Chapter 265 It is better to lead Hedong County to surrender to Zhao!
If Wang Ji was somewhat wary and prepared for this envoy of Zhao before, then at this moment, Wang Ji, whose psychological defense line was repeatedly broken through, had actually been greatly weakened.
Wang Ji raised his head and said in a hoarse voice: "I don't know why the great deeds teach me?"
Obviously, Wang Ji has begun to shake.
Zheng Zhu smiled and said, "If the county magistrate is willing to lead Hedong County to surrender to Zhao and follow Feng Ting's affairs, he will not only have no worries about life, but also protect his wealth and honor for a lifetime. This is a perfect strategy."
Although he was mentally prepared, when he heard this, Wang Ji's body couldn't help but shake it. He came over for several breaths and said, "Submit, surrender Zhao?"
Wang Ji looked very hesitant.
In fact, when Zheng Zhu said that there was a plan to save Wang Ji, Wang Ji had a premonition.
But...it's a bad reputation if you do something like a traitor!
Of course, there are indeed many traitors these days, but you have to betray you, too, depend on who you betray?
If you betray a weak chicken like a Korean Yan State, there must be no pressure at all. Anyway, these weak chickens do not have the ability to cause trouble!
But if you want to betray Qin, you have to weigh the trade-offs.
You should know that as the prince of Wei and the prime minister of Wei, wasn’t Wei Qi killed by Fan Sui, who became the prime minister of Qin?
Zheng Zhu obviously saw Wang Ji's hesitation and immediately continued, "Why should the county magistrate be too worried? As today's current situation is no longer the same. In the past, Qin State was the only one who commanded the world but dared to obey. In the world today, Zhao can defeat Qin. If the county magistrate joins Zhao, Feng Ting can only offer Shangdang Mountain to be granted the title of king. If the county magistrate presents a wealthy land in Hedong, why worry about not being rich and noble?
After Zheng Zhu said this, Wang Ji felt that the balance in his heart seemed to be shaken again.
That's right, if you defect to other countries, you may end up with Wei Qi, but Zhao State is different.
Zhao State was the overlord of Qin twice in succession. If he got Hedong County from Qin State, Zhao State would be stronger than Qin State!
In this way, the option of joining Zhao State seems to have become quite reliable again...
Wang Ji's face was unstable and he seemed quite shaken.
Zheng Zhu took advantage of the situation and added another fire and said, "My king already has a famous saying. If the county magistrate is willing to surrender, you can choose any place in Hedong County and be the county magistrate's consecration!"
Wang Ji's body shook again when he heard this, and even his eyes were straight: "Stay, just keep your body closed?"
If the title of the king is the title that every minister dreams of, then the title of the king is what every prince thinks of day and night!
Unlike the Spring and Autumn Period, by the Warring States Period, most countries had begun to have different centralization, and their fiefdoms were no longer independent kingdoms for the fiefs, and they were usually managed by officials sent by the state government.
At this time, the vassals were nominally lords, but generally speaking, they could only withdraw from the taxes of the fief.
This is actually basically the same as the "fisted households" in the Han Dynasty.
But the seal is different.
The difference between it is that if a monarch is a seal, then not only will he be prosperous and worry-free in his life, but more importantly, this monarch can also maintain an army in the fief!
In this era when wars are as common as eating, an army that can be controlled by one's own hands is of great significance and does not require any explanation.
Even the current Zhao State Prime Minister Zhao Sheng and Si Kou Zhao Bao, the two princes, are not yet sealed.
Now there is only one monarch in Zhao State who is a sealed king, that is, the Wu Xinjun Lianpo, who defeated the Qin people in the Battle of Changping!
The previous Zhao State's fixed king was Zhao She, the Ma Fujun, who wiped out 100,000 Qin troops in the battle with him!
These are all solid seals that have made countless military achievements for Zhao State and have been made from the sea of corpses and blood.
Now, as long as Wang Ji is willing, he can surpass Zhao Sheng and Zhao Bao and have the same treatment as Zhao She and Lian Po!
When it comes to Qin State, Wang Ji knew very well that he might not even be a monarch, let alone a monarch.
Wang Ji subconsciously licked his lips. At this moment, the prefect of Hedong County suddenly felt a thirsty mouth.
Temptation is really too tempting!
Zheng Zhu's words sounded again, and a devilish voice whispered in Wang Ji's ear: "Minister, I'm not waiting for you! At this moment, Ruoruo waited until General Lian Po led his army to face the verge of the army, and then there would be no treatment at this moment."
The moment this sentence fell, the string in Wang Ji's heart finally broke completely.
Wang Ji took a deep breath, and when he looked up again, a firm look appeared on his face.
"Okay, please tell the King of Zhao that my king has surrendered!"
When Zheng Zhu heard Wang Ji's words, he was immediately overjoyed. He bowed to Wang Ji again and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, then I and the county magistrate will be ministers in the future. Please take care of me in the future."
Wang Ji's eyes were so smirking that he was still polite. The joy inside was beyond words: "Where is where, you are polite, you are polite!"
The two looked at each other and laughed.
After a moment, the laughter gradually stopped and the expressions on the faces of the two gradually became serious.
Zheng Zhu coughed and said, "Although the county magistrate has agreed, the matter of Hedong County surrendering Zhao still needs to be carefully considered, and no news should be revealed."
Wang Ji nodded in agreement and said to Zheng Zhu: "To be honest, there is indeed a difficult thing right now. The Qin general Meng Ao was ordered to come to Anyi and secretly train the county soldiers to defend against the Three Jin coalition forces to attack Hedong. Now Meng Ao has 80,000 county soldiers in his hands. If this person is not eliminated, it may be difficult to do anything."
Zheng Zhu showed a look of surprise on his face: "What happened?"
After pondering for a while, Zheng Zhu said to Wang Ji: "Since that's the case, I have to write a letter to Handan to see how the king decides."
Wang Ji nodded, and then said with some concern: "Is there any shortage of time this time?"
Zheng Zhu smiled confidently and said, "Judges should be assured. By the way, since there is such an unexpected thing, I would not say that I would bother the county magistrate's mansion for a few days."
Wang Ji smiled and said, "This is a small matter that you must have a grievance and great deal in the past few days and cannot be noticed by the spies of Qin."
···
After the two of them finished their plan, Wang Ji called his confidant housekeeper. After giving instructions, the confidant housekeeper quietly left with Zheng Zhu and headed towards a secret building in the backyard of the county magistrate's mansion.
