Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Qi State has eleven cities with a population of 10 in the north of the Yellow River, and now they all belong to Da Zhao. There should be no dissatisfaction from the Queen Mother. "

Zhao Kuo nodded and said, "This is the truth, but there is one important point."

Pang Nuan couldn't help but asked, "Which point?"

Zhao Kuo said calmly: "Every victory is won by the soldiers of Great Zhao who fought bloody and sacrificed a lot of lives. We can't let them die in vain, let alone let Qi go because of the bullshit friendship between countries. .

We should squeeze Qi State to the greatest extent and let Qi State spit out more things, understand?

Let's go, Pang Qing, Ben Hou will show you a good show today. "

With that said, Zhao Kuo stood up and walked outside.

Pang Nuan was a little puzzled, but still followed quickly.

The two of them walked through the palace city of Qi Kingdom in Linzi. This palace city was magnificent, and many buildings were painted purple.

Purple was the favorite color of Qi Huangong, and later became the favorite color of Qi people.

After walking for a while, the main hall of the State of Qi has appeared. This main hall is located on the Huan Gong Terrace, with 130 steps.

Pang Nuan sighed in his heart as he stepped onto the stage.

Being a minister is also a physical effort.

After a while, the two walked into the main hall one after the other, and Pang Nuan was taken aback.

There were actually people in the main hall, and there were quite a few of them.

Qi Wang Tianjian, Qi Prime Minister won, Qi Guo Da Sima Kuangliang and other seven or eight people.

It was these people who decided that Qi State would take the initiative to attack Zhao State. However, they did not achieve the desired victory in the end, but instead became Zhao Kuo's prisoners.

The eyes of the monarchs and ministers of Qi State were fixed on Zhao Kuo, with complicated expressions.

Zhao Kuo looked calm, bowed to King Qi, and then took Pang Nuan to sit down at the nearest position to King Qi's right, just opposite Hou Sheng and Kuang Liang.

King Qi took a deep breath and said, "Wu Xinjun, what are you going to do?"

Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "To tell you the truth, the foreign ministers are mainly here for the peace treaty just reached."

Although King Qi was captured, Zhao Kuo actually did not humiliate King Qi, and still maintained the dignity of the king.

Grand Sima Kuangliang of the Qi State changed his face, and said: "These days, we have reached a peace agreement with Zhou Qing of your country. Is Wu Xinjun not satisfied?"

Zhao Kuo nodded and said, "I'm really not satisfied, it needs to be re-drafted."

Zhao Kuo's words caused quite a stir in the hall.

Kuang Liang said angrily on the spot: "Zhou Qing is the peace negotiator appointed by the Empress Dowager of your country. We also negotiated with Zhou Qing in good faith and reached an agreement after ten days. Why do we have to re-draft?" Looking at Kuang Liang with an expression like a fool: "Of course it's because Ben Hou is not satisfied."

There was a sudden silence in the hall.

Zhao Kuo disagreed.

This sentence sounds very pretentious and underwhelming, but all the monarchs and ministers of Qi State present had to admit that Zhao Kuo did have this capital.

With a bit of helplessness, King Qi said, "Then, what exactly will Wu Xinjun do to agree to negotiate a peace?"

As the saying goes, people have to bow their heads under the eaves. At present, the life and death of Qi's monarchs and ministers are still in the hands of Zhao Kuo, and they don't actually have much confidence.

Zhao Kuo tapped his fingers and said, "First of all, in addition to all the cities in the north of the Yellow River, Qi State should also cede all the areas under the jurisdiction of Gaotang City to Da Zhao.

Secondly, the future ginseng business of Qi State will be divided into [-]% and [-]% by Da Zhao, and [-]% by Da Zhao.

At the same time, Qi State shall not allow any ginseng from Yan State to enter Qi State.

In the end, the state of Qi must disband the Jixia Academy and invite all the scholars from the Jixia Academy to Handan.

Accomplish these three points, plus the conditions you originally agreed to, this time the peace negotiation will be considered a success. "

After Zhao Kuo finished speaking, the faces of Qi's monarchs and ministers changed drastically at the same time.

If Zhou Shaofen's condition is to cut the flesh of the Qi State, then Zhao Kuo's conditions are completely bleeding the blood of the State of Qi!

Chapter 546 Hang Housheng up

Qi's monarch and ministers had very ugly expressions.

Kuang Liang couldn't help but said: "Wu Xinjun, these conditions of yours are too much, aren't they?"

Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "Where is it too much?"

