In the days that followed, everything seemed to be somewhat in order.

After negotiating peace with Zhao State, the Qin army and the Han army all withdrew from Hedong County and Shangdang County.

Correspondingly, the generals of Zhao also withdrew their troops one after another, Li Mu led his cavalry to make a detour to the north, and Le Cheng and Ju Xin also disbanded the county soldiers respectively and led the remaining central army to return to Handan.

There has been no war within the borders of Zhao since then.

In this way, only Zhao Chu against Wei and Qi against Yan were fighting in the entire continent.

Due to the success of the peace talks with Zhao, the Qi army had already gone north to guard the border, and the Yan army did not continue to move south knowing that it was invincible.

After months of confrontation, the state of Zhao intervened when winter came, and the two countries formally declared an armistice with the current Line of Actual Control, the border of 260 BCE.

Although the war between Qi and Yan has not ended at this moment, it has not attracted much attention, and the eyes of the entire continent are actually focused on Zhao Chu's attack on Wei.

After Pang Xuan led the main army of Zhao State, which had increased to 200,000 troops, to conquer Taoyi, he continued to march south to Suiyang, the temporary capital of Wei, which shocked the whole Wei State.

At the same time, Ju Xin, who was once again promoted to lieutenant general of the Northern Army, led a detachment of 30,000 men to cross the Yellow River from Handan, and marched westward along the Zhaoguo River, attacking the land north of Jishui in the Wei State, including the ruins of Daliang City.

Perhaps because of the inevitability of Wei Wangyu, the morale of the Wei army and the people was dealt a heavy blow, and more than a dozen Wei cities and towns along the road were almost in despair, and only one Xiuyu City was still resisting stubbornly, but there were only more than 1,000 defenders and more than 10,000 residents in Xiuyu City, and it should be a matter of time before the Zhao army conquered this city.

As for Weiguo, a vassal state of Wei that was still north of the Yellow River, surrendered to Zhao after learning that the army of Zhao was coming, and Weijun Ji Zinan personally went to Handan to pay homage to Zhao Dan as a monarch and minister, and was rewarded by Zhao Dan and retained the title of Weijun, but the name of Weiguo was revoked and no longer existed as a vassal state.

As a result, this vassal state surnamed Ji, which has been divided since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty and was named the founding monarch by Kang Shu, the younger brother of King Wu of Zhou, and has gone through a full forty-two monarchs, has come to an end completely.

In the south, the Chu people had conquered Suzhou, and the relationship between Shouchun, which was originally regarded as the first choice for moving the capital by the Wei Wangyu, and the Wei mainland was basically cut off.

Although the people of Chu did not continue to go north, but turned south to recover Shouchun and Jiujiang County, Wei still had a feeling of being out of breath under the pressure of Zhao's powerful troops.

It was under such circumstances that Duan Ganzi, the prime minister of Wei, who was ordered to go to Handan to sue for peace, returned to Suiyang City, the temporary capital of Wei.

Looking at the place in front of him, which was originally the Suiyang City Guard's mansion, but now it has become the temporary palace of Wei Wangyu, Duan Ganzi, who had just stepped out of the carriage, twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a strange smile.

First Taoyi, then Suiyang, where next?

In the past few years, the Wei State has really been plagued by many disasters.

And the source of all disasters is actually not the most noble king of Wei in this mansion?

"Xia Ji has no way, and Shang Tang is cut down. Shang Tang has no way, and Zhou Wu is defeated. Those who have attained the Tao have much help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help. Duan Ganzi silently muttered a few words in his heart, and then walked towards the guards in front of him.

"Hurry up and tell the king, and say that Duan Ganzi has returned from asking for peace, and he has something important to tell the king!"

After a while, the guards appeared in front of Duan Ganzi, glanced at Duan Ganzi with a strange face, and said, "Duan Qing, the king ordered you to go in." ”

Duan Ganzi nodded, and led the way to the lobby of the mansion under the guidance of the guards, and met Wei Wangyu there.

"Chen Duan Ganzi has seen the king!" Duan Ganzi respectfully saluted to Wei Wangyu, who had not been seen for a while.

As soon as Duan Ganzi finished speaking, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his forehead, and the whole person couldn't help but scream in pain, took two steps back, and raised his head in horror.

"Dang!" A wine lord fell to the ground, rolled a few laps and then stopped.

A stream of blood slowly flowed down Duan Ganzi's forehead.

Wei Wangyu opened his red eyes and said with a hideous face: "Duan Ganzi, you are a dog!" Things are done like this, and they dare to come back to see the widow? ”

Duan Ganzi found that there was a faint smell of wine in the entire hall, and there were still a few small dishes on the table in front of Wei Wangyu.

