Chapter 76
"Foreign minister Wang Ao meets the king." Wang Ao saluted the King of Qi.
The King of Qi said coldly: "Sir, please get up." Thinking that Qi State was about to send troops, Qi and Qin had no longer had a relationship for decades, it was reasonable to be more indifferent to Wang Ao.
Wang Ao heard the King of Qi’s thoughts and said calmly: “Thank you, the King.” He stood up.
King Jian of Qi was not sure whether he could defeat Qin this time. The reason why he sent troops was only because Gongsun Bian's words of cold teeth touched him. Wang Ao came and tried Qin's intentions and asked, "Sir, what's the point of doing?"
Regarding the thoughts of King Qi, Wang Ao was as clear as a mirror and said ambiguously: "Other ministers came to Qi State on orders by my king to do two things."
The King of Qi wanted to know too much, and immediately asked, "What two things?"
Wang Ao continued: "Friendship with Qi State."
It was much better than expected. King Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Qi State has had good friendships with the Qin Dynasty for decades. Since I ascended the throne, I have pursued the national policy of my ancestors and dared not change it. What about the second one?"
Wang Ao said in a shocking way: "Look at Qi State and prepare to destroy Qi."
"You...what were you saying? Qin wants to destroy my Qi?" King Jian of Qi jumped up from the throne in shock, pointed at Wang Aoyu incoherently, with a look of horror.
This was so shocking that Hou Sheng was so shocked that he couldn't stop and looked at Wang Ao in surprise.
Wang Ao continued, "Please allow the king to finish his words. Whether the Qin Dynasty is good at Qi or destroy Qi, this is not with my Qin, but with the King.
The King of Qin said that if Qi really wants to be a good friend to us, Qi and Qin will be a brotherly country and will be in harmony forever. If Qi intends to be an enemy.
That's Qi's unrighteousness to the Qin Dynasty, not that Qin is ruthless, and Qin has nothing to be polite. Just destroy Qi."
King Qi covered his pounding chest with his right hand, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Mr. Wang, you are so scary... No, no, your mouth is like this. Good things will become bad things in your mouth.
"As soon as he said that, he realized something was wrong, he changed his words and explained the ridicule.
Wang Ao smiled and said, "Master, the foreign ministers are not so capable. Even if they want to turn the world back, they have no eloquence. If they can get the promise of the king, Wang Ao will feel relieved." He took out the gift list from his arms and said, "Master.
The foreign ministers came to the King of Qin to give the king some little thoughts, reaffirm the friendship between Qin and Qi, and asked the king to accept it with a smile.
The King of Qin publicly said that he did not love his children of gold and silk, and he loved the country, and he did what he said. The gift to King Qi was very heavy. After a brief look, the King of Qi immediately smiled and said, "The King of Qin was wrongly in love.
I had to accept such a heavy gift, and I also asked Mr. Wang to tell the King of Qin that Qi and Qin Yong would be brothers."
Wang Ao pretended to be relieved and said excitedly: "Please rest assured, the foreign minister must tell the king's intentions to the King of Qin. The King of Qin has another gift of a hundred times more generous than this. "
The gift on the gift list was already heavy enough, a hundred times more generous than this. That was great, the King of Qi's eyes shone brightly and asked, "What kind of treasure is it? The night pearl of the world, or the peerless beauty?"
A king actually cared about treasures and acted like a rich man. Wang Ao sighed in his heart and replied: "Return to the king. This gift is not a pearl. Not a beauty.
"The King of Qi's face was a little disappointed, and Wang Ao continued, "As long as the king owns this thing, the pearl beauties and treasures are all filled with the harem."
The King of Qi suddenly felt energetic and asked, "Is it a treasure pot?"
"The king is the wise man!" This is obviously impossible, but Wang Ao flattered and said, "The king of Qin wants to give it to the king is Qianli Zhaodi.
The king knew that the people in Zhao were strong and fertile, and they were not under Qi. If they could fight and cultivate the land, they were actually a rare treasure pot in the world.
When Qi wanted to help Zhao resist Qin, he could not get the land of Zhao. The King of Qi could not help but lose some interest and said lightly: "Good, good, but your Qin is using a large number of troops against Zhao. If we don't send out a single army or a soldier, we will have no effort. How can we get a thousand miles of Zhao?
”
"The king's words are inaccurate.
"Wang Ao vetoed: "Ten thousand Qi soldiers are following the King of Qin to destroy Zhao, why did the king of Qin have no say of sending troops?" The ten thousand Qi soldiers were used to destroy Wei for the King of Qin. Destroying Wei is fake, and destroying Zhao is real, so naturally they have to be transferred to Zhao State.
The King of Qi felt aroused, and he wanted to test it. Wang Ao continued to say: "The 100,000 Yan troops were led by Ju Xin and entered Zhao territory, echoing the Qin Dynasty. Wei Ang led 30,000 Wei troops into Zhao territory and followed the king to fight.
Qi State only sent 10,000 troops, which is too small. In the future, rewards on merits may be detrimental to Qi."
