Chapter 166: The Qin State is in Danger Wei Qi finally made peace
Xianyang, Qin State.
At this time, the siege of the Chu army has been half a month, and the entire Qin capital Xianyang has already been besieged, although the king of Yiqu has led tens of thousands of troops to support, but because the Chu army is too numerous, it can no longer play a role.
The King of Qin was still in the city waiting for news of reinforcements from Wei and Han.
After all, although there are still 200,000 Qin troops in Xianyang City of Qin State, there are more than 100,000 Zhuangding who came to help in Yongcheng in the west, and more than 100,000 troops in Liyang in the east, but because they were pursued by the Chu army and divided, they naturally did not dare to fight with the nearly 500,000 Chu army anymore.
I only heard that the King of Qin was anxiously asking in the hall at this time, and the two of them:
"What should I do now, the envoys who went to Han and Wei for help have already gone to three batches, and now there is no news from Hao, this is ...... This I, Great Qin, are really going to perish this time...... Perished? ”
Lyric replied:
"Now the Chu army has besieged our Xianyang on three sides for half a month, but it has not been attacked, and the east waterway is left unblocked, obviously the Chu army wants to force us to give up Xianyang and flee east from the waterway, it can be seen that Jing Cui, the main general of the Chu army, must feel that the cost of capturing our Xianyang is too great, so he made such a choice, so you don't have to worry so much for the time being!"
Sima Cuo said:
"But it's not a way to go on like this, I'm afraid that the food in the city is not enough for the army and the people for two months, and the Chu army has robbed a large number of people and granaries near us, and now there is plenty of grain and grass, if the Chu State besieges us for a long time, where can we bear it!"
Sima Cuo said:
"Now that Wei and Qi have negotiated peace, and Wei has 150,000 elite soldiers in Hexi, as long as they come to help and join our Liyang army, they will definitely be able to threaten Chu's army outside our north gate of Xianyang, if the king writes a letter to King Han again, promising to return the land between South Korea's new city and Yiyang, presumably South Korea will definitely be willing to send troops to help, and when the time comes, let Wei and Han attack the land of Chu Fangcheng together, then Chu will be negatively hosted, and our Xianyang crisis can be lifted."
Zhu Liji also said:
"General Sima is right, besides, now that I heard that the State of Chu killed the envoy of the State of Qin to Huaisi to receive the land, presumably after Qi Wei made peace, the State of Qi will definitely not give up, and the State of Chu will soon enter a situation of being attacked on three sides!"
After listening to these words of the two of them, King Qin couldn't help but think of the prince's aid to Wei, but after offending the three kingdoms of Wei, Song, and Lu, he looked very angry:
"You go and call Dang'er, the widow must punish him well, this time it's all to blame him, it's all to blame him, it's not him who is causing trouble everywhere, we won't even be able to ask for reinforcements in the Qin State now, if it's not him, Zhang Yi won't disappear, otherwise Zhang Yi will definitely have a way to solve the danger of Xianyang for the widow this time!"
Zhu Liji immediately persuaded the King of Qin:
"Your Majesty, don't blame the prince at this time, although the prince occasionally acted a little absurd, and he also made mistakes when aiding Wei, but after all, he is the prince of our Qin State, and the prince is so young, like the king at the prince's age, how can he not make mistakes?"
Sima Cuo said at this time:
"Yichen's opinion, it's better to do this, let the queen take the prince to Wei to ask for guilt and ask for help, after all, the prince is the nephew of the king of Wei, and the queen is the sister of the king of Wei, presumably the queen must have a way to persuade the king of Wei to ask for the help of Wei, as long as Wei is willing to come to help, South Korea will definitely not sit idly by like now."
King Qin hesitated:
"Well, that seems to be the only way to it!"
So the king of Qin sent his queen and the prince to Wei by boat along Weishui to ask for reinforcements.
Wei Si also had a meeting with King Qi in Huangchi that day, and Zhao Jun naturally sat in the middle.
Just listen to the king of Qi first said:
"King Wei, if you want our Qi State to withdraw this time, your Wei State must return more than ten cities such as Malingdao and Juancheng of our Qi State, otherwise our Qi army will definitely break through your Daliang City tomorrow!"
Seeing that King Qi was still so hard-mouthed, Wei Si responded:
"Since you said so, King Qi, there is no need for this peace talks, Malingdao, Juancheng and other places are the hometown of my Wei State, how can there be any talk of returning? Then let's go back and gather troops and horses to continue fighting. ”
After saying that, Wei Si got up and left, and King Qi also left and stood up.
Seeing this, Zhao Jun on the side had to come over and persuade the two of them to sit down.
I only heard Zhao Jun say:
"Two monarchs, didn't you promise me that I would make peace? Why bother? I heard that the state of Chu has now surrounded the capital of Qin, Xianyang, and both countries have contradictions with Chu, if you still want to fight like this, both sides will lose, and when the state of Chu destroys the state of Qin, won't the next one to suffer is your two countries? ”
Then he smiled and said:
"Two monarchs, I hope you calm down and think about it!"
So Wei Si and the King of Qi called their important ministers to their side to discuss.
Wei Si is naturally called Chen Zhen and Su Qin.
I only heard Wei Si ask in a low voice:
"Two ministers, what should we do now?"
