Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Zhao Dan continued: "So the next question is what price will the other five countries pay! You can express your opinion on this."

If you win the battle, it will naturally come to the time to pay compensation for land cession, but what kind of land will be ceded and how much money will be paid, this is what needs to be studied.

After all, although the Five Kingdoms were defeated, it was impossible for the Zhao Kingdom to swallow all the Five Kingdoms in one go, so the two sides were destined to sit at the negotiating table to study this issue.

Since it is a negotiation, it is necessary to determine the bottom line first. After all, negotiation is a back and forth, and both parties have a bottom line.Zhao Guo definitely couldn't let the Five Kingdoms pass through the border easily, but they couldn't ask for too much, so that the Five Kingdoms would not be able to talk about it.

In short, how to cut the five countries the hardest and at the same time allow the five countries to accept this kind of cut is the theme of Zhao Dan's meeting this time.

The ministers were happy when they heard it, and began to speak in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, I believe that the people of Qin should cede Shang County and Xihe County! Anyway, with Xianyang City and the King of Qin in their hands, I forgive them for not daring to refuse this request."

"Your Majesty, I think it's time for the Yan people to return Wuyang City!"

"Your Majesty, I think that the people of Qi can cede Jucheng!"

"Your Majesty, I feel that the Koreans must cede Yiyang to appease Your Majesty's anger, or spit out the land of Wei State that was occupied in this war!"

"The King"

All in all, all Zhao's ministers were completely excited, and all kinds of demands came out of their mouths like a cannonball, regardless of whether it was too much or what, anyway, let's talk about it first!

After some discussion, the ministers came up with a lot of ideas, and Zhao Dan also ordered someone to record them one by one, and then said to Zheng Zhu: "Zheng Qing, when you go back, let someone sort out these requirements. Take a moment, then make a plan, and submit it in a few days for the widow and the ministers to review."

As Zhao's foreign minister, Zheng Zhu was naturally in charge of this, so he agreed immediately.

To be honest, things like diplomatic negotiations are just meaningless wrangling most of the time, so Zhao Dan just intends to set a direction, and then let the guests of the big business department go and talk with the envoys of the six countries. .

At this time, Yu Xin who was on the side suddenly smiled strangely, and said, "Your Majesty, I have a plan, which may solve this problem."

As soon as Yu Xin's words fell, the faces of all the ministers present couldn't help but showed surprise expressions. Zhao Dan also looked at Yu Xin curiously, and said, "What clever plan does Qing Yu have?"

Yu Xin stroked his long beard under his chin, a strange light flashed in his eyes, he looked very much like some bad-bellied dog-headed military advisers, and said slowly: "Actually, I feel that the king and the ministers have no It is necessary to study what kind of conditions are proposed to the five countries, although let them propose it themselves."

"Propose it yourself?" Zhao Sheng's mouth twitched slightly, his face somewhat disdainful, and said: "Yu Qing, if the conditions proposed by the Five Kingdoms themselves can be accepted, then why should the king and us bother so much?" How about discussing these in your mind?"

What Zhao Sheng said was indeed the truth. After all, although the Five Kingdoms had lost the battle, no one wanted to lose too much, right?Therefore, the price paid in the summation conditions proposed by the five countries is very small, so small that it is absolutely impossible for the Zhao country to accept it.

If Zhao Guo really accepts all the conditions put forward by the five countries now, then Zhao Guo can be said to be at a big loss, and this big battle will be for nothing.

Yu Xin smiled and said: "Mr. Pingyuan misunderstood, in fact, my strategy is not finished yet. Your Majesty can ask the five countries to put forward conditions, and then tell them that Zhao Guoguo will evaluate their conditions. Once any country The price paid is considered by Zhao Guo to be the lightest, so Zhao Guo will choose this country as the target of conquest!"

Zhao Dan's eyes lit up when he heard these words, and after careful thought, he couldn't help but slapped his thigh, and praised: "Yu Qing's plan is wonderful."

After adding this condition, the pressure on the five countries is completely different.

Whoever benefits Zhao Guo the least will be beaten by Zhao Guo, and the power of evaluation is in the hands of Zhao Guo. In this way, the five countries must pay the benefits that Zhao Guo desires, otherwise they may be killed. Facing Zhao Guo's soldiers.

"What if the five countries join forces in secret?" Pang Nuan said: "If this is the case, they can also achieve the purpose of seeking peace at a small price."

"It is impossible for the five countries to be connected in series." Yu Xin said with a smile: "Because the five countries do not trust each other, how can they be sure that the price agreed in advance will not change when the time comes to submit it? Besides, if If the price proposed by the five countries is exactly the same, then any country may become the target of our next conquest, so why would they take this risk?"

After Yu Xin's explanation, everyone understood.

