Zhao Dan's words were like a stone suddenly thrown into the calm lake water, and countless ripples were caused in an instant.

Whether it was Chu Wangyuan or Wei Wangyu who were present, or Han Wangran and Qi Wangjian who were putting on a high-minded attitude on the side, almost all of them quickly started to use their brains and began to think about it the moment Zhao Dan's voice fell.

Zhao Dan's words just now have actually been made clear enough, as a mediator, if anyone disagrees with Zhao Dan's suggestion, then who will not give Zhao Dan face.

Considering Zhao Dan's identity as the monarch of the most powerful country in the world and the leader of the alliance this time, Zhao Dan's face can be said to be very big.

If this face is given, then this matter will naturally end there. But if you don't give this face, then things may be in a big mess.

After a period of silence, Chu Wangyuan was the first to speak: "King Zhao's proposal, the widow has no opinion. ”

Of course, Chu Wangyuan had no opinion, because Chu Wangyuan didn't have any choice at all.

If it weren't for Zhao Dan's support, Chu Wangyuan wouldn't even be qualified to sit down with Wei Wangyuan to negotiate now—because Wei Wangyu would probably choose to swallow Chu Wangyuan's Chu State directly, and swallow as much as he can.

To put it bluntly, the current state of Chu is actually a puppet launched by the state of Zhao to restrict the expansion of the state of Wei, who has ever heard that a puppet can still bargain with the main messenger behind it?

At least not in this Chu State now.

And in any case, being able to get Shouchun back, in fact, this is already a very good result for the King of Chu and the State of Chu.

After all, in addition to Chen Cheng, Shouchun is now the second largest city in the Chu State, and it is also the Yandu (Companion Capital) of the Chu State.

Being able to get back such a city with strong symbolic significance is also of great benefit to the morale of the subjects of Chu State.

After taking back Shouchun, Chu Wangyuan could return to Chu in a glorious manner, and proudly announced to all the subjects of Chu that Chu Wangyuan had won a victory at this diplomatic conference.

Although this is somewhat self-deceptive, the current state of Chu needs such self-deception.

Since Chu Wangyuan had already agreed, the people present naturally turned their eyes to the other party who had not yet spoken, Wei Wangyu.

If Wei Wangyu agrees with Zhao Dan's opinion, then Zhao Dan's mediation will be completed, and this war should be over.

Will Wei Wangyu agree to such a condition for Zhao Dan? Everyone is waiting for an answer.

Fortunately, Wei Wangyu did not let the people present wait too long.

After pondering for a moment, Wei Wangyu slowly spoke, his voice low and firm.

"Although King Zhao's opinion sounds very reasonable, the widow cannot agree with such an opinion."

Of course, it was impossible for Wei Wangyu to agree to such a request.

Due to the previous intervention of the Zhao State, Wei Wangyu had been forced to stop the attack on Huiji County, and now there was only one Jiujiang County in the hands of the Wei State.

Now the area occupied by Wei is not even half of what Wei Wangyu planned in advance, which has made Wei Wangyu very dissatisfied.

Under such circumstances, if you want Wei Wangyu to hand over Shouchun, the largest city in his hands, how can he agree?

What's more, Wei Wangyu had already quietly reached a consensus with his henchman Duan Ganzi before, that is, in the near future, Wei Wangyu would move his capital from Taoyi, which was close to Zhao, to Shouchun, south of the Huai River.

In other words, in the heart of Wei Wangyu, Shouchun is the future capital of Wei.

Now if he wants Wei Wangyu to hand over the future capital of Wei, how can he agree?

Of course, Wei Wangyu chose to refuse.

After Wei Wangyu's refusal, the atmosphere of the entire hall instantly became solemn.

Zhao Dan looked at Wei Wangyu, he couldn't see any expression on his face, and said very calmly: "King Wei, don't you really consider the opinion of the widow?" ”

Even though the tone was calm, the vague dissatisfaction in it could still be heard very clearly.

Wei Wangyu arched his hand towards Zhao Dan and said, "King Zhao is the leader of the Three Jin Alliance, and it stands to reason that the widow should agree to King Zhao's mediation. However, Shouchun is too important to the Wei State, and he also asks the king of Zhao to forgive the widow and not to part with his love. ”

Zhao Dan's brows furrowed, and his tone became a lot heavier: "King Wei, can't you really even give this little face to the widow?" ”

Wei Wangyu looked directly at Zhao Dan with his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "King Zhao, the widow and the Wei State are the victors of this war, and if they can agree to a truce with the Chu State, it is already for the sake of the King of Zhao's face." If you want to let the widow continue to make concessions, it is indeed absolutely impossible. ”

Zhao Dan's hand lightly knocked on the table, and slowly nodded to Wei Wangyu and said, "Very good, it seems that the victories in recent years have indeed increased King Wei's self-confidence." ”

Wei Wangyu smiled and said to Zhao Dan: "Zhao Wangyu praised it. Thinking that the widowed Wei State is the inheritance of the orthodoxy of the Jin State, it has been a big country in the Central Plains for two hundred years, and this background and self-confidence are certainly not lacking. Even if there is a slight enemy coveting it, the Wei State has never fallen, and it is absolutely impossible to be afraid! ”

When Wei Wangyu said this, the faces of several other monarchs in the main hall suddenly changed and became quite surprised.