Chen Zhen replied:
"This King of Qi is obviously hard-mouthed, presumably he must have made up his mind to retreat before he negotiated peace with us, and he still wants to ask for Maling Road, Juancheng and other cities just to take the opportunity to negotiate peace, so that Qi can benefit, so the king you should just ask the King of Qi for the land between Maling Road and Lixia City!"
Wei Si also found that he was too excited and forgetful for a while, but he suffered a little, so he asked:
"So what should we do now?"
Chen Zhen said:
"If the next time the King of Qi asks you for Maling Dao and other places, you can directly tell him that now that the prince of Chu is a guest in our Daliang, he must definitely weigh three points!"
Sure enough, as Chen Zhen expected, the king of Qi put forward the conditions for retreating this time, although he made some concessions, but he still wanted Wei to return his land of Maling Road and Liqiu.
Wei Si also told the King of Qi as Chen Zhen said that the crown prince of Chu was now a guest in Daliang, which made the King of Qi's face instantly become ugly.
After a while, Kuang Zhang and Tian Ying, the minister of state who had come because of the peace talks, discussed in a whisper.
I only heard the king of Qi say:
"I didn't expect that Prince Chu would actually arrive in the Great Liang of Wei State now, what should I do now?"
Kuang Zhang said:
"Yes, I didn't expect the Prince of Chu to escape to Daliang, and now it gives them the upper hand, if the Wei State escorts the Prince of Chu back to Ying, then the two countries of Wei and Chu will inevitably get back together in the future, which is very unfavorable to our Qi State!"
田影也says:
"Yes, the King of Wei mentioned the matter of the Prince of Chu in Daliang in front of the King at this time, obviously hinting to the King that if you insist on asking the Wei State for the loss of our Qi State before this time, then the Wei State will use the Prince of Chu to unite against our Qi State!"
King Qi asked:
"Then how should the widow talk about it next?"
Tian Ying said:
"When we talk again, the king, you have to ask the king of Wei to ask for the prince of Chu, after all, the prince of Chu is hostage in our Linzi, but I'm afraid it is impossible for Wei to hand over the prince of Chu, and now our Qi country really can't fight anymore!"
King Qi couldn't help but say:
"According to your intentions, the widow can no longer claim the land of the former Wei State to occupy my Qi State?"
Tian Ying replied:
"Yes, now that the prince of Chu is in Daliang, if we ask for those lands again, isn't that going to offend the Wei State? So we can only ask Wei to try not to have any contact with Chu now, but also to unite with Wei. ”
匡章也says:
"Yes, I didn't expect Wei to have this trick, compared to the loss of land in Malingdao, Huaisi is much more important to our Qi State, and now Chu State is attacking Qin State with the strength of the whole country, and the defense of other places is weak, so we should make peace with Wei State as soon as possible, and then take the opportunity to attack Chu State and seize the land of Huaisi, this is the greatest interest of our Qi State!"
King Qi looked at Tian Ying again:
"Is that what Xiang Bang sees too?"
Tian Ying replied:
"Yes, this is the best way now, after all, the people of Linzi are now indignant, and they want to avenge Tian Ji, if you don't go back, then Linzi may not be able to control it!"
So the king of Qi had to lower his dignity, no longer ask for Malingdao and other places, and made peace with Wei, and then let Xiangguo Tianying stay in Daliang, and talked with Wei about a joint attack on Chu.
After the retreat of the Qi State, Zhao Jun and others also left Daliang one after another.
The Wei State also celebrated with the whole country, and the Wei Si even summoned the Han Xiang Gong Zhongxuan, Qi Xiang Tian Ying, the prince Xiong Heng and Qu Yuan, the Qin State Proton Yingji and others who were still in Daliang to the palace and held a banquet to celebrate.
Wei Si first toasted everyone:
"Ministers, sons, it is not easy to gather in the city of the widow, today the widow is here to give you a cup, I hope that in the future, you can be happy and happy after we are in the beam, or come to our beam!"
At this time, Qin Gongzi Yingji, who was only thirteen years old and was hostage in Daliang, suddenly held a wine glass and cried in front of everyone:
"King Wei, you and all the ministers and brothers are indeed happy now, but ...... But...... But my Qin State, now...... Now it is going to be destroyed by the state of Chu...... It's gone! ”
Talking and talking about Yingji's wine suddenly spilled on a group of dancers from Zhao Guo who were dancing Hu Dance, which instantly made these dancers in the hall panic.
Immediately, several guards ran over and restrained Ying Ji and escorted him to Wei Si.
Wei Si didn't expect that this young Yingji would dare to sweep everyone Yaxing, so he shouted angrily at him:
"You guy, the widow kindly invited you to the banquet, you don't know what to do, you spoil the interest of these distinguished guests here, don't you want to live?"
Ying Ji seemed to be not afraid of death and replied:
"It's your business for you and you to celebrate, I'm not in the mood to celebrate!"
As he spoke, he suddenly pointed angrily to Xiong Heng and Qu Yuan, the princes of Chu who were sitting there and were laughing at themselves, and said:
"It's you...... It's you Chu State, if it weren't for the fact that I am in the palace of King Wei now, I would have killed you two Chu State villains with a sword! ”
