Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

The next step is to think of a way to see if the ceded land can be reduced. "

Facing Mr. Chunshen's words, no one at the scene objected. Those who could object were like Jingyang, who never appeared here at all.

Chunshen Jun took a deep breath and said, "However, after this idea is settled, the king will definitely not be satisfied if he knows it in the future.

So the old man has a request, that is, everyone should sign, so that if the king inquires about the crime in the future, everyone will bear all the responsibilities together, and the king will not blame anyone. I wonder what you think? "

Although Jun Shen wanted to seek peace, he had to consider the future accountability of the King of Chu, so he was very resourceful and wanted to attract everyone to give him momentum.

After Chun Shenjun's words fell, everyone immediately looked at each other in blank dismay, many of them murmured in their hearts, thinking that this matter was fundamentally Chun Shenjun's idea, why should we be involved?

But at this moment, Zhao Zhong suddenly said: "This old man thinks what Mr. Chun Shen said is very reasonable. This matter cannot be left to one person to bear the responsibility alone. This old man is willing to sign."

As soon as Zhao Zhong opened his mouth, everyone was taken aback.

The three major families have always been at odds with Chun Shenjun, and this has long been public news. Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhong would publicly speak out in support of Chun Shenjun at this time, which is really surprising.

Qu Feng, another patriarch of the three major families present, was also taken aback for a moment, and looked at Zhao Zhong, but got a very subtle hint from Zhao Zhong.

Although he didn't know what Zhao Zhong's eyes hinted at, but after a short hesitation, Qu Feng still spoke: "I also think Chun Shenjun's words are very reasonable, I can sign."

Now that the King of Chu is not here, Lord Chunshen and the three major families are the most powerful forces in the Chu Kingdom, so since Lord Chunshen and the two heads of the three major families have already spoken, the other small and medium-sized families of the Chu Kingdom present Naturally, it was impossible to have any opinions, and they all expressed their willingness to sign.

Chunshen Jun heaved a sigh of relief after seeing this scene, he didn't talk nonsense, and directly took out the paper he had prepared long ago, and asked everyone to sign on it.

After the signatures were signed, everyone dispersed, leaving only Chunshen Jun, Zhao Zhong, and Qu Feng.

Chun Shenjun said very sincerely: "Thank you Zhaoqing and Qu Qing for supporting me today."

Zhaozhong laughed when he heard the words, and said: "Your Majesty, you are serious. Now that the country is in crisis, it is time for us to unite. Don't bring up the little misunderstandings before."

Chunshenjun Zheng nodded, and said: "Zhaoqing's patriotic heart is so strong that this old man really admires me.

But if Da Sima couldn't convince him, he might have some troubles.

How about asking Zhaoqing and Quqing to have a good communication with Da Sima, so as not to cause some bad changes in this negotiation? "

Zhao Zhong narrowed his eyes and said, "In this case, what should the envoy Li Si do?"

Chunshen Jundao: "If we want the negotiation to be successful, we must have a unified opinion internally. As for that Li Si, it doesn't hurt to let him wait for a day or two."

Zhao Zhong said: "Also.

The old man left first. "

After finishing speaking, Zhao Zhong left the handsome tent with Qu Feng.

After leaving the commander-in-chief, Qu Feng couldn't help but said: "Why did Zhaoqing agree to Chun Shenjun's signature just now?

This signature is obviously Chun Shenjun's decision to shirk responsibility in front of the king in the future. "

Zhao Zhong smiled slightly, stroked his beard and said slowly: "Of course the old man knows that this is a decision made by Mr. Chunshen to shirk responsibility, but the question is, can this responsibility be shirked by Mr. Chunshen if he wants to shirk it?" ?

He is the Ling Yin of our great Chu, and after the king is captured, he is the one who can make the final decision.

As long as the king can regain his freedom in the future, someone must bear the responsibility for this defeat.

It is impossible for the king himself to bear this responsibility, so this responsibility can only be borne by Chun Shenjun, the Ling Yin and the master in the future!He thought he could keep him with his signature?

Hehehe, how naive! "

After listening to Zhaozhong's analysis, Qu Feng was also stunned.

After several seconds, Qu Feng couldn't help clapping his hands and exclaiming: "So that's the case, Zhaoqing really has a good opinion."

Zhaozhong's move seemed to be for the benefit of the Chu state, but in fact, he quietly blamed Chunshen Jun.

Zhao Zhong smiled and said calmly: "As for Zhao Guoren's conditions, if you agree, you can just agree. This is something that can't be helped. Who made that Zhao Kuo so vicious?