As we all know, Wei has always been the younger brother of Zhao Guo.

Although there are often some dirty disputes between Zhao and Wei, and even a big war broke out between the two sides because of this, on the whole, there has been more cooperation than confrontation between Zhao and Wei in recent years.

And at this moment, Wei Wangyu actually rejected Zhao Dan's request cleanly in such a way that did not give Zhao Dan face, and put on an attitude of not caring about turning his face directly with Zhao Guo, which was obviously a very surprising thing for everyone.

"Good, very good." The smile on Zhao Dan's face became even richer, and he said, "Since King Wei is unwilling to agree with the widow's opinion, then the widow feels that there is no need for this alliance to continue, so let's stop here today." ”

As soon as Zhao Dan's expulsion order was issued, the other kings naturally left this hall very quickly.

After a long while, Zheng Zhu walked into the main hall and said to Zhao Dan: "The cars of the kings have already left. ”

Zhao Dan nodded slightly when he heard this, but did not speak, judging from the expression on his face, Zhao Dan was obviously still thinking about some questions.

Zheng Zhu glanced at Zhao Dan and couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Since Zhao Dan ascended the throne, Zhao has actually been smooth sailing, and big battles like the Battle of Changping can also be won thrillingly, although the next battles have had ups and downs, but the results have all ended in victory.

It can be said that the smoothness of Zhao Guo was completely beyond everyone's imagination.

So Zheng Zhu was actually a little worried that Zhao Dan would become inflated and conceited because of these victories.

An inflated and conceited person is very easily irritated, especially in this situation today.

If Zhao Dan was really angered by Wei Wangyu's collision, and even lost his mind because of this, it would definitely not be good news for Zhao Guo.

So Zheng Zhu thought about it, and still said to Zhao Dan: "The king doesn't need to be too angry, since the king of Wei has rejected the king's request, then he will definitely pay the price for it." ”

Wei must be punished, otherwise, where will Zhao Guo's face go?

Zhao Dan nodded, and suddenly said: "Zheng Qing, you and the widow will tell you, King Wei did this today, where is his confidence?" ”

Zheng Zhu was slightly shocked in his heart, thinking that Zhao Dan was still struggling with what had just happened, but when he raised his head, he found that although Zhao Dan had obvious doubts on his face, he didn't have much anger.

This time, Zheng Zhu was finally relieved.

Zheng Zhu thought for a moment and said to Zhao Dan: "Back to the king, the minister also feels that this matter is very strange. ”

"That's right." Zhao Dan nodded slightly, and said: "The widow has long known that the king of Wei is dissatisfied with the widow's heart, and he has long known that it is impossible for the Wei State to be subservient to the Zhao State for a long time. But the strange thing about the widow is that the king chose to turn his face with the widow at this time? This always makes the widow feel that something is wrong. ”

You must know that for a long time, Zhao's staff officers have been divided into two types: diplomatic staff and military staff, the military staff is under the command of Pang Xuan, and the diplomatic staff is under the command of Zheng Zhu.

Therefore, after determining the possibility of a war against Wei, Zhao's diplomatic staff had already come up with a complete set of analysis plans.

According to the analysis taken out by the diplomatic staff, even if Wei wants to turn against Zhao, then the best time should be after Wei has completely swallowed and digested Jiujiang County of Chu, consolidated and completed the growth of strength, and then will unite other countries to turn against Zhao.

But at present, the war between Wei and Chu has not completely ended, and Wei has only just occupied a large area of Jiujiang County in Chu not long ago, and even from Hu Yiwei's report, the officials of Wei have not even completely sorted out Jiujiang County, let alone completely control Jiujiang County.

At such a time, why did Wei Wangyu turn his face with Zhao Dan?

Zhao Dan felt a hint of conspiracy.

He desperately needed an answer.

But it's a pity that Zheng Zhu can't answer Zhao Dan's question

……

After another moment, someone came to report to Zhao Dan: "Great King, the envoys of Wei have begun to leave. ”

"What?" After Zhao Dan heard this report, he couldn't help but pause again.

It seems that this Wei Wangyu really doesn't plan to have any buffer room, so he just leaves.

In other words, Wei Wangyu really intends to confront Zhao to the end this time, and does not plan to make any compromises.

Who gave Wei Wangyu the courage to do this? Qin State?

Zhao Dan was a little puzzled.

The smell of conspiracy seems to have intensified.

As the saying goes, when things go wrong, there must be demons.

Zhao Dan was silent for a while, and finally spoke again.

"Zheng Qing, you go to King Han's side to report it, and say that tonight, the widow will have a banquet for King Han!"
