Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

The reason why Qi Wangjian is in such a bad mood is of course because of the ongoing war, especially Qi's poor performance in this war.

In the Yanqi battlefield in the north, the besieged Linle City once again staged a scene of cooperation between the inside and the outside.

Under the secret planning of a group of old Yan State officials and old nobles in the city, Linle City suddenly opened the north gate on the night of No. 15 when it was besieged. Yan country is a very important city.

After Linle City was conquered, in just three days, the entire Dukang land was once again in the hands of the Yan people.

Facts have proved one point, that is, the rulers of Yan State may be weak chickens at the bottom of the ranking, but the people of Yan State are definitely not the kind of cowardly citizens who are at the mercy of others.

After winning this victory, the morale of the Yan army was greatly boosted, and they crossed the Beiyi River and went south without stopping, and began to launch another wave of counterattacks towards Qi.

As for the Yan army's offensive, Qi Wangjian was helpless at this moment.

Because the most important trump card that Qi Wangjian can play now is still surrounded by Pang Nuan and the main force of Zhao State in Gaotang City!

If that's the case, maybe Qi Wangjian won't be so troubled, after all, Qi has allies in this battle, and there are three more!

But these three allies are unreliable.

Needless to say, Wei Guo has already been beaten to the ground by Zhao Guoren, and he was defeated by Zhao Guoren in the most indisputable way with an upright teacher!

This method obviously caused serious damage to the self-confidence of the people of Wei. It was obvious that the people of Zhao had already sent troops northward, but Wei Wangyu completely ignored Qi Wangjian's request for Wei Jun to go north to support Gaotang, and he huddled in Taoyi and remained motionless. .

This made Qi Wangjian very angry. You must know that when Wei Wangyu couldn't support it, Qi Wangjian very happily agreed to the main force of the Qi army to go south to support.

Although it was said that the Wei people were not successfully supported in the end, the problem was not with the Qi people, but because the Wei people asked for help too late.

So Qi Wangjian felt from the bottom of his heart that Wei Wangyu was not interesting enough, very uninteresting.

To say that there is such an unreliable ally as Wei Guo is actually quite painful, but Wei Guo is not the only one who is unreliable.

South Korean General Jin Bing led 15 Korean elite troops to launch a surprise attack on Shangdang County when Zhao State was completely unprepared, and was then attacked by a group of county soldiers and Ju Xinjia Xu Li, a second-rate soldier in Zhao State. The combination was defeated.

Qi Wangjian felt that this might be the most clumsy war he had seen in the past few decades, and his contempt for Koreans had reached its peak.

If there were only two unreliable guys Wei Guo and Han Han, then Qi Wangjian might not have been so angry in his heart.

But the crux of the problem is that Qin, the most powerful country in the anti-Zhao alliance of the four countries, and the only country that has suppressed the opposing Zhao army, is actually the first to propose peace to Zhao!

Originally, everyone was struggling to support them, hoping that in the past few decades, the Great Qin Army, known for its bravery and combat effectiveness, would come out of the Central Plains to save the poor Central Plains. Qin Guo, the long-awaited reinforcement, not only did not appear, but went hand in hand with Zhao Guo to engage in peace talks

When Qi Wangjian heard the news, his mood was as complicated as when he was 16 years old when he learned that a court lady he liked was blessed by his father.

Qi Wangjian lost his temper severely for this.

But all this is not over yet, as the saying goes, misfortunes never come singly, when Qi Wangjian was in chaos because of Qin's sudden peace request, another news came.

Han Wangran sent Xiangbang Feng Ting as an envoy to Handan to seek peace!

When Qi Wangjian heard the news, his mood was as complicated as when he was 16 years old and learned that a court lady he liked was blessed by his father and became pregnant.

At that time, Qi Wangjian directly lifted the table and hit his right big toe, making it difficult for him to walk now.

At this moment, Qi Wangjian felt the bursts of pain coming from the big toe of his right foot, his face was gloomy as if a heavy rain was about to fall, and he said to Hou Sheng in front of him word by word: "Hou Sheng Qing, tell me, what should the widow do now?"

Hou Sheng also felt helpless, if King Xin Dao said something romantic, he could still talk about it, but if he is discussing military and state affairs now, is it a bit wrong to find the wrong person?

But Hou Sheng also knew in his heart that he couldn't think of it, otherwise he would be the end of his Xiangbang.

So Hou Sheng rolled his eyes, and suddenly remembered the words of one of his confidantes, so he rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I have an idea."

