Chapter Seventy-One: The Storm of Handan (I)
In the thirteenth year of King Wucheng, at the beginning of April.
Just when Ji Kang led the Liaodi army to conquer the Ji Kingdom, the original Qin Xianglou slowly came to Handan, the capital of the Zhao State.
According to the agreement reached between Qin and Zhao in Xianyang, Lou Xuan wanted to negotiate with Ji Kang's uncle Zhao Wangdan about Zhao State ceding the six cities to Qin State.
Zhao Wangdan met with the Qin envoy Lou Yan in the palace hall, and after reading the letter of state given to him by Qin Wang Yingji, he put it down.
Lou said slowly, who had also served as a secretary in Zhao State: "Lord Lou, the king of Qin gave the widow a letter of the country, and the widow knows its meaning. The widow will send the eldest husband Zhao Hao to discuss with Lord Lou the agreement signed by Zhao and Qin in Xianyang. ”
"Lord Lou, you have been away from Zhao for a long time, and you haven't met with your family for a long time. Now why don't you go back to your home and reunite with your family, and then negotiate the agreement later?" ”
After Lou slowly listened to King Zhao's words, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that King Zhao was ready to implement the agreement signed by Qin and Zhao in Xianyang.
Thinking that his trip would be completed well and successfully, Qin Wang Yingji and Qin Xiang Fan Sui accepted the six cities of Zhao State.
To tell the truth, although Lou Huan accepted the commission of King Qin and Qin Xiang Fan Sui, he came to Zhao State to accept six cities. But Lou Xuan didn't know whether Zhao Guo could implement the agreement.
In this era, the Central Plains countries tore up the agreement and abounded. The state of Qin is like this, and the state of Zhao is not inferior to the state of Qin.
In the thirtieth year of King Huiwen of Zhao (269 BC), the Qin State attacked Zhao and conquered Lin Land, Lishi and Qi Land.
King Zhao Huiwen sent his son Yu into Qin as a hostage, and asked Jiao, Li, Niuhu and other places to be offered to Qin in exchange for Lin land, Lishi, and Qi land.
King Yingji of Qin agreed to King Huiwen's request, and returned the land of Lin, Lishi, and Qi to the state of Zhao. Unexpectedly, in the end, Zhao refused to fulfill the contract, unwilling to hand over Jiao, Li, Niuhu and other cities to Qin.
King Yingji of Qin was furious and sent Gongzi Xuan to Handan to ask for land from King Zhao Huiwen.
So, King Zhao Huiwen sent Zheng Zhu to negotiate with Gongzi Xuan.
After talking for a long time, Zheng Zhu and Gongzi Jian didn't come up with a result, anyway, in the end, Zhao Guo broke the contract!
Ji Kang's maternal grandfather, King Zhao Huiwen, even brazenly said to the Qin envoy: "That Lin land, Lishi, and Qi land are far away from Zhao State, and they are close to Qin State because of the wisdom of the first king and the power of the ancestors, so that Zhao State can have it." “
"Now that the widow is not as good as the previous king, I am afraid that even the country cannot take care of it, how can it take care of the recovery of Lin Land, Lishi, and Qi Land? This is the work of the courtiers who do not obey the command, and the widow does not know it. ”
Qin Wang Yingji was still very young at the time, so angry!
After hearing the news, he was furious and ordered the general Hu Yang to crusade against Zhao and attack Yanhe.
After discussion, King Zhao Huiwen decided to send Zhao Hao to lead troops to rescue. Wei also sent Gongzi to lead elite troops to be stationed in Anyi to contain the Qin army.
In the end, the Qin army was defeated at Yanhe.
Qin Wang Yingji was so tricked by Zhao Guo that his heart was so angry that he ordered the Qin army to attack several places. Lian Po led his troops to the rescue and defeated the Qin army again in several places.
But at this moment, Lou saw that Zhao Wangdan was ready to fulfill the agreement, and the stone in his heart was finally put down.
He bowed down to King Zhao and said, "Thank you, the king, Weichen has indeed not met my son Louchang for a long time." Weichen obeyed the king's order, and later discussed the agreement between Qin and Zhao Hao with Lord Zhao Hao. After it is agreed, it will be played again. ”
Zhao Wangdan nodded, and explained to Zhao Hao, the eldest husband of His Royal Highness: "Lord Zhao, you can follow the order of the widow, and later, discuss with Lord Lou about my Zhao Qin agreement!" Look at the cession of those six cities to the Qin State. ”
The eldest husband Zhao Hao understands in his heart, isn't it just? I'm the best at this.
stood up and said to King Zhao: "The ministers obey the edict." ”
Handan, Shangqing Lin is like a house.
Lin Xiangru, who was lying on the sickbed, said to Yu Qing, who came to visit him: "Lord Yu Qing, today the Qin State sent Lou to come to my Zhao State and ask for the six cities of my Zhao State. The heart of the Qin State to destroy my Zhao State is not dead, and the Qin State must not be given these six cities! ”
Yu Qing looked at Lin Xiangru like this, still thinking about state affairs, sighed and said, "Old friend, you!" Heal your body first, and don't worry too much about state affairs. Don't worry, I'll do my best in this matter. ”
"When Mr. Su Dai went to Liaodi, he talked to the old man about it. Talking about peace with the Qin State is a strategy to delay the army. When the Qin soldiers are withdrawn, our Zhao State can accumulate national strength and regroup. ”
Speaking of this, Yu Qing smiled and said to Lin Xiangru: "Now that the Qin army has withdrawn to the country, Lord Sudai's plan to delay the army has been accomplished. ”
"Besides, the current king is unwilling to hand over several cities of Yan to Yan in exchange for the friendship of Yan State. According to my king's heart, how could he be willing to cede the six cities of Qin? ”
Lin Xiangru saw that Yu Qing agreed to his request, so he calmed down and said to Yu Qing: "In this way, please ask your old friend!" ”
Yu Qing came out of Lin Xiangru's mansion and said to the coachman, "Go to the palace." ”
After arriving at the palace, Yu Qing asked people to report to Zhao Wangdan, saying that there was something to enlighten Zhao Wang.
