Chapter 511: Zhang Yi Persuades Li Siyuan
In fact, having said that, with Li Keyong's shrewdness, how could he not infer that there was a problem with the silver?
But it wasn’t just a few million taels, but a full ten million taels.
Faced with such a huge amount of money, no one can resist being tempted.
What's more, Li Keyong firmly believed that Emperor Yan Li Shimin could not do without him.
It's just some greed for money, what's the big deal?
However, this little thing made Li Shimin somewhat doubt Li Keyong's loyalty.
What Qin needed was for the Emperor of Yan to become suspicious.
Now, in the Qin army tent.
Dong Zhuo was saying to Zhang Yi, "I know about your deeds. You prevented the alliance between Qi and Feng."
"You have accomplished such a great deed, yet His Majesty has yet to reward you. Do you know why?"
Hearing this, the latter bowed deeply and said, "The rule of our Great Qin is that rewards will be given according to merit only after the war is over."
Dong Zhuo nodded. "Yes, the war is not over yet, but right now, there is an opportunity to end it early."
"You should have heard about Jia Xu's plan, right? Right now, it's missing the most important part."
Zhang Yi clasped his fists and said, "I understand what the Prince of Liang means. Do you want me to persuade Li Siyuan?"
Dong Zhuo laughed heartily and said, "Talking to an intelligent person is straightforward. If you succeed, I will recommend you to become an important official in the court."
"Even if it doesn't work out, if you come back alive, you'll still be a great hero."
Zhang Yi knew that this journey was extremely dangerous.
However, the court needs me, if I don’t stand up.
How can we achieve success?
What's more, there are many talented people in Daqin. If you don't seize the opportunity when it comes, the opportunity will pass you by.
So Zhang Yi decided to go and persuade Li Siyuan.
The latter's camp was only a few dozen miles away from Li Keyong's camp, forming a pincer attack against each other.
But they can also check and balance each other.
When Zhang Yi left the Qin army camp and prepared to move forward.
Zhuge Liang bowed to him and said, "You have accompanied His Majesty here on such a long journey, and before you could even rest properly, you have been entrusted with such an important task by the court..."
"When you return, I hope to have a drink with you."
If Dong Zhuo did not allow Zhang Yi to go, then the person who would most likely go to persuade Li Siyuan would be Zhuge Liang.
Zhang Yi smiled and said, "Mr. Zhuge, please don't give me any notes. I don't want to become the second Lu Tongzhi."
Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang's wisdom impresses me. Why should I offer any advice?"
Zhang Yi smiled without saying anything and left the camp.
He disguised himself as a refugee and tried to sneak into Li Siyuan's tent.
This meeting with the other party is secret and must not be known to others.
When Zhang Yi left, Zhuge Liang declared to his attendant Ma Su:
"If Zhang Yi had not died, he would have become a loyal minister of the Great Qin in the future."
Ma Su asked curiously, "Sir, why do you think so highly of him?"
Zhuge Liang asked, "How many of the Guigu disciples who have come down from the mountain throughout history are mediocre?"
"I already know the details of how Zhang Yi prevented the alliance between Qi and Feng."
"Just wait and see. Within ten years, the name Zhang Yi will be known throughout the nations."
About two days ago.
Zhang Yi, disguised as a refugee, used gold and silver to pave the way for the Yan army soldiers guarding the camp to help him deliver a piece of paper to Li Siyuan.
There were only eight words written on the white paper:
[Father and son are suspicious of each other, but the son surpasses the father]
When Li Siyuan saw these eight words, many thoughts came to his mind.
Then he invited Zhang Yi into the tent.
When Li Siyuan learned the other party's identity, he was shocked.
"You failed to persuade my adoptive father, so you want to persuade me?"
"Do you think I will betray Dayan?"
When Zhang Yi saw that there were only the two of them in the entire tent.
In fact, he already had a plan in mind for persuading the other party to surrender.
After a pause, Zhang Yi slowly said:
"Rather than saying I'm here to persuade you to surrender to the Great Qin, it's better to say I'm here to find a way out for you."
"You should be able to see clearly from the current situation of Qin and Yan that Qin is more powerful than Yan. This is an indisputable fact."
"If you surrender after the Qin Dynasty has destroyed the Yan State, the Qin Dynasty will at most not kill you, but will not give you a high position or generous salary."
"If Yan repels the Qin, once the internal situation of your Yan State stabilizes, your adoptive father, the King of Jin of Yan, will certainly be on guard against you at all times."
"After all, if Emperor Yan Li Shimin wants to dissolve the power of Prince Jin, he can only start with you."
"By then, given King Jin's suspicious nature, he will never allow you to replace him."
"If you surrender to my Great Qin, you will be the future King of Jin, but you will be the King of Jin of my Great Qin."
In fact, it is really simple to persuade someone to do something.
That is, don’t talk about what benefits this matter will bring to yourself, nor talk about what the consequences will be if you do so.
Just stand in his shoes, consider him, help him, and enable him to obtain the benefits that seem to be within his reach.
That's all.
After hearing his long speech, Li Siyuan was slightly moved.
He is an ambitious man.
I don’t want to be controlled by others or die before my ambitions are fulfilled.
"That sounds nice, but didn't you want to recruit my adoptive father in the beginning?"
"After all, you thought of me as a substitute because you failed to recruit my adoptive father, right?"
Li Siyuan asked.
Zhang Yi shook his head decisively and said, "If we really wanted to recruit Li Keyong, we would not let Emperor Li Shimin of Yan know about this."
