Lou slowly returned to his old residence in Handan, and he also had mixed feelings and emotions.

Lou Chang, who is now the eldest husband of Zhao, welcomed his father Lou into the house. Let his wives and children come out to see their fathers. The building is very lively, so there is no need to go into detail.

Subsequently, Lou Chuan and Lou Chang came to the study and retired everyone.

Lou Chang looked at his elderly father Lou slowly and said, "Father, you are old now, why do you want to come to Zhao Guo to drip this troubled water and provoke such infamy!" ”

After all, Lou Xuan is a native of Zhao State, but now he is accepting the city of Zhao State on behalf of Qin State, so naturally his reputation among the people of Zhao State is not so good. As the eldest husband of Zhao Guo, Lou Chang was deeply touched by this, so he made this statement.

Lou Xuan looked at his son, full of emotion, and said to Lou Chang, "My son, before my father came to Zhao State, I expected that Zhao State would be infamous in Zhao State. Do you know why your father still agreed to the request of King Qin and Fan Sui? Willing to come to Zhao to accept these six cities. ”

Lou Chang shook his head and said to his father Lou slowly, "My son is stupid, I really don't know. ”

Lou slowly nodded, and then said to Lou Chang, "My son, my father is close to his prime, and this time I came to Zhao State to provoke this infamy, where did I come from?" ”

Without waiting for Lou Chang to answer, Lou Xuan continued, "Being a father is not thinking about yourself, but thinking about you and my Lou family in the future!" After the Battle of Changping, the Qin State was in full swing. According to this trend, sooner or later the world will be unified. ”

"At that time, whether it is the Zhao State or other Central Plains countries, they will all be Qin soil. At that time, you and I, father and son, will also be Qin Chen. If you and I, father and son, don't hurry up at this time, join the Qin State and make meritorious contributions. If you wait for the world to be unified, it will be too late to regret! ”

After listening to his father Lou Zhuan's words, Lou Chang admired the five-body throw.

He bowed deeply to his father, and said, "My father is far-sighted, but my son is not as good as my son." His son is good friends with Zhao Hao, a singing doctor, and his heart is known to his son, and he is also interested in Qin. This time, the son will persuade him to help his father complete the mission entrusted to his father by King Qin. ”

Lou listened slowly, nodded, and said to Lou Chang, "Good." ”

After resting in Lou's mansion for a few days, Lou Chu and the plenipotentiary negotiator entrusted by King Zhao, the eldest husband Zhao Hao, the two began to talk, to see which six cities accepted by Zhao State? How to accept?

Zhao Hao and Lou Chang have a good relationship, and in Zhao Guo, Lou Chang, Zheng Zhu and several others are recognized as "pro-Qin faction".

Under Lou Chang's mediation, Zhao Hao was ready to persuade Zhao Wangdan to accept the agreement signed by Zhao and Qin. Cut the six cities to the Qin State as soon as possible to befriend the Qin State.

By the end of April, Zhao Hao, the eldest husband of Zhao, had negotiated the terms of the agreement with Lou Xuan, the plenipotentiary ambassador sent by Qin.

May 1, Handan, the capital of Zhao State, the Dragon Palace Palace, the day of the Zhao Dynasty.

The eldest husband, Zhao Hao, said to Zhao Wang Dan, "Great King, the minister has been entrusted by my king, and has now reached an agreement with the Qin envoy Lou Xuan. According to the agreement signed between our Zhao and Qin countries in Xianyang, our Zhao State should cede the six cities of Wu'an, Pijiao, and Taiyuan County this time and give them to the Qin State, so as to prevent the war between our two countries from breaking out again. ”

Zhao Hao's words have come out, and the entire Zhao State court suddenly became noisy.

The two cities of Wu'an and Pigao are the gateways to the west of Handan, the capital of Zhao, and the four cities such as Taiyuan County are also the gateways of Jinyang, the former capital of Zhao.

If this agreement is really implemented, these six cities will be ceded to the Qin State. It can be said that the two capitals of Handan and Jinyang of Zhao State have been exposed under the soldiers of Qin State, and the day is not safe!

Ji Kang's uncle Zhao Wangdan, after listening to Zhao Hao's words, was so angry that he trembled all over.

looked at the eldest husband Zhao Hao, gritted his teeth and said, "Lord Zhao, this is the result of what you negotiated for the widow?" ”

Zhao Hao looked at King Zhao's expression, and then looked at the court, and the ministers of Zhao looked at him, and knew that something was wrong. If you don't deal with it well this time, you may be pulled out by King Zhao and beheaded.

Hurriedly in the main hall, knelt down and kowtowed to King Zhao and said, "Your Majesty, it's not like this." This is the Qin envoy Lou according to the explanation of the King of Qin, I have to ask Zhao Guo to do so! ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen is also loyal to the country. Now that my Zhao State is empty, if I don't agree to the request of the King of Qin, Weichen is afraid that the Qin State will send troops to attack my Zhao State! Please Wang Mingjian. ”

King Zhao pondered for a moment, knowing that Zhao Hao could not be completely blamed for this matter, so he said to Zhao Hao, "Lord Zhao, you get up and talk back." ”

"Thank you, King!" Zhao Hao stood up and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead.

Zhao Wangdan looked at Zhao Hao and said, "Lord Zhao Hao, according to what you just said, Qin Envoy Lou slowly refused to give in, did he have to wait for the six cities such as Wu'an and Pigao." ”

Zhao Hao nodded and said to King Zhao, "King, it's true." ”

Then, Zhao Hao secretly glanced at King Zhao with his eyes, and found that King Zhao had calmed down and was not as angry as he was just now.

