My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 801 Bribing, sowing discord and making trouble! With the fate of the country at stake, invite the world to join the game!

Compared with Ying Zheng, Lu Buwei was a complete conservative and moderate.

But people may have forgotten that Lu Buwei’s specialties during his time as a businessman were venture capital and hoarding!
Lu Buwei has a gambling nature in his bones.

However, Lu Buwei's gamble was not made on impulse, but a gamble that he made after careful consideration and careful judgment!
This time, after fully understanding the personalities of King Jia of Dai, King Xi of Yan, and King Jian of Qi, Lu Buwei dragged the entire world into his gambling table!
Han Cang said excitedly: "If the three countries of Dai, Yan, and Qi want to fight against our Great Qin and defeat it, they must at least raise an army of 600,000."

"Now that the fertile lands of Dai and Yan are almost completely lost, Qi must take on the responsibility of providing food and fodder for the troops of the three kingdoms."

"But according to my estimation, if Qi gives us another million dan of grain, then Qi's granary will be almost empty!"

"It would take at least three to four years of farming for the Three Kingdoms to accumulate so much food and fodder."

"Once Marquis Wenxin succeeds in this plan, our Great Qin won't have to worry about the Three Kingdoms' alliance and attacking Qin for at least three to four years!"

"I think this strategy of Marquis Wenxin is very good!"

What made Han Cang most pleased with this strategy was actually the one million shi of grain and grass.

You know, this year the Qin State was once again entangled by the Zhao State, and a large number of young and strong people were unable to go to the fields to sow seeds. It was not until the compensation from the Yan State arrived that the Qin State's urgent needs were alleviated.

If Qi really handed over a million shi of grain and grass, the financial situation of Qin would be much more prosperous!

After Wei Liao pondered for a moment, he also said solemnly: "I think the King of Qi doesn't dare to gamble."

"In this battle, Lord Chang'an has killed so many enemies that the fields are full. The possibility that Dai and Yan will raise troops again in a short period of time is very small."

"The possibility that Qi can resist the elite soldiers of the Qin State with the strength of the State alone is extremely small."

"Although the possibility of my Great Qin sending out troops again at this moment is also very small, the possibility that Chang'an Jun is willing to obey the orders of the court is even smaller!"

"After many considerations, King Qi had no choice but to accept the request of our Great Qin."

"Even if the King of Qi dares to gamble, the officials of Qi will not allow him to gamble!"

After careful consideration, the ministers of the Qin Dynasty agreed with Lu Buwei's advice.

Although Lu Buwei's strategy seemed very risky, it was likely to make the Qin Dynasty, which was already on the brink of collapse, take the final step towards collapse.

Although the King of Qi should know that the current Qin is unable to fight again, he is likely to refuse to obey orders fearlessly so that a coalition of three countries can be quickly formed after Dai and Yan have recovered some of their combat power.

But, the Qin Dynasty still has Ying Chengjiao!

How dare King Jian of Qi use the rational thinking of ordinary people to predict what Ying Chengjiao would do next?
As long as Ying Chengjiao is dragged to the front line, even Ying Zheng will not know when the war between Qin and Qi will start, let alone King Jian of Qi!

Ying Chengjiao weakly argued: "I think this strategy has many omissions."

"After all, it is well known that I always strictly follow the king's orders."

"It's just that the situation on the front line changes so quickly that I have to make decisions on the spot occasionally."

"Except for the first time when I failed to follow the king's order to attack Zhao, I have completed the king's orders every time I went out to fight."

"How could the King of Qi not dare to bet that I will strictly enforce the king's order?"

"Marquis Wenxin's inference is very strange!"

But none of the court officials responded to Ying Chengjiao's words.

Even Ying Chengjiao's tone sounded a little vague when he said this.

Although Ying Chengjiao had a sincere heart to follow orders, the facts did not make his words convincing at all!
After a moment of hesitation, Ying Zheng said in a deep voice: "Marquis Wenxin's strategy is very good!"

"Even if this strategy cannot delay the Qin for too long, it can at least weaken the enemy as much as possible."

"Shangqing Yao Jia!"

"The mission to Qi will be completed by you, my dear minister."

Yao Jia immediately stepped out and bowed: "I will live up to the king's trust!"

