Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Page 462

Both Zheng Zhu and Su Dai were very convinced that Wei Wuji would succumb to this trump card.

This is not to say that these two people together can crush Wei Wuji, but because these two scheming strategists are very clear in their hearts, under the current extremely passive situation of Wei State, what Wei Wuji can do The options are actually very limited.

To put it bluntly, negotiating also requires capital. With Wei Guo and Wei Wuji now, how much capital do they have to bargain with Zhao Guo?

Being able to support until now and not surrendering is all due to Wei Wuji's own ability. Another person might have signed a humiliating treaty for land cession and compensation.

There was a dead silence in the big tent.

After a long time, Wei Wuji suddenly said: "Within three days, I want to see the king and all the soldiers and civilians of Wei State who were captured by the Zhao army, not one of them is missing. Besides, the contract between Wei and Zhao must be made by Your Majesty will sign it himself!"

As soon as Wei Wuji finished speaking, Zheng Zhu and Su Dai showed bright smiles on their faces at the same time.

The famous Lord Xinling finally surrendered!

It must be said that at this moment, the smiles of the two ministers of Zhao Guo really looked like two old foxes watching a fat sheep take the bait.

So Zheng Zhu, who had achieved his goal, said with a smile, "Mr. Xinling, then follow what you said."

Chapter 456 Qin Guolai Envoy (First Update)

After reaching this peace talks agreement, everything that followed seemed logical.

Three days later, both Zhao and Wei signed a contract before the battle.

Wei Guo officially ceded the two cities of Anyi and Yecheng to Zhao Guo and Zhao Guo, and at the same time compensated a large amount of money and materials.

Zhao Guo also released all Wei people, including Wei Wangyu, as promised, and removed the encirclement circle around Wei Wuji's troops, allowing Wei people to go south and return to their land.

Both sides have a very tacit understanding and did not mention the alliance of the three Jins.Because both sides are very clear in their hearts, with tens of thousands of lives in Daliang City, the so-called Sanjin Alliance basically exists in name only.

In the next few days, Zhao Dan can be said to be very busy.

The reconstruction of Handan City and the large amount of local government affairs accumulated due to the siege for several months left Zhao Dan with almost no time to rest. He had to work for six or seven hours or even longer every day. Basically not going.

Before we knew it, the summer of 257 BC came quietly.

On this day, Zhao Dan, who was busy in the side hall of Longtai, suddenly heard a news.

The State of Qin sent a delegation to the State of Zhao with Lord Yangquan as the chief envoy and Lu Buwei as the deputy envoy. Now they have arrived in Handan City, hoping to be received by Zhao Dan.

Zhao Dan nodded without any hesitation and said, "Let them get up."

A moment later, Yangquan Lord Michen and Lu Buwei appeared in front of Zhao Dan.

"See Your Majesty." The two saluted Zhao Dan very respectfully.

Zhao Dan smiled kindly, glanced over Lu Buwei's body without a trace, and said to Mi Chen in a very gentle tone: "Mr. Yangquan, please sit down."

After some completely unnutritious greetings and greetings, Zhao Dan asked Mi Chen seemingly inadvertently: "I heard that the Chu army is attacking Wuguan these days. I don't know how the battle is going?"

As soon as Zhao Dan opened his mouth, a trace of resentment appeared on Mi Chen's face.

Judging from Mi Chen's expression, this is actually not aimed at Zhao Dan, but at the Chu State who took advantage of the fire.

Mi Chen said to Zhao Dan: "Your Majesty, to tell you the truth, our army has fought many times with the Chu army in Wuguan. In my opinion, Your Majesty should hear the news of Qin's success soon."

Hearing this, Zhao Dan couldn't help but look at Mi Chen more, feeling a little surprised in his heart.

Although it is said that Chu State has basically never won against Qin State in the past few decades, Qin State has just suffered a big defeat at the hands of Zhao State, and Qin Wangji is very unfortunate at this time. Dead, it should be said that morale is very low.

Under such circumstances, where did Mi Chen have the confidence to be sure that Qin would win?

Of course, Zhao Dan was not ignorant of Qin's intelligence.

According to the information fed back from Hu Yiwei from Qin State, the current Prince Regent of Qin State, Zhao Zhu, has appointed a young man named Wei Liao as the chief general, and is leading the main force of the Qin Army and the people of Chu State in the Wuguan area. fight.

