January 1, 259 BC.

Zhao Dan, who was sitting in Changzhi City, heard a news that did not surprise him.

The people of Qin are going to negotiate peace, and the envoys who negotiate peace have been sent.

Zhao Dan sat on the main seat, looking at the envoy of the Qin State in front of him expressionlessly, but he felt a little funny in his heart.

A few months ago, King Zhao Xiaocheng, who had not yet been crossed at that time, sent Zheng Zhu as an envoy to Xianyang, the capital of Qin, to negotiate peace, but was ruthlessly put on a plate by the Qin people.

Perhaps Qin Wangji and Fan Sui, who used Zheng Zhu and Zhao Xiaocheng as monkeys at that time, did not expect that only a few months later, the entire situation and momentum between the two sides had been completely reversed.

It is said that thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, but it has only been less than half a year, and Zhao Dan has already relied on his own plans and the efforts of Zhao Guo to make Zhao Guo run wild on the road to victory.

Thinking about it like this, Zhao Dan seems to be a little proud.

Speaking of which, the envoy sent by the Qin State is still an old acquaintance of Zhao Dan.

Lou slow, Lou Chang's father.

Lou Xuan, who was already full of gray hair, was in good spirits, and talked to Zhao Dan at the bottom of the hall.

"Great King, now my king sent 300,000 people in Hanoi County to fight with Fuwu Anjun, and there are already millions of heroes in Daqin in the land of Changping, how can Zhao Guo be? If my king orders the whole army to come out, then the destruction of the Zhao State is in sight! ”

"However, my king reads that Qin and Zhao are in the same vein, and he does not want Zhao to suffer from this military disaster. Therefore, the king only needs to sacrifice the party and Qin in the north, then my king can be lenient and benevolent, Handan can avoid the danger of the city being broken, and Zhao can avoid the disaster of the country! ”

Lou Zhuan's words were really righteous and strict, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, and there were two big words from head to toe - serious.

Zhao Dan finally couldn't help laughing.

These damn columnists are really a set of lies.

An army of millions?

Destroy Zhao in minutes?

For the sake of the same clan hundreds of years ago, let Zhao Guo a horse?

Friend, if you keep blowing, shouldn't you go to heaven?

What's more, your Qin Wangji's mother, Empress Dowager Xuan, is a native of Chu, why didn't you see that your Qin Wangji showed mercy when he ordered Bai Qi to burn the temple of Chu Guozong?

There are your Qin Wangji's uncle and grandfather, grandfather's father, grandfather's father's father's father, these people are not closer to the Zhao family of the Zhao State who has been separated from your Qin State Zhao family for hundreds of years?

Why don't you let him go, but you want to let the widow go?

Zhao Dan looked at Lou Yan in front of him with a smile, but he complained frantically in his heart: "This old boy brags without blinking, he is playing the widow as a monkey." ”

But Zhao Dan thought about it, not to mention, according to the records of historical records, Lou Zhuan, the old boy, really played the king of Zhao Xiaocheng in history.

So Zhao Dan's heart moved slightly, otherwise he would have just cut this old boy down?

However, this thought only disappeared after a slight turn in Zhao Dan's mind.

After all, Lou Xuan is now the envoy of the Qin State, if he cuts it directly, in case he angers the Qin people and does not negotiate peacefully, then Zhao Dan will not end well.

It's not that Zhao Dan is afraid of the people of Qin, the main thing is that Zhao Dan actually wants to negotiate peace in his heart.

That's right, now that Zhao Wei and Han Sanjin have joined forces, they have actually blocked Bai Qi and the 600,000 Qin troops under Bai Qi in Shangdang County, and it seems that they have a great advantage, and victory seems to be close at hand.

But Zhao Dan, as a monarch, can't just consider military issues.

In the Battle of Changping in history, Bai Qi used 600,000 people plus more than 100,000 people of Qin Wangji, almost 700,000 to 800,000 troops ate 450,000 Zhao troops, and paid more than 300,000 battle losses.

Now Zhao Dan has 450,000 Zhao troops plus 150,000 minfu and 150,000 Wei and Han coalition troops, a total of 750,000 people, and if he wants to swallow all the 600,000 Bai Qi, it is estimated that there are no 450,000 casualties that cannot be lost.

