Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

You must know that when Qin’s monarchs and ministers made plans at the beginning, they originally wanted to turn this battle against Chu into a blitzkrieg, defeating Chu in one fell swoop in a short period of time, so that it was too late for Zhao to send troops to rescue Chu. end the entire war.

It turned out to be better now, Zhao State didn’t even send troops to assist Chu State on the western front, but Qin State still couldn’t chew on Chu State, a weak bone that had been beaten by Qin State in the past few decades!

"Tell me, tell me, what's going on!"

Today, Prince Zhao Zhu of the Qin State took leave of absence for recuperation due to his physical discomfort, so the ministers of the Qin State present looked at each other in blank dismay, and finally cast their eyes on Xiangbang Fan Sui.

Fan Sui coughed, and went out to play: "Your Majesty, I heard that the King of Chu Yuan made high-ranking officials and honors to stimulate the morale of the soldiers of Chu State in Wancheng, and it is not easy to attack the city in the cold weather today. It can only increase the casualties of the generals of the Great Qin."

In fact, it's not that Fan Sui wants to play against Qin Wangji, the siege in winter is already a very difficult thing.

Qin Wangqi snorted heavily, waved her hands impatiently and said: "Before the expedition, I heard that's not the case! I don't want to hear the reason and casualties, I only want Wancheng!"

When Qin Wangji said these words, his eyes were about to burst into flames.

In the eyes of this world-renowned monarch, defeating the enemy on the battlefield is the job of the frontline generals. As a monarch, he only needs to coordinate the overall situation and propose goals, and then let the good men of the old Qin people realize it.

In the past decades or even hundreds of years, Qin's model has been very effective. Although there are occasional short-term setbacks, most of the time Qin is the winning side.

It is precisely by relying on this method of accumulating small victories into big victories that Qin was able to grow step by step to the current giant in a snowballing manner.

But suddenly, since the failure of the Battle of Changping, this model that had proven to be mature and reliable suddenly lost its magic power and fell from heaven to dust.

And the giant state of Qin, which grew up relying on this model, also began to show signs of disintegration.

How can this not make Qin Wangji feel anxious?

This is especially true now that the war situation in Hedong County is critical, and the direction of Wancheng in Nanyang County has been unable to open the situation for a long time.

So after saying this, Qin Wangji stared at Fan Sui in front of him, and asked Fan Sui, "Does Mr. Fan have a plan to solve the current crisis?"

Fan Sui thought for a while and said, "In my opinion, Your Majesty can send envoys to Handan to discuss peace with Zhao Wang Dan."

"What?" When Qin Wangji heard this, his eyebrows were almost raised.

For Qin Wangji, the Qinghe meeting last year can be said to be an extremely rare stain and failure in his life.

In that alliance, Zhao Wangdan's arrogant face and aggressive arrogance are still fresh in Qin Wangji's memory, and every time he thinks about it, he gets angry.

It's only been a year, and now Qin Wangji wants to ask Zhao Dan for peace again?

One must know that Zhao Dan's father, King Zhao Hui, had to be a man with his tail between his legs in front of Qin Wangji!

This huge contrast obviously made Qin Wangji unacceptable.

Seeing that Qin Wangji seemed to be angry again, Fan Sui hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty misunderstood, what I mean is to send envoys to Handan first, in the name of negotiating peace to deceive Zhao Guojun and ministers, slow down the pace of Zhao Guoren's march, and serve Nanyang County The battlefield buys time."

It was only then that Qin Wangji realized that the peace proposed by Fan Sui was not a real peace, but a fake one.

I have to say that if it is a fake proposal, then this opinion is actually acceptable.

After all, for Qin Wangji, the most lacking thing now is time, and the fake agreement can just buy some time for Qin Wangji.

Qin Wangji pondered for a while, and agreed with Fan Sui's opinion: "In this case, then send an envoy to Handan. Tell Zhao Wangdan that if Zhao Guo is willing to cease fighting with the widow and let the widow concentrate on dealing with Chu, then the widow will send the envoy to Handan. All the counties were ceded to the State of Zhao! Didn’t Zhao Wangdan never forget Hedong County? Now that he can take over the land of Hedong County without hurting any soldiers, I don’t believe that he is not tempted!”

