Chapter 412 Qin Seeks Peace

"No troops to send from Bashu County? But I heard that there are 3,000 noble families in Bashu County, so it should be no problem to organize 200,000 troops... General Meng!" Qin Zheng said, looking at a burly general in front of him.

"Meng Kuo is here!" the general said in a deep voice.

"You go to Bashu County, take 50 Blood Dragon Guards, send 200,000 troops from Bashu County to Wuguan, and guard Wuguan. The other two armies of Chu State are not a concern." Qin Zheng said.

"I obey your order!" Meng Kuo kowtowed to Qin Zheng.

When the ministers of Qin State heard that Qin Zheng actually sent Meng Kuo to Bashu County, they all bowed their heads and kept silent. As the leader of the Blood Dragon Guards, Meng Kuo was known as the world's number one warrior. As long as he took action, it would be bloody.

Qin Zheng's attitude was very clear. At this time, the Imperial Censor Cai Ze came out. He first bowed to Qin Zheng, and then spoke.

"Your Majesty, Wei has been mobilizing troops frequently recently, and Shiling Pass needs to send more troops. In addition, the rebels in Xiaoguan and Yiqu County in the north are active frequently." Cai Ze said.

Everyone was silent when they heard this. The King of Qin needed to go to Wuguan to personally fight against Chu. If Wei and Zhao attacked at this time, how would Qin resist?

"Do you have any countermeasures, my dear ministers?" Qin Zheng asked while sitting on the throne.

The ministers of Qin were silent and dared not speak. After a long time, Prime Minister Li Si stood up.

"Prime Minister, do you have a good plan?" Qin Zheng looked at Li Si and asked.

"The only way now is to negotiate peace with Wei!" Li Si said.

"Talk about peace? Wei has been fighting with us for hundreds of years. How can it negotiate peace at this time?" Cai Ze directly denied it.

"Countries are nothing more than for interests. As long as I can pay the price, how can Wei not be tempted?" Li Si said lightly.

Now the ministers of Qin State were furious. They all blamed Li Si. As the most powerful ruler in the world, how could Qin State cede land to Wei State to survive? Qin people only die standing, not kneeling.

"Oh? Prime Minister, tell me!" Qin Zheng said at this time.

Everyone was not angry when they heard that Qin Zheng was not angry, and they all waited quietly for Li Si's idea of ​​seeking peace.

"Qin State ceded Yiqu County to Wei State, and then we can withdraw 100,000 troops from Xiaoguan. The remnants of Yiqu County are a headache for Wei State, and this can greatly reduce the contradiction between Zhao State and us. Yiqu State was once a vassal of Zhao State." Li Si said slowly and calmly.

Some ministers of Qin State scolded Li Si as a traitor. The area of ​​Yiqu County reached more than 30% of the area of ​​Qin State. If Yiqu County was ceded to Wei State, the area of ​​Wei State would increase by half at once, and Qin State would create an extremely powerful enemy for itself.

As the quarrels continued, the voices became quieter and quieter. Everyone saw Qin Zheng was in deep thought, and the ministers of Qin State in front of him also began to think. This scene seemed very strange in the Qin State Hall.

"Okay, the matter of negotiating peace with Wei State will be handed over to the Prime Minister, Wu'an Jun!" Qin Zheng said.

"Your Majesty!" A general walked out, wearing a black cloak, and everyone couldn't help showing a trace of caution in his eyes.

"You go to Zheng State, this year I want to stabilize the situation in the entire central region." Qin Zheng said.

"Your Majesty!" Wu'an Jun, the world's number one general, was in the great perfection of the foundation-building realm. Qin Zheng sent him to Zheng State, which was dissatisfied with the war in the central region.

"Su Jiao!"

"I am here!"

"You dispatch 50,000 troops from Beidi and Longxi to garrison Shiling Pass."

"Yes, sir!"

...

On March 12, a powerful will suddenly appeared over Chunshou City in Chu State. The people of Chunshou were so scared that they dared not go out. The King of Chu and two unknown masters sniped the invading enemy. The King of Chu was seriously injured. An unknown master blew himself up and seriously injured the enemy. The battle lasted for half a day.

Hua Kai got the news from his fourth uncle Hua Zihuan that during Qin Zheng's raid, two sleeping ancestors of the Chu family were awakened. Finally, an ancestor of the Chu family who had reached the great perfection of the foundation building realm blew himself up to repel Qin Zheng. The King of Chu was seriously injured in this battle.

From this incident, it can be seen that Qin Zheng has officially embarked on the road to unifying the world. This time, the King of Chu was able to escape with the ancestor's self-explosion. When Qin Zheng recovered from his injury and went to Chu State, what resistance would Chu State have? Without the great perfection of the foundation building realm, there was no threat to Qin Zheng at all.

At the same time, Li Si came to Daliang City of Wei as an envoy of Qin. In the hall of Wei, King Wei and a group of ministers of Wei met Li Si.

"Meet King Wei!" Although Li Si was only a great perfection of the Xiantian Realm, no one in Wei dared to look down on him.

"Why did Prime Minister Li come to Wei at this time?" King Wei asked.

"As neighbors, Qin and Wei should have more exchanges. Today, the army of Chu invaded our Wuguan border for no reason. The King of Qin has already personally led an expedition to Chu..." Li Si said, and the Prime Minister of Wei beside him spoke.

