"Reporting, Great General, there is a person outside the camp who claims to be an envoy of the State of Zhao.”
In Baiqi's tent, a soldier walked in and reported.
"Oh, the envoy of Zhao?"
"Bring him in!"
Bai Qi's interest was piqued as he instructed the soldier.
In fact, he had already guessed the purpose of the envoy. He wanted to use the peace treaty between Zhao and Qin to force him to retreat.
Baiqi also knew that Zhao would not abide by the agreement and obediently give the city to Qin.
He naturally wouldn't retreat when facing a capricious villain like Zhao.
However, the reason why he still wanted to see the Zhao envoy was to see if he could use the Zhao envoy to pressure the Zhao country and force it to open its gates and surrender.
It would be best if they could take down Handan City without expending a single soldier.
"Zhao Country's envoy Su Dai greets the Qin Country's Great General Baiqi and all the Qin Country's Generals!”
Not long after, the Qin soldiers brought a young man to Baiqi's tent.
Other than Baiqi, there was also a group of generals from the Qin Country.
This young man was thin and weak, but his eyes were constantly shining.
Just as Bai Qi was sizing up Su Dai, Su Dai was also sizing up Bai Qi.
This was the first time Su Dai had seen Bai Qi, but Bai Qi's reputation had already spread throughout the world.
"May I know why Lord Su has come to see me?”
Baiqi sat on the seat of honor and looked at Su Dai as he spoke.
"Zhao and Qin have already reached an agreement to sue for peace. Not only did General Baiqi not retreat, he even led his army to Handan City. Is this the will of the Great General or the King of Qin?”
Su Dai was indeed a strategist, forcing Baiqi into a corner with just one sentence.
If Baiqi answered that it was his own idea, then he would be disobeying the King of Qin's orders, which would be a huge crime.
If Baiqi said that this was the intention of the King of Qin, then it meant that the King of Qin had betrayed the agreement and did not abide by it.
"Peace treaty? Generals, have you ever heard of the peace treaty between Zhao and Qin?”
Baiqi did not directly answer Su Dai's question. Instead, he turned his head and asked the Qin generals beside him.
This question easily resolved Su Dai's tricky question.
At the same time, he also denied the existence of the peace treaty between Zhao and Qin.
"I have never heard of it either!"
Meng Ao and the other generals immediately spoke up.
It was just a sentence that Su Dai had never heard before, but it instantly dissolved Su Dai's words that were filled with lethality.
After Su Dai heard this, he immediately frowned slightly.
Perhaps the acting skills of Baiqi and the others were too superb, even Su Dai could not see any flaws.
He thought that Bai Qi and the others did not know about the peace treaty.
After all, in his opinion, Baiqi and the others were not bold enough to defy the king of Qin's orders.
In this era, famous generals cherished their reputations.
Li Mu, Meng Tian, and the other generals would rather commit suicide than rebel.
Su Dai was afraid that Baiqi and the others would know about the peace treaty and pretend to be crazy. If that happened, Zhao would be in danger.
Since Baiqi and the others didn't know about the peace treaty, things were easy.
"Perhaps Great General missed the messenger of the King of Qin. However, it doesn't matter. The envoy brought the agreement between Zhao and Qin.”
Su Dai said with a faint smile. Then, he took out the agreement from his pocket and handed it over.
With this agreement, Baiqi and the others wouldn't go back on their word.
"Fan Ju, Su Dai?"
Bai Qi took the agreement and his eyes narrowed.
This was because other than the seals of the two kings, there were also the names of the ministers who were responsible for the negotiations.
Baiqi was not surprised by Fan Ju's name because he knew that Fan Ju was the one who had caused the Zhao Country to sue for peace.
The other name, Su Dai, was the emissary in front of him.
"Are you the Su Dai on this?”
Bai Qi raised his head and asked Su Dai.
"Yes, it is the envoy. This agreement was signed when the envoy was sent to the Qin country.”
Su Dai nodded and said with certainty.
"How dare the envoy of Zhao State, Su Dai, forge an agreement?”
Bai Qi immediately stood up and slammed the table, pretending to be furious.
He must not admit that this agreement was real. Otherwise, he could only withdraw his troops. Otherwise, he would be disobeying the orders of the King of Qin. This was a serious crime.
Especially since King Zhaoxiang was already wary of Baiqi's achievements. If he did this again, although he would not die, it would definitely leave a thorn in his heart.
