Meng Ao, who was standing beside Ying Zichu, said coldly: "Mr. Wu Xin is so arrogant, is this the way of peace talks in your country?
If the queen mother of your country finds out, she must not be happy, right? "
Zhao Kuo looked at Meng Ao: "Who are you?"
Meng Ao cupped his hands and said, "The last general, Meng Ao, has met Lord Wu Xin."
Zhao Kuo snorted and said, "So you are General Meng Ao.
Let me just say it bluntly, Benhou is very dissatisfied with this peace negotiation.
So, today the Marquis is going to vent his anger here, don't you agree? "
Meng Ao was stunned.
If Zhao Kuo said something else hypocritically, Meng Ao would naturally be able to take advantage of the situation to expose Zhao Kuo's true face, but now that Zhao Kuo is telling the truth just to vent, Meng Ao has nothing to say.
Zhao Kuo's eyes were as sharp as a knife, and he looked around the audience: "Anyone who is not convinced, go back and mobilize troops now, and come and fight this Marquis!"
Zhao Kuo's voice fell, and no one dared to answer.
Ying Zichu was shocked.
This was the first time Ying Zichu and Zhao Kuo met. He never expected that Wu Xinjun of Zhao Kingdom would be so powerful and domineering!Immediately, some kind of light flickered in Ying Zichu's eyes.
This is what the prince thinks a real general should look like, but unfortunately he is the prince's enemy.
Ying Zichu took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Everyone, step down, and just leave me and the two kings here."
Ying Zichu is only the crown prince, but he came here on behalf of King Qin, so he is the real speaker in this peace talk.
Seeing this, King Wei and King Han could only wave their hands to signal the others to back down.
Meng Ao took a deep look at Zhao Kuo, and walked off the stage with several other generals.
Han Xuwei was extremely dissatisfied. Seeing the end of the matter at this moment, he said: "You two kings and princes, please sit down, let's start discussing."
The crowd took their seats.
Zhao Kuo suddenly said: "King Han, you still have [-] troops in our Great Zhao army camp, and you are sitting with Qin and Wei at this moment, isn't it a bit embarrassing?"
King Han blushed, scolding his mother in his heart.
Who in this world doesn't know that you, Zhao Kuo, forcibly captured the widow's [-] army?
But Han Wang didn't dare to speak harshly to Zhao Kuo, so he could only smile shyly and say, "What Wu Xinjun said is very true."
After finishing speaking, King Han lowered his body and moved his desk a little farther away from Ying Zichu and King Wei with some difficulty.
Everyone else watched this scene quietly without speaking.
Peace talks officially started.
Chapter 395 The Marquis Cannot Agree To This Contract (32/35)
As the main envoy of the Zhao State, Han Xuwei was naturally the first to speak: "Everyone, I believe our envoys from Da Zhao have already said this about the peace negotiation this time, but the old man is still here to reiterate that as long as the peace negotiation As soon as it is achieved, Da Zhao will immediately withdraw his troops!"
The subtext of Han Xuwei's words is obvious. Don't look at Wu Xinjun as fierce, but if you really want to negotiate a peace, you still have to talk to the old man. As long as the old man agrees, then Wu Xinjun has nothing to do.
All the people present were smart people, and they immediately understood what Han Xuwei meant, and their faces relaxed a little.
After all, Zhao Kuo's strength just now really frightened King Han, King Wei, and Ying Zichu. If Zhao Kuo dominated the entire peace talks, he would definitely be oppressed to death.
Having said that, everyone still glanced at Zhao Kuo subconsciously, and found that Zhao Kuo did not speak, so they were really relieved.
Of course, Han Xuwei also noticed the actions of the crowd, which made him curse inwardly, who is the goddamn ambassador for the peace talks?
The old god Zhao Kuo was sitting there, as if the whole thing had nothing to do with him, completely transformed into a clay statue.
Peace talks have entered a substantive stage.
Since it is a peace negotiation between multiple countries, everyone's conditions are naturally different.
Qin State asked Zhao State to withdraw from the land of Wei State, and at the same time release all Qin State prisoners. Qin State can pay a certain amount of money and materials as compensation.
South Korea asked Zhao Guo to withdraw from the land of Wei State, and at the same time release all Han troops including Feng Ting. South Korea can pay a lot of money and materials as compensation.
The State of Wei demanded that the State of Zhao withdraw from the land of the State of Wei and at the same time release all the captives including Lord Xinling and Jin Bi. The State of Wei could pay a huge amount of money and materials as compensation.