Ying Zheng looked at Lü Buwei with some hope and asked, "Does Marquis Wenxin have any other good ideas?"

Lü Buwei bowed again and said, "I advise you again, release King Qian of Zhao!"

Ying Zheng shook his head and said, "I have also thought about releasing the King of Zhao to let him fight with the King of Dai."

"However, the King of Dai abandoned the ancestral temple of the State of Zhao and established the State of Dai. Even if the King of Zhao was released, it would be difficult for him to compete with the King of Dai."

"Moreover, the King of Zhao is the ruler of a fallen country. I'm afraid there are only a few people willing to follow him."

It’s not that Ying Zheng had never thought about releasing King Qian of Zhao.

But King Qian of Zhao's performance from the time he ascended the throne to his surrender was really poor.

The people of Zhao had no choice but to support King Qian of Zhao.

But after King Jia of Dai suddenly appeared, how many loyal ministers of Zhao would be willing to follow King Qian of Zhao?

King Qian of Zhao had no strength to compete with King Jia of Dai, and once he was released, his life would be in danger at any time.

Rather than letting King Qian of Zhao die in Dai State, it is better to keep King Qian of Zhao in hand. Maybe he will be useful someday!

Lü Buwei smiled and shook his head: "I am not going to send the King of Zhao back to Dai, nor am I going to send the King of Zhao back to his former Zhao territory."

"Instead, release the King of Zhao back to Yan!"

Ying Zheng:? ? ?
Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then became excited: "Marquis Wenxin means to use the King of Zhao to stir up a dispute between Yan and Dai?"

Lu Buwei nodded happily: "Your Majesty is wise!"

"If we let the King of Zhao go back to Dai, he might be in danger of losing his life." "But if we let the King of Zhao go to Yan, I think the King of Yan will definitely take good care of him."

"As for how the King of Yan will act in the name of the King of Zhao, and how the King of Dai will treat the King of Zhao, it is not something that the Great Qin can interfere with."

Everyone in the world knows the temperament of Prince Xi of Yan.

With Prince Qian of Zhao in his hand, if Prince Xi of Yan did not use Prince Qian of Zhao's name to cause trouble, he would not be Prince Xi of Yan!
Even if Prince Xi of Yan could refrain from causing trouble, would Prince Jia of Dai dare to cooperate deeply with the State of Yan, knowing that Prince Xi of Yan might use Prince Qian of Zhao to cause trouble?

How should King Jia of Dai face King Qian of Zhao who is in the State of Yan?
Yao Jia suddenly said, "I think we can also send people to Dai to stir up trouble."

"They say that the reason Zhao was destroyed was that the King of Dai betrayed Zhao. The evidence is that the King of Dai quietly escaped from prison and went to Dai County before Zhao was destroyed."

"He also said that the King of Zhao was the legitimate heir enthroned by the Zhou emperor, and that the State of Dai was just a barbaric country without moral integrity, and that only by welcoming back the King of Zhao could the rites and morals be followed."

Ying Chengjiao's eyes showed surprise.

In the Song Dynasty there was Qin Hui and in the Ming Dynasty there was Bao Zong.

Could it be that the State of Zhao will also have a Zhaobao Sect called "Eastern Hunting"?

Wei Zhuang said with some concern: "If we let the King of Zhao go to Yan, the King of Yan will not only be loyal to the State of Dai, but also to the land of Zhao occupied by our Qin."

"If the King of Yan uses the name of the King of Zhao to persuade the people and powerful people in the former Zhao land, or even call on the remnants of the former Zhao to rebel."

"What should my Great Qin do?"

Lü Buwei laughed and said, "Once the King of Yan acts in the name of the King of Zhao, no matter which country's interests the King of Yan is infringing upon, it will be a question of the legitimacy of the Dai Kingdom."

"In this case, it will be difficult for Yan and Dai to form an alliance."

"If Yan and Dai did not form an alliance, how could Yan defeat Qin with its own strength?"

"Moreover, the lands occupied by Dai State are all the former Zhao lands, while the lands of our Great Qin State that once belonged to the former Zhao are only three counties."

"As long as we exercise some control, what Duke Wei is worried about will no longer exist!"

Ying Zheng shouted in a loud voice with urgency in his eyes: "Please come quickly, Marquis Wenxin!"