It was obvious that Wei Wangyu had been drinking, and it seemed that he was not lightly drunk.

But no matter how drunk he is or not, as long as Wei Wangyu says a word, then Duan Ganzi will die.

So Duan Ganzi immediately knelt down, kowtowed, and said loudly while kowtowing: "King Mingjian, the minister has succeeded in seeking peace with Zhao State, and now it is time to come back and return to the king!" ”

"What?" Wei Wangyu's eyes widened, and he subconsciously put down the second wine lord in his hand, and said to Duan Ganzi in disbelief: "You actually succeeded in seeking peace?" Seeing that Duan Ganzi was still kowtowing, he said a little impatiently: "Stand up and speak!" ”

Duan Ganzi stood up, the blood on his forehead flowed into his eyes, and he subconsciously wiped his eyes.

Wei Wangyu frowned, and waved his hand in annoyance: "Let's talk after going down and bandaging!" ”

A moment later, Duan Ganzi, whose forehead had been bandaged, appeared in front of Wei Wangyu again, looking somewhat funny.

But Wei Wangyu didn't care about this, at this moment, his attention was on Duan Ganzi's sentence just now: "You just said that you have successfully made peace with King Zhao?" ”

Duan Ganzi nodded very affirmatively and said, "Back to the king, that's exactly the case." The minister met Pingyuan Jun through the relationship of Pingyuan Jun's wife, and Pingyuan Jun persuaded King Zhao that Zhao was willing to negotiate peace with Wei. ”

"What about the conditions?" Wei Wangyu hurriedly asked, "What kind of conditions are they?" ”

Duan Ganzi said: "King Zhao said, if the king is willing to sue for peace, then according to what the king said before, cede the north of Jishui as a condition." In addition, King Zhao also wanted Taoyi and asked the king to go and make an alliance with King Zhao. King Zhao also said......"

"Tao Yi?!" Wei Wangyu's eyes widened, and he grabbed the wine lord again with his right hand, and threw it directly at Duan Ganzi in front of him: "Rebel minister, dare to sell the capital city of widows!" ”

"Dang!" The wine lord hit Duan Ganzi again, this time on the right cheek, the wine in the wine jue splashed Duan Ganzi's face, and the heavy wine instantly filled Duan Ganzi's nasal cavity, making him a little unable to open his eyes all of a sudden.

Duan Ganzi subconsciously took a few steps back, and hurriedly said in a loud voice: "The king is angry, the minister hasn't finished talking yet!" ”

After speaking, Duan Ganzi hurriedly wiped his eyes with his sleeve, and when he finally opened his eyes, he was startled again.

It turned out that Wei Wangyu didn't know when he actually walked in front of Duan Ganzi, and stared at Duan Ganzi with a hideous expression: "Go on, if you don't say it, the widow will kill your dog!" ”

Duan Ganzi hurriedly said: "King Zhao also said that if the king is unwilling to cede Taoyi, then he must use the two cities of Yuguan and Linzhong in exchange for Taoyi's return to Wei!" ”

As soon as Duan Ganzi's words came out, Wei Wangyu's face finally looked better, and he didn't speak after snorting.

Duan Ganzi was afraid that Wei Wangyu would break out again, so he hurriedly persuaded: "King, that Yuguan and the forest are just small towns, so they will be ceded if they are ceded." If there is no truce with Zhao again, the people of Chu will not be able to control it! ”

Wei Wangyu's face changed again and again, and he suddenly snorted heavily, brushing his sleeves and returning to his seat.

"The widow understands what Zhao Dan Xiao'er means, doesn't he just want Yuguan Linzhong to threaten Xinzheng? Just give it to him! ”

Obviously, after experiencing this period of fright, Wei Wangyu finally wisely gave up the mentality of carrying it to the end and gave in.

Duan Ganzi also breathed a long sigh of relief when he heard this, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted again: "The king is wise!" ”

When Duan Ganzi walked out of the gate of this temporary palace, he actually had a feeling of being reincarnated.

I finally escaped with my life......

Although Wei Wangyu demoted Duan Ganzi's title to Xiaqing, and Yu Lu was also fined for two years, after all, no matter what, Duan Ganzi's position as Xiangbang was still retained.

As long as there is a position in the prime minister's state, there is still hope.

A sharp pain suddenly came from Duan Ganzi's forehead, interrupting his thinking and causing a wave of anger to rise in Duan Ganzi's heart.

King, king, my Duan Ganzi has served you for so many years, not to mention the merits, at least there is still hard work, right? Is it just that one thing is not going well, and you are so humiliated by me?

Duan Ganzi's good mood was swept away, and he sat in the carriage with a gloomy face.

O king, since you are unkind, then do not blame me for being unjust.