In short, it is hoped that the national borders before the war will remain unchanged, and then Qin, Han and Wei will use money and materials to redeem the captives.
Zhao Kuo couldn't help being a little funny when he heard this.
From the beginning of the war to the present, about half of Wei State's land had been occupied by Zhao State before the war started.
What's the point of spitting out what's in your mouth?
Han Xuwei may want to play tricks secretly, but Zhao Kuo concluded that even if Han Xuwei was given a hundred courage, Han Xuwei would not be able to agree to such a condition.
Otherwise, let alone the queen mother would not agree, neither would the 25 soldiers under Zhao Kuo's command.
You say you will return the territory that everyone has worked so hard to build. Is everyone's blood shed in vain?
What's more, there is Lin Xiangru beside him. Lin Xiangru is notoriously tough in diplomacy, how could he agree to such a request that is almost indistinguishable from defeating a battle.
Sure enough, the next moment Han Xuwei immediately said: "This is absolutely impossible! Da Zhao really wants peace talks, but it's not such a peace talk! Da Zhao's condition is very simple. Compensation; Wei State must admit that all the land occupied by Da Zhao is owned by Wei State, and also compensate Da Zhao; the same is true for South Korea, and Da Zhao must be compensated.”
The two sides began a fierce verbal confrontation.
Negotiating peace is never something that can be reached in a few words. After all, behind every agreement on the negotiating table, thousands of citizens, lands, and cities are involved.
A whole day passed without any agreement being reached at all.
Han Xuwei only felt dry mouth, and almost fell because of numb feet when he stood up.
King Wei, King Han, and Ying Zichu on the opposite side were also parched and tired. They had been arguing all day, and no one could stand it.
Ying Zichu couldn't help but suggested, "Wait until tomorrow, you and I will bring one more visitor from each country, how about that?"
Yezhe belongs to an official position in the foreign affairs department, which means "those who pay homage to other monarchs".
Han Xuwei wanted to agree, but reason made him take a look at Zhao Kuo before agreeing.
Zhao Kuo smiled and said lightly: "Yes."
Han Xuwei breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Ying Zi: "Then it's settled."
Both sides returned to the city and camp.
With a bang, Han Xuwei fell on the wooden couch, and couldn't help complaining: "Mr. Wen Xin, look at that Zhao Kuo, who looks like the second child in heaven and earth. I'm really mad at you!"
Lin Xiangru couldn't help laughing: "Actually, having Wu Xinjun present is also a good thing, at least we can get enough favorable conditions."
Han Xuwei curled his lips and said, "Preferential offer?
This is not necessarily true.
If the old man Baidu said, if he is not there, it will be easier for the old man to perform. "
the next day.
Day three.
The peace talks between the two sides lasted for five days. From the beginning when the leaders of the two sides went to battle in person, to the foaming of their respective audiences, the voices of the two sides debated on the high platform every day. Just keep up with one, it can be said that I will appear on the stage after you sing.
Finally, the conditions are basically met.
Han Xuwei squinted his eyes and glanced at Zhao Kuo not far away.
Although Zhao Kuo came every day these days, he never expressed any opinions. He just sat there quietly with a wandering expression, which looked no different from a mascot.
This also gradually made Han Xuwei let go of his worries. Zhao Kuo did not interfere with the negotiation, and the old man had the final say on the negotiation.
So, Han Xuwei coughed calmly, and nodded slightly towards the foaming visitor.
This confidant of Han Xuwei immediately understood, and changed his original fierce rhetoric and style, saying: "Although you Korea is completely to blame, our Dazhao is a big country after all, and we don't want to be as fussy as you. In this respect terms can still be adopted.”
After the voice of the visitor fell, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
The quarrel over the last clause was also over, and all the terms of the agreement were released.
The Zhao State withdrew its troops, with Daliang City fifty miles to the east as the boundary, and all the lands of the Wei State that had been occupied were all owned by the State of Zhao.
Zhao Guo released all the captives and returned them to Qin, Wei and South Korea.
Wei Guo ceded land, paid compensation, compensated a large amount of money and materials, and obtained prisoners from Zhao Guo.
South Korea paid reparations, compensated a moderate amount of money and materials, and captured prisoners.
The Qin State withdrew its troops, compensated a small amount of money and materials, and captured prisoners.
