Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Xiangbang Housheng of Qi thought for a while after hearing the words, and then said: "Your Majesty, I heard that King Zhao was very dissatisfied with the prince of Chu inciting the students of the Huaxia Academy to petition, and he even expelled the prince of Chu a few days ago. Chu State. So maybe this is an excuse that King Zhao is looking for to start a war against Chu State."

Qi Wangjian pondered for a while, then slowly said to Hou Sheng: "Houqing, I think it is very likely that King Zhao has already planned to go to war with Wei."

"King Zhao wants to go to war with the Kingdom of Wei?" Qi Wangjian's judgment obviously surprised Hou Sheng, and he couldn't help but said, "Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Wei has been an ally of the Kingdom of Zhao for the past few years. If the king rashly starts war against Wei, isn't he afraid that the other allies will be chilled?"

"Other allies?" Qi Wangjian sneered a few times, and said: "The so-called other allies are nothing more than South Korea, as long as King Zhao can firmly control South Korea, then he will not take Wei Guo seriously. "

After a few seconds, Qi Wangjian continued: "The current state of Zhao is the leader of the world. King Zhao has achieved such an achievement at a young age. At this moment, he must be proud of himself. Besides, even the strong Qin was defeated by King Zhao. Now this What is Wei Guo worth?"

Hou Sheng nodded, and praised: "Your Majesty really has a good opinion, and my ministers are far from being able to match the king's case."

A schadenfreude smile suddenly flashed across Hou Sheng's face as he spoke: "My lord, if it is said that the King of Zhao once again turned against the State of Wei, it would be a very risky thing for the State of Zhao itself. I think Your Majesty may take this opportunity to provoke the relationship between Zhao Guo and Wei Guo, so that the alliance relationship between them will break down as soon as possible."

As the saying goes, Muxiu will be destroyed by the forest wind. The prosperity of Zhao State has been seen by everyone in recent years. The worries and fears about Zhao State's strength are also increasing day by day on the land of China. Therefore, if possible, Under the circumstances, no country would mind cheating Zhao Guo, and Hou Sheng, as the prime minister of Qi State, is no exception.

"No." Qi Wangjian shook his head slightly, and an uncertain smile flashed across his face.

"Houqing, the widow has already made a decision. This time, the widow just needs to watch quietly."

The next day, the negotiations continued.

Compared with the first day, the negotiations on the second day were also full of tense atmosphere.

But in general, even when they were quarreling, Wei Wangyu's voice was louder and more confident than Chu Wangyuan's when they were arguing.

After all, Wei State was originally a winner in this war, while Chu State was just a loser.

In Wei Wangyu's view, Wei Guo's truce with Chu State was already a slap in the face of Zhao Guo's face, otherwise Wei Wangyu was going to take down Kuaiji County.

Now Chu Wangyuan actually wanted Wei Wangyu to return the territory, how could this be accepted by Wei Wangyu?

So without any suspense, another day of quarrels passed.

It wasn't until the third day that the whole thing finally started to change.

On this day, after finishing his routine speech, Zhao Dan did not retreat behind the scenes as usual, waiting for the routine quarrel between Zhao Wang and Wei Wang, but continued to speak in a leisurely manner.

"King Chu and King Wei, I actually have an opinion that may be able to solve the current situation. I wonder if the two kings would like to refer to it?"

As soon as Zhao Dan's words fell, Chu Wangyuan and Wei Wangyu subconsciously straightened up, and everyone in the whole hall suddenly regained their spirits.

After these two days of quarreling, everyone present already knew one thing, that is, if these two great kings are only allowed to continue to quarrel, even if the quarrel lasts until next spring, it is impossible for Wei Guo and Chu Guo to appear any compromise.

In fact, the reason why this negotiation is so difficult has nothing to do with the war itself.

Because if you look at the normal results, Wei Guo should be the one who gets what you want at the negotiating table, and as a loser, Chu Wangyuan should not have such confidence to challenge Wei Wangyu.

To put it bluntly, the key to everything lies entirely in Zhao Dan, who is the initiator of this alliance.

The confidence of Chu State comes entirely from Zhao State, and the reason why Wei Wangyu has tolerated it is because of Zhao State, so only after Zhao Dan speaks up, this matter will have the possibility of being resolved.

So after Zhao Dan opened his mouth, everyone's eyes immediately turned to him, waiting quietly for his opening.

What must be said is that even though he has experienced this feeling of attention many times, Zhao Dan still has a slight sense of refreshment in his heart.

