Chapter 461: The Meeting of the Michi (Second Update)
Michi.
This is actually only a small place, but it has gone down in history because of a meeting between the kings of the two countries.
It was here that Lin Xiangru and Qin Wangji fought wits and courage, and finally not only saved the face of Zhao State, but also made a big leap forward for Lin Xiangru's personal career, and since then he has become one of the core leaders of Zhao State.
This place originally belonged to the Qin state, but in this pass it was ceded in a war and became part of the territory of the Zhao state.
July 1, 257 BC.
Zhao Dan, the monarch of Zhao State, and Zhao Zhu, who is still the crown prince of Qin, met here.
Speaking of which, Zhao Dan is really the first time to meet this Zhao Zhu, who has always been famous but has never met.
Zhao Zhu was wearing a black regular robe, a black crown, and red threads on his cuffs and chest, and the whole person looked very energetic, looking quite like a mature king, so that Zhao Dan couldn't help but nod secretly.
And when Zhao Zhu saw Zhao Dan here, he was also very surprised in his heart, you must know that Zhao Dan is not more than thirty years old now, and he has already led Zhao Guo to defeat Qin State three times in a row and become the head of the Seven Heroes of the Mainland, I have to say that it is really an outlier.
At this time, Zhao Dan in Zhao Zhu's eyes was full of energy, wearing a golden crown, wearing a red regular clothes, and his face was full of energy, but his face showed maturity and wisdom that did not match his age at all, and even at some moments, Zhao Zhu had an illusion, that is, he did not seem to be facing Zhao Dan, but his father Qin Wangji.
Just a quarter of an hour ago, the two had just finalized the official documents of the alliance and used the jade seals for each.
Zhao Zhu took a deep breath, restrained his mind for a moment, showed a smile, and said to Zhao Dan: "Now that the covenant has been decided, then I hope that in the future, Qin and Zhao will not invade each other and will always be a country of friendship." ”
When he said this, Zhao Zhu's heart was somewhat bitter.
Back then, Daqin was all about fighting wherever he wanted, only others instigated him, and no Daqin dared to be rigid.
Can ...... now Alas.
Zhao Dan laughed when he heard this, and said to Zhao Zhu: "An Guojun's words have won the hearts of the widows. ”
Zhao Dan is very cool, very cool.
No matter who it is, it will be very refreshing to see a Qin monarch sitting in front of him, obviously full of fear and helplessness, but he can only smile and say good things to himself.
The widow likes you to be unconvinced, but you can't beat the widow, hahaha......
Thinking of this, Zhao Dan smiled even more happily.
The two kings smiled at each other, and the ministers around them all smiled, and the scene looked extremely harmonious and friendly.
But whether it is Zhao Dan or Zhao Zhu, they know very well in their hearts that this is actually just a polite remark.
As long as either of the two countries has not been wiped out, there will always be a day when the war between the two countries will start again.
After talking and laughing with Zhao Zhu, Zhao Dan slowly moved his gaze to Zhao Zhu's side, and looked at the old man on Zhao Zhu's right side, who was as sharp as a peerless murder weapon even if he sat there and was silent, which was difficult to ignore.
Wu Anjun rose in vain.
Two months earlier, the Qin State had secretly appointed Wu Anjun Bai Qi as the main general, and nominally Wei Yu as the main general, leading the Qin army to resist the Chu army on the front line of Wuguan.
This tactic that the Qin people did not successfully use during the Battle of Changping was a great success in this Battle of Wuguan.
Due to Wei Yu's lack of reputation, the Qin army had just suffered a major defeat at the hands of the Zhao army, so the entire Chu army was very arrogant, and the enemy advanced lightly in the war, and then was caught off guard by Bai Qi's ambush and returned defeated.
However, due to the heavy losses of the Qin army in the previous war against the Zhao state, after defeating the Chu army, the Qin army did not continue to attack the Chu state itself, but stopped its army.
According to the information sent by Lü Buwei, who broke into the Qin State, it was this Wu Anjun who advocated a truce in the Qin State this time.
I have to say that as an immortal general, the famous general Bai Qi's judgment of war has always been very accurate.
