Qin Shi: Beginning as the first emperor's younger brother

Chapter 144
Guo Kai was a little regretful after all he had said.

Because he saw that Ying Yuan's expression was changing quietly, feeling a little uncertain.

Moreover, the emotion revealed by his eyes is simply like putting people in hell.

"I regret it at the beginning, how can I talk to the killing god in front of me with such an attitude?"

He murmured to himself.

Started to become panicky.

After all, the pressure Ying Yuan brought to him made him a little overwhelmed.

His whole body trembled a little, and he shivered like chaff.

In fact, Ying Yuan was just pretending to be so, not really angry.

Because as far as Guo Kai is concerned, it is not enough to make him angry.

"You are quite courageous."

Ying Yuan got up, came to him, looked at him who was sweating with his head bowed, and sneered, "To tell you the truth, Ben Hou didn't agree with this peace talk, after all, what Ben Hou thought in his heart was to make you Zhao Guo was completely eradicated.

If it weren't for the kindness of the king, he didn't want to start a national war, otherwise, do you think that with the strength of your Zhao country, we can really do nothing to our Qin country? "

They were not in a hurry to negotiate peace with Zhao Guo, but actually wanted to see what would happen to Yan Guo.

After all, as early as when Guo Kai did not leave Handan, there were rumors among the people that Yan Guo intended to attack Zhao.

Although Zhao Guo has good relations with Wei and Han, it is also because Zhao, Wei and Han have the same root and branch, but they are different from Qin Yan.

Between these three countries, wars are often waged.

Now that Zhao Guo's vitality is seriously injured, and Qin State has trapped their [-] troops, there must be emptiness inside Zhao Guo at this moment. Prince Dan of Yan has always had ambitions, and he will not give up this opportunity.

Even if it's a rumor, it's nothing but a wave without wind.

Although Zhao State is now capable of defending against Yan State's invasion, it is not afraid of [-], just in case. If it cannot be defended, Yan State is so close to Handan City, it will easily cause civil strife in Zhao State.

Guo Kai was worried about this issue and his own safety, so he didn't want to delay the peace talks indefinitely, and wanted to resolve them as soon as possible.

It would be even better if it could be resolved today.

He didn't want to stay in Qin for a moment.

Guo Kai showed sorrow, and said in a low voice: "Master Hou, please take pity on our Zhao country, let me meet King Qin? This time, I have brought enough sincerity from Zhao country. Seeing the King of Qin, I am afraid that if Handan changes its mind and refuses to negotiate peace, your country will continue to support those [-] soldiers, why bother?"

Yingyuan didn't give him any good looks, "Master Zhao, I think you have misunderstood. From the very beginning, our country of Qin didn't plan to support those 10 people. If your country of Zhao refuses to negotiate peace, this lord will not." Do you mind learning from my great Qin Wu'an Lord Bai Qi.

As for the sincerity you said, you can talk to Ben Hou first. If Ben Hou thinks it is feasible, he may take you to see the king himself. "

Guo Kai thought for a while, and said surprisingly: "In addition to some gold, silver, jade, gold and silver, there are also [-] stones of grain, and eight city gates. What do you think? This is really what our country of Zhao can give. limit."

Hearing this, Ying Yuan was somewhat surprised.

According to historical records, during the Qin and Han Dynasties, Sangong's annual salary was two thousand shi grains.

Of course, this is only limited to food.

One hundred thousand shi of grain is already a terrifying number.

Is it equivalent to Li Si's salary for a hundred years after he became prime minister?
A hundred Lis?

Although the "one stone" of Zhao State is different from that of Qin State, they are not much different.

Thinking of this, Ying Yuan really felt Zhao Guo's sincerity.

One hundred thousand shi, saving food and expenses, is enough to feed an army of 10 people for about two months.

But
Qin State has been supporting Zhao State's [-] armored soldiers for almost a month.

Having said that, Li Si probably never expected that he would become the 'unit of measurement' that Ying Yuan had in mind?
"Master Zhao, these days, the soldiers and generals of your Zhao Kingdom are all in charge of food and clothing. As of today, they have consumed a total of about [-] shi of food. Don't you count this account?"

With sharp eyes, Ying Yuan asked forcefully.

Li Si was stunned, "Master Hou, haven't you already confiscated the [-] shi of Zhao's grain?"

The [-] shi of grain was obtained by Ying Yuan by defeating the Zhao army outside Hangu Pass.

Moreover, when he took advantage of the situation and captured several towns in Wei State, he also collected a lot of grain.

Back and forth, Qin Jun earned a total of [-] shi of grain.

"You also said that it was confiscated by the Marquis."

Ying Yuan said with a blank expression: "You have come from a long way, it's really hard work, go down and rest first, as for the king, I will go and talk about it when I have time. But before that, I hope you can think more about it." , How to make compensation to our Qin State."

After speaking, he waved his hand.

