On behalf of the land! It was the land that the former Martial Spirit King had spent a lot of effort and blood to obtain!”
"Now, it has become an important place for Zhao. We can't lose it again!”
King Zhao roared.
" Your Highness," Zhao Sheng quickly said," Your Majesty is right. I think we should immediately order Lianpo to reorganize his troops and attack the Eastern Region. We will defeat the Yan army in one fell swoop!"”
When the King of Zhao heard this, his body trembled slightly. He turned his head and said,"Sending Lianpo to fight the Yan army, what about the Qin army?”
"Now that the old King of Qin has arrived, it's a great opportunity to attack Qin. If we miss it…"
"Your Majesty, we should focus on protecting the land of our Zhao Kingdom.”Zhao Sheng gritted his teeth.
"How? Qin and Yan are attacking Zhao. How can I defend?”King Zhao shouted at the top of his lungs.
Everyone in the hall was so frightened by King Zhao that they knelt on the ground.
"Oh right, Great King, we still have hostages from the Qin country. They are the wife and children of the Qin country's Crown Prince's Di son. As long as we send his wife and children back to Xianyang and negotiate with the Qin country, this matter might turn around!”Zhao Sheng said.
King Zhao gradually calmed down and said in a deep voice,""Looks like that's the only way!"
