Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

But if the country of Zhao can be defeated, and the country of Zhao is completely dragged down from its hegemony, it is inevitable that the cheap ginseng of the country of Yan will replace the expensive ginseng of the country of Zhao.

Thinking of this, the smile on King Yan's face became more intense: "That's right, I don't hide it from you, what I want to do is to reproduce the glory of my father and ancestors who dominated the world back then.

Now that this opportunity is in front of everyone, are you willing to help? "

Several important officials of the Yan Kingdom stood up one after another, and said respectfully: "The ministers are willing to help the king to create the hegemony of the Great Yan."

King Yan laughed out loud.

A burst of hurried footsteps broke the atmosphere in the hall where the monarch and his ministers were in harmony, and the eunuch of the Yan Kingdom rushed into the hall out of breath.

"My lord, the big thing is not good, the big thing is not good"

King Yan's expression changed, and he said, "What's going on?"

The eunuch ordered: "I just got the news that our army was defeated in Luoshui by Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo and now there are only [-] soldiers left in the hands of Chang Guojun Lejian, and we are leading the army to retreat north."

This news was like a basin of cold water poured directly on the heads of Yan Guojun and his ministers, and immediately silenced the entire hall.

King Yan took a deep breath, and lost his voice: "This, how is this possible?

Lord Chang sent a report a few days ago saying that everything is going well, and that Lord Wuxin Zhao Kuo will immediately lose his position as the chief general.”

The eunuch ordered: "This is a report written by Lord Chang himself. Please read it, Your Majesty."

Looking at the memorial in his hand, King Yan's face completely lost all color.

The content written above is the same as what the eunuch order said, the only extra paragraph is Lejian's apology.

King Yan stared at the memorial in his hand, and after a long time, he suddenly showed a wry smile.

"Everyone said that they can win and win, but the result is still alas.

Shaking the mountain is easy, but shaking Wu Xinjun is difficult."

Daliang, the palace city of Wei State.

King Wei looked at Wei Wuji, Lord Xinling who was kneeling in front of him expressionlessly, with an extremely complicated expression, filled with anger, disappointment, bewilderment and many other emotions.

Right next to King Wei, Lord Longyang also looked at Lord Xinling with a very shocked gaze.

All this is because of the news that Mr. Xinling just returned to Daliang Palace.

Fifty thousand Wei troops set out to march, and less than 2 people followed Lord Xinling and fled back to Daliang City in embarrassment.

King Wei said coldly: "Mr. Xinling, don't you have anything to say?"

Lord Xinling's face turned pale, and he said: "My brother has nothing to say, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

At this moment, Lord Xinling is no longer the high-spirited Lord Xinling, nor is he the incomparably tough Lord Xinling who has been defeated and fought repeatedly.

The defeat this time seems to have destroyed the last line of psychological defense in the heart of this once-famous virtuous gentleman, making Mr. Xinling's original handsome face look very haggard, and even the white hair that should not appear at this age has appeared on the temples. hair.

King Wei sighed, and said to Lord Longyang and Jin Bi next to him, "You two gentlemen, tell me, how will I deal with Lord Xinling?"

Lord Longyang hesitated for a moment, and said, "Just deal with it according to the law."

Jin Bi said, "Remove Lord Xinling from all his official positions, and put him under house arrest."

King Wei fell into hesitation.

Lord Longyang's lawful disposition may sound trivial, but in fact, given Lord Xinling's failure, the only outcome of the legal disposition is execution and Jin Bi's suggestion of dismissal from office and house arrest, on the contrary, can save Lord Xinling's life.

Do you want to kill Lord Xinling?

After a while, seeing this face that was very similar to his own, King Wei let out a long sigh.

The king of Wei said slowly: "Wei Wuji, Lord Xinling, you have been defeated repeatedly by Zhao Kuo, the Lord of Zhao Guowu, and you have caused very serious losses to Great Wei. It has caused Great Wei to lose land and land all the time. It is a great crime for the widows of the country now! Deprive you of all official positions, order you to shut yourself up at home and think about your mistakes, and don't step out of the house without orders from the widow, are you convinced?"

After all, King Wei still couldn't bear to make up his mind to kill Wei Wuji, Lord Xinling.

After all, this is the only younger brother in the world who has the same father and mother as King Wei.

A few years ago, the King of Wei was worried about Lord Xinling's meritorious service and even the possibility of usurping the throne, but now that Lord Xinling has lost so many battles, regardless of his reputation or power, he is no longer what he used to be. What does King Wei have to do? So worried?