After killing 400,000 Zhao troops in the First Battle of Changping in history, Bai Qi was recalled to Xianyang, and Wang Ji, Wang Ling, Sima Terrier and others continued to lead the army to attack Zhao Jinyang and Handan.
When the king and the tomb of the king failed, Qin Wangji thought of Bai Qi again and asked Bai Qi to go to fight the fire.
It was at this time that Bai Qi had obviously seen the fatigue of the veterans of the Qin Division, and not only did he not accept Qin Wangji's appointment, but instead advised Qin Wangji to retire.
This incident angered Qin Wangji and became the trigger for Bai Qi's death.
Although in the eyes of the people of this world, the Battle of Changping is undoubtedly a big defeat for Bai Qi, but only Zhao Dan himself knows in his own heart what a troublesome existence Bai Qi is.
If Zhao Zhu proposed to Zhao Dan at this time to exchange Lian Po for Bai Qi, then Zhao Dan would definitely not hesitate and immediately change it in minutes.
It's a pity that there is no such good thing in the world.
Bai Qi obviously also felt Zhao Dan's gaze, and this Wu Anjun raised his head calmly and glanced at Zhao Dan.
At this moment, Zhao Dan suddenly felt that in the small white eyes, there was a trace of extremely dangerous light.
Obviously, if Bai Qi is given a chance, then Bai Qi should be very willing to kill Zhao Dan.
It's a pity that this Wu Anjun doesn't have such an opportunity.
Zhao Dan drifted his gaze to Lu Buwei, who was sitting at the head of Bai Qi.
Regarding Bai Qi's resurgence, although Zhao Dan felt a little headache at first, he was quickly relieved.
Today's Lü Buwei has become the domestic history of Qin, and he can be regarded as one of the important ministers of Qin.
In the future, as long as Zhao Zichu ascends the throne, it is very likely that the position of prime minister of Qin will fall into the hands of Lü Buwei.
At that time, it will be very easy to rectify Bai Qi through Lü Buwei.
As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of god-like opponents, you are afraid of pig-like teammates.
If you want to defeat a famous general like Bai Qi, the most convenient, fast, direct and effective way is not to defeat him on the battlefield, but to shoot cold arrows from behind Bai Qi, that is, in the political arena of the Qin State.
Historically, the Qin State used this strategy very well, and generals like Lian Po Li Mu were basically not defeated by the Qin State in the frontal battlefield, but in the end they did not hinder the victory of the Qin State.
So since Zhao Dan has such good conditions, and has such an excellent and reliable internal response as Lu Buwei, why don't you make good use of it, wouldn't it be a natural thing?
In addition, this time Zhao Zhu also brought Zhao Dan a "gift", that is, a princess of Qin who was only sixteen years old and had just passed the age of Jilu.
In fact, Zhao Dan was not too interested in the affairs of this princess of Qin, after all, for Zhao Dan, the fun of expanding the territory was better than spending time on women.
Gentle Township is a hero's mound.
Overall, the meeting was a great success.
Qin signed an alliance with Zhao at this meeting, and also recognized Zhao's supremacy.
At the meeting of Michi back then, Zhao Guo was also so willing to be the second child, so Zhao Dan's heart was very happy.
In any case, from this point of view, Zhao Dan is also the best and most successful monarch since the founding of Zhao.
The only thing that made Zhao Dan a little regretful was that in the face of Zhao Dan and Zhao Guo's intentional or unintentional provocations, Zhao Zhu and Qin Guo both maintained great restraint, and even Bai Qi did not make any response, which made Zhao Dan quite disappointed.
In addition, even when Zhao Zhu fought for Zhao Dan, no minister of the Qin State stood up for his own monarch like Lin Xiangru back then, which made Zhao Dan, who wanted to step on a few people, quite dissatisfied.
Can't you let the widow find fault with it?
It was with this kind of regret that Zhao Dan left Mianchi and returned to Handan.
There's still a lot of work to be done.
The first thing that needs to be solved is the wedding with the princess of the Qin Kingdom.
Speaking of which, this is Zhao Dan's first wedding after crossing into this era.
