Chapter 520 Trading

Zhao Wang Palace.

"Hahaha!"

In the harem garden, Zhao Wangqian was overjoyed after hearing the military report from the front line.

"So what if we strengthen Qin? What if we have an army of one million? Aren't we blocked by tens of thousands of Zhao's border troops and can't even let out a single fart?"

Zhao Wangqian was very proud. Guo Kai and Han Cang followed behind, accompanying King Zhao.

Guo Kai gave Han Cang a look from behind, and the other party immediately picked up the conversation.

"That's what the king said. This is all due to the power of the king, so that we can stop Qin from being strong."

Han Cang's words made Zhao Wangqian very happy, but then he changed the subject.

"It's just that I heard a piece of news recently...forget it, it must be nonsense."

Zhao Wangqian stopped, turned around, and asked.

"What news? Tell me!"

Shocked by Zhao Wangqian's "majesty", Han Cang quickly nodded and bowed before speaking.

"I heard that Li Mu and Sima Shang often complained about the court's harsh treatment of them, so they were ready to join the Qin army."

"What did you say?"

Zhao Wangqian was startled, as if in disbelief, and turned to look at Guo Kai.

"Xiangguo, is this true?"

Guo Kai muttered softly for a lifetime, thought for a moment, and answered.

"I haven't heard much about Mr. Han. However, I have heard that Lord Wu An only re-employs those who have been with him for many years and ignores those sent by the king."

At this point, Guo Kai said "good words" for Li Mu.

"Maybe it's because Lord Wu An uses his troops like a god, and he has a profound meaning that ordinary people like us have never understood."

"Is this happening?"

When Zhao Wangqian was confused, he summoned the servant.

"Get all the battle reports."

Han Cang and Guo Kai were behind, looking at each other and smiling.

The chamberlain brought over the battle reports from the front line one by one. Zhao Wangqian carefully read the battle reports that he had not read carefully, only to find that the cavalry he sent over had suffered serious losses, including several captains.

After Zhao Wangqian read it, his hands trembled and he immediately became angry.

"Well, Li Mu, what can I do to you? How dare you have different intentions and rebel against Qin!"

Only then did Guo Kai react.

"Your Majesty, I wonder if there is any misunderstanding here. Lord Wu An is loyal to the country and will not have any connection with the Qin army." After Guo Kai said this, he added, "Unless he disobeys the king's order." , I dare not return to Handan."

"Come here, announce Li Mu's return to the court. I want to inquire carefully about the military situation ahead."

After listening to Guo Kai's words, Zhao Wangqian immediately issued the order. After that, Zhao Wangqian was still unhappy and complained.

"When I was a child, this Li Mu didn't like me, saying that I didn't have the virtue that a young master should have. But how could I feel sorry for him? I gave him everything he wanted, and the granaries in Handan were almost emptied by his frontier troops. He is not satisfied yet and dares to betray me!"

The harem of Zhao State.

Queen Mother Zhao was sitting on the throne with a pair of charming eyes, which made Guo Kai feel uneasy.

"Xiangguo, why did I hear that you were slandering and speaking ill of Li Mu in His Majesty's ears?"

"I don't dare! My whole heart is for the sake of the king and the queen mother."

"Don't do this to me. Don't you think I don't know that you and Han Cang embezzled military funds and embezzled grain and grass? It's all Li Mu's fault, and you were kicked back."

"Queen Mother, you are wronged!" Guo Kai knelt down, "Zhao's harvest has not been good in recent years, and there is not enough grain and grass in Handan. Li Mu is greedy again and wants 50% of the grain and grass in Handan's granary. Isn't this also what I'm worried about? , Li Mu holds a large amount of food and grass in his hands, and flirts with the young master, does he want to harm the king and the queen mother?"

Queen Mother Zhao's expression changed. The most worrying thorn in her heart was Gongzi Jia.

Guo Kai grasped it well and continued talking.

"Moreover, in the first battle with the Qin army, Li Mu deliberately sent the cavalry troops from Handan to die in order to save his own direct lineage. The main idea is to be on guard!"

"Can Li Mu stop the Qin army if he comes back?"

"The king just asked him to come back to report on his duties, but he didn't want to remove him from the position of general?" Guo Kai smiled, "Besides, I have to say something arrogant. Li Mu's fights are just to 'hold the wall and wait for opportunities to break the enemy'. Is it the same thing? Without Li Mu in our Zhao country, there will be no other generals?"

"Okay!" In the end, Queen Mother Zhao relented, "It's okay to let him come back."

Prime Minister's Mansion.

In the study, it was dark, and Guo Kai was waiting alone. His expression looked a little anxious in the darkness.

Until, a hoarse voice sounded in the room.

"Mr. Zhao, have you done what Luo Wang wants you to do?"

Zhanri appeared in the house, with a pair of pupils under the mask that seemed to be able to pierce the darkness, and were extremely sharp.

Guo Kai clearly felt that Luo Wang treated him differently than before.

"Where is Luo Wang's promise to me?"

"Don't worry, Prime Minister, even if you lose the position of Prime Minister of Zhao State, you will still be Qin State's top minister."

Faced with Zhenri's words, Guo Kai was suspicious.

"In this position, the weight of the snare alone may not be enough!"

Zhanri glanced at the man behind the desk and smiled softly.

"Master Xiangguo is a smart man and should know the situation in Zhao State at this moment."

"Yes, Zhao State can't last much longer. But if Luo Wang can't afford this price, then there are many people in Qin State who can."

"Is this person that Mr. Xiangguo is talking about Zhao Shuang?"

Zhanri had some murderous intent, but Guo Kai didn't notice it at all and stood up.

"Wangqian Zhao is weak and knows nothing about state affairs. His mother is a prostitute. Although she is good at intrigues, how much vision does she have? Therefore, even if she wants to sell it, she should sell it at a good price."

Zhanri put away his murderous intent and his voice softened.

"But do you know who Zhao Shuang is?"

Guo Kai sighed.

"Whether it's Lord Han Yang or Marquis Lin Lu, what does it have to do with me?"

Having said this, Guo Kai took a few steps forward, came to Zie Ri and looked directly into his eyes.

"Wang Jian fought with Li Mu in front, and the stalemate lasted for a long time. No one could do anything to the other. But he knew that it was Zhao Jun he wanted to defeat, not Li Mu. Therefore, he set up a divorce plan."

After a few words, Guo Kai's momentum changed.

"Luo Wang is just an errand boy. So, Lord Zhiri, can you tell me, is the price offered by the Qin State what I want?"

Zhanri looked at Guo Kai who was right in front of him, and suddenly realized that although the guy in front of him was a traitor, he was not just a flatterer. Not only did he know the situation of Zhao State clearly, but he also knew the situation of Qin State.

"Master Xiangguo is good at business."

"If the Zhao Kingdom dies, what Luo Yuan can get will definitely not be less than what I can get."

Covering the sun with a smile.

"This price is only given by the State of Qin. Next, Luo Wang wants to increase the price. Does the Prime Minister dare to accept it?"

Guo Kai frowned and asked.

"What does Luo Sheng want?"

"Luo Wang not only wants Li Mu's life, but also wants to annihilate Zhao's tens of thousands of border troops. It's best to take advantage of that Hanyang Lord."