Lord Xinling trembled slightly, and said: "I thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

Seeing the back of Lord Xinling leaving, King Wei couldn't help but shook his head, turned to Lord Longyang and said, "From now on, Ji, you will be in charge of the government affairs that Lord Xinling was originally in charge of."

Long Yangjun was overjoyed, and his male face full of makeup became softer and softer: "My lord, thank you, Your Majesty."

Jin Bi on the side watched this scene and could only remain silent.

In the past, Jin Bi and Lord Xinling were still political enemies, but at this moment, Jin Bi couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in his heart, as well as a kind of confusion from the bottom of his heart.

"If Kuang Liang can't defeat Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo, is there anyone in this world who can defeat Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo?"

Jin Bi thought about this question, lost his mind for a long time, like a statue without a soul.

Qi State, Li Xiacheng.

A short but fierce war had just ended, the gates of the city had been opened wide, and there were densely packed corpses lying around, and the mighty Zhao State army was entering the city.

Surrounded by many Chi You troops, Zhao Kuo led the main force of the Zhao-Han coalition army into the city.

Suddenly, Xu Li galloped up on his horse and reported respectfully to Zhao Kuo: "My lord, the Prime Minister of Qi State Hou Sheng came as an envoy to discuss peace, and I am waiting for your reception five miles away."

"Win later?"

Zhao Kuo was taken aback for a moment, then laughed: "Very good.

Find a clean mansion in the city, and Ben Hou meets this maternal uncle. "

When Zhao Kuo spoke, his eyes sparkled.

It’s not that it’s not time to report, Hou Sheng has done a lot of disgusting things back and forth, and now it’s time to let him know what retribution is

Chapter 526 You are right, so you can get out

A few miles away, Hou Sheng sat in the carriage, stuck his head out of the car window and looked at Lixia City in the distance, feeling uneasy.

Hou Sheng knew what happened in Lixia City just now.

Lixia City is just a small city with a population of just over 500, and the defenders are no more than 10,000. How can it possibly withstand the attack of [-]+ Zhao Han's army?

Hou Sheng doesn't care about life and death, the only thing he cares about is whether he can complete the peace negotiation task alive and return to Linzi safe and sound?

Hou Sheng had no confidence in his heart.

A group of Zhao cavalry came galloping, and the leading officer said coldly: "Mr. Wu Xin said, let you follow me into the city."

The news left Hou Sheng with mixed feelings.

This may mean that Hou Sheng can indeed see Wu Xinjun, but it still cannot prove whether Hou Sheng can complete the mission of this mission.

Half an hour later, Hou Sheng got off the carriage in the largest and most luxurious Li Xia Ling's mansion in Li Xia City.

Hou Sheng, who had just stepped off the carriage, was taken aback because he saw hundreds of Zhao Jun soldiers staring at him with murderous looks in front of him.

These soldiers of the Zhao army were tall and burly, the weapons in their hands gleamed coldly, and their thick legs were more or less bowed, which was a symbol of riding horses all the year round.

"This should be the Chi You army that Wu Xinjun cultivated with his own hands. It is so sturdy, it really is a rare elite in the world."

Thinking about it this way, Hou Sheng couldn't help but feel a little frustrated. After all, this extremely elite army is the enemy of Qi State, and it has just defeated the elite Qi army led by Kuang Liang, crushing King Qi and Hou Sheng. all dreams.

Dominated by such extremely complicated emotions, Hou Sheng walked into the lobby, and saw the man who made him terrified, but had no choice but to approach.

Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo was sitting on the head seat in the lobby, staring at a piece of information on the table in front of him, seemingly in a daze, and didn't notice Hou Sheng's arrival.

Hou Sheng coughed, arched his hands towards Zhao Kuo, and said, "It's been a long time since we've been away, and Mr. Wu Xinjun's demeanor is even better than before. I really admire and admire you."

There was silence in the lobby, Zhao Kuo didn't seem to hear Hou Sheng's words at all, and still looked at the piece of paper in front of him quietly.

Cold sweat began to break out from Hou Sheng's back, which was obviously not a good sign.

After a while, Hou Sheng's legs also began to tremble a little.

Just when Hou Sheng began to consider whether to kneel directly, Zhao Kuo finally raised his head and glanced at Hou Sheng: "Sit."

The short word made Hou Sheng feel like he was being pardoned, and hurriedly said, "Thank you Wu Xinjun."

Zhao Kuo looked at Hou Sheng who was very embarrassed after sitting down, and said lightly: "Why did King Qi send you here?"

Hou Sheng laughed dryly, and said: "Wu Xinjun, I haven't seen Wan'er for many years, I wonder how she and the children are doing now?

