System: I let you have children, not fight for hegemony

Chapter 36 Infiltration

After Cai Ze arrived in Handan, he partnered with Hu Feizi and penetrated all aspects of Handan.

It is no exaggeration to say that unless only two people know a secret, if a third person knows it, it is not a secret to Cai Ze and others.

Cai Ze deserves a lot of credit for being able to achieve such significant results despite limited funds.

"In recent days, many scholars have appeared in Handan, gathering together to discuss the matter of jointly resisting the Qin Dynasty." Hu Feizi got a glass of rice wine for Cai Ze.

Recently, expenses have been high and funds are tight. A bucket of rice wine costs 50 yuan, and Hu Feizi can only have a drink when entertaining guests.

Cai Ze looks vulgar, but is extremely smart: "Do you want to solve this matter?"

Hu Feizi swung the wine pot, but there was very little wine, so he put down the wine spoon: "It's not difficult to solve this matter, just divide it up with money. The difficulty is that there is no money."

If the Mohist family is still one, why worry about lack of money?Unfortunately, Qin Mo, the richest man, remained silent about Juzi.

Cai Ze smiled obscenely and said: "Why spend our money? With the situation between the two countries at this point, isn't the King of Qin most afraid of the alliance of the six countries? That should be his concern."

Hu Feizi's eyes lit up: "Tell Lou Huan about this!"

“Let’s add more fuel and vinegar!”

Cai Ze and Hu Feizi looked at each other and laughed.

Sure enough, when King Qin learned about this, he was very anxious and summoned Fan Sui quickly.

Unexpectedly, before Fan Sui arrived, Lou Huan's second secret letter arrived first.

The letter said that there was a man named Cai Ze who was eloquent and wise. He had a plan that could solve his worries and only cost a few thousand gold.

When Fan Sui arrived, he looked over the plan and felt sympathetic: "It is consistent with what I thought. Your Majesty, this can be done."

The King of Qin ordered someone to bring a thousand pieces of gold to Cai Ze: "You can record it and don't interfere. When you come back, report Cai Ze's every move to me."

Cai Ze, who had received a thousand pieces of gold, held a banquet in Handan City. The theme was to discuss the policy towards Qin. All the scholars who attended the banquet received large sums of money.

As a result, the scholars who were close to the Qin State reaped huge rewards.The scholars who insisted on joining forces to resist Qin did not get a penny.

In this way, the banquet was held several times. In the middle of the banquet, Cai Ze used the lack of funds to get another thousand pieces of gold from the King of Qin.

In addition, Hu Feizi sent people to stir up trouble among the scholars, which caused the scholars to divide into several factions and even fight with each other.

At this point, the matter of the scholars uniting to resist Qin was left to nothing.

King Qin laughed with satisfaction: "Cai Ze is a great talent!"

Fan Sui on the side felt a sense of crisis and said hurriedly: "Cai Ze is the customer of many fishes."

King Qin's smile faded slightly, and he was unhappy with the many fish that often appeared in his ears.

Hu Feizi, who was celebrating the occasion, didn't know that he obviously wanted to help Nujun gain impression points in front of the King of Qin and earn some money on the way.

As a result, the funds were not reduced, but the female queen's impression score became negative.

Cai Ze also nodded with satisfaction. After this incident, he not only completed the task assigned by the queen, but also left his name in front of King Qin.Even if the female monarch fails to succeed in the future, she can still make a living in Qin by relying on her good impression in front of the King of Qin.

A few days later, many fish received letters from the Mo family with mixed feelings.

Because they are too poor, their subordinates actively engage in trouble to steal the future boss's money. Many fish are both proud and guilty.

Many Fish went to Xun Shuang who was doing the accounting: "Shuang, how much more money can we get out?"

Xun Shuang raised his head, with black eyes: "Now is the time when the economy is in decline. Save it for future use. We can spend at most a hundred gold."

"It's so poor..."

Xun Shuang buried his head and continued to take stock: "If the stall was not so big, or if we were more ruthless, we could not be poor."

