Great Qin Emperor

Chapter 139
"Master Guo, who is the most objection?" Zhou Chong said slowly.

Guo Kai didn't even think about it, and said: "It's the generals. They all said that if Qin State builds the road to the border of Zhao State, once they use this road to mobilize troops in the future, the pressure on Zhao State will be much greater, so the generals Jointly signed the petition, asking the king to send envoys to negotiate with Qin, not to build this road. This is not unreasonable. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is Qin's preparation for the destruction of Zhao. The purpose is to facilitate the assembly of troops and deployment. Military supplies. Lord Zhou, the truth is, it’s not that I, Guo Kai, don’t want to work for Daqin, I’m alone, I can’t stand up to the generals alone.”

"Master Guo, what can I say about you?" Zhou Chong pointed at Guo Kai and began to criticize, "You, Guo Kai, only know that public anger is hard to offend, but have you ever thought about why these generals joined forces to play? Agree with their proposition, so what will happen?"

Guo Kai disagreed with Zhou Chong's words and said: "Lord Zhou, with all due respect, it is best if this road is not repaired. It will bring great benefits to the State of Zhao. I also know that even if the State of Zhao sends envoys to negotiate Even if Daqin negotiates, Daqin will not agree, and the road still needs to be repaired."

Zhou Chong shook his head and said, "I came to Handan to build this road. The purpose is to prevent Zhao Guo from objecting. In fact, I want Zhao Guo to continue to build this road until it reaches Handan."

The road has only been built to the border of Zhao State, and Zhao State is not at ease. It is impossible to build it to Handan anyway. In that case, the Qin army will not drive straight along the road and go straight down to Handan. This is shooting itself in the foot. Even though Zhao Wangqian is stupid, he can still see clearly that this is simply impossible.

Guo Kai laughed and said: "Master Zhou, if I, Guo Kai, hadn't heard you say it with my own ears, it would be hard to believe."

Zhou Chong pointed to Guo Kai and said, "Everyone in the Zhao Kingdom can object, but you, Mr. Guo, cannot and should not."

"Master Zhou, it's not that I don't want to work for Daqin, it's just that this matter is too unthinkable." Guo Kai hurriedly dismissed it.

Zhou Chong began to analyze the pros and cons, and said: "Let me ask you, why did the generals jointly sign the memorial instead of a certain general? Li Mu, a famous general of the Zhao Kingdom, is also reasonable for him to present the memorial, but he signed the joint memorial. ,Why is that?"

"General Li Mu is unparalleled in wisdom and strategy. He is the pillar general of Zhao State. It is understandable for him to sign the joint memorial." Guo Kai still did not understand Zhou Chong's meaning.

Zhou Chong said very bluntly: "Guo Kai, I think you are a pig brain. With your brains, you can win Zhao Wang's trust. It is really unbelievable. Zhao Wang received the memorial from the generals, how did you deal with it? "

Guo Kai replied: "The king said that it would be good to send an envoy to negotiate."

"He is the mouth of the generals, pretending to be a gesture. In fact, he is very afraid of the general making such a big commotion." Zhou Chong expressed Zhao Wang's thoughts in one word, saying: "If he does anything If you don’t do it, the general’s disturbance will be even greater, so I have to do it.”

Guo Kai nodded in praise and said: "Master Zhou has fully anticipated the king's thoughts, Guo Kai will not accept it."

Zhou Chong continued: "This is an excellent opportunity for you to overthrow the generals and seize military power, but you do nothing. Do you think you are wasting the opportunity?"

Guo Kaixi was playing with power, his eyes immediately lit up when he heard this, and said: "This is indeed an opportunity, if I can bring down the generals and I have the military power, then I, Guo Kai, will truly be under one man and above ten thousand. But How can I do it? Please Master Zhou teach me."

Zhou Chong decided to strengthen his confidence and said, "The reason why these generals signed the joint memorial was not because of Li Mu. Li Mu was afraid that it would be difficult for him to do it alone. Convincing the generals to sign their names puts a lot of pressure on the generals, but Li Mu has made a fool of himself and violated the big taboo of being a king. To be a king is to be able to control everything and be able to rest assured. The generals walk together, listen to King Zhao will not feel at ease if Li Mu's words and deeds are true, what's the difficulty in bringing down the generals and Li Mu?"

To control everything and rest assured is not only the wish of the king, but also in daily life.Just like this, employing people is often clumsy but not skillful, and the stupid people often benefit, but the smart people get nothing.

Guo Kai clenched his fists and said, "Yes, Mr. Zhou's insights are really brilliant."

Zhou Chong went on to analyze, saying: "You know Li Mu's character. He hates evil like a hatred. He has discorded with you. He has disliked you for a long time. If you can't suppress him this time, with the support of the generals, he will His status will be greatly improved, and at that time, he will be unimpeded in the army, and he will be echoed by civil servants, how do you think he will deal with you?"

"He will kill me, kill my whole family!" Guo Kaixin was startled, knelt down to Zhou Chong, and said, "Mr. Zhou, save me!"

Zhou Chong helped Guo Kaidao: "If Li Mu wants to succeed, you will fail. If he opposes Qin's road construction, you agree with Qin's road construction. It is not enough to do this. You just maintain an invincible and undefeated situation. You and him are still the same. No one can suppress anyone."

Guo Kai was also Linglong's person, so he immediately asked: "Mr. Zhou, how can I overwhelm Li Mu?"

"To build a road, we want Zhao Guo to build a road that connects with the road of Qin State and goes all the way to Handan." Zhou Chong explained the purpose of his trip.

Guo Kai was startled, and said: "This is unlikely. Although Zhao Wang is dim, it is not enough to not understand the danger of building a road."

Zhou Chong smiled and said: "That's good, we agree to Zhao Guo's request, if we don't build roads, and if we don't build to Zhao's border, whose credit do you say?"

"Li Mu's." Guo Kai said almost word for word.

Zhou Chong brainwashed Guo Kai again, saying: "Li Mu's prestige is already very high, if there is this incident, his prestige will be even higher, it is only a matter of time before he overwhelms you, by then, you will lose your fortune. "

Guo Kai gritted his teeth and said: "Damn Li Mu! Xiu Xiu Xiu, must repair."

Zhou Chong said coquettishly: "Cultivation is of course necessary, but it depends on who is going to do it? The person who did it has done a lot of credit."

Guo Kai's eyes sparkled again, and he said: "I, Guo Kai, have to do this road construction."

It is not only a matter of credit, but also a matter of money that he is responsible for road construction.If Zhao Guo wants to build roads, he must invest a lot of money, and he has to manage all these money. With his corrupt means, if he doesn't fill his own pockets, how can he not agree?
"You have to remember that this is not an ordinary road, but a road to power, and it is your road to the peak of power." Zhou Chong hinted that Guo Kai could use this to build momentum and make more credit.If you want to be promoted, you must first have merit, and if you want merit, you have to do things. The size of the matter is not important, what matters is whether you can use these things well and get the effect you need. Guo Kai will not fail to understand this principle.

Guo Kaiming understood what Zhou Chong meant, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhou. May I ask Mr. Zhou, how can we get King Zhao to agree? I think Mr. Zhou has a plan in mind."

Zhou Chong waved, Guo Kai came over, Zhou Chong murmured in his ear for a while, and the two laughed at each other.
