Qin State, Xianyang City.

In the hall, the King of Qin looked calm and looked at Fan Sui and said, "When I respond, what are the actions of contacting the princes?"

This was a small-scale core meeting. In addition to the King of Qin, the Prince and Yinghou, there were only five important officials of the Qin State.

Fan Sui said seriously: "Return to the king, based on the reply he has received so far, Han, Wei and Yan have agreed to the request to join forces with the Qin Dynasty to fight against Zhao, but these three countries are obviously quite afraid of Zhao and are not willing to sign an alliance publicly."

The King of Qin frowned and snorted: "A bunch of things without courage! What about Chu and Qi?"

Fan Sui said: "The King of Chu rejected our request, and the King of Qi also refused.

But the reason why the King of Chu refused was probably because the State of Chu wanted to join forces with Zhao to regain Nanjun and Nanyangjun from the Qin Dynasty, while the reason why the King of Qi refused was simply because the King of Qi was unwilling to start another war."

The King of Qin was silent for a moment and said, "The King of Chu is too confident. He really feels that if he takes over Zhao State, he can take Nanjun and Nanyang County from me?

It's simply a delusion!"

After all, it will take twenty years for Qin to capture these two counties.

During the past twenty years, the Qin State has been constantly migrating a large number of prisoners, refugees and criminals to these two counties in order to firmly control the Jianghan Plain and Nanyang Basin where the Chu State relied on to make its fortune in the hands of the Qin State.

Judging from the current situation, the work of Qin State is effective. The taxes paid by Nanjun and Nanyang County rank among the top among the Qin State counties, and only ranked second and third respectively below Guanzhong, which are higher than the southwest and north counties.

Fan Sui said: "The current situation is that if Zhao Chu jointly attacks Daqin, the situation will be more difficult."

The King of Qin thought for a while and said, "What should I do if Yinghou thinks I should do?"

Fan Sui said: "I think the best way is to drag Qi into the water.

There are also deep grudges between Qi and Chu. When the State of Chu took over the civil unrest in Qi, it has not returned it yet. Perhaps this matter can be used to influence the King of Qi."

"Once Qi can start a war against Chu from the east, then the capital of Chu, Chencheng, will be seriously threatened, and Chu will have to use its main forces to deal with Qi and Wei.

In this way, the Qin Dynasty only needs to concentrate on dealing with Zhao.”

The King of Qin thought for a while and said, "Can the Qin Dynasty defeat Zhao State?"

This question undoubtedly sounds quite discouraged, but all the Qin ministers present remained silent.

Who made Zhao have a monster like Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo?

Fan Sui smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not hiding the king. The old minister feels that judging from the current situation, there is not much hope for victory if the Qin Dynasty fights against Zhao alone.

But if there were help from other princes such as South Korea, Wei and Yan, it would be impossible to recreate the result of the Battle of Gaotang."

The King of Qin nodded and said, "It's great, keep going."

Crown Prince Ying Zichu was on the side and wanted to speak but stopped.

The King of Qin noticed this and said to Ying Zichu: "Just say it if you have something to do."

Ying Zichu hurriedly said, "Father, my son and I think that Zhao Guo is now at a high level, and Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo's military talent is known to everyone in the world. It is really not a good time to go to war with Zhao Guo."

The King of Qin sighed and looked at Ying Zichu with some disappointment: "Zi Chu'er, don't you understand yet?

Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo is less than 30 years old now, and his life span is at least twenty or thirty years. Could it be that the Qin Dynasty can only avoid Wu Xinjun and Zhao State within these twenty or thirty years?

Moreover, even if the Qin Dynasty does not deal with Zhao, the State of Zhao will also come to him. Otherwise, why would Wu Xinjun make a covenant with the State of Chu to jointly attack the State of Qin when he was on his mission to Chu?"

As the King of Qin spoke, his face began to become more serious and firm: "Instead of waiting for Zhao to come, it is better to take some actions first!"

Ying Zichu returned to his prince's mansion in depressed mood and found Lu Buwei.

"Mr. Lu, my father refuses to listen to my opinion, what should I do?"

At this time, Ying Zichu had 100% trust in Lu Buwei.

Lu Buwei frowned and thought for a while before saying, "Don't worry, Prince, the king is naturally considering it."

Lu Buwei comforted Ying Zichu, and then when Ying Zichu left, Lu Buwei went to find Mao Sui.

"Mr. Mao Sui, Qin has contacted Wei, Han and Yan, and is planning to bring Qi over and start a war with Zhao and Chu alliance. You can quickly send this information back to Handan to Junhou."

Mao Sui looked at Lu Buwei quietly for a few seconds and said, "Okay."

The news came back to Handan a few days later and appeared on Zhao Kuo's desk.

Zhao Kuo looked at the information and smiled.

"This King of Qin is really decisive..." Zhao Kuo had already made an alliance with the King of Chu more than a year ago, and agreed that everyone would attack Qin together.

But later things had twists and turns. First, the empress dowager denied Zhao Kuo's opinion and insisted on letting Lian Po attack Qi. Next, the battle of Gaotang was defeated, and Zhao Kuo saved the scene in the battle of Lingqiu. This year had passed.

Then, the ginseng incident broke out in Yan State, and Zhao Kuo led another 40,000 cavalry to conquer Yan State and just returned. Another half year has passed.

Zhao Kuo said to himself: "It seems that it is time to make suggestions in the next court discussion and list Qin as a target for conquest next year."

If there is any country that has always been feared by Zhao Kuo, then this country must be Qin.

Even though Zhao Kuo had defeated Qin so many times, Zhao Kuo was still vigilant about Qin.

Thinking of this, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but speak, "Uncle Xu, what's going on with that child of Zhao Ji?"

Since Qin and Zhao have not started a war in the past two years, their relationship is quite good, and Zhao did not want to be "back-stolen" by Qin in the previous war, the Empress Dowager Zhao had already sent away Zhao Ji, the family stranded by Qin's prince Ying Zichu in Handan City, as requested by Qin, and his son.

Xu Li replied respectfully: "According to Junhou's order, on the way back, our people pretended to be robbers and snatched the child away, and now they are raising them in the mansion."

Zhao Kuo nodded and said, "Very good. This child needs to be raised well. He is a little older than Qian'er, right?"

Xu Li said: "I was just four years old, but please don't worry, kids of this age still don't remember anything."

Zhao Kuo smiled casually and said, "Let's do this, just say that he is my cousin, and he is treated equally with Qian'er. Let him grow up with Qian'er and be a playmate."

Xu Li was obviously stunned when he heard this.

The treatment is equivalent to that of Zhao Qian, the eldest son of Wu Xinjun’s mansion, which undoubtedly shows Zhao Kuo’s importance to Ying Zheng, the child.

Could it be that... ten thousand thoughts suddenly emerged in Xu Li's mind, but in the end he just nodded respectfully and said, "Here."

Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "Since he is my lord Tang, he can't call him Ying Zheng from now on, so call him - Zhao Zheng."