To put it bluntly, the vicious part of this strategy is that there must be a victim among the five countries, and if you don't want to be this victim, you must pay at least more than the victim.

If the five countries all think this way, then in order not to be the last one, they will have to pay a price that may be even more than what the original Zhao country asked for!

Zhao Dan laughed loudly, and said: "Okay, Yu Qing's plan won the hearts of the widow, so let's handle it accordingly! Also, go and tell the monarchs of the other five countries to let them all come to Handan, I have a good show to come Let them see!"

Chapter 791 Wei Country Destroyed (Second Update)

It was the season when the autumn wind brought coolness, and once again Handan City ushered in the kings of the six countries who came to seek peace.

Anything is always very fresh for the first time, but when it is related to the word "again", it doesn't seem to have much meaning, it seems to be able to make people get used to it.

In the eyes of the people of Zhao State, it is a matter of course that they and Zhao State can win, and it is also a matter of course for other monarchs to come to worship their own king.

This is of course not because of the superiority in the bones of the Zhao people, but entirely because of what Zhao has fought in the past few years, poured out with the blood of soldiers from countless other six countries and the territories of other countries. self-confidence.

By this time, Handan has completely become the largest city in the entire Central Plains and even in the entire China. Countless merchants stay here to trade, countless nobles live here, countless spies spy on information here, and countless people of Zhao State Live hard and proudly here.

Everything seems to be very normal, no different from the past, but what most people in Handan City don't know is that in this Handan City, an event destined to be recorded in history is about to happen.

After the Kings of the Six Kingdoms came to Handan City, Zhao Dan arranged for them to live in each other, especially in the post house of Wei Zeng, the prince of Wei, and his party. Declined all requests and invitations from envoys or monarchs of other countries.

On September 264, 9 B.C., the No. 8 year when Zhao Dan officially succeeded to the throne, a meeting was held in Longtai, Miyagi City, Handan.

This one, in the main hall of the Dragon Terrace in Handan gathered many great figures in this world, Zhao Dan sat on the top seat, and the other five monarchs sat on Zhao Dan's left, right, and bottom heads, but there was still one The position is empty, that is the position that should have belonged to Wei State.

For this point, other people inevitably have many guesses, but no one dares to say these guesses.

In addition to a few monarchs, there are also important ministers from various countries, such as Lu Buwei, the Wucheng Lord of the Qin State, Huang Xie, the Chunshen Lord of the Chu State, and Hou Sheng, the Prime Minister of the Qi State. The rest are accompanied by military officials of the Zhao State.

After everyone was seated, Zheng Zhu, a member of the Zhao Kingdom, stood up suddenly, and said loudly to Zhao Dan: "Your Majesty, Crown Prince Wei Zeng led the officials of the Kingdom of Wei to seek an audience outside the hall!"

As soon as Zheng Zhu's words fell, the monarchs of the various countries showed surprised expressions on their faces. It turned out that Prince Wei was not prohibited from appearing here.

Could it be that this means that Wei Guo still has drama?

Zhao Dan nodded calmly and said, "Let him in."

A moment later, Wei Zeng, the ten-year-old crown prince of the Wei Kingdom, appeared at the main entrance in front of Longtai.

Wei Zeng didn't come alone, there was a group of people behind Wei Zeng. Judging from the clothes of these people, they were obviously the ministers of Wei State.

Why did Wei Zeng bring the ministers of the State of Wei to the main hall of the State of Zhao at such a moment?

Many quick-witted people, such as Lu Buwei and Yan Guoxiang Bang Lejian, have already begun to change their faces.

Logically speaking, since there is still a seat reserved for Wei Guo on the stage, then Wei Crown Prince Zeng, as the current actual leader of Wei Guo, should take the position that belongs to Wei Wang as a matter of course.

But he didn't.

When Prince Wei Zeng walked under the platform where Zhao Dan was, he stopped suddenly, his face was flushed red, and after several breaths, he slowly knelt down towards Zhao Dan .

Not only Wei Crown Prince Zeng, but also all the Wei ministers who followed behind him also knelt down towards Zhao Dan in unison.

A white-haired minister of the State of Wei who followed Crown Prince Zeng took out a book from his pocket and began to recite it aloud.

"Wei Crown Prince Zeng and all the subjects of Wei Guo wrote a letter to Zhao Wang:

The Kingdom of Wei and the State of Zhao came out of the State of Jin, and they were originally a country of one body.Now Wei Guo is willing to return the whole country to Zhao, and from then on, he will be a minister of Zhao for the rest of his life! "

The old Minister of the State of Wei was obviously in a very agitated mood. It took him almost a cup of tea to finish reading just two or three short sentences, and even when he read the last sentence, his whole body Still a little choked up.

Not only this old minister, but also among many ministers of the Wei state, a low sobbing sound could be heard vaguely.