After we find a way to rescue the king and others, we will liquidate Mr. Chunshen, and then it will be time for our three major families to control the Great Chu and restore the prosperity of the Great Chu. "

Qu Feng nodded heavily: "What Zhaoqing said is very true, but I don't know if Da Sima will agree."

Speaking of Jingyang, Zhao Zhong also had a headache, and snorted: "This person, wanting to fight against Zhao Kuo, has gone crazy.

This time you and I join forces, we must make him obedient.

If he is disobedient, then we will unite with Mr. Chunshen to kick him out first, and then deal with Mr. Chunshen! "

Although the three major families united to form an alliance because they wanted to fight against Lord Chun Shen, but before that, the three major families were not in harmony.

The Zhao family and the Jing family once fought for the position of Ling Yin for several generations. For more than 300 years, only the Qu family has been vacillating between the Zhao family and the Jing family because of its weak power.

Zhaozhong also had to listen to Jingyang's opinion because of the heavy losses of the Zhao family before, but now Zhaozhong has found an opportunity to regain control of the initiative, and he doesn't mind kicking Jingyang and Chun Shenjun out together!Qu Feng hesitated for a while, nodded and said: "That's the only way to go."

After finishing speaking, the two walked towards Jingyang's tent.

That night, there was a fierce quarrel in Jingyang's camp, even accompanied by the sound of something being smashed.

Early the next morning, Lord Chunshen sat on the commander's seat, glanced around, and stopped on Jingyang for a while.

Although he had an unhappy expression on his face, Jingyang reappeared.

This also made Chunshen Jun heave a sigh of relief. If Jingyang didn't come, it would be difficult to explain to the King of Chu in the future.

Chunshen Jun said: "Please come in with Zhao's envoy."

After a while, Li Si walked in.

Although he was in the enemy's camp, Li Si seemed to be in good spirits. Obviously, he slept soundly last night.

After saluting to Lord Chunshen, Li Si also cut straight to the point and said, "Have you made up your mind to accept my lord's conditions?"

Facing Li Si's straightforward inquiry, Chun Shenjun was speechless for a while.

Although he really wanted to refuse, Chun Shenjun still spoke after taking a deep breath.

"After discussions with the old man and others, it is indeed acceptable to accept the conditions offered by Wu Xinjun.

But the old man and others also have a condition, that is, before ceding the territory, Wu Xinjun must lead all the soldiers and horses to withdraw from Shouchun City.

In addition, Zhao's army must withdraw to the north of the dividing line of Funiu Mountain on the Huai River within ten days. "

Because of the support of Zhao Zhong and Qu Feng, Chun Shenjun finally fully agreed to Zhao Kuo's conditions.

This is also something that can't be helped. After all, although the current Chu army still has more than one hundred thousand people, it has already opened up to Zhao Jun in terms of morale and combat effectiveness.

What's more, after Shouchun City was breached, all the high-level households of the Chu army have been controlled by Zhao Kuo. Under such circumstances, how can anyone want to fight?

Still the same sentence, what is sold is only the interests of the country, what does it have to do with these ministers of Chu State?

After hearing Chun Shenjun's answer, Li Si laughed happily: "There is nothing wrong with what Junhou said, and I can agree now.

If there are no other objections, then three days later, let's make a covenant outside Shouchun City! "

When he said this, Li Si was in a very good mood, because he knew that his mission of peace talks this time was a complete success!

Chapter 1064

Li Si was very satisfied, and in front of Li Si, Chun Shenjun and others were actually also very satisfied.

For them, being able to successfully negotiate a peace in such a situation is enough.

Anyway, although the places close to the Central Plains are densely populated, most of them belong to the royal family's territory.

Of course, Lord Chunshen and the three major families also have some territories on the northern border, but those are not their core territories.

Take Chunshen Jun for example. A few years ago, in order to avoid Zhao Guo's sharp edge, he had already told the King of Chu to move his territory from Langya to Kuaiji County, south of the Yangtze River.

In short, everyone has successfully survived the catastrophe, which is very good.

As for the rest, worry about it later.

The news of the success of the peace talks this time quickly spread to Zhao Kuo who was sitting in Shouchun.

When he heard the news, Zhao Kuo was looking at a list in his hand.

What list?

A list from the state treasury of Chu State in Shouchun City.

I have to say that the state treasury of Chu really did not disappoint Zhao Kuo.

Although the state of Chu has been beaten up by other countries in various ways in recent years, it is still a country with a large land and abundant resources. In any case, it means that a lean camel is bigger than a horse.

In the state treasury of Chu State, money is not the most important thing. After all, Chu State’s financial revenue has been declining year by year, so where is the money?

Most of the treasures in the national treasury are all kinds of jade, gold, etc., many of which are antiques that have been passed down for hundreds of years, and some of them are even worth less than Heshibi.

