Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

It is said that it was common for the ancients to have three wives and four concubines, but it was also common for the ancients to have discord in the harem.

Tian Wan looked at Yi Quwei, with a gentle smile on her lips, and suddenly took two steps forward, holding Yi Quwei's hands.

"My sister will be my family from now on, so why be so cautious?

Previously, my sister was a little worried that Jun Hou had found a woman with an unattractive appearance to come back, but now seeing her sister's stunning beauty, my sister was relieved. "

Yiquwei froze for a moment, looked at Tian Wan with a smile on her face, and finally came back to her senses, and hurriedly said: "My sister is also very beautiful, the two sisters are the most beautiful women I have ever seen!"

Tian Wan laughed and said, "Let's go, it's cold outside, go in and sit and talk."

Looking at Yi Quwei who was taken away by Tian Wan, Zhao Kuo let out a sigh of relief.

Zhao Meng, who was riding on Zhao Kuo's left shoulder, suddenly said, "Father, I'm afraid!"

Zhao Meng's words immediately got the approval of the sister on the other side.

Zhao Kuo's face froze, and he glared at Zhao Meng feigning anger: "Father is a great hero, and he is not afraid of any monsters!"

When Zhao Kuo turned his head and his beard just touched Zhao Meng's thigh, little Zhao Meng giggled: "Father, I'm scared!"

A moment later, in the lobby, Zhao Kuo explained everything.

After Tian Wan finished listening, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed on her pretty face: "Husband is going back to the battlefield tomorrow?"

Zhao Kuo sighed and said, "Yes.

The Qin army may launch an attack at any time, I must rush back to Hedong as soon as possible, so that I have more time to prepare. "

Tian Wan was silent for a moment, then said: "Then sister Yi Quwei also wants to go with her husband?"

Zhao Kuo hesitated for a moment and said, "That's right, the Marquis still needs her to communicate with the people in Yiqu Country."

Tian Wan said: "My husband's move is inappropriate."

Zhao Kuo was stunned: "What's wrong?"

Tian Wan glanced at Yiquwei, and said to Zhao Kuo with some reproach: "Sister Yiquwei is also the princess of Yiqu Kingdom after all, how can she follow her husband so anonymously?"

Zhao Kuo was dumbfounded, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Tian Wan stood up, smiled at Yi Quwei: "If my sister doesn't mind, how about letting my husband marry you tonight?"

Tian Wan's words seemed to drop a bomb in an instant, making Yi Quwei's face blush up to her neck.

Tian Wan said with a smile: "Why, isn't my sister unwilling?"

Yiquwei hurriedly raised her head and said, "Of course I would."

Even with Yi Quwei's character, she was too ashamed after saying this, and didn't dare to look up at all.

Tian Wan nodded, and said to Zhao Kuo with a smile, "Since that's the case, the Marquis won't object, right?"

Zhao Kuo froze for a moment, then said: "But, it's already night now, how can there be time?"

Tian Wan and Qiu'er looked at each other, laughed at the same time, and stretched out their hands: "Come here!"

The next moment, many maids filed in and left surrounded by Tian Wan, Qiu'er and Yi Quwei.

Before Zhao Kuo came back to his senses, Xu Li had already walked in with several Zhao family housekeepers holding a set of black dresses: "Your Majesty, please take a bath and change clothes quickly."

Zhao Kuo finally came to his senses when he walked out of the lobby surrounded by Xu Li and others and saw the lively scene outside the lobby.

The wedding has already been prepared!In this era, marrying a wife is different from taking a concubine.

Marrying a wife requires the "six rituals" one or two months in advance, while marrying a concubine is very simple, and only requires the last step of "welcoming the bride".

Many people even didn't even do wedding reception because of the objection of their regular wives. They just bought a carriage and took them back to the house, and then the family had a meal and it was over.

But Tian Wan had obviously thought of this a long time ago, and the entire Wuxinjun Manor had become a sea of ​​excitement, with hundreds of retainers, stewards, and left-behind Chi You soldiers from Wuxinjun's mansion all participating , turning the night into a grand carnival.

At midnight, the carnival reached its climax.

Zhao Kuo and Yi Quwei, who had already put on a black bridal gown, appeared in front of everyone.

Compared with the heroic and heroic attire before, Yiquwei in the wedding dress at this moment exuded an astonishing beauty from the inside out, which made every person in Wu Xinjun's mansion who saw her couldn't help admiring: "Only such a beautiful woman is worthy of our lord!"