Kuang Liangqiang suppressed the anger in his heart, and said: "Gaotang City was originally the five capitals of Daqi, and the area under its jurisdiction is nearly one-fifth of Daqi. In addition to all the land on the north bank of the Yellow River, you cut it away at once. Don't you think it's too much for about [-]% of Daqi's land?"

Zhao Kuo nodded, and said very seriously: "Benhou really doesn't think it's too much, who made me a winner?

Grand Sima of Kuangliang, if you could give me some strength to defeat this Marquis, how could you, your king, and your country of Qi be reduced to this state? "

Kuang Liang's face was flushed with anger by Zhao Kuo's words, and he almost fainted from anger.

The faces of the monarchs and ministers of Qi State in the hall were extremely ugly, but no one could refute it yet.

Although Qi was the loser in the war?

If you lose, even breathing is wrong!Zhao Kuo looked around at the kings and ministers of Qi State present, and said lightly: "This Marquis is here to tell you today that the condition is just such a condition.

If you don't want to agree, it doesn't matter, I will come back in a month, and I think you should be very willing to agree. "

The threat in Zhao Kuo's words was very obvious, which made Qi's monarchs and ministers feel both angry and deeply afraid at the same time.

The pressure on this Wu Xinjun is too great!Qi Guo Xiangbang Hou Sheng hesitated in his heart, should he speak?

In the past few days of peace talks, Kuang Liang was basically discussing with Zhou Shaofen. Although Hou Sheng wanted to talk a lot, he couldn't get in at all.

As the saying goes, there is a specialization in the art industry, and Hou Sheng's specialty is to help the king of Qi make money and enjoy various things. When it comes to these diplomacies, he has a dark eye and doesn't understand anything.

But Hou Sheng had already hated King Qi, if he didn't make any contribution in the peace talks, how would he guarantee his status in Qi State in the future?

Now that Kuang Liang was speechless by Zhao Kuo, it was obviously the best chance for Hou Sheng to speak.

It doesn't matter how outstanding the performance can be, at least let the king of Qi see that the victory after the victory was indeed for the benefit of the state of Qi.

Thinking of this, Hou Sheng finally restrained the fear in his heart, gritted his teeth and said, "Wu Xinjun, although you have indeed won, it doesn't mean that you can do whatever you want, right?

The Queen Mother of Zhao State agreed to negotiate a peace, so don't the other princes have any opinion on your Zhao State?

Even though your country of Zhao is in full swing, if you really insist on bullying our country of Qi too much, in the future the princes will attack your country of Zhao, you will not be able to resist it, right? "

When Hou Sheng spoke, other people, including King Qi, were quite surprised and cast their gazes one after another.

Unexpectedly, this Qi Guo Xiangbang, who did not have a good reputation, would act so tough this time.

Zhao Kuo also looked at Hou Sheng in surprise, but he soon realized it and couldn't help laughing.

This late winner actually wants to use Ben Hou as a stepping stone?

Zhao Kuo's gaze made Hou Sheng's heart pounding, but at this moment Hou Sheng actually had no way out, so he could only grit his teeth and persist, looking at Zhao Kuo without giving in.

Zhao Kuo clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Excellent.

If this Marquis hadn't known Hou Xiang very well, he would have thought that Hou Xiang was really a loyal minister for the state of Qi.

Prime Minister, to tell you the truth, if you hadn't managed the country well and spent a lot of money in Qi's treasury to enjoy it, this Marquis might not have conquered Linzi so easily this time. "

After finishing speaking, Zhao Kuo laughed out loud.

Zhao Kuo's laughter slapped Hou Sheng's face like a slap, causing Hou Sheng to turn pale immediately.

Zhao Kuo is expressly stating that because of Hou Sheng and King Qi's extravagance and lust, Qi State did not have enough funds to invest in the army, which eventually led to the current situation.

What's more damning is that what Zhao Kuo said is still true, and there is no way to refute it!Thinking of this, Qi Wang looked at Hou Sheng suddenly with a bit of anger.

It was Hou Sheng, a courtier who misled everyone, that brought Da Qi to where he is today!The other ministers also glared at Hou Sheng.

In all fairness, everyone present is responsible for the state of Qi.

But it is human nature not to like to admit that we are wrong, and this has always been the case.

Why not be able to dump the blame on others?

Hou Sheng clearly felt the change in the atmosphere, and he was instantly dumbfounded.

Originally, he wanted to create a tough image of being strong and never being humiliated, but how did he become a sinner of Qi after saying something?

Hou Sheng panicked, and even stuttered a little: "Wu Xinjun, you, you don't talk nonsense, the old man doesn't mean that!"