The historical Qin State could exchange more than 300,000 for the 450,000 of the Zhao State, but the current Zhao Dan absolutely cannot exchange 400,000 for the 600,000 of Bai Qi.

If Zhao Dan sent all the 400,000 Zhao troops to Changping in order to annihilate Bai Qi's 600,000 Qin army, wouldn't it be the same loss as the Zhao State in history?

After losing these 400,000 young people, what is the use of taking Shangdang County?

The next time the Qin people come again, where will Zhao Dan still have soldiers to guard?

Some people may say that although it lost 400,000, it also destroyed 600,000 of Qin, and 300,000 more Qin died than in history, and it was also seriously injured.

That's right, if you do this, the Qin State will also be injured, and it is even likely to fall from the overlord because of this.

And then what?

Then the Qi State will laugh off the big teeth, the Chu State will laugh off the big teeth, and the South Korean Wei State and Yan State will laugh off the big teeth.

Great, the quasi-overlord Zhao Guo and the overlord Qin Guo fought to defeat both, and now everyone is a weak chicken, and they are all genuine "Warring States Seven Bears".

Zhao Guo, thank you!

Oh no, given that your Zhao State has already killed 400,000 people with the Qin State, and there are no elite troops, then it doesn't seem too much for us to take advantage of the fire to rob your Zhao State, attack a few of your cities, and occupy a few of your counties, right?

Anyway, when your elite soldiers of Zhao Guo are dead, you will be honestly bullied by us other countries! Hahaha!

……

To put it bluntly, the biggest enemy of Zhao State today is of course Qin State, but the enemy of Zhao State on the road to dominating the world is not only Qin State!

For this point, Zhao Dan has always kept it in mind.

So of course Zhao Dan would agree to negotiate peace.

In fact, Zhao Dan's policy from beginning to end was very consistent, that is, to defeat the Qin State with as few casualties as possible, and at the same time to include Shangdang County in the territory of Zhao State, especially the Beishangdang Basin, which was crucial to Zhao State, and it must be taken.

With the change of the current situation, Zhao Dan is very close to this goal.

There is only one peace talk left.

But although Zhao Dan needs peace talks, it doesn't mean that the people of Qin sent a messenger to talk nonsense about five people and six people, and then Zhao Dan rushed to the peace talks.

Zhao Dan retracted his thoughts, smiled at the building in front of him, and then waved his hand, his tone was very affirmative: "Come on, send off guests!"

Several wolf-like palace guards of Zhao State suddenly appeared, directly set up the building, and then walked out.

Lou Shu was a little panicked at this time, and hurriedly shouted: "The king, the king, the minister still has something to say, and he still has something to say!"

"Wait!" Zhao Dan called out to the guards, and then smiled at Lou who had just breathed a sigh of relief: "And go back and tell Qin Wangji that if you want to ask for peace, you don't need to send any cats and dogs to fool the widow." If he Qin Wangji wants to talk, then let him talk to the widow himself, and the widow will wait for him in this Changzhi City! ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Dan stared at Lou Chuan with blazing eyes, and for the first time, the majestic aura of a king erupted, so that Lou Chuan couldn't even speak.

"If not, then—don't talk about it!"

After saying this, Zhao Dan waved his hand, and the palace guards directly put the yelling building out.

Watching Lou Xuan's figure gradually disappear, the corners of Zhao Dan's mouth couldn't help but show a mocking smile.

What the hell, send an old liar to try to fool whom?

You, Qin Wangji, are in a hurry for peace talks, but the widow is not in a hurry.

Nineteen years ago, your Qin Wang Ji asked his widowed father to meet in your Qin State's Michi, weren't you very majestic at that time?

Didn't you let your widowed father cheer you up?

Didn't he still threaten to detain his widowed father?

I'm sorry, times have changed now, now—it's time for the widow to play prestige, to get the shame back for his father!

The widow is now in the land of Zhao State, and you Qin Wangji want to negotiate peace? Okay, let's talk about it in the territory of the widow!

Anyway, if you love to come, don't come to pull down!

The widow has an advantage, why is the widow in a hurry?

If you can't do it, you will fight, but the widow wants to see if you Qin Wangji dare to use the lives of 600,000 Qin troops to bet on the widow's ability to bear the casualties of the Zhao State!

Zhao Dan thought about it, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more intense.

That's right, the widow is so angry, don't accept you Qin Wangji to beat me?