It means that although there are a lot of [-] stones, Qin State wants more.

Guo Kai just wanted to continue to say something, after all, matters about compensation can be discussed.

However, when he heard Ying Yuan's resolute tone again, he froze in place,

"As for the specific compensation issue, it's useless for you to come and talk to Ben Hou. After all, Ben Hou is only in charge of fighting. As for the specific compensation, you still have to go to Li Si. Let's go, Ben Hou is here, so I don't want to stay longer It's Zhao Xiang."

After finishing speaking, he began to show an expression of impatience.

How dare Guo Kai continue to stay here?

He hurried out of Champion Hou's Mansion.

Seeing the scene where the gate of the Hou's Mansion was slowly closing, he shook his head and sighed softly, "It seems that the important task of this family must be provoked by the truth."

Almost when he left the Hou Mansion, Suzaku supported Tian Zhen and sat beside Ying Yuan, and said with a smile, "This Prime Minister of Zhao Guo is not at all what a Prime Minister should be."

Ying Yuan smiled, "In Madam's opinion, what should the real Prime Minister look like?"

Tian Zhen blurted out: "At the very least, you must have a backbone that is not afraid of danger. The Guo Kai I saw just now bowed to you, Lord Marquis."

Ying Yuan seemed to be in deep thought, staring at the several tea sets in front of him, and slowly said: "This is the horror of Guo Kai, if this person is really a person who is purely greedy for money and pleasure, it doesn't matter.

The key point is that when he first came to Xianyang, he wanted to see Brother Wang, which shows that this person still cares about the affairs of his family and country in his heart.

Zhao Wangyan is not an idiot. Since he was appointed as the prime minister of the Zhao country, he must have something extraordinary. A prime minister with a high position and authority, who can bow his knees to people from other countries, must have a plan, and even can do it. Dazhi vowed not to give up on this point.
Do you still think that he is really as ignorant as the rumors say?Look, Li Si has met his opponent this time, Que'er, you have been paying more attention to Yan Guo's movements recently, Ben Hou doesn't believe it, that Yan Dan is really willing to miss the opportunity for nothing. "

If Ying Yuan is replaced by Yan Dan, then he will not hesitate to take this opportunity to send troops to crusade against Zhao State, trying to recover all the lost lands previously occupied by Zhao State.

Back then, Le Cheng almost lost half of the kingdom of Yan, which was defeated.

Now is the time to bring back this shame.

In fact, these days, Yan Dan has been discussing with ministers, and he already has the idea of ​​preparing to enter Zhao.

History has been completely messed up at this moment.

Because in the original history, Zhao State did not attack Hangu, and Qin State did not capture [-] Zhao soldiers.

This series of reactions made the future history even more confusing in Ying Yuan's eyes.

After a discussion between Prince Dan of Yan and King Xi of Yan, they finally decided to pass Chen Bing to the border and planned to attack Zhao Guo.

This time, the former led the army himself, which was really helpless.

In recent years, Yan State has lost many towns.

At the beginning, Ju Xin, the famous general of Yan State, led an army to attack Zhao, but was blocked by Pang Nuan, resulting in the defeat of the army, and at the same time lost Fangcheng and Wu Sui.

Prior to this, Le Cheng, Lian Po and other famous generals of Zhao State also attacked many towns in Yan State.

Even many generals of Yan State had betrayed Yan State and defected to Zhao State.

Including Le Cheng, Le Yi and so on.

What is worth talking about is that Yan has never been short of famous generals.

Like Le Cheng, Le Yi, etc. mentioned above, including Qin Kai, who was honored as Kai Liao No. 1 by later generations, led his army along the Liaoxi Corridor, all the way to the north, retreated a thousand miles to Donghu, and took down the entire Liaoning.

Opening up the territory, beating Donghu hard, and even helping the country of Yan penetrate into the northern part of the Korean peninsula.

A peerless famous general like this, logically speaking, is the protagonist of an era, the proud son of heaven, but even if he is so awesome, his whole life is like cheating, but he has never dared to take half a step in Zhao Guo.

And the chestnut belly behind him, he is not afraid of Zhao Guo

After Zhao Guo experienced the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Changping, he led his army to take the opportunity to attack Zhao. As a result, he was beaten to shame by Lian Po, and finally died in battle.

The Battle of Changping wiped out half of Zhao's vital force. In this way, the famous general of Yan was suppressed by the famous general of Zhao.

Over the years, if Yan Guo came out with a famous general, Zhao Guo must have someone who suppressed the other party.

He has always been oppressed and beaten by Zhao Guo, and there has never been an exception.

As a result, Yan Guo now has no famous generals, so Yan Dan had no choice but to conscript himself.

Zhao Yan, this pair of enemies, is indeed a world feud.

All in all, after Le Yi, every generation of famous generals in Yan State will be suppressed to death by Zhao State.

The fate of the country is like this, alas, everything is fate.