"Chu sent troops to invade Qin, what about Qin? The Central Plains Han, Zhou, Zheng, Wei and other countries have been broken by the Qin army. If we don't resist, I'm afraid we will become prisoners of Qin soon!"

When the officials of Wei heard this, they all agreed. Li Si turned around and looked at everyone, his face was not moved at all.

"What Prime Minister Wei said is wrong!" Li Si said. "Oh? Is there any hidden secret in the past few years? Please tell me, Prime Minister Qin!" The Prime Minister of Wei said deliberately.

"Qin sent troops not for itself, but for the world. All the countries in the Central Plains respect the various schools of thought. The king is like a figurehead in the country. They occupy the most fertile and safest areas in the Central Plains. These countries do not think about killing wild monsters all day long, but just study theories. What is the difference between this and the cancer of the human race?" Li Si said.

In addition to monsters, the biggest opponents of the monarchs of all countries in the world are the various schools of thought. Although Li Si's explanation is a bit far-fetched, it can be said.

"But I heard that the King of Qin has been looking for a panacea, just for immortality, to imprison the alchemy master of Han!" A minister of Wei continued to speak. At this time, if they can conquer Qin, they will be able to take the initiative in a while.

"Rumors stop at the wise. I believe that the ministers of Wei have their own judgments in their hearts. This time, I am here to negotiate peace with Wei on the orders of my king. We will establish friendly neighbors and advance and retreat together without aggression!" Li Si said.

"The King of Qin wants to negotiate peace and alliance with me? This is strange. Everyone knows that Qin Zheng wants to annex the six countries. How can I fight with a tiger?

I think you are talented, so I won't make things difficult for you. Go back and tell Qin Zheng that it's time for Qin to return the oppression of Wei for so many years. Talk about peace? When the Wei army arrives in Xianyang City, I will talk to the King of Qin in detail." The King of Wei looked at Li Si and said loudly.

Li Si saw the King of Wei stand up and said, with a contemptuous smile on his face. If the news that the King of Qin had not raided the palace had not spread to Daliang City, the King of Wei would probably not dare to meet him easily. There are probably no more than a handful of people in this world who can talk to the King of Qin on an equal footing, and this certainly does not include the King of Wei.

"King of Wei, don't worry? Listen to the peace terms of my Qin before you talk!" Li Si said slowly.

"Can your Qin still cede land and pay compensation? It's impossible for Qin to form an alliance with Wei!" The Prime Minister of Wei said loudly.

"Qin is willing to cede all of Yiqu County to Wei, and ask Wei to send troops to Zheng to rescue the central countries that are controlled by the various schools of thought." Although Li Si's voice was not loud, his words were clearly heard by every minister of Wei.

Qin spent a lot of money to occupy Yiqu State. Wei, as a large country with an area only slightly larger than Han among the seven powers, has a land area not much larger than Yiqu County. If Qin cedes Yiqu County to Wei, then Wei's territory will suddenly exceed Zhao, Qi and other countries, and will not be much different from Qin. This bait is really big.

"Haha! Qin is really a good calculation. Now it is surrounded by enemies but wants to buy Wei. We do not agree to peace talks. You said that we can take it ourselves with our strength." The general of Wei heard this and said, and everyone realized that Qin's actions were just an excuse for Wei to give up the attack. The more Qin did so, the more it showed that they were afraid, and everyone's hearts became firm again.

"No, no! General, what you said is wrong. Qin has never thought of being an enemy of Wei. If Wei takes the initiative to attack Qin, it will be an invasion. At that time, Qin will definitely fight back to the death. Even if Qin is defeated in the end, what benefits can Wei get?" Li Si said calmly.

The officials of Wei State couldn't help but think, even if they paid a price and finally defeated Qin, what would the situation in the world become in the end?

The countries that jointly attacked Qin included Chu, Zhao, Qi and the small countries in the central part of the Central Plains. How much of the results could Wei get in the end? As the strongest man in the world, could Qin Zheng let these kings and great families go?

"Qin is sincere in its friendship with Wei. Now the various schools of thought in the Central Plains are becoming more and more powerful. All walks of life in Chu are infiltrated by the various schools of thought. The central region is basically controlled by Confucianism, Taoism, Legalism and other schools. Qi is ruled by the Confucian sage Zeng Shen, Zhao has accepted Mohism, and Yan is full of schools. Now only Qin and Wei are the least eroded by the various schools of thought." Li Si said so, which made many people who wanted to negotiate more cautious.

The king and the various schools of thought have been fighting for the right to speak in the world, and they have been fighting for thousands of years without a winner. If the various schools of thought control the whole world, it might be better to let Qin unify the world, so that the rights of their various families can also be guaranteed.

Li Si was invited back to the official inn to rest for a while. When he returned to the room, he couldn't help but smile. Today's matter was already half done. The fear of Qin was deep in the hearts of the various families in Wei State. As long as they saw a chance, they would not take the initiative to attack Qin State. The conditions given by Qin State could not be rejected by Wei State. If the other party's alliance was opened, a gap would be opened, and then the crisis of Qin State would be easily resolved.

Thinking of this, Li Si took out a piece of [Hua Shi Paper] from the spiritual space, he wrote something on it, and then the paper slowly faded and disappeared in his hand.
