Qin Shizhi's Confucian junior master

Chapter 423, Ziyou’s plan
  A group of carriages and horses left Handan and were heading north. This team of carriages and horses was Guo Kai's team. At this time, Guo Kai left Handan with Zhao Wangqian's edict.

Guo Kai, who was sitting in the carriage, was extremely agitated at the moment, because the Qin army was now in the south, and his edict asked him to go north. If he suddenly went south, once his and Zhao Wangqian's true purpose was exposed, he would immediately Those who become the target of public criticism will inevitably be pushed out as scapegoats in the end.

Just when Guo Kai was irritable, the carriage suddenly stopped. Guo Kai opened the curtain of the carriage and cursed outside.
  "Who told you to stop? Do you not want to live?"

"Sir, there is someone in front of us blocking our way!" said the guard on the side.

"Who dares to block the way of the truth? Kill him quickly and continue on his way!" Guo Kai said angrily.

As soon as Guo Kai finished speaking, a faint voice sounded.
  "I haven't seen Prime Minister Guo for many days and his temper has become irritable."

Hearing this voice, Guo Kai felt as if he had heard fairy music. His irritable mood suddenly disappeared, replaced by an ecstatic expression, and he jumped down from the carriage without waiting for the help of the guards.

"Sir." The guard wanted to help Guo Kai, but Guo Kai pushed him away.

Guo Kai passed through the guards in front and saw Zi You, whom he thought about day and night. It was Ziyou and the others who blocked Guo Kai's way.

Ziyou, Mo Ya, Bai Feng, Yan Fei, Yan Lingji and Xue Nu stood in the middle of the road one after another. Ziyou looked at Guo Kai with a smile.

Guo Kai ran all the way to Ziyou, saluted and said
  "I haven't seen you for a long time, Lord Taiwei, but Guo Kai is thinking about it day and night, tossing and turning, and can't sleep at night!"

"You're welcome, Mr. Guo. I know Mr. Guo is in trouble now. As a friend, I must help Mr. Guo solve his problems," Ziyou said.

"Yes, we are friends, please come here, Taiwei." Guo Kai said with a smile.

Ziyou nodded and followed Guo Kai to an uninhabited land. After realizing that no one was around, Guo Kai bowed solemnly to Zi You.

"Please, Lord Taiwei, save me!!" Guo Kai said excitedly.

Seeing Guo Kai's appearance, Ziyou quickly helped Guo Kai up and said
  "What are you doing, Mr. Guo? If you have anything to say, just say it directly. Ziyou who can help will definitely help you."

Guo Kai then told Ziyou what Zhao Wangqian said.

"Actually, Kai Kai has long wanted to surrender to the Qin State, but he has never had the chance. Now as long as the Taiwei agrees, Guo Kai will immediately return to Handan and tell the king that the whole country of Zhao will surrender immediately!" Guo Kai said.

Ziyou glanced at Guo Kai and said quietly:

"The thoughts of King Zhao and Prime Minister Guo are good. If King Zhao can surrender the whole country, it would be a benevolent act to save the soldiers of Qin and Zhao from being killed. But has Prime Minister Guo ever thought about it, if King Zhao surrenders? The Kingdom of Zhao is destroyed, who should be blamed for the murder of the Wuling Cavalry family? Lieutenant Wei cannot handle this alone."

"Ah!?" Guo Kai said in surprise. He obviously didn't expect Zi You to say that, but after thinking about it, he knew that what Qin needed was Li Mu and the Wuling cavalry who were good at fighting, not him who everyone shouted Beat up corrupt officials and sycophants.

Looking at Guo Kai who was in a daze, Ziyou laughed and said, "Don't worry too much, Mr. Guo. As I said, Mr. Guo is a friend of Qin. Qin has always valued its friends. Naturally, he will not take Mr. Guo's Life is exchanged for profit."

