The most powerful fool system

　When I see that Guo Jia again tomorrow, I will ask him to redeem General Zhou.

　Now, I'm tired and going to rest, you go out first. "

　Chen Ping waved to Zhou Geng with a tired look on his face.

　"No, Mr. Chen, I will go out first with my humble position."

　The General Zhou mentioned by Chen Ping was actually Zhou Bo who was captured by Xu Feng when Liu Bang attacked Qin for the first time more than two years ago.

　At that time, Xu Feng was happy for Zhou Bo as a prisoner for several days.

　You know, Zhou Bo is the most resourceful general around Liu Bang.

　At the same time, Zhou Bo was also one of the old people who followed Liu Bang, and he was really loyal to Liu Bang.

　After Zhou Bo was captured by the Qin army, he was imprisoned in the prison in Xianyang. Xu Feng went to persuade him to surrender, but Zhou Bo was not moved at all.

　Later, Xu Feng moved Zhou Bo out of the prison, gave him a separate courtyard, and even gave him some freedom, and visited him from time to time, hoping to influence Zhou Bo to return to Daqin.

　But it's a pity that Xu Feng didn't have the aura of domineering, and Zhou Bo's loyalty to Liu Bang was even more unshakable.

　For two full years, Zhou Bo would rather endure the boring life of captivity, give up all his talents and not display them, and he would not let go and surrender to Daqin to work for Xu Feng.

　In the end, Xu Feng was also annoyed, since Zhou Bo refused to work for Daqin.

　Then Xu Feng would never let him go. If such a wise and brave general became his enemy, it would be terrible.

　Even, for a period of time, Xu Feng repeatedly bumped into Zhou Bo's side, and Xu Feng was so angry that he almost ordered Zhou Bo to be killed.

　But in the end, Xu Feng still valued Zhou Bo's ability, and he had no illusions about subduing Zhou Bo, so he didn't kill him.

　Prior to this, Liu Bang and Da Qin were simply incompatible. The two sides fought countless battles in the Hanzhong area.

　In this case, even if Liu Bang knew that Zhou Bo was not dead and was imprisoned in Xianyang by Xu Feng, there was nothing Liu Bang could do.

　Liu Bang didn't capture any generals of the Qin army, otherwise he could have exchanged Zhou Bo with Xu Feng.

　But this time, with Han Xin taking the lead and proposing an alliance of three families to attack Xiang Yu, Liu Bang released his goodwill, which greatly eased the relationship between Qin and Han.

　This made Liu Bang want to redeem Zhou Bo from Xu Feng's hands.

　This time, when Chen Ping came to Xianyang, besides the alliance of the three families, another important task was to persuade Xu Feng to agree to redeem Zhou Bo.

　It's a pity that in the past two days, Chen Ping was really angry with Guo Jia, so he didn't care about Zhou Bo's affairs.

　Zhou Geng, the Han general who escorted Chen Ping all the way to Xianyang, was a relative of Zhou Bo's clan, but Chen Ping cared more about whether Zhou Bo could be redeemed.

　The next day, Chen Ping met with Guo Jia again to negotiate, and Chen Ping was already bored.

　Guo Jia was still the same as before, insisting that he would not let go of the conditions he proposed. For such a harsh request from Guo Jia, Chen Ping would not dare to agree to it even if he was beaten to death.

　Immediately, Chen Ping simply stopped discussing these things with Guo Jia, anyway, there would be no results if the talks continued.

　Chen Ping took the opportunity to propose to Guo Jia, hoping to redeem Zhou Bo's intention.

　"General Zhou?"

　When Chen Ping made this request suddenly, Guo Jia was also taken aback.

　For Zhou Bo, Guo Jia naturally knew about it, and Xu Feng often took him to Zhou Bo's house in the past two years.

　But it was a pity that every time Xu Feng returned without success, Zhou Bo didn't give Xu Feng any face at all, and had no intention of surrendering to Daqin at all.

　It was difficult for Guo Jia to know Zhou Bo.

　"You want to redeem General Zhou?"

　Guo Jia looked at Chen Ping with a strange expression.

　"Yes, back then my lord was also deceived by Xiang Yu and others to attack Xianyang, causing General Zhou to be captured by your army.

　Now that our two families have formed an alliance, we hope that His Majesty Qin Huang will be merciful and let General Zhou come back to show the goodwill between the two families.

　After all, General Zhou is my lord's brother, and it is important that Emperor Qin agree to let General Zhou come back.

　My lord is willing to give up the five cities south of Nanyang as a thank you. "

　Chen Ping was also thick-skinned and said this to Guo Jia.

　Guo Jia pouted in his heart, admiring Chen Ping's 'shameless' even more.

　At the same time, Guo Jia was also extremely shocked. He did not expect that Liu Bang was willing to use the five cities south of Nanyang County as a bargaining chip in exchange for Zhou Bo.

　Moreover, Guo Jia also knew that Xu Feng attached great importance to Zhou Bo.

　For the past two years, he has been trying to subdue Zhou Bo and let him work for Daqin, but unfortunately he has not succeeded.

　Therefore, Guo Jia did not dare to agree to Chen Ping's request for redemption.

　"Okay, I will report to His Majesty the envoy Chen's request."

　"Then there will be Master Laoguo."

　Afterwards, Guo Jia went to Xianyang Palace and met Xu Feng in Zhangtai Palace.

　"Feng Xiao, why are you here today? Did the negotiation with Chen Ping go well?"

　Seeing Guo Jia's arrival, Xu Feng put down the brush in his hand, stopped correcting the memorial, and asked Guo Jia with a smile.

　"Your Majesty, don't you ask this question knowingly? Of course it is impossible to talk about it.

