In this era, a person who does not like to kill may be a good person, but a king who does not like to kill must not be a good king.

If you don't kill others, others will kill you.

In the world of great contention, what is fighting is actually killing.

How to kill people more efficiently, kill the enemy more efficiently, and occupy the enemy's territory, rule and enslave the enemy's people by killing the enemy more efficiently is the main theme of this world of great contention.

Those who like to be open to the enemy and be merciful will not be able to get along in such a world of great contention.

And the examples of the rulers who are recorded in the history books are only the result of a sudden and kind attack of a group of executioners and butchers.

It is precisely because such rare cases of butchers showing kindness are so rare that they have the value of being recorded in the history books.

In the Warring States period, benevolence should have been able to be equated with stupidity most of the time.

Renjun is only suitable for peaceful and prosperous times.

As a country that has always been called a barbarian by the Chinese countries of the Central Plains, the monarchs of the Chu State may be irritable, mediocre, or cowardly, but they will never be merciful to their enemies.

There is no doubt that Xiong Yuan, the current monarch of the Chu State, has inherited the bloodline of his Chu State Xiong clan that has always dared to fight.

If there was a slightly older monarch, or if the age of Chu Wangyuan was another year or twenty, then it was possible that such a resolute declaration of war would not have been issued.

But for the young Chu Wangyuan now, if he can defeat Qin Wangji and Qi Wangjian in one fell swoop in this place, and capture the king first, it will be really a good thing.

As for the risk of doing so, that's not a big deal.

As soon as Chu Wangyuan's words full of gunpowder were spoken, the whole situation became even more tense.

Qin, Zhao, Qi, and Chu, the four monarchs of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, have all clearly stated their attitudes.

And the soldiers under their command have already wound their bows and arrows, and clenched their weapons, ready to start a desperate battle under the orders of their own king.

But the battle didn't happen immediately for a while.

Because the people here are not just from four countries.

Zhao Dan's eyes were looking at Han Wangran and Wei Wangyu, and Qin Wangji's eyes were also looking at Han Wangran and Wei Wangyu.

Qin Qi vs. Zhao Chu, it seems that this is a five-five showdown.

But don't forget that there is also Korea and Wei.

Since the Warring States period entered the middle and late periods, both Korea and Wei have become second- and third-rate countries.

But what is very interesting is that as long as any hegemon can cooperate with Han and Wei, he can easily defeat the other overlord.

The Battle of Lantian, the Battle of Vertical Sand, and the Five Kingdoms Invasion of Qi, in this world-famous war, Han and Wei both played a role that could not be ignored.

Now, too, it is time for these two countries to make a decision.

Han Wangran and Zhao Dan glanced at each other, a smile like a spring breeze appeared on their faces, and then said slowly: "Everyone in the world knows that the Three Jin Dynasty is an alliance, and the widow has always done what he says, and he is not the one who violates his promise, so naturally he will not betray the alliance and betray Zhao Ye." ”

After Han Wangran said this, he nodded at Zhao Dan with a smile, and he didn't know what he meant.

South Korea sided with Zhao.

After saying this, Han Wangran didn't forget to glance at Wei Wangyu who was not far away, and said with a smile: "What does King Wei think?" ”

Wei Wangyu felt quite a headache.

For Wei Wangyu, now is not a good time to take a stand.

As the first overlord of the Warring States Period, the Wei State lacked a good impression of both the Qin State and the Zhao State.

These two countries have one thing in common, that is, they were both beaten by Wei so that they couldn't find the north, but now they have beaten Wei so that they can't find the north......

In such a situation, if he can choose freely, Wei Wangyu actually hopes that he can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, so that Qin and Zhao can fight to the death.

But reason told Wei Wangyu that he couldn't do this.

When a country is strong, it is feasible to remain neutral, because that would make everyone scramble to be the first to join Wei.

However, if neutrality is forcibly maintained in a situation like the current situation, then Qin and Zhao may first join forces to Yin Wei in order to prevent Wei from joining the opponent's camp.

Powerful neutrality, that is called left and right. Neutrality without strength is called looking for death.

Therefore, Wei must choose a side, whether it succeeds or fails, it is stronger than remaining neutral and encountering the fear of both sides at the same time.

Fortunately, Wei Wangyu had already made a decision.

Before announcing this decision, Wei Wangyu glanced at Qi Wangjian first.

Wei Wangyu didn't see any expression on Qi Wangjian's face, and the young Qi monarch didn't seem to care much about Wei Wangjian's opinion.

It's normal to think about it, you must know that at this moment, Wei Wuji is leading 20,000 Wei troops to confront 200,000 Qi State skilled fighters on the edge of Pengcheng.

Coupled with today's incident, Qi Wangjian has already regarded Wei Wangyu as an enemy.

Wei Wangyu turned his head and looked at Qin Wangji on the other side.

Contrary to Qi Wangjian, Qin Wangji had actually been trying to win over Wei all along, and this kind of co-optation had already begun before the Battle of Changping or even earlier.

