Chapter 12: Yinghou's clever plan to secure the world

The Qin road is the flattest and widest among all countries, but the countries do not agree with this view, especially the Three Jin Kingdoms. After all, they are barbarian tigers and wolves from the West, and barbarian countries are rude. They just rely on the barbaric and cruelty to maintain a strong army. They have no culture or system. The Qin people live in dire straits. How could Qin have such a broad road?

Even though San Jin covered his eyes and shook his head frantically, shouting: I don’t listen, I don’t listen, I don’t listen, this is a lie! But Zheng Zhu’s feelings are still very profound. There is no way, I get too close, even if I cover my eyes, I can always smell some smell.

The Qin people had not even taken over the entire Shangdang County, but they had already started building the Shangdang. Zheng Zhu walked along the way and saw the Qin people wielding tools to build roads. They wanted to integrate Shangdang into the Qin road system. Zheng Zhu was initially complaining about the cruelty of the Qin king and pitying the Qin people's experiences, but the further he went, the less Zheng Zhu dared to speak.

Zheng Zhu was very scared.

Along the way, the Qin people he saw seemed crazy. Those who built roads in Shangdang County were all the civilians at the bottom of Qin, but there was no trace of complaint on their faces. They had a firm face made of loess, covered with hills and valleys, but they were extremely firm, with confidence in their eyes. When they looked at Zheng Zhu, they looked at Zheng Zhu, and they were somewhat disdainful. Zheng Zhu walked along the way, but they did not see a lazy Qin people. Even though they were sweating profusely, they were constantly waving the tools in their hands.

It’s not like being busy with national affairs, it’s like doing your own family affairs.

In Zhao State, only Zhao people care about their own affairs.

He didn't even see these people talking. They were very silent and focused on their own affairs. The division of labor was very clear. Every other section of the road, there were ten people, composed of a man and nine men. Zheng Zhu sat in the carriage. He felt very strange, as if he was not moving forward, but was constantly repeating the journey just now, because the Qin people on each section of the road were exactly the same from their figure and appearance to their actions.

"The road specifications of Shangdang County are different from Qin, so these people are expanding the road." Meng Wu, who was in charge of escorting, explained with a smile. Zheng Zhu nodded, looking at the indifferent faces on the road who stopped after seeing the carriage, he couldn't help but feel a little scared. To discuss peace, peace must be negotiated. Zhao is not a rival of Qin, no country, if it is not united, it is not a rival of Qin!

The carriage drove towards Yin's city at a rapid speed, but Zheng Zhu's mood became heavier.

At this moment, Fan Ju's frame was also rushing towards Yin's city. As early as when he learned that Zhao was going to send people to negotiate peace, he left Xianyang and rushed towards Shangdang County. Fan Ju knew very well that this battle was the most important war for Qin. If this battle was won, the greatest achievement would be achieved by getting along with each other from a distance.

Fan Ju must rush there in person, otherwise, if he had to wait until Zheng Zhu came to pay a visit, he would have to wait for half a year. Fan Ju was impatient. What he hated most in his life was waiting. He had to go to Shangdang in person and meet Zheng Zhu on the way. This would save a lot of time and show the courtesy of the Qin people to the Zhao people. Sitting in the carriage, Fan Ju closed his eyes and began to think.

Fan Ju attaches great importance to results. Many times, he feels that if one of his decisions cannot bring double or even three results, then his decision will be a failure. Therefore, on the road, Fan Ju has already begun to think about what to do so that he can come to Shangdang in person and make the benefits of greater success.

Both of them kept instructing the driver to speed up, and each with their own mission. After a long journey, they came to Yin's City one after another.

The dusty old man Zheng Zhu just got off the carriage and saw a man running towards him in the distance. He lowered his head and ran forward in small steps. This was a posture that would only be posed when welcoming someone who was more noble than him. Zheng Zhu was shocked and at a loss. Before he could react, the man had already arrived in front of him. Meng Wu, who was beside him, widened his eyes. He was even more surprised than Zheng Zhu. When had he seen Ying Hou look like this?

"Ju heard that there is a talented and talented Zheng Zhu in Zhao State. He is a wise man who is kind and generous and elegant. Even King Zhao will walk down from the carriage when he sees him. Ministers will stop and salute him when they see him. Ju is just a talentless person. Today, when he sees you, he can only pay homage to you in this way." Fan Ju leans over and says, and Zheng Zhu then understands who is in front of him.