Zhao Kuo shrugged his shoulders and said, "If you say there is no, then there is no?

Speaking of which, this Marquis is also the son-in-law of Qi State, so let's do something good for Qi State today.

Come on, hang Hou Sheng to Benhou on the flagpole for three days and three nights! "

After Zhao Kuo's words fell, Li Mu immediately appeared with a few Chi You army warriors who were like wolves and tigers, and immediately set up Housheng and walked back.

Hou Sheng really panicked now, and shouted: "Mr. Wu Xin, you can't do this! Mr. Wu Xin, are you crazy?

Wu Xinjun, let this old man go, this old man is your maternal uncle, help, help!" Amidst the screams, Hou Sheng's voice gradually faded away.

Zhao Kuo laughed, and said to King Qi: "After all, the king is also my wife's elder brother. This is what I should do, so there is no need to thank me."

King Qi: "" At this moment, King Qi really wanted to beat Zhao Kuo violently, did the widow ask you to do it?

Zhao Kuo smiled and said seriously, "Okay, Your Majesty.

Agree or disagree, tell me your answer.

By the way, this Marquis can give the king a friendly reminder that just two days ago, Chu State Order Yin Chunshen Jun Huang Xie led his army into Qi State.

Your Majesty must still remember the Battle of Langya a few years ago, right?

This time, what Chunshen Jun led the army to do, there should be no need for Ben Hou to explain in detail. "

The faces of the monarchs and ministers of Qi State changed again.

In the battle of Langya a few years ago, Qi State finally defeated Chu State.

Now that Qi State is in trouble, and Chu State took advantage of the vacancy, does Qi State still have the ability to defeat Chu State?

More importantly, if the stalemate with Zhao Kuo continues like this, Qi State will not even be able to organize an army to meet Chu State!King Qi knew that Zhao Kuo's information was to put pressure on Qi, but King Qi really had nothing to do.

Finally, King Qi gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice, "You don't need to say any more, Mr. Wu Xin, I promise you all the conditions!"

Chapter 547 Qi State, but that's all

King Qi had to agree.

Generally speaking, there are two situations in which negotiations occur. One is that the two sides are evenly matched, and the other is that the superior party cannot completely eliminate the inferior party for the time being.

This negotiation between Zhao State and Qi State obviously belongs to the latter, and the disadvantage of Qi State is almost infinite.

Everyone understands that if it is not because of the strong opposition from the other five vassal states, then with Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo's ability to lead the army, it is only a matter of time before Zhao continues to fight and destroy Qi.

Moreover, because the core leadership of Qi State was wiped out in Linzi City, and the local area of ​​Qi State was wiped out by Li Mu, Qi State is now unable to mobilize a powerful state machine to continue to resist Zhao State.

At present, Chu State's taking advantage of the vacancy has further expanded the crisis of Qi State.

If Qi State continues to insist on not giving in, and if things go well with Chu State, maybe Qi State will not perish in the hands of Zhao State, but will perish in the hands of Chu State!No matter how stupid King Qi is, he still has the most basic common sense analysis.

So King Qi chose to make concessions and fully accept Zhao Kuo's conditions, even though this was an out-and-out bloodletting for Qi.

Keep the green hills here, no need to worry about no firewood!Looking at King Qi's mournful face, Zhao Kuo smiled happily.

Although it is said that King Qi is Tian Wan's elder brother, everyone is an enemy after all. Zhao Kuo can treat King Qi preferentially and prevent King Qi from being humiliated, but he still has to get the benefits he deserves.

This is politics.

Zhao Kuo snapped his fingers and said loudly, "Come here, invite Zhou Qing over here, and sign the peace treaty today."

An hour later, the contract between Zhao and Qi was formally signed.

The specific terms are as follows: Qi State cede all the jurisdiction of Gaotang among the five capitals, plus all the land north of the Yellow River to Zhao State.

The State of Qi officially disbanded the Jixia Academy, and recommended all remaining scholars in the Jixia Academy to go to the Zhao Academy.

The State of Qi officially prohibited any ginseng from the State of Yan from entering the territory of the State of Qi in any way.

In return, the Zhao army led by Zhao Kuo will officially withdraw from the territory of Qi within ten days, ending the war.

The signing of this contract is undoubtedly a great benefit for Zhao Guo.

Zhao State acquired nearly 30.00% of Qi State's land at one time, and at the same time cut off the border between Qi State and Yan State from the land. From then on, Yan State has only Zhao State as its neighbor.

The State of Zhao has historically gained access to the sea, changing from an inland country to a country bordering the sea.