Su Dai didn't expect Bai Qi to suddenly attack him. He was slightly stunned, and then his expression changed.
He wasn't a fool, and in just a blink of an eye, he realized the crux of the matter. It wasn't that Bai Qi didn't know about the peace treaty, but that Bai Qi didn't want to retreat at all.
If that was the case, then their country of Zhao would really be in danger.
"If Great General doesn't believe it, you can send someone to Xianyang to verify the authenticity of this news. When Great General finds out that this agreement is fake, it won't be too late to attack Handan City.”
After Su Dai found out about Baiqi's intentions, he wanted to find an excuse to delay Baiqi's attack on Handan City and buy Zhao more time.
"This general will naturally send people to Xianyang to verify the truth of this matter. However, in order to prevent you from using trickery to delay time and delay the opportunity, Handan City must also be attacked. If this news is confirmed to be true, then it will not be too late for this general to withdraw his troops.”
Bai Qi said calmly.
"You, you…"
Su Dai was so angry by Bai Qi's words that he was speechless.
After Baiqi verified the authenticity of the information, the entire country of Zhao might be destroyed.
At the same time, Baiqi was giving Qin Wang and himself a way out.
Baiqi had already sent people to verify the authenticity of the agreement, so it was not really a violation of the Qin King's agreement.
Moreover, by then, the entire country of Zhao would be destroyed. The authenticity of this agreement would no longer be important.
Perhaps even the King of Qin himself would not admit that this agreement was true.
After all, the State of Zhao was destroyed. If the King of Qin said that the agreement was true, wouldn't that be slapping his own face?
Moreover, if Baiqi really could destroy the State of Zhao, the entire State of Qin and the King of Qin would be overjoyed.
"Wonderful!" When Meng Ao and the other generals heard Baiqi's words, they couldn't help but praise him in their hearts.
They didn't expect the general to make the envoy speechless.
Those who could act as envoys were basically people who could talk.
However, they were rendered speechless by their Great General. This filled their hearts with curiosity. They did not know when their Great General had become so eloquent.
"Men, drag this envoy of Zhao away and interrogate him. Ask him how he bribed and colluded with the Prime Minister of Qin, Fan Ju.”
Baiqi continued.
It was a fact that Su Dai bribed Fan Ju, and it was not considered as maligning Fan Ju. It was fine as long as he avoided mentioning the matter of the peace agreement.
After all, that agreement was also approved by King Qin Zhaoxiang. Once the peace treaty was mentioned, King Qin Zhaoxiang would definitely be dragged into it. At that time, it would be difficult to deal with Fan Ju.
Baiqi was preparing to deal with Fan Ju.
Since Fan Ju and Baiqi were already opposing each other, there was no need for Baiqi to be polite to Fan Ju.
Furthermore, Bai Qi's death was closely related to Fan Ju.
It was also because Fan Ju had fanned the flames in King Zhaoxiang's ears that Baiqi was sentenced to death.
Furthermore, Fan Ju was narrow-minded and vengeful.
The origin of this idiom was from the Records of the Historian. Fan Ju was mentioned in the Biography of Fan Ju and Cai Ze.
Su Dai was a smart person. When he heard Bai Qi's words, he instantly guessed what he meant.
Baiqi wanted to use him to deal with Fan Ju.
Of course, Su Dai knew about the discord between Fan Ju and Bai Qi. Back then, he had used this to persuade Fan Ju to agree to the peace treaty.
Although Fan Ju was narrow-minded and vengeful, he was still very capable.
However, Fan Ju had done something that would harm the interests of the Qin Country because of his own selfishness and jealousy. This had crossed Baiqi's bottom line.
Therefore, Fan Ju must die.
Baiqi and Su Dai were both smart people, and when smart people spoke, they did not need to be completely clear.
Su Dai told him everything about how Fan Ju had accepted bribes from the State of Zhao. He even added many charges of colluding with the State of Zhao to Fan Ju.
Since Baiqi wanted something, Su Dai would give it to him.
Although Su Dai knew that Baiqi was openly plotting, he had no choice but to follow his orders.
Because he was also happy to see the death of the Prime Minister of the State of Qin, Fan Ju. This was also a good thing for the other six states, so he naturally had no reason to refuse.
After Baiqi received Su Dai's signed confession, he got someone to get rid of him.
Su Dai could not stay.