After all, it was not Zhao Dan's courtiers who sat under Zhao Dan and listened attentively and waited for Zhao Dan's next words this time, but four monarchs from other countries!

Zhao Dan coughed and said: "In my opinion, as the victor, it is a matter of course for Wei Guo to possess the land. If the King of Chu asks the King of Wei to completely return the land, it is obviously difficult for the King of Wei to agree."

As soon as Zhao Dan said these words, Wei Wangyu's face immediately improved a lot.

But in contrast, Chu Wangyuan was naturally impatient. After all, if Wei Wangyu really kept all the lands that captured Chu, wouldn't Chu Wangyuan just do useless efforts this time?

Just when Chu Wangyuan was about to speak, Zhao Dan waved his hand towards Chu Wangyuan first, and said: "Chu Wangyuan, don't be impatient, and listen to the widow to finish. Although Wei is indeed the victor, if Wei Wang has an inch of land If you don't pay it back, the King of Chu will naturally be dissatisfied."

Zhao Dan deliberately stopped here, observed the expressions of other people in the hall, and then continued: "Nowadays, everyone in the world knows that Chu State has invited a widow to mediate this matter, so if we continue to quarrel like this , not only the grievances between Chu and Wei are difficult to resolve, but it is also not good for the face of the widow."

"That's why I feel that the two great kings should take a step back and reach a consensus as soon as possible. I wonder what you two think?"

When Zhao Dan said these words, the expressions on the faces of Chu Wangyuan and Wei Wangyu changed, obviously they were digesting the news contained in Zhao Dan's words.

After a long while, Wei Wangyu said, "I don't know what King Zhao said about taking a step back. What is the method of retreating?"

Zhao Dan smiled and said: "It's actually very simple. Wei Guo returned Shouchun to Chu State, and the war between Wei and Chu was terminated. I wonder what King Wei thinks?"

683 Wei Wangyu's Stand is Firm (Second Update)

Zhao Dan's words were like dropping a stone into the calm lake water, causing countless ripples in an instant.

Whether it was Chu Wangyuan present, Wei Wangyu, or Han Wangran and Qi Wangjian who put on a high-spirited attitude, they almost all started to move rapidly at the moment Zhao Dan's voice fell. Brain, start thinking.

What Zhao Dan said just now is actually clear enough. As a mediator, if anyone disagrees with Zhao Dan's suggestion, then whoever does not give Zhao Dan face.

Considering that Zhao Dan's identity is the monarch of the most powerful country in the world and the leader of the alliance this time, Zhao Dan's face can be said to be very big.

If this face is given, then this matter will naturally end here.But if you don't give this face, then things may get worse.

After a period of silence, Chu Wangyuan was the first to speak: "I have no objection to King Zhao's proposal."

Of course Chu Wangyuan had no objection, because Chu Wangyuan had no choice at all.

If it weren't for Zhao Dan's support, Chu Wangyuan wouldn't even be qualified to sit and negotiate with Wei Wangyu now, because Wei Wangyu would probably choose to swallow Chu Wangyuan's Chu Kingdom directly, and it counts as much as he can swallow. How many.

To put it bluntly, the current state of Chu is actually a puppet launched by the state of Zhao to limit the expansion of the state of Wei. Who has ever heard of a puppet who can bargain with the main messenger behind it?

At least not now in the state of Chu.

And in any case, being able to get Shouchun back is actually a very good result for the king of Chu and the state of Chu.

After all, apart from Chencheng, Shouchun is the second largest city in Chu State, and it is also the accompanying capital of Chu State.

Being able to bring back such a city with strong symbolic significance is also of great benefit to the improvement of the morale of the subjects of Chu State.

After taking back Shouchun, King Yuan of Chu can return to the state of Chu in a glorious manner, and announce to all the subjects of the state of Chu with great pride that Wang Yuan of Chu has won a victory in this diplomatic conference. victory.

Although this is a bit of self-deception, the current state of Chu needs such self-deception.

Now that Chu Wangyuan had agreed, the people present naturally turned their attention to Wei Wangyu, the other party involved who hadn't spoken yet.

If Wei Wangyu agreed with Zhao Dan's opinion, then Zhao Dan's mediation would be accomplished, and the war should be over.

Will Wei Wangyu agree to Zhao Dan's condition?Everyone is waiting for an answer.

Fortunately, Wei Wangyu didn't make the people present wait too long.

After contemplating for a moment, Wei Wangyu spoke slowly, with a deep but firm voice.

"Although King Zhao's opinion sounds reasonable, the widow cannot agree with such an opinion."
