Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

The one who came was none other than Wei Wangyu's number one confidant, and now Wei Wuji's number one political enemy in Wei's political arena

Duan Ganzi.

Chapter 521 The Death of Lord Xinling (Third Change)

The moment he saw Duan Ganzi, Wei Wuji suddenly had a very, very bad premonition in his heart.

According to common sense, Duan Ganzi should have been in Taoyi City, or else he should have been at the negotiating table with the people of Zhao. How could he suddenly appear in this city which has already been surrounded by Zhao people? What about Dong'a City, where children don't even want to fly out?

Wei Wuji clenched his fist subconsciously.

Duan Ganzi sat down in front of Wei Wuji with a smile: "Why, Lord Xinling doesn't seem to welcome me?"

Wei Wuji looked at Duan Ganzi, and found that this Duan Ganzi's clothes were neat and clean, and he looked as if he had just come out of the mansion and was about to go to the morning court.

Wei Wuji seemed to understand something.

"Since Duan Qing appears here, the king must have successfully negotiated peace with King Zhao?"

Duan Ganzi nodded with a smile, and said, "Mr. Xinling expected it well, indeed."

Wei Wuji took a deep breath and said, "Then what areas does Your Majesty plan to cede to Zhao?"

Duan Ganzi said: "Chengqiu, Father Kang."

Wei Wuji nodded slightly, and said: "I think this is the reason why Zhao Jun let Duan Qing enter the city. After obtaining Chengqiu and Kangfu's land, the area around Daye Ze was owned by Zhao State. From then on, Zhao State could not only step in Wei, The matter of Qi will allow us to go south to attack Qufu, Xuzhou and other places in the state of Chu, so it is no wonder that King Zhao agreed to such a condition."

Duan Ganzi nodded and said, "Exactly."

Wei Wuji took a deep look at Duan Ganzi, and said in a deep voice, "Duan Qing, you must have contributed to the reconciliation with Zhao Guo? Are you not afraid of leaving a mark on the history books in the future if you cooperate with Zhao Guo people like this? In the name of betraying the country?"

Duan Ganzi's expression changed slightly when Wei Wuji said it, but he immediately returned to normal. He sneered and said, "Traitor? Lord Xinling, Lord Xinling, I would like to ask you, if you hadn't lost the battle on the front line, If one hundred thousand good men of Wei State were to die on the battlefield, even if I wanted to betray the country, where would I start?"

The eyes of the two met in the air, and there was a very obvious disdain and hostility in the eyes.

After a while, Wei Wuji said: "Speaking of which, although the Zhao people are strong, they can only let Duan Qing enter the city. The reason why Duan Qing was able to lead so many people to our city suddenly In the small courtyard, presumably Qi Guo also reached a contract with Zhao Guo?"

Duan Ganzi said with a smile: "Mr. Xinling is really smart. Then why don't you ask Mr. Xinling to guess, what kind of agreement has been reached between Qi and Zhao?"

Wei Wuji thought about it very seriously, and said: "I heard that Yan Guo has also joined Zhao Guo to attack Qi State, but I don't know where Yan's army is now?"

Duan Ganzi said: "The Yan Army has now surrounded Linzi City."

Wei Wuji groaned, and said: "Since this is the case, then King Qi must not be able to keep the land between the Gaotang River."

Duan Ganzi showed a look of admiration on his face, nodded and said: "What Lord Xinling said is true, King Qi has already promised to cede all the Hejian lands including Gaotang to Zhao State."

There was a sudden silence in the room.

After a while, Wei Wuji said again: "South Korea has also sent troops, so presumably there should be some gains."

Duan Ganzi said: "Exactly, Your Majesty has ceded Chaoge to South Korea."

Wei Wuji sighed softly, with a sighing expression on his face, he said: "Cutting up land for peace like this is nothing more than cutting meat to feed tigers, and it can only make the state of Wei weaker. It's really a bad policy, a bad policy."

Duan Ganzi said with a smirk: "If we don't do this, I'm afraid Tao Yi will follow in the footsteps of Daliang City."