Of course, the name Wei Liao is no stranger to Zhao Dan, but Zhao Dan also knows very well in his heart that Wei Liao actually showed his brilliance only two or thirty years later, that is, during the period of Qin Shihuang.

Could it be that Wei Liao, like Li Mu, is also the kind of talented player who can make a big career at a young age?

Thinking of this, Zhao Dan glanced at Lu Buwei unconsciously, but saw that Lu Buwei also nodded slightly, apparently agreeing with Mi Chen's opinion.

This made Zhao Dan's heart flutter slightly. It seems that the people of Qin State are really confident. Could it be that there is something hidden that few people don't know?

But Zhao Dan also knew that even if he kept asking, Mi Chen probably wouldn't reveal anything else, so he changed the subject and said with a smile, "Mr. Yangquan, why are you here?"

After some conversation, Zhao Dan quickly understood the purpose of the Qin Mission.

Because he is still in mourning, although Zhao Zhu, Prince of Qin, is already the actual ruler of Qin, he has not yet ascended the throne as king.

This time Zhao Zhu sent Lord Yangquan to Handan, mainly hoping to temporarily sign a non-aggression treaty with Zhao State, as if Qin State was concentrating on dealing with Chu State.

Zhao Dan can also understand the worries of the people of Qin. After all, Zhao is an ally of Chu. Now that the trouble in Handan has been resolved, even if Zhao will not attack Qin again, he only needs to send a team of 5 people. If the troops of the Qin State attacked and harassed the State of Qin, that would be enough for the people of the State of Qin to drink a pot.

Of course, the envoy Mi Chen did not come empty-handed. Along with the letter of the state of Qin, there was also a long list, which was full of gifts that dazzled Zhao Dan. Obviously, it cost a lot of money.

Zhao Dan glanced at the list of gifts, pondered for a moment and then smiled at Mi Chen: "Mr. Yangquan must have been very tired after a long journey. Why don't you rest in Handan for a few days, the widow has already arranged a place for you How about having a banquet with you in two days?"

Mi Chen obviously also knew very well that it would be quite difficult to get Zhao Dan to make any promises based on this meeting, but the Yangquan Lord still said: "Your Majesty, before going on an envoy, An Guojun told you Yuchen, as long as the king is willing to form a friendship with Qin, then Qin is willing to marry the princess to the king, so as to form a good relationship between Qin and Jin."

After Zhao Dan heard these words, the expression on his face also changed slightly.

This is not to say that Zhao Dan can't walk when he hears a woman, but Zhao Dan thinks that Qin Guo even used the trick of making a kiss. It seems that the desire for peace is really urgent.

As the saying goes, you can know the work from the small, and from this point, you can see that Zhao Zhu and his father, the deceased King Qin Zhaoxiang, have very different styles.

Soon, Mi Chen and Lu Buwei got up and left.

Wait until the two leave.Miao Xian appeared in front of Zhao Dan silently.

Zhao Dan asked Miao Xian, "Do you have any information?"

Miao Xian nodded slightly, and whispered to Zhao Dan: "Your Majesty, according to the secret report brought by Lu Buwei, the Qin people have quietly appointed Bai Qi as the main general to fight against the Chu army. The so-called young Gradually, Wei Liao is actually just a cover."

Zhao Dan's body shook slightly, and the original expression appeared on his face: "The widow said, why is this Qin countryman so confident? It turns out that Lord Wu An has come out of the mountain again."

For Bai Qi's comeback, Zhao Dan was actually quite surprised.

After all, as a time traveler, Zhao Dan is of course very aware of Bai Qi's power, but according to the trend of history, Bai Qi should have been killed by Qin Wangji in 257 BC, which is this year.

Obviously, after history was changed by Zhao Dan, everything changed.

For example, although the state of Qin did lose an extremely important person, the one who died was not in vain, but Qin Wangji, who should have died of old age several years later.

Miao Xian asked Zhao Dan: "Your Majesty, should we inform Chu State of this news?"

Zhao Dan shook his head, and said: "The people of Qin are not fools. Since they dare to tell the widows the news, the news of Chu's defeat must be heard within two or three days at most. But it is better to send someone to Chen Ying. Even if it’s just a gesture, it’s good to let the people of Chu take personal favors. Also, tell King Yuan of Chu that the widow will not participate in this battle between Qin and Chu.”