Sure enough, as Yu Qing expected, Zhao Wangdan was very uncomfortable at the moment about ceding the six cities to the Qin State! I didn't want to give it, but now that Zhao State's national strength is empty, I don't dare to offend Qin State.
Hearing the report from the waiter that Yu Qing asked to see him, King Zhao couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Hurriedly said to the attendant: "Hurry up and invite Yu Qing in." ”
Zhao Wangdan has such an expression because before the Battle of Changping, Zhao Wangdan did not listen to Yu Qing's words several times, which led to the defeat of Zhao State.
Since then, Yu Qing has rarely gone to court and is reluctant to come to see him. King Zhao also knew that he was ridiculously wrong in the Battle of Changping. felt guilty about Yu Qing, and saw that Yu Qing was unwilling to go to court, so he didn't criticize him too much.
After Yu Qing entered the palace, he bowed to King Zhao and said, "See my king." ”
"Yu Qing, please get up quickly, no need to be polite! I came to the palace this time to meet the widow, but do you have something to tell the widow? ”
Zhao Wangdan said to Yu Qing with a smile.
Yu Qing said to Zhao Wang Dan: "My lord, I heard that the king of Qin sent an envoy to my Zhao country to urge my king to fulfill his promise and sacrifice the city, but is there such a thing?" ”
King Zhao's face suddenly became gloomy, and he said to Yu Qing: "Yu Qing, there is indeed such a thing. ”
Yu Qing looked at Zhao Wangdan's expression, knew King Zhao's thoughts, and said to King Zhao: "King, I don't know what my king's intentions are for my Zhao country's dedication of the city?" ”
King Zhao sighed and said to Yu Qing: "Yu Qing, it's really not a secret, the widow doesn't want to give the six cities of Qin State. But now that the Qin State is powerful, my Zhao State is empty. If the six cities of Qin are not given, I am afraid that the war will start again. ”
Yu Qing clenched his fists, bowed to King Zhao and said: "King, please forgive the minister for being rude, the minister wants to ask the king a question, I don't know if it's okay?" ”
King Zhao looked at Yu Qing and said, "Yu Qing, you are the one who was personally promoted by the widow. If something is blunt, the widow should say it. ”
Yu Qing nodded and said to King Zhao: "Qi my king, my king thinks that the king of Qin withdrew his troops and ceased the war because the Qin soldiers were tired and the national strength was weak?" Or is it because the king of Qin has compassion for the king and for my Zhao country? ”
Zhao Wangdan did not hesitate and said to Yu Qing: "Yu Qing, King Qin will kill me and spare no effort." How could it be that he had compassion for the widow and my Zhao country! ”
Speaking of this, King Zhao came to his senses, looked at Yu Qing and said, "Yu Qing, are you saying that the Qin soldiers are also very tired now, and the national strength is the same as that of my Zhao State, and it is also very empty, so I have no choice but to withdraw the army?" ”
Yu Qing smiled and said to King Zhao: "King, in the Battle of Changping, although our Zhao army was wiped out, the Qin State also suffered hundreds of thousands of casualties, and it was also greatly injured!" ”
"Your Majesty, the King of Qin poured all his resources into gathering the strength of the whole country to capture my Zhao land. Now the Qin army has finally been exhausted, and it has returned to Qin after exhaustion. But my king wants to give the Qin army, which can no longer be captured, to the king of Qin, isn't this helping Qin to attack himself? ”
"If next year, the Qin State comes back to attack my Zhao State, how can my Zhao State save itself? Therefore, the minister asked the king not to ignore the building and let Lord Zhao Hao negotiate with him slowly. ”
"And at this time, my Zhao State should re-accumulate national strength and reorganize the military according to the plan of Lord Su Dai, so as to wait for the Qin State. This is the foolish opinion of the ministers, and I hope that my king will adopt it. ”
After listening to Yu Qing's words, King Zhao was speechless for a long time and pondered for a long time.
finally said to Yu Qing: "Yu Qing's words are unknown to everyone!" Wait for the widow to think about it before making a decision. ”
When Yu Qing saw Zhao Wangdan, his heart was already shaken about the cession of the six cities of Qin, so he didn't say anything more.
He bowed to King Zhao with his fists and said, "Your Majesty, please think carefully about what the minister said, and don't cede the city to Qin!" In this way, my Zhao Kingdom will have endless troubles. ”
King Zhao nodded, looked at Yu Qing and said, "Yu Qing, the widow will think about what you said this time, you should retire first!" ”
Yu Qing bowed and said, "No." ”
After Yu Qing left, Zhao Wangdan sat at the table, and after half a ring, he said in a low voice: "Don't you cede the six cities to the Qin State?" ”.
