106, return to Zhao State(2/2)
One is the talented person of the prime minister, and the other is the most outstanding thinker who has led the ruling thought of China for more than two thousand years and is the most outstanding thinker in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
This is the chess piece Li Jian needs.
It doesn’t matter whether Xunzi comes or not. The trouble that doesn’t come is that recruiting Li Si and Han Fei may become more cumbersome.
Tian Dan sighed when he heard this and said:
"Xunzi is from Zhao after all, so I hope he can return to his roots after falling leaves."
Compared with Li Jian, Tian Dan obviously pays more attention to Xunzi.
While the two of them were talking, a report came from outside.
"June, some people claim to be the disciple of Jiu Xunzi, the high priest of Jixia Academy, and want to ask for a meeting."
Tian Dan was happy and immediately raised his tone:
"Hurry, let them come!"
When Li Jian saw Li Si and Han Fei, he also had a smile on his face.
Although Xunzi did not directly follow the mission due to his identity, he still had to lay some preparations for his return to Zhao State.
Li Si and Han Fei saluted:
"I have met Du Pingjun, Doctor Li."
This courtesy surprised Li Jian a little.
Li Si took out a letter and handed it to Tian Dan.
"This is my mentor's handwritten letter, please read it."
Tian Dan looked at the letter in his hand and his expression began to become brighter.
"Doctor Li Jian, please look at Xunzi's letter."
Li Jian took the letter and glanced at him.
It's basically just a kind of polite nonsense, and only two points are mentioned throughout the article.
First, Xunqiu really wanted to return to Zhao State, but the time has not come.
Second, to show sincerity, Xunqiu sent two of his outstanding disciples, Li Si and Han Fei, to Zhao State as officials, and asked Du Pingjun to make proper arrangements.
A smile appeared on Li Jian's face:
"Xunzi is indeed worthy of the pride of our Zhao people. At the critical moment, he still looks up to the Great Zhao."
"Two, welcome to Zhao State. In the future, everyone will be officials in the court. Please take care of me."
Faced with Li Jian's friendly words, Li Si and Han Fei had different expressions.
Li Si nodded just a symbolic nod, while Han Fei made a surprising request.
"I wonder if there are any vacancy in the Office of Dr. Li Jian's Handan Order?"
"If possible, Han Fei hopes to enter the Handan Order Office to become an official."
Li Jian was stunned for a moment, then smiled:
"Of course there is, Handan welcomes you."
Compared with Han Fei, Li Si's choice seems more concise.
At the invitation of Tian Dan, Li Si joined Tian Dan's Dupingjun Mansion and became a staff member of Tian Dan.
Tian Dan also promised to arrange a suitable official position for Li Si in the Xiangbang official office.
After the arrangement was completed, the four of them looked at each other and smiled.
The Qin envoy Zheng Anping couldn't laugh.
Looking at Hou Sheng in front of him, Zheng Anping was almost roaring.
"Houqing, didn't you tell me confidently before that, can this time be done?"
"So now you actually told me that Qi State continues to choose to form an alliance with Zhao State?"
Hou Sheng had a smile on his fat face, and he didn't seem to mind Zheng Anping's anger very much.
"Doctor Zheng is a little calmer, don't be so angry."
"I haven't told you before that this time the matter is not easy to handle and may not be able to be done."
"It's not done now, can I give you a refund?"
Gongsun Cao, the envoy of Yan State, pondered for a moment, and suddenly spoke:
"The gifts have been given to Houqing, so there is no reason to return them."
"I just want to ask Houqing a question. Qi and Zhao continue to maintain an alliance. Will there be any war next?"
Hou Sheng exclaimed and said to Gongsun Cao with a smile:
"Mr. Gongsun is indeed wise. I'm going to tell Mr. Gongsun that after the Qi and Zhao alliance, the first person to fight is your Yan State!"
...
This news was sent to Jidu and Xianyang City as fast as possible.
After hearing the news, the shock in his heart was revealed directly on his face.
"Qi and Zhao want to go to war against me? Are they crazy? How dare they do this?"
Listening to the roar of King Yan, the important officials of Yan State in the hall chose to remain silent.
Chang Guojun was quite helpless in his heart.
Originally, the Yanzhao Alliance was fine, and the king insisted on causing trouble. Now the retribution is coming?
This kind of idea is not what a minister should say, solving problems is what a minister should do.
Lejian stood up and said:
"You have to report to the king that the only way to do this is to quickly reorganize your army and prepare for war, and then let the Qin side prepare for sending troops to support him."
When the King of Yan heard this, he nodded as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.
"Yes, yes, there is also the Qin army. I don't believe it anymore. Can the Qin and Yan coalition forces still defeat him? The Qi and Zhao alliance will not be able to defeat him!"
"This time, I must fight to Linzi and Handan, so that King Qi and King Zhao know what it means to underestimate the outcome of my country and Yan!"
In Xianyang City, the King of Qin's expression was quite calm.
"Can you even get such a simple thing done by Zheng Anping?"
"Yes, Zheng Anping is yours, how do you explain it to me?"
The Qin King's eyes were extremely oppressive, and they were projected on Fan Sui, which made the Qin Prime Minister feel breathless.
After all, Fan Sui was also a person who had seen the world, so he hurriedly spoke:
"Although Zheng Anping failed, in my opinion, this is actually an opportunity for the Qin Dynasty."
The King of Qin snorted and said:
"Then what kind of opportunity do you have to talk to me?"
Fan Sui said:
"If Qi and Zhao attack Yan State, then Qin will attack South Korea."
"With Korea's national strength, without the help of other countries, it is no problem for the Qin Dynasty to destroy South Korea."
The King of Qin pondered for a moment and said:
"What if Qi and Zhao gave up their attack on Yan and instead supported South Korea?"
Fan Sui smiled and said:
"At first, we can attack South Korea while Qi and Zhao entered the core area of Yan. At that time, the Qi and Zhao coalition might not be willing to give up the close victory."
"Secondly, even if the Qi and Zhao coalition forces are really willing to give up victory and return to the rescue, the Qin Dynasty has successfully achieved the goal of saving Yan State. Yan State will definitely be more loyal to the king in the future."
"No matter how you look at it, Daqin will definitely win or lose. Please give it a clarity."
Listening to Fan Sui's words, King Qin's expression gradually improved.
"Very good. Having said that, Zheng Anping is indeed a waste. Send him to the army as a general. Don't be embarrassed to be an envoy in the future."
Fan Sui hurriedly said:
"I thank the king for his grace."
After the King of Qin said, he frowned again:
"Next time, I must make people pay good attention to this Li Jian. Before, he was just causing trouble in Zhao. Now he can affect the situation in the world, which is really a problem."