He continued to say to King Zhao, "King, these six cities are very important to my Zhao Kingdom. But it's just a small land, located on the edge of my Zhao country. Weichen thought that it was better to give it to the Qin State, in exchange for the Qin State not to come to attack my Zhao State. ”

"If you don't agree to the request of the King of Qin, the State of Qin will send troops to invade my Zhao State. At that time, there will be more than these six cities. Do I, the Zhao State, want to cede the hinterland and give the Qin State another peace? ”

At this time, Shangqing Yu Qing stood up and said to Zhao Hao, "Lord Zhao, if I, Zhao Guo, dedicate these six cities." Can you use the lives of your whole family to ensure that the Qin State will not attack my Zhao State again next year? ”

Zhao Hao was stunned for a moment, and said to Yu Qing, "Lord Yu Qing, this Weichen doesn't dare to guarantee it." ”

Yu Qing was furious and said to Zhao Hao, "Lord Zhao Hao, you don't even dare to guarantee this. How dare you cede Wu'an and other six cities to the Qin State? Don't you know that these six cities are the gateways of my Zhao Kingdom, Handan and Jinyang? ”

Zhao Hao didn't answer Yu Qing's words, turned to King Zhao and said, "Great King, in the past, Zhao, Han, and Wei were close to Qin, but today Qin is close to Han and Wei, and I am attacking Zhao alone, why not?" ”

Without waiting for King Zhao to answer, Zhao Hao continued, "King, this is my Zhao Shi Qin's heart, not as good as Han and Wei!" The minister now signed an agreement with the Qin envoy Lou to cede the six cities. It is for my Zhao State to relieve the war caused by the abandonment of the Qin State! ”

"Your Majesty, after this agreement is signed, I, the Zhao State, will cede the Six Cities to the Qin State. After that, my Zhao State can open checkpoints with Qin State and exchange trade, and the degree of friendship with Qin State is the same as that of Han and Wei. ”

"If it comes next year, the king alone will be attacked by the Qin State. This must be the king's intention to serve the Qin State, and it falls behind Han and Wei again. Therefore, non-ministers can take on the responsibility! ”

If Ji Kang heard Zhao Hao's words, he would definitely laugh.

In Ji Kang's previous life, Huaxia was facing the suppression and bullying of the world's first power. At that time, there were many "public knowledge" arguments in China, which were exactly the same as Zhao Hao's arguments at this moment, and they were on par with them.

As everyone knows, when a country is top-down, it regards your country as an enemy. Any idea of your evasion or compromise is! It's like the Qin State to the Zhao State in this era.

Did the Qin Congress let Zhao go? Of course not.

After listening to Zhao Hao's words, Yu Qing said to Zhao Wang Dan, "Your Majesty, Lord Zhao just said, "If you don't offer land, then when Qin comes to attack next year, how much more will these six cities?" The hinterland of my Zhao State will also be seized by the Qin State. But Lord Zhao just said, "Even if my king dedicates land, there is no guarantee that the Qin State will not come to attack my Zhao State next year." ”

"Great King, then now, even if my Zhao Kingdom cedes Wu'an and other six cities, what good will it be? Next year, the Qin State will attack our Zhao State again, will our Zhao State cede its troops and the land that it cannot seize to sue for peace? ”

"Your Majesty, this is a self-defeating approach, so I Zhao Guo is asking for peace, it is better not to seek peace. Even if the Qin State was good at attacking, it could not easily capture six counties; Even if Zhao couldn't defend it, it wouldn't lose these six cities in the end. ”

Speaking of this, Yu Qing then admonished King Zhao, "Your Majesty, if the Qin State withdraws its troops when it is tired, the army will inevitably be weak. If my Zhao State uses these six cities to gather the princes of the world and attack the weak Qin army, I will definitely defeat the Qin army. ”

"In this way, my Zhao State will lose six cities from the princes of the world, and I will be compensated from the Qin State. Besides, in this way, I, Zhao Guo, can also profit from it. What is better than ceding land for nothing, making oneself weak and making the Qin state strong? ”

Now Lord Zhao said, "The reason why Qin is friendly with Han and Wei, and the reason for attacking Zhao alone must be the king's intention to serve Qin, which is not as good as Han and Wei". In this way, don't you want my king to give away the cities of my Zhao Kingdom in vain? ”

Speaking of this, Yu Qing looked at King Zhao and the courtiers, and found that everyone nodded frequently.

Then he said to King Zhao, "Your Majesty, next year the Qin State will ask for the land to be ceded again, does the king plan to give it to it?" If you don't give it, this is to abandon the fruits of the original land cut, and provoke the Qin State to attack; Give it, and there will be no land to give. ”

As the saying goes, "the strong are good at attacking, but the weak can't defend." Now that they are at the mercy of the Qin State, the Qin army can get more land without much effort, which is tantamount to strengthening Qin and weakening Zhao! ”

"Your Majesty, let the more and more powerful Qin State cut off the weaker and weaker Zhao State, and the Qin State plans to acquire the land of Zhao State every year, so it will not stop!"

"Great King, besides, the land of Zhao is limited, and the greed of Qin is unlimited. Take the limited land of my Zhao State to deal with the demands of the infinitely greedy Qin State, and there will inevitably be no more Zhao State in the future. Your Majesty, this is the heartfelt words of Weichen, please enlighten the king. ”

After saying that, Yu Qing bowed deeply to King Zhao and stood back.

Above the court, all the ministers of Zhao State were discussing.

Seeing this, King Zhao said to Zhao Hao, "Lord Zhao Hao, this time the matter of ceding the six cities to Qin will be discussed later." ”

After that, without waiting for Zhao Hao to say anything, he waved his sleeves and shouted, "Retreat." ”

Ignore the ministers above the court, who are still talking. Zhao Wangdan turned around and walked straight to the harem.
