Chapter 301: Showing Weakness
Xiong Huai and King Zhao glanced at each other again, then smiled slightly, and then the two of them looked at King Han in unison.
โยทยทยทยทยทยทโ After the King of Wei named him, King Han was still very curious about who would first propose peace with Qin.
As a result, just a moment later, the fire burned on himself.
Looking at the meaningful smile of King Zhao of Chu, and then seeing King Wei's increasingly ugly face, King Han's face changed instantly, and then, with a long sigh, he secretly said to himself in his heart: King Wei must know that he was forced.
Thinking about it, seeing that King Zhao of Chu had already collected the smile on his face, King Han immediately spoke: "Actually, the widow thinks that the war between our five countries and the Qin State has reached this point, and the Qin State has been seriously weakened, and it is time for us to stop and make peace with the Qin State." โ
Seeing that King Han threw a wry smile at him, King Wei couldn't help but snort coldly.
Sure enough, as soon as King Han's voice fell, King Zhao immediately said: "What King Han said is very true, and I have a relationship in my heart!" The Qin State has learned a lesson this time, and it will definitely be stable for a few years. โ
Xiong Huai followed with a smile and said: "What King Zhao of Han said is reasonable, Qin is a strong country, and it is not a battle that can be completely defeated, and now we have been fighting fiercely with Qin for several months, and the soldiers are tired, and the widow also feels that it is time to make a truce with Qin." โ
King Wei's face stiffened, one vote to three votes, and he had to accept his fate alone.
With the strength of Wei alone, it is not the opponent of Qin, if all countries withdraw their troops, there will only be one Wei left, which is self-inflicted.
Thinking about it, King Wei spoke: "Okay, it's okay to make a truce with Qin, but we must force Qin to bow to us." Moreover, for the next retaliation of the Qin State, our four countries must work together to defend it. โ
Xiong Huai saw that King Wei was relieved, and immediately agreed: "King Wei, please rest assured, as long as the Qin State dares to send troops to attack Han Wei, then the widow will definitely send troops to rescue immediately." โ
King Zhao also spoke: "Wei and Han are all widowed brothers, once Wei Han has something, the widow dares not to serve his life!" โ
Han Wang: "ยทยทยท"
When King Wei saw that Chu and Zhao had made a promise, his face softened slightly, and then he spoke: "King Zhao, before our countries formed the Son of Heaven Guard, which was specially used to prevent the invasion of other countries, according to the widow's opinion, why didn't King Zhao also send 20,000 troops to join the Son of Heaven Guard!" โ
The Protectors of the Son of Heaven were extremely beneficial to the defense of Wei and Han, and now that Wei had reopened a gap in the land of the West River, the king of Wei was afraid that he would be the first to be retaliated by Qin, so he planned to pull Zhao into the water.
At the same time, he was also preparing to use the power of Zhao to balance the Chu State.
Xiong Huai glanced at the King of Wei, and saw the thoughts of the King of Wei clearly, it was not good for the King of Wei to win over Wei and Han in the Chu State, but the King of Wei's consideration of the Chu State could not but consider it.
Thinking about it, Xiong Huai did not say anything against it.
Anyway, the Son of Heaven's escort army is an expedient measure for the Chu State.
"This..." King Zhao had a hesitant look on his face when he heard this, he had naturally heard of the Son of Heaven's guards, but this army was stationed in Luoyi, which was a little far away from Zhao State, and it was difficult to quickly rescue Zhao State.
If Zhao stationed 20,000 troops in Luoyi all year round, this would also be an unclear burden.
However, once Zhao obtained the right to speak in the Three Jin Dynasty, then the Son of Heaven Guard was a sharp weapon to win over Wei and Han.
Moreover, Chu also has concerns, and Zhao also has them.
At this time, King Han saw that King Zhao had moved, so he instigated: "King Zhao, the widow also thinks that the Son of Heaven's guards are conducive to guarding against the Qin State. โ
King Zhao didn't hesitate anymore when he heard this: "Okay, the widow agreed!" โ
ยทยทยทยทยทยท
Xianyang, Qin State.
Qin Wangdang, who had been gloomy for several months, finally had a smile on his face at this moment, and smiled at Zhang Yi: "Father, as you expected, after the widow gave up the northern part of Shangjun, the two countries of Qi and Zhao were separated. As soon as the Yan State asked for help from various countries, the Zhao State couldn't sit still, and now the four countries have sent envoys to ask for peace with our Qin State. โ
As he spoke, Qin Wangdang paused and asked, "Father, how do you think the widow should reply to the envoys of various countries?" โ
Zhang Yi thought for a while and said, "Great King, although the Three Jin Dynasty and the Chu State have decided to make peace with us, the situation in which our Qin State is isolated has not changed. โ
"If you continue to delay, you will undoubtedly block the sword for the Qi State, and it will also cause fear in Sanjin. Therefore, the minister thinks that we should agree to the peace of the four countries, and let the four countries calmly deal with the Qi country. โ
As he spoke, Zhang Yi saw King Qin nodding and continued: "Not only that, but in order to prevent the countries from besieging the Qin State again, we need to show further weakness when we have been weakened this time in order to break up the Hezong Alliance. โ
"Further weakness!" Qin Wang Dang frowned slightly when he heard this, and asked, "I don't know what Father Xiang's plan is?" โ
Zhang Yi opened his mouth and said: "Great King, now that the Qi State has formed an alliance with Zhao and Wei, this is tearing a crack in the alliance of the alliance of the two countries. โ
"I heard that this time the countries made peace with us, and Wei was originally unwilling, but because of the pressure of the other three countries, it had to give in. Because of this incident, Wei was already dissatisfied with Chu and Zhao. โ
Hearing this, Qin Wang Dang snorted coldly: "All countries are attacking Qin, and in the end, Wei is the most active, and sooner or later the widow will take Wei to attack." โ
Zhang Yi arched his hand and said: "Great King, if you want to attack the Wei State, you must first isolate the Wei State, and the Wei State is now dissatisfied with Chu Zhao, this is our opportunity." โ
King Qin was stunned for a moment, and said, "What does Father Xiang mean?" โ
"The king, the minister means to return Shaoliang to the Wei State."
"No way!" Qin Wangdang immediately shook his head and refused: "Shaoliang is the base of the Wei State to attack my Qin State in the past, and it is the root cause of the humiliation of our Qin State for decades. โ
Zhang Yi explained: "If you want to take it, you must give it first, and return Shaoliang to Wei, not only to paralyze Wei, but also to attract the Wei army to the west of the river, and then gather and annihilate it." And when the Wei army was caught off guard, he could cross the river in one fell swoop and occupy Fenyin and Puyang of Wei, thus opening the blockade of various countries. โ
"Moreover, now that Wei has formed an alliance with Qi and Chu at the same time, if our Qin State is friendly with Wei State, then Wei State will have no external troubles, and a Wei State without external troubles will not just be connected with Chu State."
"At that time, we can win over the Wei State and break up the alliance."
Qin Wangdang thought for a long time before he spoke: "Okay, the widow agreed!" โ
"The king is wise!" Zhang Yi bowed, and then said: "Great King, if you want to show weakness, it is not enough to return Shaoliang to Wei, you also need to be a vassal to Chu, and show goodwill to Zhao and Han, and then return the ten cities of Yiqu to show that Qin wants all countries to submit." โ
King Qin was stunned for a moment and asked, "Father, do we need to do this?" โ