Facing Qin Wangji's eager eyes, Wei Wangyu did not give any answer, but looked away again and threw his gaze at Zhao Dan, who was in the middle of the Zhao army's array.

At this moment, Zhao Dan also had a smile on his face, this smile was very calm, and it seemed that it made people feel as if everything was under Zhao Dan's control.

To be honest, Wei Wangyu really hated Zhao Dan's smile.

Just the last time the Zhongmu Alliance, Zhao Dan punished Gao Ji, who was still a favorite minister of Wei Wangyu at the time, with this damn smile, and severely suppressed Wei Wangyu for a wave, so that Wei Wangyu had to accept the fact that Wei Wuji had returned to China and that Wei had become Zhao's younger brother.

It's time to make a decision.

Wei Wangyu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "King Qi, today's events are all started from you, and the widow will never allow your soldiers to take the widow's banner off the flagpole." If you insist on fighting, then let your horse come! ”

Although this sentence does not seem to be directly aimed at the Qin State, since it is aimed at the Qi State that is on the side of the Qin State, it is actually no different from the Qin State.

So after hearing Wei Wangji's decision, Qin Wangji and Qi Wangjian's faces sank at the same time.

On the other hand, on Zhao Dan's side, almost every monarch had a smile on his face.

Zhao, Chu, Han, and Wei against Qin and Qi.

In this way, there is no need to even go to war, and the result is already very obvious.

From both the point of view of numbers and combat effectiveness, the Qin-Qi Alliance obviously does not have the upper hand.

It is true that the number is not everything, but considering the fact that the kings of each country must bring elite troops, the difference in numbers is actually very revealing at this time.

Zhao Dan looked at Qin Wangji with a smile: "King Qin, what else do you have to say now?" ”

Qin Wangji took a deep breath and looked at Zhao Dan with fixed eyes.

All the old Qin soldiers clenched all kinds of weapons in their hands, ready to obey the order to kill in the next moment.

The next moment, a smile suddenly appeared on Qin Wangji's face.

"King Zhao misunderstood."

Everyone who heard Qin Wangji's words couldn't help but shake their bodies, and a surprised expression appeared on their faces.

"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding? Zhao Dan continued to look at Qin Wangji with a smile.

The smile on Qin Wangji's face became even stronger: "The widow came this time to discuss the armistice and peace talks with King Zhao, how could he use his sword soldiers at this time?" ”

Hearing Qin Wangji's words, the eyes of several other monarchs were about to pop out.

The dignified Great Qin Empire, the dignified Warring States overlord Qin Wangji, actually made a concession to Zhao Dan at such a tense moment?

What made everyone's jaws fall even more was that Zhao Dan actually nodded with a smile and agreed with Qin Wangji's words.

"The widow thinks that what King Qin said is very true! This Luoyi meeting is held for peace, and if there is any fighting and killing at this conference, it will not be in line with the original intention of the alliance! ”

After saying this, Zhao Dan and Qin Wangji glanced at each other, and suddenly laughed out loud in unison.

The smiles on their faces are obviously very rich, and the laughter sounds very hearty, but for some reason, it always gives people an extremely strange feeling when they hear it in other people's ears.

After a few moments, the laughter of the two slowly stopped almost at the same time.

Qin Wangji bowed to Zhao Dan: "Since this is the case, then the matter here will be troubled by King Zhao, and the widow is a little tired, so he will go back to the camp to rest first." ”

The expression on Qin Wangji's face looked very sincere.

Zhao Dan also returned the salute, and said: "King Qin is now old, why should he come forward to run around for everything?" However, the widow is still young, and it is natural to take care of some affairs for the elderly. ”

Zhao Dan's expression and tone when he spoke were also very sincere.

Qin Wangji laughed and waved his sleeves: "Second and third sons, go back to the camp with the widow!" ”

Under Qin Wangji's order, the 20,000 Qin troops turned into the front army in an orderly manner, and slowly retreated into the black Qin army camp in the snow.

And Qin Wangji's carriage gradually disappeared from Zhao Dan's sight along with the Qin army.

During this period, Zhao Dan kept standing with a smile, and his eyes never left the Qin army in front of him.

If someone stood near Zhao Dan at this time and carefully observed his face, a trace of undetectable hesitation could be seen on Zhao Dan's face.

What is Zhao Dan hesitating about?

Fortunately, after a while, this hesitant look disappeared from Zhao Dan's face.

It was at this time that the last Qin troops also retreated into the Qin army camp.

The door of the Qin army's camp slowly closed, closing the entire Qin army's camp and completely isolating all eyes from the outside world.

Zhao Dan slowly withdrew his gaze, then moved his gaze to the other side, looking at Qi Wangjian's face, who was still pretending to be calm, but his flickering eyes betrayed the frightened face in his heart.

"The widow has a word, I wonder if the king of Qi is willing to listen to it?"