Han Xuwei and Lin Xiangru looked at each other, and they both felt that the conditions were quite good, with smiles on their faces.
Han Xuwei coughed heavily and said, "Everyone, after our negotiations these days, the terms of the entire peace negotiation have been reached.
The old man has already shown Wu Zhu that tomorrow is an auspicious day for offering sacrifices to the heavens, so let us formally sign the peace treaty tomorrow. "
On the other side, Ying Zichu, Wei Wang, Han Wang and others naturally nodded.
But at this time, Zhao Kuo suddenly stood up.
This action instantly attracted everyone's attention. Under the gaze of everyone on the high platform, Zhao Kuo said such a sentence with a calm face.
"The Marquis cannot agree to this contract."
Chapter 396 Renegotiation, New Contract (33/35)
Zhao Kuo's voice fell, and the atmosphere on the entire high platform froze instantly.
Han Xuwei's face twitched violently, and he said with some difficulty: "Wu Xinjun, you..." Zhao Kuo looked at Han Xuwei and smiled: "Didn't the Grand Master hear clearly?
Ben Hou said that the content of this contract is not good, and Ben Hou cannot agree. "
Han Xuwei finally couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, his beard jumped wildly, and he shouted: "Mr. Wu Xin, have you forgotten that this old man is the envoy of this peace negotiation, and the old man's meaning is the Queen Mother's meaning!"
Zhao Kuo looked at Han Xuwei calmly, and said, "What Benhou means is only what Benhou means, but if Benhou says no, then it won't work!"
On the other side, Ying Zichu, King Han, King Wei and others watched this scene, all fell silent with different expressions.
Han Xuwei slammed the table and said: "Wu Xinjun, if you have any dissatisfaction, go back and talk to the Queen Mother!"
Zhao Kuo sneered and said, "Grand Master, with your level of negotiation and the result of the negotiation, it is no different from betraying the country.
If this Marquis agrees to you, then he is really irresponsible to the Queen Mother and the whole Great Zhao! "
While speaking, Zhao Kuo stood up, walked to the center of the high platform, and said coldly: "This Marquis declares that this agreement is invalid and must be renegotiated!"
Han Xuwei also exploded, roaring: "The peace agreement is valid, and the treaty will be formally signed tomorrow!"
Zhao Kuo laughed loudly, turned around abruptly, looked directly at Han Xuwei, and slowly walked towards Han Xuwei: "Master, you are so traitorous, are you impatient to live?"
Han Xuwei was taken aback, stood up subconsciously, and put on a vigilant posture: "Wu Xinjun, I don't know what you are talking about. I am now acting under the orders of the Queen Mother, and I will soon come to the best collegiate decision for Da Zhao." result!"
Zhao Kuo shook his head and said, "This is not the best collegial result for Da Zhao."
Han Xuwei said angrily: "Does Wu Xinjun think that he can negotiate a satisfactory result by himself?"
Zhao Kuo laughed loudly: "How will you know if you don't try?"
Zhao Kuo stopped suddenly, turned around and looked at Ying Zichu, King Wei, and King Han: "Negotiations must be re-negotiated, otherwise we will start a direct war between you and me tomorrow!"
Zhao Kuo's words are decisive and there is no room for it.
This confused everyone in Qin Hanwei.
After a while, Ying Zichu took a deep breath and said slowly, "I don't know what kind of negotiation terms Wu Xinjun wants?"
Zhao Kuo said without hesitation: "First, Qin must abolish the covenant with Han and Wei.
Secondly, Wei and South Korea must cede seven cities within a hundred miles of Yewang City.
As long as these two conditions are added, a peace agreement can be reached.
If not, then start the war tomorrow! "
After hearing Zhao Kuo's words, Ying Zichu gasped.
Abolishing the covenant with Han and Wei will prevent Qin from intervening in the war between Zhao, Han and Wei in the future, but considering that everyone is not trustworthy these days, this clause has little impact.
What is really influential is the latter clause, which is the clause "cede the seven cities within a hundred miles of Yewang City".
Yewang City is located on the south side of Taihangxing, and belongs to the intersection of the southern border of Zhao State, the eastern border of South Korea and the western border of Wei State.
If it is said that the handover territory between Han and Wei was originally in the shape of a "mouth", then after ceding the land of seven cities and hundreds of miles near Yewang City, the border between Han and Wei became a "concave". ", the missing part belongs to the territory ceded to Zhao State.