"I've seen you, and I've met the third lady! May you and your wife have a good relationship for a hundred years and have a son soon!"

Hundreds of thousands of people in Wu Xinjun's mansion saluted the newlyweds, their voices filled with joy from the heart.

For the courtiers, a lord who has many women and has many children is a good lord. Just having one wife, one concubine and three children is not the performance of a good lord!In the wedding room, Zhao Kuo and Yi Quwei sat opposite each other.

Looking at the beautiful face in front of him, Zhao Kuo was also very moved.

Gentle and dignified, playful and cute, with a hot body, these three types have already been brought into the residence of the Marquis, what is left to be done next?

Yiquwei blushed, and said softly: "Husband, husband, should we, should we rest?"

Zhao Kuo blinked and said anxiously, "Are you in that hurry?"

This sentence immediately made Yi Quwei feel ashamed again, and she said coquettishly: "No, I, my concubine, are just eh!"

At some point, the lights were blown out, and the room was plunged into darkness.

Yi Quwei only felt her body suddenly suspended in the air, and she couldn't help screaming, and subconsciously hugged Zhao Kuo's neck.

Zhao Kuo tightened his arms slightly, feeling the quiet fragrance of the beautiful woman in his arms, and laughed.

"My dear lady, are you tired after traveling for so many days?

go, rest! "

A night of spring.

Chapter 432 The Peace Negotiation between Qi State and Yan State

The next morning.

People are in good spirits on happy occasions. Although they fought fiercely all night, Zhao Kuo is still in high spirits at the moment, with a smile on his face.

After breakfast, Zhao Kuo left with Yi Quwei and the others.

Before leaving, Zhao Kuo took Tian Wan's hand and said very sincerely: "Thank you, madam."

Facts have proved that having a good wife can really solve a lot of troubles for a man.

Tian Wan still smiled dignifiedly and gently, and gently gave Zhao Kuo a hug: "Husband, just go with peace of mind. Although my concubine is weak in intelligence, I will definitely take care of this family for my husband."

Zhao Kuo laughed loudly, and kissed Tian Wan's beautiful face forcefully: "With this virtuous wife, I will have no worries!"

Zhao Kuo and his party hurriedly left Handan and headed towards Hedong County.

It was not only Zhao Kuo who hurried on the road, but also envoys sent from Handan towards Yan and Qi.

Linzi, the palace city of Qi State.

Since hearing the news of Jidu's great victory, King Qi's mood has become very good.

"The envoy of the State of Zhao seeks an audience, and wants to seek peace with the widow?"

After hearing such a report, King Qi's mood became even better.

In the past few years, Zhao Guo has swept across China, even as Qin Guo was beaten by Zhao Guo one after another. The princes trembled under Zhao Guo's prestige.

Only Qi State is an exception.

Qi State not only defeated Zhao State's invasion in the Battle of Gaotang, but also defeated Zhao State again in the Battle of Jidu just now.

It is very difficult to defeat Zhao Guo once, let alone twice?

Look, now Zhao Guo's envoys are all coming to the widow to ask for peace.

Who said Zhao is the most powerful country in the world?

The widow and the state of Qi were the first to refuse!With such a happy mood, King Qi said with a smile: "Come on, invite the envoy in and see what he wants to say to the widow."

A moment later, an envoy from the State of Zhao appeared and saluted King Qi respectfully: "The ministers have seen the king."

King Qi put on airs deliberately, and said in a nonchalant manner: "The Queen Mother Zhao sent you here, why exactly?"

The emissary said: "To tell you the truth, your Majesty, the foreign ministers came here at the order of our Empress Dowager, and are willing to cede eight cities in the land of Maiqiu, with a total area of ​​[-] miles, to the Qi State as a condition for negotiating peace with the Qi State. .”

King Qi snorted, and said, "I thought you'd wait, you said that you want to cede the five hundred miles of Maiqiu to the widow?"

The envoy nodded and said, "Exactly, Your Majesty."

King Qi took a deep breath, and his heart skipped a beat.

The land of Maiqiu is a plain area in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, which is quite close to the mouth of the sea. It used to be the territory of Qi State, but was later captured by Zhao State.

Because this area is a plain area, it has always been rich in food production and has a large population. It is an out-and-out good place.

This condition really made King Qi's heart flutter.

King Qi took a deep breath, collected himself, and said: "The envoy goes down to rest for a while, and let the widow think about it."

