The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 261 Chu: It's still Zhao State that should take the lead
"The relationship between Qin and Zhao has been very good in recent years. Qin has helped Zhao a lot. If Zhao attacks Qin without reason, it will surely anger the King of Qin. As long as the King of Qin still has reason, he will know that it is better to retaliate against Zhao. After all, Zhao is closer and weaker."

"I think it is better to send a lobbyist to persuade King Zhao. Even if he cannot be persuaded for the time being, we can wait a little longer. Qin will definitely attack Wei next. Wei will be anxious and he will have no choice but to take the lead. Anyway, no matter how you look at it, the situation will not fall on our Great Chu."

"The last time the coalition attacked Qin, Great Chu also broke its alliance and joined the coalition, but didn't Qin take any practical measures? Qin also needs allies. It can't fight against the coalition of other countries, so it can make friends with them later. At most, it can marry one of the Qin king's noble ladies and pay some treasures as compensation."

King Kaolie of Chu nodded and said, "That is true. The most anxious country is Wei. We should wait for Wei to come forward. Great Chu should not be anxious."

"But the King of Wei has just ascended the throne. He wants to form a coalition of various countries. Does he have the ability and prestige to do so? He is far inferior to his father, and there is no second Wei Wuji."

Chunshen Jun shook his head gently: "It's just in name only. The King of Qin has a way out. The anger in his heart has a place to burn. Just don't burn it on the Great Chu."

"Let's try to see if we can get Zhao to take the lead first."

King Kaolie of Chu snorted, "Well, this boy deserves to be famous."

"But I'm afraid King Zhao won't be so easily persuaded. It's been clear over the past two years that King Zhao is not someone who can be easily persuaded."

Chunshen Jun smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the King of Zhao is just a young boy. He mainly relies on Guo Kai who is by his side. If we can convince Guo Kai, it is equivalent to convincing the King of Zhao."

King Kaolie of Chu nodded and said, "Indeed, Guo Kai is indeed a great man. It's a pity that such a man is loyal to a young man."

Chunshen Jun nodded in agreement: "Guo Kai has extraordinary insight and is loyal to Zhao. He must be able to see the threat of Qin sweeping across the Central Plains. It will not be difficult to convince Guo Kai."

King Kaolie of Chu said: "But he must have seen the consequences of offending Qin. It would be difficult to trick such a person into becoming the leader."

Chunshen Jun smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you only need to persuade Guo Kai to support the attack on Qin. As for the King of Zhao, he is young after all, and he just defeated the State of Yan and captured more than 30 cities. His reputation is known all over the world, so how can he not be famous?"

"Together the heroes, to attack Qin together, wouldn't a young man like him, who has not even reached the age of thirty, be tempted by the title of leader of the alliance?"

"As long as Guo Kai supports the attack on Qin, the King of Zhao may not be able to resist this reputation."

King Kaolie of Chu clapped his hands and exclaimed: "Excellent, excellent! What the Prime Minister said is absolutely right."

"This title is indeed more suitable for King Zhao."

After a moment's hesitation, he asked, "Does the Prime Minister have a suitable person to go and persuade the King of Zhao?"

Chunshen Jun smiled and said, "I have a suitable candidate. I wonder if Your Majesty has ever heard of the name Pang Nuan?"

King Kaolie of Chu thought for a long time and asked tentatively, "Descendants of Pang Juan and Pang Gong?"

Chunshen Jun nodded and said, "Your Majesty is wise. I didn't expect that Your Majesty has heard of this person's name."

"I remember that this man was a minister of King Wuling of Zhao in the past. He became famous at a young age and had some fame."

He was surprised and said, "The Prime Minister is not talking about him, right? He is not dead yet?!"

Chunshen Jun shook his head: "Of course he is not dead. Not only is he not dead, his cultivation is very advanced. He is still strong and healthy, his mind is clear, and he can ride a horse, shoot arrows, and fight enemies with ease."

"When I was young, I had the honor to attend the classes under Master Heguanzi, and I also met this person. He is indeed a great talent of the time. He was unlucky in the secular world, but he turned a disaster into a blessing. He was fortunate to follow Master Heguanzi to practice, and he has learned all the true teachings of Master Heguanzi. Before Master Heguanzi passed away, he left behind all his knowledge, which was restored and preserved by Pang Nuan." "Pang Nuan's only obsession is that he cannot repay the kindness of King Wuling of Zhao. If I go to invite this person to Zhao to help, he will definitely agree to go."

King Kaolie of Chu asked, "If this person wanted to repay King Wuling of Zhao's kindness, why would he let Zhao be the first to do so?"

Chunshen Jun smiled and said, "No, I didn't ask this person to be the first one to persuade the King of Zhao. The one who persuaded the King of Zhao was another lobbyist. You can choose someone who is good at flattery."

"Just invite this person to serve in Zhao. This person has always been tough and brave, and he must support the attack on Qin."

"This man is a minister of King Wuling of Zhao, and he is quite famous. He did not serve as an official during the reigns of King Huiwen and King Xiaocheng. Now he is nearly 80 years old, but he is willing to serve as a minister of a young man. How can the King of Zhao not be proud of this?"

"If there are more flatterers praising him, how can the King of Zhao not be attracted by the title of leader of all nations?"

King Kaolie of Chu clapped his hands and praised: "Good! As expected of you, you are the Prime Minister. Your plan is far-reaching and ingenious. I will act according to your plan!"

Chunshen Jun personally went to invite Pang Nuan to come out of seclusion, and Pang Nuan happily went to Zhao.

Pang Nuan naturally has a clear understanding of the current situation in the world. At his age, nothing matters anymore.

The only obsession is the kindness of being recognized and appreciated back then.

Almost a century has passed, but the scenes of those years are still vivid in my mind. Whenever I think of them, tears well up on my face.

King Wuling was a heroic and majestic king, just like a dragon!
Such a heroic king smiled gently, patted his shoulder, and said to him: "What a great young hero you are, are you willing to help me?"

When his grandfather Pang Juan died at the hands of Sun Bin in the Battle of Maling, the Pang family, once prominent in the Wei State, fell into silence in an instant. However, his uncle Pang Gong, after untold hardships, barely regained a place in the court and accompanied the prince to the State of Zhao. Later, he was framed by a villain and had nowhere to go, so he had to settle in the State of Zhao.

My father died of depression, and the Pang family was on the verge of complete ruin. It was King Wu Ling!

It is the king, only the king. The king is respectful to the wise and humble, and loves them generously. As a great leader, he does not despise me for my young age and lack of knowledge. He does not care about the family’s past grudges, and he uses me and helps me become famous.

How can I not repay such a great favor?
It is difficult for outsiders to judge the king’s family affairs, but Zhao is the king’s hard work. Now that Qin is powerful and has the potential to sweep the world, I will not regret it if I can contribute my little bit to it!

Pang Nuan rushed to Zhao State with a determined heart.

Following closely behind him to Zhao State was the secret envoy from Chu State, Lou An, the trusted and favored minister of the King of Chu.

Lou An is handsome, has an extraordinary spirit, is considerate and eloquent. If he cannot persuade King Zhao to become the leader of the coalition, then there is no need to force it. It is better to wait for Wei to take the blame.

At the same time, Li Mu was happily on his way to the State of Qin. Ying Zheng had already received the secret letter and couldn't help laughing.

Li Wu immediately moved closer to Ying Zheng, and sure enough, the next moment, she was held in Ying Zheng's arms.

After kissing Li Wu's pretty face several times, Li Wu's eyes were charming as she looked at Ying Zheng, her master.