Alas, speaking of which, the uncle of the old man is also incompetent, and he hasn't visited them for so long. "

Hou Sheng is the uncle of Zhao Kuo's wife Tian Wan, so he also wants to use this to ease the awkward atmosphere with Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo still had that calm tone: "This Marquis asks you, why did King Qi send you here?

If you don't want to answer, get out for Benhou. "

Zhao Kuo didn't intend to give Hou Sheng any face.

Hou Sheng is a greedy and ruthless person, a real villain.

Before Zhao Guo ginseng, Hou Sheng was affectionate to Zhao Kuo. Later, with Yan Guo ginseng, Hou Sheng cut off all contacts with Zhao Kuo without hesitation, and advocated war against Zhao Guo.

The villain needs to be taught a lesson. After being interrupted by Zhao Kuo mercilessly, Hou Sheng's face froze and he became very embarrassed.

But from Zhao Kuo's tone, Hou Sheng could feel that Zhao Kuo was not joking.

Therefore, Hou Sheng could only bite the bullet and apologized with a smile: "This is the kind of Lord Wu Xin. Our king was bewitched by Kuangliang before, and rashly sent troops to provoke Zhao Guo, which violated the military prestige of the Shang Kingdom. Qi mistake.

Now our king has fully awakened, knowing that Zhao Guo is the real overlord of the world, and he dare not continue to resist Wu Xinjun's military might, so he specially sent this old man to ask for peace.

As a bargaining chip for the peace talks, Da Qi is willing to cede it." Zhao Kuo said suddenly, interrupting Hou Sheng's words directly: "Enough is enough, don't say any more.

It is impossible for Da Zhao to negotiate peace with you, let alone Ben Hou. "

These words pierced Hou Sheng's chest like a sharp knife, causing Hou Sheng's body to tremble.

If the peace negotiation is rejected, how can Hou Sheng repay King Qi?

Hou Sheng hurriedly begged: "I also ask Wu Xinjun to be considerate, I am willing to donate [-] million yuan to Wu Xinjun, as a small return for Wu Xinjun to help us report to the Queen Mother."

After Hou Sheng's voice fell, Zhao Kuo's face moved slightly.

One hundred million yuan is not an insignificant figure even for Zhao Kuo.

In the future, to win over this person's level of stinginess, to be able to spend [-] million yuan is definitely a big blow.

Hou Sheng was keenly aware of the fluctuations in Zhao Kuo's face, and hurriedly said: "Wu Xinjun, as long as you can help facilitate the peace talks between the two countries, whether it is ginseng, fiefdom or other more aspects, as long as Wu Xinjun puts forward conditions, our country of Qi will Can be considered, can be discussed!

Zhao Kuo looked at Hou Sheng in surprise, showing a surprised expression for the first time.

This sentence can not help but represent the attitude of winning after the victory, and it is also the embodiment of King Qi's will.

You must know that before this, Zhao Kuo led his army to besiege Jicheng, the capital of Yan State, and Daliang, the capital of Wei State, and even led his army to break through Xianyang, the capital of Qin State. King Qi did not want Linzi to become the fourth city besieged or even broken by Zhao Kuo. capital.

Considering that Hou Sheng is indeed a real villain, and the current war situation between Zhao and Qi, Zhao Kuo has no doubt that as long as he puts forward the conditions, Hou Sheng and King Qi will do their best to meet them.

Yes, Zhao Kuo's own conditions, not Zhao Guo's conditions.

A smile appeared on Zhao Kuo's face.

Seeing the smile on Zhao Kuo's face, Hou Sheng felt certain, and secretly said: "Finally, this Wu Xinjun has been dealt with, but this time it is really about to bleed."

Just when Hou Sheng was immersed in this kind of joy, Zhao Kuo spoke.

"Hou Sheng, your opinion is very good, and the Marquis has listened to it.

Now, you can go. "

Hou Sheng was stunned.

After several seconds, Hou Sheng finally understood, and looked at Zhao Kuo in disbelief: "Wu Xinjun means..." Zhao Kuo calmly raised his hand and pointed to the door outside the lobby: "Benhou said, You can get out now.

You should be thankful that you are the envoy of Qi, otherwise you would die here today. "

Hou Sheng opened his mouth wide, unable to speak at all.

Chapter 527 Li Mu Questions Zhao Kuo's Strategy

A moment later, when Hou Sheng was already standing outside the gate of the mansion, he still couldn't believe what just happened.

After throwing out such a moving condition, Wu Xinjun actually refused?

impossible?

Except for the monarchs of several other vassal states, Hou Sheng really didn't think that anyone would be able to refuse such a generous offer from Qi.