After the envoys retreated, King Qi said to the important ministers of Qi State in front of him, "Do you think Zhao State's opinion is acceptable?"

An important official who was usually close to Kuang Liang immediately said, "My lord, didn't the chief minister of Kuang Liang submit the memorial a few days ago?

Da Sima's claim is that he shouldn't make peace with Zhao Guo, so please think twice. "

King Qi hesitated when he heard this.

As the leader of the army, Kuang Liang was also the leader who defeated Zhao Guo one after another in the past few years. His opinion must undoubtedly be taken seriously.

King Qi's hesitation was seen by Qi Guo Xiangbang Housheng, which made Housheng a little anxious.

Why is Hou Sheng so anxious?

Because Zhao Guolai's envoy not only sent Hou Sheng a large sum of gold, silver and jewelry, but also made a promise that made Hou Sheng's heart beat.

As long as Hou Sheng can help reach a peace agreement with Zhao Qi this time, then Zhao Guo is willing to hand over [-]% of the profits from the ginseng business to Hou Sheng!Thinking of this, Hou Sheng immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

King Qi glanced at Hou Sheng, and said, "It's okay to say it, the queen."

Due to Qi's continuous military victories in recent years, Hou Sheng, as a prime minister, has also received quite good evaluations from the people of Qi and even the whole of China. It is also more trustworthy.

Hou Sheng said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I feel that it is time to accept it as soon as it is good, and negotiate a peace with Zhao Guo."

King Qi asked, "Why?"

Hou Sheng said: "Your Majesty, please think about it. Although the Zhao army was defeated, there are still more than 7 people defending Wuyang City. It is not a short time for our army to conquer Wuyang City.

If the people of Zhao Guo reorganize a large army within this period of time, led by Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo, does the king think that Sima has a chance of winning at that time? "

King Qi frowned, and said after a while, "The chances of winning are not great."

Although he was very reluctant to admit it, King Qi had to admit that Zhao Kuo, Zhao Guowu Xinjun, was indeed the existence of Zhao Guoding's Sea God Needle.

Moreover, in the Battle of Lingqiu, Zhao Kuo turned defeat into victory, which further proved Zhao Kuo's horror.

Hou Sheng said: "So, why not take advantage of this opportunity to negotiate a peace directly?

As long as the peace negotiation is successful, Daqi not only has the reputation of defeating Zhao, but also gains the benefits of the land of Maiqiu. At the same time, he can sit back and watch countries like Qin go to fight with Zhao. Is it better to continue fighting with the risk of being overturned by Wu Xinjun? "

King Qi was completely convinced by Hou Sheng, nodded and said: "That's right, it's true.

Come on, call the envoy of Zhao Guo in! "

On this day, the envoys of the State of Zhao formally signed a contract with the King of Qi in the palace city of Linzi, and the State of Zhao ceded five hundred miles of the land of Maiqiu to the State of Qi, and the two countries formally ceased war.

Three days later, Jidu, Yanwang Palace.

King Yan looked at the Zhao Guo envoy in front of him, and felt that life was really a dream.

Not long ago, Zhao Guo's 20 troops came menacingly, planning to annex Yan Guo in one fell swoop.

And now?

The envoys of Zhao State are very respectful, and they only hope to negotiate peace with Yan State!King Yan suppressed his excitement, and calmly said to the Zhao Guo envoy in front of him: "Okay, I understand the meaning of the queen mother, the envoy will go down first and wait, let the widow discuss with the ministers."

After the envoy of Zhao State retreated, King Yan smiled and said to the ministers of Yan State in front of him, "Masters, do you think I want to negotiate peace with Zhao State?"

Several ministers of Yan State looked at each other, and finally Guo Wei, Prime Minister of Yan State, gave the answer: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that peace should be negotiated."

King Yan snorted, and said somewhat unwillingly: "Why?

Zhao Guo came to attack Dayan repeatedly, and the widow rarely gained the upper hand. It is really a bit irritating to negotiate a peace like this. "

Guo Kui smiled wryly and said, "Your Majesty, please listen to what this old minister has to say.

Dayan has been devastated by wars in recent years, and its national strength has long been far inferior to that of the past. The victory this time is only because of Qi State's assistance, and it is not a victory achieved by Dayan alone.

Judging from Lord Chang's report two days ago, there are only about 4 people in Dayan's army who still have combat effectiveness.
