  Chapter 172 Ying Zheng: Bait? i want it all

   "Li Si, take a look!"

  After retiring from the court, all the officials of the Qin State left separately, but Li Si was summoned to the Zhangtai Palace by Ying Zheng, and gave Li Si the "Korean Book" presented by Han Fei before.

   As for the "Korea Book" presented by Han Fei, Li Si couldn't help but change his expression after just one glance.

at this time.

   Only heard Ying Zheng continue: "You and Han Fei once studied in the same school, what do you think of what Han Fei said in this book?"

  Li Si bowed respectfully, and said: "Your Majesty, what is said in this book may not be true."

   "Oh? What's not true."

  Han Fei's "Book of Preservation of Han" is essentially a "report" to persuade Ying Zheng to give up attacking South Korea, but in this article, Han Fei did not plead with Ying Zheng to give up attacking South Korea.

   Instead, by clarifying the intricate situation among countries, and the current attack on South Korea, which may lead to the war harm of Zhao, Wei, and Qi at the same time, they persuade Yingzheng to give up the war.

  Of course it is impossible for Ying Zheng to give up the war, but he has to admit that what Han Fei said in this "Book of Preservation of Korea" is also reasonable.

   Today's Qin State is indeed powerful. Even if it faced the last time the Five Kingdoms attacked Qin, the current Qin State may not be incapable of fighting.

   But this is only a bad idea after all.

  The essence of war is to plunder resources, and the best policy is to obtain the greatest results at the smallest cost.

  And if Qin State takes the lead in destroying South Korea this time, and instead attracts a joint attack from other countries, then even if Qin State wins, there is a high probability that it will only be a miserable victory, and the gains outweigh the losses.

  The Qin State's strategy of attacking South Korea first was Li Si's first proposal.

  Li Si and Han Fei came from the same school.

  But now that the two of them put forward diametrically opposed concepts, Ying Zheng naturally thought of asking Li Si for his opinion.

"Although this "Book of Preservation of Korea" clarifies the interests and benefits of Qin's attack on South Korea from the perspective of war, it does not indicate that the existence of South Korea itself has gradually become a "confidential problem" for Qin. Although this disease is usually invisible However, once certain critical moments are reached, South Korea may become the most vicious knife to pierce Qin."

After all, Li Si went on to say: "Your Majesty, don't forget that when the Five Kingdoms attacked Qin last time, Korea at that time had already declared surrender to Qin in name. However, in that war, South Korea used the Five Kingdoms As the vanguard of the coalition forces, launch an attack on Qin."

   "Qin and South Korea are very close to each other. If the king of Qin hadn't disbanded the Allied Forces of the Five Nations in that battle, South Korea at that time would probably have become the first country to invade the territory of Qin."

  Han Fei argues from the perspective of war, while Li Si argues from the perspective of human nature and politics.

   Ying Zheng finished listening.

   Wei Wei also fell into deep thought.

But at this moment, Li Si's eyes flashed, and he continued: "In addition, I also want to remind the king that the hydraulic engineer "Zheng Guo" presented the treasure map today, and there may be tricks, so I ask the king to be careful." .”

   "No problem."

  Hearing Li Si mentioned the matter of 'Zheng Guoqu', Ying Zheng waved his hand, squinted his eyes and said: "I know they have other plans, but why don't I plan on them?"

  How could it be possible for Ying Zheng to come to this point without seeing Han Fei and Zheng Guo's plans at all.

   It's just that the bait they sent this time was too big, and Ying Zheng was really reluctant to let go.

   No matter what Zheng Guo is planning.

   But the treasure map of the 'Zhengguo Canal' presented by the other party is real. Once this canal can be dug through, then Qin State will have thousands of miles of fertile fields out of thin air, and I don't know how much food can be grown for Qin State.

  As for Han Fei...

  Why did Ying Zheng let him live in Qin State temporarily?

   It's nothing more than greed for his body... Ah no, it's his talent.

   That's why it gave him a period of time to think about it.

   Now Yingzheng already has Mr. Mo, so he doesn't have as much desire for Han Fei as in the original book, but anyway, for the king, the more talents the better.

  Han Fei's presentation of "Korea Book" did make Yingzheng hesitate, but it was only hesitation.

  Why did Ying Zheng call for Li Si this time?

  He didn't want Li Si to argue with Han Fei, but to let Li Si come up with a solution.

Unfortunately.

   Li Si obviously didn't understand what Ying Zheng asked him to come here.

   In other words, he understood it, but he couldn't solve it.

  So let’s talk about it.

   This time Li Si and his brother from the same school actually lost again.

  ······

the other side.

  After Han Fei left Xianyang Palace, he saw a carriage waiting outside the door.

   got into the carriage.

  Han Fei saw Yan Lingji, the guard of his envoy to Qin State on this trip.

   "It seems that this trip is going well! You seem to be in a good mood."

  Yan Lingji turned her beautiful eyes and spoke slowly.

