Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Page 382

The envoy of the Qin Kingdom looked quite young, about thirty years old, wearing a purple suit and a black crown, and bowed respectfully to King Wei: "The foreign minister, Wei Liao, has seen the King of Wei."

Wei Wangyu grunted, and said noncommittally: "I don't know what is the purpose of the envoy's coming?"

Wei Liao said: "The purpose of coming here this time is to relieve Wei State from its crisis."

Wei Wangyu's face moved slightly, and he couldn't help looking at Wei Liao in front of him with some amusement: "Wei Liao, what you said is quite interesting. From my point of view, you are not trying to solve the crisis of Wei, but to understand the crisis of Qin. ?”

Wei Liao said solemnly: "In today's world, Zhao is the only strong country. This is not the difficulty of Qin, but the difficulty of the world. Since Wei is one of the countries in the world, how can it be avoided?"

Duan Ganzi who was on the side suddenly said: "No one in the world knows the alliance of the Three Jins. What the messenger said is too alarmist."

Wei Liao said: "Duan Qing's remarks are absurd. Wei Liao dare to ask Duan Qing, in today's world, is there any alliance between the two countries for more than five years? It is the normal state in all countries. Moreover, Daliang City is so close to Handan, Could it be that Zhao Wangdan didn't have any fear in his heart? Besides, Wei Liao had heard that Lord Xinling's attack on Tao County did not please King Zhao, and King Zhao must have held grudges in his heart. All three of these, the ones of the Three Jin Dynasties The alliance should not be as stable as Duan Qing said."

Duan Ganzi snorted and stopped talking.

Seeing that Duan Ganzi had been refuted, Wei Liao did not take advantage of the victory to pursue him, but continued to say to King Wei, "Your Majesty, the state of Zhao is now ambitious and wants to swallow up the world. If the princes of the world do not fight against Zhao, they will wait until they are killed by the state of Zhao." The day each one is defeated, it will be too late for regret!"

When Wei Liao said these words, his face was extremely serious, and his words were very serious.

Wei Wangyu pondered for a while, then looked at Wei Wuji and Duan Ganzi on the left and right.

Wei Wuji nodded slightly, but Duan Ganzi kept shaking his head.

Wei Wangyu sighed, and said to Wei Liao: "The envoy, please go to the side hall to rest for a while, and make a decision after the widow discusses with the two Qing families."

Wei Liao stood up and left the hall after paying a salute to King Wei.

As soon as Wei Liao left, Duan Ganzi couldn't wait to speak.

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, it is really inappropriate to withdraw from the Three-Jin Alliance. Not to mention that the distance between Zhao and Wei is so close, and since joining the Three-Jin Alliance, Wei has always won every battle, and if he wins, he will gain land .If you betray the alliance and make Zhao the enemy, I'm afraid there will be no such good things."

The expression on Wei Wangyu's face did not change after hearing this, obviously something moved in his heart.

Seeing this, Wei Wuji couldn't help coughing, and said slowly, "Your Majesty, from my point of view, this even Qin matter is imminent and imperative!"

"Oh?" Wei Wangyu frowned, and said to Wei Wuji, "Why?"

To be honest, the current Wei Wangyu is also a little confused.

You must know that Duan Ganzi has always been a supporter of Lian Qin Kangzhao, and Wei Wuji is a supporter of Lian Zhao Poqin. Why are the two people's attitudes completely opposite today?

Wei Wuji said: "Your Majesty, the reason why I hoped that Your Majesty would unite Zhao against Qin was because Qin was strong and Zhao was weak at that time. Now that Your Majesty is invited to unite Qin to resist Zhao, it is because Zhao is strong and Qin is weak."

Duan Ganzi snorted heavily, and said with a sneer: "Absurd! Since Zhao Qiang and Qin State, then even Zhao Bendang will win, why bother to unite with Qin State, and fight this undecided battle with Zhao State! And Anyi is now In the east of the river, if there is a war with Zhao, how can Anyi be defended?"

Wei Wuji glanced at Duan Ganzi, and also sneered, saying: "Ignorance! In today's world, there is no other country that can contain Zhao, except Qin. If Qin is defeated by Zhao, what else is there in the world?" Can the country resist? As for Anyi, it’s just a city, so what’s the point if it can’t be defended? As long as Zhao is successfully defeated, why not worry about Zhao’s return to Anyi?”

Duan Ganzi said: "It's ridiculous! Since the division of the three families into the Jin Dynasty, the hegemony has taken turns to sit on the throne, but there has never been a country that can dominate the world for more than 50 years. Even if this Zhao country is powerful for a short time, why should it be afraid? The current plan should be Concentrate on how to make Wei more powerful, rather than getting involved in the struggle between Qin and Zhao!"

Wei Wuji said: "Stupid! The general trend of the world, is it that you don't want to participate if you don't want to participate? And now the four directions of Wei State are either Zhao State or Zhao State's allies, but you said that if you want Wei State to change If you want to become stronger, which country should you conquer?"