　This matter, we have to wait for you and Liu Bang to meet in person. After reaching an agreement, Chen Ping and I can talk about it, otherwise it will be useless. "

　Guo Jia shrugged and said casually.

　"Then you come here now, do you have something to report? Or do you want to ask for Baihua wine again?"

　"No way, what does His Majesty think of this humble minister?"

　Guo Jia blushed when Xu Feng said this. He did come to Xu Feng's palace a lot, just to drink.

　But immediately, Guo Jia told Xu Feng that Chen Ping wanted to redeem Zhou Bo.

　"Oh? Chen Ping proposed to redeem Zhou Bo? Are you willing to exchange five cities including Deng County in Nanyang County?"

　After hearing Guo Jia's narration, Xu Feng was also a little surprised.

　"Yes, Your Majesty, that's what Chen Ping said."

　"It's been two years, yet Liu Bang hasn't given up on Zhou Bo yet.

　It seems that Liu Bang has also received news in Shuzhong that Zhou Bo was not killed by me, nor did he surrender to me.

　That's why Chen Ping took this opportunity to ask me for redemption. "

　Xu Feng said with a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

　"Your Majesty, are you going to agree?"

　Guo Jia asked.

　"Of course not."

　Xu Feng said without the slightest hesitation.

　"Forehead……"

　Xu Feng's quick answer surprised Guo Jia a little.

　Guo Jia didn't expect that Xu Feng would reject Liu Bang's five-city bargaining chip, and he was unwilling to let Zhou Bo leave.

　"Your Majesty, is Zhou Bo really so important? He won't change in five cities?"

　Guo Jia had never seen how powerful Zhou Bo was, so he asked Xu Feng curiously.

　"Hehe, let alone five cities, even ten cities, Liu Bang will not agree to let him redeem Zhou Bo."

　Xu Feng sneered and said.

　"Feng Xiao, you may not know Zhou Bo well, but he is a man of great general.

　Now if he is put back to Liu Bang's side, it is tantamount to making Liu Bang even more powerful.

　Zhou Bo's ability cannot be exchanged for just five cities.

　Otherwise, do you think Liu Bang is really an idiot for offering such a big bargaining chip?

　In the future, if we go to war with Liu Bang, Zhou Bo will pose a huge threat to us.

　Therefore, I would rather not have the Five Cities of Nanyang, and never let Zhou Bo return to Liu Bang's side. "Xu Feng said firmly.

　"It's a pity, Zhou Bo is too stubborn, and he is even more loyal to Liu Bang. Your Majesty has not been able to subdue him for more than two years.

　If he can be allowed to return to the Great Qin, His Majesty will have one more general under his command. "

　Guo Jia also said with a little regret.

　"Haha, Fengxiao, be patient when doing things, maybe there will be a turnaround soon."

　At this time, Xu Feng smiled mysteriously.

　"Huh? What's the turning point?"

　After Guo Jia saw Xu Feng's meaningful smile, he knew that there was a secret in the matter, and asked curiously.

　Xu Feng didn't intend to hide it from Guo Jia, and immediately said: "I once gave Zhou Bo a maid to take care of his daily life.

　At first, Zhou Bo was still very resistant, but as time went by, the maid took care of him sincerely and without complaint, and the stone was warmed.

　Therefore, Zhou Bo and that maid are not husband and wife now, but they are better than husband and wife.

　Even, two months ago, I just got the news that the maid was pregnant.

　According to reports from the people I placed next to Zhou Bo to monitor, during this period of time Zhou Bo changed from his previous decadence and became energetic.

　And half a month ago, Zhou Bo even went to the Yamen to work as a petty official.

　Now, do you still think that it is impossible for me to surrender Zhou Bo? "

　As he said that, the smile on Xu Feng's face became even stronger.

　"Haha, Your Majesty, you are so clever!

　Once Zhou Bo had a wife and children in Xianyang, it would be tantamount to having attachment, which might make him change his mind. "

　After listening to it, Guo Jia also praised it.

　"Go back and tell Chen Ping that General Zhou Bo has surrendered to our Great Qin, and now he is an official of our Great Qin, and he has nothing to do with them anymore."

　"No, I understand."

　"Also, Jin Da, let the people who monitor Chen Ping be sure not to let them see Zhou Bo in private.

　Now is a critical period, if Chen Ping's people are allowed to see Zhou Bo, something may happen. "

　Thinking of this, Xu Feng turned his head to Jin Da who was at the side, and ordered.

　"No, don't worry, Your Majesty, I will go down and make arrangements."

　"Well, let's go."

　"What, His Majesty rejected our request to redeem General Zhou? Why?"

　When Guo Jia saw Chen Ping again and told Xu Feng to reject their redemption request, Chen Ping was also stunned.

　"Is your Majesty dissatisfied with the conditions we offered? That's five cities with 10,000+ people!"

　Chen Ping really couldn't figure out how Xu Feng could refuse such a generous redemption condition.

　You know, before Chen Ping came, he had done enough homework.

　Although the people they secretly sent to Xianyang couldn't get in touch with Zhou Bo, they also knew that Zhou Bo had never surrendered to Daqin in the past two years and was kept under house arrest by Xu Fengban.

　It was precisely because of this that Chen Ping asked Xu Feng to redeem Zhou Bo this time.

　Originally, at the beginning, Chen Ping only planned to open three cities to redeem people, but later Chen Ping added two more cities.

　Changing five cities for one person, Chen Pingyuan thought, was a sure thing, and there could be no accidents.

　However, to his surprise, Xu Feng refused.

　"Chen Shi, you may not know something, it's not that your redemption conditions are not enough.
