Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Chapter 575 This King Zhao is simply too much (first update)

The capital of Wei State, Taoyi.

After the efforts of tens of thousands of craftsmen from Wei State, a brand new palace city has now stood in the Xicheng District of Taoyi.

This palace city is very majestic, with flying eaves and red tiles and high walls, shining brightly under the sun, full of an indescribable majesty.

As the most dignified person in the entire Wei Kingdom, Wei Wangyu was sitting in this newly completed palace at this moment, with a happy expression on his face, listening to Duan Qianzi's report on the situation in front of him.

"My lord, now Chengfu, Juyang, Xiacai, Suzhou and other cities have all been occupied by the elite soldiers under the king's command. The entire land of Chu State to the north of Yingshui and west of Sishui is all owned by Wei State!"

When Wei Wangyu heard the news, he felt an emotion called happiness radiating from all the pores of his body.

20 years, has been a full 20 years.

Wei State finally embarked on the road of external expansion again, and won such a large piece of land from Chu State.

The land that Wei State now occupies from Chu State is equivalent to almost three-quarters of the territory of Wei State today.

In other words, through this war alone, Wei Wangyu almost doubled the territory of Wei State.

A big victory, an undoubted, undisputed, unprecedented victory in 20 years!

Even looking at the entire history of Wei State, this time's big victory is ranked first, only second to Wei State's several victories such as destroying Zhongshan and capturing Xihe from Qin State.

But those victories were all achieved by Wei State during its heyday as an overlord. Since Wei State began to decline, it has never won such a huge victory like this war.

Needless to say, it is known that after this victory, Wei Wangyu's overall achievements and evaluation in history books will be much higher.

The reason why the kings are so painstaking in governing the country is not only to pass on their own foundation, but another reason is to leave a name in the history, so that future generations will remember their great achievements?

This battle is an out-and-out feat.

The more Wei Wangyu thought about it, the happier he became, and the smile on his face gradually became brighter. He even said yes, and was so excited that he didn't know what to say for a while.

After being happy for a while, Wei Wangyu suddenly noticed Duan Ganzi's expression of hesitating to speak, so he asked a little strangely: "Duan Qing, aren't you happy?"

Since Wei Wuji was eliminated, Wei Wangyu's personality has obviously improved. Compared with the previous vicious temperament, it can be said that it is much better now.

Duan Ganzi was stunned for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Wei was able to achieve such a major victory. I am naturally happy and proud of the King and the Kingdom of Wei from the bottom of my heart, but"

Wei Wangyu frowned and said, "Just what?"

Duan Ganzi sighed, took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Wei Wangyu: "Your Majesty, please read it."

Wei Wangyu glanced at Duan Ganzi in some puzzlement, then turned his gaze to the letter in Duan Ganzi's hand, and gasped, "Is this a letter from King Zhao?"

Due to the emergence of papermaking, Zhao Dan has started to use a lot of paper in his daily work and diplomatic activities. It is not the first time that Wei Wangyu has received paper letters from Zhao, so naturally he immediately I recognized it.

Wei Wangyu unfolded the letter and began to read the handwritten letter from Zhao Dan. .

After only a moment, the happy expression on Wei Wangyu's face began to disappear at an astonishing speed, replaced by deep anger.

After reading the whole letter, Wei Wangyu finally couldn't bear it any longer, he punched hard on the desk in front of him, and let out a roar.

"This Zhao Wangdan is simply unreasonable!"

Duan Ganzi looked at the angry Wei Wangyu in surprise, and asked, "Why is Your Majesty so angry? Could it be that King Zhao made some weird request?"

Wei Wangyu was so angry that his body was trembling, he took the letter and said to Duan Ganzi: "Duan Qing, Duan Qing, look at this Zhao Dan, he even directly asked the widow not to continue to enter the rest of the territory of Chu State, and Chu State Stop fighting here."

Speaking of this, Wei Wangyu's voice suddenly raised an octave: "Why? Although he Zhao Guo is the leader of the Three Jin Alliance, but the widow is not a courtier who can be called around under Zhao Dan's command! Whether the widow and the state of Chu cease fighting is not something he can decide at will with a letter from Zhao Dan!"

In the end, Wei Wangyu called Zhao Dan by his name directly, obviously very angry by Zhao Dan's letter.

Of course Wei Wangyu's anger was justified.

You must know that the army of Wei State has already begun to plan to cross Surabaya to take over the eastern Huaibei land of Chu State that was vacated due to the withdrawal of the Qi State people to the east of Surabaya.