If these antiques are sold, each of them is priceless, but at the same time, there is no market. After all, in this war era, anyone who has money has to think about wars. Where would he think about antiques?

But for Zhao Kuo, these antiques can just be taken back as trophies, and they will be placed in Zhao Kuo's palace in the future. On the one hand, future generations can witness Zhao Kuo's illustrious martial arts, and on the other hand, they are also witnesses of Zhao Kuo's sweeping all over the world.

All kinds of antiques and treasures, this is the best thing that can really improve the foundation.

As for money?

Sorry, Zhao Kuo already has too much money to spend.

To Zhao Kuo, money is really just a number.

It is worth mentioning that in this wave of Shouchun City, Zhao Kuo actually obtained a huge amount of money, which was mainly seized from the mansions of Jingyang, Zhaozhong and others.

The Jing family that Jingyang belongs to is one of the three major families. It has stood in the state of Chu for hundreds of years and has already owned countless wealth. Although there is already a lot of wealth in Shouchun City, it may not be the Jing family All the wealth.

Out of some considerations, Zhao Kuo deliberately let Chun Shenjun and the treasure houses of Chun Shenjun's confidants including Li Yuan, but he searched all the house treasures of the three major families. Three feet level.

Zhao Kuo smiled and said to Sima Shang who had just returned with Li Si: "You can make arrangements and have someone pack the truck. We will sign a peace agreement with the people of Chu in two days. After the signing is completed, we will immediately send all of these things to you." Move everything back to Handan!"

Zhao Kuo didn't show mercy this time, he didn't give a single copper coin to the Chu people, and took them all away!Sima Shang was also beaming and responded loudly.

Everyone knows that Zhao Kuo has always been very generous to meritorious soldiers. This time he got such a lot of good things in Shouchun City, and he will have some points when he goes back to Handan.

Sima Shang thought for a while, and then said: "My lord, what if the people of Chu treacherously launch an attack?"

As the saying goes, soldiers never tire of cheating, Sima Shang, as a general, is also very qualified to take this unexpected situation into consideration.

Zhao Kuo laughed: "If the people of Chu really wanted to fight, wouldn't it be possible that the [-] cavalry under my command would not be able to be displayed?

The order continues, before leaving the new border, everyone must remain vigilant and be ready to fight at any time! "

The cavalry and chariot soldiers of the Chu army had been wiped out by Sima Shang, leaving only the main force of more than [-] Chu infantry.

The main force of these infantry may be able to suppress Zhao Kuo in the event of a sudden attack, but Zhao Kuo has an all-cavalry combination under his command.

So, Zhao Kuo is not panicking at all.

The next day, Zhao Kuo left Shouchun City with a large group of people, and went to the agreed covenant place outside the city.

As the most important hostage in Zhao Kuo's hands, King Chu was also taken away from Shouchun City as a matter of course.

This made the unsuspecting king of Chu flustered, yelling all kinds of things, and even started pretending to be crazy.

This situation also made Zhao Jun, who guarded the king of Chu, very helpless, and finally reported it to Zhao Kuo.

After Zhao Kuo heard the news, he couldn't help but laugh: "This king of Chu is nothing more than that, let's go see him now."

Soon, Zhao Kuo came to the tent where the king of Chu lived.

The tent was already in a mess at the moment, and it even smelled like feces. It seemed that King Chu really put in a lot of effort in pretending to be crazy.

The king of Chu sat on the ground with disheveled hair, giggling from time to time. He looked up at Zhao Kuo after hearing Zhao Kuo's footsteps, and then continued to lower his head and giggle.

Zhao Kuo: "" It can be seen that the King of Chu is really into the drama.

Zhao Kuo said lightly: "You don't need to pretend, you are not Goujian, and I am not Fucha."

The king of Chu continued to giggle, and even reached out to grab the dirt on the ground and stuff it into his mouth.

Zhao Kuo shook his head and said, "I have successfully negotiated peace with Lord Chunshen. You and Shouchun City will be returned to Lord Chunshen soon."

King Chu's movements suddenly stopped.

After a while, the King of Chu suddenly said, "Is this true?"

Zhao Kuo laughed: "When did I not take what I said seriously?"

The King of Chu put down the soil in his hand, looked up at Zhao Kuo, "Are you willing to let the widow and the state of Chu go?"

Zhao Kuo said with a smile: "Of course this requires some price."

King Chu said: "What price?"

Zhao Kuo continued to laugh and said: "For this price, I can only trouble the king himself to ask your good officials.

All in all, I think that the king can be released, and he should give a good thanks to Mr. Chunshen.
