Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

It’s over.

It's all over.

Now, no matter how unwilling Fan Sui is to believe it, he has to admit this fact.

After the Battle of Changping, Qin once again suffered a crushing defeat in the Battle of Hedong County.

What a failure!

Fan Sui stood there dumbfounded, without moving at all, as if he had aged ten years all of a sudden.

Before starting this war against Chu, Fan Sui knew very well in his heart that the outcome of this war would most likely determine whether Fan Sui, the Xiangbang, could continue to work.

Now with the defeat of this battle, Fan Sui is basically completely cold.

Cool.

With Zheng Anping's betrayal, even if Wang He could perform a miracle, defeating the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces at Wancheng first, and then go north to defeat the Three Jin Allied Forces led by Lian Po, Fan Sui would also be completely cold.

Because Zheng Anping, who led Anyi to surrender to Zhao, is Fan Sui's man!

You must know that it was because of Zheng Anping's recommendation that Fan Sui met Wang Ji, who was still a visitor of the Qin Kingdom, and was brought back to Xianyang by Wang Ji, and introduced to Qin Wangji.

Wang Ji and Zheng Anping can be said to be Fan Sui's two benefactors and nobles on the road to soaring to the sky, so Fan Sui also gave them generous rewards after his fortune.

But these two people who had helped Fan Sui and changed Fan Sui's fate, betrayed Qin State one after another after Fan Sui recommended them as prefects and generals, and fell into the embrace of Zhao State!

Fan Sui let out a long sigh, his heart was full of unconcealable bitterness and loneliness.

"I am ashamed of the king, ashamed of Qin!"

Because of this, when the courier delivered Wang Lu's second urgent report two hours later, Fan Sui was not even in the mood to open the urgent report.

Fan Sui finally opened the urgent report.

The content of this second urgent report is actually very simple, and it also verified Fan Sui and Qin Wangji's previous worries.

Wei Wuji did lead the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms to Wancheng in time, and at the same time delayed Wang Yan's troops from going north to help.

Although Wang Lu still has more than 20 soldiers in his hands, Wei Wuji also has more than 15 troops. Although the number is not as large as Wang Lu, there is still no problem in keeping Wang Lu in check.

After reading the urgent report, Fan Sui was silent for a long time.

Qin Wangji was not in a coma for too long, after only a few hours, when it was almost dusk, Qin Wangji woke up.

After waking up after waking up, Qin Wangji sent someone to tell Fan Sui this sentence.

"Immediately go to see King Zhao, and say that the widow wants to make peace with him immediately, go!"

This order was not beyond Fan Sui's expectation, but when Fan Sui heard this order, his heart was inevitably filled with bitterness.

Originally thought that the time to fight back would finally come, and finally this proud and shameless Zhao Wangdan could bear the taste of failure.

But Fan Sui never imagined that he fell from the peak to the bottom so quickly.

Since Zhao State started to join this war, Anyi, or in other words, Hedong has become a place that absolutely cannot be lost.

After losing Hedong County, Qin State had no capital to continue to resist in this war, and could only seek peace with Zhao State in humiliation.

If Qin State does not seek peace at this time, then the more than 20 Sanjin coalition forces led by Lian Po may even cross the Yellow River directly to attack Guanzhong and surround Xianyang, the capital of Qin State.

Without Wang Lu's main force, Qin could not even defend Guanzhong!

In a sense, Qin's failure this time is somewhat similar to that time Kuangzhang led the Qi, Wei and Han allied forces to break through Hangu Pass decades ago.

At that time, the army led by Kuang Zhang was also eyeing Xianyang, and had the ability to surround Xianyang.

But fortunately, in the end, Mengchang Juntian, the prime minister of Qi State at that time, gave up his plan to continue attacking Qin State because he was afraid that Han Wei would take advantage of the situation to rise.

Almost two generations after that failure, Xianyang, the capital of Qin, was finally once again exposed to the vanguard of other countries.

In that failure, Qin Wangji also had to cede land and pay compensation, and finally let the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms retreat.

But this time, the enemy standing in front of King Ji of Qin is no longer the proud and arrogant King Qi Min, but Zhao Dan, the king of Zhao who has just ascended the throne for only a few years.

It was precisely because of the short-sightedness of King Qi Min and Lord Mengchang that Qin was able to recover quickly after a big defeat.

This time, will Zhao Dan make the same mistakes as King Qi Min and Lord Mengchang?

To be honest, Fan Sui didn't have any confidence in his heart.

But no matter what, the most important thing right now is of course to carry out the tasks ordered by Qin Wangji.

So Fan Sui immediately sent an envoy to the Zhao State Camp to ask to see Zhao Dan.

The envoys go fast and come back quickly.

The reason why he came back so quickly was because the envoy didn't see Zhao Dan at all, and was directly blasted out at the gate of Zhao Guo's camp.

After Fan Sui heard the aggrieved envoy's unreasonable accusation against Zhao Dan, he signaled the envoy to back down.

After the envoy retreated, Fan Sui's face became much gloomy.

There is of course a reason why Qin Wangji wanted to send envoys to discuss peace with Zhao Dan so quickly.

However, judging from Zhao Dan's current performance, it is obvious that Zhao Guo has already known the news from Anyi, and may even know it earlier than the Qin people.

In this way, the possibility of Qin Wangji and Fan Sui wanting to use such a short period of time to negotiate a time difference and strive for the maximum possible escape from Qin has completely disappeared.

Fan Sui thought for a long time, and finally heaved a long sigh and stood up: "In that case, then I will go to see King Zhao myself."

There was no way to do this, since a small envoy proved to be unqualified, so Fan Sui, Xiangbang of the Qin Kingdom, could only do it himself.

Soon, Fan Sui led his entourage to the outside of Zhao Guo's camp.

In front of Fan Sui was the tightly closed gate of the Zhao State camp, and many vigilant Zhao State soldiers behind the camp.

"Who is in front, please report your name!"

Fan Sui said loudly: "Please report to King Zhao, Fan Sui begs to see you!"

Fan Sui felt that his personal visit could be said to be very sincere, and Zhao Dan should be satisfied enough.

As long as Zhao Dan can be stabilized, even if Hedong County is lost, there is still room for improvement in the whole matter.

Moreover, after a short period of frustration, Fan Sui suddenly felt that if he managed this matter well, then the position of Xiangbang might not have turned around.
