Handan.

Zhao Dan sat in the side hall, looking at the secret songs in front of him very seriously, and the expression on his face looked a little strange.

After a long time, Zhao Dan raised his head to the man standing respectfully in front of him and said, "Is Mao Sui's actions this time sure? If he is not sure, he will not have to launch it. Now I have many soldiers and a wide range of generals, so I will not be able to win with such a strategy."

As the saying goes, soldiers never get tired of deceit. So if you can win with a strategy, Zhao Dan actually doesn't object to any strategy.

But the problem is that these strategies must not be exposed.

If these strategies are exposed, the image of Zhao Dan and Zhao State in the hearts of the world will be affected, then it will be a bit unworthy of the loss.

There is no doubt that Zhao is indeed a conquerer to other countries, but Zhao Dan hopes that the people of various countries will see a more tolerant and moderate conqueror rather than a tyrannical and unscrupulous conqueror, because that is not conducive to Zhao's winning the hearts of the world.

The human heart is invisible and intangible, but it is another very important factor to quickly integrate the conquered areas into Zhao State.

If it were after the Qin Dynasty in later generations, the people had already had the concept of great unification, so when they were unified again, they would quickly get used to it, and things would not be so difficult.

But after all, Zhao State is going to create a situation that has not been seen in history. It is necessary to make the people of other countries abandon the fact that the country has been united for hundreds or thousands of years and recognize the rule of Zhao State. This is a long way to go.

In such a situation, it is very important to use a good reputation to win over the people.

Moreover, Mao Sui is now one of the ministers under Zhao Dan who is more capable of doing things. If Mao Sui is trapped in Yingdu because of the exposure of this incident, it will obviously be a very, very unworthy thing.

The Hu Yiwei was obviously Mao Sui's confidant. He bowed to Zhao Dan and said, "Please don't worry, the general manager has already said this time. If everything goes well, there is almost no possibility of failure in this matter."

Zhao Dan pondered for a moment and nodded slowly: "Since Mao Sui said so, then I will agree. Remember to repay Mao Sui with a fast horse. Once things succeed, he must withdraw to Handan!"

"Here!" The secret spy Hu Yiwei responded, then bowed and slowly retreated.

Zhao Dan looked at Hu Yiwei's figure and shook his head gently.

Zhao Heng, who was sitting next to him, suddenly spoke: "Father, Mao Sui's plan is too sinister. Why don't his father stop him?"

As the prince, Zhao Heng is now allowed to listen to some things, which is also a kind of teaching by Zhao Dan.

Perhaps it was because of Zhao Dan's deliberate training, or perhaps it was because Zhao Heng's nature was like this. In short, the prince of Zhao did indeed show the style of a benevolent king and received praise from many ministers of Zhao.

Zhao Dan looked at his eldest son and showed a smile on his face: "Heng'er, although Mao Sui's plan is a bit vicious, if it can be successful, it will save the soldiers under my command tens of thousands or even more deaths and injuries. This is why I agree."

Zhao Heng said in confusion: "Father, the Chu State is already dark and weak. Conquering this country really requires such serious casualties?"

Zhao Dan smiled and said nothing.

You should know that the great Qin in history sent out a total of 600,000 troops when it destroyed the Chu State! Didn’t the Chu State look like a weak person at that time?

After all, no matter how weak the State of Chu is, it is also a country with a large land, wealth and a large population. Such a country must not be underestimated. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing if it repeats the mistakes of General Li Xin of Qin in history.

This State of Chu, which could kill the Western Zhou emperor a thousand years ago, could never be underestimated at any time.

Three days later.

Yingdu, Liyuan Mansion.

Li Yuan looked at Mao Sui who suddenly appeared in his study in front of him, and almost moaned: "You... how did you come in?"

Mao Sui smiled slightly, his face looked very calm: "Doctor Li, in my opinion, your residence is actually full of loopholes. If I want, I can take your life at any time."

Li Yuan turned his eyes and snorted softly, saying, "Even if you don't come in, you can still take my life away, so just say it if you have something to do."

Mao Sui smiled and took out a small bottle and placed it in front of Li Yuan: "Doctor, it's time to start our plan."

Li Yuan's body was shocked, staring at the bottle in front of him, and then he said a little sternly: "I really want to do this?"

It can be seen that Li Yuan was obviously very resistant to this decision.

Mao Sui smiled and suddenly sang: "Come here!"

A bloody head was thrown in through the window and rolled into Li Yuan.

There was still blood on the head that had not yet dried up, and the smell of blood was very strong.

Li Yuan's face changed slightly. He recognized who the head was, and he was a housekeeper in Li Yuan's mansion.

"What does General Mao Sui mean?" Li Yuan's questioning was obvious anger, and he was obviously very dissatisfied with Mao Sui's behavior of not being "outsided".

Mao Sui shrugged and said, "If my subordinates had not found out that this person was from Xianyang, I'm afraid that today would be the time when Dr. Li's family died of poisoning."

"What?" Li Yuan was stunned when he heard this, and then suddenly remembered, isn't this housekeeper responsible for food procurement and cooking in the kitchen?

Li Yuan's face quickly turned pale: "This, is this killing person trying to poison the food?"

Mao Sui smiled and said, "That's natural. Did Doctor Li think that Hou was so relieved to put Doctor Li alone in Yingdu and ignore him? Once the doctor's betrayal was discovered, it would be inevitable to clean up the door."

Li Yuan snorted heavily, and then said with some concern: "Even if you find one, how can you ensure that there is no other person sent to monitor me?"

Mao Sui said seriously: "I can't guarantee this, so in my opinion, Dr. Li still finds a way to complete my mission quickly, and then everything will be no problem."

Li Yuan was silent for a while and said, "Mr. Mao, you are going to force me to a dead end."

Mao Sui smiled and said, "Doctor Li's words are bad. As long as this matter is done, Doctor Li will not have to be pinned by Huang Xie from now on, which is a good thing for the State of Chu and Doctor Li."

Li Yuan yelled, finally took the tiny bottle in front of him and put it carefully in his arms.