Anyway, it was just a false agreement, so of course Qin Wangji offered a huge bargaining chip indifferently, trying to make Zhao Dan tempted.

Fan Sui said again: "Your Majesty, now Pujin Pass has been surrounded by tens of thousands of Zhao troops led by Le Cheng, and Pujin Road, the food road leading to Anyi, has been cut off. In my opinion, it is better to change The grain transportation route runs from Yiyang through the Weihan Passage, crosses the Yellow River North and goes up to Anyi, what does Your Majesty think?"

On the south side of Hedong County is the Weihan Passage, which is the Hanoi County of the Qin State. This road is not easy for the army to travel, and it is not a good route to supply food and grass, but there is no other route in the Qin State today.

Qin Wangji pondered for a moment, then suddenly said: "The Yellow River is about to thaw, if there is no Pujin Ferry, how will we be able to transport grain to Hedong County when it thaws?"

Fan Sui also showed a helpless look on his face, and said: "Your Majesty, this is just a stopgap measure. From my point of view, the Hedong County is just trying to delay time, and it is difficult for the Anyi army to defeat the Allied Forces of the Three Jin Dynasties." It's too big, and the right way is to wait for a breakthrough in the Nanyang County battlefield."

Qin Wangji pondered for a moment, and once again agreed with Fan Sui's opinion.

To put it bluntly, the city of Anyi in Hedong County is now full of cannon fodder from the Qin State. It is undoubtedly fanciful to expect this cannon fodder force to defeat the main force of the Three Jin Allied Forces led by the famous general Wu Xinjun Lianpo of the State of Zhao.

Qin Wangji took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Immediately send someone to deliver an order to Wang Yan and Wang Ling. No matter what method is used, they must defeat the Jingyang Department of Chu State within one month. This is an order! If you can’t do it, then the widow will investigate the crime of ineffective leadership!”

Chapter 3 is willing to dedicate five hundred miles of the land of Hedong County to Zhao! (Second more)

Qin Wangji moved very quickly this time.

Only a few days later, the envoy of Qin State came to Handan City.

"Qin Wangji actually sent someone to negotiate peace?" Zhao Dan was quite surprised when he heard the news.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Dan made a decision: "Come here, call all the ministers into the palace, and then bring this messenger in."

As the saying goes, it's good to be courteous first and then soldier.

And Zhao Dan also wanted to see, what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd that Qin Wangji sent this envoy?

A moment later, the envoy sent by Qin Wangji came to Zhao Dan.

This envoy was about forty years old, with a square face and long beard, dressed in formal attire, looking quite serious.

There is a simple sentence to describe it, it is very official.

The messenger bowed to Zhao Dan and said, "Zhao Teng has met King Zhao."

Zhao Teng?

Zhao Dan couldn't help but take a look at the envoy of the Qin State in front of him, it seems that he is still a Qin State envoy.

Zhao Dan said: "I don't know why the messenger came here?"

The envoy of the State of Qin said to Zhao Dan neither humble nor overbearing: "Return to Your Majesty, this minister is here at the order of my King, and I hope to discuss the truce and peace talks with Your Majesty."

"A truce and peace negotiation?" Zhao Dan couldn't help laughing after hearing this.

Qin Wangji would actually admit it?

Not only Zhao Dan, but even several ministers of Zhao Guo who were present smiled.

Look, look, now even the people of Qin are about to be beaten to the point of begging for mercy and negotiating peace.

Our country of Zhao is really too powerful!

Zhao Dan looked at the envoy with great interest, and asked, "I wonder what conditions Qin Wangji intends to negotiate with the widow?"

The envoy said seriously: "Your Majesty, my king wants to sacrifice Hedong County and Zhao."

As soon as this sentence came out, Zhao Dan was shocked immediately.

Not only Zhao Dan, but also several ministers of Zhao Guo who were on the side were also shocked.