"Taoyi?" Wei Wuji was stunned for a moment, and said, "Taoyi's terrain is much higher than that of Liangcheng. Even if the people of Zhao State were to flood it, as long as the city is prepared in advance, it will definitely not be destroyed like Daliangcheng." Submerged. As long as other countries hear the news, they will send troops to rescue, and then Taoyi will be able to turn the crisis into safety."

Duan Ganzi snorted, and said: "What Lord Xinling said is simple, but I want to ask, if Taoyi is really broken by Zhao people, will Lord Xinling be able to bear this responsibility?"

Wei Wuji was silent.

After a long while, Wei Wuji said again: "Duan Qing must come here this time to take my head and present it in front of the king, right?"

Duan Ganzi froze for a moment.

After just a few breaths, the expression on Duan Ganzi's face suddenly became relaxed.

"Since Mr. Xinling had a premonition, it will save me a lot of trouble. Come here, let's serve wine!"

Soon, a very exquisite bronze wine bar was placed in front of Wei Wuji.

There are many simple and complicated patterns engraved on the outer wall of the wine bar, and it is obvious at a glance that it is a precious thing. The fine wine in the cup is red, and at a glance, it seems that blood is in the wine bar, which has a strange feeling.

Duan Ganzi pointed at Jiujue: "Mr. Xinling, please stop."

Wei Wuji didn't immediately pick up the wine in front of him, but first glanced at Duan Ganzi: "What do you want to say to me, Your Majesty?"

Duan Ganzi said solemnly: "Your Majesty ordered me to bring Lord Xinling: If you are a brother and the widow is a younger brother, it may be the great fortune of the Wei Kingdom! What happened today was not what the widow wanted, but it had to be done."

Wei Wuji listened to Duan Ganzi's words quietly, without any expression on his face.

After a while, Wei Wuji suddenly said: "If I die, why should the king explain to Wei's subjects?"

Duan Ganzi said: "Mr. Xinling fought bravely, was injured by arrows on the battlefield, and died of illness in Dong'e City due to his serious injuries."

Wei Wuji raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "Is it such a simple reason?"

Duan Ganzi said: "Exactly."

Wei Wuji asked again: "Can my wife's small family survive?"

Duan Ganzi nodded and said: "Mr. Xinling sacrificed himself for the country, whether it is the king or I, all respect him, how can he harm his loyal wife and children, and do things that thousands of people despise?"

Hearing this, the expression on Wei Wuji's face seemed to relax a little, and he said again: "Zhong Cheng is a strong general, if he is used well, he should be able to make contributions to Wei Guo in the future, I hope Duan Qing can speak in front of the king and save Zhong Cheng Become a life."

Duan Ganzi hesitated for a moment, and then said: "That's fine. I will speak before the king, but the life and death of this person must be decided by the king, and I can't guarantee anything else."

Wei Wuji nodded.

Duan Ganzi took a deep look at Wei Wuji, and said slowly: "If there is nothing else, Lord Xinling will invite you."

Wei Wuji picked up the exquisite bronze wine jug in front of him, which looked like a work of art, stared at the blood-red wine in the jug, and sighed long.

"If you want to serve the country, but you can't turn back to heaven, what can you do, what can you do!"

Holding the jue in his hand, he jerked his head up and drank the poisoned wine in one gulp.

Duan Ganzi was sitting opposite Wei Wuji, watching all this quietly, with a rather complicated expression on his face, which seemed to be relaxed and somewhat regretful.

Duan Ganzi walked out of the door of the study, and a confidant immediately greeted him. Duan Ganzi took a look at this confidant, and said, "How is it?"

A confidant held a human head in his hands, and appeared in Duan Ganzi's sight.

This head is none other than the young Wei general Zhong Cheng.

Duan Ganzi glanced at Zhong Cheng's head, with a disgusted expression on his face, he waved his hands to signal his confidants to take the head away quickly, and then said flatly: "The matter is over, and follow me back to report to the king." .”