Qi Wangjian said impatiently: "Then hurry up!"

Hou Sheng coughed and said, "Your Majesty, since both Qin and South Korea are scrambling to make peace with Zhao, why don't Your Majesty follow the example of Qin and South Korea and send people to negotiate peace with Zhao?"

As soon as Hou Sheng said this, Qi Wangjian was stunned.

Hou Sheng thought that Qi Wangjian was disgusted, so he hurriedly quoted what the doorman said to him, and explained to Qi Wangjian: "My lord, it is impossible to defeat Zhao Guo now, and the only way to stop the loss is to find a way to stop the loss." It is a feasible way. Only after seeking peace from Zhao State and focusing on dealing with Yan State, this is the best policy."

After Hou Sheng finished speaking, Qi Wangjian still had a stunned expression.

Just as Hou Sheng was flustered and scolded the doorman who came up with the idea, Qi Wangjian finally responded.

I saw Qi Wangjian slapped his thigh fiercely, with a smile on his face, and praised Hou Sheng: "Houqing's plan is really clever! If this is the case, then Houqing will take a trip to Handan for the widow. Get this thing done!"

"What?" Hou Sheng was also taken aback when he heard the words, thinking that going to Handan to seek peace at this time is not asking for trouble?Subconsciously, he shied away: "My lord, it's not that I don't want to be loyal to my lord, it's true"

Before Hou Sheng finished speaking, Qi Wangjian looked over with piercing eyes: "Why, Houqing even wants to shirk this matter?"

After being stared at by Qi Wangjian, Hou Sheng's scalp was numb, so he could only grit his teeth and lowered his body, and bowed deeply to Qi Wangjian: "I will do my best to not disgrace the king's order!"

Chapter 725 Don't Be Blindly Optimistic (Part [-])

When Zhao Dan heard that the envoy of Qi State was coming, he was also a little stunned.

You must know that the envoys from Qin and South Korea have only left for two days. It is unexpected that the people of Qi can't withstand the pressure to seek peace so quickly.

Happiness came too fast, it was a little hard for the widow to accept.

Zhao's ministers obviously have different views on this matter of Qi people.

Zhao Sheng's opinion is very simple. After all, the current state of Qi still has a main force of 15, and there is a big city like Gaotang City as a barrier. Even if this Qi army can really be eliminated, the state of Zhao will definitely pay a lot If there are more casualties, it is better to negotiate peace with Qi and get some benefits.

Yu Xin's opinion was very murderous: "Your Majesty, this country of Qi is capricious. Now, when the main force of Qi country is surrounded by Gaotang City, it is just time to teach the people of Qi country a lesson. As long as we can win Gaotang , then we can take advantage of the situation to attack Linzi and destroy Qi!"

Zhao Dan was a little stunned when he heard this: "Yu Qing, do you want the widow to destroy Qi?"

Yu Xin nodded with certainty, and said to Zhao Dan: "My lord, as long as I can completely wipe out the main force of the 15 Qi army led by Kuang Liang, then there will be no more resistance in the country of Qi." And judging from the current situation of the countries, no other country will help Qi, and this is the best opportunity to destroy Qi!"

Zhao Dan thought about Yu Xin's thoughts for a while, and suddenly realized that it really seemed to be the same thing.

You know, in this war, all the seven heroes of the Warring States Period were involved, and none of them stayed out of it.

Now both Qin State and South Korea have asked Zhao State for peace, and Wei State has been beaten into a sieve by Zhao State. The remaining Yan State is attacking Qi State, and Chu State is also busy fighting Wei State.

Everyone is very busy, and indeed no country will go to rescue Qi.

Zhao Dan was very tempted by Yu Xin's suggestion, and then rejected it.

"Yu Qing, I want you to know that fighting for hegemony is one thing, but destroying a country is another. Before I have the power to fight against the whole world, I don't want to do this."

Although it is said that many vassal states were destroyed in the previous Western Zhou and Spring and Autumn Periods, since entering the Warring States Period, only the Song State, Zhongshan State, and Yue State have been destroyed in the past few hundred years.

Except for the Wei State, which has been reduced to a king and has actually been reduced to the territory of the Wei State, the remaining countries are all powerful countries, otherwise they would not be called the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period.

No matter whether any country in such a big country is destroyed, it is definitely a big event for other countries.

Just like when Qi State annihilated Song State and finally shocked the world and the five countries defeated Qi State, once Zhao State is the most powerful country in the world, once Qi State is annihilated, it will definitely arouse the vigilance of all other countries.