"Zhu dare not accept such great gifts as you. You are a famous wise minister in the world. The King of Qin loves you very much. All scholars in the world admire you. How dare Zhu accept your gifts? Please don't humiliate me like this anymore." Zheng Zhu hurriedly replied. Fan Ju smiled, stepped forward and grabbed Zheng Zhu's hand, and said to the people around him: "Qin and Zhao are brotherly countries. They are villains like Feng Ting who interfere, making Qin and Zhao get into evil. I think such a war can be over!"

Meng Wu trembled all over and said hurriedly: "But..."

"Stop talking!" Fan Ju scolded without hesitation. Meng Wu lowered his head helplessly and said nothing.

Fan Ju then took Zheng Zhu towards the city gate. Zheng Zhu was so excited that he couldn't speak at this moment that he followed Fan Ju into the city. People on the road were very respectful to Zheng Zhu when they saw Zheng Zhu. Fan Ju personally held a banquet to entertain him. At the banquet, no one dared to humiliate Zheng Zhu. They were all in agreement. Fan Ju even held his hand and said again: "Qin and Zhao are brothers of the same surname. Han and Wei are outsiders. Brothers do not aim their spears at outsiders, but aimed at themselves? There is no such thing in the world. What do you think?"

Zheng Zhu nodded and said excitedly: "What you said makes sense. Qin and Zhao should not fight."

After the banquet, Fan Ju even took Zheng Zhu into his room, and the two talked at night with candles.

Zheng Zhu was very happy.

He was filled with tears in his eyes. Sitting indoors, he held Fan Ju's hand, and could not stop the tears. He said, "I was very worried when I came. There was no way to promote Zhao Qin's collaborative discussion. Zhao State has mobilized four young people with beards in China. This is the season of farming. I didn't expect that Yinghou, you are such a noble person. I am very grateful for your hospitality."

"I hope that Zhao and Qin will not fight again. My son, Jia, served as a deputy general of Zhao. He was killed by the Qin people, but I don't resent. He died for the country, but I am very sad. I only have such a son. I hope the war can end soon, otherwise there will be more Zhao people, and Qin people's sons will die on the battlefield." Zheng Zhu wiped his tears and sobbed repeatedly.

Fan Ju looked at him, but couldn't speak.

"Thank you, Yinghou, the people of Zhao will not forget your kindness. I am so happy. I have never been so happy since Jia died in battle..." Perhaps because he had drunk a little too much wine, Zheng Zhu murmured like this, gradually fell on the bed, fell asleep, with a smile on his face and tears on his face. Fan Ju stood up and looked at the old man in front of him with a complicated expression. Finally, he just sighed without saying anything.

Sorry, if I don’t do this, more Qin people’s sons will die on the battlefield.

The next day, Fan Ju took Zheng Zhu and embarked on a journey again. The two of them were going to pay homage to the King of Qin. On this journey, Zheng Zhu finally put down his heavy mission and rushed to Fan Ju with both talking and laughing. Fan Ju was not anxious. He took Zheng Zhu to watch Qin along the way and explained it to him personally. Of course, Zheng Zhu was not in a hurry. After all, Fan Ju had already agreed to him to negotiate peace, and the Qin army also stopped the attack.

.....

Wei State, Daliang.

"Now the tyrant Qin invaded us, captured the city of Zhao, and killed the officials of Zhao. Zhao and Wei are brotherly countries. I ask you to send reinforcements to help Zhao and repel the invasion of the Qin people!" The young master Zhao Yu bowed respectfully to the King of Wei and said sincerely.

King Wei, narrowed his slender eyes, said unhappily: "I heard that Zhao and Qin are brothers, and they still said that they would attack our Wei together?"

"Your Majesty cannot believe these rumors. These are all the Qin people's plans to alienate each other." Zhao Yu was shocked and said hurriedly.

"Rumor? This is what Fan Ju said personally and Zheng Zhu, the envoy of Zhao. Now the Qin people stopped attacking and respected Zheng Zhu very much. They also said they wanted to form an alliance to deal with Wei? Are you trying to trick the Wei army into Zhao and destroy our Wei army with the Qin people? Come on! Exit this lobbyist! Never let him enter the land of Wei again!!" The King of Wei shouted angrily.

A dozen warriors suddenly rushed out from around, grabbed Zhao Yu and took him out of the palace.