Facts have proved that Lu Buwei did not waste his time.

During these five years, Lu Buwei was always observing the situation in the world.

And when he got rid of the tedious work of paperwork, Lu Buwei's vision of the world became broader.

Lu Buwei submitted one piece of advice after another.

Although Lu Buwei still serves as Marquis Wenxin in the court, he has unconsciously mobilized the entire court to formulate the overall diplomatic strategy of the Qin Dynasty in the next stage.

Since the strategy of making friends with distant countries and attacking nearby ones is no longer possible, let's just abandon it!
The core idea of ​​Qin's diplomacy in the future is to buy off, alienate, and stir up trouble!

As long as the Three Kingdoms are not at peace, the Qin Dynasty will be at peace!
And when Lu Buwei used one strategy after another to outline his future diplomatic thinking, a guess in Ying Zheng's mind became more and more firm!
After letting the ministers discuss for a long time, Ying Zheng finally looked at Lu Buwei with complicated eyes: "Making friends is a long-term strategy, but stirring up trouble is only a temporary measure."

"I have observed that although all the strategies proposed by Marquis Wenxin are effective, they are not sustainable."

"Does Marquis Wenxin have any plan to maintain our long-term diplomatic relations with the Qin State?"

Lu Buwei also stopped discussing with his ministers, looked at Ying Zheng with some helplessness in his eyes and asked: "Is it necessary?"

Without waiting for Ying Zheng to answer, Lu Buwei shook his head helplessly and said, "No need."

"The king has made his ambitions clear to the world."

"Chang'an Jun even openly declared that Chi Tian is dead, Xuan Tian should be enthroned, and the year is Wu Chen, and the world will be blessed!"

Lu Buwei wished he could travel back to half a month ago, even at the cost of his life, to stop Ying Zheng and Ying Chengjiao!

Giving Ying Zheng and Ying Chengjiao a resentful look, Lu Buwei sighed bitterly: "The Qin Dynasty is now in a situation where it will either advance or perish."

"My Great Qin no longer needs long-term diplomatic relations, but only a dozen years of stability."

"If our Great Qin does not want to follow in the footsteps of Qi, the only way is to unify the world within a dozen years!"

"Not only that, our Great Qin must also ensure that the world is basically stable and the people have no intention of rebelling during the reign of the Great King."

"Otherwise, our Great Qin will perish!"

Lu Buwei's so-called "precarious situation" was never an exaggeration.

But Lu Buwei really believed that the Qin Dynasty had reached a critical moment of life and death!

Even if one of Ying Zheng and Ying Chengjiao did not express the ambition to unify the world, the Qin Dynasty would still have a way out. Lu Buwei would certainly strongly request Ying Zheng and Ying Chengjiao to stage a drama of brothers fighting each other in order to extinguish the fear of the people of the world about the Qin Dynasty unifying the world.

But when the King of Qin and his designated successor simultaneously issued a unified call to the world, what room for maneuver did Lu Buwei have?
there is none left!
The State of Qi had already set an example for the Qin State, which had reached its current situation.

Without unity, the country will perish!

The best outcome is to restore the country after its destruction, and then be regarded as a serious threat by the princes of the world!
Ying Zheng's heart was heavy, and he looked at Lu Buwei with sincerity: "Wen Xin Hou, are you willing to lend a helping hand to me?!"

Seeing the uneasiness hidden in Ying Zheng's eyes, Lu Buwei smiled and said, "Chang'an Jun once told me that the young dragon has already become the overlord of the sky, so why should the old bird bother to scold it!"

Although Lu Buwei did not support Ying Zheng's decision, although Lu Buwei felt that Ying Zheng and Ying Chengjiao were just messing around with the Qin state, although Lu Buwei felt that Ying Zheng was taking an extremely dangerous path!
But when a child resolutely embarks on a dangerous path with no chance of turning back, which elder would have the heart to sit back and watch?

It is dangerous, but can I abandon the king?
Now that things have come to this, I, the Marquis, will accompany the king and bet the life of the Qin Empire, and invite the whole world to take a gamble!
Lü Buwei bowed to Ying Zheng and shouted:

"Since Your Majesty has made up his mind, I am willing to go through fire and water for Your Majesty, without hesitation!"
