current.
Dafeng, Dayan, Jin, Chu, and Shu.
The five countries formed the Iron Curtain Alliance.
Qin and Qi, on the other hand, were forced to form an alliance.
As for the State of Wu, it remained neutral.
If a war breaks out because of a spy incident.
Then it must be Qi and Qin that declared war on the five countries.
Let’s leave aside the Qi factor.
In the past, Qin would not dare to declare war on either Feng or Yan.
However, as Qin's own national strength grew, many people were no longer afraid of going to war with Feng or Yan.
Therefore, when the ministers in the court learned that spies would be sent to various countries, they went from being at a loss at first to being full of confidence.
In essence, it is the key to a nation's rise.
However, one thing that puzzled the ministers was...
It would be fine if we just sent spies to the enemy country.
Why did Qi and even Wu send spies?
What is going on?
An official expressed this confusion.
Cao Cao pondered for a moment, then said bluntly: "In the eyes of Qin, Wu is a small country, but its strategic significance is far-reaching."
"If Feng and Yan were to send troops against Qin, they could march straight through Wu."
"Your Majesty sent spies to Wu State, probably to keep a firm grasp on Wu State's every move so he can react accordingly."
"Although Qi is an ally of Qin on the surface, it is actually a competitor of Qin in essence."
"If we don't take precautions, they will turn against us and bite us back, which will be enough to bring disaster to our Qin!"
Hearing him say that.
All the officials suddenly understood and nodded in praise:
"As expected of His Majesty, every move you make is so profound and incomprehensible!"
"Yes, now I finally understand why Your Majesty can still make our Great Qin so powerful amidst the constant consumption of the struggles between the great powers!"
"Prime Minister Cao is indeed worthy of his title. For an ordinary person, who would have imagined that His Majesty sending spies to an ally would have such a profound meaning?"
“…”
If Ying Yuan heard what they were talking about, he would probably curse.
He really didn't think so much.
The simple purpose was to make other countries dislike Qin because of the spy incident.
but...
It’s all tears if I talk too much.
-------------------------------------
Afternoon.
Cao Cao suddenly remembered something.
So he went to Xuan Zheng Hall to meet Ying Yuan.
After seeing him, Cao Cao bowed slowly and said:
"Your Majesty, do you think we should send another delegation to Jin while we're sending out the spies?"
Hearing this.
Ying Yuan frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "Why send an envoy to Jin?"
Cao Cao bowed again and said, "Your Majesty, this has two purposes."
"First, they sent out envoys on the surface, but secretly sent out spies to confuse the Jin State."
"Secondly, the former Imperial Censor Guo Kai is still in Jin... Perhaps this envoy can bring Guo Kai back to the country?"
In fact, all the civil and military officials in the court had long intended to do so.
Because let’s not worry about how Guo Kai is as an official or as a person.
But at least he is a minister of Qin!
If you stay in a foreign country like this all the time, you will inevitably be looked down upon by other countries.
If Guo Kai is welcomed back to the country, it will surely inspire the people.
Although all the officials thought so, no one dared to say it.
Because everyone felt that His Majesty could not have forgotten this person.
But why didn't Your Majesty come to rescue him?
Maybe they just felt that Guo Kai was not a good official or a good person, and was not fit for important positions.
So I gave up on him.
But ask yourself, we are all subjects. What if one day you end up like Guo Kai?
How can you not hope that the country you are loyal to will save you?
Therefore, everyone sympathized with Guo Kai.
The reason why Cao Cao chose to mention this matter to Ying Yuan at this critical moment was mainly because he felt.
Ying Yuan sent out spies to gather intelligence from various countries.
Guo Kai had been in Jin for a long time, so perhaps he could understand some of the situation in Jin.
Considering this, perhaps Your Majesty can save Guo Kai?
In fact, if it were not for the wishes of the people, Cao Cao would not have wanted Guo Kai to return to the country.
When Ying Yuan heard this, he immediately fell into deep thought.
If Guo Kai is Heshen, then he must be rescued.
But...Guo Kai has been the Imperial Censor for such a long time, and I have never seen him do anything to frame loyal and honest people.
It seems that the Guo Kai is very different from the one recorded in history.
Therefore, based on this doubt, Ying Yuan has never decided whether to save Guo Kai.
And this time, Cao Cao actually wanted to save Guo Kai. Given Cao Cao's ability to judge people, did he think that Guo Kai was a promising talent?
Thinking of this, Ying Yuan shook his head and rejected it: "Save him? No! Not only can we not save him, but we have to make him stay in Jin forever!"
"However, an embassy must still be sent, but not to rescue him, but to give him money. Ask the Ministry of Revenue to prepare 10,000 taels of gold and give it to him."
"Tell him to stay in Jin State peacefully and not to be attached to his homeland. The moon here may not be rounder than that in Jin State."
After making this decision, Ying Yuan was still complacent.
In this case, isn't it a disguised way of rejecting the influx of talent?
It's obvious at first glance that Guo Kai is not the God of War killer recorded in history. It doesn't matter if he doesn't want him. Just give him some money and let him live out his retirement in Jin State!
