Chapter 749 Fan Sui's Poison
Two hours ago, the main hall of the Qin Palace in Xianyang.
The King of Qin looked a little excited and smiled at the Qin ministers in front of him, "Everyone, the news just passed back, Zhao Kuo, Wu Xinjun of Zhao Kuo, has been confronting the king of Yan Guochang for more than half a month, and there is still no progress yet!"
If Qin State was asked to select a country he hated the most and the person he hated the most, it would definitely be Zhao State and Zhao Kuo.
It was this country that made Qin fall from its original peak and transform from its original No. 1 power in China to its current second-rate country! So, when he heard the news that Zhao Kuo's war was unfavorable, the King of Qin was so happy.
Not only the King of Qin, but also smiled on his face when other Qin ministers in the hall heard such news.
The prime minister of Qin, Fan Sui, smiled and said, "It's so great. I really hope that the news of Zhao Kuo's defeat came soon!"
Qin's Crown Prince Ying Zichu hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm afraid this is still a bit difficult. It's difficult for a country like Yan to defeat Zhao Kuo or even delay Zhao Kuo?"
Ying Zichu's words were undoubtedly a bit unpleasant, and it immediately made the hall feel cold.
The King of Qin looked at Ying Zichu and suddenly felt a little urge to slap Ying Zichu.
You would say it, right?
Don’t I know that the Yan people have a low chance of winning?
I mocked Zhao Guo for a few words, "It's not okay to be happy for a moment, you're going to come and pour cold water on you?"
He was simply a rebellious son! Ying Zichu seemed to have noticed his mistake, lowered his head and dared not speak again.
Fan Sui's eyes suddenly lit up and he smiled and said, "King, maybe it's time for our Daqin to start taking action."
After Fan Sui finished speaking, Lu Buwei immediately raised his head like a conditioned reflex.
If Lu Buwei is the one who is most vigilant about in Qin State, then this person is definitely Fan Sui.
The reason is actually very simple, because Fan Sui is the smartest and most experienced politician in the Qin political arena.
If Fan Sui had not existed, Lu Buwei thought he would have completely taken over the Qin political arena.
Lu Buwei was very concerned about Fan Sui's every move! The King of Qin looked at Fan Sui curiously, and after a while, he said: "When I was right, I have decided not to go to this muddy water before."
Fan Sui nodded and smiled, "Of course I know about the king's decision, but the old minister is not actually trying to persuade the king to send troops to conquer Zhao, because in the eyes of the old minister, there is no need for this."
When the King of Qin heard this, he became a little curious and said, "Since you don't want to send troops to conquer Zhao, what kind of action are you talking about?"
Fan Sui smiled and said confidently: "Although we can't teach Zhao a lesson, we can still teach Yiqiu a lesson!"
"Yiqiu Kingdom?"
The King of Qin was stunned.
Fan Sui smiled and said, "Yes, it's Yiqu Country.
Since the last time the Yiqu Kingdom was supported by Zhao Kuo to become independent from the Qin Dynasty, it has been quite arrogant in recent years. From time to time, it has to send some cavalry to invade the border of our Qin Dynasty.
The old minister just received a report not long ago that about three to four thousand Yiqu cavalrymen raided several counties in the northern part of Guanzhong, Daqin.
Please think, since our land in Daqin has been plagued, then it is natural that our Daqin gathers troops to repel the Yiqu invaders. No one can find fault, right?"
The King of Qin clearly understood what Fan Sui meant, but still couldn't help but speak, "But even so, what does it have to do with Zhao State?"
Fan Sui's smile became stronger and stronger: "Of course it's relevant. Please think about it. Why is Yiqiu difficult to deal with in recent years? Is it because the Qin Dynasty cannot defeat Yiqiu?
Of course not! Even if Daqin suffered consecutive defeats, it would not be comparable to a small Yiqu.
The real reason is that every time the Qin Dynasty wanted to clean up Yiqu, there were always people from Zhao who were whispering to stop the Qin Dynasty! So this time, we only need to attack Yiqu and see what Zhao State reacted.
If Zhao chooses to interfere, then we will withdraw our troops immediately and not give Zhao an excuse to start a war with our Qin Dynasty. The troops and materials gathered by Zhao State are wasted on the Qin-Zhao border and cannot go to Yan State to support Zhao Kuo's battle.
If Zhao State does not interfere, it would be even better. The Qin Dynasty might be able to seize the opportunity to destroy the Yiqiu State in one fell swoop, recover the previously lost territory, and make the Qin Dynasty stronger!"
Hearing this, the Crown Prince of Qin, Ying Zichu, couldn't help but say, "You're talking simple, but what if the people of Zhao sent troops to conquer after we destroyed Yiqiu Kingdom?"
Fan Sui laughed out loud: "Crown Prince, Prince, the current international situation is completely different from when the Qin and Zhao went to war.
The Qi State was still a domineering in the east. The capital of Qi State, Linzi, had not been captured yet, and the King of Qi was not captured. The princes of the world felt that even if the Qin Dynasty was defeated, Qi State could still resist Zhao State.
But what about now?
Now everyone knows that there is probably no country in this world that can stand the full attack of Zhao alone! So, if Zhao really comes to attack Yiqu because Yiqu was destroyed by the Qin Dynasty, wouldn’t it be the best opportunity for the Qin Dynasty to join forces with the other five countries to attack Zhao State?"
Fan Sui's words were endless, but they were very reasonable, which made Ying Zichu unable to refute it.
Ying Zichu subconsciously glanced at Lu Buwei, hoping to get some help from Lu Buwei.
Lu Buwei sighed and shook his head gently.
Even Lu Buwei had to admit that from the perspective of Qin, Fan Sui's move was really a vicious plan! As long as Fan Sui's move was implemented, Zhao's large number of troops and resources would inevitably be involved in the Qin-Zhao border, and Zhao Kuo's attack on Yan State would inevitably be greatly affected.
Therefore, as soon as Lu Buwei left the palace and returned to the prince's mansion, he immediately found Mao Sui and began to arrange this poisoning of the Qin King.
As long as the King of Qin can be killed, Qin will naturally end in this operation.
Once the Qin King dies, the Crown Prince Ying Zichu takes office. With the intimate relationship between Lu Buwei and Ying Zichu, it will be too relaxed if Lu Buwei wants to influence the military and political affairs of Qin! When he thinks of this, Lu Buwei seems to be talking to himself, and seems to be extremely firm to say to Mao Sui in front of him: "This time, the King of Qin must die!"