Traveling in troubled times is inherently dangerous, not to mention that the place where Han Fei is going as an envoy this time is Qin, which is about to send troops to attack South Korea. Under such circumstances, if there is no suitable bodyguard, no one will feel at ease when Han Fei walks in Longtan Tiger Den.

  In fact, the most suitable bodyguard candidate should have been Wei Zhuang, but unfortunately Wei Zhuang just left for Guigu the day before Qin sent troops to attack South Korea.

  Among the remaining people, only Yan Lingji was left as a 'bodyguard' who had the time and ability to pick and choose.

  Han Fei got into the carriage, first stretched his waist, and then said slowly: "On the contrary, not only did this trip not go well, but the crisis that South Korea encountered this time is probably unprecedented."

"Why do you say that?"

  Han Fei took out a wine jug and a wine glass from the carriage, first poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it all in one gulp. A few gleams of light suddenly flashed in his eyes before continuing.

"It was only after I entered the state of Qin that I realized that the national strength of the state of Qin has become so strong. Any negotiation needs to be based on the most basic strength, and the strength of South Korea and Qin is completely unequal now. .”

   "I even suspect that the target of Qin's military mobilization this time may not only be South Korea..."

  Yan Lingji glanced at him suspiciously, and said: "The situation is already so serious, are you still in the mood to drink?"

  Han Fei smiled and said: "If you have wine today, you will be drunk today. You can't just waste today's good wine and stop drinking because of the disaster that is coming tomorrow!"

  Yan Lingji obviously already understood Han Fei's virtue, and she just rolled her eyes when she heard this.

   "Then what should we do next? Since the situation is already so dangerous, we might as well flee back to South Korea now!"

   "No need."

   Regarding Yan Lingji's suggestion, Han Fei shook his head and said, "You can escape for a while, but you can't escape for a lifetime. Let's find a place to rest here for the night. Tomorrow we will go to Hanzhong. I want to meet someone."

  Hearing Han Fei mention Hanzhong, Yan Lingji also understood who Han Fei wanted to meet.

really.

  Based on the current state of Qin, if there is one person who can prevent the King of Qin from launching a war, there is probably only one who is famous in the seven countries of the Central Plains.

  The two of them rested for one night in Xianyang.

   Early the next morning.

  Han Fei and Yan Lingji took the carriage and walked towards Hanzhong.

As more and more businessmen are traveling between Xianyang and Hanzhong, the road between Xianyang and Hanzhong is getting better and better. Han Fei and Yan Lingji did not deliberately speed up the carriage, but it only took a day After a while, they reached the entrance of [Qin Ping Avenue].

   "This is [Qinping Avenue] built with 'cement'?"

  The carriage drove to the entrance, and Han Fei saw the gray-white concrete avenue in front of him, so he couldn't help but jumped off the carriage and carefully observed the road under his feet.

  However, the more he observed, the more frightened Han Fei became.

  Han Fei is undoubtedly a very talented person, and the more talented a person is, the more he can see the infinite potential of a creation like 'cement'.

   "Shenghei-kun... What a formidable opponent!"

  Han Fei couldn't help sighing in a low voice.

   And just as he finished speaking, Yan Lingji suddenly pulled Han Fei's belt, and Han Fei raised his head subconsciously, just as he was about to ask what was going on.

  In Han Fei's vision, a figure suddenly appeared that surprised the two of them.

   "Mr. Guy?"

   "I have met the ninth son and the girl Yan Lingji."

  The person who appeared in front of Han Fei and Yan Lingji was none other than Gai Nie with a long sword on his waist and a stern expression on his face.

  Beside Gai Nie, there was a child dressed in white, whose appearance was five or six points similar to Ying Zheng, except that his eyes were still a little confused.

"Who is this······"

  Han Fei naturally noticed the child next to Gai Nie, and had some vague guesses about the identity of the other party.

no way.

  After all, there are not many dragon and tiger guards guarding the Xianyang Palace in the entire state of Qin.

   "I am Fusu, who are you?"

  Fusu, who was guarded by the dragon and tiger guards and Gai Nie in the center, spoke in a childish voice.

"It turned out to be the eldest son of Qin, and I am Han Fei, the envoy of South Korea to Qin this time." Although Fusu is still young, the identity of the other party is extraordinary, so Han Fei also saluted very seriously. .

  When Fusu heard what Han Fei said, he quickly returned a salute, and said politely, "So it's His Royal Highness Ninth Prince of Korea. Fusu was rude."

  Fusu is not very old now, imitating the dignified salute of adults, it doesn't look very formal, but it gives people a rather cute feeling.

   "Are Mr. Gai and the eldest son also traveling to Hanzhong?"

   "Yes. My father asked me to worship..."

  Tap tap ~~

  Fusu’s milk voice hadn’t finished yet, suddenly, there was a rush of horseshoes coming from ahead.

   Everyone looked back subconsciously.

   Next second.

I saw two fast horses galloping from the [Qinping Avenue], and each of the two on the horses was carrying a package, and there were a few pieces of 'white cloth' faintly revealed inside the package... ·