After Wei Ang killed Zhao Cong, he received the order of King Wei on the Naihe Bridge, asking him to lead his army into Zhao and work with the Qin army to destroy Zhao.
The situation suddenly changed, beyond his expectations, and I realized that he and Zhao Cong were both pitiful people. After calculating the smart King of Qin, how could he not be so angry that he swallowed blood? This was arranged by the King of Qin. He sent an envoy to Daliang to pass on a sentence, but the King of Wei dared not disobey.
The King of Qi was a little more active and asked tentatively: "Sir, how should the King of Qin reward merits?"
This question is not easy to answer. It is somewhat difficult for others, but not at all for Wang Ao. He said very skillfully: "Since ancient times, those who have great merits have naturally received more rewards, and those who have less merits have received less.
The king only sent 10,000 troops. Although Qi soldiers were good at fighting, they were not many, and their merits were limited. Wang Ao guessed that he would forgive him for his crimes. "The Qi soldiers were good at fighting and were not allowed to be honest.
Hou Sheng took over the conversation and said, "Master, if our Qi State adds troops to help the war, the merits will be great, and there will be more land. Please consider the king."
"Mr. Xie is kind, please tell the King of Qin that I appreciate the kindness of the King of Qin." The King of Qi thought that the army was about to set out to help Zhao, so how could he accomplish such a beautiful thing? He politely declined.
Wang Ao was not surprised at all, and went straight to the point and said, "Is the king who is about to set out to help Zhao fight against Qin?"
This is a very secret matter. Wang Ao actually knew it. King Qi was very surprised and refused to admit it, "Sir, I heard it by mistake. How could I do something like this? Qin Qi has a good relationship. How could I do something to do to the Qin Dynasty?"
Wang Ao laughed and said, "Your Majesty. Wang Ao already knows what happened in Qi State. May I ask, after two incense sticks, will the army set off?"
Even knowing this, you don’t have to think about it and know that Wang Ao is right in the hands of the hand. King Qi admitted in a straightforward manner: “This is the case. Qin destroyed Zhao and became stronger. Hundreds of thousands of troops were approaching, so our Qi State had to prepare. If Qin State retreated.
After releasing King Zhao and giving him land to Zhao, Qi is willing to be brothers with Qin."
This sentence is full of kingly aura. Wang Ao nodded secretly and said with a smile: "Master, please allow the foreign minister to tell the king a strange thing."
Anyway, he had already shown up and there was nothing to be afraid of. King Qi said readily: "Please speak."
Wang Ao began to say something strange. He said: "There is a kind of chestnut born in Shu where the Manchus are born, and most of them are eaten with it. But the way to eat this chestnut is a bit special, and it must be cooked and tasted delicious.
The primordials often make a fire, throw the chestnuts into the fire, and then grab them with your hands after they are cooked. The result is that the chestnuts are not obtained. The hand burns the burnt bubbles, which cannot be considered painful.
"The king's move is to capture the fire of Zhao State. Foreign ministers are worried that the king will cause the fire to burn himself. Qi State will be destroyed because of this."
The King of Qi asked, "Even if Qi does not send troops to help Zhao, will Qin let Qi go?"
The Qi State would be destroyed whether it was sent troops or not. This matter had been decided long ago, but Wang Ao vetoed it and said, "Why did the king say this? Foreign ministers boldly speculated that Qin State added troops to Zhao, but the king thought that the disaster would be caused to him, but it was actually a mistake.
The reason why the Qin Dynasty destroyed Zhao was not because of the city, land, gold, silver and treasures of Zhao State, but for revenge.
"First, King Zhaoxiang made a fifteen-city city to make a vane, and he had to say that he humiliated Lin Xiangru and attacked the slaughter in public. Furthermore, King Zhaoxiang's defeat of 500,000 troops was a great humiliation, and he always wanted to take revenge, but he could not realize his life. King Zhaoxiang's last order.
Only the Avengers are the real King of Qin. The king is determined to set up a large army to avenge King Zhaoxiang. Fortunately, thanks to the favor of heaven, he achieved great success. As for the destruction of Zhao.
The king knew the land. When King Zhaoxiang had such ambitions, the king now went on a war on behalf of his ancestors and achieved this great cause.
"Qi and Qin have been in good terms for decades, and brotherly friendship has long existed. Why should Qi lose to Qin? Why should Qin send troops to destroy Qi? The king is too worried."
The world knows that King Zhaoxiang’s defeat was defeated. It is not impossible to seek revenge from future generations, but very likely. King Qi was inevitably a little bit alive and said, “Is this really the case?”
Wang Ao said firmly: "It's true!"
"This Gongsun Bian is really a mess!" King Qi muttered.
Wang Ao knew that the opportunity had come, and as long as he gave another remark, he would be successful, and said, "Your Majesty, the foreign minister dared to borrow the map and use it.
