Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

However, Jingyang is not good at commanding. If you think about it now, if Jingyang could defeat the [-] Zhao army that Lian Po used as bait in one go, then the morale-boosting Chu army would be able to match the [-] Zhao army led by Lian Po later. Troops may not necessarily lose.

Therefore, Chu Wangyuan felt that Huang Xie and Jingyang should be blamed for the reason why Chu State has fallen to this point.

If it weren't for the fact that Chu Wangyuan was still somewhat clear-eyed and knew that it was not appropriate to kill the ministers without the end of the war, the heads of Huang Xie and Jingyang would have fallen to the ground long ago.

But if you don't kill, you don't kill, at least a redemption is still required.

Huang Xie and Jingyang Wenyan looked at each other. Although these two people were usually the kind of political enemies who wanted to kill each other, they could see helplessness on each other's faces at this moment.

They are also the ones who are responsible for Chu State.

At this time, the two actually didn't have much intention to embarrass each other.

To put it bluntly, the state of Chu is about to perish now. Anyone who is still fighting among themselves at this time is really too stupid.

Yes, the current crisis of the Chu State is not just about losing land and land, but has really come to the verge of subjugation!

In this era, there was almost no development south of the Yangtze River, so the land that could really contribute to the national strength of Chu State was basically concentrated between the Yangtze River and the Yellow River.

Now, half of the land of Chu State between the Yangtze River and the Yellow River has been lost. If this trend continues, it will be a matter of time before the other half is lost.

Da Chu, is he really going to die?

This question has begun to linger in the minds of many people.

Before this battle, none of the ministers of the Chu State thought that the war situation would be like this, but now the Chu State's subjugation is no longer a joke, but something that may really happen!

Chunshen Jun Huang Xie took a deep breath, finally stepped out slowly, and said to Chu Wangyuan: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, the only way now is to seek peace from Zhao."

"Seeking peace?" Chu Wangyuan smiled wryly, and said, "I want to ask for peace, but I don't know whether King Zhao is willing or not."

Huang Xie said seriously: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, the State of Zhao should be willing. I heard that Bai Qi is now leading the army of the State of Qin to attack the East County of the State of Zhao, and a large amount of territory in the East County has already fallen to the people of the Qin State. Otherwise, Lian Po would not have retreated immediately after breaking through Chen Cheng."

Jingyang on the side also agreed with Huang Xie's opinion in a very rare way: "What Ling Yin said is indeed true, and I also think that the reason why the Zhao people left fifty thousand troops is actually to It’s all about forcing the king to seek peace.”

When Chu Wangyuan heard this, his brows that had been furrowed all the time finally showed a slight tendency to relax.

But immediately, King Yuan of Chu frowned even tighter: "Even if Zhao Guo is willing to seek peace, but if Han and Wei insist on continuing to attack the widow, what should we do?"

Huang Xie said: "Your Majesty, although the Three Jins are an alliance, there are also constant quarrels among the alliances. As the leader of the alliance, Zhao Guo must not want to see Han Wei and Wei become bigger after the destruction of Da Chu. Just grasp this point, then It should be possible for King Zhao to order Han and Wei to withdraw their troops."

After pondering for a while, Chu Wangyuan finally expressed his agreement with Huang Xie's opinion, and said: "Since this is the case, then who is willing to go through such a life for the widow?"

As soon as Chu Wangyuan finished speaking, Huang Xie, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to go to Handan!"

Huang Xie's voice was still in everyone's ears, and Jing Jingyang, another important minister of Chu State, couldn't wait to speak at this moment: "Your Majesty, I would also like to go to Handan to persuade King Zhao to negotiate peace with Chu State."

Huang Xie and Jingyang looked at each other, and the peaceful atmosphere just now disappeared completely, replaced by the menacing gaze of the needle point at Maimang.

For today's ministers of the Chu State, if they want to escape the king's punishment, the only chance to redeem their sins is undoubtedly to successfully sue for peace, so that the Chu State can come out of the crisis of subjugation.

There is only one opportunity, but Huang Xie and Jingyang need this opportunity to get rid of the blame.

The next moment, a quarrel between Huang Xie and Jingyang immediately broke out in the hall.

