Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

This

Unexpectedly, Kuang Liang looked quite like his father's general demeanor, but in fact he was a waste, and he couldn't even defend a mere Gaotang City!

In this case, if you want to seek peace from Zhao Guoren, you will inevitably have to pay more.

Or simply cede Gaotang and other places to Zhao Guo?

Anyway, Gaotang used to be the territory of Zhao State before, and now it can barely be said that it has been returned to the original owner.

It's just that this is land cession and compensation, I'm afraid it will make Tian Yan in the country jump up and down, and the king Qi Wangjian probably won't accept it, but he has to find a way.

Not to mention that Hou Sheng had so many thoughts in a blink of an eye, but Zhao Dan looked directly at Hou Sheng with an inexplicable smile on his face: "It's easy to teach Hou Qing that this Wei Wuji has led a few days ago. As the Wei army marched southward along the Great Yeze, we almost arrived at the Gaotang battlefield in terms of time."

"What?" Hou Sheng's expression changed.

Zhao Dan looked at Hou Sheng meaningfully, and the certain meaning in his eyes made Hou Sheng feel shuddering: "Qi Wang Jian kept saying that he wanted to seek peace with the widows, but he dragged the people of Wei into the war to make peace. The widow resists, but the widow would like to ask Hou Qing, what is the intention of King Jianxing of Qi's move?"

Hou Sheng was really messed up this time.

Before setting off, Hou Sheng had put in a lot of hard work, and he had also made preparations for Zhao Dan's various questions. This can be seen from the fact that Hou Sheng was able to reply very quickly and fluently to Zhao Dan's few questions just now. come out.

But the problem is that Wei Wuji led his troops to the south, Hou Sheng didn't think of it at all!

On this question, Hou Sheng and Kuang Liang, who was far away in Gaotang City, were in agreement.

In the previous Handan Defense War, Qi State had just sold Wei State, and it was less than a year now, Wei State would not have taken the opportunity to deceive Qi State, but it would be good to continue to send troops to aid Qi State?

impossible!

But Wei Guoren did such a thing that Hou Sheng and Kuang Liang thought was impossible, so that Hou Sheng was caught off guard by Zhao Dan's question and fell into a passive state.

At this moment, Hou Sheng really had the urge to cover his face.

This question is out of line!

How to be good?

Chapter 498 Each has his own thoughts (second update)

This is really a headache for Hou Sheng.

If he had learned the news before the war started, then it is very likely that Hou Sheng would not have appeared in Handan City or in front of Zhao Dan.

After all, in Hou Sheng's view, with the cooperation of Qi and Wei, how could it be possible to have a relationship with Zhao Guoren for a while?

But this Wei Guoren did not take the usual path!

So now it's a little embarrassing.

Hou Sheng sat there, his face turned from red to white, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

Zhao Dan saw that Hou Sheng was standing there with his whole face like a prawn, he felt a little funny in his heart, waved his hand to Hou Sheng and said: "Hou Qing, I will not make things difficult for you, as long as you can Let the Wei people withdraw from the territory of Qi immediately, then the peace talks can continue. If not, there is no need to talk about this matter."

After Zhao Dan finished speaking, he didn't give Hou Sheng any chance to defend himself, and directly raised his voice: "Seeing off the guests!"

Hou Sheng wanted to continue persuading him, but after hesitating for a while, he could only stand up helplessly and salute Zhao Dan.

"In that case, the foreign minister will retire."

For Hou Sheng, at this time, he really needs to contact Qi State as soon as possible, so as to find out what kind of attitude Qi Wangjian has towards the sudden appearance of Wei State reinforcements.

Only in this way can Hou Sheng decide whether to stay in Zhao Guozhong to seek peace, or to leave proudly.

Looking at Hou Sheng's leaving figure, Zhao Dan showed a smile, and said to several Zhao Guozhong ministers beside him: "What do you think, what is the sincerity of this Qi people's peace negotiation?"

Yu Xin thought for a while and said with a smile: "My lord, in my view, this list of gifts, if nothing else, is already extremely valuable just for He's Bi."

The relationship between Yu Xin and the deceased Lin Xiangru has always been quite good. It is not just a political ally, but also has a lot of personal friendship in it.

Therefore, Yu Xin was very happy from the bottom of his heart that He's Bi, a treasure that had a great relationship with Lin Xiangru, was able to return to the State of Zhao.