If all the territories vacated by the people of Qi were taken into their hands, then the territory of Wei State would even be comparable to that of the overlord Wei State in its heyday.

Undoubtedly, this was a great temptation for Wei Wangyu.

As a result, Zhao Dan now sent a letter saying that Wei State must cease war with Chu State.

If this is the case, then forget it, but the problem is that Zhao Dan still clearly stated in his heart that Chu State has already ceded all the territories that Wei Wangyu was about to seize to Zhao State.

How could this convince Wei Wangyu?

Obviously, there is not even a single soldier of Zhao State on those lands!Just because of Zhao Dan's letter, so Wei Wangyu has to give in obediently?

Wei Wangyu was angry at the top, but Duan Ganzi sitting at the bottom had his own different opinions.

Duan Ganzi shook his head after thinking for a moment about the anger of his king, and said helplessly to Wei Wangyu: "My lord, if I think otherwise, we should follow what King Zhao said and stop the war with Chu."

"A truce?" Wei Wangyu gritted his teeth and said, "The current state of Chu does not have any strength to resist the army of the widow. Destroy this state of Chu! Now is the golden opportunity of a century for the state of Wei, and you actually want to let the widows cease fighting?"

When Wei Wangyu said these words, his eyes were filled with an incomparable longing. It looked like a wolf that hadn't eaten for a long time suddenly found incomparably fresh food. In general, there is little rationality left.

Wei Wangyu just stared at Duan Ganzi fiercely. It seems that if Duan Ganzi can't give an answer that satisfies Wei Wangyu, Wei Wangyu doesn't even mind letting Duan Ganzi appreciate the true majesty of the monarch. .

Duan Ganzi sighed, and said: "Your Majesty's words are very true. Today's Chu State does not have any capital to fight against His Majesty. But I want to remind His Majesty that Zhao, South Korea and Qi must all I don’t want your king to annex Chu alone!”

Duan Ganzi's words stunned Wei Wangyu for a moment, he looked at Duan Ganzi with some hesitation, and said, "Duan Qing means"

Duan Ganzi said sternly: "I can assure you that if Your Majesty wants to continue this war, then what Your Majesty will have to face is not just the weak Chu State, but the enemies from Zhao State, Qi State and South Korea." The Three Kingdoms Alliance!"

Zhao, Qi, and Han are all neighbors of Wei.In the Warring States period, everyone liked to drag each other's hind legs. Once the Wei State obtained so much land out of thin air, then the three kingdoms of Zhao, Qi, and Han would definitely not agree. War is what will inevitably happen next.

Wei Wangyu said angrily to Duan Ganzi: "Now Zhao and Han are still fighting against Qin, and Qi is still fighting against Yan. How can they have time to interfere with the attack on Chu?"

Duan Ganzi said: "Lian Po has already led his army to the west, and he will soon be able to decide the outcome with Bai Qi. Linzi has just received news that the Qi army has defeated the Yan army. The army may go south to attack the Huaibei area of ​​Chu State again at any time."

After a pause, Duan Ganzi continued to persuade: "Your Majesty, don't repeat the mistakes of King Qi Min!"

The name King Qimin poured Wei Wangyu from head to foot like a pot of cold water in an instant, and finally Wei Wangyu, who had fallen into some inexplicable frenzy, began to slowly become sober.

After a long while, Wei Wangyu said: "If I continue to attack Chu, will it really attract other countries to attack Wei?"

Duan Ganzi said with certainty: "Absolutely! From the point of view of my minister, it is better for the king to stop here. It will not only give Zhao Wang face, but also won't attract any enemies for the Wei country. Next, the king just needs to put this matter at ease. The land we won for the first time can be developed for a few years, then Wei will naturally become one of the most powerful countries, and then we can develop in Xutu, there is no need to rush for a while."

Wei Wangyu sat there in a daze, his expression fluctuated, and he seemed extremely hesitant.

After a long time, Wei Wangyu finally let out a long sigh, waved his hands in displeasure, and said to Ganzi Duan, "That's all, that's all. If that's the case, then Duan Qingru will send an order to stop the troops on the front line." Bar."

After saying these words, Wei Wangyu waved his sleeves very irritably, and left the hall straight away.

Although Wei Wangyu himself admitted that Duan Ganzi's opinion was indeed a good one, but when he was really asked to do this by himself, Wei Wangyu still couldn't help but feel extremely irritated from the bottom of his heart.