Just as King Yuan of Chu was annoyed by the quarrel between Huang Xie and Jingyang, and was about to tell them to shut up, the chief guard of the Chu State Palace hurriedly appeared in the hall, bringing a The news surprised Chu Wangyuan and all the Chu ministers present.

"Your Majesty, someone outside the city claims to be Zhao Guo's envoy Zheng Zhu, who wants to enter the city to ask to see Your Majesty!"

Chapter 5 Seventy: Zheng Zhu's Lion Opens His Big Opening ([-]rd update)

"Zheng Zhu?" The name quickly made the entire court of Chu Kingdom quiet down.

As one of Zhao Guo's important ministers and a person in charge of diplomacy, the name Zheng Zhu is certainly no stranger to Chu people.

More importantly, the presence of Zheng Zhu here at this moment can only prove one thing, that is, the Zhao people also want to negotiate peace!

In just a split second, the atmosphere in the entire hall suddenly became active.

At this moment, Chu Wangyuan's brows that had been tightly furrowed were finally relaxed, and a rare smile appeared on his face.

"Come on, hurry up and send an order to bring Zhao Guo's envoy to the city, and I will see him immediately!"

An hour later, Zheng Zhu appeared in this hall.

As soon as he appeared, Zheng Zhu gave Chu's monarchs and ministers a moderate blow.

I saw that after Zheng Zhu paid the salute to King Yuan of Chu, he said without waiting for King Yuan of Chu to open his mouth: "Your Majesty is the king of a powerful country like Chu, but now he can only submit to this little boy with a radius of less than two miles. In the small mansion, I wonder if Your Majesty ever regretted his betrayal of the alliance in the past?"

When Chu Wangyuan heard this, his nose was almost crooked.

According to the standards of ordinary people and even ministers, the mansion of this city guard's mansion is actually pretty good. It's a big family style.

But for a monarch, such a mansion is obviously too small.

All the monarchs live in Miyagi. Although this Miyagi is a relatively small city, no matter how small the city is, it is bigger than a mansion.

When Zheng Zhu came up to mention this, it was obvious that he wanted to slap Chu Wangyuan in the face severely.

Chu Wangyuan took a few deep breaths, and finally suppressed the anger that was about to erupt like a volcano in his heart.

That's right, Zheng Zhu's words are indeed very bold and reckless. If a minister of Chu State dared to say such a thing, his head would be killed in a quarter of an hour at most, but the problem is that Zheng Zhu, the envoy of Zhao State, is really real. It made Chu Wangyuan dare not act rashly.

If Zheng Zhu is killed, then no matter how good-tempered King Zhao is, he will not be able to bear it anymore. The war will inevitably continue, and Chu State may really only be able to usher in the end of the country's destruction.

So Chu Wangyuan could only endure.

Not only King Yuan of Chu, but all the ministers of Chu State present who didn't turn pale and tremble with anger at Zheng Zhu's words?But it can only be tolerated.

Compared with the ending of annihilation of the country, such things as face-slapping and humiliation seem to be nothing.

King Yuan of Chu let out a long breath, and said, "The envoy is here this time for peace talks?"

Zheng Zhu looked at Chu Wang Yuanzhen's blue and white face, and he was also very happy in his heart.

Just a few months ago, Zheng Zhu also stood in front of Chu Wangyuan and said to Chu Wangyuan, "I hope that when Chencheng is destroyed in the future, the king will not regret today's decision." words.

And today, those words came true.

So Zheng Zhu felt happy in his heart.

However, Zheng Zhu does not intend to continue this slap in the face. After all, King Yuan of Chu is also a monarch. If he continues to talk about what he said, he becomes angry and ready to fight with Zhao Guo, then it is not in line with Zhao Guo. country's interests.

So Zheng Zhu didn't intend to continue talking nonsense, so he cut straight to the point: "Back to Your Majesty, the foreign minister brought my king's words this time, as long as Chu is willing to cede all the lands that reach Yishui in the east, Sishui in the west, and Danshui in the south." and Zhao Guo, then this time the battle between Zhao and Chu will cease here."

As soon as Zheng Zhu said these words, the Chu monarchs and ministers in the hall were in an uproar.

Although they knew in advance that the Zhao people would find a way to open their mouths like a lion, but the monarchs and ministers of Chu never thought that the Zhao people's appetite was too big! !