On the other side, what Zhao Sheng was thinking about was another question: "Your Majesty, now that Wei and Qi are converging again, wouldn't it be possible that the Qin State would also get involved?"

To be honest, if the three countries Wei, Qi, and Qin continue to fight against Zhao Guo, and Zhao Guo is once again caught in a two-front battle situation, it will be a big trouble for Zhao Guo now.

After all, Zhao State only defeated Qin State on the western front last time. Except for some losses when the armies of Wei State and Qi State attacked Handan City, the overall vitality is still there.

This time Zhao Guo will face the Wei Qi coalition forces with basically complete strength again, the situation is really not optimistic.

Zhao Dan smiled slightly when he heard the words, and waved his hands indifferently: "Don't worry, Mr. Pingyuan, then Zhao Zhu just signed a contract with the widow, and Qin also suffered heavy losses in the last battle, so there is no spare energy to make trouble for the widow of."

As for the fact that Qin State will never send troops, Zhao Dan can be said to be absolutely certain in his heart.

After all, Zhao Dan has the existence of Lu Buwei, a super secret spy who broke into the highest level of Qin State.

Of course, Lu Buwei's identity is now an absolute secret, and even these important ministers of Zhao Guo have no way of knowing it.

Moreover, Zhao Dan did not pin all his hopes on Lu Buwei. After all, once the situation of a covenant changes, it can be torn up at any time.

So Zhao Dan also arranged for two generals, Ju Xin and Li Mu, to guard the southwest and northwest of Zhao State adjacent to Qin State respectively, and also prepared some small "surprises" for the people of Qin State.

In this way, no matter what changes the Qin people make, Li Mu and Ju Xin can cooperate with each other to restrain the Qin people and ensure that the Qin people will not make trouble for Zhao Dan behind their backs.

And if the Qin people really sent troops, then of course Zhao Dan would also send envoys to Chu, the sworn enemy of the Qin people. I believe Chu Wangyuan would be very interested in revenge.

Uncle Li on the side also said: "Your Majesty, I heard that the army of the Yan State has also begun to gather, and will enter the territory of the State of Qi within ten days at the most."

Zhao Dan smiled and nodded, "Exactly."

"Why didn't your lord tell Hou Sheng about this matter? If Hou Sheng only found out about this, he would probably give in immediately."

Zhao Dan laughed: "Li Qing doesn't know something. The reason why I don't tell Hou Sheng about this is to give Hou Sheng a chance to repent. If Hou Sheng and Qi Guo suddenly repent, they don't want to continue Talking about it, then the Yan army going south is a mysterious bargaining chip for the widow. As long as this bargaining chip is used well, it will not only force the people of Qi to return to the negotiating table, but also make the people of Qi who renege on pay more."

"So how can the widow let Hou Sheng know about this?" Zhao Dan's words also revealed a bit of a smile.

Although this plan may not necessarily be successful, the feeling that it might succeed in teasing others still makes Zhao Dan unconsciously feel a kind of evil pleasure.

After a pause, Zhao Dan continued to ask: "How is the Korean side now?"

"Returning to the king, although King Han agreed with all his heart, but the Han army has not sent it now. I am afraid that the Koreans are more or less willing to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight."

Zhao Dan's complexion immediately sank, and he sneered: "Well, he is Han Wangran, he just followed behind the widow and won a few battles, so he doesn't know the north, south, east, and west? The envoy in Xinzheng now Who is it? Immediately write a letter to this envoy, and ask this envoy to tell Han Wangran that if the widow does not hear the news of South Korea's sending troops within five days after the letter arrives, then Han Wangran will wait for the conquest of the widow's army!"

Zhao Dan was indeed a little angry.

In the last battle of Guanzhong, South Korea's reaction was already rough, and it was not until Zhao Jun won a decisive victory in Guanzhong that he was willing to send troops to cooperate with Zhao Guo.

But after the war, Zhao Dan considered that South Korea was also one of the three Jin states, and the relationship between Zhao Guo and Wei Guo was already very tense, so Zhao Dan didn't want to get too stiff with South Korea, so Zhao Dan didn't treat South Korea Any punishment, not even a verbal warning, just quietly took away all the spoils that South Korea should have obtained as a small punishment.
