Chapter 818
This secret meeting between Zhao Kuo and Lu Buwei ends here.
As a very smart minister, Lu Buwei certainly would not ask Zhao Kuo what method he would use to deal with Pingyang Jun next.
The current Qin Taishi was just secretly determined to continue to develop his power after returning to Qin. In this way, after Zhao attacked Qin in the future, Lu Buwei could mobilize more Qin officials to surrender to Zhao Kuo as soon as possible, which naturally made great contributions.
Zhao Kuo did not continue to guess Lu Buwei's idea at this time, mainly because there was another thing that involved Zhao Kuo's energy.
A few days later, Zhao Kuo came to the prison in Handan City and met the Chang Guojun who was detained here.
After a long period of detention, Lejian looked a little embarrassed, and his whole body was unkempt and no longer had the chic expression and majesty demeanor of a great nobleman before.
Zhao Kuo said to Lejian calmly: "Mr. Chang, I didn't expect that after so long, you still didn't choose to surrender. Have you forgotten that you were actually a native of Zhao?"
After capturing Lejian and escorting Lejian back to Zhao, the Zhao government sent people to persuade Lejian to surrender for a long time.
You should know that Lejian's father Le Yi is from Zhao. It was because of the explosion of the Dune Palace in Zhao that Le Yi had to leave Zhao and go to Yan.
Later, after Le Yi and the newly ascended King Hui of Yan broke up and were removed from the position of chief general in the battle against Qi, he also returned to Zhao and was also named a king by Zhao.
The political enemy before Zhao Kuo, Le Cheng, was the clan uncle of Lejian. From this point of view, Zhao Kuo said that Lejian was a Zhao native, and there was no problem.
Why should we persuade the music room to come to visit?
The reason is actually very simple.
The Zhao government did not like Lejian's talents. To be honest, there were more outstanding people in the Zhao government than Lejian.
The reason why the Zhao State government wanted to persuade Lejian to surrender was mainly because, as an important official of Yan State, Lejian would undoubtedly play a very good demonstration role once he could choose to surrender.
Everyone knows that the people of Yan and Zhao are very violent in nature, so although Zhao conquered the land of Yan and included it in the rule, disobedience to Zhao and even secretly resisted them on the land of Yan.
Under such circumstances, if the important officials of Yan State like Lejian can choose to surrender to Zhao State, it will undoubtedly help Zhao State relieve the rebellious sentiment of these local Yan State people, and it can also make Zhao State's rule over the land within Yan State easier.
Unfortunately, although there are so many benefits, the Chang Guojun Lejian has been very firmly rejecting the ministers of Zhao State for the past few months.
King Zhao, who was suffering from a headache, had to hand over this task to Zhao Kuo, hoping that Zhao Kuo, an opponent who had defeated Lejian on the battlefield, could once again break the psychological defense line of Lejian so that Lejian could be used by Zhao State.
After hearing Zhao Kuo's words, Lejian slowly raised his head and stared at Zhao Kuo.
Although he looked very embarrassed, the expression in his eyes was still very calm. Zhao Kuo could even read a look called firm from his eyes.
Lejian said slowly: "The State of Yan has now perished. As a minister of Yan, I want to be buried with Yan. Isn't this requirement too much?"
Zhao Kuo said to Lejian: "Mr. Changguo, if you want to be buried with Yan State, this loyalty is quite worthy of admiration.
But have you ever thought that even the King of Yan who lost the throne of Yan did not die for Yan State, why did you die for such a king?"
This sentence obviously talks about the pain in Lejian, which makes the expression on Lejian's face slightly change.
But I happily came back to my senses and said to Zhao Kuo: "The king is greedy for life and fear of death. It is the king's business. I have naturally fought for Yan State for so long. If I want to die for Yan State, it is my own business."
Zhao Kuo continued to speak, "Have you forgotten your old colleague, Yan Guo Wei, Prime Minister of Yan State?
He had no desire to die for Yan State, and it was his rebellion that made our Zhao State easily destroy Yan State.
Guo Wei is also your old boss. His actions naturally represent the voices of most Yan State officials. Can't you adapt to the calls of other Yan State officials?"
After hearing the name Guo Wei, the expression on Lejian's face changed significantly, and a look of hatred flashed through it.
This expression was quickly covered up by Lejian, and he said coldly: "It's Guo Wei's own business to surrender, so what does it have to do with me?
And isn’t it enough for you, State of Zhao, to have Guo Wei’s surrender?
Why do I have to surrender too?”
Zhao Kuoxiong shrugged his shoulders and said to the musician in front of him: "To be honest, I don't care whether you surrender or not. I came here this time just by following the orders of our king.
But, because you are also a native of Zhao, I still want to advise you a few words.
Of course it is easy for you to die, but have you ever thought about what kind of experience your wife and children will suffer after you die?”
Le Jian couldn't help but change his face when he heard this, and he roared at Zhao Kuo: "The State of Zhao has achieved this point now. Do you have to attack other people's wife and children?"
Zhao Kuo shook his head and said, "You are wrong. The person who attacked your own wife and children is not our Zhao State, but you.
Since you are unwilling to surrender to our Zhao State, your wife and children are naturally prisoners for our Zhao State. As prisoners, their treatment will not be different from other prisoners.
Women will be sent to some mansions to be maids or even sold as slaves, while men will naturally be able to sell them as slaves for life.
This is not only the rule in our Zhao State treating prisoners, but also the rule in your Yan State treating prisoners from the entire China, isn’t it?”
Zhao Kuo's series of rhetorical questions made Le Jian unable to say it, and his body began to tremble.
Zhao Kuo continued to speak casually: "You have to know that the Leshi in Zhao is basically no longer there because of Le Cheng's idiot.
If you still insist on not surrendering so strongly, the Le family of Yan State will be destroyed from now on.
Do you really want to let your wife and children suffer such great pain because of your own selfishness, and let your family completely disappear from our Chinese history?"
Zhao Kuo's rhetorical questions became more and more sharp, and the trembling of his body during the joy became more and more obvious.
Zhao Kuo stared at Lejian and knew that it was time to launch the last total attack: "Okay, today is your last chance.
If you really want to refuse to surrender, then I will go back and report to the king immediately and ask him to execute you tomorrow, which is also to satisfy your wish. How about it?"
This sentence finally completely defeated the psychological defense line of Lejian.