Many fish knelt down and sat opposite Xun Shuang: "Do you have any complaints?" Whenever there is an external attack, the strings will be broken, hurting others and hurting yourself."

Many Fish decided to be frank with Xun Shuang: "I judge that this war will be a national war, like a winch, winching more than half of the young people of the two countries into it. War consumes most food and grass, coupled with no one to cultivate, famine So close."

"Female Queen, your speculation is too unbelievable. It is impossible for Qin to have the determination to destroy Zhao! Among the six countries, Zhao is the strongest. How can Qin go to war with Zhao and let the other five countries reap the benefits?"

Many fish reluctantly smiled and said, "Be prepared."

"You are the master, you have the final say."

Duo Yu and Xun Shuang reached a tacit agreement and did not continue to argue.Xun Shuang's view is the general view of Zhao State.

From the king to the common people, everyone in Zhao believed that it was impossible for Qin to attack Zhao with all its strength.

Even Zhao Sheng and Yu Qing, who were staunch anti-Qin factions, thought so.

-

In April of the same year, Wang Lu launched an attack on the Zhao army in Changping. King Zhao Xiaocheng ordered Lian Po to fight, and Lian Po led his army to attack the Qin army.

The Zhao army wounded the Qin army's scouts, and the Qin army's scouts killed Zhao's general Qie.

In the palace of King Zhao far away in Handan, the servants held their breath and lowered their heads.

King Zhao sat on the throne and saw that the ministers were talking about it.

Lou Chang: "We lost the first battle and General Pi was killed in front of the battle. It can be seen that Zhao's army is not as strong as Qin. Now the best policy is to send important officials to seek peace as soon as possible."

Yu Qing bluntly objected: "Qin has the upper hand and its desire to go to war with Zhao is as strong as a rock. How can it agree to sue for peace?"

King Zhao was young and vigorous, and had a record of defeating the Qin army during his reign, so he proposed: "I want to personally lead the troops to fight the Qin army."

"No! A gentleman doesn't stand behind a dangerous wall!" How dare Lou Chang let King Zhao go on an expedition?
Yu Qing: "Qin is determined to attack Zhao, and peace talks are difficult to achieve. It is better to send envoys with treasures to Chu and Wei to make Qin fear that all countries will join forces to resist Qin. Only in this way can peace talks be successful."

King Zhao could not make a decision for a long time. Lou Chang and Yu Qing both wanted to sue for peace. Lou Chang insisted on asking for peace directly from Qin to show his sincerity.

Yu Qing believed that he wanted to create the illusion that the six countries were united and then seek peace.

That night, despite the warm fragrance and jade in Zhao Wang's arms, he still couldn't sleep.

"Your Majesty, why are you anxious?" the beloved concubine asked warmly.

King Zhao pondered for a moment and then asked: "If you have done something wrong and want to apologize to your friend. Will you apologize directly, or will you bring someone who your close friend is afraid of to apologize?"

The beloved concubine blinked in confusion: "Isn't that coercion if you take someone with you who is afraid? How can it be an apology?"

King Zhao stood up and left the palace, frowning and summoning the shaman.

The beloved concubine touched the gold bracelet inlaid with precious stones on her wrist. She could exchange two gold bracelets with just a few words, which was a real deal.

The divination results of the shaman also suggest that honesty should be the basis.

The people of Zhao State were unwilling to continue to bear the cost of the war and strongly demanded peace as soon as possible.

"The 20-strong army consumes a lot of money. It has already delayed spring plowing. If we continue to fight and affect the autumn harvest, how will we live?"

"It would be a waste of time to join forces to resist Qin. If Qin wants to make peace, why should we care whether we join forces or not?"

"Zhao is strong and prosperous, how can Qin want to kill everything?"

……

King Zhao decided to send Zheng Zhu to Qin to seek peace.

Yu Qing is in mourning, unable to unite, how will Qin give up the fat in his mouth?