"Enough!" Wei Wangyu slapped the table heavily and said angrily, "Silence everyone!"

Wei Wuji and Duan Ganzi closed their mouths at the same time, but they both looked at each other with obvious displeasure in their eyes.

Wei Wangyu's face was gloomy, and he yelled at the two: "You and the other two are the right-hand men of the widow, can't they live in harmony and work together for the revival of the Wei country?"

Wei Wuji and Duan Ganzi remained silent, but anyone could tell from their expressions that it would be more difficult than ascending to heaven for these two people to get along in harmony.

Wei Wangyu didn't pay any attention to the two of them, and thought for a moment, then said decisively: "In my opinion, both Zhao Wangdan and Qin Wangji are arrogant and rude, no matter whether it is Qin or Zhao, A good friend of the Wei State! But the national policy of our Wei State has always been to help the weak and eliminate the strong. Otherwise, the Wei State is located in the Central Plains, how can it survive in the cracks between so many powerful countries? The widows have made a decision, and this time they will secretly unite with the Qin State. Reverse the alliance of the Three Jins!"

When Wei Wangyu spoke, his voice was very decisive, revealing a decisive meaning.

Duan Ganzi opened his mouth, although he wanted to continue persuading him, but he knew that no matter what he said, it would be useless, so he could only lower his head: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Duan Ganzi left Miyagi unhappily, and returned to his mansion, sitting in the study sullenly.

A beautiful figure swept in from the door with a fragrant wind, and it turned out to be a pretty woman.

The woman saluted Duan Ganzi and said softly: "I have met the Patriarch, why is the Patriarch so unhappy?"

Duan Ganzi looked up and saw that it was his new concubine.

This concubine is from the Zhongshan Mountain of Zhao State. Not only is she tall and beautiful, she is also very understanding, so Duan Ganzi is quite fond of her.

Duan Ganzi sighed, and said bitterly: "It's not that damned Wei Wuji who tricked the king into wanting to fight with Qin."

When Duan Ganzi said this, he suddenly felt something, and immediately closed his mouth.

A strange look flashed in the concubine's eyes, but immediately the strange look disappeared from her face, and a gentle smile appeared.

"Patriarch, don't worry, my concubine's father was a witch doctor and taught me a set of massage techniques. Why don't I let my concubine massage for the patriarch?"

"Massage? That's unnecessary." Duan Ganzi smiled, stood up suddenly, hugged the beautiful woman in front of him very rudely, and closed the door smoothly.

Chapter 378 Inspecting the Barracks (Third Change)

Time flies, and before you know it, it has been a whole year since the Battle of Hedong County, and the time has come to the spring of 247 BC.

In the past year, although there were a few small-scale frictions in the entire land of China, generally speaking, the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period maintained a very rare peace.

However, this is actually something that can be expected. After all, in the past two years, the Battle of Changping and the Battle of Hedong County broke out one after another. These two wars have affected almost all countries.

Take the Battle of Hedong County that just passed as an example, Qin State suffered heavy losses in this battle, and although Chu State claimed to be victorious, its actual loss of troops would not be lower than that of Qin State, and it was difficult to be called a winner.

Both countries will need some time to heal.

As for Qi State, although there was such a big victory in the Battle of Lanling, there was also a subsequent big defeat against Yan State, which can only be regarded as a balance of victory and defeat.

Speaking of which, the real big winner is actually only the Three Jin Alliance headed by Zhao Guo. In this war, all the Three Jin Alliances were victorious in expanding their territories and earning a lot of money.

It is precisely because of this that the three Jins have been busy consolidating their rule on the territory of Xinjiang in the past year, and they have no intention of fighting abroad.

Even in Yan Kingdom in the far northern Xinjiang, the political situation is not stable because King Ke of Yan has just ascended the throne after a great battle, and the Queen Mother of Yan is regent. intention to expand abroad.

Under the influence of all these factors, peace has become the main theme of the entire land of China in the past year, which is very rare.

But anyone with a discerning eye knows that only when the seven countries decide a final victor, can true peace come to this land that has suffered hundreds of years of war.

Who can end all this and let the people truly enjoy peace?

Many people turned their attention to Zhao Guo.

On this day, Zhao Dan took many entourages, accompanied by Lian Po and Pang Nuan, two military giants, and made a mighty trip with a guard of honor, and came to the Northern Army camp outside Handan City.

This is not to say that Zhao Dan likes to show off, but after the last assassination incident, Zhao Dan suddenly discovered that there are quite a lot of people in this world who want to die by themselves, so the necessary protection is also indispensable. Or missing.

But this is not surprising, after all, Zhao Guo is now the most powerful country in the world, and it has firmly suppressed all countries. It can be said that it already has the feeling that Qin Guo was the enemy of the world.
