"Then this envoy may I ask if Lord Wu An knew about the peace treaty between Zhao and Qin when he attacked Handan City?”The Han envoy asked aggressively as soon as he arrived.
"As expected!" When Baiqi heard this, he thought to himself that the Han envoy was indeed here for him.
After the Han envoy received the news of the destruction of the Zhao country, he knew that things could not be done.
If Zhao had not been destroyed, the Han envoy could have used the agreement to force the King of Qin to withdraw his troops. However, Zhao had already been destroyed, and it was too late to say anything. If they continued to entangle themselves, they would only offend Qin.
Now that the Qin country was powerful, this would not be of any benefit to their Han country.
Therefore, after receiving the news of Zhao's destruction, the Han envoy had already decided to give up.
However, last night, the Prime Minister of the State of Qin, Fan Ju, sent someone to find him and bring him a few words.
The Han envoy was not stupid and knew that Fan Ju wanted to use him to deal with Baiqi.
However, if he could defeat the Great General of the Qin Country and remove a strong enemy for the Han Country, he would naturally be very happy.
Thus, he took advantage of today's court meeting to pay a visit to King Zhaoxiang of Qin.
His target was Bai Qi. Even if he couldn't defeat Bai Qi, he wanted to leave a thorn in King Zhaoxiang's heart so that he wouldn't dare to use Bai Qi again.
As long as Baiqi did not lead the troops, the other five nations would not be afraid.
As the saying goes, a raging soldier will lead a raging army.
a single general is incapable of exhausting the entire army.
The remaining five nations were not afraid of the Qin army, but of the undefeated Baiqi.
At least in history, after Baiqi died, the Qin army had suffered many defeats.
"Whether this general knows or not, it has nothing to do with the Han country's envoy!”Bai Qi could not help but blurt out.
No matter how Baiqi answered, the Han envoy would find an excuse to attack.
If he said he didn't know, then he would be accused of lying. If he said he knew, then he would be doing it knowingly.
As such, Baiqi chose to use the most direct and crude method. Furthermore, Baiqi was a General, so it was understandable for him to be a bit crude. No one would blame him.
"At that time, the Zhao envoy Su Dai took out the peace treaty to see Lord Wu 'an. Lord Wu' an should know about it. Since you know about the peace treaty, you still want to attack Handan City. This is a blatant violation of the orders of the King of Qin and also a trap for the King of Qin. Do you still have the King of Qin in your eyes?”
The Han envoy was slightly stunned. He did not expect Baiqi to answer like this.
However, those who could become envoys were naturally people who could spit out lotus flowers. He quickly reacted and reprimanded Bai Qi.
This label was quite heavy. It was already a serious crime to openly disobey the orders of the King of Qin, let alone a general like Baiqi who had a large army in his hands.
Even if Bai Qi did not have the intention to rebel, he already had the strength to do so.
This was something that every Emperor was deeply afraid of.
"Back then, this general thought that the peace treaty was made up by the State of Zhao to stall for time and wait for reinforcements. If it wasn't for this general's quick reflexes, the State of Zhao might really have succeeded.”
"Therefore, I can only attack Handan City first.”
Baiqi naturally refused to admit it.
"Have you seen the messenger that the King of Qin sent to order the withdrawal of troops?”The Han envoy spoke again.
"This general has never seen any emissaries. All the soldiers in the army can testify to this.”Bai Qi said without hesitation.
He could not admit it even if he was beaten to death. In any case, there was no evidence.
"Perhaps Lord Wu 'an doesn't want to obey the King of Qin's orders and kill the envoy?”The Han envoy continued.
The Han Country envoy naturally did not know that Baiqi had really killed the envoy sent by the King of Qin. The reason why he said this was to create a rift between the King of Qin and Baiqi.
In any case, the envoy sent by the King of Qin had never returned. He must have died somewhere.
As long as the envoy did not return, they would not be able to prove Bai Qi's innocence. Naturally, they would not be able to prove that the envoy was killed by Bai Qi.
When both sides were unable to prove themselves, it would depend on which side King Zhaoxiang believed.
As the saying went, three people could make a tiger. As long as King Zhaoxiang of Qin heard too much, he would naturally be suspicious. That was enough.
Once King Zhaoxiang suspected that Baiqi killed the envoy to defy the imperial edict, he would no longer trust Baiqi.
This was because no ruler would allow their generals to defy the imperial edict and kill the emissaries. This was tantamount to rebellion.
The reason why those sowing discord schemes in history could succeed time and time again was because the emperor was suspicious. The human heart was unpredictable!
Therefore, those emperors would rather kill the wrong person than put themselves in danger.
"Nonsense, I can testify for the Great General that I have never seen the Great King's messenger.”Meng Ao was the first to step forward. He angrily rebuked the Han Country envoy.
"I can also testify for the Great General. I have never seen any emissary from the Great King, nor have I received any order to withdraw my troops.”Soon, the other generals stood up and glared at the envoy angrily.
Seeing this, Bai Qi was shocked and thought to himself,"Not good, it's going to ruin things!"
King Zhaoxiang of Qin was originally very afraid of him. Now that all the generals in the army had stood up to speak for him, wasn't he roasting him over a fire?
This would only make Qin Zhaoxiang even more wary of him.
"What a good plan to sow discord. Are you trying to sow discord between this general and the king?”
"Is your Han Country afraid? Are you afraid that I will destroy your Han Country like I destroyed Zhao Country?”
"Believe it or not, the next one to be destroyed will be your Han Country!”
Bai Qi stood up and coldly looked at the Han envoy, his heart filled with killing intent.
Even though King Zhaoxiang knew that this was a plan to sow discord, the Han envoy's words made him even more wary of Bai Qi. He was already wary of Bai Qi from the start.
The Han envoy was instantly frightened by Bai Qi's aura and killing intent. His heart tightened when he heard Bai Qi's threatening words.
"Your Majesty, a mere Han envoy dares to slander this general. This general is willing to lead 200,000 troops to destroy Han!”Baiqi bowed to King Zhaoxiang and requested for his orders.
"This general is willing to go out with Great General!”
"This general is also willing to go out with Great General!”
When the generals behind Bai Qi saw this, they all stood up and said angrily.