Listening to Ziyou's words, Guo Kaixin felt even less confident. After being an official for so many years, Guo Kai understood a truth very well. There are no permanent friends, only permanent interests. He knew that now was the time for him to show his interests.

"Guo Kai is not talented. He has accumulated a lot of wealth in Zhao State for many years. If the Taiwei can save Guo Kai, Guo Kai is willing to hand it over to the Taiwei and let the Taiwei transfer it to the King of Qin." Guo Kai said His heart was bleeding when he said this. His family fortune was accumulated over decades, but for the sake of his own life, he could only endure it.

"Prime Minister Guo's family belongs to Prime Minister Guo. It is not the behavior of a gentleman to seek after a friend's wealth." Ziyou shook his head and said.

Hearing what Ziyou said, Guo Kai's heart was immediately poured with cold water. Family wealth was his last trump card. Qin didn't like this, so what else could he like? It was only his life. Using his life in exchange for the loyalty of Wuling Cavalry and Li Mu was indeed more valuable than his family wealth.

After thinking about this, Guo Kai's eyes were full of decadence and despair, and he knew that he was bound to die.

Seeing Guo Kai like this, Ziyou knew that Guo Kai must have misunderstood something, so he said

"Presumably Guo Xiang understands that the Qin State values ​​Li Mu and the Wuling Cavalry more than property. So after the fall of the Zhao State, there is no need for Zi to lobby for what will happen to Guo Xiang, but after all, Guo Xiang is still a friend of the Qin State, Zi You I still have a good impression of Prime Minister Guo. But although Ziyou is the Grand Lieutenant of the Qin State, this Lieutenant is only temporarily held by Ziyou. In this matter, if Ziyou wants to repay Prime Minister Guo, it will inevitably lead to The opposition of the entire court will not be able to save Prime Minister Guo by then. So Ziyou thought of a way, I wonder if Prime Minister Guo is willing to listen?"

When he heard the first half of the words, Guo Kai no longer had any hope in his heart, but when he heard the second half of Ziyou's words, he immediately nodded crazily and said

"Lieutenant, please speak!"

"Go south to the Kingdom of Chu and seek refuge with Lord Changping!" Ziyou said.

"What does this mean, Lieutenant?" Guo Kai asked in confusion.

"When the Zhao Kingdom is destroyed, Prime Minister Guo will inevitably be unable to protect himself. I believe that Prime Minister Guo is not willing to remain anonymous for the rest of his life and hide in the mountains for the rest of his life. The only way for Prime Minister Guo to survive is to make meritorious service to the State of Qin, and the world is divided into seven parts. Qin took the fourth, and Zhao was also in the palm of his hand. The only ones left were Chu and Qi.

Qi State has an alliance with Qin State, and Qin State cannot attack without permission. Only Chu State has always been Qin State's thorn in the side. Changping Lord directly betrayed Qin State and was hated by the king. If Prime Minister Guo goes to Lord Changping, disrupts his court, acts as an internal response to Qin, and makes great contributions to Qin, he will naturally be rewarded by the king, and Prime Minister Guo will definitely be let go. " Ziyou said.

Guo Kai also understood Ziyou's intention, which was to let him go to Lord Changping to die.

"It's not that Kai doesn't dare to go, but the prefect knows Kai's reputation. If he goes to Yingdu, can Lord Changping accept him?" Guo Kai asked doubtfully.

"Of course I have a way to do this. Now that the State of Zhao is destroyed, the next one will be the State of Chu. Lord Changping will not sit still and wait for death. He will gather all the forces he can to resist the State of Qin, and the dignitaries of the destroyed countries are his first priority. Choice, and Prime Minister Guo is the Prime Minister of your Zhao State, and many dignitaries obey your orders. Your family property is probably not much less than the treasury of Zhao State. Faced with such a predicament, do you think Lord Changping will reject you? " Ziyou said.

After Guo Kai thought for a while, he nodded in agreement.

After Ziyou and Guo Kai discussed Guo Kai's mission in detail, they asked Guo Kai to leave with his people.