"The King of Qi waved his hand, and the eunuch brought the map. Wang Ao opened it and pointed to the map and said, "Please see, Qi is rich and a country of thousands of miles away. If it is managed properly, what is the point of winning the Central Plains? Back then, King Zhaoxiang and Qi made an appointment with him to be emperor. Isn't this the case?"
After the opening remarks, he went straight to the point and said, "The king, the foreign ministers are talking about power, only the interests.
The king knew that even if Zhao was intact, he was not a rival to the Qin Dynasty. Moreover, the Zhao State is only left with Li Mu's troops, only such a small area, and even half of the country is not considered a country. How unwise is the king to send troops at this time?"
The King of Qi humbly saved the church and said, "Please tell me clearly, where am I ignorant?"
Wang Ao responded and continued: "If Qi wants to conquer the Central Plains, he should take advantage of the intact Zhao State to join forces with Zhao State to fight against Qin. Foreign ministers say heartfelt words, the number of winners and losses is unknown.
It's different now. Zhao State is about to be destroyed. It's too late to send troops at this time. At most, it's just to cause some small trouble for the Qin Dynasty and let Zhao State survive for a while.
For Qi, there will be two harms. One is to waste the people and money, to exhaust the troops and make futile actions; the other is to cultivate resentment against the powerful Qin. When the Qin King was angry, he used a million victorious troops and drove straight into Linzi, and then Qi was over!"
The King of Qi said in shock: "Sir, I misunderstood. How could I make a complaint about Qin?"
Wang Ao ignored it and said, "In view of the foreign ministers, instead of exhausting the people and hurting money to get the fire of Zhao, the king would rather work with the Qin to destroy Zhao together. When the Qin king was rewarded by merit, he could seek merit and obtain a thousand miles of Zhao. Isn't that beautiful?"
The King of Qi thought for a moment and said, "What Mr. said is very reasonable. However, Li Mu used military force and there were few opponents in the world. With him, the number of winners and losses was still unpredictable."
Wang Ao laughed and said, "Li Mu is good at using troops, but he is not an undefeated general. On the way to Qi, the foreign minister received the letter from the king. Sima Shang's entire army was wiped out, and Li Mu was defeated under General Wang Jian. If he hadn't run fast, he would have captured General Wang Jian alive.
"This kind of news must naturally be reported to Wang Ao, an extremely important messenger.
The news was so amazing. The King of Qi didn't believe it and blurted out: "Is this really the case?"
Wang Ao did not answer the question, and then said, "This army is Li Mu's old foundation and the most elite military soldier in Zhao State.
The king knew that there were many Hu people who were in the world who were riding horses and bent on him. The skills of riding and shooting were unparalleled in the world. They could live on the horse's back for a lifetime, but they were defeated by General Wang Jian. Just because of the remaining defeated generals in Li Mu's hands, what kind of storm can he cause?
"Besides, destroying Zhao is not the power of the Great Qin, but the achievements of the four kingdoms of Qin, Wei, Yan and Qi. If the king assisted Zhao, he would be resentful to the three kingdoms of Qin, Wei, Yan and Yan. The incident of Le Yi's attack on Qi back then was not unavailable.
"Does the king know why Yan State is so active in attacking Zhao? The king of Yan has already said that he would rather not have an inch of Zhao's land than Qi's land.
Yan Qi had a feud, and Qi first destroyed Yan, and then Yan Zhaowang ordered Le Yi to attack Qi. The two countries suffered a series of disasters for decades, but when Le Yi succeeded, Tian Dan was destroyed. The King of Yan still remembered this and wanted to destroy Qi at all times.
"If the king does not destroy Zhao with the Three Kingdoms, then foreign ministers will boldly speculate that the next three countries will deal with Qi, the Qin Dynasty will attack the east, the Yan army will attack the north, and the Wei army will attack the south. Even though Qi is large, it will be destroyed in a blink of an eye.
"Foreign ministers are the king's plan. Instead of being enemies with the three kingdoms, it is better to destroy Zhao State with the Three Kingdoms, and obtain a thousand miles of Zhao State. The foreign ministers say this, please make a decision."
The analysis was too thorough. As long as it was not a pig, it knew that what Wang Ao said was too reasonable. It was much more cost-effective than helping Zhao. King Qi blurted out: "Okay! But the army has already come to the road and can't change it even if it needs to be changed. It's a pity that this thousand miles of land."
Wang Ao smiled and said, "Please rest assured, this is not difficult. It is better to have the preaching, so as not to spend time on the arrangement in the future.
"Mursing in the ear of the King of Qi, the King of Qi was overjoyed and said, "Uncle, hurry up, draw an order!" Regardless of the identity of the king, he hugged Wang Ao, patted him on his back twice, laughed, and said, "Sun Bin surrounded Wei and saved Zhao, but did not cover a single inch of land for our Qi State. The gentleman said, "Sun Bin only talked about the land of our Qi State for thousands of miles. The gentleman is my Sun Bin! No, he is more intelligent than Sun Bin. Let's go, Mr. Wang, go drink with me.
